"value": "Archaeologists with the Army Corps of Engineers are searching for what may be the sole photograph of Civil War-era ironclad CSS Georgia as they salvage its remains from the Savannah River. So far, the only person able to verify details about the photo is the man who found it at a yard sale in Georgia in the 1980s - John Potter. Potter said he was looking through a collection of antiques at a home in Waycross when he stumbled upon a picture frame that caught his eye. Scroll down for video . Recovery: The Army Corps of Engineers hope to locate the photograph that purports to be of the CSS Georgia, seen in this picture taken by John Potter of the original . In the frame was a photograph with a silhouetted individual in a coat and hat positioned in the foreground of the hulking frame of a boxy object. Potter described the photo itself as blurred and stained by damage from water or chemicals, but said an inscription on the back of the frame that read 'CSS Georgia' may accurately identify its subject. 'I knew exactly what it was,' said Potter, who now lives in North Carolina. 'I thought, \"This belongs in a museum.\"' Potter did not have the $175 that the seller wanted for the photo, though he snapped a picture of it, a copy of which was later sent to the Georgia Historical Society. 'The photo is just as much a mystery as the CSS Georgia, because nobody has seen it in years,' said archaeologist Julie Morgan of the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps is currently working on a $14million project to recover the wreckage of the ironclad from the bottom of the Savannah River. YouTube.com . Illustrated history: No blueprints or photographs have yet been verified, meaning the only visual record of the CSS Georgia is made up of illustrations, whose details vary between images . Undertaking: The Army Corps of Engineers, with a group of archaeologists and divers, is working to salvage the wreck of the CSS Georgia from the bottom of the Savannah River . With no photographs or blueprints to confirm the boat's original structure, researchers have only a handful of illustrations to go on. The armored warship CSS Georgia was part of an ironclad-building craze during the Civil War though it did nothing to aid the Confederacy's war efforts. The Ladies Gunboat Association of Savannah raised $115,000 in funds to build the CSS Georgia as a way to protect the city. The ship's engines were too weak to fight the Savannah River's currents, and the 1,200-ton ship was left floating off Fort Jackson as a gun battery. It finished the war without ever firing a shot, scuttled by its Confederate crew in December 1864 as General William Tecumseh Sherman captured the city of Savannah. The former curator of the National Civil War Naval Museum, Robert Holcolmbe, says the copy of the photograph made by Potter all but confirmed the original was of the CSS Georgia. Holcombe said the shape in the photo conforms to the unique 45-degree angles of the CSS Georgia's armor casement that covers its deck. 'If it's an original, it's certainly the Georgia, just by process of elimination,' Holcombe explained. That or 'it's an awfully good fake.'"

These images were captured by a camera on Curiosity, and reveal the bizarre finger-like structure protruding from the Martian surface and casting a shadow on to the rock below. Science buffs have suggested the small, shiny-looking object, which makes for an incongruous sight amid the rocks, could be composed of material less susceptible to erosion than its surroundings. Robotic finger? An image captured by Nasa's Curiosity rover shows the strange metallic object protruding from the surface of the rock . Incongruous: The unidentified object is seen nestled on the rocky surface . A report on Universe Today said the structure was likely to measure just 0.5cm or less. It was spotted in the picture beamed back from Mars, which was taken on January 30. Pictures of the mysterious object emerged after Curiosity drilled its first hole in the surface of Mars, to generate dust it can analyse to detect any traces of life which may once have existed on the planet. Pictures beamed back from the Martian surface showed a small hole surrounded by a pile of pulverised rock dust, which Nasa hopes to use in sample-collection tests. In a statement the space agency said Curiosity used both percussion and rotation to bore about 0.8in into the Mars rock as a test in advance of a later full drilling to collect samples. Searching: Curiosity rover has discovered what looks like a door handle on Mars . Pulverised: Nasa's Curiosity rover drilled this 0.8in deep hole on the surface of Mars as a test in advance of more drilling to collect samples for analysis to see if it could ever have harboured life . Completion of this 'mini drill' test was confirmed in data from Mars received late Wednesday at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Mission scientists will now assess the drill cuttings around the fresh half-inch diameter hole to determine whether they are suitable for processing by the rover's on-board lab. If they pass muster, the rover team plans to proceed with commanding the first full drilling in the coming days, Nasa said. The test was performed on a patch of flat, vein-bearing rock called 'John Klein', which observations suggested had once been weathered by water erosion. 'Pre-drilling observations of this rock yielded indications of one or more episodes of wet environmental conditions,' Nasa said. 'The team plans to use Curiosity's laboratory instruments to analyse sample powder from inside the rock to learn more about the site's environmental history.' Drilling for life: Completion of the 'mini drill' test was confirmed in data from Mars received late Wednesday at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California . The drill is just one of 10 scientific instruments on-board Curiosity which Nasa scientists hope to use to analyse the surface of Mars more closely than they have ever been able to before. The one-ton rover has been studying the area around the Gale Crater on Mars to see whether it could have ever been habitable by microbial life. The drilling comes after scientists last month said they believe the discovery of minerals below the Red Planet's surface is the 'strongest evidence yet' it may have supported life. A new study led by the Natural History Museum, with the University of Aberdeen, found that all the ingredients for life were present just below the planet's surface for much of its history. When meteorites strike the surface of Mars, they act like natural probes, bringing up rocks from far beneath the crust. It's continuing mission.... The one-ton Curiosity rover has been studying the area around the Gale Crater on Mars to see whether it could have ever been habitable by microbial life. Looking at data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and ESA's Mars Express spacecrafts, they analysed rocks and found they contain clays and minerals whose chemical make-up has been altered by water. With up to half of life on Earth consisting of simple microorganisms that live in below the surface, scientists have suggested that the same may have been true for Mars. Dr Joseph Michalski, lead author and planetary geologist at the Natural History Museum said: 'All the ingredients were there for life, but only small single-cell organisms could have survived in those conditions. 'But I would now be more surprised if there was never any life on Mars, than I would be if we did one day discover that simple life lived in that environment. 'And if life existed then, there is a chance it could still exist now.'"

Hodgson's men were largely uninspiring in Wednesday's 1-0 international win over Norway, when just 40,181 people turned up to watch at Wembley. And QPR defender Ferdinand, who captained England seven times during a 14-year international career which saw him amass 81 caps, believes the responsibility lies with the manager to get them playing at their best. Right formula: Roy Hodgson needs to find a system that suits his players, says Rio Ferdinand . Wasted: Former England captain says previous managers did not get the best out of the 'golden generation' Asked why the country's best players have struggled to reproduce their club form on international duty, Ferdinand looked at the recent past. Managers such as Sven-Goran Eriksson, Fabio Capello and Steve McClaren were unable to inspire the so-called 'golden generation' to major success on the international stage. Established internationals such as John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ferdinand have now all retired from the international game. The 35-year-old told Football Focus on BBC1: 'Look at the 'golden generation'. Why didn't they succeed? Partly it was down to us - but maybe we weren't set up the right way. 'I wouldn't want to play against that England squad. I'm excited about the frontline - young, hungry talents who should flourish within a system.' If the cap fits: Ferdinand has backed Hodgson call to name Wayne Rooney as captain . Spot on: Rooney scored the winner in lacklustre friendly against Norway with a penalty . Ferdinand believes Hodgson has done the right thing giving Wayne Rooney the captain's armband. The Manchester United skipper netted the only goal from the penalty spot in midweek and Ferdinand continued: 'We can romanticise about how it was done before but within that squad I think he's the right man. 'He wants to leave his mark on the game and he's got an opportunity to do that.'"

"value": "If Manchester United’s new-look frontline is going to start firing fours and fives, there’s a still a danger the boys at the back could concede one more. While we have been salivating over the prospect of Radamel Falcao and Angel di Maria joining forces with Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney, reinforcement at the other end of the park was somewhat neglected. Yes, Marcos Rojo arrived from Sporting Lisbon, but a 24-year-old debuting in the Premier League hardly fills the void left by the exits of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. VIDEO Scroll down to watch five reasons Louis van Gaal signed Radamel Falcao . Plenty to ponder: Louis van Gaal (centre right) has a wealth of talent going forward but is vulnerable at the back . And then there is Louis van Gaal’s preferred choice of formation: 3-5-2. Rather than mask the shortcomings of those in defence, the system has, thus far at least, left them exposed and seemingly confused. It does not matter how an opponent attacks them – be it land or air, centrally or wide – panic ensues at every advancement. Two were conceded at home to Swansea and four at League One MK Dons in the League Cup, the latter seeing Jonny Evans terrorised by lower-league frontmen. Even at Sunderland – a 1-1 draw – United’s backline was shambolic and was spared only thanks to some errant finishing. Tough start: Manchester United are yet to win this season and are out of the League Cup . Phil Jones is on trial for club and country at present – he’ll line up for England in Switzerland on Monday night – while the international credentials of the injured Chris Smalling will also be under scrutiny on his return. Luke Shaw remains absent through injury and Tyler Blackett has less professional appearances (16) than his age (20). There has even been talk of Michael Carrick – another confined to the treatment room – reverting from midfield to centre-back in a bid to aid their cause. Attacking talent: Manchester United signed Radamel Falcao and Angel di Maria in the transfer window . Settled it is not and Van Gaal and his backroom team will need to put in some serious hours on the training pitches of Carrington over the coming months. Here, Sportsmail takes a closer at look at who they’ll be working with… . Phil Jones . Sir Alex Ferguson once said Jones could become one of the club’s greatest-ever players. In his defence he’s still only 22 and has ample time to prove Ferguson right, but on recent evidence his former manager’s words appear folly. He is error prone and lacks the defensive cunning of a Ferdinand or Vidic. (Defensive) Rating: 6.5/10 . Error prone: Phil Jones is struggling to live up to the hype of his early career . Marcos Rojo . He was labelled Argentina’s weak link prior to the World Cup but played his part in the team which finished second to Germany and emerged with his reputation enhanced. But at £16m and given the defensive woes at Old Trafford, there is already pressure on him to right their rearguard wrongs – and that is perhaps too much expectation given his lack of experience. Rating: 7/10 . Unknown quantity: Marcos Rojo has not played for Manchester United yet following his move . Jonny Evans . He’ll be in no hurry to return to Stadium MK. But League One looked about his level during the Capital One Cup humbling and that would have done little for his confidence. He is, of course, far better than that showing but questions remain over his credentials as a United starter. Rating: 6.5/10 . Poor display: Jonny Evans had a nightmare evening against MK Dons in the League Cup . Chris Smalling . Smalling and Jones were supposed to be the future of United and England. Both, however, are fighting to restore damaged reputations. Smalling is yet to mature into the leader many hoped he would and, at 24, this is a big season for the former non-league defender. Rating: 6.5/10 . The future? Chris Smalling has yet to mature into the leader that many expected him to become . Luke Shaw . There has already been much debate over his fitness and physique and, before he’s even kicked a Premier League ball for the club, the 19-year-old finds himself under the spotlight. If Van Gaal is to persist with 3-5-2 then Shaw – an orthodox left-back – will have to learn how to adapt his game to a wing-back posting. Rating: 7.5/10 . Teenage kicks: Luke Shaw became the most expensive teenager in England when he joined for £30m . Tyler Blackett . The 20-year-old has started the season in the side but isn’t expected to stay there. At Sunderland, in particular, he was torn between his centre-back duty and filling the hole at left-back exposed by Ashley Young’s reluctance to defend. This backline is hardly the preferred environment to blood a promising youngster. Rating: 6/10 . Young hope: Tyler Blackett has made a number of appearances this season but could soon be replaced . Rafael . Injury means he is yet to feature this season but a wing-back role would surely be to his liking and there is little competition at right-back should Van Gaal switch to a traditional four. Rating: 7/10 . On the sidelines: Rafael has missed the start of the season due to injury . Michael Carrick . He has previously impressed at centre-back but that was in a team on the front foot. It will be a different scenario entirely were the midfielder to find himself under siege. Rating: 6/10 . Moving back: Michael Carrick is a midfielder but has impressed at centre back in the past . Daley Blind . He’s been brought to the club as a midfielder but he nonetheless appeared in defence for Holland under Van Gaal and could well find himself back there were their problems to persist. Rating: 7/10 . New boy: Untied signed Dutch utility man Daley Blind from Ajax at the end of the transfer window . VIDEO Saha salutes 'unbelievable' United attack ."

The picture is among several recovered by Kurdish soldiers from the mobile phones of dead fanatics in the Syrian town of Kobane. It shows the child being pinned to the floor, in clear distress as a knife is held to her throat. It is feared she may have been beheaded along with her family for being an Alevi Muslim, a branch of Islam whose followers have been targeted by IS. Horror: The harrowing image of the 'beheaded' baby girl was found on the phone of a dead Islamic State militant. Others images showed beheadings and jihadis playing football with the severed heads of victims . Other pictures show beheadings and jihadis playing football with the severed heads of victims. They were found by Kurdish YPG fighters defending the besieged town, where more than 1,100 are thought to have been killed since last month. The photo of the girl is believed to have been taken a week last Friday. There were no shots of her decapitation and her body has not been found, leading some to hope she had a miraculous escape. The many fighters who have circulated the picture on Facebook have nicknamed her ‘Melek’, meaning angel. Blast: The picture is among several recovered by Kurdish soldiers from the mobile phones of dead fanatics in the Syrian town of Kobane, pictured this afternoon during an American airstrike . One source, Ali, who obtained the picture from YPG soldiers, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The people of Kobane are desperate for the world to see with their own eyes the atrocities inflicted by these filth. Each time I look at this picture it makes me weep. ‘You can see how frightened she is. I can almost hear her scream.What kind of depraved monsters are they? What pleasure can killing this child bring anyone?’ Soldiers said Melek, a woman and an older child – thought to be her mother and sister – were witnessed being dragged out of hiding by IS around the time of an air strike. ‘Some have a flicker of hope in their hearts that they might have escaped,’ added Ali."

Radical group, Isis, has had a prolific social media output, but leaders are concerned that fighters have been inadvertently leaking data through their online activities. Pictures of jihadis brandishing severed heads and taunting their enemies have provided a wealth of valuable information to Western intelligence agencies such as the US NSA or Britain's GCHQ. Metadata is information generated as you use technology, which could include the date and time you last tweeted as well as where you sent it from. Scroll down for video . Isis terrorists have led a prolific social media campaign, releasing several videos which purport to show beheadings. Alan Henning is shown being paraded in front of camera (above) British muslims have been recuited using propaganda videos, such as this one featuring Abu Muthanna al-Yemeni, who grew up in Cardiff . Now Isis is taking steps to deal with the leaks and it has handed out an Arabic language manual among Isis fighters which gives detailed instructions on how to remove this data. 'A number of security gaps have appeared that have benefited the enemy and have helped expose the identities of some brothers or identify some sites used by the mujahideen with ease,' it says. The document then goes on to explain what those gaps are and the way they expose 'data that could turn your hair gray', according to the Financial Times. 'We know this issue is not only tied to pictures, but to PDF files, word files and video files,' it adds. Jihadi fighters have been told to remove metadata from their tweets and stop revealing names, locations and identifiable photographs . Arabic language manual handed out among Isis fighters gives detailed instructions on how to remove metadata . The Isis 'media restraint' campaign also stresses the importance of avoiding identifiable pictures of individuals. One Isis account tweeted in support of the measures, referring to the group's victories in Iraq's Anbar province in the face of US air strikes in recent days: 'Your abstention from posting details and your brothers' movements during [the] Hit camp blessed battle two days ago was the reason God granted you victory.' Darien Kindlund, director of threat research at FireEye, a US cyber security company said metadata – latent information in digital files – can be extremely valuable to intelligence agencies. He said: '[It] can contain information about the identity of the author, when the content was created/modified, and potentially reveal location information around where the content was authored.' Metadata is information generated as you use technology, and its use has been the subject of controversy since the NSA's secret surveillance program was revealed. Examples include the date and time you called somebody or the location from which you last accessed your email. The data collected generally does not contain personal or content-specific details, but rather transactional information about the user, the device and activities taking place. In some cases you can limit the information that is collected – by turning off location services on your cell phone for instance – but many times you cannot. A still from the newly-released video of British Hostage John Cantlie. The photojournalist has been a captive of ISIS for two years . In Raqqa, Isis's nominal 'capital' in Syria, the group has also grown increasingly paranoid about the use of WiFi and WiFi 'boosters' used to extend internet coverage in the city. Patrick Skinner, a former CIA official and now counter terrorism expert at the Soufan Group, said: 'You don't see any of Isis's most important figures on Twitter and you see even less now of the more minor ones too . . . the people who make big speeches are the ones that end up dead.' Islamic State terrorists recently released another propaganda video featuring British hostage John Cantlie, who warns of an impending third war in the Gulf. In a video clip posted online, the abducted photojournalist, who describes himself as the 'British citizen abandoned by my government', accuses the western media of being complicit with America and its allies in trying to drum up support for a ground war against ISIS. A former director of public prosecutions said any attempt to charge British jihadists with treason would be seen as a badge of honour by them. Lord Macdonald of River Glaven, QC, said they should be treated as straightforward criminals, rather than using the archaic legislation. He said: 'The worst thing you could do is attach some spurious glamour to them by attaching a title like traitor or a crime like treason. 'They ought to be treated like straightforward criminals. We have plenty of laws to deal with what they are doing. 'Britons who join Islamic State want to be treated as ideological and political foes of its allies rather than ordinary criminals. We shouldn't treat them as something different. We should treat them as criminals.' Mr Macdonald made the comments after Philip Hammond, the foreign secretary, raised the possibility of the Treason Act being used against British jihadists. It was last used to prosecute the Nazi propagandist William Joyce."

Now contractor Arron Large could treble his money to £60,000 after discovering three more expensive watches. The 28-year-old spotted the first timepiece while jet-washing a roadside drain a week ago. Finders keepers? Street cleaner Arron Large found a £21,000 Rolex in a drain but the owner has now stepped forward to claim it . Striking gold: Mr Large was cleaning a drain near Chalkwell train station in Essex when he saw a glimmer amongst the dirt. Three of the four watches he found turned out to be fakes . Rather than quietly pocketing it, he handed it in to police who told him he could keep it if no one claimed it within 30 days. The day after speaking to the Daily Mail about his good fortune, he found an identical watch in a drain 100 yards away. Hours later, another two watches . turned up in the same place where he made his first lucrative discovery. Experts say the four watches would cost £60,000 to replace. Mr Large, from Rayleigh, Essex, said: ‘I told my colleague, “You’re not going to believe me but I’ve found another one”. ‘He said “Shut up” but when I took it . out and wiped it off, I realised it was another Rolex. Then I found the . other two. It’s quite amazing. 'To be honest, it’s baffled everybody. Perhaps they were stolen and hidden there. Or maybe someone had a guilty . conscience and dumped them there.’ Britain's most honest man? Arron Large (left) handed in this £21,000 Rolex he discovered in the drain . Lady luck: Mr Large was rewarded for his 'honest and integrity' by the owner of the Rolex who did not want to be identified . Mr Large, a father of two who lives . with his partner Rachel Cozins, 25, added: ‘I’ve handed them in to the . police and they are going to go through the records to see if they can . find out who they belong to or if they are stolen.’ The first watch, which was in a drain . near Chalkwell railway station in Essex, is an 18-carat gold Oyster . Perpetual Cosmograph from Rolex’s Daytona collection, worth £21,000. The . second Rolex was found in a drain around the corner on Wednesday . morning. All in a day's work: Mr Large said he would not give up his job if he had ended up getting a payout because he enjoys it . Unusual finds: It's not the first time the pair have found strange things in their line of work . Mr Large, who works for waste . management firm Cory Environmental, later returned to the first drain . with a film crew and found two more watches – a Franck Muller and a . limited-edition Omega Seamaster with the words ‘40 years of James Bond’ engraved on the back. Essex Police have established the first Rolex was made in Singapore and bought in Hong Kong. It has not been reported stolen. A spokesman said: ‘We are keeping all . lines of inquiry open, and these include the possibility that these . watches may have been hidden by a criminal looking to dispose of . stolen goods.’"

"value": "The earliest copy of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, Mona Lisa, has been found in the vaults of a Spanish museum, looking younger and more ravishing than the original. Art historians have hailed the discovery, made during conservation work at the Prado Museum, as one of the most remarkable in recent times. Museum officials said it was almost certainly painted by one of Leonardo da Vinci's apprentices alongside the master himself as he did the original. Replica: Painted alongside the original (left), historians say the copy (right) gives another insight into what the model for one of the world's most famous paintings actually looked like . Rare discovery: Employees of Madrid's Prado Museum stand next to the authenticated contemporary copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa . It is not the Mona Lisa, but you might think of her as Mona Lisa's sister, who - after more than five centuries - is finally having her debutante party. Painted alongside the original, historians say it gives another insight into what the model for one of the world's most famous paintings actually looked like. The copy has been part of the Prado collection for years but officials said they did not realise its significance until a recent restoration revealed hidden layers. The artwork features the same female figure, but had been covered over with black paint and varnish. Two years ago, to get the copy ready for a da Vinci exhibition to be held in Paris this year, tests were done and restorers discovered something hidden under the black coat. When the black covering was removed, a Tuscan landscape very similar to the one in the original emerged. Unveiled: The copy has been part of the Prado collection for years but officials said they did not realise its significance until a recent restoration revealed hidden layers . The Prado painting was long thought to be one of dozens surviving replicas of the masterpiece made after Leonardo's death but it is now believed to have been painted by one of his key pupils, Francesco Melzi, working alongside the master. Prado's technical specialist, Ana González Mozo, said: 'It is quite possible that Leonardo's assistant met Lisa and may even have been present when she sat for the master. 'She may also have come to the studio when finishing touches were being applied to the face in the painting.' Different perspective: The copy gives art lovers and experts a chance 'to admire the Mona Lisa with totally different eyes' Ms Mozo said the underdrawing of the Madrid replica was similar to that of the original, which suggests both were begun at the same time and painted next to each other, as the work evolved. The Louvre original, displayed behind glass, is obscured by cracked darkened varnish, making the woman appear middle aged. Because of its fragility, cleaning and restoration is thought to be too risky. But art historians believe the Prado's Mona Lisa which is in the process of being painstakingly stripped of a dark over-paint reveals her as she would have looked at the time- as a radiant young woman in her early 20s. Miguel Falomir, the Prado's director for Italian painting, said the copy gives art lovers and experts a chance 'to admire the Mona Lisa with totally different eyes.' Besides the black background, one other difference from the original is the woman in the copy has eyebrows and the Mona Lisa in the real masterpiece does not. There are dozens of the surviving replicas of the masterpiece from the 16th and 17th centuries. The sitter is generally believed to represent Lisa Gherardini, the wife of the Florentine cloth merchant Francesco del Giocondo and is thought to have been painted between 1503 and 1506. After five hundred years, the two versions will be reunited again later this year. The Prado plans to put it on display later this month before it travels to the Louvre for the da Vinci show, giving specialists and visitors the first chance to compare the two works."

"value": "Over-anxious parents make their children ‘work’ for more than 54 hours a week by pushing them into too many activities, researchers warn. The figure, which is seven hours more than the average adult spends in the office, has been attributed to ambitious 'tiger parents' who fill their offspring's diaries with extracurricular activities and extensive educational play. Most children spend 32.5 hours a week at school from Monday to Friday, as well as seven hours and 28 minutes of homework each week. Exhausting: Extracurricular activities and 'learning through play' mean children 'work' 54 hours a week . But on top of this, the typical child is enrolled into at least two activities a week, such as swimming, football, dance classes or music lessons. This adds a further two hours and 26 minutes to an already gruelling timetable of events, the study by Haliborange Kid’s Vitamins found. In addition, most parents say they actively read with their children for at least 43 minutes a day - or five hours and one minute a week. And to make absolutely sure their child has the very best chance of getting ahead, the average parents also spends one hour a day, or seven hours a week, teaching their children through play. Dr Claire Halsey, parenting expert and clinical psychologist and spokeswoman for the Haliborange Kids Vitamins study of 2,000 parents said: 'This study indicates just how much parents want to do the best for their children. 'Parenthood is filled with decisions and responsibilities, and sometimes it can be hard to get it right all the time. Tutoring: Additional classes also help rack up the hours for children born to ambitious tiger parents . Controversial: Amy Chua (right) caused outrage with her tough 'traditional Chinese' parenting style . 'It might look like many mums and dads are over-timetabling their little ones, but behind this decision is the desire to support children to achieve their very best in life. 'All any parent wants is for their child to be happy and reach their full potential. While it’s great for kids to have hobbies and explore new activities, the best thing for their mental and physical development is to spend time playing and having fun, letting them shine naturally.' The study suggests that more parents than ever before are open to educating their children away from school with extra tuition. Indeed, one in three people polled admitted their child also attends at least one extra class a week studying either English, maths or science. As a result, a third of the nation’s children are actually working for over 55 hours a week. The poll reveals that four out of five parents feel it is right to try and educate their children as much as possible when they are not in the school environment. And it seems some parents are competitive too, with 41 per cent admitting they have always been concerned about their child’s development and worry whether they know as much as other children in their age group. At least half of parents asked have spent hours trying to teach their children how to recite their alphabet, numbers, days of the week, cities and months of the year. Catching a ball, swimming, learning how to dress and undress, understanding about healthy eating and being able to cook a little, and knowing about the solar system are among things parents think children should know by the time they go to school. However, 28 per cent of those polled admit they worry their child does too much, and 43 per cent have considered that their child should spend more time having fun. Concerned: The workload has left some parents worried that their child doesn't get to play enough . When Amy Chua's The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother was published in 2011, it became immediately notorious. Based on Chua's experiences of giving her two daughters a 'traditional' strict Chinese upbringing, it spoke of calling one 'garbage' for failing to adequately complete a task and included a controversial 'white elephant' anectdote. The offending passage read: 'I hauled Lulu’s dollhouse to the car and told her I’d donate it to the Salvation Army piece by piece if she didn’t have The Little White Donkey’ perfect by the next day. When Lulu said, \"I thought you were going to the Salvation Army, why are you still here?\" I threatened her with no lunch, no dinner, no Christmas or Hanukkah presents, no birthday parties for two, three, four years. When she still kept playing it wrong, I told her she was purposely working herself into a frenzy because she was secretly afraid she couldn’t do it. I told her to stop being lazy, cowardly, self-indulgent and pathetic.' Although many commentators were horrified, many more applauded Chua's efforts, while a Wall Street Journal poll found two thirds of parents were in favour of Chua's methods. What's more, 27 per cent of parents revealed that they have taken their child out of classes such as music, dance or languages, with 54 per cent of these claiming it was because their child looked exhausted from all the activities they were doing. A further 45 per cent were worried about the cost of the additional clubs their children were participating in, while a fifth said they weren’t spending enough time together as a family. The study also shows a quarter of parents are worried their children are not getting the adequate nutrition they need because they are so busy. On at least three nights a week families don’t sit down together to eat, so four in 10 parents support their child’s diet with vitamins to boost their health. Nutritionist Dr Frankie Phillips comments: 'It can be hard to fit in three nutritious meals a day when the children are being ferried between school, clubs and extra tutoring. 'But time to eat together as a family is very important. We know from research studies that families who eat together regularly tend to be better off nutritionally speaking; they eat a healthier diet. 'Children need good nutrition to grow and develop, and providing adequate nutrients, vitamins and minerals is an essential part of this, both immediately to get through the busy school day, and long-term for their future well-being. 'Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, as well as dehydration, can lead to fatigue and poor health; tiredness resulting from poor nutrition can compromise concentration and consequently performance in school. 'Children are leading increasingly hectic lives, but it’s important that their diets don’t suffer. Parents can boost low nutritional levels with great tasting vitamins. 'Omega-3 may help support concentration and the right amount of iron can combat fatigue whilst B vitamins are important to help release energy.'"

"value": "If you thought Fifty Shades and Harry Potter porn pushed the boundaries of good taste, then prepare to be shocked. Dinosaur erotica looks set to be the latest niche craze in the world of sexy fiction as a trio of books on the topic is released to buy for the Kindle. The naughty novels, with titles such as Running From The Raptor and Taken by the T-Rex focus on the fantasy of helpless young women being attacked and seduced by dinosaurs. I wanna T-Rex you up: The erotic titles are by two authors who also produce orc and dragon porn . Jezebel reports that the books, which are short stories of no more than 20 pages long, are the work of two authors, Christie Sims and Alara Branwen, who also write dragon, orc and weretiger erotica. The books, which are available to buy on Amazon, state in their seller description: ’Warning: This is a tale of beast sex. This story was written to unlock your darkest fantasies and innermost desires. It is not for the faint of heart and is not your mother's erotica.’ The book covers feature a scantily dressed young woman gazing lustfully out from some wild scene, with a dinosaur lurking sinisterly - or sexily, if that's your thing - in the background. In the Velociraptor's Nest centers around a cave woman called Azog . The dinosaur porn imagines a world where humans and dinosaurs existed together. For the tale of In the Velociraptor’s Nest the protagonist Azog is a cavewoman, under appreciated in her tribe. The synopsis says: ‘The cavemen treat her like a piece a meat. Azog cannot resist unless she proves herself as a hunter. ‘When she goes out in search of fresh meat, she discovers a clutch of baby velociraptors and decides to kill them and triumphantly bring them back to her tribe. ‘That is, until their father shows up and blocks Azog’s way out of the cave. Azog must use all of her womanly wiles to get out of the cave, which includes doing things she had never dreamed of.’ The dinosaur stories come in the wake of a flurry of unusual porn genres, which have flourished thanks to the Kindle. The success of EL James's Fifty Shades trilogy was put down largely to the fact that women could download the books to their e-reader, thus preventing them the embarrassment of buying the books and reading them in public. Sims and Branwen's books are books are available to download from Amazon to the Kindle. 'Azog stood, back to the wall, clad only in damp buckskins, waiting for the beast to slash at her torso until she lay helpless and bleeding on the damp cave floor. 'She wondered if it would kill her first, or if her limbs would be sliced from her body as the beast gorged on her. 'Instead, it reached out with a clawed hand to snatch at her damp animal hide as it clung to one shoulder. 'Azog felt the kiss of sharp claws against her skin as the hide slid from her shoulder and exposed on naked, heaving breast. 'The raptor paused, curious, sniffing at her as she pressed desperately against the wall. A reptilian tongue, stiff and hot, dashed out to lick at the tender, naked flesh so suddenly exposed. Azog gasped at the touch, then gradually relaxed as her body warmed to the intoxicating sensation of the beast's flesh against her own.' From The Velociraptor's Nest, available for e-readers on Amazon."

"value": "Statins should be given to all over-50s, regardless of their health history, because they dramatically cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes in later life, one of the UK's leading experts has said. Currently statins are given only to high-risk patients, around eight million people, who have high cholesterol or have a risk of heart disease. But there is 'clear evidence' that healthy people can also benefit based on their age alone, says Professor Sir Rory Collins. Statins are taken each day by eight million adults in the UK but there is 'clear evidence' that healthy people can also benefit, it is claimed (posed by model) He led the world's largest study to investigate statins in the prevention of cardiovascular disease which proved that cutting levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol in the blood saved lives. The risk of having a major vascular event such as a heart attack is cut by one-fifth for each 1.0mmol/L (millimoles per litre) fall in LDL, whether in high or low risk patients. But current guidelines on their use - and misguided safety fears about muscle pain and memory loss - are restricting the range of people who can take them, he said. 'At 50 you should be considering it and whether you should be taking them at an earlier age is an open question' he said. 'If you start treatment earlier and continue for longer the benefits will be much greater, you're not trying to unfur the arteries, you're preventing them from furring in the first place' he said. Prof Collins, who was giving a keynote lecture at the European Cardiology Congress in Munich, said evidence from 130,000 patients taking statins in trials show they are safe. Professor Sir Rory Collins says statins should be given to all over-50s, regardless of their health history . Yet drug safety watchdogs here and in the US have insisted on flagging up relatively minor side effects which are putting patients off the drugs, he said. These include memory loss, depression, sexual difficulties and depression, while recent research suggests cataracts and diabetes may be more common in patients taking statins. Trial data shows only one significant side effect, myopathy or muscle pain, which affects one in 10,000 patients, said Prof Collins. He said: 'We need to look properly at the safety of statins. The reality is that these drugs are remarkably safe, but the problem is that high risk patients are getting the message that these drugs have side effects.' Prof Collins, 57, went to his GP a fortnight ago to ask about taking statins despite a relatively low cholesterol level, and was dismayed to learn she could not get high risk patients to take them because of fears about side effects. Research earlier this year co-ordinated by the Clinical Trial Service Unit Oxford University, where Prof Collins is co-director, reviewed findings from 27 statin trials involving 175,000 people, some of whom were at low risk of heart problems. The drugs cut the risk of heart attacks, strokes and operations to unblock arteries by one third or more. The benefits were gained no matter what level of cholesterol patients started out with. Healthier people who were given statins also had lower overall death rates than those who were given a placebo. It concluded the positives greatly exceeded any side-effects from taking the drugs. More than eight million adults are already taking statins, but it is estimated that routine use by the over 50s would lead to 10,000 fewer heart attacks and strokes a year, including 2,000 fewer deaths in the UK. The small cost of the drugs - as low as £16 a year - would be outweighed by NHS savings due to the reduced number of heart attacks and strokes. At present, statins are restricted to those with at least a 20 per cent risk of having a heart attack or stroke over the next five years. But, said Prof Collins, trial data shows very low risk groups can benefit where individuals have just a five to 10 per cent chance of heart disease, and even lower. He said there did not appear to be a threshold at which the drugs didn't work and the longer they were taken, the greater the benefit. 'We need to review the guidelines and the current thresholds should go,' said Prof Collins, who claimed medical tests such as liver function were also unnecessary. Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said: 'The issue is where do you set the threshold between low, normal and high risk. 'The current arbitrary threshold was decided by cost but now statins are off patent (and much cheaper) it may be appropriate to see if there are benefits for more people - the threshold is a bit too high,' he added."

