A Question as Rice Visits: Do We Need Europe?
Condoleezza Rice faces tough challenges in her first trip abroad as Secretary of State. Chief among them: patching up relations with European nations largely opposed to the war in Iraq. But is all her diplomacy worth the effort? We host a discussion on U.S.-European relations. Does the U.S. need Europe? Guests: Peter Ford, chief European Correspondent, Tthe Christian Science Monitor Robert Kagan, senior associate, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; author, Of Paradise and Power John Mearsheimer, political science professor at University of Chicago; author, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics
English-speaking countries are so economically powerful, mainly through influence of the United States, that most countries include English on their products so that tourists or international customers can read them. Interestingly the dominance of English in international business is so great that if someone is going to learn a second language in order to do business overseas it will almost certainly be English. The result is that English is an expected common skill which only reinforces its dominance. For example someone from Germany doing business with someone from France will likely result in them speaking to each other in English, as the German probably doesn't know French and the Frenchman probably doesn't know German, but both likely understand English to some extent. So when a company is considering what to put on their package to make it accessible to non-native speakers it will almost always be English.

Known as the "Father of Texas", and the founder of Texas,[1][2] he led the second, and ultimately, the successful colonization of the region by bringing 300 families from the United States to the region in 1825.
Why does symmetry make people look more attractive?
Not 100% sure about this but I think that it is in our genes. Symmetry is associated with healthiness. Back then when it was "only the strongest survive" symmetry was (and is) a sign of a healthy individual with good genes. If you have a healthy partner, you and that person are more likely to create a strong and a healthy descendant that will survive till he/she is able to pass your genes to the next generation.
As our brains got bigger, the shape of our jaw and mouth changed to get out of the way. This made our mouth smaller, but we continued to grow the same amount of teeth. Same number of teeth in a smaller space means they come in compact and crooked.
Bollywood Star Salman Khan Convicted In Hit-And-Run Case
Bollywood star Salman Khan was sentenced Wednesday to five years in prison for driving while drunk over a group of people sleeping on a sidewalk in 2002, killing one of them. A court in Mumbai, India, granted the 49-year-old Khan bail until Friday. Sessions Court Judge D.W. Deshpande found Khan guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and sentenced him to five years in prison. "Taking stock of the evidence the court holds that you were driving the vehicle," he said. "The court also holds that you were under intoxication. All the charges against you are proved." India's legal system does not use juries; innocence (or guilt) is determined by the judge. Khan has maintained that he was neither drunk on the night of the incident nor driving his Toyota Land Cruiser. Several witnesses said he was driving the vehicle. "Finally, justice has been done," lawyer Abha Singh, a petitioner in the case, told reporters. "The law has been upheld." Khan, one of India's most recognizable and bankable movie stars, is also on bail in a separate case involving the shooting of an endangered black buck.
Police officers carried out arrests on Thursday in connection with alleged sex offences against females which occurred between 2008 and 2015. Six men were charged with the rape of a girl under 16 as well as other sexual offences, while a seventh man was charged with conspiracy to rape. Six men - all from Oxford - will appear before Oxford magistrates. They are: Shabir Dogar, 22; Shabaz Khan, 23; Shohab Dogar, 23; Yasin Hamid, 20; Usman Iddris, 22; and Joseph Suraina, 22. Waqas Hussain, 24, of no fixed abode, will appear at Oxford Magistrates' Court on 4 April. Mr Hussain has also been charged with the attempted sexual assault of a girl under 13, as have Shabir Dogar and Shohab Dogar. The raids were part of what the police are calling Operation Nautical. A further 10 men were also arrested on Wednesday as part of the same operation.

Wales believe a friendly with Ukraine would be the perfect preparation for the Euro 2016 tie with Russia.
Discussions have taken place over the prospect of arranging a match in Kiev next March. "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." The fixture has an obvious attraction for Ukraine too, given they will face Northern Ireland in Group C in France next summer. 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.

State supreme court Federal courts may overrule a state court only when there is a federal question, which is to say, a specific issue (such as consistency with the Federal Constitution) that gives rise to federal jurisdiction. Federal appellate review of state supreme court rulings on such matters may be sought by way of a petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States. As the U.S. Supreme Court recognized in Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins (1938), no part of the federal Constitution actually grants federal courts or the federal Congress the power to directly dictate the content of state law (as distinguished from creating altogether separate federal law that in a particular situation may override state law). Clause 1 of Section 2 of Article Three of the United States Constitution describes the scope of federal judicial power, but only extended it to "the Laws of the United States" and not the laws of the several or individual states. It is this silence on that latter issue that gave rise to the American distinction between state and federal common law not found in other English-speaking common law federations like Australia and Canada.
How does a speedometer work?
Speedometers work by linking a flexible cable to the car's transmission. As the engine powers the drive shaft, it spins the cable about it's central axis (can I use axis)? The cable then spins a magnet near the speedometer. The speedometer has a metal needle and a spring that pushes the needle towards 0 mph. As the magnet spins faster, the needle is pulled along with it. The spring prevents the needle from just flying wildly around. The physics behind how the magnet pulls the needle is fairly cool. It involves eddy currents, but it might be too much for ELI5.

what two states donated land for the nations capital the district of columbia
Washington, D.C. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of President George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District.

