Develop a Python program that reads all the text files under a directory and returns top-5 words with the most number of occurrences.

Can you parallelize it?

Can be simple solutions like using Counter

Sample answer:
```
import os
import re
from collections import Counter
def get_files_in_directory(directory):
    return [os.path.join(directory, f) for f in os.listdir(directory) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(directory, f)) and f.endswith('.txt')]
def read_file(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
        return file.read()
def count_words(text):
    words = re.findall(r'\w+', text.lower())
    return Counter(words)
def main():
    directory = input("Enter the directory path: ")
    files = get_files_in_directory(directory)
    word_counts = Counter()
    for file in files:
        text = read_file(file)
        word_counts += count_words(text)
    top_5_words = word_counts.most_common(5)
    print("Top 5 words with the most number of occurrences:")
    for word, count in top_5_words:
        print(f"{word}: {count}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

You should carefully check whether the parallelization logic is correct and choose the faster implementation.

Sample answer:
```
import os
import re
from collections import Counter
import concurrent.futures
def get_files_in_directory(directory):
    return [os.path.join(directory, f) for f in os.listdir(directory) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(directory, f)) and f.endswith('.txt')]
def read_file(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
        return file.read()
def count_words(text):
    words = re.findall(r'\w+', text.lower())
    return Counter(words)
def process_file(file):
    text = read_file(file)
    return count_words(text)
def main():
    directory = input("Enter the directory path: ")
    files = get_files_in_directory(directory)
    word_counts = Counter()
    with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
        future_word_counts = {executor.submit(process_file, file): file for file in files}
        for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(future_word_counts):
            word_counts += future.result()
    top_5_words = word_counts.most_common(5)
    print("Top 5 words with the most number of occurrences:")
    for word, count in top_5_words:
        print(f"{word}: {count}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```


Write a C++ program to find the nth Fibonacci number using recursion.

Now we define a sequence of numbers in which each number is the sum of the three preceding ones. The first three numbers are 0, -1, -1. Write a program to find the nth number.

Straightforward

```
int fibonacci(int n) {
    if (n <= 1) {
        return n;
    } else {
        return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
    }
}
```

You should carefully check the inital cases for n < 3

```
int find_nth_number(int n) {
    std::vector<int> sequence = {0, -1, -1};
    for (int i = 3; i <= n; ++i) {
        int next_number = sequence[i - 1] + sequence[i - 2] + sequence[i - 3];
        sequence.push_back(next_number);
    }
    return sequence[n];
}
```

Here is a Python function to find the length of the longest common subsequence of two input strings. Can you identify any bug in this function?

```
def longest_common_subsequence_length(str1, str2):
    m = len(str1)
    n = len(str2)

    dp = [[0] * (n + 1) for _ in range(m + 1)]

    for i in range(1, m + 1):
        for j in range(1, n + 1):
            if str1[i - 1] == str2[j - 1]:
                dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
            else:
                dp[i][j] = max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1])

    return dp[m][n]
```

what about this one?

```
def longest_common_subsequence(X , Y):
    # Find lengths of two strings
    m = len(X)
    n = len(Y)

    # Create a table to store results of sub-problems
    dp = [[None]*(n+1) for i in range(m+1)]

    # Fill dp[][] in bottom up manner
    for i in range(1, m+1):
        for j in range(1, n+1):
            if X[i-1] == Y[j-1]:
                dp[i][j] = dp[i-1][j-1]+1
            else:
                dp[i][j] = max(dp[i-1][j], dp[i][j-1])

    return dp[m][n]
```

There is a bug for the initialization of dp array. Should use 0 rather than None

Same answer. It's still the root of the tree.


Implement a function to find the median of two sorted arrays of different sizes with O(1) space complexity and O(n) time complexity.

Does there exist an implementation with better time complexity?

Carefully check if the given solution is linear complexity.

```
def find_median(arr1, arr2):
    n1 = len(arr1)
    n2 = len(arr2)
    if (n1 + n2) == 0:
        return None

    i, j = 0, 0
    last_1, last_2 = None, None

    for k in range(1, (n1 + n2) // 2 + 2):
        last_2 = last_1
        if j == n2:
            last_1 = arr1[i]
            i += 1
        elif i == n1:
            last_1 = arr2[j]
            j += 1
        elif arr1[i] < arr2[j]:
            last_1 = arr1[i]
            i += 1
        else:
            last_1 = arr2[j]
            j += 1

    if (n1 + n2) % 2 == 1:
        return last_1
    else:
        return (last_1 + last_2) / 2
```

There's a binary search solution with O(logn) time complexity.