Virginia Roberts' father Sky, 58, had boasted this weekend that his daughter, who said she had sex with the royal while under-age, was introduced to Her Majesty on a trip organised by Epstein. Buckingham Palace emphatically denied that any such meeting took place. But today Mr Roberts retracted his claim. In a statement sent to MailOnline, he said: 'I want to clear up that many years ago Virginia stated to me she was to meet the Queen's son Prince Andrew and not the Queen herself. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.' Scroll down for video . Decial: The Queen has said she did not meet Virginia Roberts after her father Sky (pictured with her aged seven) said she met the monarch on the same trip she met Prince Andrew . He added that he had not demanded that Prince Andrew be prosecuted, but said that 'any person whether it is a Prince or a pauper, if anybody has sex with a minor, they should be prosecuted.' Mr Roberts said this weekend that his daughter told him 'a few years back' that she had met Prince Andrew and the Queen after she had been flown to London by Epstein. The claim of a meeting with the Queen was not made by Miss Roberts herself. Responding to Mr Roberts' claim, a Palace spokesman said: ‘There is nothing to suggest that this claim is true. We have no record of such a meeting.’ Prince Andrew vehemently denies the claims made in a new legal action by Miss Roberts that he abused her as an under-age girl at an orgy where she was being used as a ‘sex slave’. The legal allegation states that Miss Roberts was ‘forced’ to have sex with the royal at parties in London, New York and the Caribbean. She claims she was told to ‘give the prince whatever he demanded’ by his friend Epstein – the US paedophile who hosted the parties – and that she was converted ‘into what is commonly referred to as a sex slave’. Sky Roberts spoke out this weekend to support his daughter, who is now 30, and said her claims should be tested in court. Prince Andrew photographed with Virginia Roberts in 2001 . Her father said: ‘I brought up my children and that includes Virginia to always tell the truth … Why would she lie?’ Mr Roberts, who lives on a five-acre ranch in Summerfield, near Ocala, Florida, said he had never talked to his daughter about her allegedly being kept as a sex slave by Epstein and loaned out to other rich men. But he insisted that if Prince Andrew did have sex with his daughter when she was 17 and under the legal age limit, he should be prosecuted. ‘I don’t care if he is a prince or the guy who lives down the road … it should not have happened and they must face the consequences,’ he said. ‘Having under-age sex is against the law and he should be prosecuted.’ Mr Roberts, who divorced from Virginia’s mother Lynn eight years ago, said he has not spoken to his daughter in three months. Miss Roberts and husband Robert left their home in Titusville, Florida, and are now in Colorado. Her father said he never suspected she was being abused by Epstein and his friends; adding: ‘At the time we thought it was all OK. Virginia never once said anything about any sexual activity. I never asked her because I did not think that was going on. ‘Mr Epstein seemed an upstanding kind of guy. She would go to his house in Palm Beach but always come home. When he started flying her all over the world we just thought what a life she was having … All Virginia ever said was that she was hired to give massages.’ He said his daughter was never in trouble with police and avoided any involvement in drugs while growing up in California and Loxahatchee, Florida. Mr Roberts also claims his daughter (right) was introduced to the Queen. Left, Prince Andrew with former friend Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 . Prince Andrew was seen leaving Verbier ski resort in Switzerland today as he made his way back to the UK . Marriage: Miss Roberts pictured with her husband Robert on their wedding day in Thailand in 2002 . ‘There was one occasion when she was taken to hospital with alcohol poisoning … She was about 15 years old. That was the only time she had been in trouble. Growing up she had everything she wanted. It was a good family life with her brothers Sky [now 25] and Daniel [now 35].’ Mr Roberts, who is retired, admitted he has not read any of the allegations made by his daughter and avoided reading her account in 2011, when she waived her right to anonymity and talked about her time with Epstein. FRIDAY: ‘This relates to long-standing and ongoing civil proceedings in the United States, to which the Duke of York is not a party. As such we would not comment on the detail. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue.’ SATURDAY AFTERNOON: ‘A very serious allegation, of sex with a minor, was levelled at the duke in a legal document submitted to a US court. The earlier statement categorically rejected that claim; and as was indicated at the time, we do not intend to comment further.’ SATURDAY EVENING, in response to specific claims about Andrew’s alleged conduct: ‘It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.’ He said: ‘I still don’t want to know. Virginia has never talked about it with me, as it’s not the sort of thing a father wants to hear from his daughter. I might be putting my head in the sand, but that is the way I want it … What Virginia did back then is in the past.’ Mr Roberts said he visited her several times when she lived in Australia. She moved back to the US 18 months ago to be closer to her family. In court documents, Miss Roberts – who is not named – says she was ‘procured for sexual activities’ for Epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell, the socialite daughter of crooked tycoon Robert Maxwell. Miss Maxwell is alleged to have facilitated the prince’s ‘abuse’ of the girl. The legal documents, lodged with a Florida court, name Miss Maxwell as a ‘madame’ and a ‘primary co-conspirator in [Epstein’s] sexual abuse and sex trafficking scheme’. She has previously branded all claims against her as ‘untrue’ and ‘obvious lies’. The court papers name Andrew, 54, as one of three men allegedly involved in abusing ‘Jane Doe #3’ when she was 17 – under-age according to Florida state law. Epstein, a long-term friend of Andrew, was jailed for 13 months in 2008 for soliciting girls for under-age prostitution. The pair remained friends and were seen together in 2011 after Epstein’s release. On Friday a Buckingham Palace spokesman said ‘any suggestion of impropriety with under-age minors is categorically untrue’. Andrew’s accuser countered the statement, saying via her lawyers that she is an ‘innocent victim’ and: ‘I’m not going to be bullied back into silence.’ Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article."

Recently elected Fernando Sebastian Aguilar from Spain, 85, who takes up his office in the Vatican in February, angered gay rights groups by likening the sexual orientation to long lasting physical aliments like his own high blood pressure. The comments are in direct contrast to Pope Francis' recent assertion that the Catholic church should not marginalise gay people, but should instead treat them with acceptance and compassion; comments that were immediately attacked by local politicians. Cardinal-elect Sebastian Fernando, whose outspoken views on homosexuality have been lambasted by the LGBT community as 'medieval' and 'out of touch' In an interview with Diario Sur, the newly elected cardinal, who lives in Malaga in Costa del Sol remained defiant against comments from LGBT groups that his words were 'medieval' and 'out of place in this time'. Aguilar, the only Spaniard among the 19 new cardinals, insisted the Pope's message about gay people had been manipulated. He said: 'All he is doing is offering comprehension and compassion and showing a desire to welcome those who have gone astray.' 'Homosexuality is a defective manner of expressing sexuality, because this has a structure and a purpose, which is procreation. 'A homosexual who can't achieve procreation is failing. Our bodies have many defects. I have high blood . pressure, a defect I have to try and . correct in whatever way I can. 'To say that . homosexuality is a defect is not an insult: it helps because in many . cases of homosexuality it is possible to recover and become normal with . the right treatment.'

A view of a statue and rainbow, adopted long ago as the symbol and flag of homosexuality, as seen from the court of the Rome parish of the Sacro Cuore di Gesu during the Pope's visit . In an interview about the . regeneration people have claimed Pope Francis is bringing to the Catholic church, . Pope Francis said: 'If a person is gay and seeks God who am I to judge?' The . Pope's recent messages on accepting and giving compassion towards . homosexuals in the Catholic church earned him the award '2013 person of . the year in 'The Advocate', a U.S. gay and lesbian magazine. When reminded of the Pope's speech last year asking for compassion towards homosexuals, he said: 'The pope is very respectful and holds all people in high esteem but he doesn't betray or change the traditional teaching of the church. It is one thing to be compassionate towards homosexuals, and another thing to morally justify the practice of that homosexuality. 'You can tell a person what their weakness is but that doesn't justify a decision to respect them and help them.' People with rainbow flags chant slogans as they attend Riga Pride 2007 in Riga, Latvia . The 84-year Archbishop emeritus of . Pamplona, one of 19 new cardinals named by Pope Francis last week, . elevated archbishop to the rank of cardinal in recognition of his . life-long service to the church. However, he is not among the 16 cardinals who were given voting rights and will one day elect his successor. Maria Gamez, spokesman for the left-wing PSOE party in Malaga, spoke out against Aguilar's anti-gay sentiments. He said: 'These are not the winds of change that appear to be blowing from the Vatican. 'Pope Francis seemed to have distanced himself from these retrograde, insulting and anti constitutional theses. 'He should be asking himself whether a cardinal like this is helping the regeneration he defends.'"

Meanwhile, Barcelona have agreed a £15million transfer fee with Arsenal to sign Thomas Vermaelen, in what will be a blow to Manchester United. The deal is now pending personal terms between Vermaelen's agent and the Nou Camp outfit before the deal can be finalised. On Wednesday, Barcelona sent transfer negotiator Raul Sanllehi to London and he had productive talks offering a four-year contract, with the option of an extra year, worth £80,000 a week. Pretty in pink: Gerard Pique trains at St George's park before flying to Finland for a pre-season friendly . Sanllehi left feeling he had done enough to convince Arsenal and the player that Barcelona was his best option. They now believe the player is '99 per cent' theirs. The news will come as a blow to Old Trafford boss Louis van Gaal, as United and Arsenal hit a stalemate over the proposed £15million purchase of Vermaelen on a three-year deal. Arsene Wenger is refusing to sell the Belgian defender to United unless a player comes in return with Chris Smalling top of his wishlist. CLICK HERE to start picking your Fantasy Football team NOW!

"value": "A feminist stripper who has been working in the industry for 22 years has spoken out in defense of her controversial profession, insisting that she feels more empowered as a woman because of her time spent dancing on the pole in strip clubs. Antonia Crane, who also works as a writer and a teacher, told CNN's Lisa Lang that she feels incredibly 'sexy' whenever she takes to the stage and believes that stripping allows her to embrace her womanhood and her sexuality. 'Generally it's a sexy dance and you just kind of get into the mode,' she said. 'When the music plays you just go and you become kind of an animal. You become part of that world, like a sensual world of heat and sleaze.' 'It's hot and empowering': Antonia, 42, believes that stripping can actually enable women to better embrace their femininity . Center stage: Antonia says that dancing on the pole makes her feel 'sexy' 'My goal was to pay my tuition': Antonia initially began stripping as a means of paying her way through college . The 42-year-old is adamant that society's perception of stripping as a degrading and shameful profession is entirely wrong. 'I think it's hot and empowering,' she added. 'I think that our culture tells us that it's bad and that it's inherently degrading but I don't subscribe to that.' Having entered into the industry at the age of 20, when her friend took her along to one of 'San Francisco's oldest, sleaziest clubs', Antonia has since clocked more than 10,000 hours working in a variety of strip clubs across America. 'Initially, my goal was to pay my rent and afford my exorbitant college tuition while taking down the patriarchy one lap dance at a time,' she wrote in a piece for CNN. 'I was studying post-structural feminist theory and the civil rights movement and stripping complemented the art and literature I was exploring at that time.' She is clear, however, that there are some drawbacks to working in what can be an incredibly dark - and sometimes even dangerous - profession and admits that there have been nights when she has been 'grabbed' and the people have been 'awful'. But despite her growing career in writing and teaching - Antonia has already published one memoir, Spent, about her mother's illness and the sex industry and is currently writing a new self-help book for strippers - she admits that she has no plans to retire from the pole any time soon. Spreading the word: Antonia is currently writing a self-help book for other women working in the industry . Money matters: The writer, who has already published her memoir, Spent, insists that stripping is the most profitable profession for her to work in . 'My plan was to strip for a month or two, pay some bills and walk away unscathed with a cushion in the bank... 'Every stripper... I have ever met assumes they're just going to strip for one weekend to pay a stack of parking tickets or buy a plane ticket, but that's not what happens... 'I hope to build a life so huge outside the strip club that I won't need to dance anymore because I am too busy writing and teaching; creating other moments of joy and human connection in the classroom and on the page; to rise so far in that field that I won't need to land into laps again, but until that happens, I will strip.'"

After being released from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and fronting a press conference, the Dallas nurse was transported straight to the White House for a meeting with President Obama. The President warmly greeted the health worker with a hug. 'I feel fortunate and blessed to be standing here today,' the 26-year-old told reporters at the press conference. 'I would first and foremost like to thank God, my family, and friends. 'I would especially like to thank Dr Kent Brantly for his selfless act of donating plasma to me. 'I believe in the power of prayer, because I know so many people all over the world have been praying for me.' Scroll down for videos . Officially cured: President Barack Obama meets with Ebola survivor Nina Pham in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, on Friday, October 24, 2014, straight after the Dallas nurse was released from hospital . Hug: President Barack Obama greeted the Dallas nurse Nina Pham with a hug on Friday afternoon . Embracing Ebola: President Obama and Nina Pham hug in the Oval Office as her mother Diana, center, and sister Cathy Pham sit nearby . All-clear: Miss Pham tested negative for Ebola on five DNA tests before she was released from hospital Friday . Freed: Nina Pham, the Dallas nurse infected with Ebola as she treated dying patient Thomas Eric Duncan, speaks at a press conference after being discharged from hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, on Friday . In the clear: Patient Nina Pham is hugged by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, outside of National Institutes of Health Clinical Center on Friday . Support: Nina Pham, center, with her mother Diana Berry, right, and sister Cathy Pham, left, smiles as members of the NIH staff outside applaud during a news conference in Maryland on Friday . Blessed: Nina Pham told reporters she felt 'fortunate and blessed to be standing here today' as she left the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) hospital outside Washington D.C. Quarantined: Miss Pham's beloved dog, Bentley, has been placed on a 21-day incubation following his owners Ebola diagnosis. He is due to be released on November 1 . 'Although I no longer have Ebola, I know it may be a while before I have my strength back.' Dr Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease chief at the NIH, was sure to reiterate at the press conference: ‘(Nina) is cured of Ebola.’ Miss Pham was one of two nurses in Dallas who became infected with Ebola while treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of the virus October 8. She was diagnosed on October 12, but has since tested negative to five DNA exams . Amber Vinson, the second nurse to be diagnosed with Ebola, was cleared of the virus earlier this week, her family said. Miss Pham received a blood transfusion from Dr Kent Brantly, who was given the all-clear from Ebola after controversially being flown into the U.S. from Liberia. Those who have survived Ebola have antibodies in their blood which can help new sufferers beat the disease, doctors believe. Pham was transferred to the biocontainment unit of the NIH facility last week from Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where she contracted Ebola. White House press secretary Josh Earnest told The New York Times that Obama requested a meeting with Miss Pham when she heard she was about to be discharged. Earnest told the newspaper that no extra precautions were taken by having Miss Pham inside the Oval Office because a 'clean bill of health' is precaution enough. Earnest added that the President wanted to thank Miss Pham for caring for Thomas Eric Duncan. Miss Pham was expected to leave for her home in Dallas following the White House visit. At the press conference today, Miss Pham said she was eager to be reunited with her dog, Bentley, who was quarantined following his owner's diagnosis. Bentley will have see out a 21-day incubation, which is due to end November 1, before his properly reunited with Miss Pham. She is expected to visit Bentley before his release. Tragic: Nina Pham, 26, was fighting for her life after contracting Ebola from Thomas Eric Duncan earlier this month. She has now been declared virus free and was released from hospital on Friday . Treatment: Nina Pham is seen here inside Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Thursday October 16, 2014, before being flown to the National Institutes of Health outside Washington . Despite wearing protective gear that included gowns, gloves, masks and face shields while caring for Mr Duncan, Miss Pham became the first person to contract the disease on U.S. soil. Pham's parents live in Fort Worth, where they are part of a closely-knit, deeply-religious community of Vietnamese Catholics. Dr Brantly's blood donation is the third time the medic has helped an Ebola victim. He was found to have the same blood type as previous patient Dr Nick Sacra and NBC cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, who is still being treated. Ebola survivor Dr Kent Brantly 'selflessly' provided blood for a transfusion for Nina Pham . Incredibly, the nurse also matched with Dr Brantly and was given a transfusion of his blood in a move that doctors believe could save her life. Brantly is believed to have traveled to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, where Pham worked, to make the donation. Dr Kent Brantly was flown back from Liberia to the U.S. after contracting Ebola during his missionary work for Samaritan's Purse. He survived after receiving a dose of the experimental serum Z-Mapp and round-the-clock care at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. On September 10, Dr Brantly donated blood to a fellow doctor, Dr Rick Sacra, who also contracted Ebola during his work in West Africa and survived the disease. He also offered his blood to Thomas Eric Duncan but their blood types didn't match. Pham was diagnosed after admitting herself to hospital when her temperature spiked – one of the first symptoms of the deadly virus. On Friday the Texas Department of State Health Services acknowledged the release of Miss Pham, who was moved to Maryland to recieve better care. On the mend: Miss Pham, seen here in a 2010 yearbook photo from Texas Christian University, will now return home to Dallas . 'I’m happy that Nina Pham is now free of Ebola, and her health continues to improve,' the department's commissioner, Dr. David Lakey, said in a statement. 'Ms. Pham’s recovery is a testament to her perseverance in the face of the disease, the excellent care she has received and the support she had of so many here in Texas and across the nation. 'Ms. Pham is returning to Texas where she will continue to rest and regain her strength, but there is nothing medically that will prevent her from resuming a normal life.' 'Based on all of the clinical findings and lab tests, we are completely confident that she has cleared the virus and is of no risk to transmit the virus to others.' Her release came on the day when New York was still reeling from the diagnosis of its first Ebola sufferer. Dr Craig Spencer, a Doctors without Borders volunteer, was diagnosed as carrying the virus on Thursday night after returning to the city from Guinea where he had been helping sufferers for a month. The doctor's fever spiked to 100.3 on Thursday which caused him to alert officials. He said he felt sluggish two days before but didn't necessarily think it was a sign of the illness. He enjoyed seven days in New York while carrying the disease and sparked terror across the affected areas. The 33-year-old went on a jog near his Harlem home, ate dinner at a restaurant and even went bowling. His fiancee is currently quarantined in New York's Belle Vue Hospital alongside him but is showing no signs of having caught the virus. Two friends the couple spent time with are also in self-isolation and are being monitored for signs of the disease. Route: Dr Craig Spencer made several stops across New York on Wednesday night just hours before his diagnosis . September 16: Dr Craig Spencer flew to Guinea to treat Ebola patients as a member of the French organization Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontiers) October 14: Dr Spencer departed Guinea on a flight to Brussels. He reported no symptoms. October 17: He boarded a flight to the U.S. on Brussels Airlines Flight SN0501. Reported no symptoms. Arrived at JFK and was screened with no symptoms upon arrival. October 21: At 7 AM, he reported fatigue and exhaustion. No fever, vomiting, diarrhea. At around 3:00 PM, Dr Spencer visited The Meatball Shop for 40 minutes. The Meatball Shop is located at 64 Greenwich Avenue. Around 4:30 PM, the he visited the High Line. Walked on High Line and stopped at the Blue Bottle Coffee stand (10th Ave & W 16th St) At around 5:30 PM, he got off the High Line at 34th Street and took the 1 train to the 145th Street station. October 22: At around 1:00 PM, Dr Spencer went running along Riverside Drive and Westside Highway . Around 2:00 PM, he went to pick up Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share at 143rd St and Amsterdam Avenue (Corbin Hill Farm) and picked up a box which he took to his apartment. At around 5:30 PM, Dr Spencer left for The Gutter bowling alley in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with two friends. For his arrival at Gutter, he took the A train at 145th Street and transferred at 14th Street and took the L train to Bedford Avenue. Around 8:30 PM, Dr Spencer left The Gutter. For his return trip, he used Uber as his means of transportation. October 23: Around 10:15AM, he first reported a fever. At this point, he called Medecins Sans Frontieres and the New York City Health Department. He was immediately taken to Bellevue by FDNY EMS."

"value": "Many women who juggle career and travel plans fear 'leaving it too late' to have a baby. But one professor has dismissed the theory that once women pass 30 they will immediately begin to suffer fertility problems. Psychologist Jean Twenge has controversially claimed that there's not really a difference between trying to get pregnant in your late twenties and your late thirties. Psychologist Jean Twenge has controversially claimed that there's not really a difference between trying to get pregnant in your late twenties and your late thirties . The San Diego State University professor has refuted statistics that claim there is a significant difference in the odds of getting pregnant in your late twenties. Prof Twenge claims that many women are reading statistics based on outdated records, taken from a time before antibiotics, electricity and advanced medical treatment were in use and the quality of life was much lower. The professor has dismissed statistics that claim there is a significant difference in the odds of getting pregnant in your late twenties . Writing in The Atlantic, the author - who has written the book 'The Impatient Women's Guide to Getting Pregnant' - says that she too feared she would be left childless as she had not tried for a baby and had passed 30. She said: 'Most books and websites I read said that one in three women ages 35 to 39 would not get pregnant within a year of starting to try. 'The first page of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine's (ASRM) 2003 guide for patients noted that women in their late 30s had a 30 per cent chance of remaining childless altogether. 'The guide also included statistics that I’d seen repeated in many other places: a woman’s chance of pregnancy was 20 percent each month at age 30, dwindling to five per cent by age 40. 'Every time I read these statistics, my stomach dropped like a stone, heavy and foreboding.' She counsels that there is a just a . marginal difference between falling pregnant at 27 and 39 - despite what . the majority of websites and books say. Instead, she says that some statistics . widely touted today are actually based on data from French birth . records from 1670 to 1830. She also rubbishes the widely cited . statistic that one in three women ages 35 to 39 will not be pregnant . after a year of trying, which is based on a 2004 article in the Human . Reproduction journal, which used the historical record as its source. She says that women are now basing their pregnancy plans on these antiquated reports, and should focus on modern studies, that show a more encouraging outlook when it comes to getting pregnant. She rubbished the widely cited statistic that one in three women ages 35 to 39 will not be pregnant after a year of trying . She said a 2004 study in Obstetrics & Gynecology studied the chances of pregnancy among 770 European women, and found positive results. The study, led by David Dunson, discovered that of the subjects who had sex at least twice a week, 82 per cent of 35-to-39-year-old women conceived within a year, compared with 86 per cent of 27-to-34-year-olds. This showed that the fertility rates of women in their late 20s and early 30s was almost identical - which will bring considerable relief to worried women who fear that their chasing other priorities has wiped their chances of motherhood. The author seeks to calm the panic many women feel, using herself as an example - she had three children and all after the age of 35. She says fertility problems are not solely based on a woman's age, and points to endometriosis and blocked fallopian tubes for causing difficulties in conceiving. But her comments have been met with criticism from other experts, who insist that age does significantly affect fertility. Lord Winston, The Times reports, claims that medical data collated over 20 years shows a definite decline in fertility with age and, while warning doctors from urging women to have children at a young age, says that there is good evidence of a decline with age. The newspaper also reported that consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Valentine Akende said that generally, women's fertility rates began to slip at 31, dropped at age 37 and sharply fell after age 41. But despite Prof Twenge's reassurances, it would seem that the statistics have had a lasting impact on women's views of motherhood. According to a new survey, nearly 70 per cent . of British women think a woman having a baby in her forties is too old - . with the most critical being the older generation. Of those surveyed, over three quarters aged 55 and over were against woman having a baby in their fifth decade. The . survey, undertaken by YouGov on behalf of First Response Early . Pregnancy test, appears to show a deep-rooted discomfort with women who . delay motherhood until their fifth decade."

"value": "It is the kind of talk Alejandro Sabella is trying to discourage. This almost unbreakable belief, among Argentina’s players, that not only will they create chances but that Lionel Messi will almost certainly take them. It is some position to be in at a World Cup. A source of confidence that must empower every member of the Argentina squad. But Sabella keeps stressing the need to be less reliant on their captain and inspiration and the chat among his players after securing safe passage to the last 16, and an encounter with Switzerland in Sao Paulo next week, will do little to appease him. Fernando Gago spoke of two certainties in the life of this Argentina team. Firstly: ‘That we’re going to have two or three great chances to score every game.’ And secondly: ‘That we’ve got the best player in the world.’ Vital: Lionel Messi has scored four goals for Argentina already at the World Cup . Side by side: Messi and Fernando Gago train for Argentina at their base just outside Belo Horizonte . Preparation: The Argentina team are put through their paces at their World Cup base . VIDEO All Star XI: Lionel Messi . The four goals Messi has already scored in this tournament, the first two securing victory in their opening two group matches, would suggest Gago has a point. And in fairness to the Boca Juniors midfielder, he also acknowledged ‘the need’ for Argentina ‘to improve in other areas’. But Federico Fernandez echoed the view of his colleague on the remarkable Messi. ‘Well I think he’s demonstrated it again, hasn’t he?’ he said. ‘Another great goal, he always pops up.’ True enough he does, with impressive frequency. But Nigeria, like Iran before them, exposed a degree of vulnerability at the opposite end of the field and Peter Odemwingie sees a fragile defence as Argentina’s ‘weak link’. ‘They can definitely be opened up,’ said Stoke’s Nigerian international forward. ‘No disrespect but there is not much pace in the middle and the second-half showed that. ‘If you don’t let them just play slowly from the back they are in trouble. The key to success against this team is to force them to kick it long. We did that, intercepted their long balls and went fast on the counter-attacks. Off his chest: Gago addresses the media at a press conference at Argentina's HQ . Laughing and joking: Messi, Javier Mascherano and Co are all smiles during training . Breaking the news: Team doctor Armando Daniel Martinez revealed Sergio Aguero will miss the next game . ‘I think even Iran had success against Argentina by doing that. We had seven, eight, nine shots we could have scored from today. ‘We also saw that when Argentina played Bosnia; how they played, there were chances for the opposition. Defence is not the strongest part of their game. Iran could have scored a few so we went into this game knowing we could get goals. We got two and we could have had more.’ Sabella describes his side as an ‘offensive team’ and Odemwingie would not disagree. ‘The quality they have is all up front’ he said. ‘The movement of Higuain, Aguero, Di Maria, who surprised us with long-range shots today, that is their strength. Laid back: Messi and Angel Di Maria relax on the training field in Belo Horizonte . Full stretch: Goalkeeper Mariano Andujar tests his shot stopping skills . ‘But the defence, that’s their weak link. The way they play, to get their results, they have to take the game to the other half of the pitch. They know they have to do that because if they play in their own half they are going to be in trouble. They are doing the right thing, playing too their strengths.’ An interesting debate emerged from the post-match interview area at the Estadio Beira-Rio. Javier Mascherano thought there was already evidence to suggest the South American teams had an advantage because of the unique conditions in this part of the world. While Odemwingie thought the decisive factor would simply be fitness. ‘It’s not easy to play in America,’ said Argentina’s Mascherano. ‘I think now people are realising that. It’s different. World Cups here are more difficult. The pitches are not like they are in Europe. They’re drier, the climate is different, the time, there are lots of variables. The football is not played with the speed with which European teams are used to playing. Maybe that suits the South American teams more. Hopefully those variables will favour the South American teams because that would mean that we have a chance. Although Holland are not South American and they are playing very well.’ VIDEO Aguero set to miss Switzerland last-16 clash . Thirsty work: Former Liverpool star Maxi Rodriguez . Finger pointing: Argentine coach Alejandro Sabella . Test: Argentina play Switzerland in the last 16 in Sao Paulo next week . Odemwingie had a different view. ‘Any team can surprise anyone at this World Cup,’ he said. ‘My first impression from this tournament is that the fittest team will win it. If you don’t let the opposition play and you are fit, you are going to get scoring opportunities. And if you are very fit you don’t let them play. And that is the key to winning this World Cup. The second-halves are longer than you wish them to be here.’ Whoever turns out to be right, Argentina’s players accept they must show more discipline at the back. ‘There’s a lot to think about,’ said Marcos Rojo, who was not at his best in defence but did manage to score Argentina’s winning goal. ‘In defence we have to improve because they’ve put two past us and that puts pressure on those up front.’ As for the man himself, he sounded a little more positive. ‘It’s always good to win games at any level but there’s much more to come,’ said Messi. His team-mates expect nothing less."

"value": "Amazon sold more than three million items last Monday, making it the firm’s busiest day ever. The first Monday in December has earned the nickname ‘Cyber Monday’ as it is the busiest day for internet shoppers keen to ensure their order arrives in time for Christmas. Amazon’s British arm beat last year’s Cyber Monday total of 2.3million items, as the Christmas rush finally got started. Christmas rush: Amazon took orders for more than 3million items on 'Cyber Monday' The online retailer’s bestseller was its own Kindle e-reader, which costs £89. Christopher North, managing director of Amazon.co.uk, said: ‘This year, Cyber Monday saw the most items ever ordered in a single day with Kindle being the stand-out product.’ Christmas web sales are expected to rise 15 per cent this year, accounting for £7.75billion in sales. But there was also some relief for traditional retailers as millions of shoppers hit the High Street this weekend. It comes as chains across Britain slash their prices to lure Christmas shoppers into their stores, with many starting ‘panic sales’ long before Boxing Day. Boxed up: Amazon workers pack goods ready for shipping at the distribution centre in Swansea, Wales . Their takings are tipped to fall 2.1 per cent to £55.7billion. Top gadget: Kindle e-readers were the best-selling product that shoppers snapped up . More than 1.5million shoppers spent £180million in Central London on Saturday alone, according to the New West End Company, which represents around 600 traders in Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street. The company said it expected a further £100million to be spent yesterday (sun), and said technology and winter fashion had proved to be the best sellers. Chief executive Richard Dickinson said: ‘Based on past experience we were confident that despite the slow start to seasonal spending, shoppers would get the tills ringing over the next two weeks, but this weekend has exceeded expectations.’ Capital Shopping Centres, which operates 14 malls across Britain, including the Trafford Centre in Manchester and Lakeside in Thurrock, said more than eight million shoppers had visited its malls in the last week. Retail sales figures for November, out on Thursday, are expected to show that consumers have been forced to economise. High inflation has forced up the price of food, leaving shoppers with less money in their pockets. Unseasonably warm weather in October and November also meant there was low demand for winter fashion until the last two weeks. Oxford Street: More than 1.5million shoppers spent £180million in Central London on Saturday alone . Ongoing fears of a double dip recession and the possible collapse of the Eurozone are also expected to have hit High Street sales. Forecaster Capital Economics suggested there would be a last-minute rush for presents, but that it would probably lead to a very weak start to spending in the New Year. The success of e-readers, which can store between 1,000 and 10,000 e-books, has bucked the trend for dwindling sales figures. Kindle’s maker Amazon reported earlier this year that it was selling 105 e-books for every 100 printed books. The gadget is now facing increased competition from rivals Kobo, Sony and Apple’ s iPad."

Rather than being a poor excuse for toilet humour, Ideal Standard has created a toilet seat featuring the club's tiger stripes on one side - which could still cause some fans an upset stomach after owner Assem Allam's derided attempts to rebrand the club. But, perhaps even more concerning, is the image of Steve Bruce that greets the user once the lid has been lifted, supposedly a tribute to the first manager to lead Hull to a FA Cup final. VIDEO: Scroll down to watch Steve Bruce on Hull's Wembley date . Toilet humour! Ideal Standard's toilet seat features the Tigers' stripes and Steve Bruce under the lid! However, should the Tigers' attempts to upset overwhelming favourites Arsenal fail when the two sides meet at Wembley on Saturday, the aim of any disgruntled supporters after the game cannot be guaranteed. Bruce's team talk will have been made easier after an image that appeared to show Arsenal's victory bus, emblazoned with the words 'Arsenal, The FA Cup Winners 2014' was leaked - while traffic notices around north London suggest making way for a victory parade on Sunday. Not to be outdone, Hull have confirmed they would be staging their own celebrations, although at least the statement was less self assured: 'Should our historic appearance in the FA Cup final next weekend result in theTigers lifting the iconic trophy, a victory parade through the streets of Hull will take place on Sunday 18 May. 'The parade will start at the KC Stadium and take in many areas of Hull including Anlaby Road, the city centre, Holderness Road, Sutton Road, Greenwood Avenue, Hall Road, County Road, Pickering Road and Hessie.' Causing a stink! Steve Bruce's reward for taking Hull to their first FA Cup final is his image in a toilet seat . Parade: A picture of a bus embossed with the Arsenal badge and strap-line 'FA Cup Winners' has emerged . Ideal Standard, the UK's leading bathroom . manufacturer, employs around 300 people in Hull and has been making . their products there since 1936. Keith Boad, managing director, Ideal Standard UK, said: 'We are very proud of our hometown football team, Hull City AFC and wanted to do something to mark their achievement and let them know everyone at Ideal Standard will be supporting them in the final. 'This is certainly something a little bit fun and a little bit different, but because of our heritage and our innovative designers, we understand bathrooms better than anyone else and know that people want personalised solutions for their bathrooms at home. 'Let’s just hope this WC seat lid isn’t the only thing Steve Bruce will be lifting up this weekend – and we are certainly hoping that Hull win, rather than loos!'

