It was another fun-filled Big Brother highlights show, as the housemates got stuck into a new shopping task.
Their mission was to take to the Internet and become viral stars, living search engines and, worryingly, webcam superstars.
In addition to all of that, the 'are they, aren't they' relationship between Helen and Ash continues to rumble on, with nobody any the wiser about what's going on - especially Helen and Ash.
Here's how it all panned out in our liveblog...
Good evening and welcome to our Big Brother liveblog – we'll be getting underway once the show starts on Channel 5 at 10pm.
Last night's highlights show was all about love, with relationships involving Ash Harrison, Helen Wood, Christopher Hall and Mark Byron under scrutiny.
Chris R Wright was coming up on the rails though, as his fondness for Ashleigh Coyle continued to be fascinating and unsettling in equal measures.
If that wasn't enough, some of the housemates received letters from home, everyone cried and they all saw a rainbow. Ahhhhhh…
In tonight's instalment, there's a brand new shopping task that will keep their weary minds occupied,
Their mission is to record a short video and try and go 'viral' – although not like the mystery pants that had been left in housemates' beds.
Meanwhile, Mark entrusts his beloved bouffant to Helen, who gives him a trim – but does she get a bit carried away?
To top it all off, we get to see Winston Showan performing a webcam show for Luisa Zussman, who issues him with a series of increasingly steamy demands.
Don't let the kids stay up for it, that's all we're saying.
In fact, there's LOADS more than that in tonight's show but we don't want to spoil it for you, so get back here for 10pm and watch it with us.
You can chip in with your own thoughts and feelings on Twitter – we're @MirrorTV.
Did you know we have a TV & film page on Facebook? Check us out here.
The dial-up noise that woke them must have confused and terrified half of the housemates - they won't be old enough to remember when the internet sounded like that.
Meanwhile, boring Pav is having one of the longest conversations of his time in the house, with Big Brother in the diary room.
Topics covered included his letter from ho... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
They're trying to get a thousand hits with these 'viral' videos?
Is that a thousand in total? Because Chris Wright's football knowledge won't reach double figures.
And Ash in a mankini looks like the kind of content that David Cameron is so keen to get shut down.
Coming up later on - the housemates' online task continues, with a series of webcam shows featuring the boys of the house.
'Highlight' has to be the sight of Winston Showan thrusting and roaring while former Celeb BB housemate Luisa Zissman directs him remotely from a safe location.
Go on then - don't say we never treat you. But be warned - you won't be able to unsee it.
The ongoing relationship between Ash and Helen is going to run and run, even though Ash doesn't seem all that bothered about pursuing it.
Meanwhile, Helen is pretending not to care one way or the other - but it's blatantly obvious that she does.
There's a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid coming up later in the show. THAT should sort things out once and for all, right? Erm...
Uh oh... this is what can happen when someone like Helen is allowed to operate unchecked because everyone is scared of her.
She's hacked off a huge lump of Mark's hair and no one was brave enough to stage an intervention.
'You know how important my hair is to me!' Mark yells at the sniggering housemates.
What hair's that, Mark?
There's something for everyone in this task - boy housemates writhing around and Queen Luisa being all commanding and sexy and that.
The trouble is that whichever one you're into, the other is probably cancelling it out.
Did any of it match up to George Galloway being the cat for Rula Lenska? Nahhhh... sorry.
Yes, nothing going between Helen and Ash at all, is there? At least not in Ash's mind.
Helen seems perfectly happy with the knowledge that Ash would rather marry Zoe than her.
Zoe will be wishing for an eternity working in a 24-hour Tesco once this is all over.
This has been refreshing - rather than have some unpleasant truths revealed to them from each other, the housemates are having their characters ripped apart by the viewers.
Their fragile egos will be in bits after that spectacular display.
Wonder how many viewers have changed their favourite housemate after that. Has Mark's popularity dropped?
'I've never once been above meself. Not one time... ever,' says Zoe, in an impassioned diary room speech.
Oh, apart from that time the other day when you said you wouldn't be able to share the house with normals, the sort of people who work in Tesco.
Meanwhile, Christopher is starting to assert himself with Mark more and more. He'll have Mark dressing as the naughty piggy by the time they get out of there.
