Q: Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan Voicemail Audio Just Hours Before Death ... Cheerful, Ready to Record
Cranberries Singer Dolores O'Riordan Left Final Voicemail Before Death
EXCLUSIVE
Dolores O'Riordan sounded pumped and ready to belt out her old tune with a new band the day she died ... this according to her last voicemail ever.
TMZ has obtained a voice message Dolores left for her longtime friend and label exec, Dan Waite, on Jan. 15 -- the day she unexpectedly passed away -- which also happened to be the day she was set to record a cover of The Cranberries' song "Zombie" with Bad Wolves.
We're told the voicemail's time stamp was 1:12 AM GMT in London ... and, as you can hear, Dan -- who set up the collab -- is clearly mentioned in the audio. Dolores also says she loved Bad Wolves' version of "Zombie" ... adding it "sounds f****** terribly good."
Clearly, she was excited to get in the studio -- but, unfortunately, she never made it. As we reported ... The Cranberries singer was found dead just hours later in her hotel. Her cause of death has yet to be released -- police have only said she died suddenly.
Reports surfaced Dolores may have taken her own life, especially because she had extreme bouts with depression. If it turns out to be the case, it would be eerily similar to Chris Cornell's death ... where his wife said he was in a great mood hours before he died. You'll recall, Chris seemed as if nothing was wrong just before he took the stage for his final performance.
Dolores was officially laid to rest in her native Ireland a couple days after a public reposal was held for her. She was 46 years old.
As for the Bad Wolves cover ... the band released their version in Dolores' honor about a month after she passed, donating the proceeds of the song to her three children. ||||| Friends of The Cranberries singer Dolores O’Riordan are shocked by her sudden death, including those who were in contact with her just recently.
In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, O’Riordan’s longtime friend and Eleven Seven International Managing Director Dan Waite revealed the 46-year-old Irish musician had left a voicemail on his phone hours before she died.
“Dolores left me a voice message just after midnight last night stating how much she loved Bad Wolves’ version of ‘Zombie.’ She was looking forward to seeing me in the studio and recording vocals,” Waite said of O’Riordan’s remix of The Cranberries’ 1994 hit single with the hard rock band, Bad Wolves.

“She sounded full of life, was joking and excited to see me and my wife this week. The news of her passing is devastating and my thoughts are with Don her ex-husband, her children, and her mother,” he added.
O’Riordan was scheduled to record her vocals in London on the day of her death.
Bad Wolves singer Tommy Vext released a statement on O’Riordan’s passing on Facebook Monday.
“We are shocked and saddened at the news of Dolores’s passing, mere hours before she was to record vocals on our upcoming version of Zombie. We have always had deep respect for her as an artist and a vocalist and she was never afraid to bare her soul in her music and lyrics,” Vext said.
“Zombie is an incredibly personal song and although we are a hard rock band, we always felt the rawness and honesty she projected on stage and in her recordings was something to which all bands should aspire to, regardless of genre. When we heard she liked our version and wanted to sing on it, it was the greatest compliment a new band, or any band for that matter, could have received,” he continued.
Concluding, “Our hearts are broken that we were not able to see this collaboration through and our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends, loved ones and fans in Ireland and around the globe. We hope we can still make her proud by sharing our version of Zombie with the world.”

Eleven Seven Music CEO Allen Kovac, who previously managed The Cranberries, also released a statement.
“From the very first time I met Dolores, I knew she was a great talent. Managing the Cranberries and being part of making ‘Zombie’ one of the biggest records of its time was a great professional honor,” he said. “So when Dan Waite called me suggesting a collaboration with Dolores and Bad Wolves’ on ‘Zombie,’ I was excited to once again be a part of the magic she was able to create. My heart goes out to her children, I hope they can find some peace despite this tragic event.”

The remaining members of The Cranberries also spoke out about their grief on Monday.
“We are devastated on the passing of our friend Dolores,” Fergal Lawler, Noel and Mike Hogan wrote in a joint statement on social media. “She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to have been part of her life from 1989 when we started the Cranberries. The world has lost a true artist today,” they added.
In July, the band thanked fans for their “outpouring of support” after they were forced to cancel most of their European summer tour because of O’Riordan’s “recovery from her ongoing back problem.”
“Her doctors have now instructed her to cancel her upcoming almost sold out tour of North America with the band,” they added, saying her recovery “has not been going as well as expected.” The musicians were scheduled to tour in the States from Sept. 11 through Oct. 6.

O’Riordan’s cause of death has not been announced.
“Police in Westminster are dealing with a sudden death. Officers were called at 9:05 a.m. on Monday 15th January to a hotel in Park Lane. A woman in her mid-40s was pronounced dead at the scene. At this early stage, the death is being treated as unexplained and inquiries continue,” police said in a statement to PEOPLE.
Just a little more than three weeks before her sudden death, O’Riordan assured her fans she was “feeling good” after canceling the band’s tour earlier in the year because of ongoing issues with her health.
“Hi All, Dolores here. Feeling good!” she wrote on the band’s Facebook account. “I did my first bit of gigging in months at the weekend, performed a few songs at the Billboard annual staff holiday party in New York with the house band. Really enjoyed it! Happy Christmas to all our fans!! Xo.”
O’Riordan is survived by her three children: son Taylor, 20, and daughters Molly, 16, and Dakota, 12.
Many celebrity fans of The Cranberries, including James Corden, Hozier and Duran Duran, expressed their condolences on social media. ||||| O'Riordan was visiting London for the recording session later that day where she would reprise her iconic vocals on the famous Cranberries track. She sounded excited to get into the studio when she left the message for Waite, who had set up the collaboration. |||||
A: | Shortly after the sudden death in January of Dolores O'Riordan, People reported on an old friend and label executive who said the 46-year-old Cranberries singer left a final voicemail for him the day she died in which she sounded "full of life" and "was joking." Now TMZ says it has the voicemail left for Dan Waite, and in that 40-second recording, O'Riordan sounds chipper and ready to get together with the group Bad Wolves later that day to record her part for their cover of the Cranberries song "Zombie," a collaboration set up by Waite. "I think it's f---ing awesome!," she gushes over the Bad Wolves version of her song. "It sounds f---ing terribly good," she adds, before signing off by sending love to "Irene." The New York Daily News notes that the time of the voicemail was just after 1am London time on Jan. 15; O'Riordan was found dead in her hotel room shortly after 9am that same morning. No official cause of death has yet been released, though O'Riordan was said to have suffered from depression. Bad Wolves released their cover, without the vocals O'Riordan was going to record, after her death, with all proceeds going to her three kids. |

Problem:When American 11 struck the World Trade Center at 8:46, no one in the White House or traveling with the President knew that it had been hijacked. While that information circulated within the FAA, we found no evidence that the hijacking was reported to any other agency in Washington before 8:46. Most federal agencies learned about the crash in New York from CNN. Within the FAA, the administrator, Jane Garvey, and her acting deputy, Monte Belger, had not been told of a confirmed hijacking before they learned from television that a plane had crashed. Others in the agency were aware of it, as we explained earlier in this chapter. Inside the National Military Command Center, the deputy director of operations and his assistant began notifying senior Pentagon officials of the incident. At about 9:00, the senior NMCC operations officer reached out to the FAA operations center for information. Although the NMCC was advised of the hijacking of American 11, the scrambling of jets was not discussed. In Sarasota, Florida, the presidential motorcade was arriving at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School, where President Bush was to read to a class and talk about education. White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card told us he was standing with the President outside the classroom when Senior Advisor to the President Karl Rove first informed them that a small, twin-engine plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. The President's reaction was that the incident must have been caused by pilot error. At 8:55, before entering the classroom, the President spoke to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, who was at the White House. She recalled first telling the President it was a twin-engine aircraft-and then a commercial aircraft-that had struck the World Trade Center, adding "that's all we know right now, Mr. President." At the White House, Vice President Dick Cheney had just sat down for a meeting when his assistant told him to turn on his television because a plane had struck the NorthTower of the World Trade Center. The Vice President was wondering "How the hell could a plane hit the World Trade Center" when he saw the second aircraft strike the South Tower. Elsewhere in the White House, a series of 9:00 meetings was about to begin. In the absence of information that the crash was anything other than an accident, the White House staff monitored the news as they went ahead with their regular schedules. <sep>What does the acronym NMCC stand for?<sep>That the crash was terrorism
Solution: | No |

Problem:The Bush administration in its first months faced many problems other than terrorism. They included the collapse of the Middle East peace process and, in April, a crisis over a U.S." spy plane" brought down in Chinese territory. The new administration also focused heavily on Russia, a new nuclear strategy that allowed missile defenses, Europe, Mexico, and the Persian Gulf. In the spring, reporting on terrorism surged dramatically. In chapter 8, we will explore this reporting and the ways agencies responded. These increasingly alarming reports, briefed to the President and top officials, became part of the context in which the new administration weighed its options for policy on al Qaeda. Except for a few reports that the CSG considered and apparently judged to be unreliable, none of these pointed specifically to possible al Qaeda action inside the United States-although the CSG continued to be concerned about the domestic threat. The mosaic of threat intelligence came from the Counterterrorist Center, which collected only abroad. Its reports were not supplemented by reports from the FBI. Clarke had expressed concern about an al Qaeda presence in the United States, and he worried about an attack on the White House by "Hizbollah, Hamas, al Qida and other terrorist organizations." In May, President Bush announced that Vice President Cheney would himself lead an effort looking at preparations for managing a possible attack by weapons of mass destruction and at more general problems of national preparedness. The next few months were mainly spent organizing the effort and bringing an admiral from the Sixth Fleet back to Washington to manage it. The Vice President's task force was just getting under way when the 9/11 attack occurred. <sep>What other countries did the Bush administration have to deal with other than al Qaeda?<sep>Mexico

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Who capitalized on house music?, Context: In the late 1980s, many local Chicago house music artists suddenly found themselves presented with major label deals. House music proved to be a commercially successful genre and a more mainstream pop-based variation grew increasingly popular. Artists and groups such as Madonna, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Aretha Franklin, Bananarama, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Steps, Kylie Minogue, Bjork, and C+C Music Factoryhave all incorporated the genre into some of their work. After enjoying significant success in the early to mid-90s, house music grew even larger during the second wave of progressive house (1999–2001). The genre has remained popular and fused into other popular subgenres, for example, G-house, Deep House, Tech House and Bass House. As of 2015, house music remains extremely popular in both clubs and in the mainstream pop scene while retaining a foothold on underground scenes across the globe.[citation needed]

