A new Ebola jab is being given to people living in the West African countries most badly hit by the virus after human trials in unaffected countries proved successful. Scientists hope that immunisation is possible with just one injection after 'highly promising results' in the first 138 healthy adults who were vaccinated with various doses. The vaccine, developed in Canada, is based on an animal virus called vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) that is combined with a portion of the protein covering of the Ebola virus. Scroll down for video . A new Ebola jab is being given to people living in the West African countries most badly hit by the virus. Pictured: a man washes his hands at a checkpoint in Sierra Leone's during the recent country-wide lockdown to combat the virus . When administered, it induces an immune response against the Ebola virus. The researchers, whose findings are published in the New England Journal of Medicine, said one jab protects against a disease which has killed more than more than 10,460 people in a year across six countries including Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the US and Mali. Dr Michael Ramharter, of the Medical Research Unit at Albert Schweitzer Hospital, Lambarene, Gabon, said the Ebola antigen is inserted into the vaccine as a Trojan horse to get the body to develop an immune response against the virus. He said: 'An Ebola glycoprotein from the Ebola strain in Zaire is being inserted into the VSV live vaccine. While VSV only causes mild symptoms in humans, the protein acts as an Ebola antigen and triggers the formation of antibodies against the disease in the immune system.' Dr Ramharter said these antibodies hide, almost like a 'Trojan horse', in the body in order to successfully fight the Ebola virus if the individual becomes infected. Scientists hope that immunisation is possible with just one injection after 'highly promising results' He added: 'Just one vaccine has conferred one hundred per cent protection against Ebola in the initial trials on primates.' Dr Ramharter said the first phase I clinical trial is now complete. He said: 'The vaccine response is very reliable, the vaccine itself is safe and its tolerability is acceptable.' The most significant side effect was found to be temporary joint pain and inflammation reported among a small group of test subjects, particularly in the European centres. In the phase II studies that are now beginning, the vaccine will be used in patients living in the areas currently most badly affected by Ebola, especially Guinea and Sierra Leone, but also in Liberia. The first case of Ebola was reported in West Africa around 15 months ago. According to estimates, around 25,000 people have been infected by the virus - and more than 10,000 of them having died since as a result. The race is on to find ways to prevent and cure the Ebola virus as there are no proven treatments or vaccines to prevent individuals becoming infected. But progress is now being made on an unprecedented scale with trials which would normally take years and decades being fast tracked on a timescale of weeks and months. The aim is to use the lowest dose of vaccine possible that provides protection. Vaccines train the immune systems of healthy people to fight off any future infection. Corporal Anna Cross, 25, was discharged from London's Royal Free Hospital after being successfully treated for Ebola with the experimental drug MIL 77 .

People who have never been divorced can expect a retirement income 13% higher than a colleague . The cost of divorce can wreck retirement many years after the break-up of a marriage, according to research. People who have never been divorced can expect a retirement income 13 per cent higher than a colleague who has been through a divorce. It means an extra £2,100 a year – £17,800 rather than £15,700 – to anyone who has kept their marriage intact, or who has never married, according to the survey for the Prudential. It also found that one in five divorcees who stop work this year will retire with debts to drag down their disposable income and their lifestyles. The debt of a divorced retiree averages £22,100, Prudential’s report said, while many divorced people will have to get by on low incomes after ending their careers. Researchers said that nearly one in five divorced people will retire on incomes of less that £9,500 – the level identified by poverty analysts at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation think tank as the minimum income for a single pensioner to enjoy a decent life. By comparison, only 13 per cent of people who are not divorced will be below the line, yesterday’s report said. The impact of divorce on a former spouse’s wealth is such that divorcees coming up to retirement age are 13 per cent more likely to delay retirement and continue working. The study adds to evidence that neither the emotional nor the financial effects of divorce are quickly overcome by families that break up. Years of research have established that the children of divorced parents are likely to do worse at school, worse in their careers after they leave school, to be more at risk of taking drugs or falling into crime, and to suffer worse health. The impact of divorcing parents lasts long after a child has grown up and become an independent adult, studies suggests . The latest survey provides new evidence that the financial crash that husbands, wives and children suffer during a divorce – usually including loss of income, the price of running two homes instead of one, legal costs, and the long-term burden of maintenance payments for one spouse – does not fade away even as old age approaches. Apart from the costs of supporting a former partner who is bringing up their children, a divorced man or woman faces giving up a share of their pension when they retire through ‘pension-splitting’ arrangements. One in five divorcees who stop work this year will retire with debts to drag down their disposable income and their lifestyles, according to research . Prudential pensions specialist Clare Moffat said: ‘Although the emotional impact of divorce may have long passed, it could come as a shock for people to find that it continues to impact them financially into their retirement. ‘A pension fund is likely to be one of the largest and most complicated assets a couple will have to split in the event of a divorce. Professional advice is particularly important in the face of the recent changes to pensions legislation and divorced retirees acting on advice received under the previous rules may want to consider seeking updated advice on any post-retirement plans they have made. ‘During a divorce the costs can quickly mount up, with legal fees, the cost of setting up a new home and the effect of splitting any existing retirement savings all potentially impacting the ability of those involved to continue saving into a pension. Unfortunately divorce is most likely among those aged 40 to 44, the period in many people’s lives when earning potential peaks and the most valuable pension contributions can be made.’ The findings were based on a survey carried out by Research Pluse among 7,687 people aged over 45, who included 1,012 people intending to retire this year.

(CNN)I was a copygirl in my fourth month at the Chicago Daily News, my second assigned to the city desk. It had become my custom at 4 o'clock, when the city desk secretary left for the day, to move over to her spot to help answer the phones as the beat reporters called in to check out for the day. It was so quiet that afternoon -- 70 years ago, on Thursday, April 12, 1945 -- the city editor and assistant city editor had felt comfortable leaving their desks. The second city editor, Guy Housley, was to my left. To my right, perhaps 6 feet away, the telegraph editor, George Dodge. At 4:50, the old-fashioned upright "candlestick" telephone on his desk rang -- the direct line The Associated Press used to alert editors to major news events. He answered, replaced the bell-like receiver on its hook and said to everyone in general and no one in particular, "Roosevelt is dead." The silence of shock. Until Dodge jumped up so quickly, his swivel chair crashed into the glass-fronted bookcase behind him -- a symphonic orchestra cymbals sound -- and ran to what was called the Tube Room, with its row of Associated Press Teletype machines. Housley said, "Clear the decks for action." The words had barely cleared his lips when City Editor Clem Lane half-ran back into the city room. Hal O'Flaherty, director of the Daily News Foreign Service, was only a step or two behind. The door of the managing editor's office that opened into the city room flew open, and Managing Editor Everett Norlander joined them around the copy desk, where Dodge was editing the bulletin. Lane wheeled toward the rewrite desk. "Cleveland! Get downstairs. Get the reaction." The main entrance to the Chicago Daily News building also served as the main entrance to the Northwestern Railroad terminal, with its commuter trains to the North Shore communities. A veritable sea of lemmings would be coming up that marble incline for the next hour. Not that Charlie Cleveland could linger. The Daily News, an afternoon newspaper, was strictly limited in the hours it could publish. Only an hour or so remained for EXTRAs. I knew clips would be needed and ran to the library, the old "morgue." They'd heard and had a splay of white envelopes on President Franklin D. Roosevelt -- big and bulging -- spread out. They had one, as I recall -- a small one -- on Harry S. Truman. I grabbed it and ran back down the corridor. Bob Lewin, who usually handled labor stories, had been told "to do something on the new president." He opened the Truman envelope, spread out the newspaper clippings and reached for one of the "books" in a wire basket within easy reach of reporters and rewritemen: five sheets of copy paper stapled together, with four sheets of carbon paper between. To be rolled into typewriters and have the necessary copies: the top one for the editor, a carbon copy for the reporter's reference and three others for distribution to various editors or news desks . Lewin's eyes moved over the clippings, evaluating, rejecting, selecting, deciding what to use. At last, he started typing. Because of the time pressure, the story would be done in "short takes": two, maybe three paragraphs at a time. He wrote: . "The new President -- the 33d in the history of the United States -- is Harry S. Truman. "He was automatically elevated to the presidency on the death of President Roosevelt. "Truman will be 61 on May 8." Lewin ripped the book out of the typewriter roller. I left him the bottom page for reference and rushed the top page to Lane. Back by Lewin, I read over his shoulder: . "Born in Lamar, Mo., Truman's political rise was spectacular. "He was relatively little known outside of his home state when he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1934. He had the backing of the late Tom "Boss" Prendergast, of the Kansas City machine. This time, Lewin gave me a nod. I pulled out the book, the typewriter roller ratcheting protest. After two more takes, Lane said, "Okay, that's it." Cleveland was back. The cricket-like click click click of typewriter keys at the rewrite desk drew me, and I stood by to take his story to Lane: . "Word of President Roosevelt's death struck Chicago late this afternoon with numbing suddenness. "Within a few minutes after the bulletins came to The Daily News, the office switchboards were swamped with calls for verification. "So great were the number of calls, that the lines became clogged and many queries could not be handled. "Many of the callers spoke as if disbelieving the report -- as if it were some wildly spread rumor. "The same kind of uncertainty was noticed in the faces of the crowds thronging homeward. Word passed from one to another: . "'Did you hear that? Roosevelt is dead? Is it true'?" Cleveland's story delivered, I returned to the city desk to help with the calls. Many, as he had mentioned, from people wanting to know whether it was true but some from reporters and beat men who'd been heading home, reporting the reaction where they were. A copyboy rushed around the room, dropping off copies of the first EXTRA -- the simple news in a 76-point-type headline: ROOSEVELT DEAD . Statements began coming in from local officials and civic leaders, a few phoned in but most from the City News Bureau, which served the Chicago newspapers with local news as the wire services did with national news. I sorted through the multiple copies, separating them into ever-growing stacks. The second EXTRA was dropped off. ROOSEVELT DEAD With the subhead: Dies at 63 of Hemorrhage in Georgia . The last EXTRA had a three-column photo of Roosevelt, edged in black, a two-column of Truman and a story on the president's death and funeral plans. As the editors talked, I heard one ask, "What kind of president do you think he'll make?" And O'Flaherty, director of the Daily News Foreign Service, said, "If there's anything to the American system, the man will rise to the office." I've thought of that through the years as Truman has risen in the opinion of presidential historians. The atom bomb. The Marshall Plan. The Berlin Airlift. The Truman Doctrine. Recognition of the state of Israel. Desegregation of the armed services. Ordering U.S. forces to oppose the invading forces when North Korea crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded South Korea, then organizing a United Nations army. Firing Douglas MacArthur. I continued to sort the statements from officials. Lane asked me to take one set down to Lloyd Lewis. The chief editorial writer had a corner office at the far end of the long office corridor. I found him sitting in the dark, looking out the window at the Chicago skyline. Sensing my presence, he said, "I wonder what the world will be like without him." "I don't know, sir." In the dusk, the quiet, I suspect he didn't expect an answer, but I thought about Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who served in the White House for an unprecedented 12 years. "He's the only president I can remember." He turned, saw me in the doorway, a teenager in penny loafers, a cardigan sweater and a pleated plaid skirt, and said with a nod, "Of course." I gave him the statements and updated him on the latest news. "The funeral train will bring his body up from Georgia ... to Washington, I mean." The next morning, I turned to the editorial page to see what he'd written. Lewis took his cue from Roosevelt's address to a joint session of the Congress following his trip to Yalta. The headline: . "It has been a long journey. I trust you will agree it has been a fruitful one." Note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly quoted FDR's age in the Chicago Daily News subhead. He was 63.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt died suddenly 70 years ago April 12 in Warm Springs, Georgia . Lauder: He was longest-serving president in history; impact was felt immediately and personally .

Saturday Night Live poked fun at Hillary Clinton just hours before she is set to announce she is running for president, by mocking her decision to tell the world via social media. The former Secretary of State, played by Kate McKinnon, and one of her advisers, played by Vanessa Bayer, discuss how she will declare her intentions at noon on Sunday following years of speculation. The pair decide to record a cellphone video of the Democrat for her campaign launch in a bid to make her come across as soft and approachable, following concerns she will not be able to relate to ordinary voters. During the scene, which includes a cameo from her husband Bill, they insist her second run at the White House will be about the people and not centered around her. But, despite desperate attempts to not be self-centered, Clinton seems incapable of talking about anyone but herself and brushes off her potential competitors. The show took aim at the 67-year-old as she is expected to reveal via video that she is taking another stab at what she believes is 'the highest and hardest glass ceiling'. Saturday Night Live skewered the news that Hillary Clinton would be announcing her presidential campaign on social media this week . The show portrayed the former Secretary of State as aggressive and driven, saying things like; 'Citizens, you will elect me' Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Barbra Streisand and Former US President Bill Clinton at a 2013 event. It is believed she will have a string of celebrity backers for her second White House bid . Barack Obama has already given her his backing by saying he believes she will be an 'excellent president', but the comedians on the NBC show latched onto a memo that was made public on Saturday, saying her campaign will be humble and about 'everyday Americans'. After decades in the public eye, and stints in political offices, she faces a challenge showing her more down-to-earth side. On her first try at recording the video she screams in a dictatorial manner: 'Citizens, you will elect me. I will be your leader.' For the second attempt, they try to get Clinton to stop saying 'I' or her name, but she also fails immediately. 'Hello, 'tis I, Hillary Clinton,' she says. The two women are then joined by Bill Clinton (Darrel Hammond), who sneaks up behind his wife as she is filming. He says how grateful he is that camera phones did not exist when he was president - because he would probably be in jail if they were. The former president tells America in his wife's video: 'Hillary would make a great president. And I would make an even greater first dude.' From there they decide to make talk about how difficult the election will be, and the tough challenges Clinton will face from other Democrats. She starts talking about potential rival Martin O'Malley, the former Maryland governor, but the starts laughing, saying: 'He sounds like a Simpsons character.' Her husband makes a second appearance at this point with his saxophone, playing the theme tune to The Simpsons and revealing that he will be his wife's Vice President. He adds that when she dies it will be 'Bill Clinton 2: Bigger and blacker.' After trying to quiet her husband, Clinton gives in and says; 'Who are we kidding? Buckle up America, cause the Clintons are back.' She then goes over one more problem she has with her adviser - the fact she cannot be her own vice president. Bill Clinton was also featured in the skit, urging America to elect Hillary so he could be her vice president. He adds that he will make a great 'First Dude' Once she formally announces her campaign, Clinton, like all major presidential hopefuls, will no doubt be making an appearance on the show, which this week was hosted by Empire star Tarji P. Henson. However she has been targeted by Saturday Night Live many times before. Just four weeks ago she was skewered on opening sketch following revelations over her personal emails. At the beginning of a mock interview the politician describes herself as a 'relatable woman on a couch'. 'Those emails are as clean as a whistle. What did you think those emails said? 'Hey it's Hilary I really screwed up on Benghazi'.' Former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley took to Twitter on Sunday after the actress playing Clinton compared him to a 'Simpsons character' during the sketch . Referencing her probable run for president, she also insists: 'There will be no mistakes in my rise to the top.' Speaking about the release of the emails, following pressure from her opponents and the media, she says: 'Go ahead, read them, you won't find squat.' When she announces she will likely become the overwhelming favorite to win her party's nomination, with no stiff opponents expected to face her in the primaries. She will inevitably have a number of celebrity backers who will stage fundraisers for her in the coming months with reports suggesting she is looking to raise $1.1billion - double the amount Obama spent on his re-election campaign in 2012. Among them are high-profile Hollywood backers including director Steven Spielberg, and actors George Clooney, Barbra Streisand and Tom Hanks. The November 2016 election will emphasize her plans to address economic inequality and will tout the historic nature of her bid to become the first woman U.S. president, aides have said. 'Who are we kidding? Buckle up America, cause the Clintons are back,' says Hillary in the end of the skit . Clinton will also have to quell a controversy over her work use of a private email account while secretary of state, which Republicans have said is a sign of her penchant for secrecy. Clinton has said she used the single email account for convenience and should have used government email, but violated no rules. Clinton, who lost a heavyweight Democratic nominating battle to Barack Obama in 2008, will announce her campaign on video and social media, a Democrat familiar with her plans said. She will travel later in the week to Iowa, which holds the first nominating contest in early 2016. In a memo made public on Saturday, Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook told staff while the goal was for Clinton to win the presidency, the campaign was not about her. 'We are humble: we take nothing for granted, we are never afraid to lose, we always out-compete and fight for every vote we can win. We know this campaign will be won on the ground, in states,' he said in the campaign memo, titled 'We Are Hillary for America.' Many Democrats have eagerly awaited Sunday's announcement since the day in June 2008 when Clinton pulled out of her primary battle against Obama with an expression of regret that she could not crack 'that highest and hardest glass ceiling this time.' Opinion polls show Clinton has a huge lead over potential 2016 Democratic rivals, and few are expected to enter the race. A Reuters-Ipos tracking poll shows Clinton backed by more than 60 percent of Democrats. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a favorite of liberals but who says she is not running, is a distant second at 18 percent. So far, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and former U.S. Senator Jim Webb of Virginia, whose support languishes in single digits in polls, are the most prominent contenders to take steps toward challenging her. Republicans have been gearing up for the battle, and a big field of Republican presidential contenders is expected. Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky have been the first to formally enter the race, and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida will jump in on Monday. Clinton operatives have already begun reaching out to top bundlers to urge them to start calling people in their donor networks, a source familiar with the matter said. At least one West Coast bundler began making calls to top donors this past week, and will place another round of calls after the announcement Sunday, the source said. She also intends to sell herself as being able to work with Congress, businesses and world leaders. In New York on Saturday, at the final event put on by 'Ready for Hillary,' a group not connected with her campaign that's worked for the past few years to stoke excitement for it, enthusiastic supporters joined elected officials and local party leaders to celebrate the launch to come. 'After she left the State Department she could have slipped into grandmother-hood, but people want to call her back into public service,' said Jarret Berg, 29, a Democratic staffer in the New York legislature. 'It's time for her.' As her official announcement loomed, the Republican National Committee linked Clinton to Obama, a regular focus of criticism from the GOP. 'All Hillary Clinton is offering is a continuation of the same big government ideas that have grown Washington instead of the middle class,' RNC spokesman Michael Short said in a statement Saturday. 'That's why voters want fresh leadership and a new direction, not four more years of Obama's failed policies.' Clinton (pictured on UN Woman's day on March 10 addressing the email scandal) is expected to be the clear front runner from the Democratic nomination .

Sweet life: The Duchess of Cornwall . The Duchess of Cornwall has created a buzz with the launch of her own honey, produced in late spring by the bees in her Wiltshire garden. Just 250 jars are being produced, at £20 each, with all proceeds going to charity. But Camilla’s venture reflects a rocketing demand for gourmet honey. Sales of high-end versions are up by 45 per cent at Selfridges since last year. Does luxury honey really taste different enough from ordinary varieties to justify its price tag, though? And how does Camilla’s honey fare against some of its exclusive rivals — including her husband’s Duchy brand? We tested the best-selling gourmet honeys to find out... Duchess of Cornwall Honey . £20 for 227g, Fortnum & Mason . PROMISE: The Duchess’s late-spring honey is made from ‘delicately perfumed nectar with subtle hints of chamomile’ and billed as ‘the ideal accompaniment to ice cream on hot summer days, or for sweetening tea’. All proceeds go to the Medical Detection Dogs charity, of which the Duchess is patron. VERDICT: This tastefully packaged little jar, decorated with a pretty drawing of a pink flower and bee, has a handwritten number on the back. It contains a clear, golden, liquid honey, and when I open the jar a delicate smell of flowers greets my nostrils. When you ooze it over buttered bread, it’s impossible to stop eating. Delicate, delicious and the perfect gift for any honey-lover. A royal winner. 5/5 . Royal winner: Camilla’s honey is made from ‘delicately perfumed nectar with subtle hints of chamomile' Duchy Originals Scottish Heather Honey . £5.10 for 227g, Waitrose . PROMISE: Heathers growing on the Crown Estate in Balmoral produce the nectar for this honey. Beekeepers prize heather honey for its unique taste, and this is a combination of two types of heather, Bell and Ling. VERDICT: Open the jar and just smell the heather aroma before you taste this golden delight. Camilla may have set the bar high but Prince Charles’s answer is also rather beautiful and rare. It has a thick, velvety, sugary texture and a strong but fabulous taste. 3/5 . Duchy Originals Scottish Heather Honey has a thick, velvety, sugary texture and a strong but fabulous taste . Wedderspoon Gold Organic Rata Honey . £14.95 for 325g, wedderspoon.co.uk . PROMISE: Wild Rata trees grow on high land in New Zealand. They flower sporadically, so the nectar is extremely rare. The honey is kept at a low temperature — the same as that of a beehive — to preserve natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. VERDICT: Did you ever think honey could taste like a Christmas tree? Take one gulp of this delicious amber nectar and, seconds later, a subtle taste of pines will dance on your tongue. This creamy, firm-set honey scooped a place in the top 50 products (out of 10,000) in the ‘food Oscars’, the Great Taste Awards. Now I’ve tried it, that comes as no surprise. 4/5 . Wedderspoon Gold Organic Rata Honey scooped a place in the top 50 products in the ‘food Oscars’ Tregothnan Cornish Floral Manuka . £29.95 for 113g, tregothnan.co.uk . PROMISE: Although manuka is generally expensive, this is a more normal-tasting version and Britain’s costliest home-grown honey. Most manuka plants grow in New Zealand but bushes have been growing, hidden behind a garden wall, on the Tregothnan estate in Cornwall since 1880. Bees on the estate feast on these plants as well as on flowers in the deer park and gardens and produce honey in state-of-the-art, six-foot hives, which cost £5,000 each. There is only a limited supply made, hence the hefty price tag. VERDICT: This honey is so rare it is sold in very small jars, so every teaspoon is expensive. Yet it sells out fast each year and has a cult following among honey fans. The jar opens to reveal a light, cream-coloured honey with an almost-white crust. Dip your spoon in to discover solid, set honey which tastes like crystallised sugar. I used a small teaspoon on each dessert for a dinner party and my guests raved about it. A treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. 4/5 . Tregothnan Cornish Floral Manuka honey is so rare it is sold in very small jars, so every spoonful is pricey . Vasilissa Greek Honey with Edible Gold Leaf . £39.99 for 250g, selfridges.co.uk . PROMISE: Produced by hand on a small family farm on the island of Evia, this honey is trickled with 24-carat edible gold to make it the ultimate in food bling. The small gold flakes are added to honey made from thyme blossom, infusing it with the flavour of the herb. Greek honey is said to be among the best in the world, thanks to the aroma of mountain herbs and flowers, long sunny days and ancient, organic production methods. VERDICT: The shimmering flecks make this an indulgent gift for any honey-lover. It looks so good, I don’t know whether to open the jar or use it as a paperweight. The beautiful white packaging makes it feel extra-special, and when I unscrew the lid the deep aroma is like a glorious perfume. Inside is a smooth, dark-gold honey that tastes like treacle. The experts who hand-make it say the flavour changes subtly each year; they can recognise each one like wine experts identifying a vintage. Tasting this, I can see why they call honey the food of the gods. 5/5 . Vasilissa Greek Honey is trickled with 24-carat edible gold to make it the ultimate in food bling . Alemany Rosemary Honey . £7.95 for 500g, souschef.co.uk . PROMISE: This is made by a small producer in northern Spain, still using the same traditional methods after five generations. The nectar comes from rosemary bushes that grow at the foot of the Montsec mountains, and the resulting herb-infused honey has a high iron content. It is said to be particularly good for the digestion, and as an aid to relaxation. VERDICT: This is the honey equivalent of a soft-boiled egg. Dip your spoon in for oozing, runny honey in the middle, but enjoy the crunch of the pale, crystallised honey at the sides. It’s very mild — there is no strong aroma and the rosemary flavour is so delicate that you notice it only after several mouthfuls. It does gives a rather surprising aftertaste, though. This is my daughter Ruby’s favourite honey — she describes it as the best of both worlds, for its double consistency. 4/5 . Alemany Rosemary Honey uses nectar from rosemary bushes that grow at the foot of the Montsec mountains . Welsh Chunk Honeycomb Amphora . £21 for 908g, Fortnum & Mason . PROMISE: Clear Welsh honey with a gentle fruity flavour. The delicate honeycomb adds a crumbly texture. Gathered by bees from the wildflowers of meadows and hedgerows in mid-Wales. VERDICT: This looks impressive — a huge glass jar with golden, syrupy honey and a huge, striking honeycomb in the middle, sparkling like a jewel. The Fortnum & Mason label adds to the impression of real quality. What a disappointment, then, to bite into the honeycomb and find that it tastes of earwax. The chewy mass is like old gum. I spit it out — as does my honey-loving son Charlie, who says it tastes no different from the supermarket own-brand honey we usually buy. Proof that paying more doesn’t always guarantee a pot of gold. 1/5 . Heather Honeycomb Starflower Honey . £19.99 for 227g, selfridges.co.uk . PROMISE: The starflower is another name for the borage plant (which sounds much less exotic). But this herbal flower is rich in calcium, vitamin C and potassium. It is used to strengthen adrenal functions, and its oils are prescribed to treat skin diseases. This light and delicate honey comes from Hampshire, and includes heather honeycomb with a hint of herb flavour. VERDICT: You can’t see the chunky honeycomb until you open the lid, because the pale honey that surrounds it isn’t transparent. I’ve never liked the texture of honeycomb myself, but bite into this and breakfast will never be the same again. It crumbles delightfully in the mouth, while the light honey (not quite runny but not totally set) unleashes a real taste of the countryside. The jar, with its bright yellow ribbon and artisan label, gives this a real sense of occasion. 4/5 . Heather Honeycomb Starflower Honey crumbles delightfully in the mouth, while the light honey unleashes a real taste of the countryside . Chestnut Honey . £6.95 for 500g, souschef.co.uk . PROMISE: A dark, runny honey with a rich, nutty taste and smoky aromas. This is formed from the flowers of the chestnut tree, so it has a slightly bitter, savoury aftertaste. A favourite among chefs, who claim that it adds instant depth to dishes. VERDICT: After tasting so many sweet honeys, this one came as a total shock. A dark brown, treacle-tasting honey, it has a wonderful, unmistakable chestnut aroma. My children didn’t like it at all, but I teamed it with cheese and biscuits to serve after a dinner party and the combination was a winner. Perfect if you want something completely different. 3/5 . Chestnut Honey is a dark, runny honey with a rich, nutty taste and smoky aromas .

Lewis Hamilton has told Nico Rosberg he will do his talking 'on the track' as the two title contenders prepare to renew their rivalry in the desert. The Mercedes men left Shanghai after the Chinese Grand Prix arguing over the rights and wrongs of how they raced. But Hamilton, speaking ahead of Sunday's race in Bahrain, adopted an air of cool disdain for any psychological battles. 'It's not really changed much,' said the double world champion. 'I just do my talking on the track. That's how it's been since I was eight years old.' Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton insists that he will do his talking 'on the track' ahead of the race in Bahrain .

Police are believed to have identified one of the men behind the jewel heist in Hatton Garden, as it was revealed the gang could have been inspired by similar robberies in Los Angeles in the 1980s. Officers from Scotland Yard's Flying Squad released images of three suspects on Saturday, but refused to release a picture of the supposed ringleader, likely because he has already been identified. Meanwhile criminologist Richard Hoskins said he has identified 'startling similarities' between the Hatton Garden raid and novel Black Echo, by Michael Connelly. Scroll down for video . Police are believed to have identified one of the Hatton Garden raiders after releasing CCTV images of the gang as they raided the bank vault over the Easter bank holiday . Officers released images of three of the men, but refused to release an images of the supposed ringleader, which is believed to be because he has already been identified . The novel was based on real-life bank robbers dubbed 'The Hole In The Ground Gang' who struck three vaults in LA in 1986 and 1987, and were never caught. In the 1986 robbery, the gang tunneled into a bank vault over a long weekend, triggering alarms on the Friday that were not investigated, before raiding safety deposit boxes stored inside the vaults. It was not until the week following the raids that police were called and discovered the robbers had dug into the vault using heavy machinery, in very similar circumstances to the Hatton Garden raid. Criminologist Richard Hoskins noticed 'striking similarities' between the Hatton Garden raid and crime novel Black Echo, which itself is based on two jewel heists in LA in the 1980s . Mr Hoskins, who also wrote murder novel The Boy in the River, told MailOnline: 'There is obviously a lot we don't know about the Hatton Garden heist, but on the surface they look very similar. 'I think that when the raiders were planning their heist they must have read this book, or researched the robberies in LA. 'While the robbery is obviously terrible for the victims, I think everyone can agree that this was a very smart operation, and Black Echo sets out a very smart way to rob a vault. 'The timeline fits almost exactly, right down to the alarm being set off on a Friday and the break in being discovered on a Tuesday.' The Hole In The Ground Gang first struck in 1986, when they tunneled underneath a First Interstate Bank located along famous Sunset Boulevard near Hollywood, in LA. The gang, believed to number around four or five, made a hole in the wall of a storm drain underneath LA's streets, before tunneling 100ft through the dirt, emerging underneath the bank vault. They then used concrete drills and saws to cut a 20ft-by-25ft hole in the floor of the vault, before clambering through and ransacking the safety deposit boxes. In total they got away with $270,000 in cash, along with the contents of 36 deposit boxes, worth up to $2.5million. One box contained a sketch of a young girl by Henri Matisse. The crew had stashed quadbikes underground for a quick escape, but the raid was in fact not discovered until the start of the following week when staff arrived to find the vault ransacked. Police then discovered the tunnel, littered with 'an enormous number' of polystyrene coffee cups, and surmised that the raiders were probably sewer or construction workers who had decided to turn their skills to a sinister new use. Nobody was ever traced for the crime, and in 1987 the same group struck again, this time at a Bank of America in another LA neighbourhood. In both Hatton Garden and the LA raids, the gangs bored into vaults using heavy drills (pictured), broke in over a long weekend, set off an alarm on the Friday that wasn't checked out, and raided safety deposit boxes . The LA raiders became known as the Hole In The Ground Gang, and Mr Hoskins believes the group who raided Hatton Garden (picutred) must have known about them, or read the book inspired by them . Again, the group had used heavy tools to cut their way into a bank vault over the course of a weekend, and again they had set off an alarm on their way in. However, on this occasion police did respond, and they were forced to flee with just $89,000 and without cracking a single safety deposit box. It was only afterwards the officers discovered another tunnel underneath Union Federal Savings and Loan in Beverly Hills, suggesting the gang were attempting to hit two vaults at once. Mr Connelly told The Times: 'The Black Echo was a fictionalised account of a bank heist that occurred in LA in September 1987. It was never solved.' In the Hatton Garden raid, the Met Police have said the raiders broke into the building on the second floor, disabling the lift before lowering themselves down the shaft and breaking into the basement. The men then climbed back up to the ground floor to let other gang members in through a side entrance, before all making their way to the vaults where they drilled their way inside. The raiders then broke into 72 safety deposit boxes, before making their getaway in a white Ford Transit van parked outside. The diamond-tipped drills were taken from a building site in Fetter Lane, an eight minute walk from Hatton Garden, and nobody was ever arrested. Police are probing the thefts of several drills in the months before the raid, including two Hilti drills that were taken near Hatton Garden. DCI Paul Johnson (pictured) has previously said Hilti drills were used in the raid . City of London Police also confirmed today that they have passed information to Scotland Yard about the theft of two Hilti drills, the same devices used in the Hatton Garden raid, in December last year. In another development, The Sun has revealed that £80,000 worth of diamond tipped drills were stolen from another site in South London in November, using a van similar to that at Hatton Garden. Andrew Royce, of Elmcrest Diamond Drilling, revealed that the equipment could easily be used to cut into a vault, as his firm is often tasked with converting former banks into hotels and housing. CCTV from the scene reveals that a white Transit Van parked outside his business for two minutes in November last year before two hooded men are seen walking past .

A Russian nuclear submarine that caught fire in a shipyard was submerged to extinguish the blaze yesterday. The emergency move came after premature reports that the flames had been put out. Defence sources said the submarine's weapons and critical elements of its nuclear reactor had been removed before the fire broke out. Scroll down for video . Smoke: The submarine that caught fire in a shipyard was submerged to extinguish the blaze yesterday . Defence sources said the submarine's weapons and critical elements of its nuclear reactor had been removed before the fire broke out . The 500ft-long Oryol was in dock at Zvezdochka shipyard in Severodvinsk, 620 miles north of Moscow, on the White Sea. The submarine's dry dock was filled with water to put out the fire - a move taken after news agencies carried reports saying the emergency was already over. 'Preparation for filling the dry dock with water is underway,' said spokesman Ilya Zhitomirsky. 'The operation is necessary to extinguish the fire completely.' Filling the hull with foam to stop the flames spreading was 'not yielding results,' said a source. 'No workers or members of the crew were harmed during the fire,' said Zhitomirsky. A source told TASS news agency the submarine's nuclear reactor had been shut down prior to the blaze. 'The active zone of the reactor was unloaded at the start of repairs a few years ago,' the source said. Emergency: A submarine undergoes repairs at Zvezdochka shipyard in Severodvinsk in 2012.

The news agency reports said the fire had started during welding, causing insulation materials to catch fire. A similar blaze in 2011 nearly led to a nuclear disaster when a blaze engulfed a nuclear-powered submarine carrying atomic weapons. A leading Russian magazine reported the threat months after the blaze, contradicting official assurances that it was not armed. The Oscar II-class submarine is capable of carrying nuclear-tipped cruise and anti-submarine missiles.