Once again, Big Brother ends with us trying to guess just what kind of amorous activity is going on solely by looking at the shape of the duvet and the motion underneath it.
Pretty sure Ash and Helen weren't swapping World Cup stickers.
Will they progress from the 'tent' to a room once the series is over?

About The Nigeria Police Force
The Hausa Constabulary/Lagos Police – 1861
In Nigeria, the development of the Police Force was on a tangential direction to that of the British Force. British trade interest and the need to prevent squabbles between the native chiefs and the Imperial Merchants were the impetus for the formation of the Force.
Consequently, the Police grew up as paramilitary Force bearing arms from its inception. The Consular Guard established in Lagos in 1861 consisting of about 30 men were armed. In 1863, this Guard matured into the Hausa Police and by 1879, the latter developed into Hausa constabulary. It was armed and consisted of a Commissioner, two assistant Commissioners, A Superintendent, an Assistant Superintendent, A Pay and Quartermaster, A Master Tailor and 250 other ranks.
The Royal Niger Company established in Lokoja in 1886 an armed constabulary to protect its trade interest along the river Niger in the North. There were 5 officers, 415 Rank and File then. But these increased to 15 officers and 1,003 rank and file in 1898. Although this constabulary was disbanded in 1900 when the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria was proclaimed, it achieved success in punishing slave dealers in Ilorin and Bida in 1897.
In 1891, the Oil River Protectorate was declared with headquarters at Calabar. This was the handwork of Annesley who found it increasingly difficult to carry out consular orders which were invariable anti-chiefs interest. His mode of administration was a conflict model. He attacked the palace of Andemeno in Cross River with his Force.
He allowed his commercial interest to becloud his judgement and the realization that the early Police Force in his homeland in Britain developed as a result of the co-operation and goodwill of the people.
Consequently the Force was disbanded and in 1894 the Nigeria Coast Constabulary was formed. This force survived for six years until 1900 when the colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria was proclaimed.
With the proclamation of the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria a lot of the men of the Niger Coast constabulary defected to the Southern Nigeria Regiment. The others, including the Lagos Police force joined the Southern Nigeria Police which came into existence in 1906. This Force was headed by an Inspector- General of Police Johnstone. The force performed Para-military duties.
In 1906, three separate Police Forces existed in Nigeria. There were the Lagos Police Force, the Northern Police Force and the Southern Police Force. In the second half of 1906, the colony and protectorate of Lagos was merged with the protectorate of Southern Nigeria. In 1914 the colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria and the Protectorate of Northern were merged to form the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria.
However, the Southern and Northern Nigeria Police Forces remained separate and no amalgamation too place until 1930. On 1st April, 1930 came the existence of the Nigeria Police Force with headquarters in Lagos. The Inspector-General of both forces, then amalgamated, was Duncan. He headed various Police establishments in British Possessions outside Nigeria before his appointment.
(Culled from "The Nigeria Police and Human Rights" by S. G. Ehindero)
History of The Nigeria Police
Although Police is derived from the Greek, it was the Romans who perfected the system. The Roman politia meant the same thing as the Greek Politeira. It was a symbol of power residing in central Authority.
During the duration of the Roman Empire, Police in Rome was organized from the ranks. There was the Roman Prefect which had under his control fourteen Magistrates, each responsible for a district and assisted by vigiles who patrolled the streets, lictores who were law enforcement officers and stationaii who were residents of the city blocks.
In Britain, Policing developed as a local affair with a role which has remained till now. That it is the responsibility of every person to maintain law and order. This role is rooted in history and common law tradition of Britain that each citizen had a duty to suppress crime and disorder within his area.
Failure to do so entailed the payment of fines. The burden of policing was placed on every adult citizen. It was an avocational obligatory policing, manifesting itself in the forms of tythingman of the Saxon Police, the frankpledge in the South and East of England after the Norman conquest 1066 and later as the Parish Constable system after the enactment of the Statute of Winchester 1285.
Before describing these systems in brief it is relevant to observe that policing and police work did not start as a paid profession. It started as a noble, incorruptible profession with considerable responsibility and distinction. It was the Justices of the Peace system, which corrupted the Parish Constable System.
