who plays the yellow power ranger in the 2017 movie | Power Rangers (film) Saban's Power Rangers[4] (or simply Power Rangers) is a 2017 American superhero film based on the franchise of the same name, directed by Dean Israelite and written by John Gatins. It is the third Power Rangers film, and is a reboot. The film features the main characters of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series with a new cast, starring Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Becky G, Ludi Lin, Bill Hader, Bryan Cranston, and Elizabeth Banks. | Most reviewers have awarded the action-packed epic four or five stars, with The Daily Telegraph describing it as a "Krakatoan eruption of craziness".
The film sees British actor Tom Hardy take on Mel Gibson's role as "Road Warrior" Max Rockatansky.
Charlize Theron also appears in the futuristic drama, which is set for release in the UK and US on Friday.
Also awarding it five stars, Time Out's David Ehrlich said watching director George Miller's film was like "a tornado tearing through a tea party".
He added: "Fury Road steers this macho franchise in a brilliant new direction, forging a mythical portrait about the need for female rule in a world where men need to be saved from themselves."
Jamie Graham from Total Film said the blockbuster had "some of the greatest action ever put on screen".
He wrote: "In the battle of the 2015 behemoths, the maxed-out madness of Mad Max: Fury Road sets an extraordinarily high bar - then pole-vaults clean over it and smashes the entire rig to smithereens."
Writing for Hollywood bible Variety, Justin Chang said the "word-of-mouth excitement over the film's beautifully brutal action sequences should lend it tremendous commercial velocity".
And The Guardian's critic Peter Bradshaw awarded four stars and said it was "like Grand Theft Auto revamped by Hieronymus Bosch".
Bradshaw admitted on Twitter: "Slightly embarrassed with myself at how very much I enjoyed the barking Mad Max: Fury Road." |
What kind of needlework was used in the creation of the Bayeux Tapestry? | It was commissioned by Odo, the Bishop of Bayeux and first Earl of Kent, employing natives from Kent who were learned in the Nordic traditions imported in the previous half century by the Danish Vikings. | Prayer of Saint Francis The anonymous text that is usually called the Prayer of Saint Francis (or Peace Prayer, or Simple Prayer for Peace, or Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace) is a widely known Christian prayer for peace. Often associated with the Italian Saint Francis of Assisi (c. 1182 – 1226), but entirely absent from his writings, the prayer in its present form has not been traced back further than 1912.[1] Its first known occurrence was in French, in a small spiritual magazine called La Clochette (The Little Bell), published by a Catholic Church organization in Paris named La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe (The League of the Holy Mass). The author's name was not given, although it may have been the founder of La Ligue, Father Esther Bouquerel. The prayer was heavily publicized during both World War I and World War II.[2] It has been frequently set to music by notable songwriters and quoted by prominent leaders, and its broadly inclusive language has found appeal with diverse faiths encouraging service to others.[1][3][4] |
Presidential pardoning powers. What is their extent and what was the reasoning behind originally granting US Presidents such powers? | > For a political system that places so much emphasis on separating the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches While they're clearly defined & separate *powers*, the idea of checks & balances *between* the branches of government is a fundamental principle of US government. Every branch has the ability to override & limit abuses by the others. A pardon is how the executive can respond to unjust laws passed by the legislature and unjust trials by the courts. | Commander-in-chief According to Article II, Section 2, Clause I of the Constitution, the President of the United States is “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States.”[52] Since the National Security Act of 1947, this has been understood to mean all United States Armed Forces. U.S. ranks have their roots in British military traditions, with the President possessing ultimate authority, but no rank, maintaining a civilian status, other than the title of Commander in Chief.[53] The exact degree of authority that the Constitution grants to the President as Commander in Chief has been the subject of much debate throughout history, with Congress at various times granting the President wide authority and at others attempting to restrict that authority.[54] |
Florida's Tourism Industry Reeling from Frances | Whether it's Mickey Mouse or Shamu, Florida has built its economy on tourism. Hotels, theme parks and other attractions say they expect major losses from last weekend's Hurricane Frances, which struck during the usually lucrative Labor Day holiday.

