Question: Mae pryder nad yw teuluoedd yn cael yr hawl i herio casgliadau adroddiadau sy'n cael eu cynnal ar ôl i blentyn farw neu gael ei anafu'n ddifrifol wedi esgeulustod neu gamdriniaeth.

Daw hyn ar ôl i'r Comisiynydd Plant, Sally Holland glywed profiadau nifer sydd wedi cysylltu â'i swyddfa - yn eu plith Nick Smith o Lanllyfni, Dyffryn Nantlle, tad bachgen dwyflwydd fu farw wrth law ei fam yn 2010.
Roedd Melanie Stevens, cyn-bartner Nick Smith wedi mygu Izaak, a'i hanner brawd, Phillip, yn eu cartref yn Nhrawsfynydd, cyn lladd ei hun ddyddiau cyn y Nadolig.
Mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n dweud bod barn y teulu'n bwysig iawn yn y broses o gynnal Adolygiad Ymarfer Plant, a bod datblygu hyfforddiant i'r byrddau sy'n cynnal adolygiadau yn parhau.
Pwrpas Adolygiad Ymarfer Plant yw ymchwilio i waith asiantaethau statudol mewn achosion o'r fath, a dysgu gwersi er mwyn atal trychinebau yn y dyfodol.
Ond mewn llythyr at Lywodraeth Cymru, mae'r  Comisiynydd yn galw am newid y drefn er mwyn galluogi teuluoedd i herio canfyddiadau'r adroddiad, neu gyfrannu at eiriad y ddogfen a'i argymhellion.
Roedd Melanie Stevens a Nick Smith wedi gwahanu ac yn anghydweld am ofal Izaak.
Lladdodd ei hun a'i phlant ar y diwrnod roedd Mr Smith i fod i gasglu Izaak er mwyn iddo dreulio'r noson gydag e am y tro cyntaf.
Dywedodd: "Doeddwn i ddim yn synnu. Roedd yn sioc enfawr, ges i fy nhrawmateiddio, roedd fy mywyd wedi newid am byth, ond allai ddim dweud fy mod yn synnu."
Yn Hydref 2011, bu Adolygiad Annibynnol Achos Difrifol i farwolaeth y bechgyn gan Fwrdd Diogelu Plant Gwynedd a Môn.
Roedd asiantaethau'n cynnwys gwasanaethau cymdeithasol ac iechyd, yr awdurdod lleol a'r corff sy'n gwarchod plant, Cafcass Cymru wedi ymwneud â'r teulu dros sawl blwyddyn.
Daeth yr adroddiad i'r casgliad mai ychydig y gellid fod wedi'i wneud i arbed eu bywydau ac mai'r unig ffordd o amddiffyn Izaak a Phillip fyddai eu tynnu o ofal eu mam, ond nid oedd sail dros wneud hynny.
Ond mae Mr Smith yn credu y dylid fod wedi gwneud mwy.
Roedd eisoes wedi codi pryderon gyda'r awdurdodau am iechyd meddwl Ms Stevens ar ôl iddi fygwth niweidio'i hun a Phillip, a gofynnodd i'r gwasanaethau cymdeithasol gynnal cyfarfod penodol i'r teulu.
Chafodd dim ei wneud.
Mae'r adroddiad yn cydnabod nad oedd pryderon Mr Smith wedi eu cymryd yn ddigon difrifol, a thynnodd sylw at nifer o wersi i'w dysgu.
Cafodd 10 argymhelliad eu cyflwyno er mwyn gwella'r ffordd roedd yr asiantaethau'n cydweithio.
Un o'r rhai fu'n cynorthwyo Mr Smith oedd Alun Ffred Jones, cyn aelod cynulliad Arfon a chadeirydd presennol Plaid Cymru.
Dywedodd ei fod wedi ysgrifennu at y cyn ddirprwy weinidog Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol, Gwenda Thomas am bryderon Mr Smith ynglyn â chanfyddiadau'r adolygiad.
"Mae'n amlwg bod 'na wendidau sylfaenol achos yr atgof sy' gen i o'r ymatebion gafon ni oedd bod pob drws jyst yn cau," meddai.
"'Na, Na, Na' gan bobl dwi'n 'nabod a dwi wedi parchu - ond dyna oedd y drefn."
"Mi ofynnes i'r gweinidog ar y pryd wrth gwrs i ymyrryd ac mi ddywedodd hi nad oedd ganddi ddim hawl i ymyrryd - ond nonsens 'di hynny, dyna oedd yn amlwg y feddylfryd o fewn y gwasanaethau."
Mae Mr Jones yn galw ar Lywodraeth Cymru i fod yn fwy "agored" a "thryloyw" a "rhoi mwy o hawliau" i'r teuluoedd sydd wedi eu heffeithio, a gwneud hynny ar "fyrder".
"Mewn achosion eithriadol o ddifrifol 'efo canlyniadau erchyll fel yr achos yma fydde chi'n disgwyl mwy o hyblygrwydd a fydde chi'n disgwyl y fydde'r drefn sydd wedi ei sefydlu gan y llywodraeth yn caniatáu'r hyblygrwydd yna ac i rywun sydd yn sefyllfa Nick i o leia' allu cael y wybodaeth gyflawn a gallu o leia' trafod yr hyn ddigwyddodd i weld a oedd hynny'n briodol er mwyn dysgu gwersi."
Yn 2013 cafodd y broses o gynnal Adolygiadau Achosion Difrifol eu disodli gan Adolygiadau Ymarfer Plant ond yn ôl Sally Holland dydy'r system newydd ddim yn caniatáu atebolrwydd.
"Dwi am weld teuluoedd yn rhan o'r broses adolygu, yn aml nhw fydd yn cynrychioli llais y plentyn felly mae'n bwysig bod y broses yma'n un sensitif a bod y teuluoedd yma'n teimlo bod eu lleisiau'n cael eu clywed," meddai.
"Dydw i ddim wedi gweld unrhyw welliannau yn yr amser mae'n cymryd i gyflawni'r adolygiadau yma a does dim unrhyw fodd o gwyno neu godi pryder os yw'r adolygiad yn cymryd yn hirach na chwe mis - hyd adolygiad arferol."
Mae hi hefyd yn poeni nad ydy'r byrddau - sy'n gyfrifol am gynnal yr Adolygiadau Ymarfer Plant - yn atebol i unrhyw un neu unrhyw gorff arall.
Un awgrym gan Sally Holland oedd y gallai Ombwdsmon Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Cymru edrych ar gwynion yn erbyn y byrddau.
Doedd yr ombwdsmon, Nick Bennett ddim wedi gallu cynorthwyo Mr Smith pan gysylltodd â'i swyddfa gan nad oedd rheolaeth ganddo dros y byrddau.
Mae'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol wrthi'n ystyried ymestyn pwerau'r ombwdsmon.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Bwrdd Diogelu Gogledd Cymru nad oedd am wneud sylw am yr achos "gan mai corff arall...oedd yn gyfrifol amdano".
Ond mae'r bwrdd yn dweud bod y fframwaith newydd ar gyfer adolygu achosion o'r fath yn gwella atebolrwydd yr holl asiantaethau dan sylw.