How to hold in your poop in embarrassing situations
Try standing up to keep in your poop (or, alternatively, lying down).
The worst possible position to be in if you are trying to hold your poop is to squat. Sitting isn't as good for holding your poop in as standing or lying down is, either.
OPTIONS:
- However, being in the right position, and sitting correctly, and experiencing vomiting or diarrhea at the same time, may make you a more complex candidate to hold. Squeeze your rectum with your whole body.
- The reason for this is because squatting has long been defined by researchers as the ideal position for defecation. That's because it applies pressure on the abdomen, encouraging release of the stool.
- There are many dangerous ways to hold your poop in this position : Do not wear a pair of socks. This can cause contamination, even after your period.
- Squatting is the standard position, meaning you're sitting in that spot or in an inverted position. It's sometimes recommended that both of your feet be on the ground, but almost always places your phone on the ground.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s wedding rehearsal at Versailles was predictably lavish – with women dressed in Marie Antoinette costumes, a performance from Lana Del Rey and tricks performed by David Blaine.
Sources inside Friday’s party said guests at the party at the French royal chateau included the entire Kardashian clan, designer Valentino Garavani, LaLa Anthony, and Serena Williams – but noticeably absent were Beyonce and Jay Z, who is expected to be the best man at the ceremony today in Florence.
A source said, “A lot of the talk was how much they paid to be allowed to use Versailles, even though they couldn’t marry there because French law has a residency requirement.”
Guests at Versailles were chauffeured in a fleet of Mercedes Benz limos and treated to endless Champagne and caviar. Inside, they were entertained by a performance by Lana Del Rey, while Blaine roamed around doing magic tricks, and women dressed as Marie Antoinette. Let them eat cake indeed.
Others there included Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary, movie producer Joel Silver, fashion entrepreneur Renzo Russo, Kim’s close friend Brittny Gastineau and producer Rick Rubin.
This morning, the guests were flown to Florence, Italy on two private jets – where the actual wedding will take place today – and were told their phones would be taken away from them before the big event.
A source said the celebrations in the two European cities were because, “They fell in love in Paris and their daughter was conceived in Florence. Kanye planned every single detail.” ||||| Here is the moment that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West exchanged their vows in front of hundreds of guests in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy.
The picture, obtained by Radaronline.com, shows the lace cutout back of Kim’s Givenchy Haute Couture dress, designed by Riccardo Tisci, a close friend of the couple.
She is seen standing with West, in a tuxedo also designed by Tisci, before a pastor and guests at the 16th century Forte di Belvedere.
Despite the obvious absence of rumored best man Jay Z and wife Beyonce, the couple looked blissfully happy, we’re told.
They were serenaded during the wedding by opera star Andrea Bocelli and John Legend performed his song “All Of Me” for their first dance.
Guests included the entire Kardashian clan, except Rob Kardashian, who strangely skipped the wedding after flying to Italy.
Bruce Jenner walked Kim down the aisle, while mom Kris Jenner carried Kim and Kanye’s daughter North West.
Other friends there included LaLa Anthony, Brittny Gastineau, Scottie Pippen, jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, Jonathan Cheban and Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen.
The wedding took place at 6 p.m. local time on Saturday after guests were flown in from Paris on two private jets, following a party at Versailles with a performance by Lana Del Rey.
Groom West was said to have carefully planned every detail of the wedding, which included a wall of flowers at the altar, similar to the one he’d presented his bride earlier this month for Mother’s Day.
Kim changed out of her gown into a cocktail dress for the reception, which included a photo booth where guests including her sisters Kylie and Kendall posed for photos.
And according to reports, Kanye gave a 15-minute speech where he called the Kardashian family “the most remarkable people of our time,” adding that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Kim. ||||| The New York Post clearly is not a fan of Kimye.
The publication marked the wedding of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian with a news story short on words and long on snark. "Two jackasses got married in Italy Saturday," the Post's story begins, before describing Kardashian as a "sex-tape star" and West as an "egotist."
See also: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian Are Married
This isn't the first time the Post has thrown shade on Kim and Kanye's nuptials. Earlier this week, it published "a brutally honest toast to Kimye."
"You guys have everything a couple needs to keep a marriage strong. You have love and class and talent, and above all, high name recognition among the coveted 18-24 demographic," the newspaper wrote in that article. "So let’s all raise a glass of champagne — and Kanye, Biebs wanted you to have this sizzurp — to Mr. and Mrs. West. May the TV writers never pen you out of each other’s lives!" ||||| Kim Kardashian isn’t waiting for her wedding to get the party started.
The reality star, 33, hit Paris with her sisters and girlfriends for her bachelorette party on Thursday, reports Us Weekly.
Wearing a $20,000 bejeweled Balmain dress, Kardashian was joined by sisters Khloe Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, along with a group of long-time friends including La La Anthony, Rachel Roy and Brittny Gastineau.
The hen night started with champagne in Kardashian’s room at the Four Seasons Hotel George V. From there the group headed to Hotel Costes for dinner, before hopping into a party van to take in as many of the French capital’s sights as they could in one night.
According to the magazine’s sources, Kardashian looked “happy” and appeared to be “having a great time.”
Whether she was having a blast or not, she took time to thank the group for coming out, posting a picture of the party at dinner to Instagram.
“I’m so lucky! I have the best friends in the whole wide world! #ParisNights #LastSupper,” she wrote alongside the snap.
After months of anticipation, Kardashian and fiancé Kanye West will finally tie the knot in a castle in Florence on Saturday. ||||| Kim and Kanye, thank you so much for including me in your most special — and hopefully most highly Nielsen-rated — day.
It’s been so incredible. Dinner in Paris, a ceremony at an Italian castle, a multimillion-dollar budget. Wow! But it’s a bittersweet day, for sure. On one hand, we’re delighted for this happy couple. On the other hand, for all those fathers out there trying to instruct their daughters that nothing but ruin and humiliation will come from making porn — well, good luck explaining this.
Holy crap! Two thousand specially trained white doves just spelled out “Kim” in the heavens.
This has been such a beautiful wedding, and so unique. It’s definitely the first wedding I’ve ever been to with a merch table.
I picked up a Kimye T-shirt and six grains of rice to throw, each covered in 294 Swarovski crystals at a cost of $9,100 each. I’m told some of the proceeds go to Scott Disick, so in the eyes of the IRS, it counts as a charitable deduction.
It’s been so much fun spending this weekend with you and your guests. The list reportedly once included some 1,600 of your nearest and dearest — a full third of whom hadn’t dated or been married to Kim before.
But Kim, in truth, it’s so lovely to see that you’re still close with your exes, and that you’re a big enough person to include them in your wedding. Kris Humphries will be by with a drinks tray any minute now.
Remember Kris? Kim, you were married to him for 72 days, and I’m sure a lot of people are ribbing you about that. But, hey, at least you didn’t end up with Lamar Odom.
Sorry, the producers of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” are stopping me here. They’d like to reshoot that last joke. It didn’t quite work. Hang on. I’m being handed a script.
OK, action!
Remember Kris? Kim, you were married to him for 72 days, and I’m sure a lot of people are ribbing you about that. But this marriage should last much longer. I hear it has a five-episode commitment.
Close friends Beyoncé and Jay Z were apparently on the fence about coming because they were a bit squeamish about appearing on Kim’s reality show. They prefer to appear on-camera in elevators.
And the food here has been really amazing. Kanye, you weren’t lying when you screamed at everyone who would listen that these were the “best crudités of all time. Of all time.” I can’t disagree. Tasty.
It’s been really great getting to meet both of your families. Congratulations to Bruce Jenner for catching the bouquet. You’re next, girl!
And per Page 42, section iii of her contract, Khloe is here. So is Kourtney, who also negotiated an executive producer credit. So is the youngest Kardashian, 16-year-old Kylie Jenner. I know the family is grateful that she didn’t let her rigorous academic commitments get in the way of attending this wedding.
You guys have everything a couple needs to keep a marriage strong. You have love and class and talent and, above all, high name recognition among the coveted 18-24 demographic.
Kardashian klan matriarch Kris Jenner is also here, and she wants to assure everyone that she would have cried rivers when Kim was walking down the aisle had her tear ducts not been Botoxed into oblivion.
That ceremony was moving, and I personally loved how Kim took the time to tweet during the exchange of vows. I don’t understand the people who are criticizing her. How else was she supposed to pass the time while Kanye set up the Auto-Tune?
Also, can I just say how great everyone looks, especially the bride and groom? Kanye, I’ve never seen a sweatpants tuxedo before, but you really pull it off. I’m sure it’s going to be a big seller for your A.P.C. fashion line.
And Kim, three outfit changes for one occasion! They look amazing — or at least the backs of them do. I’m sure one of these days you’ll get around to letting the paparazzi and everyone else gathered here see you from another angle.
You guys have everything a couple needs to keep a marriage strong. You have love and class and talent and, above all, high name recognition among the coveted 18-24 demographic.
So let’s all raise a glass of champagne — and Kanye, Biebs wanted you to have this sizzurp — to Mr. and Mrs. West. May the TV writers never pen you out of each other’s lives! ||||| | It's safe to say the New York Post is not a fan of America's favorite newlyweds. The paper gave Kim Kardashian and Kanye West what Mashable calls the "world's worst wedding announcement" in its print edition. The piece, which is attributed only to "Post Wire Services," begins thusly: "Two jackasses got married in Italy Saturday. Sex-tape star Kim Kardashian, 33, wed egotist Kanye West, 36, in a wedding opulent enough for Florence's Medici dynasty and tacky enough for reality TV." After another brief paragraph, it concludes, "The republic still stands." But the snarky, disaffected tone belies just how exhaustive the Post's coverage of the wedding has been. A quick search of the paper's site reveals at least 17 pieces related to the wedding, including a look inside the rehearsal, the bachelorette party, and the ceremony itself—along with an equally snarky "toast" to the couple. |

