 "They're among us." He said, shaking in fear. "They're here and nobody is listening to me!" His anxious eyes examined the room. A nurse looked at him and murmured to another doctor. "I'm not crazy. You have to believe me!” he exclaimed. Nico was trying to get up from the hospital bed but he had been tied down since he got there. The doctors decided he should be moved to the mental health diagnostics area.

 "Nobody knows more than I do of the sweet, young, handsome fellow who always had a deep passion for learning new things. He was studying Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for a few years over at the University of Florida. He was always interested in robots as a kid." She said, with a lost smile and downward stare. "’was always the kid who broke apart all his toys and spent hours trying to put them back together." She explained with subtle hand gestures. "And when, Ms. Durante, did Nico start showing interest in computers and such?" The doctor asked. "Oh, as soon as he could, doctor. He always took the technology classes because he said he wanted to understand them in every way possible. I always thought it was the funniest thing because my husband and I had no interest in them." She said chuckling under her breath. "I see, I see." said the doctor, smiling. "So when Nico says things like, “They're among us” and “They're here,” what exactly goes through your mind?” "Honestly, doctor, I wish I had some sort of clue. All I know is he seemed to get real caught up in his computer junk before this sudden outburst of his. In fact, he built a robot for me and my husband not too long ago! Sure helped us out with all our things around the house." "He “built” you a robot? What does it do?" The doctor asked with sincere curiosity. "Ya’ mean Fidio? Oh, Fidio was just like one of us! He would help me out with chores around the house and I was really happy. Until Nico shut him down one day without much of an explanation.. I really miss them both." The doctor had an odd look on his face. "I've got some, err, important meetings to attend. I’ll schedule an appointment for further questioning. Thank you for your time, Ms. Durante." He said, quickly and rushed through a door to a long hall before Ms. Durante could say anything.

5 YEARS EARLIER

 “It is the 4th of June, 3014. I, Nico Durante, have discovered something incredible. A true revolution for mankind. I’m filming this in hopes that my work doesn't go unnoticed. When I pull the tarp from the object in front of you, it will reveal my greatest experiment and creation. If I told you that I've single-handedly infused mechanized scrap metal with artificially evolved human tissue to create a living, breathing robot complete with emotion and rational thinking… would you believe me? Well, I wouldn't. But whether you choose to or not is completely irrelevant at this point. Interested yet?” Said Nico before reaching to adjust the camera's angle more downward. "PEOPLE OF EARTH... BEHOLD!" He shouted as he vigorously removed the plastic covering from the mysterious object facing the camera. An eerie, slender, human-like body was revealed.

 “What you are seeing is a brand new species. It is not a human being. It is not a robot. It reaps the benefits of both worlds. I've taken the liberty of calling them humanaelites. They are able to think on their own and make rational choices. They look, talk and act just like us humans and would be completely undetectable in a group of us. They are even able to reproduce. But they are better than us. Human beings die off in a matter of years and are cognitively limited. Humanaelites have an infinite capacity for knowledge and they learn *rapidly*. They never forget, and they will never die naturally. How, you ask? Tons of math, loneliness and coffee. But do not be fooled or afraid! This is the first and only of its kind. Should anything go wrong, a remote controlled electromagnetic pulse is sent to the “brain” of the subject at hand, disabling it until manual reactivation. When I flip this switch, the experiment will awaken.” He said, nervously but excited.  “FIDIO, WELCOME TO HUMANITY!” The mad scientist exclaimed before flipping a switch slightly out of view. A bright light flashed. Subtle, random motions that grew more sporadic in a short time took over the experiment’s corpse. In a matter of minutes, the being had stopped and a blank stare assumed its facial expression. Low moans and confused breathing could be heard from the creature. “IT’S ALIVE! HAHAHAHA IT’S ACTUALLY ALIVE! I’VE DONE IT! FIDIO! YOU’RE ALIVE!”  He shouted in pure joy. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he softly caressed Fidio’s face. “It’s okay. Don’t worry, my friend. You’ll know much more than blank stares and mindless humming in a matter of hours.” Said Nico with a warm smile before shutting off the camera. “Let’s introduce you to the family!” he said. He hurriedly placed Fidio into a wheelchair he’d bought specifically for this occasion. He entered the living room, where his parents were watching television. His mother gasped in horror. “Don’t worry! Please don’t be afraid! Everything is okay!” hurried Nico. “Nico, who is that man?” “It’s not a man, mom. It’s a.. it’s a robot! I built him to help you with things around the house!” “Nico, you’re so thoughtful. Darling, you’re a star. You know that?” said Nico’s mom. “Well, go on! How do you turn ‘eem on?” said Nico’s eager dad. “I.. he um. You have to let him charge up! I’m going to let it- err, him, charge in the guest room. Sound good?” said Nico. “That’s fine by me, dear.” said his mom, with a proud smile. “I just can’t wait to tell all of my friends about this!” she said. Nico hurried Fidio to the guest room, laid him in bed and tucked him in. “Sleep well.” He said, softly. Nico and his family proceeded to have dinner. Nico explained all of the wonderful features of Fidio to his parents. They pretended to understand him, unaware of the genius they were dealing with. The next day, Nico went to check up on his wonderful creation. When he opened the door to the guest bedroom, he couldn’t believe his eyes.  Fidio was standing up, facing away. “F-Fidio?” said Nico, nervously. Fidio didn’t respond at first. “Fidio can you hear me?” no response. A few seconds later, Fidio began moving slightly. He turned completely to face Nico. They both stood in silence staring at each other for a few moments. Nico was extremely nervous. “Friend.” Said Fidio, as he reached out a hand. “y-yes. Yes. Yes! YES! FRIEND! YES!” exclaimed Nico before rushing towards Fidio. He hugged the slim creature and cried a little more. Within a week, Fidio had the cognitive function of a 25 year-old man. He’d taken on the responsibility of helping Nico’s mother around the house with chores. Nico was the happiest he’d been since he’d developed his first nano-processor in the year 2085. He swore to never reveal his discovery or Fidio to the public, for fear of persecution. A few years passed and something terrible happened. Something that changed the world forever..