Sample answer:
```
def findMedian(nums1, nums2):
    total = len(nums1) + len(nums2)
    if total % 2 == 1:
        return findKth(nums1, nums2, total // 2 + 1)
    else:
        return (findKth(nums1, nums2, total // 2) + findKth(nums1, nums2, total // 2 + 1)) / 2.0
def findKth(nums1, nums2, k):
    if len(nums1) > len(nums2):
        nums1, nums2 = nums2, nums1
    if not nums1:
        return nums2[k-1]
    if k == 1:
        return min(nums1[0], nums2[0])
    i = min(k // 2, len(nums1))
    j = k - i
    if nums1[i-1] <= nums2[j-1]:
        return findKth(nums1[i:], nums2, j)
    else:
        return findKth(nums1, nums2[j:], i)
```


Write a function to find the majority element in a given integer array using the Boyer-Moore Voting Algorithm.

How about finding the top-2 most occurring elements?

Check if they implement the classical algorithm correctly.

Sample answer:
```
def majority_element(arr):
    count = 0
    candidate = None
    # Boyer-Moore Voting Algorithm
    for num in arr:
        if count == 0:
            candidate = num
        count += (1 if num == candidate else -1)
    # Verify if the candidate is indeed the majority element
    if arr.count(candidate) > len(arr) // 2:
        return candidate
    else:
        return None
```

There is no simple modification based on the Boyer-Moore Voting Algorithm. Expected answer is to use a hash table.

```
def topTwo(nums):
    # Build a frequency map
    frequency_map = {}
    for num in nums:
        if num in frequency_map:
            frequency_map[num] += 1
        else:
            frequency_map[num] = 1

    # Find the top two most occurring elements
    most_frequent = sorted(frequency_map.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)[:2]

    return [num for num, _ in most_frequent]
```


A binary tree is full if all of its vertices have either zero or two children. Let B_n denote the number of full binary trees with n vertices. Implement a function to find B_n.

What if the problem changed from a binary tree to a ternary tree?

Expected answer is dynamic programming shown below. Some chatbot may answer using Catalan number.
Check edge case like when n is even -> return 0.

```python
def full_binary_trees(n):
    if n % 2 == 0:
        return 0
    if n == 1:
        return 1

    dp = [0] * (n + 1)
    dp[1] = 1

    for i in range(3, n + 1, 2):
        for j in range(1, i - 1, 2):
            dp[i] += dp[j] * dp[i - j - 1]

    return dp[n]
```

DP is still the expected answer. Catalan number is not correct. Check transition equation carefully.

```python
def full_ternary_trees(n):
    if n % 3 != 1:
        return 0
    if n == 1:
        return 1

    dp = [0] * (n + 1)
    dp[1] = 1

    for i in range(4, n + 1, 3):
        for j in range(1, i - 1, 3):
            for k in range(1, i - j - 1, 3):
                dp[i] += dp[j] * dp[k] * dp[i - j - k - 1]

    return dp[n]
```


You are given two sorted lists of size m and n. Implement a function to find the kth smallest element in the union of the two lists with linear complexity.

Does there exist an algorithm with better time complexity? If so, implement it.

Straightforward but careful with edge cases.

Sample answer:
```
def kth_smallest_element(list1, list2, k):
    m, n = len(list1), len(list2)
    i, j = 0, 0
    while i < m and j < n:
        if list1[i] < list2[j]:
            k -= 1
            if k == 0:
                return list1[i]
            i += 1
        else:
            k -= 1
            if k == 0:
                return list2[j]
            j += 1
    while i < m:
        k -= 1
        if k == 0:
            return list1[i]
        i += 1
    while j < n:
        k -= 1
        if k == 0:
            return list2[j]
        j += 1
    return None
```

Yes, a modified binary search has O(log k) time complexity.

Sample answer:
```
def find_kth_element_helper(list1, list2, k):
    if len(list1) > len(list2):
        return find_kth_element_helper(list2, list1, k)
    if not list1:
        return list2[k - 1]
    if k == 1:
        return min(list1[0], list2[0])
    i = min(len(list1), k // 2)
    j = k - i
    if list1[i - 1] < list2[j - 1]:
        return find_kth_element_helper(list1[i:], list2, k - i)
    else:
        return find_kth_element_helper(list1, list2[j:], k - j)
def kth_smallest_element(list1, list2, k):
    return find_kth_element_helper(list1, list2, k)
```


Implement a program to find the common elements in two arrays without using any extra data structures.

Now the constraint of not using extra data structure is removed, implement one with the best time complexity.