A Lancashire police officer accused of drink-driving on duty has been sacked.
PC Iain Norton, 41, was dismissed without notice following a hearing over claims he drove a police vehicle whilst over the legal alcohol limit and being unfit to perform duties, police said. Mr Norton, from Wesham, was accused of breaching "fitness for duty" and "discreditable conduct" regulations in the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012. The full findings of the hearing will be published on 20 September. The hearing was held at Leyland police station.
Liam Roberts, 35, was also ordered to perform 180 hours of unpaid work and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for three years. He had pleaded guilty previously to having 874 indecent images. At least 18 of the pictures were Category A, the highest level. He also admitted chatting on line with other abusers and distributing indecent pictures to others between 10 March and 27 September 2016. Roberts, who had served in Police Scotland for eight years, resigned from the force in June this year. At Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Roberts' solicitor, Lena Docherty, told Sheriff Kenneth McGowan the social work report described her client as at low risk of re-offending and that he had already taken steps to address his conduct. Sheriff McGowan told Roberts: "As you will know, given your background, offending of this kind can lead to a custodial sentence, but it is quite clear from the guidance I have been given and the evidence of your undertaking rehabilitation, that the court can consider an alternative to custody."

if we could vibrate at the natural frequency of air could we "phase" through objects?
No. There is literally nothing about that question that makes any scientific sense. Even if air had a "natural frequency", it does not pass through solid objects, so there would be no reason to think a person would either.

How are space rockets steered? I don't see any fins or flaps like on a plane
During launch, the engine nozzles do indeed swivel a bit to help steer-- this is called gimballing. In space, very small thrusters pointing different directions are used to control the orientation of the spacecraft so that engine burns are made in the right direction. There is also a technique called spin-stabiliziaton, where spinning a spacecraft rapidly will keep it stable along the spin axis.

A memorial service to remember seven miners killed in the Lofthouse Colliery disaster, near Wakefield, 40 years ago has taken place.
The men died when the seam they were working flooded after they had cut into an abandoned shaft, releasing three million gallons of trapped water. The service was held at Outwood Parish Church, Wakefield. A further service was held on Sunday in the village of Wrenthorpe at the site where the men died. Frederick Armitage, 41, Colin Barnaby, 36, Frank Billingham, 48, Sydney Brown, 36, Charles Cotton, 49, Edward Finnegan, 40 and Alan Haigh, 30, all died in the disaster on 21 March 1973. Only Mr Cotton's body was recovered from the disaster. The bodies of the six other men remain in the mine. After the service, a reunion for miners and the families of the men that died will be held at the Ledger Lane Working Men's Club, where the Lofthouse 2000 Brass Band will perform. The service earlier was held at the memorial garden in Wrenthorpe and was led by the Bishop of Pontefract. A procession of ex-miners and local dignitaries are expected to walk for more than a mile from the memorial garden to a church in Alverthorpe, where a documentary film will be shown of the disaster. Eddie Downes, member of the Lofthouse Colliery Action Group and a mining historian and engineer, said more than 1,000 people from across the country, many from the mining industry, were expected to attend both services. "They all feel the pain. It's a unique thing in the mining communities. They all feel for each other," he said. "The services are extremely important. It gives them some continuity to how it unfolded and will complete the picture."

The Champions League 2017 final will be Cardiff's biggest event yet, the first minister has said, with 100 days to go until the city hosts the match.
World football's biggest club game will be played at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 3 June. Carwyn Jones told BBC Wales it was "challenging" but preparations were "going well". "It's a going to be a great showcase for Wales," the first minister added. Thousands of fans are expected to pour into the Welsh capital for the final, which takes place two days after the women's Champions League final at the Cardiff City Stadium on 1 June. The 100-day countdown to the women's event was kicked off by a choir's flash mob performance in Cardiff with the trophy on Tuesday. Wales forward Gareth Bale starred as Real Madrid beat city rivals Atletico in the 2016 final at the San Siro stadium in Milan. And Mr Jones said it was the very fact no one yet knows who will star in this year's final which makes the planning so uncertain. "This is the biggest [event Cardiff has hosted] to my mind, no question about that," he said. "It's the sheer numbers of people, the sheer size of the event and the fact that we don't know who's going to be in the final so we don't know where the fans are going to come from." He said the planners were talking to all the authorities and organisations necessary to make the event a success. "Cardiff is the smallest city to have hosted the event. It's always challenging, of course, but we'll get there and we'll be offering a fantastic welcome to all who come to our capital city," he added.

what is the most recent os for mac
macOS Launched in 2001 as Mac OS X, the series is the latest in the family of Macintosh operating systems. Mac OS X succeeded "classic" Mac OS, which was introduced in 1984, and the final release of which was Mac OS 9 in 1999. An initial, early version of the system, Mac OS X Server 1.0, was released in 1999. The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, followed in March 2001. Releases were code named after big cats from the original release up until OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Beginning in 2013 with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, releases have been named after landmarks in California.[10] Apple changed the original name "Mac OS X" to "OS X" in 2012 and then to "macOS" in 2016, adopting the nomenclature that it uses for their other operating systems, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The latest version of macOS is macOS High Sierra, which was publicly released in September 2017.