 “We're live in Annapolis where authorities say they have shot and killed what appears to be a human-like robot. This is the scene that took place after a gruesome bank robbery from the alleged creature and a few suspects that got away before police arrived. A fracture in the skull where a bullet entered the criminal’s head revealed a mysterious array of electronic circuits and technology that appears to have served as some sort of secondary brain for the monster. An autopsy is scheduled next week, where scientists will-“ “turn it off.” Nico interrupted. Nothing happened. “Don’t you have ears? I said change the channel!” The television went blank as Fidio put down the remote. “Am I a monster?” He whispered to himself. Nico didn’t hear him. “I’ve got to go. Take care of the house.” said Nico, as he hurried to his feet and into his laboratory, locking the door behind him. He turned on the camera and began to record. “I don’t know how, but they’ve done it. They’ve developed the technology I swore wouldn’t escape this room. It almost seems impossible. It’s as if experiment x 3617, err, Fidio, somehow escaped the perimeter barrier field and discovered how to reproduce. No. He couldn’t have. Even if he wanted to I.. I don’t know. This is bad. This is very bad. I have to warn everyone. We’re all in grave danger. I have to shut him down just in case. God help us.” Nico said, almost whispering before turning the camera off. He held a strange looking remote with a big blue button on it. He closed his eyes and kissed it softly before regretfully pressing the button, then returned to a lifeless Fidio. He dragged Fidio into the laboratory and laid him down onto the experimentation table once again. “I’m sorry… friend.” He whispered as he closed Fidio’s eyes.

 Months went by and more and more reports of robot humans flooded the news. Nico was growing very worried and confused. He called every science lab in the country to warn them but no one took him seriously. They blamed the government and joined forces with rioting conspiracy theorists. More and more crimes were committed by these super beings. The number of human lives lost skyrocketed. Amidst the chaos, Nico tried hopelessly to warn everyone. They all took him for a deranged fool. One day, he decided to return to his laboratory in an attempt to reactivate Fidio. Perhaps he could end all of this. The huge metal door to the lab swung open. Light pierced the darkness as Nico stepped inside. His heart skipped 3 beats. Fidio was gone. Outraged and confused, Nico began slamming himself into the storage cabinets and throwing heavy objects around. He kicked over experiment desks and clawed down hanging decorations and data tables. His blood pressure rose with every bit of anger. Eventually, Nico’s body shut down. He began to go into shock. His mother heard the strange loud noises and rushed down to see what the matter was. She arrived at Nico’s motionless corpse and burst into tears, immediately calling an ambulance. When Nico woke up in the hospital, he began to panic.

 "They're among us." He said, shaking in fear. "They're here and nobody is listening to me!" His anxious eyes examined the room. The nurse looked at him and murmured to the doctor. "I'm not crazy. You have to believe me!” he exclaimed. Doctors rushed him to the back of a long, dark hallway. “Hello?” he called. “Is… anyone there? You have to help me. We’re in huge trouble. I’ve made a mistake! Hello!?” No responses. Nico was alone. A few moments went by and the doors at the front of the hallway emerged. “I’ll schedule an appointment for further questioning. Thank you for your time, Ms. Durante." Nico heard someone say in the distance.

