"Health officials can now add Georgia to the list of states affected by a surge in measles cases--a list that now includes 122 patients in 18 states and the District of Columbia.",
"Authorities in Georgia announced Monday that an infant brought into Atlanta from outside the United States has tested positive for the highly contagious and potentially dangerous virus.",
"This suggests the child may not be among over 100 cases and counting that have been traced back to an outbreak that originated from Disneyland in early January.",
"Plus Georgia: The CDC will need to update its list of states affected by the current surge in measles cases after Georgia health officials announced monday an infant in Atlanta has tested positive for the virus .",
"The Georgia baby is being treated at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta according to a Georgia Department of Public Health statement obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.",
"It was unclear from the department's statement from where the child had traveled.",
"All but 18 of the cases are tied to an outbreak that started at the Disneyland amusement park in California.",
"Until recently, it was unusual to see more than 100 cases a year in the United States.",
"A fact many have linked to the anti-vaccination movement.",
"Uptick: The Georgia case puts the number of a cases so far this year at 122--a number that puts 2015 on par to easily surpass the 644 cases reported last year .",
"Most of this year's measles cases have been traced back to an early January outbreak at Disneyland in California.",
"The Georgia infant came into Atlanta from outside the United States, making it unlikely the child is among the over 100 who've thus far become infected following a trip to the theme park .",
"According to the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. experienced 23 measles outbreaks in 2014.",
"One of these outbreaks saw 383 infections total, most of them among unvaccinated Amish populations in Ohio.",
"Measles are most commonly seen in winter and early spring, brought in by foreign visitors or by U.S. residents who pick up the highly contagious virus overseas.",
"Last week, the CDC announced 102 total cases in the U.S. so far this year.",
"With an increase of 20 in just a week, 2015 is on par to easily surpass last year's total of 644 cases, notes the Washington Post.",
"Measles has become relatively rare in the United States, thanks to very effective vaccine.",
"A recent outbreak tied to Disneyland has shown that even among some doctors, knowledge of the once-common illness is spotty.",
"Some questions and answers about a still-dangerous disease that's re-emerged as a leading public health concern: .",
"Measles: An electron microscope image of a measles virus particle .",
"Q: How dangerous is measles?",
"A: For most people, measles is miserable but not life-threatening.",
"The most common symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough, and a rash all over the body.",
"However, a very small fraction of people get much sicker, and can suffer complications like pneumonia and encephalitis.",
"Before there was a vaccine, about 450 to 500 Americans died from measles each year, on average.",
"Also, measles can cause pregnant women to have premature, fragile babies.",
"Q: How is measles spread?",
"A: Measles is considered one of the most infectious diseases known.",
"The virus is spread through the air when someone infected coughs or sneezes.",
"It can live up to two hours in the air or on the surfaces of a room afterward.",
"It's so contagious that 90 percent of people who aren't immunized are infected if exposed to the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"Q: How well does the vaccine work?",
"A: Health officials say the vaccine is 97 percent effective; people who are vaccinated can still get the measles, although it's usually a mild case.",
"The vaccine was licensed in the United States in 1963, and as more children were vaccinated, cases plummeted.",
"About a decade ago, the nation was down to fewer than 100 cases a year.",
"In 2000, measles was declared eliminated - no longer constantly spreading in the country.",
"Q: Who should be vaccinated?",
"A: The government recommends that all children get measles vaccine with the first dose when they are about 1 and a second dose between the ages of 4 and 6.",
"The CDC guidance is based on advice from a panel of experts that decides which vaccines are needed and when.",
"Following that guidance, states have made vaccination a requirement for attending school.",
"Q: Are there any side effects?",
"A: Most people have no reaction.",
"Some experience temporary pain or swelling where the needle went in.",
"About 5 to 10 percent of those who get the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine experience a low-grade fever and a mild rash, according to the CDC.",
"Recommended: A doctor in Miami administers the measles vaccine to a four-year-old girl.",
"Parents have been reluctant to vaccinate their children due to suggestions of a link between vaccinations and autism .",
"Q: Do most parents get their kids vaccinated?",
"A: Yes, and the rates have been fairly stable.",
"Overall, 95 percent of children entering kindergarten are vaccinated.",
"But in a number of states, a rising number of parents have filed for exemptions to vaccination requirements.",
"Some are for medical reasons, but many are for religious or philosophical reasons.",
"Some of those involve doubts that the vaccine is necessary.",
"Others fear that the vaccine can cause autism - a concern sparked by a study published in a British medical journal in 1998.",
"That paper was later retracted and thoroughly discredited.",
"Other studies have found no link.",
"The new outbreak has spurred a backlash against vaccination holdouts.",
"Q: So if measles was eliminated in the U.S., why are we seeing cases now?",
"A: Measles is still a big problem in some other parts of the world, and travelers infected abroad can bring the virus into the country and spread it.",
"That's what California health officials think happened at Disneyland amusement park, although they haven't found the person who triggered the outbreak.",
"The last several years have seen more and more of that.",
"Last year, 644 measles infections were reported in 27 states, the most since 1994.",
"More than half of the cases were in an Amish community in Ohio; missionaries brought measles back from the Philippines.",
"Q: I'm an adult. Do I need a shot? A: Most likely not. Anyone born before 1957 is thought to be immune because measles was so widespread, and most kids got it.",
"Adults who got the vaccine as kids are OK, too - they are protected for life.",
"However, there was a less-effective vaccine from 1963 to 1967.",
"Anyone who got that vaccine or those who aren't sure they were ever vaccinated can get the shots now. SOURCE: AP ."

"The full extent of 'bin blight' was exposed last night after a report found that the average family now has to leave four waste containers outside their home.",
"As Britain increases its recycling of domestic waste, a survey found that nearly two-thirds of councils require households to have four or more bins and other waste containers.",

"Residents of the Staffordshire borough have to sort their waste into general waste, food, cardboard, plastics, paper, glass, cans, textiles and garden waste.",
"The survey was carried out by the National House Building Council Foundation (NHBC) as part of a report into how bins should be stored on housing developments.",
"Neil Smith, the think tank's head of research and innovation, said: 'It sometimes seems as if insufficient attention is given to how bins are accommodated on new developments.",
"'Designers need to find practical ways to hide numerous wheelie bins and other containers.",
"Alternatively, the time may have come to consider more radical solutions to solve the bin blight problem – such as shared facilities on street corners or underground bin storage.'",

"'Hardly a feeling of nostalgia, but maybe a reminder of a simpler time when the terms 'wheelie bin' and 'bin blight' had not yet been coined,' he said.",

"Above Newcastle, the Hawks came into pilots' sight, with just two to three nautical miles separating the two formations, the Airprox Board report found.",
"While the Tornado pilots knew the Hawks had been flying in the same airspace, they were told by air traffic controllers that the aircraft had begun their own climb.",
"'The pilot reported that having been told that the Hawks were climbing, he had expected the separation between them to increase,' the report concluded.",
"'He noted that under a Traffic Service the controllers were not required to achieve deconfliction minima and that separation was the pilots’ responsibility, and that in this case, had he not elected to level off they would have climbed straight through the Hawk’s level.",
"'Although 500ft vertical separation would be considered sufficient in many circumstances, the Board considered that because the Tornado crew were not expecting to see the Hawks only 500ft above them, they were probably startled by their proximity.'",
"The report concluded the mishap may have been the result of information being given to pilots via air traffic in a different format than is usual.",

