The 1933 double eagle, a $20 gold piece with a mysterious history that involves a president, a king and a Secret Service sting operation, was auctioned Tuesday last night for a record price for a coin, $7.59 million, nearly double the previous record. The anonymous buyer, believed to be an individual collector who lives in the United States, made the winning bid in a fiercely contested nine-minute auction at Sotheby's in Manhattan. Eight bidders were joined by 500 coin collectors and dealers in an auction house audience seemingly devoid of celebrity bidders, while an additional 534 observers followed the bidding on eBay. As auction houses prepare for their fall seasons in an uncertain economy, the sale price "suggests that the marketplace for important items is enormously strong," said David Redden, a vice chairman at Sotheby's, who was the auctioneer. "This is an astonishing new record for a coin," he said. In an unprecedented move, the auction proceeds were split by the U.S. Mint and a London coin dealer, Stephen Fenton, who had won that right in court after having been arrested by Secret Service agents for trying to sell the coin in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan in 1996. Henrietta Holsman Fore, the director of the U.S. Mint, who witnessed the sale, said, "The monies we receive will go toward helping to pay down the debt and to fight the war on terrorism." Fenton commented that the double eagle had been on "a long historic journey, with a very satisfying ending." He added, "I am thrilled with the price." The previous numismatic record holder was an 1804 U.S. silver dollar, which sold for $4.14 million in 1999. Sotheby's partner in the one-lot auction was Stack's Rare Coins, with which it shared the customary 15 percent commission. "I have never seen as much interest in the sale of any coin in my 30 years in the business," said Lawrence R. Stack, the company's managing director. "This is the Mona Lisa of coins," said Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World, the largest weekly coin publication in the United States, with a circulation of 85,000. "It is unique. Forbidden fruit." Collectors' Web sites have surged with speculation about the sale price, and enthusiasts even organized betting pools. <sep>What was the price it was finally sold?<sep>$4 Million | No |

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. |

She led the way into the cheerful schoolroom, where big girls and little girls were sitting about, amusing themselves in the quiet of a long Sunday afternoon. Several of the younger children ran to her as she came in, and stood holding fast to the folds of her black habit, staring up at the strangers, while she explained the kind of instruction given, the system, and the order reigning in each department. Finally, she persuaded a little girl, only six years old, to take her dusky face out of the long flowing veil of the nun, and show how quickly she could read a sentence that Sister Winifred wrote on the blackboard. Then others were called on, and gave examples of their accomplishments in easy arithmetic and spelling. The children must have been very much bored with themselves that stormy Sunday, for they entered into the examination with a quite unnatural zest. Two of the elder girls recited, and some specimens of penmanship and composition were shown.

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that laboratory tests on popular smoking devices known as electronic cigarettes have found they contain carcinogens and other toxic chemicals dangerous to humans. E-cigarettes are battery-operated and contain cartridges filled with nicotine and other chemicals. Known as "e-cigarettes," the devices are battery-operated and contain cartridges filled with nicotine and other chemicals, spiced with flavors such as chocolate, cola or bubble gum. While manufacturers tout e-cigarettes as a "healthy way" to smoke, federal health officials say the devices turn nicotine, which is highly addictive, and other chemicals into a vapor that is inhaled by the user. "The FDA is concerned about the safety of these products and how they are marketed to the public," said Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of the FDA. CNN contacted Florida-based Smoking Everywhere, one of the largest manufacturers of e-cigarettes, after the FDA announcement, and a spokeswoman said the company had no comment. Because e-cigarettes have not been submitted to the FDA for evaluation or approval, the agency had no way of knowing the levels of nicotine or the amounts or kinds of other chemicals that the various brands of these products deliver to the user. That is why the FDA began to test them. The FDA's Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis analyzed the ingredients in a small sample of cartridges from two leading brands of e-cigarettes. In releasing its information, the FDA did not identify the two companies, but said in one sample, diethylene glycol -- a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans -- was detected. Other samples detected carcinogens that are dangerous to those who smoke them, the FDA said. The FDA has been examining and seizing shipments of non-U.S.-made e-cigarettes at the U.S. border since summer 2008. To date, 50 shipments have been stopped. The products examined thus far meet the definition of a combination drug-device product under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. "We know very little about these devices, said Dr. Jonathan Samet, director of the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California, "but to say they are healthy -- that's highly doubtful." <sep>Where did the FDA find the chemical diethylene glycol?<sep>Shipment

