A serial crook jailed for stealing £12,000 from a deaf couple who thought he was helping them have children via a surrogate mother in Kenya has been ordered to pay them almost £30,000. Gino Di Caprio, 53, of Rossendale, Lancashire, was ordered to pay more than £14,000 each to Sonia and Neil Musselwhite over the scam which began in June 2011. He must also pay Mr Musselwhite's mother the same amount after conning her and her son out of almost £90,000 by persuading them to invest in bogus property deals in Kenya in a separate scam. Di Caprio told the Musselwhites, who were unable to conceive, that he could arrange for them to have the baby they longed for through his contacts in Kenya. He went with the couple to a fertility clinic in Oxford and pretended to arrange for their eggs and sperm to be sent to the African country, charging them £34 for the carriage. He then took a fee of £6,000 from them for the fabricated surrogacy, before spinning a lie that the child had Down’s Syndrome. He said that the child's condition meant that they would be unable to take it, because of their own disabilities and would also lose their money. A deal for a second baby was reached but DiCaprio extracted more money by saying the child was ill and that there had been visa complications to delay its arrival. He even sent them fake pictures of the baby, called Amy, which he had actually taken from a photographer’s website. Mrs Musselwhite gave up her job in February 2013 to prepare for the child's arrival. Police later discovered this was a picture of Di Caprio's own daughter, called Ellie. After being arrested in September last year, he was jailed for three and a half years in March for four counts of confidence fraud. The scams were said to have left Mr and Mrs Musselwhite emotionally and financially devastated. A hearing to confiscate his assets was due to be held at Reading Crown Court on Friday last week, but did not go ahead because an agreement was made in advance over the amount of money Di Caprio had available to pay back his victims. Di Caprio - who is also deaf - had known Mr and Mrs Musselwhite for almost 20 years and they regarded him as a friend. Mr Musselwhite said DiCaprio attended the Oxford fertility clinic, where he appeared to speak with the receptionist, leading them to believe that eggs and sperm held at the clinic were going to be sent to Kenya . Oscar Del Fabro, prosecuting, told the court on Friday that Di Caprio would have £44,230.59 available to pay back his victims, and that would be split three ways between them. Rebecca Randall, defending, asked for the maximum time to pay because of Di Caprio’s difficulties as a deaf man making the arrangements from prison. Di Caprio was given six months to realise his assets and pay up, with a sentence of 15 months’ imprisonment if he fails to do so within the deadline. During his trial in March, the court heard that he had 11 previous convictions for numerous offences dating back to 1982, including theft, forgery and making false statements. He was jailed for eight years in 1992 for robbing a jeweller while armed and for two years in 1999 for attempting to obtain property by deception." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Neil and Sonia Musselwhite trusted friend of 20 years Gino Di Caprio, 53 .\nWhen couple told him they couldn't conceive, he promised to help out .\nHe pretended to make arrangements for a surrogate mother in Kenya .\nEven took the couple to an Oxford fertility clinic as part of the elaborate con .\nAs they were awaiting baby's arrival, told them child had Down's Syndrome .\nAgreed to arrange second surrogacy, taking £12,000 from them in total .\nAlso conned Mr Musselwhite and his mother in £90,000 property scam .\nHe was jailed for three years and must now pay £15,000 to all three victims ." } ]

But now, Ron Klain is stepping down from the position to return to the private sector, it is reported. The 53-year-old, a former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, will apparently leave his role in the Obama administration by March 1 following a widely-criticized and very short tenure. Instead, he will return to his former job as President of Case Holdings and general counsel for former AOL chief Steve Case's venture firm, Revolution LLC, according to Fortune magazine. Scroll down for video . Stepping down: Ron Klain is stepping down as White House's 'Ebola Czar' to return to the private sector it has been reported. Above, the 53-year-old is pictured speaking at Georgetown University on December 5 . Crisis meeting: Klein (pictured, third right in the back row, two seats along from President Barack Obama, during an Ebola response meeting) will apparently leave his role in the Obama administration by March 1 . 'He has no intention of staying on in any other capacity here at the White House,' an administration official told the magazine. 'Ron will do the job for which he was appointed and return to Revolution.' Klain was tapped by the White House on October 17 to coordinate the federal response to the outbreak of the Ebola, which has so far killed more than 5,000 people, mainly in West Africa. Speaking of Klain's appointment, Mr Case said his employee 'was not eager to take on' the position, but felt it was 'an important thing to do' and understood that 'it would be for a limited period of time'. During his short tenure, Klain was widely condemned for not being visible during the peak of the outbreak of the deadly virus, leaving others, such as President Barack Obama, to face the public. Ex-AOL chief: Klain will return to his job as President of Case Holdings and general counsel for Steve Case's (above) venture firm, Revolution LLC . Indeed, only two weeks out from the midterm elections, the spread of Ebola appeared to be defying official assurances to the American public that the situation was under control. Nurses Nina Pham, 26, and Amber Vinson, 29, contracted the disease after treating Liberian patient Thomas Eric Duncan, 42, who died from the virus on October 2, revealing the flaws in Ebola protocols. And in subsequent days, Congressional calls for a travel ban from the West African nations of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to the U.S. only enhanced public concern toward the outbreak. Then in late October, Dr Craig Spencer made national headlines after he rode the subway, visited a Manhattan restaruant and went bowling in Brooklyn while infected with Ebola. Dr Spencer, 33, was declared virus-free and released from New York's Bellevue Hospital on November 11 following 20 days in isolation. However, while he was in hospital, poll results released by CNN revealed that many Americans felt that Klain was not doing a 'good job' to reassure the public about the Ebola outbreak. Klain was conspicuously absent from several conference calls and meetings, while Conservatives were questioning his credentials - particularly the fact that he had never handled a health crisis before. In defense, the president's spokesman claimed that Klain's position was a managerial one, and his sole responsibility was 'coordinating the whole-of-government approach.' 'He has performed very well in that task,' press secretary Josh Earnest said, adding that the fruits of his labor are 'already being felt, at the White House and across the government'. On November 17, Dr Martin Salia, who contracted Ebola in his native Sierra Leone. died in a Nebraska hospital, bringing the U.S. death toll from the virus to two. But in recent weeks, no new cases have emerged and Ebola has largely faded from the public eye.

Cleared: Nurses Nina Pham (right), 26, and Amber Vinson (left), 29, contracted the disease after treating Mr Duncan, revealing the flaws in Ebola protocols. Both of the nurses have now been cleared of Ebola . Last week, the White House issued a progress report, saying that, under Klain’s leadership, 32 new treatment facilities were designated to deal with Ebola, according to the New York Daily News. Twenty-nine laboratories were also newly equipped to test for the disease, while increased screening measures at U.S. airports were put into place, the report said. And on Sunday, the New York State Department of Health said that there were currently no cases of Ebola in the state. 'Protecting the well-being of New Yorkers is the State’s top priority,' Governor Andrew Cuomo said. 'And we are continuing to exercise an abundance of caution when it comes to dealing with Ebola.' Fading from public view: In recent weeks, no new Ebola cases have emerged and the virus has largely faded from the public eye.

Rumors: There was speculation that Klein would stay on in the White House in another role, potentially as Counselor to the President if John Podesta (pictured) quit to run a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign . Klain's role as 'special government employee' was always meant to be temporary, according to Fortune, with such short-termers typically expected to stay on the job no longer than 130 days.

Five were arraigned: Noah Williams, left, enters the courtroom with his attorney Judy Fallon before his arraignment . Bail was lowered from $200,000 to $50,000 by the Passaic County prosecutor's office. The five were being held at the county jail and appeared in court in prison uniforms. The female student reported last week that she was attacked in a dorm room at William Paterson University and then held against her will. According to the criminal complaint, the five men turned out the lights and used 'physical force or coercion' to attack the victim at the Overlook South residence hall. They then forced her to perform multiple sex acts before they stopped her from leaving the room. Court documents show that the five men arrested were Noah Williams, Garrett Collick , Termaine Scott, Jahmel Latimer and Darius Singleton, who all studied at the University. The men, who are all 18, are facing a range of charges from kidnapping to aggravated criminal sexual contact, and bail has been set at $200,000 for each suspect. According to the Record, which obtained the complaint to police, Latimer is accused of pulling the woman by the hair and forcing her to perform sex acts. The other four men are alleged to have conspired to commit sexual assault, restrained another person unlawfully and exposed them to risk of serious bodily injury. The school's president Kathleen Waldron confirmed that all five of the accused lived at the university and have been 'barred from campus'. In a statement she added: 'My deepest concern is for the victim of this criminal act who has courageously stepped forward to take legal action and seek justice.

Locals: The university in Wayne, New Jersey has a student population of around 11,500. The suspects come from the nearby cities of Jersey City, Camden, Paterson and Vineland . 'No expression of anger or sadness on my part can alleviate the harm done to the victim and my heart goes out to her and her family.' The case comes just weeks after an article in Rolling Stone magazine described an alleged gang rape on campus at a fraternity house at the University of Virginia. The article detailed the alleged sexual assault of a freshman woman by seven men at Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in 2012. The university, in Charlottesville, has suspended all activities of its fraternities, sororities and related groups until January 9 to address sexual violence and assault.

Users of the social network have reported seeing tweets favourited by other people in their own timeline. In addition to this, some members have complained that their feed shows tweets alerting them that an account they follow has followed a new account. Unhappy: Some Twitter users are seeing tweets favourited by other people in their timeline, as well as who they have recently followed. Many people are unhappy with the experiment and are making their views known. Peter Kafka, a journalist at Recode is among users who are seeing the changes (tweet above) Currently, only retweets posted by accounts that someone has personally chosen to follow show up on timelines, as well as advertisements, The Next Web reports. Members have voiced their anger over the ‘experiment’, with many explaining that they were never given the option to opt out of sharing content they had marked as a 'favourite' with their followers. One user said: 'I really, REALLY hate all these new Twitter things',while another vented: 'If I wanted to see what my friends favourite, I could look. I neither want nor need it added to my timeline.' Pictured above is a screenshot taken by Peter Kafka showing notifications of that someone has favourited content and followed accounts on Twitter . The 'favourite' function can be used in a number of ways - it can be employed as a way of acknowledging a tweet and saying thank you, or as a way of saving a message so it is easy to access at a later date. Until now, the action of favouriting a message was more 'private' that retweeting it to followers. Many people have expressed that they simply don’t understand the point of the tweak, arguing that it makes favouriting a tweet the same as retweeting it. The experiment is thought to have been taking place for around a month and commentators say it is unlikely to roll out in its current form. It is currently unclear how many users are seeing the change in their timeline and are sharing their 'favourite' tweets whether they want to or not. MailOnline asked Twitter whether it plans to extend the reach of the experiment and was directed to a blog post about the company's experiments written last year. The blog post, says: ‘We’ve tested various features with small groups of our 200 million users before determining what we’ll release. These tests are essential to delivering the best possible user experience. ‘We also experiment with features that may never be released to everyone who uses Twitter. Those experiments are perhaps even more valuable because they help us decide what not to do - which is important as we work to keep Twitter simple while improving the user experience. ‘Ultimately, our goal is to learn and keep making the product better; we aren’t necessarily looking to launch all of the experiments we roll out.’ Twitter has now updated its help page to shed light on timeline changes. It reads: 'When we identify a Tweet, an account to follow, or other content that's popular or relevant, we may add it to your timeline. 'This means you will sometimes see Tweets from accounts you don't follow. We select each Tweet using a variety of signals, including how popular it is and how people in your network are interacting with it. Our goal is to make your home timeline even more relevant and interesting.' Some people who have been affected by the experimental changes are unhappy (such as the twitter user above) although it is not known if the changes will be rolled out widely . Twitter users such as Nils (above) may hope that the experiment will be encourage Twitter to largely stay the same and help it decide 'what not to do'. The company says in a blog post that it has used experiments to decide upon future features before . Twitter has been leapfrogged by Snapchat, which is not the third most used social media app. Almost a third of 18 to 24-year-olds now use the self-destructing messaging app, compared to 24 per cent who use Twitter . As well as news of an unpoular experiment, last week it was reported that Twitter has been leapfrogged by Snapchat to become the third most used social media app. Almost a third of 18 to 24-year-olds now use the self-destructing messaging app, which is more than double the amount of users the company had in November. Facebook still reigns as the most popular, however, with more than 75 per cent of millennials using it, closely followed by Instagram with 43 per cent. Snapchat's popularity is also growing among 25 to 34-year-olds, and in the over 35 age group - albeit more slowly than among the the younger age group. The figures were taken from comScore’s June Mobile Metrix report. Vine is used by 10.7 per cent of millennials, and Pinterest is just above on 17.9 per cent. Google sits in fifth on 18 per cent. comScore's vice president, marketing and insights, Andrew Lipsman wrote: 'Long term success in the social media sector is no given. 'Achieving critical mass is an important step in eventually reaching the winner’s circle, and with Snapchat it would appear to be right in that sweet spot.

He was more disappointed than anyone else over the summer and it’s about fitting into the team and getting used to playing at the highest level. 'Kyle is a Jason Robinson-style player, so I think he should be paired with someone like Billy Twelvetrees who is solid and steady or Brad Barritt who is even more solid and steady. 'It’s a tricky one for Stuart and there is also someone like Jonathan Joseph pushing for game-time, but there are some good conundrums for him.' England World Cup winning coach Sir Clive Woodward has called on Saracens’ playmaker Owen Farrell – Lancaster’s current first choice fly-half – to be given an extended run in the No.12 jersey. It seems unlikely Lancaster will move Farrell though this autumn, meaning one of Barritt or Twelvetrees will likely start in the autumn. Moody admits he can see the sense in opting for a tried and trusted approach of Barritt or Twelvetrees in midfield but insists neither are the long-term solution to Lancaster’s centre conundrum. He added: 'Billy really controls a game well and he’s taken his chances in an England shirt, so I think he deserves to be in the squad.

'But he’s not the future going forward for England – I think he’s a short-term solution. However, Stuart knows that Billy will do a job for him if he’s needed and there’s value to that. 'It’s a similar situation to Brad Barritt – neither of them are the answer but they are secure, solid players who can do a job and that’s maybe what Stuart needs in this first game against the best team in the world.

The discovered that insects on a single stretch of road consumed more than 2,100 pounds of discarded junk food, the equivalent of 60,000 hot dogs. They say the study shows just how important insects are to cities. The team discovered that on one stretch of Broadway insects consumed more than 2,100 pounds of discarded junk food, the equivalent of 60,000 hot dogs. To see how much the arthropods ate, the researchers put out carefully measured amounts of junk food - potato chips, cookies and hot dogs - at sites in street medians and city parks. Researchers placed two sets of food at each site. One set was placed in a cage, so only arthropods could reach the food; the second set was placed in the open, where other animals could also eat it. After 24 hours, the scientists collected the food to see how much was eaten. The new study from North Carolina State University shows that arthropods - ants, millipedes, mites, spiders and others - play a significant role in disposing of garbage on the streets of Manhattan. 'We calculate that the arthropods on medians down the Broadway/West St. corridor alone could consume more than 2,100 pounds of discarded junk food, the equivalent of 60,000 hot dogs, every year - assuming they take a break in the winter,' says Dr. Elsa Youngsteadt, a research associate at NC State and lead author of a paper on the work. 'This isn't just a silly fact,' Youngsteadt explains. 'This highlights a very real service that these arthropods provide. 'They effectively dispose of our trash for us.' During the summer of 2013, the researchers working in parks and on streets in Manhattan measured temperature and humidity and sampled the population of arthropods. They also sifted through the leaf litter and sucked ants into an aspirator by hand. They extracted 16,294 bugs, including representatives of 32 species of ants. To see how much the arthropods ate, the researchers put out carefully measured amounts of junk food - potato chips, cookies and hot dogs - at sites in street medians and city parks. Researchers placed two sets of food at each site. One set was placed in a cage, so only arthropods could reach the food; the second set was placed in the open, where other animals could also eat it. After 24 hours, the scientists collected the food to see how much was eaten. The researchers were in the midst of a long-term study of urban insects when Hurricane Sandy struck NYC in 2012. In spring 2013, they expanded their study to look at whether Sandy had affected the behaviour of these insect populations. To see how much the arthropods ate, the researchers put out carefully measured amounts of junk food - potato chips, cookies and hot dogs - at sites in street medians and city parks. The researchers found that Hurricane Sandy had no measurable impact on food consumption by arthropod populations in New York, which was somewhat surprising since many of the study sites had been flooded with brackish water. The bigger surprise was that arthropod populations in medians ate two to three times more junk food than those in parks - even though there was less biodiversity in the medians. 'We think this is because one of the most common species in the medians was the pavement ant (Tetramorium species), which is a particularly efficient forager in urban environments,' Youngsteadt says. In addition, by comparing food consumption inside and outside of the sample cages, the researchers showed that other animals - such as rats and pigeons - were also eating the junk food. 'This means that ants and rats are competing to eat human garbage, and whatever the ants eat isn't available for the rats,' Youngsteadt explains. 'The ants aren't just helping to clean up our cities, but to limit populations of rats and other pests.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Researchers studied the Broadway/West St. corridor in Manhattan .\nInsects consumed more than 2,100 pounds of discarded junk food .\nAlso found 16,294 bugs, including representatives of 32 species of ants ." } ]

Much will depend on whether Wladimir Klitschko honours Fury’s status as mandatory challenger for his WBO title. But with Fury admitting significant doubts that the Ukrainian great will meet him next summer, Sportsmail has been told Joshua’s team are now actively considering the possibility of a fight that would pose an enormous challenge in what has so far been a devastating surge through the professional ranks. Anthony Joshua (left) is hoping to take on Tyson Fury in summer 2015 in what will be his biggest test yet . Fury (right) demolished Dereck Chisora (left) at the weekend and has his sights set on world titles . Joshua v Fury would be an all-English blockbuster with both unbeaten in 10 and 23 fights respectively . Age: 25 (Watford) Fights: 10 Wins: 10 . Losses: 0 KOs: 10 . Age: 26 (Manchester) Fights: 23 Wins: 23 . Losses: 0 KOs: 17 . Whatever reservations there might have been over Joshua’s readiness for a dangerous opponent such as Fury seem to have all but disappeared, with both men extending their unbeaten records to 10 and 23 fights respectively in the past fortnight. Joshua, 25, will on Wednesday hold a press conference to discuss his January 31 fight with America’s Kevin Johnson at London’s 02 Arena – a bout first revealed by Sportsmail in October. A huge match-up with one of the most divisive figures in the sport would then possibly take place at the O2 in London, with each man certain to land the biggest paydays of their careers to date. Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, wrote in his MailOnline column: ‘Tyson Fury is on the horizon for next summer. 'We are moving towards the inevitable, which is a fight with Fury and the other top domestic fighters. It's going to be great times for British boxing. 'I watched the main event from the show at the ExCel at the weekend and I have to say Fury-Dereck Chisora (which Fury won when Chisora retired at the end of the 10th) was one of the dullest heavyweight fights I have seen. Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn says a Fury bout for the young heavyweight is inevitable . 'Fury is a great character and a quality fighter but do you really see him coping with Anthony’s power, speed and work rate? Do you not think Anthony would have blasted Chisora out of there far earlier? 'People ask if AJ is ready to fight Fury but, to be honest, is Fury ready to fight AJ? I believe this is a fight that will bring both men to new levels in terms of financial rewards. It's a numbers game and these numbers add up.' Klitschko remains a significant obstacle to the fight, with the 38-year-old expected to defend his WBO, WBA and IBF belts in March. He would then have four months to fight Fury, 26, whose convincing yet unspectacular dismantling on Chisora made him the mandatory challenger for the WBO strap. Fury is convinced Klistchko will sidestep him before retiring, saying: ‘I believe he’s got one or two more fights. I don’t believe he’s going to fight me. ‘He will fight some American and he will probably try to get the unification fight with (WBC champion) Bermane Stiverne. ‘He will probably beat Stiverne and then retire as a great, great champion. If he does that, good luck to him. If he doesn’t, I’m here. Fury's win came after Chisora retired at the end of the 10th round at the Excel in London . Joshua (left) batters Michael Sprott at Liverpool's Echo Arena on his way to a first round win in November . ‘He’s made around 20 title defences - he’s ruled the division for a long time. It’s time for new blood in the division and that new blood is me.’ That much is open to debate, such has been Joshua’s rapid and dramatic rise since turning professional after winning gold in the London Olympics. Only one of Joshua’s 10 fights to date has reached the third round, with faded former European champion Michael Sprott demolished within two minutes in his last outing on November 22. Johnson will surely provide more of a test, having gone the distance with Vitali Klitschko, Fury and Chisora. There is then the possibility of a final fight before he steps in with Fury in what would be one of the most anticipated match-ups in British boxing’s recent history. Fury used his Twitter account in October to challenge Joshua to meet him in the ring, with the giant Mancunian desperate to fight more regularly after missing out on a £5million payday when David Haye pulled out of their scheduled fight last year." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Anthony Joshua's camp is hoping to make fight against Tyson Fury .\nFury is mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko's heavyweight titles .\nWith question marks over that bout happening, Joshua hopes to step in .\nJoshua fights Kevin Johnson at London’s O2 Arena on January 31 .\nAnthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: Plan underway for Battle of Britain ." } ]

Keith Wiens, who has been charged with second degree murder in the 2011 killing of his common law wife Lynn Kalmring, said in court in British Columbia that he only killed her because he feared for his life. On August 11, 2011 - the night that Kalmring died - the two had played a Ninetendo Wii video game after drinking alcohol and eating dinner. Dangerous games: Wiens, left, killed his wife Kalmring, right, after he refused to fulfill the terms of a bet hedged during a Wii game . Wiens said they usually waged bets of a sexual nature, and that Kalmring had won the game that night. Bet: Apparently the deadly fight started over a risque game of Wii . Later, when he went to bed, Wiens found sex toys scattered across his pillow. Wiens, who wanted to get rest before a golf game the next day, pushed the toys aside and tried to go to sleep. That's when Kalmring became upset. Wiens said that she confronted him multiple times and then suggested that he didn't want to have sex because he wasn't attracted to her and that he wanted to go to work in Grand Prairie to get out of their relationship. 'I said \"No, it's nothing to do with that. I love you. I just need to get some sleep,\"' Wiens said. He went back to rest, but Kalmring wouldn't give up. He told her to go sleep in the spare room and thought that worked until he was woken up later by Kalmring hitting him. Something had changed, Wiens noticed. And he began to fear for his life. 'She was not Lynn. She was crazy and she'd just assaulted me when I was sound asleep, and I was worried about what was coming next,' he recalled. So he pulled out the handgun he kept in his bedside table for protection. When Kalmring burst through the bedroom again, this time with a knife, Wiens shot her once in the head. He then says that he put his gun back in his holster and went to throw up in the bathroom. He called 911, got dressed and waited for police outside. Shot dead: Wiens said Kalmring came at him with a knife, and that's why he shot her . According to Wiens, this was the first fight that the couple ever had. But the prosecution and experts found faults in Wiens testimony. First of all, it wasn't the first fight. Crown counselor Colin Forsyth pointed out that they had been in an argument before when Wiens stopped Kalmring from breaking into Willie Nelson's dressing room at a concert and flashing her breasts. 'That's the only time we had a disagreement with each other,' Wiens said. A forensic pathologist also found it strange that Kalmring was found with the knife in her hand. If she was shot she would have dropped the knife, or if she grasped it as she fell to the floor, it wouldn't have been easy to pry from her hands. 'I didn't touch Lynn in anyway, shape or form,' Wiens responded.