South Korea's Kim Sei-young spectacularly eagled the par-five 18th to surge into a two-shot lead in the second round of the ANA Inspiration on Friday as Lydia Ko's record-equalling run came to an end. The 22-year-old Kim, who won her maiden LPGA Tour title at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic in February, struck a superb second shot to six feet on her final hole and knocked in the putt to card a seven-under-par 65 at Mission Hills Country Club. That left the Korean at seven-under 137 in the first women's major of the season, two ahead of overnight leader Morgan Pressel, who followed her opening 67 with a 72. Lydia Ko looks for her ball in the water on the 18th hole during the second round . Long-hitting American Brittany Lincicome, the 2009 champion at Mission Hills, fired a 68 to finish at four under, level with Korean Jenny Shin (69) and Scotland's Catriona Matthew (69). Kim, who had returned a 72 in the first round, birdied four of her first nine holes to claw her way up the leaderboard. She picked up further shots at the 11th and 15th before making her only bogey of the day at the 16th, then ended her round in eagle style. 'I really hit the ball good and putted really good,' said Kim, who is playing in only her third major championship. 'I'm very happy. 'Yesterday I adjust a little bit my putting ... now I see the line better.' Ko missed out on recording her 30th successive under-par round . Pressel, who at 18 became the youngest winner of a women's major at the 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship held at Mission Hills, was a frustrated figure after shooting a level-par 72. 'I had to fight a little bit harder today,' said the 26-year-old American. 'My swing wasn't quite as sharp as it was yesterday. I made some sloppy bogeys and some really good pars. But I give myself a chance for the weekend.' Ko's record-equalling run of 29 consecutive rounds under par on the LPGA Tour came to end when the world No 1 bogeyed two of her last four holes for a 73 and a level-par total of 144. The 17-year-old, who has already won six LPGA titles, had a chance to dip under par after hitting a perfect tee shot down the 18th but her attempt to lay up with a six-iron failed as her ball ran through the fairway into a pond in front of the green. Sei Young Kim of South Korea has a two-shot lead at the halfway point . Penalised a stroke, she hit her fourth shot to 12 feet above the hole from where she two-putted for a bogey six. 'It was 169 (yards) to the end of the fairway and it was still 20 yards after that with the rough so I thought a six-iron would be okay, even it flew out of there,' Ko told Golf Channel. 'Obviously it wasn't the right club. I would love to have had a birdie opportunity there.' However, Ko was happy enough to have matched Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam's record run of 29 consecutive sub-par rounds. 'You just go out there, try and have fun, try to shoot the lowest you can,' said the pony-tailed New Zealander. 'Now it's over but 29 is not too bad.'

Lydia Ko is seven shots behind leader Kim Sei-young . Ko had been aiming for a 30th consecutive under-par round . But the world No 1 could only finish on one-over par .

The boy dubbed China's 'miracle baby' after he was born the moment his mother was killed in a horrific car crash has just celebrated his first birthday. Zhao Pingan's mother was in labour when she and her husband were hit by a truck as they travelled on a motorbike to a hospital in Xiamen city, in south-eastern China's Fujian province. Both of his parents were killed in the accident, but not before the mother gave birth at the scene last March, reports The People's Daily. Pingan Zhao (pictured) was named China's 'miracle baby' after he was born as his mother died in a crash . Chinese media reported at the time that the baby boy had been 'catapulted' from his mother's womb' as the truck ran over her, ending up ten feet away from her. This unbelievable story of his birth led to him becoming something of a local celebrity and hailed as a 'miracle baby'. The baby was given the name Zhao Pingan which means 'safe and sound' in Chinese. Pingan was then adopted by his uncle Zhao Yanchao and his grandmother Xiao Kaixing. On Saturday, Pingan celebrated his first birthday publicly - about a month after his real birthday of March 18 - in his hometown Xiamen, surrounded by family members and the volunteers and doctors who treated him at the time. Uncle Yanchao said: 'I lost my older brother to an absolute tragedy, now I have a duty to see him live on in Pingan. Chinese media reported that the baby boy had been 'catapulted' from his mother's womb (left) when the truck ran over her, ending up ten feet away from her. Pingan (right) celebrates his first birthday with his family . Pimgan was dubbed China's 'miracle baby' by local media after his miraculous start in life (pictured) 'He already has his eyes and his mother's smile. I shall love and treasure him as I know they would have done.' To celebrate his birthday his aunt, Ms Zhang, in keeping with Pingan's native Sichuan tradition, gave some items for the little boy to 'hold on to' to determine his future. He immediately took a calculator, pen and an apple. 'These three items indicates Pingan will safely proceed with his studies and he will have a deep interest in learning.' said a smiling Ms Zhang. When Pingan was seven months old he was taken Beijing's Tiantan Hospital Neurosurgery department to have an operation to drain the build-up of water in his head. A doctor said because of Pingan's injuries his development may be a bit behind his peers, especially in his speech and ability to walk. Pingan enjoys a piece of cake as he celebrates his first birthday one year on from the horror crash . But despite his difficult start in life Pingan has developed into a happy and smiling little boy. Now Pingan's uncle and aunty are preparing to move and work away from home in order to bring in more money as they are concerned about the ongoing treatment he will need. 'Pingan may still need further operations,' said his uncle Zhao Yanchao. Baby Pingan suffered from minor bruises and scratches when he was found at the scene of the accident last year. Police spokesman Chan Chien said at the time: 'Eye witnesses said that when the woman was hit by the truck she gave birth on the spot. ' Pingan is a happy little boy - but his family are concerned he could require further hospital treatment for the injuries he received in the crash . 'Others said that the baby which was a healthy 4.2 kg had been thrown out of the woman's belly and had landed three meters away.' Police confirmed soon after the accident that they had arrested a 45-year-old truck driver who had apparently turned into the road just as the motorbike was coming along. A spokesman from Beiiing Tian Tan Hospital said shortly after the accident: 'The baby has had an MRI scan because he is suffering from hydrocephalus, water on the brain, which was caused by the accident. 'He will need to undergo more surgery although we do not think his condition is serious. 'He truly is a miracle baby.' Xiamen City Hospital Paediatrician Dr Fang Mei, who treated Pingan at the time, said on Saturday: 'When he first arrived he was covered in dirt with cuts to his head.' 'Weighing over 9lb the baby boy still had his umbilical cord and placenta attached to him when he arrived at the hospital.' Dr Fang said that as Pingan had hit the floor quite hard he had sustained some nerve damage to his fragile body. She said: 'None of the medical staff had seen how Pingan was pushed out of his mother's body and we wonder how it could have been possible - but the fact that he survived is something of a miracle.' Pingan's plight moved the nation and volunteers and charities flocked to offer their time and help with his recovery. Two branches of the Red Cross in Xiamen City set up a '3.18 Hai Cang Miracle Baby Fund' and were able to find 50 'Loving Mummies' to provide him with round the clock care and attention. The head of a local charity volunteer group, Ms Li, said they set up a call to action movement to help the miracle baby and were 'overwhelmed' by the response. Nappies, toys, as well as expertise and time were all donated to Pingan. The baby poses with some of the hospital staff and volunteers who helped care for him following the crash . Pingan is pictured with his uncle on his first birthday - his uncle is now planning to move away in order to earn enough money to look after the baby and pay for any further medical treatment he may need .

A husband accused of trying to murder his cheating wife wrote her an extraordinary letter while remanded in prison asking her to send him a suit for his trial, a court heard yesterday. Joseph O'Riordan, 73, stabbed his 47-year-old wife Amanda eight times after he discovered she had been having an affair with a postman. She was left with life-threatening injuries to her torso, chest, arms and back. Joseph O'Riordan stabbed his wife of ten years Amanda (left) with a seven inch kitchen knife eight times . O'Riordan, who was a councillor at the time, rang an ambulance after the attack in October last year and admitted what he had done during the 999 call. Yesterday it emerged that four months later, while on remand, O'Riordan wrote to his wife from jail asking her to 'get my things together' before for his trial. Meanwhile Mrs O'Riordan, during questioning by her husband's defence team in court yesterday, sobbed: 'I did not want to hurt Joe. I never wanted to hurt him… even now. All of this is my fault because I had an affair.' In the letter, which was posted from prison on February 4 this year, O'Riordan asked his wife to gather some of his belongings and give them to his son, including a 'decent jumper' and his 'beige casual jacket'. He also asked for his 'blue suit' and 'three ties that will go with the suit', which he said he needed for the trial. His letter went on: 'You will be fully aware that I cannot make any mention of the case. 'I hope and pray that your recovery continues to progress and you will always remain in my heart – God bless, Joe.' O'Riordan sobbed as the letter was read out at Brighton Crown Court yesterday. His wife also broke down in the witness box as she gave evidence from behind a screen. The case was adjourned for 90 minutes to give Mrs O'Riordan time to regain her composure. Prosecutor Dale Sullivan asked if she had been expecting the letter and she replied: 'No – I wasn't expecting anything from him.' Earlier, video footage of a pre-recorded police interview with Mrs O'Riordan was played to the court, in which she described her husband as 'passionate and vocally volatile' but said he had never 'laid a finger on her before.' She said she thought he might have suffered from 'mild depression' because he could be 'up one minute and down the next'. During later questioning by O'Riordan's defence counsel Peter Doyle QC, she said she and her husband were 'soulmates'. The couple, from Polegate, East Sussex, met in 1991 and had been married for ten years at the time of the attack, the court heard. Brighton Magistrates' Court heard that four months after attack, while on remand, O'Riordan wrote to his wife from jail asking her to 'get my things together' before for his trial . But Mrs O'Riordan said that last year she felt 'smothered' by her husband and wanted 'more me time.' This was the 'trigger' for her brief affair with postman Nicholas Gunn, who has since moved away from the area. 'It was not something I had ever done before,' she told the court. O'Riordan found out about the affair after hiring a private detective to follow her. He had also asked his friends to watch her. The jury heard that a row had developed between the pair on October 22 while they were visiting Mrs O'Riordan's mother after O'Riordan received a phone call, believed to be from Mr Gunn. Mrs O'Riordan said they then went to a KFC restaurant and in the car on the way home her husband became angry and she tried to get out, but was 'dragged' back and held down. Once the couple were home, she said her husband came into their bedroom brandishing a kitchen knife as he cried: 'You have made me do this. This is all your fault.' Mrs O'Riordan also said that just days before the assault her husband had talked of 'finishing her off and then himself'. She added: 'I just thought that was talk as it was not said in anger. I never read anything into it. It was not said with malice but it was said maybe a week before he attacked me.' O'Riordan was sitting on Polegate Town Council, East Sussex, at the time. He was also president of his local Royal British Legion and was invited to the Queen's garden party in 2013 for helping to arrange parts of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations. O'Riordan has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder. The trial continues. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

A year after he launched his own app and made headlines, Leo Grand is still homeless . On the night he launched his first app, a homeless man predicted that his life was going to change. 'I can work at Google, I can work at SpaceX,' Leo Grand gleefully stated minutes after his carpooling app Trees for Cars went live. 'This will change my life in a magnificent way.' It's been a year and a half since that moment led to Grand and his mentor, Patrick McConlogue, becoming media sensations. But Trees for Cars is no longer available, and Grand is still homeless, Mashable reported. In August 2013 McConlogue offered Grand, the homeless man he saw every day on his walk to work in New York City, a deal: He would either give him $100, or he would teach him how to code. Grand realized he could go through '$100 in a few days' and instead jumped at the opportunity to learn something new that he could then 'turn into something more,' he told Business Insider in 2013. McConlogue provided Grand with daily lessons, as well as a laptop, wireless hot spot, coding books, a solar charger and office space at the start-up where he worked once it got too cold to type outside. Grand, who once said he wasn't 'the average homeless person' and that he considered himself 'eco-friendly', came up with an app designed to get more cars off the road. 'When I first launched my app it was good,' Grand told Mashable this week. 'I was excited, the press was excited, it was just a great moment.' Grand and McConlogue appeared on TV shows, and he says people loved him everywhere and gave him free coffee at restaurants. Being on NBC, he said, was the highlight of his year. 'We got to stay in a nice hotel at Rockefeller Plaza. A nice, swanky hotel. We got the red carpet rolled out in front of us!' he said. But Grand is still living on the streets, and he said the number one question people ask him is why he's still homeless. Grand created Trees and Cars after Patrick McConlogue offered him a deal: $100 in cash on the spot or daily coding lessons. Grand picked the latter, and was also provided a laptop, office space and coding books . But Grand is still living on the streets. He said the number one question people ask him is why he's still homeless . Trees for Cars only made Grand between $10,000 to 15,000 dollars, he said. And McConlogue has since taken a job in San Francisco, although he still meets up with Grand every time he's back in New York. The app is no longer in online stores because Grand does not want to pay for its server space. Grand instead uses the money he made from the app to pay for his storage space. He also keeps some possessions in a shopping cart. He insists that he likes living outdoors, although he said he plans to move into an apartment after he makes his second app. Grand said if he could do it all over again, he would have made a different app the first time around. 'I would've probably come up with a better idea for a mobile application that can generate a ton of revenue,' he told Mashable. For now, Grand said he does not code everyday anymore. He said 'life' is the reason for that. 'I've got the books, I've got the laptop, I've got the office space. I just haven't been able to get over there recently.' Grand, who gets by with welding jobs and worked for MetLife until he lost his job in 2011, once said the most hurtful thing someone could say to him was that he was dumb or not intelligent. 'Homelessness is not a feature of someone or a condition,' McConlogue said. 'It is something that people put a lot of people - in a lot of different situations - into one giant box.' Grand said if he could do it all over again, he would have 'come up with a better ideal' that would have generated more revenue. He said he only made around $10-15,000 with Trees for Cars .

Leo Grand was offered a deal: either $100 or lessons in coding from Patrick McConlogue, who passed him on the street every day . After daily coding lessons Grand launched carpooling app Trees for Cars . Grand said he made $15,000 from the app, which is no longer in stores because he does not want to pay for the server space . He said he hasn't found the time to code every day anymore . Grand insists he likes living outdoors, but said he should have come up with an idea that made more money .

This is the comical moment a delirious wisdom tooth patient refuses milkshake in fear that it could - in singer Kelis' words - 'bring all the boys to her yard'. Faith Myers, 14, from Nebraska, was filmed by her mother as she woke in bed still 'high' from the procedure's anesthesia. Footage shows her being quizzed about what she would like to eat, with the thought of a shake clearly filling her with dread. 'I don't want all the boys in my yard,' she immediately chimes through a mouthful of blood-stained tissues. 'You don't want any boys in your yard? Will your milkshake bring all the boys to the yard?' her amused mother responds. 'Yeah, I don't want them here,' Faith confirms with a look of fear on her face. The teen's mood then takes a more sinister turn as she declares that she will 'bring out a shotgun' if any boys come into her yard. 'Bang, bang!' she exclaims, with a look of glee in her eyes.

'We'll save milkshakes for another day,' she adds in a bid to reduce volume levels. After sausages are also given a thumbs down, Faith and her mother finally settle on Jell-O. As the conversation continues, the dentist patient appears equally distressed about other far-fetched scenarios. At one point she fears that she might be dying and later complains about having holes in her head.

The study also revealed the biggest fashion faux pas once over the age of 30 - hot pants were voted number one for women and ponytails for men. Other no-no's past the age of 30 were mini-skirts and boob tubes for girls and skinny jeans and football shirts for men. But it's not all bad news as 37 was voted as the most stylish age for men and it was age 36 for women. The royal family got a good show - Princess Diana came second, Kate Middleton came fourth and Queen Elizabeth I came sixth . David Bowie came number eight on the poll, while Twiggy came fifth . The lucky celebrities currently at the height of their fashion peak include TV presenter and model Myleene Klass, Gone Girl actress and recent Oscar nominee Rosamund Pike. For the men, one of the UK's biggest rising acting stars Tom Hardy. The survey also showed that nearly one in five would scrap a potential second date with someone they did not think was stylish. It also pays to look good when trying to influence people -  nearly half of those questioned said they agreed that stylish people seem more powerful or authoritative. Women:                                                            Men: . 1. Hot Pants - 31%                                           1. Ponytails - 34% . 2. Mini Skirts – 25%                                         2. Baggy, worn below the waist jeans – 23% . 3. Tube tops – 20%                                         3. Dropped crotch trousers – 22% . 4. Leopard print – 11%                                    4. Skinny jeans – 17% . 5. Crop tops – 10%                                          5. Football shirts – 11% .

David Beckham has come third in a poll of most stylish Brits . Audrey Hepburn scooped the top prize and Princess Diana came second . Bizarrely, Queen Elizabeth I featured at number six .

(CNN)You know the phrase "dodging a bullet"? Forget about it. Probably not going to happen anymore. The U.S. military said this week it has made great progress in its effort to develop a self-steering bullet. In February, the "smart bullets" -- .50-caliber projectiles equipped with optical sensors -- passed their most successful round of live-fire tests to date, according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. In the tests, an experienced marksman "repeatedly hit moving and evading targets," a DARPA statement said. "Additionally," the statement said, "a novice shooter using the system for the first time hit a moving target." In other words, now you don't even have to be a good shot to hit the mark. The system has been developed by DARPA's Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance program, known as EXACTO. "True to DARPA's mission, EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target," said Jerome Dunn, DARPA program manager. "This live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds. Fitting EXACTO's guidance capabilities into a small .50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers," Dunn said. Videos supplied by DARPA show the bullets making sharp turns in midair as they pursue their targets. It all conjures up images of a cartoon character frantically fleeing a bullet that follows him wherever he goes. Only, these bullets are traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. And even the Road Runner can't run that fast. DARPA says the smart bullets will also help shooters who are trying, for example, to hit targets in high winds. The goals of the EXACTO program are giving shooters accuracy at greater distances, engaging targets sooner and enhancing the safety of American troops, DARPA said.

.50-caliber bullets equipped with optical sensors can follow moving targets . The "smart bullets" can help shooters compensate for high winds . The goal of the program is to give shooters greater range and make American troops safer .

An Air Force veteran and former Playboy model was arrested for taking an American flag from campus protesters who were trampling on it. Michelle Manhart, 38, was handcuffed by police at Valdosta State University, Georgia, and driven off in a patrol car after grabbing the Stars and Stripes and refusing to return it to the student demonstrators. Video footage of the event, on Friday, shows Manhart struggling with officers, who force her to the ground after she refuses to let the flag go. Scroll down for video . Struggle: Manhart, 38, is shown, left, refusing to release a flag which protesters were trampling on. In the right-hand photograph she is seen being arrested at Valdosta State University in Georgia . Cause: Manhart came to the campus because she heard students were walking on the flag, as seen above . It shows her surrounded by protesters on the campus, who demand their property be returned. In response, Manhart says the flag belongs to 'the entire United States'. Campus police try to convince her to drop the flag, but Manhart, a former training sergeant who served in Kuwait, refuses. Speaking to the Valdosta Daily Times about her intervention, she said: 'I did not want anything like this, but I got a call from a student who told me that the flag was on the ground, and they were walking on it. 'I was just going over there to pick up the flag off the ground. I don’t know what their cause is, but I went to pick it up because it doesn’t deserve to be on the ground.' She continued: 'If your cause is racism then find some white people and walk on them. 'But to walk on the flag is walking on our symbol of freedom. You have the freedom to do what you are doing because of it. I’m not fighting against them. I’m fighting against the way they are going about it.' It is not clear what the demonstrators were rallying against. They did not answer reporters' questions about what their cause was. Air Force to bare force: Manhart was once a Staff Sergeant at the San Antonio Air Force training camp (right), but was demoted when she appeared nude in Playboy magazine. She is shown left holding a copy of the issue containing her spread . According to the Daily Times, the group didn't want to press charges against Manhart. However, police gave her a trespass warning, which bans her from the campus. Manhart has come under fire for standing up for her beliefs before. In 2007 she made national headlines - and lost her job - for posing nude for Playboy magazine. Explicit photographs from the periodical's February 2007 issue show then-Sergeant Manhart in a variety of provocative poses - first with, then later without - her military uniform. Cover girl: After her original feature, Manhart appeared in Playboy again. She is shown here on the cover of the Mexican edition . When Air Force bosses got wind of the racy feature, they relieved her of her duties at the Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. She was later demoted, and ultimately left the Air Force. However, she remained defiant, telling reporters at the time 'I didn't do anything wrong, so I didn't think it would be a major issue'. The decision brought an end to 14 years of service . She later appeared in other editions of Playboy - including the cover of the Mexican edition -  and posed for animal rights group Peta to support an anti-fur campaign. The Daily Times reported that Manhart now intends to hold a pro-military counter-demonstration in the town on Wednesday. In response to the incident, the university's president says he disapproves of the flag-trampling protest, but recognizes their right to express themselves that way if they choose. Dr William McKinney said: 'The American flag represents everything that is best about our country. As the Supreme Court has held, one of those things is the right to free speech, which includes the right to disrespect even the symbol of our country. 'While I firmly disagree with the actions of the protesters, I understand their right to protest.'

Peerless champion jockey AP McCoy described the final day of his record-breaking career as ‘the hardest day’ of his life as he left Sandown on Saturday night and headed into retirement. And he also predicted someone will ultimately break his multitude of records. McCoy said: ‘Someone will break my records. All records are broken. I just hope I am dead when they do.’ McCoy, the iron-man of jump racing, shed tears as he paraded in front of the grandstand after finishing third on Box Office in the Bet365 Handicap Hurdle, his last-ever ride.

An emotional McCoy couldn't contain his emotions as he waved to the crowd after his last race . After finishing third on Box Office in last-ever race, McCoy was reduced to tears at Sandown Park . The retiring jocket was overcome with emotion after coming third on Box Office . McCoy had much to celebrate on Saturday despite his third-place finish in the bet365 Handicap Hurdle . Princess Anne, a renown horseman herself, told the Racing Post newspaper: 'I can only add my admiration to the epitome of a professional sportsman. Admiration that is heightened by my own, all too brief, experience of National Hunt Racing. 'To win 20 championships is an exceptional achievement, perhaps unmatched in any other sporting discipline, and he has done it in a tough, exhilarating and often dangerous sport. He has been a credit to horseracing and he goes out still at the top of his profession.' Arsene Wenger, manager of McCoy's beloved Arsenal, told Channel Four's The Morning Line: 'I would like to congratulate you for your outstanding career. It's absolutely exceptional what you have done. At Arsenal, we are inspired by that kind of dedication and quality and consistency you have shown in your career.' Sebastian Coe, double Olympic champion and organiser of the 2012 Olympics, said: 'Great is an overused word in sport - get a couple of England caps and you're suddenly a great player. Genius is probably a word less used but I think A.P McCoy is both. 'The guy is a genius in the saddle. It's just an extraordinary period of time that he has spanned - John Major still had two more years to run as Prime Minister! Put it in that context, you tell me anybody or anything that has maintained that level of market dominance. I think he's unique.' Steve Redgrave, Britain's greatest Olympian, summed it up. 'A.P has touched all our hearts. Truly a great to be remembered.' The race was ironically won by Brother Tedd, ridden by McCoy’s great rival and 15-time runner-up in the jockeys’ championship, Richard Johnson. McCoy had earlier also finished third on Mr Mole in the Celebration Chase named in his honour and won by Irish-trained favourite Special Tiara. The 20-time champion jockey said: ‘When I went back in front of the stands and heard all the people clapping, there was a lot of emotion. I was trying my hardest but there were tears coming back on Box Office. There were nearly tears going out on Box Office. I pulled my goggles down so no one would notice. ‘It was a very emotional day, something I will never forget and never expected. ‘The people have come out and supported me and I feel very honoured and very privileged. ‘In a lot of ways it had to be this way because if it wasn’t difficult it meant I wasn’t as good as I was and wasn’t enjoying my riding as much as I was. There was always a huge fear that I would not get out while I was as good as I was. As a sports person that is a very difficult thing to do before the dip comes.’ A sell-out crowd of 18,300 flocked to see McCoy’s career as a professional jump jockey in Britain end after 21 years. He was presented with his final champion’s trophy by Arsenal legend Ian Wright before riding Mr Mole and McCoy’s weighing room colleagues had formed a guard of honour as he entered the paddock for the presentation. McCoy’s final winner — the 4,348th of his career — will go down as Capard King at Ayr on April 17. Great rival Johnson completed a double by also winning the Oaksey Chase on Menorah.

And, as if to emphasise McCoy’s assertion that his records would be beaten, there was also a double for the new star of jump racing, 17-year-old Sean Bowen. The wins enabled the Welsh teenager to become the youngest winner of the conditional jockeys’ title. McCoy, who will attend part of next week’s Punchestown Festival as well as a wedding next weekend, was 19 when he won the same title. Bowen’s success on 14-1 shot Just A Par was the culmination of a fantastic first season which has yielded 49 wins. He has the same agent as McCoy in Dave Roberts, who said: ‘What he is doing is freaky. There is no other word for it. We want to keep his feet on the ground but he has some talent.’ McCoy, 40, who announced his intention to retire in February, had turned down the opportunity to take more rides on his final day as well as not riding the week before. It was his way of easing himself out of the sport he loves. The jockey also received a special award from Sandown presented by former Arsenal and Ireland star Liam Brady, who was McCoy’s childhood hero. ‘Race riding has been an addiction,’ added McCoy. ‘The reason I have not been riding as much was because I wanted to get myself prepared.

Lada Niva 4x4 £13,395 on the road . As a result of the Land Rover Defender's demise, there could be a boom in sales of a Russian badge which was a butt of many jokes in the Soviet era – the Lada. Lada's 4x4 Niva has long been the car that bucked the trend of laughing at the Russian carmaker and has won fans around the world thanks to its robust nature and chunky looks. We take a look. The Niva (pictured) is a highly capable, ruftytufty 4x4 from Russia — for a fraction of the price of a new Land Rover and it is also available in a compact van format (£10,590, excluding VAT and road tax) GOOD . Forget luxuries because the Niva is an unabashed frills-free zone, the upside of its simplicity is that the plastic interior (pictured) is easy to mop down after a day in the mud . BAD . Patriotic Russian President Vladimir Putin (pictured) drove a Lada Niva back in 2009 — but fitted it with a German engine .

This 4x4 from Russia is a fraction of the price of a new Land Rover . Off-road, the Niva is in its element, with low and highrange gears . But, forget luxuries because the Niva is an unabashed frills-free zone . A highly capable, ruftytufty 4x4 from Russia — for a fraction of the price of a new Land Rover. It's a confident charmer that stands out from the crowd, with high suspension, pressed steel wheels, Soviet-style looks and real rarity value. Expect to get gawped at: someone offered to buy mine on its second trip out. Always fun. Now available in the UK from Niva imports through its dealer, BB Motors, in Corby, Northamptonshire (01536 202207, lada4x4.co.uk). On the road, the basic 1.7-litre petrol engine (your only option) is deafeningly noisy, but tolerably smooth. Power steering, manageable dimensions and a tight turning circle make it reasonably practical for the supermarket or school run. The seats are comfy and thanks to a high driving position and large wing mirrors, all-round visibility is good. Top speed is 91 mph. Off-road, the Niva is in its element, with low and highrange gears, differential lock and a sturdy monocoque construction. It is lighter and more sprightly in the mud than many big-name utility 4x4s, with 220mm ground clearance, a 600mm wading depth and a climbing ability of up to 58 per cent. Tall, slender tyres give it an added advantage when things get mucky. You won't have to agonise over pages of extras... they're more or less nonexistent. This is a very basic utility vehicle, after all. Choose in white, blue, green or red, then decide whether you'd like the snorkel or snow plough (really) attachments. An LPG option is available for an extra £999 — but you lose boot space. Reasonable fuel economy at 33mpg and affordable to insure — once you've explained exactly what it is. Meets Euro 5 emissions standards. The heated blower, presumably designed with Siberia in mind, has plenty of muscle for icy winter mornings. Also available in a compact van format (£10,590, excluding VAT and road tax). Spartan on the inside. Forget luxuries such as radios, cup-holders, central locking and electric windows — the Niva is an unabashed frills-free zone. The upside of its simplicity is that the plastic interior is easy to mop down after a day in the mud, and there's not much to break or go wrong. There are only four seatbelts and a slightly pokey boot. Don't trust the petrol gauge, which regularly aims to deceive. No warranty is offered as standard — although a two-year plan is coming soon — and spares may need to be imported (BB Motors will assist). Only available in lefthand drive — unless you put in an order for more than 500 of them! Shhhh! You didn't hear it from me. But patriotic Russian President Vladimir Putin made a big play of driving a Lada Niva back in 2009 — but fitted it with a German engine.

Jordan Spieth's first outing after winning the Masters did not go according to plan as he finished the first round of the RBC Heritage on three over par. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a whirlwind few days since dominating in Augusta to win by four shots from Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, but that rollercoaster ride interrupted his preparations here as he did not play a practice round and he looked tired as he struggled in difficult conditions in South Carolina. Jordan Spieth looked tired as he struggled in difficult conditions in South Carolina . In cold temperatures and with strong northerly winds, Spieth three-putted the sixth to drop his first shot of the day and looked lethargic as he missed birdie opportunities on the ninth and 10th greens. He dropped another shot on the 11th and on the par-three 14th he sent his tee shot straight into the water, setting up a double bogey that put him four over par. He pulled one back with a birdie on the par-five 15th, but nevertheless finished well off the pace with three-over 74 even as the conditions kept the scoring under control. The Masters champion finished well off the pace by carding a three-over-par 74 . After his round, Spieth told Sky Sports 4 he had no idea how many interviews and appearances he has made since Sunday. 'I've lost track,' he said. 'Just getting to experience all these incredible things, whether it's a business interview, a sports interview, appearing on Letterman (The David Letterman Show), meeting President Clinton, a lot took place and it's almost sad to leave. 'There were so many great experiences you'd like to have each of those each day, to have them all in one is almost a shame, but it's good sharing my story, sharing our story, getting our brand out there.' Spieth admitted lack of preparation affected his first round in South Carolina . Unless he has something very special up his sleeve for Friday, Spieth appears set for a much-needed weekend off. Matt Every and Graeme McDowell shared the lead on five under after the first round at Hilton Head. In difficult conditions, with strong winds and a distinct chill in South Carolina, birdies were hard to come by but Every carded six before a bogey on the 18th, while McDowell matched him only in reverse after bogeying the first. Given the way the course was playing, staying at the top of the leaderboard was as much about survival as anything. 'I was greasy today,' Every said on the PGA Tour website. 'It wasn't my best ball striking, it wasn't easy out there, but I got the best out of it. Graeme McDowell shared the lead on five under with Matt Every after the first round . 'It was blowing. Back in the trees, when it's coming from the north and banking off the trees going the other way, it's dicey, but for the most part I did a good job.' Sangmoon Bae is alone in third place, one shot back, ahead of a five-way tie for fourth which includes Kevin Kisner, Scott Langley, Morgan Hoffman, Matt Kuchar and Cameron Smith. Smith could have been much better placed but for a bogey on the third and a double bogey on the seventh, where his tee shot put him in the trees and he faced a long road back. He had earlier carded five birdies in six holes between the second and seventh holes.

Jordan Spieth struggled on his return to action following Augusta triumph . The 21-year-old carded three-over-par 74 in first round at the RBC Heritage . He finished eight shots behind leaders Matt Every and Graeme McDowell .

Things haven't been going well for Manchester United flop Anderson since he left Old Trafford to return to Brazil, but at least on Wednesday his own errors were outshone by the stupidity of a team-mate. The Brazilian midfielder was sent off for Internacional after a first-half off-the-ball shove on Ypiranga Erechim striker Otacilio Neto that also saw his opponent sent off for retaliating with an elbow. But fortunately for Anderson, his colleague Fabricio stole the limelight by swearing at his own fans and becoming the third player to be shown the red card, reducing Internacional to nine men in the 1-1 draw in Porto Alegre. Former Manchester United midfielder Anderson shoved Otacilio Neto off the ball to earn a red card . Neto also saw red after he retaliated by by appearing to aim an elbow at Anderson in Porto Alegre . The two players listen to the referee as he reaches for his card from his back pocket on Wednesday night . Anderson shows his shock to be shown the red card for what he believed to be an innocent challenge . While some players offered their hands in apology to the fans after being repeatedly booed, Fabricio took a different route and showed two middle fingers to the crowd leaving referee Luis Teixeira Rocha with no choice but to give him his marching orders. The 28-year-old left back reacted by tearing off his shirt, throwing it to the floor and shouting 'I'm leaving, I'm leaving,' as he walked down the tunnel. He has already been suspended until the end of the week by his club. Anderson ended his seven-and-a-half year association with United in February by signing a four-year deal with Internacional, but his return to Brazil has not gone as planned. Internacional's Fabricio was also sent off later in the game for aiming his middle fingers at booing fans . Fabricio threw his shirt to the ground after being shown the red card and shouted 'I'm leaving, I'm leaving' Having missed a penalty on his debut, he was substituted later in February after just 36 minutes needing oxygen while playing in the high-altitude Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz. While Internacional sit top of the table in the Campeonato Gaucho, Anderson has faced a familiar struggle for fitness despite making eight appearances since his move. Anderson ended a miserable seven-and-a-half year spell with Manchester United by leaving this season .

Exactly two weeks after Harvey Weinsten was accused of groping an Italian model during a business meeting, things seem to be back to normal for the Oscar winner and his designer wife. Weinsten was spotted looking remarkably relaxed and chipper as he stepped outside the couple's New York City townhouse on Thursday while wife Georgina Chapman has been sharing photos of herself hard at work creating the upcoming Spring/Summer 2016 bridal collection for her much beloved fashion brand Marchesa. Chapman even had a little helper joining her in the design room on Thursday - the couple's son Dashiell. Scroll down for videos .

Georgina Chapman (above) has been busy working on her upcoming Spring/Summer 2016 bridal fashion show for her brand Marchesa . She was joined by the couple's son Dashiell in her design studio on Wednesday (above) Weinstein looked much improved from photos taken last week in which the movie executive seemed depressed and downtrodden as he headed to the office, appearing to almost smile at photographers as he got into his car on Thursday afternoon. The couple may still be dealing with some problems however, with one of Chapman's society pals revealing just how angry she is with her husband to the New York Daily News. 'She’s furious!' said the socialite. 'She thinks it’s embarrassing not only to her, but to their kids.' That being said, she is reportedly eager to put the entire thing behind them, if only for their two children, which also includes daughter India. 'She doesn’t want this to interrupt her business or embarrass the kids any more than it already has,' added the unnamed socialite. Ambra Battilana, who claims Weinstein stuck his hand under her skirt, met with prosecutors on Tuesday as a criminal probe into the incident continues. The model, 22, also claims Weinstein asked if her boobs were real during their business meeting. Weinstein has reportedly made himself available for questioning whenever needed, and no charges have been formally filed against him at this time.