In what magazine did Tesla talk about reflecting electricity off of submarine's hulls? | Tesla was incorrect in his assumption that high frequency radio waves would penetrate water but Émile Girardeau, who helped develop France's first radar system in the 1930s, noted in 1953 that Tesla's general speculation that a very strong high frequency signal would be needed was correct stating "(Tesla) was prophesying or dreaming, since he had at his disposal no means of carrying them out, but one must add that if he was dreaming, at least he was dreaming correctly.":266 | Based on Tesla's patents and other ideas they agreed to back him financially and handle his patents. |
who wrote the first testament of the bible | Old Testament The Old Testament (abbreviated OT) is the first part of Christian Bibles, based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible (or Tanakh), a collection of ancient religious writings by the Israelites[1][need quotation to verify] believed by most Christians and religious Jews to be the sacred Word of God.[2] The second part of the Christian Bible is the New Testament. | New Testament The Pauline epistles are the thirteen New Testament books that present Paul the Apostle as their author.[note 2] Six of the letters are disputed. Four are thought by most modern scholars to be pseudepigraphic, i.e., not actually written by Paul even if attributed to him within the letters themselves. Opinion is more divided on the other two disputed letters (2 Thessalonians and Colossians).[22] These letters were written to Christian communities in specific cities or geographical regions, often to address issues faced by that particular community. Prominent themes include the relationship both to broader "pagan" society, to Judaism, and to other Christians.[23] |
What was invented by Savery? | The first commercially successful true engine, in that it could generate power and transmit it to a machine, was the atmospheric engine, invented by Thomas Newcomen around 1712. | Pencil As a technique for drawing, the closest predecesor to the pencil was Silverpoint until in 1565 (some sources say as early as 1500), a large deposit of graphite was discovered on the approach to Grey Knotts from the hamlet of Seathwaite in Borrowdale parish, Cumbria, England.[4][5][6][7] This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be sawn into sticks. It remains the only large-scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form.[8] Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead. Consequently, it was called plumbago (Latin for "lead ore").[9][10] Because the pencil core is still referred to as "lead", or a "lead", many people have the misconception that the graphite in the pencil is lead,[11] and the black core of pencils is still referred to as lead, even though it never contained the element lead.[12][13][14][15][16][17] The words for pencil in German (bleistift), Irish (peann luaidhe), Arabic (قلم رصاص qalam raṣāṣ), and some other languages literally mean lead pen. |

What did the Gulf War inadvertently do in the early 1990s? | Prior to 1990 Saudi Arabia played an important role in restraining the many Islamist groups that received its aid. | History of the Ottoman Empire during World War I The Ottoman Empire participated in World War I as one of the Central Powers. The Ottoman Empire entered the war by carrying out a surprise attack on Russia's Black Sea coast on 29 October 1914, with Russia responding by declaring war on 5 November 1914. Ottoman forces fought the Entente in the Balkans and the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I. The Ottoman Empire's defeat in the war in 1918 was crucial in the eventual dissolution of the empire in 1921. |
Ryan Dow has signed a deal with Ross County until the end of the season. | The forward spent nine years with Dundee United before leaving Tannadice when his contract ended in the summer.
Dow, 25, who made 21 appearances for United last season, has been training at Dingwall for the past three weeks.
"Ryan has been with us for the last few weeks while we assessed his fitness and we are delighted he has agreed to join," said Ross County manager Jim McIntyre.
"Ryan has fitted in really well and we think we are getting a great player who will add to our already strong attacking options." | Ryan Taylor, 30, who was serving a 55-month sentence, was found in his cell at Featherstone Prison in April.
His grandmother Susan Palmer said the family was told by prison staff he had had a heart attack, but they want a full inquiry.
The Prison Service said police were investigating.
Mrs Palmer, 81, of Stoke-on-Trent, said they had heard "rumours" Ryan had been attacked by other inmates and also had glue put in his mouth.
She said her daughter, Ryan's mother, was not told he was in hospital until five days after the incident on 29 April. He spent three weeks in intensive care.
"Ryan was a healthy, strapping lad before he went in, so it is hard to believe he had a heart attack," she said.
Mrs Palmer fears he will never recover and said family members were "devastated".
"He is not in a coma, but he might as well be. He can't talk, he can't move and is just blinking," she said.
Taylor, of Berryhill, Stoke, had served 15 months of his sentence for burglary, false imprisonment, wounding and affray.
The Prison Service said: "The police are investigating this incident, so it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."
It added: "The justice secretary has been clear that safety in prisons is fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system and a vital part of our reform plans.
"There are a number of factors that need to be tackled. We are determined to make sure our prisons are safe and places of rehabilitation."
Staffordshire Police said officers were investigating the circumstances of Ryan's collapse after the case had been referred to them by Featherstone and they "were working with the prison to understand the facts". |