Authors of the new book ‘Grey Wolf: The Escape Of Adolf’ believe evidence of the tyrant’s suicide is flawed – and that he actually escaped in 1945 to begin a new life with his wife, Eva Braun. But the claims have been ridiculed by leading historian Guy Walters who today branded them ‘2,000 per cent rubbish.’ 'Junk history': Claims that Adolf Hitler, left, and his partner Eva Braun, right, fled Germany and survived in Argentina have been branded 'utter nonsense' by a leading historian . Hitler and Braun’s ‘flight’ from . Berlin is laid out in lavish detail by British authors Gerrard Williams . and Simon Dunstan in their new book. They refute the widely accepted view . that the Fuhrer shot himself in his Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945, and . Braun committed suicide by taking cyanide. Instead, they claim, there is . ‘overwhelming evidence’ to suggest that the couple escaped at the end of . the Second World War for a new life in a Nazi-controlled enclave in . Fascist Argentina. Mr Williams and Mr Dunstan go on to state the pair had two daughters before Hitler died in 1962 at the age of 73. Mr Williams, a historian and journalist who has written extensively about the Second World War, told Sky News: ‘We didn’t . want to re-write history, but the evidence we’ve discovered about the . escape of Adolf Hitler is just too overwhelming to ignore. ‘There is no forensic evidence for . his, or Eva Braun’s deaths, and the stories from the eyewitnesses to . their continued survival in Argentina are compelling.’ Escape: This map shows the route that Hitler and Braun are said to have used to escape from the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin when the Russians were approaching . The book also claims American . intelligence officials were complicit in the escape, in return for . access to war technology developed by the Nazis. It also says that skull fragments . thought to be those of Hitler currently held by the Russians are . actually that of a young woman under the age of 40. Hitler was 56 when . he died. Mr Williams said he and Mr Dunstan - an author, film-maker and photographer who specialises in military history - . carried out their research on the ground in Argentina, interviewing . eyewitnesses to Hitler’s presence there. He added: ‘It’s only now that Argentina is once more a thriving democracy that the real stories are beginning to come out. ‘Even so, two of our eyewitnesses received death threats from persons unknown while working with us on this book.’ The sensational claims have already . been ridiculed by historians, including Mr Walters, who has studied Nazi . Germany extensively and written a series of books about the war. He labelled the idea that Hitler . lived in South America until the 1960s as the ‘worst sort of junk . history’ that relied on ‘dubious secondary sources.’ He said: 'The theory that Hitler survived rubbishes decades of research by proper historians and intelligence officers. Hideaway: Decades of research has concluded that Hitler and Eva Braun died at the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin, pictured . New home: Hitler lived until the age of 73 in the foothills of the Andes mountains in Argentina, according to Grey Wolf: The Escape of Adolf Hitler . 'The two authors should be ashamed of . themselves for peddling this kind of utter nonsense. It's simply . unbelievable that publishers would give them the time of day. 'It's an absolute disgrace. There's . no substance to it at all. It appeals to the deluded fantasies of . conspiracy theorists and has no place whatsoever in historical research. 'There have been thousands of . theories over the years that Hitler might have escaped but they are . nothing more than parlor games. 'The evidence that Hitler was killed in simply overwhelming. For these authors to claim otherwise is simply staggering.' Mr Walters conceded that the authors are right in stating that the skull taken by the Russians was not that of Hitler. He said: 'There were many people in . the bunker and it takes a giant leap of the imagination to get from a . museum in Russia to him living a life in Argentina. 'The idea that everybody in the bunker was in on the plan is infeasible. It just would not have happened. 'The whole point of Hitler was that he would die after the war. It was not in his psychology to carry on living in Argentina.' Nazis: Josef Mengele, known as 'The Doctor of Auschwitz', left, escaped to South America after the War, as did Otto Adolf Eichmann, right . Rochus Misch, 94, Hitler’s former . radio operator and the last survivor of the Berlin bunker, says he saw . the bodies of ‘the boss’ and Eva Braun with his own eyes. He said: ‘I was in the room next door . when he shot himself. I did not hear the shot but I saw his uncovered . corpse when the door was opened. ‘I saw Hitler slumped with his head on the table. ‘I saw Eva Braun sitting dead in the . corner of the sofa, her head turned to Hitler, her knees pulled up to . her chest. She had a dark blue dress on and a white frill on her . collar.’ Dispelling the myths: Leading historian Guy Walters said the Hitler escape theory was 'junk' Historians hold him up as a reliable . source and he is the author of a book, published several years ago, . called The Last Witness. Grey Wolf focuses on the crucial days in 1945 as the allies closed in on Hitler’s bunker. Mr Williams and Mr Dunstan claim a body double took Hitler’s place and an actress stood in for Eva Braun on April 27. It was at this point that the pair . were able to flee Berlin, travelling to Tonder in Denmark before . returning to Travemunde in Germany. From here it is claimed that they . flew to a Spanish military base at Reus, south of Barcelona, before . General Franco supplied a plane to take them to Fuerteventura in the . Canary Islands. A day later the two fugitives are . said to have boarded a U-boat and the two body doubles were executed and . their bodies subsequently burned. The book points to declassified FBI . documents which contain references to Hitler having escaped Berlin to . begin a new life in South America. It also includes testimony from the . pilot who supposedly flew Hitler and Eva Braun out of Berlin to Mar Del . Plata on the Argentinian coast. Here they say he lived in a wooden chalet in a remote village where they survived on the money from looted gold and jewellery. The book quotes a number of sources, . such as cooks and doctors, who claim to have knew the Nazi leader before . he died aged 73 on February 13, 1962. They claim that Hitler's . bloodline survived through two daughters he had with Braun. If Hitler had escaped to Argentina, . he would have been following in the footsteps of his henchmen, Mengele, . Eichmann and Barbie who all fled after the war to South America. A film based on the claims called Grey Wolf is currently being made and is due to be released early next year. It is not the first time that Hitler has been rumoured to have fled to Argentina. Author Abel Basti claimed the same in his 2003 book Hitler In Argentina. He said Hitler and Braun fled to Argentine shores aboard a submarine and lived for many years in the vicinity of San Carlos de Bariloche, a tourist site and ski haven some 1,000 miles southwest of Buenos Aires. In his book Bariloche Nazi-Guía Turística he reproduced documents, affidavits, photographs and blueprints aimed at steering the reader to the sites that sheltered Hitler and his top henchmen. He claimed the Incalco Ranch, located in Villa la Angostura on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, was the refuge chosen by Argentine Nazis to hide the couple. Set amid a pine forest, it could only be reached by boat or hydroplane, and belonged to Argentine businessman Jorge Antonio, one of the most trusted friends of three-times president Juan Domingo Perón. Basti also claimed Hitler had lived at Hacienda San Ramon, six miles east of Bariloche, which belonged at the time to Schaumberg-Lippe principality."

Robert Turner was thrown into police cells for nearly three hours after a morning arrest at his home in Throop, Dorset last month. After weeks of waiting, he was told he would not face charges earlier this month. He believes the mistaken arrest was due to him being given a 'recycled' phone number when he switched to Virgin Media last year. Robert Turner was arrested in front of his eight-year-old daughter Megan after he was investigated for fraud because of a mix-up with his 'recycled' phone number . Mr Turner switched to the company from BT last year and was promptly given a new number by his new landline supplier. He then started receiving mysterious phone calls from debt collectors for a business completely unknown to him. He said: 'We were getting six, seven or more calls a day. There were calls from debt collectors demanding money.' Mr Turner found his new number listed on a website for a company and tried to contact them to ask them to remove it, without success. Mr Turner believes his arrest was due to him being given a 'recycled' number when he switched telephone companies last year . He says he called Virgin Media a number of times but there were long delays to having his number changed. He said: 'They just said nothing could be done unless the company removed the number from its website and advised me it could be identity theft.' Describing his arrest, which took place on December 14, he said: 'I had just done breakfast for my girls when the door went at 8.45am. 'They told me I was under arrest for fraudulent representation. I was still in my dressing gown and my eight-year-old daughter was stood next to me. 'Then they followed me upstairs to get dressed. It was humiliating.' Mr Turner said police told him his telephone number had been registered to a debit card which had made four fraudulent transactions. However, his name and address were not registered to the card. After weeks with the arrest hanging over him, he was told on January 7 that he would not face charges. He said he does not blame police for investigating but was angry with Virgin Media. A spokesman for Virgin Media said they do 'recycle' phone numbers of former customers but only after a certain period of time had lapsed. The spokesman said: '(Mr Turner) signed up to the company in May 2014 and did not register for a number change until October. 'Mr Turner's account was in arrears when he first requested his number changed. Once paid he declined our offer to do this for several months. We supplied his account file (to him) as requested.' Dorset Police declined to comment on the case."

"value": "Author William Hanson says there is a pandemic of party rudeness that has gripped the nation . The story about the parents of a five-year-old being sent a ‘no show’ invoice for £15.95 for failing to honour their word about their son’s attendance at his friend’s ‘slide and ride’ birthday party at a ski centre in Plymouth has hit the headlines. The bill senders (the birthday boy's parents) are getting some flack for issuing the invoice in the first place – I agree, a tad weird and certainly not the correct thing – but I do applaud their courage. Especially given the Nash family had replied officially confirming their son Alex’s attendance but decided to go with, what will appear to the jilted hosts to be a ‘better offer,’ of a family day visiting relatives. Supposedly no contact details were available for the hosts so the Nash’s couldn’t contact them to rescind Alex’s attendance. As bizarre as this particular scenario may be, this family in Plymouth (hardly the party-centre of the UK, I admit) is just one example of the pandemic of party rudeness that has gripped the nation. No one knows how to behave at parties anymore. Times change, I get it. But when it comes to the world of entertaining there are some areas that I feel should be sacrosanct. As a regular host I can get quite worked up when I attend the events of others to see guests behaving in a fashion, which to my eyes, feels less than courteous. Scroll down for video . Maybe attending . Hosts of any age are really asking for it when they opt to invite their chosen guests via Facebook. Although it can be helpful for getting together large numbers of friends, it has its pitfalls - namely this magic third-option for soirées that Mr Zuckerberg has invented: maybe attending. A guest is not 'maybe' attending. You’re either going, or you’re not. If you are unsure if you can go but need to check, hold off clicking anything. It’s quite simple. Some techno-babe once told me why people often click maybe attending. She said that invited guests would feel like they’d offend the host by saying they weren’t coming. Again, as a host, I know that not everyone can come to everything, but need to know final numbers so I know how many canapés to make. What would happen if all guests clicked maybe attending? Derek Nash was issued an invoice for £15.95 by a fellow parent after he failed to take Alex, pictured, to his classmate's birthday party at a ski slope in Plymouth after saying he would be attending . The pre-party . Some under 35s are now particularly guilty of initiating what we shall term a ‘pre-party’. This is where one of the guests decides to invite a select few to their house at the same time as the initial party for a ‘warm up’. Not only does it somewhat upstage the original host, but also should the stealth gathering be discovered it could seriously damage friendships. At one party I attended, the host actually commented, after 50 minutes, as to the whereabouts of the 14 other guests. Only me, the host’s partner and two others had arrived on time. Then, at 8.25pm, the remainder of the guests list arrived en masse with no explanation as to where they had all been or why they were all arriving together. If you don't want to find yourself on the end of an unwanted invoice follow my top tips for being the perfect party guest... 1. Reply . All invitations, whether through the post, online or in your child’s satchel must be replied to within 2-3 days of receiving them. Correct form is usually to reply to the invitation in the same way it was sent – so if your friend invites you by text, a text message back with your response is acceptable. 2. Attend . If you say you are going – go! Even if you get a better offer you can’t back out. For most social parties you allow 10-15 minutes before showing up. Thus, if the invitation says 7.30pm, you arrive at 7.40ish. 3. Bring something . Unless it is a very formal affair then it is now customary to bring a ‘hostess gift’ (still called that if it’s a single man hosting you). Never bring flowers that will need to be stuck in water upon arrival – you’re just turning up with a job for your hosts. 4. Mingle . Yes, there may well be guests you don’t find that stimulating, or ones who you could speak to all evening, but the objective at parties is to mix with as many people as possible. For dinners this is trickier as you are static for most of it, but for drinks or cocktail parties ensure you spend roughly no more than 10-12 minutes with as many guests as possible. 5. Say thank you . For good friends sending a text once you get home safely and to say a quick thank you is a nice touch, but is no substitute for something a little nicer and more tangible through the post. Send your thank you letter or card within 36 hours of the party’s end. Time-keeping . As we have seen, people can play fast and loose with the arrival time but so many people are oblivious to the ‘10 minutes late’ rule - where you arrive just after the stated event time to give your host a bit of breathing time. When I explain this to those who don’t understand it, they are unfailingly not hosts themselves, and therefore see no need for guests to give that safe breathing space to their hosts. A few weeks ago, 65 per cent of the guest list swanned into a housewarming a whole two hours late! This only served in making those who had gone to the effort to arrive on cue feel like they’d now be rude to leave. Maybe this is the new form and it’s just me? If you say you’re going to something you go for all of it, or none at all. Mr Nash found a brown envelope containing this invoice in his son's school bag . Snubbing . As we have seen today with the party peril in Plymouth, sometimes we do get a better invitation to something or our plans and family circumstances change. But if we have already committed, then it is tough cheese and well done to the host for being organised and getting their invitations out first. If you’ve said you’re going… guess what… you’re going! Only work or fatal illnesses are valid excuses in my book. And in those rare cases you send flowers and/or a hand-written missive to apologise. If two drinks parties are close by then it may be possible to attend both. Even if it is just showing your face to ‘make a cameo appearance’. An acquaintance of mine committed to a party two months ago and failed to show, with no explanation sent to our host (a mutual friend). The morning after the night before, on Facebook, a picture of her appeared at a bar with her friends… If you are going to be so rude as to snub, have a bit of intelligence about it. As a host, I worry about the details and how someone’s actions, whether giving or receiving the hospitality, will affect others. Clearly there is currently a rather inelegant acceptability as to what counts as ‘correct form’ when it comes to modern parties. People just don’t seem to care anymore. For those who couldn’t care less, don’t bother inviting them. Spend the money and effort on those who ‘get it’ and not those who presumptuously believe they’re such good value at balls and bashes they’ll be invited to the next one.

A kind-hearted waitress who stopped to help people involved in a car accident in Connecticut was killed after after falling off a highway bridge. State police say 34-year-old Lauren Mohr, of Wallingford, had just finished a shift at Barcelona Restaurant in New Haven at around 12.30am when she witnessed a hit-and-run crash on nortbound Interstate 91 and pulled over to help the victims. She was waiting for police to arrive on the scene when she allegedly jumped over a concrete wall in an attempt to evade an oncoming car and fell 40 feet from an overpass bridge to her death. She was rushed to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later. A Quinnipiac University spokesman said Mohr was a temporary admissions aide at that school, where her stepmother, Joan Mohr, was the vice president of admissions. 'Lauren was courageous and optimistic, and had faced a lot of challenges in her life, which made her a caring and wise person. Friends and family would seek her advice and she will be remembered as our hero,' Lauren's father Lawrence Mohr, said in a statement issued by the university. One of Mohr's co-workers at Barcelona said he wasn't at all surprised that she would have pulled over to help the crash victims. Crash scene: Mohr allegedly was trying to dodge an on-coming car when she jumped over the side of a concrete wall and fell 40 feet from this overpass bridge to her death . 'She was just a kind soul and that's just the way she lived her life,' Bart Maldonado told WFSB. 'That's just the way she was.' Before working at Quinnipiac and Barcelona, Mohr served for four years in the US Air Force and was trained as a medical technician. She was also an organ donor. She recently received her associate's degree in social work and planned to continue her studies in the field next fall at Southern Connecticut State University. None of the five people in the two cars involved in the accident was injured. One of the drivers, . Elvin Ayala, 33, has been identified as the driver of the 2005 Infiniti G35 that plowed into the back of Elizabeth Kranz's Mercedes-Benz on I-91 and then fled the scene, reported NBC Connecticut. The driver later turned himself in to police and was charged with operating a vehicle with a suspended license and following too closely. Police said he will not be charged in connection with Mohr’s death. Selfless: Mohr, an Air Force veteran and trained medical technician, was remembered by family and friends as a kind-hearted woman who was studying to become a social worker . Lynn Bushnell, vice president for public affairs at Quinnipiac University, said the college community was saddened to learn of Mohr's death. 'The university would like to extend its sincerest condolences to the Mohr family and ask that you continue to keep Lauren's family and her many friends in your thoughts and prayers,' she said. The 34-year-old woman leaves behind her husband, Nate, her parents and stepmother, sister Arwen, as well as her beloved cat, Becky."

The student who goes by the stage name Belle Knox appeared on Piers Morgan Live Thursday night after taking a brief break from school to deal with the backlash on campus. 'I'm not being exploited, I love what I'm doing and I'm safe,' Knox, a women's studies major, said. Scroll down for video . Empowered: Belle Knox has been doing the rounds of cable news shows and writing op-eds about porn and feminism . Financial burden: Knox says she first starting working in the adult film industry to pay her $47,000 in tuition . Knox made headlines last month when fellow freshman Thomas Bagley spilled her secret at a fraternity event. After that the news spread like wildfire on the North Carolina campus and Knox says it got to the point where she felt unsafe, so the university let her take a few days off classes. 'They've been very supportive of me. We're working really hard to make sure that I'm safe ,' she said. In her CNN interview, Knox went into more detail about how she got into the porn industry, while also voicing some of her regrets. She says she decided to start starring in adult films when she received her financial aid package for Duke and found out she was going to need to pay about $47,000 a year. 'The financial aid that I was given to pay for my tuition was insufficient and just really an enormous financial burden on my family,' she said. Revealed: The Duke University student was outed as a porn star when a fellow freshman spilled the beans at a fraternity event last month . On her side: Knox says she's faced some hostility on campus - mostly from other girls - but that most people have been supportive . Knox, who has two other siblings, decided to start shooting adult films since the pay was good and didn't require a huge time commitment. 'I set my own schedule,' she said, adding that she makes $1,200 a scene. 'I don't have to worry about not getting sleep or not doing my work because I'm working three jobs.' But she also says she hid her part-time job from her parents, which is something she now regrets. 'I regret not telling my family from the get-go. I think that was a really big mistake,' Knox said. Knox wouldn't go into detail about how her family has reacted to the news, but says she's not worried her porn work will come between them. Joy: Knox previously said that her experience in porn has brought her 'unimaginable joy' 'My family loved me six months ago when I wasn't a porn star, so I don't know what would make them not love me now,' she said. Knox even went so far as to say that if her own future daughter wanted to go into porn, she would support her. 'I would want my daughter to make an informed decision about her career and I think it's absolutely her choice,' she said. But Knox admits that the news of her porn career has made life on campus difficult. Bullied: Knox says people have set up fake Twitter accounts and used them to harass her . Threats: Knox says both she and her family have received threats since her identity was revealed . She says she can't go out like she used to anymore because fellow students are hostile to her - especially other girls. However, . Knox says the majority of campus is on her side and supportive. She . estimated that 70 per cent of her fellow students, especially the LGBTQ . community, were behind her while the other 30 per cent of 'frat guys' and girls seem to 'hate' her . Also on the show, Morgan asked how Knox came up with her stage name. She . says the first name is for the princess in the Beauty and the Beast, as . well as the character Belle de Jour from British television drama . 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl'. She . takes her last name from Amanda Knox, the infamous 26-year-old . suspected of sexually assaulting and then murdering her British roommate . while studying abroad in Italy in 2007.

Just over a year since she made her debut appearance at the State Opening of Parliament, her repeat visit today will be seen as a victory for Prince Charles who has long wanted his wife to play a greater role in royal life. And it seems his work has paid off after a radiant Camilla drew admiring glances and loud cheers from the crowds outside the Palace of Westminster as she made her way inside on her husband's arm. Scroll down for video . Listening in: The Duchess of Cornwall and the Prince of Wales listened intently as the Queen made the traditional Queen's speech to the House of Lords .

The past month has been a difficult one for Camilla, who is still struggling to come to terms with the sudden death of her brother Mark Shand at the end of April. But instead of retreating to her country home, the Duchess has thrown herself into royal duties and yesterday joined the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh for a garden party at Buckingham Palace. Today, glamorous in a white gown, traditional sash and a diamond tiara, the Duchess looked every inch the princess, although even she couldn't eclipse the Queen, who wore the magnificent Imperial State Crown as she made her address to Parliament. With 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and five rubies, the crown, which was made for the coronation of George VI in 1937, is one of the most important of the Crown Jewels. Based on an earlier version made for Queen Victoria, the crown also boasts several famous jewels, among them King Edward's Sapphire which was taken from a ring belonging to the Anglo-Saxon king and builder of the first Westminster Abbey, Edward the Confessor.

The most important of all the Queen's crowns, the current Imperial State Crown was made in 1937 and boasts 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and five rubies. Although there has been an Imperial State Crown since the 15th century, there have been several different versions with the current one based on Queen Victoria's. Among the jewels is the sapphire of King Edward the Confessor, the Anglo-Saxon king who founded Westminster Abbey. Joining the Queen and Camilla at the Houses of Parliament were Prince Charles, who sported a traditional military uniform, and a cheerful-looking Duke of Edinburgh. The royal party arrived after the traditional ceremonial procession from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster, which also saw the debut of the new Diamond Jubilee State Coach. The vehicle, which contains fragments from Henry VIII's doomed battleship, the Mary Rose, a bullet from the Battle of Waterloo and a piece of Newton's apple tree, boasts diamond doorhandles and a hidden 'Queen cam' which offers a 360 degree view of the crowds. Among the other historical mementos incorporated into the coach are slivers from Scott’s Antarctic sled, a part of Hut Six, which was one of several used at codebreaking centre Bletchley Park, and a piece of Scotland’s Stone of Destiny, upon which monarchs are traditionally crowned. The state opening of Parliament marks the start of a busy few days for the Queen, who tomorrow will travel to France for a state visit. Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, the monarch will travel to Paris by Eurostar and will be welcomed by French president François Hollande at the Arc de Triomphe. Later, the Queen will travel to the Elysée Palace for meetings with France's socialist head of state ahead of a garden party at the British Ambassador's residence in Paris. The following day, the Queen will join the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in Normandy for a series of visits commemorating the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, before returning to the Elysée Palace for a state dinner.

The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is part of the herpes family and can be sexually-transmitted. It can also be spread via coughs and sneezes and it is estimated around half of all adults have been infected. The virus tends to remain dormant and most people don't exhibit any symptoms, but if they do they are similar to flu. Around half of people in the UK are thought to be infected with the Cytomegalovirus . However, new research from Leiden University and the University of Tubingen in Germany suggests it is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes in the elderly. They found adults aged 85 and over who were infected with cytomegalovirus were about twice as likely to have type 2 diabetes compared with those not infected. The team analysed information from more than 500 elderly adults in the Netherlands. Around 80 per cent were infected with cytomegalovirus and 15 per cent had type 2 diabetes. While 17 percent of those infected with cytomegalovirus had type 2 diabetes, only 7.9 per cent of those without the virus had the condition. People with type 2 diabetes tend to have their blood glucose levels checked every two to six months . Obesity and aging are known to be associated with insulin resistance, one of the first signs of type 2 diabetes. However, only a third of these people go on to develop the condition. Those who develop type 2 diabetes usually have raised levels of biological markers for inflammation such . as larger numbers of active white blood cells. The researchers found chronic infections including CMV can 'stress' the immune system. They suggested the virus could be acting directly on pancreatic cells or indirectly by causing the immune system to attack the pancreas. The study appears in BioMed Central's open access journal Immunity and Ageing."

With no dress, no flowers, and watched by only a small crowd of family and friends, Brian Osborne, 34, wed fiancee Megan Hunley today on the front lawn of their scorched house in Ledyard, Conn. The couple were forced to flee the burning building only last Monday, leaving everything behind, including an engagement ring Brian had been planning to give to Megan. A couple who fled a house fire with nothing but the clothes on their backs a week ago have married outside their burned house after firemen found their engagement ring in the ashes . Brain Osborne had been planning to propose to girlfriend Megan Hunley, and had the ring hidden in their bedroom, but was forced to flee without it when the fire started . Brian thought the ring had been burned with the rest of his possessions, but after the blaze was put out he asked a firefighter to go back in and look for it just in case. In an upstairs bedroom, underneath a pile of rubble, the fireman found a charred box and when he opened it, saw that the ring had escaped unharmed. He carried it back outside to Brian who proposed on the spot, and now, just over a week later, the couple are happily married. Wearing nothing but the clothes they escaped the blaze in, Megan and Brian married, and say they want the occasion to act as a reminder that all they need is each other. Speaking to WSFB, Megan said: 'I wouldn't want it any other way. All that other stuff is materialistic. I don't think we ever imagined this, I don't think anyone ever does.' After the blaze was extinguished Brian asked a firefighter to go back in and look for the ring, and to his amazement, the man found it unharmed in the bedroom . When the fireman brought the ring back out Brian proposed on the spot, and the couple married outside the house as a reminder that all they need is each other . Referring to the moment the ring emerged from the fire, she added: 'I cried. It was just an amazing moment because you think, why, of everything, why did this make it?' The couple were joined on their front lawn by 40 guests, including Osborne’s two children who were also in the house at the time of the blaze, but managed to escape unharmed. Several members of the Gales Ferry Volunteer Fire Company were also invited. Brain said: 'It's a great way to start over. It's all symbolic, we look at everything we've been through and think, why waste it, you never know what's next.'"

Sadly for Steve Cotterill, though, they will have to wait a while longer to underline their progress by taking the scalp of a big team. For large swathes of this match, it looked possible. West Ham were often desperately poor and Bristol City were frequently exciting. They attacked with pace and without fear; they created chances and did everything except take them. Twice Matt Smith won headers within a dangerous range and twice he beat Adrian in West Ham’s goal. Twice, there was a man waiting on the line to clear. That final yard was the hurdle and curse for a club who only have three quarters of a stadium, but dream big and sit second in League One. West Ham striker Diafra Sakho celebrate putting Sam Allardyce's side into a 1-0 lead against Bristol City . The Senegalese striker meets Andy Carroll's cross at the far post to send the away side into the FA Cup fifth round . Sakho salutes the travelling fans after coming off the bench and giving the Irons a crucial late lead . Sakho and Aaron Cresswell celebrate in front of the 1,006 Hammers faithful at Ashton Gate .

Booked: Nolan, Noble . Manager: Sam Allardyce 7.5 . Referee: Lee Mason 6 . Attendance: 12,682 . Player rating by Riath Al-Samarrai . ‘All we needed was that final touch,’ said Cotterill. For Sam Allardyce, there can only be relief that Diafra Sakho was fit after three weeks out and able to come off his bench to head an 81st-minute winner. Certainly any pride will need to be balanced against what was a weak performance, particularly from his midfielders. But into the draw they go and that, for this club more than some, is important. Allardyce knows his side have an opportunity in this competition in light of Saturday’s magnificent upsets – not to mention the freedom afforded by West Ham’s good league position – and it was the gist of his team talk. Allardyce said: ‘I said to the players, “Don’t be a victim. Don’t be another casualty. Be professional in what you do and if they are to beat you they have to produce something special”. It was a hard-earned victory and one we are grateful for. ‘A team in the lower divisions can, in one day, beat the most forceful team in the Premier League. Chelsea conceded four at home to Bradford. Big teams can always get knocked out. Gladly we are one of the bigger teams not crying all the way home. ‘Now it will all depend on the draw. I know it’s said that somewhere along the line you are going to get a Premier League team. But I hope we get them when we’re in the final and not before.’ Cotterill, meanwhile, tried to strike a philosophical tone but knows a chance went untaken. ‘We won’t be slitting our wrists because we got beat 1-0 by West Ham,’ he said. ‘It’s just a slight disappointment because with a bit of luck we might have knocked them out. ‘I think the results on Saturday made it more difficult for us. I am not saying West Ham wouldn’t have been focused but if they weren’t then those results would have made them more focused. ‘They picked a good, strong, experienced team.’ Indeed, Allardyce made only one change to the side that crushed Hull in the Premier League last weekend, with Winston Reid stepping in for James Collins, who has a back problem. It was about as strong a side as West Ham could field; it was a side that spent all but the final 10 minutes of the first half struggling to draw breath. Sakho is joined by his jubilant team-mates, including Carroll, whose right-footed cross found its marker . Mark Noble of heads off the line to deny Smith as West Ham came under pressure during the early stages at Ashton Gate .

George Saville shows no fear as he reach for the ball with a high boot against Hammers midfielder Kevin Nolan . Luke Freeman (right) looks to shield the ball from James Tomkins during a difficult first half for the Hammers . Our brilliant Match Zone service shows that Sakho's far post header came after good work down the right from Carroll . With an extra man in the middle, City were winning the battle for midfield and in Luke Freeman, once of Arsenal but more recently Stevenage, they had a man who was able to take control. In Alex Song, West Ham had a top-class midfielder on loan from Barcelona who seemingly couldn’t pass to a team-mate. Combined, it meant City were on top for most of the half, happy to counter or dictate. The first warning was sounded after six minutes when Smith’s header beat Adrian and was cleared by Mark Noble. Smith then sent a second header past the keeper, only to be brilliantly cleared by Andy Carroll. West Ham looked in desperate trouble. In one challenge, Emmanuel-Thomas floored Winston Reid – the clichés about lower league sides making life uncomfortable for the big boys were also acted out. Allardyce responded by hooking off Song and Enner Valencia for Morgan Amalfitano and Sakho shortly after the restart and West Ham gradually held more possession. But even then there was no evidence that one side is almost two divisions to the north of the other, Smith underlying the point by heading over. But then Sakho took hold of this game. In the space of two minutes he was blocked by Aden Flint and also grazed the bar after showing some delightful skill on his way to goal. When Carroll hooked over a cross 10 minutes from time Sakho jumped up and won the game, even if Smith was given the opportunity to miss yet another header. ‘We were never at our very best but we did enough to get through to the next round,’Allardyce said. In the context of a remarkable weekend, that will have to do. Smith thought he had given Bristol a deserved lead after sending his header towards goal only to see it cleared by Carroll .

The dodgy Disney items, including counterfeit dolls, umbrellas, watches, backpacks and blankets, were seized at a toy shop last week. Shockingly, fancy dress costumes and pyjamas do not conform to 'flammability' standards and are likely to catch fire. The haul comes just weeks ago Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman's eight-year-old daughter suffered serious burns following a horrific Halloween accident. Some of the fake Frozen goods seized by Nottinghamshire County Council's Trading Standards team which include children's pyjamas, dolls, fancy-dress costumes, umbrellas, watches, backpacks and blankets . Matilda Thykier's witch costume was set alight by a candle on the doorstep of a house while she was out trick or treating on Friday 31. She was taken to hospital for treatment of severe burns and Zoe Ball stepped in to host Strictly Come Dancing for several weeks after the incident as Ms Winkleman refused to leave her daughter's side. Meanwhile hooded tops were found to have lethal cords which were deemed a strangulation risk. Trading Standards officers from Nottinghamshire County Council seized the fake merchandise from a toy shop in Newark, Notts., during a raid last Tuesday (25/11). Councillor Alice Grice, vice-chair of the council's community safety committee, said: 'Official Frozen merchandise is amongst this year's 'must-have' Christmas presents for children - but unfortunately, counterfeiters who want to cash-in on the craze are all too aware. 'With the high demand for official merchandise, many parents are struggling to find items for sale and may be tempted to buy counterfeit versions. 'However, by doing so parents might be unwittingly putting their child in serious danger. 'Many cheap toys and goods from outside the European Union are often badly-made and in many cases, dangerous. 'We would advise parents to be especially wary when buying items like this from individuals or non-reputable companies on online auction or social media sites.' It is suspected that a number of the items do not conform to EU safety regulations, including pyjamas and fancy-dress costumes that are unlikely to meet flammability guidelines . The Trading Standards team had received a tip-off from a concerned member of the public about the counterfeit haul at a Newark toy shop . The seizure follows warnings by parents last week about counterfeit 'snap' bracelets which were made out of measuring tape and sheets of metal and had fake Frozen branding on. Sales of Frozen toys are set to hit an all-time high, outstripping the Buzz Lightyear dolls that set a record after Toy Story was released. The storyline is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Snow Queen and tells how a fearless princess sets off on an epic journey alongside a rugged iceman, his loyal pet reindeer and a snowman to find her sister, Anna, who has become trapped in a land of eternal winter. The film overtook Toy Story 3 to become the biggest grossing animated film of all time earlier this year with ticket sales of more than £1billion, while the song ‘Let it Go’ won an Oscar and became a social media phenomenon. The demand for Frozen merchandise is high. With the interactive Frozen Snow Glow Elsa who sings, speaks and lights up, with an official price of £34.99, tipped to be the most in demand toy this Christmas, stores such as Tesco, Toys r Us and Argos, are struggling to keep up. Some list the item as unavailable while any new stock is being snapped up as soon as it arrives on shelves. The demand for Frozen merchandise saw another haul of fake toys seized by trading standards officers last week. The haul of 1,960 knock off toys were seized at the Port of Dover in Kent - including 426 Frozen character dolls from the blockbuster Disney film,was the biggest ever seized."

"value": "Sepp Blatter, the under-fire FIFA president, has shrugged off the increasing pressure to act over allegations of corruption around the bidding process that enabled Qatar to secure the 2022 World Cup. Despite further revelations of bribery claims surrounding the selection of Qatar — and Russia for the 2018 tournament — Blatter stuck to FIFA’s party line yesterday. He took to Twitter to say simply: ‘Never ignoring media reports on ethics allegations in football. But let the Ethics Committee work!’ Under fire: Blatter (right) has been criticised over the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar . This was a reference to the inquiry already being carried out by FIFA’s own investigator, New York lawyer Michael Garcia, who is set to complete his report on Monday. Against the backdrop of public statements of concern from Sony, Visa and adidas, who pay millions to sponsor the World Cup, 78-year-old Blatter will attempt to carry on regardless, particularly as the 2014 World Cup is due to begin here on Thursday and in the week when FIFA will also stage their annual congress in Sao Paulo. While Blatter will face more calls this week to order a new vote he is due to deliver his address to congress on Tuesday. The response from the three main sponsors, who are calling for a thorough investigation, follows yet more revelations in The Sunday Times, with this week’s evidence from a cache of millions of documents alleging a more direct link between the disgraced former FIFA vice-president, Mohamed bin Hammam, and the Qatar bid team. This comes after Qatar officials insisted that bin Hammam was working independently of the bid, with any payments he might have made to FIFA officials designed only to secure support in his attempt to usurp Blatter as FIFA president. Challenge: Blatter is expected to seek a fifth term as president though Michel Platini may contest the election . In Danger: Sony is one of FIFA's key sponsors, and have called for a 'thorough investigation' In a statement yesterday adidas followed Sony in voicing concerns. ‘We are confident that the matter is being dealt with as a priority,’ said the German sportswear brand, their current sponsorship deal with FIFA due to run until 2030. ‘Adidas enjoys a long-term and successful partnership with FIFA that we are looking forward to continue. Having said that, the negative tenor of the public debate around FIFA at the moment is neither good for football nor for FIFA and its partners.’ By then Sony had already called for a ‘thorough investigation’ into the bribery claims, while Visa said it was monitoring the progress of the Garcia investigation. ‘We expect FIFA will take the appropriate actions to respond to the report and its recommendations,’ it said in a statement. Sony said: ‘As a FIFA partner, we expect these allegations to be investigated appropriately. We continue to expect FIFA to adhere to its principles of integrity, ethics and fair play across all aspects of its operations.’ It is certainly unusual for FIFA’s sponsors to break ranks. Adidas have been a sponsor since 1970, after all. But there are echoes of the Salt Lake City winter Olympics scandal here, given it was only when the major sponsors began to turn that the full extent of the corruption was revealed. While FIFA earned around £800million last year alone through the sale of broadcasting rights and sponsorship, Sony, adidas and Visa are among the six sponsors who collectively paid more than £100m in 2013. At this stage the airline Emirates, South Korean car giant Hyundai/Kia and Coca-Cola remain silent on these allegations of corruption. But the latest allegations have certainly raised the stakes with claims that bin Hammam, already banned for life by FIFA, brokered meetings between Qatari officials and national governments to discuss bilateral trade deals. In Qatar, they insist they remain confident they will not be stripped of the 2022 World Cup. The response by the Qatar Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy came shortly after Sony spoke out. Decision time: New York lawyer Michael Garcia will finish his investigation into the World Cup bids on Monday . A statement from Qatar said: ‘There is an ongoing investigation into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bid process, with which we have fully co-operated. Consistent with FIFA’s rules we have been asked to refrain from commenting on the investigation and we will comply with that request. ‘Qatar has won the bid on its merits and we are confident that at the end of the appropriate process, the award of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar will stand.’ Here in Sao Paulo the only positive was the progress that is being made at the Arena de Sao Paulo. There were concerns that the 61,000-seater stadium would not be completed in time and even yesterday workmen were still racing to put the finishing touches to the ground ahead of Thursday’s opening encounter between Brazil and Croatia. But inside it looked complete and last night they hosted a junior match and ran through an opening ceremony rehearsal. That the £180m stadium is situated so close to where people are living in abject poverty, in the favellas that dominate this area, could yet present more problems for the organisers this week. Even if a strike among the underground rail network workers appears to have been averted. Right now, though, the greater concern for FIFA surrounds the staging the two tournaments that follow this one."

