smartphone.107 | The secret behind poor smartphone battery life Summary:That shiny new smartphone has a battery that easily lasts all day. Then it all goes downhill from there Rapidly deteriorating battery life has long been tolerated by smartphone owners, mainly because they have no choice. Phones usually meet the holy grail of battery life, the ability to last all day, at first. Then it starts getting worse quickly, until many phone owners end up plugging in during the day. It seems it's always been this way, and there's no incentive to the smartphone makers to make this better. Battery has long been the focus of the mobile segment. In the early days of mobile the possible time away from a power outlet was not very long. This prompted OEMs to do what they could to make batteries in mobile devices last longer. This is why we now have decent battery life with most laptops and tablets. The eight hours needed to go all day no matter what comes up is now met by many mobile devices. Except the smartphone. Pick any smartphone in the top ranks and talk to those who've owned one for a while. Odds are, you'll hear a familiar tale — the phone easily lasted all day when new but that didn't last. If they've owned the phone over a year you'll probably hear about the antics they go through daily to have a phone that is still working at day's end. See related: Falling tablet sales: The problem is they're just too good | Necessary battery life for laptops: 8 hours So why hasn't smartphone battery life improved like that on tablets and laptops? I believe the reason is obvious — there is no incentive for OEMs to improve this. In fact, there's an incentive to keep things the way they've always been. In a recent article I explained that tablet owners aren't upgrading because current devices are good enough . There's no compelling reason for tablet owners to get the latest and greatest because the one they have is good enough. Good battery life is a big part of that satisfaction with tablets. Most of the top tablets get 10+ hours of battery life, and that's enough for just about everyone. Even over time when those tablet batteries start deteriorating, resulting in shorter battery life, they still last all day given the long life they start with when new. With smartphones it's a different story. Many are on the edge of all-day battery life to start, and they fall short as the battery ages. This is common. Take a stroll around the web and you'll find hundreds of articles with tips for "how to extend the battery on gadget X". Owners are trying to get through the day with a smartphone that's only a year old, and they'll do anything to make that happen. That includes trading in that phone when their US contract is up. I believe it's not just a hankering for the latest shiny smartphone available, it's also to get rid of their old one. They know from experience that their battery life issue will go away with a new phone, due to that new battery inside. This is why there is no incentive for smartphone makers to come up with a new battery technology with the same improvements we've seen in laptops and tablets. They need that two-year replacement cycle the phone contracts push, and the dying battery syndrome fuels that upgrade process. I'm not suggesting there's some hidden conspiracy behind the smartphone battery situation. I am pointing out that from a business perspective there is no incentive for smartphone makers to improve battery life as they have on other mobile devices. They are happy when you trade that phone in for a new one. They just hope you don't figure out what they are doing. If something's not broken, why fix it? | smartphone.107 |@lemmatized secret:1 behind:2 poor:1 smartphone:12 battery:22 life:13 summary:1 shiny:2 new:7 easily:2 last:6 day:10 go:4 downhill:1 rapidly:1 deteriorate:2 long:4 tolerate:1 owner:5 mainly:1 choice:1 phone:9 usually:1 meet:2 holy:1 grail:1 ability:1 first:1 start:4 get:5 worse:1 quickly:1 many:3 end:2 plug:1 seem:1 always:2 way:2 incentive:5 maker:3 make:3 good:5 focus:1 mobile:5 segment:1 early:1 possible:1 time:2 away:2 power:1 outlet:1 prompt:1 oems:2 could:1 device:4 longer:1 decent:1 laptop:4 tablet:9 eight:1 hour:3 need:2 matter:1 come:2 except:1 pick:1 top:2 rank:1 talk:1 one:4 odds:1 hear:2 familiar:1 tale:1 year:3 probably:1 antic:1 daily:1 still:2 work:1 see:2 related:1 fall:2 sale:1 problem:1 necessary:1 improve:3 like:1 believe:2 reason:2 obvious:1 fact:1 keep:1 thing:1 recent:1 article:2 explain:1 upgrading:1 current:1 enough:3 compelling:1 late:2 great:1 big:1 part:1 satisfaction:1 everyone:1 even:1 result:1 shorter:1 give:1 smartphones:1 different:1 story:1 edge:1 short:1 age:1 common:1 take:1 stroll:1 around:1 web:1 find:1 hundred:1 tip:1 extend:1 gadget:1 x:1 try:1 old:2 anything:1 happen:1 include:1 trading:1 u:1 contract:2 hankering:1 available:1 also:1 rid:1 know:1 experience:1 issue:1 due:1 inside:1 technology:1 improvement:1 two:1 replacement:1 cycle:1 push:1 die:1 syndrome:1 fuel:1 upgrade:1 process:1 suggest:1 hidden:1 conspiracy:1 situation:1 point:1 business:1 perspective:1 happy:1 trade:1 hope:1 figure:1 something:1 break:1 fix:1 |@ngramms battery_life:12 smartphone_battery:2 smartphone_owner:1 phone_owner:1 smartphone_maker:3 good_battery:1 long_focus:1 early_day:1 mobile_device:3 day_matter:1 give_long:1 life_start:1 happen_include:1 |
ParisAttacks2015_(28) | On the run from Isis: Jihadists 'targeting Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam for chickening out of killings' He said he regretted his part in the attacks, which had 'gone too far' The architect of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is confirmed dead. Attention now shifts to the suspected terrorist who has been on the run since the night of the killings and is the most-wanted man in Europe - Salah Abdeslam. Flyers displaying his face are posted in every town in France. Investigators believe, however, that Abdeslam - the "eighth attacker" in the Paris massacres - may also be on the run from Isis. A Belgian website has reported that the only identified Black Friday attacker still alive approached a friend in Brussels on 17 November. He said he regretted his part in the attacks, which had "gone too far". He added that he dared not give himself up – as his brother has urged – because he feared Isis would take revenge against his family. Although based on the evidence of one unnamed source, this account fits the growing conviction of investigators that Abdeslam panicked on 13 November and did not complete the savage tasks, including his own "martyrdom", allocated to him by Isis. Investigators have established that Abdeslam – previously known mostly as a small-time Brussels criminal – wandered the Paris area for seven hours on Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday before fleeing to Belgium. Police have traced a mobile phone call that he made at 10.30pm – while the slaughter at the Bataclan concert hall was still in progress – asking friends to drive the 200 miles from Brussels to rescue him. Half an hour earlier, at around 10pm, he had dropped his older brother, Ibrahim, on boulevard Voltaire, near the Bataclan. Ibrahim, a small-time criminal and Brussels bar owner, with vague links with radical Islam, immediately blew himself up outside the Comptoir Voltaire bar. He caused no more than minor injuries to passers-by. "Nothing [in Abdeslam's movements] answers the description of a pre-planned escape," one French police source told The Independent. "It is possible he panicked or chickened out of killing himself. It is possible that he was disgusted by what he had been involved in or that his explosive suicide belt failed to detonate." Abdeslam is known, from CCTV images, to have been the driver of a black Seat which carried one of the three gangs of terrorists who struck on in Paris on 13 November. It was the car from which two gunmen – including his brother – emerged to machine gun people on the terraces of bars in the 11th and 11th arrondissements. After dropping his brother just before his self-inflicted death, Abdeslam and an unidentified "ninth" attacker, drove east to the hard-scrabble suburb of Montreuil just outside the city boundary. The Seat was found abandoned there on early on 14 November. He then appears to have doubled-back into Paris. Mobile telephone records show that he called two friends in Brussels from the Barbes area of the 18th arrondissement, not far from the Gare du Nord, at 10.30pm. He asked them to come and fetch him. They arrived at around 5am. Their Brussels-bound car was pulled over by gendarmes on the A2 motorway, near Cambrai, later that morning. Abdeslam showed the officers his Belgian ID card. He was allowed to go on because his connection with the Paris massacres did not emerge until later that day when it was found that cars used in the attacks had been hired in his name. The two young Belgians who came to fetch him, Hamza Attou and Mohammed Amri, are in custody. Belgian officials say they deny all other connection with the Paris atrocities. Two other facts deepen the mystery. In its first statement claiming responsibility for the Paris outrages on 14 November, Isis said that there had also been attacks in the 18th arrondissement. There were none. On 17 November, a black Clio with Belgian number plates was found abandoned in the 18th. It had also been hired by Abdeslam. Was he supposed to have carried out attacks in which never happened? If he had another car, why did he need to call friends in Belgium to make his getaway? It is also unclear what happened to the "ninth" attacker captured by security cameras with Abdeslam in the Seat as he left his brother to his death on boulevard Voltaire. According to the website of the Belgian magazine, La Capitale, Abdeslam was in Molenbeek-Saint Jean in the Belgian capital on the evening of 17 November. The magazine said that Abdeslam had asked a friend to meet him to pass a message to his family – and warn the friend against being drawn into radical Islam. "He told me that he had gone too far. He was overwhelmed by what had happened," the unnamed friend told La Capitale. But he could not give himself up… there might be consequences for his family. | ParisAttacks2015_(28) |@lemmatized run:3 isi:5 jihadist:1 target:1 paris:9 attacker:5 salah:2 abdeslam:13 chickening:1 killing:2 say:5 regret:2 part:2 attack:6 go:4 far:4 architect:1 abdelhamid:1 abaaoud:1 confirm:1 dead:1 attention:1 shift:1 suspected:1 terrorist:2 since:1 night:2 want:1 man:1 europe:1 flyer:1 display:1 face:1 post:1 every:1 town:1 france:1 investigator:3 believe:1 however:1 eighth:1 massacre:2 may:1 also:4 belgian:7 website:2 report:1 identified:1 black:3 friday:2 still:2 alive:1 approach:1 friend:7 brussels:6 november:7 add:1 dare:1 give:2 brother:5 urge:1 fear:1 would:1 take:1 revenge:1 family:3 although:1 base:1 evidence:1 one:3 unnamed:2 source:2 account:1 fit:1 grow:1 conviction:1 panic:2 complete:1 savage:1 task:1 include:2 martyrdom:1 allocate:1 establish:1 previously:1 know:2 mostly:1 small:2 time:2 criminal:2 wander:1 area:2 seven:1 hour:3 early:2 saturday:1 flee:1 belgium:2 police:2 trace:1 mobile:2 phone:1 call:3 make:2 slaughter:1 bataclan:2 concert:1 hall:1 progress:1 ask:3 drive:2 mile:1 rescue:1 half:1 earlier:1 around:2 drop:2 old:1 ibrahim:2 boulevard:2 voltaire:3 near:2 bar:3 owner:1 vague:1 link:1 radical:2 islam:2 immediately:1 blow:1 outside:2 comptoir:1 cause:1 minor:1 injury:1 passer:1 nothing:1 movement:1 answer:1 description:1 pre:1 plan:1 escape:1 french:1 tell:3 independent:1 possible:2 chickened:1 kill:1 disgust:1 involve:1 explosive:1 suicide:1 belt:1 fail:1 detonate:1 cctv:1 image:1 driver:1 seat:3 carry:2 three:1 gang:1 strike:1 car:4 two:4 gunman:1 emerge:2 machine:1 gun:1 people:1 terrace:1 arrondissements:1 self:1 inflict:1 death:2 unidentified:1 ninth:2 east:1 hard:1 scrabble:1 suburb:1 montreuil:1 city:1 boundary:1 find:3 abandoned:1 appear:1 double:1 back:1 telephone:1 record:1 show:2 barbes:1 arrondissement:2 gare:1 du:1 nord:1 come:2 fetch:2 arrive:1 bound:1 pull:1 gendarme:1 motorway:1 cambrai:1 later:2 morning:1 officer:1 id:1 card:1 allow:1 connection:2 day:1 use:1 hire:2 name:1 young:1 hamza:1 attou:1 mohammed:1 amri:1 custody:1 official:1 deny:1 atrocity:1 fact:1 deepen:1 mystery:1 first:1 statement:1 claim:1 responsibility:1 outrage:1 none:1 clio:1 number:1 plate:1 abandon:1 suppose:1 never:1 happen:3 another:1 need:1 getaway:1 unclear:1 capture:1 security:1 camera:1 leave:1 accord:1 magazine:2 la:2 capitale:2 molenbeek:1 saint:1 jean:1 capital:1 evening:1 meet:1 pass:1 message:1 warn:1 draw:1 overwhelm:1 could:1 might:1 consequence:1 |@ngramms run_isi:2 paris_attacker:1 salah_abdeslam:2 part_attack:2 paris_attack:1 abdelhamid_abaaoud:1 confirm_dead:1 suspected_terrorist:1 friend_brussels:1 small_time:2 paris_area:1 friday_night:1 early_hour:1 flee_belgium:1 phone_call:1 bataclan_concert_hall:1 half_hour:1 boulevard_voltaire:2 french_police:1 suicide_belt:1 black_seat:1 paris_november:1 early_november:1 record_show:1 connection_paris:2 claim_responsibility:1 abdeslam_suppose:1 carry_attack:1 unclear_happen:1 saint_jean:1 belgian_capital:1 message_family:1 |
michelle.obama.103 | Michelle Obama Goes Organic and Brings in the Bees Going organic in the White House was easy. Both Bubba's and W's kitchens did that with purchases from local farms and a nearby organic market. But homegrown fare, like what first lady Michelle Obama hopes to produce with her new spring vegetable garden on the South Lawn—now, that's more complicated. And not just because crops have to be planted and tended. Washington isn't really known for its population of honeybees, the buzzy bugs needed for pollination. So—you guessed it—the first-ever White House beehive has been installed. Charlie Brandts, a White House carpenter for 25 years, is now the First Beekeeper. He got the ball rolling when he told some of the East Wing staff about his hobby. "I was thinking about how cool it would be to bring bees to the White House," Brandts says. Word made it to chef Sam Kass, who asked Brandts if he could make White House honey to use in Obama family recipes. On Tuesday, Brandts brought in one of his hives and put it near the garden. While he's been in beekeeping for only three years, Brandts sounds like a longtime pro. "I'm trying to promote beekeeping," he tells Whispers. He started raising bees for the same reason the first lady dug her garden: "I wanted to eat healthier," he says. That meant shifting from sugar to honey. "But it kind of gets expensive," he says, "and I thought it can't be too hard to put together a few hives in my yard" in nearby Fairland, Md. While the hive has been welcomed by the first family, Brandts concedes that some workers had to be convinced that honeybees are largely harmless. (Ironically, it was some of the security staff who worried about getting stung.) As with many people with access to hives, the first family might get hooked on bees, and Brandts hopes to bring more hives in. "And if they don't like them, we can always take them out." | michelle.obama.103 |@lemmatized michelle:2 obama:3 go:2 organic:3 bring:4 bee:4 white:5 house:5 easy:1 bubba:1 w:1 kitchen:1 purchase:1 local:1 farm:1 nearby:2 market:1 homegrown:1 fare:1 like:3 first:6 lady:2 hop:1 produce:1 new:1 spring:1 vegetable:1 garden:3 south:1 lawn:1 complicated:1 crop:1 plant:1 tend:1 washington:1 really:1 know:1 population:1 honeybee:2 buzzy:1 bug:1 need:1 pollination:1 guess:1 ever:1 beehive:1 instal:1 charlie:1 brandt:4 carpenter:1 year:2 beekeeper:1 get:4 ball:1 roll:1 tell:2 east:1 wing:1 staff:2 hobby:1 think:2 cool:1 would:1 say:3 word:1 make:2 chef:1 sam:1 ka:1 ask:1 could:1 honey:2 use:1 family:3 recipe:1 tuesday:1 brandts:3 one:1 hive:5 put:2 near:1 beekeeping:2 three:1 sound:1 longtime:1 pro:1 try:1 promote:1 whisper:1 start:1 raise:1 reason:1 dig:1 want:1 eat:1 healthy:1 mean:1 shift:1 sugar:1 kind:1 expensive:1 hard:1 together:1 yard:1 fairland:1 md:1 welcome:1 concedes:1 worker:1 convince:1 largely:1 harmless:1 ironically:1 security:1 worry:1 stung:1 many:1 people:1 access:1 might:1 hook:1 hope:1 always:1 take:1 |@ngramms michelle_obama:2 white_house:5 obama_family:1 hope_bring:1 |
premier.league.61 | Premiership stays on BBC The BBC has won the rights to show Premier League highlights from 2007 until 2010. It means Match of the Day will continue on BBC One on Saturday nights and MOTD2 on Sundays for another four seasons. "This is the best possible news for us ahead of the World Cup," said Roger Mosey, the BBC's Head of Sport. "As well has having the World Cup until 2014, we now have every Premiership goal and all the main action free to people in the UK until 2010." The BBC had submitted a bid of £171.6m for the three-year period. Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore said: "The BBC and Match of the Day have been almost synonymous with our great competition since it started. "This deal allows fans to continue to access its high-quality coverage through to the next decade. We are very pleased at the outcome. "The deal also gives our clubs the opportunity to showcase their football to the wide and varied audience that the BBC attracts. "The market for the highlights rights was very competitive and we were extremely impressed by other proposals. "However, we now look forward to extending the great relationship we have with the BBC, one that goes further than this rights deal." The BBC lost the rights to show Premiership highlights to ITV in 2000, but regained them in 2003 for £105m. Dominic Coles, the BBC's director of sports rights and finance, said: "The Premier League is the world's most successful domestic tournament and their rights are the most significant sports rights in the UK. So we're delighted that we will remain their key partner on terrestrial television." The Premier League has been issuing various rights packages for the period from 2007 to 2010. Irish pay-TV firm Setanta broke BSkyB's monopoly of live Premier League football matches by winning the rights to show 46 matches per season from 2007. BSkyB was given 92 live matches, including the "A" package of games on late Sunday afternoons. Other Premiership rights, including mobile rights and overseas rights are still to be determined. Match of the Day first appeared on BBC Television on 22 August 1964. | premier.league.61 |@lemmatized premiership:4 stay:1 bbc:11 win:2 right:12 show:3 premier:5 league:5 highlight:3 mean:1 match:6 day:3 continue:2 one:2 saturday:1 night:1 sunday:2 another:1 four:1 season:2 best:1 possible:1 news:1 u:1 ahead:1 world:3 cup:2 say:3 roger:1 mosey:1 head:1 sport:3 well:1 every:1 goal:1 main:1 action:1 free:1 people:1 uk:2 submit:1 bid:1 three:1 year:1 period:2 chief:1 executive:1 richard:1 scudamore:1 almost:1 synonymous:1 great:2 competition:1 since:1 start:1 deal:3 allow:1 fan:1 access:1 high:1 quality:1 coverage:1 next:1 decade:1 pleased:1 outcome:1 also:1 give:2 club:1 opportunity:1 showcase:1 football:2 wide:1 varied:1 audience:1 attract:1 market:1 competitive:1 extremely:1 impress:1 proposal:1 however:1 look:1 forward:1 extend:1 relationship:1 go:1 far:1 lose:1 itv:1 regain:1 dominic:1 cole:1 director:1 finance:1 successful:1 domestic:1 tournament:1 significant:1 delight:1 remain:1 key:1 partner:1 terrestrial:1 television:2 issue:1 various:1 package:2 irish:1 pay:1 tv:1 firm:1 setanta:1 break:1 bskyb:2 monopoly:1 live:2 per:1 include:2 game:1 late:1 afternoon:1 mobile:1 overseas:1 still:1 determine:1 first:1 appear:1 august:1 |@ngramms premier_league:5 match_day:3 saturday_night:1 world_cup:2 free_people:1 chief_executive:1 richard_scudamore:1 high_quality:1 pay_tv:1 football_match:1 show_match:1 live_match:1 package_game:1 sunday_afternoon:1 |