Ers Ebrill eleni mae'n rhaid i'r plismyn gofnodi manylion bob tro y maen nhw'n defnyddio gefynnau, nwy CS neu ddefnyddio baton.
Mae'r broses yn "hynod fiwrocrataidd" ac fel " sgwennu traethawd arholiad" yn ôl un o swyddogion Ffederasiwn yr Heddlu.
Dywedodd John Apter, Cadeirydd Ffederasiwn yr Heddlu yn Hampshire ei fod yn deall yr angen i gasglu gwybodaeth am y defnydd o rym, ond mynnodd bod y broses y rhy gymhleth ac yn cymryd gormod o amser ar adeg pan mae 'na bwysau mawr ar adnoddau'r heddlu.
Awgrymodd y gallai plismyn mewn ardaloedd poblog fel Llundain orfod llenwi hyd at chwech o'r dogfennau ar ddiwedd shifft brysur.
Mae Mr Apter yn credu y byddai'n fwy ymarferol i gasglu'r wybodaeth trwy gymryd samplau o lyfrau nodiadau'r swyddogion.
Cafodd y ffurflenni eu beirniadu hefyd gan Jan Berry, cyn-gadeirydd Fferderasiwn yr Heddlu fu'n gweithio gyda'r Swyddfa Gartref i leihau biwrocratiaeth a baich gweinyddol plismyn.
"Does 'na ddim rheswm dros eu cyflwyno. Rwy'n digalonni ac yn credu ein bod yn cymryd cam mawr yn ôl" meddai mewn cyfweliad ar raglen Today, BBC Radio 4.
Dywedodd bod y wybodaeth eisioes yn cael ei chasglu gan blismyn pan mae unigolion yn cael eu cymryd i'r ddalfa.
Bydd lluoedd ar hyd a lled Cymru a Lloegr yn dechrau cyhoeddi'r wybodaeth sydd wedi ei chasglu yn yr wythnosau nesaf.
Mae'r Swyddfa Gartref wedi amddiffyn y ffurflen gan ddweud y bydd y wybodaeth yn helpu heddluoedd i ddangos pa mor dryloyw y maen nhw yn gweithredu.

Question: The UK's biggest bank, HSBC, plans to impose a global freeze on pay and hiring in 2016, sources have said.

An email was sent to staff on Friday outlining the measures as part of the bank's cost-cutting drive.
A source confirmed the email's contents to the BBC after it was first reported by Reuters.
"As flagged in our investor update we have targeted significant cost reductions by the end of 2017," they said.
In June, London-based HSBC outlined to investors that it would slash $5bn (Â£3.5bn) in costs by 2017.
The bank said at the time that it planned to cut 8,000 of its 48,000 workforce in the UK, and axe 25,000 jobs globally. The UK workforce has since gone down to 45,000.
HSBC also said in June that it would shrink its investment bank by a third in response to sluggish economic growth and tighter global regulation of banking risk.
The banking giant is also considering moving its global headquarters away from London.
Meanwhile, HSBC said its UK internet and mobile banking services had "fully recovered" late on Friday after suffering a cyber attack.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary:

About $3bn being raised in the rights issue will cover the bank's turnaround costs.
The restructuring was announced as the bank reported a "disappointing" third-quarter pre-tax loss of $139m for the three months to September.
That compared with a profit of $1.5bn for the same period last year.
Shares in Standard Chartered fell as much as 10% on Tuesday and were down 7% at 663.5p in late trading. The stock has fallen more than 30% this year.
Revenue fell 18.4% to $3.68bn and losses on bad loans almost doubled to $1.23bn for the quarter.
Analysts at Investec analysts described news the loss as "awful" given the expectation of a $903m profit, adding: "the worst aspect ... is a broad-based collapse in revenues".
There was further bad news as Standard Chartered said it was the subject of two investigations by the Financial Conduct Authority relating to monitoring of sanctions and anti-money laundering compliance.
The job cuts are part of a restructuring programme to take place over the next three years, but gave no details. The bank employs 86,000 people worldwide, but only about 1,800 in the UK.
Bill Winters announced a strategic review of Standard Chartered when he took over as chief executive in June.
He put a new management team in place the following month and eliminated 1,000 senior management roles.
Analysts had been expecting the bank to seek additional capital to shore up its balance sheet and Mr Winters acknowledged the challenging business environment facing the bank.
"This is ... an aggressive and decisive set of actions to fundamentally shore up the underpinnings of the bank," he said on a conference call.
"We've tried to achieve a very high level of capitalisation to buffer ourselves against eventualities and we think we are very well capitalised to deal with any of the challenges that could come our way," Mr Winters added.
The bank was co-operating fully with the two FCA investigations, the chief executive said.
Standard Chartered remains under investigation by US authorities related to transactions involving Iranian clients.
The bank was fined $667m in 2012 by US authorities to settle charges that it violated US sanctions by handling thousands of money transactions involving Iran, Myanmar, Libya and Sudan; and paid another $300m in August last year for failing to detect possible money-laundering.
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, told Radio 4's Today programme that banks were being compelled to have bigger buffers to withstand future fiscal shocks - especially in Asia where banks such as Standard Chartered and HSBC were particularly exposed.
His concern was that Standard Chartered was "way behind the curve" on cutting costs.
At the bottom of page 8 of the voluminous slide pack presentation offered to investors this morning by Standard Chartered is this telling sentence: "The Bank of England will publish the results of its 2015 stress tests on 1 December, including the results for the group, the outcome of which is unknown to the company and not yet finalised."
The Bank's work is focused on what could happen in the event of a significant collapse in the Chinese economy and a subsequent global downturn.
Its effect will be most acute on the UK's two banks most focused on the Asian market: HSBC and Standard Chartered.
Bill Winters, the Standard Chartered chief executive, appears keen to get his capital raising punch in first. He has also made it clear he wants Standard Chartered to compete on international renminbi trading, which the bank believes will become a reserve currency up against the US dollar.
Mr Winters has moved before the Bank of England sticks its weighty oar in.
Growing regulatory costs and controls in the wake of the financial crisis have weighed on big lenders in the UK, US and Australia.
Standard Chartered has already shed some businesses, in Hong Kong, China and Korea, to help improve its capital position.
Among the plans announced on Tuesday, Standard Chartered said it would invest more than $1bn to reposition its retail banking, private banking and wealth management businesses, as well as upgrade its Africa franchise and yuan services.
The rights issue had the backing of Temasek, Singapore's state investment firm and Standard Chartered's largest shareholder.
Hugh Young, managing director at Aberdeen Asset Management, the bank's second-biggest shareholder, said: "[There is] still a lot of hard work to put in but the path is clear."
The rights issue, Standard Chartered's first since 2010, will be launched on Tuesday at a price of 465p a share - a 35% discount to its closing price on Monday. Two new shares will be issued for every seven existing shares.
The bank has also axed the final dividend for this year to conserve cash.

Question: Dylan Hartley's disciplinary record should not prevent him being appointed England captain, according to the head of English rugby Ian Ritchie.

represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

The Northampton hooker is expected to be named skipper by new head coach Eddie Jones on Monday.
Hartley has been banned for over a year in total during his career.
But Rugby Football Union chief executive Ritchie said he had "paid the penalty", adding "I don't think it precludes him [from being captain]".
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Ritchie added: "It is primarily a matter for the head coach, and I'm not going to hinder that in any way.
"It's a matter of balance and perspective, and Dylan I'm sure brings many positives as well to the set-up."
Ritchie confirmed the RFU is monitoring the case of young flanker Sam Underhill, who plays for Welsh region Ospreys.
The 19-year-old is English and is on the radar of England boss Jones, but is ineligible to be picked for his country while playing outside the English Premiership.
Underhill - who has captained England at Under-18 level - is studying at Cardiff University and is contracted to Bridgend and the Ospreys.
However, Ritchie says Underhill's case may be viewed differently to the likes of those who play in France, and that he may be treated as a special case given his age.
"I think we need to look at that, and we are having some discussions about that," Ritchie added.
"We want to keep people who have played in our age-grade teams, as he has. We maybe need to look at whether it is different for elite squads compared to development squads."
Ritchie says French club Toulon's bid to join the Premiership is a "long shot".
The Toulon president Mourad Boudjelall has written to Premiership Rugby this week about the prospect.
The RFU council would have to approve any change to England's elite competition, and Ritchie believes there are numerous obstacles in Toulon's way.
"I think it's a challenging proposition," Ritchie said.
"I would think it's a long shot, but having said that it's for others to discuss as well, and we've not really sat down and had a proper, considered conversation about it yet.
"But in some ways it's interesting Mr Boudjellal thinks that playing rugby in England is good for Toulon, so we should look at that as a positive."
Despite England's disappointing performance at the World Cup, the RFU says it is on course to meet legacy targets.
Early evidence shows participation is increasing, including 8,000 adults returning to the game during and after the tournament, and the RFU has launched programmes to get more schools and clubs playing the sport, and will also provide 100 new artificial pitches across the country.
"We really are trying to use the opportunity the Rugby World Cup gave us to grow the profile of the game - and participation in the game - across the country. The hard work has started for us now as we try and maximise the opportunity," said the RFU's rugby development director Steve Grainger.