"The news comes after ISIS was forced to admit defeat in the key battle for the northern Syrian town of Kobane, where it deployed many suicide bombers in what turned out to be a lost cause.",

"A source from inside Raqqa, the capital of the Islamic State in Syria, told Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently that ISIS has set up road blocks and imposed strict security checks to stop suicide bombers abandoning their missions.",
"RIBSS's Abu Mohammed said: 'There is great tension in Raqqa city, where IS group suffered many defections in the past few days, a source from within IS has confirmed that most of defections are from suicide bombers, where these defections are considered a painful blow to the group.'",
"He claims anyone caught deserting their position faces summary execution.",
"He said the constant aerial bombardment and fierce fighting in Kobane, the border town on the Turkish border, has caused many foreign fighters and members of the suicide units to desert.",
"ISIS leaders select foreign jihadists for suicide missions because they usually arrive in Syria with little or no battlefield experience and so have no military value.",
"According to one ISIS insider who fled the group, special training camps have been set up inside Syria which filter out foreigners with no military experience and prepare them for suicide operations.",
"ISIS militants are seen being hit by an American airstrike on a hill just outside Kobane.",
"The group have since ended their siege of the city after suffering significant losses .",
"A security source who works with British Muslim communities on combating extremism told MailOnline that he had been made aware of a number of British fighters who had been unprepared for the reality of Syria: .",
"'The problem is that young British Muslims who go over to Syria thinking they will be treated like equal brothers by IS find out very quickly that they are being told to strap on suicide vets and prepare for Jannah [heaven]....it's hardly surprising that they have cold feet about these missions.'",
"News of the defections comes just weeks after ISIS was forced to pull out of the besieged Syrian city of Kobane after it became little more than a vortex of death for the terror group in the face of a brave resistance from thousands of Kurdish men and women.",
"Last month a senior U.S. official said ISIS militants had started defying their commanders orders to venture inside the city, such was their fear of dying at the hands of Kurdish fighters.",
"This reluctance to continue the fight to capture Kobane eventually led to the terrorists withdrawing to villages in the suburbs, before Kurdish troops eventually forced them to pull back even further towards their strongholds elsewhere in northern Syria.",
"Experts believe that ISIS' frequent displays of increasing savagery - including the recent burning alive of Jordanian pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh - is simply the terror group attempting to distract from its territorial losses and present itself as a united front still capable of monstrous acts and oppression.",

"Among the dead jihadis is Abu Muslim al-Turkmani, a former Iraqi army lieutenant colonel considered Baghdadi's number two and ISIS' most senior militant in Iraq.",
"His death and that of as many as nine others on ISIS' 18-man leadership council have forced Baghdadi to promote local warlords to the status of regional commanders, as his inner circle of trusted advisers and battle-hardened loyalists becomes increasingly small.",
"Speaking to MailOnline, Charlie Winter from counter-extremism think tank Quilliam said: 'Obviously ISIS do get through quite a few suicide bombers but I think there's always a risk that people will run off at the last minute.'",
"'I do think a lot of the talk of Islamic State being in decline is to an extent wishful thinking but it certainly is having a tougher time of things now,' he said.",

"'Kobane was a great loss for Islamic State, it was a big symbolic loss.",
"But losing Kobane doesn't mean that Islamic State is going to keep on losing everywhere.",
"In its essence it is a nebulous entity - where it loses in one area, it can expand it another,' Mr Winter went on to say.",

"Video of a Majeed driving a Mad Max-style truck towards the jail before a spectacular explosion appeared on YouTube video released by the terror extremists.",

"PC Leigh, giving evidence at the inquest, said he heard her say: 'I've saved the fish, I've saved the fish.'",
"David Bentley QC, representing Mr Holt's family, told Pc Leigh: 'Others were looking after the fish, you were looking after Mr Holt.",
"'There were some quite active efforts of people trying to save the lives of some fish but in the meantime there were no efforts to tend to Mr Holt.'",

"He said: 'He's out of breath, he's breathing heavily, he's becoming quieter and more tranquil.",

"They began an affair, with the wealthy politician treating Ciuffardi to beach holidays and beseeching her to give up her work as a prostitute.",
"She said he would spend one week in every month with her, and that he had apparently been telling his wife, Michelle Alejandra Flores Borjas, 42, and their three children that he was in Chile on business.",
"Police said she continued working as a stripper and prostitute but stopped when she got pregnant, after which Zelaya maintained her with monthly payments of up to $5,000 a month.",

"The camera overlooking Dawlish Beach, Devon captured the fireball in the sky on the right of the image above .",
"The daytime view from the webcam above shows that the meteor appeared somewhere above the Channel .",
"Experts have said the fireball is likely to be a meteor a few inches across that broke apart in the atmosphere .",
"Some have suggested the fireball may have been a sunlight flare reflected from the panels of an Iridium satellite.",
"However, as the course of these satellites is well known, such flares can be reliably predicted and none were expected to occur above the UK on that date.",
"Dr Marek Kukula, public astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said: 'It certainly looks like a meteor to me – it brightens erratically and seems to expand and contract in the close-up shots as if it’s breaking apart.",
"'A ‘flare’ of reflected sunlight from an Iridium satellite would brighten smoothly and look more symmetrical.",
"'The other possibility I considered was a ship’s distress flare, but the speed and trajectory seem wrong for that.",
"'This kind of bright meteor or \"fireball\" is not particularly rare but, as the video shows, they’re quite brief and so often go unnoticed.",
"'To me it looks like the object either disappears behind a bank of clouds near the horizon or just disintegrates in mid-air.",
"The erratic flaring of the fireball above as it traveled across the sky makes it likely that it was a meteor .",
"The fireball flares up brightly for a few seconds before disappearing close to the horizon over Lyme Bay .",
"'A meteor this bright is probably a few centimetres to a few tens of centimetres across.",
"'From the video it’s hard to say whether any of it survived to fall into the sea or whether it just burnt up completely in the atmosphere.'",
"The day before the video, residents in York also reported seeing a fireball in the sky.",
"Last June a large green fireball was spotted passing over the UK and was caught on camera by the Norman Lockyer Observatory in Devon.",
"On that occasion the bolide meteor was reported to have broken into several pieces as it entered the Earth's atmosphere.",
"Dr Kukula added: 'The spread of cheap CCTV recording in recent years means that many more of them are now being picked up - which is useful for scientists, both because they can get a better idea of their actual frequency and because the meteor’s trajectory and apparent speed can give valuable information about where it came from. '",