ParisAttacks2015_(10) | Hollande says Paris attacks 'an act of war' by Islamic State French President Francois Hollande said on Saturday the attacks in Paris that killed 127 people were "an act of war" organized from abroad by Islamic State with internal help. "Faced with war, the country must take appropriate action," he said, without saying what that meant. Hollande said he would address parliament on Monday in an extraordinary meeting and the country would observe three days of official mourning for the victims of Friday's attacks. The attacks at a stadium, concert hall and cafes and restaurants in northern and eastern Paris were "an act of war committed by Daesh that was prepared, organized and planned from outside (of France)" with help from inside France, Hollande said, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State. "All measures to protect our compatriots and our territory are being taken within the framework of the state of emergency," he said. Islamic State released an undated video on Saturday urging Muslims to attack France. The coordinated assault on Friday evening came as France, a founder member of the U.S.-led coalition waging air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Syria and Iraq, was on high alert for terrorist attacks ahead of a global climate conference due to open later this month. The deadliest attack was on the Bataclan, a popular concert venue where the Californian rock group Eagles of Death Metal was performing. The concert hall is just a few hundred meters from the former offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, target of a deadly attack by Islamist gunmen in January. Some witnesses in the hall said they heard the gunmen shout Islamic chants and slogans condemning France's role in Syria. | ParisAttacks2015_(10) |@lemmatized hollande:4 say:8 paris:3 attack:8 act:3 war:4 islamic:6 state:6 french:1 president:1 francois:1 saturday:2 kill:1 people:1 organize:2 abroad:1 internal:1 help:2 faced:1 country:2 must:1 take:2 appropriate:1 action:1 without:1 meant:1 would:2 address:1 parliament:1 monday:1 extraordinary:1 meeting:1 observe:1 three:1 day:1 official:1 mourning:1 victim:1 friday:2 stadium:1 concert:3 hall:3 cafe:1 restaurant:1 northern:1 eastern:1 commit:1 daesh:1 prepare:1 plan:1 outside:1 france:5 inside:1 use:1 arabic:1 acronym:1 measure:1 protect:1 compatriot:1 territory:1 within:1 framework:1 emergency:1 release:1 undated:1 video:1 urge:1 muslim:1 coordinated:1 assault:1 even:1 come:1 founder:1 member:1 u:1 lead:1 coalition:1 wag:1 air:1 strike:1 fighter:1 syria:2 iraq:1 high:1 alert:1 terrorist:1 ahead:1 global:1 climate:1 conference:1 due:1 open:1 later:1 month:1 deadly:2 bataclan:1 popular:1 venue:1 californian:1 rock:1 group:1 eagle:1 death:1 metal:1 perform:1 hundred:1 meter:1 former:1 office:1 satirical:1 weekly:1 charlie:1 hebdo:1 target:1 islamist:1 gunman:2 january:1 witness:1 hear:1 shout:1 chant:1 slogan:1 condemn:1 role:1 |@ngramms paris_attack:1 act_war:3 islamic_state:5 french_president:1 hollande_say_saturday:1 attack_paris:1 kill_people:1 parliament_monday:1 friday_attack:1 attack_stadium:1 concert_hall:2 eastern_paris:1 state_emergency:1 air_strike:1 syria_iraq:1 high_alert:1 terrorist_attack:1 conference_due:1 deadly_attack:2 concert_venue:1 rock_group:1 eagle_death_metal:1 charlie_hebdo:1 islamist_gunman:1 |
premier.league.21 | Power of top four concerns Keegan Keegan has been told he will have money to spend in the summer Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan fears the domination of the Premier League's top four is a threat to the top flight. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool will again head the division for the third season running as they leave the rest trailing in their wake. "Maybe the owner thinks we can bridge that gap - but we can't," said Keegan after Monday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea. "This league is in danger of becoming one of the most boring but great leagues in the world." Keegan replaced Sam Allardyce at St James' Park in January and his comments will have extra resonance as he is renowned as one of the game's eternal optimists. He feels fifth is the best the clubs outside the 'big four' can realistically aim for - even with plenty of funds. 606: DEBATE Comment: Keegan wrong about 'boring' Premier League "The top four next year will be the same top four as this year," he added. "What I can say to the Newcastle fans is that we will be trying to get fifth and we will be trying to win the other league that's going on within the Premier League. "I haven't got enough money and I wouldn't be able to get the players anyway (to do any better than that), so I will soldier on with what I've got and maybe add one or two, maybe three, depending what's available." Keegan turned Newcastle into title contenders when he managed them from February 1992 until January 1997 but he feels it is not possible to do the same again. His opinion was reinforced during the Bank Holiday game against Chelsea, who clinched the win to move level on points with Manchester United at the top of the table ahead of the final game of the season. "I thought, 'What can I do next year to get near them' and the truth is there's nothing I can do at all," stated Keegan. It is frustrating that Modric, like Woodgate before him, should take less money than we offered to move to the bright lights of London and European football with Tottenham next season Newcastle chairman Chris Mort "I was looking around thinking, 'who can I bring on' and I'm seeing (Andriy) Shevchenko and (Frank) Lampard coming on and Joe Cole thinking about coming on." Keegan has, however, been promised funds to attract big-name signings. "Over the summer, we will look to strengthen the squad further," said chairman Chris Mort. "In addition to immediate fixes, we will want to acquire players that can help make Newcastle United a top team for the medium and long term." Newcastle have already missed out on the signing of midfielder Luka Modric, who rejected a lucrative offer to join Tottenham instead, just as Jonathan Woodgate did in January. But Mort is confident that Newcastle are heading in the right direction and that they will soon be in a position to attract players like the 22-year-old Croatian international. "It is frustrating that Modric, like Woodgate before him, should take less money than we offered to move to the bright lights of London and European football with Tottenham next season," conceded Mort. "But these are the sorts of difficulties that should get easier to address once we build a squad that competes at the right end of the table." And Keegan is positive he will get the funds he needs from owner Mike Ashley to improve his squad, saying: "I have no proof of that yet but I have no doubts he will (back me). "If I can get three or four players in to add to what I have got here - and we have that bit of luck you need with no injuries to key players - then we might be able to win the second division of the Premier League." | premier.league.21 |@lemmatized power:1 top:7 four:6 concern:1 keegan:10 tell:1 money:4 spend:1 summer:2 newcastle:7 bos:1 kevin:1 fear:1 domination:1 premier:4 league:7 threat:1 flight:1 manchester:2 unite:2 chelsea:3 arsenal:1 liverpool:1 head:2 division:2 third:1 season:4 run:1 leave:1 rest:1 trail:1 wake:1 maybe:3 owner:2 think:4 bridge:1 gap:1 say:4 monday:1 loss:1 danger:1 become:1 one:3 boring:1 great:1 world:1 replace:1 sam:1 allardyce:1 st:1 james:1 park:1 january:3 comment:2 extra:1 resonance:1 renowned:1 game:3 eternal:1 optimist:1 feel:2 fifth:2 best:1 club:1 outside:1 big:2 realistically:1 aim:1 even:1 plenty:1 fund:3 debate:1 wrong:1 bore:1 next:4 year:4 add:3 fan:1 try:2 get:9 win:3 go:1 within:1 enough:1 able:2 player:5 anyway:1 good:1 soldier:1 two:1 three:2 depend:1 available:1 turn:1 title:1 contender:1 manage:1 february:1 possible:1 opinion:1 reinforce:1 bank:1 holiday:1 clinch:1 move:3 level:1 point:1 table:2 ahead:1 final:1 near:1 truth:1 nothing:1 state:1 frustrate:2 modric:3 like:3 woodgate:3 take:2 less:2 offer:3 bright:2 light:2 london:2 european:2 football:2 tottenham:3 chairman:2 chris:2 mort:4 look:2 around:1 bring:1 seeing:1 andriy:1 shevchenko:1 frank:1 lampard:1 come:2 joe:1 cole:1 however:1 promise:1 attract:2 name:1 signing:2 strengthen:1 squad:3 far:1 addition:1 immediate:1 fix:1 want:1 acquire:1 help:1 make:1 united:1 team:1 medium:1 long:1 term:1 already:1 miss:1 midfielder:1 luka:1 reject:1 lucrative:1 join:1 instead:1 jonathan:1 confident:1 right:2 direction:1 soon:1 position:1 old:1 croatian:1 international:1 concede:1 sort:1 difficulty:1 easy:1 address:1 build:1 compete:1 end:1 positive:1 need:2 mike:1 ashley:1 improve:1 proof:1 yet:1 doubt:1 back:1 bit:1 luck:1 injury:1 key:1 might:1 second:1 |@ngramms money_spend:1 summer_newcastle:1 premier_league:4 manchester_unite:2 chelsea_arsenal:1 season_run:1 leave_rest:1 league_world:1 newcastle_fan:1 game_season:1 offer_move:2 bright_light:2 european_football:2 signing_summer:1 newcastle_united:1 long_term:1 |
debt.crisis.greece.263 | Not Out of The Woods Yet: Despite Progress, Euro Crisis Is Far From Over The Greek debt cut worked and the rescue package has gone through. So is the euro crisis over? By no means. The situation in Greece will take a turn for the worse again in a few weeks. The other euro nations will have to use the time until then to get their own houses in order -- especially Germany. For a change, everything has been going according to plan in the fight to save the euro in recent weeks. On Wednesday, euro-zone finance ministers gave the green light to the €130 billion ($170 billion) second rescue package for Greece. It's a pure formality after a satisfyingly large proportion of creditors agreed to a debt cut for Greece. Perhaps the most significant success of recent days is that even though the debt cut was deemed a so-called credit event, triggering the payment of the financial contracts known as credit default swaps, hardly anyone seemed to care. For more than two years, the international financial lobby had been warning the public and governments that these credit default swaps must under no circumstances be triggered, because that would cause a disaster similar to the meltdown that followed the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. Their message, effectively, was that taxpayers should cover all the losses, rather than private-sector creditors. But the CDS horror scenario has failed to become reality. So has Greece been rescued and financial markets been tamed? Is the euro crisis a thing of the past? Unfortunately not. With their successes in the last few days, euro-zone politicians have done little more than bought themselves time. They must use this window to brace themselves for the next wave of the euro crisis which is about to crash down on Europe. It's already clear that the Greek economy can't survive with a government debt to GDP ratio that will -- at best -- still be at 117 percent in 2020, especially given the record pace at which the country's GDP is contracting. There is still no coherent strategy for making Greece competitive again inside the euro zone, or for raising the capital for the huge investments needed -- let alone for the wholesale revamp of the country's entire public administration. Greek Crisis Will Escalate Again And so Greece is likely to report the next set of disappointing budget figures in a few months, and the wrangling over a new debt cut and a new rescue package will start shortly afterwards. Maybe the next wave of the crisis will hit us even sooner: Greece is scheduled to hold an election on April 22 which is expected to produce a left-wing majority deeply opposed to the strict austerity program imposed by Brussels. The other euro-zone governments have at most a few more months, perhaps only a few weeks, before the situation in Greece worsens again. They must use this time to make clear that Greece is the exception within the euro zone, not the rule. The other euro states must quickly arrive at a point at which the fate of Greece simply isn't relevant for the future of the euro -- which of course doesn't mean that the Greeks should be left to their fate. That means that Portugal, Spain and Italy, the three other problem countries in the south of the euro zone, must perform the magic trick of stimulating growth while reducing their budget deficits. That can only succeed with a lot of pragmatism -- austerity without growth is as pointless as growth without austerity. That pragmatism also means that the other European finance ministers should keep calm in reaction to the news that Spain has revised up its projected 2012 budget deficit to 5.8 percent from a previously forecast 4.4 percent. Spain, too, is in a deep recession. It is an impressive feat even to have reduced new borrowing at all -- in 2011, Spain's budget deficit was 8.5 percent of GDP. Beyond Doubt It is petty of the Euro Group to insist that the country curb its 2012 deficit to 5.3 percent. What is far more important is the message: Rome, Madrid and Lisbon are heading in the right direction with their reforms. Italy, Spain and Portugal have -- unlike Greece -- competitive industrial sectors, a functioning public administration and a political consensus, admittedly fragile, that they have to pull themselves out of the mess they got themselves into by running up debts over years. Germany itself doesn't warrant such tolerance. The country is the euro zone's growth engine and its anchor of stability. If the debt crisis escalates again and engulfs other states, everything will depend on Germany -- and the long-term stability of Germany's finances must be beyond any doubt. Germany's tax revenues are at a record high and the interest it has to pay on new debt is close to zero. Despite this, Germany still missed its own cost-cutting targets in 2011 and is also falling behind on its goals for 2012. Before Germany admonishes Spain about its budget, it must make a greater effort itself. | debt.crisis.greece.263 |@lemmatized wood:1 yet:1 despite:2 progress:1 euro:16 crisis:7 far:2 greek:4 debt:8 cut:5 work:1 rescue:4 package:3 go:2 mean:4 situation:2 greece:11 take:1 turn:1 bad:1 week:3 nation:1 use:3 time:3 get:2 house:1 order:1 especially:2 germany:7 change:1 everything:2 accord:1 plan:1 fight:1 save:1 recent:2 wednesday:1 zone:7 finance:3 minister:2 give:2 green:1 light:1 billion:2 second:1 pure:1 formality:1 satisfyingly:1 large:1 proportion:1 creditor:2 agree:1 perhaps:2 significant:1 success:2 day:2 even:3 though:1 deem:1 call:1 credit:3 event:1 trigger:2 payment:1 financial:3 contract:2 know:1 default:2 swap:2 hardly:1 anyone:1 seem:1 care:1 two:1 year:2 international:1 lobby:1 warn:1 public:3 government:3 must:7 circumstance:1 would:1 cause:1 disaster:1 similar:1 meltdown:1 follow:1 collapse:1 lehman:1 brother:1 message:2 effectively:1 taxpayer:1 cover:1 loss:1 rather:1 private:1 sector:2 cd:1 horror:1 scenario:1 fail:1 become:1 reality:1 market:1 tame:1 thing:1 past:1 unfortunately:1 last:1 politician:1 little:1 buy:1 window:1 brace:1 next:3 wave:2 crash:1 europe:1 already:1 clear:2 economy:1 survive:1 gdp:3 ratio:1 best:1 still:3 percent:5 record:2 pace:1 country:5 coherent:1 strategy:1 make:3 competitive:2 inside:1 raise:1 capital:1 huge:1 investment:1 need:1 let:1 alone:1 wholesale:1 revamp:1 entire:1 administration:2 escalate:2 likely:1 report:1 set:1 disappointing:1 budget:5 figure:1 month:2 wrangling:1 new:4 start:1 shortly:1 afterwards:1 maybe:1 hit:1 u:1 sooner:1 schedule:1 hold:1 election:1 april:1 expect:1 produce:1 left:1 wing:1 majority:1 deeply:1 oppose:1 strict:1 austerity:3 program:1 impose:1 brussels:1 worsens:1 exception:1 within:1 rule:1 state:2 quickly:1 arrive:1 point:1 fate:2 simply:1 relevant:1 future:1 course:1 leave:1 portugal:2 spain:6 italy:2 three:1 problem:1 south:1 perform:1 magic:1 trick:1 stimulate:1 growth:4 reduce:2 deficit:4 succeed:1 lot:1 pragmatism:2 without:2 pointless:1 also:2 european:1 keep:1 calm:1 reaction:1 news:1 revise:1 projected:1 previously:1 forecast:1 deep:1 recession:1 impressive:1 feat:1 borrowing:1 beyond:2 doubt:2 petty:1 group:1 insist:1 curb:1 important:1 rome:1 madrid:1 lisbon:1 head:1 right:1 direction:1 reform:1 unlike:1 industrial:1 function:1 political:1 consensus:1 admittedly:1 fragile:1 pull:1 mess:1 run:1 warrant:1 tolerance:1 engine:1 anchor:1 stability:2 engulf:1 depend:1 long:1 term:1 tax:1 revenue:1 high:1 interest:1 pay:1 close:1 zero:1 miss:1 cost:1 target:1 fall:1 behind:1 goal:1 admonishes:1 great:1 effort:1 |@ngramms euro_crisis:4 debt_cut:4 rescue_package:3 situation_greece:2 house_order:1 euro_zone:7 finance_minister:2 billion_billion:1 recent_day:1 credit_default:2 international_financial:1 warn_public:1 financial_market:1 greek_economy:1 make_greece:1 huge_investment:1 public_administration:2 make_clear:1 spain_italy:1 country_south:1 spain_budget:2 group_insist:1 italy_spain:1 debt_crisis:1 long_term:1 germany_finance:1 record_high:1 |
samsung.galaxy.s5.30 | How Google Used Motorola To Smack Down Samsung -- Twice Samsung is giant. It employs 427,000 staff, has an annual turnover in excess of $270bn and assets of $600bn spread across over 80 business units. And Google just floored it twice using Motorola as a baseball bat. Why? On the surface having 81 per cent of Android marketshare would seem to make Google and Samsung best buddies. Samsung has been the driving force behind Android's meteoric growth and put Google mobile devices in pole position. The problem is Samsung wanted too much credit. It wasn't enough for Samsung to make the most popular Android phones and tablets, it had to hide Android – and consequently Google's role in its achievement. It did this using 'TouchWiz', the company's proprietary skin which painted over all aspects of Android leaving it unrecognisable. To the casual consumer they were buying 'a Samsung', Google's role was largely unrecognised. Then things got worse. Samsung began degrading Android performance by switching out vast parts of the software – phone dialler, calendar, email client, contacts, notification center, music and video player, voice control and much more – for its own apps. Reviews were largely negative with TouchWiz and its bloatware slowing down Android, wasting storage space and the replacement apps were seen as inferior or, worse still, needless gimmicks. Samsung then exploited this further. It put TouchWiz on its smart TVs, another market it dominates, and began building its own Android rival – Tizen – which, thanks to its TouchWiz interface, looks identical to the casual observer. The long term strategy was clear: switch over to Tizen and take the majority of the handset market with it. Google had to act. How? The 'how' was Motorola. On 15 August 2011 Google announced it had bought Motorola Mobility for $12.5bn in cash. With it Google acquired more than 20,000 mobile patents and publicly declared the purchase of the phone maker would not in any way compromise relationships with its handset partners… honestly, really, pinky swear. Of course Google didn't expect handset partners to fully believe this and platitudes issued from them in reaction to the deal confirmed it. Should Google use Motorola to ramp up its own major handset business the market would be theirs. The phones would have stock Android and no-one, not even Samsung, could afford to subsidise their cost as Google can leveraging its mammoth advertising revenue. The bait was set: obliteration by Google stock Android handsets unless manufacturers (read: Samsung) stopped messing with Android. Google quietly showed it could walk the walk as well as it ramped up Nexus production and introduced the well-received Motorola X and Motorola G which stripped away almost all customisation from stock Android. Samsung bit. On 27 January 2014 Google and Samsung signed a wide-ranging global patent deal which will last a decade. Buried within it was an agreement that Samsung would tone down TouchWiz, refocus on core Android apps over its own customisations and cancel more radical customisations such as its 'Magazine UX' interface. Two days later Google announced the sale of Motorola Mobility to Lenovo showing both agreements had been working in parallel. The consequences The smack down for Samsung is twofold. Firstly, despite its size and dominance of the Android market, Samsung has been brought back into line. No longer will Samsung run roughshod over Android's design, kick out its apps in favour of Samsung alternatives and hide Google's hard work underneath. Indications of a low key Galaxy S5 launch suggest it will stand by its word. Secondly, the jump off point for Samsung from Android to Tizen is no longer straightforward. With Android shining through more strongly in future Samsung handsets it won't be a seamless switch from one to the other. If Samsung wants Tizen to succeed it will now have to be earned rather than snuck in under the radar. All of which should be good news for Android users who will find it easier to move between handset makers when they upgrade while a stock Android experience (particularly with Android 4.4 KitKat's optimisations) will make for faster, more responsive budget devices. Whether it gives smaller handset makers a greater chance to compete with the all-conquering Samsung, however, remains to be seen. And what of Google's supposed $10bn loss? It's a misreported myth calculated by subtracting Motorola's $2.91bn sale price from its $12.5bn purchase. What it misses are the $3.2bn Motorola had in cash, $2.4bn saved in deferred tax assets and two separate Motorola unit sales totalling $2.5bn in 2013. Factor in Lenovo's purchase against roughly $2bn of Motorola losses during Google's ownership and Google has still only paid $3bn for what it retained: $5.5bn worth of Motorola patents and the company's cutting edge research lab. Well played Google. Well played. Curious on what the deal means for Motorola and Lenovo?