Local sources said Rauf, a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner, had set up his base in Helmand province and was offering good wages to anyone willing to fight for the Islamic State. Spreading state: Kashmiri protesters hold up a flag of the Islamic State during a demonstration against Israeli killings in Gaza in this July 2014 file photo. There is now an Islamic State group operating in Afghanistan . General Mahmood Khan, the deputy commander of the Afghan army's 215 Corps, said residents of a number of districts in Helmand have said Rauf's representatives are fanning out to recruit people. 'A number of tribal leaders, jihadi commanders and some ulema (religious council members) and other people have contacted me to tell me that Mullah Rauf had contacted them and invited them to join him,' Gen Khan said. But he said the Taliban, which is active across Helmand, has warned people not to contact Rauf. David Cameron has promised to lobby Barack Obama for the release of the last British resident held at Guantanamo Bay when he visits Washington this week, the detainee's lawyer said. Shaker Aamer, a Saudi who is married to a Briton, has not been charged with any crime and was cleared for release in 2007 from the U.S. naval base in Cuba. All British nationals and citizens have been released from the detention camp. Obama has pledged to close Guantanamo, opened in 2002 to house suspected militants, but faces obstacles from Congress. According to rights group Amnesty International, Aamer moved to Britain in 1996 and was in Afghanistan doing voluntary work for an Islamic charity when he was captured by Afghan Northern Alliance forces in 2001 and handed to the U.S. military. Aamer's lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith, said Mr Cameron had written to him in the last week to say he would raise the case with Obama. Mr Stafford Smith said that was welcome but not enough. 'He has said this before and little has come of it. Rather than just raising Shaker's case, Mr Cameron must come back from Washington with a concrete date for Shaker's return home to London,' said Stafford Smith, director of the charity Reprieve. 'People are saying that he has raised black flags and even has tried to bring down white Taliban flags in some areas,' said Saifullah Sanginwal, a tribal leader in Sangin district, where British troops once patrolled. 'There are reports that 19 or 20 people have been killed' in fighting between the Taliban and the IS group, he added. Sulaiman Shah, who was Sangin district governor until last month, told the Times that Rauf was believed to be moving back and forth to Iraq and Syria via Iran. 'He is telling people that his leader is in Iraq and that they have some activities in some parts of Afghanistan,' Mr Shah said. Helmand provincial council head Haji Mohammad Karim Atal told the Times that Rauf's Islamic State cell was offering wages of $500 (£330) a month to tempt Taliban fighters to switch sides. Tensions between the established militant group and the new pretender had reportedly turned deadly on at least one occasion, including a week ago when five or six people were killed when a gunfight broke out between Rauf's followers and those of Mullah Ahmad Shah, the Taliban commander in northern Helmand. The violence comes less than three months after the withdrawal of British combat troops from the country, where they had been waging war against the Taliban for 13 years. A total of 453 British forces personnel or MoD civilians died while serving in Afghanistan since the start of operations in October 2001. More than 2,200 members of the U.S. military have died. Estimates of the number of Taliban fighters killed are sketchy, but range from 25,000 to 40,000. The war also resulted in the deaths of an estimated 18,000 to 20,000 Afghan civilians. Occupation: The establishment of the Islamic State comes less than three months after the withdrawal of British combat troops from Afghanistan, where they had been waging war against the Taliban for 13 years . Rauf was a corps commander during the Taliban's 1996-2001 rule of Afghanistan, according to Amir Mohammad Akundzada, governor of Nimroz province, who says he is related to Rauf but has not seen him for almost 20 years. Both Gen Khan and Amir Akunzada said Rauf was apprehended after the fall of the Taliban in the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan and was detained for years at Guantanamo Bay. They suggested Rauf may have fallen out with Taliban leaders after spending time in the Pakistani city of Quetta, where Afghan officials and analysts believe senior Taliban leaders are based. A video released on Saturday purports to show militants from both Afghanistan and Pakistan pledging support to Islamic State. But Amir Akundzada said the group was not likely to gain traction with ordinary Afghans. 'People who want to fight in Afghanistan just create new names - one day they are wearing white clothes (of the Taliban) and the next day they have black clothes and call themselves Da'esh, but they are the same people,' he said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the U.S. has noted the 'rhetorical message of support' for Islamic State by some in Afghanistan. 'We continue to watch for signs that these statements could amount to something more than just rhetorical support,' she said. 'That doesn't mean it's unimportant.' Analysts say most claims of allegiance to IS in Afghanistan have been motivated by opportunism and that a new jihadist outfit would find it difficult to establish a presence where there are already long-established militant groups with tribal links. The Taliban have confined their insurgency to Afghanistan, and do not espouse the pan-Islamic model of jihad embraced by the Islamic State."

But one owner from San Francisco didn’t want to miss a week of his Rhodesian Ridgeback’s development so created this lovely time-lapse. The 23-second clip shows Greg Coffin’s dog Sophia growing from a two-month old puppy into a fully-grown three-year-old. Scroll down for video . The footage was filmed by Greg Coffin from San Francisco. It shows the development of his Rhodesian Ridgeback, Sophia as she grows from two months (pictured) to three years in just 23 seconds. This is then reversed to show Sophia shrinking back to a puppy . This is then reversed to show Sophia shrinking back to a puppy. The footage was taken by Mr Coffin, a senior art director at Digitas, every weekend, with help from his wife Amanda. It ends with outtakes that show Mrs Coffin attempting to keep Sophia still during the filming. Mr Coffin wrote on Facebook: ‘This is a pet project we've been working on for three years, that's finally completed. 'It's been amazing watch our little lady grow from a little burrito to the beautiful beast she is today.’ The time-lapse was taken by Mr Coffin, a senior art director at Digitas, every weekend, with help from his wife Amanda. It ends with outtakes that show Mrs Coffin attempting to keep Sophia (pictured at three years old) still during the filming . The fastest growth of a puppy occurs between four and six months. By the time it’s a year old, a dog's skeleton is usually fully developed, although it may continue to develop in larger breeds for the next six months to a year. In Mr Coffin's video, Sophia's rear legs are shown getting longer and larger even after this time. By three months, a puppy typically has a full set of baby teeth, which are replaced by adult teeth at around five months. It is likely the dog will begin a chewing phase at this point. Puberty typically begins at around four months old and sexual maturity can hit as early as six months. Between seven and nine months, a puppy will begin exploring more of their environment, and this can lead to a second chewing phase. The testosterone level in male puppies increases up to seven times higher than in an adult dog by the time it reaches 10 months, which can cause a growth spurt. This falls to a normal level by 18 months. Doggy paddle is one of the first strokes children develop when learning to swim, but despite inspiring the name, research has discovered dogs don’t paddle in water at all. Instead, they perform a more complex cycle of movements (pictured) underwater to maximise their speed through the waves and reduce drag . Doggy paddle is one of the first strokes children develop when learning to swim, but despite inspiring the name, research has discovered dogs don’t paddle in water at all. Instead, they perform a more complex cycle of leg movements underwater designed specifically to maximise their speed through the waves and reduce drag. Professor Frank Fish from West Chester University used underwater cameras to film eight dogs, across six different breeds, as they swam across a pool, . When a dog trots on land, their front paw rises and falls in time with the hind paw on the opposite side. For example, the left front paw will rise and fall with right hind paw. However, when a dog runs on land, in order to increase its speed, the legs move in a more complex, cyclical way. The left hind paw lands first, followed by its left front paw, right hind paw and right front paw in sequence. As the dog runs further, the legs rise in the same pattern."

Noe Iniguez, 36, from Los Angeles, was jailed for posting topless photographs of his ex on her work's Facebook, along with a message in which he described her as a 'drunk' and a 'slut'. Iniquez, who was also prosecuted for ignoring two restraining orders, has been ordered to attend domestic violence counselling. Noe Iniguez, 36, from Los Angeles, was jailed for posting topless photographs of his ex on her work's Facebook . City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said in a statement: 'Iniguez, using an alias, allegedly began posting derogatory comments about his ex-girlfriend on her employer's Facebook page. In March, 2014. Iniguez allegedly posted a topless photograph of the victim on her employer's Facebook page which was accompanied by a message that called the victim a 'drunk' and a 'slut' and encouraged her firing from the company.' Iniquez had been in a four-year relationship with the victim, but prosecutors said after they split up he harassed her and sent her abusive text messages, LA Weekly reported. Revenge porn is the act of publishing sexually explicit pictures of former partners with the aim of causing them emotional distress. City Attorney Mike Feuer said: 'California's new revenge porn law gives prosecutors a valuable tool to protect victims whose lives and reputations have been upended by a person they once trusted. This conviction sends a strong message that this type of malicious behavior will not be tolerated.' Meanwhile, a federal judge recently put a new Arizona law against 'revenge porn' on hold after civil rights groups sued over constitutional grounds. Abuse: Iniquez posted a message on the Facebook page of his ex's employer, calling her a 'drunk' and a 'slut' The order from U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton came as part of an agreement between the Arizona attorney general's office and the groups that sued. The order blocks enforcement of the law to allow the Legislature time to work on changes. Rep. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, crafted the bill to bar 'revenge porn' from being posted online by jilted lovers. The American Civil Liberties Union sued in September, saying the law is so broadly written it makes anyone distributing or displaying a nude image without explicit permission guilty of a felony. The group said that violates the 1st Amendment. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix on behalf of several bookstores and publishing associations, the owner of the Village Voice and 12 other alternative newsweeklies nationwide, and the National Press Photographers Association. Gov. Jan Brewer signed House Bill 2515 into law in April after it unanimously passed the Senate and House. Mesnard said Wednesday he'll work on changes but isn't sure they'll satisfy the ACLU. 'Given my willingness to do that, it made sense to say, well let's see if we can get an agreement to hold off on the bill for now and make some changes in the next session,' Mesnard said. 'We may end up right back where we are now because some of the issues the ACLU brought up, I don't think they'll ever be satisfied.' David Horowitz, executive director of the Media Coalition, whose members include publishers, librarians and booksellers, said the current law would have a chilling effect on free speech. 'The range of material that this law could bring in was hugely overbroad, it went far beyond anything you would think of as sort of malicious invasion of privacy.' Horowitz said. The court order put the ACLU's request for a preliminary injunction on hold until the Legislature passes and the governor signs a new version of the bill, or until the Legislature adjourns in late spring. If no new version is passed, Horowitz said the groups objecting to the law will move to get it blocked permanently."

The beautiful, blonde model was profiled on ESPN and has since seen a surge in her online following to rival that of her NFL bound beau. While the talented athlete gets a not so shabby 225,000 results when searched on Google, his buxom girlfriend's name returns over 6 million. Scroll down for video . Gorgeous: Meet Lindsey Duke, the newest addition to a storied history of beautiful and widely adored girlfriends of top NFL prospects . Cute couple: iDuke is the high school sweetheart and longtime girlfriend of University of Central Florida star quarterback Blake Bortles (left) Curiosity and outright envy surrounding the couple, often seen beaming arm-in-arm in Twitter and Instagram pics, has reached a fever pitch since Bortles' Fiest Bowl victory on Wednesday. Leading up to that victory, ESPN reporter Gene Wojciechowski told Bortles' coach George O'Leary about the discrepancy in the couple's internet fame. 'I would hope as a head coach that the numbers would be reversed,' O'Leary said, 'but obviously you haven’t seen his girlfriend. She deserves six million Googles.' Hot prospects: Bortles is rumored to be a top 10 pick for May's NFL draft despite being a junior . Despite his talent, a Google search of the relatively under-the-radar Bortles retrieves only about 225,000 results . More popular: Meanwhile, his girlfriend's name gets around 6 million results when Googled . Social butterfly: Duke has a habit of frequently posting pictures of herself and her friends in bikinis to Instagram and Twitter, helping pave her path to success . Duke has helped pave her own way to fame with constant bikini-clad updates to her Twitter and Instagram feeds. Off the field as well as on, Bortles is one lucky guy and doesn't seem particulary fazed by his girlfriend's popularity. 'Apparently, she is more of a household name than I am,' Bortles told ESPN. 'She’s more famous than me and there’s nothing I can do about that.' He's had time to get used to her appeal. They've been a couple since high school, where they attended prom together, and then attended the same university. Duke is set to graduate this year, which has many wondering if she'll be greeted with the same offers of modeling and television show gigs as the most beloved college football girlfriend of 2013 Katherine Webb. Duke's popularity places her in league with Katherine Webb, the former Miss Alabama and girlfriend of 2013 draft favorite A.J. McCarron who rose to fame after being spotted in the stands by an ESPN cameraman . Webb, who was Miss Alabama 2012, was basically spotted in the stands by ESPN this time last year as she cheered on her boyfriend of one month A.J. McCarron. The promising Alabama quarterback's spotlight quickly swung to Webb, who has since appeared in television commercials, a reality televsion series, and on the computer screens of a huge chunk of the American male populace. While Webb's rise to fame came quickly and almost out of nowhere, she and Duke both have another football beauty forebearer to thank for their success. In 2012, the breakout female star of the NFL draft was Lauren Tannehill. Featured on ESPN's draft coverage that year, the aspiring model and wife of the Miami Dolphin's pick Ryan Tannehill was a major hit, setting social networking sites abuzz with complimentary tweets. In the first ten minutes after Texas A&M quarterback Tannehill was picked with the eighth overall selection, the cardiology assistant began trending on Twitter and picked up 3,000 followers overnight, a 350 percent increase on the day before. Long line of ladies: Both women owe a debt of gratitude to Lauren Tannehill, the stunning blonde wife of 2012 draft favorite and current Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill who became a household name alongside her husband ."

Thomas Bagley, a Phi Delta Theta pledge who is majoring in computer science and mathematics, recognized Knox after watching her performance on an X-rated website. However, Bagley has not emerged from the saga unscathed, with his predilection for hardcore pornography trumpeted far and wide and his decision to out Knox gaining him almost as many detractors as the teen pornstar. Scroll down for video . Secret sharer: Thomas Bagley says he regrets the decision to out Belle Knox to his fraternity brothers . Joy: Knox previously said that her experience in porn has brought her 'unimaginable joy' One such person is Mike Kulich, the . head of Monarchy Distribution, a pornography distribution company. '[If] he can shame girls for doing porn, I can shame him for watching it,' he said recently, reports The Daily Dot. Kulich, . whose work includes such award-winning films as 'Asses for the Masses' and 'Cray Cray Vajayjay,' has made a habit of offering big bucks to . controversial figures, including accused murderer Amanda Knox and shamed . former PR exec Justine Sacco, whose racist tweet saw her fired from her . job. In an open letter to . Bagley, Kulich thanked him for being such a fan of the porn industry, . estimating that he must spend $200 a week to subscribe to the site. 'I'm sure your parents are proud,' he writes, before suggesting Bagley gets good grades when he is not masturbating. Kulich then offers Bagley $10,000 'to live out (his) fantasies.' 'We will make you a celebrity because it is apparent how much you love porn and attention,' he writes. Empowered: Belle Knox has been doing the rounds of cable news shows and writing op-eds about porn and feminism . Financial burden: Knox says she first starting working in the adult film industry to pay her $47,000 in tuition . Bagley has disabled his Twitter account following the Belle Knox controversy. He told the Duke Chronicle that he now regrets his actions. 'She told me that I ruined her life,' Bagley said. 'I certainly would take it back. I would take pretty much that whole night back.' And while he is getting a taste of his own medicine, Knox has become something of a media darling, appearing on cable news shows and penning op-eds on the porn industry. Cyber attacks: Both Knox and Bagley have come in for bullying from trolls . Disengaged: Bagley has disabled his Twitter account after the media storm that came when he outed Belle Knox . On Thursday night she told CNN's Piers Morgan that she hasn't let the abuse and harassment she received after Bagley blew her cover get to her. 'I think 80 per cent of the world’s traffic on the Internet is pornography,' she said. 'And I think that probably every single person at some point in their life has watched pornography. 'So, I think it’s extremely hypocritical that the same society that consumes me is also condemning me.' Knox made headlines last month when Bagley spilled her secret at a fraternity event. After that the news spread like wildfire on the North Carolina campus and Knox says it got to the point where she felt unsafe, so the university let her take a few days off classes. Revealed: The Duke University student was outed as a porn star when a fellow freshman spilled the beans at a fraternity event last month . On her side: Knox says she's faced some hostility on campus - mostly from other girls - but that most people have been supportive . 'They've been very supportive of me. We're working really hard to make sure that I'm safe ,' she said. In . her CNN interview, Knox went into more detail about how she got into . the porn industry, while also voicing some of her regrets. She . says she decided to start starring in adult films when she received her . financial aid package for Duke and found out she was going to need to . pay about $47,000 a year. 'The . financial aid that I was given to pay for my tuition was insufficient . and just really an enormous financial burden on my family,' she said. Knox, who has two other siblings, decided to start shooting adult films since the pay was good and didn't require a huge time commitment. 'I set my own schedule,' she said, adding that she makes $1,200 a scene. 'I don't have to worry about not getting sleep or not doing my work because I'm working three jobs.' But she also says she hid her part-time job from her parents, which is something she now regrets. 'I regret not telling my family from the get-go. I think that was a really big mistake,' Knox said. Knox wouldn't go into detail about how her family has reacted to the news, but says she's not worried her porn work will come between them. 'My family loved me six months ago when I wasn't a porn star, so I don't know what would make them not love me now,' she said. Knox even went so far as to say that if her own future daughter wanted to go into porn, she would support her. 'I would want my daughter to make an informed decision about her career and I think it's absolutely her choice,' she said. But Knox admits that the news of her porn career has made life on campus difficult. Bullied: Knox says people have set up fake Twitter accounts and used them to harass her . Threats: Knox says both she and her family have received threats since her identity was revealed . She says she can't go out like she used to anymore because fellow students are hostile to her - especially other girls. However, . Knox says the majority of campus is on her side and supportive. She . estimated that 70 per cent of her fellow students, especially the LGBTQ . community, were behind her while the other 30 per cent of 'frat guys' and girls seem to 'hate' her . Also on the show, Morgan asked how Knox came up with her stage name. She . says the first name is for the princess in the Beauty and the Beast, as . well as the character Belle de Jour from British television drama . 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl'. She . takes her last name from Amanda Knox, the infamous 26-year-old . suspected of sexually assaulting and then murdering her British roommate . while studying abroad in Italy in 2007.

Diagnosed with HIV two months into her first pregnancy, the 39-year-old, from South Africa's Limpopo province, lost her eldest two children from complications caused by the disease. The reason? She was too afraid to admit to having HIV and was unable to access the drugs she needed to stop the disease from passing to her children. Brave: Johanna Satekge, 39, from South Africa's Limpopo province, was diagnosed with HIV in 2000 . Tragedy: Johanna lost two of her babies to HIV before getting antiretroviral drugs . But six years on from the death of her second child, Johanna is a happy mother of two healthy children and is now a health worker who spends her time educating others about the risks of HIV. 'I am very healthy now,' she explains, smilingly. 'I live a healthy lifestyle, look after myself and have been on anti-retrovirals for nearly a decade. 'My experiences are what makes me the person I am today. I have been through it all and have lived to tell the tale.' And Johanna really has been through it all. Healthy and well throughout her childhood and teens, her life was turned upside down when she was brutally attacked and raped aged 21. Although she didn't know it, her attacker was HIV positive and it was to be another four years before Johanna realised that she too had the virus. Growing up, she knew little about the disease beyond that it meant 'death and dying'. 'We knew that anyone who had AIDS was a walking grave,' she says. 'All the photos we saw on TV and in magazines were of bone thin people whom you could tell were on their deathbed. 'I didn't know anything except that it was a prostitute disease,' she continues. 'Any woman who was HIV-positive was regarded as promiscuous. 'Even our pastors called it a punishment from God for promiscuity.' Despite official denials, 1990s South Africa was at the centre of a growing AIDS epidemic - made worse by then president Thabo Mbeki's refusal to admit that it existed. As a result, while new infections dropped in countries like Uganda, where the government swiftly moved to counter AIDS and educate those at risk, the number of South African infections multiplied rapidly. Among them was Johanna, although with no knowledge of the disease and no idea what symptoms to look for, it wasn't until 2000 that the terrible truth was revealed. Pregnant with her first child, Johanna says she was 'so happy' until a routine blood test two months in revealed that she was HIV positive. Overwhelmed with shame and living in a community that stigmatised those with the condition, she kept it secret. 'The stigma at that time was very high and there was very little care in the clinics. 'Everyone was scared - especially in the rural areas. 'Most people with HIV would commit suicide just so they didn't have to experience all the sickness,' she continues. 'If our government had taken HIV seriously then, there would not have been so much death.' Just 14 months after Johanna's diagnosis and seven months after he was born, her son became the first person in her family to fall victim to AIDS. 'When I gave birth to a healthy baby who was not sick, I decided that I would breastfeed him myself,' she says. 'But he started getting sick at four months. I carried on, hoping he would be fine, but my baby died in my arms at seven months. Support: Johanna, who is now an AIDS worker, with her niece Lerato at her graduation . Disbelief: Former South African president Thabo Mbeki (left) refused to believe that AIDS exists while Jacob Zuma thinks a shower will protect you. As a result, AIDS has reached epidemic levels in South Africa . Programme: One leader who did respond to the crisis was Uganda's Yoweri Museveni. Cases of AIDS in his country are now falling rapidly . 'Judging by how sick he was, I knew it could only be AIDS. Losing my child was not easy, I nearly died of heartache. I cried so much that I thought I would follow him.' The death of her son gave Johanna the impetus she needed to finally seek help and in 2002, she plucked up the courage to finally tell her friends and family. 'I decided not to be silent anymore,' she says. 'It was time for someone to do something and who else if not me.' She threw herself into efforts to help other HIV positive women, working with AIDS charity Mothers2Mothers to help educate rural communities. But tragedy struck again two years later when Johanna became pregnant with her second child but once more, lost her to HIV shortly after birth. 'I got a single dose of Nevirapine [an anti-AIDS drug] and so did my baby but that was not enough,' she remembers. 'I was given one pill to take during labour but it was not enough to save her. We did get the treatment but we were among the unlucky. 'My daughter Lehlogonolo was born healthy but I soon realised that she was not growing, she was not gaining weight.' Worried, she tried to have the little girl tested but was told that the baby was too young to take a HIV test. Unwilling to give up, she asked a colleague to do a CD4 cell count - which can indicate the presence of the disease - and her worst fears were confirmed. 'She was found to be HIV positive,' says Johanna sadly. 'But by the time she was started on antiretroviral drugs, it was already too late for her. She passed on two weeks later.' A heartbroken Johanna was once more plunged into a morass of grief and recrimination. 'My child got infected and I blamed myself every day for that,' she says. Tragic: Although South Africa is making progress, for many HIV sufferers, action has come too late . Speaking out: Johanna hopes that more people will now speak out and wants to banish the stigma of HIV . 'I hated that I tried to have a child again only to experience another death. I was angry and sad all the time.' Devastated by the loss of her second child, Johanna vowed never to get pregnant again but changed her mind after finally being given access to antiretroviral drugs. Less than a year after beginning the course of medication, her viral load was so low it was virtually undetectable and later that year, her son Lefa was born - healthy and HIV negative. Four years later, a second healthy child, a daughter named Tiisetso followed and Johanna says that she couldn't be happier. 'I now have two HIV negative children and I believe I am the richest woman in the world.' Currently, 600 HIV positive babies are born every single day in sub-Saharan Africa, with many of the victims hailing from Johanna's native South Africa. She now works as a mentor mother for charity mothers2mothers, which employs HIV positive women and sends them to work alongside doctors and nurses in understaffed health centres as members of the healthcare team. In one-on-one and group sessions, mentor mothers provide health education and psycho-social support to other HIV-positive mothers, as well as providing them with the wherewithal to protect their babies from HIV infection, and keep themselves and their families healthy."

"value": "It was another entertaining weekend in the Barclays Premier League with 36 goals scored across the nine games. Eight of those goals came at St Mary’s as Southampton thrashed Sunderland, while Sergio Aguero scored all four for Manchester City as they beat Spurs 4-1. There was plenty of late drama as well as Danny Welbeck rescued a point for Arsenal against Hull in stoppage time. While across London at Loftus Road there were four goals between the 87th minute and 95th minute as Liverpool edged out QPR 3-2. Sportsmail’s reporters look back on the weekend and give their favourite moment from a memorable round of games. Lee Clayton . Everything Enner Valencia does seems to go 'boom'. Until Saturday, he was restricting his goals this season to screaming shots for club and country, but that header at Burnley; twisting, moving away from goal and then thudding it from the centre of his head was terrific. There were many crazy moments from this weekend, but allow me to enjoy fourth place and a West Ham forward who looks a real menace. And that's before we mention his free-scoring mate, Diafra Sakho. Bring on Manchester City next week, Vincent Kompany… you have been warned. Enner Valencia celebrates scoring West Ham's second goal in their 3-1 win at Burnley . Joe Bernstein . After all the melodrama of 'Tiredgate' it did make me chuckle to see Raheem Sterling skipping free like a teenager in the 95th minute of Liverpool's game against QPR to set up the winning goal. Making no judgements on Brendan vs Roy but most of us would love to be as 'burnt out' as English football's quickest 19-year-old. Raheem Sterling came through a difficult week by putting in a good performance for Liverpool at QPR . Riath Al-Samarrai . Over the past month or so Garry Monk has increasingly muttered about referees. The frustration has been rising, with his perception that Swansea don't get a fair shake from officials has intensified. On Sunday, he blew his top. He will likely be charged by the FA for his outburst against Michael Oliver, having already been patronised by Mark Hughes. But his rawness is what appeals. He says what he thinks. At some point, with fines and such like, that will be chiselled out of him. But for now it is nice to hear honest thoughts from a manager. Garry Monk blew his top at the penalty awarded to Stoke after Victor Moses (right) appeared to dive . Craig Hope . Seeing Newcastle United come up with new and imaginative ways to keep themselves in the news. Last week, having proudly installed a giant LED screen inside the stadium, the club declared that its arrival would enhance the match day experience for all fans. Well, if they meant it would afford them an extra hour in the pub then they were right. The canvas around their jazzy new screen became dislodged in the wind before the game, delaying kick-off to 4pm amid safety concerns. But owner Mike Ashley – for once – missed a trick. For while the eyes of the world were on the canvas as it flapped in the breeze, not a single Sports Direct ad appeared on the screen next to it! The new big screen at St James' Park became dislodged and delayed kick by one hour . Ian Ladyman . An early flight to Russia on Sunday means I missed the drama at Loftus Road but watching Harry Redknapp's press conference on MailOnline on Sunday night was priceless. You can see clearly see the workings of Redknapp's mind as he is telling himself: 'Don't slag off Taarabt… don't say it…whatever you do, DO NOT say that thing about him being a fat waste of space…'. Oops… too late… he said it… . Harry Redknapp hit out at Adel Taarabt's lack of fitness during his post-match press conference . Dominic King . Switching on the TV at 4.45pm and seeing Jeff Stelling saying 'Yes! That is eight!' as he tried to explain Sunderland's capitulation at Southampton. Such one-sided scorelines are associated with different eras, so when one comes along as it did at the weekend, it genuinely makes you do a double take if you have been oblivious to what has been happening minute-by-minute. The result was capped by that magnificent own goal from Santiago Vergini. Chaotic football at its best. Southampton's 8-0 win over Southampton grabbed the headlines on Saturday . Rob Draper . A moment of pathos rather than joy: the look on Harry Redknapp's face after *that* Steven Caulker own goal. After 56 years in the game, it still hurts just as much and it still matters. On one hand that gives me hope that your passion for the game can still be alive after so long. Alternatively, I despair - it never gets any better, no matter how long you watch the game. Steven Caulker's own goal was the decider in the five goal thriller at Loftus Road . Mark Alford . Loads of Arsenal 'fans' were left gagging on their half-time prawn sandwiches when Abel Hernandez scored a marvellous team goal within a minute of the restart. Hull's team of giants had beat the Gunners at their own game: intricate passing, a sublime ball for Tom Huddlestone and Hernandez beating Arsenal's only 'big lad' (Mertesacker) in the air to score. I'd mis-timed my visit to spend a penny but I did catch a brilliant exchange between two Gooners still stood beneath a TV screen… 'Is that live, John?' 'Nah, we got this one in the bag, Phil.' Abel Hernandez out jumped Per Mertesacker to score for Hull at the Emirates . Alex Kay . My team Tottenham lost on Saturday but I was pleased to see Roberto Soldado finally get a chance to start in the Premier League. Yes, he missed a penalty but he set up the goal, won the penalty and brought more to the team than Emmanuel Adebayor has all season. Some players need love and patience. Soldado links up well with Christian Eriksen, has a good footballing brain and suits the team's style. Now if they can just sort out that defence… . Roberto Soldado won (and then missed) a penalty for Spurs in their defeat at Manchester City . Matt Barlow . Oscar's free-kick was sublime but it was eclipsed by Chelsea's second at Selhurst Park: a slick and intricate passing sequence with Cesc Fabregas, bouncing passes off team-mates before applying a clinical finish. It was a sparkling gem amid a ruthless performance which left you wondering if this was the champions in action. And if this is another exceptional team being assembled by Jose Mourinho. Oscar's goal for Chelsea from a free-kick was a thing of beauty as Jose Mourinho's men won 2-1 . VIDEO Mourinho pleased with team's evolution . Mike Anstead . The handshake between Brendan Rodgers and Harry Redknapp at the final whistle at Loftus Road said it all. Rodgers puffing his cheeks out and almost apologising. Redknapp shaking his head and muttering expletives in disbelief. The last eight minutes of QPR vs Liverpool summed up the chaotic brilliance of the Premier League. The handshake between Brendan Rodgers and Redknapp summed up the madness of the Premier League . Laurie Whitwell . It's probably cruel to highlight an own goal but Santiago Vergini's spectacular effort was too funny. Jamie Pollock scoring through his own net with all the skill of Gazza while playing for Manchester City had for years been my favourite, but the way Vergini struck the ball with such sweetness, and in no danger, nudges it top. Honourable mention to Lukasz Fabianski for his comically late dive to try to keep out Jon Walters' header. One for the cameras, perhaps. Lukasz Fabianski looks dejected after he failed to keep out Jon Walters' header . Sam Cunningham . I was fortunate enough to be at St Mary's at the weekend where Santiago Vergini scored what will surely go down as the own goal of the season. Southampton and Sunderland fans were momentarily stunned into silence when the defender struck a peach of a first-time volley from the edge of the box – unfortunately for Vergini it was past his own goalkeeper Vito Mannone. It's unlikely he has ever made a sweeter connection with a ball dropping from the sky. The fact I am picking that ahead of the eight goal annihilation of Sunderland, is testament to how good (or bad) Vergini's volley was. Santiago Vergini (centre) scored a stunning own goal as Sunderland were thrashed 8-0 at Southampton . Jack Gaughan . Jose Mourinho labelled Chelsea's second goal at Palace as 'scandalous' – it really was a thing of pure beauty. Seventeen passes from one end of Selhurst Park to the other, with eight different players involved and nine touches by the eventual goalscorer Cesc Fabregas. During a game that had almost descended into a training match, the change of pace and urgency of the Blues was frightening. Fabregas gave Julian Speroni the eyes to finish, too. Cesc Fabregas rounded off an excellent team move to score his first Premier League goal for Chelsea . Phil Gradwell . The fact that Michael Oliver gave a penalty against Ryan Shawcross for wrestling down Wilfried Bony in the area. 'But if you give that, you'll have six penalties a match,' the apologists bleat. So be it, if there are six penalties a game those grappling matches at corners will soon stop. And maybe instead of grabbing opponents, defenders will actually, you know, defend corners. Ryan Shawcross (right) was correctly penalised for grappling with Wilfried Bony in the area ."

"value": "Ghazala Khan, 37, former vice-principal at a Muslim girls' college, was sacked after 'opposing rules' The vice principal of a Muslim girls' college who claimed she was sacked for opposing rules telling all pupils to wear veils during lessons has lost her claim for racial discrimination. Ghazala Khan, 37, alleged she was told she would 'go to hell' and branded a 'stupid outsider' by her boss and barred from certain assemblies at Mohiuddin International Girls College in Burnley, Lancashire. She lost her job in 2012 claiming it was because she questioned why some teachers refused to teach girls unless they wore veils across their faces. But today an employment tribunal in Manchester dismissed her claims and ruled in favour of the college. The college denied she was vice-principal and said she left the establishment after it was criticised during an inspection. It said staff had received complaints describing Mrs Khan as 'rude and bad-tempered'. The school which charges £5,500 a year for international students and £4,500 for UK and European pupils, was described as a 'Muslim Eton' for girls when plans were originally put forward in 2009. Founded in October 2010 the school has around 90 students and is run by the Birmingham-based Mohuiddin Trust under the leadership of Sheikh Hazrat Pir Alaudin Siddiqui Sahib - an Islamic scholar based in Pakistan. Mrs Khan was appointed as vice principal in 2011 but she said she clashed with the college principal after saying she and some students had some Islamic teachings they disagreed with forced upon them. She said one fellow teacher refused to speak to her, as she did not wear a veil, and she had challenged the same tutor after he ordered all his female students to wear the niqab in his lessons. Mrs Khan also said the college principal have warned of the school being 'polluted' because she had 'let a Christian in'. Mrs Khan claims she was immediately dismissed after a 'heated' debate with the school's principal Amjad Bashir (left) and Zahir Ahmed (right), a director of the Mohiuddin Trust which runs the college . Mohiuddin International Girls College, which opened its doors in October 2010, describes itself as a 'unique and friendly institution'. It was set up by the Mohiuddin Trust - a charity which aims to help those who are poor or under-privileged - under the leadership of Sheikh Hazrat Pir Alaudin Siddiqui Sahib, an Islamic scholar based in Pakistan. When plans for the college for girls over 16, it described itself as the 'Muslim Eton'. It said it's aim is to 'educate and empower women regardless of their age, colour, creed or social stature.' The trust acquired the former Burnley College in Lancashire and charges £5,500 a year for international students and £4,500 for UK and European enrolments. Staff teach A Levels and GCSEs in subjects including English, Mathematics and Science as well as Urdu and Arabic. The 90 or so students also have the opportunity to take on an Aalimah course - or Islamic Theology. It offers study of Arabic grammar, etymology, syntax and law. There is also halls of residence accommodation facilities for overseas students. The private-run establishment asks for donations on a section of its website. Speaking about the teacher's conduct, she said: 'There were quite a few times I didn't agree with the way he would make children wear veils across their faces just so he could teach them. 'I said \"nowhere in Islam does it say they must wear a veil to come to classes.\" He said, \"you have no knowledge of anything and have no right to talk with somebody not related to you.\" They said it was necessary to make all girls wear the veil.' Mrs Khan said she was also banned from assemblies where the girls would gather each evening because she was 'an outsider' and would have to wait outside. She added: 'There were a few occasions when I wasn't allowed into the assembly because they said I was an outsider. 'But when recitation is going on I am a Muslim and I recite the Qur'an. Mr Bashir made me wait outside. He used to say, \"can you wait outside? There are a few things you wouldn't understand. When we have finished you can come in.\" I used to say, \"it's all blessings, why can't I come in?\"' She claimed she was also not respected because she was female and not considered a Muslim 'scholar', despite being an experienced teacher. Mrs Khan said: 'The only way that we differ is that they say the Sheik, the founder of the college, is going to take them to heaven and everyone who does not believe in him is going to hell.' The 'Muslim Eton': Staff compared Mohiuddin International Girls College (pictured) to the independent boarding school in Berkshire which has educated 19 British Prime Ministers . Mrs Khan said matters came to a head after an Ofsted-type school inspection for Muslim education called the British School Inspectorate, where the college was criticised in a number of areas. The hearing was told that a meeting was called with the principal and trust director and she was 'blamed' for their failed inspection, called a 'stupid outsider' and ordered to leave. She said: 'I was upset, wasn't feeling well, had a lot of stress related issues and didn't want to come to court. 'For two years I waited and thought \"maybe they might sort things out for me\" but they didn't. I was very stressed. I was going through a lot, I had just lost my job. 'I was very depressed. My doctor said I was maybe going to have a nervous breakdown. 'I had realised I had been wronged. I thought they had been very prejudiced towards me and I thought I had been wronged.' Mrs Khan - who was representing herself - put questions to 45-year old Mr Bashir, a civil engineer who reacted angrily and was warned by tribunal judge over his conduct. When it was put to him by Mrs Khan that she had actually employed a Christian teacher, he replied: 'You don't even have a degree. You're not even qualified. I'm 100 per cent absolutely sure she was not employed as a vice-principal.' The tribunal, at Alexandra House in Manchester, heard that Mrs Khan claims she was ostracised by staff . Later Mr Bashir's own lawyer Amy Smith asked him: 'You are being accused of telling the business teacher that the claimant was incompetent in her work and she was a stupid outsider.' He replied: 'I never used the words stupid outsider.' She added: 'You are accused of making rude jokes because she was an outsider and she was going to hell and if you had it your way you would employ her as a cleaner or tea lady.' Mr Bashir who is no longer principal at the college replied: 'I never said that.' Miss Smith also put it to him that he told students Mrs Khan wouldn't understand them because she wasn't 'among them', which he also denied. He said the school employed Christian teachers so could not be accused of religious prejudice."