Holding a family member close he calls others on his cell phone to tell them he will shortly be arriving at their home in Dallas. It follows a journey he was only able to make after he allegedly lied on an airport questionnaire in Liberia about not having any contact with a person infected with the deadly disease. Scroll down for video . Arrival: Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan, 42 greets a woman and phones his family after landing at Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport on September 20th . Dressed in a traditional African costume and with her hair-styled especially for the happy occasion the relative appears pleased to see him. Looking healthy Mr Duncan shows no signs of the potentially fatal Ebola virus that struck him down just days after he arrived in the USA. Today the 42-year-old is fighting for his life at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas after doctors confirmed his medical condition had dramatically altered from serious to critical. Texas Health Resources, which runs the hospital, said in a statement: 'Mr Duncan is in a critical condition.' However the relative – who MailOnline have decided not to name – appears to have initially been in denial about the risk to her health after her extended family and friends contacted her following Mr Duncan's hospital admission last week. A friend told MailOnline: 'She is the one who went to pick Thomas Eric Duncan up from the airport. 'They greeted each other, they hugged and held each other, which is only normal. They were pleased to see each other. 'But now everyone has been asking her about what has happened. 'And she has replied; \"my Daddy does not have Ebola.\" 'She said; \"Everyone should stop calling me because my dad does not have Ebola.\" Document: A photo shows a copy of a passenger health screening form filled out by Thomas Eric Duncan and handed to the Liberian Airport Authority. Officials in the country say they plan to prosecute him . The relative was urged to undergo medical tests to see if she had become infected by the virus. But she appeared to be reluctant to do so. The friend told MailOnline: 'She was meant to go for a medical check-up because she was one of the people who had been with him [Thomas Duncan], but she did not.' It is unclear whether the relative – who is in a stable relationship and has three young children – has since been to see a doctor. Mr Duncan arrived in Texas on September 20th after passing through two of the busiest airports in the USA - at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and Dulles International Airport in Washington DC. The Liberian national had earlier passed through Brussels International in Belgium on a flight from the African state's capital Monrovia. Authorities have claimed he posed no danger to his fellow travelers or anyone who later boarded those planes because he was not displacing any symptoms of the Ebola virus at the time and was therefore not contagious. Home: After leaving the airport, the 42-year-old went to this apartment in Dallas where he stayed with four members of his family. Hazmat teams decontaminated the area a week after he was diagnosed with Ebola . However the 42-year-old helped to carry pregnant daughter of a neighbour who was dying of Ebola prior to the journey. Mr Duncan had come to Dallas to marry the mother of his estranged son, Louise Troh, which would have paved the way for him to stay in the USA permanently, it has emerged. Mark Wingfield, pastor at the Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, where Ms Troh worships, told MailOnline: 'Louise told our senior pastor on Thursday. The 42-year-old, who is understood to have arrived in the USA on a tourist visa, met Ms Troh in Liberia many years ago, according to Wilshire Baptist church pastor George Mason. He said: 'They had this child. They had a falling out, and she came to the [United] States.' The child, Kasiah Duncan, also came to the USA and this week said he had not seen his father since he was aged three. He is a 19-year-old college student at Angelo State University in San Angelo. Relocated: Two of Duncan's relatives who were quarantined inside the apartment are seen leaving and being moved to another, undisclosed location . Mr Mason added: 'The son hasn't really seen his father for many years. 'I think [Duncan] was seeking reconciliation and hoping they might marry.' Ms Troh visited the Liberian capital Monrovia, where Mr Duncan was living, in August this year, according to her Facebook page. Louise Troh's ex-husband Joe Joe Jallah, who met Mr Duncan before he was admitted to hospital, told the Wall Street Journal, that he believed this was his first trip to the USA. Mr Duncan arrived in Texas on September 20. He began showing symptoms of Ebola three days after his arrival and was admitted to Texas Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday. Texas health officials have said about 100 people may have come into contact with Mr Duncan. And today they announced nine family members and health-care workers had had direct exposure to the Ebola patient and that none has had any symptoms of the disease. Separately, five public school children who had possibly been exposed to the Ebola patient had been kept home from class in recent days while being monitored as a precaution, though none had shown any symptoms, said Mike Miles, superintendent of the Dallas Independent School District. Fears: Officers hand out facemasks at Newark Liberty Airport today, where it was feared a passenger had Ebola. It later turned out he did not . Ebola scare cases are sweeping the nation, with more than 100 potential victims reported to authorities by hospitals in the last few days. Health workers are on high alert for anybody with links to West Africa - where the disease has killed thousands - who show Ebola-like symptoms, which include vomiting, bleeding and diarrhea. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has been deluged by reports of potential sufferers - but so far none have turned out to be genuine Ebola victims. Today Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the rush of potential cases came after news of Duncan's infection spread to hospitals, who have been especially vigilant. The first Ebola diagnosis in the United States 'has really increased attention to what health workers need to do to be alert and make sure a travel history is taken,' Frieden told a news conference. Quarantined: Thomas Eric Duncan is being treated in isolation in Texas Presbyterian in Dallas . Frieden added that many of the inquiries involved people who had not traveled from West Africa, but that the agency preferred healthcare workers to cast as wide a net as possible. Today hazmat crews and disease control officials swooped on a plane this afternoon amid Ebola fears prompted by a Liberian man who started vomiting on a flight to Newark Liberty airport. Passengers were held for hours as the man - thought to be 35 - and his young daughter were rushed off the plane to hospital. Doctors later confirmed that neither of them has the deadly virus. Hospital authorities said the man, believed to be around 35, instead has an unrelated disease which is easily treatable. His daughter, believed to be 10, was also taken to hospital amid fears she was carrying the fatal virus. But she showed no symptoms of any illness at all, doctors said. The governments of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are struggling to contain the worst outbreak on record of the deadly hemorrhagic fever. The World Health Organization on Friday updated its death toll to at least 3,439 out of 7,492 suspected, probable or confirmed cases.

The Queens Park Rangers defender had reacted to online provocation by using the word ‘sket’ in a post about the person’s mother. Sket is a Caribbean word meaning a whore or a promiscuous girl or woman. Failure to admit the charge may have counted against the 35-year-old, who recently served on FA chairman Greg Dyke’s England commission. The tweet may also have been considered a second offence, given it is only two years since Ferdinand was fined £45,000 for referring to Ashley Cole as a ‘choc ice’. Queens Park Rangers defender Rio Ferdinand has been given a three-game suspension by the FA . Ferdinand has been charged for this tweet, made on September 1, for using the slang term 'sket' VIDEO Ferdinand banned for Twitter taunt . According to various dictionaries, 'sket' is a Caribbean term for a whore, and the FA received a number of complaints from members of the public. Ferdinand failed to respond to the initial charge on October 14, something which is believed to have contributed to the length of the ban imposed by the FA. He is understood to be unhappy about the severity of the punishment given that his legal representatives did communicate with the FA over the issue. Ferdinand posted the offending tweet on September 1 and Sportsmail understands the FA received a letter from London law firm Mishcon de Reya on September 10. The letter stated that they did not believe their client had committed an offence but did stress he would be more careful with his comments on social media. The defender, pictured here playing for QPR against West Ham United, has until October 21 to respond . Why Ferdinand did not then respond to the FA’s charge is for him to explain. But it may have been fuelled by a sense that there is a lack of consistency with these cases. Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore faced no action from the FA earlier this year over a series of emails that contained sexist comments, and the FA have yet to charge Malky Mackay and Iain Moody over an exchange of emails and tweets that contained sexist as well as racist and homophobic remarks. The FA would no doubt point to the difference between private correspondence and comments made on social media. But the law would not see a distinction, particularly once private communications are made public. Ferdinand was considering an appeal on Wednesday night. But if he accepts the punishment he will miss three matches with immediate effect and have to attend an education programme. An FA statement said they considered Ferdinand’s to be an aggravated offence because his tweet included a reference to gender. A statement on the FA website said: 'Queens Park Rangers defender Rio Ferdinand has been suspended for three matches commencing with immediate effect, subject to any appeal, after an FA misconduct charge against him was found proven. Ferdinand is active on social media, with 5.9million followers on his Twitter page and over 14,500 tweets . 'It was alleged a comment Ferdinand posted on his twitter account was abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper. 'It was further alleged that this breach was aggravated pursuant to FA Rule E3(2) as the comment included a reference to gender. 'Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Wednesday 29 October, Ferdinand was also fined £25,000, severely warned as to his future conduct and ordered to attend an education programme, arranged by The FA within four months.' But this is becoming a complex area for the FA when Ferdinand will be only too aware that in recent months the governing body took no action against either Premier League chief executive Scudamore or FA referees chief David Elleray over discrimination issues. Ferdinand (right) is alleged to have 'included a reference to gender' and has been charged with misconduct . The FA have charged Ferdinand, despite the fact that he has been a member of FA chairman Greg Dyke's England commission. He was even linked recently with the post of FIFA vice-president. Ferdinand's profile is huge. He has 5.9million Twitter followers and embraces social media to such an extent that he launched a chapter of his new book on Facebook. He is also an ambassador for BT Sport — indeed he was involved in a BT Sport event with presenter Jake Humphrey in London on Tuesday night — and has worked as a pundit for the BBC. Both BT Sport and the BBC declined to comment, but a tweet from Gary Lineker was fairly representative of the wider response. The Match of the Day presenter said: 'Thanks to @rioferdy5 I've just learnt a new word. The most surprising aspect of his charge is that the FA knew what a 'sket' was.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Queens Park Rangers defender Rio Ferdinand charged with misconduct .\nThe former Manchester United man has been banned for three games .\nThe suspension comes into effect immediately but can be appealed .\nFerdinand has been fined £25,000 and severely warned about his conduct .\nHe must attend an FA education programme within four months .\nThe Football Association announced the charge on its official website .\nHe is alleged to have breached FA Rule E3(2) on 'reference to gender'\nIn the tweet, Ferdinand used slang term 'sket' to refer to someone's mother ." } ]

Previous reports stated the device will be cross-platform, meaning it will sync with iOS, Android and Windows-based phones - and it may even have its display on the inside of the wrist. Scroll down for video . The Washington-based firm is expected to launch ‘within the next few weeks’ to make sure it’s available in time for Christmas, with rumours suggesting it will have a two-day battery life. Previous reports and patent files (pictured) stated the device will be cross-platform, meaning it will sync with iOS, Android and Windows phones . This would make the watch more 'natural' to use, and the screen would be visible by turning the wrist upwards. The latest claims were reported by Forbes over the weekend, and Microsoft has not yet responded to MailOnline’s request for comment. Rumours about the device began earlier this year, when a series of patent applications went public. Both the patents were originally filed back in 2012. The first, titled Discreetly Displaying Contextually Relevant Information on a display device, shows a smartwatch displaying notifications and GPS navigation. Nothing has been officially confirmed by Microsoft yet, but previous rumours claim: . The watch will have a removable band that will come in a red, black, yellow and blue. It will be made of oxynitride aluminium - a translucent form of the metal. Microsoft's smartwatch is also said to run a version of Windows 8. Prototypes of the device are being tested by the Surface team and the watch could have the connector featured on the tablet. A source close to the plans has said the device will launch in October, and it could have its display on the inside of the wrist. It is also expected to work across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS and Windows PC. The second, called Dynamic User Interfaces Adapted to Inferred User Contexts, shows how Microsoft plans to add sensors to track the level of activity the wearer is doing - from sitting down to running. This second patent also explained that the interface would react to varying activity levels in different ways. Both patents show wrist worn devices that connect with a phone or other smart device, and are fitted with built-in heart rate monitors, accelerometers and GPS units. Although this technology is not new, Microsoft's patents pre-date current devices on the market – including Apple’s Watch. The claims made about Microsoft’s smartwatch battery life, if true, may set it apart from Apple’s proprietary device. Most existing smartwatches on the market, such as Pebble and MetaWatch, tend to last up to a week on a single charge. The closest Apple boss Tim Cook came to talking about the battery life for the Watch at an event last month was saying users would ‘charge it at night.’ The company's chief executive added that the Apple Watch ‘can be worn all day, for any occasion,’ but hourly figures were notably absent. Sources also claimed Microsoft's gadget wouldn't be as bulky as Samsung's range of smartwatches, or the Moto 360. Instead, it is expected to be sleeker, thinner, and more closely resemble a fitness band, such as the Nike Fuelband (pictured) and Fitbit’s Flex .

A source said Apple is unhappy with the watch's battery life, while another source confirmed that that the battery life ‘is about a day now.’ The initial rumours about an October launch for Microsoft’s device originated from website Tom’s Hardware, which stated that a ‘trusted source with knowledge of the development’ confirmed the release, and that the phone will work across multiple platforms. At the moment, Samsung’s range of smartwatches and Apple’s first wearable only work with their own handsets. Future versions of Microsoft's smartwatch may also feature the firm's Analog Keyboard Project that lets a user draw letters, numbers and even symbols in the middle of watch, which are then registered by the device. The prototype, reported by Gizmodo, is currently compatible both with square Android watches and the circular Moto 360 so far. The handwriting method allows the whole screen to be used for each character, rather than classic typing methods where part of the screen must be obscured. This leaves room on the left for a large backspace button, and on the right for a space bar button. But for now, only lowercase English letters, numbers and basic punctuation symbols can be used.

Detroit’s season has been plagued with kicking woes, and Matt Prater looked as though he had blown it by scuffing a 43-yard field goal attempt wide of the right upright. But with four seconds on the clock, he was handed a second chance due to a delay of game penalty. This time, he made no mistake from 48-yards and sent the Lions to 6-2.

As it happened, neither showed up at Wembley. But Golden Tate did, putting on 151 receiving yards and a breathtaking 59-yard touchdown to give the Lions a foothold in the third quarter. It was his fourth 110-yard plus outing in five games as the Super Bowl-winner continues to thrive in Detroit after his move from Seattle. While Matt Ryan gave glimpses of why he is the tenth best-paid athlete on the planet in the first half, he faded badly, throwing two interceptions. Stud receiver Julio Jones also dropped a straightforward catch to hand the Lions the chance to steal the game. Matt Stafford, missing three tight ends and his favourite target, had struggled, throwing wildly and failing to find wide open receivers. But like last week’s come-from-behind victory against the Saints, when it mattered, Stafford produced a game-winning final drive from Detroit’s seven yard line.

The Falcons, who suffered a fifth straight defeat, will look long and hard at themselves after this shattering loss. With a battered offensive line, there were fears that Mike Smith’s men would be eaten alive by one of the NFL’s most fearsome front sevens. After all, they had mustered just 20 points in their last two games. But it didn’t start like that, as Ryan surgically sliced apart the Lions from the off. A strong opening drive saw little interior pressure from the Lions’ front four. Allowed ample time in the pocket, Ryan marched up the field, connecting with Jones, White and Levine Toilolo before Devonta Freeman clutched the ball from the air one-handed for a seven-yard touchdown pass. It was the first time the Lions conceded had a touchdown in the first half for four games.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tate (left) celebrates a touchdown with wide receiver Jeremy Ross (right) in the second half . After Stafford’s opening drive stalled, Ryan was on the move again. Using a variety of receivers, the returning Harry Douglas made a key interception on third and eight, and the Falcons were perched in the Red Zone. Ryan made it look easy, finding a tip-toeing Bear Pascoe wide open for his first Atlanta touchdown. By the end of the first quarter, the crowd were stunned. Ryan was almost faultless, completing nine out of ten passes for 104 yards with two touchdowns. Joique Bell (centre) of the Detroit Lions runs at the Falcons defence during the NFL match at Wembley . The second quarter brought more misery for Detroit with Nick Fairley suffering an injury to his right knee. As the giant defensive tackle grappled with Ryan, team-mate Ndamukong Suh fell into his leg. Fairley hobbled off with a suspected MCL tear. And the Lions slipped further behind just before the break. Steven Jackson became the 19th athlete to eclipse the 11,000-yard rushing barrier and went over on the next down to make it a three-score game. If all the talk at half-time was of another Wembley blowout, whatever was said in the Lions locker room worked. Using screen passes to great success, they avoided a blowout thanks to Matt Prater’s field goal, and Stafford combined with Tate with that sensational 59-yard touchdown to bring the loudest cheer of the afternoon. On third and 35, Stafford scrambled and bought himself time before lobbing a laser to Tate, who had eluded Atlanta’s shoddy secondary. Breathtaking stuff.

It was Stafford’s 119th touchdown pass in Lions history, a franchise record. As Atlanta continued to implode, Detroit reduced the deficit further with another Prater field goal. And the gap was cut to two points after Stafford found Theo Riddick for a five-yard touchdown. Stafford failed to connect with Tate for the two-point conversion but they got the ball back after Jones’ costly drop. Both teams head into a mid-season bye and while the flight home will be a jubilant one for Detroit, one imagines it will be a sombre mood on the plane to Georgia.

Eric Holthaus, a meteorologist who has covered weather for the Wall Street Journal, cried over the phone to his wife before getting on a plane, vowing it will be the last time he flies . Holthaus was reacting to findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which released a report on Friday that found it is \"extremely likely\" that humans are causing warming trends .

According . to another tweet from Holthaus, the Dutch artist known as Tinkebell, . who calls attention to animal rights issues through works that use the . remains of dead animals, had herself sterilised last week for a similar . reason. Holthaus, who now writes for Quartz, has decided he will also reduce his carbon footprint by giving up on air travel. ‘I just broke down in tears in boarding area at SFO while on phone with my wife. I've never cried because of a science report before. #IPCC,’ was his first tweet on around 2pm on Friday. ‘I realised just now: This has to be the last flight I ever take. I’m committing right now to stop flying. It’s not worth the climate,’ he tweeted a few minutes later. 'Broke down': Holthaus' first tweet after reading the report . 'Last flight': He commits to stop flying . No other way: He asks people to do everything they can to reverse carbon emissions . Devotion: The weatherman says people should spend all their energy on the issue of climate change . Extinct: Holthaus says he is happy to do it even though the thought makes him sad . Adios babies: He says the decision to not have children is 'emotional' Vasectomy: His last tweet toys with the idea of getting sterilised . Scientists say human activity is the dominant cause of global warming, a long-term trend that is clear despite a recent plateau in the temperatures. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change used its strongest language yet in the report on the causes of climate change, prompting calls for global action to control emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. ‘If this isn't an alarm bell, then I don't know what one is. If ever there were an issue that demanded greater cooperation, partnership, and committed diplomacy, this is it,’ said US Secretary of State John Kerry. US Secretary of State John Kerry said the report was 'an alarm bell' The IPCC, which has 195 member countries, adopted the report Friday after all-night talks at a meeting in Stockholm. In its previous assessment, in 2007, the U.N.-sponsored panel said it was ‘very likely’ that global warming was due to human activity, particularly the CO2 emissions resulting from the burning of coal, oil and gas. The change means that scientists have moved from being 90 per cent sure to 95 per cent - about the same degree of certainty they have that smoking kills. 'At 90 percent it means there is a 10 percent probability that it's not entirely correct,' said Chris Field, Carnegie Institution scientist who is a leader in the IPCC but wasn't involved in the report released Friday. 'And now that's 5 per cent. So it's a doubling of our confidence. That's actually a consequential change in our level of understanding.' One of the most controversial . subjects in the report was how to deal with what appears to be a . slowdown in warming if you look at temperature data for the past 15 . years. Climate . skeptics say this 'hiatus' casts doubt on the scientific consensus on . climate change, even though the past decade was the warmest on record. In . the end, the IPCC made only a brief mention of the issue in the summary . for policymakers, stressing that short-term records are sensitive to . natural variability and don't in general reflect long-term trends. The IPCC raised its projections of the rise in sea levels to 10-32 inches (26-82 centimeters) by the end of the century, compared to previous reports predicting a rise of 7-23 inches (18-59 centimeters) 'An . old rule says that climate-relevant trends should not be calculated for . periods less than around 30 years,' said Thomas Stocker, co-chair of . the group that wrote the report. The IPCC said the evidence of climate . change has grown thanks to more and better observations, a clearer . understanding of the climate system and improved models to analyse the . impact of rising temperatures. The . full 2,000-page report isn't going to be released until Monday, but the . summary for policymakers with the key findings was published Friday. It . contained few surprises as many of the findings had been leaked in . advance. As expected, the IPCC raised its projections of the rise in sea levels to 10-32 inches (26-82 centimeters) by the end of the century. The previous report predicted a rise of 7-23 inches (18-59 centimeters). Using four scenarios with different emissions controls, the report projected that global average temperatures would rise by 0.3 to 4.8 degrees C this century. That's 0.5-8.6 F. The report adopted Friday deals with the physical science of climate change. Next year, the IPCC will adopt reports on the impacts of global warming, strategies to fight it and a synthesis of all three reports." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Eric Holthaus, who used to do weather for Wall Street Journal, was reacting to Friday's findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change .\nScientists found in the report that it was 'extremely likely' that humans are causing warming trends .\nHolthaus said he has decided not to have children in order to leave a lighter carbon footprint, and has considered having a vasectomy .\nHe tweeted on Friday 'no children, happy to go extinct'\nThe weatherman also said he is committed to stop flying as 'it's not worth the climate'\nUS Secretary of State, John Kerry, calls the report 'an alarm bell'\nIt means scientists have moved from being 90 per cent sure to 95 per cent sure regarding global warming ." } ]