smartphone.74 | Samsung Waves away a million KOREAN ELECTRONICS CONGLOMERATE Samsung has managed to shift one million of its Wave smartphones. The Wave managed to reach the sales milestone in just four weeks, a feat that is made more important by the fact that the device is the first to run Samsung's Bada operating system. Putting Samsung's sales figures into perspective, Apple's first Iphone took over 80 days to reach the million mark. Bada is Samsung's attempt to move its devices away from proprietary operating systems that offer little in terms of expandability. Depending on the device's specifications, Bada could be deployed with either a Linux or some other real-time operating system. The firm is hoping that Bada becomes a credible alternative to other smartphone operating systems, and to that end Bada has an application store. The firm is currently running a competition to boost application development, though it expects to have 7,000 applications by the end of the year. In contrast, Apple's App Store already has over 200,000 applications and the Android Market is nearing 100,000. While Samsung might be pushing Bada, it has hedged its bets by producing a number of devices that run Google's Android operating system, and again, sales figures show that was a pretty good idea. The company has managed to flog the much vaunted Galaxy S to 300,000 punters in just 19 days. Those figures are all the more impressive when you realise that represents just South Korean sales and that the Galaxy S is targeted at the high-end market. Although overall figures are not quite up there with Motorola's Milestone, the rate is impressive and bodes well for both Samsung and Android developers. Such healthy sales figures should result in Samsung continuing its two-pronged approach to pursuing greater market share in smartphones. | smartphone.74 |@lemmatized samsung:8 wave:3 away:2 million:3 korean:2 electronics:1 conglomerate:1 manage:3 shift:1 one:1 smartphones:2 reach:2 sale:5 milestone:2 four:1 week:1 feat:1 make:1 important:1 fact:1 device:4 first:2 run:3 bada:6 operate:4 system:5 put:1 figure:5 perspective:1 apple:2 iphone:1 take:1 day:2 mark:1 attempt:1 move:1 proprietary:1 offer:1 little:1 term:1 expandability:1 depend:1 specification:1 could:1 deploy:1 either:1 linux:1 real:1 time:1 firm:2 hop:1 become:1 credible:1 alternative:1 smartphone:1 end:3 application:4 store:2 currently:1 competition:1 boost:1 development:1 though:1 expect:1 year:1 contrast:1 app:1 already:1 android:3 market:3 near:1 might:1 push:1 hedge:1 bet:1 produce:1 number:1 google:1 operating:1 show:1 pretty:1 good:1 idea:1 company:1 flog:1 much:1 vaunt:1 galaxy:2 punter:1 impressive:2 realise:1 represent:1 south:1 target:1 high:1 although:1 overall:1 quite:1 motorola:1 rate:1 bodes:1 well:1 developer:1 healthy:1 result:1 continue:1 two:1 pronged:1 approach:1 pursue:1 great:1 share:1 |@ngramms manage_shift:1 operate_system:4 sale_figure:3 reach_million:1 real_time:1 app_store:1 android_market:1 number_device:1 pretty_good:1 sale_galaxy:1 high_end:1 samsung_continue:1 market_share:1 |
ParisAttacks2015_(17) | Behind François Hollande's Snap Decision at Stade de France and the Unfolding Terror in Paris French president judged it too dangerous to send soccer crowds out where militants might be waiting PARIS—When the sound of a suicide bomber detonating an explosive vest rang out across the Stade de France, President François Hollande was in the stadium watching France's national soccer team take on Germany. Within minutes, the French leader was given alarming news. Paris was coming under attack from Islamic State militants, and Mr. Hollande had to decide whether it was safer to evacuate the stadium or keep thousands inside. Huddling with at least two other VIP fans of Les Bleus—French Football Federation President Noël le Graët and France's top cop, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve—Mr. Hollande decided to let play go uninterrupted, according to French officials. That meant French midfielders Lassana Diarra and Antoine Griezmann would continue maneuvering on the pitch while, on the other side of town, the players' own family members became caught in the line of fire. But Mr. Hollande judged it was too dangerous to send the crowd scrambling into the streets where other militants might be waiting. Over a 33-minute period, three teams of militants working in close coordination struck a rock concert and five other sites, tearing through Paris in black cars and leaving at least 129 people dead, including Mr. Diarra's cousin. "She was a role model," Mr. Diarra said in a statement, "a supporter, a big sister." The onslaught blindsided a nation that was supposed to be one of the world's toughest on terrorism. Mr. Hollande had kept the country's security forces on high alert since the deadly January attacks on Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket, passing new spying legislation that drew comparisons to the Patriot Act for its stringency. When the attacks started Friday, however, France was caught flat-footed. Mr. Hollande was enjoying the soccer game along with the relatives of people who had died in an unrelated tragedy: the crash of a Germanwings jetliner in the Alps. He was one of the few to leave the stadium during the game. Before the attacks unfolded, Parisians were busy partaking in a weekly ritual: flocking to the Right Bank of the Seine, where most of the city's liveliest night spots are located. Bertrand Gauthier, 41 years old, arrived at the Bataclan concert hall wearing a T-shirt silk-screened with a photo of his sons meeting the lead singer of Eagles of Death Metal, the California band performing at the venue that night. As the band launched into its set, the crowd joined in. "There were a lot of English speakers who were singing all the songs," Mr. Gauthier said, "The atmosphere was fantastic." A few blocks away, carnage was already unfolding. At 9:25 p.m., a team of militants pulled up to one of Paris's trendiest night spots in a black Seat hatchback, toting automatic weapons and explosive vests. Alexis Debreil, 38, was dining with two friends at the hip Cambodian eatery Le Petit Cambodge when a militant dressed in black tossed a firecracker onto a table near him, causing the diners to stand up. The militant opened fire, striking Mr. Debreil in the knee and one of his friends in the hip. Right across the street, a shooter sprayed a crowd of young people who were sipping beer at Le Carillon. By the time the shooters got back in the hatchback, 15 people were dead, including a woman lying next to Mr. Debreil. "I stroked her hair and said: 'Stay with us. Hang in there,' " he recalled. "Then she went completely white, and I knew she'd died." The Seat would hit three other bars and cafes, killing 24 more people. At their last stop, the Comptoir Voltaire, one militant blew himself up while the hatchback drove off. Police are still searching for whoever was inside the car. Across town at the Stade de France, the crowd heard a second explosion ring out at 9:30 p.m. Another suicide attacker had detonated his vest at Gate H of the stadium. Play continued as police updated Mr. Hollande and his interior minister on the unfolding crisis. Convening in a secure stadium skybox, Mr. Hollande and his aides felt "the stadium was the safest place for fans," said Laura Goutry, a spokeswoman for France's soccer federation. One suicide bomber, before detonating his vest, had tried to enter the stadium with a ticket to the game, according to security officials. A police official said authorities suspect the attacker aimed to provoke a stampede out of the stadium, forcing spectators onto the streets where two other attackers would have been lying in ambush. "The surroundings weren't yet secured," Ms. Goutry said. As halftime approached, authorities quietly put the stadium on lockdown, closing the exits and preventing fans from leaving, Ms. Goutry said. A third suicide bomber blew himself up at a McDonald's down the street from the stadium without killing anyone else. Mr. Hollande had another decision to make: whether to continue the game. Players would be kept in the dark about the events transpiring, so that fans wouldn't wonder if anything had gone wrong. As in many soccer games, the size of the crowd meant cellphone reception would be patchy. When Les Bleus piled into the locker room at halftime, manager Didier Deschamps and team officials decided not to tell the players what little they knew about "incidents in Paris," according to Philippe Tournon, spokesman for the French national team, adding that officials believed the inside of the stadium was secure. "It wasn't worth alarming the players who would have asked questions we didn't have answers to," Mr. Tournon said. Across town, the sister of Mr. Griezmann, the French midfielder, had been in the dark Bataclan, jamming to the Eagles of Death Metal. At 9:40, three gunmen clad in explosive vests jumped out of a black VW and stormed the theater, according to witnesses and prosecutors. The band was in the middle of a blaring rendition of its song "Kiss the Devil" that muffled the sound of the initial shots. Suddenly, the band fled the stage and the lights came on. Florian Nowak, a 22-year-old French army cadet who was at the concert with his father, saw a tall bearded man in a hooded sweatshirt cutting down concertgoers. "He was shooting continuously," said Mr. Nowak, who hid backstage, "reloading the gun and shooting again." Amid the hail of gunfire, many concertgoers became trapped near the stage while others scrambled toward the exits. A video camera captured people hanging out of third-floor windows as fleeing spectators dragged bodies from the concert hall. As the body count rose, the gunfire slowed. The killers moved methodically through the hall, executing people on the ground and reloading their weapons. In fluent French, they railed against Mr. Hollande, casting their attack as retaliation for France's involvement in the U.S.-led air campaign against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, according to witnesses. SWAT teams took positions outside the historic concert hall as the militants took hostages. Twenty minutes after midnight, police stormed the building, firing at one militant who blew himself up, according to prosecutors. The other two militants followed suit moments later. When the smoke cleared, 89 people were dead inside the Bataclan, and the venue's parquet floor had turned red with blood, witnesses said. Ambulances streamed through the city, ferrying hundreds of wounded people to hospitals. Medical workers were well-prepared. Across Paris, hospitals had been scheduled to run drills on how to respond to attacks like the one that struck Charlie Hebdo, said Patrick Pelloux, an emergency-room doctor who was a first responder to the January assault. By the early hours of Saturday, Dr. Pelloux was overseeing a situation room that alerted 500 doctors and nurses. When Bataclan victims started pouring in, 60 operating tables were active, more than five times the usual number. "I saw blood everywhere. It was all over the floor, even in the elevator," said Johan Robert, a 30-year-old patient who was recovering from a motorcycle accident when victims began streaming into Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière. Back at Stade de France, the game had ended for more than an hour—France won 2-0—and spectators were allowed to leave, but players were forced to stay. Most players had learned about the attacks as they left the field. Germany's team, known as Die Mannschaft, already shaken up by a bomb threat at their hotel Friday morning, was desperate to leave Paris but couldn't figure out how. They needed a new flight or new hotel. Neither was available. "You could tell how shocked the players were," general manager Oliver Bierhoff said. French officials offered to house the players and coaches at Clairefontaine, the national training center. But Germany's 100-strong delegation was determined to stick together. The team chose to spend the night at the stadium, laying out mattresses on the floor. Les Bleus stayed too. In the middle of the night, Germany found a dawn flight to Frankfurt. That was France's cue to go home. Their bus finally crawled out of the Stade de France at 2:55 a.m., players glued to their phones. It was then that Mr. Griezmann got some good news: His sister was alive. "Thank God my sister was able to get out of the Bataclan," he tweeted. | ParisAttacks2015_(17) |@lemmatized behind:1 françois:2 hollande:11 snap:1 decision:2 stade:5 de:5 france:12 unfolding:3

premier.league.22 | Scudamore defends 'boring' League Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has defended claims from Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan that the dominance of the top four is "boring." Keegan made the claims after his side's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday. "I don't think anyone in their right mind seriously thinks it is boring," said Scudamore. "I'm not saying he's going to regret what he has said but on reflection the word boring is probably not what Kevin really meant." He added: "The reality is that there is no-one who is interested in football who thinks the Premier League is boring. I don't believe it for one minute. 606: DEBATE It's about time a manager came in and spoke the truth! Every word he said was true! 50 years with nothing "Why is it the most watched? The numbers tell you it is the most exciting league in the world." Keegan said after Sunday's game: "This league is in danger of becoming one of the most boring but great leagues in the world." But Scudamore thinks that the 2007/08 season has been far from boring. "It is Kevin, we know Kevin and we love him, he is fantastic," said Scudamore. "His great quality is that he wears his heart on his sleeve and that is his great strength and that is why we love him. "But I think he's just gone through the heat of battle, he's just competed very, very well for 60 minutes, he thought he had a chance of winning the game and all of sudden they've lost 2-0 and then a microphone goes under his nose and he says that. "I don't think it is necessarily boring but it is a challenge for him to get Newcastle from where they are now into the top four and I don't necessarily think that is boring and is one he will attack with vigour and passion." Scudamore also defended the theory that the title race is too predictable and that the Premier League was just about the top four. He said: "There are a lot of different tussles that go on in the Premier League depending on whether you're at the top, in the middle or at the bottom that make it interesting. It is also for the good of English football that we now have teams dominating in Europe Richard Scudamore "In simple terms two of the three promoted clubs normally stay up so it is not necessarily the case that the promoted teams go down. "You just have to look at statistics which say that while it is hard to get in the Premier League and stay in the Premier League that does not necessarily make it boring." | premier.league.22 |@lemmatized scudamore:7 defends:1 bore:5 league:10 premier:6 chief:1 executive:1 richard:2 defend:2 claim:2 newcastle:2 manager:2 kevin:4 keegan:3 dominance:1 top:4 four:3 make:3 side:1 defeat:1 chelsea:1 sunday:2 think:8 anyone:1 right:1 mind:1 seriously:1 boring:5 say:9 go:5 regret:1 reflection:1 word:2 probably:1 really:1 meant:1 add:1 reality:1 one:4 interested:1 football:2 believe:1 minute:2 debate:1 time:1 come:1 speak:1 truth:1 every:1 true:1 year:1 nothing:1 watched:1 number:1 tell:1 exciting:1 world:2 game:2 danger:1 become:1 great:3 season:1 far:1 know:1 love:2 fantastic:1 quality:1 wear:1 heart:1 sleeve:1 strength:1 heat:1 battle:1 compete:1 well:1 chance:1 win:1 sudden:1 lose:1 microphone:1 nose:1 necessarily:4 challenge:1 get:2 attack:1 vigour:1 passion:1 also:2 theory:1 title:1 race:1 predictable:1 lot:1 different:1 tussle:1 depend:1 whether:1 middle:1 bottom:1 interesting:1 good:1 english:1 team:2 dominate:1 europe:1 simple:1 term:1 two:1 three:1 promote:1 club:1 normally:1 stay:2 case:1 promoted:1 look:1 statistic:1 hard:1 |@ngramms premier_league:6 chief_executive:1 richard_scudamore:2 league_world:2 great_quality:1 wear_heart:1 chance_win:1 english_football:1 |
samsung.galaxy.s5.39 | Samsung Galaxy S5 Active just got a 'Sport'-y new name on Sprint The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is already only rudimentarily different from the standard Galaxy S5, and now a third variant is being introduced by Samsung and Sprint. But the Galaxy S5 Sport, as it's called, is even less different from the S5 Active than the Active was from the original. In fact, it's more or less identical, with the new name being the only discernible difference. The carrier is nevertheless calling the Galaxy S5 Sport an "exclusive," so that's fun. Not this again To be fair, there are aspects of the S5 Sport - including available colors and included apps - that are actually exclusive to Sprint. The Sprint phone will come in "cherry red" and "electric blue," and it's pre-loaded with a new Sprint Fit Live fitness app package in addition to the Active's Activity Zone, S Health and heart rate monitor Like the S5 Active, the S5 Sport has IP67 water and dust resistance, a step up from the standard S5's slightly less effective water resistance. The Sport also has the Active's upgraded "textured casing." It arrives "exclusively" on Sprint July 25. Let's just hope other carriers don't follow suit and spark a resurgence of naming every phone something different for each of their networks.