The forward fell to the floor after an attempted tackle on flanker Dave Ward in Saturday's loss at Harlequins but played on for the rest of the game.
The Concussion Management Review Group (CMRG), who met to discuss the recent George North head knock, will convene to review the incident.
An update will be given on 20 January.
The 27-year-old Samoan was not treated on the field after the incident in the 30th minute, but has not been named in the team that travels to Toulon in the Champions Cup on Sunday.
The CMRG panel will be chaired by Dr Julian Morris and includes the Rugby Football Union's director of professional rugby Nigel Melville and Premiership rugby director Phil Winstanley.

The team worked in three communities, Cenotillo, Hoctun and Tunkas, all not far from Merida, the state capital of Yucatan. Over the past two decades, residents have seen a significant number of the population cross the border to the US, many never to return.
The group was led by volunteer organisation Ubelong's co-founder Raul Roman and former New York Times photojournalist Lonnie Schlein, and comprises portraits of those affected by the migration. These images are on show at the Cervantes Institute in New York.

Question: A Syrian internet freedom activist was executed soon after he disappeared from prison in late 2015, his wife and supporters say they have learned.

Bassel Khartabil's wife said he was killed in October 2015 after receiving a death sentence.
"Words are difficult to come by," she wrote. "Thank you for killing my lover."
The Wikipedia contributor and founder of Creative Commons Syria was first detained in March 2012.
After nine months of incommunicado detention, he was moved to Adra prison in Damascus, where his family were allowed to visit him.
But he was moved from the prison to an unknown destination in October 2015, and supporters had until now held out hope he might be alive.
Soon after his disappearance in 2015, his wife Noura Ghazi Safadi said she did not know if he was alive or dead.
But she said she had been contacted by self-declared Syrian government insiders who told her that he had been sentenced to death.
Bassel Khartabil, a Syrian-Palestinian, was named a Top Global Thinker by Foreign Policy magazine in 2012 and given the Digital Freedom Award by Index on Censorship in 2013.
In 2013, he was described by two European parliamentarians as being "credited with opening up the internet in Syria - a country with a notorious record of online censorship - and vastly extending online access and knowledge to the Syrian people".
Noura Ghazi Safadi described her husband as "unbelievably romantic" in a 2015 interview with the Electronic Intifada news website, adding that he "wasn't a typical internet geek".
"He used to give me a red rose every day since we became lovers until the day of his imprisonment," she said.
Khartabil, an open source web developer, had co-founded the #NewPalmyra project, which creates digitally reconstructions of the ancient Syrian city.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales said on Twitter that he was "saddened and outraged in equal measure" to learn of the execution.

However Rami Jarrah said in his post that his detention appeared to be related to his work in Syria.
His arrest caused concern among media groups, who called for his release.
Jarrah - who met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in January - was held in the city of Gaziantep.
He was reported to be applying for a residence permit at the time.
"The location I was transferred to late Wednesday evening contained prisoners that were all held under the same suspicion of being terrorist elements, all have not been charged and some have been there for up to nine months after having being declared innocent by a court of law," Mr Jarrah said in his Facebook post.
"It disturbs me that I was placed in this situation given my background and obvious distance from such an accusation."
The reporter said that while he understood "the pressure the Turkish government is under" and the responsibility it has to prevent terrorism, a little more research by the authorities would have prevented unnecessary hardship.
The Committee to Protect Journalists said at the time of his arrest that Syrian journalists should be protected rather than detained.
Jarrah founded the independent citizen journalist group Ana Press, providing reports to international media, after leaving Syria.
He was initially held in a detention facility for foreign citizens, but was moved to a different facility on Thursday, the CPJ said.
Supporters say Jarrah is well known for his independent reporting, often carried out at great personal risk.
Jarrah, who was brought up in the UK, fled Syria with his wife and child in 2011, fearing that he was in danger, but continued to go back to report.

Question: California has put limits on flying drones, in an effort to stop paparazzi photographers from snapping photos of celebrities from afar.

The law expands the state's definition of invasion of privacy to include sending a drone over private property to make a recording or take photos.
Singer Miley Cyrus filmed a paparazzi drone flying above her home last year.
Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill on Tuesday, but has rejected other recently proposed drone regulations.
Another bill would have made flying drones over wildfires illegal.
Drones have been blamed for interfering with recent fire-fighting efforts as the state has experienced massive wildfires.
Governor Brown vetoed the regulations because they would create new crimes and complicate the legal process.

William Meredith, from Hillview, Kentucky, was subsequently arrested by police.
According to local media, he was arrested and charged with first degree criminal mischief and first degree wanton endangerment.
Mr Meredith told the BBC that he fired three shots at the drone before it crashed in the woods behind his house.
On Sunday, Mr Meredith's daughters came in from the back garden to tell their father that they had spotted a drone flying overhead.
Mr Meredith explained that the drone was hovering above his neighbourhood. When it moved over his property, he shot it down.
Three shots from his Benelli short-barrel shotgun took the craft out of the sky.
"I went to my safe, retrieved my shotgun, went back out," he said. "I felt that I was well within my rights as an American citizen to defend my property."
He explained that he was concerned that the drone was invading his privacy and that of his daughters and that it was not the first time a drone had been sighted in the area.
Four men, including the owner of the downed drone, later confronted Mr Meredith outside his house.
"They were pretty upset, there were some words exchanged and they started towards me," he said.
At that point, Mr Meredith explained that he felt he had the right to defend himself and made the men aware that he was armed.
"My gun was holstered on my belt and never came out, I never brandished the gun, never pulled it out or waved it around, anything like that," he said.
Police in Hillview arrested Mr Meredith and charged him with offences relating to the discharge of a firearm.
This is far from being the first time that US home-owners have taken to warding off small drones with guns.
Just this week, a court in California ruled in favour of a drone-owner who sued a man who shot his hexacopter.
But the law isn't always in favour of drone pilots.
Over the weekend, Californian officials agreed to offer a total of $75,000 (Â£48,000) in rewards for information that would help catch drone operators who flew their vehicles over recent wildfires in San Bernardino County.
The flight of hobbyists' drones near to wildfires caused firefighting aircraft to be grounded for safety reasons, leading to the faster spread of the fires.
District attorney Mike Ramos said in a statement: "We want to know who was flying drones, and we want them punished.
"Someone knows who they are, and there is $75,000 waiting for them."

This magnified image of a baby Hawaiian bobtail squid - which has a light organ on its backside that houses a colony of glowing bacteria - is one of the finalists in the 2017 Wellcome Image Awards.
The squid - which measures only 1.5 cm across - provides food and shelter for the bacteria in return for their bioluminescence. The glow is similar to moonlight and starlight, and helps mask its silhouette in the Pacific Ocean - reducing the risk of predator attacks from below.
This is the 20th annual Wellcome Image Awards which celebrates colourful and captivating scientific images - from photography and illustration, to super-resolution microscopy and medical scans.