A man who tried to squeeze a £5million fee from the sale of the house that inspired Toad Hall was told he 'lives in a parallel universe' by a High Court judge in London yesterday. Richard Butler-Creagh hoped to make millions by acting as an intermediary in the sale of Fawley Court near Henley-on-Thames in Buckinghamshire. And yesterday he went to court to sue the company set up to buy the 17th Century pile for the disputed £5million fee. But Mr Justice Eady threw out the legal action against Aida Hersham and . Cherrilow Limited after he found that Mr Butler-Creagh had constructed an elaborate scheme to convince the defendants . to pay him millions for doing 'effectively nothing'. He said the case was rife with allegations of dishonesty with each side accusing the other of forging documents and Ms Hersham and Cherrilow characterising Mr Butler-Creagh as a 'confidence trickster' and 'middle man' fraudster. Mr Butler-Creagh had acquired the contract for the grand . house - thought to have been designed by Christopher Wren - from the . Marian Fathers, a Roman Catholic order, for £22.5million in 2008. He . claimed Ms Hersham, an Iranian heiress living in Belgravia, London, . owed him a £5million 'facilitating fee' after he agreed to let her 'step . into his shoes' and buy the impressive property. The grand Fawley Court was reputedly Kenneth . Grahame's inspiration for Toad Hall in his 1908 classic The Wind In The . Willows. Ms Hersham denied that there had been any such agreement. Cherrilow eventually bought the stunning country property for £13million. Mr Justice Eady threw out the action after finding Mr Butler-Creagh had failed to establish his case, adding that it was clear the developer had a scheme in mind. The judge said it was clear Mr Butler-Creagh did not have the means to buy the property on his own and had instead planned to bring someone else in to provide the funding. He added: 'He was then to take a turn or commission by placing himself . between that person and the Marian Fathers. 'He saw the opportunity to make £5million for doing effectively nothing.' 'In order to achieve that, he would . have to deceive both the Marian Fathers, by giving them the false . impression that he had the means and the intention to acquire the . property himself, and the hapless punter, by pretending to him or her . that he was a necessary intermediary. 'In truth, and in law, he had no other role than as an officious bystander.' Toad Hall: Fawley Court, near Henley-on-Thames, Buckinghamshire, was at the centre of a £5million court dispute . Mr Butler-Creagh, added the judge in London, 'told lie after lie' in his dealings with the Marian Fathers and Ms Hersham. 'He even lied in his witness . statements before the court, claiming for example that the Bank of . Ireland had previously provided finance for him in respect of other . property developments. This he sought to explain away in court as a . mistake.' The buyer: Aida Hersham, an Iranian heiress, denied that she had agreed to pay Mr Butler-Creagh any fee . Despite his . audacious lies, Mr Justice Eady said Mr Butler-Creagh had given the . impression of being confident and self-assured while giving evidence to . court. 'Yet it emerged very . clearly from his two days and more of cross-examination that he lives in . a parallel universe where truth and falsehood imperceptibly merge, the . one into the other, he being quite insensitive to the distinction . between them,' the judge said. In his own mind Mr Butler-Creagh justified such behaviour as being necessary to survive in what the developer described as 'a commercial world out there'. He had accepted in court that he was 'not too scrupulous' in what he was prepared to say to obtain business opportunities. The judge concluded that Cherrilow did rely, as always intended by Mr Butler-Creagh, on false misrepresentations of fact and had it not done so, the purchase would not have been made. The company claims it has lost £9,864,940 from the transaction, but any compensation payments have yet to be finalised." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "'He told lie after lie' High Court in London is told .\nDeveloper admitted he was 'not too scrupulous' in his business dealings ." } ]
[ { "from": "system", "value": "You are a summarization AI. Provide a succinct and relevant summary of the provided text." }, { "from": "human", "value": "A New York-based commercial photographer has launched a campaign called Not a Bully which aims to challenge the all-too-common view of pit bulls as a 'bully-breed'. Douglas Sonders, 32, himself the owner of a pit bull mix called Emma, feels compelled to speak up for a breed that is often neglected, mistreated and typecast as mean, aggressive or dangerous. 'Despite what some bad humans have done to these dogs, they are inherently sweet and very trainable,' he tells MailOnline. Happy face: Photographer Douglas Sonders captures the charming characters of rescue pit bulls, for his Not a Bully campaign, which hopes to change the way people see the breed for the better . In a stunning array of photographs, Mr Sonders captures a host of noble and gentle looking pit bulls, all of whom have touching stories and are now blessed with loving owners. Although it started off as a photo campaign, Not a Bully is growing. National Geographic Wild recently profiled Mr Sonders with Ceser Milan, the acclaimed TV dog trainer, who he describes as 'wonderfully enthusiastic about helping animals.' Mr Millan, who posed for Mr Sonders with his Pit Bull Junior, is now an avid supporter of Not a Bully's mission, and in return, Mr Sonders has been donating his time and efforts to the Cesar Millan foundation for abandoned and abused dogs. Famous friends: Mr Sonders (left) has gained support from TV dog trainer Cesar Millan (right) both seen posing with their handsome pit bulls for the campaign . Noble: Pit bulls are often referred to as 'bully-breeds' - assumed to be mean, aggressive and dangerous, but many proud owners know them to entirely the opposite . But it was Emma, the pit bull mix Mr Sonders adopted two years ago, who started it all. When his beloved boxer dog, Winston Churchull, died leaving Mr Sonders 'heart wrecked', he decided, following a period of intense mourning, to adopt a new canine companion. He didn't know quite what he was looking for, but he says he planned to avoid pit bulls, assuming, like many others, that they were a difficult breed. Not so scary: This pampered pooch, named London, was rescued from a life on the streets of Baltimore, and couldn't look less intimidating with her wonky ears and soft pink bandana . Inspiration: Emma is the two-year-old pit bull mix adopted by Mr Sonders, who taught him what a loving, gentle breed she comes from and sparked his Not a Bully campaign . 'I’ve since learned that “pit bull” is a bad word in society, which is a real tragedy,' he says, adding that over 40 per cent of dogs in shelters are 'bully-breeds' and 22 per cent of pit bulls are euthanized regardless of their disposition. Still, the day he walked into his local Petco adoption drive and saw one-year-old Emma sitting quietly at the back of the room, he was in love. Emma had been rotated around foster care for nine months prior to finding a forever home with Mr Sonders. 'No-one wanted her because she was a pit-mix with black fur,' he recalls. Unfair: Mr Sonders says he 'tears up' every time he thinks about the fact that Emma (pictured) was nearly euthanized because of the way she looks . Savior: Winnie (pictured) was adopted by a shy little ten-year-old girl, whom she helped 'break out of her shell' - the pair now compete in dog training competitions together . 'The thought makes me tear up when I think how she was nearly put to sleep because of how she looks.' Aside from her tendency to sneak into Mr Sonders' bed when he's away, Emma is 'perfectly behaved; naturally gentle, great with kids and other dogs, and an excellent running partner', according to her loving owner. Still, to his disappointment, Mr Sonders noticed his neighbors 'recoil' when they first saw him around the neighborhood with Emma - a knee jerk reaction he hopes he can shift with his project. Buddies: Cesar Millian (pictured with his dog Junior) appeared in the campaign and were filmed with Mr Sonders for a National Geographic documentary about pit bulls . Sleek: Mr Millan is well-known for his work with behaviorally challenged dogs, but his own four-legged friend poses no trouble at all . Behind the scenes: Mr Millan can be seen attracting his dog's attention with a fluorescent ball as Mr Sonders dutifully snaps away . Another portrait in the series stars Winnie, who was adopted by ten-year-old Gillie, a shy little girl who found she was finally able to break out of her shell after finding a four-legged friend in Winnie. The two now compete in dog training competitions together. London was rescued from a tough life on the streets of Baltimore, and nursed back to health by volunteers at Good Doggie Daycare. Her adoptive owner, Carolyn, discovered that London, her first pit bull, was 'gentle, smart and good with all other living beings.' Porter is undoubtedly the most heart-wrenching subject Mr Sonders has photographed. He was found on the street with his legs crushed and his jaw smashed by an unknown assailant. Disgrace: What looked like it would be a grisly ending for poor Porter (pictured) turned into a hopeful tale, when a rescuer at the Humane Society ensured he was nursed back to health following a brutal attack on him . Heart of gold: Porter won everyone over by displaying nothing but love, despite his awful mistreatment, and now has a happy forever home . Child friendly: Mr Sonders seen visiting a local elementary school with his trusty Emma, to teach kids about the negatives of dog abuse and the importance of adoption, particularly with pit bulls . Despite his despicable treatment, Porter showed nothing but a warm, trusting heart to rescuers at the Humane Society. Instead of putting him to sleep, Julie Conway, an employee at the organization, paid out of her own pocket to save him. He now fronts one of the I'm Not a Bully campaigns ads. Hundreds of thousands of pit bull and other 'bully breeds' are put to sleep in the U.S. every year, and breed-specific legislation currently bans them from several states - essentially serving these dogs with a death sentence. The ASPA credits 'putative over-reporting and false reporting' of pit bull attacks on humans as a major cause for their public perception. Man's best friend: Mr Sonders (pictured with Emma) hopes he can get people to see the breed in a new light, so that more pit bulls can enjoy happy endings . In fact, it's the human attacks on what many insist to be a naturally gentle breed that perhaps need addressing; attacks mainly in the form those who abuse pit bulls, use them as 'bait' and force them into cruel dog-fighting rings. Mr Sonders points to the case of Michael Vick, the New York Jets quarterback who was jailed in 2007 for mistreating pit bulls as part of vicious dog-fighting racket. Almost all of Mr Vick's former fighting dogs were placed in family homes after positive training rehab, he reveals. At the end of the day, the Not a Bully campaign simply hopes to shine a very different light on this little-understood breed, so that more pit bulls can enjoy happy endings.

Ashworth, already anointed by chairman Greg Dyke as the new technical director, will be giving a presentation of the ‘England DNA’ that will act as the blueprint for the playing style and preparation of international teams and, hopefully, eventually lead to tournament success. The fact Ashworth is going public with his plans, formulated with his growing army of technical specialists handpicked since he arrived from West Brom in September 2012, shows he has the full backing of the FA hierarchy to take the helm in plotting England football’s future.

Speaking of climate change during a speech at the United Nations on Tuesday, Obama warned that the world must 'tackle this global threat before it is too late.' The White House cited 'fighting malaria' as one example of an initiative that it aims to bring into sync with its position that global climate change is both real and caused by human activity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention typically engages in such epidemic-related work. It has already deployed more than 100 relief workers to Liberia and Sierra Leone. But Obama's new order will necessarily mean that the CDC and other agencies in his administration will have what one insider called 'an unnecessary hurdle' to leap over when emergencies normally lead to urgency. Scroll down for video . President Barack Obama spoke at the United Nations Climate Summit on Tuesday, spelling out a new executive order that critics say will make it harder to fight diseases and engage in other relief work overseas . The CDC estimated Tuesday that the current Ebola outbreak could affect 1.4 million people by the end of January 2015. An official with that agency told MailOnline that she is 'concerned' about the president's order, but 'of course we'll comply. I hope this impacts long-term planning more than emergencies.' Obama's executive order specifically refers to 'agency strategies, planning, programs, projects, investments, overseas facilities, and related funding decisions,' broad categories that could impact even last-minute decisions like those related to the African Ebola outbreak. The CDC official noted also that the order doesn't appear to impact any of the CDC's operations inside the United States. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. The text of Obama's executive order, and his United Nations speech Tuesday in New York, indicate that he and his advisers have accepted some of the most apocalyptic predictions of environmental advocates. 'The adverse impacts of climate change, including sea-level rise, increases in temperatures, more frequent extreme precipitation and heat events, more severe droughts, and increased wildfire activity, along with other impacts of greenhouse gas emissions, such as ocean acidification, threaten to roll back decades of progress in reducing poverty and improving economic growth in vulnerable countries,' the order reads in part. He told the UN that the world will soon be subject to 'more extreme weather events' that will bring 'impacts that we can unfortunately no longer avoid.' 'In America the last decade has been our hottest on record,' he claimed, while taking credit for doing 'more than any other nation on earth' to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But we have to do more.' Impact: A CDC official, the agency currently leading the fight against Ebola in Africa, told MailOnline that she was 'concerned' about the new orders. She added: 'Of course we'll comply. I hope this impacts long-term planning more than emergencies' 'In our west, wildfire season stretches most of the year.' he said. Moments later Obama blamed climate change for making U.S. farmland both 'drenched' with too much rain and left in 'drought' by too little. 'The alarm bells keep ringing,' he said. 'Our citizens keep marching.' Obama acknowledged that other nations' slow responses – when they respond at all – to America's urging on carbon emissions is rooted in the fear that industrial costs will spiral and change bottom-line business viability. Obama acknowledged a global 'suspicion that if we act and other countries don't, we will be at an economic disadvantage.'

The Oscar-winning actress said it has never been women who have questioned her childless existence, but ‘only boring old men. And whenever they went, \"What? No children? Well, you’d better get on with it, old girl\", I’d say, \"No! F*** off\"!’ Miss Mirren, 67, the second of three children, has often spoken about her lack of maternal instinct.

I kept thinking it would be, waiting for it to happen, but I never did, and I didn’t care what people thought.’ Her magnificent portrayal of Elizabeth II in the 2007 film The Queen earned Miss Mirren an Academy Award for best actress and global fame. Miss Mirren, who is married to director Taylor Hackford, is set to reprise her role as The Queen in play The Audience, which will open later this year.

But at the same time, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go back there. 'It was hard enough wriggling out of being Jane Tennison.

Thomas Kauffman, of the Upper Allen Township Police Department in Pennsylvania. 'He would stay up all night and make phone calls,' Kauffman recalled Tuesday. Murdered: A man stabbed to death last week on a Las Vegas Strip pedestrian walkway was identified on Tuesday as Rip Alan Swartz nicknamed the 'pantyhose prankster' 'He said the same thing on every call, mainly focused on pantyhose. By the time it got around to that, most women would hang up.' Swartz's name became public as his alleged assailant, Calvin Boyden III, 22, of Las Vegas, made an initial court appearance on felony murder and robbery charges in the 12:40 a.m. Nov. 25 slaying on a foot bridge over Las Vegas Boulevard near the multi-hotel CityCenter complex. Boyden appeared in shackles and said nothing while Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Janiece Marshall assigned a deputy public defender, Norm Reed, to the case and set a Dec. 15 preliminary hearing. Boyden was being held without bail at the Clark County jail. Reed said Boyden plans to plead not guilty. Reed said he wanted to review the police investigation and view security video before talking about the case. A motive for the slaying wasn't immediately clear, but police said Boyden and Swartz were involved in a confrontation on the walkway before the stabbing, and that Boyden left the walkway before he was arrested. Swartz was taken to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Jail records show that Boyden also was held on felony domestic battery with a weapon and burglary charges stemming from what Reed said was a separate incident. It took several days to locate Swartz's next-of-kin, coroner's officials in Las Vegas said Monday. Records showed Swartz, originally from Shiremanstown, Pennsylvania, was convicted in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, of felony telephone harassment and served from October to December 2011 in state prison, said Sue McNaughton, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. Swartz told a judge in October 2011 that he was ashamed to have made thousands of obscene calls during a five-year period, and he said he hoped to complete a treatment program and put the calls behind him.

British research suggests youngsters who do not eat the morning meal every day may be increasing their chances of developing the ‘type 2’ form of the disease as they get older. A study by scientists at Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow and St George’s London universities found children who missed breakfast were more likely to be insulin-resistant – a key factor in the disease. Scientists found that children who skip breakfast could increase their chance of developing type 2 diabetes . They tracked more than 4,000 British primary school pupils aged nine and ten, monitoring how often they had breakfast and what they ate. Children who did not have the morning meal were significantly more likely to have blood markers associated with diabetes risk than those who always ate breakfast. They had higher insulin levels after not eating and their bodies were less able to respond to the hormone, which normally regulates the amount of sugar in the bloodstream. Those skipping food first thing in the morning had very slightly higher blood sugar levels than children who regularly ate breakfast. The study, published last night in the journal PLOS Medicine, concluded: ‘The observed associations suggest that regular breakfast consumption, particularly involving consumption of a high-fibre cereal, could protect against the early development of type 2 diabetes risk.’ Lead researcher Dr Angela Donin, of St George’s, University of London, said the study had not directly established why skipping the meal raises the risk of diabetes. But she said it may be because those who do not have a healthy breakfast are more likely to snack on fatty foods later. Eating cereal also provides a source of fibre, which has been shown to protect against the disease, she added. Almost three million people in the UK are believed to have type 2 diabetes, which is linked to lifestyle and obesity. The disease occurs when the body stops responding to insulin or produces too little of the hormone. Children had higher insulin levels after not eating and their bodies were less able to respond to the hormone, which normally regulates the amount of sugar in the bloodstream (pictured a model tests blood sugar levels) This results in sugar building up in the bloodstream instead of being used as fuel, leading to symptoms such as extreme tiredness and thirst. Diabetes can also cause blindness and kidney failure, and increase a person’s chance of heart disease and stroke. Dr Donin said: ‘There is evidence that if you skip breakfast you are more likely to be overweight. ‘This could be explained by your eating patterns for the rest of the day. If you have not eaten breakfast you are more likely to snack – and those snacks are more likely to be energy-heavy.’ She added: ‘Eating breakfast every day could reduce the snacking behaviour for the rest of the day.’ Diabetes UK, which funded the study, said more research is needed into the link between the disease and eating breakfast. Dr Alasdair Rankin, director of research at the charity, said: ‘We already know that giving your child a healthy breakfast, as part of a balanced diet, can have a range of benefits for health and wellbeing. ‘More research will be needed to help us understand the exact link between eating breakfast and the development of type 2 diabetes, including studies that follow children through to adulthood to see how many young people with these warning signs go on to develop the condition.’" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Scientists tracked over 4,000 British primary school pupils aged 9 and 10 .\nFound children who skipped breakfast are more likely to be insulin-resistant .\nThose skipping food first thing had very slightly higher blood sugar levels .\nStudy concluded regular breakfasts could protect against type 2 diabetes ." } ]

The Himalayan Nilo Crocodile Birkin - encrusted with 245 diamonds, boasting 18-karat white gold hardware and crafted from extremely pale crocodile skin - sent bidders into a frenzy via phone, online and in person at Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Managing Director of the auction house, Kathleen Guzman told CBS MoneyWatch: 'Hermès raises crocodiles on its own farm, breeding them to have very light coloring. 'But then to search for a crocodile that has almost an albino skin is extraordinarily rare.' Scroll down for video . Eye-watering: This rare Hermès Himalayan Nilo Crocodile Birkin (pictured) sold at auction yesterday to an anonymous bidder for $185,000, the second-highest price ever paid for a Birkin bag . According to Ms Guzman, it probably took a Hermès designer 'a full year' to craft the bag, and mentioned that if it should become scratched or damaged, the company vows to repair the flaws 'immediately.' Given its eye-watering price, however, it seems unlikely that this bag will ever grace the arm of its mystery owner. 'Hermès is the only line of bags that can sell on the secondary market for more than their retail price,' Ms Guzman said, adding that as a result, these bags tend to be traded purely as investments. The Himalayan Nilo Crocodile Birkin sold for $35,000 more than its estimated value of $150,000, making it only second in price to a diamond-encrusted Birkin which sold in 2011 for $203,150. Careful! Hermès is the only line of bags that can sell on the secondary market for more than their retail price, and as a result, they tend to be traded purely as investments . Reptilian: The bag is encrusted with 245 diamonds, boasting 18-karat white gold hardware and crafted from the skin of an extremely pale crocodile, raised by Hermès on its own farm . More money than sense? The covetable fashion piece sent bidders into a frenzy via phone, online and in person at Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills, California . Handbags of this high caliber are produced in tiny batches and reserved only for a 'select number' of elite Hermès clients. Even a standard Birkin comes with a waiting list and a $10,000 starting price tag. According to Ms Guzman, if you walked into any Hermès store in the world and asked for one off the shelf, 'they would look at you like you had two heads.' Victoria Beckham is famously fond of the Hermès design, reportedly owning a collection worth over $2 million, while Kim Kardashian has so many that she uses one as a gym bag. Interior: The bag sold for $35,000 more than its estimated value of $150,000; making it only second in price to a diamond-encrusted Birkin which sold in 2011 for $203,150 . Insured: Hermès has promised to repair any scratches, flaws or damage that may befall the bag 'immediately' Ironically, the woman the Birkin bag was originally inspired by and named after - actress Jane Birkin - doesn't even like them. The British star has famously denounced them as 'bloody heavy' - and said the one she owns hurts her arm. The Birkin came into existence following a chance meeting on an airplane between Ms Birkin and Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas in 1981. Mr Dumas watched as Ms Birkin struggled to get her straw bag into the overhead compartment - and when she finally did, the contents fell back to the floor. Pasty: Managing Director of the auction house, Kathleen Guzmansaid: 'Hermès raises crocodiles on its own farm... but for a crocodile [to have] almost an albino skin is extraordinarily rare.' (Stock image) Ms Birkin, who is best known for her film roles in the 1960s and for being the partner of French singer Serge Gainsborough, explained she couldn't find a decent weekend bag. In response, Mr Dumas modified an existing design and in 1984, the Birkin Bag was launched. It was an instant hit with fashionistas around the world - but Ms Birkin herself was less than impressed. In an interview in 2012 Birkin grumbled: 'What's the use of having a second one? You only need one and that busts your arm - they're bloody heavy.

Shawn Parcells, of Overland Park, Kansas, assisted Dr. Michael Baden in the autopsy of Brown, and briefly became a national figure, appearing on various news programs and being quoted in papers around the country after he revealed his findings. This even though the man is not a doctor, can not conduct an autopsy alone, and is unable to prove his claim that he is a college professor. Scroll down for videos . Expert?: Shawn Parcells (above) assisted in the second autopsy of Michael Brown that was commissioned by his family . Calling into question: Now Parcells, who does not claim to be a doctor, is having his credentials called into question, with the university he claims to teach at saying he has never worked there . The chief medical examiner of St. Louis County, Dr Mary Case, called what Parcells does 'abysmal' back in August, after learning he had been hired to assist on Brown's autopsy. Case, who conducted the first autopsy of Brown, told The Daily Caller, 'He is doing forensic autopsies which may send someone to prison, and he is not a physician, much less a forensic pathologist.' She then added that she was 'shocked by this man and how bold he is to do what he does.' Parcells claims he became interested in death as a child when his grandfather passed away, and began performing autopsies while he was still in high school. He received a bachelor's degree in life sciences from Kansas State in 2003, and he told CNN he was immediately accepted to medical school in the Caribbean, but his wife got pregnant and he wanted her to receive her care in the United States, so he did not attend. He still has yet to attend medical school. He does claim to have master's degree in anatomy and physiology, with clinical correlation, but was unable to verify that with an actual diploma. He also claims to be an adjunct professor at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, something that officials at Washburn have denied. '[Parcells] is not now and has never been a member of the Washburn University faculty,\" according to a university spokeswoman. Skipping out: Parcells says he decided to not attend the medical school he was accepted to in the Caribbean as his wife (above) became pregnant and they wanted to have the baby in the United States . Then, there are the alleged problems that have come up during his actual autopsies. In 2012, Parcells Regional Forensic Services was hired by Andrew County, Missouri, to conduct an autopsy on Robert Forrester, a man they believe may have died as the result of a brain bleed after he had told officers two days earlier that his grandson had 'knocked me the f*** out.' Two deputy sheriffs in Andrew County say that Parcells presented himself as a pathologist, this even though he is not and must have a medical doctor present in order for the findings in his autopsy to be presented in a court of law. There was no medical doctor present during the autopsy. Making the situation even more odd, the pathologist listed on the autopsy form, Edward R. Friedlander, M.D., refused to comment on the case, and when Parcells was pressed, he claimed that the autopsy was actually performed by Dr. George Vandermark. Dr. Vandermark said he had nothing to do with Forrester's autopsy. 'I see him as a fraud,' said one of the deputies. The sheriffs had been hoping to charge Forrester's grandson with manslaughter, but with no legal autopsy having been performed and no way to present the findings of a medical expert, it has now been two years since the death and they cannot move forward to prosecute. Other claims: One coroner says that Parcells disappeared with a body he was supposed to examine, and two deputy sheriffs in Missouri have labeled him a 'fraud' Then, there is the case of one funeral home, Northern Star Mortuary, Inc, who hired Parcells to perform an autopsy. After waiting over a week for Parcells to come examine an unidentified body, so long that maggots had started to appear, he finally came to collect the body and perform an autopsy. But Lenox Jones, the Pehlps County Deputy Coroner, says it has been over a year since the sutopsy, and he has no idea where the body is and has not heard from Parcells. Parcells grew irritated when presented with Jones' claim, and said the body in is his morgue in Topeka and could be collected at any time. Odd: Another woman says Parcells took her husband's brain, around the time this photo of a brain appeared on his Facebook page . In another odd incident, Judy Walker says she paid Parcells to examine her husband's brain after his death in 2011, and Parcells told her he would send the brain to Harvard to be examined. Three years later she received a report from a doctor in New York. She retained a lawyer, Michael Hodges, and at a deposition Parcells handed over a brain in a bucket saying it was that of Walker's husband. She did not believe him, and Parcells claims the brain is at his Topeka morgue if she ever wants to come pick it up." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Shawn Parcells, the man who assisted on Michael Brown's second autopsy, is having his credentials called into question .\nHe has a Bachelor's degree in life science, and said he has been interested in death since he was 12, and started performing autopsies as a teenager .\nHe claims to be a professor at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, a claim they deny .\nTwo deputy sheriffs in Missouri say he claimed to be a doctor and performed an autopsy they now cannot use .\nA coroner in Kansas says that after waiting over a week to collect a body, he disappeared with it and never reported back .\nOne woman claims he took her husband's brain after she sent it to him to examine for signs of dementia ." } ]