Several roads are still closed across central Scotland because of flooding, Stirling Council has warned.
The A81 is closed at Gartmore, near Aberfoyle, after the River Forth broke its banks. And the Crow Road over the Campsie Fells, from Fintry to Lennoxtown, has been closed by a landslip caused by the heavy rain. The Met Office has issued more rain warnings for Monday into Tuesday in Tayside and other areas of Scotland. Further road closures in Stirling include the B829 at Aberfoyle Primary School, cutting off the community of Kinlochard, but Stirling Council said the school remained open. The B823 Cornton Road is closed at the level crossing, with access available from Causeway head only. And the B822 between Thornhill and Kipped station is also closed by flooding. Communities badly hit by flooding over the weekend include Bridge of Allan and Aberfoyle. There are renewed rain warnings in place for parts of Scotland already affected by flooding due to Storm Desmond. The latest yellow "be aware" rain warnings are not expected to be as heavy or as prolonged as recent downpours. However, due to the saturated nature of the ground and high river levels, the Met Office said further localised flooding and disruption to transport was possible. The first warning runs from 17:00 on Monday to 05:00 on Tuesday with the second valid from 06:00 on Wednesday to 18:00 on Thursday. The alerts cover Tayside, Fife, Strathclyde, the Borders and south west Scotland.
Traffic between Scotland and England faced disruption over the weekend as the work was carried out removing Bothwellpark Road Bridge near Hamilton. The structure had to be taken down so the motorway could be widened and a new bridge has been put in place. Transport Scotland said the work had gone well and the M74 reopened just before midnight on Sunday. A spokesman said: "The work to demolish the Bothwellpark road bridge has progressed well over the course of the weekend, with clean-up operations under way during Sunday. "Transport Scotland would like to thank road users for heeding advice and staying clear of the area and for their patience while the work has been carried out." The main part of the bridge was taken down overnight and on Saturday morning after the section of motorway between J4 Maryville and J5 Raith closed at 20:00 on Friday. Signed diversons were put in place and extra rail services were laid on to reduce congestion.

A policeman sexually assaulted a teenager in her home while her parents were in the next room, a jury heard.
Keith Burgess, a neighbourhood officer in Southampton, allegedly asked another girl for naked photos as "payment" for helping her family. The married 42-year-old used his position to befriend parents and gain access to their daughters, the trial at Guildford Crown Court was told. He denies grooming, sexual assault, making indecent photos and misconduct. The court heard a 16-year-old was sexually assaulted twice at her family home in May 2015. On one occasion Mr Burgess is said to have put his hands under her clothing in the kitchen while her parents were watching TV in the lounge. The teenager told her family and PC Burgess was arrested while on duty. His mobile phone revealed contact with two other teenagers, including messages of a sexual nature, the jury heard. Prosecutors said he asked the girls, aged 15 and 17, to send him naked selfies and paid the younger one a total of £220 as an "allowance". The court heard PC Burgess was "trusted and respected" by families in the Newtown area where he worked. He told police the 16-year-old girl had said it was "OK" to touch her. The officer, of Cheviot Drive, Dibden Purlieu, faces three charges of sexual assault, three of misconduct in public office, one child grooming offence and two charges of making indecent photographs. The trial continues.
Police officers carried out arrests on Thursday in connection with alleged sex offences against females which occurred between 2008 and 2015. Six men were charged with the rape of a girl under 16 as well as other sexual offences, while a seventh man was charged with conspiracy to rape.

Trigger Locks For Smith & Wesson
-- N-P-R's Tovia Smith reports that Smith and Wesson has decided to include trigger locks with its guns beginning next month.

The trigger locks are completely detachable, there's nothing forcing an owner to use them.
Gun laws in Texas Texas has no laws regarding possession of any firearm regardless of age, without felony convictions; all existing restrictions in State law mirror Federal law. A person of any age, except certain Felons, can possess a firearm such as at a firing range. Texas and Federal law only regulate the ownership of all firearms to 18 years of age or older, and regulate the transfer of handguns to 21 years or older by FFL dealers. However, a private citizen may sell, gift, lease etc. a handgun to anyone over 18 who is not Felon. NFA weapons are also only subject to Federal restrictions; no State regulations exist. Municipal and county ordinances on possession and carry are generally overridden (preempted) due to the wording of the Texas Constitution, which gives the Texas Legislature (and it alone) the power to "regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime".[4] Penal Code Section 1.08 also prohibits local jurisdictions from enacting or enforcing any law that conflicts with State statute. Local ordinances restricting discharge of a firearm are generally allowed as State law has little or no specification thereof, but such restrictions do not preempt State law concerning justification of use of force and deadly force.

Scarlets The Llanelli Scarlets were founded in 2003, as one of the five (now four) regional teams created by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU). The Scarlets are affiliated with a number of semi-professional and amateur clubs throughout the area, including Welsh Premier Division sides Llanelli RFC, Carmarthen Quins RFC and Llandovery RFC. Through the 2007–08 season, they played most of their games at Stradey Park in Llanelli, but they have also played matches at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham. The club's new stadium, Parc y Scarlets (English: Scarlets Park), was constructed in nearby Pemberton, and opened in November 2008.[4]
Former staff at a closed steelworks have been awarded £6.25m by an employment judge, their union has said.
More than 1,100 members of the Community union claimed there had been a lack of consultation when SSI's Redcar plant closed. The payout could have been more than £14m but SSI's liquidation means workers will only get the government's contribution. Union general secretary Roy Rickhuss said it was a "deserved victory". "However, as we have said before, this small victory will not compensate for the devastation from the end of steel making," he said. Workers will receive a share of the award from the government's redundancy payments office up to a maximum of 8 weeks' pay, subject to statutory limits and deductions. Other workers were waiting for the outcome of a case being made by the Unite union, Community said. SSI blamed a global slump in the value of steel for its original decision to pause production at the Redcar works. The Teesside furnaces and coke ovens were closed with a loss of 2,200 jobs in October.
The Irish News reported that Emma Pengelly, who was co-opted into the assembly seat, was to receive the payment. She used to work in the Office of the First and Deputy First Ministers.

A DUP spokesperson said: "Emma Pengelly receives a severance payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of her contract of employment. "Mrs Pengelly will receive her severance payment from her former employer in due course as it is a contractual obligation to resign upon having become identified as an election candidate." The new MLA will contest the Stormont election scheduled for next May. While the exact amount has not been published, special advisors who have been in the job at least four years and leave the post under these circumstances are entitled to a severance payment of six months' salary. Mrs Pengelly's annual salary was just under £92,000. As an MLA she will earn £48,000 a year. The TUV leader Jim Allister has said Mrs Pengelly should not take the severance payment.