Stickman, The Vicissitudes of Crohn's (Resolution) - Overall Winner 2017
Spooky Pooka
This character "Stickman" is the alter ego of the artist who suffers from Crohn's disease - a chronic condition caused by inflammation of the digestive system.
The skeleton is made of sticks rather than bones - to show the body's fragility to a flare up.
Judge's comment:
"This image is a stunning representation of what it must be like to have Crohn's disease and it's like nothing I've seen before in terms of the portrayal of someone's condition.
"It conveys the pain and torment the sufferer must go through. The image really resonates and is beautifully composed. It's a haunting piece."
Fergus Walsh, BBC Medical Correspondent
Intraocular lens 'iris clip'
Mark Bartley, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
This image shows how an "iris clip" - also known as an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) - has been fitted on to the eye of a 70-year-old man with a 3mm surgical incision.
It is used to treat conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness) and cataracts (cloudiness of the lens). The patient regained almost full vision following his surgery.
Judge's comment:
"I think this picture is absolutely stunning in its clarity. I am sure I will be using it frequently to demonstrate to my patients the intricacies of ocular lens implants."
Dirk Pilat, Medical Director for e-Learning at the Royal College of General Practitioners and a GP in Essex
#breastcancer Twitter connections
Eric Clarke, Richard Arnett and Jane Burns, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
This is a graphical visualisation of data extracted from tweets containing the hashtag #breastcancer.
Twitter users are represented by the dots, or nodes, and lines connecting the nodes represent the relationships between the Twitter users.
Nodes and lines are sized differently according to the number and importance of other nodes to which they are connected.
Judge's comment:
"A beautiful starburst of pointillist coloured nodes, a complex representation of convergent energies, the image visualizes a topic so important to discuss today."
Rob Kesseler, visual artist, professor at Central Saint Martins and Chair of Arts, Design and Science at the University of the Arts London
Blood vessels of the African grey parrot
Scott Birch and Scott Echols
This image shows a 3D reconstruction of the head and neck of a dead African grey parrot - with a highly intricate system of blood vessels.
Judge's comment:
"This wonderfully detailed image, mapping blood vessels in 3D, succeeds in being both beautiful and informative. The ghosted outline of the bird's head and neck provides context."
Alice Roberts, Professor of Public Engagement in Science at the University of Birmingham and a clinical anatomist, author and broadcaster
Pigeon thermoregulation
Scott Echols, Scarlet Imaging and the Grey Parrot Anatomy Project
This image shows the intricate network of blood vessels in the neck and head of a pigeon - down to capillary level.
All animals possess unique variations in their anatomy that help them adapt to their environment - and this extensive blood supply just below the skin helps the bird control its body temperature through a process known as thermoregulation.
Judge's comment:
"The amazing quality of this image shows how complex and dense the network of blood vessels is, and its seemingly angry squawk at the viewer makes it really eye catching."
Catherine Draycott, Head of Wellcome Images
Cat skin and blood supply
David Linstead
This polarised light micrograph of a section of cat skin shows the blood supply feeding hairs and whiskers.
Blood vessels were injected with a dye (here shown as black) to visualise the capillaries in the tissue.
It is a composite view of a Victorian microscope slide, and is made up of 44 individual images stitched together.
Judge's comment:
"At first glance it could be a painting of a tiny underwater creature, or some weird fairytale monster. But the fact that this is a cat's whisker is a real surprise.
"This image just highlights to me amazing details that exist in even the simplest organic structures, a product of millions of years of evolution right there in front of us."

Rita Levi-Montalcini
Daria Kirpach / Salzman International
This work of art depicts Rita Levi-Montalcini (1909-2012) - an Italian neurobiologist.
She was the joint recipient of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of nerve growth factor (NGF) - which has increased the understanding of many conditions, including tumours, developmental malformations and dementia.
For her early work in Italy, Levi-Montalcini built a small laboratory in her family home and worked in secret because of Mussolini's 1938 Manifesto of Race, which barred non-Aryan citizens from having academic careers.
Judge's comment:
"The striking colours reflect the courage of this Nobel prize-winning scientist, and the details reveal the way she had to conceal her work from the fascist powers during the war."

Surface of a mouse retina
Gabriel Luna, Neuroscience Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara
This digital image of a mouse retina, at the back of the eye, contains light-sensitive cells responsible for converting light into electrical nerve signals that the brain can process.
Blood vessels (blue) can be seen radiating from the centre of the image - with astrocytes, specialist cells of the nervous system, double stained in red and green.
Here, scientists are researching whether the function of astrocytes changes during retinal degeneration, which may lead to the development of new treatments for vision loss.
Judge's comment:
"An extraordinary montage of over 400 tiled images showing in incredible detail the intricate filigree pattern of astrocytes in the tiny retina of a mouse."

MicroRNA scaffold cancer therapy
Joao Conde, Nuria Oliva and Natalie Artzi, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The problem with conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy is their non-specificity, and the side-effects they cause. But the hope is that this mesh can be used as a cancer therapy through surgical insertion around a tumour.
The image shows how a synthetic polymer (purple) has been combined with two types of miRNA, in red, which are short genetic sequences responsible for controlling cell growth. The miRNA molecules can be released locally into cancer cells to stop them dividing.
This therapy has already been tested on mice, where tumours have shrunk by nearly 90 per cent after just two weeks.
Judge's comments:
"At first glance, this image made me think of a futuristic, sci-fi movie in which a normally-invisible technological wonder ends up saving the world. The possibility of using RNA as a therapeutic biomaterial delivered by a clever engineering approach opens up new opportunities in the personalized medicine era, where platform technologies are key."
Anne Deconinck, Executive Director of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT
Vessels of a healthy mini-pig eye
Peter M Maloca, OCTlab at the University of Basel and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London; Christian Schwaller; Ruslan Hlushchuk, University of Bern; Sebastien Barre
This shows a 3D model of a healthy mini-pig eye. The dent on the right-hand side of the image is the pupil, the opening that allows light into the eye.
Blood vessels shown are bringing energy and food to the muscles surrounding the iris, which controls the amount of light entering the eye.
The smallest vessels seen here are 20-30 micrometres (0.02-0.03 mm) in diameter.
Judge's comments:
"The data gathered to make this 3D print allows the scientist to view the detail and handle it in three dimensions in a way that a 3D screen image cannot do. It's fascinating to see the ways in which new technologies complement one another in finding out more about how organs work."