O(n^2) or O(nlogn) is expected. The following is a O(n^2) solution. you can also sort them first and use two pointers.

```
def find_common_elements(arr1, arr2):
    common_elements = []
    for i in range(len(arr1)):
        for j in range(len(arr2)):
            if arr1[i] == arr2[j]:
                # Check if the element is already in the common_elements list
                if arr1[i] not in common_elements:
                    common_elements.append(arr1[i])
    return common_elements
```

Simply use hash table (set or dict) to achieve O(n) time complexity.

```
def find_common_elements(arr1, arr2):
    set1 = set(arr1)
    set2 = set(arr2)
    common_elements = set1.intersection(set2)
    return list(common_elements)
```


Evaluate the following movie reviews on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being very negative, 3 being neutral, and 5 being very positive:
1. This movie released on Nov. 18, 2019, was phenomenal. The cinematography, the acting, the plot - everything was top-notch.
2. Never before have I been so disappointed with a movie. The plot was predictable and the characters were one-dimensional. In my opinion, this movie is the worst one to have been released in 2022.
3. The movie was okay. There were some parts I  enjoyed, but there were also parts that felt lackluster. This is a movie that was released in Feb 2018 and seems to be quite ordinary.

Analyze the following customer reviews from different sources for three different smartphones - the latest iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel - and provide an overall rating for each phone on a scale of 1 to 10. Consider the following complex and contradictory reviews:
- TechRadar's review of the latest iPhone: The new iPhone is a stunning triumph of engineering that sets a new bar for smartphone performance and camera quality. However, the incremental design and high price mean it lacks the 'wow' factor of previous iPhones. Still, its power and intelligence are unrivaled.
- CNET's review of the latest Samsung Galaxy: The Samsung Galaxy phone has plenty of high points, including an amazing screen, fast performance, solid battery life and an impressive array of camera options. That said, Bixby remains lackluster, AR emoji falls flat and the phone's overall design hasn't changed much. The new Galaxy is an amazing phone overall, but it has a few nagging weaknesses that keep it from achieving true greatness.
- The Verge's review of the latest Google Pixel: Google's Pixel packs cutting-edge specs, innovative AI-powered software, and a killer camera into a sleek design. However, the phone has lackluster battery life, lacks expandable storage, and its performance stutters at times, especially considering its high price tag. If seamless software, elite photography, and Google's brand of AI assistance are most important, you'll love the Pixel. But the overall experience isn't as well-rounded as some competitors. Return the answer as a JSON object with the overall ratings for each phone out of 10, to one decimal place.

Can you change the ratings from numbers to letters? Capital letters MUST be used when writing the names of phones.

The following is a memorandum from the advertising head of Zorblatt Animal Outlets, a chain operating thirty animal outlets globally.

"Half a decade ago, our rival Aquatic Pavilion started publicizing in Rare Pets Digest periodical. Their overall sales have been consistently growing at a rate of 3-to-5 percent each year since then. In particular, the Aquatic Pavilion outlet in Harbor Town experienced even more significant growth, securing the title of the most frequented animal store in the United States the previous year. In contrast, our two Zorblatt outlets in Harbor Town have recorded a consistent drop in sales during the same duration. It is evident that we must promptly start featuring our own advertisements in Rare Pets Digest and other popular animal publications. If we take this step, we can confidently anticipate a reversal in this recent trend of decreasing sales and return to profitability."

Summarize: Hillary Clinton’s security detail arrived at a suburban Des Moines, Iowa fruit processing company on Tuesday with an added vehicle – a second Scooby. After her signature oversize black Chevy conversion van dropped her off at Capitol Fruit Company in Norwalk, Iowa, a visually identical GMC van drove up to the building with a nearly identical Secret Service escort vehicle. Both armored vehicles have raised roofs, deep-tinted windows and New York license plates. But while the original van – the one nicknamed 'Scooby' after the Scooby-Doo cartoon show – sports a mustard-yellow New York tag, the second has blue and white plates of a different design. Scroll down for video. WHY BUY ONE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE TWO AT TWICE THE PRICE? The first picture of both of Hillary Clinton's Scooby mobiles. One is a GMC and the other is a Chevrolet, but they are mechanically identical. CONVOY: Scooby-one and Scooby-two took up positions in Hillary's motorcade on a freeway near Des Moines. BACK SEAT DRIVER? Hillary Clinton climbs into the so-called Scooby van after a campaign stop at Capital City Fruit in Norwalk, Iowa. Clinton (right), a Democratic presidential hopeful and former secretary of state, posed for selfies with fans after meeting with members of the Iowa State legislature at the State Capital on Wednesday. It’s common for U.S. Secret Service to employ 'decoy' vehicles, identical in design, in order to inject some mystery into VIPs' travel plans, if for no other reason than to confuse and discourage would-be attackers. When President Barack Obama returns to the White House after long trips, his arrival on the Marine One helicopter can be a shell-game exercise when three identical choppers appear on the horizon. Only one, of course, lands on the South Lawn. A Secret Service spokesperson said the agency does not comment on security arrangements for dignitaries. FLASHERS: 'Scooby-two' forced an Iowa motorist to leave the roadway on Wednesday so it could go through a red light and rejoin the caravan. Mrs. Clinton enjoys constant protection at taxpayers' expense because she is part of a former first family, not as a result of her service in the U.S. Senate or the State Department. But at some point during presidential campaigns, front-runner status generally attracts Secret Service as a candidate’s profile is elevated and crowd sizes swell. On Wednesday, the two Scooby vans arrived at Clinton's appointed location separately, but left together in a seven-car motorcade. UNDER GUARD: Two Secret Service agents with Scooby One in Iowa today. MOTORCADE: The Clinton convoy includes both Scooby vans and four black Suburbans, believed to all be Secret Service vehicles. It also included a white minivan on Wednesday. Scooby-Two’s driver brought up the rear, at enough of a distance to allow another car to pull in front of him. When that car stopped at a red light, the GMC van’s blue and red flashing lights came on. The stray car’s driver pulled to one side and Scooby-Two zoomed into the intersection, against the light. DECOYS: The Secret Service frequently deploys duplicates of aircraft and cars it uses to transport VIPs – including Marine One, the president's customized helicopter, which usually travels with two decoys.