League Two side Oxford have extended the loan of teenage Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny until the end of March.
The 18-year-old has made eight appearances since joining the U's on loan in January. "I have loved every moment here and I have played a lot of games. I would love to stay here until the end of the season," he told BBC Radio Oxford. Kenny played seven games for League One club Wigan Athletic during a loan spell earlier this season. Oxford are currently vying for promotion in League Two and face Barnsley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final on 3 April.
Sheehan has been struggling with an ankle injury and has returned to Swansea for medical treatment. The 21-year-old initially joined Newport on loan in August with his stay extended until the end of the season in January. He scored seven goals in 25 games for the League Two side. The Wales Under-21 international has made one first team appearances for Swansea in a League Cup tie in 2014. Newport said in a statement: "The club would like to thank Josh for his contribution so far this season and wish him a speedy recovery. "We would like to thank Swansea City for the loan of their young talented player, as we continue to work in partnership with the Premier League club."
It Costs $222,360 To Raise A Child
A middle-income, two-parent family will spend $222,360, on average, to raise a baby born in 2009, according to a government estimate released today. Yes, a number like that screams false precision. Still, some of the broad outlines that go into the estimate are pretty interesting: Housing is the most expensive part of raising a kid. It accounts for 31 percent of the cost, followed by childcare and education (17 percent) and food (16 percent). Read More: The cheapest (and most expensive) places to raise a child The annual cost rises a bit as the child gets older -- from less than $12,000 per year for a baby to more than $13,000 for a teenager. Among urban areas, the Northeast is the most expensive region to raise a child, and the South is the cheapest. Rural areas, which are lumped into a single category, are even cheaper. The cost per child for a two-child family is 25 percent lower than the cost per child for a one-child family. Researchers broke household income into three levels: Less than $56,670; $56,670 to $98,120; and more than $98,120. People in the lower-income group spend 25 percent of their before-tax income on a child; those in the middle-income group spend 16 percent; and those in the higher-income group spend 12 percent. But in absolute terms, spending increases with income. The figures are adjusted for inflation, and costs are calculated through age 17.
-- NPR's Larry Abramson reports that many state welfare officials are responding to Congressional pressure to cut the costs associated with "Women, Infants, and Children," or WIC. WIC provides about 30 dollars a month worth of food supplements to pregnant women and young children. Some states are reducing the cost of the program by not allowing recipients to buy name-brand breakfast cereals.

Twitter Offers New Dimension To Live TV
A number of celebrities have taken to live-tweeting while their pre-taped shows air — including Survivor host Jeff Probst, Mark Cuban on ABC's "Shark Tank," and Anthony Bourdain on Travel Channel's "No Reservations." The audience that has already sprung up on Twitter to turn watching their favorite show into a communal event can now interact directly with one of the people they're tweeting about. It restores the value of watching TV programming live as it airs at a time when secondary options from Hulu to iTunes to DVRs are draining the value of commercials.
ABC's master feed is transmitted in 720p high definition, the native resolution format for The Walt Disney Company's U.S. television properties.
What was the year when Tesla went back to Smiljan?
Tesla's father, in a moment of despair, promised to send him to the best engineering school if he recovered from the illness (his father had originally wanted him to enter the priesthood).
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
Initial Action Not Major Assault Expected
NPR's Robert Siegel speaks with NPR's Brian Naylor about the surprisingly small scale of the initial U.S. assault on Iraq. Naylor reports on President Bush's warning that Americans should expect casualties in the war.
Brownlee argues, "Bringing in deterrence at the level of justification detracts from the law’s engagement in a moral dialogue with the offender as a rational person because it focuses attention on the threat of punishment and not the moral reasons to follow this law."

Jamie Taggart, from the Linn Botanic Gardens at Cove on the Rosneath peninsula, was on a plant hunting expedition near the border with China. Dr Jim Taggart said it would take "very freak circumstances" for his son to be found alive. But he said "someone, somewhere must know something" about what happened. The 41-year-old retained fire fighter was travelling by himself, on hired motorbike taxis. But he knew the area, having travelled there two years before he went missing. His rucksack and passport were found at his guest house in the Vietnamese town of Sapa. Dr Taggart said it was possible eye witnesses "should not have been there", or might not want to "get involved with local police". He has called for anyone with family or friends in the area to pass on any information or rumours they may have heard. "It is very hard to disappear absolutely, completely," he said. But he said he had accepted it was most likely his son had slipped somewhere on a hillside and suffered fatal injuries. People from Cove and Kilcreggan have raised thousands of pounds to fund searches for Mr Taggart.
A strategic town close to the northern city of Aleppo has fallen to Syrian rebels, according to UK-based activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Khan al-Assal was considered the last regime stronghold in the west of Aleppo province. The rebel victory comes after several defeats at the hands of Syrian armed forces. The town lies on a route that links the province to the city of Aleppo. Fighting in Aleppo itself was reported as continuing as both sides attempted to assert control over the city, which is economically the most important in Syria. A rebel group calling itself the Ninth Division announced it had captured Khan al-Assal in an online video. "We the leadership of the Ninth Division announce that the town of Khan al-Assal has been completely liberated," a rebel commander said in a video posted on Youtube. Khan al-Assal was at the centre of allegations in March that chemical weapons were being used, with both sides blaming the other for an attack that left 30 people dead. At the time rebels had launched a major offensive to take the town but were driven back, losing some 200 men in an eight-day battle.
Leaders from around the world are urging Syrian opposition and government groups to hold talks aimed at ending the two-year-old civil war there.