"Skin taken from the dead could soon be used to treat wounds in the living.",
"Researchers have found that skin taken from cadavers that is stripped of its cells is effective in healing acute wounds, such as burns, as well as painful ulcers.",
"They believe the new treatment could be used to treat wounds that do not easily heal by themselves, which cost the US alone more than $25 billion (£17 billion) a year.",
"Researchers have found that skin taken from cadavers (a stock image is pictured) that is stripped of cells, is effective in healing burns as well as painful ulcers .",
"For decades, scientists have developed increasingly effective skin substitutes to help treat wounds, which aim to mimic the body’s extracellular matrix – the scaffolding of proteins and compounds that bind cells together, LiveScience reported.",
"They are now focusing on using real skin.",
"A team of researchers led by Ardeshir Bayat, a bioengineer at the University of Manchester, used human skin from cadavers, which they decontaminated with antibiotics.",
"They then used a combination of detergents, enzymes and other chemicals to remove cells from the skin, so that the recipient’s immune system is less likely to react and cause a person’s body to reject the organ.",
"The experts stripped out the skin’s inner layer – the dermis – which contains blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles and sweat glands, to leave behind its matrix of proteins.",
"Scientists have already developed skin substitutes (stock image shown left) to help treat wounds, which aim to mimic the body’s extracellular matrix – the scaffolding of proteins and compounds that bind cells together.",
"Now they have shown that cadaver skin can be used to treat acute wounds as well as ulcers (illustrated right) Artificial skin which could replace animals in drug and cosmetics testing was grown in a laboratory for the first time in April 2014.",
"Scientists in the UK and US were able to produce one centimetre-wide fragments of epidermis - the outermost skin layer - from stem cells with the same properties as real skin.",
"Scientists believe that in the future, lab-grown skin could be used for testing medicinal lotions and creams or cosmetics without causing suffering to animals.",
"It could also provide a model for investigating skin conditions such as eczema.",
"Dr Dusko Ilic, who led the British team from King's College London, said: 'Our new method can be used to grow much greater quantities of lab-grown human epidermal equivalents, and thus could be scaled up for commercial testing of drugs and cosmetics.",
"'Human epidermal equivalents representing different types of skin could also be grown, depending on the source of the stem cells used, and could thus be tailored to study a range of skin conditions and sensitivities in different populations.'",
"Dr Bayat likened this to an empty shell of a house without furniture that is easier to populate then building a house from scratch.",
"‘In the same way, decellularised dermis provides a scaffold that the body can try to populate with its own cells.’ The team discovered that ‘decellulised’ skin can be used to treat acute wounds, such as burns.",
"They removed four disks of skin, each measuring 0.2 inches (five millimetres) from 50 healthy volunteers, according to the study published in the journal Plos One.",
"One of the wounds was left to heal naturally, another had the disk of removed skin, re-attached, the third was treated with a man-made skin substitute and the fourth, was decellulised skin from a cadaver.",
"They found that the skin from the cadaver was the best at triggering growth of new blood vessels and was a strong as the volunteer’s own skin.",
"It could also rebuild scar tissue.",
"The advantage of using it over artificial skin is that the body is familiar with its structure.",
"Dr Bayat plans on testing the ‘decelluarised’ skin on more patients as well as adding electrical stimulation to see if this accelerates the healing process.",
"The team has previously proved that skin from cadavers can be used to treat chronic wounds that have not healed in six to eight weeks, or in some cases, years.",
"Dr Bayat said that he had a patient who was 92 years old who had suffered with a skin ulcer for 20 years.",
"‘After we treated her with decellularised dermis, she healed within four weeks,’ he said.",
"The number of people with ulcers is expected to rise in line with ageing populations.",
"This is because conditions linked to skin wounds, such as diabetes and obesity become more common.",
"The experts stripped out the skin’s inner layer – the demis, shown in this diagram – which contains blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles and sweat glands, to leave behind its extracellular matrix ."

"The planned unveiling of a statue of Margaret Thatcher on the Falkland Islands has sparked a furious new row between Britain and Argentina.",
"The bronze sculpture of the Prime Minister whose forces freed the islanders after the 1982 invasion will be unveiled in the capital Stanley next month.",
"But Argentina's ambassador to London, Alicia Castro, has condemned the statue 'in our Malvinas Islands' as a provocative move, saying: 'What the UK is doing is celebrating war.'",
"Costing £40,000, it stands 8ft high on a stone plinth and bears a brass plaque with a quote from Baroness Thatcher from April 1982 .",
"Her anger was echoed by veterans' leader Mario Volpe in Buenos Aires.",
"He said: 'The statue is not a symbol of democracy.",
"It's her fault so many died.'",
"He said Mrs Thatcher 'could have avoided the war and the deaths'.",
"The memorial, to be unveiled by her son, Sir Mark Thatcher, at a ceremony on January 10, is seen for the first time in our exclusive photograph.",
"Costing £40,000, it stands 8ft high on a stone plinth and bears a brass plaque with a quote from Baroness Thatcher on April 3, 1982: 'They are few in number, but they have the right to live in peace, to choose their own way of life and determine their own allegiance.'",
"The bust is at the end of Thatcher Drive, next to the Liberation Monument, which honours 255 UK servicemen and three Falklands civilians who died in the conflict.",
"About 650 Argentine personnel also died.",
"CCTV will provide 24-hour surveillance around the 'Iron Lady' to prevent it being defaced by those who contest UK sovereignty.",
"The bust is at the end of Thatcher Drive (pictured), next to the Liberation Monument, which honours 255 UK servicemen and three Falklands civilians who died in the conflict .",
"The bronze sculpture of the Prime Minister whose forces freed the islanders after the 1982 invasion will be unveiled in the capital Stanley next month - she is pictured here in 1992, ten years after the Falklands War .",
"Artist Stephen Massam said: 'The bust is not meant as a provocation, it is meant to honour the role Mrs Thatcher played in liberating the islands, which are British to their core.",
"We're delighted to welcome her home.'",
"Mr Massam believes the bust will become a tourist attraction, adding: 'She is an integral part of the islands' history and it is entirely appropriate that her image will gaze down on visitors and that she will remain in the Falklands for ever.'",
"And last night, the Chief Executive of the Falklands Veterans Foundation, Derek 'Smokie' Cole, gave the statue his backing.",
"Mr Cole, 58, a Royal Navy officer on the assault ship HMS Intrepid in the war, said: 'She was very determined to recover the Falklands.",
"It is not up to the Argentinians to decide whether or not the statue should be unveiled.'",
"The row is the latest in a recent series of flare-ups between Argentina and Britain.",
"Earlier this year, Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear team were forced to flee Argentina.",
"A mob hurled rocks as they filmed the show's Christmas special, shown last night."