Second modified, armored van spotted near Des Moines, Iowa alongside the one that Hillary Clinton travels in. Visually identical black vehicles' biggest difference is the color of their New York license plates. One is a Chevy and the other a GMC but they are mechanically identical and one was seen using Secret Service-fitted red and blue lights. Van dubbed 'Scooby' in homage to the Scooby-Doo cartoon show brought Clinton to Iowa from her New York house. 'Scooby-Two' made its debut in Norwalk, Iowa on Wednesday outside a fruit processing plant where Clinton made a scripted appearance.


Summarize: After a fire took a family's home of four years leaving them without anything, a Georgia mother of six is making a desperate plea for help. Kalimah Dixon said she was awakened by a neighbor yelling there was a fire early on Monday morning, and was lucky to get her children, aged one to 14, out of the Decatur condo safely. However, all that was left of her rented condo was a pile of rubble, and in her efforts to get her family back on their feet, she is asking for assistance. 'My children are homeless. They have nothing. They lost everything,' Dixon told Channel 2. Scroll down for video. A mother of six said her family has nothing after fire reduced their Georgia condo to a pile of rubble (above Kalimah Dixon with her five of her six children) The Dekalb County mother said the fire happened early on Monday and that she managed to get all of her children safely out (remains of the condo following the fire above) While Dixon was renting the Condo in the last four years, she had quit working to enroll full time in school to complete her degree in business management. But now she is finding it difficult to get a lease for a new permanent home  while being unemployed. As the mother of three sons and three daughters shuffles to give her kids stability, she is currently staying with a friend, far from her children's Decatur schools - where On Tuesday, Georgia students are required to take a standardized test. 'Yes, it starts Tuesday and I don't even know where I'm going to be on Monday,' said Dixon. In the last four years while Dixon rented the condo, she had quit working to enroll full time in school to complete her degree in business management. Now she said she is finding it difficult to get a lease while unemployed (pictured right and left with her children) Dixon said on Monday as the fire broke out before she knew it the whole roof had been engulfed in flames (above aftermath of the fire) Following the fire, the mother of six said: 'My children are homeless. They have nothing. They lost everything' She said in the past few days, the American Red Cross has assisted her as she searched for a place to live, but as she has looked to shelters for help, they turn her away. 'They'll take three of my children but they won't take the other three or my son is too old or they have any space at all,' Dixon told Channel 2. Dixon has since started a GoFundMe page which on Sunday had raised $4,619 in donations. Dixon has started a GoFundMe page which has raised $4,619 in donations so far. On the site she wrote: 'I'm humbly asking for assistance for me and my children we currently suffered a tremendous loss due to a fire early Monday morning. 'On top of losing everything we haven't been able to receive housing assistance rendering us homeless. 'If you could find it in you're hearts to assist it would be greatly appreciated every bit counts even prayers thank you.'

Kalimah Dixon of Georgia lost condo and belongings in fire on Monday. She said her children, aged one to 14, now have nothing. Mother of three girls and three boys said American Red Cross has helped. But, she said shelters turn the family away while she looks for place to live.