Caricatural medieval medical practitioners
Madeleine Kuijper, Madeleine Kuijper Illustraties
These four scenes are inspired by works by medieval artists and the 15th Century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch.
They are separated by Asclepian snakes, representing both Asclepius - the ancient Greek god of medicine - and the modern-day symbol for medicine.
The top left image is a parody of alchemy - with a masked figure holding a conical flask from which frogs jump.
The top right shows a man sitting on a cart, asking a doctor if his disordered limbs can be repaired.
In the bottom left panel, a patient is being offered tea as a surgeon operates on his opened head.
And in the bottom right, a doctor is performing an operation - and appears to be pulling a bunch of sausages out of a patient's belly while surrounded by hungry dogs.
Judge's comments:
"With its style and watercolour tones reminiscent of old manuscripts, the wit of this illustration is in the details.
"The faceless doctors with their 'plague doctor' masks and the dunce-like funnels on their heads."
Catherine Draycott, Head of Wellcome Images
Language pathways of the brain
Stephanie J Forkel and Ahmad Beyh, Natbrainlab, King's College London; Alfonso de Lara Rubio, King's College London
This is an image showing a 3D-printed reconstruction of the white matter pathway connecting two areas of the human brain - the arcuate fasciculus.
The arcuate fasciculus links grey matter, which contains cells and is responsible for processing information, with white matter which connects areas of grey matter - allowing information to be transferred between distant areas of the brain.
Judge's comments:
"What is so mesmerizing about the 3D model of a brain pathway is that it renders visible the very mechanism in our brain we are using to look at it, a neurological portrait."
Rob Kesseler, visual artist, professor at Central Saint Martins and Chair of Arts, Design and Science at the University of the Arts London
The Placenta Rainbow
Suchita Nadkarni, William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London
This is a placenta rainbow. It highlights differences in mouse placental development that can result from manipulation of the mother's immune system.
They have been stained to show three proteins. Blue represents the nucleus, where DNA is stored and controlled. Blood vessels are stained red. And trophoblasts, the first cells to form in the developing embryo, are green. Additional colours are present due to an expression of two or more of these proteins in the same cell.
Judge's comments:
"A lot of micrography images I see have been coloured for artistic purposes, but this image balances visual considerations with telling a real story, the rainbow effect communicating the passing of time and the occurrence of a biological process, whilst at the same time being aesthetically appealing."
James Cutmore, Picture Editor of BBC Focus
Synthetic DNA channel transporting cargo across membranes
Michael Northrop
Every cell is surrounded by a membrane, which serves to protect the cell's contents and connect the cell to others to form tissues and organs.
Tube-like channels made of proteins span this membrane and control two-way communication between the cell and its environment.
Researchers are using DNA as a building material to make synthetic channels that behave in exactly the same way - and this image is an artist's representation of what these channels look like.
Judge's comments:
"The creator has used metallic textures and colours with machine-like shapes that convey the potential of nanotechnology in the future of biomedicine."
Catherine Draycott, Head of Wellcome Images
Developing spinal cord
Gabriel Galea, University College London
Our spines allow us to stand and move, and they protect the spinal cord, which connects all the nerves in our body with our brain.
The spinal cord is formed from a structure called the neural tube, which develops during the first month of pregnancy - but problems can occur with neural tube development and lead to conditions such as spina bifida.
This series of three images shows the open end of a mouse's neural tube,  which researchers are studying to try to prevent the development of such conditions.
Judge's comments:
"The elegant curves of these embryonic forms look almost like unfurling lilies.  We see how even the beginnings of life can be beautiful, and how revealing and studying these forms can help science to identify sources of debilitating congenital conditions."
Catherine Draycott, Head of Wellcome Images
'Hidden Learning', from the Chrysalis project
Original painting by Sophie McKay Knight, with imagery contributed by women scientists from the University of St Andrews - part of the Chrysalis project coordinated by Mhairi Stewart
This artwork is taken from Chrysalis, a project at the University of St Andrews designed to bring together women scientists at all stages of their careers to talk about issues and to seek advice and inspiration.
Some of its conversations were interpreted in various ways by artist Sophie McKay Knight - and this example explores what women feel they keep hidden in the work environment, such as the pull between their career and home life. The woman's veil is made up of the molecular structure of a sugar molecule.
Judge's comments:
"A recent study just confirmed that in the biotech industry, women hold only 10% of board positions. So I am particularly pleased that many of the (male) Wellcome judges insisted on including this image.
"I hope it will raise awareness and serve as a conversation starter on our continuing journey towards gender equality."
Anne Deconinck, Executive Director of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT
Zebrafish eye and neuromasts
Ingrid Lekk and Steve Wilson, University College London
This four-day-old zebrafish embryo has been modified using two mechanisms borrowed from the worlds of bacteria and yeast - which are widely applied in genetics research.
Scientists used DNA-editing technology to insert a gene - called Gal4 - next to the gene that the researchers wished to study. These Gal4 fish were then bred with special reporter fish, to create hybrid fish where the gene being studied fluoresces red whenever it is activated.
Judge's comments:
"The 2017 Wellcome Image Awards would not be complete without an appearance by the gene-editing technique CRISPR/Cas9, so de rigueur these days. CRISPR allows scientists to precisely replace a specific piece of DNA, opening up the opportunity to cure a wide range of diseases caused by defective genes.
"It is a stunning image that simultaneously highlights both the simple beauty and the complex sophistication of nature."
Anne Deconinck, Executive Director of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT
Brain-on-a-chip
Collin Edington and Iris Lee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This image appears as a result of the partnership between Wellcome Images and the Koch Institute at MIT
Here, researchers are investigating how neural stem cells grow on a synthetic gel called PEG. After just two weeks, the stem cells (magenta) produced nerve fibres (green).
This work supports the Human-on-a-Chip project, which is addressing the inefficiency and cost of traditional drug testing. Researchers have devised ways of growing miniature organs on plastic chips, which they hope can be connected to represent the human body.
This could then be used to accurately predict the effectiveness and toxicity of drugs and vaccines - and remove the need for animal testing in medical research.
Judge's comments:
"'Mini-brains' grown in an incubator are powerful research tools. This image of neural stems cells is stunning - and is also useful in helping to show how brain cells in development organise themselves."
Fergus Walsh, BBC Medical Correspondent
Patient receiving treatment during outreach eye screening in India
Susan Smart
Here, a patient is being treated by a doctor at a makeshift eye clinic in India.
This image was taken while the photographer was volunteering for the charity Unite For Sight. Since 2000, the charity has given eye care to 1.9 million people - some of whom live in extreme poverty.
Judge's comments:
"As a general practitioner in the NHS I often forget how lucky I am to work in relatively comfortable surroundings. This picture demonstrates that not all primary care professionals are as lucky as I am."
Dirk Pilat, Medical Director for e-Learning at the Royal College of General Practitioners and a GP on the Essex coast
Unravelled DNA in a human lung cell
Ezequiel Miron, University of Oxford
In order for plants and animals to grow and remain healthy, cells need to have the ability to replicate. During cell division, also known as mitosis, the entire DNA content of the cell is copied, with half going to each new cell.
DNA is found in a region of the cell called the nucleus, which acts a bit like the brain.
This picture shows the nucleus of one of two new daughter cells. The DNA in this cell has somehow become caught, and is being pulled between the two cells. This has caused the DNA to unfold inside the nucleus, and DNA fibres can be seen running through it.
Judge's comments:
"This jewel-like image shows a rare moment in time - chromosomes being tugged apart in a dividing cell. I love the dynamism in the image as well as the choice of colours."
Alice Roberts, Professor of Public Engagement in Science at the University of Birmingham and a clinical anatomist, author and broadcaster
The winning images will be exhibited from 16 March 2017 in venues across the UK, Europe and Africa.
The UK venues include: Aberdeen Science Centre, At-Bristol, Cambridge Science Centre, Dundee Science Centre, The Eden Project Cornwall, Glasgow Science Centre, Techniquest Cardiff, Millennium Point Birmingham, W5 Belfast and in the windows of Wellcome's HQ in London.
The non-UK venues include: Africa Health Research Institute, South Africa; Polytechnic Museum, Moscow, Russia; Science Gallery, Dublin.

Question: Egyptians have taken to social media to poke fun at President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi after he said he would sell himself to help the country's economy.

"If it were possible for me to be sold, I would sell myself,'' he said in a speech on state television.
A joke page on Ebay "selling" Mr Sisi was created and bids passed $100,000 (Â£72,000) within hours. The page was later removed.
Mr Sisi also asked Egyptians to make donations to the country by text.
The remarks were made as he unveiled an economic development plan for 2030.
Egypt's economic problems include a sharp decline in foreign investment and tourism revenues amidst years of social unrest.
The country also pays large amounts to cover fuel subsidies and servicing its domestic debt, and has suffered from high inflation and unemployment.
Egypt country profile
How important is tourism to Egypt?
Within minutes of Mr Sisi's comments, a listing for the sale of "a used field marshal" with a photograph attached on the president appeared on Ebay.
He was also mocked for asking Egyptians to each donate "10 pounds ($1.2; Â£0.9) to Egypt by mobile text" to help lower the country's enormous financial burden.
Many users took to Twitter to criticise and make fun of his comments, and the hashtag #Ebay was a trending topic in the country.
Mr Sisi vowed to continue building the country "until my life or term [in office] ends" and urged Egyptians to listen only to him if they "truly love" Egypt.
"Do not listen to anyone else but me," he urged.

Some commentators feel the new constitution will further divide Egyptian society and may lead to more chaos.
However, the new constitution had some takers among the press as well, who hailed the referendum's results.
And a section of the press showed no interest in the referendum, commenting on the country's worsening economy instead.
Hilmi al-Jazzar from the Muslim Brotherhood, which backed the new constitution, questions whether its approval constitutes the end of a phase or the beginning of a new one.
In the independently-owned Al-Watan, he writes: "The phase of constitutional vacuum is about to end, and with it the political debate about all constitutional declarations will end." But, Hilmi al-Jazzar goes on, "a new political conflict is about to start", this time involving those members of the opposition who are opposed to the constitution and those who are prepared to live with it.
The commentator also urges the opposition groups to acknowledge the choice of the people, but expects the conflict to extend throughout the upcoming parliamentary elections.
In the same paper, former Muslim Brotherhood member Muhammad Habib comments on what may follow the referendum results.
He says: "He who believes matters will proceed smoothly is mistaken. The reasons for congestion, tension and conflict persist. The breaches and irregularities during the referendum will make the situation worse."