No charges have been filed against Weinstein (above with Chapman at the 2015 Oscars) at this time and he has cooperated with authorities . The couple along with their two children all spent Easter together at their Connecticut home with georgina sharing a photo of Easter eggs (above) The perfectly polished Chapman, 38, and notoriously brash Weinstein, 63, began dating in late 2004 and were married three years later at their Connecticut estate. The wedding, in which the British beauty wore one of her own designs, was packed with celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Renee Zellweger, Naomi Watts, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez and Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, to name just a few. They welcomed daughter India in 2010 and son Dashiell three years later. Weinstein, one of the most powerful executives in Hollywood, took home an Oscar in 1999 for the Miramax film Shakespeare in Love, but has had some troubles of recent with The Weinstein Company, which he and his brother started in 2005 after leaving Miramax. There are rumors that they are preparing to sell off their television division to British broadcaster ITV for as much as $950million, this according to The Hollywood Reporter. Chapman on the other hand has become one of the most in-demand designers in the industry, with Marchesa growing at a staggering rate since she and partner Keren Craig debuted their first collection in 2004. Hollywood's biggest stars go to the two ladies not only for major red carpet events, but also their own special occasions, with the brand being a frequent choice for celebrities on their wedding day. Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Olivia Wilde, Kerry Washington, Miley Cyrus and Reese Witherspoon are just a few of the A-listers who have donned one of the brand's gowns. Chapman has yet to comment about the groping incident. Max Dundas, a long term representative for Chapman, told MailOnline: ‘I spoke to Georgina this week, they spent the entire weekend together as a family and their relationship is as strong as ever.'

A builder who wolf-whistled a young woman only to be accused of sexual harassment said today she is a 'silly little girl' who was 'lucky' to have received the attention. Ian Merrett, 28, is astonished that Poppy Smart, 23, did not take it as a compliment, which he says has helped him 'snog loads of girls' in the past. The builder and his colleagues whistled at her every day for a month as she passed their Worcester construction site. Miss Smart, who compared the wolf-whistling to racial discrimination, eventually filmed them and asked West Mercia Police to investigate alleged sexual harassment. Mr Merrett admits it was probably him whistling but called Miss Smart a 'silly little girl' who should never have gone to the police. He said: 'I'm sure if she walks past again and she is lucky she will get wolf-whistled again. I have wolf-whistled so many girls and got so many birds and snogged so many girls off the back of that, and never had a complaint before. But I've got a girlfriend so need to be careful what I say'. Scroll down for video . Fighting back: Builder Ian Merrett, left, was accused of sexual harassment for wolf-whistling Poppy Smart, 23, right, every day for a month, but he has said she should take it as a compliment . Mr Merrett, who was jailed for 12 months in 2009 for affray, also accused her of damaging the reputation of his trade and 'hard working' builders by trying to get them prosecuted. Miss Smart, a marketing co-ordinator, contacted West Mercia Police over the regular taunts and the force went to the building site in Worcester to warn the men about their conduct. She also filmed the whistles and handed the evidence to officers, who followed up Poppy's complaint but had not taken further action, the force said. Mr Merrett, who was branded 'disgraceful' by the judge when he was convicted for the unprovoked train attack six years ago, said: 'It's highly likely it was me who did that wolf-whistle. I've seen the news coverage and it's not right. 'Wolf-whistling is part and parcel of working on a site, it's complimenting a girl. I'm a builder and my mates are builders. We are all hard working people and our reputation has been damaged' 'I can remember that day when she took the video, we were under-pinning a wall that day. 'I only saw the back of her, I didn't even see her face and you can see in the video the wolf-whistle comes after she had passed the gate. 'I didn't even see her face, and I wouldn't recognise her if I fell over her in the street, so I don't know how that could possibly be sexual harassment. 'Police came to our site and said someone had made an allegation of harassment. They showed us the video so we stopped doing it. 'It's not worth getting into trouble over some silly little girl. I don't know why she complained, she must be thinking things above her station.' Mr Merrett was 23 when he received a 12-month prison sentence for an unprovoked attack on a Malvern to Birmingham train in 2009. Jailing him and his friend Anthony Hannay, Judge Amjad Nawaz condemned their 'disgraceful' behaviour after they repeatedly punched passenger Michael Powell in a drunken attack. At the time, the judge told them: 'Loutish behaviour like this is sadly becoming all too common.' Speaking today, Mr Merrett shrugged off the attack, and said: 'It was all a very long time ago when I used to go around town getting p***** up and fighting. 'I was sentenced for 12 months and served six months. It's the first and last time I've been in prison but not the first time I've had a run in with the law. 'As far as I'm concerned, it's in the past, I'm older now and I've got a job and a kid. I'm a different person.' Ms Smart recorded one of the occasions she walked past the building site. There is no suggestion any of the men pictured in the mobile phone footage (shown left and right) were involved in the alleged wolf-whistling . Crime scene: The building yard in Worcester where Ms Smart alleges workman wolf-whistled at her while on her way to work . 'Disrespectful': The 23-year-old marketing co-ordinator (pictured) claimed builders at a construction site wolf-whistled at her every morning as she walked to work in Worcester city centre . Earlier this week, Miss Smart condemned men who wolf-whistle, claiming it was demeaning and compared it to racism. She decided to take action after the workmen whistled and made disrespectful comments towards her as she walked past the building site on her way to work, making it unbearable for her on her daily commute to Worcester city centre. The marketing co-ordinator said it went on for at least a month before she decided to take action. She said: 'I had to walk past that way to go to work and it got so bad that they would actually come out of the building site at the time I walked down the road. 'I often had my earphones in but I could still hear the whistling over it. 'I eventually contacted the building company and the police when it got so bad I even considered changing my route to work but thought 'why should I do that?' 'I remember one of the builders, who was probably 18 or 19, got right in my face and said 'morning love' to me when he was stood with an older guy.' She told Newsbeat they often 'blocked the pavement' forcing her to walk around them. She said: 'I started wearing sunglasses so I didn't have to look at them. I started putting headphones on so I didn't have to hear them. 'Eventually it got to the day where I had enough.' Miss Smart said she decided to film the workmen on her mobile phone and hand the footage to police because 'women shouldn't have to deal with it.' She added: 'I've noticed this behaviour more and more around the city. 'Men will lean out of their cars or vans and shout comments about my appearance or whistle and I know and have seen this happen to others as well. 'I think more women should speak out about this behaviour, maybe it will make people think twice. 'Imagine hearing someone speaking that way to your sister, mother, wife or daughter. 'Personally I don't think that such comments, even if they are considered complimentary by the perpetrators, are appropriate. 'It is very disrespectful and is comparable to calling out at someone of a different race or religion.'

Poppy Smart, 23, accused builders of sexual harassment for wolf-whistling . Ian Merrett, 28, says she was 'lucky' and should take it as a compliment . He said: 'If she walks past again and is lucky she'll get wolf-whistled again' He accused her of damaging the reputation of men in the building trade . Miss Smart went to police who sent officers to warn the builders involved .

Caledonia, Michigan (CNN)Ben and Shelby Offrink met in college. It wasn't the most romantic setting -- a study group for calculus-based physics -- but Ben managed to turn it into a story worth telling by cheating. "I set up a study group and ended up telling the other people not to come so it would be just the two of us," said Ben with a smile. "He was sneaky," says Shelby. "Yeah, I wanted to meet her," says Ben, "and that was the best way I could figure out." Fast-forward eight years to 2014. Ben, now 34, and Shelby, a newly minted 30-year-old, were married and raising little Maeve, 3, and baby Hazel, 3 months, in Caledonia, Michigan, when life suddenly turns upside down. "I thought it was sciatica," Shelby says of the back pain and the "odd" feeling that prompted her to go to the hospital. "But I couldn't get the doctors in the ER to pay attention. So I went back the next day and told them that I was incontinent, and they did an MRI and there it was." "It" turned out to be an intramedullary glioblastoma, a highly aggressive form of brain cancer. Shelby's version was extremely rare because it was lodged in her spine instead of her brain. "So it's actually tangled into the spinal cord itself," Ben explains. "If you'd imagine a meatball inside of bunch of spaghetti, you can't just easily take it out without damaging a bunch of the spinal cord itself." Surgery removed 75%. The rest was treated with a combination of oral chemo and radiation. But suddenly a second spot above the first grew worse and the area of radiation had to be broadened. After a week of treatment, Shelby suddenly lost feeling in her legs. Unfortunately, the numbness became permanent. Before long, Shelby was paralyzed from the belly button down. But that didn't stop her fighting spirit or her sense of humor. Shelby nicknamed her tumors and decided to "terminate" them. "You pronounce it as 'tumah tumah-nator,'" Ben says. "Like how Arnold Schwarzenegger would say it if he had a tumor." As Shelby continued to fight and improve, in August 2014, Ben got some terrible news. The Hodgkins lymphoma he had fought and battled into remission when he was 20 had reappeared. And it probably had been hiding in his body for a few years, making it extremely hard to overcome. "I thought it was never a concern again," Ben says. "The procedures I went through, having a bone marrow transplant, I thought there wouldn't be any issues. It's been over 15 years. It caught everyone completely off guard." Ben was slated for a clinical trial with an experimental drug, but his alkaline phosphate levels were too high to meet the requirements. With no other options in the Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor or Detroit areas, he is now on generalized chemotherapy, hoping it will force the cancer into remission so he can undergo a bone marrow transplant. Two donors have been found that are a perfect match, if the cancer will respond. "As it goes on, they are saying it's getting harder and harder to treat," he says. "It's just like a car picking up speed. Eventually you're going to have 5 million cells, it's just going to keep growing and growing." Suddenly, both parents were undergoing the nausea, fatigue and discomfort of chemotherapy while trying to raise two small children. "Some days it does feel like a battle," Ben admits. "The days you are feeling absolutely horrible you don't even want to get out of bed, but you know you have to because you have to take care of the girls or help Shelby. Some days it's just way tougher than others." Friends and family became critical to the family's success, taking over updates to the family's online journal, and running fundraisers for medical expenses and building supplies to make the house wheelchair-friendly. "We'd had an amazing support group," Ben says. "Shelby has friends from high school who will drop everything to help us out at a moment's notice. And the community, it's just amazing for people to help that much. " "Even outside of our community, people we don't even know," adds Shelby, wiping a tear from her eye. "We've had care packages sent from Ireland, Sweden and Australia. It means a lot." This January came the worst news yet. Shelby's cancer, which had retreated from her spine, suddenly appeared in her brain. Three tumors. Inoperable. What is Shelby's reaction? "I'm not giving up," she says. "Ben and I have a long road ahead of us. We know it's going to be hard, but we're going to do it." "For me it's just something that you have to do," Ben says. "You have to fight it and you have to beat it because there is no option." Maeve, who is 4 years old now, and Hazel, 1, will have a home with Ben's brother if the worst is to happen, and friends are setting up fundraisers for the girls' education. But that's not the focus of Ben and Shelby's fight. They want to get well. "Yeah, we have two little ladies we have to take care of," Shelby says, "and lots of family and friends that care about us." "She's not just doing it for herself, she's doing it for her whole family, especially her girls and her husband, Ben," said Jay Tomczak, Shelby's older brother. "She's not going to ever give up. What we really need is hope." The Offrinks would like help finding clinical trials to address the rare cancers they are fighting, as well as access to cancer centers with more advanced techniques than are available in Michigan. "We're going to get all of our information and would like to go to Harvard or Mayo (Clinic) or places where maybe they do have more experience, and act in a shorter time frame," Shelby says. "If, right now, we can find two or three trials that maybe Shelby can get into, or a trial drug for me to try instead of the path I'm on right now, it could definitely benefit us," adds Ben. "We just can't wait," Shelby says. Her prognosis is about six months, she says, and a year for her husband. "Never give up, because there's no reason to. Just keep fighting," Shelby says. She breaks into tears: "Especially when you have someone special to fight for and everyone has someone special to fight for -- there's no one who doesn't."

UPDATE: Shelby Offrink lost her battle to cancer on June 28, 2015 . Offrink was diagnosed at 30 with rare inoperable brain cancer . Her husband, Ben, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, which had been in remission 15 years .

Matilda was chosen to play to Julie, who in the TV show died from putrid throat, because of her small size. Now Mrs Fitt has revealed how watching the scene brought tears to her eyes. 'It was very emotional seeing it because of what we’ve been through,' she said. 'Matilda was in and out of hospital for check-ups and tests since birth.

'All the cast were - especially Eleanor. She’s a very special person, extremely down to earth and just lovely - she was great with Matilda. 'Some scenes were tricky to nail because baby Julia is supposed to be really poorly and we knew Matilda did have to die on camera. 'As you can imagine, getting a 15-month-old to play dead was no easy feat but she coped really well. 'In one scene she is lying on a bed fully made-up and the doctor is mopping her brow. But I was there with sweets to make sure she was happy.' Matilda was on set for five days and even had her own trailer .

Matilda was in and out of hospital for check-ups and tests for months after her birth, and her mother said watching the Poldark death scene brought tears to her eyes . 'We want everyone to know that in real life Julie - or Matilda - is very well and doing fine,' her mother said, describing her daughter as 'a little star' Mrs Fitt, who works for the SAFE Foundation helping disadvantaged people, said: 'It was only a few weeks after she was released from hospital care that my sister-in-law saw the casting call for a baby girl. 'We decided to put her forward. Soon after that she was accepted and we were told only minimal information. All I knew is that it was filming for a BBC production. 'We spent five days filming. Matilda was a bit of a diva occasionally but she always came around with some bribery of toys and books. 'She even had her own trailer and a rider of green grapes. But we want everyone to know that in real life Julie - or Matilda - is very well and doing fine. She is a little star.'

A Canadian man found a novel way to take in the sights while travelling across country, by taking an rocking chair with him. Kalman Kallai enjoyed the spectacular Canadian scenery from the comfort of a green chair while journeying from Borden, Ontario to Comox, British Columbia for work purposes. Calculating that the drive would take him across a colossal 2,796 miles (4500km) of land, Mr Kallai believed that his journey would be more interesting if he used it as an opportunity to see more of his country. The traveller sits before corn, a café, boats and water, before he is featured rocking and making gestures with his hand . Mr Kallai and a friend mimic the planes that fly past at the beginning of the traveller's adventure . After picking up a green rocking chair that he acquired for free from online advertisement site Kijiji, the traveller attached his trailer and set off on the nine-day journey. The video begins with Mr Kallai carrying his chair to a wooded area, before placing it down and taking a seat. He wears a green hoody, blue jacket and hat – clothing items that remain a running theme throughout the course of the video. Mr Kallai travelled from Borden, Ontario to Comox, British Columbia for work purposes . Sat rocking on his chair watching a number of aeroplanes taking off – perhaps at this point wishing he was on one himself – the traveller is joined by a friend. The pair sit and mimic the plane’s wings before shaking hands and waving goodbye to one another, to allow Mr Kallai to continue his adventure on his own. The traveller is then sat before corn, a café, boats and water, before he is featured rocking and making gestures with his hands. The traveller wears a green hoody, blue jacket and hat in every clip of himself in the video . Mr Kallai takes time to pose precariously on a river bed while journeying across Canada . He momentarily leaves the chair to chase some birds on a beach before making his way through a field and waving at some cows. Later in the video the traveller is met by his dad, who humorously steals the rocking chair before he is swiftly removed. Continuing a good portion of the journey together, the pair dance and jump around in front of rapids and tease a number of large statues. Creature comfort! Mr Kallai makes a number of hand gestures in the video and even waves at cows . Despite hauling the rocking chair around in a trailer, the traveller is also featured carrying it on his head . Mr Kallai said: ‘I brought my dad with me for part of the trek. It was a great bonding experience, as we shared many laughs. ‘I heard some pretty interesting stories about his youth that I hadn't heard before, especially since my mother wasn't on the trip with us.’ The pair reach Manitoba together before they meet with some people and the traveller’s father leaves his son to journey on by himself. Mr Kallai is joined by his dad while journeying across the country and the pair jump around and dance together . The traveller said that he shared many laughs with his dad and that it was a great bonding experience . Hauling the chair around on his head as much as in his trailer, Mr Kallai takes time to pose precariously on a river bed and even a railway track. Arriving in Alberta the temperature suddenly plummets and a lot more snow features in the following images. Eventually however, Mr Kallai reaches British Colombia and the video concludes with him carrying his rocking chair into what appears to be his new front room and taking a seat. Mr Kallai videos himself sitting on a railway track on the chair he acquired from online advertisement site Kijiji .

Brendan Rodgers has urged Liverpool to turn Wembley back into 'Anfield South' and believes an FA Cup semi-final victory over Aston Villa on Sunday would help his players develop a stronger winning mentality. Rodgers is looking to lead Liverpool to an eighth FA Cup victory and his first piece of silverware since replacing Kenny Dalglish as manager in 2012. And the Northern Irishman believes that while trophy success is imperative for any Liverpool team, success this season could pave the way for many more trips to Wembley in the future. Brendan Rodgers leads Liverpool for the first time at Wembley since arriving at the club in 2012 . Liverpool's last trophy success came in 2012 in the League Cup under Kenny Dalglish . Rodgers wants Liverpool to reclaim the form that led Wembley being called 'Anfield South' by supporters . 'The history of the competition is set here at Liverpool, with the great victories they've had in the past,' Rodgers said in an interview with The Football Association. 'And this is a club that is based around winning trophies. 'Wembley was somewhere that used to be known as 'Anfield South'. Liverpool used to visit Wembley so much it was a regular occurrence for them. 'We have some gifted young players who we want to springboard their careers by allowing them to feel the mentality of winning and that would really help us.' The 42-year-old Rodgers also spoke of his eagerness to claim his first piece of silverware at Liverpool. He took the side to brink of winning the Premier League for the first time last season but while Liverpool have undoubtedly progressed under his guidance, their last trophy win was the League Cup in 2012 under Dalglish. 'I want to be in the game for a long time, and be renowned as someone who is up there at the elite level and looking to win trophies,' Rodgers said. '(The FA Cup) is synonymous throughout the world. It's the real competition in domestic football that the players love to win.' Rodgers believes cup glory would help his players develop a stronger winning mentality for future seasons . Should Rodgers (left) guide Liverpool to victory, Steven Gerrard will have a chance to lift a cup in his last game . Rodgers has an indifferent record against Villa since arriving at Liverpool. He has beaten the club three times at Villa Park but has yet to record victory over the Midlands side at Anfield in the league in his three seasons, losing twice. Should Liverpool reach the final against Arsenal on May 30, it would present captain Steven Gerrard with the chance to sign off his era at Liverpool by lifting a trophy.

Liverpool take on Aston Villa on Sunday for a place in the FA Cup final . Brendan Rodgers is leading Liverpool at Wembley for the first time . The manager wants to ingrain a trophy-winning habit into his players .

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo appeared to be enjoying his vacation in Portugal as he posed for a picture at the dinner table with family and friends just days after his affair with a fitness instructor was exposed. Rojo went away during a week off for his club side, pictured with team-mate Angel di Maria on the plane, after United's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday. The Argentina international is impressing in defence under Louis van Gaal in his first season in the Premier League, though it his time off the field in Manchester that has recently come into question.

Fitness instructor Sarah Watson, 34, claims Rojo and his advisors tried to frame her for blackmail after she enjoyed a brief liaison with the United star following a night out. Rojo's identity in the case was originally held back as a 'Premier League footballer' though the details have now been revealed. She said: ‘He came over to me and sat down. His English was quite bad but he was chatty and said nice things to me about how I looked and how he liked my Versace dress. ‘He said “You’re gorgeous, you’re the best looking girl in here.” It was all very cheesy, but he’s so good looking that I gave him my number.’ Rojo invited her to his friend’s flat for a more private party, but she declined and they parted. He then sent a text at 2am. “My love, where are you?” he asked. ‘It was a bit of an ego boost for me. There were a lot of young, pretty girls that night, but he wanted me.’ So she and a girlfriend booked a taxi to the address he sent her. When they arrived at the flat in the centre of the city, a friend of Rojo’s – known in court as Mr X but who now can be named as Kristian Bereit – made a shocking proposition. ‘He asked me how much it would cost for me to have sex with Marcos. I told him that I was not a prostitute.’ But she did find the Argentine star’s dusky looks attractive and they ended up in a bedroom. ‘I did it because I liked him, not for money or with any intention to sell the story on,’ she said. The Argentine defender was in action for Manchester United against Aston Villa on Saturday . Rojo celebrates with team-mate Di Maria after the 3-1 victory at Old Trafford in the Premier League . Watson says that the 25-year-old offered her money to spend the night with him - which she declined - and then accepted a £30,000 offer from a newspaper to sell her story. She never received that money, and Sarah then says Rojo's representatives tried to entrap her with promises of cash to spin the story. Watson said: ‘[Rojo] and his people contrived to make me look like a greedy cow, when it was them who offered me £100,000 as hush money.' Last month Mr Justice Warby made a ruling in the High Court that overturned the gagging order and ordered Rojo to pay Sarah’s estimated £25,000 legal costs. The defender has not spoken about the incident publicly, while his friend Bereit - who Sarah claims offered her the money - declined to comment. Watching from the stands as Rojo impressed at Old Trafford against Tim Sherwood's side at the weekend, was his wife Eugenia Lusardo, a lingerie model based in Lisbon, and their young daughter, Morena. Both are pictured with Rojo as he enjoyed a meal in Lisbon, the city he used to ply his trade in with Sporting before signing for United last summer.

A waitress on a zero-hours contract who kept silent over her boss groping her because she feared her hours would be cut has won a £20,000 payout at an employment tribunal. Lucy Southern, who worked behind the bar at the hotel owned by Britannia Hotels in Leeds, was quizzed about her sex life and asked whether she wore stockings in bed by her line manager Alex Nkoroi. She complained in August 2013 but nothing was done and in October, Nkoroi began touching her, slapping her bottom and kissing her on the neck. Lucy Southern worked for Britannia Hotels and claims she quizzed about her sex life and groped by her line manager Alex Nkoroi . She also claimed he stood behind her to 'grind' up and down her back, simulating sex. He later stroked her back and prodded her in a private area with a pen, the hearing was told. At a meeting with the hotel manager, James Whittaker she told him: 'I didn't want to say anything in case he gave me less shifts. 'I feel like I have to get on with him so that I get my hours.' Ms Southern, who was 22 at the time and no longer works at the hotel, added: 'If I take back what I said about Alex I can just get my hours back can't I?' In the judgement of the panel, which found both Nkoroi and Brittania Hotels guilty of sex discrimination by way of harassment but cleared them of indirect sex discrimination, the tribunal stated: 'The claimant was a casual member of staff. 'She had a zero hours contract and it was certainly her belief whether right or wrong that the second respondent (Nkoroi) would be able to influence the number of hours that she would be given to work. 'When James Whittaker had every reason to believe that a manager had engaged in repeated sexualised behaviour in the workplace, during working hours, with a subordinate member of staff, he did not think that any form of disciplinary sanction was appropriate.' After the tribunal application was lodged, the hotel reinvestigated but found only one count, the neck kissing to be proved and that Miss Southern had encouraged it. Nkoroi was then required in September last year, to attend a bullying and harassment training course. When Miss Southern appealed against the decision of the second investigation, a third investigation was undertaken, but they rejected the appeal. Nkoroi had always denied all the allegations, but at the tribunal in Leeds, after saying he was a practising Christian and swearing on the bible, he refused to deny the accusations, though he said he had forgotten some and that some of the touching might have been accidental. He added that he may have had a conversation with her about her sexual practises but that it would have been in the context of a discussion about his religious beliefs. The panel added: 'We have no hesitation in concluding that the events complained of by Miss Southern occurred.' An employment tribunal at the City Exchange in Leeds, pictured, ordered Britannia Hotels to pay Miss Southern £19,500 in compensation for injury to her feelings . It emerged at the hearing that Miss Southern suffers long-term mental health problems, but had made her employer and Nkoroi aware of it. The panel added: 'There can be no doubt that the claimant perceived such conduct to be humiliating, to have been degrading and to have violated her dignity. 'The other circumstances of the case of relevance are her age, her mental health history and the fragility that the illness was likely to cause and the fact that the perpetrator was a manager in a position, as she believed, to determine what work would be offered to her. 'She took great offence at being touched. She tells us it made her feel dirty and angry. She felt trapped. She felt that she did not know how to handle the situation.' They added: 'We cannot identify what Mr Nkoroi's purpose was in behaving in that way and to be charitable towards him he may not have appreciated the extent of the upset that he was causing although, as a manager, if he had had any worthwhile equality training, it should have been self evident that what he was doing was simply wrong.' The tribunal awarded her £19,500 compensation for injury to her feelings, explaining: 'Where persistent harassment over a period of eight months has occurred, substantial compensation is likely to be justified but where the employer then has the means of addressing the problem, but wholly fails to do so in relation to a process that takes another year to complete, the impact upon this claimiant was clearly likely to be magnified. 'It cannot be underestimated how the claimant must have felt when she was and indeed has continued to be persistently disbelieved.'

Wisden, the cricket bible, has launched a stinging attack on English cricket and says that the national team have lost touch with the game's public. Editor Lawrence Booth, also a respected cricket writer with Sportsmail, uses his notes to take England to task after a tumultuous year spent trying to recover from the bitter fall-out of losing the last Ashes series 5-0. English cricket, says Booth in the 152nd edition of the fabled Almanack, which is published on Wednesday, 'repeatedly lost touch with the basic idea that the national team belongs to us all'. Wisden editor Lawrence Booth has launched a stinging attack on the ECB's handling of Kevin Pietersen . The star batsman will ply his trade for Surrey in a bid to reclaim his spot in the England Test team . And he continues: 'A few wins might have deflected attention from a charge sheet that would include the mishandling of the Kevin Pietersen affair, worrying Test attendances outside London, a head in the sand attitude to the one-day team and - not yet a decade after the 2005 Ashes had presented English cricket with a golden chance to attract a new generation to the sport – a fall in the number of recreational players. 'Starting with the drubbing in Australia, England lost eight full series out of all across the formats in 2014, to say nothing of their defeat by the Netherlands at the World Twenty20. In all, they lost 28 games. Only once had this been surpassed in a calendar year by one of the eight major teams – the dysfunctional 2010 Pakistanis. 'National selector James Whitaker had called Cook "our exceptional leader"; Paul Downton, the ECB's new managing director, hailed Peter Moores as the "outstanding coach of his generation". It was a nexus of self-preservation yet, as the wagons circled, the wheels kept threatening to fall off.' The Wisden editor is just as scathing about England's decision to sack Alastair Cook as one-day captain on the drink of what turned out to be the most disastrous World Cup in England's history. Peter Moores presided over a disastrous World Cup but was labelled 'the outstanding coach of his generation' by the ECB's new managing director Paul Downton . The beleaguered Alastair Cook was stripped of the one-day captaincy before the World Cup debacle . 'To leave the sacking of Cook so late made little sense,' says Booth. 'Had he stepped down in August after the 3-1 Test win over India he could have done so with his post-Ashes reputation partly restored. This would have allowed him to gather strength for the ludicrous run of 17 Tests in less than 10 months, starting in Great Optimism in Antigua in April 2015 and ending in Near Exhaustion in South Africa in January 2016. (As someone pointed out, 17 Tests are almost a third of Don Bradman's career.) 'Trouble was, Cook had become more than just a cricketer: cast by his employers in the role of latter-day saint to Pietersen's fallen angel, he was now an article of faith. Giles Clarke (the ECB chairman) even suggested the Cooks were "very much the sort of people we want the England captain and his family to be" which was all well and good but couldn't stop him edging behind. Downton, Whitaker and Moores were all bound up with his fate. Cook had to succeed, as much for others as himself. It was an intolerable position. 'England overplayed their hand. The Test win over a supine India did not mean Cook would effect a similar transformation of the one-day side. This seemed obvious to everyone – except to the men who run the game.' But Booth, who also writes for Sportsmail, says Cook's eventual sacking so late made little sense . National selector James Whitaker (right) had called Cook 'our exceptional leader' Pietersen appeared on the Graham Norton Show - the presenter suggested 'team sport's not for you' England also come under attack for the way they handled the sacking of Pietersen, a situation where they had right on their side - plus the support of the bulk of those who follow the team around professionally - but somehow allowed the maverick to claim the morale high ground. A situation that, incredibly, is still going on, after Wisden went to press on this year's edition. 'The ECB's comments on the fall-out with Pietersen should have been clear and concise,' writes Booth. 'If you're widely regarded as a pain it helps if you're scoring lots more runs than anyone else. Instead, England botched the PR battle. They hinted that some darker truth about his behaviour would emerge once a confidentiality agreement expired in October. Yet the lull merely prolonged the fiasco. And, when the dirt failed to materialise, the ECB looked rudderless. Worse, in the eyes of those agitating for an explanation, they looked indifferent. 'It was typical of a story beyond ECB's control that their best moment was not of their own making. Having searched in vain for the words that justified his sacking, they were gifted a 324-page solution, an autobiography so full of rancour that BBC chat-show host Graham Norton suggested to Pietersen: "Maybe, just maybe, team sport's not for you." This year's Wisden also includes both a withering review of Pietersen's nasty book by the Mail on Sunday's Patrick Collins, who retired this year after a distinguished career, and an excellent piece of the aspect of his career totally overlooked by Pietersen in his book – batting that touched genius. Simon Hughes admirably fills the void that Pietersen left himself. Gary Ballance has been named one of Wisden's five cricketers of the year in the new edition . Ballance's Yorkshire team-mate Adam Lyth, called up by England, is also in the top five . Jeetan Patel (left) and Angelo Mathews make up the remainder of Booth's top five cricketers . Sri Lanka's brilliant Kumar Sangakkara clinched the title of leading cricketer in the world . Australia's Meg Lanning (batting against England) is honoured with the inaugural women's award . The thousands of disciples of Wisden always look immediately at who the editor has chosen as his five cricketers of the year, one of the oldest and most highly regarded prizes in sport. Booth has chosen well and predictably in the cases of Moeen Ali, who has the honour of being pictured on the front cover, Gary Ballance, Adam Lyth and Angelo Mathews and enterprisingly in Jeetan Patel, who is rewarded for his prolific season for Warwickshire. To me, the award suffers in that players are only allowed to be picked once. For instance, how good would it be if, on his retirement, a player would be described as a five-time Wisden cricketer of the year? Booth is a progressive, brilliant, imaginative editor but perhaps such a move would be just a little too controversial for such a traditional vehicle as Wisden. The brilliant Kumar Sangakkara, who will be delighting championship audiences with Surrey this summer, is the leading cricketer in the world while, for the first time, there is an international woman cricketer of the year. Australia's Meg Lanning is honoured with the inaugural women's award. As ever, Wisden is a must for any cricket fan and even at a time of continuing turmoil for the England team and genuine concerns about cricket's future world-wise, it is a reassuring presence however critical the editor is of it. Moeen Ali (England and Worcestershire) England’s search for a spin bowler to replace Graeme Swann was thought to be doomed – until Moeen Ali lit up the summer with 12 wickets in the Southampton and Manchester Tests against India. He finished the series with 19 at 23 apiece. Earlier in the season he had almost saved the Headingley Test against Sri Lanka, batting for all bar one ball of the final day. And, when he was promoted to open for the one-day side, he scored the third-fastest hundred by an England batsman, from 72 balls against Sri Lanka in Colombo. Moeen Ali celebrates taking the wicket of India's Cheteshwar Pujara at Old Trafford last summer . Gary Ballance (England and Yorkshire) Gary Ballance began the summer with a century in his first home Test, against Sri Lanka at Lord’s, and followed up with two more against India – at Lord’s and Southampton. By the end of the season he boasted a Test average of over 60. Gary Ballance celebrates reaching his century during the third test with India in Southampton last year . Adam Lyth (England and Yorkshire) Yorkshire opening batsman Adam Lyth was the leading run-scorer in the County Championship, with 1,489 runs at an average of 67 and six hundreds, and was one of the pillars of his team’s triumph. He was rewarded with a place on England’s tour of the Caribbean in April 2015. Yorkshire's Adam Lyth was the leading run-scorer in the 2014 County Championship season . Angelo Mathews (Sri Lanka) Angelo Mathews was the inspiration behind Sri Lanka’s first Test series victory in England. After helping to save the First Test at Lord’s with a century, he made 160 – and took four wickets – as Sri Lanka came from behind to win in Leeds. Mathews also led his team to wins in the one-day series and the one-off Twenty20 international. Angelo Mathews after making 160 for Sri Lanka in the second Test with England at Headingley . Jeetan Patel (New Zealand and Warwickshire) New Zealand off-spinner Jeetan Patel was central to Warwickshire’s success across all three formats. He claimed 107 victims in total, more than anyone in the country, and his 25 wickets in the NatWest T20 Blast – the most in the competition – helped his side lift the trophy on home turf at Edgbaston. Jeetan Patel takes the final wicket as Warwickshire beat Middlesex in last year's County Championship .

Great Britain's medal hopes at the 2016 Olympics have taken a hit after potential gold-winning Taekwondo fighter Aaron Cook’s switch to represent Moldova was confirmed. The 24-year-old from Dorset, ranked No 2 in the world in the sub-80kg class, has had his citizenship change ratified after the breakdown of his relationship with the British Olympic Association. Cook, who has not competed for GB since missing out on selection for London 2012, appears to have been taken under the wing of the Moldovan Taekwondo Federation and its billionaire president Igor Iuzefovici. Taekwondo fighter Aaron Cook's application to switch allegiances to Moldova has been approved . Cook has been granted Moldovan citizenship British Olympic Association plans to fight for them in Rio 2016 . The extent of their financial support is unclear but Cook has received a Moldovan passport and will compete for them at Rio 2016. His first outing is likely to be at the World Championships in Russia next month. Cook has said he felt he had no other option due to a lack of funding and support from GB.

Stefan Johansen gratefully picked up two individual prizes at the annual Celtic player of the year awards dinner on Sunday night then looked forward to the team clinching the Scottish Premiership title. The Norway midfielder, 24, shared the players' player of the year award with captain Scott Brown but stood alone as the choice of the supporters. And by this weekend the former Stromsgodset player, who joined the Parkhead club in January last year, could have another championship medal to boot. Stefan Johansen has been in terrific form for Celtic this season and has impressed during his first campaign . Ronny Deila's side went eight points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the table with a 3-0 away win at Dundee United on Sunday, courtesy of a Leigh Griffiths hat-trick. The Hoops will win the league for the fourth successive season if they beat Dundee at home on Friday night and the Dons fail to win against the Tannadice side on Saturday, which would cap a 'special' campaign for Johansen. 'It's an amazing feeling,' he told Celtic's official website. 'I didn't expect it at all. This is my first full season here so it's special, especially at a big club like Celtic. The Norwegian picked up two awards and is delighted with the Bhoys 'special' season . 'With all the great players in the team and how the team has developed this season, it's an honour to get this prize. 'I'm proud because when you see all the other players nominated - any one of them could win it. 'We have had a great season and hopefully we can seal the league title now. We just need to continue what we've been doing.'