The Prime Minister said his wife volunteers at The Passage, which helps 200 rough sleepers in London every day. The details of the charity work emerged as Mr Cameron used an interview with ITV's Philip Schofield to encourage people to give their time to good causes this Christmas. Scroll down for video . Samantha Cameron was pictured with head chef 'Nour' at The Passage homeless centre in London in March 2010, but David Cameron revealed she regularly goes there to cook breakfast . Mr Schofield met the Prime Minister in the first ever live interview from the Cabinet room in Number 10 as part of his 24-hour TV marathon, raising money for Text Santa. Mr Cameron congratulated him on his staying power and for raising money for charity. He said every member of the Cabinet would be training as Dementia Friends as part of a drive to encourage volunteering. And he revealed what he and his wife Samantha do for charity. The PM said: 'She goes to a homeless charity called The Passage which feeds homeless people in the morning, so she goes off and does that.' Mrs Cameron was pictured helping at The Passage during the 2010 election campaign, but this is the first time it has emerged that she is still working with the charity. It is understood she attends every few months. Four years ago she was pictured chopping carrots, stirring a stew and joking with volunteer chefs at The Passage in Central London. Mick Clarke, Passage CEO said: 'For many years Samantha has volunteered - like so many other people do - at The Passage. 'The Passage is all about ending homelessness for those who use our services and we simply could not deliver the diverse services we provide without volunteer support. 'The Passage has a 4:1 volunteer to staff ratio. The Passage has helped many people get back on their feet and end their homelessness, including helping over 2000 people into employment.' Mr Cameron was interviewed by ITV's Philip Schofield as part of the presenter's Text Santa challenge to remain on air for 24 hours . Mr Cameron added that his wife also does 'a bit of mentoring as well, which I've tried to do in the past and I hope to do more of in the future'. He went on: 'I think one of the best things people can do, if you've got some skills [is] to just try and transfer those skills onto people who haven't had all the opportunities and maybe the education you've had. 'And particularly something politicians are good at, actually, is helping people with whether it's interview skills or CVs or just giving people a bit of confidence and Sam does a bit of that, I've done a bit in the past and hope to do a bit more in the future.' Mr Cameron encouraged people to get involved in Giving Tuesday - a selfless alternative to the consumerist frenzies of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 'This was something that started in America - I think it was partly a reaction to the crazed internet shopping that takes place before Christmas. 'I think it's a good moment to remember that, of course Christmas is about giving to family and friends, and buying gifts and the rest of it; but it's a moment also to think of others and to encourage giving.' It is thought to be the first time a live interview has been broadcast from the Cabinet room in Number 10 . Schofield has raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity during his marathon presenting stint . Today members of the Cabinet are being trained to be dementia friends. The PM said a nurse from St Thomas' Hospital would train the Cabinet because it was important that people were made more aware of the problem of dementia. 'Particularly when loneliness is such an issue, when there are so many people living alone who don't necessarily have families surviving or there to look after them, actually reaching out and helping other people is hugely important,' he said. 'I've already done that, but every member of the Cabinet, by the end of today, will be a trained dementia friend. 'That's really important because it is such a challenge in our country, so many people having Alzheimer's and other conditions. And, as well as the research we need to fund, as well as the improvements in the health service we need, we also need our communities to be more dementia-friendly so that everybody knows how to handle, how to help people with these conditions.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Prime Minister interviewed by Philip Schofield as part of TV marathon .\nITV host remained on air for 24 hours to raise money for Text Santa .\nCameron encouraged people to give time or money to good causes .\nSamantha regularly cooks breakfast at The Passage centre in London ." } ]

Nigella and Jamie might have to rethink some recipes after warnings of an international shortage of extra virgin olive oil. The ingredient, generously drizzled over everything from salads to pasta dishes and roasted vegetables, has fallen victim to weather extremes. While Britain suffered its wettest summer in 100 years during 2012, the farmers of Spain were struggling to cope with a drought. As a result, the Spanish . harvest is predicted to be down by as much as 60 per cent, creating . shortages of extra virgin olive oil and pushing up prices. Perversely, . British retailers are currently using olive oil as a loss leader, . cutting the price in order to attract middle class shoppers who will . also spend on other products. Tesco, . for example, is offering five extra virgin olive oils at half price, . ranging from £1.74 to £2.84 for 500ml. However, olive oil experts insist . that the economics of the market mean this cannot last. The . Hojiblanca Group, an Andalucian based co-operative of more than 50,000 . farmers, grows and presses more olives than anyone else in the world. Its . UK representative, Jeff Bayley, said: ‘With the harvest drawing to a . close latest returns are showing that the Spanish olive crop is a . fraction of previous years. ‘The . crop forecast is for 700,000 tonnes of olives in 2013 against 1.6m . tonnes last year following a sustained period of drought. ‘There will be a shortage of certain types of olive oil and this will definitely put upward pressure on prices.’ Mr . Bayley said the current supermarket price cuts ‘would be unsustainable . even if supplies were abundant’. He added: ‘With a shortage on the way . the current situation can’t last.’ Other . olive oil producing countries, including Greece, Italy, Turkey and . Tunisia, have had their own drought problems and will not be able to . make up the shortfall from Spain. The situation is expected to fuel a burgeoning black market in stolen olive oil and an increase in the widespread adulteration of olive oil with cheap substitutes by food fraudsters. Kitchen favourite: Popular chefs such as Nigella Lawson, left, and Jamie Oliver, right, often use extra virgin olive oil in their recipes . Just before Christmas one British firm was fined more than £20,000 for passing off a cheap pesto sauce as something far more gourmet. Stark Naked Foods claimed its pesto was made with extra virgin olive oil and Grana Padano cheese, when in fact it was sunflower oil and a cheaper Latvian cheese. In America, a company called Gourmet Factory is facing a lawsuit over its Capatriti brand of ‘100% pure olive oil’. The case is being brought by the North American Olive Oil Association, which claims the product is actually olive pomace oil, a substance extracted using industrial solvents from the solid waste matter from olive oil mills, and not from olives. Last July, Spanish police arrested the leader of a gang responsible for the theft of more than a million litres of the olive oil, which was then shipped to Italy for sale. In 2011, two Spanish businessmen were sent to prison for selling extra virgin olive oil that turned out to be 75per cent sunflower oil. Mr Bayley said consumers need to careful when buying olive oil to make sure they are getting what they expect. ‘If the bottle does not have the words ‘extra virgin’ on it, then it is more than likely a blend containing refined oils,’ he said. ‘There’s a big difference between an extra virgin olive oil and refined olive oils which should cost less. ‘The irony is that highly processed refined oils are often sold in the UK at similar prices to extra virgin which are the least processed and most natural olive oils. ‘No self-respecting Spaniard would pay the same price for refined as extra virgin olive oil.’ Hojiblanca Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the market leader in Spain with around 215,000 tonnes produced every year, which is four times total UK consumption." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Drought in Spain and elsewhere in southern Europe has hit harvest .\nCrop has fallen by more than half compared with last year .\nUK retailers using olive oil as loss leader to attract middle class shoppers ." } ]

Barack Obama put his oar into the national debate over the militarization of local police forces on Monday, saying it may be time for Congress to take a close look at how the Pentagon is giving army gear to law-enforcement personnel . Paramilitary: Police in the newly war-torn Missouri suburb of Ferguson , like many local forces large and small, participates in a federal program that arms them with surplus battlefield weapons, armor and combat vehicles . Not your average riot squad: Ferguson, Mo. police advanced through a cloud of tear gas toward demonstrators protesting the killing of teenager Michael Brown on Sunday night, armed to the teeth and decked out in surplus U.S. Army gear . Obama predicted that 'there will be some bipartisan interest in . re-examining some of those programs,' even while he offered a justification for their existence. 'After . 9/11,' he said, 'I think, understandably, a lot of folks saw local communities that . were ill-equipped for a potential catastrophic terrorist attack.' 'And . then people in Congress, and people of good will decided that we've got . to make sure that they get proper equipment to deal with [it] ... And . some of that's been useful.' But data from the Law Enforcement Support Office of the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency show that the Pentagon transferred ownership of at least . 239,000 items to civilian law enforcement agencies between 2007 and . April of this year. While some of the Pentagon's gifts are as mundane as rubber gloves and . x-ray machines, others include a fleet of $18 million combat helicopters and . 345 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAPs) worth between . $412,000 and $1.08 million apiece. MRAPs were put into service in the U.S. military to protect personnel from roadside bobs and other improvised explosive devices. The Detroit Free Press first obtained the raw data from the Pentagon through a Freedom of Information Act request, and completed an analysis of equipment gifted to police forces in Michigan. In addition to 17 MRAPs, law enforcement there received 696 model M14 rifles, 32 12-gauge, 'riot-type shotguns' and nine grenade launchers since 2006, according to the paper. But the larger picture shows hundreds of helicopters, including some sophisticated armored models, ending up in the control of local governments. In 2011 the Pentagon gave Brevard County, Florida, a suburban coastal region that includes Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral, ownership of eight choppers valued at $18 million each. Data released by the government don't identify the flying machines by name. But a defense analyst told MailOnline that the per-unit cost 'matches the basic profile of an attack helicopter.' 'There's really no civilian observation chopper on the market that costs that much,' he said. Most of the helicopters described in the data from the Free Press are valued at less than $1 million each, and are identified as 'observation' craft. Standard kit: The Michael Brown shooting's aftermath broughtmilitary arms and vehicles -- not just standard-issue police equipment -- onto the streets of Ferguson . Military weapons and armor have crossed over from Army bases to police barracks tens of thousands of times in the last seven years, including firearms and anti-ambush vehicles . Missouri Highway Patrol, not National Guard: It's getting difficult to tell the two apart . The Brevard County Sheriff's Office operates a small fleet of just three choppers. There at 16 different incorporated towns and cities in the county, but the Pentagon hasn't provided information about which police forces operate those aircraft. More than $45 million worth of rifles – some 89,000 in all, in three calibers – also left the federal government and landed in the trunks of police cruisers. In three U.S. counties, authorities received 13 M59A 'field range' sniper rifles, worth $3,263 each. Police in Covington County, Alabama; Kern County, California and Lee County, Florida were the lucky recipients of those firearms. The latter two are home to the cities of Bakersfield and Fort Myers, respectively. The Defense Department has also donated 9,900 handguns, including more than 400 '.38 special' revolvers. A total of 98 armored vehicles are also on the list – classified as wheeled 'combat / assault / tactical' rides. Perhaps the strangest item migrating from a military base to a police barracks would look more at home in 'Good Morning, Vietnam' than in 'Full Metal Jacket.' Two South Carolina counties got $4 million mobile radio broadcast stations designed to flood enemy territory with propaganda messages. The . 'Special Operations Media System B' (SOMS-B) radio systems consist of . radio and television broadcast stations and antennas mounted on humvees . that tow their own generators. It's 21 tons of gear in all, according to the Department of the Army. In .

Now that the US Army has pulled out of Afghanistan, this MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) armored fighting vehicle could be the very same one seen on Missouri streets . The SOMS-B system can broadcast on any AM, FM, shortwave or television frequency, meaning that the U.S. military could interrupt or overwhelm any broadcast it chose to, replacing it with political messages designed to soften locals' objections and encourage the acceptance of political changes that favored the U.S. mission. It's unclear what authorities in Darlington and Spartanburg Counties intend to use the gear for. The Chicago Tribune reported in 1997, when the SOMS-B platform was first tested, that similar setups had instructed Iraqi soldiers on how to surrender to American troops.

And more than three-quarters are hiring nurses from abroad thanks to staff shortages across the NHS. Many recruit en masse in groups of 30 or 40 at a time from countries such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. But senior doctors are concerned that the nurses’ poor command of English and potentially inadequate training puts patients at risk. Dr Peter Carter of the Royal College of Nursing said the NHS relies upon hardworking nurses from overseas . The Nursing and Midwifery Council, which regulates nurses, is forbidden from testing those arriving from Europe because EU law states that this would inhibit ‘freedom of movement’. Trusts are increasingly resorting to recruiting nurses from overseas because there are not enough British-trained applicants to fill places. The lack was highlighted last February by a report into the Mid Staffordshire hospital scandal, which warned wards across the NHS were desperately understaffed. An investigation by ITV News using responses from 74 hospital trusts found 77 per cent had recruited nurses from abroad since 2010. Two out of three hospitals had sent teams of managers to recruit groups of 30 or 40 at a time at recruitment fairs. The investigation estimated that 31 per cent of nurses working in hospitals in England had trained abroad. At the 64 trusts that were able to give a breakdown of staff members, 36,100 out of 114,669 nurses qualified overseas. The Royal College of Nursing warned recruiting from abroad was an expensive quick fix. Chief executive Dr Peter Carter said: ‘Health care in the UK relies on the hard work and dedication of many nurses who trained overseas, and we must not underestimate their contribution. ‘However it is important that overseas nurses are being employed for the right reasons and in a manageable way. Recruiting from overseas is too often an expensive short-term fix when hospitals realise too late they don’t have enough staff. In the long run, the NHS must ensure that it is training and recruiting enough nurses to meet the needs of patients, and planning for those times when demand is greatest. ‘Without better forward planning, the NHS will spend its money on overseas recruitment at the expense of consistent staffing and high quality care.’ Last month, figures from the Nursing and Midwifery Council showed that the number of EU nurses coming to work in Britain had doubled in four years. There are now 20,914 on the register who can work in hospitals and care homes, up from 10,244 in 2010. However, fertility expert Lord Winston expressed concern over some nurses recruited from Eastern Europe . Roger Goss, of campaign group Patient Concern, said: ‘This sort of rise is really alarming. It seems we just aren’t training enough of our own nurses, we ought not to have this reliance on workers coming here from overseas.’ He added: ‘Again and again we have seen concerns about the communication skills of these workers, and communication is absolutely critical when it comes to healthcare.’ Since the NMC is prevented from carrying out tests on nurses before they join the register, it urges hospitals and care homes to do their own checks while interviewing them. But a poll of 100 senior NHS managers in June found that 52 per cent did not normally use aptitude tests when recruiting nurses from the continent. One of Britain’s top doctors, Lord Winston, has expressed particular concern over nurses from Eastern Europe. The peer, a world-renowned fertility expert, warned in 2011 that they had been trained in a ‘completely different way’ to British nurses and were not used to speaking to doctors or even patients. His concerns were echoed by Lord Kakkar, a surgeon, who said: ‘Quite frankly this is an intolerable situation.’ A Department of Health spokesman said: ‘Nurses recruited from abroad make a valuable contribution to patient care but they should only work in the NHS if they have the right skills. ‘There are 6,300 more nurses on our wards than in 2010. Trusts are responsible for planning and recruiting their workforce and ensuring they have the appropriate levels of staff.’" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "NHS hospitals are being forced to send teams to recruit nurses from abroad .\nMany are bringing in groups of 30 or 40 nurses at a time to fill major gaps .\nDoctors are concerned that these nurses may have poor English skills ." } ]

Fearless John Nygren was swimming in the waters off the south-east coast of Quintana Roo in Mexico when he encountered this prehistoric creature.

Make it snappy: John Nygren was swimming in the waters off the south-east coast of Quintana Roo in Mexico when he encountered this prehistoric creature . Touching tail: The diver reaches out and touches the tail of the creature. 'The crocs don't want to risk injury by taking us on,' Mr Nygren said of his encounter with the massive reptiles . Languidly gliding through the clear waters, the crocodile is within touching distance of Mr Ngyren, and seems more curious than threatened by the presence of human beings encroaching its natural habitat. It opens its frightful jaws wide to snap up the bait that divers dangle in front of it, gulping it down within seconds. But as the curios croc investigates the underwater camera, the divers stay close to the dangerous reptile, floating inches from its open mouth. The magnificent creature seems calm and placid, blissfully unbothered by the swimmers surrounding it. At one point the diver reaches out to touch the tail of the creature, holding on to it for a few seconds. Snap happy: The curios croc investigates the underwater camera, poking its snout close to the lens . Head above water: The group followed safety protocols to ensure that they didn't come to any harm . The camera then pans to show another crocodile, swimming up behind the first and the two glorious crocs gracefully slice through the water as their powerful bodies sway. The croc couple swim close together but things start to get aggressive very swiftly when one creature opens its jaws wide and tries to bite the other. But before it can pierce its thick scales, the crocodile snaps back and the aggressor quickly swims away . This particular species, the American crocodile or Crocodylus acutus, is a rare sight in this particular area of Mexico.

Ryanair's profits have soared by 32 per cent as its loud-mouth boss Michael O'Leary admitted: 'Being nice to our customers is a new and winning strategy'. Charging an average of five per cent more for tickets and getting more people on planes also helped push profits to £621million for the six months to the end of September. Ryanair now expects its annual profits of up to £602million, a rise of 18 per cent on a previous estimate . The good news could mean the end of O'Leary's series of extreme schemes to squeeze more money out of passengers, including demanding up to £5 to use the toilet and vertical seats to get more people on board. He said today: 'Being nice to our customers is a new and winning strategy for me and Ryanair. Our service left something to be desired 12 months ago. 'It's a new-found experience I must admit for me, but if it works this well I wish I'd been nicer to our customers much earlier. It's better late than never'. Passengers today described his change of heart as the 'slowest penny drop in history'. Earlier this year, after two profits warnings, Mr O'Leary's promised that the company would 'stop unnecessarily p** people off' and treating customers 'like the enemy'. O'Leary agreed to partially end the scramble to get on his planes by offering allocated seating for almost £5, relax the airline's draconian baggage allowance rules and a 'sophisticated' business service. It also vowed to cut average fares by up to 10 per cent as part of a bid to fly an additional five million passengers over the winter period. Upward part: Ryanair says profits up because of a new 'touchy feely' attitude to customers and also higher average fares and more people on board . The Dublin-based carrier believes there are 'many opportunities' open to it, such as competing more vigorously at primary airports and in attracting business traffic which tends to travel more during the winter period. Ryanair said average fares will fall by between three per cent and five per cent in the current quarter before an aggressive promotional drive will cut fares by between six per cent and 10 per cent in the new year. As a result, the airline expects to carry 89 million customers in the year to March 31, a rise of 9 per cent on a year earlier and the second such upgrade since September. Average fares will be up by 1 per cent to 47 euros (£36.76) across the year as a result of higher prices over the Easter period. The profits boost came after Ryanair had to give a unprecedented two profits warnings in the past 12 months. Michael O'Leary said to turn them around he would end the airline's 'over-abrupt', 'go to hell' culture. In 2012 he launched an extraordinary rant against his own customers – branding those who object to paying a penalty for failing to print their own boarding cards as ‘idiots’ who should ‘b* off’. Her said passengers who arrive for flights without a pass are ‘stupid’ and it is right they are charged £60 a time to have one printed at the check-in desk because it is their ‘f* up’. Outspoken: Mr O'Leary, who has gained areputation as a corporate loudmouth, has been the face of Ryanair foralmost 20 years. He has seen it through two decades of extraordinarygrowth . Pay-per-pee . In 2009, Mr O’Leary announced that passengers could be asked to pay as much as a pound to use the bathroom during a flight. 'We’re thinking of putting a coin slot on the toilet so people may have to spend a pound to spend a penny.' When asked if he would charge more than a pound, he replied: 'If someone wanted to pay £5 to go to the toilet I would carry them myself. I would wipe their bums for a fiver.'Vertical seats . A year later, the controversial tycoon asked customers whether they would think of vertical seats, akin to bar stools with seatbelts. His theory was that by removing 10 rows of seats and replacing them with 15 rows of vertical seats, flights could carry 30 per cent more passengers and slash costs by 20 per cent. Who needs co-pilots? Mr O'Leary once remarked that co-pilots were only there to 'make sure the first fella doesn’t fall asleep and knock over one of the computer controls'. He said aviation authorities should axe the 'unnecessary' position and instead train a member of cabin crew to act as 'back-up' should anything happen to the pilot mid-flight. Mr O'Leary, who has gained a reputation as a corporate loudmouth, has been the face of Ryanair for almost 20 years. But in the past 12 months, under pressure over customer service, he has said he wants to change his ways. Last autumn a charm offensive backfired when the outspoken tycoon was bombarded on Twitter after agreeing to host a question-and-answer session from customers. He posted a picture of himself on the social networking site dressed as a leprechaun before fielding tweets. Many customers told Mr O'Leary what an 'a*hole' they thought he was - with user Andrew Riddell asking him: 'Have you by any chance just hired British Gas's former head of publicity you Plum'. The Ryanair boss replied: 'Hey, don't call me plum. Pudding would be more accurate!', before later admitting: 'I'm an a*hole. But they still love me.' Ryanair remains one of the worst brands in the world by customers, second only to insurance company AXA. Despite recent efforts to transform its reputation, the budget airline was one of the worst-performing brands overall in Siegel+Gale's 2014 simplicity index. In a survey of over 12,000 customers in eight countries, Ryanair was named the second worst-ranked brand, based on ease of customer use of a company's products, services, interactions and communications." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Ryanair's profits for the six months to September up 32% to £621million .\nComes after they brought in allocated seating and relaxed baggage policy .\nMichael O'Leary admits he wishes he'd been 'nicer earlier' to customers .\n'Being nice to customers is a winning strategy for me and Ryanair', he said .\nBut airline managed to charge 5% more on average for seats, figures reveal .\nAirline voted the second worst brand in the world for customer service .\nO'Leary once called customers 'idiots' for failing to print own boarding cards ." } ]

Police will today issue an unprecedented plea for moderation in drinking as they admit defeat in tackling Britain’s excessive boozing culture. The country’s most senior officer responsible for fighting alcohol-related crime called for an end to the attitude which tolerates out-of-control drunkenness as ‘normal’. Chief Constable Adrian Lee also admitted officers’ efforts to combat booze-fuelled yobbishness and violence had ‘barely scratched the surface’ of a problem that is ‘blighting our communities’. Last year, Mr Lee called for the installation of drunk tanks on the streets to mop up some of the mess caused by the UK’s failed 24-hour drinking experiment. Today, he will say that despite officers’ best efforts there had been ‘few changes’ in 12 months. In a 24-hour period measured by Mr Lee’s own force, Northamptonshire, more than one in four incidents reported to police were related to alcohol. He will also call for much tougher action against the alcohol industry, a clampdown on cheap booze and more action to combat criminals with alcohol problems. And he will say: ‘But there is only so much progress we can make without individuals taking personal responsibility for their drinking. ‘Social tolerance for excessive drinking is far too great and it is considered normal to be so drunk that people are not in control of themselves. ‘This puts an enormous burden on police and health services and affects the service we offer to the public.’ This weekend will see a campaign of action against public drunkenness across the country. It could mean drunks being refused entry to pubs and clubs if they fail a compulsory breathalyser test. A breathalyser scheme – which is in operation at student venues in Loughborough – will see anyone considered too drunk when they arrive at a venue turned away on the basis of their alcohol reading. It is designed to tackle ‘pre-loading’, people drinking substantial quantities of cheap supermarket booze before going out on the town. Elsewhere, officers will issue ‘yellow card’ style warnings to people who are drunk, who will then be forced to leave the town or city centre if they do not control their behaviour. Officers will also visit schools and university campuses to give alcohol awareness lessons to both school age pupils and students who are beginning freshers’ week. Police have admitted efforts to combat booze-fuelled yobbishness and violence had ‘barely scratched the surface’ of a problem that is ‘blighting our communities’ The police action was backed by academics who called for officers to set up ‘booze borders’ around city centres, refusing entry to anyone who is very drunk – or making them sober up. Jonathan Birdwell, of think-tank Demos, said: ‘We need a tougher and smarter approach in those specific places that have big issues with problem drinking and where our current strategies aren’t working. ‘This includes giving drunk and disorderly people entering city centres a “yellow card” and denying them entry – or forcing them to sober up for an hour in a drunk tank.’ Twenty-four-hour drinking, brought in by Labour under Tony Blair, was opposed by the Daily Mail with support from senior police, ambulance staff and judges. Supporters claimed the move would bring a peaceful, continental-style drinking culture to the UK. But police have said round-the-clock opening had caused ‘significant problems’, and anyone put in a tank should be charged up to £400 a night, including a £100 on-the-spot fine." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Police admit defeat in tackling Britain's excessive boozing culture .\nChief Constable Adrian Lee will say efforts have 'barely scratched surface'\nHe believes there have been 'few changes' in the past 12 months .\nA campaign against public drunkenness will be rolled out this weekend .\nBreathalyser scheme could see drunken people turned away from venues ." } ]

Federal officials are looking into the possible existence of a pedophile ring involving convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky . A man has come forward alleging he saw Jerry Sandusky and a prominent Penn State University donor sexually abusing two boys together aboard a private plane, it was claimed on Monday. The FBI is reportedly taking the accusations 'seriously,' and has opened an investigation into a pedophile sex ring that could spread beyond the former Penn State football coach. Until now, authorities have believed that Sandusky was a lone abuser. The newest allegations threaten bring out more horrifying revelations about sexual abuse surrounding the once-prestigious college athletics program. RadarOnline.com reports that the witness, who has business ties to the Penn State booster, told postal inspectors and the FBI that he was aboard the private plane when the alleged abuse occurred. He said he remained silent about what he saw until now and does not know whether the boys are new victims or if they have already been identified as having been abused by the former defensive coordinator. 'If the Feds can prove what this witness is saying then a sickening situation just got worse,' an anonymous source told Radar. 'The witness does not know who the boys are and if they were from Sandusky's Second Mile charity. He can prove his tie to the booster but the Feds are going to have to prove the rest.' According to Radar Online, federal authorities are looking into the possibility that Sandusky shared his young victims with other pedophiles including a 'very rich, very powerful man connected with the university.' Grave allegations: Sources close to the investigation say a prominent man with close ties to Penn State may have been involved in the alleged sex ring . University boosters used to be content cheering for their college sports team and organizing fundraisers. However, in recent years, wealthy donors have been more active in major university athletics. In many cases, their money buys them access to coaches and players and influence the decisions of university administrators. In years past, scandal has erupted at other universities when boosters have used their cash and power to woo college players with cars, cash and other gifts. Until now, authorities have always thought Jerry Sandusky did his terrible deeds alone. However, the new allegations threaten to widen the horrific scandal -- possibly implicating a wealthy donor in sex abuse itself. University officials, including legendary coach Joe Paterno himself, have been accused of covering up and not acting on allegations that Sandusky was abusing young boys. Only Sandusky, though, has been accused of committing the actual abuse. In June, Sandusky, the former defensive coordinator for the Penn State football team, was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse for molesting 10 boys. Prosecutors say Sandusky met his victims at the Second Mile, a charity he founded for under-privileged children. Sandusky has not cooperated with authorities and has denied he ever sexually abused children. Investigators with the US Postal Service are also examining Sandusky. They have seized his computers and are looking into allegations that he sent 'seductive letters' across state lines -- including to some of his victims. Federal investigators are currently working to verify the allegations against the booster, who remains unnamed. The alleged witness reportedly included specific information like times and places. Radar Online said investigators were starting with the known victims because the eyewitness didn't know who the boys were. 'This . interview did not take place in the state of Pennsylvania and there are . documents linking the eyewitness to the man he claims abused children . with Sandusky. There is enough evidence that this is being taken very, . very seriously.' The booster allegedly involved with . Sandusky is described as a 'very rich and powerful man connected with . the university,' Radar reports.