When the first paid professional police force was proposed in Britain, it was strongly opposed by those who feared that such force would lead to repression and threat to the freedom of the individual and to democracy. The Police Force as we know it today went through three distinct stages before it became a profession. As Hewitt, W.A. puts it. " At first the populace, though small was responsible for maintaining law and order. Then Justices of the Peace emerged on the scene to provide both the law and order and Justice at the bar. Then, in the present era, paid professional police were established to maintain law and order".
Objectives of NP
The Aims of the Nigeria Police Force is to enhance the quality of life in our Country by working in partnership with the community and in accordance with constitutional rights to enforce the laws, preserve the peace, reduce fear, and provide for a safe environment.
Combat serious and organized crime, within and across Force boundaries.
In partnership with the community, our objectives are to:
Protect the lives and property of our fellow citizens and impartially enforce the law.
Fight crime both by preventing it and by aggressively pursuing violators of the law.
Maintain a higher standard of integrity than is generally expected of others because so much is expected of us.
Value human life, respect the dignity of each individual and renderour services with courtesy and civility
Police Activities
The Nigerian Police Force is famed around the world and has a unique place in the history of policing. It is by far the largest of the police services that operate in West Africa.
Today, the Nigeria Police Force employs a lot of officers, police staff and traffic wardens and thousands of Police Commands, all over the country.
The police maintains law and orderliness in the community i.e ensuring that all indigenes and non indigenes are governed by the law irrespective of their position or status in the community.
The Patrol men go around the community to ensure that all paramount cases are duly attended to eg clearing broken down vehicles on the way and attending to dis-orderliness in the community. They equally attend to emergencies and respond promptly to any official call of emergency.
They arrest and detain if need be and issue bail for a suspect who is yet to be arraigned in the court of law.
Structure The Nigeria Police is divided into six major departments. They are:
'A' Department (General Administration of the Force): The 'A' Department Force Headquarters, Abuja is rated as the highest administration of the Force. Its primary functions are as follows:

The Gloucester City Fire Department has received $598,038 in federal funding to hire new firefighters through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program, Senators Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez announced.
"With local governments facing a tough budget climate, this federal grant will help Gloucester City hire firefighters and improve emergency services for local families," said Lautenberg, Vice Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, which funds the SAFER program. "Keeping our communities safe and secure is a top priority, and these funds will help ensure that Gloucester City has more trained first responders ready to protect the community."
"Gloucester families can rest easy knowing that their local fire station has the necessary resources to properly train and hire new firefighters." said Senator Menendez, who sent a letter to FEMA in support of Gloucester City's application for this grant. "Safety is not a luxury, it's a basic need that can't wait for flush years. This funding will help ensure New Jersey's communities are safe, even in these tough economic times when everyone's budgets are tight."

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — EDITORIAL: The closing of Palm Beach County Schools Monday was the right call made at the wrong time. The last minute decision, we believe, represents a message management issue with Palm Beach County Schools that must be rectified promptly.
The Palm Beach County School District issued at least two press releases on Sunday affirming that schools would be open Monday, despite announcements that schools in Broward and Miami-Dade counties would be closed. A tropical storm warning covering all of Palm Beach County was in effect at the time the press releases were issued. Hurricane advisories were in effect to our south.
We do not know the official source of weather information for Dr. Wayne Gent, the school system's relatively new superintendent, but we do know that Florida Atlantic University issued a press release — almost simultaneously to the school district's — announcing that FAU would be closed.
It seems unlikely that FAU was using a different forecast than the Palm Beach County School District.
Closing school for a storm is a difficult decision for superintendents nationwide. In snow-prone regions, it is often a guessing game of determining whether snow will be powder, wet, or packed on ice. Powder may be no issue for school busses, while wet snow or ice can be treacherous. These are often factors in making an overnight, last minute decision.
But nothing about Tropical Storm Isaac was last minute. The National Weather Service and the National Hurricane Center made it clear that rain and wind would continue Monday, even if the storm jogged to the west. Anyone who has spent any time in South Florida knows that bad weather continues after the main part of the storm has passed.