HOUSTON (AP) — A gunman and at least one other person were killed Sunday, authorities said, as many shots were fired in a Houston neighborhood where police had urged people to remain in their homes.
Police spokesman John Cannon says there were two armed suspects involved, one of whom was killed and one who was wounded and taken to a hospital. Acting Police Chief Martha Montalvo said police believe one suspect was shot by the other and the second was shot by a SWAT officer.
Cannon says the second person killed was found inside a vehicle, though the circumstances were not immediately available. Montalvo said two officers and three citizens were also shot, and a police helicopter was shot at with a "high-powered" weapon.
She said police were working to piece together what had spurred the shootings.
At least two drivers told KHOU their vehicles were shot at, and a police SUV could be seen with a shattered windshield and the back window broken out.
Stephen Dittoe, 55, lives in the house right behind the shooting scene, separated by a fence and tall shrubbery at the end of cul-de-sac. He said when he first heard the noise Sunday he thought it was a transformer. His wife, Ha, 41, said it went on too long for that and described the series of staccato sounds.
She took their two children into the bathroom, told them to eat breakfast in there, and called 911. She said police came to the door about two hours later and asked if anyone in the house was being held captive, and if they could walk around the backyard.
The streets were still blocked off late Sunday afternoon with many police cars and fire trucks on the scene. ||||| Two people died and six people were injured in a shooting Sunday in west Houston, according to the Houston Police Department. (Photo: KHOU)
HOUSTON - Two people are dead and six others were injured in a shooting in west Houston Sunday, according to the Houston Police Department.
The motive behind the shooting is unknown at this time.
One of the deceased is a suspect who was shot by a SWAT officer. The other is a citizen who was shot and killed inside a vehicle, police said.
According to authorities, the civilian was in his 50s and was a customer at an auto detail shop where the suspect shot him with a pistol. Police say the suspect was also armed with an AR-15 that was used to shoot at officers.

Input: Images that appear to show Beijing's prototype stealth fighter jet during a 'taxi test' at a facility in western China.
BEIJING—The first clear pictures of what appears to be a Chinese stealth fighter prototype have been published online, highlighting China's military buildup just days before U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates heads to Beijing to try to repair defense ties.
The photographs, published on several unofficial Chinese and foreign defense-related websites, appear to show a J-20 prototype making a high-speed taxi test—usually one of the last steps before an aircraft makes its first flight—according to experts on aviation and China's military.
WSJ's Rebecca Blumenstein explains to Simon Constable new photos indicate the possibility that the Chinese military has developed a new stealth fighter jet, confirming fears of a military buildup.
The exact origin of the photographs is unclear, although they appear to have been taken by Chinese enthusiasts from the grounds of or around the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute in western China, where the J-20 is in development. A few experts have suggested that the pictured aircraft is a mock-up, rather than a functioning prototype of a stealth fighter—so-called because it is designed to evade detection by radar and infrared sensors.
But many more experts say they believe the pictures and the aircraft are authentic, giving the strongest indication yet that Beijing is making faster-than-expected progress in developing a rival to the U.S. F-22—the world's only fully operational stealth fighter.
China's defense ministry and air force couldn't be reached to comment on the latest photos. Even without official confirmation, however, the photographs are likely to bolster concerns among U.S. officials and politicians about China's military modernization, which also includes the imminent deployment of its first aircraft carrier and "carrier-killer" antiship ballistic missiles.
Global View Columnist Bret Stephens analyzes the stealth fighter and China's growing firepower.
Such weapons systems would significantly enhance China's ability to hinder U.S. intervention in a conflict over Taiwan, and challenge U.S. naval supremacy in the Asia-Pacific region.
Gen. He Weirong, deputy head of China's Air Force, announced in 2009 that China's first stealth fighters were about to undergo test flights and would be deployed in "eight or 10 years." But there was no clear physical evidence of their existence until the latest photographs emerged.
Chinese authorities who monitor Internet traffic in the country appear not to have tried to block the J-20 pictures.
"The photos I've seen look genuine," said Gareth Jennings, aviation desk editor at Jane's Defence Weekly.
"It's pretty far down the line," he said. "The fact that its nose wheel is off the ground in one picture suggest this was a high-speed taxi test—that usually means a test flight very soon afterwards. All the talk we've heard is that this could happen some time in the next few weeks."
U.S. officials played down Chinese advances on the plane, which American intelligence agencies believe will likely be operational around 2018. "We are aware that the Chinese have recently been conducting taxi tests and there are photos of it," said Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan. "We know they are working on a fifth-generation fighter but progress appears to be uneven."
Col. Lapan said it appears the Chinese are still seeking engines for a fourth-generation fighter from Russia, an indication that they are "still encountering problems" with development work toward the fifth-generation aircraft, the J-20.
But the 2018 estimate suggests U.S. officials believe China's development of the fifth-generation fighter has accelerated. In 2009, Mr. Gates predicted that China wouldn't deploy a fifth-generation fighter until 2020. U.S. officials said the latest disclosures wouldn't affect any U.S. aircraft-development programs.
China has made rapid progress in developing a capability to produce advanced weapons, also including unmanned aerial vehicles, after decades of importing and reverse engineering Russian arms. The photographs throw a fresh spotlight on the sensitive issue of China's military modernization just as Washington and Beijing try to improve relations following a series of public disputes in 2010.

U.S. sends aircraft carrier to joint military exercises with South Korea December: U.S. again expresses support for Liu Xiaobo ahead of Nobel ceremony. U.S. moves two more aircraft carriers to the region
Defense Secretary Gates is due to begin a long-delayed visit to Beijing on Sunday—almost exactly a year after China suspended military ties in protest over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
China's President Hu Jintao is then due to begin a state visit to the U.S. on Jan. 19. President Barack Obama joined in preparatory talks at the White House on Tuesday between his national security adviser, Tom Donilon, and Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi. During the meeting, Mr. Obama said he was committed to building a bilateral relationship that is "cooperative in nature," the White House said.
The two countries clashed last year over issues including the value of the Chinese currency, China's territorial claims in the South China Sea and vocal U.S. support for a jailed Chinese dissident who won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The U.S. was also frustrated by China's refusal to condemn two North Korean attacks on South Korea, while Beijing was angered by a U.S. decision to respond to the second attack, the shelling of a South Korean island in November, by sending an aircraft carrier to take part in joint naval exercises with Seoul near China's coast.
The U.S. and its Asian allies have also been alarmed by China's naval maneuvers and more forceful stance on territorial issues, while China's military strategists have accused the U.S. of trying to "contain" China—most recently by sending two more aircraft carriers to the region in December.
"The U.S. wants to retain its global hegemony and also preserve its regional interests. It is not comfortable with China's military rise," Senior Col. Han Xudong, a professor at China's National Defense University, was quoted as saying in the Global Times newspaper Tuesday.
Experts who said they thought the photographs were authentic included Andrei Chang of the Canadian-based Kanwa Asian Defence Monthly, and Richard Fisher, an expert on the Chinese military at the International Strategy and Assessment Center in Washington.
Several experts said the prototype's body appeared to borrow from the F-22 and other U.S. stealth aircraft, but they couldn't tell from the photographs how advanced it was in terms of avionics, composite materials or other key aspects of stealth technology.
They said that China was probably several years behind Russia, whose first stealth fighter, the Sukhoi T-50, made its first flight in January 2010, but that Beijing was catching up faster than expected.
The U.S. cut funding for the F-22 in 2009 in favor of the F-35, a smaller, cheaper stealth fighter that made its first test flight in 2006 and is expected to be fully deployed by around 2014. The F-22 has mainly been used for exercises and operations around U.S. airspace, but some have been deployed to Guam and Okinawa to help maintain the U.S. security umbrella in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Chinese prototype looks like it has "the potential to be a competitor with the F-22 and to be decisively superior to the F-35," said Mr. Fisher. The J-20 has two engines, like the F-22, and is about the same size, while the F-35 is smaller and has only one engine.
China's stealth-fighter program has implications also for Japan, which is considering buying F-35s, and for India, which last month firmed up a deal with Russia to jointly develop and manufacture a stealth fighter.

It still has to be tested in the air, but observers think that that could happen soon -- maybe even Thursday. Pictures allegedly showing the J-20 were apparently leaked to some Chinese media this week, either by authorities or by people who sneaked in to see the plane. But it hardly seems like a coincidence that this news comes just ahead of U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates ' visit to Beijing, scheduled to begin Sunday.This is just the first J-20, and it could be a long time before they work the kinks out and others are made, skeptics say . Some even think that the plane shown in the pictures is just a mock-up. It could be 2018 or even later before the plane is ready to be deployed.From the pictures, it looks like the J-20 may be larger than the U.S. stealth planes.

Output: | The first clear photos of what appears to be a Chinese stealth fighter prototype have hit the Internet—and they're sparking concerns that China’s military modernization is happening faster than previously thought. The pictures, which many experts believe are authentic, appear to show a J-20 prototype performing a high-sped taxi test, which likely means the aircraft’s first flight will happen as soon as the next few weeks, the Wall Street Journal reports. The prototype appears to have "the potential to be a competitor with the F-22 and to be decisively superior to the F-35," the United States’ two stealth fighters, says an expert. If the pictures are authentic, it would mean China is close to developing an F-22 rival—that jet is currently the only fully operational stealth fighter in the world. Along with other new military equipment, including its first aircraft carrier as well as “carrier-killer” missiles, the J-20 could give China the ability to challenge the US Navy in the Asia-Pacific region. US officials downplayed the photos, however, claiming there is evidence the Chinese are still having development problems. American intelligence agencies reportedly place the J-20’s operational date around 2018, two years earlier than Robert Gates predicted in 2009. Click for more details about the J-20. |