Some of these letters were said to be sent to some of his . victims. Tensions: Paterno hardly got along with his former assistant Jerry Sandusky, left, even before allegations of child sex abuse were raised . In custody: Sandusky's attorneys have indicated that they will appeal his conviction . ‘The investigation . is in its early stages,’ the source added. ‘They have not yet cast a . wide net but it is ongoing and it is serious.’ Sandusky is expected to be sentenced . to a life in prison for sexually abusing underage boys.

A former male model has become the first man to come forward with a story that corroborates a Cosby accuser's claims about the actor's alleged abuse. Tony Hogue, now 58, worked as a model in a 1980s -- for the same agency that represented Cosby accuser Beth Ferrier -- and says he spent two drunken evenings at Cosby's Manhattan brownstone in 1984 along with Ferrier and another model friend. After he declined a third debaucherous dinner at Cosby's home and his fellow models attended without him, Hogue says he got an unsettling phone call from his unnamed friend from inside the house after she believes she was drugged by the comedian. That friend would go on to become a witness called Jane Doe 8 in Andrea Constand's 2005 sexual assault lawsuit against Cosby, which never went to trial. She, along with Hogue, separately recounted their stories from 1984 to the Daily Beast. 'She was crying. She was hysterical. She was whispering,' Hogue recalled to the Daily Beast. 'She said, \"Tony, you've got to come get me.\"' Hogue told the site he had been working for the modeling agency JF Images, an agency with reported ties to Cosby, when he was flown to New York City for work. He said he and his fellow models were invited to dine with the actor at his Upper East Side brownstone on tony 61st street twice. 'Why would Bill Cosby care less about these young girls coming from these modeling agencies? That was how he was casting extras on his show? 'That right there seemed ridiculous. I’d been to LA, and no actors I knew were doing that kind of stuff,' Hogue remembers wondering. Scene: Hogue says his unnamed friend, who worked with him at JF Images--a modeling agency with purported ties to Cosby--called him in a daze from inside Cosby's Manhattan brownstone (pictured) in 1984 . Cosby was at the cusp of breaking out as America's most beloved TV dad in 1984 when Hogue says he and his model agency friends were invited to his New York City home several time. Hogue says the night his friends went without him is when things took a turn . After an uncomfortable experience in which he claims Cosby first tried setting him up with a married female pilot--and another when he says Cosby very pointedly made clear he was his home's Alpha Dog--Hogue chose to turn down a third invitation to dine with Cosby. While Hogue stayed in at the JF Images apartment some twenty blocks away, his friend and Beth Ferrier again went to Cosby's. The friend recalled her night at the brownstone to the Daily Beast. 'Perrier Jouet was served like water,' said the woman, who's now 53 and a successful business owner in Colorado. 'We were all young—in our twenties—and felt honored to be having dinner with Cosby,' she said, but then she said he tried to kiss her and things took a turn. 'I called Tony to come get me,' she said. 'This was after Cosby tried to kiss me. I was amazed, and quite disgusted (since he was close to my Dad’s age and smelled like a cigar). 'I do recall that I felt out of control.' Concerned both about how strung out his friend seemed on the phone and with what would become of him, a nobody, if he came barging into a superstar's home, Hogue told the Daily Beast he knew he had to help his friend. Another model: Former model Beth Ferrier (right and left) also worked for JF Images and years ago admitted she had an affair with Cosby after meeting him with Hogue and his friend after they were invited to Cosby's home for a night of dinner and boozing. She's also accused Cosby of drugging and assaulting her . Both Ferrier and Hogue's friend were named as Jane Doe witnesses in Andrea Constand's (pictured) case against Cosby, but never testified . 'I just started kicking [the door] and pounding it,' Hogue recalled. 'I made quite a racket. I wanted to get in.' When Cosby finally answered, Hogue said he seemed unfazed by his apparent intrusion and merely asked what the problem was. 'There’s a big problem here,' Hogue said. 'Those girls are going with me right now!' He claims went into the house and eventually found his friend clothed but disheveled and practically incoherent. 'After Tony collected me,' the friend told the Daily Beast, 'I was virtually incoherent. At the time, I was in a long-term relationship, but remember (with shame) that I called out for Tony after returning to the company apartment. To this day, I am still embarrassed by my behavior.' Hogue said he never saw Ferrier at the home and they left without her that night. Ferrier has since gone public about what she called her brief affair with Cosby when she was a model in 1984. She said that he once drugged her coffee during an encounter in Denver and that she woke up hours later in the backseat of her car with her clothes disheveled. Ferrier would also go on to become Jane Doe 5 in Andrea Constand's case. Cosby in recent weeks has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting more than a dozen women over many years. Cosby has strongly denied wrongdoing and has never been criminally charged. A suburban Philadelphia prosecutor declined to press charges in Constand's case.

The sites - at Kellingley in North Yorkshire and Thoresby in Nottinghamshire - were once bustling, employing around 2,000 each. Today the sites, operated by Britain's largest coal producer, UK Coal, employ 1,300 people . But now it seems the mining industry is . on the brink of extinction after the Government announced they are to be wound down by autumn 2015. The Government's move to manage the closure, spares the company the prospect of immediate insolvency which would have cost the Treasury 'significant losses and liabilities' from redundancies and unpaid taxes. In a written statement to MPs, energy minister Michael Fallon said: 'The taxpayer is better served by supporting a managed closure of the mines. The Government's move to manage the closure, spares the company the prospect of immediate insolvency which would have cost the Treasury 'significant losses and liabilities' from redundancies and unpaid taxes . People gather at the entrance to Kellingley Colliery in 2011, where two men became trapped in debris inside the North Yorkshire pit . 'However, deep coal mining remains an inherently risky business. There is no value for money case for a level of investment that would keep the deep mines open beyond this managed wind-down period to autumn 2015. 'Private sector investors who wish to put in the substantial investment that would be needed to maintain the mines beyond autumn 2015 without government support remain free to do so.' Mr Fallon said the Government intended to participate in a private sector-led consortium 'to avoid the immediate insolvency of UK Coal'. The proposal, which ministers have . been considering since March 21, would see the deep pits face a phased . shutdown and UK Coal’s six surface mines sold off. Mr . Fallon told MPs that the Government’s agreement to participate was . subject to final terms 'that provide adequate protection to taxpayers' as well as assurance of backing from all parties including trade unions. He said a 'rapid response service' would be available to help employees try to find new work and retraining.

Miners at Creswell Colliery, Nottinghamshire, pictured in 1947 . Mr Fallon said directors of UK Coal had approached the Government at the end of January to report that a falling coal price, exchange rates and other factors meant that 'the viability of the business was potentially in doubt'. It is understood that private sector investment will come from rival mining group Hargreaves Services and Harworth Estates, landlord of the two mines. Mr Fallon said in a separate statement: 'We are doing everything we can to help in this unique situation. 'Our commercial loan, as part of this private sector-led initiative, can support a managed closure that is in the best interests of the taxpayer and employees. The only alternative was immediate insolvency. 'It has been a real collective effort to get to this point, but this remains a challenging situation and all parties need to continue working closely together.' Coal distribution in England, Wales and Scotland . Britain's coal industry was once the biggest employer in the country, when the pits were at the centre of communities whose way of life revolved around them. The hard but honourable work, at its peak - when coal was king - employed around 1 million people. By the time Labour nationalised the industry in 1947, it still employed 750,000 people. But the consumption of domestic coal began to fall with the discovery of North Sea gas. Soon the country's mining pits were closing down at an alarming rate. When widespread industrial action was triggered in March 1984 by plans to close 20 loss-making pits, there were 180 pits, each employing around 1,000 workers. Today there are three deep pit coal mines and six surface sites. The Government's announcement today looks set to sever one of Britain's last remaining links with it's once thriving industrial past." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Sites at Kellingley, North Yorkshire and Thoresby, Nottinghamshire to close .\nGovernment has decided there was 'no case for investment' in sites .\nWill give £10m loan, alongside £10m private sector loan, to manage closure .\nThe closure of the UK Coal sites will see the loss of 1,300 jobs ." } ]

Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland and ending in the capital Washington . D.C. Vast swathes of the U.S. countryside are emptying and communities becoming ghost towns as rural America now only accounts for just 16 per cent of the population. The 2010 census results suggest that by 2050 many of these areas could shrink to virtually nothing as businesses collapse and schools close. This dramatic population implosion is the culmination of a century of migration to cities, as in 1910 the share of rural America was at 72 per cent. Blackout: This official graphic shows dominant U.S. urban areas, marked in white, while large swathes of rural areas are becoming darker as people move away . In 1950 the countryside remained home to a majority of Americans, amid post-World War II economic expansion and the baby boom. However, once busy areas have been abandoned, in South Dakota for example, the town of Scenic is up for sale for $799,000 as today just eight people live there. Overall the share of people in rural areas over the past decade fell to 16 percent, passing the previous low of 20 percent in 2000, and is expected to drop further because of the economic crisis. But in contrast American cities are booming and will continue to swallow suburban communities, producing a virtual mega-city stretching through Boston, Massachusetts, through New York City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland and ending in the capital Washington, D.C. 'Some of the most isolated rural areas face a major uphill battle, with a broad area of the country emptying out,' said Mark Mather, associate vice president of the Population Reference Bureau, a research group in Washington, D.C. 'Many rural areas can't attract workers because there aren't any jobs, and businesses won't relocate there because there aren't enough qualified workers. So they are caught in a downward spiral.' The rural share is expected to drop further as the U.S. population balloons from 309 million to 400 million by 2050, leading even more people to crowd cities and suburbs and fill in the land around them. Ghost town: Scenic South Dakota was once a thriving train stop, complete with a saloon, and two jails, but now all the businesses are closed and eight people live there . In 2010, the census found cities grew overall by 11 percent with the biggest gains in suburbs or small- or medium-sized cities. In fact, of the 10 fastest-growing places, all were small cities incorporated into the suburbs of expanding metro areas, mostly in California, Arizona and Texas. In all, the share of Americans living in suburbs has climbed to an all-time high of 51 percent. Despite sharp declines in big cities in the Northeast and Midwest since 2000 due to the recession, U.S. cities increased their share by 3 percent to a third. The data was supplemented with calculations by Robert Lang, a sociology professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution.

In the census 'rural' is generally defined as non-metropolitan areas with fewer than 50,000 people. 'These new patterns suggest that there will be a blurring of boundaries as regions expand well beyond official government-defined definitions,' Mr Frey said. 'People like to have it all - affordable housing in a smaller-town setting but in close proximity to jobs and big-city amenities such as specialised shopping, cultural events and major sports and entertainment venues.' Areas areas like the Great Plains in the central U.S. and Appalachia in the East, along with parts of the South and Texas, could face the most significant population declines, demographers say. These places suffered some of the biggest losses over the past decade as young adults left and the people who stayed got older, moving past childbearing years. Rural towns are scrambling to attract new residents and stave off heavy funding cuts from financially strapped federal and state governments. Delta Air Lines recently announced it would end flight service to 24 small airports, several of them in the Great Plains, and the U.S. The U.S. Postal Service is mulling plans to close thousands of branches in mostly rural areas of the country.

The 41-year-old, who had been told by doctors she would never be able to conceive a child, decided to refuse the treatment so her unborn daughter could live instead. Stacie was able to survive for five months before being forced to deliver Dottie Mae, weighing just 2lbs 1oz, by Caesarean section - and even managed to hold her on one occasion before succumbing to the disease three days later. Scroll down for video . Trade: Stacie Crimm, right, refused chemotherapy for cancer so that her unborn baby Dottie Mae, left, could survive . Sacrifice: Dottie Mae will now be cared for by Stacie's brother Ray Phillips and his wife Jennifer . 'This baby was everything she had in this world,' Stacie's brother Ray Phillips told the Oklahoman. It was he Stacie called in March when she received the unfathomable news that she was pregnant after years of thinking she was infertile. 'You're not going to believe this,' the mother-to-be had told him in a mixture of laughter and tears, according to The Oklahoman. But over the next days and weeks, as she shopped for all the things her baby would need, a serious worry began to gnaw at Stacie. She was having severe headaches and double vision, while tremors struck every inch of her body. She began to tell Ray of her growing concerns. 'I'm worried about this baby,' she said in one text, according to the Oklahoman. 'I hope I live long enough to have this baby,' said another message. 'Bubba, if anything happens to me, you take this child.' Stacie was no longer with the father of the baby and would have raised her daughter as a single mother if she survived. At her family's encouragement, Stacie visited a number of doctors and in July, a CT scan revealed that she had head and neck cancer. Emotional: The moment Stacie was able to meet her baby daughter before she passed away. Also pictured are her siblings Ray and Elizabeth . Tiny: Dottie Mae was delivered four months early by Caesarean section, weighing just 2lbs 1oz . She had to do what no would-be mother should have to - choose between her life and that of her baby's. It was an easy decision. Ray told the Oklahoman that his sister waived the potentially lifesaving chemotherapy in the hope that she would eventually hold a healthy baby in her arms. Then on August 16, Stacie collapsed at her home in Ryan, Oklahoma and was rushed to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City. Doctors said the invasive tumour had begun wrapping around the brain stem, the Oklahoman reported. Two days later the baby's heart rate plummeted, then Stacie's heart stopped. Code Blue was issued. Doctors and nurses rushed to her aid and decided a C-section was the baby's only chance. Dottie Mae arrived into the world weighing less than a third of an average newborn. She was swiftly taken to neonatal intensive care, while her mother was placed in intensive care in another building. 'Sister was dying right there. She was gasping,' Ray told the Oklahoman. 'The human body fights death.' Stacie fought back and managed to wrestle herself off the ventilator and sedation after a few days. 'There was still a lot of hope at that point,' said Ray's wife Jennifer. Loving mother: Dottie Mae was able to meet her mother before Stacie died three days later on September 11 . Part of the family: Stacie's brother Ray Phillips has taken Dottie Mae into his home with his four children after the baby's father left his sister . But the cancer had affected one of her eyes and destroyed the muscle behind it, . It had paralysed her throat so that when she did talk, she was hard to understand. She had tumours on her brain. She often became unconscious and had not been able to sign Dottie Mae's birth certificate. Stacie was too weak to be taken to her baby, and her baby was too weak to be brought to her. 'We'd show her pictures and she would cry and she would want to hold her baby,' Ray told NewsOk. 'It was quite the ordeal. I felt helpless. I wanted to help her, I wanted to do what I could for her - we all did - but they had told us it was impossible for her to see the child.' On September 8, Stacie stopped breathing and once again was resuscitated. Hospital staff warned the family that she was very close to death. But she had not yet held, kissed or looked into the blue eyes of the baby whose life she had chosen above her own. Nurse Agi Beo, herself a mother, could not bear to think of Stacie's emotional pain and decided to do something about it. She worked with nurse Jetsy Jacob and talked to Neoflight, the medical centre's neonatal transport team, about using a capsule-like ICU to safely move Dottie Mae to her mother. Special unit: Dottie Mae had to be transferred into an ICU module so she could be taken from intensive care to her mother . 'I knew all of this was going on in the background and I didn't say nothing to her until I knew it was going to happen because I didn't want to get her hopes up,' Ray said. He asked his sister what she would would think about seeing her daughter that day. Stacie's eyes popped open and she began looking around to find her. Soon the nurses arrived with Dottie Mae and laid her right on her mother's chest. The two stared into each other's eyes for several minutes. 'Nobody said anything, it got real quiet,' Ray told NewsOk. 'I told my sister, \"You have done a beautiful thing\". It was the perfect moment, that's what I called it.' Stacie died three days later. Her funeral was on September 14. Her obituary on the Dudley Funeral Homes website reads: 'Dottie Mae was the light of her life and her greatest accomplishment. She chose to give this baby life instead of taking treatment for herself.' Dottie Mae now lives with Ray, his wife Jennifer and their four children in their Oklahoma City home .

Ed Miliband is expected to announce at Labour’s conference next week that firms seeking government work will have to pay the so-called ‘living wage’, which is more than £1 an hour higher than the national minimum wage. The move is the centrepiece of a package which will also see significant increases in the minimum wage, and a new formula to prevent it falling behind inflation. Ed Miliband is expected to announce at Labour’s conference next week that firms seeking government work will have to pay the ‘living wage’ Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves last night said some employers were already paying the living wage. She said: ‘I want to use those examples of best practice in the public and private sectors to determine how a future Labour Government would act, and that would mean over time having public sector procurement requiring paying a living wage. ‘That’s something we’re looking at for the manifesto. And it’s something that Ed feels very strongly about.’ The national minimum wage stands at £6.50 an hour. The living wage is significantly higher at £7.65 an hour, up to £8.80 in London. Senior Labour figures have been trying to drum up business support for a big increase in the minimum wage ahead of next week’s conference in Manchester. Mr Miliband’s adviser on the issue, Alan Buckle, has launched a discreet bid to persuade business leaders to sign an open letter backing the idea. The letter says that ‘as the economy recovers, we believe the minimum wage should rise faster than it has in the recent past. A stronger minimum wage will benefit businesses, improve public finances and help tackle low pay’. It makes no mention of a specific figure, but Labour is thought to be considering boosting the minimum wage to £7 an hour. Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves last night said some employers were already paying the living wage . Miss Reeves told The House magazine: ‘I do think there’s scope for increasing the value of the national minimum wage. I think it’s fallen in real terms by 5 per cent since the last general election. I would like to see at least that value restored.’ Miss Reeves also sought to toughen Labour’s rhetoric on the issue of migrants claiming benefits, saying decisions on benefits should be set by Parliament, not Brussels. She said: ‘I don’t think it’s right that someone should be able to come to this country and be able to start claiming benefits on day one. Or that they should be able to claim child benefit for children living overseas.’ ‘All countries in the European Union have their own welfare states and welfare is supposed to be an issue of national sovereignty, so we should be able to make decisions about how our welfare state works.’ Tory MP Brian Binley, a member of the Commons business select committee, said politicians should be ‘very wary’ of imposing big wage increases on employers. Mr Binley said: ‘They need to be very careful about this, and think about the impact on jobs. Most small business I know want to pay people the best wage they can because it is the best way to keep good people. But ultimately they can only pay what they can afford. ‘I would also be worried that a move of this kind could make it harder for small firms to win Government contracts at a time when we want more of them involved.’" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Ed Miliband is expected to announce the changes at conference next week .\nThe living wage is £7.65 an hour and up to £8.80 an hour in London .\nLabour may also be considering raising minimum wage to £7 an hour ." } ]

But in fact, it takes just 10 years for a single emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) to have its maximum warming effects on the planet. This is according to Washington-based researchers who claim to have dispelled a common misconception that the damaging effects from a CO2 emission will only be felt by future generations. Scroll down for video . It takes just 10 years for a single emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) to have its maximum warming effects on the Earth, according to a new study by the Carnegie Institute for Science in Washington. Pictured is the average global surface temperatures in 2013. Red and dark orange show warmer-than-average temperatures . The results suggest that warming can persist for more than a century and that the benefits from emission reductions will be felt by those who have worked to curb the emissions. Some of these benefits would be the avoidance of extreme weather events, such as droughts, heatwaves and flooding, according to scientists at the Carnegie Institute for Science. However, some of the bigger climate impacts from warming, such as sea-level rise, melting ice sheets and long-lasting damage to ecosystems, may not occur for hundreds or thousands of years later, they claim. 'Amazingly, despite many decades of climate science, there has never been a study focused on how long it takes to feel the warming from a particular emission of carbon dioxide, taking carbon-climate uncertainties into consideration,' said lead author of the study Dr Katharine Ricke. The study suggests that warming from CO2 emissions can persist for more than a century and that the benefits from emission reductions will be felt by those who have worked to curb the emissions . 'A lot of climate scientists may have an intuition about how long it takes to feel the warming from a particular emission of CO2, but that intuition might be a little bit out of sync with our best estimates from today's climate and carbon cycle models.' To calculate this timeframe, researchers combined information about the Earth's carbon cycle with information about the Earth's climate system taken from a group of climate models used in the latest IPCC report. The results showed that the average time between a single CO2 emission and maximum warming was 10.1 years, and reaffirmed that most of the warming persists for more than a century. The reason for this time lag is because the upper layers of the oceans take longer to heat up than the atmosphere, the scientists say. As the oceans take up more and more heat which causes the overall climate to warm up, the warming effects of CO2 emissions actually begin to diminish as CO2 is eventually removed from the atmosphere. Dr Matthew Watson, a climate scientists, said he was 'terrified' of the some geoengineering solutions . A climate scientist has said he is 'terrified' of the futuristic technologies he is helping to develop in a bid to slow global warming. British academics have spent £5.4 million ($8.5 million) in the last five years on taxpayer-funded 'geoengineering' projects to stop the effects of climate change. Dr Matthew Watson, lead investigator of a £1.8million ($2.8 million) project to pump chemicals into the atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays, said using such technologies will become inevitable if humanity fails to stop global warming. The Bristol University academic has already suffered a major setback, when much-trumpeted plans to send a huge balloon into the air to test his scheme was scrapped over a patenting dispute. Last week, he admitted that despite the millions already spent on research, scientists are still decades from seeing their dreams turn into reality. And he said they could indeed be dangerous. The schemes could see rainfall patterns change, droughts spread across the world and the ozone layer damaged beyond repair. 'Personally, this stuff terrifies me,' he said. 'Whilst it is clear that temperatures could be reduced during deployment, the potential for misstep is considerable. 'By identifying risks, we hope to contribute to the evidence base around geoengineering that will determine whether deployment, in the face of the threat of climate change, has the capacity to do more good than harm.' But he added that it would be 'unethical' not to try the technology. It takes around 10 years for these two competing factors to cancel each other out and for warming to be at a maximum. 'Our results show that people alive today are very likely to benefit from emissions avoided today and that these will not accrue solely to impact future generations,' Dr Ricke said. 'Our findings should dislodge previous misconceptions about this timeframe that have played a key part in the failure to reach policy consensus.' In the two decades since world leaders first got together to try to solve global warming, the world has become more polluted with heat-trapping gases, more crowded and just downright wilder. According to a separate study by the Associated Press, carbon dioxide emissions are up 60 per cent, global temperature are up six-tenths of a degree and sea levels have increased by three inches. 'Simply put, we are rapidly remaking the planet and beginning to suffer the consequences,' says Michael Oppenheimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University. Diplomats from more than 190 nations opened talks Monday at a United Nations global warming conference in Lima, Peru, to pave the way for an international treaty they hope to forge next year. Overall, what really strikes me is the missed opportunity,' Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University. 'We knew by the early 1990s that global warming was coming, yet we have done essentially nothing to head off the risk. I think that future generations may be justifiably angry about this.'

