A detailed underground plan of the 11th century medieval city has revealed a series of houses and a courtyard believed to be the remains of a royal palace. The map was created using geophysical ground-penetrating scanners on the site of the Iron Age fort near Salisbury. The findings, which concentrated on the medieval period, revealed a series of large structures along the southern edge of the outer bailey defensive wall (pictured). The vast complex - thought to be a royal palace or defensive structures - measures 557ft (170 metre) long and 213ft (65 metre) wide . The geophysical survey was carried out by archaeologists from the University of Southampton using a range of state-of-the-art scanning techniques. They concentrated their survey around the inner and outer baileys of what was once a fortification, situated around two miles (3.2km) from modern-day Salisbury. Old Sarum was an Iron Age fort established around 400 BC and which measures 1,300ft (400 metres) long and 1,180ft (360 metres) wide. It was occupied by the Romans after the conquest of Britain in 43AD when it was known as Sorviodunum. A castle was built on the site after the Norman Conquest in 1066, when William the Conqueror created a motte in the centre of the hillfort, adding an inner set of fortifications.

The inner castle and palace consisted of towers, halls and apartments, while a cathedral was built on the north-western section in 1092 . Kristian Strutt, director of archaeological prospection services at the University of Southampton, said: 'Archaeologists and historians have known for centuries that there was a medieval city at Old Sarum, but until now there has been no proper plan of the site. 'Our survey shows where individual buildings are located and from this we can piece together a detailed picture of the urban plan within the city walls.'

The inner castle and royal palace consisted of towers, halls and apartments, while the north-western section of the bailey was chosen as the site for a new cathedral, built in 1092. All early buildings in the castle would have been made of timber, and the oldest surviving stone structure, the keep, is said to have been built early in the reign of Henry I in the 12th century. The royal palace within the castle was subsequently used by Plantagenet monarchs. Eventually, a new cathedral was established during the 1220s in what is now modern-day Salisbury. This caused the clergy to abandon Old Sarum and marked the start of a gradual decline of the region in favour of New Sarum, now known as modern-day Salisbury. The castle continued in use, and money was spent on its repair and maintenance during the reign of Edward III in the 14th century. By the 19th century, the settlement was officially uninhabited but still had formal parliamentary representation. Old Sarum is currently an English Heritage property and is open to the public.

The research was conducted as part of the Old Sarum and Stratford-Sub-Castle Archaeological Survey Project, directed by Kristian Strutt and fellow Southampton archaeologists Timothy Sly and Dominic Barker. Old Sarum is currently an English Heritage property and is open to the public. Heather Sebire, property curator at English Heritage, said: 'Having the team of archaeologists on site over the summer gave our visitors a chance to find out more about how important historic landscapes are surveyed. 'The use of modern, non-invasive surveying is a great start to further research at Old Sarum. 'From this work we can surmise much about the site's past and, whilst we can't conclusively date the findings, it adds a new layer to Old Sarum's story. We welcome the chance to find out more about our sites, and look forward to exploring ideas for further research in the future.' Mr Strutt added: 'Our research so far has shown how the entire outer bailey of the monument was heavily built up in the Middle Ages, representing a substantial urban centre. 'Results have given us compelling evidence as to the nature of some of the structures. It is clear, however, that there is more non-intrusive work that could be carried out to further expand our understanding of the site.'

But evidence for such life might now have been found in a meteorite that landed on Earth three years ago. Examining a meteorite named Tissint, scientists have found small fissures that were filled with carbon containing matter - and it may be of extraterrestrial biological origin. Scroll down for video explanation . The Tissint meteorite (fragment shown) fell to Earth in Morocco on 18 July 2011. It was ejected from Mars by an asteroid impact 700,000 years ago. Pieces of the meteorite were found to have fissures caused by water, and these may contain carbon of biological origin, according to a new study . The Tissint meteorite fell to Earth in the Moroccan desert on 18 July 2011. It was ejected from Mars after an asteroid crashed into the surface 700,000 years ago, sending debris into space - some of which made its way to Earth. And this meteorite, the fall of which was seen by several eyewitnesses, seems to bear signs the red planet was once habitable. Dr Philippe Gillet, director of EPFL's Earth and Planetary Sciences Laboratory, and colleagues from China, Japan and Germany performed a detailed analysis of organic carbon found in the meteorite. The Tissint meteorite fell in Tata Province, in the Guelmim-Es Semara region of Morocoo, on 18 July 2011. It broke apart in the atmosphere and rained material on to Earth, with several pieces being recovered and some being sold. It is also only the fifth Martian meteorite to be seen falling to Earth by eyewitnesses - the last being in 1962. Tissint had been ejected from the surface of Mars 700,000 years ago when an asteroid struct the surface. Of most interest is the sign of certain elements being carried into cracks in the rocks by water fluid, which has never been seen in a Martian meteorite before. They concluded that it very likely had a biological origin. The scientists argue that the carbon could have been deposited in fissures of the rock when it was still on Mars by fluid that was rich in organic matter. 'So far, there is no other theory that we find more compelling,' said Dr Gillet. Other studies of the meteorite have agreed that carbon in the meteorite is organic. However, there has been a debate as to where this carbon came from. A study in 2012 proposed that the carbon came from the crystallisation of magma at high temperature on Mars - ruling out a biological origin. But the latest study says liquids seeping into the rock at low temperatures near the surface is a more likely explanation. The Tissint meteorite fell in Tata Province (shown), in the Guelmim-Es Semara region of Morocoo, on 18 July 2011. It broke apart in the atmosphere and rained material on to Earth, with several pieces being recovered and some being sold. And it is only the fifth Martian meteorite to be spotted falling to Earth . Dr Philippe Gillet, director of EPFL's Earth and Planetary Sciences Laboratory, and colleagues from China, Japan and Germany performed a detailed analysis of organic carbon found in the meteorite. They found it very likely had a biological origin from Mars (shown) This is supported by some properties of the meteorite's carbon. Most notably, the ratio of the carbon 13 isotope to carbon 12 was similar to coal on Earth. This is important because coal has a biological origin - namely dead plant and animal matter. In the study the researchers also ruled out the chance the carbon had come from Earth - and they are now increasingly sure this meteorite proves life on Mars once existed. 'Insisting on certainty is unwise, particularly on such a sensitive topic,' warns Dr Gillet. 'I'm completely open to the possibility that other studies might contradict our findings. 'However, our conclusions are such that they will rekindle the debate as to the possible existence of biological activity on Mars - at least in the past.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The Tissint meteorite fell to Earth in Morocco on 18 July 2011 .\nIt was ejected from Mars by an asteroid impact 700,000 years ago .\nPieces of the meteorite were found to have fissures caused by water .\nWithin these fissures elements were found that had seeped inside .\nAnd carbon isotopes in the meteorite match that of coal on Earth .\nThis has a biological origin - which means Tissint might be evidence of past extraterrestrial life on Mars ." } ]

He says international . donors have sent less than one-third of the money needed to help those . displaced by the war. More than 100,000 Syrians have been killed since an uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad erupted in 2011. Kerry has said he is confident that Congress will give Obama its backing for an attack against Syria, but the former Massachusetts senator also said the president has authority to act on his own if Congress doesn't give its approval. While Kerry stopped short of saying Obama was committed to such a course even if lawmakers refuse to authorize force, he did say that 'we are not going to lose this vote.' Congress is scheduled to return from a summer break on September 9. House Speaker John Boehner has said a vote will likely take place that week. Senator John McCain said on Sunday that Assad will be 'euphoric' about Obama's decision to wait for Congress before scrambling his bombers. And after a meeting with Obama at the White House today the senator said it would be 'catastrophic' if the vote was lost on the House of Representatives floor. The French parliament could act sooner. A debate is scheduled Wednesday on taking action on Syria, as President François Hollande has come under increasing pressure to seek legislative approval for joining the U.S. in any attack. On Saturday evening, centrist UDI party leader Jean-Louis Borloo insisted that 'like the U.S. president, who decided to consult the U.S. Congress in the name of democratic principles, the French president must organize, after the debate, a formal vote in parliament.' What was once considered a certain three-pronged attack on Syria from the U.S., France and the UK was reduced to a bilateral affair on Thursday, as Britain's parliament shot down Prime Minister David Cameron’s request for involvement in a strike against Assad. A day later, Kerry began flattering France as America's 'oldest ally,' in hopes of ensuring that Paris didn’t follow London’s lead. Horrific: Hundreds died in the alleged chemical attacks, including many women and children . French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault now says he will share top-secret intelligence with his nation’s parliament on Wednesday. 'We are going to give the MPs everything we have – classified until now – to enable every one of them to take on board the reality of this unacceptable attack,' he said Monday. Elisabeth Guigou, president of the foreign affairs committee in France's National Assembly, said Monday that – told France info: Ayrault planned to show MPs 'evidence the attack took place and that it could only have been the regime who were behind it.' On Sunday a government source told the French news agency Agence France-Presse that the French will soon make public a trove of documents over the years, showing Syria stockpiling chemical weapons. One of the loudest critics of the administration's handling of Syria, McCain criticised Obama in an interview on CBS's Face the Nation. Referring to Obama's famous statement that the use of chemical weapons in Syria would cross a red line, McCain said: 'He didn't say, \"It's a red line - and by the way I'm going to have to seek the approval of Congress.\" He said it was a red line, and that the United States of America would act.' 'That's a big difference,' McCain insisted. 'And that's one of the reasons why this is so problematic.' The Arizona Republican, whom Obama defeated for the presidency in 2008, said the president asked him to come to the White House on Monday, specifically to discuss Syria. Awful: Secretary of State John Kerry said images like these contributed to the U.S. assessment that chemical weapons were used in Syria . Democrats, too, are expressing frustration at Obama's failure to act decisively after his 'red line' speech. Charles Rangel, who represents the Harlem section of New York City, said Monday said 'of course it's embarrassing' that the president didn’t act immediately after chemical weapons use was discovered. Rangel opposes a Syrian military strike but said Obama's delay on Saturday was also a major embarrassment to Kerry – who had demanded strong action a day earlier. It’s 'unheard of,' Rangel said on MSNBC, that a president would allow the world to see him issuing an empty threat. 'So of course it's embarrassing, I wish it didn't happen, ' he said. ' 'I guess Secretary Kerry is even more embarrassed than me after making his emotional speech that this was urgent.' Tension: President Bashar Assad will be . 'euphoric' about Obama's decision to wait for Congress over Syria, . according to Sen. John McCain . Firm: Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov . said evidence of alleged chemical weapons use by the Syrian regime . presented to Moscow by the U.S. and its allies is 'absolutely . unconvincing' Obama is hoping Congress's most intractable foreign policy hawks will help sell the idea of U.S. military intervention in Syria to a nation already deeply scarred by more than a decade of war in the Middle East. Having announced over the weekend that he will seek congressional approval for military strikes against the Assad regime, the Obama administration is now trying to rally support among Americans and their elected representatives. Obama's meeting with McCain is meant to quell fears that Obama isn't doing enough to punish Assad's government for the presumed sarin gas attack in the Damascus suburbs last month. But some Republican and Democratic lawmakers don't want to see military action at all. Obama's turnabout on Syria sets the stage for the biggest foreign policy vote in Congress since the Iraq war. On Sunday, Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. received new physical evidence in the form of blood and hair samples that shows sarin gas was used in the August 21 attack. 'We know that the regime ordered this attack,' he said. 'We know they prepared for it. We know where the rockets came from. We know where they landed. We know the damage that was done afterwards.' Crisis talks: President Obama and Vice-President . Biden meet with Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security . Advisor Susan Rice to discuss Syria on Sunday .

Kerry's assertion coincided with the beginning of a forceful administration appeal for congressional support. On Capitol Hill, senior administration officials briefed lawmakers in private to explain why the U.S. must act.

But the Wiltshire grandmother's innocuous appearance hides a secret - and one that could strike at the heart of the Danish monarchy. For Mrs Ward claims to have proved that she is the great granddaughter of King Frederik VII, a monarch who supposedly died childless and left his throne to a cousin from whom current ruler, Margrethe II, is descended. Scroll down for video . Delighted: Mrs Ward says she is delighted to have finally discovered the truth about her history . Ruler: Danish queen Margrethe II is descended from Frederik's cousin, Christian of Glucksburg . According to Mrs Ward, whose story has been turned into a book that has sent shockwaves through Danish society, she is descended from Frederik and his third wife, former ballerina Louise Rasmussen. King Frederik VII was believed to have died childless, with the throne passing to Prince Christian of Glucksburg, but Mrs Ward says he actually had a secret daughter who was smuggled away to Wales for her own safety. 'It was amazing to find it all out. It was a long process but we got there,' said a delighted Mrs Ward. 'It's great to put all the pieces together. 'There is plenty of the king's [Frederik's] blood flowing in the UK, even if they didn't know about it at the time.' Mrs Ward's tale begins with her grandmother Elizabeth, who according to the 87-year-old, is the daughter of the Danish monarch and his third wife. Although King Frederik had had two previous royal marriages, both were unhappy and ended in divorce. His third match, with 'commoner' Louise, caused an outcry and the match was morganatic - between people of unequal rank - which meant his title and privileges could not be automatically claimed by his wife or children. Until Mrs Ward came forward, it was thought the couple had not had children, leaving the throne empty when Frederik died. Instead, claims Mrs Ward, they had a daughter named Elizabeth who was born in February 1851 but kept her existence a secret in order to avoid a war. Had the child been a boy, the royal pair would have announced his birth to the nation, confirming him as Frederik's heir and successor. The birth of a girl, her parents feared, could spark a German-assisted revolt, pitching the Scandinavian country and its larger neighbour into a bloody war. Childless: Although King Frederik VII is thought to have died childless, Mrs Ward's new book claims otherwise . Royal descendants: Mrs Ward's father John (left) and grandmother Elizabeth (right) Desperate to keep the birth secret, the royal couple approached the British Government for help and came up with a plan to spirit the newborn out of the country. Elizabeth was taken by Sir Henry Williams-Wynn, the British Ambassador to Denmark, from Copenhagen to his country estate in north Wales. The child grew up anonymously in Britain, later marrying and having three children. Tragically, she died young, perishing soon after her husband and eldest son. One of the two remaining children was Mrs Ward's father, John, who was just six at the time of his mother's death, and who in later life, began the search for his maternal grandparents. 'My father spent his life looking for his mother's people,' explained Mrs Ward. 'He spent many years trying to find out, and ultimately failed. At home: Mrs Ward says she is descended from Elizabeth, the daughter of King Frederik VIII . At home: Mrs Ward, despite her claims to Danish royal blood, lives in a modest home in Wiltshire . Quest: Mrs Ward took up the search for her great grandparents after her father's death . 'He . discovered his mother was connected to the Williams-Wynn family but . every time he asked a question about her, no one would tell him . anything. 'I had seen how much it had bothered my father and when he died, I vowed I would one day take up his search.' Mrs Ward and her late husband began their own search in 1969, and in 1981 the trail had led her to Copenhagen. There, the final piece in the puzzle fell into place when she tracked down the great-great granddaughter of the wet nurse who had taken the baby to Wales. The woman had promised to keep it a secret until her death, with Mrs Ward agreeing not to tell anyone until after she had died. 'Her family had kept this secret for all those years,' said Mrs Ward. 'Her great-great grandmother was the wet-nurse who had to take the newborn baby girl of the King and the Countess. 'She took her with the British ambassador all the way to north Wales and handed the baby over to a family in a village. It all fitted, and I realised the mystery had been solved. 'I promised not to tell the story until after this lady had passed on and now I can. 'All that time we were looking in north Wales for a family scandal - the daughter of one of the Williams-Wynn family getting pregnant or something like that. 'We had no idea we would discover that I was the great-granddaughter of the supposedly childless King of Denmark.

Much like her cartoon incarnation, who is forced to keep her freezing powers under wraps, Menzel spent her teenage years hiding her ability from friends. Scroll down for video . Idina Menzel suppressed the formidable vocals that made Disney's mega hit, Let It Go, a worldwide success . Menzel is the voice behind Frozen's heroine Elsa, the princess who must hide her ice-making magical powers . 'I didn't want to stand out. I didn't want other girls to be envious of me - or not like me,' Menzel said in a recent interview in The Telegraph's Stella Magazine. 'So, yes, I would hide that.' As well as her powerful vocals, Menzel felt forced to mask her strong personality when she broke into acting. 'I was afraid of being too big and too loud,' she said. 'So I went inward. But I've come back round in my 40s to not being ashamed of being bawdy and a maybe a little bit rough around the edges.' Menzel got her first break in the original New York production of Rent in 1996 and has been a stage star for the past two decades. In 2004 she won a Tony award for playing the green-skinned witch Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway. Left: Menzel sings Let It Go at the 2014 Oscar ceremony; right: In happier times with ex-husband Taye Diggs . Then last year she became the voice of Elsa in the Disney hit Frozen, the most successful animated film of all time - partly, no doubt, due to its soaring soundtrack. The film's central anthem, Let It Go, captured the imagination of children and adults alike and become a worldwide hit. It then won best song at this year's Oscars, which Menzel performed live. Menzel, who grew up in a Jewish family in New York's Long Island, says she was overwhelmed by the success of the film. While amid the whirlwind of Frozen, she faced painful drama in her personal life with the recent split from her husband of ten years, the actor Taye Diggs. The pair have a five-year-old son, Walker. The divorce has been hard and Menzel admits to being torn as a working mother, saying, 'I always feel guilty'. She also laments often missing Walker's bedtime thanks to her current stage role in If/Then, a Broadway show written specially for her. Ironically her own parents split when she was 15, prompting the actress to pledge never to divorce. And she confesses to feeling 'ashamed' that her marriage broke down but is committed to co-parenting with her ex. Currently on the agenda for Menzel is her Christmas album, Christmas Wishes. The record, which includes festive classics like Christmas Wishes, Silent Night and Baby It's Cold outside (a duet with Michael Bublé), is out now." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "The 43-year-old New Yorker didn't want other girls to be 'envious' of her .\nShe was afraid of being 'too big, too loud' as a young Broadway actress .\nRecently split from actor husband Taye Diggs, the father of her son Walker .\nSays she feels 'ashamed' about divorce but is committed to co-parenting ." } ]

There is a long way to go, of course, but it is a sign of how quickly things can change that David Sullivan and David Gold are happy to let Allardyce’s contract drift towards its expiry date at the end of the season. Allardyce has seen it all before. ‘When you’ve got 13 years in the Premier League and 20 years in the manager’s job, the anxiety of contracts is not a great hardship,’ he said. ‘If there is a turn in fortunes, I’ve still done a fantastic job and life will move on.’ It is more than a decade since Allardyce demonstrated the pressures of football management by wearing a heart monitor on the touchline for a television documentary and five years since he had cardiac surgery to remove an arterial blockage. He is a changed man. ‘I don’t feel the pressure as much,’ he said. ‘You learn to deal with it. I’ve proved myself at this level a long time ago and that makes life all the more enjoyable and you can be less worried about things that go against you.’ West Ham proved that at Turf Moor, weathering a difficult first half against a Burnley side desperate for their first win of the season before scoring three second-half goals to move up to fourth place. Diafra Sakho maintained his remarkable record since a £3.5million summer move from Metz and was involved in the other goals for Enner Valencia and Carlton Cole.

I’ll really have a very good weekend now.’ The same could not be said for Burnley after eight games without a win.

However, a . century after Captain Robert Scott and much of his Terra Nova crew perished in . a South Pole blizzard, details have emerged of how other explorers on his team survived for months by eating penguin meat and seal . blubber. A little-known account has emerged of how six of the Terra Nova's stranded explorers lived for seven months in an Antarctic ice cave, until they were strong enough to embark on a 200-mile trek for survival. Photographs, . documents and drawings which detail the party's monumental struggle for . survival have emerged 100 years after the doomed expedition - and they . are due to be sold at auction. Pictured outside their ice cave (from left to right): Commander Victor Campbell, surgeon Murrary Levick, geologist Raymond Priestly, P.O Abbott, P.O Browning and Seaman H Dickason . Dr Murray Levick was on Captain . Scott’s doomed Terra Nova expedition to the South Pole and was part of a . scientific research team that found itself marooned on pack ice. The men were forced to cocoon . themselves in an improvised igloo and live off a revolting diet of . penguin meat and seal blubber to survive. After seeing out the harsh winter they mustered the strength to trek 200 miles over five weeks to reach safety. It . is thought the crew member's incredible story of survival was largely . overlooked by history because the heroic death of Captain Scott was so sensational. The accounts, photographs and diagrams . from Dr Levick that are being sold by a private owner have brought the . remarkable tale back from the cold. Having . spent the summer months observing a colony of Adelie penguins, Levick . and the others soon realised the Terra Nova ship would not be back to . pick them up as arranged. Amazing story of survival: Levick's sketch of the ice cave igloo where he was stranded with five other explorers is revealed for the first time . Diarist: Dr Murray Levick in his finneskos - or reindeer boots (left) - and wrapped up against the elements (right) Rations menu: Levick's documentation of the men's diet reveal just how revolting it was . The vessel was unable to reach the party due to heavy pack ice. With . little food or equipment and wearing clothes unsuited for an Antarctic . winter, the men abandoned their tents and dug an ice cave - or igloo as . Dr Levick described it. He . drew a diagram of the cave including positions of where the men slept . and he described how biscuit boxes were used in the construction. He wrote how ice was good at conducting heat so the cave was surrounded by snow, which wasn’t. Stranded . on the aptly named Inexpressible Island from February to September 1912 . the men were forced to live off seal blubber and penguin meat. The . details of the diet were recorded by Dr Levick, 36, including the . effects of eating blubber that caused retching and sickness. Disgusting diet: The party survived on combination of penguin meat and seal blubber, which caused retching and sickness . He . wrote: 'We had great difficulty in eating the blubber, and as our . biscuit ration was reduced to 1 biscuit per day each, we had to eat very . large quantities of lean meat to satisfy our hunger. 'This led to a craving for starchy food that would never be satisfied.' Listing . the menu for the men between February 24 and March 17, Dr Levick wrote: . 'Morning: 1 pint hoosh (sealmeat and blubber) 1 spoonful of cocoa in a . pint of hot water. Evening: ditto.' He added: 'When all was ready the cook shouted 'mugs ready'. 'Immediately each man passed up his aluminium sledging mug...remaining in their bags to eat it.' Another problem was the lack of salt, and using sea water instead merely gave the men diarrhoea. Ill fated: Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Scott . A further predicament - one that . nearly killed them - was when a blizzard sealed the cave and the stove, . powered by seal blubber, almost asphyxiated them all. The . men, known as the Northern Party, were led by Victor Campbell, but it . was Dr Levick’s medical knowledge that ensured they lived. To pass the hours lying in their sleeping bags, Dr Levick wrote his detailed account and described how he read to the men. He wrote: 'I started reading to the party in the evenings. Our library consisted of David Copperfield, Simon the Jester, the Life of R.L.S. and Boccaccio’s Decameron. 'I started on David Copperfield and read a chapter every night.' Tobacco was another consolation and there can rarely have been a more heartfelt tribute to pipe smoking than Dr Levick’s. He wrote: 'Now pipes and tobacco have for hundreds of years soothed and cheered the heart of Man, but I do not believe that the blessings of the precious plant have ever been felt and appreciated more than they are now being felt and appreciated by us.' After seven months the men attempted to make it to safety on September 30 and arrived at Port Evans 200 miles away on November 7.