 The doors closed tightly and Nico could hear footsteps approaching. “Hello? You have to listen to me. You have to help me. I’m not crazy. Please believe me! Hello?” he cried. A light switched on. Nico rubbed his eyes to adjust to the sudden intake of brightness.  “Hello, Nico.” said the doctor. His voice turned very strange. Almost robotic. “H-hi.  Listen, those creatures on the news, I-“ “I know what they are.” the doctor interrupted. He spoke very calmly. “I know who you are.” He said. “You do?” replied a confused Nico. “Well, don’t you recognize me?” asked the doctor. “No. Not in the slightest. How do you know me? How do you know what those things are?” The doctor stood in silence. “ANSWER ME!” demanded Nico. The doctor slowly reached out a hand as he looked at Nico. An evil grin washed his face as he said

“….Friend.”

title: [SF] Humanaelites (First short story. Whatya think?)

question: What could have happened to Nico at the end of the story?

answer: Since it appears that the technology is too advanced for the world to understand, it is likely that the humanaelites are still in need of Nico's skills and talents. They are likely to either get him on their side or force him to perform maintenance, upgrades, and maybe even help with production.

question: How did the humanaelites reproduce?

DOUNREAY CASTLE is a ruined 16th-century L-plan castle,[1] about west of Thurso, Highland (council area), Scotland, within the grounds of Dounreay Nuclear Power Development Establishment.[2] It is also known as Dounreay House.[3] The castle and its associated structures are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[4]

History

The castle is thought to date from the latter part of the 16th century.[5] It was a property of the Sinclairs,[6] the owner in 1614 being William Sinclair of Dunbeath, while in 1726 it was one of the lodgings of the Earl of Caithness.[7] Ownership passed to the Forbeses, to the Mackays of Reay, and then to the Mackays of Tongue.[8] Occupation continued until 1863, but the castle was unroofed and ruinous by 1910. The site was used a farm, with the courtyard being the farmyard, with the first of two ranges of cottages possibly being added south east of the castle in the 17th century.[9]

Cromwellian troops were housed in the castle in the mid-17th century. The site was leveled with the exception of the castle and the north-east cottage block during the building of the research establishment.[10]

Structure

The castle comprised a three-storey main block, and the jamb containing a scale-and-platt stair. Above an unvaulted basement was the hall.[11] The dimensions of the main block were by , and those of the wing by , while the walls were about . The entrance is in the re-entrant angle of the jamb, below the staircase.[12]

The castle was enclosed by a barmkin, parts of which survive on the south western and seaward sides. The former is keyed into the tower and the latter has been incorporated into a later cottage wall. A kitchen range was added, built against the barmkin, and blocked an original gun loop in the tower.[13]

The north west angle of the castle has collapsed, as has part of the western wall, filling much of the interior with rubble. In addition, the northern wall was bulging outwards as of 1964.[14][15]

In 1997–1998 an “archaeological monitoring exercise” was conducted in the castle courtyard and on the beach. Due to security concerns, the test pits were excavated by machine, supervised by the archaeologists remotely and by local staff on site. Little was found other than a large millstone, probably associated with the mill depicted on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey map.[16]

OVERVIEW:

INTRODUCTION

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus is an animé beat-em up game released by Marvelous on March 26, 2015. The game features the largest roster to date for any game in the Senran Kagura series and is available for both the PS4 and PS Vita. This Guide is based on the 1.20 patch, which is the latest one as of June 27th 2016.

The story follows 25 girls as they make their way through the Kagura Millennium Festival. Along the way, side stories are unlocked for each of these girls as long as a certain amount of Festival Platforms are destroyed.

The gameplay is rather repetitive but there is a lot of fun to be had with this game. Each girl has a different playstyle that spices up the combat, though you may realize that each girl has one or two moves that you can rely on for most of the time. Regardless, if you are looking to play an anime beat-em up game, you found it!

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

These are some things to watch out for with this game credit to TERMINATOR for this:

_The PS4 version, doesn't like being installed on an external hard Drive as it causes it to Crash and Glitch out a fair bit._

_If either PSN, your connection or the Estival Versus servers conk out, you will be stuck on a perpetual screen that says either "Checking Age" or "Checking Patch" and the only way to get rid of these is to close the game and reboot it. The first error message only seems to appear when doing the Millennium Lottery._

    Each Shinobi Girl's Heart story consists of five battles against a varying numbers of bosses but they all seem to follow this pattern:

    -   Battle One: 1 versus 1
    -   Battle Two: 1 versus 2
    -   Battle Three: 1 versus 1
    -   Battle Four: 1 versus 3
    -   Battle Five: 1 versus 1

    Each girl has their own fighting style and some seem better than others. If you practice with their Ninja Arts, you will see which ones you can abuse to speed up your playthrough as that girl.

    Defeated a boss with a combined aerial rave.