WASHINGTON (AP) — An associate of longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone said Monday that he expects to face charges in the special counsel's Russia investigation.
Conservative conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi said on his YouTube show that negotiations fell apart with special counsel Robert Mueller's team and he expects in the coming days to be charged with making false statements.
"I'm going to be indicted," Corsi said on his show. "That's what we were told. Everyone should know that, and I'm anticipating it."
The Associated Press couldn't immediately confirm Corsi's claims that charges against him are forthcoming. Corsi's attorney, David Gray, declined to comment Monday evening. A spokesman for the special counsel's office also declined to comment.
Corsi is one of several Stone associates who have been questioned by investigators as Mueller probes Stone's connections with WikiLeaks. American intelligence agencies have concluded that Russian agents were the source of hacked material released by WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign, including emails belonging to former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. And Mueller's office is trying to determine whether Stone and other associates of President Donald Trump had advance knowledge of WikiLeaks' plans.
Corsi, the former Washington bureau chief of the conspiracy theory outlet InfoWars, said Monday that he had no recollection of ever meeting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
"To the best of my recollection, what I knew in advance about what Julian Assange was going to do in terms of having the Podesta emails, I figured out," he said.
Corsi said Monday that he has been cooperating with the Mueller investigation since receiving a subpoena in late August. He said he gave investigators two computers, a cell phone and access to his email accounts and tweets.
But he said talks with investigators recently had "blown up."
"I fully anticipate that in the next few days, I will be indicted by Mueller," he said, as he made a pitch for donations to his legal defense fund.
Stone, who has also said he expects to be indicted, has denied being a conduit for WikiLeaks, which published thousands of emails stolen from Podesta in the weeks before the election.
In a telephone interview with the AP last month, Stone said: "I had no advanced notice of the source or content or the exact timing of the release of the WikiLeaks disclosures." ||||| Jerome Corsi said he's raising money for his legal defense. | AP Photo Legal Roger Stone ally expecting Mueller indictment Jerome Corsi, a longtime Stone associate and conspiracy theorist, said Mueller snared him in a 'perjury trap.'
Jerome Corsi, an ally of longtime Donald Trump associate Roger Stone, said Monday that he expected to be indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller for perjury.
Corsi, a conspiracy theorist who has been meeting with Mueller‘s team for two months, said that he spoke to prosecutors for around 40 hours but that talks had “all blown up.“
Story Continued Below
“I‘m going to be indicted,“ he said in a livestreamed video. “I anticipate being indicted.“
Reports have suggested that Mueller‘s interest in Corsi stems from a review of communications between him and Stone in 2016 about an impending release of Clinton campaign emails by WikiLeaks, the transparency activist organization. Mueller is investigating whether any Americans had advance knowledge of the email dump, which dominated the final weeks of the campaign.
Corsi called the impending indictment the result of a “perjury trap,“ though he emphasized that he wasn‘t totally sure what the indictment might be for. Corsi‘s attorney declined to comment.
Corsi also repeatedly emphasized his continued support for Trump‘s presidency and urged backers to send him money for his legal defense.
“I think my crime, really, is supporting Donald Trump,“ he said, in between long rants about voter fraud and suggesting that Democrats intend to overthrow Trump.
Corsi said prosecutors showed up at his house on Aug. 28, just before his 72nd birthday, and presented a subpoena. He said he didn‘t talk to them at the time. But later, with his lawyer present, Corsi said, he met multiple times with Mueller‘s team in Washington. He recalled prosecutors Jeannie Rhee, Aaron Zelinsky and Andrew Goldstein being present.
Corsi also said he was raising money for his legal defense.
His hourlong remarks meandered among various conspiracy theories, suggesting “criminals“ were running the Justice Department and that Democrats were seeking to “overthrow“ Trump.
“In prison, if I‘m allowed to write, maybe I‘ll do some fiction about this,“ he said.
Corsi gained notoriety as the author of a book questioning John Kerry‘s military service during the 2004 presidential campaign. He also fomented birtherism, a conspiracy theory that Trump ultimately championed as well. Trump once retweeted a Corsi article claiming baselessly that Obama‘s administration fabricated jobs numbers.
According to an ABC report last month, Corsi was scheduled to appear before the Mueller grand jury on Nov. 2. But reporters at the Washington courthouse that day did not see him enter or leave the building.
During a webcast last Monday, Corsi said he’d been involved “in a really constant basis” with the Mueller investigation for about two months.
“It’d been one of the biggest pushes of my life,” he said on the show . Beyond that, Corsi said, he couldn’t talk about the special counsel inquiry.
“There will come a time when I can and will talk about it,” he said, “but right now I’m going to continue to follow my lawyer’s advice and be in a ‘no comment‘ mode.” |||||

How to grow rosemary
Get a rosemary cutting.
Rosemary is easiest to grow from a cutting, rather than planting seeds. Visit a community garden and ask for a cutting, or ask a friend for a cutting of their plant.
OPTIONS:
- It is a good idea to plant the radishes first, so you can help spread the seeds and keep them growing. Fill a 2-1/2 cup pot with water.
- After you find a rosemary plant, clip off a few 4 inch pieces to propagate. The best time to do this is in the late spring, but if you live in a warmer climate, this can be done during early autumn as well.
- Look for a neighborhood garden, or a cluster of smaller groups of plants in rural areas. Cut off dead or diseased growth at the soil.
- Even if you buy a cutting from a rose nursery, you may still want to start the cutting before winter arrives. You can buy the cutting in the fall before the frost, and cut it at the lower frost point in the spring to plant at the lowest possible time for growth.

Mechanical energy is a combination of the energy of motion or position. This type of energy describes objects that are moving or could move. A moving ball can have energy from motion. An arrow can also have the energy of motion. Both are types of mechanical energy. Can you think of some other examples? Where does the energy of motion come from? It comes from the energy created by position. This energy is stored energy. This means it is not moving yet, but it has the potential to move. How can you store energy? The arrow gains energy from the drawn bow. As the arrow is released, the bow releases its stored energy and puts the arrow into motion. Can you think of some other ways to store energy using position? <sep>What kind of energy is created by position?<sep>Mechanical energy

The judge leaned back in his chair and beckoned to Mr. Andrews. It was finished. Spear was free, and from different parts of the courtroom people were moving toward the door. Their numbers showed that the friends of the young man had been many. Mr. Thorndike felt a certain twinge of disappointment. Even though the result relieved and pleased him, he wished, in bringing it about, he had had some part. He begrudged to Isaacs & Sons the credit of having given Spear his liberty. His morning had been wasted. He had neglected his own interests, and in no way assisted those of Spear. He was moving out of the railed enclosure when Andrews called him by name. "His honor," he said impressively, "wishes to speak to you." The judge leaned over his desk and shook Mr. Thorndike by the hand. Then he made a speech. The speech was about public-spirited citizens who, to the neglect of their own interests, came to assist the ends of justice, and fellow-creatures in misfortune. He purposely spoke in a loud voice, and every one stopped to listen. "The law, Mr. Thorndike, is not vindictive," he said. "It wishes only to be just. Nor can it be swayed by wealth or political or social influences. But when there is good in a man, I, personally, want to know it, and when gentlemen like yourself, of your standing in this city, come here to speak a good word for a man, we would stultify the purpose of justice if we did not listen. I thank you for coming, and I wish more of our citizens were as unselfish and public-spirited." It was all quite absurd and most embarrassing, but inwardly Mr. Thorndike glowed with pleasure. It was a long time since any one had had the audacity to tell him he had done well. <sep>Who did Mr. Thorndike want to help?<sep>Himself

The inhabited history of the Las Vegas Valley stretches to 23,000 b.c. , when much of the area was covered by a prehistoric lake. During this period, the indigenous people lived in caves, hunting the mammals that gathered at the shoreline. The landscape of the valley changed dramatically over the next 200 centuries. The glaciers feeding the lake melted away and the lake evaporated. Fossils tell an obscure story of man's slow and sporadic development. Around 3000 b.c. , native Archaic Indians began to develop a lasting hunting and gathering culture. By this time, the valley was in much the same geographic state as it exists in today, with one exception — the presence of artesian springs that bubbled to the surface in several areas. These springs fed a network of streams draining through the Las Vegas Wash to the Colorado River. The areas surrounding the springs were desert oases: sprawling collections of grasses, trees, and wildlife. Many springs lay in areas that would eventually become the center of the modern Las Vegas metropolis. For about 4000 years, the Archaics thrived in a culture that included many signs of early civilization. Signs of even more advancement appeared halfway through the first millennium a.d. , when the Anasazi Indians inhabited the valley. Far more progressive than the Archaics, the Anasazi utilized such formal agricultural techniques as irrigation to assist their harvest. This permitted the Anasazi to achieve a benchmark of advanced society — the ability to live in permanent shelters year-round without need to follow wildlife. Mysteriously, the Anasazi vanished from the valley around a.d. <sep>During what time period did the Anasazi Indians inhabit the Las Vegas valley?<sep>150 b.c

Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Example: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Output: Russian Revolution
This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
New input case for you: What could improve if more people went to school?, Context: In 2014, economists with the Standard & Poor's rating agency concluded that the widening disparity between the U.S.'s wealthiest citizens and the rest of the nation had slowed its recovery from the 2008-2009 recession and made it more prone to boom-and-bust cycles. To partially remedy the wealth gap and the resulting slow growth, S&P recommended increasing access to education. It estimated that if the average United States worker had completed just one more year of school, it would add an additional $105 billion in growth to the country's economy over five years.
Output: | the country's economy |

On a day when Brian Grazer, Michael DeLuca, Mark Johnson, Cean Chaffin and others discussed passion projects, "Battleship" director Peter Berg says his "underperforming" film was too big and impersonal
"Battleship," the high-concept but underperforming action film released by Universal earlier this year, made a surprise appearance in discussions about risky movies and passion projects at the Produced By Conference on Sunday morning.
Peter Berg, the director of that film, was taking part in a discussion entitled "Passion Projects: Making Films Everyone Says Will Never Get Made" when he addressed the elephant in the room: that his last film, based on the board game, was the kind of movie generally seen as the antithesis of a passion project.
"I have a movie in theaters right now which has obviously underperformed in many ways," he said. "When [a movie] doesn't work, it's an … interesting opportunity to look at what went wrong and how it went wrong."

With "Battleship," he said, the scale of the movie simply overwhelmed everything else. "It was a movie that I tried as hard as I could to get inside of. But the concept is so big and powerful, and the money is so big and so powerful, that the movie is going to run away with itself."
In the end, he said, he failed to find a personal connection that would make him passionate about the movie. "I want to get inside the movie's world and feel like I know it better than anyone, and I couldn't do that … It was an interesting eye-opener."
His comments about "Battleship" came on a morning when a couple of the biggest panels at the Producers Guild's Produced By Conference dealt with the problems of getting risky movies made in an increasingly conservative studio system.