cypriot.financial.crisis.36 | Criminals IN Government: Cyprus President's Family Transferred Tens Of Millions To London Days Before Deposit Haircuts By Zero Hedge A day after former Cypriot President Vassilou was found to be among many elite Cypriot (politicians and businessmen) who had loans written-off by the major (now insolvent) banks; it appears the rot is far fouler than expected. In a somewhat stunning (or purely coincidental) revelation, ENETEnglish reports that Cypriot newspaper Haravgi claims that current President Nicos Anastasiades' family businesses transferred 'dozens of millions' from their Laiki Bank accounts to London just a week before the devastating depositor haircuts were unleashed upon his people. Of course, the denials are loud and Anastasiades has demanded an investigation into the claims; we are sure the government-selected 'independent' committee will be as thorough as the Libor anti-trust investigators. As a reminder, as we noted yesterday, here are Cyprus' gun control laws. Via EnetEnglish, A company owned by in-laws of Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades withdrew dozens of millions from Laiki Bank on March 12 and 13, according to an article published in Cypriot newspaper Haravgi. The newspaper, which is affiliated to the communist-rooted AKEL party, reports that three days before the Eurogroup meeting the company took five promissory notes worth €21m from Laiki Bank and transferred the money to London. Responding to the allegations, Anastasiades said: "The attempt to defame companies or people linked to my family… is nothing but an attempt to distract people from the liability of those who led the country to a state of bankruptcy." The president added that no one, including himself, will be exempt from the ongoing investigations looking into responsibilities over the near collapse of the economy. Anastasiades added that when the investigative committee convenes on Tuesday, he will request that its members look into this particular case with the same attentiveness as all other cases. The company in question has firmly denied the reports. Last Friday a list of companies and politicians that had loans written off by banks at the heart of Cyprus' bailout crisis was published in Greece and was subsequently handed to the Cypriot parliament's ethics committee. The list includes the names of politicians from Cyprus' biggest parties (excluding the socialist EDEK and the Greens). | cypriot.financial.crisis.36 |@lemmatized criminal:1 government:2 cyprus:4 president:5 family:3 transfer:3 ten:1 million:3 london:3 day:3 deposit:1 haircut:2 zero:1 hedge:1 former:1 cypriot:6 vassilou:1 find:1 among:1 many:1 elite:1 politician:3 businessmen:1 loan:2 write:2 major:1 insolvent:1 bank:5 appear:1 rot:1 far:1 foul:1 expect:1 somewhat:1 stunning:1 purely:1 coincidental:1 revelation:1 enetenglish:2 report:3 newspaper:3 haravgi:2 claim:2 current:1 nicos:2 anastasiades:5 business:1 dozen:2 laiki:3 account:1 week:1 devastate:1 depositor:1 unleashed:1 upon:1 people:3 course:1 denial:1 loud:1 demand:1 investigation:2 sure:1 select:1 independent:1 committee:3 thorough:1 libor:1 anti:1 trust:1 investigator:1 reminder:1 note:2 yesterday:1 gun:1 control:1 law:2 via:1 company:5 withdrew:1 march:1 accord:1 article:1 publish:2 affiliate:1 communist:1 root:1 akel:1 party:2 three:1 eurogroup:1 meet:1 take:1 five:1 promissory:1 worth:1 money:1 respond:1 allegation:1 say:1 attempt:2 defame:1 link:1 nothing:1 distract:1 liability:1 lead:1 country:1 state:1 bankruptcy:1 add:2 one:1 include:2 exempt:1 ongoing:1 look:2 responsibility:1 near:1 collapse:1 economy:1 investigative:1 convenes:1 tuesday:1 request:1 member:1 particular:1 case:2 attentiveness:1 question:1 firmly:1 deny:1 last:1 friday:1 list:2 heart:1 bailout:1 crisis:1 greece:1 subsequently:1 hand:1 parliament:1 ethic:1 name:1 big:1 exclude:1 socialist:1 edek:1 green:1 |@ngramms cypriot_president:2 cypriot_politician:1 loan_write:2 cypriot_newspaper:2 claim_current:1 dozen_million:2 company_law:1 bank_march:1 party_report:1 meet_company:1 note_worth:1 transfer_money:1 london_respond:1 company_people:1 link_family:1 lead_country:1 ongoing_investigation:1 economy_anastasiades:1 tuesday_request:1 company_question:1 company_politician:1 bank_heart:1 cyprus_bailout:1 crisis_publish:1 cypriot_parliament:1 list_include:1 politician_cyprus:1 big_party:1 |
michelle.obama.80 | Michelle Obama celebrates Chicago roots DENVER -- It was about family. And Chicago. The first day of the Democratic National Convention on Monday featured Michelle Obama talking about her family and saying "That is why I love this country." It was obviously designed as an answer to Republicans who have tried to portray her as unpatriotic, quoting a line in a speech in which Michelle Obama said her husband's run for the president was "the first time" she could be proud of her country. But Monday was also orchestrated to show the softer side of the South Side woman who could become the nation's first African-American first lady. As with the roll-out of running mate Joe Biden on Saturday, the emphasis was all on family and working-class roots. And on Monday, it was also about presenting Michelle Obama as the girl next door. "I come here as a daughter -- raised on the South Side of Chicago by a father who was a blue-collar city worker, and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me," Obama told an enthusiastic crowd waving vertical blue "Michelle" banners. Closing the first night of the convention, her speech also aimed to present her husband as a common man with family experiences voters can relate to. "The Barack Obama I know today is the same man I fell in love with 19 years ago," she said, her voice thick with emotion. "He's the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital 10 years ago this summer, inching along at a snail's pace, peering at us anxiously in the rearview mirror, feeling the whole weight of her future in his hands, determined to give her everything he'd struggled so hard for himself, determined to give her something he never had: the affirming embrace of a father's love," she said. Michelle Obama was introduced by a video presentation featuring her mother, then a live introduction from her brother, Craig Robinson, who evaluated his sister's suitor by playing basketball with him when Obama first started dating Michelle. Robinson talked about conversations with his sister late into the night growing up. "When I wasn't happy doing what I was doing -- investment banking -- she was the one who encouraged me to go back to my first love, teaching and coaching," he said to cheers. The afternoon and evening of speeches also showcased Obama's broader Chicago political family and friends. Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan watched as his daughter, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, talked about eating sandwiches with Obama on the state Senate floor. One row up in the Illinois delegation, former state Senate President Tom Hynes watched as his son, state Comptroller Dan Hynes, spoke of being the first elected official in the nation to call on Obama to run for president. The night's finale belonged to the youngest Obamas. As Michelle Obama finished speaking and her daughters, Malia and Sasha, came out on stage, Barack Obama's live image appeared on-screen behind them praising his wife's performance. "Love you Daddy!" his daughters shouted. The trio of young Illinois presumptive rising stars who spoke Monday -- all of them toying with the idea of running for governor -- closed with Treasurer Alexei Giannoulias. Another second-generation familiar name, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., won a covetted prime-time spot. Obama's mentor, State Senate President Emil Jones; Chicago City Clerk Miguel Del Valle; and the man who brought Obama to Chicago, Jerry Kellman, also spoke, The younger Jackson explained how Obama won over voters of different backgrounds all over Illinois to win his senate seat four years ago and he said Obama's election as president could fulfill Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream. "Forty-five years to the day after a young preacher called out, 'Let freedom ring,'" Jackson said. "Let history show in this fourth week of August in this Mile-High City, freedom in America has never rung from a higher mountaintop than it does here today." Giannoulias said he was Obama's basketball buddy -- Obama considers it good luck to play basketball with Giannoulias on election mornings. "My parents came to this country as Greek immigrants with nothing," Giannoulias said. "But whether your story begins in a small Greek village, or the plains of Kansas, or on the streets of Chicago, we're Americans because we all share the promise of that story." | michelle.obama.80 |@lemmatized michelle:8 obama:19 celebrate:1 chicago:7 root:2 denver:1 family:5 first:8 day:2 democratic:1 national:1 convention:2 monday:4 feature:2 talk:3 say:9 love:5 country:3 obviously:1 design:1 answer:1 republican:1 try:1 portray:1 unpatriotic:1 quote:1 line:1 speech:3 husband:2 run:4 president:5 time:2 could:3 proud:1 also:5 orchestrate:1 show:2 soft:1 side:3 south:2 woman:1 become:1 nation:2 african:1 american:2 lady:1 roll:1 mate:1 joe:1 biden:1 saturday:1 emphasis:1 work:1 class:1 present:2 girl:1 next:1 door:1 come:3 daughter:5 raise:1 father:2 blue:2 collar:1 city:3 worker:1 mother:2 stay:1 home:2 brother:2 tell:1 enthusiastic:1 crowd:1 wave:1 vertical:1 banner:1 close:2 night:3 aim:1 common:1 man:4 experience:1 voter:2 relate:1 barack:2 know:1 today:2 fell:1 year:4 ago:3 voice:1 thick:1 emotion:1 drive:1 new:1 baby:1 hospital:1 summer:1 inch:1 along:1 snail:1 pace:1 peer:1 u:1 anxiously:1 rearview:1 mirror:1 feel:1 whole:1 weight:1 future:1 hand:1 determine:2 give:2 everything:1 struggle:1 hard:1 something:1 never:2 affirm:1 embrace:1 introduce:1 video:1 presentation:1 live:2 introduction:1 craig:1 robinson:2 evaluate:1 sister:2 suitor:1 play:2 basketball:3 start:1 date:1 conversation:1 late:1 grow:1 happy:1 investment:1 banking:1 one:2 encourage:1 go:1 back:1 teaching:1 coaching:1 cheer:1 afternoon:1 evening:1 showcased:1 broad:1 political:1 friend:1 illinois:5 house:1 speaker:1 michael:1 madigan:2 watch:2 attorney:1 general:1 lisa:1 eat:1 sandwich:1 state:4 senate:4 floor:1 row:1 delegation:1 former:1 tom:1 hynes:2 son:1 comptroller:1 dan:1 spoke:1 elect:1 official:1 call:2 finale:1 belong:1 young:4 obamas:1 finish:1 speaking:1 malia:1 sasha:1 stage:1 image:1 appear:1 screen:1 behind:1 praise:1 wife:1 performance:1 daddy:1 shout:1 trio:1 presumptive:1 rise:1 star:1 speak:2 toy:1 idea:1 governor:1 treasurer:1 alexei:1 giannoulias:4 another:1 second:1 generation:1 familiar:1 name:1 rep:1 jesse:1 jackson:3 jr:2 win:3 covetted:1 prime:1 spot:1 mentor:1 emil:1 jones:1 clerk:1 miguel:1 del:1 valle:1 bring:1 jerry:1 kellman:1 explain:1 different:1 background:1 seat:1 four:1 election:2 fulfill:1 martin:1 luther:1 king:1 dream:1 forty:1 five:1 preacher:1 let:2 freedom:2 ring:2 history:1 fourth:1 week:1 august:1 mile:1 high:2 america:1 mountaintop:1 buddy:1 considers:1 good:1 luck:1 morning:1 parent:1 greek:2 immigrant:1 nothing:1 whether:1 story:2 begin:1 small:1 village:1 plain:1 kansa:1 street:1 share:1 promise:1 |@ngramms michelle_obama:6 democratic_national:1 convention_monday:1 run_president:2 proud_country:1 south_side:2 african_american:1 work_class:1 city_worker:1 barack_obama:2 man_drive:1 future_hand:1 determine_give:2 mother_live:1 start_date:1 michelle_robinson:1 late_night:1 chicago_political:1 family_friend:1 daughter_malia:1 prime_time:1 chicago_city:1 obama_win:1 obama_election:1 |
michelle.obama.123 | Michelle Obama, Rihanna Named To People's Best Dressed List Michelle Obama is the first to admit she is a bargain hunter when it comes to fashion and it's paid off as her effortless style has made People magazine's Best Dressed list for 2008. When she was a guest on "The View," one mention from Michelle noting that she bought her sundress off-the-rack at a chain store started a fashion frenzy for the item. Joining Michelle on the list, which didn't rank the stars in any particular order, was Sarah Jessica Parker. Not only is her style sophisticated, but it takes a special kind of dresser to make a flowerpot hat look chic, which Sarah Jessica did at the "Sex and The City" movie premiere in London. In naming her to their list, People wrote Sarah Jessica "effortlessly mixes high-end and affordable prices," no doubt referring to her Bitten line, which sells in the economical fashion chain store, Steve & Barry. Gwyneth Paltrow and her short dresses got her on to People's list because "she plays up her legs," according to the mag. As for Rihanna, it was her stylish hair that helped secure the singer's spot on the list. She was also praised because she "straddles the line between sweet and street." Also named to the best dressed list were supermodel and TV host Heidi Klum, singer Fergie, actress Charlize Theron and actresses Kate Hudson, Eva Mendes and Anne Hathaway. While People stopped short of naming a Worst Dressed list, they did call out several stars including "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul, actresses Lucy Liu, Sienna Miller and Tilda Swinton, and singers Solange Knowles and Tori Amos for wearing the "Worst Dresses."

ParisAttacks2015_(12) | France Unsure if Raid Killed Top Suspect in Paris Attacks ST.-DENIS, France — The assault began before dawn Wednesday at a decrepit squat in a close suburb of Paris when scores of French police officers stormed a third-floor apartment in search of their elusive quarry: Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian suspected of organizing last week's deadly attacks in Paris by the Islamic State. To get through a reinforced door, the police had to set explosives, giving the people inside time to prepare. A furious firefight ensued, with the police unleashing 5,000 rounds over the next hour and employing snipers and grenades. A female suicide bomber exploded her vest, collapsing the floor. When it was all over, the police had swept eight people into custody and found at least two mangled bodies. Mr. Abaaoud had not been taken alive, the authorities said — and it was not clear whether one of the bodies was his. I am not able to give you the definitive number and identities of the people who were killed," the Paris prosecutor, François Molins, said, adding that neither Mr. Abaaoud nor Salah Abdeslam, another suspect in the attacks who has been on the loose, was among those arrested. The day of further violence left Paris on edge once again and much of the world transfixed as the manhunt for Mr. Abaaoud and his accomplices played out. Evening brought only uncertainty about whether the threat had been eradicated or whether Mr. Abaaoud, who has boasted of eluding capture, remained at large. Another aspect of the case centered on the identity of the female suicide bomber, believed to be the first woman affiliated with the Islamic State to have blown herself up, other than those with Boko Haram, the militant Islamist group in Nigeria. Two French intelligence officials briefed on the investigation said she was believed to be a cousin of Mr. Abaaoud, Hasna Aitboulahcen, 26, who worked for a nearby company. Mr. Molins suggested that the raid might have averted another terrorist attack, given the determination and organization shown by the group and the extent of its weaponry. "This commando group was ready to act," he said. The breakthrough appeared to have come with a tip on Monday night: Mr. Abbaoud, an Islamic State militant linked to a series of previous attacks, was not in Syria, as some intelligence officials had thought, or his native Belgium. If the tip was to be believed, he was in France. The authorities pored over telephone and banking records, Mr. Molins said. One clue led to another, until the authorities concluded that it was likely that Mr. Abbaoud was holed up in St.-Denis, the suburb on the northern edge of Paris where the attacks began last Friday night at 9:20 p.m. with a suicide explosion at the nearby national soccer stadium. At 4:20 a.m. Paris time on Wednesday, police assault teams stormed the three-story building on the Rue du Corbillon, which local officials and neighbors described as a drug-infested and dangerous street that has many squatters. Backed by truckloads of soldiers, 110 officers from two special police units cordoned off an area near the Place Jean Jaurès, a main square in the medieval heart of the city. Advertisement Continue reading the main story Djamila Khaldi, a 54-year-old cashier who lives near the basilica, was preparing to take her daughter to the airport when the gunfire erupted. Ms. Khaldi said she was not surprised the police had tracked the suspects to the neighborhood. She said a friend of hers believed she had seen Mr. Abdeslam on Monday. "She was terrified, and she looked at another woman knowing that she recognized him too," Ms. Khaldi said. "They did not dare to go to the police." The police conducted a simultaneous raid on the nearby Boulevard Carnot, the home of someone identified as having been in contact with the people at the Rue du Corbillon. The apartment was empty and no weapons were found there, but a man and a woman outside the apartment were detained. Before he was handcuffed and led away by the police, the man told Agence France-Presse that he had lent the apartment to the men as a favor to a friend: "I said that there was no mattress, they told me, 'It's not a problem,' they just wanted water and to pray." St.-Denis, a city of 118,000, is known for its melting-pot population and large Muslim community, as well as a Gothic basilica where many French monarchs are buried. As the raids were being carried out, the police shouted at pedestrians to get off the street or seek cover; officers even broke through the door of a small church, St.-Denys de l'Estrée, chasing down what turned out to be a false alarm. At 11:47 a.m., after more than seven hours, a government spokesman, Stéphane Le Foll, declared that the operation was over. Five police officers were slightly wounded, and a 7-year-old police dog, a Malinois named Diesel, was killed. Prime Minister Manuel Valls, Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and Justice Minister Christiane Taubira had joined President François Hollande and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve at the Élysée Palace to monitor the operation. The raid was just the most spectacular of an aggressive counterterrorism campaign the French government has been conducting since Friday night. Officials said Wednesday that they had identified all 129 who were killed Friday. Mr. Cazeneuve said Wednesday that the police had conducted 414 raids across the country over the past three nights. Sixty people have been arrested and detained, and 75 weapons seized, including 11 heavy weapons, 33 long firearms and 31 handguns, the statement said. An additional 118 people were put under house arrest. Officials have been piecing together the planning for the attacks. They said that some of the plotters had rented a house in the northeast Paris suburb of Bobigny, and others took a hotel suite in the southeast Paris suburb of Alfortville. Mr. Molins said a cellphone found in a trash can near the Bataclan concert hall, where 89 people died Friday, had led the police to the Alfortville hotel. The phone contained a text message — "on est parti on commence" — that loosely translates as "here we go, we're starting" or as "we have left, we're starting." Mr. Molins said investigators had determined that the attackers arrived in Paris on Thursday in three cars rented by Mr. Abdeslam and his brother Ibrahim, who would blow himself up in a cafe on Friday night after shooting numerous Parisians in bars and restaurants. After the raids, Mr. Hollande told a conference of French mayors that the operation "confirms that we are at war." He said he would travel to Washington next week to meet with President Obama, and to Moscow two days later to meet with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, to discuss the formation of "a large coalition" to act "decisively" against the Islamic State, which is also known as ISIS or ISIL. "Daesh has financial and oil resources, and has created young radical Islamists through complicity in Europe and within our own country," Mr. Hollande told the gathering, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State. "Their attacks bloodied Paris and St.-Denis," he added, "but it is the entire country that has been attacked." Mr. Hollande declared a state of emergency on Friday and has sought sweeping new authority, including constitutional amendments, which he says would make it easier to fight terrorism. On Wednesday, he said the government would help the mayors equip and arm local police officers. He also said that the government was introducing legislation that would make it possible to "immediately" dissolve organizations that glorify terrorism. "I say it firmly: France will remain the country of liberty, of movements, of culture," he said. "An active, valiant, dynamic country." "What would France be without its museums, without its terraces, without its concerts, without its sports competitions?" he added. Belgium, where Mr. Abaaoud is believed to have organized the attacks, remained on a state of high alert on Wednesday. The number of federal police officers patrolling Brussels will be doubled starting Thursday, to 40 from 20 during the day, and to 30 from 15 at night, Interior Minister Jan Jambon announced. Molenbeek, a working-class Brussels neighborhood, was the base for Mr. Abaaoud, the plotting suspect, and for the Abdeslam brothers. (A third brother, Mohamed, who lives there, was not involved in the attacks and has pleaded for Salah to turn himself in.) In Molenbeek on Wednesday, some 2,000 people gathered in the market square, not far from where Mr. Abaaoud grew up, to mourn the victims of the Paris attacks. Security was tight — police frisked everyone upon entering — but the vigil went on without incident. | ParisAttacks2015_(12) |@lemmatized france:6 unsure:1 raid:7 kill:4 top:1 suspect:5 paris:12