Microsoft hopes to lure more people to use its new Windows 10 software by making it easy to use many of the same apps they're already using on Apple or Android phones. The move marks a radical shift in strategy for the world's biggest software company, which still dominates the personal computer market but has failed to get any real traction on tablets and phones, partly because of a lack of apps. The company said at its annual Build conference on Wednesday that it will release new programming tools for software developers to rapidly adapt their Apple and Android apps to run on devices that use the new Windows 10 operating system coming late this year. Scroll down for video . Microsoft hopes to lure more people to use its new Windows 10 software by making it easy to use many of the same apps they're already using on Apple or Android phones. Pictured:  Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella delivers his keynote address at Microsoft Build in San Francisco, . New operating system will run on the 'broadest types of devices ever'. Various app stores merged into one platform, called the One Store. Return of the Start Menu, which had been removed from Windows 8. Users can create multiple desktops to keep things organised. Microsoft also announced a new name for the web browser that it plans to offer with Windows 10. The company promises its new 'Edge' browser is faster and more useful than the Internet Explorer that Microsoft has offered for the last 20 years. The tech giant is making its case for Windows 10 before an army of software developers who may be crucial allies in its campaign to build enthusiasm among consumers for the next version of Microsoft's flagship operating system, coming later this year. 'Our goal is to make Windows 10 the most attractive development platform ever,' Microsoft executive Terry Myerson told an audience of several thousand programmers and app developers. While Microsoft has already previewed some aspects of the new Windows, a parade of top executives is using the Build conference to demonstrate more software features and app-building tools, with an emphasis on mobile devices as well as PCs. Ultimately, they're hoping to win over people who have turned to smartphones and tablets that run on rival operating systems from Google and Apple. During the three-day conference, Microsoft is also expected to show off new Windows smartphones or other devices and reveal more details about such tech initiatives as the company's new Spartan web browser; its Siri-like digital assistant known as Cortana; and the HoloLens, a futuristic 'augmented reality' headset that projects three-dimensional images in a wearer's field of vision. But perhaps most importantly, this year's conference is an opportunity for Microsoft to persuade an audience of more than 5,000 techies and independent programmers that it's worth their time to create new apps and programs for Windows 10. Experts say Microsoft needs a rich variety of apps if it wants to appeal to people who are increasingly using mobile gadgets instead of personal computers. A woman wearing a HoloLens demonstrates how the technology can be used to test and develop robotics at the Microsoft Build conference in San Francisco. Internet Explorer, which was first called Windows Internet Explorer, was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95 in 1995. Internet Explorer was one of the most widely used web browsers, attaining a peak of about 95 per cent during 2002 and 2003. However, it struggled in the face of competition, and in May 2012 it was announced that Google's Chrome overtook Internet Explorer as the most used browser worldwide. The brand has struggled to shake off the bad reputation of Internet Explorer 6, which was notoriously insecure. 'Getting developer buy-in is absolutely the crucial thing,' said J.P. Gownder, a tech industry analyst at Forrester Research. He said Microsoft has struggled with a 'chicken-and-egg' problem, in which developers have been reluctant to build mobile apps for Windows because relatively few people use Windows phones and tablets. Microsoft hopes it has solved that problem by designing Windows 10 so it's easier for developers to build 'universal' apps that work on a variety of Windows devices, from phones to PCs and other gadgets, Gownder said. Currently, there are more than 1.4 million apps for Android phones and about the same for Apple devices, while there are only a few hundred thousand apps that work on Windows phones and tablets. The company also has a big carrot to wave in front of those developers: Microsoft has already said it will release Windows 10 as a free upgrade to people who now have PCs or other gadgets running the previous two versions of Windows, provided they upgrade in the coming year. The offer could create a huge new audience of Windows 10 users in a relatively short time, Gownder said. Myerson predicted there will be a billion devices using Windows 10 - from PCs to phones, tablets, gaming consoles and even holographic computers - within the next two to three years. Microsoft has not said exactly when Windows 10 is coming, and some analysts are hoping the company will announce a release date at the conference, along with details about how it will distribute future upgrades. CEO Satya Nadella and other executives have hinted they'd like to move away from the old notion of selling each new version of Windows as a separate product. Microsoft's had early success in selling its Office productivity software on a subscription basis, in which customers pay an annual fee to use programs like Word, PowerPoint and Excel. A man demonstrates a device using Windows holographic technology during the Microsoft Build conference . Nadella is presiding over a major overhaul of a company that once dominated the tech industry, in the days when PCs were king. He has redesigned some of Microsoft's most popular programs for mobile devices and invested in new 'cloud-computing' services, in which businesses pay to use software that's housed in Microsoft's data centers. Microsoft still relies heavily on selling traditional software for PCs and corporate computer systems. But its latest quarterly earnings report, issued last week, offered some signs that the decline in that business is slowing, while Microsoft's cloud-computing business is growing rapidly. The news drove Microsoft's share price up 10 percent in one day. The stock has continued to rose, trading as high as $49.13 on Wednesday - within a dollar of its 52-week high.

One Missouri mom is making the best out of a less than ideal situation. Becky Schoenig of St. Louis, Missouri was shocked when she realized her brand new 2015 Ford Fusion had been stolen from her driveway on Monday night, just a little over a month after she took the car home. Then, on April 1, Schoenig was shocked to learn that police had found her car after receiving a tip from a man who recognized the vehicle as Schoenig's and would be returning it to her - but with a few minor changes. Scroll down for video . Bling: Becky Schoenig was shocked when her stolen car was located and returned to her with new red rims and detailing (above) Theft: The brand new 2015 Ford Fusion (above) had been stolen from her driveway Monday . Racer: She took to Facebook after getting the car back, writing; 'I want to thank the car thieves for pimping out my vehicle for me.... This b***h is pimpin now!!!' As the car pulled up, Schoenig noticed that the rims had been spray painted red, there was red detailing on the sides of the car, and her steering wheel now had some orange accents. Rather than get upset however, she simply took to Facebook and posted a photo of her and her new ride, writing; 'I want to thank the car thieves for pimping out my vehicle for me.... This b***h is pimpin now!!!' She also attached a photo of the car which, given the date, many thought was a joke. It was not all 'lollipops and rainbows' though Schoenig told KSDK, and she is now getting the vehicle professionally cleaned to deal with the strong smell of cigarettes and marijuana. She is also creating a smoothie at the restaurant she owns, The Hot Pot, to honor Mick Sexton, the man who located her car and notified police. The Sexton on Wheels will feature banana, pineapple, peach and coconut cream. 'She's a very special person,' said Marlene Trice, a friend of Schoenig. 'She is vibrant and happy and really loves making people laugh.'

For many of those concerned about the future of the planet, giving up meat is seen as a major way for people to reduce the impact they have on the environment. Producing beef, for example, requires large amounts of water, land for grazing and emits tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But now Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft and philanthropist, has said it may in fact be possible to keep eating meat and still care for the planet. Scroll down for video . Bill Gates, a failed vegetarian, says the world's demand for meat can be met with 'moderation and innovation' In his most recent blog post, the world's richest man, has defended meat eating, saying was unrealistic to expect large numbers of people to become vegetarian. He also explains that some of the impacts of meat farming have been overstated. Instead he believes it will be possible to provide enough meat for the world's growing population as demand in developing countries increases. Scientists have already cooked up the first test tube beef burger, but now researchers in Israel are working on the world's first lab-grown chicken. Professor Amit Gefen, a bioengineer at Tel Aviv University, . has begun a year-long feasibility study into manufacturing . chicken in a lab, funded by a non-profit group called the Modern . Agriculture Foundation which hopes 'cultured meat' will one day . replace the raising of animals for slaughter. The foundation's co-founder Shir Friedman hopes to have . produced 'a recipe for how to culture chicken cells' by the end . of the year. The researchers say their task is more difficult than . producing the first lab-grown hamburger, a $300,000 beef patty . cooked up at Maastricht University in the Netherlands after five . years of research financed by Google co-founder Sergey . Brin. To make the beef burger muscle fibers were grown in the lab from stem cells taken from a cow. These tiny chunks were then combined to make the beef burger. Those who tasted it said it was like meat, but not 'juicy'. Professor Gefen, however, is hoping to make a whole piece of . chicken, starting from a single cell. He said: 'Although it might be possible to get people in richer countries to eat less or shift toward less-intensive meats like chicken, I don't think it's realistic to expect large numbers of people to make drastic reductions. 'Evolution turned us into omnivores. 'But there are reasons to be optimistic. For one thing, the world's appetite for meat may eventually level off. 'Consumption has plateaued and even declined a bit in many rich countries, including France, Germany, and the United States. 'I also believe that innovation will improve our ability to produce meat.' The consumption of meat has met with considerable criticism in recent years as climate change experts have warned about the harm it is doing to the planet. A recent report from Chatham House said that the global livestock industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than cars, planes, trains and ships combined. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change also found that dietary change was also necessary to 'substantially lower' emissions. Lord Stern, the economist appointed by the British government to assess the financial impacts of climate change, has also urged people to give up meat. However, calls for widespread vegetarianism have been deeply unpopular with the general public. Some researchers have also estimated that it takes several thousand litres of water to produce just one kilogram of beef due to the water needed to grow feed for them. Cattle, like those above, and other livestock produce more greenhouse gas globally than transport emissions . Bill Gates has invested some of his fortune into projects aimed at finding sustainable solutions to problems in poverty stricken areas of the world including turning sewage water into clean drinking water (shown above) This makes livestock farming increasingly difficult in areas hit by drought. Cattle grazing can also take valuable land that could be used to grow more affordable agricultural crops. Demand for meat is expected to soar over the next 30 years or so, with global beef consumption rising from 64 million tonnes in 2005 to 106 million tonnes in 2050 according to the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations. It also says pork demand will rise from 100 million tonnes to 143 million tonnes and chicken consumption will increase from 82 million tonnes to 181 million tonnes. However, Mr Gates, who set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation with his wife to fund research into sustainable technology that can tackle poverty around the world, said some of the impacts of meat have been overstated. He points to research that suggests most of the water needed for livestock production is known as green-water, which is used to grow grass. Global demand for beef, like the steak above, is expected to soar to 181 million tonnes by 2050 but Mr Gates says that it should be possible to meet this as some of the environmental impacts of meat are overstated . Most of this green water comes from rainfall and also evaporates back into the atmosphere, meaning it is not lost. He said: 'One study that excluded green water found that it takes just 44 litres – not thousands – to produce a kilo of beef.' Mr Gates has also been funding new research projects aimed at producing meat substitutes and says he has been impressed with the results. Companies like Beyond Meat and Hampton Creek Foods have been experimenting with turning plant proteins into foods that taste and look like meat and eggs. Mr Gates also explains that he once dabbled with being vegetarian himself in his late twenties but found he couldn't keep it going. He argues that meat is an important source of nutrition needed to help children develop healthy and said it was important that people in developing countries have access to these foods. He said: 'With a little moderation and more innovation, I do believe the world can meet its need for meat.'

England suffered an injury scare at the start of their practice 'match' here in St Kitts when Stuart Broad dramatically slipped in his delivery stride and was left clutching his ankle on the floor. Broad had complained about the state of the crease, which was damp after overnight rain, after bowling just three balls of his first over of the day at Warner Park. The groundsmen placed sand on the crease but from the very next delivery Broad slipped and went crashing to the ground, a blow which necessitated lengthy treatment before he left the field.

It added to the sense of farce surrounding what has become a practice session rather than a second match against one of the worst teams England can ever have played. England attempted to make the most of a bad lot when they loaned Jonathan Trott, Gary Ballance and Jonny Bairstow to their opponents to give them additional practice. But the move backfired for Trott who edged Jimmy Anderson to third slip off just the third ball of the day and departed for a duck to follow the 72 he made on his return to England colours on Monday.

Her style is followed by women across the globe and whatever she wears is sure to sell out within minutes. Yet the Duchess of Cambridge has been dismissed as an ‘uneventful’ dresser by leading author Margaret Atwood. And most controversially, the 75-year-old said Kate hasn’t lived up to the fashion icon reputation of her husband’s late mother, Princess Diana. Scroll down for video . The author said Kate (pictured right) hasn’t lived up to the fashion icon reputation of Princess Diana (left) Miss Atwood said she thinks the duchess is cautious when it comes to clothes and is told what to wear by advisers. But she added she is right not to follow in Diana’s footsteps. ‘I think she dresses quite uneventfully,’ the author of The Handmaid’s Tale said. ‘I think she’s watching her back, I think she probably has people who pretty much tell her what is appropriate for her to wear. The Duchess of Cambridge was dismissed as an ‘uneventful’ dresser by leading author Margaret Atwood . ‘I don’t think she’s become the fashion plate that Diana was, and I think she’s probably doing that advisably,wouldn’t you say?’ Miss Atwood is just the latest high-profile female writer to apparently attack the duchess’s image and public persona. Author Margaret Atwood (pictured) said she thinks the duchess is cautious when it comes to clothes and is told what to wear by advisers . Double Booker Prize winner and Wolf Hall author Hilary Mantel has described Kate as a ‘shop window mannequin’ and a ‘machine-made’ princess who has been ‘designed by committee’. Meanwhile Sandi Toksvig has said the duchess doesn’t have a ‘single opinion’ of her own, and Joan Smith caused outrage by labelling Kate ‘unambitious and bland’. Speaking at a talk at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Miss Atwood, who has also won the Booker for The Blind Assassin, admitted she judges women on the clothing they wear. The novelist, who has been described as a feminist writer, said: ‘Let’s pretend you’re meeting a person for the first time, as you do when you meet a character in a book. ‘What do I see? Your dress, I see your face of course, I focus on that. I see your earrings, I see your necklace, and those are all part of you. They are all part of the total image of who I’ve just met.’ Miss Atwood’s latest book Stone Mattress prompted her to be labelled ‘offensive’ and a ‘man hater’ by critics last year. Last month a £35 black polka dot dress from online retailer ASOS sold out within half an hour of Kate wearing it to an event. And in 2013 the £46 Seraphine dress she wore for her first official family portrait with William and Prince George sold out two hours after the photo was published. Miss Atwood said the Duchess of Cambridge is correct not to follow in Diana’s footsteps .

Samantha Crossland escaped a custodial sentence after the £22,000 she admitted stealing from her employer and friend had been repaid in full . The daughter of a millionaire lottery winning couple who stole over £22,000 from a children’s nursery has escaped jail - after the cash was paid back. Samantha Crossland, 30, was pocketing parents’ fees being paid to the Child’s Play day nursery she worked at in a trusted position. She had been told she faced a custodial sentence unless the money was paid back and Crossland - whose parents made over a million on the lotto - handed back the cash. Nursery owner Lynda Quigley confirmed that the amount stolen - £22,642 - had been paid into her bank account on from an “S. Crossland”. It was not clear whether this was Samantha - or her mother Susan Crossland. Crossland had even been promoted to manager at the nursery by its owner who knew her and trusted her. Much of the money was taken from a cash box on the wall that parents left their fees in. Leeds Crown Court court heard that only Crossland and Mrs Quigley had keys to this. It was only when Mrs Quigley returned to the nursery in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire in early 2014, that she became aware of discrepancies in the accounts. In total these came to £22,642. Crossland was arrested and gave four no comment interviews. She later pleaded guilty to one count of theft. The court heard today that Mrs Quigley had received £22,643 via bank transfer on April 22. Crossland, of Mirfield, West Yorkshire was sentenced  to a 12-month community order and 180 hours unpaid work. Recorder Ray Singh said: 'You were in a position of significant trust by Miss Quigley. You were left alone to deal with the money, it is therefore a breach of trust. 'Staff parents and the like were no doubt finding it very difficult to understand what was happening.” Mrs Quigley, who has had the nursery for 14-years, said after the hearing: 'I feel really relieved that I’m finally going to get closure now that the court case has finished and the money taken has been repaid in full. 'I’m happy that justice has been served after what has been a very difficult year. 'But I still have no idea why she did this to me - why a good friend would betray me like this.' Crossland's parents Michael and Susan won more than £1.2 million on the lottery back in July 2008 . The money was stolen by Crossland, pictured,  from the Child's Play nursery in west Yorkshire . Crossland refused to comment on her sentence while leaving court. Crossland’s parents, Susan and Michael, hit the headlines after winning £1.2 million on the lottery in 2008. At the time of their win, mum-of-four Susan said she believed her £1,218,618 windfall was down to her late father Barrie - as she played his numbers each week in the two years since he had died. Speaking in July 2008, she said: She said: 'My win must be fate which is why I saw the feathers and won on his number line. 'During the week before the draw, I was seeing white feathers everywhere and I never know where they come from. 'Just two-days before the win, we were tickling my dog Ruby at home and a white feather just floated down from nowhere and landed on her tummy. I knew it was dad trying to say something. 'I feel he is looking out for me and he would have been so pleased for us. It’s a real shame he isn’t here to share the winnings with us after he helped us to get it.'

The world's longest ever kidney donation chain linked its final donor to ailing recipient last month when a Wisconsin woman became the 34th person whose life was saved by the record-setting program. Mitzi Neyens, 77, was successfully matched with a Philadelphia man after turning to the National Kidney Registry's paired exchange program--her only option since her age barred her from receiving a deceased donor's organ. When she received the kidney March 26, the operation completed a nationwide chain that linked strangers from San Diego to Boston who have loved ones in need with patients desperately in need of a transplant. 32 lives saved: Mitzi Neyens, 77, (left) was the last link in a chain of 34 kidney transplants--the world's longest such chain to date. She received a kidney because her husband Bill gave his kidney to a patient in need . Unbreakable love: Neyens has suffered from kidney disease for most of her 53-year marriage to Bill. She received a kidney March 26 thanks to his generosity . On the day of Neyen's transplant, eight surgeons in four states linked five hospitals through transplants. Neyen, who's battled kidney disease much of her life, received her kidney after her husband--who was not a match for her--gave his kidney to someone else in need. In turn, Neyen received an organ from Matt Crane, 55, who lives outside of Philadelphia, reports ABC News. Crane's wife Michele's Type 1 diabetes caused her to need a new kidney, which she received thanks to her husband's donation. 'If it took for me to give my kidney to somebody in order to get Michele a good healthy kidney, I'm ready to do it,' Crane told ABC, which will air a story about the record-breaking chain on Nightline on Tuesday evening. The last length of this historic chain began at the University of Medical Center in Baltimore when Latwanya Goslee donated a kidney on behalf of her brother, who'd already received a transplant. Her kidney was driven 250 miles to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, where it was transplanted into Gary Watson. A friend of Watson's daughter, 44-year-old paralegal Christine Brock, donated the kidney that allowed Watson to receive a transplant. Her organ was flown 368 miles to New Jersey then picked up by a courier and driven to New York City. Starts with altruism: The chain that ended with Neyes receiving a lifesaving transplant began months prior when Minneapolis attorney Kathy Hart gave a kidney without having a loved one in need of a transplant (FILE) A kidney was then taken from New York to Philadelphia and transplanted into Michele Crane. Her husband Matt's kidney was removed and taken to Madison, Wisconsin via a flight to Chicago and a 133-mile drive. That's where Neyen's received it. Et, voila. As ABC notes, these chains can't start without a donor who gives his or her kidney in exchange for nothing. This particular chain began with Kathy Hart, a Minneapolis attorney, who told ABC her unbelievably altruistic choice was an easy one to make. 'I think the fact that it was to a stranger is one of the parts that people have a really hard time grasping. But it actually even makes it easier,' she said. 'From the very beginning I didn't have an attachment to the outcome or any judgment attached to who gets it or who's deserving… I have an opportunity to give, and why wouldn't I?'

The life-saving trend saves lives by allowing donors to give kidneys to strangers in order for a loved one to receive a kidney . Twenty-six hospitals were involved in the record-setting chain over the course of three months . Wisconsin recipient Mitzi Neyens, 77, became the final link in the chain March 26 .

A mother of two has openly admitted she prefers her younger son boy and says the special bond is caused by his 'special smell' - and sniffs him all the time. Amie Cox, 33, of Victoria made the ready admission of the sensory bond she has for son Alex, 5, over her older boy William, 7, while appearing on an SBS Insight programme about sibling rivalry. Since her revelations surfaced on the Insight website, Ms Cox told Daily Mail Australia she has been attacked and been called 'a freak', but that she is 'a normal loving Mum'. She said that the bond with Alex's scent began from the first moment she held him after giving birth and that for the first six to 12 months of his life she didn't want anyone else to touch him or 'rub their smell on him' because it would interfere with his unique and special smell. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Amie Cox, 33, of Victoria, and her two sons, five-year-old Alex (left) with whom she says she has 'a special smell connection' and sniffs him 'all the time' and William, 7, who she says is more easygoing and has a normal relationship with his younger brother and she loves both boys equally . Since revelations about how she prefers the smell of her younger boy Alex, Amie Cox says she has been attacked on the SBS Insight website, but says he is a 'normal loving Mum' who treats her boys equally and older son William also thinks his brother Alex has 'a special smell' Amie Cox said she bonded to younger son Alex (pictured, right, with his brother William, 7) so strongly after his birth that she 'didn't like people to rub their smell on him by touching him' and that continued for his first six to 12 months, although she is now used to it . Ms Cox's revelations came to light during the taping of the programme when the studio audience was asked whether they had a clear preference for one child over another. Ms Cox didn't hesitate to answer 'Alex'. When the audience and SBS presenters reacted with amusement to her swift reply, Ms Cox said 'People have already ... you can't say that,' she said shrugging. 'If you said choose one to live or die, I wouldn't be able too ... like I love them equally. 'But Alex has a smell that he's had since he was born. I sniff him all the time. There's some sort of smell connection.' The Insight programme is based on research of modern families which shows sibling interactions can have a vital role in teaching children valuable social and life skills, as well as in shaping personality and behaviour. But, the programme researchers said, siblings also routinely get stuck into each other. 'Parents may see this rivalry as part and parcel of the sibling experience, however there is a growing body of research that links early sibling aggression with serious ongoing learning and mental health problems,' Insight says. Amie Cox says five-year-old Alex (left) who has the special smell which she appreciates because of the science of pheromones is 'a terror' while his brother William, 7 (centre) is more easygoing but both boys get the same amount of toys and love and she is a normal mother despite being attacked online as 'a freak' The 33-year-old said attacks on her for admitting she is very attracted to her younger son's scent are 'water off a duck's back' and that 'it doesn't bother me' because she is a good mother who gives her older son William just as many hugs as she does Alex . 'Are such disputes unavoidable, and do tensions always persist into adulthood?' Insight asks 'if competition and conflict between siblings is a good thing, and whether favouritism can affect this.' Ms Cox told Daily Mail Australia that she treats her sons equally and that her older son William also has appreciation for Alex's scent. 'William has the same smell connection with Alex as I do,' she said. 'It's about the science behind pheromones. 'They were on the couch the other day and William said "Alex, isn't his skin so soft and he smells so nice" and of course Alex said get off me. 'Alex is the terror. He's feisty and opinionated like me, while William is well behaved very easygoing and has a different personality. 'They still fight, but there's nothing vicious or violent about it. 'They are like puppies or tiger cubs. They're rowdy, but they're not particularly competitive.' The program also explores how this plays out in families from a culture where there is a hierarchical or gender preference. Guests , sisters Jen Paull and Melanie Colwell described how their perceptions of who was the family favourite affected their relationship with their parents. ' I'd describe her as a role model to me. I grew up basically wanting everything that she had,' Ms Paull said of her sister. 'I don’t think my parents knew how good they had it until they had Jenny,' said Ms Colwell. Brothers Nick and Tom Inatey said their relationship growing up was not competitive. 'We're not the two that are going to go out in the backyard and beat one or the other at . spor,' Nick said of Tom, saying his brother was 'hopeless' at sport. Tom readily agreed, 'Absolutely. That's very true.' Celia Harrison, who is the mother of twins said of her children, 'they’ll compete about who’s got the most cereal in a bowl and they’re measuring glasses to make sure someone doesn’t have more milk that the other one' INSIGHT: Siblings Showdown - Tuesday 7 April, 8.30pm, repeat Wednesday 3.30pm on SBS ONE .

Veteran Leeds prop Kylie Leuluai is facing the prospect of another six weeks on the sidelines after being told he needs shoulder surgery. The 37-year-old New Zealander has not played since the Super League leaders' only defeat at Warrington a month ago but coach Brian McDermott says his injury has now been properly diagnosed. 'We thought his biceps were the problem but he's actually got a bit of floating tissue in his shoulder which he's going to have cleaned out,' McDermott said. Kylie Leuluai faces another six weeks out of action for the Leeds Rhinos after being told he needs surgery . 'He will be out for anything from between four to six weeks.' McDermott had feared Leuluai could be out for three months if he needed a bicep operation. 'It's great news,' McDermott added. 'He has still got an important role to play with us. 'I think we've missed him over Easter, not just the extra body, but some of the direct carries he gives you.'

Paul Gambaccini blamed the presenters' obsession with discussing the sex appeal of pop stars for a slump in ratings . It has been a staple of Sunday night listening for almost 50 years – but now Radio 1's Chart Show has been branded a 'banal failure' by one of the most respected voices in broadcasting. Veteran presenter Paul Gambaccini has blasted the BBC for destroying the Top 40 show by employing 'ignorant' DJs who are more interested in giving vacuous opinions than playing the records. Gambaccini, a respected rock historian, blamed the presenters' obsession with discussing the sex appeal of pop stars for a slump in ratings. The 66-year-old said: 'It is no wonder the Chart Show is a complete failure because it has not accomplished what it was set out to be. It is the news of popular music and, if it is to have any integrity, it should be an objective show. You wouldn't expect Huw Edwards to give his opinion on the news he is reading or to suddenly say 'Isn't Hillary Clinton fit?' The Chart Show has become an extension of its presenter's personality rather than an objective programme.' Gambaccini, a former Radio 1 DJ himself, said he was particularly annoyed about last week's show when host Clara Amfo appeared to dismiss superstar Paul Simon, who had just topped the album charts at the age of 73. The 29-year-old made a passing reference to the star's No 1 album, The Ultimate Collection, before telling listeners to 'ask your dad'. Gambaccini said: 'To me that is an ignorant attitude. You don't disrespect the No 1 album, regardless of who it's by. 'What is the point of saying this is the Top 5 and not playing any of them? That is really stupid. No 1 is No 1. If you don't wish to be authoritative any more you might as well stop. Don't pretend you are important when you are not.' 'Paul Simon has just sold out the O2 with Sting. We are talking about a current major figure in popular music. These are people who will be enjoyed long after our lifetimes as we know and enjoy Beethoven.' The Chart Show has had a presence on Sunday nights in one form or another since the days of Alan 'Fluff' Freeman when Radio 1 launched in 1967. The current version has seen its audience dwindle from a peak of four million in the early 1980s to about 1.2 million. It will end in July, when the chart rundown will become part of Greg James's Friday drivetime show, to reflect changes in the music industry. Gambaccini, who recently returned to Radio 2 after being cleared over historic sex abuse claims, said: 'I wish Greg James well but it will never have the impact being a feature of his programme that it had on a Sunday.' The BBC said: 'The Chart Show is an entertainment programme and as such our DJs present the countdown in a way that is engaging and relevant to our young audience.' In February, Radio 1 was at the centre of another ageism storm after The Mail on Sunday revealed Madonna had been dropped from the playlist. Gambaccini, a former Radio 1 DJ himself, said he was particularly annoyed about last week's show when host Clara Amfo (pictured) appeared to dismiss superstar Paul Simon .

A monster crocodile has been caught devouring a one metre long lizard in one bite at a river. Fishing guide Carol Gleeson watched as the hungry fresh water crocodile swallowed the water monitor whole, which is a type of goanna, at the Mary River near Pine Creek in Northern Territory. After feasting on its' meal, the three-metre reptile noticed Ms Gleeson from a distance before it submerged into the water. 'It was a real shock,' Ms Gleeson told Daily Mail Australia. 'There was only a little bit of the tail hanging out of his mouth, then he saw me a went under.' Ms Gleeson has been living by the Mary River Station for more than 15 years where she runs the Mary River Australian Safaris. With several years of fishing and hunting, Ms Gleeson said she has never witnessed anything like this before despite living near a croc infested location. 'It was amazing - you don't see that very often if ever,' she said. 'I’ve seen a saltwater fella eating a leg of a deer.' A monster crocodile has been caught devouring a one metre long lizard in one bite at a river this week . the hungry fresh water crocodile swallowed the water monitor whole at a river in Northern Territory . Fishing guide Carol Gleeson watched as the hungry fresh water crocodile swallowed the lizard whole . The incident comes just a month after a 4.38 metre croc was caught last month after it had been eating dogs and threatening locals in a Daly River community, NT News reported. The Parks and Wildlife Crocodile Management team trapped the creature near Nauiyu and successfully removed him. Senior ranger Tom Nichols said the animal had been in the area for ‘a couple of weeks’. ‘It was taking dogs from the community and posing a threat to kids in the area,’ he told NT News. ‘A trap was set about a week before the croc was caught.’ The Parks and Wildlife Crocodile Management load the 4.38m crocodile onto a trailer . It took three members of the croc management team and local police to get the half-ton saltie out of the trap. ‘We gave it some drugs, pulled it out of the trap and loaded it up on our skid trailer,’ Mr Nichols said. ‘Some crocs are worse than others but he wasn’t too bad.' ‘We stopped in Adelaide River to wet him down and that gave the local kids, and adults too, a chance to see the croc and ask questions.’ This was the 58th crocodile removed from Top End waters this year. It was later taken to the Darwin Crocodile Farm at Noonamah. The huge crocodile's jaws are taped shut before it is pulled from the trap up to the trailer .

Thousands of chickens and other poultry have been culled following the outbreak of a highly contagious strain of bird flu in India. Officials ordered 250,000 birds to be slaughtered in Telangana after cases of the H5N1 virus were identified, which can be deadly in humans. The virus caused the deaths of nearly 400 people and hundreds of millions of poultry after it spread from Asia into Europe and Africa in 2005-2006. Culled: About 250,000 birds infected with the H5N1 virus are slaughtered in Telangana, India . Since then, India has regularly reported cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild and domestic birds. Veterinary staff from the local government's animal husbandry department carried out the cull - which included destroying hundreds of thousands of infected eggs - at Thorrur village in the Ranga Reddy district. Birds present in poultry farms were slaughtered while the eggs, including those stored in warehouses, were dumped in a pit. Destroyed: Thousands of infected eggs were dumped in a pit and buried following an outbreak of bird flu . Clean up: Authorities ordered the destruction of birds and eggs at farms across Telangana in India following the latest bird flu outbreak . Bird feed stock was burned and the sites were all thoroughly disinfected in a bid to stop the virus from spreading. India has culled 6.4 million birds due to bird flu since 2006. Experts point out that cross-infection to humans is still relatively rare and usually occurs where people have been in close contact with infected birds. But fears remain the aviation flu could combine with a human strain to produce a mutation that is more dangerous and difficult to control. In February, three people were tested for bird flu and 10,000 chickens slaughtered in Britain's first outbreak of the H7N7 strain in seven years. There have been several outbreaks of the H7N7 flu in China and 18 months ago it was found in Italy. During the Italian outbreak in August 2013, three poultry workers became infected with the virus, developing conjunctivitis. More than 1 million chickens and other poultry were culled during the Italian crisis.

James Ward (pictured) was left with a severed finger and wounds all over of his body after being attacked at his home by axe-wielding intruders . A father-of-six who was attacked with an axe lost a finger in the incident which left him needing 38 staples to seal wounds all over his body. James Ward, 31, of Burnley, Lancashire, also had several other fingers partially severed and surgeons were forced to use staples to seal wounds to his head, legs, and back. They managed to reattach his left index finger. Mr Ward is now in hiding and is too afraid to return to his home and see his children because he fears his attackers will kill him if he does. He said: 'I'm too scared to go back. I think they thought the job was done. I have done things in the past but nothing to warrant this attack.' He was painting his kitchen just after midnight when he heard a noise at the front of the house. 'I ran towards the front door and turned to talk to my four friends who were there when the door went through,' he said. 'I was hit in the back with an axe. 'All the others ran upstairs. After they cut my finger off there was a lot of blood so I think panic set in.' As Mr Ward put his hands up to protect himself, his left index finger was chopped off, while several others were also partially severed. The pair then struck him repeatedly on his arms, head, legs, and back. Mr Ward said: 'I'm only a few stone wet through and they could have beaten me up with just their hands. I was on the floor when they hit me in the head with the axe. 'And if the axe had been sharp instead of blunt, they would have chopped my arm off.' 'I don't know why they stopped. They said if I went to the police they would kill me. 'I have done things in the past but nothing to warrant this attack.' Mr Ward is pictured shortly after the attack - he needed 38 staples to seal the wounds all over his body . The frenzy was finally over when Mr Ward dragged himself to safety under a kitchen counter. He stumbled outside and was spotted by a neighbour, who called the emergency services. Mr Ward said: 'I was woozy because I had lost a lot of blood. My neighbour asked if I was all right and I was saying, 'I can't find my finger.' He was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital before being transferred to Preston, where he was kept for treatment and his own safety until his family could fetch him and take him to his hometown of Manchester, where he is now recovering from the ordeal. He said: 'I'm having to get my mum to help me wash. I feel like a child again. 'I feel like crying all the time and I can't go out on my own. I'm too scared to go and see my own children. 'I can't get it out my head. I can't sleep at night and I don't know what to do.' Detectives investigating the attack on Saturday, April 4, are urging anybody with information to come forward as the search for the bloodied weapons continues. Mr Ward is now in hiding and is too afraid to return home because he fears his attackers will kill him . Mr Ward said: 'Near to my house is spare ground, a lot of woodland and the canal so they might have thrown them in there.' Det Sgt Alisa Wilson said: 'This was a horrific attack on a young man in his own home. 'I am appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the offence, the aftermath or has any information in connection with it to make contact. 'Despite charges being brought against one man, the investigation is continuing and I am appealing for witnesses to come forward.' A 23-year-old man appeared before magistrates in Burnley yesterday charged with aggravated burglary and grievous bodily harm. He was remanded in custody and will make his next appearance at Burnley Crown Court at 9.30am on Thursday, May 7. A 22-year-old man was also arrested and was released on bail pending further enquiries. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Anti-Hillary Clinton street art emerged in Brooklyn just hours before Clinton's presidential candidacy announcement on Sunday. The signs feature portraits of Clinton with phrases including 'Dont Say Secretive', 'Don't Say Entitled' and 'Don't Say Ambitious'. The street art appears to be a dig at a group of Clinton supporters who said it would be on the look out for evidence of sexism in reporting about the Democratic politician, according to the Weekly Standard. Last month, the New York Times' Amy Chozick brought attention to the efforts made by the group, which goes by the name of 'HRC Super Volunteers'. The descriptive terms that Clinton's fan club said it does not want applied to their candidate include 'polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere, ambitious, inevitable, entitled' and 'over confident.' Scroll down for videos . Pedestrians walk past an anti-Hillary Clinton poster that says 'Don't Say Secretive' across the street from the purported Clinton campaign headquarters on Sunday in Brooklyn, New York . Another anti-Hillary Clinton poster that says 'Don't Say Entitled' is affixed to a traffic light across the street from Clinton campaign headquarters where her growing staffers began working on Friday . The posters are said to have appeared in Brooklyn on Saturday night near her campaign's new headquarters in the borough, where staffers began working on Friday. It is not known who created or posted the Brooklyn street art. Following Clinton's announcement on Sunday, a hashtag on Twitter also began trending called #WhyImNotVotingForHillary. In this image taken from video posted to hillaryclinton.com on Sunday, Hillary Rodham Clinton announces her campaign for president . A wave of users began using the hashtag giving their reasons for why they would not be voting for the Democratic candidate. One user wrote: '#WhyImNotVotingForHillary #benghazi plus I can't think of anything good she has done.' Another Twitter user wrote: '#WhyImNotVotingForHillary because my vote is based on candidate w integrity, forthrightness & beliefs close to mine, none of which she has.' Following Clinton's announcement on Sunday afternoon, a hasthag on Twitter began trending called #WhyImNotVotingForHillary. Above a user wrote he would not be voting for Clinton because of Benghazi . Another user wrote: 'My vote is based on candidate w integrity, forthrightness & beliefs close to mine, none of which she has' while using the anti-Hillary hashtag . Other users wrote that they are not voting for Hillary because they said 'we need more people like Reagan'. The trending hashtag appears to be started by 19-year-old Markeece Young from North Carolina who rallied users on Saturday night to make it trend on Sunday following Clinton's announcement that she was running for president. On Facebook he wrote: 'Well when I heard Hillary was announcing her campaign on Twitter I came up with the Idea to create ‪#‎WhyImNotVotingForHillary‬ it's simple but very powerful. It was the #1 trending hashtag in America for about 3 hours. On Saturday, user @YoungBLKRepub also known as Markeece Young wrote on Twitter to get the hashtag trending on Sunday when Clinton was scheduled to announce she was running for president . 'The Hillary Clinton campaign had it removed, that's right Hillary Clinton's campaign can delete the #1 hashtag in America for a cost of money. 'I'm proud that people helped me make a statement, I can say I've been causing Hillary problems since day one of her campaign. How many people can say they started the #1 hashtag in the USA and had it deleted by Hillary herself?' Clinton made her presidential campaign announcement on Sunday afternoon leaning on a message of middle-class rescue and claims that America's economy is 'still stacked in favor of those at the top,' according to the campaign video.