Grazer shared his story about launching "Splash" in the face of a competing mermaid movie that would have starred Warren Beatty and Jessica Lange, and about reviving "American Gangster," which Universal killed after already spending $28 million.
The studio told him to never mention the words "American Gangster" again, he said – but he ignored them and immediately repackaged the Denzel Washington film with a new director, Ridley Scott, and co-star, Russell Crowe, in place of original players Antoine Fuqua and Benicio del Toro.

Grazer and Berg also talked about their experiences together making "Friday Night Lights," and about the night Berg tried to get the studio excited about making the film by flying a batch of executives to Odessa, Texas for a Friday night high-school football game.
None of them wanted to go, he said – but they reluctantly agreed while stipulating that they'd leave at halftime. Instead, they stayed until the end and fell in love with the world of high-school football. Then, on the way home, the engines failed and the power went out on their airplane.
"I was like, 'Fuck!'" said Berg. "I knew I had the green light, and instead we were going to crash." But the power came back on, they made it home "and by the time we got off that plane, we had had the communal experience that ignited the particular passion necessary to get that movie made."
Earlier on the same soundstage on the Sony lot, another group of producers spent an hour talking about their own passion projects, and about the future of film production in an era where, as moderator Michael Shamberg pointed out, the annual chart of top-grossers is dominated by sequels and nearly 70 percent of box-office revenue comes from international.
"The audience is causing the change," said Ceán Chaffin, director David Fincher's producing partner. "The audience that we want [for serious dramas] is harder and harder to find."
"We have to be more inventive and resourceful than we ever had to in the past," added Mark Johnson, who began his career with "Diner" 30 years ago.
The session was titled "Game Changers: Where Movies Should Be Going," but most of the producers admitted that they don't really know where movies should be going – they just know that it's difficult to make quality films and difficult to find an audience.
"The most elusive thing is always good," said Doug Wick, producer of "Gladiator" and the upcoming Baz Luhrmann version of "The Great Gatsby." "Making something that turns out good is the hardest part."
The panel, which also included "Moneyball" producer Michael DeLuca, talked about dream projects that took years to get off the ground. For DeLuca, it was "Moneyball": "It took eight years," he said of the film, which would have died if Sony's Amy Pascal hadn't been a big supporter. "I've sworn off dream projects since then."
Johnson, though, admitted he has a dream project he's currently hoping to get off the ground: a script from "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan called "Two Face."
"I still think it's the best script I've ever come across," said Johnson, one of the producers on "Breaking Bad." "It's a comedy about racism, and it’s a very hard sell, but I'm convinced it's going to get made."
In a discussion of future projects, Chaffin said that she and Fincher (who was watching from the back of the soundstage) are considering a movie that would partially be shot in 3D.
"We think 3D should be applied very specifically," she said. "We're actually thinking of mixing 3D and 2D in one film."
Again and again, the conversation circled back to dealing with studios in an uncertain era in which even the old standbys are no longer safe bets. "If you just get a mediocre director and a superhero, it's not a particularly good equation for a studio anymore," said Wick.
And when a film doesn't work, the producers agreed that the results can be devastating. Johnson talked about going into a months-long depression after the commercial failure of Alfonso Cuaron's "A Little Princess," which he said was "the closest thing to a perfect movie I've ever made."
And Chaffin said she and Fincher were badly shaken by the commercial failure of "Fight Club," which Fox executives hated and which couldn't find its market until it was released on home video.
"'Fight Club' was devastating," Chaffin said. "All of us who worked on the film thought we had something great."
Throughout the session, Sony's Pascal received so much praise from the panelists that eventually Shamberg stepped in.
"Everybody here loves Amy," he said, "but we also like the others."
"All except one," said Chaffin, who declined to specify the one. ||||| And you thought "John Carter" was a bust. After four weeks of release, "Battleship" has grossed just $59.8 million in North America, nearly $7 million less than "John Carter" had earned after its fourth weekend earlier this year. That puts the Peter Berg film on the unfortunate track of grossing less domestically than the derided "Carter," an ignominy that director sees as a learning experience.
"I have a movie in theaters right now which has obviously underperformed in many ways," Berg said at the Produced By conference on Sunday. "When [a movie] doesn't work, it's an ... interesting opportunity to look at what went wrong and how it went wrong."
Produced By, which is hosted by the Producers Guild of America, is an event where some of the biggest players in Hollywood get together to discuss the temperature of the industry. Per TheWrap, Berg was speaking at a panel titled "Passion Projects: Making Films Everyone Says Will Never Get Made."
"It was a movie that I tried as hard as I could to get inside of," Berg said. "But the concept is so big and powerful, and the money is so big and so powerful, that the movie is going to run away with itself."
Berg, who called working on "Battleship" an "eye-opener," has a close connection to the film. HIs father was a naval historian and he made sure to use real military veterans in key roles.
"I wanted to do a Navy film and I'm thinking, right now, in our business, there are these huge movies that are getting made -- I wanted to make one of these big 'super movies,'" he told Moviefone earlier this year about his decision to direct "Battleship." "I thought, 'What if I create an adventure story around something as simple as 'Battleship'?'"
If only it ended up being that simple.
"Battleship," which is actually closing in on $300 million in total ticket sales worldwide despite indifference in America, is out in theaters now.

| It's not often that directors publicly admit that a movie was a mess, but that's what Peter Berg did yesterday at a Producers Guild conference. Speaking at a panel called "Passion Projects: Making Films Everyone Says Will Never Get Made," Berg took a moment to acknowledge Battleship's grisly box-office take. "I have a movie in theaters right now which has obviously underperformed in many ways," he said, according to the Wrap. "When [a movie] doesn't work it's … an interesting opportunity to look at what went wrong." Berg said he hadn't been able to make the movie personal enough. "It was a movie that I tried as hard as I could to get inside of. But the concept is so big and powerful, and the money is so big and so powerful, that the movie is going to run away with itself. … It was an interesting eye-opener." Battleship sunk badly at the box office, grossing just $59.8 million domestically—which, the Huffington Post points out, is $7 million less than John Carter. |

The true identity of Jack the Ripper may have finally been uncovered by a teacher - who claims it was the work of a renowned poet.
Richard Patterson has spent nearly 20 years investigating his case to prove that respected poet Francis Thompson was responsible for butchering five women in East London.
The 45-year-old claims that Thompson, from Preston, Lancs, not only wrote about killing people, but also had surgical experience and close links to at least one prostitute in the area where the grisly murders took place.
He said: "I'm grateful to have played some part in helping people understand Thompson, and why he might have been the Ripper .
"I'm excited that people are beginning to take the theory seriously, seeing Thompson and the crimes in a different light creates interesting possibilities."
(Image: Mercury Press)
Richard, from Australia, became convinced that Thompson was the killer when he read a book of his poetry as a student in 1997 and then discovered he had trained as a doctor too.
Now, after travelling the world searching for clues as to who the killer really was, Richard claims that evidence against Thompson is stronger than that of any previous suspects.
Richard, who is an English teacher at various schools in Byron Bay, New South Wales, said: "Thompson kept a dissecting knife under his coat, and he was taught a rare surgical procedure that was found in the mutilations of more than one of the Ripper victims.

"He helped with surgery and is known to have cut up heaps and heaps of cadavers while a student."
Thompson, originally from Lancashire, moved to London in 1885 with the hope of becoming a successful writer.
Already addicted to opium, the young poet lived rough in the city until a local prostitute is believed to have offered him a place to stay.

Their friendship is thought to have quickly turned into what was Thompson's only romantic relationship.
Richard believes that the mentally unstable poet snapped after she left him.
He is going to be publishing his findings in a book, Francis Thompson - a Ripper Suspect.
In it, he argues that the heartbroken writer started to take out his anger on other sex-workers in the area.
Richard said: "The moment he told her he was finally published, she said she was leaving him because the public would not understand their relationship.
"This was after Thompson's year long romance with the woman.
"Soon before and soon after the murders, he wrote about killing female prostitutes with knives."
The author's investigation has seen him visit Thompson's home town of Preston, and travel to the United States to view a collection of hand-written letters in Boston. |||||
A: | Did life imitate art in the case of Jack the Ripper? An Australian English teacher, who claims to have solved the 127-year-old mystery, certainly thinks so, the New York Daily News reports. Richard Patterson believes Jack the Ripper, who killed five London prostitutes over 10 weeks in 1888, was actually poet Francis Thompson. According to the Mirror, Patterson read a book of Thompson's poetry in 1997 and became convinced he was the legendary killer. He's spent the years since attempting to prove his theory. "Soon before and soon after the murders, he wrote about killing female prostitutes with knives," Patterson says. And the Daily News quotes a graphic short story by Thompson about a woman being stabbed to death. In addition to Thompson's grisly writings, Patterson points to his experience as a surgeon and his troubled relationship with a local prostitute, the Mirror reports. Patterson says Thompson kept a dissecting knife under his coat and knew a rare surgical procedure that was used to mutilate some of the victims. He also lived with a prostitute with whom he began a romantic relationship. When that relationship ended, Patterson says Thompson "snapped." "I'm excited that people are beginning to take the theory seriously," says Patterson, who is publishing it in a book. The Jack the Ripper case was eventually closed in 1892, and Thompson died 15 years later, according to the Christian Science Monitor. In the years since the slayings, scholars, amateur sleuths, and others have identified up to 100 suspects. (This Hollywood director thinks Jack the Ripper was actually a popular singer.) |