Which is why it is so befuddling that Dr. Gent waited until the middle of the night to close school. Parents already planned for their children to have a "normal" day. Area daycare centers and religious institions — many of which yield to the school district's lead — advised that they would be open as well, only to suddenly change plans overnight as well.
The end result: parents and business owners being forced to make emergency daycare and staffing decisions Monday morning — decisions that could have calmly been made over the weekend.
Closing school was the right call. There is nothing more important than the safety our children. But making that call in the middle of the night — after affirming that schools would be open just hours earlier — suggests a decision making problem in the ranks of the Palm Beach County School District.
Dr. Gent is no stranger to Palm Beach County or its weather. He has served in the school system for many years. But this is the latest misstep for Dr. Gent who several months ago issued a statement saying that he was "pleased" with FCAT scores that were either lower — or the same — as previous years.
Parents argued that there was nothing to be pleased about.
As Superintendent, we suggest that Dr. Gent take a fresh look at the impact of his decisions, his statements, and their timing. Tropical Storm Isaac made no sudden shift overnight, and there was no reason for the Palm Beach County School District to wait until the middle of the night to make a decision that — as neighboring school districts proved — should have been made much earlier.
We welcome comments and opposing points of view.

The Legacy of Cain
20. Eunice's Diary
How long a time passed before my composure came back to me, I cannot remember now.
It seemed as if I was waiting through some interval of my life that was a mystery to
myself. I was content to wait, and feel the light evening air in the garden wafting
happiness over me. And all this had come from a kiss! I can call the time to mind when I
used to wonder why people made such a fuss about kissing.
I had been indebted to Maria for my first taste of Paradise. I was recalled by Maria to the
world that I had been accustomed to live in; the world that was beginning to fade away in
my memory already. She had been sent to the garden in search of me; and she had a word
of advice to offer, after noticing my face when I stepped out of the shadow of the tree:
"Try to look more like yourself, miss, before you let them see you at the tea-table."
Papa and Miss Jillgall were sitting together talking, when I opened the door. They left off
when they saw me; and I supposed, quite correctly as it turned out, that I had been one of
the subjects in their course of conversation. My poor father seemed to be sadly anxious
and out of sorts. Miss Jillgall, if I had been in the humor to enjoy it, would have been
more amusing than ever. One of her funny little eyes persisted in winking at me; and her
heavy foot had something to say to my foot, under the table, which meant a great deal
perhaps, but which only succeeded in hurting me.
My father left us; and Miss Jillgall explained herself.
"I know, dearest Euneece, that we have only been acquainted for a day or two and that I
ought not perhaps to have expected you to confide in me so soon. Can I trust you not to
betray me if I set an example of confidence? Ah, I see I can trust you! And, my dear, I do
so enjoy telling secrets to a friend. Hush! Your father, your excellent father, has been
talking to me about young Mr. Dunboyne."
She provokingly stopped there. I entreated her to go on. She invited me to sit on her knee.
"I want to whisper," she said. It was too ridiculous--but I did it. Miss Jillgall's whisper
told me serious news.
"The minister has some reason, Euneece, for disapproving of Mr. Dunboyne; but, mind
this, I don't think he has a bad opinion of the young man himself. He is going to return
Mr. Dunboyne's call. Oh, I do so hate formality; I really can't go on talking of Mr.
Dunboyne. Tell me his Christian name. Ah, what a noble name! How I long to be useful
to him! Tomorrow, my dear, after the one o'clock dinner, your papa will call on Philip, at
his hotel. I hope he won't be out, just at the wrong time."
I resolved to prevent that unlucky accident by writing to Philip. If Miss Jillgall would
have allowed it, I should have begun my letter at once. But she had more to say; and she
was stronger than I was, and still kept me on her knee.

What is in this article?:
- Cattle feeder challenges Florida ranchers
- Starts with the cow
- Through the right decisions, ranchers can deliver quality beef to consumers and reap the rewards.
- When it comes to genetics, ranchers should set their sights on minimizing variation.
JERRY BOHN, manager of Pratt Feeders in Kansas.
Jerry Bohn told 300 ranchers at the 63rd Annual Florida Beef Cattle Short Course in Gainesville, Fla., to "strive for excellence."