The new clock is just as long at 26 feet, but a foot taller at 7 feet. It's the nation's first new spacecraft intended for true outer-space travel by humans since the Apollo moon program. What better way to usher in this new era of exploration, NASA reasoned, than with the latest flat-screen gizmo. So last week, down came the countdown clock that dated back to the Apollo 12 moon shot in 1969 and signaled every space shuttle launch for 30 years. And up went the new display in the same exact spot at the Kennedy Space Center press site that, along with the nearby flag pole, had once earned national historic designation. The new clock is just as long at 26 feet, but a foot taller at 7 feet. NASA spokesman George Diller said the old clock, while still working, had become too expensive to fix and maintain. Parts were hard to come by. (It used 349 light bulbs to illuminate the hours, minutes and seconds, the colons and the plus and minus signs.) 'It was just becoming an antique,' Diller said. The new $280,000 display, similar to those used at sports stadiums, can provide multiple images in addition to the countdown time. 'An electronic billboard,' explained Mike Bolger, a NASA ground systems manager. The old clock used used 349 light bulbs to illuminate the hours, minutes and seconds, the colons and the plus and minus signs . Dismantled: Workmen haul the clock into a truck after the plug was pulled on the world's second most watched clock after Big Ben . The Orion capsule, on top of the rockets that will launch it on Thursday . On Tuesday, the countdown numbers ticked down in the lower right corner - far smaller than on the old familiar clock. But that's because the left half of the display showed a real-time, close-up image of the Delta IV rocket launch pad. In the upper right corner, the words 'Orion Test Flight' showed in red, sandwiched between an Orion emblem and the NASA logo. NASA took pains to keep the scene basically the same, with the clock and flag pole, according to Diller. Even so, more than a few space-age veterans were sorry to see the old, familiar clock hauled off. Diller tried to be philosophical about the switch: 'We won't have to worry about changing the light bulbs anymore.' Apollo 17's launch on Dec. 7, 1972, marked mankind's last trip to the moon - and the last crewed capsule to leave Earth's immediate vicinity. During its December 4 test flight, the unmanned capsule will shoot more than 3,600 miles (5,790km) into space. It will then take two big laps around Earth before re-entering the atmosphere at 20,000 mph (32,200 km/h) and parachuting into the Pacific off the San Diego coast. The Launch Abort System and upper stage, shown in the left of this image, have been transported to Cape Canaveral. Here, they will be joined with the Delta IV Heavy Rocket ahead of a test flight in December. The right image shows the stages Orion will go through during flight . During the two-orbit, four-hour mission, engineers will evaluate the systems critical to crew safety, the launch abort system, the heat shield and the parachute system. The data gathered during the mission will influence design decisions and validate existing computer models. The flight also will reduce overall mission risks and costs for later Orion flights. The capsule will re-enter Earth's atmosphere generating temperatures as high as 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. This inaugural Orion - scheduled for a 7:05 a.m. EST send-off - will carry no crew during the 4 1/2-hour test flight and be confined to Earth orbit. But it will aim for a high point of 3,600 miles on the second loop of the planet, setting the spacecraft up for a 20,000-mph, 4,000-degree re-entry. Splashdown will occur in the Pacific, 600 miles southwest of San Diego. Managers from United Launch Alliance (ULA) and Lockheed Martin gave a 'go' to proceed toward launch pending completion of open work during the Launch Readiness Review for Orion's flight test. The weather is forecast to be 60 percent 'go' for a scheduled liftoff at 7:05 a.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 4. With Countdown Clock in the foreground, Space Shuttle Discovery lifts off at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Nasa spokesman George Diller said the old clock, while still working, had become too expensive to fix and maintain. For this launch, a Delta IV rocket will do the heavy lifting. Future Orions will be launched aboard NASA's still-in-development Space Launch System, or SLS, intended to carry astronauts to asteroids, Mars and beyond. One plan calls for an asteroid to be corralled in orbit around the moon, so an Orion crew can explore the rock sometime in the 2020s. Mars expeditions would follow in the 2030s. NASA is counting on the new countdown clock to be around for all that. Traditionalists, meanwhile, can take heart.

Professor Richardson claimed the snub meant she was unable to entertain university donors at the clubhouse, traditionally an important part of the principal's role. 1734: The organisation is founded as The Society of St Andrews Golfers, a local golf club. 1834: King William IV becomes patron of the club, now known as the Royal and Ancient. 1893: Overcrowding leads to the club buying land off the town council for £5,000 to make another course. It is aptly named the New Course. 1897: The Jubilee Course, which has 12 holes, is built. Six holes are added in 1906. 1913: An Act of Parliament allows the club to charge green fees to people using the Old Course, allowing it to raise enough money to open a fourth course - the Eden. 2004: The club hands over its role as one of the governing authorities of the game to The R&A - a namesake group of companies. 2012: Gordon Brown calls on the club to abandon its policy on all-male membership. 2014: The club votes to allow female members, with 85 per cent of its 2,500-strong membership voting in favour of the change. Annika Sorenstam, the winner of 10 majors, is also expected to be among the first women to join the club. Mr Dawson added that there could now be certain women 'fast-tracked' into membership. He said: 'The membership has also acted to fast-track a significant initial number of women to become members in the coming months. 'This is a very important and positive day in the history of the R&A. 'The R&A has served the sport of golf well for 260 years and I am confident that the club will continue to do so in future with the support of all its members, both women and men.' Cabinet Secretary for Sport and Equalities Shona Robison said the decision was a 'step on the road' to full equality for women . Cabinet Secretary for Sport and Equalities Shona Robison has heralded the club's decision. Miss Robison said: 'In the week before Scotland welcomes golf fans from across the world for the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, this decision by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St Andrews to admit women members is another step on the road to full equality in sport and society. 'This decision by the world's most exclusive and prestigious golf club sees real progress towards making golf a more equal sport which is very important. 'We firmly believe that there should be no barriers at all to being involved in sport with everyone able to participate in and enjoy sport - whoever they are and whatever their background. 'I hope this welcome development leads to the few remaining single-gender golf clubs to take a similar path.' Three all-male clubs are on the British Open rotation - Royal St George's, Royal Troon and Muirfield - but they may soon also change their membership policies. The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers is set to begin its review process on the issue of men-only membership at Muirfield, East Lothian, in late September. There are also increasing signs of movement on the matter at Royal St George's in Sandwich, Kent, which hosted the 2011 Open. South Ayrshire's Royal Troon - which is scheduled to stage the 2016 Open - appears to have no plans to move from single-sex membership. However, it points out that the town's ladies club use the course - despite having their own clubhouse, captain and committee." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Women will be allowed to join the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, St Andrews .\nThe club had a men-only membership policy for 260 years - until tonight .\nAround 85 per cent of its 2,500 global members voted for the change ." } ]

Judy Huth's sexual battery lawsuit does not specify how much she is seeking from Cosby, who has in recent weeks faced renewed accusations that he drugged and sexually assaulted more than a dozen women for many years. Huth's lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, however, is the first time that a woman has claimed she was underage when she was abused, and it is the first lawsuit Cosby has faced claiming sexual abuse since 2005. Scroll down for video . New victim: A woman is suing Bill Cosby saying the he sexually assaulted her when she was just a teenager at the Playboy Mansion . Huth's lawsuit states that she and a 16-year-old friend first met Cosby at a Los Angeles-area film shoot and the comedian gave the girls drinks a week later at a tennis club. The lawsuit says the three played billiards, with the girls having to drink a beer every time Cosby won a game. The lawsuit then states that Cosby took them to the Playboy Mansion after several drinks, and told the teenagers to lie and say they were 19 years old if asked. Her lawsuit states Cosby forced her to perform a sex act on him with his hand after she returned from the bathroom, with the actor waiting for her on a bed. Sued: Andrea Constand (above) claimed Cosby drugged and molested her in 2004, and her case was settled out of court by the actor . She also says he tried to put his hand down her pants. An email message sent to Cosby's attorney Martin Singer was not immediately returned. Singer has denied previous accusations or said the women raising the claims in interviews had been discredited. Singer's statement does not apply to a lawsuit brought in 2005 by Andrea Constand, who claimed Cosby drugged and molested her at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004. Constand, who worked for the women's basketball team at Temple University, and Cosby settled the case before trial. Cosby resigned from the university's board of trustees on Monday. He had been the school's public face, appearing in advertisements, fundraising campaigns and delivering commencement speeches. Cosby, 77, has never been criminally charged stemming from any of the sex-abuse allegations, many of which date back to the 1970s and 1980s. Huth claims she suffered severe emotional distress and that she discovered its impact on her within the past three years, which allows her to file the lawsuit under California law. 'This traumatic incident, at such a tender age, has caused psychological damage and mental anguish for (Huth) that has caused significant problems throughout her life,' the lawsuit states. Interestingly enough, while Mark Whitaker’s biography of Bill Cosby made no mention of any of these allegations, it did talk about how Cosby was a frequent guest at the Playboy Mansion. Underage: The lawsuit claims that Cosby (above with Playboy Mansion founder Hugh Hefner) told the girls to lie and say they were 19 if asked . Cosby's laywer, Martin Singer, released a statement last month calling recent rape allegations 'increasingly ridiculous' and 'completely illogical.' 'This situation is an unprecedented example of the media's breakneck rush to run stories without any corroboration or adherence to traditional journalistic standards,' says Singer. 'Over and over again, we have refuted these new unsubstantiated stories with documentary evidence, only to have a new uncorroborated story crop up out of the woodwork. When will it end?' He then closed by saying, 'It is long past time for this media vilification of Mr. Cosby to stop.' More than ten women have come forward in the last month saying they were attacked by Cosby, with Renita Chaney Hill, Louisa Moritz and Andrea Leslie the latest additions. Four of the women claim they were teenagers at the time. One of the accusers is supermodel Janice Dickinson, who claims that during a dinner in 1982 the actor gave her a pill and when she woke up he was on top of her. Another four ladies; Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis, Tamara Green and Therese Serignese have all shared remarkably similar stories in which they claim to have shared a drink or a pill with Cosby and then woken up after or while they say he was sexually assaulting them. Also coming forward recently is Carla Ferrigno, wife of Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, who says Cosby tried to sexually assault her during a gathering at his house in 1967. What's more, Cosby allegedly tried to use a friend to help court Ferrigno, and allegedly made his move on the former Playboy Bunny just moments after his own wife, Camille, left the room. When asked to speak about these claims in an AP interview, Cosby said he had 'no response' and 'no comment.' These continued allegations are having a major impact on Cosby's work, with Netflix postponing the airing of his new comedy special, Bill Cosby 77, which was due to air the day after Thanksgiving, and NBC pulling the plug on a comedy project they were developing with the Cosby Show star. TV Land has also announced they will no longer air reruns of The Cosby Show on the network." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Judy Huth says she was sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby in 1974 when she was just 15 years old at the Playboy Mansion .\nShe has now filed a lawsuit against the actor, saying that she met him on a film set and that he gave her alcohol before taking her to the mansion .\nShe then says she was told to lie and say she was 19, and that Cosby forced her to perform a sex act on him with his hand .\nThis is the first lawsuit Cosby has faced since he settled one out of court in 2005 .\nHuth is arguing the statute of limitations should not apply as she suffered severe emotional distress and only discovered its impact on her within the past three years ." } ]

Maxine Carr met her ‘besotted’ new husband on Facebook and spent months exchanging messages with him online before revealing her shameful past, it has emerged. The 37-year-old, who served 21 months in jail for providing killer Ian Huntley with a false alibi after he murdered Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, both ten, in 2002, is said to have initiated the romance after finding him online. Carr, who now lives under a new identity thanks to a lifelong anonymity order, spent months exchanging messages with the man who she ended up marrying in a £5,000 private ceremony last week. According to sources, former teaching assistant Carr ‘entranced’ her lover, who is now said to be ‘utterly devoted’ to her despite knowing about her shameful past. A source told The Sun: ‘He’s lovely and doesn’t like drama. He’s totally under the control of Maxine. ‘It took time for him to get to grips with who she was, but by then he was utterly devoted.’ He apparently had no idea of her real identity until she revealed it to him several months after finding him online, much to the surprise and shock of his family. However, despite her past, the pair recently splashed out on a wedding at a three-star country hotel where guests enjoyed a three-course banquet and sparkling wine. After exchanging vows in front of a registrar, the newlyweds posed for photographs on the hotel’s patio before toasting their nuptials with friends and family. The former girlfriend of Soham murderer Huntley wore a £2,000 ivory dress for her big day and was given away by her 71-year-old mother. Following the ceremony, the newlyweds departed for a honeymoon at a family-friendly resort, although it is not known whether they travelled abroad or remained in the UK for the romantic break. Due to her lifelong anonymity order, Carr assumes a completely new identity and is said to have changed her appearance so she is not easily recognisable. Scroll down for video .

During this interview Carr told police Holly Wells was the type of girl she would like as a daughter . The order, which was handed to her upon her release from prison in 2004, restricts publication of details of her new partner or wedding because it could lead to her identification. Carr was the girlfriend of school caretaker Huntley when he was arrested soon after the bodies of schoolgirls Holly and Jessica were found in August 2002. They had been missing from their homes in Soham, Cambridgeshire, for 13 days. Huntley eventually admitted that the girls had died in his house after he had invited them in, but said their deaths were accidental. He had told them that Carr was in the house, but she had actually gone to Grimsby to visit relatives. Although Carr was not implicated in the murder, she gave Huntley a false alibi, claiming that she had been with him at the time of the killings, which delayed the police investigation. In fact she was at a nightclub in Grimsby with another man.

The Islamic scholar quickly replies 'stationary and does not move', before launching into a long-winded and confusing explanation that appears to the suggest that if the Earth was moving, airliners would never be able to reach their destination. Scroll down for video . Bizarre: Saudi cleric Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari has publicly claimed that the Earth is a static object . After telling the student that the Earth does not rotate, Sheikh al-Khaibari attempts to back up his argument with religious statements and quotes from other Islamic clerics. Perhaps struggling to make his argument understood, the religious lecturer then attempts to use a visual aid to illustrate how difficult it would be for airliners to travel if the Earth is spinning. Beginning his bizarre summary, Sheikh al-Khaibari 'First of all, where are we now? We go to Sharjah airport [in the United Arab Emirates] to travel to China by plane, clear?' Holding a cup of water aloft, the cleric adds: 'Focus with me, this is Earth'. Over the next 30 seconds, Sheikh al-Khaibari enters into a baffling explanation of his point of view, claiming that if the Earth truly was rotating, then airliners could just stop in the air and wait for the country to arrive beneath them, rather than waste time actually flying. 'China would be coming towards it,' he argues. On the other hand, he said, if the Earth was moving in the opposite direction the plane would never be able to reach its destination because 'China is also rotating'. Struggle: In an effort to make his argument understood, the religious lecturer attempts to explain that it would be difficult for airliners to travel around the world if the Earth was always spinning away from them . On concluding his baffling explanation, Sheikh al-Khaibari went on to claim the NASA lunar mission was Hollywood fabrication and that humans have never been to the moon, according to Al Arabiya. Video of the incident has inevitably proved a hit on social media, where users started an Arab-language hashtag that translates as #cleric_rejects_rotation_of_Earth. One user pointed out that the footage first appeared February 15 - the 451th anniversary of Galileo Galilei's birth. Galileo was famously twice accused of heresy by the Catholic Church after publicly supporting the Copernican theory that the Earth and other planets rotate around the sun.

It was revealed Wednesday that Ward was under the influence of marijuana at the time of his death - enough to 'impair judgement' The family released a statement claiming that Stewart was accelerating through a caution as all other drivers slowed. The statement says Stewart 'intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car towards him' and that the talk about Ward only confuses the issue. 'The focus should be on Mr. Stewart and not my son. This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin.' Ward was fatally struck by Stewart while getting out of his car to confront the racing veteran, after the two collided on a prior lap at a race on August 9 at upstate New York's Canandaigua Motorsports Park track. No toxicology tests were conducted on Stewart, following New York law, but he was interviewed that night by a certified drug recognition expert, Tantillo said.

Moments before: Kevin Ward Jr appears right in front of Stewart's car, in a YouTube grab from the deadly collision . Authorities maintained early in the investigation there was no evidence of criminal behavior by Stewart, but refrained from clearing him while they tried to determine if he hit the throttle as he approached Ward. Stewart and Ward bumped cars during the race and the collision sent Ward into an outside retaining wall while Stewart remained in the race. Ward jumped from his car in an apparent attempt to confront Stewart during the ensuing caution period. When Stewart's car came around on the next lap, Ward, while in the middle of the track, pointed at Stewart. As Stewart approached Ward, his car appeared to swerve, striking Ward and throwing him 50 feet. Stewart, who had often driven in non-NASCAR races because of his love for competition, went into seclusion for the next three weeks. He returned to NASCAR on August 31.

The drivers want taxi licensing laws to be enforced and claim the taxi service app, Uber, is taking a large percentage of the market while unburdened by the regulatory costs black cabs are subject to. Scroll down for video . Big Ben rises in the background over the Houses of Parliament as black cab drivers blockade Parliament Square in protest against the boom in unlicensed minicabs and rickshaw drivers on the streets of London . The drivers were holding a mass slow-driving demonstration on Whitehall in anger at what they perceive is a lax attitude from the authorities towards unlicensed taxis on the streets of the UK capital . There are around 25,000 licensed black taxis in London, the only ones which can be legally hailed in the street. But unlicensed cabs, operated for cash by private individuals, are widely available in busy spots at night . A protest was also held in June in cities around the world, including London, against the US company, which uses freelance drivers with GPS-enabled smartphones to link up with passengers. The company has expanded globally into more than 100 cities in 36 countries and is considered such a growing force that some of Silicon Valley's biggest investors have ploughed money into it. The company is currently valued at around £11 billion. Yesterday, the general secretary of The London Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA), who organised the protest slammed Uber. He called it a 'massive American monster that uses its financial muscle and army of lawyers to threaten, cajole and kowtow licensing authorities and regulators', City AM reports. Yesterday, drivers were also seen venting their anger at London's mayor, Boris Johnson, they unveiled a giant blow-up rat representing the his approach to the issue. 'Apparently, we're iconic to London, which we are. We should be looked after,' said John O'Sullivan, 40, in his taxi on The Mall, the processional route from Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square. There are around 25,000 licensed black taxis in London, which can be hailed in the street, and 60,000 licensed private hire vehicles, which can be pre-booked but not flagged down. But unlicensed cabs, operated by private individuals out to make a few extra pounds, are widely available in busy spots at night. They are far cheaper than black cabs, whose cost rises into double figures for even short trips. 'We've been asking them for a long time for greater enforcement against illegal minicabs, touting,' said Mr McNamara. 'Every night of the week in London, there are people being attacked, robbed, assaulted by unlicensed, uninsured minicab drivers,' he told AFP. 'The problem in recent years has bloomed. It's now completely out of control at night in the West End,' the city's entertainment district. 'Apparently, we're iconic to London': Taxi drivers say they have been asking for greater enforcement of rules . Knowledgeable: Licensed London black cab drivers, dubbed the 'eyes and ears' of the city, spend three years on a moped learning 'The Knowledge' - every street in London and routes across it. A driver stops to take a picture as his fellow cabbies creep along Whitehall yesterday afternoon . A passenger and her dog peer out at the chaos surrounding them . Besides unregulated drivers, cabbies also hit out at the pedal rickshaws 'clogging up' central London and 'ripping off' tourists. Licensed London black cab drivers, dubbed the 'eyes and ears' of the city, spend three years on a moped learning 'The Knowledge' - every street in London and routes across it. 'You can't ride a moped around London for three years without falling in love with the place,' said Mr McNamara. 'When you know every inch of it as we do, this is the greatest city on Earth and it's being managed by people who wouldn't be allowed to run some third-world backwater,' he said. The giant rat was placed next to the statue of king Charles I - to which all road distances to London are measured. Bemused tourists posed for photographs as cabbies slowly drove past. Bob Limerick, 58, a cab driver of 15 years, said: 'We just want the law enforced. Simple as that.' O'Sullivan said: 'We go through years and years of doing The Knowledge, which is not easy, and then it seems like we're being shafted by TfL (Transport for London).' Leon Daniels, TfL's managing director for surface transport, said the protest was regrettable. 'The taxi trade has several forums with TfL and the mayor. We urge them to communicate directly with us on the specific issues they wish to discuss,' he said." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Black cabs choked up the streets in go-slow protest at lack of enforcement .\nThey are the only cabs licensed to legally pick up passengers on the street .\nBut unlicensed cabs and rickshaws have muscled in on their trade .\nAlso angry at Uber app, claiming group do not comply with taximeter laws ." } ]

'We as black people, we got a lot of crooks,' the NBA legend told CNN in an interview he gave after taking heat for similar comments he made on a Philadelphia sports radio show last week. The 51-year-old, who also famously supported the acquittal of George Zimmerman, publicly agreed with the grand jury decision not to indict Darren Wilson and doesn't fault police who tend to single out black people while investigating crimes. 'There's a reason they racially profile us at times,' he told CNN. 'Sometimes it's wrong, sometimes its right.' 'There's a reason they racially profile us': In an interview with CNN, Barkley defended his recent support of Ferguson police and said black people can tend toward lawlessness and are, therefor, at fault for racial profiling . 'We have to look at ourselves in the mirror,' he said of people in black communities. 'To act like we hold no responsibility for some of this stuff is disingenuous' He maintains a sort of 'bad seed' take on both police and the black community. There are good cops and bad cops, he said, black criminals and those who abide by the law. And since, as Barkley said, the black community 'got a lot of crooks,' he thinks casting blame at police helps no one. 'We have to look at ourselves in the mirror,' he said of people in black communities. 'To act like we hold no responsibility for some of this stuff is disingenuous.' Interviewer Brooke Baldwin then turned the subject to another case involving police and their handling of situations involving black men--that of Eric Garner, a New York man who died after several police held him down and put him in a choke hold. Backlash: Civil rights activist Van Jones, himself a CNN contributor, called Barkley's comments inflammatory and irresponsible . 'I don't think they were trying to kill Mr. Garner,' Barkley told Baldwin. 'He was a big man and they tried to get him down.' Barkley said the media tend to only bring up race when situations like these emerge, and then it's the same group of national civil rights figures--and not members of the specific community--who voice outrage. '[The] same sad sack of black characters,' he called them. 'We need someone in St. Louis to stand up and say \"hey let's handle this situation.\"' CNN's own Van Jones, himself a black civil rights activist, spoke to Don Lemon to hit back at Barkley for the comments he said were 'inflammatory' and 'irresponsible.' 'Barkley really went far beyond just saying he agreed or disagreed with that grand jury. He said a lot of things that were really inflammatory,' Jones said. 'The worst of it was his contention that African Americans who were concerned about this case were somehow anti-cop. 'That is really dangerous. African Americans want better policing, not no policing,' Jones continued, before he said that African Americans shouldn't have to choose between the two. The outrage began on Monday, when Barkley's comments to Mike Missanelli of Philadelphia's 97.5 The Fanatic last made Tuesday started to be heard. 'There is no excuse for people to be out there burning down people's businesses, burning down police cars,' he told Missanelli as he referred to the rioters as 'scumbags.' Barkley went on to commend police who work in black areas. 'If it wasn’t for the cops we would be living in the Wild, Wild West in our neighborhoods,' he said. 'We can’t pick out certain incidentals that don’t go our way and act like the cops are all bad. Start of the controversy: Barkley told a Philadelphia radio show host last week that he supports the Ferguson police and the grand jury's decision not to indict unarmed black teen Michael Brown's killer Darren Wilson . 'Scumbags': Barkley made his stance known to Mike Missanelli (pictured) of Philadelphia's 97.5 The Fanatic on Tuesday, when he described the looters in Ferguson as 'scumbags' 'Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops?' he said. Barkley, who's become a high-profile sports commentator since leaving the NBA behind in 2000, said the media is at fault for at least some of what's gone on in the wake of Michael Brown's August 4 death. 'The true story came out from the grand jury testimony,' he said. 'I can’t believe anything I hear on television anymore. 'And, that’s why I don’t like talking about race issues with the media anymore, because they love this stuff, and lead people to jump to conclusions. 'The media shouldn’t do that. They never do that when black people kill each other.' Barkley also publicly sided with a decision to exonerate George Zimmerman in 2013 after he was tried in the shooting death of another unarmed black teen, Trayvon Martin, notes the Christian Science Monitor. Looters robbed Ferguson businesses and set fire to property in the wake of the grand jury decision not to convict Darren Wilson, which many have criticized as a step in the wrong direction for the town where tensions between citizens and police have long been an issue ." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The opinionated NBA great from Alabama defended his comments calling Ferguson rioters 'scumbags' that made waves Monday .\nThe 51-year-old told CNN he believes he and other black Americans 'have to look at ourselves in the mirror'\nBarkley also maintained that white cops do not shoot black people out of racism .\nHe also voiced his support for the NYPD in the Eric Garner police choke hold death case ." } ]