The posters feature a portrait of Clinton with phrases including 'Don't Say Ambitious' and 'Don't Say Entitled' Street art appears to be a dig at Clinton supporters who said words like 'entitled' and 'secretive' which are used to describe her, are sexist . On Sunday, anti-Hillary Clinton users shared on Twitter reasons why they will not vote for her using the hashtag that began trending online .

Follow your heart. That's the advice of Carl Jenkinson to Jack Grealish as the young Aston Villa star weighs up his international future. The West Ham defender, on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season, knows the predicament that faces the teenager torn between representing the Republic of Ireland or England. Jenkinson has experienced an identical international limbo before. Carl Jenkinson (left) says Jack Grealish should follow his heart when choosing Ireland or England . In 2012, a year after his big move from Charlton to the club he supported as a boy - Arsenal - the Essex-born full-back chose the Three Lions despite having played for Finland, the nation of his mother, at Under 18 and Under 21 level. It wasn't a decision Jenkinson took lightly, but it is one he firmly believes was the right decision. And now the Hammers star, 23, is advising boy-of-the-moment Grealish to also do what feels right for him. 'You’ve got to follow your heart,' he said, speaking exclusively to Sportsmail. 'Follow where you feel like you belong and play for them. That would be my advice. 'That’s what I did with the whole England-Finland situation. Finland were great to me when I was younger and I really enjoyed playing for them. The Aston Villa midfielder (centre right) has been an instant hit since breaking into the first team . 'It was a great experience at the time because I was playing against some of the best teams in the world. I was only in the Charlton reserves yet I was going off to be against all these different countries. It was fantastic for me and I really enjoyed it. 'But then it came to a crunch time where I had to pick and I had to ask myself: "What do I feel – English or Finnish?" The answer was English. I was born in England and I feel English, so that was the decision I made. 'I don’t know Jack but my advice to him would be to follow what feels right. I’m sure he will.' The clock is ticking for Grealish to make up his mind with Ireland boss Martin O'Neill understood to be keen to include him in his plans for the friendly against Roy Hodgson's England in Dublin this summer. The young winger played for Ireland at youth level but can still play for the England senior side . Jenkinson's superb form at West Ham this season has propelled him back into the international reckoning, meanwhile. An established fixture in the Under 21s set-up, the towering defender has earned calls to reclaim a place in the senior side. He is patient, however, despite his burning desire to add to the one cap he collected against Sweden almost three years ago when he came on as a substitute. Jenkinson harbours an ambition to lead his country to glory at this summer's Under 21s European Championships in Czech Republic, hoping to catch Hodgson's eye with next year's senior Euros not far away. Jenkinson was in the same predicament as Grealish when he had to choose between Finland and England . 'It is a massive opportunity for us,' he said. 'I think Roy Hodgson will be watching all the games and having a keen look at all the players. The senior Euros are a year after, so this will be a great chance for us to go and impress. 'When I speak to the lads, because I stay in touch with quite a few of them, everyone can’t wait for it. 'It’s a massive stage and something that we’ve worked hard for. We’re confident in ourselves. We feel that we can go there and really give it a good go. Roy Hodgson and his staff are believed to be fans of the young winger and want him to commit to England . 'We’ve shown in the friendlies we’ve played recently, like against Germany and Czech Republic, and we’ve beaten them. We know we can do it. It’s just about going there this summer and reproducing it. 'Obviously that’s something in the past that we’ve struggled with as a nation. But what a better time to change it and what a great thing it would be to go and win it.' For now, Jenkinson is focused on revitalising West Ham's season. Having started so impressively, reaching the top four at Christmas, the wheels have fallen off since the turn of the New Year. Jenkinson took part in a short film for Betway promoting #HammersAtTheArrers competition . In their past 11 Premier League games, the Hammers have won only once - and that was courtesy of a last minute winner at home to struggling Sunderland a month ago. The Hammers play QPR at Loftus Road on Saturday, their London rivals who are fighting for their lives at the foot of the table. Jenkinson expects it won't be a pretty affair but is confident Sam Allardyce's side can produce the goods to kickstart their charge for an eighth place finish. Manager Sam Allardyce also took part and he can be seen preparing to throw a dart . Joey O'Brien (from left), Winston Reid and Kevin Nolan laugh at their team-mates attempts . 'Team like QPR are probably even harder than playing teams who are in the top half at this stage. It’s always the same towards the end of the season,' he said. 'They all pick up points because they’re fighting for their lives at the end of the day – now we’ve got to be aware of that and we need to be ready for that. 'It’s going to be a proper scrap at the weekend. But we’ll have to dig in if we want to get a result. Diego Poyet looks on as he attempts to score high in the Betway darts competition at the training ground . Jenkinson showed he's not just a bad footballer with some impressive dart scoring . 'I think Swansea are only four points ahead of us. They’re in eighth. That would be a fantastic season if we could finish in eighth. 'Of course, you just want to finish in the top half. Anything below that would be a disappointment, especially considering how we started and I think everyone would agree with that. 'That eighth place is within reach.’ Jenkinson's club future remains uncertain beyond this season but he appears to be happy at the Hammers. He took part in the club's darts competition, organised by the club's sponsors Betway, who also front the Premier League Darts, earlier this week - and you can watch the footage exclusively at Sportsmail, here. Carl Jenkinson was speaking exclusively to MailOnline at the launch of Betway’s #HammersAtTheArrers competition. West Ham fans are invited to come up with darts nicknames for their favourite players to be in with a chance of meeting the team at the PDC Betway Premier League Darts final at the O2 on May 21.

A Massachusetts man was arrested after police found two homes full of bomb-making materials. Joseph T. Brennan Jr. of Norwell tried to hide from the cameras as he was arraigned from his hospital bed on Monday, pleading not guilty to possession of an infernal device. This after authorities searched the residences following an incident on Saturday night in which Brennan accidentally blew up his car while smoking a cigarette and police discovered 'various bomb-making components.' Scroll down for video . Joseph T. Brennan Jr. (above) of Norwell, Massachusetts was found with a home full of bomb-making materials . Police searched the home after an incident Saturday night where Brennan blew up his car (above) while smoking a cigarette near gun powder . 'I’m an idiot. I lit a cigarette with the gunpowder in the front seat,' Brennan said in the police report according to the Boston Herald. The blast left the man with minor injuries and he was admitted to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Brennan, with singed eyebrows and bandaged hands, said he did not want to be on "TV" as he was being arraigned Monday afternoon, trying to hide his face and singed eyebrows with a towel. In addition to Brennan's home in Norwell, the condo of Benjamin Young in Hingham was also found to be full of bomb-making devices. Police have not revealed at this time the relationship between the two men. Hazardous materials team responded to both locations and were able to remove and safely detonate some of the materials. Authorities do not believe the two men had any ties to terrorism. Brennan, who called himself an 'idiot' after blowing up his car, was arraigned from his hospital bed on Monday . Police searched the car Saturday night and seized 14 different substances . Just last month, Brennan posted a video to his Facebook page that showed what he claimed was rocket propellant being used to melt snow. He wrote; 'When people say it's not rocket science I get disappointed here's a variation of solid rocket propellant used in the retired space shuttles solid rocket boosters I think I'm in the wrong profession.' A witness to Saturday's car accident told police they heard a loud explosion and saw Brennan laying on the road as his car rolled towards a guardrail. Brennan then got up and gathered some materials and put them in his trunk according to the witness. Police searched the vehicle after noticing how burned Brennan was, and according to the police report he told officers on the scene when they found the materials; 'I got them from a friend to fu*k around with. I wasn’t going to do anything malicious.' ABC 5 reports that among the substances found in the car were potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide and acetone and containers full of sodium chlorate, picric acid and sulfur. Brennan, 36, will be charged with possession of a destructive device, and one part possession of components capable of making a component device, while Young, 27, is facing charges for being in possession of illegal possession of bomb-making materials. No members of the public were ever in danger according to police and it does not appear that these materials were intended to be used to hurt any individuals.

Tina Fey's husband has spoken over the suicide of a celebrity dermatologist who killed himself in the wake of a 'bullying' TV series which apparently parodied him for laughs. Jeff Richmond, who is an executive producer and the music composer on his wife's show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, described the death of Fredric Brandt, 65, on Sunday as 'very sad', speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Online. It came as sources close to Brandt said the doctor, who suffered from depression, told People magazine he was 'definitely hurt' by an apparent portrayal of himself on the Netflix show. The friend called the Kimmy Schmidt send up 'bullying,' but added that it did not cause his suicide. Brandt was found hanged in the garage of his Miami mansion on Sunday morning. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the police report. The character in question, Dr Franff, had a high-pitched laugh, a speech impediment and absurd habits like drinking from a surgical bag. His face appears to be a grotesque exaggeration of Brandt's own appearance. Scroll down for videos . Speaking out: Jeff Richmond, left in New York City today, spoke out today over the death of Dr Fredric Brandt. The plastic surgeon was reportedly upset over his portrayal in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which Richmond's wife Tina Fey, right, created and for which Richmond has producing credits . Dr Fredric Brandt (left) has a striking resemblance to Dr Franff (right), a character on Tina Fey's Netflix show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. He was reportedly devastated by the portrayal . Sources were today opening up about how Brandt was wounded by the characterization - though they said that this suicide could not be pinned on one insulting TV show. A friend speaking People said: 'It was making fun of him for the way he looked and it was mean and it was bullying. '...It wasn't the only thing troubling him, it was just one factor. It definitely hurt him. He was absolutely upset, who would want that? But that was not why he committed suicide. But it didn't help. Another source, speaking to the New York Daily News, said that Brandt had become fixated on his appearance and cried in front of patients. The source said: 'He worked 15-hour days, his office was jam-packed, and I paid him a compliment. He was so sensitive he started to cry. He said how awful the public was, and how mean people are. He was really affected by negative feedback.' When DailyMail.com asked Richmond about Brandt's death near his home in New York City's Upper West Side, he said he hadn't been aware of it. He said: 'That's very sad. I don't know anything about it. I just got home. Tina might know, I don't. She's not home.' Brandt was highly-regarded for his cosmetic work across the industry, with high-profile stars including Madonna, Stephanie Seymour and Kelly Ripa. The doctor was found dead at his Coconut Grove mansion in Miami where he lived alone with his dogs. A male friend who was staying at the home out of concern for the doctor called 911 at 9.17am, according to a police statement. He had last seen Brandt on the Saturday night. The police report stated that the victim was suffering from depression and was currently taking medication for it. He had also been seeking daily treatment from a psychiatrist.

Marc Jacobs and Dr Brandt pictured after lunching at Pastis restaurant in The Meatpacking District of New York City in June 2009 . In a 2014 profile in The New York Times, he said that his goal was to 'restore the face to harmony'. 'I approach each face with a visual perception, an artistic perception and a medical perception,' he said. The article, which described the doctor as an 'unnervingly ageless-looking personage', said that he was sought out by the rich and famous for his signature Y lifts, where fillers are injected below the cheekbones. It was also widely known that Dr Brandt injected products including Botox, Restylane, Perlane, Juvéderm, Voluma, The Times reported, into his own face, erasing his wrinkles, leaving him with full lips and an ageless quality.

Don't know: Richmond said he didn't know anything about the death, and suggested questions be directed to his wife Tina Fey . The doctor told The Times that people often asked him if he was from Sweden. Brandt grew up in Weequahic neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey where his parents ran a candy store. His father died when he was a teenager and he lost his mother before he graduated from Rutgers University in 1971. He went on to attend Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia. He completed residencies at NYU's Department of Internal Medicine and then in Dermatology at the University of Miami. He set up a practice in Coral Cables, Miami in 1982 and began part-time work in New York in 1998 but quickly expanded to become one of the most in-demand cosmetic appointments. Security was tight in the gated entrance to Dr Brandt's Miami home on Sunday. His publicist declined to comment on the circumstances or cause of death . He would sometimes see around 30 patients a day at his midtown Manhattan offices, which is filled with expensive art works, for appointments costing thousands of dollars. Brandt was considered as the number one injector of Botox and Restylane filler in the world. The doctor was regarded by his peers as a pioneer in the field and often gave lectures on the use of products. Dr Brandt also has a range of high-end dermatological products. A 1.35 oz 'Do Not Age with Dr. Brandt' Transforming Pearl Serum costs $150. He wrote two books about his work, '10 Minutes/10 Years: Your Definitive Guide to a Beautiful and Youthful Appearance' and 'Age-less: The Definitive Guide to Botox, Collagen, Lasers, Peels, and Other Solutions for Flawless Skin'. Along with his Miami mansion, Dr Brandt had a luxury apartment on the West Side of Manhattan with sweeping views of the Hudson River and filled with the esteemed art collection. Representatives for Dr Brandt and Fey have yet to responded DailyMail.com's request for comments. A Netflix spokesman declined to comment. Dr Brandt had famed practices (pictured) in Miami and Manhattan. In a 2014 profile, he said that his goal was to 'restore the face to harmony' Abravanel said that sources told her Dr Brandt was 'devastated' over comparisons to the enthusiastic doctor on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt . The plastic surgeon, Dr Franff, in the Netflix comedy, is played by comedy veteran Martin Short and had drawn unflattering comparisons to real-life Dr Brandt. In one scene, where the lead character Kimmy almost gets plastic surgery, the doctor is seen drinking from a hamster feeder . Martin Short had a small role as Dr Franff in one episode of the TV show's first season. When he is punched by the main character, Kimmy, as she struggles to escape the plastic surgeon's chair, his face dents like putty - which he then inflates with an air tube . Dr Franff appears in episode four of the first and only season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. He's a botox-loving plastic surgeon played by Martin Short. The show follows a Kimmy (Ellie Kemper), who was rescued from an underground bunker after years of being held hostage by a cult leader. She then is hired to be a nanny for the step-children of socialite Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski). In the fourth episode of the show, Jacqueline visits Dr Franff to discuss a 'foot lift' of sorts because she believes that 'feet are the new butts'. In the fourth episode of the Netflix show's first and only season, Dr Franff makes a short appearance as a cosmetic doctor who consults with Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) and Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski, pictured) Dr Franff's almost-overly smooth skin and platinum blond hair share a resemblance with that of Dr Fredric Brandt, who is known for being the cosmetic dermatologist of stars including Madonna and Stephanie Seymour. Franff is portrayed as a deranged doctor, whose face is so frozen from plastic surgery and other procedures that he even has trouble forming words at times. In the episode, he cheerily suggests several barbaric-sounding surgeries for Jacqueline, as well as on Kimmy. Franff's platinum blond hair and tight skin have a stark resemblance to that of cosmetic dermatologist Fredric Brandt .

Under pressure: Tony Cocker, the chief executive of E.ON, which has been forced to pay £7.75million to Citizens Advice after the regulator found the energy giant had overcharged customers after price rises . Power giant E.on has been ordered to pay a £7.75million penalty after it ripped off customers who were switching to rivals. The money will go to Citizens Advice to fund the organisation’s work helping those trying to cut their energy bills. E.on effectively overcharged thousands who decided to move to other suppliers after it announced price rises in January 2013 and again in early 2014. Industry rules state that energy companies must give customers 30 days’ notice of any price rise. Once a customer states they intend to move, the firm is not allowed to impose an exit fee or apply the new higher tariff even if the move takes place after the date of the increase. However, industry regulator Ofgem found that E.on broke the rules by hitting tens of thousands of departing customers with a higher tariff in the days before their account was switched. The firm admitted the mistake as far as customers who paid by direct debit or cheque were concerned. However, it failed to notify Ofgem that it also affected people with meters until late in the investigation. It has refunded £8 to £12 to 40,000 customers who paid by cash or cheque and is now trying to find another 7,000 meter customers to pay them an average of £3.42. While the sums involved are relatively low, Ofgem imposed a high penalty because E.on did the same thing in January 2012. At that time, it was ordered to refund £1.4million to customers and pay £300,000 in lieu of a penalty to Age UK. The firm claimed it had implemented new procedures to stop it happening again, but was guilty of the same mistake in both 2013 and 2014. 'Absolutely unacceptable': Regulator Ofgem said the penalty reflected E.ON's 'repeated failings' on billing rules after the company incorrectly imposed exit fees and overcharged customers . Ofgem’s enforcement chief, Sarah Harrison, said: ‘Our rules give customers a chance to avoid exit fees and higher costs when suppliers put up prices. These are important customer protections and it is vital suppliers play by the rules. The energy regulator has imposed fines on energy companies totalling £168 million since 2010. Britain's Big Six energy suppliers are responsible for £99million of the payments, with British Gas the worst offender among them with their figure totalling £34.6million. E.ON has been fined £24.8million in total. The payments are as follows: . November 2012: E.ON agrees to pay out £1.7million to customers and charities after customers were incorrectly charged exit fees or overcharged following price rises. July 2013: The company agrees a £3million package of fines and money for customers after it misreported the number of energy-saving light bulbs it had distributed under an energy efficiency scheme. May 2014: E.ON agrees to pay £12million to vulnerable customers for mis-selling. April 2015: The company agrees to pay £7.75million to Citizens Advice to help vulnerable customers in addition to £400,000 already paid to those affected, after it was found to have overcharged in the wake of price rises. ‘It is important that E.on has repaid potentially affected customers and co-operated with the investigation. However it’s absolutely unacceptable that it failed to provide these vital customer protections yet again and this persistent failure is the reason for the high penalty.’ Citizens Advice chief executive Gillian Guy said the ruling should send a warning to other firms. ‘Consumer rights cannot be ignored,’ she said. ‘Customers shouldn’t be trapped in higher bills. With prices up a third since 2010 people must have the freedom to shop around for a better deal. ‘Consumers must be confident that the regulator will take strong action when companies fail so this judgment is welcome news. ‘It is positive that the Ofgem penalty will go towards helping people who are struggling to heat and light their homes.’ E.on apologised and has agreed to fund an independent external audit into what went wrong. A spokesman said: ‘We have been open and transparent about this failure to Ofgem and have agreed to make a payment to Citizens Advice which will be used to support its Energy Best Deal Extra engagement programme, which provides face to face energy advice. ‘E.on is committed to ensuring that no one will lose out financially and is pleased that the payment is going to a worthwhile cause that will provide support to those in need.’

Taxes will be £12billion a year higher under Labour than the Tories, independent experts warned yesterday – equal to £1,052 for every working household. The Institute for Fiscal Studies said Ed Miliband's 'vague' promise to balance the books would allow Labour to borrow £90billion more than the Tories by 2020. This would rise to £280billion in extra debt by the end of the next decade if Labour remained in power. Institute for Fiscal Studies said Ed Miliband's 'vague' promise to balance the books would allow Labour to borrow £90billion more than the Tories by 2020 and this would rise to £280b in extra debt by the next decade . David Cameron said the assessment showed Labour was 'a risk to our recovery, a risk to our economy, a risk to jobs' The think-tank warned that Labour's failure to control borrowing would leave Britain 'less well placed to deal with future adverse events', such as another recession or the costs of an ageing population. But it was also highly critical of the lack of detail in the Conservatives' plans, saying the party had failed to spell out where it would find tens of billions of pounds in cuts. In a withering verdict, it said all the main parties were keeping voters 'in the dark' about what they would do, adding: 'None of the parties has provided anything like full details of their fiscal plans for each year of the coming parliament.' IFS director Paul Johnson said: 'All the parties have told us where they are going to increase spending on things like health, but none have said much about where the pain is going to fall.' He said the gap between the parties' plans was 'bigger than any time since 1992' – giving voters a clear choice between more taxes, spending or borrowing. Conservative plans require Whitehall cuts of £30billion, while Labour could get away with savings of just £1billion. Carl Emmerson, deputy director of the IFS, added: 'The electorate has a real choice, although it can at best see only the broad outlines of that choice.' The IFS said Labour's plans were broadly compatible with those of its potential post-election partners in the SNP. The Scottish nationalists want to spend an extra £4billion on benefits. But in an unflattering assessment, the IFS said there was a 'significant disconnect' between its anti-austerity rhetoric and its plans. Labour said the think-tank had made 'wrong assumptions' about its plans. Ed Balls said: 'The IFS has confirmed that the Tories are committed to the most extreme spending plans of any political party, with bigger cuts than any other advanced economy in the next three years' One in ten cancer sufferers need care at home but do not get any support, figures revealed today. It means there are around 160,000 cancer sufferers in the UK left housebound by a lack of support. The shocking statistics were released by Labour as they attacked the 'crisis' in elderly care. Separate figures show three-quarters of councils are subjecting vulnerable pensioners to care visits lasting only 15 minutes. Labour said it would end 'time-limited' 15-minute visits by changing the system of paying for care by taking into consideration all of a patient's health needs, rather than costing them separately. The party is also committed to allowing the terminally ill with the 'greatest care needs' to have the right to die in their own homes. The cancer figures were taken from a report by Macmillan cancer support which warned of sufferers left housebound, unable to wash or dress themselves – even at risk of soiling themselves – because of a lack of care. The Daily Mail has highlighted the scandal of hundreds of thousands of frail, elderly people facing 'clock-watch' care visits with its Dignity for the Elderly campaign. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said he is developing new commissioning standards which will discourage 15-minute visits. Mr Miliband has promised to balance day-to-day government spending by 2020 – leaving Labour free to continue borrowing around £30billion a year for 'investment'. By contrast, the Conservatives want to clear the deficit in three years and start paying off Britain's £1.5trillion debt mountain. David Cameron said the assessment showed Labour was 'a risk to our recovery, a risk to our economy, a risk to jobs'. But the IFS also raised major questions about the Tories' spending plans. It said they involved 'substantial and almost entirely unspecified spending cuts and tax increases', and warned they could mean 'further real cuts to unprotected departments of around £30billion'. Tory plans for £12billion in welfare cuts have also not been spelled out in any detail. The IFS said the Lib Dems deserved a 'small tick' for being the most transparent – although they were also criticised for failure to spell out £12billion of planned spending cuts. Chancellor George Osborne said: 'Saving money means taking the difficult decisions so we reduce our debt and keep our economy out of crisis and on an even keel.' But Mr Balls said: 'The IFS has confirmed that the Tories are committed to the most extreme spending plans of any political party, with bigger cuts than any other advanced economy in the next three years.' Nick Clegg said it confirmed the Tories plan a 'cuts bombshell', adding: 'We will cut substantially less than the Conservative plan to cut many public services to the bone and borrow less than the reckless plan from Labour.' All three of the main parties' education spokesmen revealed they would have no problem with the next education secretary sending their children to private school. The BBC's Daily Politics presenter Andrew Neil asked the trio if such a choice would be 'acceptable for an education secretary'. Labour's Tristram Hunt, who was privately educated, said: 'Yes. In certain circumstances.' Two of his three children go to a state primary school in North London, with the third expected to go to the same school. But he has not ruled out switching them to independent schools. Privately educated Schools Minister David Laws – who has no children – immediately said 'yes' to the question. And Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, who was privately educated but sends her son to a state primary school, replied: 'Yes, you do what's right for the child.' Ukip's Jonathan Arnott and the Green Party's James Humphreys also agreed there was no problem with a future education secretary sending their children private – though Mr Arnott added it would be an 'indictment' of the quality of state schools. Only 7 per cent of children in the UK are privately educated. Ukip has pledged to bring back grammar schools by converting some comprehensives, but Mrs Morgan said it would be a 'step backwards'. The rare frankness about whether they would opt for a private education for their children is in stark contrast to the controversy sparked by Labour Left-winger Diane Abbott sending her son to the exclusive fee-paying City of London School. Miss Abbott had previously criticised Harriet Harman, now Labour's deputy leader, for sending her children to a selective grammar school. Many politicians on the Left have managed to get their children into elite state schools. Both Tony Blair – who converted to Catholicism after standing down – and atheist Nick Clegg, bagged places at leading London Oratory for their children. Both men are married to Catholics.

The Brazilian defender is out of contract this summer, sparking rumours about his future . He told beIN Sports: 'I am very happy at Barcelona and I have not signed with anyone. 'In life, you have to be thankful. Barca are a club that changed my life, made me realise all my dreams. I'll get to the end of my contract with the same ambition as when I came here.' 'If the club asks me to look for another alternative, then I'll look at the other options. But for now, this is not the case. I stay focused on the end of the season because I'm still a competitor. A decision will be made at the end of the season.' The likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing Alves . Speaking last week, Dinorah Santana, the player's agent and ex-wife, said at a press conference that her client had rejected the offer of a three-year contract extension, which was dependent on the player taking part in 60 per cent of matches for the club. 'The negotiations are over,' she said. 'If they say this is the final offer, then they (negotiations) are over. 'It doesn't make sense. It's very hard that we get to April and Barcelona haven't thought about renewing Dani's contract.

After the launch, Aguero sat down for a Q&A where he spoke about his side's chances of catching Chelsea. He said: 'You say it is only 5 matches, but a lot can happen in these games. We will work hard to finish as well as possible.' The Argentinian also praised his opponent for giving him a tough game during the unusual encounter. 'I have to admit, that guy is really talented, so my lead lasted unfortunately only a few seconds,' he added. 'I love this pitch and it's really fun, especially when playing against some new players who you don't get to meet every day in training.' The square pitch had four different goals that opened and closed to make it harder for the players . Reus has been heavily linked with a move away from Dortmund and could follow Jurgen Klopp out of the club . Germany international Reus also praised Aguero and really enjoyed playing on the difficult pitch. He said: 'I am sure you can see it in the film, but I can re-assure you that Agüero really gave me a hard time. He is so quick and so ambitious and it was definitely hard to keep up with him. 'The switching goals were challenging in the beginning, but once it clicked, it is a really cool concept, because you can never really anticipate what happens next. This was definitely one of the best things I have done with Puma so far.' You can buy the Puma evoSpeed 1.3 from www.prodirectsoccer.com.

The former head of the NHS warned Labour yesterday that its failure to match Tory pledges to invest in the Health Service would leave it in a ‘financial hole’. Sir David Nicholson is the latest expert to warn that Ed Miliband’s plans will not provide enough cash to keep the service going. He was branded the ‘Man with No Shame’ after refusing to resign over the Mid Staffs scandal which led to 1,200 needless deaths. Sir David: The former head of the NHS's criticism of Labour threatens to demolish its claim to be the champion of the NHS . Published in The Daily Mail, February 7, 2013 . The lifelong bureaucrat had led the West Midlands Strategic Health Authority, which oversaw Mid Staffs, before Labour appointed him to run the NHS in 2006. Sir David stayed in the top job, insisting he did not know what went on at Mid Staffs, until retiring in April last year with a pension pot worth almost £2 million. His replacement as chief executive Simon Stevens drew up a £30billion five-year rescue package called Forward View which the Conservatives and Lib Dems have both pledged to implement. It involves the NHS finding £22billion in savings but also needs an extra £8billion funding by 2020. Labour has paid lip service to the plan, promising just £2.5billion. Sir David said: ‘All of the parties now I think, bar Labour, have signed up to the £8billion so it’s important, obviously, we get all the political parties signed up. ‘They haven’t said the £8billion, it would be helpful, I think, for the NHS if they did.’ His comments add to a chorus of criticism over Labour’s health plans. Mike Dixon, a leading GP and chairman of the NHS Alliance, said he was ‘extremely worried by the lack of political consensus around the £8billion funding’. He added: ‘NHS leaders have been clear that this is the minimum amount needed to maintain current service provision. It’s not rocket science to predict the impact on the NHS if this commitment is not met. ‘Patients would face longer waits, services would face severe cuts and rationing, and many hospitals and GP practices would struggle to survive in their current form.’ Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Labour must explain why it won't find the money the NHS 'says it needs' Chris Ham, chief executive of the King’s Fund think-tank, said: ‘The big question is about funding, with Labour the only one of the three main parties not to have pledged to find the £8billion in additional funding called for in the NHS five-year Forward View. ‘Given this is the minimum if the NHS is to continue to meet patient needs and maintain standards of care, this leaves a significant gap at the heart of its plans.’ Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: ‘Labour must explain why they won’t find the money the NHS says it needs. ‘They don’t have a plan for the economy and that means they’ll never be able to fund the NHS.’ Sir David warned that the scale of the impending cash crisis was so great that the Tories and Lib Dems would have to rein in plans to expand services, despite being committed to the £8billion. His criticism of Labour threatens to demolish its claim to be the champion of the NHS. The party has run a controversial poster campaign claiming the Conservatives would cut the NHS ‘to the bone’. But senior figures have confirmed that Labour would not match Tory spending plans. Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said a planned shake-up of NHS services by Labour meant the ‘funding gap...may be smaller’.

Jose Mourinho insists Eden Hazard is in a one-horse race to scoop the player of the season award. The Chelsea forward has been outstanding this season and will be a leading contender to claim both the PFA and Football Writers' awards next month. The Belgian will face stiff competition, namely from Tottenham's Harry Kane, but Mourinho claims anyone who tips a player other than Hazard is merely making mischief. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is backing his forward Eden Hazard (right) to win Player of the Year awards . Mourinho believes that 'it shouldn't even be a debate' that Hazard should claim the top prizes this season . Hazard has been in superb form for Chelsea this season and instrumental to their title charge . Mourinho insists that Hazard will be able to fend off competition from the likes of Spurs' Harry Kane (centre) 'It shouldn't even be a debate,' said Mourinho. 'If somebody throws other names on the table, it's because he wants to sell papers, get more clicks or throw some sand into people's eyes, because this player is by far the best player in the season.' Hazard is likely to feature at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday but Diego Costa will miss four weeks after aggravating a hamstring injury against Burnley last weekend. It means the striker will miss clashes with Manchester United and Arsenal. Mourinho is prepared to risk the availability of Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic — both one booking away from a two-match ban — for the matches against Chelsea's rivals, saying: 'We try not to get a yellow card during the match, to play football. We know (the risks), but the game is a three-point game.' Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Wallace — on loan at Vitesse Arnhem — has been arrested on suspicion of an offence in a nightclub. The Dutch club refused to comment on the nature of the alleged offence, but a police spokesman was quoted by local media stating it was 'sexual'. Wallace was later released without charge.

(CNN)Tejano star Selena, who died 20 years ago, is coming back in a big way: with a hologram-like figure. Billboard reports that the singer's family is creating a version of the singer that will be "walking, talking, singing and dancing digital embodiment" of her persona. "By no means is this something that's creepy or weird," her sister, Suzette Quintanilla, told Billboard. "We think it's something amazing. A lot of the new fans that did not get to experience what Selena was about hopefully will be able to get a sense of her with this new technology that's going to be coming out." Selena: 20 years after her death . The technology is being handled by Acrovirt LLC, a Nevada-based tech company. "Using detailed individual personalized functions spanning the mind, brain and body, the individual's Digitized Human Essence will autonomously learn and react on behalf of its human counterpart's," the company explained. The project is being called "Selena the One." Twenty years after she was killed by her fan club president, Selena remains incredibly popular, with her Facebook page recording 2 million likes and fans continuing to post videos and tributes. Selena will be the first figure to use the Acrovirt technology, Quintanilla said. "I'm excited at the fact that she will be the first ever, and the fact that she's a Latina makes it even more awesome," she said. "It's not about replacing Selena in any shape, way or form; it's just something to help her legacy continue growing." The family intends to expand her legacy in another way: with some new music. Selena the One "will release new songs and videos, will collaborate with current hit artists, and aims to go on tour in 2018," said a statement on Selena's Facebook page. Selena isn't the first performer to try the virtual route. A Michael Jackson hologram appeared at the Billboard Music Awards in 2014, and a hologram of Tupac Shakur performed at Coachella in 2012. But the new technology is a step forward, Quintanilla said. "People don't realize how fast technology is moving," she told Billboard. "This is something that we're building for another two to three years, so when 2018 comes around they'll be like, 'Oh, OK, we get it.' " Fans can join an Indiegogo campaign, www.selenatheone.com, to support the launch. The campaign, which hopes to raise $500,000, begins April 16. The commemorative Fiesta de la Flor in Corpus Christi, Texas -- which celebrates her life -- is scheduled for April 17 and 18. CNN's Katia Hetter contributed to this story.