"Let's build good calves. Let's expect more out of our calves, and then let's do something about it," said the manager of Pratt Feeders in Kansas, which has finished cattle for 20 Florida ranches in the past year.
"Do you know what you are feeding?" he asked. "With the current market, there is no better time to find out what your calves can do beyond the ranch."
At stake are profit-driving premiums and the rising expectations of consumers. "We need to implement programs that deliver high-quality cattle every time," he said. "So the challenge that we have is to get them ready to do everything that they are capable of doing."
Owners and managers decide practices, grazing and feeding programs, animal health and risk management systems, Bohn said. Through the right decisions, ranchers can deliver quality beef to consumers and reap the rewards.
"If we're going to make a better beef product, the whole system needs to know what we're producing," he said. "Then we need to make genetic, animal health and feeding changes that are necessary to make that happen."
Gone is the "island mentality," Bohn said. "The adversarial relationship between ranchers, feeders and processors has been replaced with coordination, cooperation and transparency."
Why make a better beef product? Quality drives the beef market because pork and poultry keep building on price advantages.
"Beef's high -- record high. That means the consumer has to pay a high price for our product," the feeder said. "We have to ensure that the eating experience is good every time. We never want our customers to lower their expectations of beef. There is no way to spin a disappointment on the plate."
Bohn says it all starts with the rancher. "What you do with your calves has a huge impact when they come to my place."

Our Adults' Media Use and Attitudes Report provides detailed evidence on media use, attitudes and understanding among UK adults aged 16+. It covers TV, radio, mobile, games, and the internet, with a particular focus on the latter.
Media literacy enables people to have the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to make full use of the opportunities presented both by traditional and by new communications services. Media literacy also helps people to manage content and communications, and protect themselves and their families from the potential risks associated with using these services.
Key themes from this year's report include:
- There has been growth in take-up and use by older people, across a range of devices
- There has been growth in a range of online activities, particularly across communication and entertainment activities
- User-generated content is an information source for users, although online users are more likely to receive than to contribute content
- Privacy and security attitudes and behaviour continue to vary considerably by age group
- Among those with app-enabled devices, apps are more popular than browsers for some online activities
More UK adults, especially older adults, are now going online, using a range of devices
Over eight in ten (83%) of adults now go online using any type of device in any location. Nearly all 16-24s and 25-34s are now online (98%), and there has been a nine percentage point increase in those aged 65+ ever going online (42% vs. 33% in 2012).
The number of adults using tablets to go online has almost doubled; from 16% in 2012 to 30% in 2013. While almost all age-groups are more likely than previously to use tablets in this way, use by those aged 35-64 has doubled, while use by 65-74s has trebled; from 5% to 17%.
Six in ten UK adults (62%) now use a smartphone, an increase from 54% in 2012. This increase is driven by 25-34s and 45-54s, and those aged 65-74 are almost twice as likely to use a smartphone now compared to 2012 (20% vs. 12%).
The range of mobile activities has increased, particularly among 25-34s and 45-54s
These increases in take-up of mobile devices mirror an increase in the range of mobile activities that people are doing, many of which are communication- and entertainment-based. Over half (55%) of mobile users ever send / receive emails on mobile, and use their mobile to visit social networking sites or apps. Four in ten mobile users have ever used mobile phones to put photos or videos on sites like YouTube, while the same number (38%) use their phone for instant messaging. Almost three in ten ever use services like Skype or FaceTime on mobile phones.
One third of mobile users now say they buy things via their phone (33% vs. 23% in 2012) or use their phone to check their bank balance (34% vs. 25% in 2012).
TV continues to be the most-missed media activity
Watching television remains the most-missed media activity among adults in 2013, (although, since 2009, this is missed by a minority: 42% of adults), followed by using a smartphone (22%) and going online via a PC/ laptop/ netbook (15%).
However, this varies considerably by age group, with only 13% of 16-24s nominating TV, compared to around one third of 25-44s, and nearly seven in ten of people aged 65+. The device that most 16-34s say they would most miss using is a smartphone (47% for 16-24s and 36% for 25-34s).