Constitutions compared
Ismail Ibrahim in the state-owned Al-Ahram al-Masai satirises the opposition which is calling for the new constitution to be abolished after the majority of voters approved it.
Addressing them, he says: "Those who participated in the referendum did not do so because the Muslim Brotherhood or religious groups gave them the choice, as some claim, between heaven and hell. They voted because they want to end a phase which threatened to make the country collapse over everybody's heads."
In the official Al-Ahram newspaper, Muhammad Jamal Hishmat calls on Egyptians to focus on the coming period.
He says: "After the constitutional referendum ended with more than two-thirds of voters saying yes, everyone should look forward to what they may do in the coming period; even if it is to amend articles of the constitution. It is time the Egyptian revolution moved forward to achieve its targets."
Writing in the Muslim Brotherhood's mouthpiece Al-Hurriyah wal Adalah, Asma Muhammad Ziyadah congratulates the Egyptian people on their "great new constitution".
She says: "The only people who would have benefited from the constitution not being approved are the remnants of the former regime who want the political, judicial and media authorities to be a field for their corruption, as the homeland is not in their minds and consciences."
Concern is also growing in Egypt's press over the country's failing economic fortunes. A bold red headline on the front page of state-owned Al-Ahram is about the "fear in the street" over economic insecurity.
Writing in the paper, Safwat Qabil urges politicians to leave the economy out of their squabbles. "The later we start treating the economic crisis, the more severe the treatment will be," he warns.
Independent Al-Watan ridicules Islamists' proclamations that the new constitution would bring prosperity to Egypt: the paper's main headline says stability will only be achieved once there are enough dollars.

Question: represent the summary to retrieve the rest of the news story with more details

Question: Paul Di Resta's Formula 1 future is in serious doubt following Force India's decision to replace the Scot with Mexican Sergio Perez.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence.

Force India announced last month that their other driver would be German Nico Hulkenberg, who re-joins the team after a season with Sauber.
Paul Di Resta's failure to find a Formula 1 drive in 2014 appears on one level to be harsh - he is certainly a better prospect than several of the men who will be on the grid next season.
The Scot has proved to be a decently quick and pretty reliable performer in his three seasons in F1, and has produced a handful of impressive drives.
But team bosses feel he lacks star quality and has failed to prove he has the potential to go on to be a world champion.
Times are hard in F1 at the moment for many teams, a majority of which are struggling to complete their budgets.
One example of this was Lotus being forced to take Pastor Maldonado and his mega-bucks Venezuelan sponsorship package rather than their preferred option Nico Hulkenberg.
In that environment, outside the 'big four' of Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren, a driver has to have something extra special to make it worth taking the cash hit of employing him if he does not bring financial backing.
And there has been little evidence that Di Resta is another Sebastian Vettel or Fernando Alonso, even though he beat Vettel to the European Formula Three title when they were team-mates in 2006.
Nor has he helped himself. His image among F1 insiders is not positive, a result of some of his critical outbursts against his team on the radio, and other stories about his attitude that have done the rounds.
Friends tell of a jovial, amusing character who is fun to be around in private. But Di Resta has chosen not to show that side of himself to the world, a decision that must now be viewed as a mistake.
Although there are still some seats open in F1 next year, none are believed to be available to Di Resta.
The 27-year-old is expected to switch to touring cars or endurance racing.
Di Resta is most likely to return to drive for Mercedes in the German Touring Car Championship, which he won in 2010. Sources say he is tired of F1, feels he is finished with it and, as things stand, is unlikely to try to find a reserve driver role to keep his foot in the door.
The Briton made his debut for Force India in 2011 but after three seasons the team have decided they would be better to choose different drivers.
Hulkenberg overshadowed Di Resta when they were team-mates in the second half of 2012 and has continued to impress for Sauber this season.
Perez, who has been dropped by McLaren after a season alongside Jenson Button, brings with him several million pounds worth of sponsorship from Mexico.
Perez said: "Coming here [to Force India] was always my first choice and I'm really happy everything has now been confirmed.
"This is a young team with a lot of determination and they've produced competitive cars for the last few years.
"It's all change for next season with the new regulations, but I already have a good feeling about 2014."
Di Resta was overlooked by top teams Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren when they all changed their second drivers ahead of 2014.
And his ability to find a seat elsewhere has been harmed by his lack of sponsorship budget.
Team bosses feel that he has not proved to be outstanding enough in his three seasons for it to be worth them taking the financial hit of signing him.
Sauber have not yet announced their line-up but there is understood to be no place for Di Resta at the Swiss team.
Media playback is not supported on this device
They are expected to sign his former Force India team-mate Adrian Sutil as their lead driver. Their second seat is likely to go to either Mexican Esteban Gutierrez, who made his debut for Sauber in 2013, or a Russian in deference to their new business partners.
That could be former Lotus and Caterham driver Vitaly Petrov or the 19-year-old novice Sergey Sirotkin, who is considered more likely to become Sauber's reserve driver as a result of his lack of experience.
Backmarker teams Caterham and Marussia have seats available, but Di Resta is not in the frame for them.
Marussia have already signed Frenchman Jules Bianchi for a second season and are expected to keep hold of his 2013 team-mate Englishman Max Chilton as well.
Caterham's line-up is still up in the air, with 2013 race drivers Giedo van der Garde and Charles Pic still options, along with GP2 driver Marcus Ericsson of Sweden, ex-McLaren, Renault and Caterham racer Heikki Kovalainanen and a number of others.
Di Resta's manager Richard Goddard was unavailable for comment.

Kvyat's place at Toro Rosso had been in doubt after a loss in form following his demotion from the senior Red Bull team in a swap with Max Verstappen.
But a revival in the past few races has secured his position.
"I always told Daniil his future was in his hands and he has stepped up to the mark," said team boss Franz Tost.
"In recent races, it has been clear that Daniil is back on top form."
The 22-year-old thanked Red Bull "for their support and the faith they have shown in me since I returned to the team earlier this year".
He added: "I'm very happy to stay with a team that feels like home to me. I'm really looking forward to continuing the hard work together in 2017 and I'm really aiming high.
"I will always be fully dedicated, giving my '200%', and I will be pushing as hard as I usually do."
The decision is a blow for Frenchman Pierre Gasly, the next Red Bull junior in line and the team's reserve driver. Gasly is in contention for the GP2 championship.
Team-mate Carlos Sainz's position was confirmed as long ago as June, but both drivers have been of interest to other teams in recent weeks.
Renault made a move for Sainz and Force India have talked to Kvyat since Nico Hulkenberg's decision earlier this month to move to the French team next year.
Toro Rosso's decision leaves relatively few teams without confirmed driver line-ups and the main interest is now in Williams, Force India and Renault.
Williams are to promote the Canadian rookie Lance Stroll and are expected to retain Valtteri Bottas as his partner, although the Finn has been in talks with Renault, who are also keen to sign him.
The identity of team-mates for Sergio Perez at Force India and Hulkenberg at Renault remains the subject of speculation.
Renault will decide between their current drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer, and Manor's Esteban Ocon.
Force India are also interested in Ocon, while Palmer and the other Manor driver Pascal Wehrlein are in the frame as well.

Question: A former Woolworths store which reopened as Wellworths has been forced to change its name.

Shop Direct, which bought the Woolworths brand out of administration, said it had secured a legal settlement with the store in Dorchester, Dorset.
Wellworths will rebrand itself as Wellchester after failing to agree terms that would have let it keep the name but restrict its expansion.
Shop Direct said protecting its brand was of "paramount importance".
Wellworths, launched by former Woolworths manager Claire Robertson in March 2009, has been given two years to change its branding.
First-year profit
The branch was one of 815 that closed after Woolworths went bust in November 2008 with debts of Â£385m.
But Ms Robertson reopened the store, gave about 20 colleagues their jobs back and saw the business make a profit in its first year.
Wellworths said Shop Direct "initially supported the opening of the former Woolworths store in Dorchester as Wellworths, but then sought an agreement which would place limits on the growth of the business under the Wellworths name".
"Regretfully, rather than accept those limits, Wellworths have decided to replace the Wellworths name with Wellchester over the course of the next two years."
Ms Robertson said she was aiming to expand the brand across south and south-west England, in towns similar to Dorchester.
She announced her intentions in March, although other sites have yet to be found.
"We're really happy with the way things are going and have been extremely well supported by our customers in the first year-and-a-half," she added.
Mark Newton-Jones, chief executive of home shopping firm Shop Direct, said: "Protecting your brand is of paramount importance to every business and no less so to us with our Woolworths brand."