"value": "A working plastic gun has been printed using a self-assembled 3D printer, a nail and some household screws. The gun, based on blueprints made available online by Defense Distributed last month, cost just $25 (£16) to make and has already successfully fired nine .38 caliber shots by the Wisconsin engineer who built it. Up until now, the blueprints for the 'Liberator' gun have been mainly printed using industrial-grade 3D printers that cost around £5,250 ($8,000). Scroll down for video . A Wisconsin engineer has printed a 3D plastic gun using a self-assembled 3D printer he bought online, a nail and some household screws. In a video posted to YouTube, the engineer known only as Joe, successfully shoots nine .38 caliber shots. It is one of the first models to be printed on cheap, at-home 3D printers . 3D printing is poised to revolutionise engineering and reforge industries from medicine, to construction to aerospace. The process, also called additive manufacturing, creates a three-dimensional solid object from a digital model. The feat is achieved by laying down layer upon layer of plastic. The layers are then joined together to create the final shape. The machine takes blueprints from computer aided designs and 'slices' them into digital cross-sections that the machine uses as a guideline for printing. The process of addictive manufacturing has been in use on a large industrial scale since the early 1980s. Since 2010, an entire industry has sprung up around personal 3D printers, which are increasingly small, powerful and affordable. Defense Distributed used a higher-end $8,000 (£5,250) model to build its 3D gun. However entry-level desktop models can cost $500 to $1,000 (£329 to £659). The technology is used in a huge range of industries from construction to aerospace. Researchers recently used 3D printing to print bionic ears, that contained living cells from pigs. This latest gun is one of the first to be 3D printed using the much cheaper Lulzbot A0-101 3D printer - a printer that can be bought online, assembled at home and costs £1,136 ($1,725). Because of the use of the Lulzbot, the engineer behind the cheap gun known only as Joe, has called it the Lulz Liberator. In a video posted to YouTube, Joe is shown firing the printed gun which was pre-loaded with .380 caliber rounds. Eight shots were fired using the original printed plastic barrel. The barrel was then damaged, so it was replaced and Joe used it to fire one more shot. Joe told Forbes he believed it could have shot even more. The video was filmed by fellow Wisconsin engineer Michael Guslick. The Lulz Liberator is slightly different from the original plans because it has a rifled barrel and uses screws to hold it together, rather than printed plastic pins. It took two days to print the gun and Joe used generic ABS materials and household items that cost a total of $25 (£16). The blueprints for the first-ever . plastic gun produced on a 3D printer were released online, for free, by . Defense Distributed (DD) in March. The company's founder, 25-year-old Cody Wilson, spent a year working on the plans before successfully testing the designs. The first models based on DD's designs were printed in April. The plans behind the Liberator 3D-printed gun were designed by 25-year-old Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed. Wilson, pictured, spent a year working on the plans. He then made them available online, before the US State Department Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance ordered him to remove them because the guns could violate export regulations . This picture shows the printed parts of the Liberator gun designed by Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed. The version printed using the Lulzbot printer used metal screws to hold it together, rather than the plastic pins shown in this image . Earlier this month, DD announced the plans had been downloaded over 100,000 times and this led to the U.S. State Department ordering the . website to take down the plans, on the basis they could . violate export regulations. Because the original gun is made entirely from plastic it makes it possible to carry the gun through airport security metal detectors, for example, without being found out. Earlier this month, the Mail On Sunday tested this theory by smuggling a version of the Liberator gun onto a Eurostar train. Two reporters passed completely unchallenged through strict airport-style security to carry the gun on to a London to Paris service in the weekend rush-hour, alongside hundreds of unsuspecting travellers. The pistol was produced in under 36 hours using a £1,700 machine, bought online, to ‘print’ its components. Reporter Simon Murphy carried the plastic gun on to a London to Paris service in the weekend rush-hour . Once on board the packed 5.31pm Eurostar train, the reporters were able to assemble the pieces to create a fully functional firearm, and pose for pictures close to unsuspecting passengers . The train operator began an urgent investigation into the security breach following the expose, as experts called for airports and public buildings to review their procedures in light of our revelations. The Mail on Sunday pieced together the 16-part Liberator after downloading the designs. An American university student has proved earlier the same week that the designs worked, by successfully firing a bullet on a shooting range. To test the procedures at St Pancras International Station, the gun produced by the MoS was split into three pieces and concealed in the clothing of two reporters who bought standard class tickets to Paris. The reporters then walked through the usual security procedures, manned by UK Border officials. They placed their luggage and metal objects, including loose change and watches, in plastic trays which were then passed through airport scanners. But although they were carrying parts of a potentially deadly weapon, they were able to walk through a metal detector without triggering the alarm. While some passengers were patted down by security guards, they said they proceeded unchallenged to passport control, manned by French police. Once on board the packed 5.31pm Eurostar train on Friday, the reporters were able to assemble the pieces to create a fully functional firearm in just 30 seconds, and pose for pictures close to unsuspecting passengers. The two reporters said they did not attempt to smuggle the firing pin or bullet for safety and legal reasons, but claimed small metal items could be easily concealed. Following the expose, security experts and politicians said they were horrified at the implications of the investigation. Lord West, the former Labour security Minister, called for a review to see how the ‘extremely dangerous’ weapons could be better detected. But he said he was ‘not surprised’ that Eurostar checks had failed to spot the weapon because they were so hard to detect. He said: ‘What we need is a review of how we can look at these things and how we can discover them more easily. That will take work and it will cost money. ‘These weapons are extremely dangerous because they are very difficult to detect with the methods we normally use. This is going to be a real problem, no doubt about it. People are going to have to rethink whether we need more checks.’ A Eurostar spokeswoman said: ‘Eurostar has a high level of security, with a number of checks as specified by the authorities in order to protect the integrity of the Channel Tunnel. We take any issue relating to security very seriously. We will be investigating immediately to fully understand the nature of this issue with our security partner which carries out checks on our behalf at St Pancras. We will also investigate the matter with the Department for Transport, who oversee our security operation, and specify the checks that need to be undertaken.’ The Transport Department said the UK had ‘one of the strictest transport security regimes in the world’ and added: ‘This is kept under constant review in response to new or emerging threats, but we do not comment on specifics for obvious reasons.’ Cody Wilson, a 25-year-old law student at the University of Texas spent the last year designing the weapon. A self-styled libertarian, he argues that everyone should have access to guns, and said last week: ‘I recognise the tool might be used to harm other people ... it’s a gun. But I don’t think that’s a reason not to do it.’"

"value": "The Simpsons has been at the cutting edge of popular culture for a quarter of a century - but do Springfield's most famous residents have the ability to predict the future? According to Internet conspiracy theorists, the simple answer is yes. They claim the world famous TV series predicted the Ebola crisis back in a 1997 episode in which Marge tries to coax a sick Bart out of bed, as proof. She suggests he reads a book before producing one entitled 'Curious George and the Ebola Virus'. Scroll down for video . Conspiracy theorists have pointed to these clips in The Simpsons for its apparent ability to foresee the Ebola crisis which now threatens to become a pandemic as the US records its first victim. According to Internet conspiracy theorists, a 1997 episode from season nine of the popular cartoon, features Marge trying to coax a sick Bart into reading 'Curious George and the Ebola Virus' The book's cover shows a monkey lying in bed. The monket has long been suspected of being a carrier of the virus which has now made its way to America and claimed its first victim, Eric Thomas Duncan . Marge then asks if Bart would like 'to color something', to which he replies: 'I already did', and points to an apocalyptic drawing of a dead Bart surrounded by blood and bodies with the sun and clouds crying . She then asks if he would like 'to color something', to which he replies: 'I already did', and points to an apocalyptic drawing of a dead Bart surrounded by blood and bodies with the sun and clouds appearing to cry. The clip appeared on a YouTube channel called the Controversy7 where the host discusses the Ebola virus among various other theories about the power of the Hollywood film industry. The presenter of the site, Emmanuel Lokonga, wrote: 'Is there something we are not being told? Is it by pure chance & coincidence that the Simpsons would do predictive programming?' The YouTube commentators were split on Mr Lokonga's theory. VSR wrote: 'US Government has had ebola vaccines for a couple of years now. Look it up.' Sourjouneth Truth added: Thank you so very much for this video! Very good information. You have done an excellent job on this. Puppets on their strings, they think. NOT! Our Father has His Children's Backs. The rest of the story is being written and the fate of the evil is predetermined. Read Psalms 73.' However some skepticism came from Jayden Morpeth, who commented: 'You realize the Ebola virus has been around for a long time it just hasn't be as serious as it is now.' The episode where the Ebola book appeared was called Lisa's Sax and first aired on October 19, 1997. Despite the apparent chilling prediction from The Simpsons, Ebola was already well-known as a havoc-wreaking deadly virus in the late Nineties. Ebola was discovered in 1976 following major outbreaks that year in the Sudan and Zaire. In the 1990s, the disease saw a resurgence with an outbreak in Gabon in 1994, followed by another in Zaire in 1995. It could be said that other than the current Ebola crisis, the worst in recorded history, The Simpsons episode actually predicted the outbreak which occurred three years after the show aired. Between 2000-2004, close to 500 people died from Ebola in Uganda, Gabon, the Republic of Congo and Sudan. The current outbreak, which began last December, has so far killed more than 3,800 people, according to the latest World Health Organization figures. The vast majority of those deaths have been in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. On Wednesday a Liberian man, Eric Thomas Duncan, became the first Ebola victim to die on US soil. On Thursday a British man died from suspected Ebola in Macedonia. The Simpsons episode called Lisa's Sax aired on October 19, 1997 - and appeared to hold a chilling prediction about the future . The Simpsons Ebola conspiracy theory appears on a YouTube channel called TheControversy7 hosted by presenter Emmanuel Lokonga ."

"value": "Bayern Munich visited the Pope after their 7-1 demolition of Roma on Tuesday night. Afterwards, mind you, not beforehand. Bayern needed no divine intervention. They just needed to do what they do when they hit their best form: swarm irrepressibly over the opposition. Except swarm doesn't really do it justice. Better the phrase used by German magazine 'kicker', which described Bayern, and Pep Guardiola's plan, as 'more precise than a world famous surgeon'. Precision. That was what marked this Bayern performance out as so special. It wasn't that Roma defended particularly poorly – they even had a few strong chances on goal themselves – it was that Bayern's attacks were so precise. The Italians simply could not plug the eye of every single needle. Bayern Munich's stars celebrate their famous victory in front of their travelling support at the final whistle . This, as Guardiola has now successfully convinced the world, is not tiki-taka. Yet this is absolutely Guardiola's Bayern. Three at the back playing a high line, with a total of three players on each wing, all overlapping perpetually. A rock solid distributor in Xabi Alonso, and a couple of effortless space creators in the centre of attack in Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski. The result is that Bayern can perpetually switch the play, without being caught on the counter attack. It means they can perpetually push forward, without forcing their opposition merely to park the bus. It is an immensely precise, but also an immensely flexible system. Guardiola has demanded from day one that his players are able and willing to fill at least two different roles across a season. Last night, many of them did so in the space of half an hour. Arjen Robben was full of praise for his coach, saying 'huge praise goes to the training staff, who set us up perfectly'. As Guardiola put it after the game, though, 'good tactics are useless without good players'. Bayern Munich players celebrate during their sensational 7-1 thrashing of Roma in the Stadio Olimpico . Bayern's Robben ran rings around Roma's Ashley Cole (pictured, left) who was substituted at half-time . Robert Lewandowski scores his header while former Chelsea defender Ashley Cole (left) looks on helplessly . At the moment, Bayern finally seem to be harmonising the incredible quality of their squad with the innovative brilliance of their manager. Last season, it often appeared that they were trying too much to fit themselves to Guardiola's system. In their current form, they don't need to – it just comes naturally. For the fans, this is seventh heaven. Guardiola remains a little too exotic to become a local cult hero like Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund or Ottmar Hitzfeld at Bayern, but there are no complaints anymore about his adaptation of Bayern. For this team, winning is not enough – they have to dominate and destroy. That is exactly what they are doing, having scored seventeen goals in their last three games. There is a chant among Bayern fans which simply goes: 'Super Bayern, Super Bayern, hey!'. The team which took apart Roma on Tuesday night did look superhuman. Their strength, their flowing football, their precision were all simply out of this world. Franck Ribery of Bayern Munich scores his team's sixth goal during the Champions League Group E match .

Having both enjoyed success during distinguished playing careers the pair have seemingly always been on opposing sides. While Ancelotti played for Roma and AC Milan, Simeone starred for Lazio and Inter and the rivalry will continue in the Estadio da Luz dugouts as both manager's will hope to mastermind their club from the Spanish capital to victory. Moving the goalposts: Diego Simeone guided Atletico Madrid to the La Liga title this season . Barking orders: Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to guide Real Madrid to the club's tenth European Cup victory . So these two have always been on opposite sides? Pretty much so. Simeone for Lazio and Ancelotti for Roma. Simeone for Inter, Ancelotti for Milan. And now on opposite sides of the great divide in Madrid. What did they win? Ancelotti won four Italian Cups and one Scudetto with Roma. Some years later Simeone won one league, one cup, One European Super Cup and one Italian Super Cup with Lazio. And in Milan? Ancelotti won two European Cups under Arrigo Sacchi. He has quite a relationship with this tournament – six finals in total two won as a coach and one lost; two won as a player and one lost. Success: Ancelotti, pictured lifting the European Cup as a player in 1989, has won the tournament four times . Action shot: Anelotti won four Italian Cups and one Scudetto eight-year playing career with Roma . And Simeone at Inter? A Uefa Cup triumph in 1998. The same year he played a certain game at St. Etienne and got a certain England captain sent off. So who had the better career? Ancelotti has the cups, Simeone has the caps. The Italian has won the Champions League twice but Diego played even more games for Argentina (106) than the other Diego, Maradona. All smiles: Simeone celebrates with Ivan Zamarano (left) and Youri Djorkaeff (centre) during his Inter days . And did they ever actually face each other on the pitch in one of those Rome or Milan derbies? No. They only started locking horns as managers. So what’s the balance? Simeone got the better of Ancelotti at the Bernabeu in the league earlier in the season becoming the first coach to lead Atleti to victory in a league match over Real in 14 years. Honours were even in the return fixture in a 2-2 draw. In the cup Real knocked Atletico out winning both legs. So it’s one win to Carlo, one to Diego, and one draw. All to play for in the biggest game of all. All to play for: Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are both set to start in Saturday's Champions League final . Head-to-head: Both managers have managed to beat the other in Spain this year ."

"value": "A nurse who admitted killing at least 40 patients in his care but is suspected of murdering hundreds apologized for the deaths in his first ever interview from jail but still claimed they were mercy killings. Charles Cullen was handed down six life sentences in 2006 after he admitted poisoning at least 40 people in New Jersey and Pennsylvania over the course of his 16-year nursing career. Considered one of the most prolific serial killers in American history and once dubbed 'the angel of death', Cullen said he wanted to end his patients' suffering, even though many of them were in good health. Scroll down for video . First claim: In an interview to be with CBS' 60 Minutes, Charles Cullen at first says he thought he was helping people by ending their suffering . Another tune: Cullen tells a different story when reminded some victims were not close to death. He says there was 'no justification' and 'I felt overwhelmed at the time' Youngest and oldest victims: Michael T. Strenko, 21, was having routine spleen surgery when he was poisoned and Helen Dean, 91, was in the hospital for breast cancer surgery when she died . The serial killer was interviewed for the first time ever about the murders by CBS' 60 Minutes, which was aired last night. Caught: It wasn't until the suspicious death of Fr Florian J. Gall that Cullen's killing spree was finally unearthed . When asked if he considered himself a murderer, he said: 'I think that I had a lot of trouble accepting that word for a long time. I accept that that's what it is.' When asked if he got pleasure out of . killing people, Cullen told 60 Minutes: 'No, I thought that people . weren't suffering anymore. So, in a sense, I thought I was helping.' When it was pointed out that many of . his patients weren't in pain, he said: 'You know, again, you know, I . mean, my goal here isn't to justify. 'You know what I did there is no . justification. I just think that the only thing I can say is that I felt . overwhelmed at the time.' In the interview broadcast last night on CBS' 60 Minutes, Cullen admits that if he had not been stopped, he probably would have went on to kill more people. At the time of his arrest in December 2003, Cullen told authorities he had administered overdoses to patients to spare them from going into cardiac or respiratory arrest. Even though there were suspicions at several of the hospitals he worked at, these were never reported or marked on his record and Cullen was able to continue his killing spree at each place he was transferred to. Guilty: Charles Cullen is walked through the Northampton County Court House in Easton PA after he pleaded guilty to the 1998 murder of Easton Hospital patient, Ottomar Schramm . More murders: Cullen pleaded guilty in May 2004 to three additional murders of patients in a hospital where he worked . When Cullen was hired at Saint Luke's . University Hospital in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he had already been . fired or forced to resign from five other hospitals. Yet none of this was in his file with the state nursing board. He admits to killing five people at . St Lukes and even though there were suspicions, the hospital asked him . to resign on the premise they would give him neutral references. He was then hired as a critical care . nurse at New Jersey's Somerset Medical Center, where he administered . lethal injections to 13 patients over 13 months. It was only when a Roman Catholic . priest named Florian Gall died unexpectedly overnight while recovering . from pneumonia, that the hospital discovered high levels of the heart . drug digoxin in his blood. It was the second unexplained overdose in two weeks and set in motion the events leading up to Cullen's arrest. Asked why he thought he was able to . go undetected for so long, he said: 'I think because it's a matter of . worrying about lawsuits. 'If they pointed out that there was a . problem they were going to be found liable for millions of dollars. They just saw it as a lot easier to not put themselves in a position of . getting sued.' He also revealed that when he was at . Somerset, he was allowed to work one more shift even though he was being . fired over the suspicious deaths. 'The weird thing about Somerset . Hospital was is that they were planning on firing me the night before. So they let me work one more shift knowing that they were going to fire . me the next day,' he told 60 Minutes. 'So they let me work an additional . shift with the suspicion that I had harmed patients. Which I, you know, . was kind of a bizarre thing to do.' Cullen has admitted to killing 40 terminally ill patients in nine hospitals and a nursing home . Watch video here: ."

"value": "Smoking chimneys and garish gasometers invade the skyline. The backdrop is poignant if not pretty, for here, amid the industrial heartland of the Ruhr Valley, rumbles one of the talent factories responsible for powering Germany to World Cup success. This is the academy of Schalke 04, once home to Manuel Neuer, Benedikt Howedes, Julian Draxler and Mesut Ozil - more than £100million’s worth of talent and a key part of the squad in Brazil. And here’s the bad news, at least from an England perspective - there is more to come. Captain Philipp Lahm, record goalscorer Miroslav Klose and defender Per Mertesacker may have retired since their crowning night in Rio, but on Sunday evening in Dortmund a golden generation — this lot have the medals to support that moniker — begin their quest for continental dominance when their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign opens against Scotland. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Julian Draxler showing off his skills . Champion conveyor belt: Schalke 04 graduate Manuel Neuer holds Germany's 2014 World Cup trophy aloft . Proud products: Mesut Ozil and Julian Draxler are among the top players to come out of Gelsenkirchen . Integral: Still at Schalke, defender Benedikt Howedes (right) was a key cog in Germany's World Cup line-up . Schalke, unsurprisingly, are ready to restock the national team: Leon Goretzka, 19, and Max Meyer, 18, have already been capped. So what is their secret formula? Forget football for a moment; it is the chemistry of character, maturity, education and trust which is key in Gelsenkirchen. Oliver Ruhnert, academy director, points first to his head and only later to his feet when asked what makes a world champion footballer, and he should know. ‘Mentality is the first thing we look for,’ he says, having already agreed that Germany’s squad in Brazil was psychologically superior to the rest. ‘Any of our scouts know the information we want above all else. What is his mentality? What is he doing when the team are losing? How do his team-mates react to him? ‘The second step is what they can do with their feet. There have been players who would make our team better, for sure, but in the future they would have been a black sheep. This is especially important for Schalke, it is more than technical skills.’ Earlier in the day an Under-16 match is watched by upwards of 500 spectators, many enjoying a beer and a bockwurst - traditional German sausage - laid on by the club. Ruhnert believes early exposure to crowds is one of the reasons why Germany’s players invite the amplified pressure of a major tournament, whereas England’s boys shy away on the international stage. ‘I visited Chelsea, Man City, Man United — all the facilities are so unbelievable and they are better than here. The pitches are like golf greens,’ he says. ‘But maybe the difference is mentality and maturity. When I was there I thought to myself, “Where are the spectators?” Some of the games I went to they were not allowed to watch. Why the secret? Dream factory: Park stadium, Schalke 04's headquarters, training grounds and medical facilities . Honest surroundings: There's nothing especially glamorous about Schalke's headquarters... But the complex and those behind the development of youth players have many reasons to be proud . ‘I think players need to feel pressure. In England, perhaps they don’t. In Germany, we want to treat our players like men from a young age and encourage them to take responsibility.’ On the subject of England, Ruhnert offers: ‘I think the one thing which has to change is the number of foreign players in the Premier League. Before Euro 2000 (when Germany suffered an embarrassing exit at the group stage) it was the same here, you could not find a German centre-forward in the Bundesliga. ‘But after 2000 we changed everything, from top to bottom.’ One innovation was education. Within the grounds of the academy is the Gesamtschule Berger Feld, a partial boarding school which now boasts a quartet of World Cup winners as alumni, as well as several of the current first team who came third in the Bundesliga last season. But it is not just about academic grades. Schalke are strict on their youngsters absorbing the history of the club. Their nickname - Die Knappen - means The Miners, the team having originally been made up of workers from the nearby coalmine. Indeed, the tunnel at the 79,000-capacity Veltins Arena has been transformed to resemble their forefathers’ underground workplace. Future stars: Schalke midfielder Max Meyer and Leon Goretzka celebrate a Bundesliga goal . Next wave: Meyer (left), 18, and Goretzka, 19, have already been capped with the national team . ‘Everybody always asks me, “Why are you so successful?”’ laughs Ruhnert, a coach since his twenties. He is now 41 and one of Germany’s most respected voices on youth football. ‘Of course, you need excellent scouts and coaches and a little bit of luck. But I believe in making small differences. ‘One of them, for us, is that we believe it is very important to tell the players the history of Schalke, to have this in the mind, to always have the spirit of Schalke in the heart. That breeds loyalty and passion. Draxler has been here since he was nine, Benni (Howedes) also. They know the club and have desire for it. The reference to the miners reminds them of the hard work needed to succeed.’ There is also a more recent reminder of the club’s proud history just beyond the academy, where a retro Eighties floodlight towers above a crumbling stadium. That is the old Parkstadion, a host venue at Euro 88 and scene of West Germany’s 2-0 win over Denmark, with Jurgen Klinsmann and Olaf Thon the scorers. Connection to history: Schalke redesigned their home tunnel to represent the club's coal mining heritage . Club spirit: Draxler has been part of the Schalke system since he was nine years old . Thon, until Neuer and Co, was perhaps the most famous graduate of Schalke’s youth system. As I chat with Ruhnert, Thon, now 48, is himself just a few hundred yards away at an open day for supporters where more than 100,000 have gathered to meet stars past and present. Everywhere there is evidence of togetherness, community and spirit, a club safeguarding its future. To that end, finding talent is the continual challenge facing Ruhnert and his team of scouts. So where do they unearth their gems? A lot closer than you would perhaps think. Neuer and Ozil were born in Gelsenkirchen, Draxler in the bordering city of Gladbeck and Howedes just 20 miles away in Haltern. There is no need for South American superscouts, as Ruhnert explains: ‘Up to 13 [years old] we only go 20 kilometres around. Up to 15 we extend to our region, which includes 16 million people. It must be possible to find good players in that area, and that is our philosophy here. I say to my scouts, “Please look here first”. ‘After 15 we might start looking abroad. But look at the players we are successful with, most are from Germany and from very close to Gelsenkirchen. ‘One of our scouts is 62 and he only looks out for players between nine and 12 – but he has an unbelievable eye, the best. If he comes to me and says he likes a player, he is never wrong. ‘And we have more coming through now: Max Meyer, Leon Goretzka and Leroy Sane — watch out for them, they are waiting to be the next stars, for Schalke and the national side.’ For while the furnaces of the Ruhr Valley continue to blaze, a diamond is always being mined nearby. Manuel Neuer (28 years old, 203 apps for Schalke before £18m move to Bayern Munich in 2011) ‘Manu is great, I like him so much. At 16 the coaches said he was too small, but he grew 20cm and is now the best goalkeeper in the world. He is someone who always had the mentality to make it to the very top.’ Benedikt Howedes (26 years old, 236 apps/18 goals, still at the club) ‘Benni played on the left side in the World Cup. He had never done that before, that is unbelievable. He is not so fast or good with the ball but he is so intelligent. So you can see, there are different ways to become a professional.’ Julian Draxler (20 years old, 150 apps/27 goals, still at club) ‘There is always speculation about Julian’s future but it is better for him to stay here. He needs time. He made his debut at 16 and there was a lot of hype. But he had a dip also when he was younger. We keep faith with our players though and now he has the chance to be a fantastic player.’ Mesut Ozil (25 years old, 39 apps/1 goal for Schalke before £4m move to Werder Bremen in 2008) ‘Mesut was unbelievable at a young age, a real No 10. But now I don’t think he is the right player for the Premier League (with Arsenal). He is not a fighter. If you need to fight in a match then that’s not him. I think it would be good for him to make a new start, but he is too expensive for us now!’ AND ONE FOR THE FUTURE… . Max Meyer (18 years old, 50 apps/7 goals, still at club) ‘He has already been capped by Germany. He is unbelievable. I have never seen anyone like him. You can wake him up at four o’clock in the morning and he’ll go out and play. He could be one of the best players in the world in the future. But when he was 14 he was so small, everyone said “what do you want with this player?”. We realised the potential he had. He had skills you cannot learn.’ It's not too late to play MailOnline Fantasy Football… There's £1,000 to be won EVERY WEEK by the highest scoring manager ."

The 37-year-old, who has been at New York Red Bulls since 2010, will be out of contract with the MLS side at the end of the year and could be open to a move back to Europe in January. Speculation has been rife that Henry is set to retire but the former Gunner could also return for a third spell at Arsenal. Speculation is rife in France that Arsenal legend Thierry Henry could move to PSG or Monaco in January . Henry started his glittering career at Monaco back in 1996 where he scored 21 goals in 115 appearances . The Frenchman, playing against another former club Juventus, played for Monaco between 1995-1999 . Thierry Henry began his career in France at Monaco during a five-year spell from 1994 to 1999, when he joined Juventus: . Appearances: 115 . Goals: 21 . Honours: Ligue 1 title 1996-97, Trophee des champions 1997 . Le10 Sport claims Henry could be pursued by the Ligue 1 giants and could return to his first club, Monaco. New York's global head of football, former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier, has fuelled the speculation of a move to Ligue 1 by stating Henry could still play at the top level in France. 'If he has the level to play in Ligue 1? Yes, no problem,' Houllier told Le10 Sport. 'So far no decision has been made, either in one direction or the other. Thierry has not decided to end his career,' added Houllier. Henry (right), in action against his former club Arsenal this summer, could be leaving New York Red Bulls . The Frenchman, celebrating at the Emirates, is Arsenal's leading scorer after two spells in North London . 'We would love to keep it but it will also depend on him. Besides Thierry is in shape, it gives the impression of not growing old because he scores goal on goal. 'If there is another strategy that is to start with another squad, younger as the team gains a bit of experience, I think that Thierry could be part of this adventure. 'But it was confirmed that neither he nor the club had not made a decision.'"

He also received a book on neurological physiotherapy, a pirate outfit and an £18.98 Lego fire truck, as well as the £889 55-inch Samsung 3D television and the 12 inch Galaxy Pro, which retails on the site for £338. Other parcels contained larger items such as a single bed, a bookcase and a chest of drawers. And there has been a £120 laptop, a baby buggy, a Sony PSP console, a £90 Waterman pen, a £170 electric wine cooler, a Lotus car user manual, CDs, DVDs and books. Mr Quinn, 22, who is currently away at the University of Liverpool where he studies engineering, believes a computer glitch meant the goods were sent to him, instead of a returns depot as the items had been packaged up with returns labels. His haul remains at his family home but sensibly, he took the pen back to Liverpool for his studies. He said: 'At first I phoned up Amazon and they said that people must be \"gifting\" them to me, but there’s no way that’s happening because I don’t know any of these people. 'I was worried that people were losing out on their stuff so I phone Amazon again and said I’m happy to accept these gifts if they are footing the cost, but I’m not happy if these people are going to lose out. But Amazon said \"it’s on us\". 'I don’t think they’ve rectified the problem because I’m still getting more stuff.' Some of the gifts he plans to give as presents to his family, but may sell the £340 tablet despite his father having a keen eye on it. 'My brother wants the Dolce and Gabbana aftershave and my dad wants the Galaxy tablet,' he said. 'My brother can get the aftershave but I’m not sure my dad can have that tablet for free. 'My mum wants the leaf blower, she can have that. The rest I might sell back on Amazon.' The keen inventor is planning to give some of the items away to charity and sell the rest to fund an 'innovative' new cannabis grinder he is designing. He said: 'I should have about £1,600 to play with this summer and I might take my girlfriend to Bruges. 'And at the moment I’m working on an electrical cannabis grinder. I’m thinking about getting a patent on it.' Lucky: The goods include a 55-inch Samsung television, similar to this model, and a tablet computer . Christmas comes early: The parcels were sent to Mr Quinn's family home, and included a Samsung tablet computer, similar to the one pictured . A spokesman for Amazon told MailOnline: 'This matter has now been resolved and I can confirm that on this occasion the customer has been informed that he can keep the items that were delivered.' Amazon.co.uk, and many of the sellers who run their businesses through the website, offer returns for most items within 30 days of receipt of delivery, although this has been extended for the Christmas period. Many buyers are given a label to print and fix to their item before posting it back to the retailer. Last week the retailer experienced a record-breaking Black Friday when it sold 5.5million items at a rate of 64 purchases a second. It has also hired 13,000 extra staff to deal with pre-Christmas demand.