Watching movies in bed on your laptop or tablet is playing havoc with the nation's backs, a new study warned. Nearly half of all Britons confessed they used the devices before dropping off to sleep. Yet the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) said people tend to forget their posture, hunch over the screen with their spine unsupported which can damage posture and cause back or neck pain. Three fifths also watch TV in bed and four fifths of those spend up to four hours glued to the screen. But the BCA warned much of this TV time is at uncomfortable body angles. Instead it is urging Britons to make bedrooms tech free zones to improve sleep quality and better posture. BCA chiropractor, Tim Hutchful, said: 'Technology has become integral to our lives but when it comes to bedtime it is having negative repercussions on our lifestyles and bodies. 'Our research shows that nearly half (48%) of people can't sleep due to back or neck pain but technology could actually be exacerbating the problem. 'Many of my patients who can't sleep will resort to a laptop or a mobile phone to help them get to sleep, for example to watch a film, but the reality is this could further prevent them from sleeping. 'The light given off by screens stimulates the brain making us feel more awake and what's more, when people use technology in bed, they often don't pay attention to their postures which can cause pain and keep them awake. 'We're urging people to make their bedrooms tech-free zones and see what benefits can come from this.' It said laptops, tablets and smartphones should be banished from the bedrooms. If tempted to check emails one last time before bed, people should try doing this in the living room or the kitchen then switch off before retiring to bed. And instead of relying on mobiles for an alarm call, people should invest in a traditional old fashioned alarm clock as this will remove both the temptation to use it and stop its lights disrupting sleep. But if you have to use devices in bed, make sure your back is supported with a pillow and the device is propped up so it's at eye level.

But while Mrs Cartwright and her husband of 38 years enjoy their time in the sack, neighbours have been left fuming after being forced to endure years of banging sounds and screaming. 30 visits from the police later, the 53-year-old was slapped with a four-year ASBO and even endured a 12-week jail term. But, she says, she has no regrets - and no plans to stop. Scroll down for videos . No regrets: Caroline Cartwright has no regrets, despite being hit with an ASBO for having noisy sex . 'If you get to a point where the bed's banging on the wall, you're not going to stop, are you?' she laughs. 'As far as I'm concerned, that's what you should be doing. Just relax. Go with the flow. It's not as if I'm having sex and think: \"Oh, I'm making too much noise. I better be quiet\".' Mrs Cartwright's problems began when she and her husband moved into a quiet terrace of Victorian homes in Tyne and Wear. Their bedroom backed onto a neighbour's but the couple, who will appear on Channel 5's ASBO and Proud documentary, chose to splash out on a bed with an iron headboard anyway. Complaints from irate locals soon began to flood in but it wasn't just the headboard that annoyed neighbours - Mrs Cartwright's habit of screaming loudly during the act also proved a problem. 'It was a different bed from the one we have now,' she says, unrepentantly. 'We broke that one. It was a metal headboard so it used to bang on the wall.' Banned: Caroline is not allowed to shout, scream or vocalise during regular sex sessions with husband Steve . 'There was no carpet back then, so when you have sex, the bed goes back and forward,' adds Mr Cartwright, who describes the complaints as 'silliness'. Finally, after scores of visits from the police, Mrs Cartwright was handed a noise abatement order - later upgraded to an ASBO after she breached the order five times. The ASBO forbade her from 'shouting, screaming and vocalisation' during sex or from playing loud music. In a bid to get around the restrictions, Mrs Cartwright, who is unemployed, switched her sex sessions to the morning - but neighbours, who complained she was noisy enough to drown out their TVs, were left unimpressed. 'I wasn't supposed to make excessive noise that could be heard in a neigbouring property or outside,' she explains. 'As soon as I got it, I said to them [the police]: \"I guess I'm going to get arrested then\".' She duly was. 'I think we were having sex when they came to arrest me,' she remembers. 'I think we'd just finished,' adds husband Steve. In court: Caroline and her husband leave court after she was sentenced to her first prison term in 2009 . Not happy: Caroline and Steve leave court for the second time a year later having received another jail term . Misery: Rachel O'Connor is one of the neighbours whose life was made a misery by the Cartwright's noisy nocturnal antics . 'The lads in blue were knocking on the door and I let them in and they asked me what we were doing,' he continues. 'And I said we were having sex in our own house.' 'When we got to the police station, the [policeman] said: \"We're going to have to stop laughing now we're going in\",' adds Mrs Cartwright. 'They were all trying not to laugh.' What followed, however, was no laughing matter. Mrs Cartwright was taken to court, handed an eight-week suspended prison sentence and was forced to live in a bail hostel for weeks. A year later, and after scores more complaints and visits from the police, Mrs Cartwright was again arrested for breaching her ASBO following two police call outs in two days. Again, she was handed a suspended sentence, this time for 12 weeks, and sent to live in a bail hostel where she was held alongside serious criminals, including murderers. It proved an interesting experience. 'I would have been judgmental about people who went to prison before I got locked up,' she explains. 'But then you go in there and you hear the stories of why they're there, it makes you realise that it could be anyone who ends up there.' But despite her convictions, Mrs Cartwright, who has since bought a less noisy wooden bed, remains adamant that she's done nothing wrong. 'I don't see why I should stop having sex in my own house with my husband of 38 years,' she complains. 'I'm sure there could be a lot worse things I could be doing. They all thought it was stupid I was in prison. 'I mean I was in the same prison as people like Rose West for making a noise when I have sex. There could be a real crime going on while they're busy arresting me.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Caroline Cartwright, 53, was handed an ASBO for having noisy sex .\nShe was twice given suspended sentences for breaching the order .\nWas banned from 'shouting, screaming and vocalisation' during sex .\nIrate neighbours said banging and screaming drowned out TV .\nMrs Cartwright, from Tyne and Wear, says she doesn't regret a thing .\nHas bought new wooden headboard to replace noisy metal one .\nThe Cartwrights appear on ASBO and Proud, tonight at 10pm on Channel 5 ." } ]

But many Twitter users were quick to make their voices heard, and attacked the group. One Twitter commentator described Murdo MacLeod as a Tory c*** due to his rejection of independence . The Yes Scotland campaign published an aerial photograph of Alan Hansen's Merseyside home in response . The team, which includes 16 players from the 1960s to the 2000s and former Old Firm managers Billy McNeill and Walter Smith issued a joint statement through the Better Together organisation. They said: 'We are proud Scots who have been proud to represent our country around the world. When Scotland calls, we answer. 'We are proud that Scotland has always stood on its own two feet but we also believe that Scotland stands taller because we are part of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is a country Scotland helped to build. 'We urge every patriotic Scot to help maintain Scotland’s place in the United Kingdom which has served Scotland so well.'

Former Old Firm managers Billy McNeill, left, and Walter Smith, right, are 'managing' the squad of 16 . Some, such as Alan Hansen and Paddy Crerand have been criticised for joining the debate as they no longer live in Scotland. Hansen left for Liverpool in 1977 while Crerand arrived in Manchester in 1963. Other footballers such as Ally McCoist faced abuse over the fact that previous comments may have been seen as being in favour of independence. Murdo MacLeod was accused of wanting to strip and privatise the National Health Service which saved his life. Other Twitter users described him as a Tory. Other pro-independence supporters questioned Hansen's qualifications for commenting on economic matters . Paddy Crerand's relevance to the debate was raised over the length of time he has lived in England . Pro-independence activists criticised some of the players over the fact that they no longer live in Scotland . Scottish Labour's deputy leader Anas Sarwar praised the intervention of the footballers. Speaking to the Daily Record, he said: 'These men have played for the national team, have led Scotland and are now saying what they believe is best for Scotland.This shows that there is no shortage of passion and patriotism from those that are voting No. 'This isn’t a choice about whether Scotland is a nation or not as, these legends show, Scotland already is a proud nation. 'This is a choice of what vision we think is best for our future in Scotland and we believe that is solidarity, unity and teamwork.' Rangers: David Moyes and Ally McCoist have also lent their support to the No campaign . Speaking at an event to launch the statement in Glasgow, football commentator and Better Together supporter Archie Macpherson called on the No side to inject more heart into its arguments during the final days of campaigning. He said: 'It has been a logical and rational presentation of facts on the currency, North Sea oil, pensions and so on, which are absolutely vital, but it has got to be backed up with conviction and passion. 'So it is not just reasoned arguments - you have got to reach out and communicate with people.' Yes: Some supporters showed a statement by Ally McCoist designed to damage the No campaign . Mr Macpherson, who recently spoke out for the union at a rally in Dundee, added: 'All these figures played with passion - people on the terracing responded with passion, passion was at the core of football in Scotland, and it was only passion that kept us going against bigotry. 'And they are backing the last home stretch passionately and the people on the terracing will recognise that, and I am sure they will go with them.'

However, following today's announcement, members of the pro independence movement have taken to social media to criticise Hansen's intervention in the debate. One Twitter account for the Yes Scotland campaign even published an aerial photograph of Hansen's Merseyside house. The Scotland Legends campaign features former players and managers of both Celtic and Rangers . Michael Stewart, a former Scottish international footballer, pundit and Yes Scotland campaigner, said: \"It's always interesting to hear different views on this big issue, and I am hearing many, many other voices within the football world who are backing Yes. 'The real strength of the Yes campaign is seen in the many fans' groups who are backing independence right across the country. 'And this is just symbolic of the groups and movements from all walks of life in the powerful, ever-growing grassroots movement who, I believe, will help deliver the all-important Yes vote in just over a week's time.' In recent weeks, celebrities such as JK Rowling, Sir Alex Ferguson and Susan Boyle have all previously come out in support of a no vote. David Bowie used his acceptance speech at the Brit Awards to urge 'Scotland stay with us'. However, comedian Frankie Boyle and James Bond star Sir Sean Connery have both said Scotland would benefit by independence.

Despite the massive bill to taxpayers, the Healthcare.gov still doesn't work properly ten days after it was launched - allowing only a handful of Americans to sign up for plans on the insurance exchange market. And experts warn that the site is likely to continue to experience significant glitches for months to come as engineers work out the bugs they failed to to spot before the site went live on October 1. The price tag for the broken healthcare site is more than four as high as what the government initially meant to pay. Failure: This is the error message MailOnline received on Thursday when a reporter tried to sign in to Healthcare.gov. Some content on the site doesn't even appear to have been proof-read . It appears that only a handful of users have been able to sign up for health insurance through Healthcare.gov ten days after the site launched . In 2011, the Obama Administration agreed to pay contractor CGI Federal $93.7 million to build, launch and maintain Healthcare.gov. In the two and years since CGI Federal won the bid to build the Obamacare site, the company requested more and more money to cover cost over-runs. And the federal government had agreed. Experts say the site has dramatic problems with the back-end architecture has resulted in servers becoming overloaded and bogging down. But the interface is also a problem. Much of the site contains grammatical and typographical errors. Java Script errors prevent pages from loading correctly in browsers. Even more infuriating, Andrew Couts of Digital Trends points out, is the fact that much larger, more successful sites have been built for far less money. CGI has collected $634 million overall in Department of Health and Human Services contracts since 2006. Facebook operated for its six years, until June 2010, on less than $600 million in outside funding - a acquiring more than half a billion users and more than 130million monthly unique page views. Twitter, founded in 2006, operated on $360 million in investment until 2011 - when servers were processing more than 140 million tweets a day. The October 1 roll out of health insurance exchanges is one of the key pieces President Barack Obama's health care law . The professional social network LinkedIn built a base of more than 230 million users with $200 million in funding. The Washington Post reports that 4.7 million people tried to log onto the site in the first 24 hours. But, the government has refused to release traffic number for Healthcare.gov since. On Thursday, the site allowed visitors to create a username, but was not allowing log-ins. Digitial Trends points out that it's not as though the United States of is short on talent when it comes to developing online software - Americans invested the Internet itself, after all. CGI Federal has refused to comment on the glitches and why Healthcare.gov has failed to work - or when full service might be restored. Government contractor CGI Federal won the contract to build Healthcare.gov two years ago - for $94million . The Department of Better Technology, a federal contractor that competes with CGI Federal, sheds some insight into why the Healthcare.gov contract might have failed so spectacularly. 'That cancer is called “procurement” and it’s primarily a culture driven cancer one that tries to mitigate so much risk that it all but ensures it.

Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken about the managers who could replace him, his desire to win back the title from Manchester City and why the return of his 'warrior' captain Nemanja Vidic could make the difference. Ferguson was interviewed by Abu Dhabi Sports, when he was also asked about the prospect of Manchester United signing Mario Balotelli from their arch rivals and who he believes is the better player: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Ferguson, who also spoke highly of Robin van Persie - but did not mention Wayne Rooney once in the interview - said he is still 'hoping to stay for a bit of time' at Old Trafford. Many happy returns: Sir Alex Ferguson gave a wide-ranging interview in Abu Dhabi on his 71st birthday . 'In terms of football management, I have achieved everything I always wished for. It's been a great journey for me. But being manager of Manchester United, you have to kick on. You can't look back. The drive is always on to do better, although it's not easy in the Barclays Premier League. It's a difficult league. And European football is getting stronger and stronger. 'You have to think of where we lost it last season. We were 4-2 at Everton and didn't win. That won't happen again. Trust me. Our rivals are Manchester City and possibly Chelsea. We recovered a 12 point disadvantage to catch Newcastle one year and lost 11 point lead to Arsenal, so it's (Chelsea) is possible, but it's City who are the biggest danger.' Asked about managers who will replace him, Ferguson said with a smile: 'There is no-one on the agenda, but somebody will have to replace me... The fire still burns: Manchester United's manager is as combative as ever after more than 25 years at Old Trafford . 'I'm hoping to stay on for a bit of time, anyway. 'It's very difficult. Over the years, names have been bandied about but football is such a precarious industry. But you could be talking about one of the potentially exciting young managers in the game, but is he going to be here in two or three years time. The sack race is horrendous. 'Sometimes a manager can only survive four games if he doesn't win a match. It's impossible to say who is going to be there.' Ferguson is then asked about Everton's David Moyes and Jose Mourinho. He says: 'There will always be names bandied about and they are all qualified people. Nobody knows where they are going to be in two or three years time. 'Top managers will always been in demand. Heirs to the throne? Jose Mourinho (top left), Pep Guardiola (top right) and David Moyes (below) 'Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and David Moyes... there are a lot of successful managers out there. I don't know what their plans are in two or three years time.' Ferguson spoke highly of striker Robin van Persie, signed from Arsenal last summer. 'He certainly is magnificent players. He brings maturity, he is a proven goalscorer, a proven international and and is at a good age. He is helping our young strikers, Chicharito and Danny Welbeck. He's been outstanding since he came.' He also welcomed the return of Nemanja Vidic. 'He has been out for a year and three months, although he has played a few games. He's our captain, a real warrior and our leader.' Forward talking: Fergie praised Robin van Persie (top)... but failed to mention Wayne Rooney (below) And he was asked if United could win the league and European Cup double, a feat they managed in both 1999 and 2008. 'It's hard to marry the two together,' he replied. 'We've done it in the past and there is no reason why we can't do it this season too.' He was critical of United's success in Europe, however, and believes they should have won more than the two European Cups in his time as manager. 'I think our club should have done better. Sometimes we have been unlucky, sometimes we have been disappointing and other times, we have thrown it away.' Ferguson also praised his wife Kathy, to whom he has been married for 47 years. 'Without her backing and support, there is no way I'd have lasted as long as I have,' he said. No chance! Controversial Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli (centre) appears not to be on Fergie's radar . And when asked to decide who is the better player: Real Madrid forward Ronaldo or Barcelona's Messi, he replied: 'They are both the best in the world. They have different qualities, but they both have fantastic desire. 'Pride to play, pride to prepare. Ronaldo practiced for hours, that's what made him a great player. We had the privilege of him for six years and he will go down as one of the best players this club has ever had.' Finally, the interviewer asks him if he would like to sign Balotelli for United from City.

The career civil servants, who process data inside the agency, confirmed independently that just 6,200 Americans applied for health insurance through the problem-plagued website on October 1, the day it first opened to the public. Neither HHS nor the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services would comment on the record about the numbers. Enroll America, on Obama administration-related organization that aims to help Americans sign up, only replied to a request for information a day after this article was first published. 'I don’t have any hard numbers beyond what HHS and the state-based exchanges have released,' said spokesman Justin Nisly, who insisted that Americans have been 'enthusiastic' and 'grateful' for Obamacare. The White House did not respond to emails seeking comment. But several administration officials have claimed this month that they didn't have access to the kinds of raw figures MailOnline obtained from the people who work for them. And the anemic totals suggest a far lower level of interest in coverage through the Affordable Care Act than the Obama administration has hoped to see. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . More than a week into the glitch-littered launch of the Obamacare insurance exchanges, MailOnline has learned that just 51,000 Americans have used Healthcare.gov to enroll . Organizing For Action, the latest incarnation of President Obama's 2012 campaign organization, celebrated the Oct. 1 launch of the Obamacare exchanges in Lehigh, Pennsylvania, but the numbers so far have been nothing to celebrate . Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, a . Republican who chairs the House Ways & Means Health Subcommittee, . said that 'if the numbers are accurate,' they show 'that relatively few people have . navigated the challenges of the first step of the process – roughly the . population of a small town in my district.' 'The . White House and HHS have continually claimed they did not have these . figures,' Brady told MailOnline. 'If they do, they have misled the . Congress and the American people.' The low numbers . also reflect a level of technological frustration on the part of . Americans whose attempts to investigate their new health insurance . options have been met with crashes, error messages and interminable . delays. CNN host Wolf Blitzer agreed on Wednesday that the White House . should consider granting Republicans' demands for a one-year delay of the rule requiring individual taxpayers to buy insurance, given the failings of the glitch-prone enrollment website . that has produced more headaches than new customers. ‘If . they weren’t fully ready, they should accept the advice that a lot of . Republicans are giving them,' Blitzer said. 'Delay it another year, get . it ready, and make sure it works' 'I don't know': HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on The Daily Show that she hadn't seen Obamacare enrollment numbers . Obama was passionate on launch day, saying in a Rose Garden ceremony that millions of Americans would benefit from the Affordable Care Act. But so far those numbers have seemed far out of reach . The open enrollment period for Obamacare coverage is slated to last for six months. If the first week's total were an indication of how many Americans will sign up during that time through the Obama administration's website, its final tally would reach a paltry 1.32 million. Healthcare.gov provides enrollment services for Americans in 36 states; the remaining 14 states and the District of Columbia, which operate enrollment programs in their own exchanges, represent 33.7 per cent of the U.S. population, according to census projections. If the state-run exchanges were to have a similar response rate for six months, the national enrollment total would be approximately 2 million. That number is less than 29 per cent of the 7 million the Obama administration would need, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, in order to balance the new health insurance system's books and keep it from financial collapse. 'The administration’s goal is seven million people in the first year,' Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist, a long-time Obamacare opponent, told MailOnline. 'We are not on track for anything like seven million. New Coke was retired for being a smaller disappointment.' 'There was no good reason to hide these number,' he said. 'This is not keeping a secret from the Russians or the Syrians. ... Why lie about this, . for crying out loud?' 'These numbers reflect what we all know: Obamacare is a disaster,' Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn told MailOnline. 'It is time for the . president to admit Obamacare is not working and that the American people . deserve better.' Spokespersons for five different Democratic senators declined to provide comment, with most saying they are paying greater attention to the debt-ceiling and government-shutdown standoffs that have gripped Washington, D.C. since before Oct. 1. 'These numbers reflect what we all know,' said Texas GOP Senator John Cornyn (C). 'Obamacare is a disaster.' Rep. Kevin Brady, an outspoken Texas Republcan, said everyone who has used the federal government's website to enroll in Obamacare would fit in a single small town in his legislative district . House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee chair Darrell Issa, a California Republican, said the small enrollment numbers are a symptom of a larger problem. 'Far more people have been unable to complete their applications because of crashing websites or impossible wait times than have successfully enrolled,' said Issa. 'Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and the window for open enrollment gets smaller every day.' They've lost Wolf: CNN personality Wolf Blitzer, who seldom aligns himself with Republicans, said Wednesday that the White House should give Republicans the Obamacare delay they seek, if only to give tech issues time to sort themselves out . Issa said Wednesday during a committee hearing on Capitol Hill that 'in just the past decade, the federal government cancelled at least fifteen major IT projects after wasting $10 billion on their development. But none of those costly mistakes were anywhere near as big or complex, as Obamacare.' The White House aims to see the health care exchanges enroll at least 2.7 million young, healthy people between the ages of 18 and 35, whose monthly premiums are needed to offset the cost of health care for older, sicker Americans. It's unclear how many of the early enrollees fall in that age group. A projected enrollment total of 2 million would also represent just 4 per cent of the overall number who could participate. 'More than 50 million Americans qualify for the Obamacare exchanges,' Americans for Limited Government vice president Rick Manning pointed out, claiming that 'this paltry response is a clear rejection of the system.' It remains possible, according to the sources who provided the enrollment data, that overall rates of enrollment will tick up after the much-maligned healthcare.gov website is retrofitted with technology fixes that allow more Americans to navigate it smoothly. White House Press Secretary Jay . Carney drew criticism on Monday after he . boasted that website response times were cut by one-third after the . Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services implemented virtual . 'waiting rooms' that allowed users to trickle in according to the load the . government's servers could handle. Another flood of customers could hypothetically come in after Jan. 1, the sources said, if a significant number of private employers cancel their employee benefit plans and dump their workers into the Affordable Care Act's health care exchanges. 'You should ask HHS. I don't have a number,' said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Oct. 4, when reporters quizzed him on Obamacare enrollment numbers . Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Sunday on Fox News that 'it's obviously not my primary area of responsibility' to know how many Obamacare enrollees have clicked the error-prone 'submit' button . The availability of raw Obamacare enrollment numbers will come as an embarrassment to the Obama administration, since its public faces have insisted that such figures are unknown or unknowable. Carney reiterated on Monday that the administration would 'release enrollment data on regularly, monthly intervals.' 'I'm not sure when that begins,' he told reporters, 'but I'm sure we'll let you know in plenty of time so you can plan and put it on your calendar.' 'The clock is ticking,' says Rep. Darrell Issa, 'and the window for open enrollment gets smaller every day' That night, Comedy Central host Jon Stewart asked Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on 'The Daily Show' how many Americans had enrolled in Obamacare. 'I can't tell you,' the secretary answered, 'because I don't know.' An unnamed senior White House official told CNN host Jake Tapper on Monday that the administration would start releasing numbers after November 1, and would combine data from healthcare.gov with those from more than a dozen states that run their own health insurance exchanges, in order 'to have a good picture of what's happening across the country.' Sen. Ted Cruz, the feisty tea party standard-bearer who led a lengthy quasi-filibuster last month that raised the profile of what Republicans say are Obamacare's legal and philosophical shortcomings, said Thursday that 'every day our concerns are validated as we learn more about how the law can’t deliver on its promises.' 'The law has failed on every single measure,' Cruz told MailOnline. 'It does not make healthcare more affordable or accessible. It does the opposite.' Tea Party Patriots national coordinator Jenny Beth Martin said Thursday that the Obamacare enrollment numbers were unlikely to keep pace with the numbers of Americans who are losing their insurance as the program goes into effect. 'Over 800,000 people in New Jersey alone have lost their current health insurance in the last month,' Martin said, 'yet nationwide only 51,000 people have received health insurance from Obamacare. The numbers just do not add up.' Overlaid on top of Obamacare's rocky launch has been a partial government shutdown whose broad personnel layoffs have compounded what was already a difficult rollout. On Wednesday a press spokesperson who answered a Department of Health and Human Services press line told MailOnline to allow at least 24 hours for a comment – one which never came anyway. 'We're in furlough status right now, so we're short-staffed,' she said. 'All our requests are going through email.