A letter written to the UN Security Council has offered an additional justification for an RAF drone attack in Syria, which killed two Britons. | British ambassador to the UN Matthew Rycroft said it was lawful as part of a "collective self-defence of Iraq".
The RAF attack last month killed its target - Cardiff-born Reyaad Khan, 21 - and also Ruhul Amin, 26, from Aberdeen.
On Monday, David Cameron said Khan was killed because he was planning attacks and posed a direct threat to the UK.
Since Mr Cameron told the Commons of the deaths he has come under pressure from Labour MPs to publish the legal advice behind the action.
It was the first targeted UK drone attack on a British citizen.
It is believed Khan and Amin had travelled to Syria to fight for the Islamic State (IS) group, also known as ISIL.
In his letter Mr Rycroft reiterated Mr Cameron's assertion that there was a direct threat to the UK, but also added: "ISIL is engaged in an ongoing armed attack against Iraq, and therefore action against ISIL in Syria is lawful in the collective self-defence of Iraq".
Two years ago, MPs rejected possible UK military action in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad's government. Last September, MPs approved British participation in air strikes against IS targets in Iraq only.
Although MPs rejected military action in Syria, Mr Cameron said Attorney General Jeremy Wright had agreed there was a "clear legal basis" for the RAF strike to go ahead.
The human rights group Reprieve said the legal justification for the attack seemed to be changing, and Mr Rycroft's letter demonstrated the need for a full explanation from the government. | Anthony Grainger, of Bolton, was shot in the chest during a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) operation in Culcheth, Cheshire, on 3 March 2012.
Liverpool Crown Court heard GMP was "committed to learning lessons".
Anne Whyte QC, for the force, said: "No commander or firearms officer goes to work wishing to injure or kill."
Mr Grainger was under surveillance as part of Operation Shire, set up to target an organised crime gang believed to be conspiring to commit armed robberies.
He was shot through the windscreen of a stolen Audi in a car park.
In her closing statement, Ms Whyte said an inaccurate briefing to firearms officers from the National Crime Agency (NCA) "contained avoidable errors".
She said: "The team relied on sensitive intelligence from the NCA. Some (of it) was inaccurate and out of date. The team received it in good faith."
But there was no cover up or culture of secrecy at GMP. Ms Whyte added: "The worst is always assumed - misjudgements immediately characterised as more sinister."
"We are conscious that errors have occurred... GMP is committed to learning lessons from the untimely death of Anthony Grainger."
The public inquiry has heard from 80 witnesses since hearings began in January.
Inquiry chairman Judge Teague will now begin the process of writing his report.
Mr Grainger's inquest was converted to a public inquiry in March 2016 by then-Home Secretary Theresa May. |
Michel Platini has been given permission to address European football's governing body Uefa when it meets this week - despite the former president being banned from all football activity. | Frenchman Platini, 61, was head of Uefa until his ban for breaching ethics rules over a £1.3m "disloyal payment".
Uefa is meeting to select the former France midfielder's successor.
It asked Fifa for permission for its ex-leader to attend the gathering.
"The Fifa ethics committee has informed Uefa that Michel Platini will be allowed to address the 12th Extraordinary Uefa Congress in Athens on 14 September," it said in a statement.
"A request for Mr Platini's attendance had been recently made by Uefa and we welcome this decision," it added.
The ethics committee of world governing body Fifa handed down an initial eight-year ban for Platini and Fifa's then-president Sepp Blatter last year.
It related to a payment of 2m Swiss Francs Blatter made to the Frenchman in 2011.
The two have always denied wrongdoing and said the payment was made for consultancy work Platini had carried out for Blatter between 1998 and 2002, and that they had a "gentleman's agreement" on when the balance was settled.
But the ethics committee felt the pair had demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions.
Charges included conflict of interest, false accounting and non-co-operation, with investigators submitting a file of more than 50 pages.
The bans were later reduced to six years on appeal to Fifa, then four years in a further appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The issue is still under investigation by Swiss prosecutors.

Perthshire-based construction group Hadden has posted a rise in turnover and profits following a "satisfactory" year. | The company said turnover rose by more than 26% to almost £22.4m in the year to the end of March 2016.
Pre-tax profits climbed by more than £110,000 to £793,000.
Aberuthven-based Hadden said its results had been boosted by a general improvement in construction industry activity.
In its accounts published at Companies House, the company said: "The speculative housing sector's recovery has allowed the company to progress completion of dwellings at their existing land bank, and purchase a further site for mixed housing development."
It added: "The results for the year and the financial position at the year end were considered satisfactory by the directors who expect to maintain the company's position in the foreseeable future."
Hadden has worked on a number of high-profile projects in recent years, including the internal refurbishment of Hutcheson's Hall in Glasgow's Merchant City and restoration of the art deco Birks Cinema in the centre of Aberfeldy.
Current projects include a new £3m community hub in East Calder, West Lothian, and a luxury apartment development at the former Eastern Primary School in Broughty Ferry. | Police and Environmental Crime Unit workers searched a site near Dungannon.