It's well known that exercise can make your muscles bigger. Now, a study has found it may make your brain larger, too. Physical activity can increase grey matter in the brain, increasing the size of areas that contribute to balance and coordination, according to Health Day news. The changes in the brain may have health implications in the long-term, such as reducing the risk of falling, said the study's author, Dr Urho Kujala, of the University of Jyvaskyla. Scroll down for video . Exercise can increase the size of areas of the brain that contribute to balance and coordination, a study found . It could also reduce the risk of being immobile in older age, he added. Dr Kujala said physical activity has already been linked to a number of health benefits, such as lower levels of body fat, reduced heart disease risk factors, better memory and thinking, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. But he and his team wanted to understand how exercise affects the brain. They recruited 10 pairs of identical twins, who were all men aged 32 to 36 years. Focusing on twins, who have the same DNA, would allow researchers to see how their environment affects their bodies. In each pair of twins, one brother had exercised more over the past three years than the other, though they reported they carried out similar levels of exercise earlier in their lives. Dr Kujala said: 'On average, the more active members of twin pairs were jogging three hours more per week compared to their inactive co-twins.' The twins had MRI scans of their brains so researchers could see whether physical activity had any impact on the size of their brains, and specific regions. Exercise didn't seem to affect the size of the brain as a whole, Dr Kujala said. But there was a connection between more activity and more brain volume in areas related to movement, he added. Previous research found exercise is linked to lower levels of body fat, a reduced risk of heart disease, better memory and thinking, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes . The twins who exercised more did a better job of controlling their blood sugar, which reduces the risk of diabetes, a finding which is already well-known. The study was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. It comes after US researchers found regular exercise can also make you smarter. University of South Carolina experts found regular treadmill sessions create more mitochondria - structures in the cells that produce the body's energy - in the brain. This energy boost helped the brain to work faster and more efficiently, effectively keeping it younger, researchers said. In the short term this could reduce mental fatigue and sharpen your thinking in between gym sessions. And building up a large reservoir of mitochondria in the brain could also create a 'buffer' against age-related brain diseases such as Alzheimer's.

The Duchess of Cambridge is already up to four days overdue with her second child - and her labour could now be induced this week, it was claimed today. The 33-year-old royal’s baby is expected before the end of April - with the due date initially reported as yesterday, but later claimed to actually be as early as Wednesday last week. Either way Kate - who plans to give birth at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London - is now overdue and may have already spoken to doctors about the possibility of being induced. Scroll down for video . Previous royal birth: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leave the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London, in a proud moment with their newborn son Prince George in July 2013 . Due date: Preparations have been made outside the Lindo Wing of the hospital (pictured yesterday) for the huge crowds expected to welcome the royal birth - with the Duchess said to be up to four days overdue . A source, whose children were born at the hospital’s exclusive Lindo Wing, told Daily Telegraph reporter Gordon Rayner: ‘The doctors don’t normally wait for more than a week. ‘They will probably already have been in touch with Kate, and talked about which day which suit her best to go in and be induced if the baby doesn’t arrive in the next couple of days.’ A Kensington Palace source said last week: 'We haven't ever confirmed a due date.'  Prince George was reportedly born three days late when he arrived at the hospital in July 2013. The joint favourite dates for the royal baby to be born are tomorrow and Tuesday at 6/1 - with Wednesday priced at 7/1 and Thursday 8/1, according to MailOnline's official betting partner Coral. The bookmaker is also offering evens on a morning birth, 3/1 on the baby arriving in the afternoon and 2/1 on it being in the evening – while Alice (5/4) and Charlotte (5/1) are the favourite names.

Cute: Prince William and Kate pose with their son Prince George at the National History Museum in London . But some punters might look further ahead for their bets - if they believe those who say labour is influenced by the lunar cycle and the arrival of a full moon. The next full moon is on May 4. The idea is the moon's gravitational pull affects the amniotic fluid in the same way it affects water in the sea and rivers. When Kate gave birth on July 22, 2013, it was the day of a new full moon. Meanwhile Prime Minister David Cameron has defended William and Kate for opting to use private health services rather than the NHS. Asked if he was disappointed the Royal Family did not use the NHS, Mr Cameron told Sky News today: ‘I think it's a total matter of choice for people - what they use and where they have their babies. All I hope and pray for is there'll be happy, healthy news for that wonderful couple and for the whole country.’ Around one in five deliveries in the UK is assisted. A Danish study in February suggested inducing women at 37 weeks can lower the chance of a baby dying or developing a serious health condition.

Andy Lee will leave New York with his head held high and a burgeoning reputation firmly intact. A dramatic, frenetic 12 rounds here saw the Irishman sent sprawling in the very first against the dangerous Peter Quillin, the man who vacated the WBO middleweight title Lee won so gloriously in Las Vegas last December before the result was deemed a draw. It was the first time the reigning champion had gone the distance. No mean feat considering he fought for a lengthy period with a strained biceps muscle in his left arm. Peter Quillin (left) and Andy Lee stand with the referee after the judges declared their bout a draw . The two fighters embrace following their exciting 12-round contest in Brooklyn on Saturday night . Lee retains his WBO belt after Quillin failed to make the required 160lbs weight on Friday . Quillin's unbeaten record remains intact following the tie though he threw fewer punches than Lee . The two fighters congratulate each other at the end of the 12 rounds, which were judged to be a draw . With Quillin dramatically failing to make the required weight of 160lbs on Friday, Lee strode out in front of a healthy crowd knowing whatever happens, his belt wasn't going anywhere. Yet this was still one hell of a contest and when the judges correctly called it a tie, no-one was really arguing. While it was scored 113-112, 112-113, 113-113, the statistics told a different story . Lee threw more punches (299-267) and connected with greater frequency (113-103). It was a warrior-like display. Not maybe enough to have destroyed Quillin's unbeaten record, but impressively solid and energetic. Lee, however, was hard on himself. 'It was a tough fight, he dropped me at the start because I was lazy, ' he said. 'I had the momentum late on. I understand with two knockdowns people may have thought he won but I could have done better.' Billy Joe Saunders is the mandatory challenger and looks the likeliest next opponent. Another meeting with Quillin, although intriguing with the title on the line, is highly unlikely. Lee was knocked to the canvas by Quillin during the very first round of the contest in New York . Lee admitted he had been 'lazy' in the early stages of the fight, leading to his knockdown and standing count . Quillin is ordered to the corner after Lee falls later in the bout . 'If my next fight is Quillin it should be in Ireland. He has an Irish surname. Maybe he has some ancestors there,' smiled Lee, who will now look forward to a few weeks off to recharge the batteries before making his next move. Only the American will know how, even though he last fought a year ago, his team somehow allowed their man to miss the weight so spectacularly. The 31-year-old was over by almost a pound-and-a-half. Trainer Adam Booth thought he looked over the limit in the build-up. Lee would never display such a lack of professionalism. The 30-year-old in the form and shape of his life. Title fight or not, this was the Irishman's chance to show he belongs at boxing's top table. A polished display was the order of the evening to ensure his rapier-like trajectory continues this year. Quillin insisted before the clash it would be like a chess match. He was right, yet playing with Kings or Queens don't often lead to the explosion of power which sent Lee spiralling to the canvas at the end of the first round. Quillin's right connects with Lee's right shoulder during the Middleweight bout . Lee and Quillin exchange punches at close quarters during the tight contest . Lee is put onto the pack foot as Quillin lines up a punch with his right . Quillin's right hook rocked the Irishman who was given a standing count. It was just the second time he'd hit the floor, taking in both his amateur and professional career. No wonder Lee looked dazed. The American was quickly showing why he's the proud owner of an unblemished record. A razor-sharp combination had Lee reeling again but the Limerick man is a true warrior. A far better third saw Quillin on the backfoot for the first time as, after such a frenetic start, everything began to calm somewhat. Lee went down again and although it was originally scored as a knockdown it later emerged Quillin had stepped on his foot. If the scorecard had taken that into account, a draw could well have turned into an Irish win. Nevertheless, Lee needed some respite. The Brooklyn crowd unleashed some booing to display their displeasure at both fighters standing their ground. Yet the Irishman, who won his last two fights by coming from behind to land the killer blow, wouldn't have care a jot. Heading into the sixth, Quillin was ahead in the eyes of the judges. Lee, the master of coming from behind to snatch victory, needed something special. Quillin connects with Lee's cheek with a crunching right . Quillin again makes contact but over the course of the whole fight, he landed fewer punches . The comeback came at the end of the seventh, a crunching right leaving a very open Quillin tumbling. It was the first time he'd been down in his career. Lee, though, needed more heading into the tenth. The final rounds were dramatic without ever really looking terminal for either fighter. And when the last bell rang, Lee and the amiable Quillin hugged and showed a deep admiration towards each other which has been evident all week. 'The judges see it their way and I respect the decision, ' said the American. 'There is a first time for everything, I got knocked down and thankfully I got up. There is no perfect story, I come from nothing so to have something is a blessing as is going home to a family I love. 'Respect to Andy Lee though.'

Judges scored the contest 113-112, 112-113, 113-113 - a tie . Irishman Lee was floored in the first round but fought back admirably . He threw more punches and connected more regularly than his opponent . Quillin had failed to make the required weight of 160lbs on Friday . Reigning WBO middleweight champion Lee went distance for first time . And he did most of it with a strained biceps muscle in his left arm .

New lease of life: Karen Bane with her daughter Jessica after undergoing the alternative procedure . It is a painful and embarrassing condition that affects millions of British women. Pelvic organ prolapse, or POP, occurs when tissue supporting the pelvic organs – including the womb – becomes weak, typically after childbirth. Complications include an uncomfortable dragging or ‘full’ feeling, discomfort during sex or stress incontinence. Although up to half of women are thought to suffer to some degree, far fewer seek help, and many who do are offered just one solution: a hysterectomy. While surgical removal of the reproductive organs solves the immediate problem, it also ends fertility, and with three months of recovery needed, it is no quick fix. Now, a leading gynaecologist has claimed thousands of patients may be undergoing the drastic operation needlessly. He is one of a growing number of surgeons who claim not enough women are offered the alternative: a half-hour keyhole procedure that uses an implanted mesh ‘sling’ made from nylon to lift and hold the womb back in place, providing a permanent solution to a prolapse and preserving fertility. The procedure, called a sacrohysteropexy, is rare, with just 1,072 admissions for the surgery in the past three years. By contrast, there were 145,310 admissions to hospitals in England in the past three years for hysterectomies due to conditions such as fibroids, pelvic pain or cancer, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Surgeon Jonathan Broome, who has performed more than 1,000 sacrohysteropexies in the past 15 years, has called for the option to be made more widely available on the NHS so women of child-bearing age are not forced to choose between quality of life or the chance to have children. ‘Most women requiring surgery for a prolapse will be referred for a hysterectomy by their GP,’ says Mr Broome, who performs the £4,000 procedure for both NHS and private patients at hospitals in Lancashire and Greater Manchester. ‘That means some women are faced with the dilemma of living a normal life without a prolapse, or the possibility of having children. 'Far too many GPs recommend hysterectomies as the solution to a prolapse, when a sacrohysteropexy is a much better alternative. It’s a shorter operation, with shorter recovery time because it is less invasive, and fertility is not put at risk.’ Pelvic organ prolapse, or POP, occurs when tissue supporting the pelvic organs – including the womb – becomes weak, typically after childbirth (file image) Common causes of prolapse include childbirth, lower levels of oestrogen at menopause, being overweight and chronic illnesses such as lung diseases, which create pressure inside the abdomen from coughing. Half of women over 50 will have symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and more than one in ten will have had surgery for the problem by the age of 80. Concerns have been raised about the use of mesh implants in gynaecological procedures, with some women in Scotland and the US complaining of problems including bleeding and infections. But consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Clive Spence-Jones says the risk of complications where mesh is inserted abdominally is very small. Medical watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has received two reports of adverse incidents relating to a sacrohysteropexy since 2011. ●A sacrohysteropexy is keyhole surgery performed under general anaesthetic to put the womb back into its normal position. ●Tiny cuts are made in the stomach through which a telescope and instruments are passed. ●A piece of mesh is inserted via an incision along the bikini line. Using tiny needles, one end of the mesh is attached to the back of the cervix and the other to the coccyx, and it is fixed with metal staples. The mesh is also covered with a thin layer of tissue to prevent scar tissue forming, encouraging the tissue to grow and make the repair stronger. ●It can stay in place indefinitely and does not require a repeat operation. ●The procedure takes half an hour and involves an overnight stay in hospital. Mr Spence-Jones agrees that too many women are given the wrong advice on what surgery is right for them. ‘There seems to be a notion in general practice that taking everything – in other words, a hysterectomy – is the answer to a prolapse, when that isn’t the case,’ he says. ‘Sparing the fertility is a reason for considering procedures other than a hysterectomy, but not the only one.’ One woman who says her life has been transformed by a sacrohysteropexy is 44-year-old mother- of-two Karen Bane, from Lancashire. She suffered feelings of bloatedness following the birth of her daughters Gabrielle, seven, and Jessica, five. ‘I felt sluggish – I had back pain, sitting was uncomfortable and intercourse was painful. I’d also started to have leakage. It was mortifying being a woman in my early 40s and not being able to control my bladder. ‘I put up with the symptoms for five years, but when I started to have bleeding, I knew enough was enough. I was a mother of two young children, yet all I could see were years of misery in front of me.’ Karen went to her GP with her symptoms in May 2014 and was referred to Mr Broome. He performed the procedure at Euxton Hall Hospital in Chorley, Lancashire, last October. Karen says the procedure has given her a new lease of life. ‘I can run, skip and hula-hoop with my daughters without giving it a second thought,’ she explains. ‘I feel so much more feminine since my operation – my only battle scars are tiny nicks on my stomach. And because I had a sacrohysteropexy rather than a hysterectomy, everything is still there. It’s not something we are planning to do as we feel our family is complete, but the chance to have another child has not been taken away from me.’ Why should I take... Creatine . Creatine is a compound found in muscle tissue that increases the body’s ability to produce energy, and is often used by athletes to boost performance during high-intensity exercise. But there is evidence that taking 5g of creatine daily can deliver a short-term boost to brain power. An Australian study involving 45 volunteers found that those who took creatine for six weeks performed better in IQ and memory tests than those who were given a placebo. Fish and red meat are good natural sources. Ask a stupid question... Beauty & Go Bioactive Beauty Drinks . You don’t just rub on moisturiser these days – you can drink it too.

Can you smell when it's going to rain? Professor Barry Smith, founder of the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London, says: ‘Yes you can. Air pressure falls and humidity increases when it is about to rain, and our noses act like a barometer, picking up these subtle changes in the air. ‘Humidity makes smells more intense. The smell gets stronger still when rain starts to fall, as droplets of water will pick up molecules from the surface they hit – such as grass or dirt – and carry them into the air.’

Bianca Gascoigne, the daughter of troubled ex-footballer Paul, who was mugged by a gang . Bianca, pictured with Paul and brother Regan, had her phone stolen which reportedly contained private texts . Miss Gascoigne took to her Twitter page after the attack, where she branded her muggers 'lowlifes on bikes' The theft reportedly left her in tears and she is said to have been left devastated given the nature of the texts stored on her phone. According to The Sun, she told a friend: 'I was walking across the road and was suddenly surrounded by this gang of eight. They were all hooded up so I couldn't see them properly. It was terrifying.' A friend also told the newspaper: 'She's furious because these lowlifes will be able to go through private texts, some were with her dad Paul.' Bianca later tweeted about the mugging, branding them 'lowlifes'. She wrote: 'Beautiful day shame it just got ruined by being robbed! Got ambushed by a bunch of lowlifes on bikes.' A Scotland Yard spokesman said: 'Police were informed of the theft of a mobile phone, which happened at about 3.45pm on Tuesday in Wimpole Road, Marylebone. An appointment has been made to speak to the victim.' England great Gascoigne celebrates after scoring his famous goal against Scotland at Euro 96 . Teddy Sheringham joined Gascoigne as he celebrated doubling England's lead against the Scots . Gascoigne adopted Bianca and her brother Mason after he married her mother Sheryl in 1996. They also had a child together called Regan. The couple divorced two years later but Bianca and the former Rangers hero are still said to be close. She has appeared on several reality TV shows including Celebrity Love Island and Celebrity Coach Trip, and currently runs the Gaslight club in central London. Last year, she hit out at Twitter trolls who attacked her saying she should have done more to help her step-father, who has had a well-documented battle with alcohol abuse. It came after he was led away from his home by police and an ambulance crew following worried neighbours' calls to emergency services. One online bully told the glamour model her step-father was 'done' and another branded her 'attention seeking'. But she hit back, tweeting: 'There are some sick twisted people out there have some compassion don't know why people feel the need to be so nasty & have opinions they know nothing about.' Last month former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United midfielder Gascoigne insisted he was healthy and wasn't drinking again during a TV appearance on BT Sport.

There are dozens of safety rules when it comes to jet skiing. But all of those appeared to have sunk to the bottom of the ocean at a beach in Cancun, Mexico, as a new nail-biting video proves. Alejandro Bouvier of Uruguay filmed the moment another rider got scarily close to his watercraft one sunny day. Footage shows him zipping towards the driver before he swings around and drives directly in his path. 'Look out, look out!' a man behind the camera can be heard screaming. Luckily the two jet skiers avoid a dangerous collision thanks to some swift steering skills. Commenting on the incident, Bouvier later told Grind TV: 'Actually, I was more concerned about the cost of the jet skis than our injuries, but after watching the video and thinking about it, I believe it could [have resulted] in really bad injuries, if not death.'

Prince William and Prince Harry once tried to get their personal chef to cook them pizza by forging a note to him, it emerged yesterday. Former Royal chef Darren McGrady said that as children the brothers swapped the instructions from their nanny for their own in which they asked for fast food. William and Harry were apparently fed up with the endless diet of traditional English food so wanted a change. Scroll down for video . Former Royal chef Darren McGrady (right) said that when the Royal princes were children (left) they swapped the instructions from their nanny for their own in which they asked for fast food . William and Harry (pictured as children at Balmoral Castle with the rest of the Royals) were apparently fed up with the endless diet of traditional English food so wanted a change . William and Harry, pictured with their mother, dressed for the start of a new term at school in April 1990 . Mr McGrady said that their 'juvenile handwriting gave their identity away' - and that they ended up with roast chicken anyway. He said that he was 'more scared of the nanny than I was of William' so obeyed her rather than the third in line to the throne. In an interview with People magazine, he said: 'They may be royal children, but they still have children's palettes'. Mr McGrady is the former chef to The Queen and Princess Diana and spent a total of 15 years cooking for them at Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace. During that time he got to know the family and their culinary tastes very well. 'I remember holding the boys as babies, when the Princess was eating cereal in the kitchen, thinking, 'Wow, here I am, literally holding the crown jewels,' McGrady he told People. Mr McGrady said the young princes' (pictured with Princess Diana and Prince Charles) 'juvenile handwriting gave their identity away' - and that they ended up with roast chicken anyway . When the Princes (left with Prince Charles on a sking holiday) were growing up the chef of the day at the Palace would send a list of suggestions to the nursery for what they should eat and the nanny (pictured right, with a young William) made her choice and then a butler would bring the meals down to the children . He said that when the Princes were growing up the chef of the day at the Palace would send a list of suggestions to the nursery for what they should eat. The nanny made her choice and then a butler would bring the meals down to the children. William and Harry would eat the same food as adults only it would often be diced or pureed. Mr McGrady said that they were served 'traditional, English food' and William was supposedly fond of cottage pie and peas, poached chicken and rice and fish cakes. He said: 'Everything a normal British child would have. The only difference is that they had a chef cooking it for them.' When it came to dessert they went for 'quintessentially British comfort food' and their favourite was jam roly-poly. He said: 'Each time, I'd send up six pieces, and each of them would go.' Other desserts which were popular with the Princes included summer pudding and sticky toffee pudding which also happens to be a favourite of Princess Kate. Rank played its part even in what the children ate and whenever the Princes were joined by their cousins such as Zara and Peter Phillips or Prince Andrew's daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, their nanny decided what everyone ate as they were more senior. Mr McGrady said: 'So when William came in, his nanny was the senior nanny, because she had the senior royal, so the boys always had their choice of foods on the menu'.

The British Veterinary Association has withdrawn its support for the shooting of free-running badgers in controversial pilot culls. The two four-year pilot culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire should be completed by trapping the badgers in cages and then shooting them, says the BVA. It concluded that the first two years of culling had not demonstrated conclusively that ‘controlled shooting’ of free-running badgers could be effective and humane. The two four-year pilot culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire should be completed by trapping the badgers in cages and then shooting them, says the BVA . The BVA said it still supported badger culling to tackle tuberculosis in cattle. Animal welfare campaigners welcomed the news but said the BVA’s ongoing support for cage-trapping and shooting was ‘regrettable’. It comes after the Environment Secretary promised to roll out more culls across the country if the Tories win the election. Addressing the National Farmers Union conference in February, Liz Truss said 'any future Conservative government' would push ahead with 'a wider roll-out of the culls', which have been fiercely criticised by wildlife groups. Her comments came as NFU president Meurig Raymond said the incidence of TB had decreased on farms in two pilot areas in Somerset and Gloucestershire where culling of badgers has taken place over the last two years. The Environment Secretary promised to roll out more culls across the country if the Tories win the election . He urged politicians not to make the controversial cull 'a party political issue' in the run-up to the general election, and criticised Labour for pledging to give up on culling. Ms Truss pledged that any future Conservative government would 'take the difficult decisions to deal with this disease'. She told the conference: 'It is shameful that under the previous government bovine TB increased nine-fold and we ended up with the highest levels of the disease in Europe. 'It is incredible that they would like to make the same mistake again.' She said the Government's strategy included cattle movement controls, vaccination in 'edge' areas around disease hotspots, and culling where the disease is rife. 'We will not let up, whatever complaints we get from protest groups. We're in it for the long haul. We will not walk away,' she said to the conference, to applause from farmers. In Gloucestershire just 274 badgers were culled in the second year of the pilot, falling far short of the minimum 615 estimated to be needed to deliver reductions in TB in livestock, leading the chief vet to admit the benefits of the cull might not be realised there. The Government claimed the low numbers in Gloucestershire reflected the 'challenges of extensive unlawful protest and intimidation' by anti-cull campaigners. In Somerset, where the other pilot cull has been carried out, a sufficient number of badgers were killed this year to lead to expected reductions in TB in cattle, with 341 culled, in a required range of 316 to 785.

Ear biter: Kate Temple was jailed for 20 months after she admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm . A hairdresser who ripped another woman's ear off with her teeth during an argument at a hog roast party has been jailed. Kate Temple was called a 'homewrecker' by victim Shelley Williams who accused her of having an affair with her partner. Durham Crown Court heard how when Temple and her sister Louise Scollen went to leave the charity event at Dawdon Cricket Club in Seaham, County Durham the victim threw a drink over her. The three women got into a scuffle and Temple left the victim covered in blood after biting a chunk out of her ear. The 33-year-old carried out the attack before attempting to buy another drink from the bar where she was refused. Police found the missing portion of Miss Williams' ear the following day. Shaun Dryden, prosecuting, said: 'Shelley Williams believed that Kate Temple the defendant had been having some sort of relationship or affair with her partner. 'Miss Williams had found text messages on her partner's mobile phone earlier in the year. 'She recalls being in close proximity with the defendant and her sister. The next thing she can recall is being upset and covered in blood. 'The defendant and her sister approached the bar and she seems to have tried to buy another drink. 'By this time it became apparent the victim had a large portion of her left ear bitten off. 'Kate Temple and her sister were refused service. They left the marquee and went home.' Mr Dryden told the court how the victim has had to attend a number of hospital appointments and have reconstructive surgery on her ear. When the victim visited the hospital the following day the police became involved and Temple handed herself in to the police station. Temple initially told police she was not the person who bit the victim. She agreed to have a dental impression taken by police but later refused claiming she was acting on legal advice. The 33-year-old (pictured left) carried out the attack before attempting to buy another drink from the bar. She and her sister Louise Scollen had got into a scuffle with Shelley Williams, who had part of her ear bitten off . Dawdon Cricket Club in Seaham, County Durham, where the incident happened. A marquee had been erected at the club for a charity hog roast event. Police found the missing portion of Miss Williams' ear the next day . In a victim impact statement read to the court by Mr Dryden, Miss Williams said: . 'I have become very self conscious and it has affected my confidence. 'I struggle to leave the house as I feel everyone is looking at me. I went out for a family meal and a male said to me are you the one who had your ear bitten off. I was embarrassed by this male's comments. 'I booked a holiday and I was due to fly ten days after the assault took place. I was advised on medical grounds not to go because of risk of infection. I paid £1,500 for the holiday and as I didn't want to let my children down I paid another £400 for my parents to go with them. 'I have had to take a considerable amount of time off work. Working in a call centre I am unable to use my head set equipment. 'I am living in close proximity to Kate Temple and I regularly feel worried and start to panic. On one occasion I was with my daughter who said: "Don't worry mam I close my eyes." Sometimes when I wake up I get a severe shooting pain in my ear. 'I am ashamed to admit I sleep with a hockey stick under my bed. I feel really anxious and I have noticed I drink more because of it. 'I have spoken to the surgeon who has now told me he won't touch the ear because of how it had heeled. 'It's something I will have as a permanent reminder of what has happened.' When the prosecution could not prove who had carried out the attack both Temple and Scollen were charged and ordered to face trial. But Temple admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm and all charges were dropped against Scollen. Temple of St Johns Terrace, Seaham, pleaded guilty to inflicting GBH in the early hours of July 21 2013. Bob Spragg, defending, told the court how the victim had 'simply got the wrong end of the stick'. He said: 'Miss Williams had previously accused the defendant of inappropriate contact with her former partner when he went around to her house. 'This was entirely without foundation and streamed from the defendant being nice to her partner. 'The defendant's partner had gone to her house looking for some kind of comfort from her. 'Kate Temple was not prepared to let him in the house even though he was saying let's have a kiss and so forth. She was not at all interested in that taking place. 'Shelley Williams has seen the messages and got the wrong end of the stick which started this whole vendetta against her. It's ironic really that all of this started by her being a good friend to a man she has known since she was a child. 'In her own words her life has fallen apart. She's made decisions whilst in the depths of despair which she bitterly regrets and she will have to live with them consequences forever. 'She's clearly a low risk of ever being in trouble again. An immediate term of imprisonment would crush the defendant.' Judge Simon Hickey told Temple: 'She has been left feeling frightened and she has a permanent disability. She lost her confidence, she's had her career affected and her home life with her children has been affected. 'You admit in a letter to me you had her partner inside your house and had been kissing and cuddling him but no more. 'You do of course have a completely different character outside of this event. You have no previous convictions. This is a single bite. 'There is of course remorse although I take that as limited given the late plea and lack of cooperation during the case. 'You must have known what you had done on this night and you must have known what injury you had caused. 'It's a significant injury and it's caused by a weapon - teeth. 'I can't draw back from immediate sentence leaving someone disabled in this way.' Judge Hickey sentenced Temple to 20 months in prison. He told her: 'That is the lowest sentence I can pass given my public duty.'

Lord Janner sent a ‘thank you’ Christmas card to a detective after learning he would escape child sex abuse charges, it emerged yesterday . Lord Janner sent a ‘thank you’ Christmas card to a detective after learning he would escape child sex abuse charges, it emerged yesterday. The officer said he was appalled by the Labour peer’s note after his superiors forced him to drop his inquiries into Janner’s alleged sex abuse. The note thanked him for how he had dealt with the issue, and even invited him and his wife to dinner at Parliament. The revelation of Janner’s apparent attempt to influence the police came amid fresh concerns about the Establishment cover-up of the Labour grandee’s alleged paedophilia. Detectives have carried out four child sex inquiries into Janner since 1991, but attempts to bring him to justice were repeatedly blocked. Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders announced earlier this month that he should been have charged on each occasion. But she went on to rule that the 86-year-old peer should not face prosecution because of his dementia. The decision has caused outrage – with critics pointing out that he signed letters in the House of Lords as recently as this month, and had held numerous dinners and events in Parliament since being diagnosed in 2009. It has also been revealed that Mrs Saunders was a pupil at the same legal chambers as Janner – although she claims she never met him. The furore over her decision grew yesterday as it emerged that: . The policeman who led the original investigation into Janner in the early 1990s spoke yesterday of how he was ‘gutted’ after orders to drop the case came ‘from the very top’. Retired Detective Inspector Kelvyn Ashby, of Leicestershire Police, said his team uncovered evidence supporting allegations that the then-Leicester MP used his home and a hotel to abuse a teenage boy. He said he and fellow investigator Mick Creedon, now Chief Constable of Derbyshire Police, were prevented from arresting Janner. Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders ruled that the 86-year-old peer should not face prosecution because of his dementia . ‘Someone higher up told us that we couldn’t just arrest an MP and it went no further. We were told that by someone senior, who I can’t name, but the order had to have come from the very top. I’m sure my bosses’ hands were tied,’ he told The Mail on Sunday. ‘I was extremely frustrated. Janner should have been arrested. He was treated differently because he was an MP.’ Mr Ashby, 65, added: ‘The bit that really got me was that I later got a Christmas card in the post from Greville Janner. ‘The card was an official House of Commons Christmas card and was handwritten. Retired Detective Inspector Kelvyn Ashby, of Leicestershire Police, received a thank you note from Janner . ‘It said something like “I was very pleased with the way you treated me” and invited me and my wife for a dinner at the House of Commons. I couldn’t believe it. My wife was disgusted, as was I. Needless to say we never replied and never went.’ The decision not to charge Janner in 1991 was taken just weeks after Sir Allan Green quit as Director of Public Prosecutions when he was caught kerb crawling in King’s Cross in London. His deputy David Gandy took over temporarily until a full-time replacement was appointed the next year. But Mr Gandy, 83, yesterday said he could not remember seeing Janner’s case file. He told The Daily Mail: ‘I have no knowledge of it whatsoever. It may well be the decision was taken by someone else in the department or it could have been sent out for senior counsel to make a decision on. Whatever happened I simply don’t have any knowledge of it.’ Even Janner’s barrister, the late George Carman QC, who was instructed to defend him after the abuse allegations became public in 1991, was astonished that he escaped prosecution. His son Dominic Carman said: ‘My father was surprised that Janner was not charged. ‘He suspected there may have been some attempt to influence the decision by the DPP, although there was no proof.’ Investigative website Exaro said the four experts who examined the peer had not all agreed on the six key points about the nature and extent of his illness outlined in Mrs Saunders’s statement on why she was not going to charge him. Janner’s family have issued a statement insisting he is ‘entirely innocent of any wrongdoing’. Lawyers for Janner’s alleged victims could demand medical tests to check the extent of his dementia. Child abuse campaigners have questioned how the former Labour MP was able to sign a letter to the House of Lords on April 9, just a week before prosecutors said he would not face charges because of his deteriorating dementia. Now it has emerged that Janner could be examined by experts as part of compensation claims brought by his alleged victims. Richard Scorer, of law firm Slater and Gordon, told the Observer: ‘I have certainly dealt with civil claims before where the alleged abuser has claimed to have dementia, and we have been able to have them medically examined in relation to that.’

Janner sent the card to detective after learning he would not be charged . Christmas card even invited retired Kelvyn Ashby to dinner at Parliament . Former policeman said he was appalled by the Labour peer's note . Officer says superiors forced him to drop inquiries into alleged sex abuse . Four medical experts who examined the peer did not all agree on the nature and extent of his dementia, as outlined by Mrs Saunders; . Janner’s own barrister was surprised he escaped charges in 1991, and suspected attempts to influence the prosecutors’ decision; . The Director of Public Prosecutions in charge at the time said he could not even remember seeing the politician’s file.

A vigilante group has taken to the streets of Brisbane, spray-painting over offensive slogans on the side of campervans which they claim promotes violence against women. Close to 150 protesters gathered on Saturday afternoon to rally against van hire company Wicked Campers, after the brand failed remove 'sexist' paintings from their vans including the slogan, 'In every princess, there's a little sl*t who wants to try it just once'. The Brisbane-based company came under fire last year after over 120,000 Australians petitioned to have slogans eliminated from the fleet, prompting the company's CEO John Webb to promise in July last year to remove the slogans within six months. Over 120,000 people signed the petition to remove the offensive slogans in 2014 . Members of the Wicked Pickets protest group have started painting over slogans which they say are offensive . Wicked Pickets, a community action group, decided to take justice into their own hands after the company failed to live up to its promise, painting over slogans they have slammed as misogynistic and violent. 'We just want to make the point that sexist slogans like the ones on Wicked Campers might seem funny but actually contribute to sexual and physical violence against women,' Wicked Picket's spokesperson, Liz Upham, told Daily Mail Australia. Slogans found on the vans include, 'A wife: An attachment you screw on the bed to get the housework done',  'I wouldn't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die', and 'Your thighs won't touch if my head's between them'. The vans also feature cartoon paintings of novelty penises, breasts with the slogan 'Random Breast Testing', and sexualised images of men and women. Wicked Camper's CEO John Webb apologised for the offense the vans had caused many members of the community, and invited 'anybody who feels strongly offended by a slogan to either paint or tape over it'. Up to 150 women attended the rally in Brisbane on Saturday afternoon to protest the company's slogans . The women have started arming themselves with spray paint and removing the slogans . The members of Wicked Pickets have taken this literally, arming themselves with spray cans and painting over Wicked Camper slogans as they find them. 'I guess it’s illegal but we continually quote the fact that Webb invited us to paint the vans, which is our reasoning, along with trying to make a statement that these are not acceptable slogans,' said Ms Upham. '30 women have died at the hands of male partners this year so far. It might seem like long bow to draw but when there are vans driving around saying that a wife is attachment to screw in the bedroom and suggesting it’s all right to kidnap a women, it is really making a subtle suggestion that women are only good for sex and getting housework done,' she said. 'The fact that Wicked Campers are still driving around with slogans that encourage rape and violence doesn't seem possible. I'm appalled that there is no law to control this.' Ms Upham, who attended the rally on Saturday with her daughter, said that the slogans were extremely harmful for young people and female backpackers who were driving the vans. She said that the slogans were so offensive that emails she and the other organisers had been exchanging which contained the phrases had been continually blocked. 'It's is outrageous that these slogans are so offensive that they cannot be sent and cannot be expressed without starring in word form in the media, and yet they are out in public for anyone to see,' she said. Some of the slogans include 'I can already imagine the gaffa tape on your mouth', and 'Flash your t**s at the driver'. This Wicked Campers van said 'Random Breast Testing' on the side . A vigilante spray painted over the offensive slogan after CEO John Webb invited those angered to take action . Wicked Camper's CEO John Webb invited 'anybody who feels strongly offended by a slogan to either paint or tape over it'- . She said that she had been forced to explain to her daughter some of the concepts of the slogans, which were very adult and inappropriate for her daughter's age. 'Female backpackers are really at risk as they pre-book the vans and then drive around with these slogans for men to read about them. I think it’s putting all women at risk both locally and those from overseas,' she said. She said that she was afraid members of the community would see the activism as 'women being wowsers', but that if people looked closely at the slogans they were shocked. 'I want to make the point that we are completely supportive of fun slogans on vans that aren’t sexist, demeaning, offensive or violent,' Ms Upham said. 'When people read the slogans on the vans they are horrified.' Mr Webb said in his statement that the brand was a 'strong proponent of free speech and pushing the limits of humour – we are a ‘cash for chaos’ kind of company.' 'We are a small company, with eclectic, creative and multi-cultural staff. It is impossible for us to conceive that a throw-away message written on a van could have such far-reaching implications for the community at large,' he said. The Australian Advertising Standards Board have upheld complaints but have not been able to demand the ads be removed . Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said that a parliamentary inquiry had been set up 'to look into current regulation of outdoor advertising in Queensland' 'Bear in mind however, many of the images presented in the media of our vehicles are from up to 8 years ago, and the vehicles simply do not exist anymore.' Ms Upham said that despite the claims that many of the offending vans were not circulating, members of Wicked Pickets had painted over vans, only to see them restored and on the roads at a later stage. 'One of our supporters painted over an offensive slogan and it was put back again,' she said. Ms Upham said that the group's next move would be to seek a meeting with Queensland Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath to begin the process of introducing a law to ban the slogans. While Mr Webb voluntarily announced his decision to remove the slogans, there is no law to enforce the removal, as the Australian Advertising Standards Board have upheld complaints but have not been able to demand the ads be removed. Last year Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said that a parliamentary inquiry had been set up 'to look into current regulation of outdoor advertising in Queensland'. It would look 'whether reform is needed to protect children from being exposed to sexually explicit and inappropriate outdoor advertising', Mr Bleijie told The Sunshine Coast Daily.