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: (CNN) -- A Christian evangelical group said Thursday that a Bible school -- backed by American evangelist Franklin Graham -- was destroyed in the latest bombing raid to hit South Kordofan, an oil-rich Sudanese province that borders the newly created independent country of South Sudan. At least eight bombs were dropped in the area Wednesday during the school's first day of classes, according to a statement by Samaritan's Purse, Graham's Christian humanitarian group, which supports the school. Two bombs landed inside the compound -- located in the region's Nuba Mountains -- destroying two Heiban Bible College buildings and igniting grass fires across the area, the group said in a statement No injuries were reported. "It was a miracle that no one was injured," the statement added. Graham, who has called on the international community to take out Sudan's air assets and establish a no-fly zone in the region, said in a statement Thursday that he blamed Sudan's air force for the strike. At least four churches have been destroyed since August, the group said. "We are deeply concerned for the welfare and lives of the people of South Kordofan and we condemn the bombing of churches and Christian facilities," added Graham, son of the famed Rev. Billy Graham. More than 78,000 people have fled South Kordofan and Blue Nile states since August of last year after an armed rebellion took root, the United Nations reported. The Sudanese government is thought to have responded to the rebellion by conducting sustained air raids with the use of Russian-made Antonov bombers, which have raised concerns over civilian casualties.

If you beat a dog in Schuylkill County, you'll probably get a $100 fine. If you repeatedly beat a woman, you'll probably get the same fine. In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, finding the defendant guilty in 48 percent of those cases, either after a hearing or through a technical violation or plea. Of those found guilty, the majority were ordered to pay court costs, plus a $100 fine. No defendants were ordered to pay more than a $250 fine for violating the court order. In 27 percent of the cases, the charges were dismissed or the defendant was found not guilty. In the rest of the cases, charges were withdrawn or the matter is not yet resolved. Sarah T. Casey, executive director of Schuylkill Women in Crisis, finds it disturbing that in most cases, the fine for violating a PFA is little more than the fine someone would get for cruelty and abuse toward an animal. "In most of the counties surrounding Schuylkill County, the penalties given for indirect criminal contempt are much stiffer than those in Schuylkill County," Casey said. "What kind of message are we sending those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders? That it's OK to abuse women in Schuylkill County, because you'll only get a slap on the wrist?" Under state law, the minimum fine for contempt of a PFA is $100; the maximum fine is $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Like others who are familiar with how the county's legal system does and doesn't work for victims of domestic violence, Casey believes some changes are in order. Valerie West, a manager/attorney with Mid-Penn Legal Services, with offices in Pottsville and Reading, regularly handles domestic violence cases. She finds fault with the local requirement that a custody order must be established within 30 days after a PFA is filed. West said she feels a custody order should be allowed to stand for the full term of the PFA - up to 18 months - as it does in many other counties in the state. "It places an undue burden on the plaintiff, in terms of cost, finding legal representation and facing their abuser - not to mention a further burden on the system to provide those services," West said. "It may be difficult for the parties to reach an agreement so soon after violence has occurred. <sep>Will everyone have to pay a fine for beating a woman or a dog in Schuylkill County?<sep>Depends, within the county in 2001, only 98 cases on the matter were heard by a judge and only 48 percent of those were found guilty

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.

A second suspect was wounded in the shootout and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Authorities say he was armed with at least one weapon, but it is unclear what his role in the shooting may have been at this time.
Three civilians – two men and one woman -- were among the wounded and were taken to local hospitals. Police say their injuries are not life-threatening.

Two officers were also wounded. One was shot in the hand and is expected to be OK. The other was shot in the chest, but officers say his bullet-proof vest saved his life. Officials say they are both out of the hospital as of Sunday evening.

How to develop an ethical trading policy for your small business
Understand the purpose of an ethical trading policy.
It is about being prepared to look beyond economic objectives to consider the wider implications of your business decisions. From an international perspective, it is becoming increasingly more important, so if you're trading overseas (importing and/or exporting), it's important to bear this in mind.
Treat an ethical trading policy as essential, not as a luxury. Your business will be ahead of many others by considering the need for an ethical trading policy early on.

When you get sick, your body springs to action. Your body starts to fight the illness. Thats why you want to eat right and get plenty of sleep. You need a strong immune system to fight off illness. Plants dont have an immune system. That does not mean they do not get sick. Plants are affected by disease just like us. Typically, their first line of defense is the death of part of the plant. This prevents the infection from spreading. Many plants also produce special chemicals to fight disease. For example, willow trees produce a chemical to kill the bacteria.