Just over half (54%) of online users say they watch TV programmes online, on any device; this has not increased since 2012. This rises to seven in ten 16-24s (71%). One in five (22%) of mobile phone users have ever watched a TV programme on a mobile phone, with one in eight (13%) doing so at least quarterly.
Gaming has grown in popularity, driven by older age-groups and mobile phones
Four in ten (42%) UK adults now play games on any device, compared to 35% in 2012. Playing games on a mobile has increased (19% vs. 13%), as has playing games on a tablet (10% vs. 5%). In both cases, these increases are driven by 25-34s (13pp for mobiles and 9pp for tablets), those aged 45-54 (9pp and 7pp) and those aged 55-64s (5pp and 4pp).
Compared to 2012, those aged 45-54 are twice as likely to play games over the internet (18% vs. 9%). Playing games on a mobile phone (either games loaded on the phone or those that require you to go online) has also increased by seven percentage points for internet users (46% vs. 39% in 2012). This increase is most notable for those aged 16-24 (82% vs. 71% in 2012) and 45-54s (42% vs. 31% in 2012).
A range of social networking sites are being used, although Facebook remains the default service
Two-thirds (66%) of online adults say they have a current social networking site profile, unchanged since 2012 (64%). Nearly all with a current profile (96%) have one on Facebook, although the incidence of having only a Facebook profile has fallen to 43% in 2013 compared to 53% in 2012. Three in ten social networkers say they have a Twitter profile, and one in five say they have a YouTube (22%) or WhatsApp profile (20%). Social networking overall remains a popular pastime, with 60% of users visiting sites more than once a day, an increase from 50% in 2012, and with 83% of 16-24s doing so (69% in 2012).
Twitter users are the most likely to say they follow friends (72%) and then celebrities (45%) and news (also 45%), followed by hobbies and interests (33%). On average, Twitter users say they follow 146 people or organisations, and have 97 followers.
Government processes are carried out online by six in ten online users
Six in ten online users (61%) say they complete government processes online, which is unchanged since 2012. One in eight (13%) say they contact their local councillor or MP online, which is also unchanged since 2012. But there has been a decrease in the frequency of completing government processes online at least quarterly from 33% in 2012 to 28% in 2013.
However, since 2012 there has been a rise in the numbers of people saying they prefer to use email or websites to complete government processes, out of a range of possible types of communication - from 43% in 2012 to 48% in 2013. Those that complete government services online say that it's convenient (84%) and quicker than doing it in person (40%).
User-generated content (UGC) is an information source for online users, although people are more likely to be users than contributors
Ninety-eight per cent of online adults say they use search engines, 59% say they use YouTube for information, and half (51%) use Wikipedia or online recommendations from friends. Four in ten (44%) use user reviews and 38% use closed Facebook groups. Young people aged 16-24 are more likely to use YouTube (75%) and closed Facebook groups (55%) than are all online adults.
Among internet users, search engines are the most important information source (93%), followed by online recommendations (39%) and user reviews (36%). Personal user reviews are rated as more important than reviews by critics or journalists in the wider media (25%).
However, among those who use online review sites, far fewer write reviews than read them. Fifty-six per cent of people who buy things online say they often read user reviews compared to one in ten (11%) who often write them.
Apps are more popular than browsers for various activities
Just under half of mobile phone users (48%) say they download apps on their mobile phone (up from 37% in 2012). Smartphone users have an average of 23 apps on their phones, of which they say they use ten regularly.
There is a clear preference for using apps rather than browsers for gaming and for downloading videos and music, and half of app users who look at news said they prefer to use an app (50% vs. 36% who prefer a browser). However, app users prefer to use browsers for shopping online and for looking for information (50% and 62% respectively).
Two in ten app users have concerns about apps, compared to half (51%) of internet users who have concerns about content on the internet, and just over a third (36%) of TV viewers who have concerns about content on TV.
Attitudes to being online vary by age and online experience
Experiences and attitudes towards being online vary by age group. Younger users are likely to take a more liberal approach to regulation and moderation, and employ a range of strategies to manage their online experience proactively, while older users appear to prefer a more moderated and regulated experience. Attitudes about the desirability of online protection have changed little over time, and a desire for online freedom exists alongside participants' interest in protection.