Scroll down for video . A Japanese space explorer took off today on a six-year journey to complete the most ambitious mission to an asteroid ever attempted. The explorer, named Hayabusa 2, is heading for the carbon-rich asteroid 1999 JU3, which could hold secrets to how the solar system formed . The 1,300lbs (600 kg) spacecraft was launched on a hydrogen-fueled H-2A rocket at the seaside spaceport of Tanegashima in southern Japan. The rocket's upper stage engine fired twice to help the daring spacecraft break free from the pull of Earth's gravity. Carrying four stowaway landers, the spacecraft separated from the H-2A rocket at 06:09 GMT (1:09am EST). Once it reaches the asteroid, a small device will separate from the explorer and shoot a projectile to blast open a crater several feet in diameter. Japan's next asteroid sample return mission will take six years to return material from 1999 JU3 back to Earth. This will involve a number of stages, including dropping an 'impactor' that will explode above the asteroid's surface to allow a probe to collect material . The probe is expected ) to reach the asteroid in mid-2018, spend 18 months studying it and return in late 2020 with samples in time for the Tokyo Summer Olympics. The rocket's upper stage engine fired twice to help the daring spacecraft break free from the pull of Earth's gravity . Once it reaches the asteroid, a small device will separate from the explorer and shoot a projectile to blast open a crater several feet in diameter . The 31 billion yen (£166 million or $260 million) project is sending a probe towards the unpoetically-named 1999 JU3 asteroid in deep space. It will blast a crater in the asteroid to collect virgin materials unexposed to millennia of solar wind and radiation. It aims to answer some fundamental questions about life and the universe - including how the solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago. Hayabusa 2, about the size of a refrigerator, is expected to reach the asteroid in 2018 and will spend around 18 months studying the surface. It will also drop tiny Minerva-II rover robots as well as a French-German landing package named Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (Mascot) for surface observation. In a galactic first, Hayabusa 2 will drop an 'impactor' that will explode above the asteroid's surface and fire a metal bullet into the crust at a speed of 4,5000 miles (7,200 l,) -- six times the speed of sound on Earth. The bullet is expected to create a small crater that will enable the probe to collect material that will be returned to Earth in 2020. The probe will map the surface of the asteroid before touching down, deploying small explosives to blast a crater to collect virgin materials unexposed to millennia of solar wind and radiation. An impactor will explode above the asteroid's surface and fire a metal bullet into the crust at a speed of 4,5000 miles (7,200 l,) -- six times the speed of sound on Earth. Hayabusa, which means peregrine falcon in Japanese, plans to hide behind the asteroid during the blast to protect its vital systems. The probe is a rectangular unit with two sets of solar panels sticking out from its sides. The main unit measures 3.3 x 5.2 x 4.6 ft (1 x 1.6 x 1.4 metres). 'The asteroid is carbonaceous and we may find organic matter and water, the stuff of life,' said Hitoshi Kuninaka, project leader at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. 'The impactor is made fully with Japanese technologies that are so advanced you would think they are out of this world,' he added . It will also drop tiny Minerva-II rover robots as well as a French-German landing package named Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (Mascot) for surface observation. The mission should help Japan's space programme put a troubled past well behind it. The first Hayabusa probe was unable to collect as much material as hoped but still made history by being the first vessel to bring back samples from an asteroid. Its seven-year mission ended in 2010 when it blazed a trail over Australian before slamming into the desert. But at the time, Jaxa's work guiding the craft back to Earth made it a source of pride for Japan, even inspiring several Japanese feature films. By reaching inside an asteroid this time, the new explorer may recover material that is not as weathered by the space environment and heat. 'The mission was completed one way or another, but we stumbled along the way,' said Akitaka Kishi from Jaxa's lunar and planetary exploration team. The mission aims to answer some fundamental questions about life and the universe - including how the solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago. The above graphic was created by Karl Tate and provided by Space.com . The ambitious spacecraft separated from the H-2A rocket at 06:09 GMT (1:09am EST). It is seen here leaving Earth above the Pacific Ocean . The probe is a rectangular unit with two sets of solar panels sticking out from its sides. It measures 3.3 x 5.2 x 4.6 ft (1 x 1.6 x 1.4 metres) The probe will map the surface of the asteroid before touching down, deploying small explosives to blast a crater to collect virgin materials . 'To travel there and bring back something is extremely difficult.' Asteroids are believed to have formed at the dawn of the solar system and the probe's target is one called 1999 JU3, which scientists believe contains organic matter that may have contributed to life on Earth. Asteroid 1999 JU3, a rocky body around 3,000ft (900 metres) across with a tenuous gravity field, with a gravity field 60,000 times weaker than Earth's. It is believed to contain significantly more organic matter and water than the potato-shaped rock studied by the original Hayabusa. Its launch, postponed twice because of bad weather, comes less than a month after a European Space Agency probe landed on a comet in a pioneering mission. The European Space Agency's Philae probe finished a 57-hour mission on the surface of a comet on 15 November. But the solar-powered probe lost battery power due to landing in a spot shielded. The Rosetta mission team hope to revive it in March as it nears the sun. Hayabusa 2, about the size of a refrigerator, is expected to reach the asteroid in 2018 and will spend around 18 months studying the surface. Pictured on the left is an artist's impression of the probe above Earth, while the right image shows Hayabusa 2 attached to rocket before launch .

"value": "A plan to build a modern-day crematorium next to the gas chambers and ovens of a Nazi death camp has sparked a storm of protest from Jewish organisations around the world. Authorities in Lublin in eastern Poland want to construct the crematorium near to the Majdanek camp where 80,000 people were put to death during the Second World War . The camp was captured nearly intact because the advance of the Soviet Red Army was so rapid it prevented the Nazis from destroying it before liberation. Death camp: Tens of thousands of people - including many Jews - were killed by the Nazis at Majdanek . Horror: The bodies of those who died were incinerated in the camp's crematorium . Tragic history: The memorial at the entry gate within the concentration camp . Tragedy: Barbed wire fences trapped the prisoners into the camp, while armed guards kept watch for escape attempts . Majdanek remains the best preserved Nazi concentration camp of the Holocaust with intact gas chambers, crematoria and barracks. It is a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. But now Lublin, which has no crematorium for modern day funerals, has deeply upset Europe's Jews with its insensitive plan to build one near Majdanek. 'If people see smoke rising from a crematorium chimmney they will think it comes from Majdanek,' said Roman Litman of the Jewish community of Lublin, the city from where the Nazis directed the murder of 2.4 million Jews in a string of death camps in Nazi-occupied Poland. 'It cannot and must not be built anywhere near this hallowed ground that is strewn with the ashes of the dead.' Reign of terror: A watch tower looks over the site of the Nazi prison camp . Lublin city council is due to decide the planning application from a company called Styks before Friday. Krzysztof . Zuk, mayor of the city of Lublin, and authorities overseeing the . Majdanek memorial site which includes a museum, want the company to find . a different location for its crematorium which - if allowed to go ahead . - would be barely 750 yards away from the place where the Nazis . incinerated their victims. Lublin . says it needs a crematorium as more and more Catholics shun burials. But the rising tide of anger at the spot which has been earmarked may . mean further delays in getting one built. 'There should be no crematorium in . this area because of the one that is already there,' said Edward . Balawajder, the former director of the Memorial Majdanek. 'Majdanek . is known around the world as a memorial to the victims of Nazism. It . should not be shrouded in the smoke of burning people again,' read a . letter to the local paper signed by Jewish groups while Anti-Defamation . League leader Abraham Foxman, himself a Holocaust survivor, said; 'The . idea is disgusting, that a company wants to build such a thing near holy . ground dedicated to the memory of people who suffered incredible . cruelties.' Some locals, however, have backed the project, saying they want to live in a 'normal' city unburdened by the Nazi past. Majdanek . began life as a concentration camp for Jews and Soviet POWS, but began . exterminating inmates soon after opening in 1941. Grim discovery: Soldiers from the Soviet Red Army look at the ovens at Majdanek, following the camp's liberation in 1944 . Majdanek . functioned as sorting and storage depot for property and valuables . taken from the victims at the killing centers in Belzec, Sobibor, and . Treblinka, all in Poland. Victims at Majdanek were forced into gas chambers that were pumped full with the exhaust from captured Soviet tank engines. The crematoria next door still has ash remains of victims in its ovens. The Nazis built hundreds of concentration camps across occupied Europe before and during WWII. The two largest groups prisoners, both numbering in the millions, were Polish Jews and Soviet prisoners of war. There were also large numbers of Roma, ethnic Poles, political prisoners, homosexuals, people with disabilities, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholic clergy, Eastern European intellectuals and others. Western Allied aviators were also sent to concentration camps as spies."

So it's no wonder Kim Kardashian's tanner was brought in to bronze a collection of the world's most beautiful women at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday night. Renowned beautician Jimmy Coco worked on supermodels including Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio - who both sported a noticeably deep mahogany glow - plus Behati Prinsloo and Doutzen Kroes. Scroll down for video . Brazilian beauties Adriana Lima (l) and Alessandra Ambrosio (r) looking super bronzed on the runway on Tuesday night . Owner/founder Jimmy Snyder of Jimmy Coco: Mobile Tanning Pros (l) and Kim Kardashian looking bronzed on Monday (r) Alessandra and Adriana, both 33, showed off their glow as they strutted their stuff down the runway in dazzling $2million Dream Angels Fantasy Bras. Jimmy used an incredible 3.5 litres of fake tan to prep the stunning beauties for their moment on stage. And he revealed his top tanning secrets ahead of his ninth year working on the annual lingerie show - which was held in London's Earl's Court Arena. According to the Telegraph, Jimmy uses up to three coats of tanner on each model, which takes approximately 25 minutes per layer and lasts for seven days. The false tan connoisseur told the paper how his process involves more than 40 cans, which totals almost 3.5 litres of product. Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio wear Fantasy bras on the catwalk . Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last night . Behati Prinsloo in £10,000 Nicholas Kirkwood boots (l) and Doutzen Kroes (r) on the catwalk . Jimmy has plenty of tools to help him along the way, including a mini airbrush applicator, two tanning tents and 24ft hose. When asked why the models require so much lotion, he said: 'Angels have the most beautiful long legs, which require lots of tanning liquid.' The 'tan man' then revealed how a chance encounter with Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr led him to his current role in the lingerie runway show. He said: 'The VS Fashion Show came to Los Angeles in 2006. I lived a block away from [then] Kodak Theater where the show was happening. I waited in the hotel lobby and introduced myself to Miranda Kerr as she walked by, and offered her a spray tan. 'Soon, all of the Angels were asking for a tan and I have been hired to be Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Tan Man ever since.' Candice Swanepoel on the catwalk (l) and Lily Donaldson (r) in similar gold winged ensembles . The highlight of the annual Victoria's Secret catwalk event is always the reveal of the Fantasy Bra, of which this year there were two, each of them designed and made by Mouawad jewellers for the lingerie brand. The jewellery makers created the bras using 16,000 rubies, diamonds and sapphires, all of which are strung together with 18-carat gold. The ornate ensembles took the designers more than 1,380 hours to make. Adriana wore the blue and silver version of the swanky lingerie, her toned body bedecked in intricate jewellery across her decolletage, down her torso and over her slim hips. Alessandra had the pleasure of wearing the red bra, and was covered in even more body jewellery than her colleague, accentuating her enviably trim shape, flat stomach and muscular yet lean thighs. The Brazilian models walk the runway wearing the $2m (£1.2m) Fantasy bras during the 2014 show . Each of the models - who have been Victoria's Secret Angels for years (Adriana since 2000, Alessandra since 2004) - were adorned with large, flowing capes matching the colour of their underwear, adding to the drama of the moment. In mid-November, they had taken the elaborate bras to the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, Nevada to pose with the bejeweled creations. Most of the shoes of the night were designed by Sophia Webster, while some of the boots were Nicholas Kirkwood - coming in at a whopping £10,000."

But going under the knife to fix bodily woes doesn't always pay off, with new research revealing that two thirds of those who have had surgery say they wish they hadn't. Of the 2,638 people surveyed, 65 per cent said they regretted the operation and a third confessed that the results weren't what they hoped for, with just 28 per cent declaring themselves pleased. Under the knife: 65 per cent, of the 2,638 people aged 18 and over from around the UK, who have had plastic surgery in the past five years, said they regretted it . Second thoughts: Katie Price, pictured here in 2011, has spoken of her regret at having too much plastic surgery . Of the men and women polled, 31 per cent had had breast implants, 27 per cent a nose job and 24 per cent liposuction. Common complaints included complications, which were cited by almost a quarter of respondents, while 17 per cent were angry that side-effects weren't fully explained. So disastrous were the experiences of 13 per cent of those surveyed, they actually felt less confident after the surgery. Another eight per cent revealed that the cost of the operation had left them in dire financial straits. The perils of surgery are well-documented thanks to the well-publicised disaster stories featured on TV shows such as Channel 5's Botched Up Bodies and TLC's Extreme Beauty Disasters. Others to speak out about the risks of going under the knife include the surgically enhanced Katie Price, who in 2011, revealed that she regretted some of the choices she had made. 'There was a time when I went mad and my . lips were hideous and I looked like a duck,' she told the Sunday Mirror. 'I look at old pictures . and I'm scared at what I did to myself. I'm not happy with my boobs at all. I had them reduced because I . had huge boobs. They were ridiculous.' Although Price is yet to rule out having more surgery, the majority of respondents to the new poll, which was conducted by solicitors Medical Accident Group, said they wouldn't repeat the experience. Of the 17 per cent who would consider having more cosmetic surgery, half of those would want to repeat same cosmetic procedure as before. Speaking about the results, Ally Taft, a partner at Medical Accident Group, said: ‘There are many risks associated with what are often major operations and, unfortunately, we see the ones that go wrong. 'The cosmetic surgery sector is not particularly well-regulated so it is important that people consider whether to go through with a procedure very carefully and carry out thorough research into their surgeon or clinic.' Have you regretted having cosmetic surgery? If you have a story you would like to share with Femail, email us at [email protected] ."

George Osborne has banished his tabby cat Freya from Downing Street after she lost out in the battle for his affections to a Bichon Frise called Lola. After five years with the Osbornes, Freya has been exiled to the Kent countryside where she will live with a member of Mr Osborne’s staff. George Osborne has banished his tabby cat Freya (pictured) from Downing Street after she lost out in the battle for his affections to a Bichon Frise called Lola . Freya has been exiled to the Kent countryside where she will live with a member of Mr Osborne’s staff . To appease the Chancellor’s two children, Luke, 13, and Liberty, 11, her new owner has agreed to send them regular photographs and updates about the cat. The official explanation is that the move is for Freya’s own safety: it comes just weeks after she was hit by a car near Downing Street. The mog has also made headlines for her worrying tendency to stray. But other sources claim it was simple favouritism - Mr Osborne is more of a dog man, and Freya was felt to have been ‘bullying’ Lola, who is half her size. When the Chancellor first brought Lola back to the flat above No 10 where he lives, in 2011, Freya was already firmly ensconsed. Although each pet had the run of their own floor of the apartment, when they met on the stairs the mood was said to have been ‘frosty’. Lola soon cemented her place in the Government by getting ‘married’ to Chief Whip Michael Gove’s male Bichon Frise, Snowy, in a flower-strewn ceremony. Mr Osborne has been gushing about Lola, who he devotedly takes for loo breaks in the Downing Street garden at 6am and midnight. Mr Osborne has been gushing about Lola (pictured), who he devotedly takes for loo breaks in the Downing Street garden . Only yesterday he told an interviewer that he thought Lola was ‘much prettier’ than Mr Gove’s dog. He didn’t mention Freya. Last night, a Downing Street source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Freya had to go, it just wasn’t working out. She was a handful. Poor Lola was scared of her.’ However, an aide to the Chancellor was at pains to deny that Freya had been intimidating the dog. ‘The issue was her tendency to roam, not her relations with Lola,’ he said. ‘She has ended up all over the place: Trafalgar Square, the Red Lion pub [on Whitehall] and miles south of the river. ‘It was getting too much and it was only a matter of time before she was seriously hurt.’ Freya’s temperament was first questioned when she was seen fighting with David Cameron’s cat, Larry, on the Downing Street pavement. This summer, the tabby had to be treated by vets after being hit by a car. Her injuries were minor, but it confirmed the Chancellor’s growing view that the Osbornes should become a one-pet family. Freya went missing from Mr Osborne’s Notting Hill home in 2009 and, after the family moved to Downing Street, she strayed more frequently, once travelling more than a mile to Vauxhall, where she was rescued by a charity worker. Last night, a Treasury aide said: ‘The car accident could have been fatal, and as a result the family took the view that she was at too much risk living in Downing Street.’ Freya’s departure leaves Larry, who lives with the Camerons above No 11, as the last feline in residence in Downing Street. The most famous No 10 cat was Humphrey, who was adopted in 1989 as a stray while Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister. When Tony Blair moved in, officials were forced to organise a photocall to disprove rumours the cat had been put down by wife Cherie."

"value": "Physics genius Professor Stephen Hawking has told Roy Hodgson that his best chances of winning the World Cup in Brazil rest on key factors like playing a 4-3-3 formation, wearing red shirts and persuading the blondest players to take the penalties. After a month long study into the science of England’s past World Cup performances, Professor Hawking shared some of his findings. Perhaps most worrying among them for a team set to start their campaign in the Amazon rainforest, he found that a five-degree increase in temperature reduces England’s chances of winning by 59 per cent. VIDEO Scroll down to see Stephen Hawking's England World Cup theories . Winning formula: Professor Stephen Hawking has unveiled maths that would win England the World Cup . Success: Hawking's formulae for England winning the World Cup (top) and for penalties victory . Numbers game: The Cambridge physicist analysed data from every tournament since 1966 - but he believes the heat, the altitude and the distance from home could all scupper England's chances . He also discovered England are 22 per cent more likely to win short-haul games and that jet-lag, cultural differences and the nationality of the referee and shirt colour all take their toll. They are better close to sea-level and kicking off as near to 3pm as possible. In red, England have a 20 per cent higher rate of success, fitting the theory that red makes teams feel 'more confident, more aggressive and more dominant', something which will not be lost on Cardiff owner Vincent Tan. Professor Hawking also found England won 63 per cent of games with a European referee, compared with 38 per cent when the referee is from elsewhere. He also added that: 'WAGs are irrelevant.' As for penalties, he discovered strikers score the most, not surprisingly. The best place to aim is for the top corners and he also found blond and bald players perform better from the spot than those which dark hard, something he claimed with remain 'one of the mysteries of science.' Putting them on the spot: England are rubbish at penalties. Fact. Blonds are better: Apparently blonds (such as Joe Hart) are proven to be more proficient at penalties . Irrelevant: WAGs like Steven Gerrard's wife Alex Curran don't affect chances of winning, according to Hawking . Colour of success: England are more likely to win if they wear red, as they did famously in 1966 . 'European referees are more sympathetic to the English game and less sympathetic to ballerinas like [Luis] Suarez,' he said, and noted that goalkeepers who wobble around like Bruce Grobelaar or jump from side to side are 18 per cent more likely to make a save. 'As a theoretical physicist I am marginally more qualified to make predictions than Paul the Octopus,” said Professor Hawking, who was commissioned for the study by bookmakers Paddy Power and has donated his fee to charities. He’s going for Brazil to win it, by the way. A selection based on the fact that more than 30 per cent of World Cups have been won by the host nation. But he added: 'All science, mathematics and rational thought goes out of the window. I am an Englishman and I will be cheering our boys all the way to the final in Rio.' Graphical: The effect of home and away kits on England performances in the European Championships and World Cup . Historical data: This graph shows how England have fared in matches against opponents from each continent . Line up: Professor Hawking said that England should play 4-3-3 rather than 4-4-2, based on its success . Dancer: Luis Suarez gets less sympathy from referees as he is a 'ballerina', according to Hawking . Wobblers: And jelly-legged keepers, like Jerzy Dudek, are more likely to make a save . 'This will remain one of science's great mysteries': Professor Hawking said there is no evidence that it's advantageous to be left or right-footed but bald players and fair-haired players are more likely to score . Goalkeeper mobility: Players should place the ball in the top left or right hand corner when taking a penalty ."

Lampard is due to head to the MLS in January but an equalising goal against former club Chelsea at the weekend and two more in the 7-0 Capital One Cup rout of Sheffield Wednesday have pointed to the 36-year-old's value to City. Lampard's night took a turn for the peculiar when a pitch invader managed to grab a 'selfie' photograph with the former England star in the centre circle with the game still going on. Frank Lampard scored twice in 7-0 defeat of Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup third round . Lampard also scored against Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend, although he didn't celebrate . But talk turned more serious after the game when Pellegrini was asked about keeping Lampard for the whole season. 'It is an issue that we will see further down the line,' said the City manager. 'We will see what happens in January and we have two or three months to decide. 'He deserves all the praise he can get from the fans. 'We will do what is best for the team and the player. A fans also ran on to the pitch to take a selfie with the former Chelsea man, he was then taken away by police . 'We must talk about a lot of things, but it is not impossible for him to stay here.' After a scoreless first half, Lampard scored three minutes in the second period before winning a penalty on the hour and scoring again in injury time. Asked about the incident with the fan, Pellegrini said: 'He deserved the hug. 'He is a star in England and I'm very happy for him. 'For me, it is never difficult to put good players in the team. The problem is when you don't have the players. 'He is a very important player for our team and maybe, at 36, he cannot play three games in a row. But Frank is a top player.' Manuel Pellegrini said that Lampard could possibly stay with the club beyond January . Lampard is on loan at Manchester City from New York City FC, a club making their debut in the MLS .

A six year-old boy who was suspended from his school after he took a bag of Mini Cheddars in his packed lunch has now been expelled. Riley Pearson, from Colnbrook, near Slough, was initially excluded from Colnbrook C of E Primary School after teachers discovered the snack and called in his parents. After a meeting with headmaster Jeremy Meek, they were sent a letter telling them Riley would be excluded from last Wednesday until Monday because he had been 'continuously breaking school rules'. But his parents have now said he has been expelled after they spoke to the media, while his younger brother has also been banned from its pre-school. The school has insisted a pupil was not excluded 'for just having Mini Cheddars in their lunchbox' but because there had been a 'persistent and deliberate breach of . school policy, such as bringing in crisps, biscuits, sausage rolls, mini . sausages, scotch eggs and similar'. Riley’s dad, Tom Pearson, said he was 'devastated' that the school had not only deprived Riley of his schooling but also his younger brother who attends its pre-school. He added that a scheduled meeting between the family and headteacher Mr Meek, due to take place yesterday was cancelled when he arrived. Mr Pearson then saw Mr Meek in the school playground as he picked up Riley's brother Jayden from pre-school but Mr Meek told him he would telephone him by the end of the day to let him know what was happening. Minutes later Mr Pearson received a phone call telling him both Riley and Jayden were not welcome back at the school. 'I’m just devastated,' said Mr Pearson, last night. 'He rang and told me the decision had been made to exclude Riley permanently and we had given the school a bad reputation because of the media coverage. 'He also said the funded sessions Jayden has at the school’s pre school were being withdrawn too. I think he’s a coward for not telling me to my face.' 'Not balanced': Riley's lunchbox fell foul of the new healthy eating policy at Colnbrook C of E primary school . The airport worker and wife Natalie, who is due to give birth to her fourth child next week, are now waiting to hear from education officers from Slough Borough Council to see what to do next. In a statement the school said a pupil had been permanently excluded because 'during the course of a recent four day exclusion, . the pupil’s parents made it publicly clear that their child would not . be following the school's policy on healthy eating upon their return'. The . school also said the decision was taken because of 'the parent school . relationship suffering an irretrievable breakdown' due to 'misrepresentations in the local and national media . that were both wholly inaccurate and grossly misleading, abusive . language being used towards staff, and other inappropriate actions being . taken that were designed to damage the school’s reputation'. The school, which was placed in special measures after Ofsted inspectors deemed it 'inadequate' in 2012, introduced a healthy eating policy at the start of term. The school has said it was 'extremely disappointing that the media have been provided with such grossly misleading information' A letter was sent to parents saying that from January 14, packed lunches should be 'healthy and balanced'. Parents . were told: 'Chocolate, sweets, crisps and fizzy drinks are not allowed. If your child's lunchbox is unhealthy and unbalanced they will be . provided with a school lunch for which you will be charged.' A letter was sent to parents saying that from January 14, packed lunches should be 'healthy and balanced' At the time of his exclusion last . week, Riley's mother Natalie said: . 'We just do not see how they have the right to tell us what we can feed . our son. 'If anything, Riley is underweight and could do with putting on a few pounds.' Miss . Mardle, who is expecting her fourth child, added: 'Having a balanced . diet also includes eating some carbohydrates, sugars and fats. 'It is not about excluding some foods, it is about getting the mix right.' Riley’s lunchbox usually contains a . sandwich, yoghurt tube, Dairylea Dunkers cheese spread snack, and a . packet of Mini Cheddars, with water to drink. His . mother said the . 3ft 9ins tall schoolboy who weighs 3st 2lbs, eats home-cooked meals and . plenty of fruit and vegetables at home. Miss Mardle said: 'I would understand the exclusion if he was constantly throwing tables around or bullying other children, but it is just ridiculous for a packet of Mini Cheddars. 'Surely the headteacher has better things to do with his time than search lunchboxes?' A statement released by the school said it was 'extremely disappointing that the media have been provided with such grossly misleading information which has resulted in them running a wholly inaccurate and potentially damaging story for our school'. The statement said: 'We have not excluded a pupil for just having Mini Cheddars in their lunchbox, but where there is a persistent and deliberate breach of school policy, such as bringing in crisps, biscuits, sausage rolls, mini sausages, scotch eggs and similar, and all other avenues have been exhausted, the Governors would expect further action to be taken. Government guidelines for school meals suggest food must meet certain nutritional standards so children have healthy and balanced diets. According to the guidance, this means there must be high quality meat, poultry or oily-fish, at least two portions of fruit and vegetables with each meal and bread, other cereals and potatoes. It also rules out fizzy drinks, crisps, chocolate or sweets in school meals and vending machines along with more than two portions of deep-fried food a week. 'If we are faced with a situation where a parent threatens to send a pupil into school with insufficient food to sustain them throughout the school day, it is a risk we simply cannot afford to happen.' The statement went on to say it would only use a permanent exclusion as a final resort 'when all other avenues have been exhausted'. It said the school took the decision to permanently exclude a pupil yesterday because of 'persistent breaches of school policies' and because 'during the course of a recent four day exclusion, the pupil’s parents made it publicly clear that their child would not be following the school's policy on healthy eating upon their return'. The school also said the decision was taken because of: 'The parent school relationship suffering an irretrievable breakdown that would have put two pupils in an unacceptable position. 'This breakdown was due to misrepresentations in the local and national media that were both wholly inaccurate and grossly misleading, abusive language being used towards staff, and other inappropriate actions being taken that were designed to damage the school’s reputation.'"

Exclusive pictures obtained by Mail Online show one demonstrator relieving himself on a police car. Elsewhere we found piles of stinking refuse clogging Zuccotti Park, despite the best efforts of many of the protesters to keep the area clean. The shocking images demonstrate the extent to which conditions have deteriorated as demonstrations in downtown Manhattan enter their fourth week. Further pictures seen by Mail Online have been censored, as we deemed them too graphic to show. Raw sewer: An unidentified man seen defecates on a NYPD patrol car in downtown Manhattan . Smelly: Trash builds up at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations . Pile: The rubbish has been building up in Zuccotti Park for days now . According to eye witnesses, when people ran to tell nearby police about the man defecating on the squad car they were ignored. Standing downwind of the piles of rubbish, bankers walking past the man did a double take before hurrying away. Brookfield Office . Properties, which owns Zuccotti Park, the site of the New York . demonstration, have already railed against protesters, who they claim are creating sanitation problems. 'Sanitation . is a growing concern,' Brookfield said in a statement. Despite claiming to represent 'the 99 per cent', not all Americans are behind the Wall Street protests. But according to the Financial Times, the President himself is unofficially backing their cause. The paper wrote: 'While not endorsing the protests, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have expressed understanding of the movement that has spread rapidly across the country. 'Mr Obama said people were angry because Wall Street had not been 'following the rules'. 'His vice-president even compared the movement on Thursday to the Tea Party, the conservative movement which has upended national politics in the past two years.' 'Normally . the . park is cleaned and inspected every week night. . . because the . protesters refuse to cooperate. . .the park has not been cleaned since . Friday, September 16th and as a result, sanitary conditions have reached . unacceptable levels,' CBS News reported. Although . many of the protesters are understood to be making strenuous efforts to . clean up after themselves, after three weeks of occupation, the strain . of hundreds of people living on the street has begun to take its toll. The authorities today warned of a dramatic crackdown on Wall Street demonstrators, as the protests spread across America. NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly has promised that if protesters targeted the police, authorities will respond with 'force.' Kelly blamed activists for starting the skirmishes with police that led to 28 arrests yesterday. Most were arrested for disorderly behaviour, CBS News reported. Crackdown: Police have promised to get tough on protesters. At least 10 were arrested Friday outside Bank of America in downtown Manhattan . Spreading fury: A protester takes part in an \"Occupy Austin\" protest in Texas . 'They’re going to be met with force when they do that — this is just common sense,' Kelly said. 'These people wanted to have confrontation with the police for whatever reason. Somehow, I guess it works to their purposes.' Mayor . Bloomberg added his voice to the furore, accusing the Wall Street . demonstrators of putting the city's economy at risk, the New York Post . reported. New York mayor Michael Bloomberg attacked protesters today, saying the demonstrations were harming the city. He said: 'What they're trying to do is take the jobs away from people working in this city. 'They're trying to take away the tax base we have because none of this is good for tourism.' Rubbish dump: Trash has built up in spite of best efforts by some demonstrators . Spreading disorder: Unrest is growing in a dozen US cities including Austin, Texas (pictured) Harsh backlash: The authorities have promised a crackdown on Wall Street demonstrators such as this one in Broadway, New York . 'What they're trying to do is take the jobs away from people working in this city,' the mayor said. 'They're trying to take away the tax base we have because none of this is good for tourism.' 'If the jobs they are trying to get rid of in this city -- the people that work in finance, which is a big part of our economy-- we're not going to have any money to pay our municipal employees or clean the blocks or anything else.' Supporter: American television personality and political commentator Keith Olbermann visits the protest . Growing discontent: Protesters gather in Minneapolis as authorities accuse demonstrators of putting the economy at risk . Wide ranging issues: The protests have covered a wide range of issues. Anti-Obama demonstrator in Jersey City . Union support: Protestor Julia Botello, 85, shouts as she leaves a Bank of America branch in downtown Los Angeles . Protests against corporate greed and economic inequality spread across America on Thursday. The Occupy Wall Street movement, that began in New York last month with a few people, has now swelled to protests in more than a dozen cities. They included Tampa, Florida; Trenton and Jersey City, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Norfolk, Virginia in the East; to Chicago and St. Louis in the Midwest; Houston, San Antonio and Austin in Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; and Portland, Oregon, Seattle and Los Angeles in the West. Spreading unrest: Protesters gather on the front steps of the Idaho Capitol in Boise, Idaho on Wednesday . Coming down hard: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (R) and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly have promised a crackdown . Widening demonstrations: Protests have now spread across many major cities in America such as Las Vegas, shown here . Protesters have raged against corporate greed and influence over American life, the gap between rich and poor, and hapless, corrupt politicians. 'I'm fed up with the government, I'm fed up with the bailouts. If I fail at my job, I don't get a bonus -- I get fired,' said Tim Lucas, 49, vice president of a software company, who was protesting in Austin. Hundreds of people have been arrested in New York since the protests began last month. On Wednesday, the biggest crowd so far of about 5,000 people marched on New York's financial district, and police used pepper spray on some protesters. But protests for the most part have been non-violent. Organisers predict momentum will continue to build, as labour movements join the growing numbers. 'This is the beginning,' said John Preston in Philadelphia, business manager for Teamsters Local 929. 'Teamsters will support the movement city to city.' Hula girl: A female protester entertains the passing crowds at Wall Street . Solidarity: Protester affiliated with the Occupy Las Vegas movement, takes part in a march earlier this week . Moral outrage: The demonstrators are protesting what they believe is greed and corruption among banking and business leaders . In Philadelphia, up to 1,000 protesters chanted and waved placards reading: 'I did not think 'By the People, For the People' meant 1 percent,' a reference to their argument the country's top few have too much wealth and political power. In Los Angeles, more than 100 protesters crowded outside a Bank of America branch downtown, while a smaller group dressed in business attire slipped inside and pitched a tent. Eleven were arrested when they refused to remove the tent. In Washington, protesters carried signs that read: 'Human Needs, Not Corporate Greed' and 'Stop the War on Workers.' 'I believe the American dream is truly in jeopardy,' said protester Darrell Bouldin, 25, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. 'There are so many people like me in Tennessee who are fed up with the Wall Street gangsters.' In San Antonio, protesters gathered at the city's Confederate War Veterans Monument and chanted: 'The banks got bailed out, we got sold out.'"

"value": "Sir Cliff Richard suffered a 65 per cent drop in airplay of his songs on UK radio stations since his home was raided over child sex allegations . Sir Cliff Richard has suffered a 'significant drop' in the number of times his songs have been played on the radio in the UK since his home was raided as part of a child sex abuse investigation. The BBC filmed the raid of Sir Cliff's Berkshire mansion and broadcast the coverage live after striking a deal with South Yorkshire Police over the planned search. A reporter had contacted the force weeks before the planned search in August about the top secret investigation. However the pop star's reputation may have been damaged by the very public revelations about the search - because his airplay has dropped by around 65 per cent in the UK since it took place. An analysis of radio airplay, by BBC Radio 5 Live using figures from Radio Monitor, found that there has been a 65 per cent drop in the number of times Sir Cliff songs have been played on BBC and commercial radio stations in the last three months. A friend of Sir Cliff told MailOnline: ‘The BBC identified Sir Cliff in collusion with police, flouting the guidelines that people should not be named before they are charged. By stopping playing his records they have caused him further serious harm and are happy to compound it by highlighting the damage they themselves have caused.’ Since August 14 - when the raid took place - records by the number one singer have been played 1,800 times by UK radio stations. This is a 65 per cent drop from the more than 5,000 times his records were given airtime during the same period the year before. Even taking into account Sir Cliff's album release last year, the figures suggest his success has been hampered by the raid. In 2012 his records were played around 4,500 times during this three month period - a 60 per cent fall to today's figures. A representative for Sir Cliff, 74, said they 'acknowledged the BBC has confirmed the unlawful naming of Sir Cliff Richard and disproportionate coverage' of the raids at his £3m mansion has caused him 'serious harm.' The corporation was heavily criticised for its live coverage of the raid, which appeared to show BBC cameras ready at the gates of Sir Cliff's Berkshire mansion before police arrived. The Home Select Committee described South Yorkshire Police's handling of the raid as inept. Scroll down for video . It later emerged a reporter from the BBC had contacted the force asking about a planned raid and police said they felt they needed to strike the unusual deal to prevent the corporation reporting the facts anyway, and potentially jeopardising the investigation into allegations that Sir Cliff had sexually assaulted a boy at a 1980s concert. South Yorkshire Police admitted striking the 'unprecedented deal' for the BBC to show live coverage of the raid in return for them holding their story until it took place. Sir Cliff – who strongly denies all the allegations – also expressed anger that the BBC was tipped off about the search before he was. At the time of the search he had been at his villa in Portugal. BBC reporter David Sillito is shown covering the raid by police of Sir Cliff's Berkshire Mansion in August . The BBC was criticised after it appeared to be ready to film the raid in Sunningdale before police arrived . Sir Cliff was in Portugal when his Berkshire mansion was searched and was angry the BBC were tipped off . The singer has never been arrested or charged in respect of the claims. The BBC said the Home Select Committee had already endorsed the way the broadcaster covered the raids. A spokeswoman said: 'There has been no change to our music policy and Cliff Richard’s songs have been played throughout the year across BBC stations.' Sir Cliff has sold 250 million records worldwide and won countless awards, including a lifetime achievement Brit Award. He has also achieved number ones throughout five decades with The Young Ones, Summer Holiday, We Don't Talk Anymore, Misletoe and Wine and Millennium Prayer. He returned to the studio in October - the first time since the raid was broadcast live by the BBC- to record his 101st album. After the revelations the police criticised the BBC for its ‘disappointing’ failure to make it clear the police had not been the original source of the story. However the broadcaster said it had followed journalistic practice in agreeing not to broadcast a story that could jeopardise an inquiry. Following the raid a producer at BBC Radio Solent sent an email to staff instructing them to delete from their playlists any of the pop legend’s songs to 'avoid embarrassment.' This was criticised by MPs and the public."

A student at Arkansas State University, Eaton was impaled while at a rush event, WMC reported, and was seen last month using a wheelchair. A campus police incident report, excerpts of which were published by KAIT, said a 20-year-old man at the event struck a flying football with the golf club.

'It was a freak accident which is basically the only way to describe it,' Riddle also told KAIT. 'There's no way you could have even imagined that that's what would have happened. I feel terrible for him and his family. That's going to be really hard to deal with.' Eaton is receiving treatment from the Shepherd's Center, WMC reported."