The Royal Shakespeare Company's (RSC) latest production of The Tempest will feature a CGI version of the character Ariel for the first time. | Actor Mark Quartley will wear a motion caption suit on stage and the movements of his Ariel will be projected on and around the stage.
Technology will enable the CGI Ariel to fly and morph into different versions of the spirit.
Simon Russell Beale will play Prospero in the play which opens in November.
It will mark the first time he has appeared in an RSC play for 23 years.
The company said they aim "to break new boundaries in theatre-making" with their production and that it is "the very first live motion capture performance appearing in a major classical stage production".
They have been working on the development of the production since September 2015 with The Imaginarium Studios.
Speaking in rehearsals, Quartley admitted they were "still trying to work out the dynamic, the relationship between Prospero and Ariel and the avatar of Ariel and how that 'menage a trois works'. It's a bit confusing at the moment but it's getting clearer and clearer the more we do it."
Beale, who played the role of Ariel last time he performed The Tempest with the RSC, said he was excited about the challenge the new technology brought.
"He's (Ariel's) my closest mate on stage so we have to work out what I feel about that but I'm very positive, I've very excited about it."
The production is directed by RSC artistic director Gregory Doran who said it was "great" to be "able to use this new technology to find a different means of expression".
The play opens in November in Stratford-Upon-Avon and concludes Shakespeare's 400th anniversary year.
It will be broadcast live to cinemas across the UK and Europe on 11 January 2017, followed by replayed screenings around the world. | Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream) Puck is a clever, mischievous fairy, sprite or jester that personifies the wise knave. In the play, Shakespeare introduces Puck as the "shrewd and knavish sprite" and "that merry wanderer of the night". Puck is the one who is first introduced in the fairies' story and creates the drama of the lovers' story by breaking up a young couple lost in an enchanted forest, as well as by replacing Bottom's head with that of an ass. Similarly, Bottom is performing in a play intended to be presented as a lover's story, as well as interacting with Titania twice in the opening dialogue of Act 2 Scene 1 as "he". |

A Pennsylvania man has survived a horrific car crash that killed his girlfriend by crawling to a road three days after the accident. | Indiana state police found Kevin Bell, 39, along a US road three days after he and his girlfriend, Nikki K Reed, lost control of the car and struck a tree.
Ms Reed, 37, died in the crash and Mr Bell sustained leg injuries that had prevented him from seeking help.
The couple had been reported missing by Ms Reed's family.
Family members said that Ms Reed, a mother of three, had been expected to return home from a trip to Dover, Pennsylvania, where she had picked up Mr Bell.
She was last heard from on her trip back to Seymour, Indiana, on Saturday. Mr Bell's family had also been unable to reach him since Saturday.
Kristie Bevers, Ms Reed's friend, said she missed a call from her on Saturday morning.
"It bothers me because I could've talked to her. I could've heard her voice one more time," Ms Bevers said.
Mr Bell appeared to lose control of the car, which slid down an embankment and struck a tree, killing Ms Reed.
He managed to crawl to a road three days after the accident and was taken to hospital. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening, police said. | The man - who has not been named but is thought to be in his 60s or 70s - was found late on Friday evening on Austin Close in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

Why can't terrible teachers be fired? | Teacher here. Teachers can be "fired". I think there is a big misconception with how evaluations and tenure work in a public school setting. Speaking from my own experience, there has been a huge shift towards data collection and goal setting in a number of areas for educators. This in part is to ensure that students are getting the best education & making growth, but also to train teachers to become reflective in their teaching. That being said, if you are a good teacher chances are this is no problem. I'm sure there are teachers that sneak by, but in time their scores or demeanor will sell them out. So due to this process, it is possible for "terrible" or ineffective teachers to be fired. I believe these evaluation processes have been created in part to support a PS in letting go of teachers. Edit: I should note that my state does not have a strong teacher union. | The union welcomed moves by the Scottish government to reduce workloads but said it was unlikely to have an impact this session.
It argued that a "very large" number of its members had voted in favour of action short of a strike.
Education Secretary John Swinney said there was "no justification whatsoever" for the move.
A total of 40.8% of SSTA (Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association) members voted in the ballot, 91% of whom voted in favour of taking industrial action.
Mr Swinney has urged SSTA members not to participate in the industrial action.
Earlier in the month, he said: "I have taken swift action in response to feedback from teachers and others, to de-clutter the curriculum guidance and review the workload demands placed on teachers by local authorities.
"As these measures bed in, I ask teachers to continue to work with us to ensure that together we can create more time to teach our young people, and help contribute to closing the attainment gap."
But the SSTA's general secretary Seamus Searson said the union had "no option" but to take part in industrial action. |