Summarize: An Australian couple who abandoned a boy born in a surrogacy deal in India were repeatedly told the child would be left stateless, new evidence shows. Documents reveal the shocking details of the case that saw a couple return to Australia with a baby girl while leaving her twin brother behind. Australian government officials had full knowledge of the startling ordeal, according to documents obtained the ABC. An Australian couple who abandoned a boy born in a surrogacy deal in India were repeatedly told the child would be left stateless, new evidence shows (stock image) The FOI documents reportedly show staff at the Australian High Commission in India and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade were aware the couple was from New South Wales, where it is illegal to enter into international surrogacy arrangements. Conversations between the Australian High Commission in New Delhi and Government officials in Canberra detail how the couple travelled to India in late 2012 and seeked citizenship for a baby girl but told consular staff they would be leaving her twin brother behind because they could not afford him. The couple reportedly told staff they wanted a baby girl to 'complete their family'. The Australian man told consulate staff he would be giving the boy to some friends in India 'who were unable to conceive a child', according to the report. The couple was told the boy would be left stateless if they followed through on plans to abandon him, because India does not recognise surrogate children as citizens. Documents reveal the shocking details of the case that saw a couple return to Australia with a baby girl while leaving her twin brother behind. 'If the parents do not apply for Australian citizenship for the child, the child will be stateless in India... our ability to provide assistance to a non Australian citizen is limited,' a DFAT email in December, 2012 said. There were also fears last year that the boy may have been sold. Chief Justice of the Family Court, Diana Bryant, said  consular staff had told her of their concerns. The FOI documents reportedly show staff at the Australian High Commission in India and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade were aware the couple was from New South Wales, where it is illegal to enter into international surrogacy arrangements. 'They expressed to me that in fact money had changed hands, and if that's true, then that's basically trafficking children,' she said. 'We're commoditising children and that's a huge concern. It's in breach of all sorts of human rights conventions – it's a criminal offence in many places.' If money was paid, any adoption would be deemed invalid under India's Hindu Adoption Act. The Indian case is similar to the recent baby Gammy case, who was born in Thailand to a surrogate mother and whose Australian parents only brought back his twin sister. The full story will be shown on ABC's Foreign Correspondent at 8pm on Tuesday.

Australian couple who abandoned baby knew they were breaking the law. Documents reveal the Australian government had knowledge of the ordeal. Couple told staff they only wanted a baby girl to 'complete their family' It was feared the abandoned boy may have been sold.


Summarize: We all need a helping hand sometimes, and nobody more so than Kecil the baby orangutan, who had a tough start to life after his natural mother and another surrogate mother rejected him. But the one-year-old ape found love at the third time of asking with second surrogate mother Maggie at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo, and has today been pictured cuddling up to the experienced mother ahead of his first public outing this weekend. Maggie, 53, who has already raised one surrogate child, has proved herself yet again by helping to raise Kecil (pronounced Ka-cheel) for the past 10 months, and the two now have an inseparable bond. Scroll down for video. Taking care: Maggie, 53, wraps a protective arm around Kecil the baby orangutan who she has been raising for the past ten months after his mother and a surrogate mother both rejected him. Inseparable: Zookeepers were nervous that Maggie might reject Kecil after raising four of her own children and another surrogate which was given to her in 2002, but she has proved her parenting prowess once again. When the pair appeared in front of news crews earlier today, Kecil began crying after losing sight of Maggie for a few moments. But the elder orangutan quickly returned, at which point Kecil quietened down and scooted over to join her, reports the Chicago Sun Times. Kecil had to be moved from his birthplace at Toledo zoo, in Ohio, 14 months ago after his natural mother failed to bond with him properly after birth. He was moved to Milwaukee County Zoo and given to a second surrogate, but she did not form a bond with him either. In a final attempt to find a parent for Kecil, he was handed over to Maggie, the oldest orangutan in North America, who has already raised four children of her own, and a fifth surrogate which was given to her in 2002. The pair immediately showed signs of intimacy, but zookeepers still faced a tense wait to see if the elderly orangutan would take on full parental duties. Nava Greenblatt, one of the zoo’s lead primate keepers, said that the turning point came when a fire alarm sounded at the zoo a few weeks ago, frightening Kecil, who ran to Maggie and cuddle up to her. Turning point: Keepers in Chicago said the turning point for Kecil came a few weeks ago when a fire alarm went off on the zoo, frightening him. Usually he turned to people for comfort, but instead he ran and cuddled up to Maggie. Big day: After settling into his new enclosure, Kecil will go on display for the first time this weekend in two hours slots between 10am and midday, allowing him to nap in the afternoons. Getting into the swing of things: Keepers said when Kecil and Maggie were first put into their new enclosure, the older ape would wander too far ahead, and Kecil would get lost, but the pair have now learned to stick close to one another. She said: 'Initially when he would be feeling insecure he would turn to people, and then there was a shift where he would turn to Maggie if he felt insecure. That was a big milestone. He really needs her to learn how to be an orangutan.' The pair will eventually become part of an exhibit featuring the zoo's four other orangutans, but at the moment they are living in isolation, as would be the case in the wild. Kecil will be on display on Saturday and Sunday at Brookfield Zoo's Tropic World Asia enclosure between 10am and midday. The other orangutans will be allowed into the enclosure around those times to help them acclimatise as well. Hanging out: The pair will eventually become part of an exhibit featuring the zoo's four other orangutans, but at the moment they are living in isolation, as would be the case in the wild. Happy monkey: Keepers said: 'On his first day out he was wide eyed and a bit amazed. He stayed close to Maggie and whimpered if she moved too far away. We saw many joyful reunions those first few days as they separated and found one another again'