One look at Fred Rooney, and you just know he's the good guy. A trace of childish innocence in his face gives the lanky Bethlehem lawyer a Jimmy Stewart-like quality of quiet trust. In black jeans and button-down shirt, he's a kind of folk hero in the south Bethlehem melting pot where he's crafted a law practice catering to working-class families - mostly Latino - in the shadow of the hulkish remnants of Bethlehem Steel. A two-hour drive away, at City University of New York Law School in Queens, Rooney spends several days a week helping upstart lawyers develop storefront practices that, like his, provide legal representation to folks who can't afford a $250-an-hour legal counselor. Kristin Booth Glen, the law school's dean, took one look at Rooney and knew he was the right person to head the innovative Community Legal Resources Network. ''Fred's so low-key, he's Midwestern in effect,'' says Glen, a former New York Supreme Court judge. ''He captivates people, he inspires loyalty.'' For bringing legal representation to the poor and a host of other social causes, including finding medical care for seriously ill children in Latin America, the Moravian College Alumni Association has chosen Rooney for its prestigious Haupert Humanitarian Award. The award, given to only a select few alumni, will be presented at 7:30 tonight at a reception on Moravian's Priscilla Payne Hurd campus. Moravian, where he was an undergraduate in the early 1970s, inspired Rooney's deep sense of social justice. The son of a Bethlehem Steel executive in New York, he came to the Bethlehem campus from an affluent upbringing on Long Island. The young Rooney might have set his sights on Washington, D.C., like his uncle, former U.S. Rep. Fred Rooney of Bethlehem. After all, politics run in the Rooney family. His brother, state Rep. T.J. Rooney of Bethlehem, is a power in the state Legislature and the Democratic Party. But on a trip to Colombia when he was a junior at Moravian, the child of privilege saw human suffering, malnutrition and poverty the likes of which he had never imagined. ''I couldn't understand why we live this way and they live that way,'' Rooney recalled. ''It's been the guiding light of my life ever since.'' After graduating in CUNY Law School's first class in 1986, he took a job with Lehigh Valley Legal Services. <sep>Who graduated from CUNY Law School's first class in 1986?<sep>His brother J. T Rooney

Q: The Mummy 's Shroud is set in 1920 and tells the story of a team of archaeologists who come across the lost tomb of the boy Pharaoh Kah-To-Bey . The story begins with a flash back sequence to Ancient Egypt and we see the story of how Prem , a manservant of Kah-To-Bey , spirited away the boy when his father was killed in a palace coup and took him into the desert for protection . Unfortunately , the boy dies and is buried . The story then moves forward to 1920 and shows the expedition led by scientist Sir Basil Walden and business man Stanley Preston finding the tomb . They ignore the dire warning issued to them by Hasmid , a local Bedouin about the consequences for those that violate the tombs of Ancient Egypt and remove the bodies and the sacred shroud . Sir Basil is bitten by a snake just after finding the tomb . He recovers , but has a relapse after arriving back in Cairo . Preston takes advantage of this and commits him to an insane asylum , to take credit for finding the tomb and Prince 's mummy himself . Meanwhile , after being placed in the Cairo Museum , the mummy of Prem is revived when Hasmid chants the sacred oath on the shroud . The mummy then proceeds to go on a murderous rampage to kill off the members of the expedition , beginning with Sir Basil after he escapes from the asylum . One by one , those who assisted in removing the contents of the tomb to Cairo are eliminated by such grisly means as strangulation , being thrown out of windows , and having photographic acid thrown in their face . <sep>Who murders the individuals who assisted with removing the contents of the tomb?<sep>Sir Basil

How to become a research assistant

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.-China Disputes in 2010 January: China suspends military ties over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan March: China refuses to blame North Korea for sinking of South Korean ship July: China protests after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says U.S. has national interest in South China Sea September: China angered by perceived U.S. support for Japan in row over disputed islands.
U.S. House of Representatives passes bill authorizing action against China for manipulation of its currency October: U.S. congratulates Liu Xiaobo, jailed Chinese dissident, for winning the Nobel Peace Prize November: China refuses to condemn North Korea for artillery raid on South Korea.
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.