"These fascinating pictures show how engineers in 1960s California secretly developed the SR-71 Blackbird for the US Air Force – a plane which still holds the record for being the fastest ever aircraft.",
"The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is a long-range, strategic reconnaissance aircraft and these once classified photos reveal how Lockheed built three types of Blackbird - A, B and C in top secret conditions in Burbank, California.",
"The aircraft were built by American aerospace company Lockheed under a 'black project' - a highly classified military defence project unacknowledged by the government until its declassification.",
"Since July 28 1976 the SR-71 Blackbird has held the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft with a record speed of 2,193.2mph.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Scientists at Lockheed's Skunk Works in Burbank developed the plane -this picture shows their assembly line .",
"Lockheed engineers working on the Blackbird - the dark colour acts as a camouflage .",
"To withstand high temperatures during sustained Mach 3 flight, the Blackbird required an array of specially developed materials including high temperature fuel, sealants, lubricants, wiring and other components .",
"Renowned American aerospace engineer Clarence 'Kelly' Johnson was responsible for many of the design's innovative concepts.",
"During reconnaissance missions, the SR-71 operated at high speeds and altitudes to allow it to outrace threats - if a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate and out fly the missile.",
"The SR-71 was designed to have basic stealthy characteristics and served as a precursor to modern stealth aircraft.",
"The Blackbird served with the U.S. Air Force from 1964 to 1998 and a total of 32 aircraft were built; 12 were lost in accidents, but none were ever lost to enemy action.",
"Around 93% of the plane's frame was made of titanium alloy which allowed the aircraft to fly fast and high .",
"An SR-71B trainer over the Sierra Nevada Mountains in 1994 - the raised second cockpit is for the instructor .",
"Since 1976 the Blackbird has held the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft .",
"Flying at 80,000 ft meant that crews could not use standard masks, which would not provide enough oxygen above 43,000 ft, so specialist protective pressurised suits were made.",
"The plane's titanium skin was capable of surviving temperatures up to 482C.",
"The SR-71 was the world's fastest and highest-flying operational manned aircraft throughout its career and is believed to be the most advanced airplane ever built in relation to the technology available at the time.",
"These once classified pictures reveal how Lockheed built A, B and C versions of plane - this version is based on the Blackbird's precursor, the A-12 Oxcart .",
"SR-71 was designed to have basic stealth characteristics and served as a precursor to modern stealth aircraft .",
"Almost every aspect of its design required new approaches or breakthroughs in technology.",
"To withstand high temperatures generated by friction in the upper atmosphere during sustained Mach 3 flight, the Blackbird required an array of specially developed materials including high temperature fuel, sealants, lubricants, wiring and other components.",
"Around 93% of the Blackbird's airframe consisted of titanium alloy that allowed the aircraft to operate in a regime where temperatures range from 450 degrees to 950 degrees.",
"On July 24 1964, US President Lyndon B. Johnson publicly announced the existence of the classified Lockheed SR-71 program.",
"The first flight was held on December 22 and operational aircraft deliveries began in 1966.",
"An SR-71 refueling from a KC-135Q Stratotanker during a flight in 1983.",

"Better half: Andrew Shanahan and his wife Emma were both overweight at one point (left).",
"But after she slimmed down and toned up, she was keen for him to lose weight.",
"After much persuasion, he eventually did (right) - but she went about nagging him in the wrong way, he says .",
"In earlier, pudgier times we had been morbidly obese together, devouring slabs of Dairy Milk and carb-orgy Chinese takeaways on the sofa, while moving so little that some days the pedometers we laughingly bought each other would stay in single digits.",
"But as the marriage vows warn us, for richer, for poorer, for fatter, for thinner.",
"Through a combination of smarter eating and running, my wife returned to the coveted BMI category of Extremely Slinky.",
"She discovered a life of health and energy; while I discovered a way of separating Oreos and rebuilding them into a Super-Oreo.",
"So, her campaign of suggestions continued.",
"She suggested we go trainer shopping (I got comfy ones that supported my fat ankles), she suggested we join a gym (she went on the treadmill, I lazed in the jacuzzi) and gradually the cakes she baked morphed from heart-thumping chocolate Malteser cakes into seedy, joyless flapjacks.",
"In retrospect I appreciate the difficult position that my la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you attitude created.",
"That said, I am now 60lbs lighter than I was and run a website for men who want to lose weight, so possibly I shouldn't discount the effectiveness of Emma's nagging.",
"And surely it's part of her wifely duties to be worried about my health, isn't it?",

"The fact is though that she was nagging all wrong.",
"Women like to think that they're the Jedi Knights of husbandly persuasion but the truth is that men know how to nag men best.",
"The mistake women make is couching their concern in niceness and thinking that makes it all the more palatable.",
"Not a bit of it. Men like to hear it straight.",
"Take the example of chef Jamie Brooks whose incredible 21-stone weight loss was motivated by his mates texting him on a daily basis calling him 'a fat f***' and telling him that he'll 'be dead by 40' if he doesn't change his ways.",
"And you thought the texts about your PPI claim were annoying.",
"Slimline: He eventually lost four stone and has launched his own weight loss advice website - but says other women need to learn the best way to nag their partners .",
"His mates kept up that campaign for an incredible six weeks, after which time Brooks said that it finally made him face up to his weight issues.",
"Presumably, it was either that or change his number.",
"That is quality man-on-man nagging.",
"Compare that to the softly-softly suggestions that women prefer and you can see why the female of the species is less effective than the male.",

"If you're looking at your husband and wondering how to make some healthy suggestions of your own that he might actually listen to then this is how you successfully nag your husband to lose weight… .",
"Nag away, but realise that change happens in a person's own time .",
"Yes, it would be wonderful if everything we said to our other half was instantly understood and acted upon down to the exact letter, but then you've got a husband not a Tamagotchi.",
"Of course you can rage, rant, blackmail and threaten but all that will do is make them wish to appease you or fight back, it will not light the fire inside them – that will happen according to their own timescale.",
"That doesn't mean that you can't provide them with plenty of kindling, firelighters and matches though.",
"In our situation, Em was at goal weight for a whole year before I finally got the message and started to get healthy.",
"Although I had developed an immunity to the weight discussions, there's no doubt that her weight loss left me questioning my own choices, which brings me neatly to… .",
"Lead by example, don't expect him to follow .",
"Inspire change: There's no point nagging your partner if you're not doing anything healthy yourself, he says .",
"If you really want to change someone's mind-set about losing weight then enjoying an exemplary healthy life is the most compelling argument of all.",

"Go to www.manvfat.com/nominate and add his email address into the form.",

"He'll instantly get a challenge to take the three minute Health Report.",
"This will ask him to add various information such as his weight, height, and sleeping habits and produce a series of detailed insights into his health and suggest lots of changes he can make.",
"Easy. Motivation: Another way to spur him on is to suggest he takes the three-minute Man V Fat health report, which takes into account factors such as weight, height and sleeping habits .",
"Be honest, but avoid ultimatums .",
"It would be unhealthy if you hid your feelings about you husband's weight, but make sure you examine where your motivation comes from.",
"Do you want to get him healthier because you want what's best for him, or because you're worried about him?",
"If so, let him know. If it's because you're embarrassed about his size or hate the way he looks then consider carefully before sharing.",
"Never give into the temptation to set a deadline or issue an ultimatum.",
"It might work, but it will breed resent and when he's got healthy and hot he might just consider his own ultimatum... Litter the horizon with possible goals .",
"Men love to have a goal to work towards and that focus can often be the impetus that they need to lose weight.",
"Whether it's a 5k race, a cycle ride or a Tough Mudder, it doesn't matter.",