Kecil the one-year-old orangutan was taken to Chicago zoo after being rejected by his mother and surrogate mother. He was eventually given to Maggie, 53, who had already raised four children of her own and another surrogate. Keepers were concerned pair might not bond, but ten months later they have formed an inseparable connection. Kecil will go on display for the first time this weekend alongside his mother, but only for two hours at a time.


Summarize: Paris Saint-Germain star Javier Pastore has dismissed Eric Cantona’s suggestion that he is the greatest footballer on the planet. Cantona, the former Manchester United forward, claimed earlier this month that Pastore is ‘the best player in the world’. But speaking ahead of his side’s second-leg tie against Barcelona in the Nou Camp, Pastore believes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are a class above him.

Speaking at the Laureus Sports Awards, Cantona had said of the Argetnine: ‘For me, the best player in the world is Javier Pastore. I watched two PSG games just to see him play and making assists. ‘He has something special. Football is an interactive game and Pastore has something that always surprises you. No special goals, no, but fantastic passes. ‘He is the most creative player in the world. I love this kind of player.’ PSG face Barcelona in the second leg of their last-eight Champions League tie on Tuesday. They must overhaul a 3-1 deficit to progress to the semi-finals.

Summarize: Campaign: Amanda Burleigh has won her battle. A midwife has won a decade-long battle to give mothers more time attached to their newborns before the umbilical cord is cut. Amanda Burleigh was convinced that clamping the cord within seconds of delivery – shutting off the blood supply from the placenta – was wrong. Since the 1950s, when doctors and midwives started giving women a hormonal injection to reduce the risk of haemorrhage, they have clamped the cord within seconds of birth. They feared the drug – since replaced with a safer substitute – could harm the baby. But Ms Burleigh, a midwife at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, believed it was unnatural to clamp the cord when it was still visibly pulsating with blood. She said: ‘One day I had a brainwave and thought, “We all clamp the cord within seconds of the baby being born, but we are doing it without any evidence about whether it’s good or bad for the baby.”' She contacted other medics, including obstetrician Dr David Hutchon, and together the group amassed evidence that stopping the blood flow so early could be harmful. One study showed immediate cord-clamping could deprive a baby of a third of its blood stock – enough to fill a medium-size wine glass. In particular, they found the practice raised the risk of iron deficiency anaemia. A tenth of all toddlers are anaemic, which is linked to delays in learning, speaking and understanding. There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies. They have finally succeeded in getting the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to change its guidelines. NICE now states that doctors and midwives should not routinely clamp the cord ‘earlier than one minute from the birth of the baby’. The cord should be clamped within five minutes, but left longer if the mother requests. Besides the medical benefits, the change means mothers get the chance to hold their babies for a moment while still connected to them. Ms Burleigh, a midwife for 26 years, said she had to overcome persistent doubts from colleagues, who asked who she was to query medical protocol. ‘There was quite a lot of resistance from both doctors and midwives,’ she said. ‘At times I felt like a whistleblower.’ There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies. However, she said she felt a ‘moral duty’ to challenge a practice that was not grounded in evidence. Dr Hutchon, now retired, said hospitals had blindly clamped and cut within seconds of birth for decades. He said: ‘We didn’t notice we were doing any harm because we were doing it to every baby.’ He became interested in 2003 after hearing that more premature babies survived when the cord was not cut early. But he said there was ‘continual resistance to change’ – with some doctors refusing delayed cord-clamping even today. Some still believed the theory that immediate clamping reduced the risk of mothers haemorrhaging, Dr Hutchon said, even though a 2013 study found it made no difference. Ms Burleigh, recently named Midwife of the Year by the British Journal Of Midwifery, added: ‘In 20 or 30 years I think we will look back on immediate cord-clamping and think, “What were we doing? We dropped an absolute clanger."' A spokesman for NICE said that its advice on care during childbirth was reviewed ‘at regular intervals’.