Eight thousand British soldiers – many serving on the front line in Afghanistan – will be told days after Christmas that they are to lose their jobs. Redundancy notices will be sent to servicemen and women telling them their careers are over as part of sudden speeded-up cutbacks by the Ministry of Defence. The Army has already been shaken by the announcement of a swathe of cuts, which included the loss of historic regiments and the prospect of a gradual reduction in personnel over the next eight years. But now The Mail on Sunday has discovered that the MoD will make a single devastating cut of 8,000 servicemen and women, reducing the Army to 86,000 – its smallest size since the 1700s. A further 4,000 soldiers will go before 2020. The axe will fall across every branch and regiment of the Regular Army, with only Special Forces ringfenced. Thousands of soldiers will disappear from regiments such as the Royal Welsh, the Royal Fusiliers, the Royal Engineers, the Royal Lancers and the Army Air Corps, which includes Prince Harry among its officers. The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers is expected to lose 600 of its most skilled personnel, while the Royal Logistics Corps will also be badly hit. Last night serving officers, military experts and MPs condemned the drastic measure as a stab in the back for soldiers and a blow to the Army’s capability. Former commander Tim Collins, who led the Royal Irish Regiment into Iraq in 2003, said: ‘This is meltdown. We’re still fighting in Afghanistan, the world is changing rapidly and looks increasingly dangerous yet the Government is crippling our operational capability. ‘The sheer size of the redundancies in a single hit will devastate morale and send totally the wrong message to soldiers on the front line. In the new year they could find envelopes on their doormats with bad news inside. The job cuts across the Army cannot sit alongside Britain’s commitments to its operations against the Taliban and terrorist organisations appearing in other countries.’ In another move, British Army officers would be forced to retire at 45 – ten years earlier than at present – in a radical proposal by a Conservative member of the Defence Select Committee. Outspoken: Former commander Lt Colonel Tim Collins, pictured in Iraq, described the cuts as 'crippling' Drastic: A further 4,000 soldiers will go by 2020 - leaving the Army at its smallest size since the 1700s . Julian Brazier MP wants to pare down the number of senior officers, leaving just a small cadre to fill specialist positions advising politicians. The plan, called ‘Manning The Army Of The Future’, represents the most drastic change to the structure of the Army since the Second World War. Under his proposal, which could become policy by 2015 if it is approved by the Government, thousands of senior officers will be forced out. Currently the Army has just over 7,000 senior officers holding the ranks of Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier, Major General, Lieutenant General and General. Their starting salaries at these ranks range from £47,760 to £148,000. Controversial: Conservative MP Julian Brazier, on the Defence Select Committee, has proposed that all British Army officers be forced to retire at 45 . The majority of these officers are 45 or older and reducing their numbers by half would save £144 million a year. Mr Brazier believes the top end of the Army is ‘over-commanded’ and ‘over-administered’ and wants the money saved on salaries to be used on benefits such as housing for serving officers. But former commander of British Forces in Bosnia Bob Stewart, now a Conservative MP, said: ‘If the “Career to 45” scheme is introduced many of the most talented officers will leave in their early thirties. Why would they hang around to 45, by which time they might struggle to find really good jobs in the major industries?’ The sending out of 8,000 sacking letters after Christmas has stunned senior personnel. One major, who expects to be among those selected for redundancy, accused the Prime Minister of ‘cowardice’. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said: ‘The Government and the Prime Minister want the redundancies out of the way in 2013 so their disgusting treatment of frontline soldiers is forgotten about by the time of the next General Election. ‘They don’t care what this reduction in Britain’s fighting capability will do to morale or to our combat effectiveness. All they care about is what is on voters’ minds the year after. This is a most cruel example of political expediency. The redundancies and the commitment to shrink the Army to a strength of 82,000 could have been met by natural wastage, a slowing down of recruitment and cherry-picking those who are the most keen to leave. ‘Some really good people are going to be chopped, some of them who are serving in Afghanistan now – their post-operational tour holiday periods will end just in time for the Government to hand them a P45. Morale will take a skydive.’ More cuts: The news comes after Defence Secretary Philip Hammond announced the loss of 17 units back in July . In July, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond announced the total loss of 17 units. At the time no schedule for the redundancies was confirmed. Only those soldiers about to deploy to Afghanistan and those serving on the front line that month will be safe from the January cull. No redundancy notices will be posted to Camp Bastion. The MoD said last night: ‘There are no plans to make any further reductions beyond the changes announced last year. The size and timing of any future redundancies has yet to be determined, however we aim to remove uncertainty for Army personnel and their families as soon as possible. Difficult decisions have had to be taken to deal with the multi-billion-pound black hole in the defence budget.’ It added that it had no plans to change the retirement age for senior officers. Since publication of the above article and a comment piece in the Mail on Sunday, MP Julian Brazier wrote this response: . Your article ... did not take into account my proposals for pensions and the prospects for redundancies. You . claimed my support for the brilliant General Sir Frank Kitson’s . blueprint of moving from a three quarter career to a half career would . reduce pensions for many. In fact I stated it would require a generous . boost to pension rights and, obviously, those following a proper second . career will have many years to add to their pension pots. My . proposals offer a route to a larger deployable force, and protect . essential benefits. I have repeatedly defended Army pension rights in . Parliament and am campaigning to get justice for a group of officers . made redundant just before their earliest pension date. Also, . if an 8,000 reduction really is planned, far more of those people would . be leaving through natural wastage and voluntary redundancy than . compulsory discharge. Julian Brazier MP .

They calculate that more than 52,000 patients a year are having their odds of survival cut because the disease is not being caught quickly enough. The shocking figure is based on huge variations in diagnosis around England, with some cancers almost five times as likely to be diagnosed late in some parts of the country as others. Lung cancer is the most likely to be spotted late – with fewer than one in four cases caught early. Late diagnosis is blamed on factors from a ‘stiff upper lip’ to GPs under pressure not to refer patients for costly tests. Cancer Research UK, which commissioned the analysis of NHS data, said that early diagnosis is ‘crucial to give patients the best chance of survival’. Delays in treatment can not only be deadly, but can also mean patients are subjected to much more aggressive treatments than would have been necessary earlier in the disease’s progress. For instance, a woman with breast cancer might only have surgery if the tumour is spotted early. But if the disease has spread, she may face rounds of gruelling chemotherapy and radiotherapy as well. Overall, 46 per cent of cancer in England are diagnosed at an advanced stage – when they have spread to other parts of the body, making them harder to treat. The figure rises to 77 per cent for lung cancer, Britain’s biggest cancer killer. When it is diagnosed early, seven in ten patients will live at least a year – compared to around one in four when found late. Cancer Research UK’s chief executive Harpal Kumar said: ‘Not to invest in earlier diagnosis is to fail cancer patients' If every part of the country did as well as the best, the ‘survival prospects’ of more than 52,000 patients a year would be improved, the Incisive Health report estimates. This does not mean all would be cured – some would simply live longer or be spared gruelling treatments. But 5,000 more patients would be alive five years after diagnosis. The added cost of treating advanced cancer means that catching the disease early would also save the NHS an estimated £210million a year. Cancer Research UK’s chief executive Harpal Kumar said: ‘Not to invest in earlier diagnosis is to fail cancer patients. ‘Earlier diagnosis saves lives and it could save critical NHS funds - and in the face of an overstretched NHS and a projected growing number of cancers diagnosed in the years ahead, we need to do everything we can to ensure that all patients have access to the best treatment as early as possible.’ NHS England said it is working to improve outcomes for patients though earlier diagnosis.

Andy Carroll’s heading ability makes him feared as a striker, and he was crucial in setting up Diafra Sakho’s winning goal at Bristol City. But the giant England forward is just as important to West Ham for his defensive work. The goal line clearance that stopped Matt Smith putting Bristol City in front was one of 12 headers that Carroll won out of 19 he contested in the FA Cup tie. More than half of those were in Hammers’ own penalty box helping deal with corners and free kicks, rather than when the team were attacking. Andy Carroll's (left) strength and height becomes a welcome addition to West Ham when they defend corners . Diafra Sakho (C) celebrates with team mates Aaron Cresswell (L) and Carroll as West Ham take the lead . 2. Louis van Gaal was still at the World Cup with Holland and yet to take over at Old Trafford when Manchester United paid £30million for Ander Herrera and it’s beginning to look as if he was a player the Dutchman didn’t really want. The 25-year-old Spaniard got on for only the last 23 minutes of the 0-0 at League Two Cambridge and that’s typical of how rarely he has figured for van Gaal. He has had injuries – but even when fit all but two of his last nine appearances in a United shirt have been as a substitute. Ander Herrera has struggled to impress Louis van Gaal and was only used as a sub against Cambridge . Herrera arrived at the club before Van Gaal took charge and reports suggest he is willing to let him leave . 3. One of the reasons van Gaal is said to be willing to let Herrera move on is that he wants more pace in wide areas – so he’ll be pleased to note the sudden progress being made by Wilfried Zaha since Alan Pardew took over at Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old, loaned out for the season by United but never a regular when Neil Warnock was in charge, has started three of the four games under Pardew. It’s clearly helping his confidence, involved in the creation of all three goals in the FA Cup win at Southampton. Van Gaal will be pleased to hear that on loan winger Wilfried Zaha has upped his game under Alan Pardew . 4. If Jordan Henderson is really going to step up as the Anfield successor to Steven Gerrard he needs to add more regular goal scoring to his repertoire. There were other players who were more guilty of missing chances in the 0-0 draw with Bolton, but 24-year-old Henderson had two good openings and failed to convert them in the way Gerrard in his prime would have led the side. Henderson has just two goals in all competitions from 31 appearances this season, after hitting five in 39 last term. Jordan Henderson is being touted as the next Liverpool captain but critics feel he needs to score more goals . Henderson shakes hands with former Liverpool youngster Jay Spearing during their 0-0 draw with Bolton . 5. There’s been much talk of how Chelsea need to keep Diega Costa and Nemanja Matic fit for their assault on multiple silverware but it is John Terry who remains the real heartbeat of the side. At 34 the Blues skipper sat out of the FA Cup clash with Bradford for a rest – only the fifth of Chelsea’s 34 matches so far this season he’s not figured in. But it’s hard to imagine Jose Mourinho’s side would have fallen apart so badly against League One opposition of their Captain, Leader, Legend had been on the pitch. Jose Mourinho would've been shocked to see how badly his Chelsea side were dismantled at Stamford Bridge . Keeping Diego Costa fit will be a huge bonus for Chelsea, but it was John Terry they missed in Bradford loss . 6. Former England Under 21 defender Craig Dawson started the season as first choice partner for Joleon Lescott at West Brom but lost his place in early December. The 24-year-old who began life playing part-time football while working in a pub collecting glasses is clearly determined to show new boss Tony Pulis he should get another chance. He was Albion’s best defender at Birmingham, making 14 clearances as his team fought off a second half onslaught from their Championship neighbours to hang on to a 2-1 win.

Winger Marc Albrighton could finally be about to get a proper chance to force his way into Leicester’s team after a disappointing time since moving from Aston Villa in search of regular first team football. The 25-year-old has started only two games all season – ironically one of them being the 1-0 win t’s against Villa. But his 17 minute cameo at Tottenham was crucial to the comeback mounted by Nigel Pearson’s side, involved in the build-up to the equaliser and then hitting the cross for Jeffrey Schlupp’s dramatic injury time winner.

Marc Albrighton was given the chance to shine against Tottenham and he certainly did as he set up Schlupp . 8. Nigel Clough had a huge reputation for bringing through young players at Derby and he’s doing the same thing at Sheffield United. The Blades boss made eight changes at Preston from the side which had performed so heroically at Spurs a few days earlier in the Capital One Cup. Curiously one of the three whose legs were felt fresh enough for two big cup ties just three days apart was 17-year-old Louis Reed. Already the youngest ever to play for United when he made his debut at 16 and 257 days, the midfielder easily got through 90 minutes as his side fought back from a goal down to earn a replay.

Caretaker Steve Lovell is doing his chances of landing the job at Gillingham permanently after seeing his side beat Oldham to score back-to-back home League wins for the first time since last March. Gills chairman Paul Scally is still searching for a boss after Neil Ardley and his number two Neil Cox chose to stay at AFC Wimbledon. That’s given an extended chance to 54-year-old Lovell, who played 233 games as a striker for the Gills in the late 1980s and has made it clear he wants to stay in charge.

This came amid new reports that almost 4,000 Russia troops are massing in Crimea close to Ukraine's mainland. 'If I wanted, Russian troops could not only be in Kiev in two days, but in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw or Bucharest, too,' Putin was quoted as threatening, according to Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko. All are former USSR or Soviet-bloc cities and apart from Ukraine their countries are now NATO and EU members. Scroll down for video . Putin, pictured here at a meeting of the Russian State Council, boasted Russia could be in Kiev in two days - and also in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw and Bucarest . Putin allegedly also boasted to Poroshenko about his ability to squash European Union initiatives through bilateral contacts urging him 'not to rely too much on the EU'. The Kremlin leader claimed he could 'influence and block the adoption of decisions at the level of the European Council', it was alleged. Respected German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung reported that Poroshenko passed on the threat of invasion to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, citing EU diplomatic sources. Poroshenko warned the US Congress of a threat to 'global security everywhere' posed by the Russian aggression against his nation. 'If they are not stopped now, they will cross European borders and spread throughout the globe,' he said. The EU failed to deny the extraordinary threat from Putin, though the Kremlin dismissed the German newspaper report. 'We will not conduct diplomacy in the media or discuss extracts of what are confidential conversations,' said EU Commission spokeswoman Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen sidestepping the question. 'What matters to the EU is to contribute to lasting peace, prosperity and stability in Ukraine.' Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the claim as 'another canard', alleging was as inaccurate as an earlier claim that Putin had boasted he could storm Kiev in two weeks. 'We consider it possible not to pay attention to such reports anymore,' he said. However, Kiev claimed that Russia was massing troops in annexed Crimea, just as Poroshenko was meeting Barack Obama in Washington. Poroshenko, pictured here in Washington today, passed on the threat of invasion to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, citing EU sources . NATO leaders have backed Ukraine claiming that a new rapid-reaction 'spearhead' force could be deployed within a year. The force, which will have 4,000 to 5,000 troops on standby is designed to be deployed in the field within three days. NATO leaders believe a strong western response will curtail Vladimir Putin's expansion plans. The NATO move is in response to Ukrainian requests for more assistance from western powers to curtail Putin. Mr Poroshenko's accusations came as a rocket shelling appeared to take place near the front line in Zuivka, some 30 miles east of Donetsk . Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said: 'Please understand me correctly. Blankets, night-vision goggles are also important. But one cannot win the war with blankets. Even more, we cannot keep the peace with a blanket.' Mr Poroshenko welcomed the defensive equipment pledged by the US but called on the west to supply Ukraine with offensive weapons. Almost all Russian military units 'in the north of occupied Crimea' were pushed close to mainland Ukraine 'along with all their equipment and ammunition', said National Security and Defence Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko. Despite Kremlin denials, the alleged Putin claim created a wave of angst across eastern Europe. Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet warned in the wake of Putin's comments: 'We shouldn't let the public stress level rise all the time since it's not helping anybody.' More shelling in Zuivka: Kiev claimed that Russia was massing troops in annexed Crimea even as Poroshenko was meeting U.S. leaders in Washington . He added: 'It is clear that the security situation in Europe has changed due to the events in Ukraine.' Lithuania announced a weekend meeting of NATO top brass in Vilnius amid high anxiety over Russia's actions in Ukraine. 'For us, it is important that the NATO military chiefs discuss how to strengthen the security of the Baltic region,' said Defence Minister Juozas Olekas. Poroshenko said his country was now angled to the West . 'Ukraine crossed the Rubicon and ruined any hopes to restore the Soviet Union. We are a European nation,' he said. But he warned that in Europe the 'post-war mechanisms of security are no longer working. The world ought to review its security systems'." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Putin was quoted threatening that Russia could be in Kiev in two days - and also in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw and Bucarest .\nAll are former USSR or Soviet-bloc cities and apart from Ukraine their countries are now NATO and EU members .\nAllegedly claimed he could 'influence and block the adoption of decisions at the level of the European Council'\nEU failed to deny threat though the Kremlin dismissed report .\nNATO's new rapid reaction force should be up and running within a year .\nUkraine called on the west to supply them with additional military equipment ." } ]

The 51-year-old, who succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson as boss at Old Trafford but only lasted nine months, apparently snapped after receiving a torrent of abuse at The Emporium, in Clitheroe. The alleged victim is 23-year-old joiner Joshua Gillibrand. Investigation: Moyes was present at the bar in Clitheroe at the time of the assault . Incident: Joshua Gillibrand claims he was attacked at just after 10pm on Wednesday night . Moyes is said to have been enraged when one drinker goaded him about his recent sacking and called him 's* and something about having never won anything', a witness said. The 51-year-old was sacked by United in April after a disastrous first season at Old Trafford which saw United surrender their Premier League title and fail to win a trophy. In the resulting furore, a table was almost upturned and glasses sent smashing on the floor during a brief scuffle near the bar entrance. Mr Gillibrand, a joiner, allegedly suffered a lump on the side of his head and a bruised shoulder in the confrontation but did not need hospital treatment. Police today confirmed they had launched an investigation into the fracas and were set to speak to the ex-Everton boss. Location: The Emporium wine bar in Clitheroe, Lancashire, where the alleged assault took place . The incident happened at around 10pm on Wednesday after Moyes and friends – including Derek Shaw, the chairman of Preston FC while Moyes was manager there - had enjoyed a meal at Piccolino in Clitheroe before crossing the road and making their way to the nearby Emporium wine bar. A group of revellers were standing outside the bar enjoying a drink after a warm day but when they saw the former manager arrive they began making abusive remarks. A witness said: ‘Moyes started to head with his mates in but he was being barracked by drinkers outside who were giving him grief. ‘He was getting a bit of lip from a couple of blokes and then one guy, who was a bit drunk, said something about him being st and having never won anything. Injured: Mr Gillibrand allegedly suffered a lump on the side of his head and a bruised shoulder in the confrontation but did not need hospital treatment . ‘Moyes kept his head down and carried on walking towards the door with his friend and everyone thought he was just ignoring the banter. 'It was crazy. No-one could quite believe what had happened. We were stunned. He’s obviously had enough of all the abuse he’s been getting.’ A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: ‘Officers attended the bar at about 10pm on Wednesday, May 21 and it was reported that a 23-year-old local man had been assaulted by a 51 year old man. He did not require hospital treatment. ‘Inquiries are ongoing and we are speaking to a number of people to try to establish the circumstances. There are a number of differing accounts which we need to work through to try to establish exactly what has happened. No-one has been arrested at this stage.’ A spokeswoman for the Emporium said: ‘There was an incident outside the building. However it did not affect any of our customers or staff and has been dealt with by the police.' Out in public: Former United boss Moyes attended the LMA Awards in London last week . On the course: Moyes (right) played golf with LMA chief Richard Bevan on May 14 in Spain . Another witness told the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times that what happened was nothing more than a scuffle. 'Around 10pm, one of the men [in Moyes' group] . went outside, perhaps for a cigarette, when he became involved in a . heated argument. A table was knocked over, but that was as serious as it . got.

'That is the Champions League, the Premier League or the FA Cup.

Victors: Pellegrini won the Premier League in his first season at the club last time out . That looks like a decent start in terms of working towards Soriano's goal, but when asked ahead of Sunday's Community Shield clash with Arsenal about the chief executive's comments, Pellegrini said: 'I don't have a target to win five titles. 'Every time I play a competition, I want to win it. 'But that thing that we have to win five titles in five years - for me it is not important.' Pellegrini was keen to emphasise the point that his side will be doing their utmost to claim silverware at every opportunity. Asked about his priorities for the season, the Chilean said: 'For this year, our target is exactly the same as last year. 'We will play in the four competitions we must play in and we will try to continue in all competitions as far as we can. Exactly the same as last year. 'We continue trying to win the Premier League, the FA Cup, the Capital One Cup and the Champions League, and we will see during the season what we can do.' City have so far made five new signings this summer in goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Bacary Sagna and midfielders Fernando, Bruno Zuculini - a deal completed late on Friday - and Frank Lampard, who has joined from the club's American sister outfit New York City FC on loan until January after leaving Chelsea. Pellegrini feels he has a stronger squad than last season, but is not about to make any predictions about exactly how potent they might be. Pressure: Willy Caballero has arrived to challenge Joe Hart for No 1 spot . Acquisition: Whilst Bacary Sagna has arrived to challenge Pablo Zabaleta at right-back .