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. |

Tocqueville asserted that the values that had triumphed in the North and were present in the South had begun to suffocate old-world ethics and social arrangements. Legislatures abolished primogeniture and entails, resulting in more widely distributed land holdings. This was a contrast to the general aristocratic pattern in which only the eldest child, usually a man, inherited the estate, which had the effect of keeping large estates intact from generation to generation. In America, in contrast, landed elites were less likely to pass on fortunes to a single child by the action of primogeniture, which meant that as time went by, large estates became broken up within a few generations which, in turn, made the children more equal overall. It was not always a negative development, according to Joshua Kaplan's interpretation of Tocqueville, since bonds of affection and shared experience between children often replaced the more formal relation between the eldest child and the siblings, characteristic of the previous aristocratic pattern. Overall, in the new democracies, hereditary fortunes became exceedingly difficult to secure and more people were forced to struggle for their own living. This rapidly democratizing society, as Tocqueville understood it, had a population devoted to "middling" values which wanted to amass, through hard work, vast fortunes. In Tocqueville's mind, this explained why America was so different from Europe. In Europe, he claimed, nobody cared about making money. The lower classes had no hope of gaining more than minimal wealth, while the upper classes found it crass, vulgar, and unbecoming of their sort to care about something as unseemly as money; many were virtually guaranteed wealth and took it for granted. At the same time in America, workers would see people fashioned in exquisite attire and merely proclaim that through hard work they too would soon possess the fortune necessary to enjoy such luxuries. Despite maintaining with Aristotle, Montesquieu, and others that the balance of property determined the balance of power, Tocqueville argued that, as America showed, equitable property holdings did not ensure the rule of the best men. In fact, it did quite the opposite. The widespread, relatively equitable property ownership which distinguished America and determined its mores and values also explained why the American masses held elites in such contempt. <sep>Why were the children of American elites more equal to non-elite children than were the children of European elites?<sep>Because in America Legislatures abolished primogeniture and entails, resulting in more widely distributed land holdings

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 extract your dna
Create a mouth rinse.
To extract your dna from saliva, you'll need to create a mouth rinse first. You'll be mixing salt into water, because salt provides a rough, granular texture to help collect cells from your mouth.
OPTIONS:
- Soaking a piece of cardboard or newspaper in plain water first can make it easier to extract your dna. A basic mouth rinse will probably be sufficient; however, if you don't have time to soak an entire row of cell phones and other household objects, take a pinch of salt and use it instead.
- This process takes many months to complete, so it's important to have all this done before trying to extract your dna. Keep in mind that bacteria may be present in your mouth if you haven't already swallowed a certain amount of salt.
- For the process to work, add 1 teaspoon of regular sea salt to a gallon bucket. You don't need to be precise with your steps, since the salt is what draws out the trace minerals you want to remove from the dna and will eventually take juice from the antibodies responsible for your dna molecules.
- It also helps protect the negative phosphate ends of your dna, allowing it to precipitate out of the saliva. Mix one tablespoon of salt into 500 milliliters of clean drinking water.

How to get a urine sample from a female dog
Choose a container.
Your vet may give you a container in which to collect the urine. If not, use a container from home that you will not use again.
OPTIONS:
- Shallow containers, such as aluminum pie plates, work really well for collecting urine from female dogs. Here are other container options : Empty cream cheese container shallow food storage container Wash and dry the container.
- Ceramic water or a large bucket can be a great container. You do not need to use glass, plastic, or any other surface you do not want the urine sample to land on.
- Because fecal matter likes to accumulate and the containers are too small, a plastic bin works best. An empty flower pot or large container will keep the urine from traveling back into the dog's mouth and the loose pellets or droppings from that container can cause health issues.
- Ceramic containers are the best, as they can be easily cleaned using dish soap and water. Avoid plastic containers, as they are too big for your dog to use and many have plastic side-to-side openings.