Women in Brisbane are protesting offensive slogans on Wicked Campers . The group claims the slogans promote violence against women . In 2014 the company agreed to remove the slogans but hasn't happened . The group is spraying over slogans and posting pictures on social media . Over 150 protesters from Wicked Pickets gathered to rally against the vans .

David Cameron today accused the BBC of peddling ‘b*******’ after claiming his favourite sport was foxhunting. The Tory leader hit back at presenter Andrew Marr, after being left baffled by questions during an interview on Sunday. It came as Mr Cameron turned the clock back to ape John Major’s election soapbox by climbing on to a wooden pallet to address the party faithful, but ended up being heckled by someone claiming ‘the NHS is dying’. David Cameron today turned the clock back to ape John Major’s election soapbox by climbing on to a wooden pallet to address the party faithful . Mr Cameron promised at the weekend that he would ‘take to the streets’ to defend the Tory record and urge voters to reject both Labour and Ukip. He said he had ‘upped the tempo’ to make the case that his economic plan is working. But he took time out from the campaign today to escalate his row with the BBC after appearing on the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday morning. Marr claimed the PM recently told the Countryside Alliance magazine that his favourite sport was fox hunting. ‘Is that really true?’ he asked. Mr Cameron replied: ‘No, I am a believer in…’ But Marr interrupted again: ‘You said it’s my favourite sport which I love.’ Again Mr Cameron insisted: ‘No I love walking, I love fishing, I love all sorts of sports.’ On the campaign trail in Yorkshire, Mr Cameron hit back at the BBC for claiming he had said foxhunting is his favourite sport . The Tory leader was heckled as he addressed party activists and workers from Decorative Panels during a campaign visit to Calder Valley . But in an article for the magazine, Mr Cameron actually said: ‘I have always been a strong supporter of country sports. ‘It is my firm belief that people should have the freedom to hunt, so I share the frustration that many people feel about the Hunting Act and the way it was brought in by the last government.’ Marr later admitted on Twitter that he had made an error: ‘Honest mistake – I was wrong – sorry. Cock up not conspiracy, but wrong on my part.’ Today Mr Cameron revealed how he thought it was wrong at the time of the interiview. He told the Spectator: ‘The old mental filing system, you’re going ‘drrrrrr’ through, and thinking… but I knew the article because I wrote it myself… I just thought maybe there’s something else. ‘You never know, something might have been written by someone else. So I thought it was bollocks. And it was bollocks.’ BBC presenter Andrew Marr has admitted he made a mistake on Sunday, but insisted it was a 'cock up not conspiracy' He insisted foxhunting was not his favourite sport, adding: ‘I am what I am. I’m a country boy, I like the countryside, I support country sports. ‘But my favourite sport is tennis, for the avoidance of doubt. And I’m quite good at it.’ Mr Cameron’s decision to use a soapbox came on the day Sir John urged the party to explain how economic growth improves people’s lives. But all did not go according to plan, as the Tory leader was was challenged by a heckler as he gave his stump speech at Decorative Panels in Calder Valley. The man, who appeared to be an employee of the firm, shouted: "The NHS is dying... Not talking about that, are you?" Colleagues seemed to urge him to be quiet, and the Prime Minister continued without further disruption. The man walked off back towards the offices immediately after the address without speaking to journalists.

A red hot Novak Djokovic is being tipped to end Rafa Nadal's stranglehold at Roland Garros in June but the Spaniard dismissed the threat as being no different to those he has faced before. The Serbian world number one has been an unstoppable force in recent weeks, winning 17 matches on the bounce and becoming the first man to win the season's first three Masters title. He comfortably beat Nadal on his beloved red clay in last week's Monte Carlo Masters semi-finals, and the nature of Djokovic's 6-3 6-3 mauling means plenty are backing him to complete his collection of grand slam titles this year by winning his first French Open. Rafa Nadal practices in Barcelona as he steps up his clay-court preparation ahead of the French Open . Nadal was beaten convincingly by Novak Djokovic in MOnet Carlo last week . But as far as Nadal is concerned, 2015 is no different to 2013, 2012 or even 2011. 'Djokovic was good in 2011, in 2012, 2013 as well as in 2015. Sometimes you win more and some you win less,' Nadal, who has triumphed at the French Open in nine of the last 10 years, told reporters at the Barcelona Open. 'It is difficult to win everything all the time. Djokovic was as good then in 2011 as he is now. He had an impeccable year in 2011 as well as he is having in 2015. I have to congratulate him. Djokovic is World No 1 and in superb form, but Nadal insists he has no worries about Roland Garros . The Spaniard is looking to win a sixth consecutive French Open, and a tenth in total . 'The rest of the players have to accept that at the moment he is the world number one with all he has achieved this year,' added Nadal, who has had a patchy year after making his comeback in January following another lengthy injury and illness break. 'This year I have to do things right, get back to a very high level to face him on the court,' Nadal said. 'Tennis-wise, I feel a lot better than a few weeks ago. I am going to try to get as far as I can and to play as well as I can, topping the level I showed in Monte Carlo.' Nadal admits that Djokovic will be the man to beat, but says this year will be no different to previous ones .

Alessandro Diamanti and Mohamed Salah helped Fiorentina to a 2-0 win over Sampdoria on a rain-drenched pitch which lifted their team into fourth place on 49 points. Former West Ham midfielder Diamanti struck just after the hour mark, before on loan Chelsea winger Salah added a second just two minutes later. Miralem Pjanic's goal gave AS Roma a 1-0 win over Napoli in Serie A on Saturday, their first home victory for more than four months. Mohamed Salah continued his scoring streak as the on-loan Chelsea midfielder struck again . Salah turns away after scoring Fiorentina's second in their 2-0 win over Sampdoria . Roma struck in the 25th minute when Alessandro Florenzi set up Pjanic after a string of precise passes and his low shot beat keeper Mariano Andujar. Pjanic, who was also on target when Roma last won at home against Inter Milan in November, gestured towards the press box after his goal. Elsewhere on Saturday, Carlos Tevez scored a thunderous free kick to help leaders Juventus beat Empoli 2-0 to stay 14 points clear at the top. Salah embraces fellow goalscorer and team-mates Alessandro Diamanti during the Serie A win . The Argentine's fierce free kick from inside the area two minutes before the break and a Roberto Pereyra tap-in in stoppage time gave Juve their fourth win in a row. AC Milan notched their first away win in over five months when Jeremy Menez out-ran two defenders and delivered an unstoppable shot to give his side a 2-1 victory over Palermo. Milan are eighth on 41 points, six adrift of fifth-placed Napoli. Inter Milan were denied their first win in five games in a 1-1 draw with bottom club Parma, who continue to show great resolve despite players not being paid since the beginning of the season. Cesena came back from a three-goal deficit in Verona to earn a point that left them third-bottom on 22 points, four behind Atalanta who lost 2-1 at home to Torino.

(CNN)Sawyer Sweeten grew up before the eyes of millions as a child star on the endearing family sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond." Early Thursday he committed suicide, his sister Madylin Sweeten said in a statement. He was 19. "This morning a terrible family tragedy has occurred," Madylin Sweeten said in a statement passed on by her manager Dino May. "We are devastated to report that our beloved brother, son, and friend, Sawyer Sweeten, took his own life. He was weeks away from his 20th birthday. At this sensitive time, our family requests privacy and we beg of you to reach out to the ones you love." Sweeten, best known for his role Geoffrey Barone, was visiting family in Texas, entertainment industry magazine Hollywood Reporter reported, where he is believed to have shot himself on the front porch. Sawyer Sweeten was born in May 1995 in Brownwood, Texas. He was a year and a half old when he started on "Raymond," playing next to his real-life twin brother Sullivan, who starred as Michael Barone, according to the website IMDb. Their sister, Madylin, played their TV sister Ally Barone. The show was about the adults, and the children, especially the twins, had bit parts, adorable cameo moments. In the beginning, they were too young to speak. The series developed a loyal following and ran from September 1996 through May 2005. According to his IMDb profile, Sawyer did not appear to take on acting roles after "Raymond" was discontinued. CNN's Sonya Hamasaki contributed to this report.

An extremely rare species of shark has been discovered off the Gulf of Mexico. However, this little critter is more likely to get you cooing rather than crying out in fear. The tiny nipper - measuring just 5.5 inches long - was caught during a 2010 government research trip and its body remained frozen while biologists went about identifying it. This week scientists revealed the dinky creature is a pocket shark - a miniature variation of the more popular kinds. The young male is the second of its species ever seen. Up from the deep: An extremely rare species of shark has been discovered off the Gulf of Mexico . Tiny teeth: However, this little critter is more likely to get you cooing than crying out in fear . The first pocket shark was found 36 years ago in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru and it's been sitting in a Russian museum since. It's believed the newly-discovered pocket shark was just a few weeks old as he is extremely small and only weighs a mere half ounce. Strangely, this type of shark has two pockets next to its front fins; their purpose is not known. It's not quite like a kangaroo, which uses its pouch to carry young, but few species have pockets this large - about 4 percent of the shark's body. 'It's cute,' said Tulane University biologist Michael Doosey, who co-authored a study in a zoological journal identifying the shark. 'It almost looks like a little whale.' Close encounter: The tiny nipper - measuring just 5.5 inches long - was caught during a 2010 government research trip and its body remained frozen while biologists went about identifying it . Putting a name to the face: This week scientists revealed the dinky creature is a pocket shark - a miniature variation of the more popular kind . Extremely rare: The first pocket shark was found 36 years ago in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru and it's been sitting in a Russian museum since . National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries biologist Mark Grace has spent more than 30 years going through bags upon bags of fish to identify them. It took him more than three years to get to near the end of the freezer, when he plopped a bag on the table and let it thaw. 'I wasn't really sure what it was,' Grace said. 'That pocket over on the pectoral fin, I had never seen anything like that on a shark.' It's a small miracle that he was not thrown away. A couple of times, the lab with the freezer lost power. Once identified, the shark was shipped to New York and France for high-tech examinations that wouldn't puncture the specimen. Dissection: The truly strange thing about this species strange is its twin pockets - while no one knows what they are for, some experts believe that they may secrete some kind of glowing fluid or pheromones . The shark also has unusual belly patches not seen in most sharks. The only other pocket shark was a female adult about 17 inches long; it is believed that adult females may be larger than males. But the truly strange thing about this species strange is its twin pockets. While no one knows what they are for, based on the Russian specimen Grace and Doosey speculated that they may secrete some kind of glowing fluid or pheromones. The Gulf specimen has umbilical scars, showing he's probably a few weeks old, Grace said. Because of that they think he was born in the Gulf. He was captured in February 2010 by the ship Pisces about 190 miles off the Louisiana coast. 'There's others' out there, Grace said. 'We just haven't caught them yet.'

(CNN)Remember the Tuskegee syphilis experiment from the 1930s? Scientists studied poor African-Americans in Alabama who'd contracted the venereal disease but didn't tell them they had the disease or do anything to cure them. A lawsuit filed this week alleges Johns Hopkins University and the Rockefeller Foundation helped conduct a similar study in Guatemala from 1945 to 1956. Orphans, inmates, psychiatric patients and prostitutes were deliberately infected with sexually transmitted diseases to determine what drugs, including penicillin, worked best in stopping the diseases, the lawsuit says. The subjects of the experiments weren't told they'd been infected, the lawsuit says, causing some to die and others to pass the disease to their spouses, sexual partners and children. The suit seeks more than $1 billion in damages and has 774 plaintiffs, including people who were subjects in the experiments and their descendants. This is the second attempt to collect damages. In 2012, a class-action federal lawsuit was filed against the U.S. government over the Guatemala experiments conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service. A judge dismissed it, saying the Guatemalans could not sue the United States for grievances that happened overseas. The new lawsuit was filed in the Baltimore City Circuit Court. Johns Hopkins and the Rockefeller Foundation filed statements on their websites condemning the experiments, but denying responsibility. "The plaintiffs' essential claim in this case is that prominent Johns Hopkins faculty members' participation on a government committee that reviewed funding applications was tantamount to conducting the research itself and that therefore Johns Hopkins should be held liable," the Johns Hopkins statement said. "Neither assertion is true." The lawsuit alleges the Rockefeller Foundation funded Johns Hopkins' research into public health issues, including venereal disease, and employed scientists who monitored the Guatemala experiments. The lawsuit, the Rockefeller Foundation statement said, "seeks improperly to assign 'guilt by association' in the absence of compensation from the United States federal government." The suit says Johns Hopkins and the Rockefeller Foundation designed, supported and benefited from the Guatemala experiments. Bristol-Myers Squibb pharmaceutical group and that company's owner, Mead Johnson, also are defendants. The pharmaceutical company supplied drugs for the experiments, the suit says. On Saturday, a spokeswoman for Bristol-Myers Squibb sent this statement to CNN: "We've only just received the complaint in this matter. Bristol-Myers Squibb played an important role in the development of penicillin in the past and today we continue to focus our work on developing breakthrough medicines for serious disease. As a company dedicated to patients, we take this matter very seriously and are reviewing the allegations." Nobody doubts the experiments happened. In 2010, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologized to Guatemala for the experiments, saying they were "clearly unethical." In the 1930s and 1940s, the government followed a policy of funding scientific medical research but not controlling individual doctors, the suit says. The lawsuit says John Hopkins controlled and influenced the appointed panels that authorized funding for research into venereal disease. The lawsuit says prostitutes were infected to intentionally spread the disease and that syphilis spirochetes were injected into the spinal fluid of subjects. A woman in a psychiatric hospital had gonorrhea pus from a male subject injected into both her eyes, the suit says. The lawsuit doesn't say why the experiments ended. The results were never published and were not revealed until 2011, when the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues wrote a letter to President Barack Obama telling of its investigation, the suit says. CNN's Deanna Hackney contributed to this report.

Lawsuit says scientists infected hundreds of Guatemalans with sexually transmitted diseases . A similar lawsuit filed against the U.S. government was dismissed .

David Cameron likes to project an image as the 'chillaxing' statesman unruffled by political troubles - but this morning his usual demeanour seemed to desert him as he donned a bizarre outfit on the campaign trail. The Prime Minister looked exhausted as he stepped off the sleeper train at Penzance today, ahead of a speech in which he delivered his 'plan for Cornwall'. The Conservatives are battling against their Coalition partners in the South-West as they seek to wrest control of key constituencies from the Liberal Democrats. But Mr Cameron is still trailing Ed Miliband's Labour Party nationally, with just 14 days to go until polling day. Get-up: David Cameron stepped off the sleeper train at Penzance this morning wearing jeans, smart shoes and a navy jacket . Journey: The Prime Minister travelled for eight hours from Paddington station to reach Cornwall . Tired out: The Tory leader did not appear to have enjoyed a good night's sleep on the train and was wearing an unusual combination of solely dark colours . A YouGov poll published this morning put Labour on 34 per cent - one point ahead of the Tories. The Lib Dems trail on 7 per cent with Ukip in third on 14 per cent. Mr Cameron said in an interview this week that he 'always manages to portray a calm smoothness' - however, he looked anything but smooth at Penzance station. The Prime Minister seemed as if he had had trouble sleeping on the eight-hour journey from London's Paddington station. His hair was unkempt and he was wearing an unusual combination of jeans with shiny loafers which might be considered more appropriate for a smart business suit. Destination: He apparently chose the sleeper to avoid taking time out of his schedule to travel . Outfit: Mr Cameron wore a navy jacket, dark blue shirt, jeans and smart black shoes - as well as a red box . Inspiration? Mr Cameron may have been trying to channel the style sense of US President Barack Obama . Mr Cameron sported a navy jacket with a dark blue polo shirt, and set off his outfit with the ultimate status symbol - a red box holding ministerial papers, which only a few dozen people are entitled to carry. While the jacket may have looked inoffensive, the Tory leader may have been making a political statement in support of the Union, as it appears to have been made by Scottish firm Lyle & Scott. Similar models retail online for around £125. Speaking at a factory later, he insisted that he had in fact slept very well - because his wife Samantha was not there to complain about him talking in his sleep. Mr Cameron said: 'It was very comfortable, very nice it was too, to have a night without the children waking me up or Mrs Cameron nudging me in the ribs and telling me to shut up for talking in my sleep.' In an interview with the Spectator published yesterday, Mr Cameron was asked why he has a reputation for lacking passion while on the campaign trail. Changed: The leader put on a more formal outfit for his speech at a company in Penzance . Gimmick: Mr Cameron tried out a selfie stick during a visit to radio station Pirate FM today . Snap: The Prime Minister used the gadget to take this photograph of himself with the station's staff . He replied: 'I don't know. There is something about me - I always manage to portray a calm smoothness or something.' But he went on to point to his hectic campaigning schedule - as shown by his decision to spend the night on the sleeper train in order to reduce his travel time in the day. While the overnight journey from London to Penzance lasts eight hours, Mr Cameron would have had to carve out five hours from his schedule if he had travelled to Cornwall in the daytime. There is also a 70-minute flight from Gatwick to Newquay Airport, not far from Penzance, but the Prime Minister may have calculated that taking the train is likely to project a more down-to-earth image. Fun: The Prime Minister took part in selfies with Tory activists during one of his Cornish campaign stops . Speech: Workers at the Rodda dairy factory in Redruth watch Mr Cameron address them . Back to business: In the afternoon the Prime Minister flew to Brussels for a summit on the ongoing Mediterranean migrant crisis . The constituency of St Ives, where Penzance is located, is the most remote in the UK because it also contains the Scilly Isles. It is typically the last area to declare its results after a General Election, due to the need to transport ballots from the islands to the mainland the morning after the vote. The seat is currently held by Lib Dem Andrew George, but the Tories will be keen to overturn his 1,719 majority as part of efforts to drive the party out of the South-West. In his speech at a scaffolding firm this morning, Mr Cameron told activists that Labour do not care about anything 'west of Bristol', adding: 'Now imagine what it would be like if Alex Salmond was calling the shots.' How the true blue PM takes refuge in navy outfits for work and play . The Prime Minister is known for his love of navy outfits - nearly all of his suits are dark blue, and he also sports the inoffensive colour when on holiday in Britain or abroad. He often resorts to navy polo shirts even while wearing casual attire such as shorts or flip-flops, having apparently calculated that the shade suits him and is unlikely to cause a political stir compared to more outlandish choices. On the campaign trail in recent weeks he has usually donned a navy suit - with the main exception being when he puts on high-viz jacket and hard hat for a visit to a factory. Favourite: Mr Cameron often wears navy blue when he is off duty, like in this photograph from his Cornish holiday in summer 2013 . Relaxed: The Prime Minister wore dark blue again while on holiday with wife Samantha in Portugal last year . Suit: Mr Cameron was wearing a dark jacket and trousers at a campaign event in Bedford yesterday . Superspy: David Cameron has backed William Hague to take over the role of James Bond . David Cameron has backed his Cabinet colleague William Hague to be the next James Bond - saying that it's time for Britain's most famous spy to be portrayed by a Yorkshireman. Speaking to Magic Radio's Nick Snaith, the Prime Minister was asked who he thought should take over from Daniel Craig when he gives up the role of 007. Mr Cameron replied: 'I'm a Sean Connery man so who is most like Sean Connery? Is it time for a Yorkshire James Bond? Is it time for William Hague to step forward? 'He's fit, he's healthy, he does yoga, he can probably crack a man's skull between his knee caps. I'd go for William Hague. 'You know we might have to sort out one or two things but I think he'd be good.' Mr Hague, the former Tory leader and Foreign Secretary, is set to have time on his hand after the Election because he is retiring from Government. Mr Cameron's rivals have previously weighed in on the Bond question - Ed Miliband said he thought Rosamund Pike should become the first female 007, while Nigel Farage proposed himself for the action role. In today's interview, the Prime Minister also confessed to his love of Game of Thrones, saying: 'I am a big Throny, I think it's great. I went to the set the other day. 'So I've stood on the wall. I've held Oath Keeper... Brienne of Tarth's sword. I was in Tyrion Lannister's bedroom. 'Well it's a bit like politics but actually, you know, you die even faster in Game of Thrones than you do in my chosen profession.'

(CNN)A sexual harassment complaint has been filed against New Zealand Prime Minister John Key after a waitress complained about him repeatedly pulling her ponytail at an Auckland cafe. CNN affiliate TVNZ reported that the complaint was filed Thursday morning by Graham McCready, an accountant described in the New Zealand press as a "serial litigant," who has previously launched private prosecutions against Key. McCready's complaint claimed that Key had breached a section of the country's Human Rights Act relating to sexual harassment, TVNZ reported. It reported that he was seeking considerable compensation for the waitress, 26-year-old Amanda Bailey, and "if she does not want it I ask for the money be given to Women's Refuge." Key publicly apologized to Bailey, a waitress at his local cafe, for repeatedly tugging on her ponytail, after she complained about his behavior in a blog post. The post, published on New Zealand political website The Daily Blog, says that the odd behavior began during last year's election season. It was "hardly an acceptable form of greeting," Bailey wrote. She wrote that while she didn't directly make her objections clear verbally, her body language "screamed 'I don't like that.'" "As he approached me, he thought it would be fitting to raise his hands high and make scary, suspense sound effects, like the music from the movie 'Jaws'," read the post. "As he towered overhead I slunk down, cringing, whilst (Key's wife) Bronagh told him to 'Leave the poor girl alone.'" The behavior carried on for a number of months and on several occasions, the post states. Eventually the cafe's manager made it clear to Key that his actions were unwelcome. Key, who regularly visits the Auckland cafe with his wife, told reporters that his behavior was in the context of "a bit of banter," but said that he had apologized when it was clear she had taken offense. The blog post says that the prime minister offered the offended waitress two bottles of his own JK 2012 Pinot Noir wine by way of apology. "We have lots of fun and games there, there's always lots of practical jokes and things. It's a very warm and friendly relationship," he told reporters in Los Angeles en route to ANZAC day commemorations in Gallipoli, Turkey. "But if you look at it now, no. When I realized she took offense by that I just sort of immediately went back, gave her some wine, apologized and said I was terribly sorry." Politicians and public figures also rounded on Key, with Green MP Metiria Turei saying that the prime minister should be held to the same standards of behavior as the rest of the electorate. "A lot of New Zealanders know what it's like to feel as if you're not taken seriously in a job. As politicians, our job is to make people feel safe at work, not bullied," New Zealand media reported her as saying. "It's a sign of how out of touch John Key has become when he can't even monitor how inappropriate his personal behavior is, and when people are not comfortable with how he is behaving." Jackie Blue, head of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, echoed the sentiment. "It's never OK to touch someone without their permission," TVNZ reported her as saying. "There are no exceptions." Political analyst Bryce Edwards told the network that the "strangeness factor" of the accusation would haunt Key. "A lot of people will be laughing at John Key, that's harder to recover from," he said in a segment. The National Council of Women of New Zealand, while accepting that Key was joking and did not mean to offend, criticized the premier. "The fact that our Prime Minister has joined the list of people outed for sexism highlights how much sexism is a part of our culture. And it starts at the top," the organization's chief executive Sue McCabe wrote in an open letter. "Up and down this country, day after day, people are touched without giving their consent. At one end of the scale, it is an unwelcome pull on a ponytail. At the other end, it's our shocking levels of violence against women."

A 13-year-old Indian girl faced with an arranged marriage has written a letter to her teacher begging her to stop the wedding (stock image above) A 13-year-old Indian girl faced with an arranged marriage has written a letter to her teacher begging her to stop the wedding. Duli Hembrom wrote to the principal of Milan Mithi Uchha Vidyalaya after failing to convince her parents to call off the wedding, which is due to take place in two days. She wrote: 'I do not want to get married, I took an oath at the time of admission that I will not get married before I turn 18.' She added that she wanted the teacher to stop the marriage 'whichever way possible', the India Times reported. It is thought the 'oath' Duli refers to is the school's promise she had to make when she started, but exactly what it included is not known. Her father Lachhu, who lives in Gudibanda with Duli's mother, said child marriage was a common phenomenon in their society. He told the Hindustan Times that it was difficult to find a suitable match for a grown-up girl. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, passed in India during British rule in 1929, specified that a girl must be 18 and a boy 21 before they can wed. But the country has the second highest number of child marriages, according to a UN report. Nearly 52 per cent of girls are married before reaching 18 years old, Indian records show. Between 2011 and 2020 more than 140 million girls will become child brides globally, analysts estimate. Aarati Benera, a women’s rights activist, described child marriage as 'illegal and a social evil'. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, passed in India during British rule in 1929, specified that a girl must be 18 and a boy 21 before they can wed. Above, women and girls sit waiting to be married in a mass wedding ceremony in India . Despite numerous campaigns from many of the world's largest charities and NGOs, the issue of child brides remains a global concern. In 2013 there were around 57.5 million child brides across the world, 40 per cent of which married in India. This is despite the Child Marriage Restraint Act, passed during British rule in 1929, specifying that a girl must be 18 and a boy 21 before they can wed. Meanwhile, in Africa, 42 per cent of girls were married before turning 18 compared to 29 per cent in Latin America and the Caribbean. The number of child brides is estimated to rise to 140 million by 2020 if current trends continue, 18.5 million of which will be under 15 years old, analysts warn. Statistics show that girls living in poor households are almost twice as likely to marry before 18 than girls in higher income households. And girls younger than 15 are also five times more likely to die in childbirth than women in their 20s. Aarati Benera, a women’s rights activist, described child marriage as 'illegal and a social evil'.

The rampant Scottish National Party has extended its huge lead over Labour, polling showed last night. Detailed constituency surveys suggest Labour faces an unprecedented wipeout. Jim Murphy, its Scottish leader, and Douglas Alexander, its chief election strategist, are among those on course to lose their seats. Jim Murphy (left), Labour's Scottish leader, and Douglas Alexander (right), the party's chief election strategist could lose their seats . The nationalists are also on course to wipe out the Liberal Democrats in Scotland, with even Charles Kennedy, their popular former leader, now 15 points behind in his Highlands constituency. The survey of eight constituencies, by Lord Ashcroft, revealed swings to the SNP on a scale which would be unprecedented in modern European politics. The survey suggests Labour could lose all 41 seats it won in 2010. Tactical anti-SNP voting by supporters of other parties could save some. There are 59 seats in Scotland. Mr Murphy is nine points behind in his East Renfrewshire seat with the SNP buoyed by leader Nicola Sturgeon’s strong performance in two TV debates. That means there has been a 26.5 per cent swing away from Labour since 2010. Labour conceded that ‘no gloss’ could be put on the polls and warned that if the findings become reality then ‘David Cameron will walk back into Downing Street again’. Conor Pope, of party supporters’ website LabourList, said: ‘If previous Ashcroft constituency polling in Scotland could be described as an earthquake, the poll the Tory peer had dropped this afternoon will require an entirely different word. A cataclysm perhaps. ‘If this is an earthquake it’s certainly not the kind that rattles the windows in the middle of the night, it’s the sort that razes whole cities. ‘If Lord Ashcroft’s polling is correct, there’s a risk that Jim Murphy could lose his seat to the SNP. At the last poll he had a slender one point lead over the SNP, that has now turned in a matter of weeks into a nine-point lead for the SNP. That’s well outside the margin of error. The rampant Scottish National Party, led by Nicola Sturgeon (pictured), has extended its lead over Labour . ‘What was once a Labour/Tory marginal could well fall to the forces of separatism. Such a result would be a painful – almost existential – blow to a Scottish Labour Party that is already battered and bruised.’ Yesterday, Mr Murphy launched a desperate attempt to regain support by abandoning his Blairite views in a bid to win over left-wing voters. Mr Murphy unveiled Labour’s Scottish election manifesto in Glasgow as he declared ‘the party of John Smith and the party of Donald Dewar is back in business’. Overlooking the Tony Blair ‘New Labour’ era, during which he served as a minister, he allowed retiring Labour MP David Hamilton to whip the crowd into a frenzy by attacking Margaret Thatcher and laying into the SNP with the battle cry: ‘They are nationalists, we are socialists.’ Mr Murphy himself vowed to introduce socialist-style ‘redistributive’ policies, as he accused the SNP of stealing Labour’s clothes.

Polling shows Scottish National Party has extended its lead over Labour . Constituency surveys suggest Labour party faces unprecedented wipeout . Jim Murphy, its Scottish leader, among those on course to lose their seats .

Shabana Bibi, died in hospital on Saturday April 18 . The heartbroken brother of Pakistan's latest 'honour killing victim' - allegedly burned alive because she left the house without permission - said he will set himself alight if he does not get justice. Shabana Bibi, 25, from the Muzaffargarh district of the country, died in hospital on Saturday after suffering burns to 80 per cent of her body. Police have arrested her husband Muhammad Siddique and father-in-law Pir Bakhsh. Bibi's brother, Muhammad Azam said Siddique became enraged on learning his wife had visited her sister without first asking him if she could go out. His father then beat Bibi before dousing her with petrol on April 17, Azam alleged. Bibi had been married to Siddique for three years, during which time she had suffered repeated domestic abuse because the couple couldn't have children, her brother claimed. Azam says police have not provided him with a copy of the crime report despite repeated requests. 'I would set myself on fire in front of the office of the district police chief if I did not get justice,' he said. District police chief Rai Zameer-ul-Haq said: 'We have arrested the husband and father-in-law of the deceased woman and charged them for murder and terrorism.' The charge of 'terrorism' is regularly applied in such cases to quicken the legal process. Bibi (not pictured) had been married to Siddique for three years, during which time she had suffered repeated domestic abuse, according to her brother . But Naseem, the investigating officer, now says police have no doubt Bibi committed suicide. He said the police investigation will end if three people from the area take an oath on the Quran claiming Bakhsh is innocent. He said police have asked the men to visit the police station tomorrow so the oaths can be made. Hundreds of women are murdered by their relatives in Pakistan each year through domestic violence or on the grounds of defending family 'honour'. The Aurat Foundation, a campaign group that works to improve the lives of women in Pakistan's conservative and patriarchal society, says more than 3,000 women have been killed in such attacks since 2008.

Photographs of two teenagers who flew to Turkey in a bid to join ISIS were revealed last night, as a Muslim leader warned they could be followed by friends. Farouk Younis, the imam of the mosque used by relatives of Hassan Munshi and Talha Asmal, said Muslims must talk to other teenagers who ‘might be looking at them and thinking this is the way’. The 17-year-olds from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire - billed by their families as two ‘ordinary Yorkshire lads’ - are believed to have travelled to war-torn Syria after going to Turkey on Tuesday last week. 'Ordinary Yorkshire lads': Hassan Munshi (left) and Talha Asmal (right), both 17 and from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, are thought to have fled to war-torn Syria after travelling to Turkey on March 31 . Mosque: Farouk Younis, the imam of the Masjid e Zakaria (above) in Dewsbury used by relatives of the boys, said Muslims must talk to other teenagers who 'might be looking at them and thinking this is the way' And Mr Younis told The Times: ‘We need to talk to their friends and show them the barbaric things that are going on there [in Syria] which are totally against Islam.’ The imam of the Masjid e Zakaria in the Savile Town area of Dewsbury added that it was important for the teenagers’ friends to ‘understand the right thing’. The next-door neighbours are close friends and were seen playing snooker at Dewsbury Snooker Centre about a week ago, acquaintances told the newspaper. Earlier this week, police said the boys from Dewsbury were last seen by their families on the day they are believed to have flown from Manchester to Dalaman. Snooker game: The next-door neighbours were reportedly seen at Dewsbury Snooker Centre a week ago . Flew to Turkey: Teenage girls Amira Abase, Kadiza Sultana and Shamima Begum are believed to be in Syria . West Yorkshire Police said it has been supporting the missing teenagers' families and carrying out extensive inquiries alongside the North East counter-terrorism unit. Link: Hassan is believed to be related to Hammaad Munshi (pictured) - arrested in 2005 and convicted over his role in a plot to murder non-Muslims . A statement released on behalf of the two families on Tuesday said they are devastated at what has happened. It said: ‘Our number one priority is to get Hassan and Talha back home with their families and we implore anyone who may have any information whatsoever to get in contact with the police. ‘Naturally, we are in a state of profound shock and are trying to come to terms with the predicament we find ourselves in and we hope and pray that no other family finds itself in our situation. ‘These were just two ordinary Yorkshire lads who enjoyed the things that all young people enjoy at their age. ‘Both Hassan and Talha had a promising future, as an apprentice and an A-level student respectively, and we are praying they will be back with us soon and are able to realise that future.’ The families have urged parents to be extra vigilant, saying it is ‘near impossible’ to know if children have been groomed and brainwashed. Hassan is believed to be related to Hammaad Munshi, who was arrested by counter-terrorism police in 2006 at the age of 15 and later convicted over his role in a plot to murder non-Muslims, reported The Times. The Metropolitan Police believe around 600 Britons have travelled to Syria and Iraq since the conflict began, while around half are believed to have returned to the UK. Nine Britons - including the son of a Labour councillor - were arrested in Turkey last week on suspicion of trying to cross the border into the neighbouring country. Waheed Ahmed was one of five adults and four children being held by Turkish authorities after they were stopped in Hatay last Wednesday. Meanwhile, teenage girls Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana are said to be inside Syria after flying to Turkey in February. It is understood the Bethnal Green Academy pupils from east London were following another 15-year-old girl who travelled to Syria in December.