A former Derbyshire County Council leader who falsified his expenses is fronting a campaign in the upcoming elections. | Robin Baldry was given a suspended jail sentence in 2012 for over-claiming on mileage and meals and banned from any public office for five years.
He has now put out leaflets backing independent candidates for High Peak Borough Council and seeking donations.
Baldry, who is not standing, has not commented.
The former Conservative councillor was chairman of the county council from June 2009 to April 2011. The offences took place between 2005 and 2010.
In December 2012, he admitted two counts of theft which amounted to more than £2,200 and was given an 18-week suspended prison sentence.

Two men have been jailed for fatally stabbing a scrapyard owner in a "callous attack". | Steven Woodhouse, 30, died after being attacked at his yard in Park Lane, Westcliff, Essex, on 2 June.
Bradley Johnson, 48, formerly of Old School Court, Wraysbury, Staines, and Paul Sultana, 46, of Green Lane, Ilford, were both convicted of murder and robbery at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Johnson was jailed for 28 years and Sultana for 25 years.
"The evidence has demonstrated that Johnson and Sultana intended to murder him," said Det Ch Insp Simon Werrett from Essex Police.
"This was not a drugs robbery gone wrong, but a callous attack on a family man, who had everything to look forward to."
During the trial, the court heard Mr Woodhouse had staggered from his scrapyard to his home on nearby Park Road, where he collapsed in front of his pregnant girlfriend.
He was given treatment at the scene but later died in hospital.

Narrow lanes are being installed on the M1 to allow work on a £112m motorway upgrade scheme to be carried out. | The temporary lanes are being introduced between junctions 32 at Rotherham and 34 at Sheffield.
Under the scheme, electronic overhead signs will be installed and the hard shoulder converted into an extra lane from junctions 32 to 35a, Stocksbridge.
Highways England said it would reduce congestion and offer more reliable journey times.
More than 110,000 vehicles use the section between junctions 32 and 35a each day, according to the agency.
A 50mph speed restriction is in place while the narrow lanes are being installed over the next two days.
Work on the whole project is expected to be finished next winter.
When completed, motorists will see electronic overhead signs showing variable speed limits and road traffic information.
Andy Kirk, from the agency, said: "Work on the scheme is progressing well.
"When complete, road users will benefit from reduced congestion and more reliable journey times as a result of the hard shoulder being converted to an extra lane and variable mandatory speed limits being used to keep traffic moving."
The project is one of two schemes across Yorkshire to upgrade the M1 into a smart motorway.
Similar arrangements are also being implemented between junctions 39 and 42 in West Yorkshire and work on this stretch of the motorway is expected to be completed at the end of autumn.
But in 2013, one of West Yorkshire Police's high-ranking officers, Ch Insp Mark Bownass, said allowing motorists to drive on the hard shoulder of the M1 motorway would put lives "in danger". | It called on the government to grant all councils the power to introduce a daily rate for companies, in an effort to reduce road delays.
Currently only authorities in London and Kent can do so without having to first get government approval.
Councillor Peter Box said councils were being "hamstrung" by a lack of powers.
Most councils currently have to receive permission from the secretary of state for transport before being able to introduce so-called lane rental schemes.
The LGA - which represents more than 370 councils in England and Wales - said the current process was "cumbersome and bureaucratic".
Making it easier to charge utility companies would give them an added incentive to complete work as quickly as possible, it added.
LGA transport spokesman Councillor Box said there is a need for "robust and decisive action".
"Councils know their areas best and should be able to make decisions about traffic locally," he said.
"This means they need the option of being able to introduce lane rental schemes without secretary of state approval, which is time-consuming."
He added: "Expanding the lane rental scheme nationwide would incentivise utility companies to do the job right first time around and help get our traffic moving again."
The money generated through the charges could then be used to fund measures aimed at reducing future roadwork problems.
The LGA said the scheme in London has been a major success, significantly reducing levels of severe disruption caused by roadworks.
It estimates councils spend nearly a fifth of their maintenance budgets - approximately £220m - on tackling poorly-executed utility roadworks. |

In these fractious pre-election days, Republicans and Democrats both have a desire to keep their nominating conventions on message. And that's often the case. But at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, the script was thrown out the window. The main flashpoint of the convention was the war in Vietnam. Thousands of anti-war protesters had gathered six miles away on Michigan Street. Fences, barbed wire and a strong police force kept them back from the delegate gathering at Chicago's International Ampitheater. And a telephone and taxi strike kept delegates and reporters inside in the dark for hours about what was going on outside. Chicago police broke up a protest outside the Hilton hotel with tear gas and clubs. When footage eventually arrived at the convention, delegates reacted first with disbelief, then anger.