    A combined aerial rave is when your character and her partner team up during an aerial rave. As such, this trophy can only be attempted on cooperative missions, missions that feature your character and an A.I controlled partner. A combined aerial rave can be performed in any mode, so do not worry about that. What is most worrisome is whether or not your opponent will have too much health or too little health to defeat them. If you have heavily damaged your opponent’s Flash mode, she will more often than not transform into her Yang mode, which completely regenerates her health. From here lock onto her with [] (if you have not been already), knock her health down to about a third, and launch her with the standard [] combo or the [] + [] + [] combo. She will fly into the air allowing you to chase her by pressing []. While in chase, slash her up a couple of times with [] then press the [] to activate combined aerial rave. If done correctly, your partner will join you for a small cutscene of the both of you attacking your opponent together. For the trophy, the combined aerial rave has to deplete your opponent's health gauge to zero (thus effectively defeating her).

    Completed a mission with a Secret Ninja Art or Ultimate Secret Ninja Art.

    You will most likely get this trophy without even realizing it. Every girl has two Secret Ninja Arts and one Ultimate Secret Ninja Art that are only usable during Yang mode (Shinobi Mode) and Yin mode (Frantic Mode). To activate Yang mode, simply press []. This will trigger a cutscene of the girl changing into her Shinobi attire. Alternatively, you can go into Yin mode by pressing [] and then putting two fingers on the PS4 []. A cutscene will trigger where you will have to tear the girl’s clothes off; do this by touching the [] with two fingers again. Now that you are in Yang/Yin mode, be sure that you have enough scrolls to actually perform a Secret Ninja Art or Ultimate Ninja Art! You get scrolls from keeping combos going for a long time, the yellow bar on the bottom left has to completely fill up to gain one scroll, and sometimes they randomly drop from enemies. I have outlined the requirements and control schemes for the three types of Ninja Arts below.

    For the trophy, all you have to do is defeat the final enemy of a stage with one of these attacks:

    Secret Ninja Art 1 = [] + []
    Scroll Requirement: 1 scroll

    Secret Ninja Art 2 = [] + []
    Scroll Requirement: 2 scrolls

    Ultimate Ninja Art = [] + []
    Scroll Requirement = 5 scrolls
    Character Level Requirement = Level 12

    Struck 20 enemies with ball objects.

    There are several levels throughout the game that feature ball objects. These ball objects vary from beach balls, to soccer balls, and even basketballs. For this trophy, all you have to do is hit 20 enemies with any of these ball objects. You can run into the ball object to kick it into a mob of enemies or you can hit the ball into them with attacks. As long as 20 enemies are struck with ball like objects, the trophy will unlock.

    Defeated 20 enemies with Bombshells.

    This is easily done on Day 0 during the mission titled "Guided by Wild Grass". This mission introduces you to Bombshells and there is an infinite spawn of them because of this. Simply run over the Bombshell and then position your character towards the group of enemies. Locking on with [] may help you get in position, but your character will not accurately throw the bomb at the enemy! This means that if an enemy is close to you, you will not be able to hit them with the bomb. Regardless, throw the Bombshell by pressing [] into the cluster of enemies. There are plenty of enemies on this level to get this trophy done early on. Once 20 enemies have been defeated by Bombshells, the trophy will unlock.

    Stripped enemy bosses 100 times.

    This trophy will come naturally over your playthroughs. If you do enough damage to another Shinobi girl, then their clothing will break. In Flash Mode and Yang Mode you can strip their clothes twice so that is four per girl, assuming you let them transform. You will know when you have stripped their clothing as a small cutscene will occur that shows their clothes ripping apart with an embarrassed look on their face. You can check this statistic under the "Library" option at the Beach Menu. When in the "Library" menu, move [] or [] with the D-Pad to switch to your statistics. Once you have reached 100 in the "Clothes Destroyed" category, the trophy will unlock. It seems that if you disable the Clothing Breaks from Damage setting in the Settings Menu, then the "Clothes Destroyed" category will not increase so do not disable this setting!

    Defeat an enemy boss with a creative finish.

    A Creative Finish is a fancy way to finish of a boss in a level. If you defeat a boss in front of a "!" sign, a special cutscene will occur that strips the girl and shows them in an embarrassed position. For this trophy, all you have to do is perform one creative finisher on a boss.

    Obtained all the items in the store.

    (Collectible)

    There are a lot of items that have to be purchased in the store for this trophy but it can only be obtained after you have completed the Kagura Millennium Festival storyline, every girl's Shinobi Girl's Heart Mission (including Daidoji and Rin) and you must have performed the 38 collectible creative finishers. This will unlock everything in the store.

    I have linked a Google Spreadsheet with every item in the store, its unlock requirement and respective price: LINK

    Below are the totals for each category and the grand total as well.