"Prime Minster Tony Abbott stumbled over tough questions about which of his 'three' personas was the real Tony in a gruelling TV interview as it emerged up to six of the Prime Minster's most trusted lieutenants turned their back on him.",
"Six senior Cabinet members were part of the 39 who backed a spill motion on Monday, as did nine MPs who had previously promised to give him their support and vote it down, according to reports in the Daily Telegraph.",
"At least one was found making approaches to Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.",
"Scroll down for videos .",
"Prime Minster Tony Abbott stumbled over tough questions about which of his 'three' personas was real .",
"In a tense exchange with the 7.30 Report 's Leigh Sales on Monday night, Mr Abbott was accused of being unable to answer basic questions including 'Who are you?'",
"and 'What do you stand for?' However, after the 61-39 ballot, Mr Abbott promised 'good government starts today', after surviving 'a very chastening experience.'",
"and 'What do you stand for?'. Sales said the public had seen three different versions of Tony Abbott.",
"'We've had the Tony Abbott in opposition, the guy who promised no more chaos, the adults back in charge, there'd be no excuses, no broken promises,' she said.",
"'Then there's the Tony Abbott that we've had so far in government with the surprise policies and the broken promises and the captain's picks.",
"Mr Abbott might well reflect on the revelations that six of his ministers turned their back on him and voted for a leadership spill on Monday .",
"While Mr Abbott expressed contrition about his performance in recent weeks, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten today revelled in the prime minister's misfortune, questioning whether he had the mandate to remain leader .",
"'Now you're offering us a third Tony Abbott, one that's going to change.",
"Who are you?' The Prime Minister responded: 'Well Leigh, let's just focus for a second on the captain's picks, there have been two captain's picks.'",
"But Sales interjected: 'Can we actually just focus on the big picture there, because there's been three different Tony Abbotts.",
"I just want to know which one are you, who are you?'",
"Mr Abbott then steered the conversation back to the topic of 'captain's picks' – more specifically his paid parental leave scheme and his knighthood of Prince Phillip – but Sales pressed him again.",
"'How about my point, though, that we're up to Tony Abbott 3.0?",
"Do you accept that you have thoroughly confused the public about what your government is and what you stand for?'",
"Mr Abbott replied: 'Let's look at the situation that we inherited Leigh.'",
"Leadership murmurs: Mr Abbott was not opposed by any of his colleagues, including Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.",
"The pair are pictured sharing a moment on the floor of Parliament as it resumed in 2015 .",
"Discussion: Mr Abbott is now formulating plans on how his team can claw back support in the polls .",
"She responded: 'Can we just look at the big picture, about you?'",
"The Prime Minister then said: 'No, no, I'd rather have a conversation rather than an argument Leigh.'",
"Sales then said: 'No, no, I think it's a reasonable question and one that voters would be asking themselves and that it would be remiss of me not to put to you.'",
"Mr Abbott then responded by talking about the budget deficit.",
"'And let me answer it by saying going into the last election the then government was saying the deficit would be $18 billion,' he said.",
"'It turned out to be $48 billion, there was a $30 billion budget black hole that the Labor Party created, should have known about, and wasn't telling us about.",
"'Obviously when the circumstances change, there are some things that have to change with them.'",
"Mr Abbott continued by defending funding cuts to the ABC, to which Sales responded: .",
"Survivor: Mr Abbott survived the threat to his leadership, but 39 of his own MPs voted against his leadership .",
"'But it's interesting that you're not able to answer the question to me who are you, what do you stand for?",
"Which Tony are you?' Mr Abbott replied: .",
"'Well obviously we stand for a government which believes in lower taxes, smaller government, greater freedom.",
"'We are a government that believes in values and institutions that have stood the test of time.",
"'Above all else we are a pragmatic government which wants to do what works, and if we try to do something sensible one way and it doesn't work we'll try to bring about the same sensible outcome in another way.",
"'And there are challenges Leigh, we at least accept that there is a serious fiscal challenge, that a bit of intergenerational theft has been going on that the former government started and we are determined to fix.",
"The victor: Prime Minister Tony Abbott walks from the party room after a majority of his backbench voted against his leadership .",
"'The Labor Party is in denial about all these things.",
"Now, you can embrace a government which is not perfect but which is at least fair dinkum.",
"'Or you can go with the people that gave us that problem and are now trying to say that it's none of their fault and they're not even going to address it.'",
"Analysts predict Mr Abbott will get him through to the May Budget, as long as the NSW poll is not an unlikely unmitigated disaster, along the lines of Victoria and Queensland.",
"A majority of the Liberal backbench is thought to have voted against the PM and the vote count is considered dire for Mr Abbott, in that there was no direct challenger for his leadership.",
"Contrast: Mr Abbott swept into the party room meeting accompanied by his deputy leader, Julie Bishop and a large number of supporters.",
"The motion to spill the leadership was lost 61-39 .",
"On his own: Malcolm Turnbull arrived to the party room meeting without any colleagues in tow .",
"But the most recent Newspoll suggests the electorate will take some convincing, with Mr Abbott's disapproval rating at a record 68 per cent and Labor holding a clear two-party majority 57 to 43 per cent, if an election was held now.",
"Worse, the Newspoll figures revealed Mr Turnbull was by far the preferred Liberal Party leader, with 64 per cent voting in support of him compared to just 25 per cent backing Mr Abbott.",
"The poor approval ratings are the most bleak ranking for a Prime Minister in more than 20 years, comparable only to Paul Keating in 1994.",
"The PM conceded the government had been having a difficult time recently, citing the Queensland election result that delivered a massive swing against the Liberals.",
"'Who wouldn't be nervous after watching the result in Queensland,' he said.",
"'So all of us are determined to lift our game and the fundamental point I make is that the solution to all of these things is good government.",
"'And good government starts today.'",
"The sweet taste of the other side's leadership dramas.",
"Labor big-wigs Bill Shorten (centre), Tanya Plibersek and Penny Wong made sure to sweep by the assembled media after grabbing their morning coffees .",
"Time to pray: Mr Abbott appeared with his wife, Margie, at the traditional church service prior to the beginning of the year's first sitting week of Parliament .",
"Mr Abbott swept into the party room meeting on Monday morning flanked by a large throng of supporters but tellingly, Malcolm Turnbull was not one of them, sidling into the meeting on his own.",
"The vote was instigated by rebellious backbenchers, who revolted following his controversial decision to knight Prince Philip and the disastrous defeat of Campbell Newman's Liberal National government in Queensland two weeks ago.",