samsung.galaxy.s5.42 | Samsung: Galaxy S5 sales stronger than Galaxy S4 In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Samsung's co-chief executive and head of the mobile business J.K. Shin confirmed what some reports already revealed – that the Galaxy S5 has been selling very well in the first month – and provided a sales number for the phone's first month. Shin said that Samsung managed to sell 11 million Galaxy S5 units in the first month, beating the Galaxy S4 first month sales by 1 million units. "It's been a month since we began selling the S5, and out of the gate, sales are much stronger than the Galaxy S4," Shin said, adding that sales are particularly good in developed markets including the U.S., Australia and Germany. Shin explained that the better Galaxy S5 performance is due to "better preparations than in previous years," including a wider roll out, major carrier agreements and expanded presence in stores such as Best Buy. Interestingly, Shin said that when designing the Galaxy S5, Samsung took into account input received from after-service centers. Apparently 30% of the phones brought to its service centers were turned in "because people were spilling coffee over them or dropping them in water." Shin also sort of acknowledged that the phone could be better, but defended the product, which received some criticism following its launch. "It may not have eye-popping technology but the features are practical," said Mr. Shin. Samsung also said that in the coming months, variations of the Galaxy S5 will be released in various countries without revealing their product names. The company is expected to soon launch a Galaxy S5 Prime and a Galaxy S5 Active. | samsung.galaxy.s5.42 |@lemmatized samsung:5 galaxy:11 sale:5 strong:2 interview:1 wall:1 street:1 journal:1 co:1 chief:1 executive:1 head:1 mobile:1 business:1 j:1 k:1 shin:7 confirm:1 report:1 already:1 reveal:2 sell:3 well:1 first:4 month:6 provide:1 number:1 phone:3 say:5 manage:1 million:2 unit:2 beat:1 since:1 begin:1 gate:1 much:1 add:1 particularly:1 good:4 developed:1 market:1 include:2 u:1 australia:1 germany:1 explain:1 performance:1 due:1 preparation:1 previous:1 year:1 wider:1 roll:1 major:1 carrier:1 agreement:1 expand:1 presence:1 store:1 best:1 buy:1 interestingly:1 design:1 take:1 account:1 input:1 receive:2 service:2 center:2 apparently:1 bring:1 turn:1 people:1 spill:1 coffee:1 drop:1 water:1 also:2 sort:1 acknowledge:1 could:1 defend:1 product:2 criticism:1 follow:1 launch:2 may:1 eye:1 pop:1 technology:1 feature:1 practical:1 mr:1 coming:1 variation:1 release:1 various:1 country:1 without:1 name:1 company:1 expect:1 soon:1 prime:1 active:1 |@ngramms samsung_galaxy:1 sale_strong:1 wall_street:1 chief_executive:1 mobile_business:1 sale_number:1 samsung_manage:1 sell_million:1 galaxy_unit:1 beat_galaxy:1 million_unit:1 strong_galaxy:1 australia_germany:1 galaxy_performance:1 major_carrier:1 design_galaxy:1 service_center:2 phone_bring:1 galaxy_release:1 launch_galaxy:1 galaxy_active:1 |
samsung.galaxy.s5.29 | Google Has Strangled The Innovation Out Of The Samsung Galaxy S5's TouchWiz UI Samsung took to the stage at MWC this evening to introduce their next flagship smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S5 will launch worldwide on April 11, and the South Korean company showed off the new hardware in Barcelona. The S5 hardware sports biometrics, fitness sensors, and waterproofing, along with a faster processor and improved screen when compared to the S4. What hasn't changed is the user interface. Even if Samsung had wanted to bring a new paradigm to the platform, a recent agreement with Google forced the S5 to remain closely aligned to stock Android. The South Korean company has spent many years pushing TouchWiz, their own UI layer, onto the 200 million Galaxy S units sold, minimizing the moments where Google is visible to the customer and delivering an experience they believe is suitable for their user base. The problematic distance between Android and TouchWiz came to a head at this year's CES with the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro and Tab Pro, both sporting the new Magazine UX. A few days later Google and Samsung had signed a new global patent deal which included a number of restrictions on Samsung's UI layer for Android. So it was with keen interest that I was watching the Galaxy S5 presentation this afternoon to see Samsung's approach to the user interface after that agreement. Samsung Galaxy S5 (image: Samsung press) In Samsung's words, the UI has been "refined to provide a clean and uncluttered look." While the basic navigation is retained from the Galaxy S4, this more open and simple look is far closer to Google's vision of a mobile UI than it is Samsung's. The Galaxy S5 could easily have brought on board components of the Magazine UX to the 5.1 inch HD screen, it could have considered new presentational elements and paradigms that are proving a success on other handsets and mobile platforms, and it could have iterated on the user feedback of TouchWiz to create a newer and faster experience. Instead, Samsung has remained with a grid-based metaphor which forces users to go into an app, return to the home screen, and open another app. That does not sit well with the introduction of always connected peripherals (including the Gear 2 smartwatch and Gear Fit body tracker), a focus on photography, and improved connectivity to share more moments from life as quickly as possible, The Galaxy S5 does its best to stand out in hardware, but the majority of hardware is hidden behind the screen and the UI. Unfortunately Samsung has not been able to bring that same innovation to TouchWiz. As part of the aforementioned patent deal, Samsung agreed to "tone down TouchWiz, refocus on core Android apps over its own customisations, and cancel more radical customisations such as the magazine UX" (Forbes' Gordon Kelly has more on this). The biggest loser in this is surely the Galaxy S5. It's unlikely that we will know the pressure Google placed Samsung under to bias the TouchWiz, and therefore the Galaxy S5, towards a stock Android look but I would have expected the UI on the S5 to have received just as much additional detail and improved functionality as the hardware inside the flagship smartphone has. Instead I see a device that on first glance is a very slightly bigger Galaxy S4 with a new wallpaper. Samsung has been forced to pass over an opportunity to really differentiate their handset in the public's eye through software. While the S5 is likely to sell upwards of 40 million devices over the next twelve months, the smartphone looks almost identical to the S4, more than a passing resemblance to the S3, and will struggle to stand out against a sea of almost identical interfaces on competing Android devices. While the South Korean company has the lion's share of Android sales, the ability to customise the user interface and how their smartphone actually works has been taken away from them. Samsung has found the limit of innovation in Android, Google has spoken, and as a result the Galaxy S5's software is a shadow of what it could have been. | samsung.galaxy.s5.29 |@lemmatized google:7 strangle:1 innovation:3 samsung:18 galaxy:13 touchwiz:7 ui:7 take:2 stage:1 mwc:1 evening:1 introduce:1 next:2 flagship:2 smartphone:4 launch:1 worldwide:1 april:1 south:3 korean:3 company:3 show:1 new:7 hardware:5 barcelona:1 sport:2 biometrics:1 fitness:1 sensor:1 waterproofing:1 along:1 faster:2 processor:1 improve:1 screen:4 compare:1 change:1 user:6 interface:4 even:1 want:1 bring:3 paradigm:2 platform:2 recent:1 agreement:2 force:3 remain:2 closely:1 align:1 stock:2 android:8 spend:1 many:1 year:2 push:1 layer:2 onto:1 million:2 unit:1 sell:2 minimize:1 moment:2 visible:1 customer:1 deliver:1 experience:2 believe:1 suitable:1 base:2 problematic:1 distance:1 come:1 head:1 ce:1 announcement:1 note:1 pro:2 tab:1 magazine:3 ux:3 day:1 later:1 sign:1 global:1 patent:2 deal:2 include:2 number:1 restriction:1 keen:1 interest:1 watch:1 presentation:1 afternoon:1 see:2 approach:1 image:1 press:1 word:1 refine:1 provide:1 clean:1 uncluttered:1 look:4 basic:1 navigation:1 retain:1 open:2 simple:1 far:1 closer:1 vision:1 mobile:2 could:4 easily:1 board:1 component:1 inch:1 hd:1 consider:1 presentational:1 element:1 prove:1 success:1 handset:2 iterate:1 feedback:1 create:1 instead:2 grid:1 metaphor:1 go:1 app:2 return:1 home:1 another:1 sit:1 well:1 introduction:1 always:1 connect:1 peripheral:1 gear:2 smartwatch:1 fit:1 body:1 tracker:1 focus:1 photography:1 improved:2 connectivity:1 share:2 life:1 quickly:1 possible:1 best:1 stand:2 majority:1 hide:1 behind:1 unfortunately:1 able:1 part:1 aforementioned:1 agree:1 tone:1 refocus:1 core:1 apps:1 customisations:2 cancel:1 radical:1 forbes:1 gordon:1 kelly:1 big:2 loser:1 surely:1 unlikely:1 know:1 pressure:1 place:1 bias:1 therefore:1 towards:1 would:1 expect:1 receive:1 much:1 additional:1 detail:1 functionality:1 inside:1 device:3 first:1 glance:1 slightly:1 wallpaper:1 pass:1 opportunity:1 really:1 differentiate:1 public:1 eye:1 software:2 likely:1 upwards:1 twelve:1 month:1 almost:2 identical:2 passing:1 resemblance:1 struggle:1 sea:1 compete:1 lion:1 sale:1 ability:1 customise:1 actually:1 work:1 away:1 find:1 limit:1 speak:1 result:1 shadow:1 |@ngramms samsung_galaxy:5 touchwiz_ui:2 flagship_smartphone:2 faster_processor:1 user_interface:3 recent_agreement:1 force_remain:1 stock_android:2 galaxy_unit:1 user_base:1 google_samsung:1 include_number:1 samsung_remain:1 include_gear:1 gear_fit:1 tone_touchwiz:1 core_android:1 pressure_google:1 big_galaxy:1 android_device:1 android_google:1 galaxy_software:1 |
ParisAttacks2015_(32) | Paris attacks: France mobilises 115,000 security personnel France has mobilised 115,000 security personnel in the wake of Friday's Paris attacks by Islamist militants, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said. Mr Cazeneuve said 128 more raids on suspected militants were carried out. French air strikes also hit Islamic State in Syria overnight. IS has said it carried out the attacks on bars, restaurants, a concert hall and a stadium in which 129 people died. A huge manhunt is under way for one of the suspects, Salah Abdeslam. He is believed to have fled across the border to his native Belgium. Belgian police have released more pictures of the wanted man. Follow the latest live updates Belgium's government has raised its terror threat level because of the failure so far to arrest Abdeslam. Tuesday's football match between the national team and Spain has been cancelled as a result. Mr Cazeneuve said: "We have mobilised 115,000 police, gendarmes and military over the whole of our national territory to insure the protection of French people." The interior minister added that 128 raids on suspected Islamist militants had been carried out overnight on Monday to Tuesday. More than 160 raids were made earlier on Monday, with 23 people arrested and dozens of weapons seized. French media reported that during raids police found a safe house used by the attackers in Bobigny, a suburb of Paris. Abdeslam's brother Brahim, who died in the attacks, is thought to have rented it. A property in another suburb, Alfortville, has also been identified as being used by the attackers, and a car is being investigated, media said. German media reported three arrests near Aachen, on the Belgian border, in an operation linked to the attacks. Meanwhile France has invoked a previously unused clause in the Treaty on European Union obliging other member states to provide it with "aid and assistance by all means in their power". Within minutes, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said that all 28 member states had agreed. "Today France asked the European Union for aid and assistance. And today the whole of Europe replied in unison: 'Yes'." she tweeted (in French). The measures came as US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Paris. After meeting French President Francois Hollande, he said everyone understood that after Paris and other recent attacks "we have to step up efforts to hit them at the core" and improve border security. He added that Syria was weeks away from a "big transition" after international talks in Vienna at the weekend. Mr Hollande is due to fly to Washington and Moscow next week for talks with US and Russian leaders. Meanwhile early on Tuesday, French warplanes carried out fresh strikes against the IS stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria, the army general staff said, destroying a command centre and training centre. The attacks in Paris - which also left more than 400 people wounded, some critically - have galvanised Western countries in their campaign against the so-called Islamic State. UK Chancellor George Osborne said in a speech that IS was trying to develop the ability to launch deadly cyber-attacks on the UK. President Hollande's proposals Extension of state of emergency by three months Changes to the constitution to allow the government to revoke citizenship of any convicted terrorists of dual nationality. Currently only those born outside France and naturalised can lose their citizenship Measures to speed up expulsion of foreign nationals considered a threat to public order Budget increases and extra recruitment to security forces and judiciary During a visit to the GCHQ listening station in Cheltenham, he announced that the UK's investment in fighting cybercrime would double. President Hollande told a rare joint session of the French parliament on Monday that he would table a bill to extend for three months the state of emergency declared after the attacks. Parliament will vote on the measure on Wednesday. According to Prime Minister Manuel Valls, intelligence services have files on 10,500 individuals who have been radicalised to a greater or lesser extent. Suspected Paris attackers Salah Abdeslam, 26 - urgently sought by police Brahim Abdeslam, 31 - named as attacker who died near Bataclan concert hall Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29, from near Paris - died in attack on Bataclan Bilal Hadfi, 20 - named as attacker who died at Stade de France Ahmad al-Mohammad, 25, from Idlib, Syria - died at Stade de France (unverified) Samy Amimour, 28, from near Paris - suicide bomber at Bataclan Two other attackers died during the assaults in the city Who were the attackers? Omar Mostefai's gangster days The Belgian connection As well as the attackers themselves, investigators are also reported to be focusing on a Belgian of Moroccan descent who is described as the possible mastermind of the attacks. Abdelhamid Abaoud, 27, lived in the Molenbeek neighbourhood of Brussels, as did two of the attackers, and is now believed to be based in Syria, where he has risen through the ranks of IS. What is Islamic State? IS is a notoriously violent Islamist group which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. It has declared its territory a caliphate - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law - under its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. What does it want? IS demands allegiance from all Muslims, rejects national borders and seeks to expand its territory. It follows its own extreme version of Sunni Islam and regards non-believers as deserving of death. How strong is IS? IS projects a powerful image, partly through propaganda and sheer brutality, and is the world's richest insurgent group. It has about 30,000 fighters but is facing daily bombing by a US-led multi-national coalition, which has vowed to destroy it. | ParisAttacks2015_(32) |@lemmatized paris:9 attack:11 france:7 mobilise:3 security:4 personnel:2 wake:1 friday:1 islamist:3 militant:3 interior:2 minister:3 bernard:1 cazeneuve:3 say:9 mr:3 raid:4 suspected:2 carry:4 french:7 air:1 strike:2 also:4 hit:2 islamic:4 state:9 syria:6 overnight:2 bar:1 restaurant:1 concert:2 hall:2 stadium:1 people:4 die:7 huge:1 manhunt:1 way:1 one:1 suspect:2 salah:2 abdeslam:5 believe:2 flee:1 across:1 border:4 native:1 belgium:2 belgian:4 police:4 release:1 picture:1 wanted:1 man:1 follow:2 late:1 live:2 update:1 government:2 raise:1 terror:1 threat:2 level:1 failure:1 far:1 arrest:3 tuesday:3 football:1 match:1 national:5 team:1 spain:1 cancel:1 result:1 gendarme:1 military:1 whole:2 territory:3 insure:1 protection:1 add:2 monday:3 make:1 earlier:1 dozen:1 weapon:1 seize:1 medium:3 report:3 find:1 safe:1 house:1 use:2 attacker:9 bobigny:1 suburb:2 brother:1 brahim:2 think:1 rent:1 property:1 another:1 alfortville:1 identify:1 car:1 investigate:1 german:1 three:3 near:4 aachen:1 operation:1 link:1 meanwhile:2 invoke:1 previously:1 unused:1 clause:1 treaty:1 european:2 union:2 oblige:1 member:2 provide:1 aid:2 assistance:2 mean:1 power:1 within:1 minute:1 eu:1 foreign:2 policy:1 chief:1 federica:1 mogherini:1 agree:1 today:2 ask:1 europe:1 reply:1 unison:1 yes:1 tweet:1 measure:3 come:1 u:3 secretary:1 john:1 kerry:1 visit:2 meet:1 president:3 francois:1 hollande:4 everyone:1 understood:1 recent:1 step:1 effort:1 core:1 improve:1 week:2 away:1 big:1 transition:1 international:1 talk:2 vienna:1 weekend:1 due:1 fly:1 washington:1 moscow:1 next:1 russian:1 leader:2 early:1 warplane:1 fresh:1 stronghold:1 raqqa:1 northern:1 army:1 general:1 staff:1 destroy:2 command:1 centre:2 training:1 leave:1 wound:1 critically:1 galvanise:1 western:1 country:1 campaign:1 call:1 uk:3 chancellor:1 george:1 osborne:1 speech:1 try:1 develop:1 ability:1 launch:1 deadly:1 cyber:1 proposal:1 extension:1 emergency:2 month:2 change:1 constitution:1 allow:1 revoke:1 citizenship:2 convicted:1 terrorist:1 dual:1 nationality:1 currently:1 bear:1 outside:1 naturalised:1 lose:1 speed:1 expulsion:1 consider:1 public:1 order:1 budget:1 increase:1 extra:1 recruitment:1 force:1 judiciary:1 gchq:1 listen:1 station:1 cheltenham:1 announce:1 investment:1 fight:1 cybercrime:1 would:2 double:1 tell:1 rare:1 joint:1 session:1 parliament:2 table:1 bill:1 extend:1 declare:2 vote:1 wednesday:1 accord:1 prime:1 manuel:1 valls:1 intelligence:1 service:1 file:1 individual:1 radicalised:1 great:1 less:1 extent:1 urgently:1 seek:2 name:2 bataclan:3 omar:2 ismail:1 mostefai:2 bilal:1 hadfi:1 stade:2 de:2 ahmad:1 al:2 mohammad:1 idlib:1 unverified:1 samy:1 amimour:1 suicide:1 bomber:1 two:2 assault:1 city:1 gangster:1 day:1 connection:1 well:1 investigator:1 focus:1 moroccan:1 descent:1 describe:1 possible:1 mastermind:1 abdelhamid:1 abaoud:1 molenbeek:1 neighbourhood:1 brussels:1 base:1 rise:1 rank:1 notoriously:1 violent:1 group:2 control:1 large:1 part:1 iraq:1 caliphate:1 govern:1 accordance:1 law:1 abu:1 bakr:1 baghdadi:1 want:1 demand:1 allegiance:1 muslim:1 reject:1 expand:1 extreme:1 version:1 sunni:1 islam:1 regard:1 non:1 believer:1 deserving:1 death:1 strong:1 project:1 powerful:1 image:1 partly:1 propaganda:1 sheer:1 brutality:1 world:1 richest:1 insurgent:1 fighter:1 face:1 daily:1 bomb:1 lead:1 multi:1 coalition:1 vow:1 |@ngramms paris_attack:2 islamist_militant:1 interior_minister:2 raid_suspected:2 militant_carry:2 air_strike:1 islamic_state:3 carry_attack:1 bar_restaurant:1 concert_hall:1 people_die:1 salah_abdeslam:2 belgian_police:1 follow_late:1 threat_level:1 football_match:1 national_team:1 french_people:1 earlier_monday:1 people_arrest:1 french_medium:1 police_find:1 safe_house:1 suburb_paris:1 abdeslam_brother:1 die_attack:1 medium_report:1 belgian_border:1 link_attack:1 european_union:2 member_state:2 foreign_policy:1 state_john:1 french_president:1 mr_hollande:1 due_fly:1 northern_syria:1 attack_paris:1 leave_people:1 president_hollande:2 state_emergency:2 measure_speed:1 threat_public:1 security_force:1 parliament_monday:1 parliament_vote:1 prime_minister:1 intelligence_service:1 paris_attacker:1 seek_police:1 brahim_abdeslam:1 attacker_die:2 bataclan_concert_hall:1 attack_bataclan:1 ahmad_al:1 suicide_bomber:1 city_attacker:1 omar_mostefai:1 belgian_connection:1 attack_abdelhamid:1 live_molenbeek:1 islamist_group:1 syria_iraq:1 |