Microsoft's online video ads that mocked Apple's latest crop of iPhones have been yanked, following what appears to be a poor reception by viewers.
(Credit: CNET)
Microsoft has removed a series of online video advertisements that were critical of Apple's latest iPhones, after they were up for just a few hours.
The videos, which began with the title "A fly on the wall in Cupertino?" depicted fictional meetings supposedly taking place at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. They were posted from Microsoft's Windows Phone YouTube account, and at nearly two minutes were unlikely to be shown on TV.
The advertisements were ill-received, and even mocked, on numerous social networks. Some observers also suggested that similarities between one of the fictional executives -- seen only from behind -- and late Apple CEO Steve Jobs were in poor taste.
The campaign "was intended to be a lighthearted poke at our friends from Cupertino. But it was off the mark, and we've decided to pull it down," a Microsoft representative told CNET.
For those who missed it, here's a mirrored version of the main video:
Update, 1:30 p.m. PT: Adds fact that multiple videos were part of the campaign. Updated again at 2:20 p.m. PT with comment from Microsoft. ||||| This video is unavailable.
Sorry about that. |||||
Microsoft launched a series of online ads mocking Apple's new iPhones yesterday ... only to take them down a few hours later. The ads, titled "A fly on the wall in Cupertino?" featured send-ups of meetings between Apple staff and execs ("Remember the thing about how we were going to innovate the iPhone? ... What do you think when I say: new iPhone colors?" says one pretend staffer), but were mocked and derided on social media—particularly one ad that had someone impersonating the late Steve Jobs, reports CNET. A Microsoft rep admits the ad campaign was "off the mark." Although the videos have been taken off the Windows Phone YouTube account, nothing on the Internet is ever really gone, so here is a copy of one of the ads.
Chicago rapper Capo, a member of Chief Keef’s “Glo Gang,” was killed in a South Shore neighborhood shooting that resulted in a 1-year-old boy being fatally struck by a vehicle fleeing the gang-related attack Saturday afternoon.
The 22-year-old rapper, whose real name was Marvin Carr, was shot in the hip and back in a possible drive-by about 1:45 p.m. in the 7700 block of South Kingston, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Carr, of the 7300 block of South East End, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he died at 4:37 p.m., authorities said.
Soon after the shooting, a vehicle hit 1-year-old Dillan Harris in a stroller as he and his mother waited for a bus at 63rd and Ellis, according to family and authorities. The boy died at the University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital.
Two people were being questioned Sunday about the incidents, police said.
Ald. Willie Cochran (20th) said Sunday a person who saw the shooting followed the car that eventually crashed into the stroller.
“He followed the car and called 911 and lead police to it,” Cochran said. The alderman said the person was “connected to law enforcement” but wouldn’t elaborate.
The crash happened in Cochran’s ward.
“One of the disturbing things that has come to light is how people on the scene of the accident were saying that the police had no business chasing these guys and are blaming the police,” said Cochran, a former police officer. “But who do you chase if you don’t chase a murderer? . . . Rather than saying the gunman had no business going to shoot and kill somebody, they were saying the police had no business chasing them.”
Cochran said a vigil was being planned for Monday at the site of the crash to remember and pray for the infant.
Chicago Police would not comment about Cochran’s description of what happened, saying it is an ongoing investigation.
Renaldo Hess, Carr’s manager, said the rapper had recently returned from a recording session in Los Angeles.
“He was a good kid. The streets of Chicago is something,” Hess said. “He was murdered. I don’t understand what is going on with all these kids.”
Mario Hess, Chief Keef’s cousin and a member of his rap group who was known as “Big Glo,” was gunned down in West Englewood in April 2014.
Contributing: Mitch Dudek ||||| Chicago rapper Chief Keef plans to hold a concert Friday to memorialize the toddler who was struck and killed on Saturday by a car fleeing a shooting that left a friend of the rapper dead.
Chief Keef will be appearing at the Chicago concert via hologram from a soundstage in Beverly Hills, Calif. The concert will be free, but concertgoers will be encouraged to make donations, which will benefit the family of Dillan Harris, the 1-year-old boy who was killed when a car struck his stroller on the sidewalk in the 6300 block of South Ellis Avenue in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood.
Police said the car was driven by a suspect who a half-hour earlier was involved in the shooting of Marvin Carr, also known as Chicago rapper Capo. Chief Keef and Capo were associates, said a spokesman for FilmOn Networks, which recently signed Chief Keef to a two-album deal. Carr, 22, was shot in the 7700 block of South Kingston Avenue and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died, according to authorities.
The toddler was struck about 3 1/2 miles from where Carr was shot.
Chief Keef, who now lives in the Los Angeles area, "is just so heartbroken and appalled" by the deaths of the boy and his friend, the spokesman said, that he wanted to do something for the family and to address the "out-of-control situation."
But he cannot attend in person because of "outstanding warrants his legal team is addressing," the spokesman added.
Chief Keef, whose legal name is Keith Cozart, has an outstanding warrant in Cook County for nonpayment of child support. The warrant was issued in July of 2014 and the bond is $10,000 cash. It is enforceable in Illinois only.
Cozart also announced the formation of the Stop the Violence Now Foundation, which will aim to curb neighborhood crime.
A June 2014 Chief Keef concert scheduled for a Cicero theater was canceled because of security concerns. About the same time, Chief Keef was evicted from his rented Highland Park mansion because he was about $30,000 behind in rent payments.
In April 2014, another Chicago rapper related to Chief Keef was shot and killed. Chief Keef's recently released single "Ain't Missing You" is about the death in Englewood of his second cousin, Mario Hess, known as Big Glo and, before that, Blood Money.

Another bloody weekend in Chicago: Local rapper Capo was killed in a drive-by shooting Saturday afternoon by suspects who killed a baby with their vehicle as they made their getaway, police say. A police spokesman tells the New York Daily News that the two suspects, who are now in custody, ran down 13-month-old Dillan Harris in his stroller in front of his mother and two sisters. Witnesses say the people in the car kept going across a parking lot after their car jumped the sidewalk and killed the boy. Capo, whose real name was Marvin Carr, was an associate of LA-based rapper Chief Keef, who plans to appear via hologram at a concert on Friday to raise money for Dillan's family, the Chicago Tribune reports. A spokesman says Chief Keef is "heartbroken and appalled" by the death, but he can't appear in person because of "outstanding warrants his legal team is addressing." Capo's manager tells the Chicago Sun-Times the rapper had just returned from recording in LA. "He was a good kid. The streets of Chicago is something," he says. "He was murdered. I don't understand what is going on with all these kids." (During the previous weekend, 10 people were killed and 54 were injured in Chicago shootings.)

Input: New Horizons: Exhausted after the Civil War, Spain remained on the sidelines during World War II and began to recover economically under the oppressive, law-and-order regime of Franco. There had been a foretaste of elite foreign tourism in the 1920s, but it was the late 1950s when the rest of Europe began sun-seeking pilgrimages to Spain. Tourism exploded into an annual southern migration, transforming the Spanish economy, landscape, and society. Eager to capitalize, the country poured its soul into mass tourism, which triggered a rash of indiscriminate building on the southern and eastern coastlines, with scant regard for tradition or aesthetics. But after so many years closed off from the rest of Europe, of equal significance was the injection of foreign influences into Franco's once hermetically sealed Spain. Mallorca and Menorca in particular saw explosive growth in tourism; by the 1970s, the Balearics were one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations. Franco named as his successor the grandson of Alfonso XIII, who was enthroned as King Juan Carlos I when the dictator died in 1975. To the dismay of Franco diehards, the king brilliantly managed the transition to democracy, then stood back to allow it full rein, even intervening during a brief attempt at a military coup. After many years of repression, new freedoms and autonomy were granted to Spanish regions, including the Balearics, and their languages and cultures enjoyed a long-desired renaissance. More a part of Europe than ever before, Spain joined the European Community (now European Union) in 1986, giving further boost to a booming economy. The tourist industry continued to expand, and though it became one of the top two income earners in Spain, a realization that unrestricted mass tourism was leading to damaging long-term consequences also began to grow. By the late 1990s, a new emphasis on quality and, especially in the Balearics, on safeguarding the environment had finally taken root—too late for many environmentalists, but hopefully still in time to preserve much of the natural beauty and unique character of the Las Islas Baleares. <sep>Why was Spain so isolated and what event happened that allowed Mallorca and Menorca to see explosions in tourism?<sep>Spain was surrounded by enemies

question:
The earliest signs of people on Jamaica are the remains of the Arawak, an AmerIndian society that originated on the north coast of South America. Arawak peoples migrated to various Caribbean islands, arriving in Jamaica by the beginning of the eighth century. They were peaceful and lived by "slash-and-burn" farming. For meat, they bred pigs and ate iguana, both native to the island. They were highly skilled in such manual activities as thatching and weaving. In fact, the hammock was an AmerIndian invention that remains with us today; it is an object which, more than any other, evokes an image of a warm sunny day on a tropical isle. The Arawak left a legacy of paintings in places such as Runaway Caves near Discovery Bay, and shards of pottery found at their settlements near Nueva Sevilla and Spanish Town have added a little to our knowledge about them. Over 200 Arawak sites have been identified, and it is said that when the Spanish arrived in Jamaica there were approximately 100,000 Arawak living on the island. They called Jamaica "Xaymaca" ("land of wood and water"). Columbus and the Arrival of Europeans Columbus first arrived in Jamaica on 5 May 1494 at Discovery Bay, where there is now a small park in his honor. He stayed for only a few days but returned in 1502, landing here when the ships of his fleet became unserviceable; he waited at St. Ann's Bay for help to arrive from Cuba. After the death of Columbus in 1505, Jamaica became the property of his son Diego, who dispatched Don Juan de Esquivel to the island as Governor. Esquivel arrived in 1510 and created a base called Nueva Sevilla near St. Ann's Bay, from which he hoped to colonize the rest of the island. The Spanish immediately began subjugating the Arawak population, many of whom died under the yoke of oppression and of diseases carried by the Europeans. A number of them committed suicide rather than live the life created for them by the Spanish. The site of Nueva Sevilla proved to be unhealthy and mosquito-ridden, and in 1534 the Spanish founded Villa de la Vega, today known as Spanish Town. Pig breeding was the main occupation of these early settlers, but they also planted sugar cane and other crops that required large numbers of laborers. The number of Arawak had already fallen dramatically, so the Spanish began to import slaves from Africa to work the land; the first Africans arrived in 1517. <sep>For approximately how many years were the Arawak on Jamaica before the arrival of the Europeans?<sep>About 6 centuries

What if you could drain all of Earths oceans? What would it look like? You might be really surprised. You see that the surface has two main features. It has continents and ocean basins. Continents are large land areas. These are the areas that are mostly above sea level. Ocean basins extend from the edges of continents. They include the ocean floor and Earths deep ocean trenches. You will also notice the ocean floor is not flat. It too has many Continents are much older than ocean basins. Some rocks on the continents are billions of years old. Ocean basins may only be millions of years old. Because the continents are so old, a lot has happened to them! As we view the land around us, we see landforms.