"A man secretly filmed his 15-year-old stepdaughter undressing, washing and going to the toilet, a court heard today.",
"Martyn Darlington spied on Jade Walsh using cameras he set up in her bedroom and the bathroom of the family home in Rhyl, North Wales.",
"The 39-year-old was today jailed for 14 months at Mold Crown Court after he admitted building up a collection of indecent photographs and videos of children as young as six.",
"Father, daughter and his partner: Martyn Darlington (left), of Rhyl, North Wales, spied on Jade Walsh (right, with mother Caroline Walsh) using cameras he set up in her bedroom and the bathroom of the family home .",
"Karl Scholz, prosecuting, told the court that Jade was the daughter of a woman named Caroline Walsh whom Darlington lived with and had been going out with for around eight years.",
"He said that at the age of 16 she left the family home but from being around 11, they were living at the same house.",
"‘She looked upon him as a father figure and trusted him implicitly,’ said Mr Scholz.",
"The court heard that police found 38 video files of Jade, which all appeared to have been taken at a time when she was around 15 years of age.",
"Mr Scholz said: ‘They involved the setting up of covert cameras so she was being filmed in her bedroom where she would be undressing for bed, and in the bathroom when she would be naked and using the toilet.’ On Jade’s 16th birthday, a camera which had been installed pointing towards her bed, was discovered.",
"Her mother confronted Darlington about it, and he claimed it had been put there to ‘check she was not being sexually active with any boyfriends that might come round’.",
"He disconnected the camera, but retained the memory card which contained videos of Jade, the court heard.",
"Referring to a victim impact statement written by Jade, Mr Scholz said she questioned what his motives might really have been in the period of time she lived with him when she might have given him a kiss or a hug.",
"Shocked: Caroline Walsh (pictured) confronted her partner about a camera which had been installed pointing towards Jade’s bed on her 16th birthday .",
"She said she is now suspicious of people and no longer feels able to trust others.",
"Mr Scholz told the court that the police were alerted to Darlington’s stash of child pornography following suspicions from his partner Ms Walsh.",
"It was at the couple’s home in Rhyl that officers found nearly 100,000 indecent images and 365 videos of children.",
"Jade questioned what Darlington's motives might really have been in the period of time she lived with him when she might have given him a kiss or a hug .",
"‘Caroline began to notice the defendant was spending an increasingly long period of time alone at his computer screen,’ he said.",
"‘He would always close the screen when she walked in.",
"‘In October 2013, her suspicions now being raised all the time as to what sort of material was found on his computer she asked two friends to come to the home when she was out to find out what files and folders were on the computer.’ The court heard how Darlington, a railway construction engineer, also subscribed to paying websites which allowed him to access images of children.",
"This material included photographs of girls as young as six, some naked and some in bikinis and underwear, posing provocatively.",
"Defending Darlington, Guy Dodd said: ‘He was a man of exemplary previous character.",
"That was until he developed an extremely unhealthy interest in internet porn over four years.",
"‘He spent most of the week, and some of the weekends, away from home and did feel very isolated and lonely on occasions.",
"‘He had little or no active sex life due to the nature of his job and having to work away and this led to him looking at adult porn sites which in the end became pretty obsessive .",
"‘He stumbled across a site that featured a child pornographic image.",
"He realises he should have stopped at that point and not taken it any further.",
"‘All this became fairly normalised in his mind.",
"He didn’t think he was doing anything seriously wrong.’ Darlington admitted three counts of voyeurism and 14 counts of possessing indecent images of children.",
"Judge Rhys Rowlands described his behaviour as ‘serious and disturbing’ and ordered him to sign the sex offenders register as well as making him subject to a ten-year sexual offences prevention order.",
"Jailing Darlington, the judge said: ‘In any view this was utter depraved behaviour on your part.",
"‘On examination of the material from your home revealed a vast collection of photographs and videos of young children and your step daughter in her home, dressing, washing and using the toilet.",
"‘You treated her as your daughter and she treated you as her father.",
"I’m dealing with a very bad breach of trust.’ Speaking after the case, Ms Walsh said: ‘I’m livid with the sentence.",
"He should have got five to ten years.",
"It’s definitely not long enough after everything he’s put our family through.’ Jade can be identified after she waived her right to anonymity."

"Tracy Taylor says she is shocked that the motorist who knocked her off her bike during a Christmas Eve hit-and-run has got away 'scot-free' A hit-and-run motorist who caused a cyclist shocking injuries after leaving her for dead in a muddy ditch will not face any criminal charges, it emerged today.",
"Mother-of-one Tracy Taylor was flung head-first off the road after a car ploughed into her bike while she was out cycling on Christmas Eve.",
"The 36-year-old, from Leek, Staffordshire, had stopped to take a photograph of the scenery when she was thrown nearly two metres in the air by a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction.",
"The fitness instructor then slid through the mud, knocking herself unconscious.",
"She also suffered a broken collar bone as well as cuts and bruises to her face.",
"But the driver drove away from the scene, leaving Ms Taylor for dead by the roadside in the Meerbrook area of the Staffordshire Moorlands.",
"Staffordshire Police launched an investigation and Ms Taylor released pictures of her injuries, prompting the driver to hand himself into police.",
"But the force said today that they will not prosecute the 18-year-old driver due to a lack of evidence.",
"Ms Taylor, who is recovering after undergoing an operation to insert metal pins into her shoulder, said she was shocked that the driver had got away 'scot-free'.",
"She said: 'The guy handed himself in to police a week after I released the pictures but he's essentially got off scot-free.",
"I just feel back to square one now, I'm really disappointed by the decision.'",
"The collision was also witnessed by Ms Taylor's friend Helen Birch-Machin, who was cycling with her at the time.",
"The 48-year-old called an ambulance and Ms Taylor was rushed to Macclesfield Hospital where she needed nine stitches to her wounds.",
"She is still unable to work.",
"Ms Taylor added: 'I just feel useless.",
"I haven't been able to work. I'm usually so fit and active and I haven't been able to run or cycle since.",
"The 36-year-old, from Leek, Staffordshire, suffered horrific facial injuries after being thrown off her bike into the mud (pictured left and right).",
"The driver will not face criminal charges, police say .",
"The fitness instructor landed on her face and was left with cuts and bruises (pictured) after the car, which was travelling in the opposite direction, ploughed into her while she was out cycling in Staffordshire .",
"'The police just told me there was lack of evidence and it's really difficult to prove dangerous driving.",
"'But just because its difficult I don't think it means they shouldn't try.",
"They have a witness already and you can see what he did to me in the pictures.",
"It was hard to take as the police had been really good to me.'",
"Ms Taylor said the case had been passed over to traffic officers, meaning the driver could still be charged with a lesser offence.",
"But she added: 'Its just a waiting game now for me to see whether I will ever be able to return to work.",
"But mentally it has been very difficult for me too.",
"Ms Taylor had been out with he friend Helen Birch-Machin when the pair stopped to take photographs of the scenery .",
"'I cannot remember Christmas or my 37th birthday, which was the following week.",
"I have been left physically scarred for life but the mental scars are much worse.",
"'In the meantime, it appears the person responsible for leaving me in this state has got away with it.'",
"Speaking at the time, Ms Taylor said she felt lucky to be alive.",
"'The car was approaching very fast and the next thing I knew I'd been knocked unconscious and was lying in the road,' she said.",
"The keen cyclist also suffered cuts and bruises to her legs (left and right) but was discharged from hospital in time for Christmas with her son .",
"She was treated at Macclesfield hospital where she had to have nine stitches for her injuries .",
"'My face was covered in mud and cuts, and my helmet was completely smashed to pieces.",
"'I kept coming in and out of consciousness and Helen called my dad because he was closer than any ambulance.",
"'I can't believe the driver left the scene - it was cowardly.",
"My bike helmet saved my life.",
"If it wasn't for my helmet I would be in a mortuary.'",
"A police spokesman said: 'There was insufficient evidence to charge the driver.",
"The cyclist has been updated on our decision.'"