michelle.obama.95 | First Lady Michelle Obama When people ask First Lady Michelle Obama to describe herself, she doesn't hesitate to say that first and foremost, she is Malia and Sasha's mom. But before she was a mother — or a wife, lawyer, or public servant — she was Fraser and Marian Robinson's daughter. The Robinsons lived in a brick bungalow on the South Side of Chicago. Fraser was a pump operator for the Chicago Water Department, and despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at a young age, he hardly ever missed a day of work. Marian stayed home to raise Michelle and her older brother Craig, skillfully managing a busy household filled with love, laughter, and important life lessons. A product of Chicago public schools, Michelle Robinson studied sociology and African-American studies at Princeton University. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1988, she joined the Chicago law firm Sidley & Austin, where she later met Barack Obama, the man who would become the love of her life. After a few years, Mrs. Obama decided her true calling was working with people to serve their communities and their neighbors. She served as assistant commissioner of planning and development in Chicago's City Hall before becoming the founding executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies, an AmeriCorps program that prepares youth for public service. In 1996, Mrs. Obama joined the University of Chicago with a vision of bringing campus and community together. As Associate Dean of Student Services, she developed the university's first community service program, and under her leadership as Vice President of Community and External Affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center, volunteerism skyrocketed. Mrs. Obama has continued her efforts to support and inspire young people during her time as First Lady. In 2010, she launched Let's Move!, bringing together community leaders, educators, medical professionals, parents, and others in a nationwide effort to address the challenge of childhood obesity. Let's Move! has an ambitious goal: to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation. Whether it's providing healthier food in our schools, helping kids be more physically active, or urging companies to market healthier foods to our children, Let's Move! is focused on giving parents the support they need to make healthier choices for their kids. In 2011, Mrs. Obama and Dr. Jill Biden came together to launch Joining Forces, a nationwide initiative calling all Americans to rally around service members, veterans, and their families and support them through wellness, education, and employment opportunities. Joining Forces works hand in hand with the public and private sector to ensure that service members, veterans, and their families have the tools they need to succeed throughout their lives. In 2014, Mrs. Obama launched the Reach Higher Initiative, an effort to inspire young people across America to take charge of their future by completing their education past high school, whether at a professional training program, a community college, or a four-year college or university. Reach Higher aims to ensure that all students understand what they need to complete their education by working to expose students to college and career opportunities; helping them understand financial aid eligibility; encouraging academic planning and summer learning opportunities; and supporting high school counselors who do essential work to help students get into college. As First Lady, Mrs. Obama looks forward to continuing her work on the issues close to her heart — supporting military families, helping children lead healthier lives, and encouraging all our young people to fulfill their boundless promise. Michelle and Barack Obama have two daughters: Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13. Like their mother, the girls were born on the South Side of Chicago. | michelle.obama.95 |@lemmatized first:6 lady:4 michelle:5 obama:10 people:5 ask:1 describe:1 hesitate:1 say:1 foremost:1 malia:2 sasha:2 mom:1 mother:2 wife:1 lawyer:1 public:5 servant:1 fraser:2 marian:2 robinson:3 daughter:2 live:1 brick:1 bungalow:1 south:2 side:2 chicago:9 pump:1 operator:1 water:1 department:1 despite:1 diagnose:1 multiple:1 sclerosis:1 young:4 age:1 hardly:1 ever:1 miss:1 day:1 work:6 stay:1 home:1 raise:1 old:1 brother:1 craig:1 skillfully:1 manage:1 busy:1 household:1 fill:1 love:2 laughter:1 important:1 life:4 lesson:1 product:1 school:5 study:2 sociology:1 african:1 american:2 princeton:1 university:5 graduate:1 harvard:1 law:2 join:4 firm:1 sidley:1 austin:1 later:1 meet:1 barack:2 man:1 would:1 become:2 year:2 mr:6 decide:1 true:1 call:2 serve:2 community:6 neighbor:1 assistant:1 commissioner:1 planning:2 development:1 city:1 hall:1 founding:1 executive:1 director:1 chapter:1 ally:1 americorps:1 program:3 prepare:1 youth:1 service:5 vision:1 bring:2 campus:1 together:3 associate:1 dean:1 student:4 develop:1 leadership:1 vice:1 president:1 external:1 affair:1 medical:2 center:1 volunteerism:1 skyrocket:1 continue:2 effort:3 support:5 inspire:2 time:1 launch:3 let:3 move:3 leader:1 educator:1 professional:2 parent:2 others:1 nationwide:2 address:1 challenge:1 childhood:2 obesity:2 ambitious:1 goal:1 solve:1 epidemic:1 within:1 generation:1 whether:2 provide:1 healthy:4 food:2 help:4 kid:2 physically:1 active:1 urge:1 company:1 market:1 child:2 focus:1 give:1 need:3 make:1 choice:1 dr:1 jill:1 biden:1 come:1 force:2 initiative:2 rally:1 around:1 member:2 veteran:2 family:3 wellness:1 education:3 employment:1 opportunity:3 hand:2 private:1 sector:1 ensure:2 tool:1 succeed:1 throughout:1 reach:2 higher:1 across:1 america:1 take:1 charge:1 future:1 complete:2 past:1 high:3 training:1 college:4 four:1 aim:1 understand:2 expose:1 career:1 financial:1 aid:1 eligibility:1 encouraging:1 academic:1 summer:1 learning:1 counselor:1 essential:1 get:1 look:1 forward:1 issue:1 close:1 heart:1 military:1 lead:1 encourage:1 fulfill:1 boundless:1 promise:1 two:1 like:1 girl:1 bear:1 |@ngramms michelle_obama:2 malia_sasha:1 south_side:2 water_department:1 young_age:1 raise_michelle:1 product_chicago:1 public_school:1 michelle_robinson:1 african_american:1 harvard_law:1 law_firm:1 barack_obama:2 mr_obama:6 city_hall:1 executive_director:1 public_ally:1 public_service:1 university_chicago:2 student_service:1 develop_university:1 service_program:1 president_community:1 medical_center:1 young_people:3 healthy_food:2 company_market:1 join_force:2 service_member:2 effort_inspire:1 complete_education:2 high_school:2 continue_work:1 military_family:1 daughter_malia:1 |

michelle.obama.56 | Michelle Obama: Mom First, Political Wife Second Michelle Obama wants you to know she's a mom first, political wife second. So while she's flying to South Carolina to spend four days campaigning for her husband, she'll take a minute to check an e-mail from her 9-year-old daughter Malia's teacher. The e-mail this morning caught her off guard. It said that Malia had been talking about "scary people" and "kidnapping" being one of the things she finds "un-cool" during a class discussion. As it turned out, Obama told a gathering of women in Greenville there was nothing to be concerned about. Little Malia was only joking, she told her panicked mom by phone. "I shouldn't say that in front of the cameras," Michelle Obama said as she quickly glanced at a gaggle of reporters in the back Meet Mrs. Obama Just three days before the South Carolina primary, there is an intense focus on the words of the spouses of the front-runners. Just ask former President Bill Clinton. "Look at all these people! Where did you all come from?" Michelle Obama asked as she entered the ladies lunch in Greenville. She seemed genuinely surprised to be the subject of so much attention. Michelle Obama spoke to the 150 or so women at the Lazy Goat restaurant, shook some hands and posed for photos. She declined to take any questions from reporters and said nothing directly about Hillary Clinton -- or her famous spouse. But she did speak passionately about her life as a working mom and the reasons she thinks she deserves to be first lady. Michelle Obama still holds a part-time position as vice president for community and external affairs at he University of Chicago Hospitals. Last year she scaled back her hours to part-time to make room for helping her husband's campaign. She has said that she carries two BlackBerries while out on the campaign trail -- one for work and the other for the campaign trail. Personal Touch Michelle Obama's speech Wednesday stood in contrast to the typical speech former President Clinton has delivered on the trail. He dwells on the details of policy -- exhaustive explanations of his wife's positions on health care, Iraq, education and other subjects. The Illinois senator's spouse highlights the personal. Obama began with a story she rarely tells in public. She described what it was like deciding whether to go back to work after having her second child, Sasha. "Every minute after I had my first child I questioned my decisions," Obama said as women in the audience nodded along. One day she would love work. The next day she would feel like quitting. She told of interviewing for a new job when Sasha was just 4 months old. She didn't think she wanted the job, so she tried to sabotage the interview by bringing the baby along, nursing Sasha just before the interview and demanding a high salary. She got the job. But she struggled with the balance, she said. She still does, saying she worries about her children every day. "We've been told we can have it all. The truth of the matter is that you can't. You can't have it all at the same time." Obama said her husband gets it. "He's watched my struggle and the pain that I have had as a woman." Obama said her support for her husband "comes straight from my motherhood bones". Generation Next Obama also said the nation is too cynical and afraid, and she worries about the next generation. | michelle.obama.56 |@lemmatized michelle:7 obama:14 mom:4 first:4 political:2 wife:3 second:3 want:2 know:1 fly:1 south:2 carolina:2 spend:1 four:1 day:5 campaign:4 husband:4 take:2 minute:2 check:1 e:2 mail:2 year:2 old:2 daughter:1 malia:3 teacher:1 morning:1 catch:1 guard:1 say:11 talk:1 scary:1 people:2 kidnap:1 one:3 thing:1 find:1 un:1 cool:1 class:1 discussion:1 turn:1 tell:5 gathering:1 woman:4 greenville:2 nothing:2 concern:1 little:1 joking:1 panic:1 phone:1 front:2 camera:1 quickly:1 glance:1 gaggle:1 reporter:2 back:3 meet:1 mr:1 three:1 primary:1 intense:1 focus:1 word:1 spouse:3 runner:1 ask:2 former:2 president:3 bill:1 clinton:3 look:1 come:2 enter:1 lady:2 lunch:1 seem:1 genuinely:1 surprise:1 subject:2 much:1 attention:1 spoke:1 lazy:1 goat:1 restaurant:1 shake:1 hand:1 pose:1 photo:1 decline:1 question:2 directly:1 hillary:1 famous:1 speak:1 passionately:1 life:1 work:4 reason:1 think:2 deserve:1 still:2 hold:1 part:2 time:3 position:2 vice:1 community:1 external:1 affair:1 university:1 chicago:1 hospital:1 last:1 scale:1 hour:1 make:1 room:1 help:1 carry:1 two:1 blackberry:1 trail:3 personal:2 touch:1 speech:2 wednesday:1 stand:1 contrast:1 typical:1 deliver:1 dwell:1 detail:1 policy:1 exhaustive:1 explanation:1 health:1 care:1 iraq:1 education:1 illinois:1 senator:1 highlight:1 begin:1 story:1 rarely:1 public:1 describe:1 like:2 decide:1 whether:1 go:1 child:3 sasha:3 every:2 decision:1 audience:1 nod:1 along:2 would:2 love:1 next:3 feel:1 quit:1 interview:3 new:1 job:3 month:1 try:1 sabotage:1 bring:1 baby:1 nurse:1 demand:1 high:1 salary:1 get:2 struggle:2 balance:1 worry:2 truth:1 matter:1 watch:1 pain:1 support:1 straight:1 motherhood:1 bone:1 generation:2 also:1 nation:1 cynical:1 afraid:1 |@ngramms michelle_obama:7 political_wife:2 fly_south:1 daughter_malia:1 catch_guard:1 front_camera:1 mr_obama:1 bill_clinton:1 shake_hand:1 hillary_clinton:1 part_time:2 president_community:1 university_chicago:1 husband_campaign:1 health_care:1 illinois_senator:1 |
barack.obama.3 | Though Obama Had to Leave to Find Himself, It Is Hawaii That Made His Rise Possible On weekday mornings as a teenager, Barry Obama left his grandparents' apartment on the 10th floor of the 12-story high-rise at 1617 S. Beretania, a mile and a half above Waikiki Beach, and walked up Punahou Street in the shadows of capacious banyan trees and date palms. Before crossing the overpass above the H1 freeway, where traffic zoomed east to body-surfing beaches or west to the airport and Pearl Harbor, he passed Kapiolani Medical Center, walking below the hospital room where he was born on Aug. 4, 1961. Two blocks farther along, at the intersection with Wilder, he could look left toward the small apartment on Poki where he had spent a few years with his little sister, Maya, and his mother, Ann, back when she was getting her master's degree at the University of Hawaii before she left again for Indonesia. Soon enough he was at the lower edge of Punahou School, the gracefully sloping private campus where he studied some and played basketball more. An adolescent life told in five Honolulu blocks, confined and compact, but far, far away. Apart from other unprecedented aspects of his rise, it is a geographical truth that no politician in American history has traveled farther than Barack Obama to be within reach of the White House. He was born and spent most of his formative years on Oahu, in distance the most removed population center on the planet, about 2,390 miles from California, farther from a major landmass than anywhere but Easter Island. In the westward impulse of American settlement, his birthplace was the last frontier, an outpost with its own time zone, the 50th of the United States, admitted to the union only two years before Obama came along. Those who come from islands are inevitably shaped by the experience. For Obama, the experience was all contradiction and contrast. As the son of a white woman and a black man, he grew up as a multiracial kid, a "hapa," "half-and-half" in the local lexicon, in one of the most multiracial places in the world, with no majority group. There were native Hawaiians, Japanese, Filipinos, Samoans, Okinawans, Chinese and Portuguese, along with Anglos, commonly known as haole (pronounced how-lay), and a smaller population of blacks, traditionally centered at the U.S. military installations. But diversity does not automatically translate to social comfort: Hawaii has its own difficult history of racial and cultural stratification, and young Obama struggled to find his place even in that many-hued milieu. He had to leave the island to find himself as a black man, eventually rooting in Chicago, the antipode of remote Honolulu, deep in the fold of the mainland, and there setting out on the path that led toward politics. Yet life circles back in strange ways, and in essence it is the promise of the place he left behind -- the notion if not the reality of Hawaii, what some call the spirit of aloha, the transracial if not post-racial message -- that has made his rise possible. Hawaii and Chicago are the two main threads weaving through the cloth of Barack Obama's life. Each involves more than geography. Hawaii is about the forces that shaped him, and Chicago is about how he reshaped himself. Chicago is about the critical choices he made as an adult: how he learned to survive in the rough-and-tumble of law and politics, how he figured out the secrets of power in a world defined by it, and how he resolved his inner conflicts and refined the subtle, coolly ambitious persona now on view in the presidential election. Hawaii comes first. It is what lies beneath, what makes Chicago possible and understandable. Hawaii involves the struggles of a teenage hapa at Punahou School who wanted nothing more than to be a professional basketball player. It is about his extraordinary mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, deeply loving if frequently absent. While politicians burnish their histories by laying claim to early years of community work and lives of public service, she was the real deal, devoting her career, unsung and underpaid, to helping poor women make their way in the modern world. It is about his mysterious father, Barack Hussein Obama, an imperious if alluring voice gone distant and then missing. It is about his grandparents, Madelyn and Stan Dunham, Toot and Gramps, the white couple with whom he lived for most of his teenage years, she practical and determined, he impulsive, hokey, well-intentioned and, by his grandson's account, burdened with the desperate lost hopes of a Willy Loman-style salesman. It is about their family's incessant migration away from the heartland, from the Great Plains to the West Coast to Hawaii. And that was not far enough for their daughter, who followed the Pacific farther to Indonesia and traveled the world until, at the too-early age of 52, she made her way back to Honolulu, taking an apartment next to her parents' in the high-rise on the corner of Beretania and Punahou, to die there of cancer. It was the same year, 1995, that her son made his debut on the national stage with a book about himself that searched for the missing, the void -- his dad, Kenya, Africa -- and paid less attention to the people and things that had shaped his life, especially his mother. The simple fact is that he would not exist as a human being, let alone as a politician, without his mother's sensibility, naive or adventurous or both. Of all the relationships in Obama's life, none has been deeper, more complex or more important. They lived under the same roof for only perhaps 12 years and were frequently apart during his adolescence, but her lessons and judgments were always with him. In some sense, because they were just 18 years apart, they grew up together, each following a singular path toward maturity. Like many presidential aspirants before him, and perhaps most like Bill Clinton, Obama grew up surrounded by strong women, the male figures either weak or absent. Once, during the heat of the primary race between Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, a claim came from Bill Clinton that he "understood" Obama. As different as their backgrounds and families were, it was no doubt this strong-female, weak-male similarity that he had in mind. | barack.obama.3 |@lemmatized though:1 obama:12 leave:5 find:3 hawaii:9 make:7 rise:5 possible:3 weekday:1 morning:1 teenager:1 barry:1 grandparent:2 apartment:3 floor:1 story:1 high:2 beretania:2 mile:2 half:3 waikiki:1 beach:2 walk:2 punahou:4 street:1 shadow:1 capacious:1 banyan:1 tree:1 date:1 palm:1 cross:1 overpass:1 freeway:1 traffic:1 zoom:1 east:1 body:1 surf:1 west:2 airport:1 pearl:1 harbor:1 pass:1 kapiolani:1 medical:1 center:3 hospital:1 room:1 bear:2 aug:1 two:3 block:2 far:6 along:3 intersection:1 wilder:1 could:1 look:1 left:1 toward:3 small:2 poki:1 spend:2 year:8 little:1 sister:1 maya:1 mother:4 ann:2 back:3 get:1 master:1 degree:1 university:1 indonesia:2 soon:1 enough:2 low:1 edge:1 school:2 gracefully:1 sloping:1 private:1 campus:1 study:1 play:1 basketball:2 adolescent:1 life:6 tell:1 five:1 honolulu:3 confine:1 compact:1 away:2 apart:3 unprecedented:1 aspect:1 geographical:1 truth:1 politician:3 american:2 history:3 travel:2 barack:3 within:1 reach:1 white:3 house:1 formative:1 oahu:1 distance:1 removed:1 population:2 planet:1 california:1 major:1 landmass:1 anywhere:1 easter:1 island:3 westward:1 impulse:1 settlement:1 birthplace:1 last:1 frontier:1 outpost:1 time:1 zone:1 united:1 state:1 admit:1 union:1 come:4 inevitably:1 shape:3 experience:2 contradiction:1 contrast:1 son:2 woman:3 black:3 man:2 grow:3 multiracial:2 kid:1 hapa:2 local:1 lexicon:1 one:1 place:3 world:4 majority:1 group:1 native:1 hawaiian:1 japanese:1 filipinos:1 samoan:1 okinawans:1 chinese:1 portuguese:1 anglos:1 commonly:1 know:1 haole:1 pronounced:1 lay:2 traditionally:1 u:1 military:1 installation:1 diversity:1 automatically:1 translate:1 social:1 comfort:1 difficult:1 racial:2 cultural:1 stratification:1 young:1 struggle:2 even:1 many:2 hue:1 milieu:1 eventually:1 root:1 chicago:5 antipode:1 remote:1 deep:2 fold:1 mainland:1 set:1 path:2 lead:1 politics:2 yet:1 circle:1 strange:1 way:3 essence:1 promise:1 behind:1 notion:1 reality:1 call:1 spirit:1 aloha:1 transracial:1 post:1 message:1 main:1 thread:1 weave:1 cloth:1 involve:2 geography:1 force:1 reshape:1 critical:1 choice:1 adult:1 learn:1 survive:1 rough:1 tumble:1 law:1 figure:2 secret:1 power:1 define:1 resolve:1 inner:1 conflict:1 refine:1 subtle:1 coolly:1 ambitious:1 persona:1 view:1 presidential:2 election:1 first:1 lie:1 beneath:1 understandable:1 teenage:2 want:1 nothing:1 professional:1 player:1 extraordinary:1 stanley:1 dunham:2 deeply:1 love:1 frequently:2 absent:2 burnish:1 claim:2 early:2 community:1 work:1 public:1 service:1 real:1 deal:1 devote:1 career:1 unsung:1 underpaid:1 help:1 poor:1 modern:1 mysterious:1 father:1 hussein:1 imperious:1 alluring:1 voice:1 go:1 distant:1 miss:1 madelyn:1 stan:1 toot:1 gramps:1 couple:1 live:2 practical:1 determine:1 impulsive:1 hokey:1 well:1 intentioned:1 grandson:1 account:1 burden:1 desperate:1 lose:1 hope:1 willy:1 loman:1 style:1 salesman:1 family:2 incessant:1 migration:1 heartland:1 great:1 plain:1 coast:1 daughter:1 follow:2 pacific:1 farther:1 age:1 take:1 next:1 parent:1 corner:1 die:1 cancer:1 debut:1 national:1 stage:1 book:1 search:1 missing:1 void:1 dad:1 kenya:1 africa:1 pay:1 less:1 attention:1 people:1 thing:1 especially:1 simple:1 fact:1 would:1 exist:1 human:1 let:1 alone:1 without:1 sensibility:1 naive:1 adventurous:1 relationship:1 none:1 complex:1 important:1 roof:1 perhaps:2 adolescence:1 lesson:1 judgment:1 always:1 sense:1 together:1 singular:1 maturity:1 like:2 aspirant:1 bill:2 clinton:3 surround:1 strong:2 male:2 either:1 weak:2 heat:1 primary:1 race:1 hillary:1 rodham:1 understood:1 different:1 background:1 doubt:1 female:1 similarity:1 mind:1 |@ngramms obama_leave:2 high_rise:2 medical_center:1 american_history:1 barack_obama:2 white_house:1 united_state:1 white_woman:1 black_man:2 struggle_find:1 root_chicago:1 choice_make:1 public_service:1 real_deal:1 west_coast:1 make_debut:1 national_stage:1 relationship_obama:1 bill_clinton:2 obama_grow:1 strong_woman:1 obama_hillary:1 clinton_claim:1 doubt_strong:1 |