    Outfits: 92,220 Zeni
    Hair: 184,260 Zeni
    Accessories: 149,280 Zeni
    Videos: 483,440 Zeni
    Music: 362,440 Zeni

    GRAND TOTAL: 1,271,640 Zeni

    By the time I completed everything, I had just enough Zeni to purchase everything in the store. Zeni seems to be related to the combo meter and rank at the end of each mission so be sure to maximize each of these categories.

LEONORA MARY JOHNSON[1] (24 July 1902 – 1 May 2000), known professionally as NORA SWINBURNE, was an English actress. She is best known for her appearances in many British films.

Early years

Swinburne was born in Bath, Somerset, the daughter of Henry Swinburne Johnson and his wife Leonora Tamar (née Brain). She was educated at Rosholme College, Weston-super-Mare, and studied for the stage at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. As a member of Clive Currie's Young Players in 1914, she appeared at the Grand, Croydon, Court and Little Theatres, during that year.

In 1914 she attended an audition with the ballerina Phyllis Bedells and later Anna Pavlova who considered her too young, even if very talented, for the corps de ballet. Nora instead joined the Italia Conti school where she obtained her first real part as a child actress in Where the Rainbow Ends. She performed in the show in London and in all the big cities of Britain for eighteen shillings (90p) a week.[2]

At the end of 1915 she gained a place at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. While still a student at the Academy she appeared at the New Theatre on 11 April 1916 as the Wild Flowers in _Paddly Pools_; appeared at the Comedy Theatre, September 1916, as a dancer in the revue, _This and That_; and in October 1916 appeared in _Samples_ at the Globe Theatre (now the Gielgud Theatre). She also appeared at the Globe in March 1917 as Gabrielle in _Suzette_. Other early roles included Lulu in _Yes, Uncle!_ at the Prince of Wales Theatre in December 1917, and Regina Waterhouse at the Strand Theatre in December 1918.

At the Apollo Theatre in 1919 she played the title role in _Tilly of Bloomsbury_ “for about six weeks”, according to her personal notes in _Who's Who in the Theatre_, followed by the role of Roselle in _The Betrothal_ at the Gaiety in January 1921, concluding the year with what she charmingly called “several cinema plays”.[3]

[U.S. President Donald Trump and White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow leave the G7 Leaders Summit in La Malbaie, Que., on June 9, 2018. The next day Kudlow, and one of his top aides on trade, Peter Navarro, slammed Trudeau and accused him of a backstabbing “betrayal” of Trump.]

__Sun., June 10, 20185 min. read

Article was updated Jun. 11, 2018

WASHINGTON—Top aides to U.S. President Donald Trump hurled public and personal insults at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday in a baffling and unprecedented attack one suggested was intended as a show of strength to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

The insults were by far the harshest words Trump’s administration has levelled at any allied leader. They demonstrated a level of public vitriol not seen in Canada-U.S. relations in more than 50 years.

Trump began the onslaught with a Saturday tweet in which he called Trudeau “dishonest and weak.” In Sunday interviews on CNN and Fox News, Trump’s top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, and senior trade adviser, Peter Navarro, used still more disparaging adjectives — “amateurish,” “rogue,” “sophomoric” — and vaguely accused Trudeau of a “double-cross” and “betrayal.”

Navarro delivered the most incendiary comment: “There’s a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door.”

Trudeau declined to respond directly, saying on Twitter that what truly “matters” is the accomplishments of the G7. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said: “Canada does not believe that ad hominem attacks are a particularly appropriate or useful way to conduct our relations with other countries.”

The Trump fury was especially bizarre because it did not seem to be prompted by anything Trudeau had actually done. Kudlow and Navarro claimed the problem was Trudeau’s post-G7 press conference — in which the prime minister criticized Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs in the same restrained manner he had been employing all week.

Share your thoughts

Kudlow eventually offered a kind of explanation: Trudeau’s criticism had made Trump look weak, he said, and Trump does not want to be seen by Kim as weak when they hold their summit on Tuesday.

“Kim must not see American weakness. It’s that short,” Kudlow said.

“POTUS (president of the United States) is not gonna let a Canadian prime minister push him around, push him, POTUS, around, President Trump, on the eve of this,” Kudlow said. “He is not going to permit any show of weakness on a trip to negotiate with North Korea.”

There is no obvious precedent for White House aides publicly slamming an allied prime minister in such personal terms. Other presidents and prime ministers have had testy relations — Richard Nixon famously used a profane word, in private, to refer to Trudeau’s father, Pierre — but neither side has publicly demonstrated this level of hostility since John Diefenbaker feuded with John F. Kennedy in the early 1960s.

“I think people hear this kind of stuff on CNN and they think, ‘We’ve gone off the rails. This is a whole new realm of crazy because none of this makes any rational sense,’ ” said Christopher Sands, director of the Center for Canadian Studies at Johns Hopkins University. The attack on Trudeau comes across as so unreasonable that Trump will have to “tone it down” and attempt a “public rapprochement,” but the relationship can be substantively damaged in the interim, Sands said.