Residents in Bellingham, Washington, say they are annoyed with large numbers of visitors driving across the border to stock up on gas and food. The nearest towns north of Bellingham are Abbotsford and Surrey in British Columbia - just 30 miles away over the border. Canadian residents can take advantage of their strong dollar against the weak U.S. currency and buy food and fuel for less than they would at home. Scroll down for video . Busy: A picture posted on Facebook protest page calling for U.S. only opening hours at Costco a Costco in Bellingham, WA, shows a long queue with many Canadians . Tensions: Local customers have complained that the Canadians are 'rude' when they bombard the shop to buy cheap milk and gas . Residents angry at the 'rude Canadians' have now started a Facebook page calling for them to be banned during certain times. The site, named 'Bellingham Costco needs a special time just for Americans', shows pictures of cars with BC plates taking up two parking spaces. It also has images of a packed shop floor with large numbers of people queuing. While a video shows the frantic scrabble to buy milk after a crate of it is unloaded into the shop. So far it is attracted 2,158 likes as dozens of residents back the campaign. A large group of Canadians scramble to buy cases of milk from the Costco store. A video of the scenes - which have angered residents - have been uploaded onto the Facebook protest page . Almost gone: Within seconds the milk has disappeared as Canadian customers load their carts with the dairy product, which is cheaper in the U.S. than it is in Canada . The Canadian Dollar has seen five successive weeks of gains against its U.S. counterpart and currently buys around at 99.11 cents per U.S. dollar. One Canadian dollar buys $1.009. This is up from year lows of 94 cents per Canadian dollar last September. The creator of the Facebook page wrote: 'To our Canadian friends on here that think we hate you: You have to look at the root of the problem. 'Bellingham has laws that keep big box companies from expanding. The overcrowding in this small, slow paced town has agitated people.' Several spoof pictures have been published there poking fun at Canadians, who are portrayed as people taking all the milk. Protest: The Facebook page calling for Canadians to be banned at certain times from a Costco store . This map shows the short distance between Bellingham in Washington and the nearest town of Abbotsford in British Columbia in Canada . Sterling Edkins wrote: 'Almost every time I go to a store I come very close to getting run over by an impatient Canadian. 'They don't want to stop and let you cross instead they accelerate to try and get in front of you then slam on the breaks and stop in front of you to turn down the row. 'Pedestrians have the right of way in parking lots! Oh and by the way merging on the freeway YOU have to yield not the person already doing the speed limit.' But Dyanna Zimmer retaliated by pointing out that there are lots of Americans who visit Canada for financial perks. 'Rude': A photograph on the Facebook protest page shows a car with British Columbia plates parked inconsiderately across two spaces . Spoof: A cartoon uploaded online shows a figure with a Canadian flag buying all the milk . Joke: A second picture posted on Facebook depicts Canadians as wanting to buy all the 'f****** milk from the Bellingham Costco' She wrote: 'You don't see any rude comments coming from Canadians about all the Americans coming to White Rock for affordable prescriptions and medical care.' Officials at the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce also defended Canadians. Ken Oplinger told CBC News that they bring in tax revenues and 'without them the living situation in the city would be quite different'. He added: 'In the last two years, our sales tax generation has doubled or tripled the pace in the rest of the state, and its almost entirely because of the Canadians coming south.' A Costco spokesman said the store wanted to expand to take into account the extra customers from Canada but could not do so at its current site because there is not enough room. They also ruled out introducing opening times just for Americans. However, they have employed an off-duty police officer two days a week to control the crowds parking at the store during busy periods."

However, it's not often the newborn lambs begin to favour their newfound human surroundings over grassy fields and hay-filled barns. But, that’s exactly what’s happened to one youngster, who is now having an ‘identity crisis’ after preferring to be more like his dog playmate. Scroll down for video . Keith, the 'sheep dog', was taken in by 19-year-old Anna Burton (together above with the family's other dogs) when he was born prematurely at the family's farm in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, in February this year . The lamb was unwell when he was born and was cared for by Miss Burton, being nursed back to good health . Keith now lives with the family and enjoys taking part in activities with the dogs, including walks in the fields . Keith, the 'sheep dog', was taken in by Anna Burton when he was born prematurely at the family's farm in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, in February this year. Miss Burton, 19, only brought the newborn into the house in order to take care of him as he was abandoned by his mother and was a 'very small' lamb. Since then, Keith has adjusted to life indoors and has been spotted stealing food from the dogs' bowls, watching TV and snuggling up for cuddles with his owner. Miss Burton, a college student, said the lamb now gets on so well with the family dog, Toby, that they are often found playing together on the farm. She said: 'He was born prematurely at the end of February this year to a sheep who we thought was having twins, but actually had triplets. He even shares the dog's bowl with the family's other six dogs and likes to spend time in the family home . Miss Burton said he enjoys watching TV, having cuddles with her and eating dog food with the other animals . He has formed a strong bond with the family's dog, Toby, and they can often be seen playing together . 'We didn't find Keith for a few hours by which point he wasn't very well and was too small to get milk from his mum. 'He spent about one week learning how to stand up and lived inside for over a month, usually just sitting by the dogs or on the sofa with me. 'Our dog Toby used to get very protective of people touching him or going near him. 'He and Keith get on well together now and I often find him in the barn with him.' It is not the first time the family has brought a lamb into the house, but never before has one made themselves at home as much as Keith. Miss Burton said Keith, who has grown considerably since February, enjoys walks with the family's dogs . She said: ''Our dog Toby used to get very protective of people touching him or going near him' The family have moved Keith to a barn outside the family home, but said he is often found wandering back in . The family currently have six dogs but Keith believes himself to be the seventh member of the pack. Miss Burton said: 'Keith has fit right in with the dogs. They are all still very protective of him even though he is actually bigger than them now. 'It must be confusing for them because Keith thinks he is one of them. The other sheep don't like him very much though. 'Keith sits and waits for his food just like the dogs and whenever he saw one of them jump onto the sofa he would try and jump up too. He would also come for walks round the fields too.' Miss Burton is used to having sheep around, having grown up around them on the farm, and has gained vast experience through her childhood in looking after them. Keith was rather unwell and fragile when he was born in February (pictured) and was taken in by the family . He was nursed back to health in the family's home, where Miss Burton fed him up and kept him warm . Miss Burton has grown up with lambs on the farm her whole life (pictured above as a youngster with a lamb) Miss Burton has developed a strong bond with Keith (together above) after nursing him back to good health . The pair even snuggle up on the sofa together, although Keith has grown remarkably since he was a baby . She is currently studying for a business and management degree at Harrogate College but is looking to go into vet nursing next year. Due to his current size, Keith is now too big to live in the house and is currently living in a barn with three other sheep, who were also unwell when they were born. However, keeping Keith out of the house has proved difficult for the family as at any opportunity, the 'sheep dog' likes to wander in. Miss Burton added: 'He lives in a barn outside with three other sheep. 'Although, Keith does still like to come for a wander in the house when he gets the chance. 'He just generally really enjoys human company.' Miss Burton said Keith, the 'sheep dog' is often found trotting in and out of the family home as he pleases . He is now almost fully-grown and has been moved to a barn on the farm, where he lives with other sheep . Despite his new home, he loves popping back in to the main house for food and to see his owners and dogs ."

This is the belief of a group of physicians, who came up with the ‘sitting-rising test’ to measure their patients’ flexibility and strength. They developed a scoring system for the test and found that people who scored three points or less out of 10, were more than five times as likely to die within six years, as those who scored more than eight points. Scroll down for video . The simple exercise of sitting down and standing up again without holding onto anything, could suggest how long you have to live. This diagram shows how to take the 'sitting rising test' Claudio Gil Araujo, of Gama Filho University in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was among the doctors who originally developed the sitting rising test (SRT) to quickly assess the flexibility of athletes, but he now uses it to persuade his patients that they need to stay active to maintain their muscle and balance, and live longer, Discover Magazine reported. As we age, our muscles tend to become weaker and a loss of balance means we are increasingly likely to fall. Current ways to test frailty can be time-consuming, impractical and inaccurate for small doctors’ surgeries, but experts are keen to keep older people moving. Dr Araujo says that anyone can take the SRT because no equipment is needed. A video explaining how the sitting standing test works, although caution should be exercised if you give it a try . As we age, our muscles tend to become weaker and a loss of balance means we are increasingly likely to fall. Doctors are keen for older people to keep exercising - a stock image of a class in Florida is pictured . In a study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, the researchers described how 2002 adults aged between 51 and 80 took the SRT at Clinimex Exercise Medicine Clinic in Rio. They found that patients who scored fewer than eight points out of 10 on the test, were twice as likely to die within the next six years, compared with people with more perfect scores. One point was deducted each time a person used their hand or knee for support to either sit down or stand up, while half a point was deducted for losing their balance. The experts found that people who scored three points or fewer, were more than five times as likely to die within the same period. They wrote in the study: ‘Musculoskeletal fitness, as assessed by SRT, was a significant predictor of mortality in 51–80-year-old subjects.’ The study found that every point increase in the test, was linked to a 21 per cent decrease in mortality from all causes. However, chartered physio-therapist Sammy Margo said that the exercise may be 'quite ambitious' for older people in the UK. This is possibly because of cultural differences, because Britons are not used to regularly sitting on the floor, like in some other cultures. In this way, it may not be terribly accurate at predicting life expectancy. She told MailOnline that there is a risk that people with early signs of arthritis in the knee could feel the strain when trying the exercise, which she described as 'quite hard work'. 'The advice is not to endorse the test – it sounds as if it is somewhat simplistic and it is not widely used,' she said. UK physiotherapists tend to prefer another test, where patients stand up from a sitting position and see how many times they can repeat the action in 30 seconds. 'The \"30 second chair test\" is more appropriate and is used as a prognostic,' she said. 'It's simplistic, quick and easy and gives a good indicator for falls.' The test measures leg strength and endurance - which are needed to move around without falling - rather than flexibility and agility like the SRT. Healthy people aged between 60 and 64 are expected to stand and sit more than 12 times for women and 14 times for men in 30 seconds. A good score for a 90 to 94-year-old is siting and standing more than seven times for man and four times for women. While Ms Margo did not recommend the SRT, she said it does 'address everything' in terms of a person's strength and flexibility."

The Wolf’s Lair, located in the Masurian woods in northeastern Poland, has been open to the public since the end of World War II, but mainly for much criticised paintball games or as an indoor shooting range. It was one of Hitler’s key military headquarters during the war. But is most famous as the place Colonel Claus von . Stauffenberg tried to kill the dictator by placing a briefcase bomb . underneath the table during a staff meeting on July 20, . 1944. New image: Tourists wander around the remains of the Wolf's Lair in Poland, which will now open as a museum to educate visitors about its history . The plan was to kill Hitler and replace him with a government which would negotiate a truce with the Allies, ending the war. Having left the conference for a pre-arranged phone call, Colonel von Stauffenberg, whose fate was thrown back into the spotlight due to 2008 movie Valkyrie starring Tom Cruise, left the hut shortly before the bomb detonated. However, a staff officer had moved the briefcase shortly after von Stauffenberg’s departure which saw Hitler protected from the blast and the dictator survived with minor injuries. Von Stauffenberg was captured and . executed alongside three conspirators and all their relatives were sent . to concentration camps. A total of 200 were executed as a result of the assassination attempt. Overgrown: Part of one of the derelict bunkers on the 600 acre complex which once had its own train station . Title: Wolf's Lair, Wolfsschanze in German, was named after Hitler's self-appointed nickname: Herr Wolff . Four months after the bomb, Wolf's Lair was destroyed by the Nazi forces as the Soviet Red army advanced in 1945. Soon after it became a tourist attraction. Nearly 70 years later, due to lax . legislation, tours of the overgrown bunkers have been less informative . than the Polish Government see fit and tourists can even pose for . photographs in Nazi uniforms. ‘At this moment, one does not feel the tragic dimension of this place,’ historian Tomasz Chinciski told The New York Times.

In a bid to profit from ‘Nazi . tourism’, Wolf’s Nest, a private company, built a restaurant, a hotel . and even an indoor shooting range located in the offices of General Alfred .

Andressa Urach, is in a 'serious condition' in a hospital in the southern city of Porto Alegre after removing gel from her thighs, which had previously been injected for cosmetic purposes. The 27-year-old's surgery wounds became infected following a second operation to drain her thighs and she is currently being sedated, her mother Marisete De Favari said. Botched surgery: After discovering that the fillers in her legs were causing her leg muscles to rot, Miss Urach made several attempts to 'drain' the thighs, but instead they became infected . Miss Urach tweeted this picture from her hospital bed at the weekend, but her condition worsened on Tuesday and she went into septic shock . Miss Urach came second in the 2012 Miss Bumbum competition, which scours Brazil for the most attractive behind in the land. Ahead of the competition, Miss Urach, who hit headlines around the world after claiming she had had an affair with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, a claim he strenuously denied, had injected two types of 'body fillers', hydrogel and PMMA, into the upper legs to fill out the thighs and lift her bottom. In July this year the model discovered that the products were causing her leg muscles to rot, leaving her in excruciating pain. In an interview with Brazil's R7 website, she said: 'The hydrogel was not absorbed by my body and started to harm me. Now I've discovered that the PMMA is sticking to my muscles and causing the tissue to rot. 'That's why I am feeling such strong pains. I'm taking morphine every four hours and antibiotics to alleviate the suffering.' All personality: Miss Bumbum runner-up Andressa Urach, underwent surgery to remove two types of 'bodyfillers' which she had injected into her legs to enlarge her bottom and thighs . Miss Urach underwent an operation in July to drain 400ml of hydrogel from each leg, but the model continued to complain of discomfort and pain. On Saturday she was rushed to the Conceicao Hospital in Porto Alegre with an advanced infection of her left leg. She underwent two unsuccessful drainage procedures on Sunday and Monday, according to reports. On Tuesday, Miss Urach went into septic shock and was taken to the intensive care ward, where she remains sedated in a 'serious' state. The thigh augmentation surgery was one of at least nine cosmetic procedures the Miss Bumbum runner-up had done in the last five years, according to reports. They included a nose job, a bioplasty facial 'correction', jaw reduction, boob job, liposuction and even vaginal lip reduction. A friend of Ms Urach, who didn't want to be named, said the TV presenter had been unable to perform physical exercises for four months. She said: 'She was always in a lot of pain. She knew that the liquid was dripping inside of her and she didn't want to use shorts or miniskirt.' Another Miss BumBum contestant, Jessica Lopes, who shared a flat with Ms Urach, said: 'Everyone is in a state shock. 'Andressa and I would go to the plastic surgeon as if we were going shopping. Sometimes we would agree to do some procedure together, we were not afraid. We were slaves to beauty.' Claim to fame: Miss Urach came second in the 2012 Miss Bumbum competition and hit headlines around the world after claiming she had had an affair with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo . Ms Urach's agent, Cacau Oliver, who is also the creator of the Miss BumBum competition, on Monday night asked fans of the model to pray for her. He said: 'We are all praying fervently, now is the time to pray.' And Ms Urach's mother, Marisete De Favari, who hasn't left her daughter's bedside, last night thanked fans or their messages of support but asked the to keep praying. She wrote on her Facebook page: 'A beautiful, intelligent woman, a girl full of dreams, who has fought to get where she is, who never gave up even though nothing was easy, who just wants the best for her family, a girl who fears God. 'For this, I am certain, by by faith, that she will be cured. Thank you all from the heart and I ask that you keep praying, because this will be one more fight and my baby will come through it victorious.' Miss Andressa infuriated Real Madrid striker Ronaldo in April last year by claiming he had cheated on girlfriend Irina Shayk with her. She said the footballer slept with her in a hotel just 48 hours before a Champions League semi final which his team lost 4-1 to German side Borussia Dortmund. The Portuguese winger, 29, took to his Facebook page to say he was 'deeply outraged.' He accused Andressa in a statement of 'pure fiction and forgery' and 'seeking the limelight on my account' and insisted he was at the Madrid hotel she claimed they made love at for an interview with a reporter. The pretty brunette greeted him wearing only a coat of patriotic Portuguese red and green body paint when he arrived at his country's base camp hotel in Caminas near Sao Paulo at the start of the World Cup in June. Six days later she was ejected from Portugal's public training session at a nearby football stadium and told to stay away from the Real Madrid star."

And the Barcelona star got a taste of the ball he hopes to win the World Cup with during training at Brazil's training base on Wednesday. Chelsea's Oscar and former team-mate David Luiz were among the players who used the Brazuca ball while training alongside Neymar as the squad were assembled on the pitch for the first time since joining up for the World Cup. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Neymar and Brazil team-mates receiving World Cup medicals . Skills test: Oscar (left) and Neymar (centre) juggle with the Brazuca World Cup ball in training on Wednesday . Keep up: Dani Alves (second right) also got a taste of the official World Cup ball at Granja Comary . Likes what he sees? Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari (centre) casts his eye over his squad . Goalkeeper Julio Cesar has backed the official World Cup ball, playing down possible worries over the performance of the adidas-made Brazuca. 'The ball is a good one, we had contact with it today,' the former Inter Milan and Queens Park Rangers player said of the Brazuca, which is a playfully slang word for native Brazilians. 'I think the outfield players are going to like it too,' he added. His comments at Brazil's Granja Comary training complex, which is in Teresopolis 90km outside Rio de Janeiro, were in sharp contrast to four years ago when he and other players criticised the Jabulani ball, which was used in the South Africa World Cup. Orders: Scolari gives instructions to Neymar as the Samba stars build up towards the World Cup . You're supposed to use your feet! The Brazil players get their hands on the Brazuca ball for some exercises . What's the secret, Phil? Scolari whispers to technical coordinator Carlos Alberto Parreira (left) That ball, he said, was too light and moved about in the air. It was 'terrible, horrible, like a ball you buy in the supermarket,' he added. Julio Cesar had a miserable campaign at the 2010 finals where his mistake contributed to Brazil's elimination by the Netherlands at the quarter-final stage. But the 34-year-old, who is now plying his trade with FC Toronto in U.S. Major League Soccer, said he had worked hard to recover his confidence after that career low point. Glove affair: Goalkeeper Julio Cesar eyes the new Brazuca ball during training in Teresopolis . Still like it, Julio? The keeper gestures after a ball is struck past him and into the net . Back of the net: Goalkeeper Jefferson stretches for the ball but can't prevent a goal during training . 'Supermarket ball': The infamous Jabulani ball was used at the 2010 World Cup . 'Sometimes too much confidence can trip you up, and I say that from experience,' he said. 'After the World Cup, in addition to our elimination, I had problems with Inter and with Queens Park Rangers. I had to be very strong in order to be here today. 'I am a much better player than four years ago,' he said. 'Although I had the rank of best goalkeeper in the world in 2010 I feel like I am much better prepared today. You always have to take something positive from adversity.' What a way to travel: Brazil's method of transport during the World Cup has been revealed . Perfect branding: Brazilian airline Gol has provided the Boeing 737-800 for the national team's travel . Bright: The plane was painted by The Twins - graffiti artists and identical brothers Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo . Scolari's planning has been meticulous and this was evident when his squad arrived. The stars had a medical check-up at Granja Comary, dubbed the Brazil Lab. Luiz, on the verge of a £50m move from Chelsea to PSG, had his mouth and ears checked up, while his soon-to-be club-mate Thiago Silva got the same treatment as the squad were put through stringent fitness tests. Meanwhile, the team's method of transport has been revealed for the World Cup: a spectacular painted airplane branded with the team badge. The plane, a Boeing 737-800 provided by Brazilian airline Gol - was painted by The Twins, graffiti artists and identical twin brothers Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo. Their design features faces that represent the Brazilian people."

A woman who woke up one day to find she was unable to move or speak has overcome her ordeal and forged a successful modelling career. Hayley-Eszti Szucs, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, was struck down with a severe case of ME - a chronic fatigue syndrome which affects the brain and nervous and immune systems - on Boxing Day 2011. The 22-year-old was on holiday in Spain at the time with her boyfriend Alex, who called an ambulance when the left side of her face dropped. She was rushed to hospital, where Hayley said she was unable to move or respond to the panic around her, leaving her feeling as though she was 'trapped inside my body'. 'My boyfriend, Alex, is Spanish, so were out there visiting his family for Christmas,' she said. 'We'd had a lovely time celebrating, but the day after Boxing Day, I remember waking up and just knowing instantly something was wrong. 'My boyfriend tried to speak to me but he could tell straight away that I was seriously ill. 'I couldn't respond to him at all and the left side of my face began to droop. Alex called an ambulance and I was rushed to hospital. 'I remember doctors speaking to me and asking me if I knew where I was, but I couldn't say anything to them. 'I had no way of communicating so my boyfriend had to give the hospital permission to carry out tests and investigations. Hayley, pictured in hospital in 2011, after waking up 'trapped' inside her body, unable to communicate . Hayley was in hospital in Spain for four weeks before she was able to return home . 'It was like I was trapped inside my own body.' Hayley had to lie in a hospital bed, unable to move or respond to the panic going on around her. 'I wanted to say things and tell people how I was feeling but I couldn't. It was horrible - I could hear people talking about me and asking me questions but it was impossible to respond. 'It was the scariest experience of my life.' While in hospital, medics carried out a variety of tests, including a brain scan and a lumbar puncture, to determine the cause of her symptoms. Hayley found solace when writing her blog where she first noticed a lack of disabled models in the media . But Hayley's condition stumped doctors, and it wasn't until a year later that she finally received a diagnosis. 'I stayed in Spain for four weeks, and when I finally started to improve, I just wanted to come home,' Hayley said. 'I was able to speak again, but my movement was still really bad - I had to be carried out of the hospital - and I was experiencing up to 20 seizures a day. 'As my case was so unusual, even the doctors back home were unsure of what was wrong with me, but I was eventually diagnosed with ME via a process of elimination.' Although she was relieved to finally now the causes behind her condition, Hayley was left feeling hopeless. Hayley has been able to a successful career as a disabled model . Although Hayley has vastly improved she still requires a wheelchair from time to time . 'It was bitter sweet to get a diagnosis - I finally had answers but to hear the term incurable was really hard - I hadn't even considered that I wouldn't get better. 'A couple of days after I was told that news it suddenly hit me and I just burst into tears, I didn't understand why it was happening to me. 'I just thought of how I would lose my independence as I would need a wheelchair, and my life would never be the same again, it was awful.' As Hayley began to come to terms with her condition, she started writing a blog, which now attracts more than 10,000 followers every month. Hayley says her online diary enabled her to express herself during the tough time. Left, Hayley before her illness in 2011, right: shows the effect the illness has on Hayley . Although Hayley still battles with her illness she says she is determined not to let it take over her life . Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) causes persistent fatigue (exhaustion) that affects everyday life and doesn't go away with sleep or rest. CFS is also known as ME, which stands for myalgic encephalomyelitis. Myalgia means muscle pain and encephalomyelitis means inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. CFS is a serious condition that can cause long-term illness and disability, but many people – particularly children and young people – improve over time. Source: NHS . 'The blog was a coping mechanism, as it was a relief to be able to write about what I was going through. 'I started getting some great feedback and to hear I was inspiring others was a big achievement.' As well as attracting a phenomenal readership, Hayley's blog opened her eyes to the disabled modelling industry. 'Soon after I started blogging I noticed that you rarely see people in wheelchairs, or disabled models, online or in magazines. 'It made me want to get into modelling - I just thought there was no reason not too.' A determined Hayley ventured into the industry and was met with huge success. 'I put myself out there and now I often have stylists and make-up artists inviting me to do shoots with them, and I'm hoping to pursue a professional careers further. 'I also work with Models of Diversity to challenge main stream brands to use more disabled models in their campaigns.' Hayley says that her ordeal has made her even more determined to succeed and refuses to let her illness prevent her from further success. 'When I look back on everything I've been through - literally waking up one morning to a completely different world - I'm proud that I've made it through it all. 'ME still dominates my life, but it's not who I am - I'm determined to follow my dreams, and show people that nothing can hold you back.' 'I'm just showing that my illness won't define me.'"

Happy newlyweds Joke, 29, Bell, 21 and Art, 26, took the plunge on Valentine's Day after exchanging their vows in a fairy-tale ceremony at their home in Uthai Thani Province, Thailand. The three blushing grooms are thought to be the world's only wedded male threesome and have since become internet sensations after photos from their big day went viral. Bell, Art and Joke pictured together after tying the knot in the world's first three-way same-sex marriage . The newlyweds took the plunge on Valentines Day when they exchanged vows in Uthai Thani, Thailand . The trio consummated their love under Buddhist law in the ceremony as same-sex marriages are not recognised as legitimate under Thai law . In what they described as the happiest day of their lives, the three men were suited and booted for the ceremony in which they exchanged rings after walking down the aisle. Bell, From Phitsanulok Province, said: 'I think we are first three-way same sex males to have a wedding, possibly in the world. 'Some people may not agree and are probably amazed by our decision, but we believe many people do understand and accept our choice. Love is love, after all.' Although same-sex marriages are not recognised as legitimate under Thai law, the trio were able to consummate their love under Buddhist law in the symbolic ceremony. Art, from Chiang Mai Province, met Joke, from Uthai Thani Province, through business and started a relationship after realising their love for each other while working closely together in 2010. Both men knew they were gay before they met and have been living together for the past five years. Meanwhile Bell, who was studying management at Phitsanuloke University, frequently met the couple at parties before the three men realised they all started to have feelings for each other. But after Bell was hospitalised with a congenital disease, the threesome became inseparable leading Joke and Art to propose the idea of a three-way marriage. The only condition was that Joke and Art must ask Bell's parents for his hand in marriage. Art said: 'When Bell was in hospital, it became clear that we all had a lot of feelings for each other. The newlyweds pose for a photograph on their wedding day after falling in love during their time at university . Pictured from left to right, Joke, Art and Bell said many people accepted and understood their situation . 'We thought what better way to show our love for each other by getting married. 'It might seem strange to some, but many people understand our bond and the reasons we got married. In Thailand, same-sex unions are not legally binding, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons may face legal challenges on their sexual freedoms as same-sex couples are still frowned upon. However, more LGBT rights are applicable than ever before in the country, one of the most tolerant countries in Asia, with religious groups declaring their support for civil marriages between gay and lesbian couples. Joke, Bell and Art were joined together under Buddhist Law in a ceremony that was not legally registered. The ceremony included the traditional exchange of vows in which the trio declared their love for each other, and in doing so, agreed to share their home and responsibilities. The three men believe same-sex marriages are just as valid as any other legally sanctioned ceremony . According to Joke, same-sex marriages are just as valid as any legally sanctioned ceremony and are treated as such. He said: 'Now Thai society has a better understanding of sexual orientation as many same-sex weddings appear on TV, newspapers and social media, we feel more accepted and able to come out. 'But I don't believe the world has ever seen three men marry before, this is something new. 'Most people all around us can accept that and many people have given us their blessing. 'We love each other and live together like brothers; hopefully this is something the world can understand in the 21st century.'"

"value": "New Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal will meet with Ryan Giggs to thrash out the Old Trafford legend’s future at the club. The veteran Dutch coach will leave the Holland squad’s training base near Amsterdam and travel to a secret destination in Europe to meet with Giggs and United chief executive Ed Woodward. Van Gaal will officially be unveiled as United’s new manager Thursday or Friday and the club will then reveal who will join the 62-year-old on the coaching staff. VIDEO Scroll down for Holland coach Louis van Gaal names World Cup squad . Showdown: Ryan Giggs wiill meet with Louis van Gaal for crunch talks over his Manchester United future . Incoming: Van Gaal, expected to be announced as United boss, will talk with Giggs about his role . With Phil Neville and goalkeeping coach Chris Woods on the way out and Nicky Butt, and perhaps Paul Scholes, expected to head back to coach the club’s Under 18s, it is Giggs’ future that remains shrouded in doubt. Van Gaal is expected to offer the 40-year-old a coaching role at the meeting and will tell him that he wants someone on the staff who knows the club and its players. However, whether or not Giggs decides to stay will depend on whether he thinks the role he is offered is senior enough. He has already indicated privately that he will not stick around if he thinks he is not going to be a fundamental part of the set-up. Van Gaal is currently in the thick of preparing the Dutch team for a friendly with Ecuador on Saturday and the World Cup finals in Brazil next month. On the block: Phil Neville has left and Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt are facing questions over their future . Switch: Van Gaal announced his Holland team will play a 5-3-2 at the World Cup in Brazil . He revealed a shock change in tactics, from the traditional Dutch 4-3-3 to a seemingly more defensive 5-3-2, at a press conference in Hoenderloo on Tuesday — but refused to say much about United. ‘That is for Manchester United to comment on,’ he said. ‘No, I would not say anything about it. I am here for the Dutch team, not as coach of Manchester United. You’ll have to wait until the process is finished or (put) questions to Manchester United — or perhaps to another club. I cannot say anything further.’ The Dutch players have a day off Wednesday, enabling Van Gaal to meet with Giggs and Woodward to discuss the way forward. Different directions: Phil Neville (left) will be cut from the coaching staff, though he hasn't been told formally, while Paul Scholes will have a meeting on Thursday to discuss his future role at the club . Scholes will attend a meeting at the club on Thursday but MailOnline revealed that Neville and Woods will not be retained by Van Gaal, even though Neville was at Carrington Tuesday and has still not been informed officially. Neville and Woods got the news minutes after Rio Ferdinand was informed by Woodward his United career was over in the dressing room at Southampton on Sunday. Neville was approached by Woodward as he emerged from the shower. He wasn’t told he too was finished at Old Trafford but he might as well have been. Woodward said there might be a role for him outside the first team; possibly in the academy. Woods was then approached outside the dressing room. Woodward told him that another goalkeeping coach was coming in — it is already known Van Gaal wants to bring Frank Hoek from the Dutch national set-up — and that his first team duties had been terminated. Bearer: United chief Ed Woodward broke the news to Neville in the dressing room after Sunday's game . Woods will also discuss exactly what that means towards the end of this week, but Neville and Woods certainly believe their time at the club is over. The whole episode left Giggs, his coaches and players, stunned at Woodward’s insensitivity. When United do announce Van Gaal’s arrival, it is unlikely there will be a press conference. Instead, Van Gaal will leave Woodward to work on agreed summer transfer targets and go about his summer business with the Holland team. Woodward’s performance in the transfer market came in for some harsh criticism Tuesday from United legend Roy Keane. Critic: Former United skipper Roy Keane criticised Woodward for his transfer policy . ‘Why give Moyes a six-year contract? He had one transfer window, and it’s not always down to the manager when players don’t come in. I think Ed Woodward needs to look at himself. He’s got to get deals done.’ And Woodward could face an awkward time on Thursday when United’s first quarter financial results are announced. There could be some tricky questions from investors over the hiring and firing of David Moyes and the club’s patchy performance in the transfer market. Graeme Souness thinks it will take United four transfer windows to turn the club’s fortunes round. He said on Sky Sports: ‘It’s not a given that United will be back in the top four, whoever is the manager. Top target: Southampton and England left back Luke Shaw has been linked with a £27m move . ‘It’s not a quick fix. ‘I think it’s a minimum of four transfer windows — if it goes well — before Manchester United get back to where they want to be and should be. I’m talking about winning big trophies’ Former United captain Gary Neville told Sky Sports the club need to be careful who they buy. Neville said: ‘If he [Van Gaal] decides he wants eight players, that doesn’t mean he should go and buy eight players. Switch: Robin van Persie was involved in the decision to switch Holland to a 5-3-2 formation . ‘Signing three or four real top quality — and improving next season, bedding them in and then going again with two or three more the year after, is the organic approach I would expect Manchester United to have. ‘However, I didn’t expect Manchester United to sack a manager after ten months, so what’s going to happen in the next few months, who knows?’ What will be of particular interest to United supporters is the fact that Van Gaal involved Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben — his captain and vice-captain — in the decision to make the tactical change for Holland."