'The only target of our squad is the same as last year - to try to win the four competitions that we are going to play. Of the new recruits, only Caballero, Fernando and Zuculini might feature in Sunday's match at Wembley, with City set to have eight players missing. Lampard is deemed not ready to be involved yet and the same applies to Sagna, along with Sergio Aguero, Pablo Zabaleta, Martin Demichelis, Fernandinho and skipper Vincent Kompany - a sextet who were involved in the knockout stages of the World Cup. Alvaro Negredo is the other man to miss out due to his foot injury. Press for success: City chief Ferran Soriano has set the goal of one trophy per year . Meanwhile, Arsenal's trio of World Cup winners Per Mertesacker, Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski are also unavailable having been given extra rest after their triumph in Brazil. Although acknowledging there will be a considerable number of high-profile absentees, Pellegrini is adamant the contest will be more than just a glorified friendly. 'Of course it is not a friendly match,' the 60-year-old said. 'It is an important game against an important team in Arsenal. 'Maybe both teams do not arrive in our best moment because both have a lot of players who are just getting back after the World Cup.

The 31-cap playmaker made his first start for Arsene Wenger's men after injury on Tuesday night and played for 90 minutes as they threw away a three-goal lead to draw with Anderlecht in the Champions League. Former Gunners striker Charlie Nicholas picked out Ramsey for particular criticism in his post-match analysis, which included the belief that the 23-year-old is going backwards after a sensational last campaign which included an FA Cup final winner. Aaron Ramsey cuts a forlorn figure as Arsenal surrendered a three-goal lead to draw with Anderlecht . Wales manager Chris Coleman defended Ramsey from criticism as he announced his squad for the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifier with Belgium . Former Arsenal striker Charlie Nicholas suggested Ramsey had regressed while talking on Sky Sports . When asked if he felt the comments were unfair during the announcement of his squad to face Belgium next Sunday, Coleman said: 'Yes. Charlie Nicholas is paid to give his opinion as a pundit but it is not as black and white as that. It can't be. 'Charlie was a player himself. No player plays well in every game and every month and Charlie should know that. They have good spells and bad spells. 'If Aaron is not at his best at the minute then the next game or the week or two weeks after he will be at his best. 'Aaron has played a lot of games for us where he has dictated the tempo of the game at both ends of the pitch. If you can do that you have got to be a good player.

Ramsey is one of eight players heading to Brussels having recovered from injury, a list that also includes defenders James Collins, Paul Dummett and Adam Matthews. But it is in midfield where Coleman's squad has received the biggest boost with Wigan midfielder Emyr Huws and playmaker Jonny Williams, who limped off after a star display against Bosnia-Herzegovina, returning to the fold along with Ramsey and Joe Allen. 'We've rarely had Allen and Ramsey together,' Coleman said. 'It is nice to have Ramsey back and Joe had a good game against Real Madrid and did very well. Two players of that calibre are going to improve any squad, we know that, so it is very good to have them back. 'I thought Liverpool played fantastically and Joe was at the heart of it so that was pleasing to see.' Wales can also welcome back Joe Allen to their team for the qualifier with Brussels next weekend . West Ham's James Collins (left) is also ready to return to the Wales fold after missing out last time . Also on board is Fulham boss Kit Symons, despite Coleman's reservations that the Wales assistant manager may forgo his international commitments to focus on the Cottagers having been handed the reigns at Craven Cottage. 'Kit is on the trip,' Coleman said. 'I had a conversation with him about whether he'd be carrying on and I thought maybe he wouldn't and I didn't want to lose him. 'He doesn't want to not be here, he wants to carry on. He spoke with the Fulham chairman (Shahid Khan), who has been very supportive, so it is very positive.' The one area where Coleman's 25-man group looks particular light is up front. Kit Symons is set to continue with his Wales duties despite being appointed manager of Fulham . They may have the world's most expensive player of all time in Gareth Bale, but he is joined by four forwards with just 28 caps between them due to injuries to Simon Church, who started all three previous Euro 2016 qualifiers, and Burnley's Sam Vokes. Coleman said: 'It is a shame for Churchy. We knew we were going to miss big Sam with his injury.

The scientist who discovered Ebola has slammed the World Health Organisation for taking too long to declare state of emergency over the recent outbreak in West Africa. Peter Piot said it took '1,000 dead Africans' before the WHO took the Ebola outbreak seriously, wasting precious time before acting appropriately. The Belgian microbiologist say that although the WHO knew about the outbreak three months after it started, it took them a further two months to declare a state of emergency. Professor Piot, director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, was part of a team that discovered the Ebola virus in north west Zaire in 1976. 'It took three months for the WHO to find out there was an Ebola outbreak, that I understand. Guinea had a poor laboratory infrastructure,' he said in an interview with Talk to Al Jazeera, due to be aired on Saturday. 'I have much more of a problem with the fact that it took five months for WHO, for the international health regulations committee, for that's what it is, to declare this a state of emergency. 'It took 1,000 dead Africans and two Americans who were repatriated to the US because they were infected. 'There's no excuse for that. It took too long; we wasted too much precious time.' In October, the professor warned that the Ebola crisis had spiralled 'out of control'. Having waited too long to act, he believes the international community has then over-reacted in unhelpful ways. He added: 'There is an epidemic of Ebola in West Africa and then there is a second epidemic, an epidemic of mass hysteria that we saw particularly in North America. It was really out of proportion with the issue. Tragedy: The Ebola epidemic, the worst since the virus was first discovered in 1976, has now claimed 5,987 lives in West Africa, and 15 in other countries . Critique: Professor Piot, who was part of a team that discovered the Ebola virus in north west Zaire in 1976, said 'there's no excuse' for the length of time it took the WHO to act, and that they 'wasted precious time' In October, the professor warned that the Ebola crisis had spiralled 'out of control' and that the crisis is unlikely to come to a halt until a vaccine is available to immunise the population. . 'In theory Ebola is very easy to control, but it has got completely out of hand,' he said, speaking at a seminar at Oxford University in October. 'This is no longer an epidemic, it is a humanitarian crisis.' While he predicted the epidemic could be over by this time next year, he said it will take years to help reconstruct the countries devastated by the virus. WHO recently claimed that around 6,000 people had died of the virus since the outbreak begun - and not 7,000 as was previously reported. All but around 15 of those deaths have hit the three countries at the heart of the crisis in West Africa - Guinea, where the outbreak began last December, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Taking action: U.S. President Barack Obama tours a lab with Dr. Nancy Sullivan to discuss Ebola while he visits the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland on Tuesday . Professor Piot claims solutions need to address not just the lack of healthcare systems in place in these countries but the local population’s cultural habits and belief systems. He highlights that some parts of West Africa have a habit of touching the dead at funerals - while others may believe in ‘witchcraft.’ He adds: 'The concept of an infectious agent is not always there. People may think it's witchcraft or a case of \"someone wanted me to die\". 'You need people who speak the language, who understand the culture, who know what people think and feel.' According to revised data, published this week by the WHO, the worst Ebola epidemic since the virus was first discovered in 1976, has now claimed 5,987 lives. Following Monday's correction, the WHO said that as of November 28, Guinea had recorded 2,155 cases and 1,312 deaths, Liberia saw 7,635 cases and 3,145 deaths while Sierra Leone reported 7,109 cases and 1,530 deaths.

The league will grow to 20 teams in 2015 with the addition of New York City FC and Orlando City FC followed by Atlanta and a second LA-based team in 2017. Garber said MLS is looking to add at least three more clubs by the end of the decade and that he recently held talks with groups from Minnesota, Sacramento and Las Vegas. 'We have also been in discussions with San Antonio, El Paso and St. Louis, they are just not as far along for the next round,' said Garber. Beckham in his pomp for Manchester United and England - he made 115 appearances for his country . The commissioner said, however, that Miami remained a goal for the league -- but only if the right venue is found. 'I believe Miami can become a great MLS market if we can put the pieces in place,' said Garber. 'The (Beckham) group continues to work to try and find a stadium solution that they believe will put them in a position to succeed. That is a difficult process and it is one that they continue to work hard on.' Although politicians having blocked Beckham's two proposed waterfront venues, Garber says he won't be putting direct pressure on elected representatives to help the former England and Manchester United star. 'We are not putting pressure on anybody. What we do is we communicate to the public and their representatives what is necessary for us to be successful and ultimately ensure that David can exercise his option in Miami. 'They are well aware of it now and there is not much more really that we can do now and we are not asked to do much more.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Don Garber, the MLS commissioner, says process 'can't go on forever'\nBeckham had two plans for a 25,000-seat stadium rejected in the summer .\nBut Miami remain No 1 choice for former LA Galaxy and England captain .\nSpokesperson for Beckham Miami United says MLS team 'will happen'" } ]

Joetta Sells, 54, was taken into custody on Tuesday afternoon, hours after her husband and the girl's biological grandfather, Steve Sells, 58, was arrested on Monday night. With the couple now both locked up, court documents have revealed the filthy, cold conditions the 15-year-old girl was allegedly forced to live in at their Anderson, Indiana home. They allegedly kept the teenager locked in a room with only a mattress, space heater, blankets, a bowl with oatmeal and a bucket, according to the documents first shared by Fox59. Scroll down for video . Arrested: Joetta Sells, left, was arrested on Tuesday after her husband Steve Sells, right, was arrested on Monday. Authorities say they kept their 15-year-old granddaughter locked in a bedroom covered in feces . Authorities noted that the door had a lock at the top, out of reach of the teenager, and another child at the home said Sells would lock the door 'during the day and nights'. The child told authorities that they would sometimes see the girl's fingers reaching around the door, in an apparent attempt to get out, the documents said. Everything inside the room was covered with feces and blood, authorities said. The gruesome conditions were unearthed after concerned relatives took the girl to hospital on Monday and doctors contacted authorities. They then executed a search warrant at the home. When the girl was taken to St. Vincent Hospital in Anderson, she was covered in feces and weighed just 35lb. She was then flown to Peyton Manning Children's Hospital in Indianapolis for treatment. 'Cruel': Sells was granted custody of the children in 2009 when their mother abandoned them . Together: The couple, pictured at their wedding six years ago, claimed that the girl was in the room before she was dangerous and had approached Sells with a knife. The girl is mentally disabled, police said . When police arrived, they said the girl was so thin that bones were protruding from her skin. 'If you see pictures of the victim, it's very disturbing,' Sgt. Joel Sandefur said told the Indy Channel. 'We wouldn't accept treatment of an animal that way, let alone a human being, a 15-year-old girl.' The teenager and a four-year-old child moved in with the couple when their mother abandoned them four years ago, according to the court documents. The older girl, whose grandfather said suffers from a chromosome problem in her brain, was kept locked up inside the room by Steve Sells, according to his wife of six years. She had not been to the doctors or to school in two years, the Indy Channel reported. He told authorities he locked her in the room to protect himself, claiming that the 35lb girl was strong and had previously approached him with a knife. The Department of Child Services asked for a court hearing regarding custody of the girl in 2011, Fox59 reported. Scene: Sells allegedly locked his granddaughter in an upstairs bedroom without enough heat. When detectives searched the house, they found a mattress, a bucket and a bowl of oatmeal in the bedroom . 'I think they were asking for court intervention for them to be permitted to take the child out of that environment or to get services and the court did not permit that to happen at that time,' said Prosecutor Cummings - but the child ultimately stayed at the home. A spokesperson for DCS would not speak about the case citing confidentiality laws but confirmed the agency had received a report about the family at the Indiana Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline. Neighbor Thomas McAllister told said that Sells and his wife lived at the home with their three children. He said that Sells had always given the impression he was a caring father. 'That is mind boggling,' he added. 'That is just disgusting and no child should have to go through anything like that.' Both of the Sells now face charges of neglect of a dependent and battery and Steve Sells also faces a charge for criminal confinement.

Despite having a reputation for being promiscuous on student nights, the shy smiles and laughs clearly show these students are not accustomed to kissing strangers - one lady even walks away mid-smooch. Scroll down for video . First kiss: This montage shows pictures of 18 Bristol students kissing strangers on camera . The video, produced by the University of Bristol TV station, UBTV, and directed by Gemma Wilson, echos similar footage by Los Angeles-based filmmaker Tatia Pilieva in March in which 20 strangers were asked to lock lips on screen. However, the way the British students react is somewhat more awkward than their American counterparts. Station manager Will Pope was on hand to help out with producing and editing the UK clip, but declined to take part. Will, a third year Classical Studies student, said: 'When Gemma came to me with the idea for the shoot, I really wanted to get involved with the project.

'It was quite a tense atmosphere in the studio - a lot of the participants weren’t at home in front of the camera which may have been a bit daunting. 'I was asked to star in the video but I said no. All the students were volunteers, who knew exactly what they would be asked to do. 'It was great fun, and the footage we got was really heart-warming. Their reactions are so human.' Hello there!

Provide a succinct and relevant summary of the provided text." }, { "from": "human", "value": "Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we have learned from an entertaining weekend of Premier League fixtures, as well as intriguing statistics from the Football League. 1) Gareth Barry has his own way of answering the group of Aston Villa fans who have booed him since he left in 2009. Everton’s 3-0 success at Goodison on Saturday took his record against the club where he made 441 appearances in nearly 12 years to seven wins from nine Premier League matches – with a goal difference of 19-4. The 33-year-old rubbed it in with yet another man-of-the-match display, covering more miles than any player on the pitch and finding a team mate with 81 of his 86 passes. Gareth Barry rubbed it in the Aston Villa fans' faces with a man-of-the-match performance for Everton . 2) It’s not a coincidence that Joe Hart has saved three of the last five penalties he’s faced – the Manchester City goalkeeper does his homework. Roberto Soldado had put four of his last five successful penalties to the goalkeeper’s bottom right hand corner – exactly where England No 1 Hart dived to keep out the Tottenham striker’s effort on Saturday. Joe Hart had done his homework and that is why he saved Roberto Soldado's penalty for Tottenham . 3) Harry Redknapp has always prided himself on passing football but his current QPR side are even struggling on that score. For all the problems they caused Liverpool their accuracy rate of just 68.8 per cent was the lowest of any Premier League team all weekend. Maybe that’s why they are struggling so badly to score – five of their six Premier League goals this season have now come from set-pieces. Harry Redknapp's QPR side are struggling in the Premier League, and cannot keep possession . 4) Mohamed Diame has four goals in five games for Hull now – as many as he scored in 41 appearances for West Ham in the whole of last season. But it’s not just putting the ball in the net where he looks a different player. Against Arsenal he was a huge influence in midfield, winning nine tackles and involved in 22 duels for the ball – more than any other Premier League player all weekend. Mohamed Diame (left) celebrates his goal against Arsenal and has scored four in five games for Hull . 5) Slightly built Tottenham youngster Tom Carroll, tiny in Premier League terms at just 5ft 9in, could have picked an easier place than Stoke to make his Premier League debut for Swansea after joining them on loan for the season. But the 22-year-old rose well to the challenge, giving the ball away only five times during his 65 minutes. The 5.4 miles he ran was a fraction further than striker Wilfried Bony managed in 90. Boss Garry Monk likens him to former Swans midfielder Joe Allen, and the way he stood up to 6ft 4in opponent Steven Nzonzi shows promise for the future. Tom Carroll (right) stood up well to the giants of Stoke City for Swansea and tackles Mame Biram Diouf . 6) Steven Taylor is refusing to give up on staying at Newcastle – even though the club tried to sell him in the summer and his contract runs out in seven months time. The 29-year-old defender, picked for the first time since a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa in August, played a huge role in keeping Leicester to only three attempts at goal. In four appearances including Capital One Cup ties this season, passionate Geordie Taylor has finished on the winning side three times. Steven Taylor impressed against Leicester and here he muscles out Marc Albrighton . 7) New Huddersfield manager Chris Powell’s biggest problem in the next week could be persuading Wigan to extend the month’s loan of Grant Holt, which is due to run out. Powell had taken one point from three games before Holt turned up, now the 4-2 win over Blackpool means he’s got 10 from the four matches in which the 33-year-old has played. Meanwhile, Wigan boss Uwe Rosler, who hadn’t picked Holt for a Championship game all season, has not won a single match of four with his team scoring only two goals. Chris Powell's Huddersfield are impressing, but he will struggle to keep Grant Holt on loan . 8) Felix Magath’s team selection during his time at Fulham was constantly bizarre – the German never named an unchanged side in his 20 games in charge and fans started playing ‘Felix bingo’ trying to guess the next line-up. That’s all changed since Kit Symons has taken over – bringing Sean Kavanagh into his defence in place of the injured Fernando Amorebieta was only the fourth change he’s made in six games as caretaker. Small wonder that Symons, the popular choice to stay in charge at Craven Cottage, has overseen four wins in that time. Kit Symons is keeping things simple at Fulham - he has made just four changes in six games and it's working . 9) John Gregory signed 11 new players for Crawley in the summer and has got another four on loan – but the wholesale changes are taking time to have an effect. A 5-3 thrashing at Notts County meant the former Aston Villa and QPR boss, who hadn’t managed in England for six years before he took over the League One club, has seen his side ship nine goals in two games. Gregory called it ‘embarrassing’ and admitted his players got bullied. Crawley are 15th in the table – exactly where they were when he took over last December. Garry Thompson (right) celebrates his hat-trick goal for Notts County against 'embarrassing' Crawley . 10) Phil Brown must have looked with envy at how Ronald Koeman followed up collecting a manager of the month award. While Southampton boss Koeman celebrated the honour by watching his side spank Sunderland 8-0, Brown has seen his Southend side crash since he won the League Two prize for four wins out of five in September. Since then the Shrimpers have struggled – the 1-1 draw at Exeter was their first point in three games and there’s a tough trip to Newport to come on Tuesday night." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Gareth Barry was man of the match for Everton against his former club .\nJoe Hart knew exactly where Roberto Soldado was going to put his penalty .\nQPR are struggling to put passes together under Harry Redknapp .\nMohamed Diame has scored four goals in five games for Hull City ." } ]

The 28-year-old Belgium defender made 14 Barclays Premier League appearances as the Gunners secured a top-four finish and another season of Champions League football. Vermaelen, who played in the penalty shoot-out victory over Wigan in the semi-final, will be hoping to be involved against Hull this weekend despite requiring five stitches in a knee injury suffered at Norwich on the final day of the league campaign. Bigger prospect: Thomas Vermaelen says his focus is on the FA Cup final against Hull City this weekend . Summer switch? The Arsenal captain's future has been doubted in recent weeks . If he does play, it could prove to be his last appearance for Arsenal as he strives to find first-team football with just one year left on his contract. But Vermaelen is keen to keep his mind trained only on delivering the FA Cup to the Emirates Stadium and end a nine-year run without silverware for Arsene Wenger's side. 'It is not important at the moment, my future,' he said. 'We are in front of an FA Cup Final and my focus is there. My future is not important at the moment. 'We know there has been a lot of talk about not winning a trophy for a long time and so for us it would be important to win the final.' Memories of a 1-0 League Cup final defeat to Birmingham in 2011 will no doubt weigh heavily on the minds of Arsenal supporters leading into another showepiece game where they enter as the firm favourites. Vermaelen missed the shock loss two years ago due to a long-standing Achilles issue and does not want to be recollecting that time in the run-in to the meeting with Hull. Big test: Arsene Wenger is looking to end a nine-year trophy drought at Wembley . 'The whole time was difficult for me, to be out injured for such a long time,' he said. 'Missing big games like finals was never easy. I was at Wembley, I was in the stands. It's a long time ago but it was a very disappointing result and everybody knows that. 'We can't think about it. Saturday is a different game again. There are a lot of changes in the team since then - a lot of players left since then - but we have to make sure it doesn't happen again. 'Every final is something special, something different. Of course, that happened but that's the past and we have to make sure that doesn't happen again.' Loving life: Vermaelen and Aaron Ramsey have fun on Rudiemental's DJ decks at Arsenal's Charity ball . Although Vermaelen is looking to avoid a repeat of the Birmingham defeat, when Obafemi Martins capitalised on a defensive error to score a late winner, he knows Arsenal's players will be competing under immense pressure to finally deliver another trophy. 'There will always be pressure for a cup final,' he added. 'The players are used to playing under pressure because if you play for a club like Arsenal, you have to win every single game. People expect that so Saturday won't be different. The pressure will be there always to win that game. 'We are used to the pressure, every game has to be won. Of course we know that there has been a lot of talk of not winning for nine years but it is a game we have to win.

The futuristic weapons – which will attack the central nervous system of their victims – are being developed by the country’s scientists. They could be used against Russia’s enemies and, perhaps, its own dissidents by the end of the decade. Fire: Putin, seen using a traditional pistol, has new weapons in his sights . Sources in Moscow say Mr Putin has described the guns, which use electromagnetic radiation like that found in microwave ovens, as ‘entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals’. Mr Putin added: ‘Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons, but will be more acceptable in terms of political and military ideology.’ Plans to introduce the super- weapons were announced quietly last week by Russian defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov, fulfilling a little-noticed election campaign pledge by president-elect Putin. Plans to introduce the super- weapons were announced quietly last week by Russian defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov . Mr Serdyukov said: ‘The development of weaponry based on new physics principles – direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, and so on – is part of the state arms procurement programme for 2011-2020.’ Specific proposals on developing the weapons are due to be drawn up before December by a new Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency. Research into electromagnetic weapons has been secretly carried out in the US and Russia since the Fifties. But now it appears Mr Putin has stolen a march on the Americans. Precise details of the Russian gun have not been revealed. However, previous research has shown that low-frequency waves or beams can affect brain cells, alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone’s thought processes. High doses of microwaves can damage the functioning of internal organs, control behaviour or even drive victims to suicide. Anatoly Tsyganok, head of the Military Forecasting Centre in Moscow, said: ‘This is a highly serious weapon. ‘When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan. Still, we know very little about this weapon and even special forces guys can hardly cope with it.’ The long-term effects are not known, but two years ago a former major in the Russian foreign intelligence agency, the GRU, died in Scotland after making claims about such a weapons programme to MI6. Sergei Serykh, 43, claimed he was a victim of weapons which he said were ‘many times more powerful than in the Matrix films’. Mr Serykh died after falling from a Glasgow tower block with his wife and stepson in March 2010. While his death was assumed to be suicide, his family fear there was foul play.