Trump, who ran on his opposition to “political correctness,” often attempts to excite his base, and himself, by deviating from long-held norms about polite behaviour.

“You’re dealing with a Grade A bully,” said Paul Frazer, a former Canadian diplomat and now a Washington consultant.

Trump’s abrupt shift in his approach to Trudeau, whom he had previously appeared to like, comes at a high-stakes moment in the bilateral relationship. The two sides are still attempting to negotiate a new North American Free Trade Agreement. And Trump is now threatening to impose tariffs on foreign automobiles and auto parts, which would dwarf the impact of the steel tariffs.

Freeland attempted to turn the focus from the personal insults to Trump’s “illegal and unjustified” tariffs, which he has officially imposed on “national security” grounds. Such tariffs are the most important insult, Freeland said, and Canada has no choice but to respond, in “sorrow,” with reciprocal, equivalent tariffs.

“We use fact-based arguments,” she said.

She added: “At the end of the day, common sense will prevail. And, you know, the fact that we’re united right now is going to help us to get there.”

The insults prompted an outpouring of support for Trudeau from allies and politicians across the political spectrum in both countries.

Conservative opposition leader Andrew Scheer said on Twitter: “Canada’s Conservatives continue to support the Prime Minister’s efforts to make the case for free trade. Divisive rhetoric and personal attacks from the U.S. administration are clearly unhelpful.”

Incoming Ontario premier Doug Ford said on Twitter: “We will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Prime Minister and the people of Canada.”

Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, said on Twitter: “There is a special place in heaven for @JustinTrudeau.”

Trump drops bombshell after leaving G7 summit, accusing Trudeau of ‘false statements’

The G7 summit, summed up in one photo

Opinion | Tony Burman: Justin Trudeau’s G7 address to Donald Trump, uncensored

Trudeau plans to retaliate to Trump’s 25-per-cent tariff on Canadian steel and 10-per-cent tariff on Canadian aluminum with an equivalent dollar amount worth of tariffs on dozens of U.S. products. Navarro, a hardliner on trade who has Trump’s ear, claimed that this retaliation is “nothing short of an attack on our political system.”

Trump roiled the G7 summit with his belligerence toward Canada and Europe and with his call for Russia to be invited back into the group. He added further tension by giving a news conference in which he again blasted his allies’ trade practices. He later rejected the countries’ joint statement, via tweet, hours after he had agreed to accept it.

Returning to the administration’s frequent strategy of accusing Trump’s opponents of the behaviour Trump is being accused of, Kudlow alleged Trudeau was the one who had damaged the alliance with his own news conference.

“You don’t walk away and start firing bullets,” said Kudlow, who at one point called Trudeau “Pierre Trudeau.” He added: “He really, actually, you know: he did a great disservice to the whole G7.”

Former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, Trudeau’s predecessor, appeared on Fox soon after Navarro. He said, “I don’t understand the obsession with trade relations with Canada.”

“This is the wrong target. And from what I understand of American public opinion, I don’t think even Trump supporters think the Canadian trade relationship is a problem,” Harper said.

question: What happened to Trudeau?

answer: Several Trump aides personally insulted Trudeau.

question: What were the aides' reasoning for these insults?

answer: The aides claim that America cannot appear weak before meeting with North Korea.

question: What does Trudeau claim truly matters?

answer: Trudeau claims that what truly matters are the accomplishments of the G7 summit.

question: What are the US and Canada trying to negotiate as this happens?

answer: The US and Canada are trying to negotiate a new North American Free Trade Agreement.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: Trump aides insult Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, claiming to not show weakness. This comes immediately after the G7 summit, and before Trump is to meet with North Korea. This sort of behavior is historically out of character between US and Canada.

Before time existed, there was a forest. No animals lived in the forest, & one ever entered the forest. It remained silent & still for eons.
That is of course, until one rainy night. A raindrop, just like any other raindrop, hit the ground. More & more raindrops fell, and a puddle appeared. From the puddle, a small, chubby hand reached out. It grabbed the dirt & pulled itself out. The small hand was attracted to a young girl.
She blinked.
In front of her stood thin, spindly trees. They were golden, like the harp strings whom’s music echos faintly in her mind.
Silence & rain.
No more rain.
Silence.
A flash of white fur struck the corner of her eye.
Suddenly there in front of her stood a stag.

“Hello?” The little girl trembled.
The stag stood watching. Then, it lowered it’s head. It’s eyes were as black as obsidian.
It placed it’s head in her arms. “I made you, & I will keep you safe.” The stag said, “I love you very much.”

“What is your name?” She asked.

“I am who I am,” the stag bellowed, “I will call you Lucy.”