question:
The Domestic Violence Legal Assistance Program fills the gap of legal resources for domestic violence survivors who can't afford an attorney. Domestic violence survivors in Jackson, Vicksburg, Hattiesburg, Oxford and Pascagoula can all get help. Julia Crockett, deputy director of Central Southwest Mississippi Legal Services Corp., said the program expects to help nearly 1,000 domestic violence victims. Crockett said legal help gives domestic abuse survivors a way to rebuild their lives. "They have been made to feel by the abuser that no one is going to help them do anything, so when they come to us they are desperate," she said. "Those who need legal help and don't get it feel totally lost. Because then they feel like they are forced to stay in that situation." Crockett said the program, funded by a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Justice Department, has no economic restrictions on who can get help. Legal services typically helps the poor. Gladys Bunzy, who said she was in an abusive relationship with a boyfriend for eight years, said such a program is long overdue and could be a lifeline for those escaping violent relationships. "When I finally made up my mind to leave, I had a restraining order put against him and that was $50 but that was $50 well spent to me," said Bunzy, 40. "For people who can't afford it, this will be a godsend ... If a woman knows she is going to get some help that will be a burden off her mind, if the law will help her keep that person away from her." Gwen Bouie-Haynes, project director of the Domestic Violence Services Center for Catholic Charities Inc., said often domestic violence survivors do not have the money to seek legal representation. "Legal assistance is a major issue for women fleeing a domestic violence situation," she said. "Often times women are in need of immediate legal assistance services for the protection of the mother and the child. To get a protective order you need to be represented by an attorney." Crockett said the pilot program was launched in 1998 at the Haven House Family Shelter Inc., a domestic violence shelter for women and children in Vicksburg. The program has helped victims in 90 court cases, and 150 legal counseling sessions have been held there. <sep>What are some of the biggest problems women in violent domestic situations face?<sep>Women in violent situations face problems like lack of money and feeling forced to stay in their current situation

Problem:Image copyright Pero Jelinic's Facebook page Image caption Pero Jelinic was an experienced hunter who had travelled all over the world in pursuit of his passion
A Croatian national has died in unclear circumstances while hunting lions with two friends in South Africa.
Pero Jelinic, 75, was hit by a bullet on Saturday at Leeubosch Lodge farm, about 355km (221 miles) west of Johannesburg, police said.
"At this stage it is not clear who fired the fatal shot that killed Mr Jelinic," a police spokeswoman said.
One of Mr Jelinic's hunting friends said it had been an accident but police have opened a culpable homicide case.
They say Mr Jelinic was shot after the hunters had already killed one lion and were tracking a second.
The injured man was airlifted to hospital but died shortly afterwards.
Police are also investigating whether the hunters had illegal guns while hunting lions bred in captivity, police spokeswoman Charlize van der Linden told news24 website.
The death of Pero Jelinic was first reported over the weekend but his hunting friend later gave more details to Croatian media about what had allegedly transpired on Saturday.
Diva Curlic told 24sata website Mr Jelinic's death during a morning hunt had been an "accident" - not "murder".
Mr Jelinic - from the island of Pag in the Adriatic Sea - was an experienced hunter who had travelled all over the world in pursuit of his passion, his friends say.
Animal rights activists have been pushing South Africa to ban the hunting of lions bred in captivity - a practice known as "canned lion" hunting.

A big game hunter was shot dead in a freak accident as he aimed his rifle at a lion he hoped would be the "crown" in his animal trophy collection, it was claimed.
Pero Jelinic, 75, and his party had killed one captive-bred lion on a remote hunting farm in South Africa and were tracking a second one when he was shot dead.
There have been conflicting reports about who fired the fatal shot and the circumstances, but police say they do not suspect foul play.
Hotel owner Jelinic was excited to kill and mount a lion after shooting everything that could be hunted in Europe, a close friend said.
Police have opened a case of culpable homicide as the investigate the death, which has been celebrated on social media by big game hunting opponents.

Jelinic, who lived on the Croatian island of Pag, and two friends were at a farm where hunters can shoot and kill lions bred in captivity, purely for sport.
The practice - called 'canned' lion hunting - is legal in South Africa, but has been condemned.
There were conflicting accounts about how Jelinic was shot dead.
A report by MailOnline suggested he was mortally wounded as he aimed his rifle at a lion.
Hunting partner and longtime friend Divo Curlica, who witnessed the incident, called it "a series of unfortunate circumstances".

He said the group arrived at the farm on Friday and started hunting the following morning.
He told 24 Sata that it was an accident, with the gun going off while it was pointed at his friend.
Curlica added: "It is not murder - it is an unlucky event."
The newspaper Vecernji List also spoke to Curlica and said that the shot came from the gun of a professional foreign hunter, reported the English-language Total Croatia News.
However a report by Dnevnik stated that police have claimed the shot was fired by one of the Croatian hunters.
It was said that Jelinic got tired during the hunt and gave his guns to the other two Croatians in his party.

He allegedly walked in front of one of the other hunters and was shot in the shoulder.
Friend Slavko Pernar, a hunting partner who did not join Jelinic in South Africa, told the Jutarnji List newspaper that the hotelier was a "passionate hunter" and had leased his hotel so he could focus on trophy hunting.
Jelinic, originally from Bosnia, had travelled all over, killing bears, deer and other animals which were on display in his office, and considered a lion the "crown" in his collection, his friend said.
Pernar added: "He, unfortunately, received the ugliest end - he died in South Africa doing what he loved.
"His office, a hunting hall, was full of trophies - deer, bears and everything that could be hunted in Croatia and Europe."
Slave Zunik, who knew Jelinic from a local hunting association, added: "He hunted all over the world, there was no corner of the globe he had not been to hunt, so we were not surprised when we heard he was going to South Africa to hunt for lions.

"That was a big wish, crowning a hunter's career. Unfortunately, the worst news came from there and that shocked us.
"Only God knows what happened there."
Police spokeswoman Captain Charlize van der Linden told News 24 that Jelinic and two other Croatians were hunting captive-bred lions at Leeubosch Lodge near Setlagole when he was killed on Saturday.
She said: "At this stage it is not clear who fired the fatal shot that killed Mr Jelinic. Our investigations are ongoing."
Captain van der Linden said the group was tracking a second lion when Jelinic was shot.
He was airlifted to Vryburg Hospital by helicopter, but doctors were unable to save him.
Police have opened a case of culpable homicide and are also investigating charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, the spokeswoman added.
Curlic has told Croatian media that the firearms and ammunition the group had were not illegal. ||||| We’ve been following the story of Croatian lion hunter Pero Jelinić and his death after he was shot during a hunting expedition in South Africa over the weekend. International media including The Independent and the Evening Standard has jumped on the story while Croatian press has searched vigorously for more details.
But who was it to shoot the Croatian hunter over the weekend? The details are still up in the air.
Vecernji List reports on January 30, 2018, that after talking to Đivo Ćurlica of the Dubrovnik Croatian Hunters' Safari Association, a professional foreign hunter shot the bullet that killed Jelinić.
“It was an unlucky case, an unfortunate circumstance. It was the gunshot of a professional foreign hunter, and the bullet hit Pero,” said Ćurlica in a telephone interview with Vecernji List.
On the other hand, Dnevnik reports on January 30, 2018, that the South African Police uncovered new details of what happened to Pero over the weekend, claiming that they know from whose gun the bullet was shot, though it is unclear how the situation unfolded.
Dnevnik reports that the South African police explained that Jelinić was shot by one of his fellow Croatian hunters. The group of hunters on the South African expedition, which included three Croats, were hunting at a lion farm near Setlagol. During the hunt, the 75-year-old was allegedly tired, after which he handed his firearms to his colleagues from Croatia. Two of them continued to walk and follow one another. The 75-year-old allegedly walked in front of the other Croatian citizen in the group, and a bullet struck him in the shoulder. He was taken to a hospital in Vryburg where he died, said the South African police.
The details are still pretty sketchy about what exactly happened to Pero in South Africa. What we do know is that Pero Jelinić was killed while hunting lions over the weekend. The South African police confirmed that the hunter died at a hospital in Vryburg, and immediately opened an investigation to find out exactly what happened to the Croat.
The news of his death shocked all his friends and colleagues on Saturday, including Slavko Pernar, a longtime friend who was in contact with him earlier this month. For a long time, he says, he planned to crown his rich hunting career with the trophy of the lion, but instead, it was the hunt to end his life.
Jelinić arrived on the island of Pag in the seventies to convey his experience in the hotel business which he acquired in Bonn, said Pernar. The hunters in the area had welcomed him warmly then, assisting him with finding work at a family home - and amongst everyone, he was a favorite, writes 057.
"He was a passionate hunter of big and small game, and in search of that, he traveled most of the world. For the past year, he had leased his hotel just to dedicate himself to the things he planned to accomplish and enjoyed a deserved retirement. He, unfortunately, received the ugliest end - he died doing what he loved,” Pernar said.
Jelinić was extremely vibrant for his age, and he faced no problems traveling to Africa to hunt at the age of 75. Such a journey, Pernar says, usually lasts seven to nine days.
“His office, a hunting hall, was full of trophies, deer and bear specimens and everything that could be hunted in Croatia and Europe. In this room he received friends, we will all miss him,” Pernar concluded.