"An 'invisible hand' of social convention is behind the mysterious rise and fall in the popularity which names parents pick for their children, according to a new study.",
"While some had theorized that celebrity parents, or even the government, influence whether Jessica or Taylor is in for a given year, scientists have found evidence that a more subtle phenomenon is at work.",
"According to the academics behind the study, the process of subconsciously trying to fit in with everybody else in a social group always leads to clear winners - even though it is impossible to pick who they are.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Experiment: Scientists tested how trends emerged by asking subjects to name people in pictures they were shown, with a reward for choosing the same as somebody else.",
"After a series of rounds, a set of most popular names emerged .",
"Shifting tastes: The authors say their study disproves the notion that institutions or celebrities lead trends like baby naming - which instead happen by themselves .",
"Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and City University, London asked a group of people to pick names for a series of faces that flashed in front of them in an online game.",
"Using small amounts of money, the players were rewarded for picking the same name as others in the group, and penalized for choosing a different one.",
"Each time the results were different, players of the so-called Name Game were shown what other users picked, helping to inform their next choice.",
"After several rounds of chaos, a few clear winners emerged, and a set of most popular names was born.",
"Damon Centola, one of the authors, explained the process to the Washington Post.",
"He said: 'In the very first few rounds, it was just utter failure and no one could match' 'But then you had a small, minor option that all of a sudden became explosively used by strangers - it just caught on like wildfire, and within a few rounds, was universally adopted.'",
"Snap! In the above screenshot from the Name Game, some players chose the same name as each other, winning a reward, while others were penalized .",
"Larger groups of people required longer for a consensus to emerge - but the overall trend was the same, according to the study, which was published in the PNAS academic journal.",
"The trend appears to play out as explained on a much larger playing field.",
"Baby names across all of the United States, compiled from birth records by the Social Security Administration, follow .",
"Andrea Baronchelli, the co-author of the study, described the phenomenon as 'spontaneous emergence'.",
"She said: 'Spontaneous emergence is like the existence of an invisible hand.",
"'Everybody is just trying to agree with their social circle, and spontaneously there will be the emergence of a single consensus.'",
"Though the theory of spontaneous emergence is not new, the study marks the first time scientists have tested it on a large group - in this case around 100 people.",
"As well as the narrow field of baby naming, the findings could can be applied to a much wider array of social conventions, such as changes in language or style.",
"Trends: The study helps explain why baby names change in popularity.",
"Above are the top 20 baby names in the Untied States for three different years - 1990 (left), 2000 (center) and 2013 (right).",
"While some names, like Elizabeth, feature in all three, many have dropped away after ten or twenty years ."

"There was no indication by Williams, who has anchored NBC Nightly News since 2004, that an absence was forthcoming during his newscast Friday.",
"He signed off as he usually does, saying he hoped people would be back to see him Monday.",
"Holt did mention Williams' leave in Saturday's newscast.",
"'A word tonight about our colleague Brian Williams, who you may know has been under scrutiny this past week over his recollection of certain stories he's covered,' Holt said before reading Williams' memo to viewers.",
"Since Williams' apology, questions also have been raised about his claim that he saw a body or bodies in the Hurricane Katrina floodwaters that hit New Orleans in 2005.",
"His remarks in a 2006 interview drew suspicion because there was relatively little flooding in New Orleans' French Quarter, the area where Williams was staying.",
"A person at NBC confirmed that Williams stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, which is in an area where a news photographer and a law enforcement official said they saw bodies.",
"Williams' troubles began last month when he broadcast an item about meeting up with war vet Command Sgt.",
"Major Tim Terpack, who the anchor had befriended in 2003 in Iraq .",
"The effect on 'Nightly News' remains to be seen.",
"But even if its ratings suffer for a long period, it wouldn't be enough to damage the credit profile of parent Comcast Corp., said Mike Simonton, an analyst with Fitch Ratings.",
"'Comcast is a large, diverse media conglomerate with meaningful financial cushion to endure weakness in any one of its smaller divisions over a period of time,' he said.",
"Other media companies have survived departures of on-air stars, Simonton said.",
"Paul Levinson, professor of communications and media studies at Fordham University, called Williams' time off a good idea for him and NBC News.",
"'It gives him a chance to catch his breath and, on a human level, it must be excruciating to get on the air and report the news and not say anything about this,' Levinson said.",
"NBC News, he said, 'wants to be in the business of reporting on the news, and not have people thinking, 'is he telling the truth?''",
"Weekend anchor Lester Holt is currently filling in after Williams announced that he was temporarily stepping away from the NBC Nightly News .",
"Rich Hanley, director of the graduate journalism program at Quinnipiac University, also lauded Williams' leave.",
"It buys time for the network to assemble a contingency plan in the event it determines to suspend or remove him, Hanley said.",
"A final decision may await the finding of any 'collateral impact' on another key NBC program, Today, which would be evident when the February ratings numbers come out, he said.",
"Nightly News has reigned as the top-rated evening newscast over its competition on CBS and ABC.",
"Williams' importance to NBC News goes beyond his anchor status, said Al Tompkins, a faculty member for broadcast and online at The Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank.",
"'He sets the tone of the network.",
"It may not be as critical as when (Walter) Cronkite was CBS' anchor, in every way, but he is more than a face,' he said.",
"Williams' absence itself is a delicate challenge, according to Tompkins.",
"'He can't be gone long. The timing will be critical — too short and it won't seem like he has taken himself out of the game long enough, and too long and he looks like damaged goods,' he said."

"Friday night's television ratings reveal that Brian Williams' Nightly News broadcast was soundly beaten by rival ABC .",
"World News Tonight hosted by David Muir attracted almost half a million more viewers than under-fire Williams .",
"ABC had also won the ratings war by almost 400,000 viewers the previous Friday night .",
"Williams has temporarily stepped away from the NBC Nightly News calling it 'painfully apparent' that he had become a distracting news story ."