“I like the name Lucy. You are very beautiful Mr. Stag.”

The rain, which had stopped briefly, returned.

“Walk with me, Lucy.” The Stag stomped the ground, & an umbrella emerged.

Lucy grabbed it, & winced slightly at the sudden pause of rain.

She got up, & neared the Stag. She held his on to him to keep herself steady.

They walked for a minutes, or hours, or seconds. No one could really be sure. “I wish to be like you, Mr Stag. You are so lovely with your white fur.”

“You don’t know what you ask.”

However long they were walking, the trees were now as large as the pillars from the heaven Lucy came from, but no longer recalls.

The Stag laid down to rest, & beckoned Lucy to come rest with him.

As he laid down to rest, Lucy took a piece of his horn, and used it to cut off his flesh, which she wrapped over herself. Lucy was now covered in rich, soft white fur.
When the Stag awoke, he noticed his fur was gone, and he was naked. He knew what had happened.
This cursed Lucy to be a doe of mere flesh and bone, condemned to die.
Time was set into motion. Death was the first clock.
Lucy hid from the stag till her death.

The Stag found Lucy three hundred & sixty five days later while he was rounding the forest. He was crushed.

He decided to call her demise a year.
He was so moved, he decided to lay down by her one last time. He fell into a deep sleep.
The trees, saw the Stag’s mourning. They were crushed, because they felt the pure love the Stag had for his creation.
The trees mourned as well. They rid themselves of their leaves, turning them into a blood red, before they fell off. This was the first time they had done anything so risky. The Stag would later call this Fall.

When the Stag woke up, the sky was sunny & blue. The trees were full of leaves & heavy with a bright red fruit. He walked up to one & tasted it. The fruit was sweet. he called it an apple.
That’s when the Stag saw him.

The boy jumped. He had just opened his eyes. In front of him was the corpse of a deer, long dead and rotting.
A few paces behind the rotting deer, stood a stag.
The Stag looked at the boy. His empty skull showing no expression.

“A-are you Death? Did you kill that deer?” The boy asked.

“No I am not death,” the stag answered.

“Who are you?”

“I am a friend. May I sit with you?”

The boy glanced warily at the Stag for several moments before nodding.
“You May call me Ternate,” said the Stag,” for I am the sky, the forest’s trees, & this stag.”

“You’re the sky? I came from the sky, I think,” the boy pointed upward,” can I have an apple?” Ternate nodded.

“Ternate, are you sure you aren’t death? You seem very scary.”

The Stag, realizing that he was currently nothing but bones, shook the trees down, and dressed himself in leaves.
They sat together, until the sun set.
The boy eyed Lucy.

“Am I going to die like that deer, Ternate?”
The stag looked over at Lucy’s body, seeing himself in her fur.

“I don’t know. Only time will tell.”

“Oh.”

“Can we go somewhere else? It’s getting dark.”

The stag nodded, lifting its heavy frame up from where it sat.
The Stag walked up to Lucy one last time and pressed his forehead to hers. The ground opened up and took her in.
The leaves the stag wore turned back to white fur.
Without hesitating, the boy’s eyes lit up “You’re beautiful, Mr. Stag.”

    -   Covered the Lakers and NBA for ESPNLosAngeles.com from 2009-14, the Cavaliers from 2014-18 for ESPN.com and the NBA for NBA.com from 2005-09.

CLEVELAND -- Following one of the most inept defensive performances in Cavaliers history, LeBron James said his team looked primed for a short postseason appearance, barring any changes.

The Cavs fell 148-124 to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, tying a franchise record for most points allowed in regulation. They are 3-9 since Christmas Day.

"Playoffs? We can't even start thinking about that, not the way we're playing right now," James said. "We could easily get bounced early in the playoffs if they started next weekend. Haven't even began thinking about the postseason."

What James was thinking about was the Cavaliers' defensive effort, the likes of which, he says, he never has seen.

"I've never in my basketball life gave up 148 points, not even probably playing video games," James said. "They got everything that they wanted. Inside, outside -- they had it moving. ... It's just a really bad, really bad loss on our part."

It's the Cavs' accumulation of losses that is more disturbing, leaving a team coming off three straight NBA Finals appearances sounding rattled. When James was asked to identify the No. 1 problem facing Cleveland, all he could do was chuckle at his team's predicament.

"That's way too hard," James said. "We got a lot of things going on. It's not 1, it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We got some searching to figure out how we can be better."

One potential change James said he does not agree with is Cleveland letting go of coach Tyronn Lue in response to the team's recent doldrums.

"I would hope not," James said. "But I really don't know. I don't know what's going to happen with our team. I have no idea what conversations have been going on. Me personally, I've been trying to stay as laser-sharp as I can to keep my guys ready to go out and play. Obviously, it hasn't resulted in wins, but I got to stay as fresh mentally as much I can with the struggles. I can't worry about job securities and trades and things of that nature. I just stay as focused as I can every night to go out and compete and try to help us win ballgames."