For example, 44% of internet users agree with the statement: "I should be free to say and do as I want online", while 82% agree that "internet users must be protected from inappropriate or offensive content", a figure which has barely changed since 2005.
Younger users are more likely to agree that they should be free to say what they like online (six in ten (59%) of 16-24s compared to 25% of those aged 65+), although there is no difference by age in terms of agreement about the need for protection.
Related to this, when asked: "Is the internet regulated in terms of what can be shown or written?" almost half (47%) of internet users said that it is regulated, with those aged 45-54 significantly more likely to say this (58%). One in four adults don't know if the internet is regulated, and those aged 16-24 are significantly more likely to say they don't know (35%).
With regard to protecting their identity and personal information online, younger users (aged 16-24) demonstrate a proactive approach to managing their social media experience. Compared to all users, they are more likely to have made their privacy settings on Facebook more private (76% vs. 65% for all users). Social networking site users aged 16-24 are also more likely than all users to block friends (49% vs. 36%) and delete photos that they have posted (32% vs. 22%).
Younger users (aged 16-24) seem aware of how to protect their identity in these ways, and are more likely to agree that they give out inaccurate or false information online to protect their personal identity (34% vs. 26% for all internet users). However, they are also more likely to say they are happy to provide personal information online to companies as long as they get what they want in return (55% versus 42% for all internet users), suggesting some inconsistency in their approach to managing personal information.
Age and gender influence security and safety behaviours and experiences
Differences by age group and gender suggest that depth and breadth of internet use, as well as experience and attitude to risk, may influence people's online safety and security behaviour.
Those aged 65+ are less likely than all internet users to use some online, and most mobile, security features; however, they are also less likely to report having negative online experiences.
In contrast, 79% of those aged 16-24s who go online through a PC/ laptop or netbook use anti-virus software, but are more likely than all adults to say they have experienced a computer virus in the past 12 months (28% vs. 20%). Similarly, almost half of 16-24s use email filters, and again, are more likely than all adults to experience emails being sent without their consent (17% vs. 11%).
Compared to 2012, there are fewer non-users of the internet now, with 12% saying that they don't have access to the internet at home and don't intend to get the internet at home in the next 12 months. In 2012 the proportion was 15%.
While one in ten of those aged 16-44 do not have access at home, around one in three intend to get it in the next 12 months. In contrast, almost all of those aged 55+ who don't have access to the internet at home (20% for 55-64s, 37% for 65-74s and 65% for over-75s) do not intend to get it in the next 12 months (15%, 30% and 59% respectively).
In 2013 over a quarter of non-users made proxy use of the internet. This represents a nine percentage point increase: to 27% from 18% in 2012.

Like millions of older Americans, especially women, Lois Eskind suffered from osteoporosis, which can cause vertebrae to crumble and result in terrible back pain.
Unlike most, Eskind died on the operating table from a heart attack in 2003 minutes after a surgeon injected into her vertebrae a bone cement manufactured, illegally promoted, and tested on unknowing patients by medical device-maker Synthes Inc.
Synthes, which was purchased by Johnson & Johnson in June for $19.7 billion, and its Norian subsidiary pleaded guilty in 2010 to criminal charges and paid $23.5 million in penalties. Synthes was a Swiss-based company at the time, but its U.S. headquarters was in West Chester.

Price, weight, and thickness are the determining factors. Dell is not known for making compact anything.

Louisville will enter next week's BIG EAST Championship at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla., as the No. 1 seed overall for the second straight year. The Cardinals, who have won the last two BIG EAST Tournament titles, will face No. 8 seed West Virginia on Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET in a game that will be aired live in Louisville by KOOL 1570 AM.
The series sweep of Notre Dame, which marked the first time ever the Irish had been swept at home in a three-game BIG EAST Conference series, completed the greatest regular season in school history for the Cardinals, whose 46 wins set a new school record and are six better than last year's previous best of 40. The total is also just one win shy of matching the overall school record for wins of 47, first set by the 2007 World Series squad and matched last season by the Cardinals' 2009 NCAA Super Regional team.