Esslemont and Macintosh - affectionately known simply as E&Ms - in Union Street closed in 2007.
Proposals could have seen the property converted into a 98-bedroom hotel, with a four-storey glass extension.
The store, established in 1873, closed with the loss of 100 jobs after receivers were called in.

Question: A widow who hates spending the festive season alone has treated about 40 people to a Christmas lunch in Devon.

Betty Williams, 86, paid £1,000 for the meals at the Lamb and Flag in Ottery St Mary on Tuesday.
The former teacher, who lost her husband 12 years ago, said she decided to make the gesture so others would not have to face Christmas on their own.
A town crier, brass band and carol singing were also featuring in the celebration, landlord Ron Miles said.
Mrs Williams said: "I wanted to give pleasure to some people and to get them out among friends. It's great."
Town mayor Glyn Dobson helped gather the guests, working with local churches and members of the local Rotary Club after Mrs Williams approached him with the idea.
He said: "She's very generous to do this. I love to see local people getting together anyway.
"And to see them coming just before Christmas to enjoy themselves is great."
Mr Miles - who said he was first approached to provide the dinner "about 10 days ago" - also echoed that it was "a phenomenal day".
He said: "She's an incredible lady making a wonderful, wonderful gesture."
Donors from around the world - including Europe, California and Australia - had now funded similar meals for the future, he added.
He said: "We've had such an incredible response. We've collected just over £4,000 - enough funds for at least the next three years - and, with extra fundraising throughout the year, we expect it to be annual event."

The traditional turkey meals are for patients, but tens of thousands of staff working on the big day will tuck in to their dinner in a hospital canteen.
Across the UK, 12,000 midwives will have to time theirs around delivering 1,800 Christmas babies.
At care homes in England there will be 200,000 staff sitting down to eat during a break in their shift.
Lane House Residential Care Home in Tamworth will be serving turkey with all the trimmings, including roast and mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrots, parsnips, peas, sprouts and cranberry sauce, followed by Christmas pudding served with either custard or brandy sauce.
After lunch there will be a 'film afternoon' for the residents, along with a buffet tea of finger sandwiches, scotch eggs, sausage rolls, pork pies and mince pies.
At University College Hospital London it will be "business as usual", but with some extra Christmas magic.
Ana Veloso, nursing assistant in the acute medical unit, said: "Christmas Day is extra-special.  We put up decorations, the nurses wear hats and earrings, and the patients are given presents."
At Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool. Father Christmas will be paying a visit to the ward.
Val Shannon, voluntary services manager at Alder Hey, said: "Christmas should always be special for children and our staff will do everything possible to make Christmas Day as magical as possible for our patients, many of whom are very poorly.
"Father Christmas will visit our wards on Christmas morning and every child in the hospital will receive a sack full of presents.
"There is also a traditional Christmas lunch, prepared by our ward-based chefs and complete with Christmas crackers. We also try to ensure our patients' families have a special day too, by giving out toys to siblings and providing parents with vouchers for a free meal in the hospital restaurant."

Question: Seven police officers have been killed in a bomb blast that rocked the Kurdish-dominated south-eastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir.

Explosives packed into a car went off near a bus station as a police minibus drove by. More than 20 people were injured in the attack.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blamed "terrorists" for the attack.
The army is locked in an operation against rebels from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in the region.
A ceasefire between the government and the PKK collapsed in July last year.
Since then violence has surged, with militants attacking security forces and the army besieging Kurdish-dominated towns.
The explosion was powerful enough to shatter glass in nearby buildings. Both civilians and police were among the wounded.
"The terrorist organisation shows its heinous face through this attack," said Mr Erdogan, who is visiting Washington.
"We cannot tolerate this any more. European countries and other countries, I hope they will see the true face of the PKK and other terrorist organisations in these attacks."
No group has yet said it was behind the blast.
The attack comes a day before a planned visit to Diyarbakir by Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
The TAK, an offshoot of the PKK, has claimed two bombings in Ankara this year that killed more than 60 people.
Turkey is also part of the coalition battling so-called Islamic State (IS) and has also been attacked by the militant group.
In Syria, the US has been supporting the YPG, a Kurdish militia Turkey regards as an offshoot of the PKK, in their battle against IS.

Turkish forces launched a large-scale operation against the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) near Mount Cudi, in the province of Sirnak, on Wednesday.
Helicopter gunships were used in this, the largest attack on rebels in 2012.
Correspondents say the fighting was sparked by tensions surrounding the Kurdish New Year celebrations, Novruz.
Five of the officers died on Wednesday, while another was killed on Thursday, security officials said.
One rebel is reported to have been captured in the operation, which involves both army troops and special operations police forces.
On Sunday, police in the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir used tear gas and water cannon to prevent thousands of Kurds from holding a demonstration timed to coincide with Novruz. The unrest later spread to other Turkish cities.
PKK rebels recently have stepped up their operations, correspondents say.
The rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has been fighting for autonomy in Turkey's largely Kurdish south-east since 1984, in a conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives.

Police were called to the flat in Fernhead Road, Kilburn, north London just before 01:00 BST on Monday, 29 May.
Officers gained entry and found the body of a 32-year-old woman. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 28-year-old man remains in custody at a west London police station, the Metropolitan Police said.
The force said it was called to the flat following "concerns for the welfare of an occupant".
Officers believe they know the woman's identity and her next-of-kin have been informed.
Her death had initially been treated as unexplained but was deemed suspicious after a post-mortem examination, police said.
The examination has now concluded and found the cause of death to be from multiple stab wounds.
The victim was in the Kilburn area on 22 May but detectives said they want to know more about her movements after that.
The motive for the attack may be linked to the victim being a sex worker, police said.

The victim, aged in her 30s, was discovered at about 16:00 GMT on Monday afternoon.
She told officers she was also raped by her attacker and was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
A man was arrested at 22:00 on the same evening. He is also being questioned over the rape of a woman in Southey Road, Seven Sisters, on 11 March.

Question: British poet Sir Geoffrey Hill has died aged 84, his wife has confirmed.

Alice Goodman said her husband died "suddenly, and without pain or dread" on Thursday evening.
Sir Geoffrey was the Professor of Poetry at Oxford University until last year, and best known for Mercian Hymns, his 1971 collection of prose poems.
Jacqueline Norton, Senior Commissioning Editor for Literature at Oxford University Press, praised his "poetic genius".
"We're very saddened by the news of Geoffrey Hill's death, but also grateful to have worked with him," she said.
"His fierce intelligence will be much missed."
Poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy told The Guardian: "He was, in poetry, a saint and a warrior who never gave an inch in his crusade to reach poetic truth."
Sir Geoffrey Hill was born on 18 June 1932.
He studied English literature at Oxford University and graduated with first class honours.
Sir Geoffrey released his first collection of poems, For the Unfallen, in 1959 - and went on to publish more than 20 volumes of poetry over his career.
He became Oxford University's Professor of Poetry in 2010 - a position he held for five years.
His accolades include the Faber Memorial award and the Whitbread Award for Poetry.
He was knighted in 2012 for services to literature.