Solution: | Pero Jelinic's love of big game hunting took him all over the world, but most recently to South Africa, where he hoped to bring down a lion. It was to be the "crown" of the Croatian's trophy hall, filled with "everything that could be hunted in Croatia and Europe," his friend, Slavko Pernar, told reporters, per Yahoo. But though Jelinic apparently managed to nab that crown, it was only shortly before Pernar says he met "the ugliest end." The details are murky, but police say 75-year-old Jelinic was fatally shot Saturday while hunting with two friends at Leeuwbosch Game Lodge, where lions are bred in captivity some 40 miles from the Botswana border. The group had killed one lion and was tracking a second when Jelinic was hit by a bullet and died after being airlifted to a hospital, reports the BBC. Police aren't sure who fired the fatal shot and while they don't suspect foul play, they've opened a culpable homicide (manslaughter) investigation and are considering charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, reports the Week. One of the men present maintains the guns were legal, however, and describes the shooting as an accident that came after "a series of unfortunate circumstances," per the Mirror. According to one account, a tired Jelinic handed his guns to other hunters in his party before he was accidentally shot in the shoulder, per Total Croatia News. A separate account suggests Jelinic was shot while aiming at a lion. Either way, Pernar says Jelinic—a hotel owner who leased the building to fund his retirement and hunting trips—died "doing what he loved." |

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: As we informed our Chicago-based restaurant customers last week, we learned that a rogue OpenTable employee had made a few hundred false reservations at 45 Chicago restaurants using a competitor’s platform. We quickly investigated, confirmed this employee had acted alone and terminated the employee within 48 hours. The former employee was not in a sales function and had no managerial duties.
On behalf of OpenTable, I extend our sincerest apologies to the restaurant community in Chicago and to Reserve for this disgraceful, unsanctioned behavior.
This behavior goes against everything we stand for. Our culture and values at OpenTable are founded on the principle of integrity, and that absolutely encompasses how we embrace competition in the marketplace. The only reason we exist is to help restaurants grow. When they succeed, we succeed. Taking any action that puts restaurants in harm is a direct attack on us as well.
As in any restaurant that makes a mistake, the first rule of hospitality is to make it right with the customer. And we intend to do the same. As a result, we have already begun outreach to the restaurants affected and will reimburse them for lost revenue.
At OpenTable, we believe that it is our responsibility to help build awareness of the impact of no-shows, which made this egregious behavior by a former OpenTable employee all the more painful.
This action absolutely does not reflect our mission of helping restaurants grow and thrive, and we will continue to work hard to earn the trust and respect of the OpenTable community every day.

[email protected] ||||| OpenTable, the market leader in the online restaurant-booking world, is embroiled in a scheme that affected 45 Chicago restaurants that use Reserve, an OpenTable rival. Last week, OpenTable confirmed it fired an employee who made several hundred reservations at restaurants using Reserve, which resulted in hundreds of no-shows over the course of the past three months. Reserve and several Chicago restaurant workers allege that the employee, who remains unnamed, wanted to convince those Reserve customers that OpenTable was a better product and intended to use the no-shows in their sales pitches.
“This was obviously done with the intent to harm Reserve,” said Reserve COO Michael Wesner.
Reserve’s security team conducted an investigation and brought that evidence to OpenTable and started a dialogue between the two rivals. OpenTable confirmed that it fired the employee in question and had this to say: “We extend our sincerest apologies to the restaurants in Chicago that were impacted by the disgraceful, unsanctioned activity of a lone OpenTable employee. When this activity was brought to our attention, we swiftly investigated and the employee was terminated immediately. We have begun reaching out to the restaurants and are committed to making it right.”
According to Reserve, the former OpenTable employee created several email accounts to make fake reservations. The scheme started in December and peaked on Valentine’s Day, a notoriously busy and profitable day for restaurants. Reserve’s software engineers noticed a spike in prospective fraudulent activity on the afternoon of February 14. They then began more carefully examining their data. Reserve attempted to cancel suspicious reservations and alerted the restaurants. It’s difficult to estimate how much money the scheme cost the affected restaurants: In some cases, they were able to fill some of the falsely booked seats with last-minute reservation seekers.
Wesner and Reserve CEO Greg Hong said this was the only time they’ve ever tracked such behavior, which they don’t believe is criminal in nature. OpenTable claimed this was an isolated, rogue employee. Regardless, several Chicago restaurateurs — including Presidio, City Mouse, and Tavern on the Park — that fell victim are furious. Case in point: Tavern, a Downtown Chicago restaurant that overlooks Millennium Park, used OpenTable after opening in 2007. It was targeted after it switched to Reserve in June 2017.
“If you’re the biggest guy on the block, you’re supposed to lead by example,” Tavern on the Park co-owner Peter de Castro said. “Why would they stoop to the level of undermining the competition and hurting the restaurants that went to that competition?”
In addition to Reserve, OpenTable rivals include Resy (a company started by Eater co-founder Ben Leventhal) and Tock. In wooing restaurants, these reservation-booking services promise they’ll keep costs low while offering restaurants exposure. They also purport to reduce the risk of no-shows, which are a well-documented huge problem in the restaurant industry, costing restaurants thousands of dollars by taking away dining-room availability from interested diners. OpenTable has a “four strikes” user policy where an account is deactivated if there are four no-shows over the course of 12 months.
“Our commitment to reducing no shows made this egregious behavior by a former OpenTable employee all the more painful,” an OpenTable statement read.
Reserve declined to share the specifics of its security protocols. Despite attempts by the OpenTable employee to hide traces of their identity, Reserve’s software engineers tracked the IP addresses, which led them to OpenTable. During the week of February 18, Reserve’s executives quietly contacted OpenTable and shared their evidence. After an internal investigation, OpenTable fired the employee. Neither Reserve nor OpenTable provided any details about the employee’s identity.
The company’s rapid response satisfied Reserve’s executives, who said OpenTable CEO Christa Quarles also internally communicated that these tactics were unacceptable and encouraged employees to report any signs of suspicious activity.
However, restaurant owners aren’t so easy to forgive. There was no settlement or money exchanged between OpenTable and Reserve, Wesner said. Reserve offered the contact OpenTable on any restaurant’s behalf or provide further data if any owners wanted to pursue another course of actions. Meanwhile, De Castro noticed several large group reservations were no-showing starting in December at Tavern. There wasn’t a spike, but a gradual build up. The no-shows were accompanied by an OpenTable inquiry about Tavern’s “sagging sales,” with a renewed attempt to convince them to switch.
“It seemed a little too convenient given what their employee was doing,” De Castro said.
Restaurant workers, some wanting to remain anonymous, were the ones who contacted the media. One worker at a West Loop restaurant that opened last year was angry over throngs of vacant tables on Valentine’s Day. As a new restaurant, it’s trying to become established, and given Chicago’s turbulent restaurant market — with several recent high-profile closures — he was angry that OpenTable would risk damaging a restaurant’s bottom line. De Castro echoed those frustrations.
“I’m so upset with OpenTable that I think the company should leave Chicago,” he said. “But that would never happen.”
Reserve doesn’t believe other cities were affected by the scheme. One of OpenTable’s most vocal critics is Nick Kokonas — the Chicago restaurateur behind the city’s only three-Michelin-starred restaurant, Alinea. Kokonas runs OpenTable competitor Tock. He said he wasn’t surprised to hear about the incidents.
“OpenTable doesn’t truly care about restaurants,” Kokonas said. “If they did, they would never try to exploit no-shows on Reserve while hurting the restaurants’ income in a major way.”
Kokonas believes his system, where diners pay upfront, eliminates no-shows. He praised Reserve for noticing: “I’ll bet the same thing happened to Resy and they didn’t even know it.”
De Castro told the story to a few diners at Tavern and said they were so angry that they pulled out their smartphones and deleted the OpenTable app.
Reserve’s Hong is disgusted that his company was dragged into this situation.
“Quite frankly, it’s not something that we want to be spending time on,” he said. “We should be spending more time making our restaurant partners more successful, helping them run better businesses, and creating better experiences for their guests.”
Disclaimer: OpenTable is an Eater advertiser and uses Eater content on its website and app. ||||| OpenTable, the country's leading online reservation service, fired an employee who made hundreds of fake reservations at restaurants that used OpenTable's rival service — Reserve — in an attempt to hurt the competition.
The OpenTable employee used Reserve to make around 300 fake reservations at 45 restaurants that led to hundreds of no-shows for those restaurants over a three-month period, Reserve's CEO Greg Hong and COO Michael Wesner told BuzzFeed News on Monday.
The no-shows were equivalent to 1,200 to 1,300 diners.
The OpenTable employee's actions were an attempt to "cast negative light on Reserve in a competitive landscape," Wesner said.
According to Eater Chicago, which first reported the story, the employee intended to use the no-shows in their sales pitches to show OpenTable was a better product than Reserve.
In emails provided to BuzzFeed News, OpenTable confirmed that the "rogue" employee had "acted alone" and was fired for making false reservations in Chicago restaurants over the last several months.
"We recently discovered a rogue OpenTable employee who made false reservations at 40-50 Chicago restaurants using a competitor's platform," OpenTable said in a March 2 email to its restaurant customers.
"This resulted in a few hundred no-shows over the last several months. While this only affected restaurants using that competing platform, we wanted to make you aware that we immediately terminated this employee because we have a zero-tolerance policy for any unethical behavior," the email said.
The former employee was not in a sales function and had no managerial duties, OpenTable said in a letter to the restaurant community on Monday. The employee was fired within 48 hours of being investigated, the company said.
"This goes against everything we stand for, our ethical culture and our operating principles here at OpenTable," the company said in an internal email. "Harming any restaurant’s business is antithetical to who we are. We must endeavor to help ALL restaurants grow and thrive; even the ones that aren’t our customers."
OpenTable said it would be "reaching out individually to Reserve's restaurants to make this right." |||||
Student: | Tactics are apparently rough in the business of online dinner reservations. An employee for OpenTable, the nation's No. 1 such service, made 300 fake reservations over three months at dozens of Chicago restaurants through rival service Reserve, reports Eater Chicago. The idea was to make Reserve look bad. As many as 1,300 expected diners didn't show up, including on Valentine's Day, representing a significant loss of income for the restaurants, Reserve CEO Greg Hong tells BuzzFeed. His company figured out the scheme after looking into the data and notified OpenTable on Feb. 21. OpenTable fired the employee a day later, making clear the person "acted alone." "We immediately terminated this employee because we have a zero-tolerance policy for any unethical behavior," OpenTable said in an email to its restaurant customers. It's "disgraceful, unsanctioned behavior," CEO Christa Quarles added in a statement. She stressed the "rogue" employee wasn't in a managerial or sales position and said affected restaurants would be reimbursed for lost revenue. At least one of those restaurants, Tavern at the Park, switched to Reserve from OpenTable in June 2017. "I'm so upset with OpenTable that I think the company should leave Chicago," the co-owner tells Eater. (The company has other issues.) |