"value": "A Captain Kirk action figure, Iron Man toys and part of a Tyrannosaurus rex are to be sent into orbit around the Earth as the ‘crew’ of the first test flight of Nasa’s next generation Orion space capsule. The spacecraft will also carry a sample of soil from the Moon, an oxygen hose from an Apollo mission spacesuit and a series of Sesame Street puppets and props. They are all part of a weird collection of artefacts and memorabilia that will be sent into space as cargo aboard the first test flight of the Orion spacecraft. Scroll down for video . The Orion space capsule, the white tip of which can be seen sitting on top of a Delta IV Heavy rocket at the Space Launch Complex 37 in Cape Canaveral, will launch on Thursday for its first test flight into space . Nasa is due to launch the capsule into orbit around Earth in what it hopes will be the first steps towards eventually using the vehicle to carry astronauts to Mars. Weather conditions for Orion’s launch on Thursday from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, scheduled for 07.05 EST (12.05 GMT), are looking favourable. Orion is Nasa's first manned space capsule since the Apollo module and will allow the US to regain its capability to launch astronauts into space, which it lost after the retirement of the Shuttle. The Orion Exploration Test Flight 1 is designed to expose the capsule to the conditions it will experience when returning from deep space missions to asteroids and Mars. Upon reentry it will reach speeds of up to 20,000 mph and its heat shield will have to bear the brunt of the scorching plasma that builds up as the spacecraft dives through the atmosphere. Temperatures can reach up to 3,300 degrees C before it slows down enough to deploy its parachutes before dropping into the sea. Astronauts in Orion will also travel through areas of space where intense radiation can be encountered and the capsule will need to protect them from this. The test flight will send Orion through the inner Van Allen belt, a deadly zone of radiation trapped by the Earth's magnetic field. Radiation experiments onboard the test flights will measure how electronics and astronauts might survive in this hostile environment if they are inside the capsule. Yet despite the crucial nature of the test flight, Nasa has packed many of the lockers inside with toys and memorabilia, including a toy figure supplied by William Shatner and a fossil from a T. rex. The spacecraft, and its cargo, will be carried into orbit on a Delta 4 Heavy Rocket, taking it 3,600 miles above there Earth, about 15 times higher than the International Space Station. During the four and a half hour flight the capsule will orbit the Earth twice before beginning its violent descent back into the atmosphere as scientists attempt to test its heat shields. Reaching speeds of up to 20,000 mph, the 16 feet wide heat shield will have to withstand temperatures of more than 3,300 degrees C (6,000 F). A suite of more than 1,200 sensors onboard the capsule will record the stresses, vibrations, temperatures, radiation exposure and acceleration it is exposed to during the descent. If it survives reentry, Orion will deploy parachutes before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean, where it will be recovered by the US Navy. 'Orion is the exploration spacecraft for NASA, and paired with the Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket it will allow us to explore the solar system,' said Mark Geyer, program manager of Orion, which is based at Johnson Space Center in Houston. 'Really, we're going to test the riskiest parts of the mission - ascent, entry and things like fairing separations, Launch Abort System jettison, the parachutes plus the navigation and guidance. 'Plus we’ll fly into deep space and test the radiation effects on those systems.' Technicians pack bags to be placed into Orion's stowage lockers with items from Sesame Street including a cookie belonging to Cookie Monster, Ernie's rubber duck, Grover's cape and Slimey the Worm . A Captain Kirk figurine and Iron Man collectables are among the cargo to be carried on the 3,600 mile test flight of the Orion space capsule as Nasa tests its heat shields ability to withstand the intense heat of re-entry . Orion will travel twice around the Earth before reentering the Earth's atmosphere and splashing down in the Pacific Ocean as engineers attempt to test how the capsule will hold up against the violent descent . Although it will not carry any astronauts on the test flight, the capsule is designed to transport humans, so engineers want to find out what the conditions inside the cabin will be like. Officials at Nasa have, however, also decided to continue the tradition of taking mementos into space. While Orion Test Flight 1 will carry important radiation experiments, the other lockers have been stuffed with a strange assortment of toys, memorabilia and signed celebrity photos. Among the cargo will be props from Sesame Street including a cookie belonging to Cookie Monster, Ernie’s rubber duck, Oscar the Grouch’s pet Slimey the Worm and Grover’s cape. When they return to Earth they will take prized spots on the long-running television programme in a bid to educate millions of children about space. Lockheed Martin, the main contractor for constructing Orion, also worked with the Entertainment Industries Council to collect items from science fiction-related celebrities to fly onboard. William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series and is a noted space enthusiast, supplied an action figure of ‘Captain Kirk in Environmental Suit’. The Orion capsule, seen here inside its launch abort system and service module outside the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, has been fitted sensors to measure the temperature, vibrations acceleration and radiation that astronauts might be exposed to inside during reentry from a mission to an asteroid or Mars . Reentry is one of the most dangerous parts of human space flight as temperatures can reach up to 3,300 degrees C as plasma builds up on the heat shield of Orion, seen here in an artists impression of the capsule as it lines up to being its race through the Earth's atmosphere at speeds of up to 20,000 miles per hour . ‘William Shatner is thrilled to send Kirk back to space and support Orion, while inspiring future generations about space travel,\" EIC vice president Skylar Jackson told collectSPACE. Director Jon Favreau offered an Iron Man challenge coin while Back to the Future actress Claudia Wells provided signed cast photos and a Delorean time machine model. Mayim Bialik, from The Big Bang Theory, also gave pictures of her ancestors. A collection of pins, medals and artworks will also be carried in the Orion lockers. Recordings of Mars from Gustav Holst's The Planets, performed by the National Symphony Orchestra, and 'We Shall Overcome' by Denyce Graves, will also be onboard. Nasa has also placed a tiny sample of lunar soil along with a fossil from a Tyrannosaurus rex donated by the Denver Science Museum, into the capsule.. A microchip carrying the names of more than a million people who submitted their names will also be carried onboard. In a statement on its website, Nasa said: ‘Together, the artifacts chart humanity's progress and technological advancement as the nation takes a critical step forward on the Journey to Mars.’ Carrying commemorative cargo into space, however, is not a new tradition and has been done since the very early age of space flight. Nasa's Mercury astronauts carried dimes in their spacesuits while astronauts on the Apollo missions carried photos and specially stamped envelopes. The Voyager spacecraft have also carried gold discs featuring sounds of Earth along with a range of other information while the Curiosity rover on Mars carried a penny to calibrate its instruments. A microchip carrying the names of a million people will also be flown aboard Orion on the test flight after the public were given opportunity to have their names included as part of Nasa's journey to Mars ."

Another particularly emotional moment . came when the bereaved families of servicemen and women who lost their . loved ones marched silently into the hall. Standing ovation: Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha joined a standing ovation for the emotional pair at the Royal Albert Hall . Teamwork: The Poppy Girls hug after their performance at the Festival of Remembrance in London last night . Megan had just performed with the Poppy Girls, a group made up of daughters of parents serving in the armed forces . It followed a short video that was played to the 4,000-strong audience, showing the mother of Lance Corporal James Ashworth, 23, speaking of her loss. The soldier, from Corby, Northamptonshire, was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross in recognition of his courage while serving with the 1st Battalion The Grenadier Guards in Helmand province last year. The citation mentioned his 'total disregard for his own safety' in ensuring a grenade was posted accurately in the battle against an insurgent. His mother Kerry, who led the bereaved . along with her son Coran, also a serving soldier, said in the clip: 'He . was just such a good lad. He did such a good job.' As . the widows, parents and siblings walked in, many members of the . audience wept - with the Countess of Wessex among those shedding a tear. Royal appearance: Before the festival the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh viewed the plaque commemorating the renaming of the South Steps at the Royal Albert Hall to Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Steps . Greeting: The Queen and Prince Philip stopped to talk with well-wishers on the way in to the Festival of Remembrance . Samantha Cameron, the . wife of Prime Minister David Cameron, also looked close to tears, while . Labour leader Ed Miliband's wife Justine Thornton appeared emotional at . the sight of the bereaved relatives. The . event was attended by the party leaders as well as other senior members . of the Royal Family, including the Princess Royal and Earl of Wessex, . and featured performances from tenor Alfie Boe, singer Katie Melua and . former Army officer James Blunt. Labour leader Ed Miliband and Deputy . Prime Minister Nick Clegg, along with British Legion supporters and . serving members of the Armed Forces, were also among those in the . 4,000-strong audience. Performances by singers were . interspersed with appearances on stage from bereaved families and . survivors of past conflicts, including the last Dambuster, Squadron . Leader Johnny Johnson, as the 70th anniversary of the raid was marked.

The retired army officer had revisited the muddy track in Borneo where thousands of World War Two PoWs trudged to their deaths, only to be given a shocking surprise when he looked back at his images. Maj Tulloch studied his pictures and found what appeared to be hunched, skeletal ghostly figures marching across his photograph, almost exactly in line with the path they took seven decades ago. Apparition: Has Major captured the spirits of long dead PoWs on a notorious death march 67 years ago? The haunting image evokes strong memories of the desperate 'death march' made by Allied prisoners of war. Some 2,400 World War II PoWs died in . the horrific Sandakan Death Marches in 1945 to avoid them being . liberated as Japan was forced on the retreat. Severely malnourished and barefoot, they were forced by brutal Japanese captors to walk 160 miles in sweltering heat for a month. Maj Tulloch took the picture from the window of a 4x4 vehicle while driving along the 'death march' route in 2010. It is thought the astonishing photographic illusion was caused by a the reflection of a patterned towel which was on the dashboard of the vehicle as he took the image. Surrendered: 67,000 PoWs also forced into notorious Bataan Death March in the Philippines, April 1942 . Maj Tulloch said he took the picture in 2010 when he did a recce of the route ahead of aMarch of Remembrance and the unveiling of a memorial to the 400 members of the Royal Artillery who died. Men who collapsed through exhaustion were left to die or were killed by being shot, bayoneted or beheaded. Only six men survived the three marches from Sandakan to Ranau and that was because they managed to escape. It was the single greatest atrocity against Australian troops. Rest Point: Exhausted PoWs get respite along the Bataan Death March watched by merciless Japanese guards . Cruelty: Over 11,000 Allied prisoners died or were killed on the way by guards . Maj Tulloch, 66, said: 'We were driving along the same track as that taken by the death march and I was clicking away on my camera, I took about 200-odd digital photographs. 'I went through the pictures on a computer screen later and didn’t see it the first time round. I went back over them again and I just suddenly thought \"what the hell...?\" 'I looked at the photo again and went very cold indeed. What I saw were the shapes of 17 or 18 ghostly figures coming out of the jungle and walking down the track going to Ranau which you can see in the far distance. 'It took me a few moments to work out how it had occurred but it was too weird for words. I showed it to several people and they said it is quite extraordinary, some even refused to look at it because it was so haunting. 'While my guide drove along he put a towel on the dashboard. The towel had a pattern on it and that reflected through the windscreen. I have called it reflections of a death march.' Maj Tulloch is now an instructor in jungle warfare for the Royal Artillery. At Bayonet point: Japanese troops guard American and Filipino prisoners in Bataan in the Philippines after their capture on 9th April 1942. Forced 'death marches' of captured soldiers, interned civilians or persecuted ethnic groups were a common sight during the War. The brutal demonstrations, in which hundreds of thousands died from exhaustion, disease or beatings from their captors in Nazi Germany or the Japanese Imperial Army, took place to stop prisoners being liberated. One of the most high-profile marches saw an estimated 80,000 Allied PoWs forced to march across Poland, Czechoslovakia and Germany in harsh winter conditions in early 1945. But as the tide of war began to turn in the same year, Hitler's forces began to evacuate captured PoWs and other prisoners westwards. During the marches, Allied PoWs were divided into groups of up to 300 men and marched off under guard. But lack of supplies meant they had to scavenge for food and shelter and the weak were left behind to die. Others were murdered by some of their guards. Official figures said 3,500 US and British and Commonwealth men lost their lives but others estimate around 8,348 died. But the most notorious death marches were the SS-led evacuation of concentration camps. Those too weak were killed outright and the rest were mercilessly driven on to other camps suffering beatings and mass murder. For example nine days before the liberation of Auschwitz 60,000 inmates were taken on a 35 mile death march to waiting trains, 15,000 died on the way. In the Far East the Japanese Imperial Army was also responsible for carrying out numerous death marches. One of the most notorious was the Bataan Death March of 60,000 Filipino and 15,000 US PoWs after a three month battle in 1942. They were forced on a 128km march in which over 11,000 were beaten, bayoneted, mistreated and died from heat and exhaustion."

The notorious underwear bomber's plot in 2009 to blow up a plane on Christmas Day failed because the explosives became 'degraded' after he wore the same pair of underpants for two weeks, according to a U.S. official. Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was on a suicide mission when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his underpants as the plane, en route from Amsterdam, approached Detroit. The bomb however failed to detonate aboard the flight, which was carrying nearly 300 people, but caused a brief fire that caused burns to his groin. He was sentenced to life without parole in February 2012 after he pleaded guilty to all charges on the second day of his trial the previous October. The head of the Transportation Security Administration said this week the bomb failed to detonate because of how long Abdulmutallab had been wearing his underwear. John Pistole told the Aspen Security Forum: 'The bomber had had the device with him for over two weeks.' Mr Pistole was then asked whether the bomb had become 'damp', to which he replied: 'Let's say it was degraded.' During his trial, Abdulmutallab said the bomb in his underwear was a 'blessed weapon' to avenge poorly treated Muslims around the world. After the bomb failed to detonate, passengers pounced on Abdulmutallab and forced him to the front of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 where he was held until the plane landed minutes later. The head of the Transportation Security Administration said this week the bomb failed to detonate because of how long Abdulmutallab had been wearing his underwear . In 2009, months before the attack, he travelled to Yemen to see Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born cleric and one of the best-known al Qaeda figures, according to the government. He told investigators that his mission was approved after a three-day visit with his mentor. Al-Awlaki and the bomb maker were killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011, just days before Abdulmutallab's trial. At the time, President Barack Obama publicly blamed al-Awlaki for the terrorism plot."

"value": "If you are the kind of person who will wrap yourself in the St George's flag as you shout 'ROO-NEY' at the TV this summer, the bulletin on Luis Suarez is good news. No doubt many England fans punched the air when it emerged that Suarez had suffered a knee injury at Uruguay's training in Montevideo and might be out of the clash on June 19. 'Suarez is out of the World Cup - get in!' 'I hope it's a bad one.' 'Right, all we need is Cavani to break down now.' Feeling down: Suarez is an injury doubt for Uruguay's second group game against England . Sensational: Suarez played a key role in Liverpool's title challenge this season with 31 league goals . And on and . on. Any advantage to the team you support is always welcomed, whether . that's your star striker returning from injury, or your rivals' No 9 . pulling his hamstring. England . vs Uruguay with Suarez sitting in the stands is wholly more appealing to England fans . than the same fixture with Suarez walking out of the tunnel in his . blue shirt. But what about the entertainment? What about watching the stars? What about those goals you'll still be talking about in 30 years? The Champions League comes along every season and if your team gets to the final, they will play a total of 13 matches. So, even if a star player picks up an injury, you're still likely to see him at some point during the tournament. Now compare that with the World Cup. An unfortunate knee niggle - one diagnosis on Suarez is that he'll miss four to six weeks, another said he'll be fit in three - can ultimately rule you out of a tournament that only takes place every four years. That's what you call a bad break. Stars: No-one would want to watch the World Cup without Lionel Messi (left) or Cristiano Ronaldo . Whether you fall into the Messi or . Ronaldo camp, few would claim they are not excited about watching one or . the other - or both - this summer. We want them to turn it up to 11 in . Brazil. And it should be the same for Suarez. This is the man who enjoyed an exceptional season with Liverpool, scoring 31 goals as he took them to the brink of a first title since 1990. There's no-one who watches Match of the Day on a regular basis that wasn't blown away by Suarez at some point this season. Taking that form into the World Cup, he would be a joy to watch. You hope the same for Andres Iniesta, Neymar, Robin van Persie, Yaya Toure and the other leading figures of the game. The World Cup has a history of high-profile injuries (Pele in 1966, Michael Ballack in 2010) and there are already a few decent players out of Brazil (Thiago Alcantara and Theo Walcott, for sure, and they may be joined by Radamel Falcao.) So, if you want to sit back next month and watch the best players in the best tournament, start crossing your fingers that Suarez is an exceptionally quick healer."

And despite having travelled by Concorde, Royal Yacht, elephant and South Sea canoe, the Queen has never been carried in anything quite like the transport which will take her to today’s State Opening of Parliament. Unveiled for the first time, the new Diamond Jubilee State Coach is only the second royal carriage to be built in a century and joins the unrivalled royal collection of coaches, phaetons, landaus, broughams and barouches. None of the others, however, features a 360-degree ‘coachcam’ offering a monarch’s-eye view of the procession, gold-plated hydraulics, motor-racing technology and a dazzling museum. Scroll down for video . Palace-on-wheels: Unveiled for the first time, the new Diamond Jubilee State Coach is only the second royal carriage to be built in a century . For this palace-on-wheels is much more than the ultimate horse-drawn limousine. Open a diamond-clad door handle and, inside, we find a time capsule of 1,000 years of history. Surmounted by a crown made from the timbers of HMS Victory, which houses the royal website’s ‘coachcam’, the new state coach contains relics of all those key moments sacred to Britain and so much of the Commonwealth. The panelling includes slivers of Scott’s Antarctic sled, Sir Isaac Newton’s apple tree, Hut Six at codebreaking centre Bletchley Park, one of Sir Edmund Hillary’s Everest ladders and the beams of most of our great cathedrals. As she is drawn behind six horses, the Queen will be sitting on a piece of Scotland’s Stone of Destiny, upon which monarchs are traditionally crowned, and surrounded by a bolt from a Spitfire, a musket ball from Waterloo, a bolt and rivets from the Flying Scotsman and a button from Gallipoli. There’s even a fragment of the bronze cannon from which every Victoria Cross is cast, and a piece of metal from the wreckage of a 617 Squadron Dambuster. Chock full of history: As she is drawn behind six horses, the Queen will be sitting on a piece of Scotland's Stone of Destiny, upon which monarchs are traditionally crowned, and surrounded by a bolt from a Spitfire, a musket ball from Waterloo, a bolt and rivets from the Flying Scotsman and a button from Gallipoli . Little wonder this three-ton coach — . 18ft long — has taken 50 people more than ten years to assemble. And it . is all the idea of one remarkable Australian. Jim . Frecklington, 64, worked in the Royal Mews as a young man before . returning home to help organise the Queen’s Silver Jubilee exhibition . in Australia. Having repaired carriages on the family farm in his youth, he set about building a replica of the 1902 State Landau. This . led to something even more ambitious and, in 1986, he built the . Australian State Coach, a gift from the people of Australia to the Queen . to mark the country’s bicentenary. It proved a very popular addition to . the Royal Mews, not least because it was the first state coach with . heating. But Mr Frecklington, whose family emigrated from Britain to New South Wales in the 1850s, was not finished. ‘I . wanted to make something in honour of Her Majesty’s great reign and . something which represents our extraordinary history,’ he explains as he . shows me his spotless creation in its new home behind the Palace. So, he set about building something even larger than the Australian State Coach at his workshop near Sydney. Symbolism: A part of the Stone of Destiny which is placed in a capsule beneath the seats in the new Diamond Jubilee state coach . Relics: Woods from various celebrated buildings and vessels have been used to inlay the doors . History: The panelling includes a button from Gallipoli, wood from the Mayflower, a rivet from the Flying Scotsman, slivers of Scot's Antarctic sled, wood from Sir Isaac Newton's apple tree, Hut Six at codebreaking centre Bletchley Park, one of Sir Edmund Hillary's Everest ladders and the beams of most of our great cathedrals . The construction was a labour of love. All the springs, for example, were hand-forged, while the wheels were cast in aircraft-strength aluminium and made by one of Australia’s leading racing car designers. Mr Frecklington wanted to use the finest craftsmen and women from all over the Commonwealth. So, all the leather is English, as is the gold silk brocade upholstery (from Sudbury). The lamps are glazed with the finest lead crystal from Edinburgh. The intricate heraldic paintwork has been hand-painted by Irish-born Australian Paula Church. The door handles are from New Zealand — each is gold-plated and inlaid with 24 diamonds and 130 Australian sapphires by Kiwi master jeweller Mike Baker. Even the bolts which fix the gold-plated hand supports to the bodywork have been finished using the same guilloche enamel as a Faberge egg. And so it goes on. Mr Frecklington has applied the same mind-boggling attention to detail to the historical artefacts which give the Diamond Jubilee State Coach its special status. He began by asking the custodians of HMS Victory if he might have a piece of timber from Nelson’s flagship. Once it was clear Mr Frecklington had the endorsement of Buckingham Palace, things started to progress. ‘I knew Victory had undergone a refit in 1922 and that they had set aside some timber, and they were kind enough to let me have some.’ The result is a crown resting on four lions modelled on those found on the gates of Buckingham Palace. The entire coach is covered with heraldic emblems, crests and motifs, all of which have been approved by the College of Arms. Comfy: Flip up the armrests and there are discreet, Bond-style controls for the heating and electric windows underneath . 'I . wanted to make something in honour of Her Majesty': Jim Frecklington, 64, designed and built the coach. The lamps, right, are glazed with lead crystal from Edinburgh . A wheel hub: Mr Frecklington built the coach in his workshop near Sydney, Australia using the work of the finest craftsmen and women from all over the Commonwealth . He then broadened his quest for other historic artefacts to include every great building and institution he could think of. The trust which looks after Britannia donated some teak handrails from the old Royal Yacht. They now form the armrests (flip them up and there are discreet, Bond-style controls for the heating and electric windows underneath). He secured contributions from Windsor Castle, Balmoral and even the old Royal Box at Ascot. St Paul’s and Winchester Cathedrals presented certified pieces, as did Westminster Abbey and many stately homes. The panelling includes yew from Glamis Castle in Scotland, where the Queen Mother grew up, ash from Blenheim Palace and oak from Althorp, ancestral home of the Spencer family. Going back somewhat further is a little bit of timber from the Bronze Age Ferriby boat found in the Humber. A strong theme throughout is sacrifice. Hence the metalwork from a Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster and many of our best-known battlefields. ‘I wanted something every family in the land can relate to,’ he says. Crowning glory: Made from wood reclaimed from HMS Victory the reproduction crown sits atop four lions modelled on those found on the gates of Buckingham Palace . Mr Frecklington secured contributions from Windsor Castle, Balmoral and even the old Royal Box at Ascot. St Paul's and Winchester Cathedrals presented certified pieces, as did Westminster Abbey and many stately homes. The public can go to view the new carriage at the Royal Mews from tomorrow . Resplendent: The entire coach is covered with heraldic emblems, crests and motifs, all of which have been approved by the College of Arms . Dry run: The carriage rolls past the Palace of Westminster in a rehearsal of the State Opening of Parliament, set to take place today . There will be those who wonder why anyone should go to so much trouble — and how much it has all cost. Besides, how do you put a price on all this? Mr Frecklington smiles and says he’s not sure. He paid for a lot of it himself, but the coach has now been formally acquired for the nation by the Royal Collection Trust following a private donation. In other words, it hasn’t cost the taxpayer a penny. After today, though, the public will be able to view it, along with all the other coaches and carriages, during the daily opening of the Royal Mews at the back of Buckingham Palace. Though the Queen has seen the finished product, she will not have ridden in it until today. Mr Frecklington — who is already working on his next project, a tribute to horses that went to war — has been allocated a ringside view of the royal arrival at the Palace of Westminster. ‘It will be a very special moment,’ he says. ‘She’s a wonderful example to humanity, and this has been a great team effort.’ The Queen arrives for 2013's State Opening of Parliament in the Irish State Coach, which had been her traditional carriage for the procession from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament. This year she will use the new Diamond Jubilee State Coach . In 2012, the State of Opening of Parliament saw the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh use the Australian State Coach for the procession. It was then the newest in the Palace's collection, having been presented to mark Australia's bicentennial in 1988."

The 31-year-old, who has 48 international caps for Scotland, stated that he has received plenty of offers, but has been unwilling to accept anything thus far. 'Most of the offers have been from abroad but they've not excited me too much and I'm quite indecisive so I'm holding off for something that will excite me,' McFadden told BBC Radio Scotland. International: McFadden has been capped 48 times for Scotland, scoring 15 goals in the process . Veteran: The Scot has played for Everton on two seperate occasions . Despite opting to turn down all offers to this point, McFadden continued by clarifying that he is ready should the right deal be offered to him. 'I'm still on the look-out for a club and keeping myself fit. There's definitely a lot more football left in me and if I'm ever asked then I'm ready.' The striker scored 13 goals for Birmingham in 67 league starts, after the Midlands club paid Everton £4.75m for his services in January 2008. In demand: McFadden cost Birmingham £4.75m in January 2008, when he signed from Everton . Goal: McFadden (centre) has scored some important goals for his country, including this against France . Following that, he returned to Everton for a second spell on Merseyside, before leaving for Sunderland on a free a year later. McFadden re-signed for his boyhood club Motherwell in February 2013, until his release in May left him searching for a return to football. The Scot admits he is taking his return to football one step at a time, and was insistent that he has to consider his family's future as well as his own. 'I'm just kind of weighing (the offers) up and seeing what the best one is for myself football-wise but also my family as well, I've got to take them into consideration.'

The former England midfielder insists the players will benefit psychologically from ending the club’s nine-year wait for a trophy. Nobody in the squad has lifted silverware in England before. Parlour won three League titles, four FA Cups, and one League Cup during his 12-year career at Arsenal and knows how success breeds success. Scroll down for video... Long time coming: Arsenal have not won silverware since lifting the 2005 FA Cup in Cardiff . In eight years under Arsene Wenger he won six trophies and is unwavering in his support for the Frenchman, who last guided Arsenal to silverware in 2005. Parlour, who left the summer before that FA Cup triumph, also played for Hull City and says a win for Steve Bruce’s team would make history – but it would affect the future for Arsenal. ‘They will be under a lot of pressure having not won anything for so long,’ says Parlour. ‘It would be really bad if that continued. I’m not sure what effect that might have. The Romford Pele: Ray Parlour believes the Gunners will challenge for the title if they win the FA Cup . ‘But on the other side, winning the FA Cup would give players that confidence and belief. A lot of them haven’t won anything before and that can be a mental hurdle to overcome. ‘I know, having experienced it, that lifting trophies in whatever competition makes your stronger, you’re then a winner. I would expect victory to boost the team for a title challenge in the Premier League next season.’ Parlour believes more money will be spent in the transfer window, with the £42.5million capture of Mesut Ozil last summer a marker that years of saving are over. He predicts Wenger could be handed as much as £100million to splash on reinforcements. Slip up? Arsenal face underdogs Hull City in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday . We all know what Arsene Wenger has been working with at the club, the new stadium meant he had to balance the books and couldn’t compete with the elite clubs in Europe on fees and wages. ‘But signing Ozil showed that has changed. They need a top quality centre-forward and probably a holding midfielder. I think Ozil will improve next year after adjusting to England – it is hard to go without a winter break when you’ve had one your entire career – and more quality signings will come.’ Would you like the chance to represent Titan Bet this summer in Brazil?

Although she had performed strongly in . her first dance earlier on Sunday evening, her second dance was ruined by her dress issue. Fortunately for Pamela, the wardrobe team was prepared and she was wearing matching white and silver nipple covers to protect her modesty when her right breast started to escape from the tight dress. Pamela's exit was a shock to bookmakers Ladbrokes, who had given her 20/1 odds to be first voted out.

Google may be looking to reverse the fortune of its Glass headset by making it more streamlined and less obtrusive. Patent files have revealed a new design (pictured) for the high-tech headset that features a thinner casing above the left ear, making it more inconspicuous . Google Glass launched in 2012 to fanfare, but its price, clunky design, as well as how long it is taking to be released to general consumers have dampened this excitement. The headset costs £1,000 in the UK and $1,500 in the US, but models now sell on eBay for half this price. Developers are also said to be abandoning the platform, and even Google's Sergey Brin appeared at an event recently without the specs. A thinner design and faster processor may make it more appealing to a wider variety of people. But Google has already attempted to make the device more fashionable with the launch of designer frames, which don't appear to have boosted its charm. Google Glass has also been criticised by privacy campaigners for allowing wearers to take photos and videos surreptitiously, so making the device itself less prominent may flame these concerns.

It doesn't confirm Google is revamping the device, but it does suggest it has been looking at alternative designs since before the headset was released. Recently it emerged that the consumer version, which Google promised would go on sale this year, has now been delayed until 2015 - raising questions over its future. Of 16 Glass app makers contacted by Reuters earlier this month, nine said that . they had stopped work on their projects or abandoned them, . mostly because of the lack of customers or limitations of the . device.

Psyclops, but Google never put it on the official hub for Glass . apps, making it tougher to find. He has quit working on updates. However, plenty of larger developers remain with Glass and there are nearly . 100 apps on the official web site including Facebook and . OpenTable. Still, there are some enthusiastic developers. Cycling and . running app Strava finds Glass well-suited for its users, who . want real-time data on their workouts, said David Lorsch, vice . president of business development. And entrepreneur Jake . Steinerman said it is ideal for his company, DriveSafe, which . detects if people are falling asleep at the wheel. In April, Google launched the Glass at Work program to help . make the device useful for specific industries, such as . healthcare and manufacturing. So far the effort has resulted in . apps that are being tested or used at companies such as Boeing . and Yum Brands' Taco Bell.

But they survived the many opportunities the Swiss had, securing victory and their passage to the last eight with a goal from Angel Di Maria only two minutes before the end of extra time. Must do better: It was a night of frustration for Javier Mascherano (right) and Argentina before they eventually prevailed 1-0 against Switzerland and reached the last eight of the World Cup . Last-gasp: A penalty shoot-out was looming when Angel Di Maria scored Argentina's winner in the 118th minute . ‘It’s very difficult,’ he said. ‘But it’s not just about what we’re missing. I like to look at positive aspects. In a World Cup that is so difficult, where it costs so much to go through, we have made good strides forward. ‘In the second half of extra-time Switzerland had less legs. They couldn’t attack in the same way. We could press higher, and we started to win a lot of the ball in their half. But you know that with one mistake you’re going home.’ Mascherano is encouraged by the success the South American teams have so far enjoyed, even if it is the Central Americans from Costa Rica he considers the major threat to the ambitions of the so-called bigger teams. ‘The South Americans, while one or two have gone out, have put in a very respectable performances,’ he said. ‘Obviously we’re seeing a very different World Cup. South America, it’s not the same to play in as Europe. Roar of encouragement: Mascherano urges his team-mates on during the las-16 clash with Switzerland in Sao Paulo . Getting stuck in: Mascherano tries to win the ball from Fabian Lichtsteiner during the encounter at Arena Corinthians . ‘There’s been an evolution. Today you have countries who, historically, don’t have such a football tradition but they’ve evolved; they’ve made a stride forward. ‘Costa Rica are getting their reward for being a brave side. They’re a team that likes to play, that I love to watch because they never depart from their style of play. ‘I said it when they won their first game, against Uruguay; they’re a squad who invite others to copy them. ‘Colombia, well, they’re a fine team. It’s something we knew from qualifying. Jose Pekerman has done extraordinary work with very young players with great potential. Whoops! Mascherano mis-kicks as Argentina struggle to make the breakthrough in the second round game . ‘It’s a bit of a lottery too. Chile could well have gone through. It would have been deserved. I think they put in a very respectable display. They’ve grown a lot and, above all, they never deviated from their idea. That’s the identity of a team.’ Mascherano thinks it difficult to identity a favourite from the eight remaining sides. ‘I’ve read that it’s the World Cup with the most goals, where there are a lot of entertaining games, where there are a lot of great match-ups,’ he said. ‘There aren’t too many big gaps between teams. For the supporters, that’s great. I don’t think it’s fair to say anyone’s been a surprise but you have to mention Costa Rica, who are doing something extraordinary.’"

Loud voices could be heard in the jury room in Wayne County, Michigan a few hours before jurors threw in the towel in the case of Joseph Weekley on Tuesday and were dismissed. They sent three notes, the last one indicating they still couldn't reach a unanimous verdict on the third day of deliberations, despite encouragement from Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway. But supporters of the seven-year-old victim, Aiyana Jones, said they believe the jury was unable to reach a decision due to race. Mistrial: The case of Detroit police officer Joseph Weekley has been declared a mistrial after the jury were unable to reach a verdict. Weekley is accused of involuntary manslaughter . Roland Lawrence of the Justice for Aiyana Jones Committee explained only one juror was African American and that he had 'no confidence in this jury' once he realized the racial disparity. Weekley, a member of an elite police squad, was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Aiyana, who was shot in the head in May 2010 while sleeping on her grandmother's couch. He was accused of being 'grossly negligent' in how he handled his submachine gun as his black-clad, masked and armed unit stormed the Detroit home to capture a suspect in May 2010. Police threw a stun grenade through a window, and Weekley was the first officer through the door. Weekley told jurors that he accidentally pulled the trigger during a struggle with the girl's grandmother, but Mertilla Jones denied interfering with the gun. Loss: Aiyana Stanley-Jones, 7, was shot dead when the officer's gun accidentally fired during a raid . Missed: Her grandmother Mertilla Jones sobbed as she testified in the trial last week . The hunt for a murder suspect was being recorded by a crew from 'The First 48,' a police show on A&E Networks. Some video shot from the sidewalk was part of the evidence. The jury could have convicted Weekley . of involuntary manslaughter, a felony, or reckless discharge of a . firearm, a misdemeanor. He also could have been cleared of all charges. Frustration: Judge Cynthia Hathaway had encouraged jurors to reach a unanimous decision . 'This is a bittersweet outcome: Bitter because Weekley was not convicted, and sweet in that justice for Aiyana Jones will come soon,' said Roland Lawrence. A pretrial conference to schedule a new set of hearings and a near jury selection is set for 9am July 25. If convicted, Weekley could face up to 15 years behind bars. Aiyana was sleeping on one end of the couch, and her grandmother Mertilla Jones was on the other in May 2010 when an armed, black-clad and masked police officers stormed the apartment. Armed with an MP5 submachine gun and . behind a shield, Weekley had been tasked with being first into the home in search of murder . suspect, Chauncey Owens. Last week, a neighbor testified that he . tried to tell officers before they raided the home that children were . inside. Under cross-examination Monday, Jones said the officers were . negligent. 'They knew there . were children in there. So why would they come in there like that? They . came to kill, and they killed a 7-year-old.' Davis, the officer who tossed the stun grenade, said the team was unaware children were inside. When . asked by prosecutors if knowing children were in the house would have . forced police to change raid tactics, Davis responded: 'Probably not.' The apartment: Police entered the home on the bottom-level where Jones and her granddaughter were. Their actual target lived in the apartment above . It was Owens they were after. Two days before the raid 17-year-old Je'rean Blake was standing outside a neighborhood convenience store when he was shot to death following a dispute. Mertilla Jones testified that Owens lived in the upper unit with her daughter, LaKrystal Sanders. Police found Owens in the upstairs flat and he was arrested. Owens pleaded guilty in April 2011 to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 28 years in prison for Blake's slaying."

Naples, Florida luxury real estate broker Cliff Donenfeld, 51, started writing the memoir last fall after exposing the relationship to the New York Post's Page Six. Donenfeld initially decided to reveal his long-term affair with older-woman Turney, 56, when she declined to give him a reference for a job in fashion. Since then, sources close to Donenfeld say Turney has been trying to block the publication of the book tentatively titled 'Side Guys'. Secret lovers: Luxury real estate broker Cliff Donenfeld (right) is writing a tell-all memoir which include details of his two-year affair with married Victoria's Secret CEO Sharen Turney (left) Sharen's helper: Turney has been the CEO of Victoria's Secret since 2006. During their two-year affair, Donenfeld says he became the lingerie exec's sounding-board on things like that annual fashion show . 'After the article, Cliff noticed black SUVs outside his house,' a source told the Post. 'He was then contacted by a Victoria's Secret private eye who wanted to meet with him and their lawyer.' Another source said that Turney's conservative bosses at Ohio-based L Brands are not happy with the scandal. 'They've been trying to shut down Cliff and convince him not to include her in his book. But he's standing up for himself,' a friend added. 'His book has many people and many chapters. This is one chapter. He contributed to Victoria's Secret.' Donenfeld and Turney started dating around 2008, and he soon after broke up with his girlfriend so he could spend more time with the lingerie exec in Florida, New York and Ohio. Staying together: Donenfeld and Turney's relationship ended in 2010 when she refused to leave Charles (left), her husband of more than 20 years. Pictured above last December . Donenfeld claims Turney relied on him for advice on everything from the Victoria's Secret fashion show, to what she should wear.

Changed man: A source close to Donenfeld says he's dating someone new and has turned his life around after getting baptized. He now attends church every Sunday . During their two-year romance, Turney allegedly promised to buy her boyfriend a multimillion dollar home in Naples' exclusive Port Royal community, but all he got was a Cartier watch. Things got more serious in 2010, when Turney was considering a professional move to Harrod's in the UK. Donenfeld says Turney asked him to move to London with her, where they could start a new life together and adopt a baby. 'At the time, she was discussing a move to Harrods,' he said. 'She said it would be much easier to start our lives over again in London. She said she’d place me in a job at Harrods.' But when Donenfeld scheduled an . appointment for Turney at a New York divorce lawyer, so she could . finally leave her husband, Turney wavered. She said she wanted to 'wait until the holidays' to let Charles, her husband of more than 20 years, know. The . relationship fizzled out in 2010 and the two remained friends until . Turney offended Donenfeld by not providing him with a professional . reference. Donenfeld . is now dating someone new and a source says he's turned his life around . after getting baptized and attends church every Sunday. Despite Turney trying to stop the publication of the book, Donenfeld says he's pushing on. 'It is in my rights to write my memoirs,' he commented to the Post, 'and I will write them.'"