[Q]: The Romans: Legend says Rome was founded by Romulus, sired with twin brother Remus by Mars of a Vestal Virgin and abandoned on the Palatine Hill to be suckled by a she-wolf. Historians agree with the mythmakers that the site and traditional founding date of 753 b.c. are just about right. Under Etruscan domination, Rome had been a monarchy until a revolt in 510 b.c. established a patrician republic, which lasted five centuries. In contrast to other Italian cities weakened by internal rivalries and unstable government, Rome drew strength from a solid aristocracy of consuls and senate ruling over plebeians proud of their Roman citizenship and only rarely rebellious. Recovering quickly from the Gallic invasion of 390 b.c. , the Romans took effective control of the peninsula by a military conquest reinforced by a network of roads with names that exist to this day: Via Appia, Flaminia, Aurelia. All roads did indeed lead to — and from — Rome. By 250 b.c. , the city's population had grown to an impressive 100,000. Roman power extended throughout the Mediterranean with a victory in the Punic Wars against Carthage (now Tunisia) and conquests in Macedonia, Asia Minor, Spain, and southern France. The rest of Italy participated only by tax contributions to the war effort and minor involvement in commerce and colonization. Resentment surfaced when former Etruscan or Greek cities such as Capua, Syracuse, and Taranto supported Hannibal's invasion in 218 b.c. Rome followed up defeat of the Carthaginians with large-scale massacres and enslavement of their Italian supporters. The Third and final Punic War ended in 149 b.c. , though national solidarity was still a long way off. Under Julius Caesar, elected in 59 b.c. <sep>What did the Romans do after recovering from the Gallic invasion of 390 b.c?<sep>Established a patrician republic

[Q]: When land is cleared, habitats are lost. It may be cleared for agriculture. It may also be used for building new homes or businesses. Within the past 100 years, the amount of land used for agriculture has almost doubled. Land used for grazing cattle has more than doubled. Many wetlands have also been lost to agriculture. The U.S. has lost almost all the natural tall-grass prairies. Thee areas of tall thick grass have virtually disappeared. These areas of land had thick fertile soil. Their grasses had very deep root systems. These deep and thick roots reduced the amount of soil erosion. They also were home to many plants and animals. Prairies were wonderful places. They were home to colorful flowers, prairie dogs, and herds of bison. <sep>How can habitats be lost?<sep>killed by invasive tall grass

[Q]: Static electricity is like a teeter-totter. What happens if a teeter-totter is balanced? Correct! It does not move. What about when its not balanced? Yes, it will now begin to move. Charges move when they are not balanced. Charges can build up by friction. Maybe you rub your feet on a wool mat or carpet. Rubber soled shoes readily gain charges. The wool carpet easily gives up charges. The two items become unbalanced. One item has a positive charge. The other has a negative charge. The difference in charge is called static electricity. Just like the teeter-totter, something is going to move. Positive charges build up on the mat. Negative charges build up on you. <sep>What kind of charge is required for static electricity?<sep>Moving charge

Pangaea or Pangea (/ pænˈdʒiːə /) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a superocean, Panthalassa. Pangaea was the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists. | when did all the continents combine into the pangaean supercontinent |

[EX Q]: Which came first, the bridge across the Tyne or the first phase of Britain's first urban light rail system?, Context: The city is served by the Tyne and Wear Metro, a system of suburban and underground railways covering much of Tyne and Wear. It was opened in five phases between 1980 and 1984, and was Britain's first urban light rail transit system; two extensions were opened in 1991 and 2002. It was developed from a combination of existing and newly built tracks and stations, with deep-level tunnels constructed through Newcastle city centre. A bridge was built across the Tyne, between Newcastle and Gateshead, and opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1981. The network is operated by DB Regio on behalf of Nexus and carries over 37 million passengers a year, extending as far as Newcastle Airport, Tynemouth, South Shields and South Hylton in Sunderland. In 2004, the company Marconi designed and constructed the mobile radio system to the underground Metro system. The Metro system was the first in the UK to have mobile phone antennae installed in the tunnels.

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.
(Image: Mercury Press)
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.) |

What was the name of the person who joined in on the coup with Xianfeng's empress?, Context: These years saw an evolution in the participation of Empress Dowager Cixi (Wade–Giles: Tz'u-Hsi) in state affairs. She entered the imperial palace in the 1850s as a concubine to the Xianfeng Emperor (r. 1850–1861) and came to power in 1861 after her five-year-old son, the Tongzhi Emperor ascended the throne. She, the Empress Dowager Ci'an (who had been Xianfeng's empress), and Prince Gong (a son of the Daoguang Emperor), staged a coup that ousted several regents for the boy emperor. Between 1861 and 1873, she and Ci'an served as regents, choosing the reign title "Tongzhi" (ruling together). Following the emperor's death in 1875, Cixi's nephew, the Guangxu Emperor, took the throne, in violation of the dynastic custom that the new emperor be of the next generation, and another regency began. In the spring of 1881, Ci'an suddenly died, aged only forty-three, leaving Cixi as sole regent.