Police say the group was coordinated by two Albanian members of IS in Syria.
One of those arrested was later released.
Israel had been set to play in Shkoder, close to the Montenegro border, on Saturday but security concerns led to the match being moved to Elbasan, nearer to the capital, Tirana.

"We're hoping that will be one of the [friendly] games," said Wales assistant manager Osian Roberts.
"It's quite obvious to see the similarities with Russia so we're trying to mirror the games in the tournament with the preparation games."

Russia will be Wales' final Group B opponents in Euro 2016 on 20 June in Toulouse, following games against Slovakia (11 June) and England (16 June).
Wales' preparations for the finals began with a 3-2 loss to the Netherlands at Cardiff City Stadium in November.
There are two friendly dates designated in March, with a final warm-up match likely to be staged at the end of May, preferably at home.
Ukraine booked their place in the finals by beating Slovenia in the play-offs. They finished third in their group behind Spain and Slovakia.
"It's important that the friendly games are a useful exercise for us in preparation for the summer," added Roberts on BBC Radio Wales.
"Ukraine would be a perfect preparation game for us, no doubt about that."
Wales and Ukraine have met twice before in 2001, with both games ending 1-1 during the 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign. |

Eleven Madison Park: Daniel Humm | Daniel Humm dropped out of school at 14 to become a competitive cyclist, and supported himself by cutting vegetables and making soup stock at fine restaurants in Switzerland. When he eventually realized he'd never become a world-class cyclist, he pivoted to the equally competitive world of fine dining, and soon became a rising young chef in Switzerland, and then San Francisco. In 2006, he was wooed to New York to re-imagine the restaurant Eleven Madison Park, and began drawing raves for his painterly presentations of duck, foie gras, and suckling pig.

It is a gene therapy for a rare disease which leaves people unable to properly digest fats.
The manufacturers say it will be available next year.
Gene therapy has a simple premise. If there is a problem with part of a patient's genetic code then change the code.
However, the field has been plagued with problems. Patients have developed leukaemia and in one trial in the US a teenager died.
In Europe and the US, the therapies are used only in research labs.
Glybera is used to treat lipoprotein lipase deficiency. One in a million people have damaged copies of a gene which is essential for breaking down fats.
It means fat builds up in the blood leading to abdominal pain and life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
The only way to manage the condition is by having a very low-fat diet.
The therapy, developed by UniQure, uses a virus to infect muscle cells with a working copy of the gene.
The European Medicines Agency recommended the therapy was made available for the most severely ill patients earlier in 2012.
UniQure chief executive officer Jorn Aldag said: "The final approval of Glybera from the European Commission marks a major step forward in making gene therapies available not only for lipoprotein lipase deficiency, but also for a large number of rare diseases with a very high unmet medical need."
The company said it would apply for regulatory approval in the US and Canada.
China was the first country to officially sanction a gene therapy. |

The ex-Derby boss started in the stands, but later joined the coaching team on the touchline.
"He came down for moral support, he made his presence felt," said Curtis.
"But there was not too much to say. We would have surprised a lot of people with our performance today."
Clement's appointment as Swansea's third head coach of a turbulent season came in the afternoon before the game at Selhurst Park, but joined Curtis in the dugout during the match.
Swansea led 1-0 at the interval before Wilfried Zaha's stunning equaliser levelled things with less than 10 minutes remaining.
Defender Rangel's winning goal was his first for the club since 2013.
The win lifted Swansea to 19th place - one point away from safety.
"It is a terrific result for us and a huge three points," said Curtis.
"The first-half performance, we were excellent and we could have gone in with more than the one goal. We have been accused of lacking character but we came back and won it and I thought we deserved it.
"In training you can see the players have the ability, it is just the confidence that has been lacking. We deserved some luck today.