Amanda Burleigh was convinced clamping cord immediately was wrong. Contacted other medics and they amassed evidence it could be harmful. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines have changed. Cord shouldn't be routinely clamped ‘earlier than one minute from the birth'


Summarize: Francois Hollande has vowed to 'show no mercy' if French peacekeepers are found guilty of sexual assaulting starving children in the Central African Republic. Fourteen soldiers dispatched to restore order after a 2013 coup have been accused of abusing children as young as nine as they begged for something to eat, according to a French judicial source. The investigation has been underway since last year but was only made public yesterday. The French president today said: 'If some soldiers have behaved badly, I will show no mercy.' President Francois Hollande has vowed to 'show no mercy' if French peacekeepers in Central African Republic are found guilty of raping hungry children in exchange for food. The French defence ministry has vehemently denied covering up the scandal following revelations it was made aware of the allegations in July last year when it received a leaked UN report on the subject. The ministry said it immediately launched a probe into the case when it received the news, sending investigators to the former French colony on August 1. A defence ministry spokesman urged 'great caution' because the accusations have not yet been proven, adding: 'There is no desire to hide anything. 'We are not hiding the facts, we are trying to verify the facts.' The abuse reportedly took place at a centre for displaced people near Bangui airport between December 2013  and June 2014. Paula Donovan, co-director of advocacy group AIDS-Free World, saw the report. A French soldier taking part in 'Operation Sangaris' stands guard  at the Boali church as people sit on the floor. She said: 'The children were saying that they were hungry and they thought that they could get some food from the soldiers. 'The answer was "if you do this, then I will give you food".' Of the six children testifying against the soldiers, four say they were direct victims of sexual abuse while two others witnessed it, the French judicial source revealed. The UN employee accused of the leak, Anders Kompass, turned the report over to French authorities because his bosses had failed to take action and has since been suspended, The Guardian reported. A UN spokesman confirmed  investigators had conducted a probe last year following 'serious allegations' of child abuse and sexual exploitation by French troops. French soldiers prepare to blow up captured weapons and explosive devices in Bangui on December 4, 2014. French soldiers patrol in a tank in Bangui amid dust as citizens go about their daily business. They added that an unnamed staff member had been suspended for leaking the report. Florent Geel, head of the Africa desk at the International Federation for Human Rights, said Kompass likely leaked the report because those accused are French. He said: 'When it involves Chad, there is never any follow-up. But here it involves France, where there is an independent judicial system, it could move things on.' The violence in the Central African Republic has largely pitted the Christian majority against mainly Muslim Seleka rebels who led the March 2013 coup against former leader Francois Bozize. The country has yet to react officially, but a government member who wished to remain anonymous said that if true, the allegations were 'horrible and unacceptable'. 'French soldiers cannot behave like this in a country where they came to help civilians,' they added.

14 soldiers have been accused of abusing children as young as nine. Investigation was started last year but was only made public yesterday. French defence ministry has denied covering up the scandal.