There were 807 fatal overdoses involving prescription drugs last year, a rise of 16 per cent in five years, official figures show. By comparison, there were 718 such deaths from taking heroin and cocaine, and numbers have been falling since 2005. Experts have warned that GPs give out repeat prescriptions too easily and there is not enough support for addicts. Addiction: Deaths from prescription medication last year outstripped those from cocaine and heroin . One helpline has calculated there are at least 32,000 painkiller addicts in Britain, but even that is likely to be an underestimate. Jim Dobbin, Labour MP and chairman of the all-party parliamentary group on involuntary tranquilliser addiction, has called on the Government to take urgent action. He said: ‘This can be long-term addiction and there is very little support for addicts. There needs to be more understanding of how serious this problem is. ‘Lives are being destroyed and people are being left without the help and support they need. The Government has refused to accept the scale of the problem.’ Concern: MP Jim Dobbin has called for greater support for those affected by painkiller addiction . One GP has claimed that doctors are prescribing antidepressants ‘too easily’ – including in some cases for bereavement – when they should offer patients counselling. Dr Des Spence, who practises in Glasgow, said: ‘There has been this rising culture of intervention with medication – whether it is for depression or anxiety or pain – and I think it can be very unhelpful. ‘It can erode people’s sense of wellbeing. The cure of these things is not necessarily in the gift of medicine.’ The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, show that deaths from abuse of strong painkillers and tranquillisers have been rising steadily, while those from opiates used for recreational purposes have declined. Separate NHS statistics reveal that around 62million prescriptions were written for all types of painkillers last year, a 30 per cent rise in five years. Britons also spend an estimated £500million a year buying painkillers at chemists. Campaigners are particularly concerned at the high numbers of women becoming addicted to drugs prescribed by doctors. Cathryn Kemp, 42, an author, became hooked on the painkiller fentanyl in 2007 after being given it for inflammation of the pancreas. Although the drug is 50 times more powerful than heroin, she says she was not given any warnings about addiction. Danger: Many patients are not told that powerful painkillers can become addictive . Miss Kemp said: ‘The pain was like being eaten alive and it was the first medicine that took it away. It was like sinking into a lovely warm bath. ‘I was fighting a daily battle against pain and I found something that helped me in that battle. It took only a few months before I crossed that line between keeping to my prescription and taking more. I ended up on something I could just not get off.’ Miss Kemp, who has written a book, Painkiller Addiction: From Wreckage to Redemption, was initially prescribed eight pills a day, but later took up to 45 a day. Although her GP confronted her about her addiction he continued writing out the prescriptions.In 2010 she was forced to sell her Brighton home to pay for rehab and is no longer addicted. She said: ‘There are so many people who are on sleeping pills, antidepressants, tranquillisers and strong painkillers.

Staff at the brand's plant in Shepton Mallet in Somerset now face an anxious wait to see if they too have caught the disease, which can spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The most common symptoms of the infection include a persistent cough, weight loss and if left untreated, it can be fatal. Leather workers inside the Mulberry factory in Shepton Mallet in Somerset. More than 300 are now being tested for TB after two staff members were diagnosed with the condition . Staff at the brand's plant, pictured, now face an anxious wait to see if they too have caught the disease . According to the Sun, two employees at the factory were diagnosed with the condition but were now back working at the plant. It is thought one worker was confirmed as having TB in January, while another was diagnosed in May. This prompted Mulberry to test the rest of their workforce at the Somerset factory for the condition and send letters to all 300 staff on advice from Public Health England as TB may not show symptoms for several years. A spokesperson told the newspaper: 'Mulberry has fully complied with Public Health England advice on this.' Supermodel Cara Delevingne, pictured, fronts the advertising campaign for Mulberry and is set to launch her own collection with them next month . As part of a promotional film for her collection, Miss Delevingne visited the factory in Somerset in June, where she was seen using one of the sewing machines . It is thought that anyone else who tests positive for the condition will be referred to specialist doctors with Public Health England adding that it is very much now a curable disease, which can be treated. TB almost disappeared from the UK by the early 1970s thanks to the BCG vaccination and antibiotics. However, cases are now on the rise, which is being blamed on increased immigration from Eastern Europe where TB is more common. British label Mulberry has long been the handbag of choice for many A-list celebrities including Kate Winslet and Sienna Miller. Their ad campaigns are fronted by supermodel Cara Delevingne, who visited the Somerset factory in June ahead of launching her own collection for the brand. In a film released ahead of the collection, it shows the 21-year-old visiting the archives, choosing leathers, sketching ideas and discussing the practical needs she had for a multi-functional bag. She was also shown at the affected flagship factory using the sewing machines, discussing her designs and smelling the leather on a newly made Mulberry satchel. Tuberculosis - or TB - killed one in four people during Victorian times but was almost wiped out in Britain by the 1970s. Less crowded living conditions in the 20th Century cut infection. Administration of the BCG vaccine from the 1920s, the discovery of antibiotics in 1928 and the introduction of the antibiotic streptomycin also helped. But there has been a dramatic rise in cases recently, especially in and around London, where 40 per cent of all TB cases are detected. In 2011, 8,963 cases of TB were reported in the UK. There is fear that the disease may spread further, due to a combination of foreign immigrants infected with TB coming to the UK, increased travel abroad, and hospital staff who are not trained to spot the disease from early symptoms. Tuberculosis is a communicable disease caused by infection with the tubercle bacillus (also known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis or M. tuberculosis), most frequently affecting the lungs.

A woman has told the enquiry she was sexually abused by Satyananda Sarswati - the man who founded the worldwide yoga movement with branches across the world, including Australia. In a statement to a royal commission, Bhakati Manning said she was abused by two senior swamis in ashrams in Australia and 'by the spiritual founder of Satyananda yoga'.

Commissioner Justice Jennifer Coate (pictured) during the opening address at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse public hearing into the Satyananda Yoga Ashram at Mangrove Mountain . She said the abuse happened when she was 15 at the Mangrove Yoga Ashram on NSW's Central Coast. She was 17 when she travelled to the famous Munger ashram in India in 1976 to study with the respected yogi whom she had met in Australia. Ms Manning said shortly after her arrival, he fondled her genitals and said something to the effect 'this is our relationship, don't tell anyone'. He also taught her how to tie her dhoti - a traditional garment - so that it tucked between her legs. He said something to the effect of 'you have to protect what is mine from being seen', she said in her statement. The world-renowned yoga master died in 2009. Ms Manning, now aged 55, will continue her evidence on Thursday, the third day of a hearing where six witnesses have told of being abused. Several witnesses have also told the enquiry, the swami forced them to have sex and Shishy (pictured centre) was often present . Constant sexual abuse, neglect, beaten and starved : this was the horrific treatment children living at Australia's oldest yoga ashram (pictured) were forced to endure, a royal commission examining child sex abuse has heard . The commission has already heard that Satyananda's disciple Swami Akhandananda, who was sent to lead the Mangrove Mountain ashram, used underage girls for sexual gratification. It also heard celibacy was a requirement at the ashrams and Akhandananda would beat people who were found to be having sex. Children were sent out on what one witness referred to as 'F* patrols', to spy on couples and report back. Akhandananda was jailed for sex abuse in 1989, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality in 1991. He died in 1997. Witnesses whose parents brought them to the Mangrove ashram in search of a utopian life have told how they were subject to depraved sexual practices by Akhandananda, who often summoned them by loudspeaker or had his partner Shishy bring them to him. Commissioner Justice Jennifer Coate (pictured left) and Commissioner Helen Milroy (pictured right) during the opening address at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse public hearing into the Satyananda Yoga Ashram at Mangrove Mountain . On Wednesday, one woman, referred to as APL at the commission, said facilities at the Mangrove ashram were basic, with children often going hungry. Their heads were shaved, they wore orange robes and were made to do hard labour. APL later discovered the Swami and Shishy had a hot tub, a television and drank alcohol. Several witnesses have also said the swami forced them to have sex and Shishy was often present. They also said Shishy would beat them. APL's sister also gave evidence on Wednesday, labelling an email sent by the ashram claiming a healing ceremony for victims last Easter was successful as an insult. She said it was particularly insulting that in the email the ashram was spouting rubbish about 'ego and embracing the darkness', because it was what Swami Akhandananda said when he was 'f*ing little girls and stealing people's lives'.

In normal times, this young woman would surely have enjoyed a bright and happy future, perhaps with a husband, children, grandchildren. But soon after this photograph was taken, she would face almost certain death. The haunting image is one of a series depicting Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland before they were rounded up to be sent to the gas chambers. Despite the awfulness of her predicament, this Jewish woman manages to smile brightly for the camera as she poses for Jaeger . An elderly man with a yellow Star of David fixed to his chest, speaks with German officers as he and other Jews are rounded up in Kutno, German-occupied Poland in 1939 . Innocent victims: These young Jewish girls couldn't possibly have imagined the horrors that lay ahead as they pose outside their tent in another haunting photograph taken by the ardent Nazi Hugo Jaeger . The clue is the curled-up piece of yellow cloth the unknown woman wears on her lapel – a makeshift Star of David. All around her, and in other photos taken in the ghetto into which the Nazis corralled their prisoners, every man, woman and child was forced to wear one. In peacetime, the six-pointed star was a proud symbol of Judaism. In the Holocaust which Hitler was about to unleash – here in the devastated town of Kutno – it would become their death-star. The remarkable colour images were taken by the Führer’s personal photographer, a loyal follower given unprecedented access to the Third Reich’s elite. Hugo Jaeger was allowed to travel with Hitler to record his appearances at rallies, intimate parties and in private moments. More usually he dedicated himself to lionising his leader and what the Nazis regarded as their most triumphant moments. Here, it appears, he seems simply to have been fascinated by faces from a different faith in a country under siege. He is said not to have shared Hitler’s unqualified hatred of Jews. Hence, whether he intended it or not, Jaeger’s camera captured an atmosphere rarely seen before horror and carnage overtook it. Ghetto boys: In their tattered rags the two boys smile for the camera, but the man in the centre, most probably their father, has a look of distrust etched across his face . While most Jaeger's photographs focus on the glory and . triumphalism of the Reich, here he . has chosen instead to capture the misery of the conquered people instead .

Yet Kutno, 75 miles west of Warsaw, had . been bombarded and turned into a ghetto soon after Hitler’s invasion in . September 1939. Its sugar factory would be surrounded by barbed wire and used to imprison 8,000 Jews, crammed into appalling conditions. Some would die of infection or starvation. Others would not live through the bitter cold of the winter. The ghetto existed until 1942, when most of its surviving inhabitants were sent to death camps.

A YouTube video of a confrontation between him and Ryan Berk, a Purple Heart recipient, who was immediately suspicious of Yetman's mismatched uniform has been watched more than 2.7 million times since it was posted on Friday. Scroll down for video . Sean Yetman, the 'phony' army ranger who was confronted at a Pennsylvania shopping mall on Black Friday by a decorated Afghanistan vet, has previously pleased guilty to impersonating a police officer . Court documents show that in May 2003, Yetman pleaded guilty to impersonating a police officer . A Bucks County Court summary shows that in May 2003 he pleaded guilty to impersonating a public servant. Yetman has refused all offers to speak to the media since the incident, but his fiancée told Army Times that he has ‘spiraled into a deep depression’ since being exposed. Adrienne Lally said Yetman lost his job and has had a nervous breakdown. ‘The phone calls do not stop, and we are now hearing death threats. All of this has us concerned for our children and their safety,’ she wrote via email. ‘He is a good man with a very big heart and this backlash has spiraled him into a deep depression.’ Yetman is facing possible criminal charges after U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Bucks) asked the U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia to determine if there was evidence of a federal crime against Yetman. Under the Stolen Valor Act of 2013, it is illegal for an individual to fraudulently portray him or herself as a recipient of any of several specified military decorations or medals with the intent to obtain money, property or other ‘tangible benefit.’ Berk said he gets 'frustrated' by people pretending to be army vets 'because you serve with good men who have either lost their loves or been seriously wounded who earned that uniform' Yetman, who insists on the video that he is who he says he is, may have been using the uniform as a means to obtaining military discounts at the mall. 'It’s frustrating, because you serve with good men who have either lost their loves or been seriously wounded who earned that uniform,' Berk told GMA on Wednesday about the incident. Along with an American flag patch in the wrong spot, Berk noticed that Yetman was wearing three Combat Infantryman Badges (CIBs) on his shoulder – an extremely rare honor. The latest incident came to light after Berk approached Yetman on Friday and used his cell phone to record their conversation as he quizzed him about his experiences as a soldier. When asked where he had received his CIBs, Yetman man first answered that he got all three in Afghanistan - an impossibility since only one is given per campaign. The conversation got more heated as Berk then called him a phony and accused him of impersonating a soldier. Yetman claimed he had 'literally just got home from Fort Lewis' and was shopping with his Sergeant Major - who he offered to introduce Berk to. When the man denied lying about his military service, Berk lost his cool. 'Here it is, stolen valor at its finest,' he shouted, as Yetman began to walk away. 'Why don’t you just admit you’re a phony?' ‘I noticed his combat infantryman's badge, he had two stars above it, which would indicate that he served in three different wars which is almost physically impossible for his age,’ said Berk. There is no U.S. Army Ranger with three CIBs named Yetman listed on any official record. Ryan Berk, a Afghanistan vet and Purple Heart recipient, was shopping at the mall with his girlfriend and her son when he spotted the 'fake' officer and decided to approach him . Speaking to Fox on Tuesday, Berk said that while the man had initially provided some answers that could have been correct, his story quickly unraveled when he claimed to have received his three CIBs from service in Afghanistan. 'I served in Afghanistan and have several friend who were seriously wounded and a couple who were killed in action who wore that same uniform and to see someone try and claim that type of sacrifice really irked me,’ said Berk. He also said his grandfather had served in World War 2 and it was ‘just wrong’ that this man was tainting that legacy by wearing the uniform. ‘No one is going to question a guy in uniform, unless they already wear the uniform,’ Berk, who earned a Purple Heart after he was wounded by shrapnel in 2010 while fighting in Afghanistan, told The Morning Call. Berk’s video of the confrontation was uploaded to the Stolen Valor YouTube account, where it has since been viewed over two million times. The account belongs to Guardian of Valor, a network of active and veteran soldiers who seek to expose people who falsely claim military service and/or claim unauthorized medals or tabs. On Monday, U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Bucks) asked the U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia to determine if there was evidence of a federal crime against Sean Yetman . Anthony Anderson, a vet who runs the Guardian of Valor website told Philly.com that fake soldiers are becoming increasingly common. Most are seeking attention and recognition, while others use the uniform to receive exclusive military discounts at stores and restaurants. Under the Stolen Valor Act of 2013, it is illegal for an individual to fraudulently portray him or herself as a recipient of any of several specified military decorations or medals with the intent to obtain money, property or other ‘tangible benefit.’ It was unknown if the uniformed man received any special treatment from any store at the mall, but on Monday, U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Bucks) asked the U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia to determine if there was evidence of a federal crime against 'Yetman' Berk has no doubts that the man he confronted was not a ranger.

But not only can these dishes wreak havoc on our waistlines, they can also damage our teeth, according to a leading dentist. Here, Dr Sameer Patel, a dentist at Harley Street’s Elleven practice, lays out the hidden dangers in the most popular takeaway foods.. Takeaways not only wreak havoc on a person's wasitline, they can also damage their teeth. Dr Sameer Patel, a leading dentist at Harley Street's Elleven practice, advises drinking water and flossing to keep teeth healthy . INDIAN AND CHINESE: TOOTH STAINING . It's not just dark beverages such as tea and coffee that will stain your teeth - any heavily pigmented food can lead to tooth discoloration - and curry powder is one such culprit. While this staple ingredient of Indian cuisine isn’t particularly dark, the deep pigment can stain teeth yellow over time. Dark liquids used to flavour foods, such as soy sauce, can produce the same effect. So if you do eat sushi or Chinese food, use the soy sauce sparingly. Indian and Chinese takeaways contain curry powder and soy source, dark pigments that can stain teeth over time. 'Anything that would stain a white T-shirt is likely to stain the surface of your teeth in the same way,' Dr Patel says. Eating broccoli or spinach can form a protective film over teeth . Dr Patel advises using the example of a white T-shirt: anything that would stain this is likely to stain the surface of your teeth in the same way. He also recommends eating an appetiser of spinach or broccoli first, as these green veggies form a protective film over teeth, making them less porous and susceptible to staining. Opting for lighter coloured condiments such as rice vinegar or lemon is also advisable, he says. KEBABS: JAW ACHE . Eating lots of chewy kebab meat can overwork the jaw, leading to jawache . Believe it or not, the foods you eat can have a big impact on the health of the joints in your jaw. As a result, the tough texture of the meat used for kebabs is sometimes associated with jaw ache. Eating a high amount of very chewy foods can overwork and overextend your jaw – leading to strains. ‘Any time you overuse a certain set of muscles, it can lead to contracted muscles and related pain, including headaches, and toothaches over time,' Dr Sameer explains. Most obviously, try limiting the number of problem foods you consume and be sure to distribute the way you chew your food evenly around the mouth. ITALIAN: ACID EROSION . Pizza and pasta are two of the most popular dishes in the UK and are rarely associated with tooth decay. However, white pizza bases and pastas are refined carbohydrates which contain simple sugars that dissolve quickly. This causes a surge of acid inside the mouth and when combined with the acidity of tomatoes, can erode tooth enamel and ultimately lead to sensitivity. These foods also take on a gummy consistency when chewed that can allow small particles to get trapped between teeth and stick to the surface. Flossing as part of your daily oral hygiene routine is the most effective way to remove trapped food and chewing sugar-free chewing gum can limit damage by making your mouth produce more saliva - helping to cancel out the acid in your mouth after eating or drinking. Pizza and pasta are refined carbohydrates and contain simple sugars that dissolve quickly in the mouth. This causes a surge of acid which erodes tooth enamel and causes sensitivity . FISH AND CHIPS: TOOTH DECAY . Starchy foods are notorious for getting stuck in between your teeth and lodged between crevices. While they may not necessarily taste sweet, the starches can begin converting to sugar almost immediately through the pre-digestive process that begins in the mouth. Processed foods are also notorious for using sugar as a preservative or flavour enhancer: ‘sugar can come in many different forms and the batter on fish and associated sauces such as ketchup, are culprits for having a high sugar content,' Dr Sameer said. While limiting sugar intake to meal times is not a cause for concern, snacking on starchy foods at regular intervals is what can cause problems. Dr Sameer advises rinsing your mouth with water after eating to help fight tooth decay. ‘This washes away trapped food, whilst the fluoride content fights against bacteria and prevents mineral loss in tooth enamel,' he said. Fish and chips are starchy foods that get stuck in between the teeth. They are converted to tooth-rotting sugar immediately through the mouth's pre-digestive processes . THAI: ENAMEL WEARING . The delicious sticky sauces and little nuts and seeds that you come across in most Thai dishes are very damaging to your tooth enamel. The small nuts and seeds tend to get stuck in between the teeth and are not easily rinsed away, so the sugars in them have longer to wear down your enamel, harming your teeth. To combat this, Dr Sameer Patel advises to floss afterwards and chew sugar-free chewing gum to dislodge the food residue. Do not brush straight after eating as this will cause the food residue to get further lodged in between the teeth and cause further damage." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Dr Sameer Patel is a dentist at Harley Street's Elleven practice .\nCurry powder and soy sauce in Indian and Chinese stains teeth, he says .\nThe repetitive chewing of tough kebab meat can lead to jaw ache .\nPizza and pasta dissolve quickly in the mouth, leading to a surge of acid .\nThis leads to tooth enamel eroding and teeth becoming sensitive .\nStarchy foods like fish and chips get stuck between teeth .\nMouth's pre-digestive process dissolves them into sugar which rots teeth ." } ]

In total, it traveled more than 1,700 miles. Scroll down for video . Killed: Rochester real estate developer Larry Glazer and his wife Jane, both 68, were aboard the aircraft that lost contact with air traffic controllers and flew 1,700 miles before crashing in the water off Jamaica . Experienced pilot: Glazer, 68, a father-of-three and a grandfather, is pictured in front of another small plane . Search party: Jamaican Marine Police return to the Port Antonio Marina after a fruitless search for a plane that crashed into the ocean near Port Antonio, Jamaica, Friday, Sept. 5, 2014 . Two fighter jets had been sent to the plane earlier on Friday after air traffic controllers were unable to make contact with the pilot. The jet pilots noted that Glazer was slumped over his controls, perhaps from oxygen deprivation. One of the fighter jet pilots said he could see the pilot of the small plane, a SOCATA TBM 700, which has a pressurized cabin, was still alive. 'I can see his chest rising and falling,' he said in a recording of his dispatch. 'Right before I left... we could see that he was actually breathing.' The plane also had 'frosted windows', an indication of a sudden loss of cabin pressure and officials said they suspected hypoxia - a deprivation of oxygen - could have caused them to pass out. According to ABC, the pilot requested to fly lower during two calls to air traffic control, however when they asked if he wanted to declare himself in a state of emergency, he said no. The plane was flying at 28,000 feet at 10 am when Glazer asked to descend to 18,000 feet because of an issue with the plane, ABC reported. He was cleared to drop to 25,000 feet but then asked to go lower. Air traffic control denied the second request because of the traffic traveling below Glazer. They said if he made a left turn he could bypass the traffic and descend. He made the turn, but then stopped responding. Route: Their single-engine plane, which was traveling from New York to Florida this morning, failed to land, entered Cuban airspace and headed towards the Caribbean. It crashed just off Jamaica on Friday . Site: The small plane eventually went down in the water 14 miles North East of Port Antonio in Portland . Killed: The turboprop was flown by Larry Glazer and his wife Jane Glazer of Rochester, New York. They were en route from Rochester to Naples, Florida . The unresponsive plane flown by Larry Glazer was a SOCATA TBM 700, a single-engine turbo-prop with a pressurized cabin that is used as a light business and utility aircraft. Seats: Seven including pilot and co-pilot . Max cruising speed: 345mph (300 knots) Max certificated altitude: 30,000ft . Wing span: 41 feet, 6 inches . Length: 34 feet, 9 inches . History: Built by American and French engineers. Been in production since 1988 but periodic upgrades have boosted its horsepower and speed . Production: More than 125 worldwide . The fighter jets that found the plane were eventually forced to break off once they entered Cuban airspace. They were in contact with Cuban authorities, who have said the aircraft did not violate its airspace rules. After passing Cuba, it reached the Caribbean where it crashed, Jamaican authorities said. A U.S. Coast Guard C-130 will search for the plane's wreckage, while Jamaica said a search and rescue team had been dispatched to the area. The plane, a Socata TBM-700 light business and utility aircraft, was registered to a development, Buckingham Properties, which is owned by Glazer. A company bio for Glazer notes: 'Larry spends some of his spare time on the ground - gardening around his house with his wife, Jane; and some in the sky - flying his plane.' An article about Glazer in the Rochester City Newspaper called him 'downtown's patron saint'. His company 'owns, co-owns, or manages nearly 13 million square feet of real estate space', it says. Response: Two F-15 fighter jets (file picture) were dispatched after the pilot of a private plane failed to respond but when he entered Cuban airspace, they were forced to break off . The Glazers were possibly affected by hypoxia, a condition where the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply in high-flying aircraft. If the cabin loses pressure and passengers don't use supplemental oxygen quickly, they can become unconscious or possibly die. When hypoxia develops slowly, symptoms can include light-headedness, tiredness, numbness, tingling and nausea. If it comes on quickly, it can cause confusion, behavioral chance, headaches, breathlessness, disorientation or heart palpitations. Jane Glazer was herself an entrepreneur, setting up and running QCI Direct, which delivers home care items through catalogs and websites. The couple, who met at camp at Seneca Lake when they were both counselors in 1964, had been married for more than 45 years and were considered stalwarts of the community. 'The City of Rochester has lost two heroes,' Mayor Lovely Warren and City Council President Loretta Scott said in a statement. 'It is difficult to put into words how much Larry Glazer has meant to our community. Larry worked hard to return a sense of vitality and excitement to our Center City. 'His efforts helped to lift our spirits and restore our sense of optimism. He has been a treasured friend and partner. 'Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Glazer family, the partners and employees of Buckingham Properties, and all of Larry's many friends.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Rochester real estate developer Larry Glazer, whose company owned the plane, and his wife Jane were both killed in the crash .\nPrivate plane took off from Rochester, New York on Friday morning and was headed towards Florida but passed its destination .\nIt passed through Cuban airspace before reaching the Caribbean and crashing in the water off Jamaica on Friday afternoon .\nTwo fighter jets were launched after Glazer failed to make contact and the pilots reported seeing him slumped over the controls .\nOfficials suspect an oxygen deprivation in the plane, which had a pressurized cabin, could have caused them to pass out .\nGlazer twice asked for permission to fly at a lower altitude before losing contact with air traffic control, according to reports ." } ]