On Monday, the 33-year-old posted an unintentionally provocative picture of Malia Obama which he somehow eclipsed today by live-tweeting his experience serving jury duty. The picture of the 16-year-old first daughter has been making the rounds online, and is a screen grab of a televised event that focuses on her back side. Scroll down for full jury duty live tweet and audio . Arizona Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett has been causing controversy on social media with a two controversial posts this week . On Monday, Dockett reposted this picture of 16-year-old first daughter Malia Obama on Instagram. The photo has been making the rounds online the past day or so, but Dockett chose to repost a picture uploaded by an Instagram user who captioned the photo 'When her prom?' An Instagram used with the username 'dreday_4' reposted the image to his feed on Monday with the caption 'When her prom?'. Dockett apparently found the picture funny since he commented 'Omgggg' and reposted it on his own profile, adding 'lmfaooo' to the caption. It appears both have since deleted the picture of Malia, a minor, from their profiles. But if Dockett felt any shame in posting the controversial picture of the eldest first daughter, he didn't show it on Tuesday when he started tweeting bright and early from inside court where he was serving on a jury. And like most people called in to perform their civic duty, Dockett wasn't too happy to be there, and continued to tweet even after a bailiff asked all of the jurors to hand over their phones. 'Damn I got jury duty today!!! F*! I'm not the one for this,' he wrote. Dockett went on to express his distrust for the American justice department, writing the the system is flawed and because 'people who doing jury duty with me has already made there mind up on this guy...so do I really matter?' He then dispenses from legal advice, while also revealing a detail of the case. According to his tweets, the person on trial may have talked to investigators without a lawyer. On Tuesday, Dockett went on to live-tweet from court where he was serving jury duty. Pictured above in a silly shot posted to his Instagram account recently . 'I wish this guy would have told me what his intentions was, I could have helped him plan this out better to get away with it! #badplan' 'Rule #1 don't talk with out a lawyer!!!! #2 all cases can be beat!!! #3 call Dockett to help plan!! #4 keep don't talk with out a Lawyer!!' At one point during his day on jury, Dockett goes on a tangent about the police officer watching over his group and about how he's not intimidated by the man. 'They bring this big a police in here like he supposed to scare me while I'm looking like I don't give a s***. I'm like you wand [coffee] and [donuts].' Dockett gives even more annoyed when the police officer tells him he can't elave to get food. 'I just told this guy I'm hungry and he's like I can't leave.. wtf U mean I can't eat! Ok watch this. Im gonna order pizza off this app! F.U.!' He also boasts about double-parking his $450,000 car in a handicap spot, which he gained access to with a sticker from a recent surgery, and the registered pistol inside. While he tweets several times about possibly getting kicked out of court, he continued to tweet into Tuesday evening. He even appears to have come around to see the legal process as at least entertaining. 'I need to be a lawyer...this is crazy!!!' one of his more recent tweets reads. This isn't the first time Dockett has made controversial remarks on Twitter. Last year, he refused to apology for a racially-insensitive tweet about Asians, in which he wrote: 'Apple has a new device out for Chinese people. The iOpener'.

He has an IQ of 192 . A man with a claim to being the second-most intelligent person on the planet has revealed that he takes a mixture of 38 drugs and pills every day in a bid to stay in top mental and physical form. Rick Rosner, 54, boasts an IQ of 192, which has seemingly only been topped by a Greek doctor, Evangelos Katsioulis, according to the world genius directory. But despite his apparent intellectual capacity, Rosner lists himself as unemployed while he works on writing a book entitled Dumbass Genius. The former TV writer and bouncer instead spends his time developing theories, working on a book, and visiting some five gyms per day, aided by cocktail of medical supplements. Rosner, who revealed the routine to Business Insider, listed a staggering array of substances, ranging from coffee and aspirin to an experimental pill designed to remove protein from the brain. Speaking to MailOnline about his routine, Rosner said he takes the pills because: 'I'd like to remain healthy and live for as long as possible. 'A lot of these things may not do anything for you - if I had to guess maybe only a third of this stuff has benefits. 'I try to read up about what these things are supposed to do - as new studies come out sometimes I swap things in and out.' 'I probably alter what I take on a three-to-four-monthly rotation.' Along with the supplements, Rosner has also estimated that he spends around two and a half hours per day in the gym, sometimes visiting five locations in a day. 'Working on my book': Rosner, who tweeted this picture of himself recently, now spends his time writing his book Dumbass Genius . When asked why he sticks to the intense routine, he replied: 'I like it', and said that it is part of the 'obsessive' personality which led him to testing his mind rigorously enough to come out with the 192 IQ score. Rosner, who lives in Los Angeles with his wife of more than 20 years, spent years as a bouncer in bars, and even as a nude model, before starting to work in television. He said his IQ score was originally came from 'desperation to have something going for me' while working menial jobs and trying to get a girlfriend. Pills, pills pills: Rosner listed 38 separate supplements, though admits a two-thirds of them probably don't do anything . But even now, after a series of jobs in television and even an Emmy nomination, Rosner defends the tests as 'the best of a bad bunch' when it comes to quantifying intellect. In a nod to the fact that IQ doesn't tell the whole story, between gym sessions and pill-popping Rosner writes a book of memoirs he will entitle Dumbass Genius.

The FBI has identified the ISIS executioner who appears in the beheading videos of US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and British aid worker David Haines. Agency director James Comey told reporters today that he knew who the militant was but would not be releasing his identity or nationality to the media. The executioner, who has a British accent and has been dubbed Jihadi John, is one of four British jihadis known as the 'Beatles' holding hostages in Syria. He appears in the group’s execution videos wielding a knife – and taunts President Obama before carrying out the killings . Today British officials would not say if the identity had been shared with the authorities on London, and would not be drawn on whether any arrests are imminent. A Home Office spokeswoman said: 'We won't be commenting on matters of security at this stage.' Comey said the FBI believes that ISIS is 'looking to try to do something in the U.S.,' but added he did not believe the group is capable of a sophisticated or complex attack. During questioning from reporters at the FBI headquarters Comey also spoke about Khorasan group, an al Qaeda affiliate who were targeted along with ISIS by American airstrikes in Syria earlier this week. He said he was 'not confident at all' the threat from Khorasan militant group was thwarted by the airstrikes. 'We don't have complete visibility about their activities. 'We believe they've been working toward an attack, but it's hard to say whether it would come tomorrow, in three weeks, or in three months,' he said. FBI Director James Comey (pictured) told reporters today that he knew who the militant was but would not be releasing his identity or nationality to the media. The executioner, who has a British accent, is one of four British jihadis known as the 'Beatles' holding hostages in Syria . Comey added the FBI is still working hard to identify two people in ISIS videos who appear to have American or Canadian accents. 'We have a big focus going on that right now,' Comey said. He said about a dozen Americans are believed to be fighting with extremist groups in Syria at the moment. He says more than 100 Americans have either tried to go to Syria and been arrested, gone successfully, or gone and come back. The figure of 100 has often been misinterpreted to represent the number of U.S. citizens fighting in Syria. Comey says all the Americans who have returned after fighting with extremist groups are either under investigation, under surveillance or have been arrested. The director says he's not confident the U.S. has identified every American who had joined up with militants in Syria.

Today British officials would not say if the identity had been shared with the authorities on London, and would not be drawn on whether any arrests are imminent . Yesterday British Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond revealed intelligence agencies were closing the net on Jihadi John. Hammond, who just ten days ago admitted special forces didn't know where the Islamic terror group was holding its British hostages, said the investigation into tracking down the killer with the British accent was 'narrowing down the field'. Speaking to American television network CNN at the United Nations summit in New York, Mr Hammond said: 'We are getting warm, we are working on all the leads. 'There's a big investigation and we are getting warm. We're narrowing down the field, but I don't want to say any more at this stage.' Earlier this week it was revealed that US spy planes are flying above Britain monitoring telephone and computer signals in a bid to track down Jihadi John and those who are communicating with him. The aircraft, manned by British pilots and carrying FBI agents, are equipped with technology so advanced they can detect heat coming off a keyboard when a button is pressed. A source revealed Jihadi John, comes from a South London suburb about 10 miles from Central London. The signals and data collected by the spy planes is being sent back to the US to be analysed, the Sunday Express reported. An FBI source told the paper: 'Electronic footprints might help us pinpoint the location of the British IS executioner because we believe there are associates of his in the UK who are directly communicating with him.'

Comey said he was 'not confident at all' the threat from Khorasan militant group was thwarted by the airstrikes . Strong presence: Military leaders have said about two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 Islamic State militants were in Syria. The U.S. has also been increasing its surveillance flights over Syria, getting better intelligent on potential targets and militant movements . International revulsion after the scenes were posted on the internet sparked a massive manhunt by British and American security services and the investigation has now focused on a district about ten miles from Central London. It's also believed the planes are being used to study the movements of Jihadi John's suspected Midlands associates. An intelligence services source said the delicate detection equipment on board the planes had previously been used successfully to work out a suspected terrorist's computer password because of the heat signature left on the keys. The intelligence source said the surveillance plane had recently been used over Birmingham in relation to Junaid Hussain - who is suspected of being one of the so-called 'Beatles' holding hostages. Defiant: A fluttering ISIS flag is flown over a hill in Tel Abyad, on the Syrian-Turkish border. The area, which is in the heart of the Raqqa countryside, has been the subject of numerous coalition airstrikes . The planes are understood to be military aircraft which are sometimes used by the police to find escaped prisoners or stolen vehicles. The US Senate has also offered a £6 million reward to anyone providing information that could lead to the capture of Jihadi John. A team of more than a dozen US investigators from an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force flew to the UK, where they are working with MI5 and anti-terrorist officers from the Metropolitan Police Force to identify the man. It is believed family members of Jihadi John have been interviewed by Met officers and an FBI agent. The source said Jihadi John was known to the security services even before he went to Syria, but had been regarded as a 'low-level player'.

The Montenegro forward has been strongly linked with a move to Inter Milan following a forgettable first season in England in which he spent much of his time on the treatment table, making a total of two Premier League starts. But Manuel Pellegrini insists that Jovetic is going nowhere and City duly demolished Inter’s neighbours by scoring four goals inside the opening 26 minutes at Heinz Field. Jovetic made a key contribution to an emphatic win, scoring twice and only missing out on a hat-trick because another well-taken effort was ruled out for offside.

Maybe there are a lot of rumours about his future but Stevan will stay with us.' As good as Jovetic and City were last night, Milan defended atrociously. They looked every inch a fallen giant that finished eighth in Serie A last season and lost their opening game in this International Champions Cup competition 3-0 to Olympiacos last week. When they met City in the Audi Cup in Munich last summer, they were five down before half-time before recovering to 5-3 and this encounter had similar hallmarks. City threatened to run riot even though they left Joe Hart, Yaya Toure, David Silva and James Milner to work on their fitness back at the club’s training base in New Jersey. They went ahead after 12 minutes when Jesus Navas slipped the ball through to Jovetic in the right-hand channel. Former Chelsea defender Alex was painfully slow to react and Adil Rami could not get across in time to prevent the City forward steering the ball inside Michael Agazzi’s near post. Sinclair doubled the lead two minutes later when Rami made a mess of dealing with Gael Clichy’s cross from the right, and he hooked the loose ball beyond Agazzi into the top corner. Bruno Zuculini should have made it three when Aleksandar Kolarov’s cross found him unmarked in front of goal but the next was not long in coming as Navas attempted to meet Jovetic’s crossfield pass with an ambitious bicycle kick which took a deflection off Mattia De Sciglio and crept in at the near post.

Nigerian triallist Kelechi Iheanacho, still not sufficiently signed up to City’s books to warrant a name on the back of his shirt, then scored his second goal in as many games to make it 4-0. There seemed little danger when the ball fell to the teenage striker on the edge of the area but he needed almost no backlift to send in a left-foot shot that Agazzi could only help on its way into the net. A linesman’s flag chalked off an even better finish from Jovetic before Sulley Muntari pulled one back for Milan, tapping in at the far post from Bryan Cristante’s corner. Half-time storms caused the restart to be held up by half an hour as players and fans sheltered from the lightning, which was perhaps appropriate given that Milan were preparing to introduce explosive striker Mario Balotelli off the bench against his old club.

However, Jovetic killed off any hopes of a comeback in the 58th minute with his second goal of the game. There was still plenty of work to do when the Montenegrin met Kolarov’s low cross, and Jovetic dinked the ball past one defender with an exquisite touch of his right foot and despatched it into the net with his left.

The digital fight started when Trump tweeted that the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star is a 'major loser.' Brand, however, hit back - and eventually suggested that Trump is not the entrepreneur he has claimed to be, by linking to an an article that mentioned his multi-million dollar inheritance and financial aid from the US government. 'I watched Russell Brand @rustyrockets on the @jimmyfallon show the other night—what the hell do people see in Russell—a major loser!' Trump first wrote. Trump's comments came three days after Brand appeared on 'Late Show with David Letterman' on Monday. Brand is not scheduled as a guest this week on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'. Scroll down for video . Attack: Donald Trump called comedian Russell Brand 'a major loser' on Twitter Thursday . Split: Pop star Katy Perry and Russell Brand were married in 2010 and legally divorced in 2012 . Insult: Trump posted this message slamming Brand on Tuesday . Trump then published another tweet, which read '.@katyperry must have been drunk when she married Russell Brand @rustyrockets – but he did send me a really nice letter of apology!' It was not immediately clear what 'letter of apology' Trump was referring to. Perry and Brand were married in 2010 and divorced two years later, with Perry telling Vogue in June 2013 that Brand announced his intention to divorce in a 2011 New Year's Eve text message. Brand soon retaliated and responded to Trump's second message with jokes about Trump's sobriety and his much-lampooned hairline. '.@realDonaldTrump are you drunk when you write these tweets? Or does that foam you spray on your bald head make you high?' he tweeted. Brand later tweeted '.@realDonaldTrump I don't think your daddy left you any witty ripostes, and everything you have you inherited.' Included in that tweet was a link to an excerpt from 'The Self-Made Myth: The Truth About How Government Helps Individuals and Businesses Succeed' - which disputed Trump's image that he independently built a real estate empire. Trump inherited between $40million and $200million from his father Fred Trump - who himself received government funds in both the Great Depression and World War Two for projects, according to the excerpt. Counterattack: Brand replied to Trump's message about his marriage to Katy Perry with jokes about Trump's sobriety and his hairline . Strike back: Brand eventually linked to an an article that mentioned Trump's multimillion-dollar from his father inheritance and financial aid from the US government . Fighting words: Brand also linked to a second article which slammed Trump on several fronts . When Donald Trump was head of The Trump Organization in 1990 and the company faced a $5billion debt, 'The survival of the company was made possible only by a bailout pact agreed upon in August of that same year by some 70 banks, allowing Trump to defer on nearly $1 billion in debt, as well as to take out second and third mortgages on almost all of his properties,' the book excerpt argued. 'If it were not for the collective effort of all banks and parties involved in that 1990 deal, Trump’s business would have gone bankrupt and failed.' Brand later tweeted '.@realDonaldTrump Also -' and included a link to an April 2011 opinion article from The Atlantic which slammed Trump on several fronts. That article quoted 'a former Deutsche Bank employee familiar with Trump from this $640-million deal gone awry on the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago. Trump was sued to collect on a $40-million personal guarantee that was part of the deal.' Direct address: Trump tweeted at Katy Perry 'I watched Russell Brand and I think his mind is fried - he looks really bad. Russell is a total joke, a dummy who is lost!' Trump went on to Tweet at Perry following Brand's links . Silence: Perry has so far not responded to the feud on Twitter . '[The Chicago deal] was pretty minor given all the other things going on at the time,' the ex-employee told The Atlantic. 'Real estate developers do default from time to time. But this guy has been doing it for 20 years, failing. Remember the Trump Shuttle? That's why he'll never run. His finances just won't hold up to scrutiny. It's pretty well known in financial circles that this guy is a deadbeat.' Included in the piece was an April 2011 NBC report around the time Trump considered running for president, which reported Trump had faced multiple casino bankruptcies and lawsuits from various business ventures. Following Brand's tweets, Trump later pulled Perry more directly into the spat, writing '.@katyperry Katy, what the hell were you thinking when you married loser Russell Brand. There is a guy who has got nothing going, a waste!' He also tweeted '.@katyperry I watched Russell Brand and I think his mind is fried - he looks really bad.

Moyes, 51, allegedly erupted in a rage after he was subjected to a torrent of abuse as he arrived with friends. One drinker is said to have goaded him about his recent sacking by Manchester United. Witnesses say Moyes suddenly turned round and lunged at Joshua Gillibrand, 23, hitting him on the side of the head. There was a brief scuffle near the bar entrance, the pair were separated and Moyes was restrained by his friends who dragged him away until he had calmed down, they claimed. Investigation: Former Manchester United manager David Moyes is being probed by Lancashire police over an allegation of assault made by Joshua Gillibrand, a 23-year-old joiner . Sacked: Moyes lasted less than a year at Old Trafford after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson . Mr Gillibrand, a joiner, told The Sun: 'He grabbed me around the neck and struck me on the back of the head. I ended up face down on the floor. 'I felt I was going to die. There were tables flying everywhere and glass all over the place.' Mr Gillibrand suffered a lump on the side of his head and a bruised shoulder and went to hospital. On Thursday night police confirmed they had launched an investigation into the fracas and sources said they were set to speak to the former Premier League manager. The incident happened at around 10pm on Wednesday after Moyes and friends – including Derek Shaw, former chairman at Preston North End, one of Moyes’ previous clubs – had dined at Piccolino’s in Clitheroe, Lancashire, before going to the nearby Emporium wine bar. A group standing outside the bar began making abusive remarks when they saw Moyes, who was humiliatingly sacked as United manager last month after less than a year in charge and is understood to have left with a £4.5million pay off. A witness said: ‘Moyes started to head in with his mates but he was being barracked by drinkers outside. He was getting a bit of lip from a couple of blokes and then one guy, who was a bit drunk, said something about him being s*** and having never won anything. ‘Moyes kept his head down and carried on walking towards the door with his friends and everyone thought he was just ignoring the banter. But then stopped, turned on his heels and quickly marched back.’ Wine Bar: The alleged incident is said to have taken place at the Emporium in Clitheroe, Lancashire . Reveller: Mr Gillibrand claims he was attacked at just after 10pm last night after an incident outside the bar. He did not require hospital treatment . The man, who witnessed the end of the incident said: ‘Moyes had completely lost it and was bright purple in the face and quite clearly out of control. ‘No one could quite believe what had happened. We were stunned. He’s obviously had enough of all the abuse he’s been getting after his miserable season.’ Out and about: David Moyes with wife Pamela in December . Another witness, a 22-year-old man, said: ‘Josh was giving him banter, I think it might have been a chant about him leaving Manchester United, nothing very offensive, and initially Moyes just walked past him into the bar. ‘But moments later Moyes came back outside, squared up to Josh.’ The witness, an acquaintance of Mr Gillibrand, added: ‘Josh is a well-built lad but he’s not particularly mouthy, and he’s not really a football fan at all. I think he was too stunned at what had happened to react. ‘Afterwards Josh was really angry about it, he was saying he wanted to take it further.‘He was saying, “Whoa, I was only joking”. It’s amazing to think that someone who a few weeks ago was managing one of the world’s top football clubs was scuffling outside a bar on a Wednesday night in Clitheroe.’ Another friend of Mr Gillibrand said: ‘He was quite drunk and went up and said something to him like, “What are you doing around here?” ‘It didn’t go down at all well with Moyes who started swearing at him, so Josh said something like, “Well get out of town then”, and turned his back on him, which is when Moyes hit him in the back of the head.’ A police car was flagged down and officers dealt with the incident. Moyes was taken aside by the officers and spoken to. Mr Gillibrand’s mother Susan, 53, said her son had been shocked and had suffered a couple of bumps and bruises. She said: ‘Josh does not even like football.’ Last night Moyes, who lives near Preston, declined to comment over the incident. A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: ‘Officers attended the bar at about 10pm on Wednesday, May 21, and it was reported that a 23-year-old local man had been assaulted by a 51-year-old man. ‘Inquiries are ongoing and we are speaking to a number of people to try to establish the circumstances. No one has been arrested at this stage.’ Sacking: Mr Moyes was hand picked by Sir Alex Ferguson to succeed him as boss but lost his job at Old Trafford after nine months .

At one point he became trapped outside a hairdressers called 'Supercuts', leading opponents to chant: 'Vote No for Supercuts, vote No for permanent austerity'. Scroll down for exclusive video . Labour leader Ed Miliband was bundled out of an Edinburgh shopping centre after a planned walkabout became overrun by Yes protesters . A planned appearance on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh was abandoned in favour of the shopping centre visits, which quickly descended into chaos . Journalists and film crews jostled with protesters, who yelled 'fing liar' and 'traitor' at Mr Miliband . Shadow Scottish Secretary Margaret Curran tried to force the throng back as placard-wielding Yes and No protesters forced their way through the mall . Aides later said Labour campaigners were left 'visibly shaken' by the incident, after Mr Miliband was led away to safety . Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale revealed the mood in the campaign room after the ugly scenes in the mall . Mr Miliband had been due to appear at St James Shopping Centre in Edinburgh at 3.15pm, but arrived almost 45 minutes late. With Yes protesters outside chanting 'we don't need your fing union' and 'how many spare bedrooms has the Queen got?', Labour aides decided to stage the event inside the shopping centre. But he was unable to address the crowd and only managed to speak to members of the public caught in the furore. As Mr Miliband battled his way through the crowd, Yes protesters called out: 'This is what a political class looks like when it's dying.' The visit to Scotland's capital was supposed to be the main event in Mr Miliband's diary. But the extraordinary spectacle of the Labour leader being rushed into a car park lift came amid growing concern about threats of intimidation aimed at those opposed to independence. First Minister Alex Salmond admitted 'there are always idiots in a campaign' but insisted that '99 per cent of people participating in this campaign are behaving impeccably'. However, Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale wrote on Twitter after Mr Miliband's Edinburgh visit: 'Campaign room full of visibly shaken and upset folk who were in St James Centre - truly crappy day for democracy.' As a large crowd pushed him towards the shopping centre exit, Mr Miliband told journalists: ‘I think we have seen in parts of this campaign an ugly side to it from the Yes campaign. 'I think debate should be conducted in a civilised way, I think that’s very, very important, but I understand that passions run high.' The extraordinary scenes come amid growing claims of intimidation against people opposed to independence . Mr Miliband hit out at the 'ugly scenes' which have been orchestrated by the Yes campaign in recent days . Mr Miliband said he wanted the referendum campaign to be conducted in a 'civilised' way, but could barely be heard above the chanting around him . Ed Miliband became trapped outside a hairdressers called Supercuts . By Matt Chorley, in Edinburgh . It is difficult to know what Labour aides hoped to get out of Ed Miliband's walkabout in St James Shopping Centre. But surely it wasn't this. The Labour leader had been expected on the Royal Mile, but later changed plans to go to the shopping centre for 3.15pm. Outside a small group of Yes protesters chanted and laughed, mocking Mr Miliband before he'd even arrived. Almost half an hour later, aides emerged to tell waiting reporters that Mr Miliband would instead be appearing inside the mall. Camera crews scrambled, reporters began running, dodging between bewildered shoppers. But Mr Miliband's walkabout had ground to a halt. Surrounded by a pack, with Yes chants winning on volume alone, he grabbed anyone passing by who could not escape the melee. He had the grace to laugh when asked about intimidation, but this was a terrible spectacle, his plea for 'civilised' debate drawn out by heckles. The true low point was when he disappeared into the doorway of a hair salon called Supercuts, deep irony at a time when the SNP complains of Westminster cost-cutting. Mr Miliband went on: 'What I have enjoyed about this campaign, including today when I get the chance, is meeting people who are genuinely undecided.' He was also challenged over whether Gordon Brown is now the leader of the No campaign, after taking a more high profile role than both Mr Miliband and Better Together chief Alistair Darling. But Mr Miliband insisted:'He’s a very important part of this campaign, I think he has done a very good job. All of us are setting out that choice. 'I think all of us are doing our job in getting through to Labour voters. I think Gordon is playing his role, Johann Lamont is playing her role, Alistair Darling, all of us are setting out that big choice that we face.' A Labour campaigner, Clare Lally, said on Twitter: 'Upsetting scenes in Edinburgh at an event, I had to link arms with Monica Lennon to protect Johann Lamont and Margaret Curran #disgraceful.' Scottish nationalists are facing further accusations of bullying and intimidation as the independence debate turns increasingly bitter. ITV political editor Tom Bradby said covering the referendum campaign had been a 'rather unpleasant experience'. Writing a blog, he added: 'My first major job as a correspondent was in Ireland in the early nineties and, despite the fact that there was a bitter war going on all round me that took many lives, I experienced virtually no personal hostility at all from anyone. They didn’t lob accusations of bias around every time you asked a question either.' BBC Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark last night had to issue an on air apology after a live broadcast was interrupted by a heckler. Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander was also heckled during a No campaign rally in Glasgow, and most shockingly of all, Respect MP George Galloway claims he was ‘threatened with a bullet’ during the event. Ms Wark was presenting Newsnight from an outdoor studio in Dundee when her broadcast was interrupted by someone shouting and swearing. The interruptions took place throughout the programme, first when the journalist was interviewing actor Brian Cox and later when she was on air with a panel of industry experts. Ms Wark told viewers: ‘We apologise for the swearing, I’m afraid it’s beyond our control.’ Mr Cox, when asked about negative elements of the Yes campaign, told Ms Wark: ‘You get head-bangers, you’ve just had one behind you now.’ After escaping from the shopping centre, Mr Miliband crossed over a pedestrian bridge before disappearing into the lift of a multistorey car park . Mrs Curran tried to shield Mr Miliband from the crowd, as he became trapped between protesters and film crews . Aides rushed Mr Miliband into the lift of a car park and spirited him away, with photographers in pursuit .