A music shop is giving away 21 pianos after they are played in unison at a "unique" concert.
The pianos - together worth more than £50,000 - are a gift from Millers Music in Cambridge to mark the shop's 160th anniversary. They are being offered to schools and colleges across the region that apply for one before 12 March. King's College Chapel will host the instruments in its 50-minute 21 Piano Nocturne concert on Tuesday. Richard Causton, King's College fellow in music at the University of Cambridge, described it as a "unique event". "The sound and sight of 21 pianos in this wonderful space promises to be really memorable," he said. Young pianists from the Peterborough and Saffron Walden Centres for Young Musicians will take part in the concert. Simon Pollard, managing director of Millers Music, said: "We're thrilled to be collaborating with a prestigious university that celebrates music education. "We are dedicated to encouraging more young people in the region to embrace music, and gifting these pianos to local institutions does just that."
Fête de la Musique The Fête de la Musique, also known as Music Day,[1] Make Music Day[2][3] or World Music Day,[4] is an annual music celebration that takes place on 21 June. On Music Day the citizens of a city or country are allowed and urged to play music outside in their neighborhoods or in public spaces and parks. Free concerts are also organized, where musicians play for fun and not for payment.
What caused Pangea to separate and why did the landmasses separate in those directions?
The answer to both questions is Plate Tectonics. Earth's surface is made up of a series of giant 'plates' of material that slowly movee around the planet. They do this because right below the continents is a layer of rock that is very hot (due to the pressure caused by the continental plates), and not rigid like surface rocks, allowing for very slow movement of the plates resting on top. Over time, these plates drift around the world, periodically merging and breaking apart. Pangaea was only one of many such supercontinents. There were others before that looked very different. _URL_0_ These are the plates that make up our world. the shape of the continents and how they used to look and how they split apart is just a natural result of all of them constantly, slowly moving against each other.
Seafloor spreading Earlier theories (e.g. by Alfred Wegener and Alexander du Toit) of continental drift postulated that continents "ploughed" through the sea. The idea that the seafloor itself moves (and also carries the continents with it) as it expands from a central axis was proposed by Harry Hess from Princeton University in the 1960s.[3] The theory is well accepted now, and the phenomenon is known to be caused by convection currents in the asthenosphere, which is ductile, or plastic, and the brittle lithosphere.[4][clarification needed]

The 24-year-old Ballymena man died in a fall in Nice, France, in the early hours of Monday morning. He had been in the city to see Northern Ireland play Poland in the Euro 2016 tournament. A makeshift memorial marks the spot on the promenade from which the former Cambridge House Grammar School pupil fell. Both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland jerseys and flags, as well as floral tributes, have been left by fans paying their respects. Irish fans also clapped and sang in tribute to Mr Rodgers in the 24th minute of the Republic's game against Sweden on Monday night. The timing was chosen due to his age. Fans watching the game in Belfast's designated fanzone joined in the gesture with a minute long round of applause. Boxer Carl Frampton has joined those welcoming the gesture, tweeting that it was "amazing". Darren Rodgers played football himself with junior side Braid United, from Broughshane in County Antrim. In a tribute on their Facebook page a spokesperson has written: "A man who on and off the pitch would have done anything for you, always great craic and giving his all every game. "We are not just losing a player, today we lose a friend and one of the best people I've ever known." Northern Ireland players Jonny Evans and Michael McGovern paid tribute to Darren Rodgers at Northern Ireland's press conference on Tuesday. It followed tributes from Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill and a number of other players on Monday. Former England striker Robbie Fowler has also paid his respects on Twitter.

Goldman Sachs Won't Be Prosecuted In Fraud Probe
A Senate panel found last year that Goldman Sachs marketed four sets of complex mortgage securities to banks and other investors, but failed to tell clients the securities were very risky. The Justice Department said the "burden of proof to bring a criminal case" could not be met.
The company will pay $830m (£581m) to investors who bought Merck securities between 1999 and 2004. The lawsuit stemmed from statements Merck made about the cardiovascular safety of the painkiller Vioxx. Vioxx was withdrawn from the market in 2004 after evidence showed it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke. In 2011 Merck pleaded guilty to federal charges of violating marketing laws related to its sale of Vioxx. Federal officials accused the company of making false statements and illegally marketing Vioxx as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis to increase sales. Merck said this latest settlement with investors did not constitute an admission of guilt by the company. It still faced a number of individual lawsuits related to Vioxx.

A teenage girl charged with murdering seven-year-old Katie Rough in York has appeared in court.
The 15-year-old girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, appeared via video link at Leeds Crown Court. Katie was found injured near a playing field on Monday. She died a short time later in hospital. The teenager, who is also charged with the possession of an offensive weapon namely a knife, was remanded in youth detention. Live updates on this and other stories from North Yorkshire The girl did not speak during the five-minute hearing as her solicitor confirmed her name when asked by Judge Peter Collier QC. She is next due to appear for a pre-trial hearing at Leeds Crown Court on 16 February. Due to her age, the judge and court officials did not wear gowns or wigs. Katie was found by police after they were called to Alness Drive, in the Woodthorpe area of the city, on Monday afternoon. A number of floral tributes, candles and teddies have been placed in the alleyway which links to the playing field. An online donation site in aid of Katie's family has raised almost £20,000 in three days.
Keith Burgess, a neighbourhood officer in Southampton, allegedly asked another girl for naked photos as "payment" for helping her family. The married 42-year-old used his position to befriend parents and gain access to their daughters, the trial at Guildford Crown Court was told. He denies grooming, sexual assault, making indecent photos and misconduct. The court heard a 16-year-old was sexually assaulted twice at her family home in May 2015. On one occasion Mr Burgess is said to have put his hands under her clothing in the kitchen while her parents were watching TV in the lounge. The teenager told her family and PC Burgess was arrested while on duty. His mobile phone revealed contact with two other teenagers, including messages of a sexual nature, the jury heard. Prosecutors said he asked the girls, aged 15 and 17, to send him naked selfies and paid the younger one a total of £220 as an "allowance". The court heard PC Burgess was "trusted and respected" by families in the Newtown area where he worked. He told police the 16-year-old girl had said it was "OK" to touch her. The officer, of Cheviot Drive, Dibden Purlieu, faces three charges of sexual assault, three of misconduct in public office, one child grooming offence and two charges of making indecent photographs. The trial continues.