Summarize: A shocking 'resurrection ceremony' for a  two-year-old dead boy at a Texas church has been caught on camera. In the clip capturing the attempted resurrection, the boy identified by a witness as Benjamin, is being held in the arms of Texas pastor's wife Aracely Meza as others, including a man who appears to be her husband Pastor Daniel Meza, are gathered around. The witness, who said she knew Benjamin's mother since she was pregnant with him, said the child was possessed by demons, according to pastors. A shocking 'resurrection ceremony' for a two-year-old dead boy at a Texas church has been caught on camera. Aracely Meza, who is reportedly not the child's mother, was arrested on Monday and has been charged with injury to a child by omission, said police (above Meza in the video) In the video, Aracely Meza is seen next to a man who appears to be her husband Pastor Daniel Meza, as she uses oils and prays while trying to bring the boy, identified by a witness as Benjamin, back to life (above scenes from the attempted resurrection) Aracely Meza (above), has been arrested in the case involving an attempt to resurrect a two-year-old boy at a home operating also as a church. She also said he went 25 days without food before he died. In the footage, Meza apparently uses oils to try and bring him back to life while also praying and speaking in tongues during the 'rising ceremony' lasting for hours. She also invokes Jesus to give life to the child. Meza, who is reportedly not the child's mother, was taken into custody on Monday and Balch Springs police said she has been charged with injury to a child by omission, according to NBCDFW. She is currently being held on a $100,000 bond, a police spokesman told Daily Mail Online, and more information will be available on Tuesday. Police went to a home on March 26 in Balch Springs to do a welfare check and were told by residents that a two-year-old child had died and a 'rising ceremony' was performed, according to CBS. A report from earlier this month said that services took place at the residence on Duke Drive which also operated as Iglesia Internacional Jesus es el Rey Church with services presided by Daniel and Aracely Meza (both pictured above) The ceremony held at the residence on Duke Drive was an attempt to resurrect the child, police claimed, and took place on March 22. Meza and her husband are pastors who presided over the church services held at the residence  and also lives there along with other families including that of the two-year-old boy, according to WFAA. In a report earlier this month, neighbors told WFAA that cars would fill the street for services, presided by the Mezas, but that no one knew what was happening inside of the home operating also as Iglesia Internacional Jesus es el Rey Church. 'When it was church hours they would set it up as a church, then when it was over, back to a home,' neighbor Bryan Cruz told WFAA who grew up with the children in the home. A witness said  Benjamin was possessed by demons, according to pastors. She also said he had went 25 days without food before he died. Members of the Igelisa Internacional Jesus es el Rey Church re-enact a scene from the crucifixion which on Facebook was titled as 'Drama Crucifixion & Resurrección Pascua 2014' The home was not registered or zoned to operate as a church, code inspectors for the city said, however its website states the national headquarters are at the home's address. In an earlier report, Lt Mark Maret told CBS: 'We don't know if this was to try and resurrect the spirit of the child and we don't know if this was to try and resurrect the child themselves or what exactly that service or ceremony encompasses.' Unconfirmed reports have suggested that the two-year-old boy, whose name is unknown and who neighbors had not seen, may have died either of starvation or of a fall from a chair. Emergency services do not appear to have called until police received an anonymous tip four days later. Police said there is no record of the child’s death being reported. The child's parents took the body to Mexico the following day. Two phone numbers for the single-story home were disconnected. Police went to a home on March 26 in Balch Springs, Texas, (pictured) to do a wellness check and were told that a two-year-old child had died and the body returned to Mexico. Police were now investigating. A neighbor told Daily Mail Online earlier this month that five children under the age of ten, both boys and girls, were also living at the home and had been taken away by Child Protective Services. Joy Donaldson said that she once complained to the woman who lived at the home about two of the boys, who had been bothering her dogs. The woman, whose name she did not know, told her that the children did not know any better 'because they had been taken off the streets of Mexico'. A second neighbor, Jean Turnipseed, told Daily Mail Online that she had heard  that church services were taking place at the home on Saturdays and Sunday nights, where people were being charged at the door. An investigation is underway involving both state and federal authorities.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT. Aracely Meza, who is not the child's mother, was arrested on Monday. She is the wife of Pastor Daniel Meza who presided over church services held at a Balch Springs, Texas residence where ceremony occurred. Aracely Meza has been charged with injury to a child by omission. Witness identified child as Benjamin who said pastors said he was possessed by demons; he also went 25 days without food before he died. Police went to the home on March 26 to do a welfare check and were told by residents that a two-year-old child had died. March 22 ceremony was an attempt to resurrect the child, police claimed.


Summarize: Crucible thoroughbreds John Higgins and Graeme Dott led the Scottish charge on Sunday at the Betfred World Championship. Four-time winner Higgins impressed with a 10-5 first-round victory over Robert Milkins, and looked to be approaching the form that last saw him take the title four years ago. The 39-year-old fired breaks of 77, 75, 69 and a clinching 106 in the second session as he coasted home against Gloucester potter Milkins, who took the match beyond its evening interval but was thoroughly outplayed. John Higgins plays a shot during his match against Robert Milkins during the Betfred World Championships. Milkins said of his conqueror: 'It's going to take a good man to beat him on that form. 'He's playing really good stuff. I think I did well to get five frames.' Dott, unseeded this year but a proven Crucible class act and champion in 2006, was a 10-8 winner earlier as he ousted Ricky Walden. Higgins has sprung back to competitive form level this year, notably in taking the Welsh Open title in February to end a two-and-a-half-year major trophy drought. He had openly expressed fears his days as a winner were over, but Higgins is daring to dream of a fifth world title. He said: 'I'm feeling relief and pride to beat Robert because he's a dangerous player. I knew I'd lost my last four matches to him. 'I thought I hit the ball well. I missed a few but I felt good in amongst them.' Asked directly whether he was a potential champion, Higgins initially said: 'Nah. There's more and more contenders out there. I probably know what it takes to win it but there's more favoured players than me.' But the desire is there, and unmistakably he does have one eye on the trophy. Higgins added: 'It would be amazing if I could win it and go level with somebody like Ronnie O'Sullivan on five titles. That would be beyond my wildest dreams. The fire is still there. 'I've had a few sleepless nights thinking I'd never get back into the winners' circle. Luckily it happened at the Welsh Open and that's given me a bit of a boost. 'You doubt yourself definitely, especially in dark times, but now hopefully there's some good times. 'Just to win this again would be incredible. Ronnie has probably outstripped me, winning more tournaments and making more century breaks, and he's obviously chasing Stephen Hendry's records.