"One of our biggest goals for this season was to win the BIG EAST regular season title and we were able to do that," said Louisville head coach Dan McDonnell, who is now 181-73 in his fourth season with two BIG EAST regular season titles and two BIG EAST Tournament titles. "We have so much respect for this league, as well as the coaches and players in it. Anytime you can win the regular season title, that is a huge accomplishment and I'm very proud of these guys because it's never easy. Now, we'll turn our focus to the post-season, and hopefully, even more great things for this program."
In Saturday's second game, senior shortstop Adam Duvall (Louisville, Ky./Butler HS) led the way with a 3-for-6 performance at the plate, including two home runs and three RBI. It was the fourth time this season Duvall has hit two home runs in a single game, taking his season total to 12. He also hit for the cycle and was 5-for-9 overall with six RBI in the doubleheader sweep of the Irish.
Freshman designated hitter Cade Stallings (Knoxville, Tenn./Farragut HS) and junior outfielder Drew Haynes (New Albany, Ind./New Albany HS) also added three hits each in the win as the Cardinals finished with a season-high 20 hits overall. Stallings was 3-for-3 overall with three RBI, while Haynes was 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored. Four other Louisville players had at least two hits as redshirt sophomore outfielder Stewart Ijames (Owensboro, Ky./Owensboro Catholic HS) was 2-for-4 with an RBI and three runs, junior outfielder Josh Richmond (Cincinnati, Ohio/Oak Hills HS) was 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI, senior first baseman Andrew Clark (New Palestine, Ind./New Palestine HS) finished 2-for-5 with an RBI and sophomore shortstop Ryan Wright went 2-for-5 with a run scored.
On the mound, redshirt freshman righty Justin Amlung (Louisville, Ky./St. Xavier HS) gave the Cardinals another outstanding start with six shutouts innings on just four hits and six strikeouts to earn the win and improve to 5-1 on the season. He has won his last four starts for Louisville, while the six strikeouts on Saturday match a career high.
After learning of Connecticut's home loss to Seton Hall between games in Saturday's doubleheader, the Cardinals fired early aNotre Dame scoring at least a run in six of the first seven innings. Louisville opened an early 1-0 lead in the first inning as Duvall reached base with his 26th double of the season and scored on an RBI double to right field by Clark off Irish starter Eric Maust, who took the loss after allowing three runs on six hits in 3.1 innings.
The Cardinals added another run in the second inning as Richmond reached base with a single to center, moved to second on a single by Stallings and then scored on a throwing error by the Irish for the 2-0 advantage. Following a scoreless third inning, Louisville made it 3-0 in the fourth as Ijames earned a leadoff walk, moved to second with a stolen base and then scored on an RBI single up the middle by Stallings.
An inning later, the Cardinals pushed their lead to 4-0 on the first home run of the day for Duvall, a solo shot to left field off Notre Dame reliever Cole Johnson. Louisville added three runs in the sixth on a two-run double to right center by Stallings and an RBI single to right by Haynes for a commanding 7-0 advantage against the Irish.
The Cardinals kept the pedal down in the seventh with six more runs on six hits for a 13-0 cushion. The scoring in that inning included an RBI double by Ijames, an RBI sacrifice fly by Richmond, an RBI single by freshman Zak Wasserman (Stevensville, Mich./Lakeshore HS), an RBI sacrifice fly by senior catcher Jeff Arnold (Louisville, Ky./Male HS) and a two-run homer by Duvall.
Notre Dame broke through for a run in the bottom of the seventh and a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the ninth for the final 13-3 margin.
Louisville Notes- The 21 conference wins for the Cardinals in 2010 are the most ever for the program since joining the BIG EAST. The previous best was 19, first accomplished in 2007 and again achieved in 2009.
- Saturday marked the sixth time this season the Cardinals have played a doubleheader. They have four sweeps and two splits in those six doubleheaders this season.
- The 20 hits in Saturday's second game surpassed the Cardinals' previous season high of 19 on May 1 in a 24-6 win over Rutgers.
- With their six runs in the seventh inning on Saturday, Louisville has now scored at least five runs in an inning 14 times this season.
- Louisville now leads the all-time series with Notre Dame 11-7.