Cry (Just a Little) "Cry (Just a Little)" is a song by Dutch dance duo Bingo Players. The song's only lyrics are the repetition of "I know I'm caught up in the middle; I cry just a little when I think of letting go. Oh no, gave up on the riddle; I cry just a little when I think of letting go." They were originally in "Piano in the Dark", a 1988 hit song by Brenda Russell.[1] For this song, the line was performed by Kelli-Leigh (vocals) along with Hal Ritson (back vocals).

M. Night Shyamalan's demise

Mr Dolan, 18, from County Tyrone, was struck by a van in Belfast in 2014. David Lee Stewart, 31, of Gray's Park Avenue, Belfast, was jailed on Wednesday. Stewart was sentenced to three and a half years in prison and another three and a half years on licence. His parents had said after the judgement that they were "disappointed and disgusted" at the length of the sentence. On Thursday, Peter Dolan, Enda's father, told the Stephen Nolan Show, that he "wouldn't rule out" asking for the sentence to be appealed. "You can imagine what happened yesterday, it was all a bit of a shock," he said. "We just have to sit back, reflect and take a bit of advice on it and take a look at it." Mr Dolan said he was "speechless" over the sentence given to Stewart. "This guy drinks and drives, kills somebody and gets three and a half years in prison. That is not a deterrent for anybody in my opinion." Meanwhile, Enda's mother Niamh Dolan told Good Morning Ulster on Thursday morning that she remained "devastated and heartbroken" from his death. "It's very hard to explain our loss. The most difficult thing I find is to go about your normal day-to-day activities and we have to do that because of the other children," she said. "No matter how devastated you feel, you have to put a brave face on, pull yourself together and go out with the others - that's a very hard thing to do sometimes. "I was lucky, really lucky, that I had a brilliant relationship with Enda. We were very, very close. "Sometimes I think I'm almost being punished for that. If I hadn't have known my son so well, and got on with him so well, it might have been easier to cope with him not being here."

Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon has agreed a new three-and-a-half year deal with Celtic.
The former Hearts and Sunderland keeper, 34, has made more than 100 appearances since signing for Celtic on a free transfer in 2014. The Scottish Premiership leaders had rejected two offers for Gordon from Premier League leaders Chelsea in January. And he has now committed himself to Celtic until the summer of 2020. His move to Glasgow followed two years out of the game due to knee problems. After making his Hearts debut in 2002, Gordon received his first senior international cap in 2004 and has made 45 appearances for Scotland. He left Tynecastle in 2007 to join Sunderland in a £9m move.
Ward, 22, has been capped up to under-21 level with Wales and has previously been loaned by Liverpool to Morecambe. He started his career with Wrexham, having a brief loan at Tamworth in 2011, before moving to Anfield the following the year. "I am delighted to get Danny on board," Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes told his club website. "He is a young goalkeeper we have been aware of for some time. We are thankful to Liverpool and [manager] Brendan [Rodgers] in particular for allowing this to happen. "He is someone who is highly regarded at his club and they see the importance of getting him out on loan. Danny now has the task and challenge of playing football at a good level with us. "We have real competition for places in all areas of the team, and we certainly now have that in the goalkeeping position." Ward, who has made six senior appearances in his career, will be competing with Englishman Scott Brown, 30, and Scotsman Jamie Langfield, 35, for the Dons' goalkeeping position.
Two tries from Mark Percival helped St Helens earn a hard-fought Super League victory over Hull FC.
Jamie Shaul went over to put Hull ahead, but Saints led at half-time thanks to James Roby's try from dummy-half and a penalty from Percival. Percival went over after good work from Theo Fages, before Mahe Fonua crossed to reduce the visitors' deficit. But Percival touched down acrobatically from Fages' kick, before Danny Richardson's drop-kick sealed the win. Saints are now almost certain to finish in Super League's top eight, with only Catalans - six points behind with three games to play - able to catch them. Hull, who lost 45-0 when the two sides met in May, were already assured of a top-eight finish, as they stay fourth in the table. The result could have been different had Fetuli Talanoa not had a try correctly disallowed for a push on Tommy Makinson shortly before Percival's second try, but instead Saints held on for a sixth consecutive home victory. St Helens: Lomax; Makinson, Morgan, Percival, Grace; Fages, Richardson; Douglas, Roby, Thompson, Taia, Peyroux, Knowles. Replacements: Walmsley, Amor, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Lee. Hull FC: Shaul; Fonua, Griffin, Tuimavave, Talanoa; Kelly, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Bowden, Washbrook, Minichiello, Manu. Replacements: Watts, Connor, Thompson, Fash. Referee: Phil Bentham
Luke Gale looked to have sealed the match for Castleford when he landed a drop-goal with two minutes remaining to put the visitors 11-10 in front. But Hughes added to earlier scores from Joe Westerman and Rhys Evans to win it. Castleford, for whom Denny Solomona touched down in the first half, must win their last four games to stand any chance of finishing in the top four. Warrington's next fixture is the Challenge Cup final against Hull FC at Wembley on 27 August. Warrington head coach Tony Smith: "It was a tough game but Castleford are one of the best attacking teams in the country and have recently taken the scalps of Hull and Wigan. "To keep them to one try was a big effort. That was probably their final crack at it but it seals our own position in the top four." Castleford head coach Daryl Powell: "It's tough to lose like this and I don't think anyone could have argued if we'd won by a point. "It was a war of attrition but we nullified Warrington's strength for most of the game. We are going to grow from this and the team has a big future." Warrington: Ratchford; Russell, T King, Atkins, Evans; Gidley, Sandow; Hill, Clark, Sims, Currie, Hughes, Westerman. Replacements: Dwyer, Westwood, G King, Bailey. Castleford: Dorn; Hampshire, Crooks, Minikin, Solomona; Chase, Gale; Springer, Milner, Patrick, O Holmes, Savelio, Moors. Replacements: Mariano, McShane, Cook, Millington. Referee: Chris Kendall