One of Hollywood’s most respected PRs claimed that the Oscars judges did not want to give 12 Years A Slave the Best Picture Award because it was not patriotic enough to America. According to hacked Sony emails, Peggy Siegal said that the voting panel objected to having a British director paint their country in a bad light. She said that Steve McQueen would not win as the Academy did not want such a dark message about the US to be ‘sent around the world’. The emails also reveal that a Hollywood blockbuster of Dr Who is in the works - but not for a few years. Scroll down for video . Controversial: A hacked Sony email revealed respected Hollywood PR Peggy Siegal believed the Oscar voting panel did not want 12 Years A Slave to win because it was not patriotic enough towards America and were concerned a victory for British director Steve McQueen (right) would paint the US in a bad light . The details were included in a database of 30,287 documents and 173,132 emails that was uploaded to the WikiLeaks website after hackers stole them from Sony Pictures Entertainment, the company’s movie division, last November. The database is the first time the information has been made available in one place in a searchable format. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said that the documents ‘show the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation’ and should be in the public domain. But Sony reacted with fury and a spokesman said that the company wanted to ‘strongly condemn’ Assange’s actions. The email from Siegal, who has been called the most powerful PR on the East coast of America, was sent to former Sony Pictures Entertainment chair Amy Pascal in October 2013. Global perception She wrote in the email: 'This film is made by a Brit that exposes the darkest "hidden history" of America, exposing a cruel and brutal segment of our white society.' She added the plantation owners are as 'terrible as the Nazis' She wrote: ‘The Academy consists of approximately 6,000 white 60-year-old men who are educated, experienced filmmakers who take their voting power seriously. ‘They are all fiercely patriotic and very aware of our day by day international standing politically and culturally. ‘This film is made by a Brit that exposes the darkest "hidden history" of America, exposing a cruel and brutal segment of our white society. These plantation owners are as terrible as the Nazis, who are the only "acceptable" cinematic villains. ‘As powerful as Brad Pitt is as a producer/spokesman, he will not over expose himself in the states.’ She added that the Academy’s experience of watching the film was ‘not pleasant’ and that some might fast forward or turn it off because of the violence. She wrote: ‘Many others who have seen it tout the brilliant filmmaking but are a bit embarrassed by the story and more importantly did not "enjoy" watching it. ‘My point is.... is this the story American cultural bell ringers want to send around the world as the "best story" in the best picture?’ Two members of the voting panel later admitted to not watching 12 Years A Slave, giving some credence to the claims. But in another twist, by January last year Siegal had changed her tune and organised a lunch for the film, photos of which are still on her website. She was also wrong about the film and 12 Years A Slave did win the Best Picture Oscar. The tranche of emails were stolen last year by group calling itself Guardians of Peace, though it later emerged that it was the work of North Korea in response to the release of the Sony film: ‘The Interview’, a parody about the secretive communist nation. When North Korea threatened to carry out further attacks at screenings Sony cancelled the opening but changed its mind after pressure from the White House. She said that McQueen would not win as the Academy did not want such a dark message about the US to be ‘sent around the world’. The details were included in a database of 30,287 documents and 173,132 emails that was uploaded to the WikiLeaks website after hackers stole them from Sony Pictures Entertainment . The film eventually came out on limited release in December and on the Internet at the same time. But by then the damage to Sony’s reputation was already done. Among the new revelations is that there will be a Hollywood movie of Dr Who - but not for a few years. An email sent in January last year from Andrea Wong, president of International Production for Sony, to the company’s chief executive Michael Lynton explains the plans. Wong writes that she has spoken to Danny Cohen, the Director of BBC Television and that negotiations are underway. The email says: ‘He said that while there has been tremendous interest (and pressure from BBCWW) (BBC Worldwide) to do a Dr Who film, the show runners feel very clear that they don’t want to do one at this moment. ‘That said, over the course of the coming months, the show running team is coming up with an 8 year timeline for the brand – laying out all that will happen with it. ‘He says that a film will certainly be a part of that timeline. ‘So the answer is that a film won’t happen in the next year to 18 months, but it is expected that it will happen after that within the 8 year horizon.’ Pascal has already been fired by Sony and is due to formally leave the company next month to set up her own production company. She has apologised over the affair and in a statement said that the emails were ‘insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am’. Among the revelations previously made public was that Pascal called Leonardo DiCaprio ‘despicable’ after he refused to star in a Steve Jobs biopic. Renowned Hollywood producer Scott Rudin complained about Angelina Jolie’s ‘insanity and rampaging ego’ and called her a ‘minimally talented spoiled brat’. There were also racially insensitive emails between Pascal and Rudin joking that President Obama’s favorite films are black-themed movies like Django Unchained and 12 Years a Slave. Victorious: The film went on to win the award in 2014. The cast is pictured behind McQueen as he makes his speech . Discussing an upcoming fundraiser for the president, Rudin wrote: “Would he like to finance some movies?’ Pascal wrote back: ‘I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?’ It also emerged that Jennifer Lawrence got paid less than her male co-stars in American Hustle. An early script for the forthcoming James Bond film was made public too along with celebrities’ personal information including Social Security numbers. The Sony statement said: ‘The cyber-attack on Sony Pictures was a malicious criminal act, and we strongly condemn the indexing of stolen employee and other private and privileged information on WikiLeaks. ‘The attackers used the dissemination of stolen information to try to harm Sony Pictures Entertainment and its employees, and now WikiLeaks regrettably is assisting them in that effort. ‘We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks’ assertion that this material belongs in the public domain and will continue to fight for the safety, security, and privacy of our company and its more than 6,000 employees’.

It was set as a maths problem, aimed at testing the logical reasoning skills of 14-year-olds in Singapore. But the question went viral after people across the world were left completely baffled. The problem, which tests logical reasoning, has been shared thousands of times online as people have tried to pose their best explanations of what at first appears to be an impossible question. A maths question set for 14-year-olds has left people across the world baffled as they try to solve the puzzle . The test was set for 14-year-olds in the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad. The Olympiad often features logical reasoning questions and are set to test top achievers. Katie Chrystler tweeted: ‘If Cheryl makes it this hard to find out when her birthday is, she’s NOT going to get many gifts.’ David Leong joked: ‘Cheryl obviously didn’t want Albert and Bernard at her party. Should have taken the hint when Cheryl decided to play this little game.’ One man in London said: ‘I did not have a bleeding clue! I wish I were as clever to answer something like this. But my brain just doesn’t work like that.’ The test asked: . Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates. May 15, May 16,  May 19 . June 17, June 18 . July 14, July 16 . August 14, August 15, August 17 . Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively. Albert: I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too. Bernard: At first I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know now. Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl’s birthday is. So when is Cheryl’s birthday? Organisers of SASMO said the question was set to filter out the most intelligent of participants . At first the question appears impossible to answer without a bit of extra information, but we know Cheryl has already told Albert the month of her birthday, and Bernard the day. Each of the men does not know what the other has been told. This allows reasoning to be used to begin to whittle down the number of options. So, firstly, for Albert to be 'certain' that Bernard cannot know the answer - as suggested in the first statement he makes - we can deduct that the birthday is not in May or June. This is because in the months of May and June there are numbers (dates) that only occur once across the four months - namely May 19 and June 18. If Albert had been given May or June as the month, there is no way he could be certain that Bernard doesn't know the birthday. Bernard, after all, might have been the number 18 or 19. For Albert to be 'certain' that Bernard doesn't know, Albert must have been given a month that does not contain one of these 'unique' dates - i.e. July or August. Albert's disclosure now gives Bernard the clue he needs, and says he now knows the birthday. Bernard only knows the number of Cheryl’s birthday, but from Albert’s statement he has now also ruled out both May and June. This is because he realises Albert has ruled out May and June because of the 'single number' aspect above. So there are now just five remaining dates - July 14, July 16, Aug 14, Aug 15, Aug 17 - and Bernard says he knows which is the birthday. Because he now knows the date, we can whittle it down further to three dates by ruling out the numbers that appear in duplicate. At first, the question appears impossible top answer without more information, but here's how to work it out . If Cheryl had told Bernard that her birthday fell on the 14th of the month, then he could not have worked out the date at this stage. However, as he states that he now knows the date, we can rule out July 14 or August 14. This leaves just three dates to chose from - July 16, Aug 15 and Aug 17. Following Bernard's statement, Albert is then apparently able to deduce the date of Cheryl's birthday. This means her birthday must be the only remaining date in the month he was originally told. Given that there are two dates left in August and one in July, it has to be the July date. So the answer is July 16. The problem was posted on Facebook by ‘Hello Singapore’ television presenter Kenneth Kong, and went viral as people posted their various solutions to the problem. It was set for 14-year-olds in the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiads (SASMO), which were held on April 8. This year around 28,000 students from countries across the world including Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, China and the UK took the test. Henry Ong, executive director of SASMO, told Mothership.sg: 'Being Q24 out of 25 questions, this is a difficult question meant to sift out the better students. SASMO contests target the top 40% of the student population and the standards of most questions are just high enough to stretch the students.' Of course, perhaps the more important question is whether Cheryl deserves a birthday gift at all after putting us through all of this.

Sportsmail's Derek Lawrenson gives his predictions ahead of the 79th Masters at Augusta on Thursday. Best American . So many to choose from but given Augusta’s predilection for a tale of redemption — from Vijay ‘kiss my ass’ Singh to Adam ‘this one’s for you, Greg’ Scott — let’s go for the reformed party animal Dustin Johnson. Time for him to prove he can match his gargantuan yardage off the tee with the requisite amount of brain cells. Dustin Johnson watches his tee shot during a practice round on the Augusta course on Wednesday . Best European (Non-UK) Not so many to choose from, alas. Indeed, given Henrik Stenson spent a week in bed with flu recently and reckons his strength is still low, we’re almost empty-handed. Still, let’s hope the Swede can rise from his sick bed. Other than that, it’s time Victor Dubuisson returned to the limelight. Henrik Stenson has only recently recovered from flu but the Swede will be hoping to mount a serious challenge . Best from the UK . Let’s leave out the history man on the grounds he has his own category. Lee Westwood has got an impressive recent record at Augusta and Justin Rose has shown he can play well here. But I have a feeling Paul Casey is the most likely to join Rory and get into contention come Sunday afternoon. Best International . You can hardly have faith in Adam Scott to emulate Bubba Watson and win a second Masters in three years given he’s confused enough on the greens to be going back to the long putter. While Scott sorts himself out, compatriot Jason Day has an outstanding chance to grab another win for Australia. Jason Day has a great chance to become another Australian winner at the Masters . Best each way bet . When you think last year’s joint runner-up Jonas Blixt is 150-1, there are some tasty odds out there. How about Padraig Harrington at 80-1? Or Bernhard Langer to finish in the top six at 400-1? My particular favourite is three-time Masters champ Phil Mickelson at 25-1. A steal. Phil Mickelson watches his fairway shot on the 11th green during his practice round on Wednesday . How will Rory do? Given what it would do for the sport and what an achievement it would represent, I fervently hope Bubba Watson is slipping a size 38 regular jacket on to McIlroy’s shoulders come Sunday night. But this might prove the major where he falls just short — and we have to wait a couple of years to enjoy his Slam. Prediction: Third . Rory McIlroy will begin his quest for a Grand Slam when the Masters kicks into action on Thursday . How will Tiger do? Not as good as some American writers believe, who are fitting him up for his fifth green jacket already on the strength of shooting 33 for the front nine on a practice round on Monday. Not as bad as the doomsayers think either, though. He should make the halfway cut… and maybe scrape into the top 20. Prediction: 19th . Tiger Woods was joined by his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn (left) and his two children on the course on Wednesday .

Dustin Johnson can prove himself at this year's tournament . Henrik Stenson has been ill but has the quality to impress . Phil Mickelson, at 25-1, is a good each-way bet for the title .

The Arizona police officer who rammed his car into an armed suspect was previously involved in a lawsuit while working for the New York Police Department. Michael Rapiejko was accused of approaching a man as he got out of his car in October 2005 and pointing a gun at him before handcuffing him and threatening to shoot him in front of his wife and four children. The plaintiff, Luis Colon, also claimed that Rapiejko choked him and ordered that he get back into his car. Scroll down for videos . Michael Rapiejko (above) was accused of approaching Luis Colon as he got out of his car in October 2005, pointing a gun at him and threatening to shoot him . According to NBC 4, Rapiejko's defense team said that while their client did point a gun at the man and order him back into his car, the other claims were untrue. Colon was charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, all charges that were dropped in April 2006. In the end, the city settled with Colon for $20,000 under the condition that he dismiss all other claims. The settlement was reached in December 2008, the same time Rapiejko left the New York Police Department and joined the Tucson Police Department. This as Rapiejko is under fire for using possible excessive force when he mowed down an armed suspect (above) in his police vehicle . The officer joined the Marana Police Department roughly a year-and-a-half ago, where he is now being investigated by Internal Affairs. Rapiejko, a Cross Fit devotee, calls himself Robocop. Video of the February 19 incident emerged earlier this week, and shows Rapiejko, 34, running into suspect Mario Valencia, who was carrying what appears to be a rifle, and who seems to point the weapon to the sky and fire off shots. A police officer in one of the patrol cars says: 'One round just went out. He's definitely loaded.' He then tells his colleague, Officer Michael Rapiejko, in the other vehicle: 'Stand off, the gun is loaded.' Mario Valencia (above) was in the hospital for two days after being hit by Rapiejko . But apparently ignoring his advice, Rapiejko overtakes the officer's car, before speeding straight toward Valencia. Seconds later, his vehicle mounts the curb and smashes into the suspect's body. Valencia is sent flying into the air, while the car crashes through a concrete wall before coming to a halt amid debris. The other officer can be heard shouting in shock: 'Oh! Jesus Christ, man down.' Valencia was rushed to University of Arizona Medical Center in serious condition following the crash and was eventually booked into jail two days later. Sergeant Chris Warren said at the time that Valencia 'was a dangerous felon who'd been on a crime spree throughout the morning'. This crime spree allegedly involved theft at a convenience store at, vandalism and burglary at the Tucson Baptist Temple, a home invasion and theft of a car. It culminated with the alleged theft of a rifle from Walmart, after which he was hit by Rapiejko's police vehicle. Rapiejko was put on standard administrative leave after the crash, but soon reinstated after the Pima County Attorney's Office cleared the officer of any wrongdoing. Valencia is facing several felony charges for his alleged crime spree.

Michael Rapiejko was accused of approaching Luis Colon as he got out of his car in October 2005, pointing a gun at him and threatening to shoot him . Colon, who was with his wife and four children, claimed Rapiejko also handcuffed and choked him, over charges which were later dropped . Colon sued and in December 2008 was awarded $20,000 by the city, the same month Rapiejko left the New York Police Department .

Sandro has defended former manager Harry Redknapp, saying he is not at fault for QPR’s predicament near the foot of the Premier League. Redknapp branded the situation at QPR a ‘soap opera’ and accused ‘people with their agendas’ of working against him before he left the club in February citing knee problems. Others, including Joey Barton, blame Redknapp’s recruitment in the summer transfer window and poor work on the training ground. Sandro has defended former manager Harry Redknapp, saying he is not at fault for QPR’s predicament . Redknapp branded the situation at QPR a ‘soap opera’ and accused people of working against him . But Brazilian midfielder Sandro said that Redknapp, who brought him to the club for £10million at the start of the season, should not shoulder all the blame, despite leaving the club second from bottom in the table, where they have continued to struggle under stand-in manager Chris Ramsey. ‘I don’t think it’s fair to blame him,’ he said. ‘I’m never going to put everything on the coach or the players, it is half and half because everyone has to pull together. If we don’t stay up it’s not Chris’s fault, not just our fault, it’s everyone together. Redknapp said he felt he would have kept Rangers in the Premier League next season if he were still in charge in west London. Some players blame QPR's slump on Redknapp’s recruitment during the summer transfer window . The QPR midfielder controls the ball during a training session on Friday . They may yet climb out of the drop zone under Ramsey after a 4-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion and a rollercoaster 3-3 draw with Aston Villa left them two points from safety. Sandro said he has seen a change in the mentality of his team-mates and thinks they can overcome league leaders Chelsea on Sunday. ‘Everyone, I can see in their face they want to fight, everyone is trying their best to stay up. Everyone now is a leader and makes a difference,’ he said.

The age-old ghost town of Balestrino was captured in all its spooky wonder by a drone. Circling the picturesque landscape, the camera picked out the castle on the hill and surrounding depreciated buildings. The ancient Tuscan settlement, based 40 miles south east of Genoa, is shrouded in mystery with its origin and much of its history remaining unknown. Scroll down for video . Little is known about the origin or history of the ancient Tuscan town that dates back to the 11th century A.D. Residents were forced to flee their homes in the town more than 60 years ago, with seismic instability noted as a main reason for the mass abandonment. A number of historical earthquakes, including one in 1887 that measured 6.7 on the Richter scale, caused severe damage to the settlement’s infrastructure. Dating back to the 11th century A.D., the town was formerly owned by the Benedictine abbey of San Pietro dei Monti in the 1100s.

An earthquake in 1887 measured 6.7 on the Richter scale and caused severe damage to the town’s infrastructure . A total of 800 inhabitants occupied the settlement, but by the 19th century most of the population had migrated from the area. A new town with the same name was built around a mile from its location and it 1953 the remaining population moved away from the settlement. Today the town is considered to be the most famous abandoned location in Italy and folklore suggests that the area is haunted.

Aeroplanes are infamous as breeding grounds for bacteria, with tray tables, seats and blankets singled out as the worst offenders on board. But an entrepreneurial team are hoping their new invention will revolutionise the cleaning of aircraft and help airlines win the battle against bacteria . Arthur and Mo Kreitenberg have created a robot, called the Germfalcon, which uses ultra violet light to kill bacteria throughout the cabin. Scroll down for video . A father and son team have created a robot, called the Germfalcon, which uses ultra violet light to kill bacteria throughout the cabin . The seats, tray tables and blankets on an aeroplane are breeding ground for bacteria including E.coli . According to the businessmen, germs such as E.coli and MRSA can linger for up to a week on suraces within an aircraft and there are no clear rules on how often aeroplanes should be cleaned. But the family team has developed the unusual new robot as a way to counter issues with cleaning the interior of a plane - which currently only takes place a few times a year. When the plane is parked and empty, the device, which is the size of a drinks cart, patrols the aisles using motion sensors to navigate itself. As it does, it spreads its two 'wings' over the seats on either side. Those wings contain UV-C lamps, which are the same type used for disinfection in places like hospitals and water treatment plants. It also has UV-C lamps on its top and sides. Arthur and Mo Kreitenberg, from Los Angeles, said the 3.5billion people expected to fly this year risk falling ill due to poor plane hygiene. Writing on their Kickstarter page to raise money for their project, Mo said: 'Germs will survive on aeroplane surfaces sometimes for as long as seven days. 'There are no regulations or cleanliness standards for the passenger cabins of airplanes. Aeroplane travelers are at heightened risk of catching the common cold, flu, or more serious infections.' They said their device could spare passengers from catching illnesses when flying and give airlines a competitive edge. Last year a study from the Auburn University in Alabama discovered disease-causing bacteria can survive for up to a week inside plane cabins, on surfaces such as seat pockets, tray tables, window shades and armrests. When the plane is parked and empty, the device, which is the size of a drinks cart, patrols the aisles using motion sensors to navigate itself. As it does, it spreads its two 'wings' over the seats on either side . Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacteria that could cause infections, skin disease, pneumonia and sepsis, lived the longest (168 hours). Escherichia coli (E. coli), which can cause urinary tract infection, respiratory illness and diarrhoea, was found to survive for 96 hours. Mo added: 'The industry is growing aggressively. Implementing daily, routine airplane sanitization could disrupt or limit the rate bacteria and viruses spread, as the industry grows. 'We have created an efficient and practical way for airlines to sanitize the interiors of commercial planes between passenger loads. Its wings contain UV-C lamps, which are the same type used for disinfection in places like hospitals and water treatment plants. It also has UV-C lamps on its top and sides . Using UV-C light they have have proven a 99.99 per cent germ-kill rate in under 10 minutes with no damage or reaction from any cabin materials . 'Using UV-C light, we have proven a 99.99 per cent germ-kill rate in under 10 minutes with no damage or reaction from any cabin materials. The Germfalcon is programmed to reach the most commonly touched passenger surfaces and kill all germs that are exposed to the robot's sanitising lights.' The robot, which contains settings for sanitising toilets and galleys, also comes with fans and filters to clean the air and suck in dust particles. The Kreitenburgs, who have been working on the robot for several years, are about to start work on their fourth and final prototype before going into commercial production. They are currently seeking sponsorship via Kickstarter and are offering backers the chance to fly on the first completely clean flight.

Campaigners against the new Protein World 'Are You Beach Body Ready?' adverts are celebrating today after learning that they are being taken down. Transport for London (TFL) has revealed that the controversial posters around the London Underground, featuring a bikini-clad model called Renee Somerfield are being removed. The sight of the 24-year-old's toned figure towering above train platforms has caused a stir among feminists and body image campaigners - a change.org petition calling for the adverts to be pulled has already attracted more than 50,000 signatures. One of the many Protein World posters on the London Underground that have been defaced . Several of the images have also been defaced by bloggers, angry at the perceived insinuation that only women who look like Renee are ready to go to the beach. The Advertising Standards Authority has also received more than 200 complaints from people saying that the adverts promote an unhealthy body image. But today, TFL confirmed that it was pulling the posters down, because they had come to the end of the three-week advertising period that Protein World had paid for. The company also said it had taken note of the reaction from customers to the advert and that they would bear it in mind if they received a request to put up posters of a similar nature in future. The posters are now being removed from the London Underground . A TFL spokesperson told MailOnline: 'This advertisement will begin to be removed from our network as scheduled from tomorrow. 'We have received one complaint about it and we will be guided by The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) if a similar advert were to be submitted again. 'We have zero tolerance towards graffiti on the network and take action to prevent it and remove it.' The removal of the posters comes as a protest organised against Protein World in Hyde Park on May 2 gathers steam - hundreds of people are expected to attend the rally in central London. The posters have caused a huge backlash on social media, with thousands of tweets directed at the campaign. One user called Catrin Stewartwrite: 'You clearly know what you're trying to sell with that offensive, unrealistic and sexist advert.' Another called Livy Christophers ‏said: 'YOU don't get to tell women what is offensive. "Are you beach body ready" really means "why don't you look like this."' Online fitness store Protein World, who claim that the image is entirely unPhotoshopped, have been actively engaging in the furore on social media, strongly defending their campaign with some biting responses to aggrieved Tweeters . Online fitness store Protein World, who claim that the image is entirely unPhotoshopped, have been actively engaging in the furore on social media, strongly defending their campaign with some biting responses to aggrieved Tweeters. 'We are a nation of sympathisers for fatties,' a spokesperson for Protein World tweeted to one user after she signed the change.org petition calling for the removal of the advert. 'Why make your insecurities our problem?' TV presenter Susanna Reid described the campaign for protein shakes, which features a toned swimwear-clad model alongside the slogan 'Are you beach body ready?', as 'anxiety inducing' during an interview with the fitness brand's Head of Global Marketing on Monday morning. The Good Morning Britain presenter and her co-host Ben Shephard grilled Richard Staveley about the uproar surrounding the poster, which has attracted the wrath of many social media users. Many have been outraged that the advert appears to suggest women cannot go on the beach in a bikini unless they look like the slim model in the advert. 'What if my only goal is to be on a beach?', Susanna asked Richard, adding, 'Am I irrational by finding that advert a little bit anxiety inducing?' Weighing in on the debate: Susanna Reid revealed she found the controversial Protein World advert 'anxiety inducing' on Good Morning Britain on Monday . Security threat: Staveley revealed police were investigating a bomb threat made to the company . The Protein World boss defended the campaign, saying: 'That may be but we are a fitness brand, our own aspirations are to make the nation healthier and ask each one of us to set our sights higher, to be fitter, to be healthier and actually have an inner and outer confidence within ourselves.' The TV stars also addressed the company's blunt responses to Twitter complaints, including 'why make your insecurities our problem' and 'grow up'. But Staveley believes the reaction is justified, saying, 'There is an irrational minority who have decided to interpret it in that way.' Susanna, 44, retorted: 'Do you think everybody who objects to it is irrational? Am I an irrational extremist?' Defending Protein World: Richard Staveley, Head of Global Marketing, insisted the company's advert wasn't meant to offend and was targeted at health-conscious individuals looking to get fit in time for summer . The company boss revealed Protein World has received 'threats on our head office, physical and violent threats'. He added: 'We had a bomb threat ... that’s been reported to the police. It’s currently being investigated.' Staveley concluded his appearance on the ITV show by declaring that it had been a 'fantastic campaign' for the brand and they won't changing their advertising methods in future. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it has received 216 complaints about the advert and is 'carefully assessing' the complaints to 'establish if there are grounds for further action'. Sales of protein powder - which can be priced up to £45 per kilogram tub - are rocketing in the UK, growing from £73m in 2007 to £170m in 2012. They are expected to reach £358m by 2017, according to the market-analyst Euromonitor, as gym-going Brits add the stuff to post-workout smoothies and drinks in a bid to build muscle. Meanwhile, Katie Hopkins came to Protein World's defence, tweeting: 'Chubsters, quit vandalising Protein World ads and get your arse running on the road. Feminism isn’t an excuse for being fat. Eat less, move more.' And writer Samantha Brick, who is open about feeling confident about her looks, posted a provocative update on Facebook: 'Just ordered MY size 8 yellow bikini for my beach hols in June. I WILL be bikini ready. *That* ad TOTALLY worked for me.'

(CNN)The announcement this year of a new, original Dr. Seuss book sent a wave of nostalgic giddiness across Twitter, and months before publication, the number of pre-orders for "What Pet Should I Get?" continues to climb. To keep up with demand, the book's first printing was increased from 500,000 to 1 million copies, Barbara Marcus, president and publisher of Random House Children's Books, said in a news release Monday. "We were absolutely overjoyed to see the response to 'What Pet Should I Get?' from every corner of the book world -- the bookselling community, media, educators, and readers nationwide," Marcus said. The publisher also released to CNN a never-before-seen image from the new volume by Dr. Seuss, aka Theodor Geisel. It features a brother and sister familiar to Seuss fans as they ogle a prim feline in a pet shop window and ponder: . "We want a pet. We want a pet. What kind of pet . should we get?" When "What Pet Should I Get?" debuts July 28, it will be the first new, original Dr. Seuss book since "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" in 1990. It features the spirited siblings from the beloved classic "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" and is believed to have been written between 1958 and 1962. "Ted loved and had pets himself, as a young boy on up through adulthood, and that makes the wonderful excitement and buzz for this new book all the more special," said Susan Brandt, president, licensing and marketing of Dr. Seuss Enterprises. Geisel's widow, Audrey Geisel, found the manuscript and illustrations in their California home soon after her husband died in 1991. The materials were set aside and then rediscovered in 2013. Random House Children's Books said in February that it expects to release additional books from the found materials. It only seems to prove the brother and sister's lesson from "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish." "From there to here, . from here to there, . funny things . are everywhere."

Dr. Seuss' new book, "What Pet Should I Get?" will have a first printing of 1 million copies . The publisher released a never-before-seen image from inside the book by Theodor Geisel .

Angelina Jolie's acclaimed film about the kidnap and rape of a 14-year-old girl in Ethiopia has helped burnish her image as a human rights campaigner. But the Hollywood star is at the centre of controversy after the makers of Difret were accused of exploiting the real-life victim at the heart of its story. Aberash Bekele, 32, is angry at the filmmakers for using her story without her knowledge or consent, and failing, initially, to pay her compensation. Fear: Aberash Bekele (second left) believes the film could put her and her family in danger of reprisals . Hollywood glamour: Angelina Jolie, 39, has become increasingly known for her humanitarian work . Miss Bekele was abducted so she could be pushed into a forced marriage. She escaped but was put on trial for killing one of her abductors. While she was released by the courts, local elders forced her into exile away from her home and family. Miss Jolie, who helped produce the film, spoke about how it will 'make a change' in the world and it was screened last year at her Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, hosted in London, co-chaired by then Foreign Secretary William Hague. But Miss Bekele believes the film, which has won awards around the world, could put her and her family in danger of reprisals. She was never consulted by the film-makers and did not give them permission to lay her traumas bare on screen. With the character based on Miss Bekele renamed Hirut and with the film focusing on her lawyer, the Ethiopian directors originally refused to acknowledge it was about her. Miss Bekele, now a mother of one, was the focus of a 1999 BBC documentary Schoolgirl Killer, made by journalist Charlotte Metcalf. Miss Metcalf, who saw Miss Bekele earlier this year, said: 'Aberash feels doubly abducted not to have had the story acknowledged as hers. It's an absolute outrage that they should pretend it could have been anyone's story and she's still fighting that. 'Today, she could be bathing in the glow of international admiration for her extraordinary courage and resilience. Instead she is invisible, her story taken.' Last year, Miss Bekele won an injunction banning the film from being shown in Ethiopia. Respected: The Oscar-winning actress is a special envoy for the United Nations high commissioner for refugees and was awarded an honorary damehood by the Queen for her efforts . She obtained it on the night of the film's premiere in the country, just after the producers had screened a message from Miss Jolie in which she admitted it was based on the 'untold story of Aberash Bekele'. While an out-of-court settlement eventually led to Miss Bekele being paid a small amount of money, she still lives in poverty and feels she has been exploited by the film. She told an Ethiopian newspaper: 'My life is on the edge [financially] while they are planning to premiere my story in a glamorous way. That is not right.' Miss Jolie, 39, a mother of six who is married to fellow star Brad Pitt, 51, has become increasingly known for her humanitarian work. The Oscar-winning actress is a special envoy for the United Nations high commissioner for refugees and was awarded an honorary damehood by the Queen for her efforts. Last year she spoke excitedly about Difret getting a wider release, saying: 'I cried for the first 20 minutes and then I smiled for the rest of it thinking I can't wait for the world to see it because it will make a change'. Her representatives did not respond to requests for a comment yesterday.

The first farmers came to Europe 8,000 years ago and spread early agricultural practices, starting in Greece. But Northern Europeans during the Neolithic period, initially rejected the practice of farming, which was spreading throughout the rest of the continent, researchers claim. Their findings show a bump in the road in the adoption of farming, which enabled groups of people to move away from foraging and hunting as a means for survival and sparked a ‘major economic revolution’. Experts from Centre for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHUS) in New York City studied neolithic ornaments (pictured) to understand how farming spread. These beads are examples of personal ornaments worn by the first European farming societies . ‘This discovery goes beyond farming,’ said Solange Rigaud, the study's lead author and a researcher at the Centre for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHUS) in New York City. ‘It also reveals two different cultural trajectories that took place in Europe thousands of years ago, with southern and central regions advancing in many ways and northern regions maintaining their traditions’. To come to their conclusion, the researchers looked at the adoption or rejection of ornamental beads or bracelets worn by different populations in the Early Neolithic period, which stretched from 8,000 to 5,000 BC. Based on discoveries of different types of Neolithic ornaments in different parts of Europe, they concluded that Northern Europeans in the Neolithic period initially rejected the practice of farming, which was otherwise spreading throughout the continent. Examples of ornaments worn by European foraging societies are shown . Scientists recently discovered that stone-age hunter gatherers in England were trading with continental wheat farmers 8,000 years ago - long before agriculture came to Britain. Farming is thought to have arrived in Britain around 6,000 years ago so experts think that local hunter gatherers bought wheat by trading with European farmers from as far away as the south of France or the Balkans. This means that even 8,000 years ago there must have been trade routes winding their way across the European continent to Britain across an ancient land bridge. The scientists say that the discovery shows that Britain was no-where near as isolated or insular as had been originally thought. They say the findings may also force a complete rethink about how agriculture first arrived in Britain. Dr Robin Allaby, a plant geneticist at the University of Warwick who led the research, said: 'Eight thousand years ago the people of mainland Britain were leading a hunter-gatherer existence, whilst at the same time in southern Europeans farming was gradually spreading across Europe. Previous studies have shown a link between the embrace of survival methods and the adoption of particular ornaments, so by looking at the ornaments, the experts were able to understand the spread of farming practices for the first time. They examined some 200 bead-type objects found at more than 400 European sites over a 3,000-year period, tracing the adoption of ornaments linked to farming populations in order to explain the patterns of transition from foraging and hunting to farming. They found that the pathways of the spread of farming over 3,000 years, are less clear than previously thought. They found ornaments linked to farmers, such as human-shaped beads and bracelets composed of perforated shells, from eastern Greece and the Black Sea to France’s Brittany region and from the Mediterranean Sea northward to Spain. But the researchers did not find these types of ornaments in the Baltic region of northern Europe, according to the study, published in the journal Plos One. This area held on to decorative wear typically used by hunting and foraging populations, such as perforated shells rather than beads or bracelets found in farming communities. Dr Rigaud explained: ‘It's clear hunters and foragers in the Baltic area resisted the adoption of ornaments worn by farmers during this period. ‘We've therefore concluded that this cultural boundary reflected a block in the advancement of farming - at least during the Neolithic period.’ Their findings show a bump in the road of the adoption of farming, which enabled groups of people to move away from foraging and hunting as a means for survival and sparked a ‘major economic revolution’. A stock image of a Neolithic hut, which may have been used by early farmers in modern day France, is shown .

Experts from Centre for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHUS) in New York City studied Neolithic ornaments . Necklaces made from shells and teeth date from 5,000 to 8,000 years ago . Spread of early jewellery found to correspond to the spread of farming . Experts found farming spread more quickly in southern Europe than north .