A record 88 cruise ships are scheduled to visit Belfast this year - almost double the traffic of five years ago. | The increase underlines the city's growing appeal, say tourism officials.
The liners will bring 150,000 passengers and crew, mostly from the UK, Europe and North America.
Last year Belfast hosted 81 ships.
Belfast Harbour intends to spend about £14m on a new cruise docking facility at Airport Road West.
A planning application was submitted last year but has not yet progressed.
The facility would have the advantage of being able to handle much larger cruise ships than those that have visited since the first cruise ship docked in the city in 1996.
"When we started pitching Belfast to cruise operators in the mid-1990s there was some scepticism about what could be achieved," said Belfast Harbour's commercial director, Joe O'Neill.
"This year we are welcoming a record number of visitors and vessels."
August will be the busiest cruise tourism month, with 24 calls: By the end of the year, almost 600 will have docked in the city. | The crane was used to unload the trucks and to launch the ship after completion , a total of over 2000 lifts in three years . |

Madrid's Anti-Doping Laboratory has been suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) after failing to comply with international standards. | It is the fifth laboratory to be sanctioned recently after Bloemfontein joined Beijing and Lisbon in being suspended from Wada-related activities.
Moscow's laboratory had its accreditation revoked in April.
Wada said the decision was a result of finding the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency non-compliant.
The suspension, which takes effect immediately, prohibits the laboratory from carrying out any Wada-related anti-doping activities including all analyses of urine and blood samples.
However, Wada said Spain's other laboratory in Barcelona has maintained its accreditation.
The Madrid laboratory has 21 days to appeal against the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The decision leaves 30 Wada-accredited labs in the world, with none in Africa. | The club was fined £350 and ordered to forfeit the match by a 3-0 scoreline.
Elebert was banned for one game from 19 December and Glenavon thought that was served by sitting out a reserve match.
The committee considered an appeal against the sanction but ruled that ultimate responsibility for ensuring player eligibility lies with the club.
The committee heard a challenge submitted by Glenavon, with both written and verbal submissions from the club and Association considered, in relation to a breach of Article 22.1 of the Irish FA Disciplinary Code, but this proved unsuccessful.
Glenavon FC have a right of appeal under Article 14 of the Irish FA's Articles of Association.
Elebert's suspension was imposed for accumulating five bookings, with three during reserve games.
The Mourneview Park club said the IFA cleared Elebert to play in the mid-Ulster derby on 26 December, which ended 2-2, but IFA rules state that bans apply to the "more senior team".
Elebert's fifth yellow card, which triggered the suspension, was picked up in a reserve fixture.
However, Rule 15.4 of the IFA Disciplinary Code states: "A player who receives cautions for more than 1 team within his club will have his cautions amalgamated and must serve any suspension......with the more senior team."
Glenavon added that they queried Elebert's eligibility with the Irish FA and he was only selected following its advice.
Portadown were themselves punished for fielding an eligible player against Ards earlier this season.
Robert Garrett scored in a 3-1 win but the midfielder was suspended for the game and the Ports forfeited the points while Ards were awarded a 3-0 victory. |
Star American horse California Chrome has been ruled out of Royal Ascot because of a foot abscess. | The Art Sherman-trained colt was due to run in Wednesday's Prince of Wales's Stakes.
The four-year-old narrowly missed out on a 2014 US Triple Crown, winning the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes before finishing a close fourth in the Belmont Stakes.
He has been lodging at the Newmarket base of trainer Rae Guest.
"We don't know how he did it," said Guest. "It is a shame for everyone involved as he had been working really well."
"California Chrome's absence is a blow for the famous fixture.
"With his brilliant race-record in America and romantic back story - cheaply bred by two 'regular guys', trained by a small-time veteran and the winner of nearly £4m to date - he would have been one of the biggest draws.
"It's a huge disappointment after all the efforts to get here, but the problem is relatively routine and shouldn't affect him long-term, just at Ascot." | Horses in the United States The horse evolved in the Americas, but became extinct between 8,000 and 12,000 years ago. When the Spanish arrived on the American mainland in the 16th century, they brought horses with them and re-established the animals on the continent. |

Haiti: Medical Airlifts Resume | The U.S. military is again airlifting earthquake victims from Haiti to the U.S., Army Col. Gregory Kane says, according to the Associated Press. As the Miami Herald writes, there have been "five worrisome days" for doctors since the flights were suspended: The airlift's suspension forced medical workers in Port-au-Prince to conjure up ways to get patients out of the country while they were treating them. Sunday morning, three children in critical need of care were flown to Philadelphia from Port-au-Prince, but only after private sponsors had been secured. The AP adds that: Exactly what led to the suspension on Wednesday of medical evacuation flights was unclear, though military officials have said some states refused to take patients. Officials in Florida, one of the main destinations for military flights leaving Haiti, say no patients were ever turned away. However, the suspension took effect after Florida Gov. Charlie Crist sent a letter Tuesday to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius saying the state's hospitals were reaching a saturation point.