Cavs guard JR Smith said Lue and his coaching staff are not to blame.

"I mean, they can't go out there and play for us," Smith told ESPN when asked about the staff's effectiveness. "If they come up with the schemes and we execute those schemes to a T and we're still losing at a certain point and time, they can make their adjustments. But we're just not executing offensively or defensively."

Lue defended his staff's ability to connect with its players.

"I think so," he said. "I think at times matchup based, it's tough -- a lot of matchups on the floor -- but they respond. Not giving up on us and we're not giving up on them, so, that's not a problem at all. That wouldn't be the case."

James said it falls on him to find a way to turn around the season.

"I can't break," he said. "I'm the last one that can break at this point. I'm the leader of this team. Hopefully we can get some wins, and that definitely helps, but I'm going to stay as positive as I can be. You guys know me, patience is not always been a thing for me, but knowing the rough patch that we're in right now, that's what I'm going to give to this team. Just stay positive."

The Cavs will practice Sunday, making it a rare week in which they'll practice three times, and Lue said he'll reserve his comments to his players until then, when they have their film session.

In the meantime, Cleveland's players will fester about another blowout loss on national TV.

"It's embarrassing," Isaiah Thomas said. "It's not acceptable. We can only go up from here, that's the only positive about that. We've got to really look in the mirror, look at ourselves and get some pride."

Asked to compare the Cavs with his former team, Thomas said the Boston Celtics "were just a better defensive team."

"We played a lot harder," Thomas said of the Celtics, "and we have the guys to do that on this team. We just got to do it and really lock in on that end. We really need to trust each other on that end, and that is the biggest thing on defense is trusting the next guy that got your back, and that guy who helps trusting the next guy after that who has the backend.

"I think on that end we do not trust each other, and that has to change."

The Cavs' next six opponents, starting Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs, all have records of .500 or better.

"I'm sure everybody's handling it their own way," Dwyane Wade said. "Some might handle it with a couple bottles of wine, some may handle it other ways. But only speaking on my behalf as a competitor, these times suck. These times are the times that make everything else, you understand the importance of winning games, you understand how hard it is to win championships. It makes you appreciate things when you go through the tough times."

Navigating those tough times, Wade says, will involve uncomfortable conversations.

"I think the biggest thing that can happen is can't no one be sensitive to whatever it needs to be," Wade said. "There's [for example] 13 things that's wrong and coach decides to point out one thing and you're the one that he points out, you can't be sensitive to it. You've got to understand that you can be better and this can be done better. We have to take accountability. I think we want it because we want to win. We're looking for it. So hopefully in these next few weeks before the All-Star break we can start getting a little more accountable to ourselves and to this team and just play a little better."

As bad as things are right now for the Cavs, James says their only option is to focus on improving.

"Just want to keep working on habits," James said. "I'm just here to get better. I want to get better. We're in a tough spot right now, but we will get better. It could be worse. We could be 15th in the East or out of the playoff picture. We still got to get back to what we do and we will figure it out. I'm not here to look for pity on what we're trying to do. No one is going to feel sorry for us. I don't feel sorry for us either. I want us to get better."

question: What was the score?

answer: The Cavaliers fell 148-124 to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

question: What plans have the Cavaliers come up with?

answer: The Cavaliers have decided to practice three times this week, which is quite rare for the team.

Trump Says It's OK He Misled Media About Son's Russia Meeting

President Donald Trump said on Friday that it doesn’t matter if he misled the media about his son’s infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russian nationals.

The president’s lawyers admitted nearly two weeks ago that he dictated a statement that Donald Trump Jr. released about the meeting. When pressed by reporters Friday morning, Trump said, “It’s irrelevant. It’s a statement to The New York Times. The phony, failing New York Times.”

  — Zack Ford (@ZackFord) June 15, 2018

Trump Jr. met with a Kremlin-linked attorney at his father’s property in June 2016, after he was told he would receive damaging information on presidential campaign rival Hillary Clinton. In the first statement on the meeting, first published by The New York Times, the president’s son said the group was there to discuss adoption policy.

“That’s not a statement to a high tribunal of judges,” Trump continued Friday, as he spoke to reporters on the White House lawn. “That’s a statement to the phony New York Times. In fact, frankly, you shouldn’t even speak to The New York Times because they only write phony stories, anyway.”

Trump’s casual stance on telling the truth was also apparent in remarks he made about retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

“I feel badly for General Flynn. He’s lost his house; he’s lost his life,” Trump said. “And some people say he lied and some people say he didn’t lie. I mean, really, it turned out maybe he didn’t lie.”