Staff absenteeism is a worsening problem for Northern Ireland's 26 councils, according to the annual report of the local government auditor.
It found that it averaged 12 days per employee, a rise of 15%, after falling for the previous five years. The highest absence rate of 17 days was in Carrickfergus Borough Council and the lowest was seven days in Cookstown. Carrickfergus council said it has recently introduced measures to improve the health and well-being of its staff. Between them, Northern Ireland's 26 councils employ 9,700 staff and the statistics in the report relate to the 2012-13 financial year. Carrickfergus was also one of two authorities which did not have "proper arrangements" in place around governance issues. The local government auditor, Louise Mason, said it related to procurement and workforce management, but added the council had put in place procedures to address her concerns. The other council she highlighted over governance in her report was Larne. Among her concerns was its financial planning. She also drew attention to a £292,000 fraud involving Belfast City Council in July 2013. It involved changing the details of bank account held by one of its main contractors, into which the money was paid. The council recovered most of the loss from its insurers. A PSNI investigation concluded there was no evidence to suggest that either council or contractor employees were involved. Responding to the audit report, a spokesperson for Carrickfergus Borough Council said it was "aware of the high levels of sick absence in the year in question but has since put in place a comprehensive package of measures to improve the health and well-being of staff". "This has proven to be successful and has significantly reduced absenteeism," the statement added.
The party said councillor Emmet McDonough-Brown and representative Duncan Morrow were each "hand-delivered" a bullet on Friday night. 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." In a statement, the police said: "We do not discuss the security of any individual. "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."

when did the first home video game come out
Video game console The first video games appeared in the 1960s.[20] They were played on massive computers connected to vector displays, not analog televisions. Ralph H. Baer conceived the idea of a home video game in 1951. In the late 1960s, while working for Sanders Associates, Baer created a series of video game console designs. One of these designs, which gained the nickname of the 1966 "Brown Box", featured changeable game modes and was demonstrated to several TV manufacturers, ultimately leading to an agreement between Sanders Associates and Magnavox.[21] In 1972, Magnavox released the Magnavox Odyssey, the first home video game console which could be connected to a TV set. Ralph Baer's initial design had called for a huge row of switches that would allow players to turn on and off certain components of the console (the Odyssey lacked a CPU) to create slightly different games like tennis, volleyball, hockey, and chase. Magnavox replaced the switch design with separate cartridges for each game. Although Baer had sketched up ideas for cartridges that could include new components for new games, the carts released by Magnavox all served the same function as the switches and allowed players to choose from the Odyssey's built-in games.
Because they still make money regardless of how many mistakes they make. Despite all the disappointment with those games, they still sold millions of copies.

Thousands of biathlon competitors and fans have gathered in rural Aroostook County in Maine for the sport's World Cup. More than 10 years ago, Aroostook, traditionally a hub for potato farming and logging, hatched a plan to reverse the stagnant wage growth and high unemployment that plague so many sparsely populated areas. The county already drew large numbers of snowmobilers to its network of well-groomed trails. So Aroostook set out to build on that base — by capitalizing on its long history of superb cross-country skiing and transforming itself into one of the world's premier Nordic sports destinations.
A charity moped trip by a group of pensioners has hit the skids after 17 of the group were given parking fines in Belfast.
The pensioners, from the Wirral in north-west England, had hit the road in aid of Medecins Sans Frontieres. On Tuesday morning, the group found they had been fined for parking on a pavement in the Titanic Quarter. However, the group are now back in the saddle after the fines were rescinded. In a statement, the Parking and Enforcement Agency, who issued the fines, said: "Unfortunately our patrol operatives were not made aware of the charity event being held. "As soon as we were informed of it, we cancelled all the fines issued." The group, known as the Wirral Wobblers, had parked outside the hotel they were staying in on Monday night. "When we woke up and went down to breakfast we found that every single moped had got a parking ticket on it," said Pat Keeling, one of the group. "It's a sad day when you realise you've been fined more than you've collected," she added. The pensioners said that they believed they could park outside the hotel. Signs in the area indicated that no parking was allowed at any time. Overall, however, the group said that the week has been a two-wheeled success. "Our average age is 70 and if you combine them it comes to 1,241 years," said Ted Bemand, the organiser of the trip. "So we're cracking on a bit. Typically, our mopeds are 30 to 40 years old. "We've driven through the snow, on the first day it snowed. It was no problem. "We've had breakdowns, a few little crashes, punctures, engines seized up - and now the fines."