samsung.galaxy.s5.38 | Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (AT&T) By Eugene Kim Last year's Galaxy S4$199.88 at Amazon and S4 Active seemed like a natural pairing, but with water-resistance now a standard feature on the Galaxy S5Free at Amazon, you might be wondering why Samsung even bothered with an Active variant this year. The big difference, really, is as much form as function: The S5 Active carries a heartier MIL-spec 810G rating, meaning it can take on more physical abuse. But it also just looks and feels like a nicer device to me, even though it's the same price as the standard GS5. This, of course, is a matter of personal preference, but the two are so close in size that taste really should be the deciding factor. Both GS5s are excellent smartphones—choose the one that fits your needs. Design and Activity Zone Nearly every feature from the standard GS5 makes its way to the Active. The display, processor, cameras, wireless radios, and software are all identical between the two, so head over to the original review for an in-depth look at those features. We'll focus on the design changes and additional or missing features here. The S5 Active takes on a more rugged look than last year's device with more pronounced, reinforced corners. Smaller details like etched-in grips and faux-rivets, combined with the camouflage green finish of our review unit, give the S5 Active a decidedly tactical feel. At 5.72 by 2.89 by 0.35 inches (HWD), the Active is shorter than the regular S5 and a hair wider and thicker, but it's also far more compact than the regular S5 with a rugged case slapped on top. It's also nearly a full ounce heavier at 6 ounces, but the added density inspires more confidence in its durability over the long run. The gaudy faux-chrome accents and dimpled back cover are gone, neither of which I particularly liked on the regular S5. I much prefer the matte plastics and tactile accents on the Active. AT&T offers the active in the aforementioned camo green and in more neutral gray or red colorways. View all 6 photos in gallery With IP67 waterproofing and a MIL-spec 810G rating, the S5 Active should be as durable as it looks. The military specification means the S5 Active has been tested against dust, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity, and high-altitude. The most meaningful durability claim is its shock resistance—Samsung claims that the S5 Active can hold up to drops from up to 4 feet onto a flat surface. I subjected the S5 Active to a round of drops and throws inside our labs, ranging from 3 to 5 feet, onto a relatively hard surface. The back cover popped open a bit after some serious abuse, but the phone never looked worse for wear and functioned perfectly afterwards. The micro USB port still has that pesky flap, but I found it easier to open thanks to the notch facing forward instead of to the side. The back still peels off to reveal the SIM and microSD card slots as well as the removable 2,800mAh battery, which is the same size as the one in the standard GS5. Battery life approached 20 hours of continuous talk time in our tests, and the Ultra Power Saving Mode is still here, offering up to 4 hours of intermittent use out of the last 2 percent of battery. I'm partial to on-screen navigation buttons, but the physical Recent Apps, Home, and Back buttons on the S5 Active have their appeal. They feel well-seated and have a satisfyingly clicky feedback, and I was never a fan of Samsung's combination of capacitive and physical buttons on the standard GS5 to begin with. The Power button is on the right edge, while the Volume buttons are joined by a new "Active key" on the left edge. inline By default, the Active key launches Samsung's Activity Zone, a new app that puts barometric measurements and GPS coordinates front and center, with easy access to flashlight and stopwatch apps—you know, things active people might be interested in. Luckily, Samsung allows you to re-program the key to launch any two apps installed on your device, using either a short or long press. I love this feature; it's like the Kickstarter-backed Pressy button, except it's real, and it works without occupying your headphone jack. It's especially useful for underwater photography, since the touch screen doesn't work when wet. The heart-rate monitor is still here, but the fingerprint scanner didn't make the cut. That's fine as far as I'm concerned, since the swiping motion was always a bit awkward and inconvenient whenever I used it on the regular GS5. The earpiece and back-ported speaker are, as far as I can tell, identical between the GS5 and Active, and call quality is indistinguishable between the two. There's a more robust lip around the camera lens, but image quality is also identical. Our 16GB model came with 10.91GB available to users out of the box. There's still a good deal of bloatware here courtesy of AT&T and Samsung. These include redundant services like AT&T Locker and Navigator, as well as Samsung media and app portals. Yellow Pages, Beats Music, and Lookout Security are also preinstalled, and none of these are removable. There's no more bloatware here than on the normal GS5, at least. Conclusions The Galaxy S5 Active makes no real compromises to earn its more adventurous designation. I don't care for fingerprint scanners, and I think the Active key will be genuinely more useful for the majority of people. Otherwise, it offers the exact same experience as the standard GS5. I personally prefer the S5 Active's design, and the added weight makes it feel like a more premium device in my hands. Either would make a fine choice, but if you're a klutz or adrenaline junkie, the Active should jump to the top of your list. It shares our Editors' Choice award with its otherwise identical, non-Active sibling on AT&T. | samsung.galaxy.s5.38 |@lemmatized samsung:8 galaxy:4 active:24 eugene:1 kim:1 last:3 year:3 amazon:2 seem:1 like:7 natural:1 pairing:1 water:1 resistance:2 standard:6 feature:5 might:2 wonder:1 even:2 bother:1 variant:1 big:1 difference:1 really:2 much:2 form:1 function:2 carry:1 heartier:1 mil:2 spec:2 rating:2 mean:2 take:2 physical:3 abuse:2 also:5 look:5 feel:4 nice:1 device:4 though:1 price:1 course:1 matter:1 personal:1 preference:1 two:4 close:1 size:2 taste:1 deciding:1 factor:1 excellent:1 smartphones:1 choose:1 one:2 fit:1 need:1 design:3 activity:2 zone:2 nearly:2 every:1 make:5 way:1 display:1 processor:1 camera:2 wireless:1 radio:1 software:1 identical:4 head:1 original:1 review:2 depth:1 focus:1 change:1 additional:1 miss:1 rugged:2 pronounced:1 reinforced:1 corner:1 small:1 detail:1 etch:1 grip:1 faux:2 rivet:1 combine:1 camouflage:1 green:2 finish:1 unit:1 give:1 decidedly:1 tactical:1 inch:1 hwd:1 short:2 regular:4 hair:1 wider:1 thicker:1 far:3 compact:1 case:1 slap:1 top:2 full:1 ounce:2 heavier:1 added:2 density:1 inspire:1 confidence:1 durability:2 long:2 run:1 gaudy:1 chrome:1 accent:2 dimple:1 back:6 cover:2 go:1 neither:1 particularly:1 prefer:2 matte:1 plastic:1 tactile:1 offer:3 aforementioned:1 camo:1 neutral:1 gray:1 red:1 colorways:1 view:1 photo:1 gallery:1 waterproofing:1 durable:1 military:1 specification:1 test:2 dust:1 shock:2 vibration:1 extreme:1 temperature:1 humidity:1 high:1 altitude:1 meaningful:1 claim:2 hold:1 drop:2 foot:2 onto:2 flat:1 surface:2 subject:1 round:1 throw:1 inside:1 lab:1 range:1 relatively:1 hard:1 pop:1 open:2 bit:2 serious:1 phone:1 never:2 bad:1 wear:1 perfectly:1 afterwards:1 micro:1 usb:1 port:2 still:5 pesky:1 flap:1 find:1 easy:2 thanks:1 notch:1 face:1 forward:1 instead:1 side:1 peel:1 reveal:1 sim:1 microsd:1 card:1 slot:1 well:3 removable:2 battery:3 life:1 approach:1 hour:2 continuous:1 talk:1 time:1 ultra:1 power:2 save:1 mode:1 intermittent:1 use:3 percent:1 partial:1 screen:2 navigation:1 button:6 recent:1 apps:3 home:1 appeal:1 seat:1 satisfyingly:1 clicky:1 feedback:1 fan:1 combination:1 capacitive:1 begin:1 right:1 edge:2 volume:1 join:1 new:2 key:4 left:1 inline:1 default:1 launch:2 app:2 put:1 barometric:1 measurement:1 gps:1 coordinate:1 front:1 center:1 access:1 flashlight:1 stopwatch:1 know:1 thing:1 people:2 interested:1 luckily:1 allow:1 program:1 instal:1 either:2 press:1 love:1 kickstarter:1 pressy:1 except:1 real:2 work:2 without:1 occupy:1 headphone:1 jack:1 especially:1 useful:2 underwater:1 photography:1 since:2 touch:1 wet:1 heart:1 rate:1 monitor:1 fingerprint:2 scanner:2 cut:1 fine:2 concern:1 swipe:1 motion:1 always:1 awkward:1 inconvenient:1 whenever:1 earpiece:1 speaker:1 tell:1 call:1 quality:2 indistinguishable:1 robust:1 lip:1 around:1 lens:1 image:1 model:1 come:1 available:1 user:1 box:1 good:1 deal:1 bloatware:2 courtesy:1 include:1 redundant:1 service:1 locker:1 navigator:1 medium:1 portal:1 yellow:1 page:1 beat:1 music:1 lookout:1 security:1 preinstalled:1 none:1 normal:1 least:1 conclusion:1 compromise:1 earn:1 adventurous:1 designation:1 care:1 think:1 genuinely:1 majority:1 otherwise:2 exact:1 experience:1 personally:1 weight:1 premium:1 hand:1 would:1 choice:2 klutz:1 adrenaline:1 junkie:1 jump:1 list:1 share:1 editor:1 award:1 non:1 sibling:1 |@ngramms samsung_galaxy:1 feature_galaxy:1 matter_personal:1 activity_zone:2 miss_feature:1 review_unit:1 long_run:1 photo_gallery:1 samsung_claim:1 usb_port:1 find_easy:1 microsd_card:1 removable_battery:1 battery_life:1 time_test:1 ultra_power:1 save_mode:1 percent_battery:1 recent_apps:1 physical_button:1 power_button:1 active_key:3 left_edge:1 launch_samsung:1 easy_access:1 key_launch:1 real_work:1 heart_rate_monitor:1 fingerprint_scanner:2 call_quality:1 camera_lens:1 image_quality:1 good_deal:1 samsung_include:1 galaxy_active:1 make_real:1 majority_people:1 device_hand:1 |
malaysia.airlines.flight.86 | Flight 370 search area shifts after 'credible lead' Aircraft search new area for missing plane 04:26 Search teams shifted to a different part of the Indian Ocean Friday in their hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane after "a new credible lead," authorities said. An analysis of radar data led investigators to move the search to an area 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) to the northeast, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said, calling the new information "the most credible lead to where debris may be located." "It indicated that the aircraft was traveling faster than previously estimated, resulting in increased fuel usage and reducing the possible distance the aircraft traveled south into the Indian Ocean," the authority said in a statement. Four search aircraft are now over the new area, with six more due to fly there over the course of Friday, said John Young, the authority's general manager of emergency response. The renewed search for Flight 370 in the southern Indian Ocean comes a day after Japan and Thailand both said they'd sent new satellite images to Malaysia showing separate debris fields that could be related to the plane, which vanished March 8 with 239 people aboard. Relatives of passengers from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 console each other outside the Malaysia Airlines office in Subang, Malaysia, on Thursday, February 12. Protesters demanded that the airline withdraw the statement made in January that all the passengers aboard the plane are dead. The plane, which disappeared on March 8, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/07/asia/gallery/malaysia-airliner/index.html" target="_blank">has not been found.</a> The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 48 photos Satellite images show possible debris Satellite images show possible debris 01:31 See satellite images of objects in ocean See satellite images of objects in ocean 02:15 Analysts said the search area shift could be a sign that investigators are closing in on the missing plane's whereabouts. "With this development, perhaps they're able to hone in on the more accurate altitude," said Mary Schiavo, a CNN aviation analyst and former inspector general for the U.S. Department of Transportation. That, experts said, could bring investigators closer to determining what happened aboard the plane, what caused it to veer off course and where it ended up. Satellite images raise hope In addition to the Japanese and Thai satellite images, Malaysian officials announced Wednesday that a French satellite had found 122 pieces of something floating nearby. It's enough to make you wonder: Have they found that proverbial haystack inside which they'll find the well-hidden wreckage? Maybe. Maybe not. Search teams will have at least one more plane in their fleet starting Friday, when a second U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon will fly from Okinawa, Japan, to Perth, Australia, to join the hunt for the missing aircraft. "From the pilot and the aircrew perspective, they are optimistic," said Cmdr. William Marks of the U.S. 7th Fleet. "I know every day, when they launch a flight, they have a good feeling about finding something. But the satellite imagery hasn't been conclusive." There's one thing that Marks said would be a defining moment in the search: visual confirmation from the search crews at sea. While analysts say it's intriguing that the finds all appear to be in the same general area, searchers have yet to lay eyes on any of the objects, much less haul one aboard a ship and examine it. Satellite images that have been followed up on have not produced any sightings for search teams, said Young of the Australian maritime authority. "That may change in the future," he added. 'Eventually something will come to light' 'Eventually something will come to light' 03:22 How Inmarsat found MH370's path How Inmarsat found MH370's path 05:58 Wife grieves for husband missing on MH370 Wife grieves for husband missing on MH370 01:52 The Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation is directing satellites to capture images of the new area, authorities said. Stephen Wood, a former CIA analyst and satellite imagery expert, said the satellites could be seeing something as simple as whitecaps, which he said can look deceptively like solid objects. CNN aviation analyst Jeff Wise said that while the latest find is "very enticing," the number and size of the objects make him question whether they could be from the plane. "If you see something floating that's 60 feet across, that could be a big chunk of fuselage," he said. "But if you have 10 pieces that are 60 feet across, that would indicate that they're not from the plane, because the plane has only so much stuff in it." But Miles O'Brien, another CNN aviation analyst, said what he sees on the latest satellite images doesn't look like everyday garbage to him. "What I see there is something that seems to be somewhat metallic and shiny. Looks like airplane wreckage to me. I also see some surfaces that look like they're aerodynamic." Geoffrey Thomas, an aviation expert and editor-in-chief of AirlineRatings.com, said he doesn't have any doubts about the satellite images. "The debris pictures we're getting now, they absolutely have to be wreckage from this airplane," he told CNN's "Piers Morgan Live." "They're too big, there's too many of them. And certainly, we get debris in the ocean, unfortunately, but not of this scale, not of this size." Authorities, he said, must know more than they're letting on. "I think they know exactly that this is the airplane," he said. "And hopefully, in a few days, we're going to get someone picking a piece up out of the water and saying, 'This is it.'" Loved ones holding out hope With no physical evidence pointing to what happened to the plane, loved ones of the passengers onboard have said they're still holding out hope. Sarah Bajc, the partner of American passenger Philip Wood, said she's not convinced by the authorities' argument that an analysis of satellite data shows that there were no survivors. Source: Flight 370 turned, dropped Source: Flight 370 turned, dropped 02:22 Flight 370 relative: This is a cover-up Flight 370 relative: This is a cover-up 01:01 Families told all lives are lost Families told all lives are lost 02:51 The plane, she told CNN's "Erin Burnett Out Front," could have landed somewhere. "I do believe it's still a possibility, because there's no contradictory evidence to that being a possibility. Even the satellite data that's been pushed forward to show or to demonstrate that the flight took the southerly route, they're really just still guessing," she said. "I mean, this is not something that anybody has ever done before. So, you know, as brilliant as those mathematicians are, they don't really know. They're only analyzing the data that they have. They don't really know for certain." The confusion has left many family members of missing passengers and crew increasingly frustrated. Some have accused Malaysian authorities of failing to keep them properly informed. Others have accused officials of lying or covering up facts. Bajc said she first learned that authorities believed there were no survivors from a text message Malaysia Airlines sent to passengers' families. "The wording of the message led me to believe that they were going to be giving evidence that it was found, right? That there were bodies ... and then all he did is say they've extrapolated the data and they're sure that it went into the water. I mean, I think that was extremely irresponsible." 'Unspeakable challenge' for families Mystery surfaces pain of 1977 tragedy Concerns about weather, currents Malaysian officials have defended their handling of the situation, arguing that they've released information as soon as possible to families and the public. In recent days, authorities' announcements have focused on the satellite images. Now the search is on for the physical evidence to back them up. The Thai images show about 300 objects ranging in size from 6 feet (2 meters) to 50 feet (15 meters). When photographed Monday, they were about 125 miles (201 kilometers) away from the spot where a French satellite captured a floating group of objects Sunday. The Japanese images were taken Wednesday and show about 10 objects floating in a six-mile (10 kilometer) radius some 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) off the west coast of Australia, according to the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office. The biggest object was square and measured some 13 feet by 26 feet (4 meters to 8 meters), the agency said. The finds come after news Wednesday that a French satellite had seen 122 objects in the same region and follows earlier sightings by U.S., Chinese and another French satellite. Planes are set to try to find the materials and figure out what they are on Friday after rough weather in the remote spot once again delayed search efforts Thursday. By then, experts say, these objects could have drifted hundreds of miles in the complex currents of the Indian Ocean. 'I understand him' Meanwhile, the youngest son of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah has broken his family's silence on the plane's disappearance, rejecting speculation that the longtime aviator was somehow responsible. "I've read everything online. But I've ignored all the speculation. I know my father better," Ahmad Seth Zaharie, 26, said in an interview published Thursday by the New Straits Times, an English-language Malaysian newspaper. The idea that Zaharie or co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid were responsible for the plane's baffling disappearance is one of many theories investigators continue to pursue. One line of speculation suggests Zaharie might have hijacked the plane as a political act. He has been identified as a supporter of a high-profile Malaysian opposition figure. His son rejected such theories. "We may not be as close, as he travels so much. But I understand him," he said of his father in the interview, which was conducted Tuesday. Comments from government officials on the investigation so far support the son's view. A senior Malaysian government official Wednesday told CNN law enforcement analyst Tom Fuentes that authorities have found nothing in 19 days of investigating the two pilots that leads them to any motive, be it political, suicidal or extremist. And an ongoing FBI review of the two pilots' hard drives, including one in a flight simulator Zaharie had built at his home, has not turned up a "smoking gun," a U.S. official with knowledge of the investigation told CNN. "They have accessed the data," the official said. "There is nothing that's jumping out and grabbing us right now." And investigators haven't found anything suspicious with any of the other crew members or passengers, leaving them struggling to find an explanation. "I don't think there is a prevailing theory," one U.S. official told CNN. "There are counterarguments to every theory right now." | malaysia.airlines.flight.86 |@lemmatized flight:12 search:14 area:7 shift:3 credible:3 lead:6 aircraft:5 new:7 miss:8 plane:17 team:3