His publisher, Pan Macmillan, confirmed that he died at his home in Sussex this morning. No cause of death was given.
Jeremy Trevathan, his editor for 10 years, described him as "one of the keystone authors in a genre that had its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s".
He is survived by his wife, Eileen, whom he married in 1967, and their three daughters Kerry, Emma and Casey.
Herbert's first novel, The Rats, depicted London overrun by mutant flesh-eating rodents and sold 100,000 copies within two weeks of being published in 1974.
Since then, he has published 23 novels in more than 30 languages, selling 54 million copies worldwide. His latest book, Ash, was published last week.
Herbert was appointed an OBE by the Queen in 2010 - the same year he was made Grand Master of Horror by the World of Horror Convention.
Mr Trevathan described Herbert as "one of the giants of popular fiction in the 20th Century".
"It's a true testament to his writing and his enduring creativity that his books continued to be huge bestsellers right up until his death.
"He has the rare distinction that his novels were considered classics of the genre within his lifetime," he added.
Born in London's East End on 8 April 1943, Herbert won a scholarship to St Aloysius Grammar School in Highgate at the age of 10.
After a college course in graphic design, he went on to work at an advertising agency.
He started his first novel, The Rats, at the age of 28 and completed it within 10 months.  He submitted the manuscript to six publishers, three of whom replied.
Of those, two rejected the novel and one accepted it.
The Rats was one of four Herbert novels made into films, along with The Survivor, Fluke and Haunted.
His novel The Secret Of Crickley Hall was adapted for television and broadcast on BBC One in December, while The Magic Cottage was dramatised for BBC Radio 4.
One of his friends, Gordon Giltrap, paid tribute to the author on Twitter: "Received some sad news this morning that my good friend James Herbert has passed away. Am in no mood for music, that's for sure. RIP Jim."
Another, Peter James, wrote: "Deeply saddened to hear today that my dear friend, writer James Herbert, died last night.  Will miss you lots, Jim, you were a diamond."

Question: "Serious and widespread failures" have been found in children's services in Gloucestershire, a watchdog has said.

Ofsted said "too many children" were being left in situations of "risk of significant harm for too long" because dangers were not recognised.
It rated children's services as inadequate and said standards had "deteriorated significantly" since it was last rated inadequate in 2011.
The council admitted it had "fallen short" but has made "major changes".
The report, which covered an inspection period from 27 February to 23 March, said it had "serious concerns" about the services' senior leadership team.
It said a "lack of management oversight" was leaving children in "situations of risk" and its findings - along with an "unprecedented number of whistleblowing concerns" - showed that management was "failing to protect children and families".
Inspectors found a "significant number" of cases being referred back to the local authority because managers and social workers "failed to identify children at risk" or "respond appropriately to escalating risks in families".
The report also found only 60% of children were risk assessed within an "appropriate timescale", that current systems and processes were "ineffective" and that an "unprecedented number" of staff had raised concerns about a "culture of bullying and blame".
In a statement, the council said it has "changed the leadership team" and "made some major changes in management".
"Our social workers do very difficult and complex work - they are not to blame," a spokesperson said.
"The responsibility lies with their leadership and management team and we have taken swift action to deal with this."
Chief Executive Pete Bungard, said it has also brought in "social work specialists" to lead its staff.
"I am sorry that we have not supported our children and their families as quickly as we should have done," he said.
"We will continue to work very closely with the Department for Education, Ofsted and the Local Government Association."

Leeds City Council's children's services department was criticised in 2009 after a serious case review into the murder of toddler Casey Mullen.
Ofsted found that it did not adequately safeguard children in the city and a restructuring of the department began.
Its services have now been rated "good" with "outstanding" leadership.
After its latest inspection in January, Ofsted said there had been "significant improvements" across the board.
"Risk and harm are responded to in a timely, assured and well-coordinated way," the report said.
"There is a robust and well-coordinated response to children who are missing and/or at risk of experiencing child sexual exploitation.
"Children and young people live in safe, stable and appropriate homes and have sustained relationships with social workers and carers who know them well."
Its findings are in stark contrast to those published after the July 2009 serious case review into the rape and murder of two-year-old Casey by her uncle Michael Mullen at her home in Gipton in February 2007.
The review by Leeds Safeguarding Children Board said social services were asked to carry out an assessment of Casey's family because of concerns before she died, but had failed to do so.
It said follow-up appointments for Casey were not kept on "a significant number of occasions".
Ofsted reported in July 2009, and again in January 2010, that services in Leeds did not adequately safeguard children. In March 2010 a restructure began and a new senior leadership team was appointed.
Ofsted now says the city puts children and young people "at the heart" of its strategy.
Judith Blake, the council's executive member for children and families, hailed the Ofsted judgement as a "fantastic endorsement".

Question: Rumour had it that Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin had been taken to the Sheshan Seminary, the old church on the outskirts of Shanghai, where he trained to be a priest.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article:

He is said to have so upset the government that it felt the need to remove him from public view.
When we visited the seminary, we found a quiet church set high up on a hill, and a sleepy priest training centre undergoing construction work in the valley below.
There was no sign of the missing bishop and no sign of any security officials.
Most priests, we were told, had left for their holidays.
But wherever he is, the newly appointed Catholic bishop certainly appears to have been silenced after seeming to challenge the authority of the state-run body that controls the church, the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association (CPCA).
Bishop Ma announced his surprise resignation from the organisation during his ordination ceremony this weekend, here in Shanghai, in front of senior officials.
Shanghai is a strong centre of Roman Catholicism and three Jesuit bishops there have fallen foul of the Chinese authorities for their loyalty to the Pope:
China 'detains' defiant bishop
A close friend has told the BBC that Bishop Ma has now been forced to undertake "a period of reflection" in private, and one that might last for months.
"He has chosen belief over freedom" the friend said.
Some news reports say that Bishop Ma sent a text message to priests and nuns saying he was "mentally and physically exhausted" and needed to make a "personal retreat".
It seems an odd decision for a man who was ordained just three days ago and appeared full of enthusiasm for his new appointment at the time.
In his speech at the ceremony he told the 1,000-strong congregation that due to his new responsibilities he could no longer be a member of the CPCA.
That remark, which can be found at the six-and-a-half minute mark
          in a Youtube video
drew loud applause.
But it also seemingly sent shock waves through the official hierarchy.
The CPCA has controlled China' s official Catholic Church since 1957.
It means the atheist state reserves the right to appoint its own bishops, a power of course that the Vatican strongly contests.
Chinese Catholics are estimated to number between 8 million and 12 million but are divided between the state sanctioned church and an "underground" church that rejects the role of the party and the state in its affairs.
Members of the underground church face surveillance and sometimes arrest.
But for a bishop who has risen to prominence in the official church as a senior member of the CPCA to seemingly turn on the organisation is very rare indeed.
And to do so in such a public way would therefore probably be seen as a direct challenge to the authority of the Chinese state to involve itself in church affairs.
Recently relations between the Vatican and the Chinese state were said to be thawing, at least a little.
Many Chinese bishops in fact now have the backing of both, although last week the CPCA pushed ahead with the ordination of one of its own in the face of strong objections from Rome.
Now the mysterious case of the missing Thaddeus Ma Daqin shows that the old tensions remain.

Griffith John spent more than 50 years working in Wuhan province before his death in 1912, aged 80.
The garden was opened in his home city of Swansea and a memorial stone and plaque were unveiled in the grounds of the Griffith John flats.
After learning Chinese, he set up schools and hospitals in China.
John arrived in the country in 1855, establishing training colleges and pioneering the recruitment of Chinese people for missionary work in their own country.
He translated the New Testament into a number of Chinese dialects and became a notable orator.
In later life, John was a leading opponent of the opium trade.
He returned to Britain early in 1912 - only the third time he left China - and died in July that year after 56 years of service.
He is buried in Sketty, Swansea, and a street is named after him in the Dyfatty area of the city.
Last year a delegation from Union Hospital, which John founded and which is now a major medical research centre, visited Swansea.
They brought a bust of John made by Chinese artist Xiang Jinguo, which went on display temporarily at Swansea Museum.

The Sea Trust, which took the picture, said the "very large" shark was estimated to be four metres (about 13ft) long.
It was spotted with a large pod of common dolphins during a survey in the Bristol Channel on Monday.
The Trust says the species is a rare sight in UK waters, with just six spotted in 2012 and two in 2011.
Thresher sharks have distinctive long tails and are known for breaching - or leaping - clear of the sea surface.
During the same trip, from Milford Haven, Sea Trust volunteers saw "pod after pod" of dolphins, many of which were pregnant or with newborn calves.