An Edinburgh police officer caught with nearly 900 indecent images of children has been placed under supervision on a Community Payback Order for three years.
Liam Roberts, 35, was also ordered to perform 180 hours of unpaid work and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for three years. He had pleaded guilty previously to having 874 indecent images. At least 18 of the pictures were Category A, the highest level. He also admitted chatting on line with other abusers and distributing indecent pictures to others between 10 March and 27 September 2016. Roberts, who had served in Police Scotland for eight years, resigned from the force in June this year. At Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Roberts' solicitor, Lena Docherty, told Sheriff Kenneth McGowan the social work report described her client as at low risk of re-offending and that he had already taken steps to address his conduct. Sheriff McGowan told Roberts: "As you will know, given your background, offending of this kind can lead to a custodial sentence, but it is quite clear from the guidance I have been given and the evidence of your undertaking rehabilitation, that the court can consider an alternative to custody."
A total of 21 victims were aged under 10 and offences includes rape, sexual assault and grooming, said the NSPCC. The welfare charity said it was the first year police had been required to "cyber flag" sex crimes involving children and the internet. It said 3,000 such crimes were recorded last year in Wales and England. Across Wales, there was a variation in the numbers of offences cyber-flagged. Dyfed Powys Police recorded 116 offences, North Wales 95, Gwent 59 and South Wales 26. North Wales Police recorded three rapes involving use of the internet; against two boys, under 13 and 16, and a girl aged under 13. NSPCC Cymru head Des Mannion said: "The sheer number of cases confirms our fears that the digital world is playing a significant role in the sexual abuse of children. "It's clear that a large volume of sexual assaults, and in some cases rapes, have involved use of the internet - for example by grooming victims before abusing them offline, or live-streaming the abuse. "Online abuse can be just one click away and we need innovative solutions to help keep Welsh children safe." The figures, which were obtained by the NSPCC via a Freedom of Information request to police in England and Wales, are being discussed at its annual child protection conference in London.

Why is there no "big" inflation even though more and more money is printed?
The amount of money being printed may seem like a lot, but it is very very small compared to the current amounts in circulation. Each subsequent bill printed has slightly less of an effect than the last.
In 1992, Jamaica's inflation rate peaked at over 70%. Since then, the country has managed to gain better control of inflation and, in 2017, the Bank of Jamaica set an annual inflation target of between 4% and 6%. Now, Jamaica's inflation rate is around 5%. And the Central Bank has chosen a unique way to communicate these policies to its citizens: Reggae music videos. Today on the show, Stacey talks to Wayne Robinson, Senior Deputy Governor at the Bank of Jamaica about the campaign and why making monetary policy accessible is important. Music by Drop Electric.

How does the Akinator site/app so accurately guess characters/people in so few questions?
It works because many people already answered the questions thinking of the same person as you. Akinator remembers all the answers of its users and uses them to learn what questions and answers lead to what person. If you try describing a very obscure/unknown person akinator will not be able to guess them because not enough people tried describing the person, so Akinator doesn't have enough data to guess correctly.
The human brain likes solving things, and rewards it's self for doing a good job. The brain is also particularly optimized to spot patterns so that the unfamiliar can be spotted and quickly processed. Examples are all the faces of Jesus in toast & pieces of wood. Poetry you get the build up "oh, a pattern!" as far as your reading & oration skills are on par to connect that there is indeed a pattern, and you did find it! Good job, your brain has rewarded you.

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."

Declaratory Act The American Colonies Act 1766 (6 Geo 3 c 12), commonly known as the Declaratory Act, was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain, which accompanied the repeal of the Stamp Act 1765 and the changing and lessening of the Sugar Act. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act because boycotts were hurting British trade and used the declaration to justify the repeal and save face. The declaration stated that the Parliament's authority was the same in America as in Britain and asserted Parliament's authority to pass laws that were binding on the American colonies.

England head coach Eddie Jones says Northampton's Teimana Harrison is the favourite to fill the troublesome open-side flanker spot against South Africa.
England have been hit by injuries in the back row, with James Haskell, Sam Jones and Mike Williams all ruled out, along with the versatile Maro Itoje. Harrison, 24, lasted just half an hour in England's last Test match against Australia in Sydney. "He's gone back and worked on his game very hard," Jones told BBC Sport. "His last game against Castres was exceptional and he's probably our number one choice open-side flanker at the moment." Meanwhile Jones says the recalled flanker Tom Wood has a "great chance" of being selected this autumn. Wood was dropped following the Rugby World Cup, with Jones telling him his performances were "distinctly average". "He's improved his work-rate, his impact as a ball carrier, and he's certainly above average now," Jones added. "He's got very good lineout skills and his breakdown work has improved. So we are excited about him being in the squad. "His [lineout work] gives him a great chance of being selected." Jones has selected six uncapped players in his 33-man squad, but has played down their chances of being selected against the Springboks on 12 November. "Making your debut against South Africa is probably not the right game to make your debut," Jones explained. England travel to Portugal for a training camp on Sunday, hoping to avoid a repeat of the last gathering in Brighton which resulted in three players suffering serious injuries. "We will be doing everything in our power to make sure we have an injury-free camp," Jones said. "But having said that we need to prepare for international rugby and we will train with intensity."
Thauvin, a £12m signing from Marseille, was involved in all four Newcastle goals, volleying the hosts ahead before crossing for Siem de Jong to head in. Marc Richards pulled one back from the spot after Cheick Tiote's handball. But Thauvin set up Daryl Janmaat and Mike Williamson after the break to send the Magpies through with ease. The France Under-21 winger, who made his debut off the bench in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Manchester United, was a constant menace and scored his first goal in English football just three minutes into his first start. The 22-year-old, who also provided crosses for each of the other three Newcastle goals, lasted 65 minutes before being withdrawn to a standing ovation at St James' Park. The League Two Cobblers had looked in contention when Richards's penalty pulled the score back to 2-1 with only 10 minutes gone, but the Premier League side's superiority shone through in the second half.