The 12-sided coin, which resembles a classic threepenny bit, was announced as a way to fight a surge in the number of £1 in circulation - a racket that costs the economy some £45million a year. But roughly 1.2million machines on the market will have to be re-calibrated to fit the new piece, which is set to be introduced in 2017, according to one industry expert. Scroll down for video . New design: The coin will be made from two types of metal, like the current £2 coin. And the Government will embed luminescent particles that will show up under a particular light - making fakes easier to spot . Upgrade: Payphones, parking metres, betting shop fruit machines, launderette washing machines and supermarket self-service check-outs are among the roughly £1.2million machines that will need to be re-fitted . Payphones, parking metres, betting shop fruit machines, launderette washing machines and supermarket trolleys are among the devices that will need to be upgraded. Earlier this year, the Royal Mint suggested that the cost of converting these machines would be around £20million. But company chiefs have today disputed the amount - calculating that it could me more than five times as much. Jonathan Hilder, CEO of the Automatic Vending Association, estimated that forgeries make up some 3.03 per cent of the more than 1.5billion £1 coins in circulation. He said that increasingly sophisticated technology meant that coins were easier to fake - and that 50 per cent of these counterfeit coins successfully passed through vending machines. The new coin will be made from two types of metal, like the current £2 coin. Out with the old: The present £1 coin, left, . will be replaced to allay concerns about counterfeiting. Its replacement . will be a reworking of the old-fashioned threepenny bit, which last . circulated in 1971 . And the Government will imbed tiny luminescent particles in the coin that will show up under a particular light - making fakes easier to spot. Mr Hilder said that, while the AVA agrees with the principle of introducing a new £1 coin, it also believes that the Government needs to do more to cover the cost of converting the machines. He told MailOnline that it will cost £72.8million to adapt 450,000 coffee, snack and drink machines across the country. He added: 'We need a categorical assurance that there will be no upgrade of the 20p or 50p coins in the forseeable future', explaining that the move would lead to crippling costs for some. Costly: Earlier this year, it was estimated that the cost of re-calibrating each parking machine is £500 a time, which means converting every one across the UK would add up to £50million . Bacta, the body that represents the amusement industry, said that it will cost £100million to adapt 350,000 gaming machines. Chief executive John White said: 'This cost cannot be passed on to customers because of strict rules governing the relationship between stakes and winnings. 'The industry is faced with a number of challenges already and our members, many of whom are small independent businesses, cannot afford this additional cost.' Earlier this year, it was estimated that the cost of re-calibrating each parking machine is £500 a time, which means converting every one across the UK would add up to £50million. The British Parking Association, whose members run car parks and on-street parking machines for councils and private firms estimated that the bills will be much higher. The BPA has estimated that about 80,000 parking machines - 10,000 of which dispense change. In a statement it said: 'It is estimated that the simplest software upgrade on a pay and display machine will cost in the region of £90 to £130 per machine. If the validator requires changing, this can often also require new fixing brackets for the new validator and would cost in the region of £250 to £350 per machine. 'On machines providing change, it will be considerably more.' However, the association said that one benefit of the change will be to stop around 40million counterfeit coins going in to parking machines each year, which would offset the cost. The British Retail Consortium told MailOnline today that it was working with the Mint and the Treasury on the project to ensure that there was a 'fair and sufficient implementation period'. A spokesman said that self-service check-outs, tills and weighting machines in the back office were among those that would need an upgrade. But he said that it was difficult to estimate a final total cost without receiving the final specifications. A spokesman for the Treasury said: 'After thirty year’s loyal service, the time is right to replace the current £1 coin with a new, more secure coin that will reduce the costs of counterfeiting to our economy. 'It is the small and medium businesses that feel the costs the most and ultimately, the costs of bringing in the new coin could never compare to the price we’d pay in the event that confidence in the £1 coin deteriorated. 'That’s why the government is acting now, to stay several steps ahead of the counterfeiters. In doing that, we are committed to arriving at a final specification of the coin that maximises the benefits to the UK and to introducing the new coin in a manageable way for industry. 'That is why we have been undertaking a full consultation with all interested parties, which will determine the final specification of the coin.' In September, George Osborne launched a competition for members of the public to design what goes on the tails of the new 12-sided £1 coin. This unique opportunity will put a design on millions of new £1 coins while the winner will receive a £10,000 fee in exchange for the right to use it. But the contest, which is now closed, sparked the creation of a number of spoof coins - with pranksters posting designs using Mr Blobby, Alex Salmond and the Chuckle Brothers to Twitter.

Sparkle Anderson was left just hours from death after she contracted meningitis from Chesney, her mother's two-year-old pet. Thankfully, after a month in hospital, Sparkle made a full recovery and she is now inseparable from the animal. Sparkle Anderson, three, caught meningitis from her mother's pet cat, Chesney (pictured) Sparkle's mother Chelsea-Ann Dodd, 21, a promotions assistant from Winsham, Somerset, said: ‘It seemed such an unlikely cause. ‘The doctors said she was only the 39th person in the world known to have picked up that particular strain of meningitis. ‘She was just three weeks old and very vulnerable. It was very frightening. ‘Chesney still lives with my mum and there's no need to worry about them being in contact any more. In fact they follow each other around all the time when we visit.’ Sparkle (pictured with her mother, Chelsea) fell ill when she was just three weeks old. She cried constantly and was hot and bad-tempered so her mother took her to hospital where she was diagnosed with meningitis . When she was diagnosed, doctors said that Sparkle was just hours from death. She had to spend a month in hospital before being released. She is pictured recovering from the illness . Miss Dodd said she became concerned when, at three weeks old, Sparkle would not stop crying. She said: ‘I tried everything to calm her down, but she wouldn't stop yelling. She was extremely hot and bad-tempered. A fever and cold hands and feet . Refusing food and vomiting . Being fretful and disliking being handled . Drowsiness and unresponsiveness . An unusual cry or moaning . Neck stiffness and a dislike of bright lights . Pale, blotchy skin or a red rash that does not disappear under pressure . Seizures or fits . Source: The Meningitis Trust . ‘After a few hours I decided to trust my mothers' instinct and take her to hospital.’ At Musgrove Park Hospital, in Taunton, doctors took her daughter away for some emergency tests. She said: ‘It broke my heart to see her hooked up to so many wires. When they told me she had meningitis, I felt sick. ‘It didn't make any sense - Sparkle didn't have a rash and I hadn't noticed her shying away from bright lights. ‘She had an extremely rare form – I was told there had been just 39 cases previously, which really took me by surprise. ‘I was told that she could have died within hours if I hadn't brought her in.’ As doctors brought Sparkle out of the danger zone, they made the startling revelation that they had traced the source of her meningitis to Chesney the cat. Sparkle had contracted a dangerous viral strain of the illness called pasteurella multocida. This bacterium is common in animals, including cats and dogs and can be transferred to humans through bites, scratches and saliva. Sparkle was lucky to make a full recovery from her illness and is now a healthy three year old . It is believed the cat must have licked Sparkle's bottle and that she contracted the illness as a result of bacteria in the cat's saliva . However, it is extremely rare for it to cause meningitis. A spokesperson for the Meningitis Research Foundation said: 'Meningitis can be caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses or fungi infecting the fluid which surrounds the brain and spinal cord. 'Most feline infectious diseases only affect cats whilst most human infectious diseases only affect humans. It is possible but rare for certain diseases to pass between cats and humans, for instance if a cat bites you or licks an open wound you could get an infection. Last month Jessica Livings, 19, revealed she had caught TB while cleaning an open wound on her pet cat, Onyx . Cases of meningitis resulting from an infection passed on from a cat are extremely rare indeed.' Miss . Dodd said: ‘They thought that it was transferred through Chesney's . saliva. I'd been careful not to leave them alone together, but Chesney . must have licked Sparkle's milk bottle while my back was turned. ‘I . was consumed with guilt - I felt as if I hadn't kept a careful enough . eye on things, and that Sparkle's sickness was my fault. I sent Chesney . to go and live with my mother.’ After a month in hospital, Sparkle came . home and has since gone on to make a full recovery. She is now a happy, . healthy toddler who is unafraid of animals. A spokesperson for the charity Meningitis Now told MailOnline: 'It is possible to contract meningitis from cats but it is very, very rare, so people shouldn’t worry unduly about contracting it in this way. 'Our advice would be to keep your family pet and make sure you know the signs and symptoms of meningitis. 'Take prompt action if you suspect the disease. Among the symptoms to look out for in babies and toddlers are fever, with cold hands and feet; a stiff neck and a dislike of bright lights; an unusual cry or moaning; and being drowsy, floppy or unresponsive.' Miss Dodd added: ‘I've been told it's perfectly safe for Sparkle to spend time with Chesney, which is a relief because they've really become best friends.’ Last month, a 19-year-old girl revealed she had caught TB from her pet kitten. Jessica Livings, from Berkshire, is thought to be the first case of cat-to-human transmission. Experts believe she became infected while cleaning her pet's open wound and she had to be rushed to hospital for surgery on severely her damaged lungs. She is now keen to advise new parents to research early symptoms of meningitis in children, which include pain, mottled skin and unusually cold hands and feet or shivering.

Edward Baker's ability to smell gradually deteriorated throughout his adult life after he repeatedly broke his nose playing his favourite sport. He has even undergone surgery to fix the problem, without success. During a recent game of rugby, he received a kick to the face which left him with another bruised and bloody nose. Incredibly, after the swelling went down, he realised he was able to breathe properly and that his sense of smell had been restored. Scroll down for video .

Mr Baker said: 'Although I haven't been able to smell gas for years, I still recognised the pungent smell straight away. 'The leak was in a built-up area with a school and nursery just yards away so the guy who kicked me in the face potentially saved a serious situation.'

But, where skilled surgeons failed, a burly rugby player succeeded. Mr Baker's latest nasal injury happened during a game involving his team, Hampshire-based New Milton III and Poole 1st last month.

However new technology promises to put an end to this annual vexation. Engineers have designed the first wireless Christmas lights that are powered using a magnetic field created around the tree. Scroll down for video . Bright idea! The new lights uses LED lights, contained within decorative baubles, that can be powered using resonant inductive coupling in a similar way to the method that is used to recharge electric toothbrushes . When the bulbs are placed inside the magnetic field they light up and they can also be controlled through an app on a smart phone like an iPhone or tablet. The new lights have been built to sit inside decorative baubles that can be placed anywhere on the tree and the designers claim they will last 20 years longer than traditional Christmas lights. Christopher Higgins, 29, co-founder of Powered by Aura, the California-based company behind the new lights, said: 'This is really a brand new technology and there is nothing quite like it. 'I was inspired to make it because of the amount of wires that suffocate and weigh trees down.' Mr Higgins unveiled the design on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, where he hopes to raise enough money to begin producing commercial in time for Christmas 2015. The lights work by placing a magnetic coil around the trunk of the Christmas tree. A magnetic coil placed around the tree trunk produces a magnetic field that only lights up the bulbs when enter the field. The company behind the technology say the ring can power up to 100 lights . The lights use LEDs bulbs printed onto circuit boards capable of converting a magnetic field into electricity . For trees shorter than five feet this can be placed around the base while for larger trees it needs to be placed in the middle of the foliage, according to the designers. The lights use LED bulbs that can then convert the magnetic field produced by the coil into electrical energy to power the lights, a process known as resonant inductive coupling. The approach is similar to that used to recharge the batteries in electric toothbrushes. Mr Higgins said their Aura Power Ring can power lights on Christmas trees of all shapes and sizes up to around 10 feet tall. The ring also connects to phones, tablets or laptops using WiFi, allowing homeowners to turn their lights on and off, or even to set up a schedule for when they want them to shine. The Aura power ring can produce a magnetic field up to 10 feet tall to power the lights and can be placed around the base of trees shorter than five feet or in the middle of the foliage of taller Christmas trees . The bulbs could save having to wrestle with tangles of Christmas tree lights when decorating next year . Mr Higgins added: 'This uses no batteries, no wires. It's completely different to anything seen before. 'The ornaments receive power from the base ring by being specially constructed and tuned to only communicate with the base ring itself. 'You can set up any kind of schedule for the lights - such as simple on and off toggling to specific times. 'You can even set up a schedule for dates you want the tree to start and stop lighting up.' The lights come in three different styles - clear glass, crackle glass and frosted glass. All styles are available in white and multicolour and the power ring is also available in two sizes - 42 inches wide or 30 inches. Prices for the ring and bulbs start at £45. Currently the company has received around $32,000 (£20,400) of backing on Kickstarter. The lights will come in a variety of colours and designs including frosted glass, crackle white glass, clear .

One hit was planned to occur at Nixon's Key Biscayne, Florida vacation house. A second plot to kill him was to culminate during a Miami speech in 1972. When both plots failed, writes best-selling author Roger Stone in 'Nixon's Secrets: The Rise, Fall and Untold Truth about the President, Watergate, and the Pardon,' the CIA settled for driving Nixon out of office by sabotaging the Watergate break-in. Scroll down for video . Richard Nixon was lucky to survive long enough to resign, judging from claims in a new book that describes two separate CIA plots to assassinate him . Controversial: Roger Stone's last book claimed President Lyndon Johnson was behind the JFK assassination . 'I first learned about this from Howard Liebengood,' Stone told MailOnline on Wednesday, referring to the Republicans' minority counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee in the 1970s. 'The president was supposed to be assassinated,' he quotes Liebengood saying in his book. 'The first place he was supposed to be assassinated at was in Key Biscayne, the second place was when he was supposed to give a speech at the time of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War [VVAW] convention in Miami Beach 1972.' 'Veteran CIA assassin Edwin Kaiser was to supply the weapons to assassinate Nixon with.' Kaiser, an anti-Castro revolutionary, had killed for the CIA before, but Stone claims he and fellow CIA contract killer Frank Sturgis backed out of the mission when they learned who they were expected to kill. Stone said he obtained Kaiser's papers from his son Scott, who has his own book in the works. 'Edwin Kaiser's Covert Life: And His Little Black Book Linking Cuba, Watergate & the JFK Assassination,' will be published in October. 'I got confirmation from Kaiser's papers,' he told MailOnline. Stone claims in his book that Liebengood, who died in 2005, told him that Kaiser and Sturgis 'both insisted that they had not been informed that Richard Nixon was the target until after the intended weapon was obtained.' 'Both . Sturgis and Kaiser insisted they had been led to believe that they were . to execute a \"Communist\"' at the VVAW convention, he writes that . Liebengood told him. 'Kaiser balked when he realized it was a domestic . political hit.' 'Nixon's secrets' is due on bookshelves August 11 and promises to shake up the historical understanding of the only US president to resign his office . He went to the FBI in Miami instead and the plot fizzled. Stone's claims are documented in part by an email from Scott Kaiser in which the assassin's son writes that his father had recalled talking to the CIA's plotters.The idea was to 'create a shoot-out using the Yippies and the Zippies' – anti-war student radical groups – 'and the other \"hard core commies\" they were so worried about,' he said his father had explained. 'The people I spoke to were going to put some of this equipment in their hands,' the elder Kaiser had said, according to his son's email reproduced in Stone's book, 'and some in law enforcement hands, and use some of the local vigilantes to start a shoot out.' 'This would finally straighten out Washington as to where the priorities were on overcoming the \"domestic communist menace\".' The planned diversion wasn't the CIA's first plot to rub out Nixon, Stone claims. In the . email he publishes in 'Nixon's Secrets,' Scott Kaiser wrote that a CIA . operative named Gerald Patrick Hemming told his father how associates of . Antonio Veciana, a Cuban emigre who had been involved in a CIA-led – . and Nixon-approved – plot to kill Fidel Castro, 'had a scheme to ... [fire a] missile at the compound' in Key Biscayne where the president . was staying. 'They . were gonna take out Nixon and put Agnew in power,' Hemming concluded, . suggesting that the CIA was also involved in that conspiracy. Some . of the same CIA operatives involved in the Nixon assassination plots – . including Kaiser, Sturgis and Hemming – were later planted among the . Watergate burglars, Stone explains in 'Nixon's Secrets.' (For . the conspiracy-minded, 'Nixon's Secrets' also notes that Hemming had . been JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's case officer at a naval air . station in Japan, a point of origin for top-secret U-2 spy plane . flights.) The . CIA, he claims, inserted its own people among Nixon's 'plumbers' over . time with instructions to make rookie mistake after rookie mistake. CIA theory: Stone says many of the Watergate burglars including Virgilio Gonzales (L), Frank Sturgis (2nd L) and Bernard Barker (2nd R) were also CIA operatives who were also involved in the John F. Kennedy assassination . Boom: Nixon's Key Biscayne, Florida vacation home, shown in December 1971, was to be turned to rubble with a missile strike, according to Roger Stone's book 'Nixon's Secrets' Their bumbling, which Stone claims as intentional, turned a professional surveillance operation of the Democratic National Committee headquarters into what history would regard as a 'third-rate burglary.' 'When they tried twice to get him killed, that doesn't work,' Stone told MailOnline. 'Then they infiltrate the Watergate break-in, and they sabotage it.' Liebengood, the Watergate committee lawyer who first told Stone about the assassination plots, had been a longtime aide to Sen. Howard Baker, a moderate Republican who assembled his own dossier on CIA involvement in the Watergate affair. Baker tried in vain for months to use that information to spark new committee investigations – which Democrats blocked at every turn. 'Baker’s incredible report was in the back of a 600-page book gathering dust at the Library of Congress, missed by the media and largely unknown until today,' Stone claims in his book. When the senator later looked into the relationship between the president and his CIA director, Richard Helms, he summed it up by remarking that 'Nixon and Helms have so much on each other, neither of them can breathe.' 'Nixon also aggravated the CIA,' Stone told MailOnline, by demanding their records of of the JFK assassination, which he wanted as leverage over the agency.' The president 'was furious when CIA Director Richard Helms refused to hand over the files,' Stone said. The late former Sen. Howard Baker (L), who died two months ago, amassed evidence that the CIA infiltrated the gang of Nixon-era Watergate burglars and purposely set them up to be caught, all in order to being down the president . 'Nixon's Secrets' is hefty at 661 pages, but readable and – mercifully – it requires little advance knowledge of the 1960s and 1970s, or the Watergate saga, to comprehend. The book includes a longish but entertaining introduction to Nixon's political life. Stone, at one time the youngest staffer at Nixon's the infamous Committee to Re-Elect the President, is clearly fond of his subject but makes no attempt to whitewash his crime and cover-up that spiraled out of control and ended his presidency in 1974. Killer? Frank Sturgis, one of the Watergate burglars, was one of two CIA assassins recruited to kill Nixon, according to Stone's book . And he explains clearly why the CIA would want Nixon out of the way and his later-disgraced vice president, Spiro Agnew, at the helm. The CIA and the U.S. military Joint Chiefs of Staff were 'at war' with Nixon in 1969 and 1970, Stone claims, because 'they were opposed to the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam, they were opposed to the SALT [arms limitations] agreement with the Soviets, and they were opposed to the opening to China.' Recalling the mood when Nixon entered the White House in January 1969, Stone told MailOnline that President Lyndon Johnson had frustrated his spies and generals by 'trying to conduct the war personally, picking bombing targets and so on.' The CIA and the Pentagon, he said, 'felt handcuffed.' 'So now we've got a real hard-liner in Nixon. He's going to let us really go after the North Vietnamese,' Stone imagined them thinking. 'But of course that's not what happens. Nixon wants to get out of there, and they're violently opposed to that.' 'Their motivation is to upset this detente.' In 1969, he writes in his book, top military brass were even running a spy ring inside the White House because they were 'desperate to know what Nixon and [his national security chief Henry] Kissinger were up to. 'In December 1971, Charles E. Radford, a twenty-seven-year-old navy stenographer assigned to the National Security Council, working closely with both Kissingerand [his deputy Al] Haig, confessed to sifting through burn bags of top-secret White House documents and delivering these documents to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Thomas H. Moorer,' Stone writes. The naval Yeoman was 'going around copying documents, rifling desks – he actually goes through [Henry] Kissinger's briefcase – copying everything and sending it to the Joint Chiefs,' Stone said." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "CIA and military Joint Chiefs infiltrated the White House and spied on Nixon, the late former president's longtime confidant Roger Stone writes .\nThe agencies wanted room to run in Vietnam but Nixon turned dovish and began a troop withdrawal after his stunning White House victory in 1968 .\nTwo separate plans were drawn up to kill him .\nOne, quickly dismissed, was a plot to fire a missile at Nixon's vacation compound in Key Biscayne, Florida .\nThe other involved a staged gunfight at an anti-Vietnam War convention where Nixon was to speak, with an assassin shooting him in the chaos .\nThe CIA obtained a gun and hired an assassin, but he refused to proceed when he found out who his target was ." } ]

Because the number is stored as 0s and 1s there is a character limit based on the amount of memory taken to store it. So in the case of the Psy video, the number of views surpassed this limit, meaning Google had to upgrade and allocate more memory . It has fixed the problem by allowing 64-but integers and adding an animation. ‘Hover over the counter in PSY's video to see a little math magic and stay tuned for bigger and bigger numbers on YouTube,’ the blog post said.