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.

Chief Keef will encourage attendees to contribute money for young Dillan's family, a spokesman for the rapper told the publication. |||||
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.)

Q: The little party in the cabin, so disastrously begun, finished, under the mellowing influence of wine and woman, in excellent feeling and with some hilarity. Mamie, in a plush Gainsborough hat and a gown of wine-coloured silk, sat, an apparent queen, among her rude surroundings and companions. The dusky litter of the cabin set off her radiant trimness: tarry Johnson was a foil to her fair beauty; she glowed in that poor place, fair as a star; until even I, who was not usually of her admirers, caught a spark of admiration; and even the captain, who was in no courtly humour, proposed that the scene should be commemorated by my pencil. It was the last act of the evening. Hurriedly as I went about my task, the half-hour had lengthened out to more than three before it was completed: Mamie in full value, the rest of the party figuring in outline only, and the artist himself introduced in a back view, which was pronounced a likeness. But it was to Mamie that I devoted the best of my attention; and it was with her I made my chief success. <sep>What task took more than three hours to complete?<sep>Drawing the picture

Q: Einstein and Maric married in January 1903. In May 1904, the couple's first son, Hans Albert Einstein, was born in Bern, Switzerland. Their second son, Eduard, was born in Zurich in July 1910. In 1914, the couple separated; Einstein moved to Berlin and his wife remained in Zurich with their sons. They divorced on 14 February 1919, having lived apart for five years. Eduard, whom his father called "Tete" (for petit), had a breakdown at about age 20 and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. His mother cared for him and he was also committed to asylums for several periods, including full-time after her death. The marriage with Maric does not seem to have been very happy. In letters revealed in 2015, Einstein wrote to his early love, Marie Winteler, about his marriage and his still strong feelings for Marie. In 1910 he wrote to her that "I think of you in heartfelt love every spare minute and am so unhappy as only a man can be" while his wife was pregnant with their second child. Einstein spoke about a "misguided love" and a "missed life" regarding his love for Marie. Einstein married Elsa Lowenthal on 2 June 1919, after having had a relationship with her since 1912. She was a first cousin maternally and a second cousin paternally. In 1933, they emigrated to the United States. In 1935, Elsa Einstein was diagnosed with heart and kidney problems; she died in December 1936. <sep>Who was called "Tete" in the story?<sep>The father

Q: Let me begin again. I like life on the resort worlds -- always have and, after the upcoming mindwipe, always will. Last year, I rented a small house on Vega IV, a sea world, all islands and reefs and archipelagos, turquoise waters and aquamarine skies, sunrises like symphonies and sunsets like stars gone supernova. There's only one city: called Nuevo Acapulco in La Enciclopedia del Empirio de la Humanidad, it's N'apulco to the locals. The N'apulcans are mostly emigrants from Polaris II; the only difference between them and their Carribbean ancestors is that the ancestors fleeced NorAm tourists. Now the N'apulcans profit from their Hispanic siblings. I don't mean to sound cynical. I suppose I wish to show that I'm still capable of a certain authorial distance, a semblance of dispassionate observation. The following events may indicate otherwise. In fine tourist tradition, most homes on Vega IV are named. Mine was The Sleeping Flamingo, and its outer walls were coral pink. Were they mood-sensitive, they would have changed as I first viewed them. The rental agent, an attractive N'apulcan named Tasha Cortez, was not mood-sensitive either. She said, "It's beautiful, isn't it, Señor Flynn?" My instinct was to gesture curtly with a cupped hand that she lift the wind boat and take me elsewhere. But she was young and attractive (as I have said and may say again) and eager and so happy to be assisting the infamous Bernardo Flynn that I merely raised an eyebrow in mild scepticism. And then, because a playwright cannot resist a promising line, I said, "Your Sleeping Flamingo should be put to sleep." <sep>What is the full name of the city Tasha Cortez came from?<sep>N'apulco

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.) |

How to know the difference between soft law and hard law (international law )
Identify the type of document or agreement.
One simplistic distinction between soft law and hard law states that hard law is legally binding, while soft law is not. This distinction can lead scholars into a semantic debate over whether any agreement that isn't legally binding can rightfully be called a law.
Nonetheless, some types of agreements are automatically considered hard law. Treaties are a prime example of an agreement traditionally considered hard law by default.