Up to 1,000 independence supporters gathered outside the broadcaster’s headquarters in Glasgow on Sunday, with many also calling for BBC political editor Nick Robinson to be sacked - action that was praised by Alex Salmond as 'joyous'. Respect MP George Galloway said he was threatened with a 'bullet' at a No rally in Glasgow last night. Up to 1,000 Yes campaigners protested outside the BBC HQ in Glasgow on Sunday against allegations of biased coverage . Thousands of Yes campaigners gathered in George Square in Glasgow tonight for a rally in support of independence . Graffiti saying 'Vote Yes or Else?' was daubed on walls in Aberdeen, including on a house on the corner of Osborne Place and Prince Arthur Street . An Edinburgh Yes voter had 'coward' scratched into his front door in an act of vandalism. Former Defence Secretary John Reid accused the Yes side of using the ‘language of abuse’ towards women who speak up for union, and he alleged that Alex Salmond’s supporters had organised ‘street mobs’ to intimidate No campaigners. Mr Reid made the comments after Harry Potter author JK Rowling and lingerie boss Michelle Mone were subjected to abuse after expressing support for the No campaign. No campaign sources have claimed that a Better Together activist in Aberdeen was warned he would feel like a 'Christian missionary in Syria' after a Yes vote. A nationalist was also reported to have turned to his son in front of unionist activists in Glasgow and said: 'One day, remind me to tell you what Mussolini did to collaborators.' And an English activist in Glasgow was told to 'get out of my country', while a Spanish woman, who had lived in Scotland for 20 years, was spat on while leaving a No rally and told to go home." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Labour leader abandons walkabout after becoming overwhelmed by crowds .\nMiliband arrived 45minutes late for his No event and failed to address voters .\nSt James Shopping Centre thronged by chanting Yes and No protesters .\nCries of 'f*ing liar' and 'traitor and part of a 'dying' political class .\nAides 'visibly shaken' - Labour MSP condemns 'crappy day for democracy'\nComes amid growing row over threats of intimidation ahead of Thursday ." } ]

Gocksch, who survived the crash, was not speeding or under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident, and did not face any charges. Even though she had just graduated, Keegan was already well on her way to an illustrious literary career, having already scored a job with The New Yorker. She had studied English at Yale and graduated magna cum laude from the Ivy League institution. The week before her death she published an essay in her school paper urging members of her generation to 'make something happen to this world,' which went viral with more than 1.4 million hits according to The Independent. It was this work, and others, the publisher Simon & Schuster says 'captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation' that has made her into what they call an 'icon of her generation.' 'We don’t have a word for the opposite of loneliness, but if we did, I could say that’s what I want in life. What I’m grateful and thankful to have found at Yale, and what I’m scared of losing when we wake up tomorrow and leave this place.' 'We’re so young. We’re so young. We’re twenty-two years old. We have so much time. There’s this sentiment I sometimes sense, creeping in our collective conscious as we lay alone after a party, or pack up our books when we give in and go out – that it is somehow too late. That others are somehow ahead. More accomplished, more specialized. More on the path to somehow saving the world, somehow creating or inventing or improving. That it’s too late now to BEGIN a beginning and we must settle for continuance, for commencement.' 'We don’t have a word for the opposite of loneliness, but if we did, I’d say that’s how I feel at Yale. How I feel right now. Here. With all of you. In love, impressed, humbled, scared. And we don’t have to lose that.' 'We’re in this together, 2012. Let’s make something happen to this world.'

No Dynamo has not been up to his old tricks again, but rather a body artist who has been making her subjects 'disappear' into famous landmarks. Trina Merry, 34, spends up to eight hours painstakingly painting the bodies of models so that they are almost invisible to the eye by blending them into the backgrounds of familiar UK landmarks. Scroll down for video . Lost in London: Body artist Trina Merry paints models' bodies so that they blend seamlessly into famous landmarks . From traditional British sights like Stonehenge and Westminster Abbey to 21st century vistas such as the London Eye and the capital s modern metallic skyline. Originally from the USA Trina started her body paintings in New York last year, painting female subjects so that they blended in with the city's landmarks. Patient painting: It can take Trina up to eight hours painting the bodies of her subjects . Work in progress: Trina often gets stopped by passersby asking lots of questions about her work . Big Ben and his little friend: Once completed the models must stand perfectly still in order to line up and blend in with their landmark . In NYC Trina had the law on her side as the city allows people to strip off in public for the purpose of artistic expression. However, she had to do some serious negotiating with London police in order to complete her work. The authorities were not the only obstacle that Trina faced as her work attracted fascinated crowds of bystanders and hundreds of confused tourists who were all keen to ask questions. For Trina the process creates a new way of viewing people in the cities they live in. This job has legs: Trina says the body paintings give a more reflective view of a person in their surroundings . Overseas art: Trina started her body artistry back home in the USA but has since branched out to the UK, here a man is almost invisible against the Southbank's Globe theatre . Is there wheely someone there? A man is almost unrecognisable against the London Eye . 'They're softly in the background, and you've got more of a reflective view of the person within the landscape.' The process of creating each work requires great patience. It is a carefully-planned ritual, which involves waiting until there is no chance of rain which could wash off the meticulously detailed designs. 'It feels great to be painted,' said Jessica Mellow one of Trina's New York models at the time of being painted. 'You feel the transformation process. The brush itself, it's really soft. It feels more like a massage.' Now you see him: A model bodypainted into the background of the stunning Colonnades of Bath . Soggy canvas: Trina has to contend with many obstacles including the weather . Barely there: This subject seems at one with Stonehenge in Wiltshire . Where'd you go?

The incredibly rare quintuplets have shocked the world of agriculture after being born to a hardy ewe at a farm in Shropshire. Ms Thompson, 55, has had the mother sheep, called Mrs Holmes, for three years and every lambing season so far she has given birth to twin lambs. Little miracles: Shropshire farmer Dinah Thompson, 55, was amazed when her prize ewe 'Mrs Holmes' delivered a quintuplet of tiny lambs this week . Shock: Ms Thompson was expecting her prized ewe to produce triplets so was stunned when five babies arrived . This year, a scan had shown that the Kerry Texel ewe was due to have triplets so after three new-borns arrived Dinah left Mrs Holmes to it and went off for a cup of coffee. Dinah said: 'I checked on the mum at 10.15pm and saw she was having two small lambs. 'I knew she was having triplets so I waited for number three to arrive and when it did I went off for a cup of coffee. 'There was a bit of a noise in the shed and when I returned 20 minutes later there were five little lambs who were all alive and healthy and they are absolutely adorable.' The lambs all weigh just over three pounds each but Dinah is having to bottle feed three of them with formula milk every four hours as Mrs Holmes only has two teats. Dinah, who has worked on the family-run Coombe Farm near Ludlow, Shropshire, all her life, said: 'They're all doing very well. 'We have her mum in one pen and the lambs are in a little pen next to her, so they can keep in contact. 'I have never seen anything like it before. I've had times when four lambs have been born but never five, it is incredibly rare. 'The fact they are all alive and pretty even sized is amazing. 'We haven't quite got round to naming them yet but were thinking of taking some of the names from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.' Stats amazing: There is just a one-in-a-million chance of a ewe producing quintuplets . Dinah is expecting 178 ewes on her farm to give birth to about 340 lambs, most of which will end up as roast dinners in the future. Oliver Cartwright, a spokesman for the National Farmers Union, said: 'Quintuplets are very rare and I bet it came as a real surprise especially as it was not picked up on the scans ahead of lambing. 'We hear of a lot about twins and triplets that are born on farms, but surviving quintuplets are something very special and unusual. 'This sort of thing may be a once in a generation experience. 'At the moment it's a busy time for sheep farmers. Helping to rear the quintuplets will help to ease the pressure on the mum.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Shropshire farmer Dinah Thompson, 55, left stunned my mammoth arrival ." } ]

Here, TOM RODDY helps shine a light on Algeria's colourful past and present ahead of their last-16 clash against Germany. Speaking of the Germans, this could prove to be a feisty clash. Read on to find out why... Star: Algeria striker Sofiane Feghouli will lead the line against Germany in the last 16 of the World Cup . 1 Algeria's first opponents at the 1982 World Cup in Spain were none other than European Champions West Germany, who boasted a squad with the likes of Paul Breitner, Lothar Matthaus, Hansi Muller and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The result was far from what was expected. Algeria played vibrant football, shocking the Germans with a 2-1 victory. 2 The 1982 finals began with joy but ended in controversial despair for Algeria. With West Germany and Austria’s match set to be played after the Algerians' final group game, the two sides knew a 1-0 win for the Germans would put both through, and the Algerians would be eliminated on goal difference. Unsurprisingly, that was exactly what happened. The match has become known in Germany as the 'non-aggression pact of Gijon' and rather less favourably in Algeria as the Anschluss. It led to a change in scheduling for the final group games, beginning at the 1986 finals in Mexico, FIFA ordered the final games of the group to be played simultaneously to avoid a repeat of the match in Gijon. Farce: Horst Hrubesch (left) heads West Germany into the lead against Austria in 1982 . 3 Algeria’s only goal in the 1986 finals in Mexico came from one Djamel Zidane, uncle of France legend Zinedine Zidane. Djamel featured in the impressive campaign in 1982 as well. Now assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, Zizou’s parents originated from Algeria but migrated to France in the 1950s. A supposed friendly fixture between the two countries in October 2001 ended in acrimony. Zidane received death threats prior to the game and was taunted throughout. The tie was eventually abandoned due to a pitch invasion by young French-Arabs. Glory: Djamel Zidane (right) celebrates victory over Germany with coach Mahiedieme Khalef and Mehdi Cerbah . 4 Algeria’s impressive performance in Brazil this summer contrasts dramatically to their dismal campaign in South Africa four years ago. In a group with England, USA and Slovenia, Algeria were soon on their way home with one solitary point from a bore-draw with England, and without scoring a single goal. In fact, Sofiane Feghouli’s penalty in the twenty-fourth minute against Belgium this month was Algeria’s first goal at a World Cup in twenty-eight years. Raising the bar: Algeria's bore draw with England was about as bad as international football can get . 5 One of the stars of the 1982 World Cup was Lakhdar Belloumi, scorer of the winning goal against West Germany. Belloumi had received praise from Pele and was supposed to be on his way to Juventus in 1985, a team which included the great Michel Platini. The move ended up falling apart when the striker broke his leg in the African Champions’ Cup. Heroes: Lakhdar Belloumi (front row, fifth left) and the Algeria team selected for the 1982 World Cup in Spain . 6 Along with nine other players, Rachid Mekhloufi left his successful career in France with Saint Etienne in 1958 to take part in the first squad of the Algerian National Liberation Front, which sought independence from the French. Technically, Mekhloufi and co were playing for a country which did not exist. But regardless of the chaos in Algeria, the team continued to play and in 1962 Algeria was officially declared independent from France with a national football programme created. Who said football was just a game? 7 It is believed that Sofiane Feghouli was a transfer target for Liverpool in 2013 and Manchester United in 2012. The forward is currently playing in La Liga with Valencia and assisted eight goals in the 2013/14 season. Prayer: Faouzi Ghoulam (right) runs to join his team-mates in celebration of Feghouli's goal against Belgium . 8 As a youngster, Islam Slimani would often go fishing using a plastic bottle tied to several pieces of string because he could not afford either a rod or net. Slimani, Algeria’s top goalscorer in Brazil this summer, netted against Russia on Thursday to knock out Fabio Capello’s side from the World Cup.

Liverpool lost 2-0 to Chelsea in their third-to-last game of the 2013/14 season, and Gerrard's error to gift Demba Ba's goal loosened their grip on the title. The Reds then let a three-goal lead slip at Crystal Palace, before a win against Newcastle on the last day of the season; by then though, the title had gone to Manchester City. Suarez, in his new autobiography released on Thursday, has revealed his thoughts on that title-changing moment at Anfield. Steven Gerrard's slip gifts Demba Ba the ball, which he duly accepted to score for Chelsea last April . It was the moment that took the momentum from Liverpool, and halted their charge for the Premier League . Liverpool went to Selhurst Park in their following match, and squandered a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Palace . 'If I had been in Stevie's shoes, I don't know if I would have been able to carry on playing. Emotionally, it must have been very, very hard. 'In the previous weeks, so much had been said about him, the expectation had built so much, the talk had been about him leading Liverpool, his club, to a first title in over 20 years, on the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which his cousin had died, and then that happens. 'The captain, the former youth-teamer, the one-club man, a Scouser born and bred, and he was the unlucky one to make a crucial mistake. 'I'm convinced that if Chelsea had not scored like that, they would not have scored at all. And once you are a goal down against them, it's virtually impossible.' Suarez enjoyed some incredible moments at Anfield, pictured (left) alongside strike partner Daniel Sturridge . Suarez is now plying his trade in La Liga for Barcelona; pictured vs Ajax in the Champions League this week . Suarez left Liverpool at the end of that season, moving to Barcelona for £75 million, and this Saturday his old side, Gerrard included, will host Chelsea for the first time since the incident at the back end of last season. Things are different this time, with an unbeaten Chelsea very much the team in control. Jose Mourinho's side have won eight and drawn two of their first 10 Premier League matches.

If they . did, and if each 'web visit' corresponded to a New Yorker who saw 8 . pages, the state's enrollment rate would be the lowest of all – 0.32 per cent. The low numbers of new enrollees stand in stark contrast to the robust website traffic statistics, suggesting that day-one anxieties about non-functioning online portals may have been overblown. Only 14 states have opted to run their own health insurance exchanges. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is handling signup duties for the other 36 states and the District of Columbia. 'Starting today,' President Obama said Tuesday during a White House Rose Garden event, 'you and your friends and your family and your coworkers can get covered, too. Just visit healthcare.gov, and there you can compare insurance plans, side by side, the same way you’d shop for a plane ticket on Kayak or a TV on Amazon.' But his administration isn't saying how many Americans signed up online so far. Access Health CT, the Connecticut state Obamacare insurance exchange, signed up just 167 members of the public on the first day of open enrollment, despite reports that the website was available and loading quickly . On Wednesday Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters said the main Obamacare website had served 4.7 million unique visitors, adding to 190,000 phone calls and 104,000 online chats sessions that administrators had supervised. 'Millions want to get covered,' according to the Obamacare system's main Twitter account on Wednesday afternoon. 'Americans across the country – millions of Americans – are taking advantage of the opportunity to shop for affordable health insurance that they could not attain before now,' White House Press Secretary Jay Carney insisted on Monday. But without enrollment figures, it's impossible to know whether Obamacare is seeing a flood of new customers or just a trickle. The White House did not respond to a request for those numbers. Shutdown mashup: White House Press Secretary Jay Carney briefed reporters on Wednesday, live-streamed on a website that the administration complained was partially inactive due to the government's slimmed down operations . Some states are seeing greater interest, with signup rates in single-digit percentages. Illinois reeived applications from 1.7 per cent of Web visitors. Rhode Island signed up 2.3 per cent. Kentucky reported receiving completed applications from 5.3 per cent. Staff at the Community Health Center in New Britain, Connecticut wore 'Get Obamacare' buttons during a launch event on Tuesday, but only 167 people statewide signed up that day . Vermont's participation rate is no more than 6 per cent, although that number may be deceiving.Emily Yahr, a public Information officer with Vermont Health Connect, told MailOnline that her state exchange's website had served 'about 20,300 unique visit[or]s,' resulting in 'just over 1,230 user accounts established.' But she couldn't say how many people submitted completed applications. Washington, D.C. government spokesperson Richard Sorian said Wednesday that 15,452 unique visitors had seen his agency's DC Health Link website, and that new accounts were created for 4,171 individuals and families, and 136 small businesses – a rate of nearly 28 per cent. He, too, offered no numbers showing how many of those users applied for health insurance after they created accounts. But Sorian did suggest that number was not as impressive. 'We don’t expect people to fully enroll this early,' he said. Glitch du jour: The Massachusetts health care exchange, home of 'RomneyCare,' suffered from technical problems Wednesday even though most state residents already have health insurance coverage . Minnesota's health insurance administration, MNSure, also said it had 'no enrollment numbers yet.' But spokeswoman Jenni Bowring-McDonough said the state's insurance exchange website was seeing an average of 50,000 hits on its website every hour since it launched – a 24-hour average of 1.2 million – from Minnesotans. Just 2,500 new accounts resulted. At an estimated 8 pages per visitor, that's an account-creation rate of less than 1.7 per cent. The number of actual applications would have been lower still. In a statement, the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange reported that 292 businesses had enrolled in its coverage plans but wouldn't say how many individual taxpayers are taking part. 'We don't have any of those numbers yet,' said spokeswoman Annie Holschuh. Media representatives for health insurance exchanges in Maryland, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho and Hawaii did not respond to requests for enrollment statistics. Massachusetts is running its own exchange but is expected to sign up few new enrollees since an existing program, created by former Governor Mitt Romney, already covers most state residents." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "California's program registered an estimated 0.58 per cent of website visitors in its first day .\nA Connecticut congressman boasted that his state took 167 applications for Obamacare services on day one, a rate of 0.59 per cent .\nObama administration won't say how many Americans signed up on the central website that covered insurance exchanges for 36 states .\nKentucky's 5.3 per cent application rate seems to be the nation's highest .\nOther states wouldn't provide statistics, or tracked only the creation of new online accounts, not numbers of completed applications ." } ]

Hazel Dyson, 27, used to weigh 22st 7lb and, at her heaviest at the age of 21, had given up hope of ever having a boyfriend. Men insulted her size 26 figure, calling her 'massive' and 'disgusting' - leaving the ceramic artist convinced that she would be single forever. Scroll down for video . Hazel dropped from a size 26 and 22st 7lb (left) to a trim size 10 and 10st (right) But six years later, the size 10 beauty is in demand and is inundated with attention from men who are desperate to date her. Hazel, from Huddersfield, said: 'I'd struggled with my weight since I was a child, and by the time I was in secondary school, I was 15st. 'Over the years, my weight just ballooned and at 21, I was a size 26 and 22st 7lbs. 'All of my friends were really slim and pretty, and I was always the fat one in the corner. 'My family tried to set me up on blind dates, but I was too ashamed of the way I looked. 'Obviously this meant that I never met anyone. So I'd make up stories about men so no-one would know I'd never had a boyfriend.' To mask her embarrassment, 5ft 6in Hazel gorged on pizza, chocolate fudge cake and Chinese takeaways. Men used to insult Hazel's size 26 figure, calling her 'massive' and 'disgusting' - to comfort herself, 5ft 6in Hazel gorged on pizza, chocolate fudge cake and Chinese takeaways . At 49.9, her BMI was more than double the recommended range of 18.5 to 25. Bitterly ashamed of her body, Hazel barely left the house and spent all day watching television or browsing Facebook. She had given up all hope of finding love until a visit to her GP in 2008 gave her the motivation she needed to change her life. Hazel said: 'He told me that if I didn't start to lose weight, I would need a hip replacement by the time I was 30. 'I was absolutely mortified. Up until then, I'd blamed my size on my polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but I knew then that I had to stop making excuses. 'I was constantly tired and out of breath, and now my bones were struggling to cope under my weight. 'Every time I clicked onto my Facebook, I'd see pictures of my friends getting married or having fun. 'They were all out living their lives and I wanted to too.' Hazel joined Slimming World and set herself a goal to lose weight and find love. She threw out all her junk food and filled her fridge with fruit and vegetables. Fed up with being single and told by doctors her weight was effecting her health Hazel began her drastic diet, dropping 12st 7lb in total (left, before, right, today) And as each birthday approached, she convinced herself that it would be the year she found a boyfriend. Hazel said: 'It was hard work and of course I had the odd slip-up along the way, but seeing all of my friends fall in love really kept me going. 'I didn't want to get to 30 without ever having experienced true romance. I think it's every girl's dream to find that special someone to share your life with. 'I dreaded the first Slimming World meeting and was devastated when I found out how much I actually weighed. 'But I knew that if I didn't face my fears, I'd be stuck at that size forever - and I didn't want that any more. I wanted my happily-ever-after.' After six years of diet and exercise, Hazel lost an incredible 12st 7lbs - just in time for her 26th birthday. It took Hazel six years to reach her goal weight . Hazel joined the dating website Plenty of Fish and was bombarded with complimentary messages from men. Hazel said: 'I was so worried that men would send me horrible messages about my looks, as they had been so awful to me in the past. But they were really kind and told me that I had a lovely smile. 'Every time I signed into my account, I had a new message from someone asking me out on a date. I couldn't believe it. For the first time in my life, men thought I looked good enough to have on their arm.' A few months later, Hazel met her first boyfriend. She said: 'He was so lovely, and made me feel really special. 'It was a bit embarrassing telling him that I'd never had a boyfriend before, but he was very understanding. 'It's always nerve-wracking getting to know someone new, but it's even worse when you're doing it all for the first time at 26.' Sadly the couple split after nine months, but Hazel doesn't regret the experience and is holding out for her Mr Right. Now instead of hiding away, she is going on dates and gets chatted up on nights out too. Hazel said: 'Before I would swamp my body in baggy t-shirts and jumpers, but I'm not ashamed of myself anymore and I don't want to hide away. 'It's taken me six years to get where I am, and I finally have the confidence to chase life - and love - like I've always wanted to.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hazel's food addiction saw her binging on pizza, Chinese and cakes .\nHad a BMI of 49.9 and was told she would need a hip replacement by 30 .\nHazel had never had a boyfriend and was a virgin .\nBegan drastic diet, eliminating her large portions of junk food .\nDropped from a size 26 and 22st 7lb to a trim size 10 and 10st .\nNow has men flocking over her and has experienced love ." } ]