The judgement from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in Texas ordered that the execution of Scott Panetti, 56, be postponed 'to allow us to fully consider the late arriving and complex legal questions'. The condemned killer was due to be put to death at 6pm (CST) in Huntsville. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia some 14 years before shooting dead his estranged wife Sonja Alvarado's parents in front of her and their three-year-old daughter in Fredericksburg in 1992. In a sworn affidavit in 1999, Ms Alvarado said that although she hated what her ex-husband did, he was a good man who suffered mental illness and should not be put to death. Scroll down for video . Texas death row inmate Scott Panetti, pictured in 1999, talks during a prison interview in Huntsville, Texas, where he is on death row for the 1992 murder of his wife's parents. He is due to be executed later on Wednesday - as attorneys made 11th hour pleas to save him, claiming he is too delusional to stand trial . One of Scott Panetti's self-portraits on death row. Attorneys who contend the condemned Texas inmate set to die today is too delusional for execution have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his lethal injection . The prisoner's attorneys made an eleventh-hour appeal for their client saying he 'stands on the razor's edge of competency' and needs psychological evaluations to illustrate that his severe mental illness has worsened since he last was examined seven years ago. State attorneys contended Panetti's condition 'has not markedly changed' and he should not be given a reprieve from lethal injection. No court has ruled Panetti mentally incompetent or insane. The 56-year-old native of Hayward, Wisconsin, was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1978. He had been hospitalized more than a dozen times for treatment in the decade before fatally shooting Joe and Amanda Alvarado at their home in the Texas Hill Country in 1992. Their daughter Sonja, who was married to Panetti, and her three-year-old daughter, Amanda Lea, had moved in with them and she obtained a court order to keep Panetti away. Ms Alvarado filed for divorce because of her husband's drinking and she said he was obsessed with the notion that the devil lived in their house. Scott Panetti's booking photos shortly after he handed himself into the police after shooting dead his estranged wife's parents in Fredericksburg, Texas in 1992 . Panetti had been hospitalized more than a dozen times for schizophrenia in the decade before he shot dead his wife's parents. He was allowed to act as his own lawyer at trial and characterized himself as a cowboy. Pictured, is one of the inmate's recent sketches . He buried furniture and nailed the curtains shut. Panetti was also having hallucinations that the devil lived in the walls of the house and began washing the walls, believing that they were running with blood. On the morning of September 8, 1992, Panetti armed himself with a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and knives, dressed in camouflage clothing and broke into his estranged wife's parents' home in Fredericksburg, about 60 miles north of San Antonio. Both Joe and Amanda Alvarado were shot at close range in front of his wife and daughter, before Panetti allowed them to leave. He later changed into a suit and handed himself into the police. Panetti's attorneys also have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the broader question of whether executing people who have mental illnesses violates the constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment. In 1986, the high court ruled states may not execute killers whose insanity means they can't understand why they're being put to death. In 2002, the justices prohibited the execution of the mentally impaired. Five years later, ruling on an appeal from Panetti, the court said mentally ill condemned prisoners could be put to death if they have a factual and rational understanding of why they're being punished. Panetti has insisted Satan is working through Texas prison officials to execute him to keep him from preaching the Gospel. Both Joe and Amanda Alvarado (pictured left) were shot dead at close range in front of Panetti's estranged wife Sonja (right) and the couple's three-year-old daughter . Panetti's attorneys want the death date withdrawn or at least delayed to allow for a new round of psychological testing to determine if he's competent to receive the lethal injection. The prisoner is pictured with his parents, Yvonne and Jack, on death row . Testimony from Scott Panetti's 1995 murder trial showed the depth of his delusions when he insisted on representing himself in court. He recounted the murders as such: . Panetti: '... Sarge woke up. Cut off Scott's hair. Sarge suited up. Shells, canteen, pouch, 3006, tropical hat, tropical top, bunkhouse, fast, haircut fast, suited up fast, boom, ready fast, fast, haircut, webgear, top, brush hat, boots, out the door, in the jeep, driving, wife, the bridge. Why is it taking so long? In front of Joe and Amanda's house... 'Sarge, everything fast. Everything fast. Everything slow. Tapped on the window, shattered window. Sonja screams, runs, follow her. She runs out, out the front, knife, Birdie, Birdie [Scott and Sonja's daughter]. Where's Birdie? Pick her up, she's in bed... 'Scott, what? Scott, what did you see Sarge do? 'Fall. Sonja, Joe, Amanda, kitchen. Joe bayonet, not attacking. Sarge not afraid, not threatened. Sarge not angry, not mad. Sarge, boom, boom. Sarge, boom, boom, boom. Sarge, boom, boom. 'Sarge is gone. No more Sarge. Sonja and Birdie. Birdie and Sonja. Joe, Amanda lying kitchen, here, there, blood. No, leave. Scott, remember exactly what Scott did. Shot the lock walked in the kitchen. Sonja, where's Birdie? Sonja here. Joe, bayonet, door, Amanda. Boom, boom, boom, blood. Demons. Ha, ha, ha, ha, oh, Lord, oh, you. Judge: Mr Panetti, let's stop. Panetti: You puppet. Panetti's delusions 'have become more pervasive,' according to one of his attorneys, Gregory Wiercioch, who met with the inmate last week. Wiercioch said Panetti told him devices implanted in his teeth by prison system dentists were sending command messages to his brain, that in the sixth grade he had a fight with future President Barack Obama at a Chicago museum and that his tooth told him to write a letter of apology to Obama. Ellen Stewart-Klein, an assistant Texas attorney general, told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that records failed to support claims that Panetti's mental condition had deteriorated and that some of his odd behavior could be deliberate. 'Panetti's mental health condition has long been exaggerated to his benefit and he continues this long established pattern here,' Stewart-Klein said. At his 1995 trial, Panetti acted as his own attorney, testified as alternate personality 'Sarge' to describe the Alvarado slayings and tried to subpoena Jesus Christ, the pope and the late President John F. Kennedy. Panetti wore a purple cowboy outfit, including a big cowboy hat, and largely ignored a standby attorney the judge appointed to assist him. Panetti as a child (right) and while he served in the U.S. Navy before receiving an honorable discharge (left). His mother said warning signs of her son's mental illness appeared in his youth but she associated them with 'teenager weirdness' During a prison interview in 2006, Panetti claimed he had been taken over by an alter ego he called Sarge Ironhorse, The New York Times reported. He also clutched Bible verses and tried to pull off his prison overalls to show scars which JFK had healed with coconut milk while he fought with the late president in the Pacific during the Second World War. Three years after her ex-husband's trial for the murder of her parents, Sonja Alvarado filed a petition saying that he should never have been tried for the crimes. According to her affidavit in 1999, Ms Alvarado said that she and her mother had tried to alert the police about the threat that her ex-husband posed. 'My mother and I begged the police to take the rifles. Scott had his deer rifle, the 30.06 rifle he used to kill my parents, and the other shotgun at my parents house,' she said. 'Even though the police were told to take the guns, they did not. Scott had made threats against my parents.' She said that her initial police statement was made on the day of her parents' shooting before she had received medical care and was completely traumatized. Ms Alvarado said that she called the District Attorney about a week later when she felt her state of mind was more clear and wanted to add to her statement. She said: 'He [the DA] told me it was best to leave things as they were and they would stick to the original statement given.... Too many mistakes. I feel this was wrong of him... I feel now that I was used on the stand so that I would cover up for the law enforcement mistakes and the Sheriff of knowing Scott’s mental illness for years, not to mention all the other reports that were not written out.' She added: 'I do not hate Scott. I hate what Scott did. Scott was a good person except when he changed...

The findings could help farmers gain a better insight into the wellbeing of their stock and turn boost welfare. They believe the animals express contentment with a stable bleat and small ear movements. Scientists have examined how goats express subtle positive emotions, which could lead to greater understanding of their welfare. They discovered that goats are more likely to point their ears forward (stock image pictured) and keep their tail up when they are in a positive state . While it can be easy to spot an animal in distress, it is often harder for people who work closely with animals to know when they are content. Dr Alan McElligott and Dr Elodie Briefer of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) studied goats at Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats in Monchelsea, Kent. They wanted to get a clear understanding of how the animals express their emotions through sound and behaviour in positive in mildly positive and negative situations. The researchers discovered that the goats were more likely to point their ears forward and keep their tail up when they were in a positive state. They also produced more ‘stable’ calls that varied less in frequency. The scientists hope that by studying how different animals portray their emotions, they can ensure that they are happy in their surroundings, which is of importance not only to animal welfare groups but to consumers who try and buy free range meat, for example.

Free range chickens are pictured . ‘It is often relatively easy to identify negative emotions in animals but we know little about how they show that they are experiencing positive states,’ Dr McElligott said. ‘Subtle hints from goats like small changes in their calls, their heart rate or the position of their ears tell us about what state it is in and could indicate whether their environment is good for their welfare or not.’ Dr Briefer, who is now at ETH Zurich, said: ‘In this study, we were able to identify not only indicators of emotional arousal, but also whether emotions were positive or negative. ‘Such indicators are important for the welfare of the animals, because they tell us when the animals are experiencing a negative versus a positive emotion, and we can thus adapt the environment to avoid negative emotions and promote positive ones.’ Horses look at each other's ears to read emotions (stock image) and when they are interested, their ears prick up . Just like humans, horses read each other’s faces. But, unlike us, they gain important information by specifically examining the ears, according to a study published in August. It seems that when a horse is interested in something, it pricks up its ears and swivels them towards whatever has caught its attention. When a horse's ears are flopping down, it means the creature is relaxed, but when they are pinned back, the horse is expressing anger. The movements are so important that, if its ears are covered up, another horse struggles to know what it is thinking. The finding comes from University of Sussex researchers who studied what makes one horse pay attention to another horse. Researcher Jennifer Wathan, a PhD student said: ‘Although horses have very mobile ears, they can only swivel them round, point them forward, pull them up or flatten them back. Cats and dogs have more movements.’ She added that a greater understanding of how horses communicate could help improve their welfare." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have examined how goats express subtle positive emotions - though calls and behaviours .\nThey are more likely to point their ears forward and keep their tail up when they are content, while their calls are more variable when they are unhappy .\nExperts say understanding small cues such as these could be used by farmers to improve animal welfare ." } ]

Danika Heron's skin began to burn from the inside out, after the new epilepsy medicine she was prescribed triggered an extremely rare illness. She was struck down by Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and TENS - Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome - which caused severe burns to her organs and skin. The rare reaction caused the skin on over half of her body to burn, blister, scab and fall off. Her lips swelled so much they burst and she was wrapped from head to toe in bandages. Danika Heron, 19, suffered a horrific reaction to her new epilepsy medications on her birthday, which left her in hospital for three weeks and fighting for her life. She is pictured here before the horrific incident . Miss Heron was struck down with Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and TENS - Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome - which caused severe burns to her organs and skin . The conditions caused half the skin on her body to burn, scab and fall off (left). Her eyes and lips had swollen painfully (right), she couldn't breathe and her neck had swollen so much she couldn't even drink . Miss Heron, from New South Wales, Australia, was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 18. Shortly before her 19th birthday she was prescribed Lamictal and Keppra, two different epilepsy medications which help control seizures. But on the day of her 19th birthday in May, she noticed her eyes and lips were swollen. She developed a small rash on her chest which quickly spread over her entire body. She went to a hospital in Sydney where doctors initially misdiagnosed her condition as herpes and sent her home. Over a period of four days, Miss Heron's symptoms got progressively worse and her mother, Carmen Heron, 43 took her to another hospital in New South Wales. There, she was diagnosed with foot-and-mouth disease, measles and chicken pox before tests revealed she had SJS and TENS and she was rushed to a hospital in Sydney for treatment. These conditions cause large areas of the skin to peel, as well as blistering of the body's mucous membranes in the mouth, eyes, and vagina. If left untreated they can cause permanent blindness, lung damage and death. Although rare, SJS and TENS have been reported as side effects of Lamictal and Keppra, the two epilepsy drugs Miss Heron was taking. Mrs Carmen Heron said her daughter's condition was so rare and severe it was touch-and-go as to whether she would make it through the night. As the rash spread over her body, her mother feared she wouldn't make it through the night. There is no cure for SJS and TENS, patients are treated with fluids and pain relief like burns victims . Miss Heron's entire body was bandaged up as her mouth fused shut and she lost the top layer of her skin on her face, chest, back and arms (left). She survived the ordeal and is now at home recovering (right) She said: 'I just cried when I saw her, she was staying at her boyfriend's at the time and his mum brought her over as Danika works in Sydney. 'She looked like death warmed up, the rash covered her body, her lips were huge and eyes and lips were weeping gunk. 'Over the next few days her condition got worse, she couldn't breathe and her neck had swollen so much she couldn't even drink. 'The rash was spreading and fast, she went through a box or more of tissues, dabbing her lips and eyes of gunk. Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (TENS) are two forms of the same life-threatening skin disease that cause rash and skin peeling or burning. They also cause sores on the 'mucous membranes' inside the nose, mouth, lungs, and many other parts of the body. SJS and TENS usually are caused by drugs or a bacterial infection. Typical symptoms for both diseases include fever, body aches, a flat red rash, blisters that break out on the mucous membranes. SJS causes small areas of peeling skin while TENS causes large areas of skin to peel. In SJS, a person has blistering of mucous membranes, typically in the mouth, eyes, and vagina, and patchy areas of rash. In TENS, there is a similar blistering of mucous membranes, but the entire top layer of the skin also peels off in sheets from large areas of the body. Sufferers are hospitalised in a burns unit, given IV fluids and high calorie formulas to promote healing. Sometimes they will be given steroids and antibiotics. Once diagnosed, doctors will immediately stop the patient taking the offending drug. Pain medications such as morphine can make the patient more comfortable. If left untreated both conditions can result in death. Possible complications include permanent blindness and lung damage. 'It was heart breaking to see her like that. It came to a point when I thought I was losing her, I was begging her to fight it, willing her to pull though.' Miss Heron spent almost a month in hospital as her entire body blistered, her mouth fused shut and she lost the top layer of her skin on her face, chest, back and arms. She struggled to breathe and had to be fed through a tube as the condition ravaged her body, burning her from the inside out causing her to vomit skin and blood. Her mother said: 'One day I was visiting her and she was struggling I was yelling \"you stay with us you fight this, Danika, please don't go.\" 'I went and grabbed a nurse, next thing I knew all these doctors were in there they put a camera down her throat and I ran out of the room hysterical. 'My husband Scott stayed in there the whole time but when I walked in he had tears running down his face, he explained Danika had thrown up all this gunk, which was skin and blood but her breathing was better. 'They had given her oxygen, and a tube was put down to feed her through, she was out of it, she was taken up to a burns unit after that. 'After that day, it was like everything happened in slow motion, we didn't know if she would make it.' Miss Heron's biopsy came back diagnosing her with TENS. Her mother said: 'They say one in a million get SJS and it's even more rare for TENS, one in three can die and re-occurrence is at about 40 per cent.' There is no known cure for SJS or TENS; once it strikes there is no way to stop it, so Miss Heron was forced to fight for her life as the condition ran its course. Sufferers of SJS and TENS are treated like burns victims and given pain relief and fluid replacement. Miss Heron spent a total of three-and-a-half weeks in hospital battling the life-threatening conditions. She said much of her time in hospital was a blur but she's thankful to have made it out the other end and is looking forward to putting it behind her. She said: 'I don't remember a lot about the first week, I just remember I was in a lot of pain, it felt like I was on fire. 'It scares me as I didn't realise how bad it was until I looked at the photos. 'I'm just grateful to be here, I'm glad to be home and I'm looking forward to getting back to normal again,' Miss Heron says. She is now campaigning for warnings on medications, outlining the symptoms of SJS. Here, she is pictured with her mother Carmen Heron before being hospitalised . 'After I left hospital my hair started falling out and my finger and toes nails did too. 'I have severe dry eyes, struggle to swallow sometimes and my skin is still a bit scarred but I'm hoping that will heal in time. 'I'm just grateful to be here, I'm glad to be home and I'm looking forward to getting back to normal again. 'I think there needs to more done to raise awareness of SJS and TENS, there needs to be more research into the condition and more training in hospitals as it's so rare it isn't easy to diagnose.

Lie detectors, used by law enforcement agencies around the world, work on the assumption that parts of a person's brain will respond involuntarily to certain cues. But last year scientists discovered that a significant proportion of people are able to suppress their brain activity that related to remembering, making them appear innocent and helping them to evade detection. Researchers from the universities of Kent, Magdeburg and Cambridge alongside the Medical Research Council devised an experiment where candidates committed a mock crime, after which they were questioned while experts monitored their brain activity. Their findings have implications for the professionals who rely upon brain activity lie detector tests when questioning criminals. Japan, India and the US use the technique that is based on the assumption that it is impossible to control activity deep in the areas of the brain used for memory. The team behind the study said their results show the technique is 'of limited value' and suggested that investigators using lie detectors in their inquiries should not work on the assumption that a person's brain activity is completely beyond their control. Using a number of sensors attached to the body, physiological changes can be used to determine whether someone is telling the truth.

Now, a new US study suggests the barren region is haemorrhaging ice at a rate triple that of a decade ago. Researchers believe that the melting of glaciers in West Antarctica, which contain enough water to raise sea levels by at least a metre, may be irreversible. Scroll down for video . The Amundsen Sea (pictured) has long been thought to be the weakest ice sheet in the West Antarctic. Now, a new US study suggests the barren region is haemorrhaging ice at a rate triple that of a decade ago . The findings of the 21-year study by Nasa and the University of California, Irvine claim to provide the most accurate estimates yet of just how fast glaciers are melting in the Amundsen Sea Embayment. Scientists found the rate by taking radar, laser and satellite measurements of the glaciers' mass between 1992 and 2013. They found they lost an average 83 gigatons per year (91.5 billion U.S. tons), or the equivalent of losing the water weight of Mount Everest every two years. 'The mass loss of these glaciers is increasing at an amazing rate,' said scientist Isabella Velicogna, jointly of the University of California, Irvine and Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. 'Previous studies had suggested that this region is starting to change very dramatically since the 1990s, and we wanted to see how all the different techniques compared,' added lead author Tyler Utterley of UCI. The study found they lost an average 83 gigatons per year (91.5 billion U.S. tons), or the equivalent of losing the water weight of Mount Everest (pictured) every two years . 'The remarkable agreement among the techniques gave us confidence that we are getting this right.' The researchers reconciled measurements of the mass balance of glaciers flowing into the Amundsen Sea Embayment. Mass balance is a measure of how much ice the glaciers gain and lose over time from accumulating or melting snow, discharges of ice as icebergs, and other causes. Measurements from all four techniques were available from 2003 to 2009. Combined, the four data sets span the years 1992 to 2013. The glaciers in the embayment lost mass throughout the entire period. The researchers calculated two separate quantities: the total amount of loss, and the changes in the rate of loss. It takes just 10 years for a single emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) to have its maximum warming effects on the Earth, according to a new study by the Carnegie Institute for Science. Pictured is the average global surface temperatures in 2013. Red and dark orange show warmer-than-average temperatures . Many scientists believe it takes several decades for the effects of global warming to be felt on Earth. But in fact, it takes just 10 years for a single emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) to have its maximum warming effects on the planet. This is according to Washington-based researchers who claim to have dispelled a common misconception that the damaging effects from a CO2 emission will only be felt by future generations. The results suggest that warming can persist for more than a century and that the benefits from emission reductions will be felt by those who have worked to curb the emissions. Some of these benefits would be the avoidance of extreme weather events, such as droughts, heatwaves and flooding, according to scientists at the Carnegie Institute for Science. However, some of the bigger climate impacts from warming, such as sea-level rise, melting ice sheets and long-lasting damage to ecosystems, may not occur for hundreds or thousands of years later, they claim. 'A lot of climate scientists may have an intuition about how long it takes to feel the warming from a particular emission of CO2, but that intuition might be a little bit out of sync with our best estimates from today's climate and carbon cycle models,' said lead author of the study Dr Katharine Ricke. The rate of loss accelerated an average of 6.1 gigatons (6.7 billion U.S. tons) per year since 1992. From 2003 to 2009, when all four observational techniques overlapped, the melt rate increased an average of 16.3 gigatons per year - almost three times the rate of increase for the full 21-year period. The total amount of loss was close to the average at 84 gigatons. The scientists said that glacier and ice sheet behavior worldwide is by far the greatest uncertainty in predicting future sea level. 'We have an excellent observing network now. It's critical that we maintain this network to continue monitoring the changes,' Ms Velicogna said, 'because the changes are proceeding very fast.' The results were released as a global warming conference has begun in Peru. Those talks are seen as critical to reaching a multilateral accord next year in Paris .