ParisAttacks2015_(29) | Paris attacks were carried out by three groups tied to Islamic State, official says PARIS — French police took seven people in for questioning Sunday in connection with the deadly siege that killed at least 129 people on Friday night, expanding an international dragnet and investigation that is now spanning from the Aegean Sea to the teeming Paris suburbs. The seven people taken into custody were relatives of Omar Ismail Mostefai, a 29-year old French national with a criminal record and one of seven assailants who died during Friday night's deadly siege, according to a French police official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. A petty criminal of Algerian descent, Mostefai was picked up for eight minor offenses including driving without a license between 2004 and 2010. In 2010, however, Mostefai came on the radar screen of French intelligence because of his associations with radical Islamists at a mosque near Chartres, a city 56 miles west of Paris. 'The aim is to figure out what led this man to become a suicide bomber," the French police official said. Mostefai's brother, a 34 year-old unnamed man who surrendered for questioning in a southeastern suburb of Paris, confirmed to the AFP news service that his younger sibling had committed small crimes in the past. He said he had broken off all ties with him years ago. Mostefai, he added, had moved back to Algeria with his young daughter. He said he was shocked to learn that his brother was involved in the attacks. Police also raided the homes of Mostafai's father and of the brother, which were searched during three hours Saturday night by French SWAT teams in Romilly-sur-Seine, a town 79 miles East of Paris, and in Bandoufle, a small suburb in the South of Paris, according to RTL radio. "What does this have to do with us?" the brother's wife told AFP in tears. "We haven't spoken to him in years. I hope we'll be left alone. We have a quiet little life, and this is starting to worry me." The official said another one of the assailants had a Syrian passport, a document that Greek officials have said he used to enter Europe in October on the Aegean island of Leros along with a record flood of refugees fleeing the war-torn Middle East. Investigators were still looking into whether a second assailant may have also entered Europe on the refugee route. It immediately raised the prospect that militants may be using the same porous routes into Europe as migrants. French police additionally seized one of the vehicles believed to have been used in the Friday night attacks, a black Seat Leon with handguns inside, in the eastern suburb of Montreuil. Officials sealed off the area with red and white tape as white-clad forensic experts combed the vehicle. At least two of the seven dead attackers are believed to be Belgians including an 18-year-old who had fought in Syria, according to a senior Belgian official. On Saturday, President François Hollande called the attacks an "act of war" by the Islamic State, which issued an extraordinarily detailed claim of responsibility almost immediately after his address to the nation. Left behind after the attacks were the latest scars, Pope Francis said Saturday, from the "piecemeal Third World War." One survivor described gunmen coldly picking off hostages in a packed concert hall as if "we were birds." [In Paris, a soccer game, an Asian dinner, a concert — and then terror] The attacks — far more sophisticated and more deadly in magnitude than a siege here in January carried out by three Islamist militants — robbed France's showcase city of its rhythm of life and put Europe on alert to a new level of terrorism. In the aftermath of the most deadly assault on French soil since World War II, the Eiffel Tower was shut down "indefinitely." The Louvre closed its doors. And the country, which cherishes secular freedoms, outlawed public gatherings until at least Thursday. France declared a state of emergency — granting police broader powers — for the first time since 2005 riots on the outskirts of Paris. Paris landmarks became ghost towns. The government deployed 1,500 troops to safeguard key buildings. Schools, libraries, food markets, swimming pools and gymnasiums were closed. About 99 of at least 352 who were wounded — most of them injured during a hail of bullets that hit the front rows of a concert at the Bataclan, where 1,500 fans were listening to the Eagles of Death Metal — remained in serious condition, suggesting that the death toll could increase. The extent of the violence signaled that the Islamic State is extending its reach far beyond the battlefields of the Middle East, prompting much of the rest of Europe to bolster security on Saturday, ramping up border checks and patrols at key buildings and transit points. But intelligence officials in Germany and Spain said they were focusing mainly on improving security at French schools and embassies, suggesting how France — a nation more involved in fighting Islamist extremism abroad than any of its neighbors — has emerged as the epicenter of the region's terrorism threat. [Coordinated assault seems to mark new chapter in terrorism] "We are facing an act of war organized by an army of terrorist jihadists that had already organized and planned attacks in the past," French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Saturday evening. "Five attacks have been thwarted since this summer. But we have always said that there is no such thing as zero risk. We have always said that France could face new terrorist attacks." Suspects arrested On Saturday, candles and flowers filled an outdoor terrace at La Belle Equipe restaurant, where gunman shot into the crowd. Notes in the flowers included one that read, in French, "To our friend Guillaume full of joy and kindness, may God keep you close to him." Another read: "Thoughts for our little Tess and to the children of Lacri. Their parents are in the stars." The victims at six attack sites — the Bataclan concert venue, a soccer stadium, and bawdy bars and restaurants in east Paris — included Nohemi Gonzalez, 23, a California State University design student spending her junior year abroad. And Bertrand Navarret, 37, a rock music fan from southern France who was among the first to die as the gunmen fired into the crowd at the concert. And two Tunisian sisters celebrating a friend's birthday on a night out. Many Parisians — as they did after the attacks in January — vowed to hold firm. But some also questioned the wisdom of France's involvement in the Middle East. I'm indignant about the foreign policy of France," Yannis Hassany, 25, a Parisian student of Syrian and Lebanese descent, said Saturday. He was standing near the bloodstained streets of two of the attack sites, Le Carillon bar and Le Petit Cambodge restaurant. "What we've done the last four years is responsible for what happened here. France is implicated. France never should have gotten involved in Syria." As of late Saturday, at least 10 suspects were arrested in Belgium. During the attacks Friday, six suspects blew themselves up and a seventh was killed by police. The Islamic State, however, claimed that eight men were directly involved in the attacks. Playing dead The siege began at 9:20 p.m. local time Friday and lasted until police stormed the concert hall at 12:20 a.m. The three teams of suicide bombers had spread out across Paris, with two of the groups racing through the city's streets in a small black SEAT León hatchback and a black Volkswagen Polo. They deployed "war-type weapons": Kalashnikov rifles and explosive belts with identical triggers, said François Molins, a prosecutor in Paris. The style of weapons indicates that the assailants "wanted to claim as many victims as possible," he said. Louis H., a 26-year-old employee at the Bataclan who asked that only his first name and initial be used, said he was attending the concert with his mother. He said the two of them pretended to be dead, lying on the floor for 10 minutes as they heard shots and yelling. Officials said at least one suspect was a 29-year-old who was eight days shy of his birthday and whom two French media outlets identified as Ismaël Omar Mostefaï. He was the father of a 5-year-old girl and was repeatedly arrested in connection with petty crimes between 2010 and 2015. Le Monde newspaper reported Saturday that Mostefaï was suspected of having traveled to Syria for a few months in the winter of 2013 and 2014. Officials, however, declined to release the names of any suspects. At one of the attack sites — the stadium where Hollande was attending a soccer match between France and Germany — officials discovered the passport of a man born in Idlib, Syria, who had entered Europe via Greece as a refugee. Officials have not conclusively connected the document to one of the two men who blew themselves up at the stadium. But the possible link was enough to ignite fresh calls by some in Europe to end the unprecedented flow of refugees pouring into Europe from war zones in the Middle East. "The attacks mean the necessity of an even deeper revision of the European policy toward the migrant crisis," Konrad Szymanski, Poland's new European affairs minister, told a local radio station. French officials recovered fingerprints from at least four of the men, with French, German and other European law enforcement agencies seeking possible matches. As if in response to the tough declarations from Hollande on Saturday, the Islamic State moments later asserted responsibility for the attacks. The claim — issued on its internal social media site — said the terrorist group had "precisely chosen targets in the center of the capital of France" and specifically mentioned Hollande's appearance at the soccer match. "Let France and all nations following its path know that they will continue to be at the top of the target list of the Islamic State," it said. | ParisAttacks2015_(29) |@lemmatized paris:13 attack:17

premier.league.143 | Blues wrap up Torres deal Chelsea have completed their transfer deadline day swoop for Fernando Torres from Liverpool. Chelsea have completed their transfer deadline-day swoop for Fernando Torres from Liverpool on a five-and-a-half-year contract. The deal went right down to the wire ahead of the transfer window closing, with Torres only travelling down to London late on Monday evening to undergo a last-minute medical. But the Blues managed to push through the late deal before the window slammed shut, with the Spaniard penning a contract thought to be worth around £50million - a British transfer record. Premier League champions Chelsea first made a move for the Spaniard on Thursday with an unsuccessful £35m offer for his services. And Carlo Ancelotti's side persisted in their chase for the striker, despite the Reds insisting he was not on the market. Liverpool changed their stance over 26-year-old Torres after moving for Newcastle striking ace Andy Carroll and Ajax star Luis Suarez in two last-minute swoops of their own on Monday. Swoop A statement on Torres' official website said: "Spain international Fernando Torres will defend the Blue shirt of Chelsea after joining the London club on the January transfer deadline. "The striker has signed for the reigning Premier League and FA Cup champions for five and a half seasons. "After Liverpool and Chelsea had reached an agreement, the player travelled down to London where he successfully passed his medical before agreeing personal terms. "Fernando Torres then put pen to paper on a deal that will see the forward remain at Chelsea until June 2016." Torres says he is delighted to complete the move to Stamford Bridge. "I am very happy with my transfer to Chelsea and I am looking forward very much to helping my new team-mates this season and for many years to come," he said. "Having played against Chelsea many times since coming to England, and in some very big games I will never forget, I know there are many great players here and I will work hard to win a place in the team. "I hope I can score some important goals for the supporters to enjoy this season." Significant Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck added: "This is a very significant day for Chelsea, capturing one of the best players in the world with his peak years ahead of him. "We have long admired the talents of a player who is a proven goalscorer in English football and Fernando's arrival is a sign of our continuing high ambitious. I hope every Chelsea fan is as excited as I am with this news." Torres established himself as a key player at Anfield during his time on Merseyside, but has struggled to find his top form this season. The Spaniard, who spent almost four years at Liverpool after arriving from Atletico Madrid in 2007, could take on his former club as early as this weekend when the Reds travel to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. | premier.league.143 |@lemmatized blue:3 wrap:1 torres:10 deal:4 chelsea:11 complete:3 transfer:6 deadline:3 day:3 swoop:4 fernando:5 liverpool:5 five:2 half:2 year:5 contract:2 go:1 right:1 wire:1 ahead:2 window:2 closing:1 travel:3 london:3 late:2 monday:2 evening:1 undergo:1 last:2 minute:2 medical:2 manage:1 push:1 slam:1 shut:1 spaniard:3 pen:2 think:1 worth:1 around:1 british:1 record:1 premier:3 league:3 champion:2 first:1 make:1 move:3 thursday:1 unsuccessful:1 offer:1 service:1 carlo:1 ancelotti:1 side:1 persist:1 chase:1 striker:2 despite:1 red:2 insist:1 market:1 change:1 stance:1 old:1 newcastle:1 striking:1 ace:1 andy:1 carroll:1 ajax:1 star:1 luis:1 suarez:1 two:1 statement:1 official:1 website:1 say:3 spain:1 international:1 defend:1 shirt:1 join:1 club:2 january:1 sign:2 reign:1 fa:1 cup:1 season:4 reach:1 agreement:1 player:5 successfully:1 pass:1 agree:1 personal:1 term:1 put:1 paper:1 see:1 forward:2 remain:1 june:1 delight:1 stamford:2 bridge:2 happy:1 look:1 much:1 help:1 new:1 team:2 mat:1 many:3 come:2 play:1 time:2 since:1 england:1 big:1 game:1 never:1 forget:1 know:1 great:1 work:1 hard:1 win:1 place:1 hope:2 score:1 important:1 goal:1 supporter:1 enjoy:1 significant:2 chairman:1 bruce:1 buck:1 add:1 capture:1 one:1 best:1 world:1 peak:1 long:1 admire:1 talent:1 proven:1 goalscorer:1 english:1 football:1 arrival:1 continue:1 high:1 ambitious:1 every:1 fan:1 excited:1 news:1 establish:1 key:1 anfield:1 merseyside:1 struggle:1 find:1 top:1 form:1 spend:1 almost:1 four:1 arrive:1 atletico:1 madrid:1 could:1 take:1 former:1 early:1 weekend:1 |@ngramms chelsea_complete:2 travel_london:2 monday_evening:1 late_deal:1 transfer_record:1 premier_league:3 champion_chelsea:1 offer_service:1 move_newcastle:1 fa_cup:1 liverpool_chelsea:1 pass_medical:1 agree_personal:1 complete_move:1 play_chelsea:1 work_hard:1 english_football:1 struggle_find:1 |
michelle.obama.102 | Bring Back Our Girls: Michelle Obama and Malala Yousafzai support campaign for return of kidnapped Nigeria schoolgirls Michelle Obama and Malala Yousafzai have become the latest high-profile figures to join worldwide calls for the return of almost 300 schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria. The leader of Boko Haram, an Islamic militant group trying to overthrow the government, threatened to "sell" the girls at a market. The latest horror inflicted by the rebels, who target educational institutions as part of their campaign against anything perceived to be "Western", triggered a viral social media campaign across the world. Mrs Obama tweeted: "Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to #BringBackOurGirls." The tweet included a picture of her in the White House holding a placard displaying the hashtag. Malala, who became a leading global advocate for girls' education after surviving an assassination attempt by the Taliban, is pictured holding a #BringBackOurGirls sign in the Twitter profile picture of her organisation. Angelina Jolie, Hilary Clinton, and Amy Poehler are among those lending their support to the campaign. More than 200 children were taken from school in the town of Chibok last month and eight more from another village on Monday. None of the girls have been found and the Nigerian government's perceived failure to rescue them has sparked angry protests. The US, Britain, France and China have sent experts to help the search. Boko Haram's uprising has claimed the lives of thousands of Muslims and Christians, including more than 1,500 people killed in attacks so far this year. The group, whose name roughly translates as "Western education is forbidden", has targeted schools as well as churches, mosques, government buildings and security forces. Their bloody campaign has highlighted the stark divide between Nigeria's wealthier and predominantly Christian south and Muslim north. | michelle.obama.102 |@lemmatized bring:1 back:1 girl:5 michelle:2 obama:3 malala:3 yousafzai:2 support:2 campaign:5 return:2 kidnap:2 nigeria:3 schoolgirls:1 become:2 late:2 high:1 profile:2 figure:1 join:1 worldwide:1 call:1 almost:1 schoolgirl:1 leader:1 boko:2 haram:2 islamic:1 militant:1 group:2 try:1 overthrow:1 government:3 threaten:1 sell:1 market:1 horror:1 inflict:1 rebel:1 target:2 educational:1 institution:1 part:1 anything:1 perceive:2 western:2 trigger:1 viral:1 social:1 medium:1 across:1 world:1 mrs:1 tweet:2 prayer:1 miss:1 nigerian:2 family:1 time:1 bringbackourgirls:2 include:2 picture:3 white:1 house:1 hold:2 placard:1 display:1 hashtag:1 lead:1 global:1 advocate:1 education:2 survive:1 assassination:1 attempt:1 taliban:1 sign:1 twitter:1 organisation:1 angelina:1 jolie:1 hilary:1 clinton:1 amy:1 poehler:1 among:1 lend:1 child:1 take:1 school:2 town:1 chibok:1 last:1 month:1 eight:1 another:1 village:1 monday:1 none:1 find:1 failure:1 rescue:1 spark:1 angry:1 protest:1 u:1 britain:1 france:1 china:1 send:1 expert:1 help:1 search:1 uprising:1 claim:1 life:1 thousand:1 muslim:2 christian:2 people:1 kill:1 attack:1 far:1 year:1 whose:1 name:1 roughly:1 translate:1 forbidden:1 well:1 church:1 mosque:1 building:1 security:1 force:1 bloody:1 highlight:1 stark:1 divide:1 wealthier:1 predominantly:1 south:1 north:1 |@ngramms michelle_obama:2 support_campaign:2 high_profile:1 militant_group:1 market_late:1 social_medium:1 white_house:1 picture_hold:1 china_send:1 claim_life:1 people_kill:1 security_force:1 |