How long did it take Johnson to respond to Kennedy? | On April 20, Kennedy sent a memo to Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, asking Johnson to look into the status of America's space program, and into programs that could offer NASA the opportunity to catch up. | Steven Woodhouse, 30, died after being attacked at his yard in Park Lane, Westcliff, Essex, on 2 June.
Bradley Johnson, 48, formerly of Old School Court, Wraysbury, Staines, and Paul Sultana, 46, of Green Lane, Ilford, were both convicted of murder and robbery at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Johnson was jailed for 28 years and Sultana for 25 years.
"The evidence has demonstrated that Johnson and Sultana intended to murder him," said Det Ch Insp Simon Werrett from Essex Police.
"This was not a drugs robbery gone wrong, but a callous attack on a family man, who had everything to look forward to."
During the trial, the court heard Mr Woodhouse had staggered from his scrapyard to his home on nearby Park Road, where he collapsed in front of his pregnant girlfriend.
He was given treatment at the scene but later died in hospital.
In a statement, Mr Woodhouse's family said there was "no justice" for his sons "knowing they will never see their father again".
They added there would be "no justice for his family who had to sit through court watching the CCTV of Steven taking his last steps before collapsing or listening to the 999 calls of Steven uttering his last words." |

A treatment which corrects errors in a person's genetic code has been approved for commercial use in Europe for the first time. | The European Commission has given Glybera marketing authorisation, meaning it can be sold throughout the EU.
It is a gene therapy for a rare disease which leaves people unable to properly digest fats.
The manufacturers say it will be available next year.
Gene therapy has a simple premise. If there is a problem with part of a patient's genetic code then change the code.
However, the field has been plagued with problems. Patients have developed leukaemia and in one trial in the US a teenager died.
In Europe and the US, the therapies are used only in research labs.
Glybera is used to treat lipoprotein lipase deficiency. One in a million people have damaged copies of a gene which is essential for breaking down fats.
It means fat builds up in the blood leading to abdominal pain and life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
The only way to manage the condition is by having a very low-fat diet.
The therapy, developed by UniQure, uses a virus to infect muscle cells with a working copy of the gene.
The European Medicines Agency recommended the therapy was made available for the most severely ill patients earlier in 2012.
UniQure chief executive officer Jorn Aldag said: "The final approval of Glybera from the European Commission marks a major step forward in making gene therapies available not only for lipoprotein lipase deficiency, but also for a large number of rare diseases with a very high unmet medical need."
The company said it would apply for regulatory approval in the US and Canada.
China was the first country to officially sanction a gene therapy. | more than 147,000 cases have been confirmed worldwide . |
Italy's highest appeals court has upheld guilty verdicts on 23 Americans, all but one of them CIA agents, accused of kidnapping a terror suspect. | Their case related to the abduction of an Egyptian cleric in Milan in 2003.
The man, known as Abu Omar, was allegedly flown to Egypt and tortured.
The Americans were tried in absentia, in the first trial involving extraordinary rendition, the CIA's practice of transferring suspects to countries where torture is permitted.
The practice has been condemned by human rights groups as a violation of international agreements.
The group of Americans - 22 of whom were CIA agents and one an Air Force pilot - are believed to be living in the US and are unlikely to serve their sentences.
Italy has never requested their extradition but they will be unable to travel to Europe without risking arrest.
The group include the former station chief of CIA operations in Milan, Robert Seldon Lady.
At the time, he said that his opposition to the proposal to kidnap the imam was overruled.
The court upheld the sentences of the lower court which had sentenced all of them to seven years in prison, apart from Seldon Lady, who was given a nine-year sentence.
The Court of Cassation also ruled that five senior Italian secret service agents - including the former head of the country's military intelligence agency - should be tried for their role in the kidnapping.
Nicolo Pollari resigned over the affair in which Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, an Egyptian imam also known as Abu Omar, was snatched from a Milan street.
Abu Omar says he was tortured for seven months in Egypt. | more than 650,000 cases have been reported worldwide ; more than 30,200 people have died and more than 139,000 have recovered , with the US having overtaken China and Italy to have the highest number of confirmed cases in the world . |

Alliance offices and members have been targeted a number of times since a vote on the flying of the union flag at Belfast City Hall in December 2012.
The party said the latest threats would not intimidate them.
"The irony is that this happened during Culture Night, a night when Belfast came together as a city, shared space and gave us a glimpse of what is possible when we work together," Mr McDonough-Brown said.
"These people are afraid of what Alliance stands for. Their attempt at intimidation will not succeed."
Mr Morrow said those responsible "offer Belfast nothing and only wish to see a return to the dark days of the past."

"However, if we receive information that a person's life may be at risk, we will inform them accordingly. We never ignore anything which may put an individual at risk." |