The Mail tracked down Steven Hirsch, who has made millions from hardcore pornography films for the internet, and along the way found it was not just him that stood to lose a great deal of money if a block was in place. We found he is just at the end of the line. Visits to explicit sites can last between 15 and 20 minutes, meaning that a large amount of data is downloaded handing Internet service providers large amounts of cash because of the way their fees are structured. Steven Hirsch admits he is worried about his multi-million-pound business. For 28 years he has ensured that his company, Vivid Entertainment, has been at the forefront of harnessing new technology such as the internet to become what he might call a ‘respected market leader’. Speaking from his lavish offices in Los Angeles, Hirsch exudes an evangelical zeal about his film industry. But rather than the blockbuster family movies Hollywood is so famous for, Hirsch offers a very different kind of on-screen experience. Since the mid-Eighties, Vivid Entertainment has been producing 60 hardcore pornographic films every year. And with the advent of the internet, business was soon booming. Porn baron: Steven Hirsch poses with Savanna Samson, one of his Vivid Entertainment stars . It is for that reason that Hirsch is very much against the Daily Mail’s Block Online Porn campaign, which is aimed at protecting children from the dangers of encountering his so-called ‘adult entertainment’. His arguments are jaw-droppingly self-serving. In a broad Californian drawl, the multi-millionaire chairman and chief executive says: ‘Ten-year-old kids are not interested in watching people having sex because they don’t have sex themselves. They are much more interested in watching the new Batman film.’ When I put to him the findings of this month’s parliamentary inquiry that one in three ten-year-olds have seen pornography online, he seamlessly shifts his position. ‘Ultimately, it’s the parents’ responsibility. They need to be aware of what their children are doing online,’ he says. ‘But kids don’t go online to look for porn.’ Point out that pubescent children naturally have a developing interest in sex, and younger children risk stumbling across obscene material by mistake or view it out of curiosity or the desire to be ‘daring’, and he abandons his line of argument and instead plays the civil liberties card. ‘I think we take a step back as a society when you allow the government to dictate what you can and can’t watch. I mean, just who are the moral police? This ultimately leads you down a path of taking our freedoms away.’ This well-worn argument seems to be the best Hirsch can muster to justify his opposition to restrictions on porn — restrictions that would limit him and others in his sordid profession from making vast profits from a business worth billions a year. And that’s the true reason. We both know the real reason he doesn’t want people having to ‘opt in’ to receive his movies, rather than currently having to opt out: because it threatens his business. ‘Look, some people may feel uncomfortable about letting their Internet Service Provider (ISP) know they want adult content,’ he says. ‘In a free society we should be able to take that decision for ourselves.’ But he would say that, wouldn’t he? The question is why many of Britain’s leading ISPs appear to be aligning themselves with porn barons like Hirsch by rejecting the idea of an opt-in system. For the answer, look at the latest research into the nature of internet usage. Of all the searches carried out on the internet, around a third are for sexual content. The world’s biggest adult website receives an estimated 4.4 billion ‘hits’ — or page views — each month. And while a visit to a news website lasts, on average, up to six minutes (just long enough to read one or two articles) a trawl of a pornographic site typically lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. That means more data is downloaded. But it’s not just a matter of how long you stare at the screen. A news site does not contain a large amount of data because it is often made up of just a few pictures and a lot of text. However, a pornographic site is filled with pictures and videos. Watching them involves downloading vast amounts of data. The more gigabytes of data a customer uses, the more likely they are to have to choose more expensive ISP packages — ones with the option of a higher or limitless download capacity. Obviously, that means more money for the provider. If a third of web searches are for pornography, the potential earnings are enormous. That is why, according to some independent academics, ISPs — which make £3 billion a year from selling internet access to consumers — do not want to have the ‘opt in’ to adult content option made law because it could affect profits. Not suitable for children: This screen grab from . Google shows just some of the free-to-view smut websites that can be . easily found through the search engine . Certainly, some ISPs structure their fees to rake in money from large data downloads. In one package, BT, for instance, charges £13 for 10 gigabytes downloaded each month (an hour-long movie, for example, can take up 1GB). If the customer exceeds that amount he will, after a one-month grace period, be charged a further £5 for each extra 5GB used, up to a maximum of an extra £15 a month. Sky TV customers receive 2GB each month as part of their free internet package. If they exceed that twice in a six-month period they will automatically be placed on the £7.50 a month unlimited package. Though the big six residential providers — BT, Virgin Media, Talk Talk, Sky Broadband, Orange and O2 — have 20 million customers between them, in real terms broadband prices are falling (the average monthly rental dropped from £26 in 2005 to £14 in 2010) as greater competition has cut prices. This means it’s more important than ever for ISPs that they win every customer they can — and extract as much money as possible from each of them. And it is hard not to conclude that if porn was effectively blocked at source, they would lose considerable sums in revenue from the drop in the amount of data being downloaded and paid for by customers. Among the major ISPs, only TalkTalk allows parents to block all adult material from the entire network affecting every device, from computers to mobile phones, that logs on to its broadband. The others insist that filtering software available in their packages can be used to protect children from the perils of adult material. However, these can be applied to just three computers in a household, and do not work on tablets and smartphones, the devices so popular with children. The Internet Service Providers’ Association, which represents the ISPs, insists it’s wrong to say its members are opposed to the ‘opt in’ to adult sites campaign because they fear it could cut profits. Instead they claim it would ‘lessen parental mediation, lulling them into a false sense of security’ and could even block sites that are not actually pornographic (asked for an example, they suggest a biology website which might be useful to a student’s studies could be blocked). ‘The objection is not because ISPs directly benefit from pornography, but because we believe that other filtering options provide better protection for children,’ said the spokesman. And Steven Hirsch insists he takes full responsibility for what his three children aged 16, 11 and eight view online, even monitoring their passwords. Compulsive: Internet service providers make much of their profits through high bandwidth downloads, much of which is pornography . Hirsch is not alone in his blithe promotion of the porn industry’s interests. Michael Klein, the president of the U.S. company Hustler — one of America’s leading porn conglomerates — is adamant that software filters currently available are adequate. He says it is the ‘responsibility and job of the parent’ to stop children being able to log on to adult sites. He effectively suggests that the rights of those wanting to view ‘good pornography’ are more important than protecting children. ‘What is being proposed in the UK would punish people who want to see good adult entertainment just because others are worried that parents can’t do a good enough job of stopping their own children from viewing such content,’ he says. ‘As long as what you are watching does not include any child pornography or any actual images of someone being hurt or injured against their will, then each person should be able to have freedom to watch and enjoy the programming that they want. ‘What if the next step is that they decide they don’t like martial arts movies or action movies, and decide that in their mind they want to block your ability to see that on the internet as well because they don’t think you are responsible enough to make sure that your kids don’t see that Sylvester Stallone or Bruce Willis action movie?’ Except, of course, that action movies do not irreparably warp children’s view of sexuality. As porn will continue to do, until the Internet Service Providers agree to clamp down on this sordid — but oh so lucrative — business." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Steven Hirsch said parents should take responsibility for what their children are looking at - not him .\nOf all internet searches carried out on the internet, around a third are for sexual content .\nThe world's biggest adult website receives an estimated 4.4billion 'hits' each month .\nInternet service providers rake in huge amounts of cash from visits to explicit sites because so much data is downloaded ." } ]

'We are in progressive decline,' he told a shareholders' meeting in Turin. 'Italian football will soon be dying if it is unable to face up to a double challenge: on the domestic front the fans have to fill up the stadiums, and abroad the challenge of a truly global market.' Paul Pogba (R) wins the ball while playing for Juventus, but Italian football is not what it used to be . Juventus president says structural limits are in danger of destroying Serie A . 'England, Germany and Spain have overtaken us in any number of criteria, revenue, sustainability of the business, sporting results, the value of their stadium and the UEFA ranking,' he said. 'Today, we are struggling to defend fourth place from Portugal,' he added, referring to the coefficients which determine how many places each country is allocated in the Champions League and Europa League. 'Our main competitors Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Barcelona have clearly moved ahead of us,' said Agnelli. 'No Italian club is in a state where they can grow at that rhythm, the sign of the structural limits which affect our football.' 'Ten years ago, Serie A generated almost the same receipts as the Bundesliga, a little less than La Liga and almost a third of the Premier League. Then, we were a tortoise, now we are a shrimp.' No Italian side has won the Champions League since Jose Mourinho's (C) Inter Milan in 2010 . No Italian team has progressed beyond the Champions League quarter-finals since Inter Milan won the trophy in 2010 and there has been an exodus of big-name players, culminating in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's departure from AC Milan two years ago. Nowadays, Serie A teams tend to attract players who have fallen out of favour at bigger clubs, such as Juventus forward Carlos Tevez and AC Milan's Fernando Torres, or young foreign players hoping to use it as a springboard to another league. Juve are the only Serie A club who own their own stadium while others play in often dilapidated municipally-owned arenas. Star draw Zlatan Ibrahimovic left Serie A to play for Paris Saint Germain in Ligue 1 . Out of favour stars like Fernando Torres (L) and Carlos Tevez have stepped down from the Premier League . Agnelli said the election of Carlo Tavecchio as Italian federation president in August was another sign of the problems. Tavecchio, 71, was chosen despite referring to African players as 'banana eaters' in a speech and has been banned from any UEFA-related activity for six months by European soccer's governing body over his remarks. 'His election has ignored the indications of footballers, coaches, referees and a substantial part of Series A,' said Agnelli. Carlo Tavecchio has been banned for six months by UEFA after referring to African players as 'banana eaters' 'It was a defeat for many people and a victory for some crafty characters, whose consensus was born in a time from long ago. 'I am convinced that the conservative forces in Italian football, which seem to prevail at the moment to protect small and large special interests and personal incomes, will not be able to stifle those who support the change.' An Inter Milan statement read: 'FC Internazionale is saddened to hear that Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has once again attempted to distort the facts and change history. Unfortunately for him, and for Italian football as a whole, 2006 was a disastrous year in which the Scudetto was legitimately awarded to Inter by the FIGC and Juventus were relegated to Serie B along with their reputation. 'Those are the facts.

Laws have been in place since the early 1990s to outlaw bonded labour, but still the cycle continues, with thousands of children sucked in every year to help pay back money their parents have often borrowed out of desperation. At an open-air factory on the edge of Hyderabad, around 90 miles north of Karachi, tall, tapering chimneys belch out noxious smoke. Scroll down for video . More than two million Pakistanis are trapped in 'modern-day slavery', condemned to a lifetime of hardship to pay back supposed debts . A Pakistani labourer makes bricks at a brick kiln factory on the outskirts of Hyderabad; A global survey of slavery published last month by the Australian campaign group the Walk Free Foundation said Pakistan had the third most 'slaves' in the world, after India and China. Crouching children gather lumps of clay and pack them into rectangular moulds. On the ground, long rows of unbaked bricks wait to go into the kiln. These are the scenes that have been the backdrop to Ranjhan's life since he was a child. For several decades he has worked in a brick kiln as a bonded labourer, tied to his employer by a debt his salary will never enable him to repay. The father-of-three said: 'I've spent the last 40-odd years in this grind, sometimes in one factory, sometimes in another.' Ranjhan works seven days a week at the coal-fired kiln, where 1,000 bricks will earn him a little over £1, every cent of which goes straight back to his employer. 'I borrowed 40,000-50,000 rupees (£413-516) to buy food for my children. I will never pay it back before I die - my debt will die with me.' A global survey of slavery published last month by the Australian campaign group the Walk Free Foundation said Pakistan had the third most 'slaves' in the world, after India and China. Most work in brick making or agriculture. Walk Free says the government needs regulate brick kilns and enforce anti-slavery laws. Ranjihan says little about why he took out the loan in the first place. From buying food to wedding dowries to hospital visits - there is no shortage of reasons why workers enter into lifelong deals with their employers. Puno Bheel, who set up a brickworkers' union in Hyderabad a few years ago, said: 'Before the union, the workers here didn't even have names, just numbers. If someone came and asked them their name, they'd say 'Ask the boss, he'll tell you.' From buying food to wedding dowries to hospital visits - there is no shortage of reasons why workers enter into lifelong employment deals . And the debt often escalates, as accommodation and food costs are often added. Some small trade unions are lobbying bosses to raise salaries to the equivalent of $3 a day and to not trap their workers in the debt cycle. Puno Bheel, who set up a brickworkers' union in Hyderabad a few years ago, said: 'Before the union, the workers here didn't even have names, just numbers. If someone came and asked them their name, they'd say 'Ask the boss, he'll tell you.' But despite their best efforts the unions are fighting a difficult battle. A few employers may have improved wages and conditions, but the unions have not persuaded any to free bonded labourers. But some workers, like Sajan Kumar, have been able to escape. Five years ago the owner of a rice and pepper farm where he had worked for years with his family demanded £2,877, claiming their work had not covered the cost of feeding them. Mr Kumar's uncle went to the Green Rural Development Organisation, a campaign group, which took the matter to court. Some small trade unions are lobbying bosses to raise salaries to the equivalent of $3 a day and to not trap their workers in the debt cycle . Workers debts often increase, rather than go down, as their employers add accommodation and food costs to the total they owe . But things only got worse for the farmer and his family. Mr Kumar claims the owner and his men threw him and his extended family in vehicles and drove them into the desert 'chained like animals'. After days of being held captive, the 87 members of Kumar's extended family, all from the Hindu minority, were rescued by the police. Mr Kumar said: 'It was slavery, what else would you call it? We were treated like animals, we worked day and night.' Once freed, the family accusing the landowner of illegal detention, an audacious move in a country where the rich and powerful rule virtually unchallenged in rural areas. Mr Kumar and his family got more than £12,797 in an out-of-court settlement. He now lives in the village of Azad Nagar, near Hyderabad, which is populated by former bonded labourers. Ghulam Haider, the head of the Green Rural Development Organisation who set up Azad Nagar in 2006, said they had managed to free 28,000 people, but around half of them have ended up back in bonded labour for want of any other work .

The high-flying Saints face an Arsenal side who have been struggling to maintain their top-four credentials so far this term. The Gunners have spent very little time in the Champions League positions but victory will certainly go some way to achieving that, against a team which has produced a number of their top talent in recent years . Arsenal's young talent including Aaron Ramsey and Calum Chambers in training at London Colney . Nathaniel Clyne celebrates scoring for Southampton, who are flying high in third place in the Premier League . Theo Walcott moved to Arsenal from Southampton for £9million in January 2006 . Arsene Wenger has signed three players from Southampton for a combined £35million. They are: . Theo Walcott - Signed for £9m in January 2006 . Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Signed for £12m in August 2011 . Calum Chambers - Signed for £12m in July 2014 . Wenger was also interested in signing these three players from the Saints: . Gareth Bale - Moved to Tottenham Hotspur for £7m in May 2007 (before leaving for Real Madrid in a world-record £86m deal in September 2013) Luke Shaw - Moved to Manchester United for £31m in June 2014 . Morgan Schneiderlin - Still at St Mary's . Arsenal's talent spotters have traditionally found St Mary's a happy hunting ground. Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calum Chambers have all arrived in north London from the south coast in recent years. There could have been more: Gareth Bale, Luke Shaw and Morgan Schneiderlin have been on Arsene Wenger's radar at one time or another. Speaking in 2012, Arsenal manager Wenger said: 'The question of Southampton's academy set-up is a very good one because they have done a fabulous job. 'Why? It is down to the quality of their scouting, the quality of their coaching and education. When you look at what Bale is doing, and Walcott. 'And now they have they players like Morgan Schneiderlin, they have brought some players of top, top quality and they work well. They have fantastic scouting.' Glowing praise, indeed. No wonder Arsenal have kept such a close eye on Southampton's talent pool. Having already won at the Emirates Stadium this season, albeit in the Capital One Cup, victory on Wednesday will confirm Koeman side as bona-fide Champions League contenders. And while Arsenal have never been out of touch with the top four, they are yet to stake a firm claim in the elite pack so far this season. Wednesday night is a big test for both clubs in north London. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain swapped St Mary's for the Emirates when he moved for £12m in August 2011 . Calum Chambers also moved from the Saints to Arsenal for a £12million sum last summer . Let's face it, we all expect the wheels to come off at some point between now and the end of the season for Southampton. The Saints were heavily tipped to struggle this season following the much-publicised summer exodus of their top players. Relegation was even mentioned in some circles, a thought those who made such assumptions would never admit. But the quality of their scouting system has shone through once more. Arsenal also tried to sign Luke Shaw (left), who moved to Manchester United for £30million last summer and Morgan Schneiderlin, who remains at St Mary's Stadium and has excelled so far this season . Arsene Wenger was tracking Gareth Bale while he was at Southampton but he is now at Real Madrid . And what if Arsenal come knocking again? There's plenty on offer at St Mary's. Graziano Pelle arrived as Rickie Lambert's replacement and was hardly a household name on these shores. However, speak to some of Pelle's Saints team-mates today and they'll tell you the Italian is an upgrade on Lambert. Nine goals since his arrival in England tells its own story. Dusan Tadic was signed as Adam Lallana's replacement. Again, not a name many Barclays Premier League followers would know much about. Danny Welbeck is mobbed by his team-mates after scoring a vital goal for Arsenal against West Brom . Santi Cazorla guides Aaron Ramsey during the victory over the Baggies at the weekend . Ronald Koeman has impressed as manager so far and will look to continue his good work against Arsenal . Graziano Pelle has been an excellent signing for Southampton so far this season, scoring nine times . They definitely do now, though; the Serb's pace, skill and intelligence down Southampton's left has been a key feature of Koeman's attacking blueprint. Ryan Bertrand replaced Luke Shaw at left back and Saints fans have hardly noticed the £31m man's departure. Even the decision to allow Chambers to leave for Arsenal was part of a grand plan: to allow Nathaniel Clyne to fully establish himself as the club's first-choice right back. Dusan Tadic (right) has added pace, skill and intelligence to Southampton's left-hand side . He's not only accomplished that task, but he is now, arguably, England's first-choice right back. And following an astonishing run of 11 wins in 12 games, Southampton found themselves in the top four last month. Those who doubted how they'd cope without Lallana, Shaw, Lambert and Chambers were eating their words. But two games without a win has once again cast doubt on Southampton. So while the south coast pretenders occupy a seat at the top table they must fear they'll lose more talent to the likes of Arsenal if they maintain their remarkable start to the season.

This incredible video shows them pushing their bodies to the limit while dangling from a huge structure in the French countryside. The athletes do amazing ring tricks under a bridge and over the water in the footage as they demonstrate phenomenal agility, strength, conditioning and elasticity. The gymnasts complete a series of moves and demonstrations in impressive Olympic style during the video which runs for just over two minutes and nine seconds. The participants attach ropes and rings to the bridge and prepare to showcase their magnificent skills as the video commences and the Dropkick Murphys song I'm Shipping Up To Boston plays in the background. One of the gymnasts can be seen powdering his hands while his colleagues subsequently experiment with rings and ropes as they hurl themselves off the bridge. Another gymnast rolls his finger on his head as if to imply that he is crazy. Moments later another gymnast is seen somersaulting backwards off the bridge. The gymnasts perform an exciting and impressive display which includes an abundance of swinging, circling, transitional, and release moves.

Issam El Baf said he couldn't tell what his son Bilal, 25, and the unknown man were doing and but he would come by the family home once every fortnight or each week. Mr El Baf said Bilal had been friends with the man for a few weeks. This comes as pictures emerged of Taha El Baf, the youngest of the four Western Sydney brothers. Taha El Baf, 17, and his older siblings – two of whom weigh over 140kg and have been described as too unfit to be terrorist fighters – flew via Turkey to join the extremist group last month. The distraught father of the four brothers said he has not heard from them since receiving a text saying 'see you in paradise'. Scroll down for video . Bassima (left) and Issam El Baf (right) - the parents of four brothers from Sydney's south-west who left Australia to fight in Syria . Muslim community leader Dr Jamal Rifi (centre) pictured with concerned parents of four boys . El Baf, who was in his final year of high school at Birrong Boys High School before he fled his family home in Yagoona, was a promising student and played for a local rugby league team, while his brothers had stable jobs. Before they were due to come home last month, the parents received a text stating: 'We made it to Bilad al-Sham, we will see you in paradise'. Bilad al-Sham is a region in Syria. Despite the text, parents Bassima and Issam El Baf went to the airport to pick up their sons but they never arrived. They now fear their boys have been lured into the clutches of the IS terrorist organisation. Their father Issam El Baf said he hadn't heard anything since receiving the haunting text. 'It's bad, very bad,' he said. 'It's very frustrating. We haven't heard anything for three weeks.' Authorities tracked the sons down in Turkey after the family alerted them but it is believed they have since crossed the border into Syria. Taha El Baf, 17, from Yagoona, and his three older brothers flew to Syria to join the Islamic State last month . The 17-year-old also appeared in a school anti-bullying video which was posted to YouTube last year . More Australians have slipped through the cracks and fled overseas to join the fight with Islamic State . Unlike some before them, the siblings were 'clean-skins' and had not been on any watch-lists that would have alerted immigration controls. In a statement last month, their mother pleaded with them to come home. 'My sons, you are dear to us. You are good at heart. You have done nothing wrong. 'Come back. We love you.' Last month, leading Islamic community leader Dr Jamal Rifi said revealed two of the four Sydney brothers are 'obese' and may be snubbed by fellow terrorists if they eat all their rations. Dr Rifi said the men would not make good foot soldiers for the terror group, and believes they will be used for propaganda videos instead. When the brothers sent their shocked mother a one line text message saying they had arrived safely in Syria last month, she thought it was a cruel joke. Dr Jamal Rifi said two of the brothers are over 140kg and would not make good foot soldiers for IS . The message read: 'We made it to Bilad al-Sham, we will see you in Paradise.' One of the brothers had initially told the mother that he won four tickets to Thailand and he was going to take his brothers with him. The parents say if they knew their sons - Omar, 28, Bilal, 25, Hamza, 23, and 17-year-old Taha - were going to Syria they would never have driven them to the airport. Mr El Baf said there was nothing to make him or his wife think their sons would travel to Syria. 'They have been brought up fairly highly educated, went to a good school,' he said on Wednesday. 'They are very good kids. They never play in the street ... they were always home with us.' Ms El Baf could barely speak through her tears as she pleaded with her boys to come home. 'They are my babies, still my babies,' she said. Dr Rifi told radio station 2UE: 'The family is distraught, their main concern is to initiate contact, the concern are not concerned how they were radicalised but that they want them to come back. 'We are hoping the fact that because two of them are quite obese they will not good foot soldiers, they are over 140 kg. 'People are going to realise what are we going to do with them? Are they going to eat al the food and you can't even run on the field.' Dr Rifi said the family was trying to get messages to the brothers but they had not responded and had probably had their mobile phones confiscated by IS. He explained the family had given all the information to the authorities who were trying to 'put the pieces of the puzzle together'. Their mother is of Lebanese descent and their father is a taxi driver, they also have another brother and sister living at home. Many foreign fighters have already left the country including Mohamed Elomar (pictured) Dr Rifi added they were 'simple boys' who could not organise trip properly, and he revealed they had missed the first flight they had booked and had to re-book one for the next day. He said: 'They have no life experience. They (the parents) had no idea what their kids were planning such a move, these are ordinary kids who live at home, they showed no sign of radicalisation.' The fifth son went to meet a flight that was coming in from Thailand last month, hoping it was a joke. Dr Rifi said the family had alerted the authorities to the brothers' departure and it was now up to them to 'put the pieces of the puzzle together'. It emerged on Saturday authorities had tracked the brothers - who lived in south-west Sydney - as far as Turkey and alerted the family last week. Australian Federal Police commissioner Neil Gaughan told a parliamentary committee that the group of four that managed to leave the country this week were 'not on anyone's radar',The Guardian reported. 'We got wind of it after the fact, but the fact is there are still people travelling,' said Gaughan, the national manager of counter-terrorism for the Australian Federal Police,' he said.