"Scientists have developed a transparent eggshell that allows the growth of an embryo to be monitored in a laboratory.",
"While the ‘egg’ itself was artificial, the bird embryo inside is very much real - and allows the researchers a unique glimpse into how embryos develop .",
"The method could be used to perform test drugs and techniques on embryos grown in this way, rather than performing tests on laboratory animals.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Scientists in Beijing have created a see-through eggshell (shown looking at the top).",
"They grew a real avian embryo for 17 days - three days before it hatched.",
"The shell was made of a silicon-based organic polymer.",
"It is the first time such an egg has been grown in a laboratory .",
"The embryo featured in the video didn't hatch to grow into an adult bird, but scientists say their methods could allow embryos to be manipulated to understand how various biological processes work.",
"The method could be a breakthrough in ‘lab-on-a-chip’ technologies, which can simulate a variety of organs such as the heart, kidneys or skin.",
"Improvements in genetics are causing designer babies to near '100 per cent efficiency' in trials using mice, a leading scientist warned last month.",
"Dr Tony Perry, a geneticist at the University of Bath, said that society needed to be prepared for the day parents can choose certain traits in their children.",
"The warning followed a breakthrough in April in which scientists were able to cure a genetic liver disease in living, adult mice using the Crispr-Cas9 gene editing technique.",
"Unlike other gene-silencing tools, the Crispr system targets the genome's source material and permanently turns off genes at the DNA level.",
"Dr Perry told the BBC that it may soon find its way into fertility treatments.",
"'There are heritable diseases coded by mutations in DNA and some people could say, \"I don't want my children to have these mutations,'\" he said.",
"He said it is up to society, and not just scientists, to look at the implications and decide whether the technology is worth the risk.",
"The goal is to use stem cells to make miniature replicas of organs and see how they react to drugs and treatments.",
"A benefit of doing this is that, rather performing tests on laboratory animals, the tests can be carried out on specific organs.",
"Embryos, though, are particularly hard to replicate.",
"This is the first time a so-called ‘egg-on-a-chip’ has been created in the laboratory.",
"The two scientists, from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, part of the School of Medicine, at Tsinghua University in Beijing, published their research in the journal Science China Technological Sciences.",
"The artificial shell matches the shape and curvature of a real eggshell, and uses a transparent layer of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) - a silicon-based organic polymer.",
"It is also soft, to mimic the texture of a real shell.",
"In experiments, carried out over the course of about two years, the scientists constructed a series of the artificial eggshells.",
"They then cultivated avian embryos for up to 17.5 days - slightly less time than the 20 days required for it to hatch, according to Science Alert.",
"In a video the embryo is seen moving around inside the egg, and provides an easier method of observing the evolution of an embryo over time.",
"The method could allow embryos to be altered to observe changes in how birds grow (stock image of an egg hatching sown).",
"And there are hopes the method could be replicated for human embryos .",
"Previously, scientists had to rely on a method known as ‘windowing’ to get a peek into the processes going on inside an egg.",
"This essentially involved removing part of the shell and replacing it with a transparent material.",
"In their paper the researchers say the new method ‘promises a future strategy for “lab-on-an-egg” technology which may be important in a wide variety of either fundamental or practical areas.’ Practical applications are likely to include the injection of blood or any body fluidic specimens into this \"egg-on-a-chip\" for early diagnosis.",
"This is because an egg has the potential to function as an amplification system.",
"And there are also hopes that the method may be a precursor to similar laboratory experiments for human embryos.",
"Here the process of removing the embryo from an egg and placing it in the artificial shell is shown .",
"Inside the shell, the embryo was allowed to grow for up to 17.5 days - three days before it hatched ."

"It appears that a double life sentence isn't enough to cow 85-year-old mobster James 'Whitey' Bulger.",
"The Boston gangster allegedly had an improper relationship last year with a female psychologist at the maximum security prison in Tucson, Arizona where he was being held - resulting in him being swiftly transferred to a Florida facility and the woman being suspended from her job.",

"James 'Whitey' Bulger (pictured in 2011) was suddenly moved to a prison in Florida last summer, reportedly because he was having an improper relationship with a prison psychologist who managed to get him privileges such as writing to his girlfriend (and fellow prisoner) Catherine Greig .",
"Grieg is currently jailed at a minimum-security facility in Waseca, Minnesota for harboring a fugitive and is due to be released in 2018.",
"In 2013, Bulger was convicted and sentenced on racketeering charges that tied him to 11 murders and other gangland crimes from the 1970s and 1980s.",
"The Globe reported that Bulger had become something of a celebrity on arrival at the Arizona prison in January 2014.",
"He had posed for photographs inside the prison and reportedly loved to tell stories about his violent past.",
"A portrait of Bulger as a young man, with his inmate number during his time at Alcatraz, has even been posted to eBay reportedly signed by the notorious gangster and the artist, Josh Pietrantonio.",
"A source close to Mr Pietrantonio told Daily Mail Online on Monday that Bulger had signed a few pieces for the artist and the pair had become good friends - 'one of his only friends' - at the federal prison.",
"During his time in Tucson, it also appears as if Bulger turned his charms on the prison psychologist, who has not been identified.",
"A Justice Department investigation has been launched, according to the Boston Globe, with agents questioning Bulger and the counselor about their relationship.",

"The investigation is also looking into whether the psychologist tried to make money selling autographed pictures of Bulger, whose life story has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries and an upcoming movie starring Johnny Depp.",
"The female employee has denied doing anything illegal.",
"She was barred from the prison, according to The Globe, but is still on the payroll.",

"Andrew Hine, headteacher at Benjamin Britten High School in Lowestoft, Suffolk, has introduced 'time out' cards, allowing pupils to leave their lessons .",
"A scheme at a troubled school where disruptive or emotional pupils can walk out of class has been branded an ‘admission of failure’.",
"Children are issued with a ‘time out’ card that can be waved at a teacher when they feel overwhelmed by ‘complex and often confidential issues’.",
"There is no limit on its use, allowing cardholders to leave whenever they feel like it.",
"The school – Benjamin Britten High in Lowestoft, Suffolk – defended the scheme, saying only 4 per cent of its pupils had one of the cards.",
"But education experts warned classmates might be encouraged to misbehave to gain the same privileges.",
"‘This allows children to get out of lessons as a reward for poor behaviour and will be seen as a badge of honour,’ said Chris McGovern of the Campaign for Real Education.",
"‘It’s a topsy-turvy approach where the children are in charge of discipline rather than the teacher, which would tend to undermine the disciplinary structure.",
"It is an admission of failure by the school – a last, desperate measure.’ The scheme was also bad training for life, Mr McGovern added, because ‘bus drivers and bank managers can’t just walk out when they’ve had enough’.",
"The laminated cards, which are printed with the pupil’s name, are understood to have been introduced around three years ago.",
"The co-educational school – which has the motto ‘A fresh way of thinking’ – has about 950 children, meaning almost 40 have a card.",
"Pupils who excuse themselves are expected to go to the ‘student office’ where they are supervised by an adult.",
"The school was put into special measures in October following a devastating Ofsted report.",
"Inspectors criticised weak teaching, low expectations of pupils, low-level disruption in lessons, widespread bullying and poor attendance.",
"It has also been hit by a series of teacher strikes over pay deals and lesson monitoring.",
"Last year only 37 per cent of GCSE students achieved five A* to C grades including English and maths, well below the national target.",
"One parent, who declined to be named, said: ‘The scheme is wide open to abuse.",
"Badly behaved kids only have to get one of these cards and they can get a free pass out of lessons.’ The scheme at the school in Lowestoft, Suffolk, (pictured) is designed so that other children in the class can continue with lessons, without their learning being disrupted by pupils who require the cards .",
"The school said the cards are given to students following a ‘review of their needs, often on the recommendation of external specialists’.",
"Use of the card ‘varies from student to student’ and frequent use will ‘trigger a review of that student’s needs’.",
"Headteacher Andrew Hine added that the scheme was ‘tailored to a minority of students who may be dealing with a range of issues, such as managing their anger responses; bereavement and family illness; issues relating to mental health problems’.",
"He added: ‘The way students use the cards is reviewed regularly and this is a major step in keeping students in mainstream lessons.",
"‘The strategy has been key in reducing classroom disruption and allowing the rest of the class to continue learning.’"

"Andorra may be one of the cheapest places to go skiing, and ahead of the half-term holidays it may just be the best.",
"Heavy snowfall around the Pyrenees has left skiing conditions in the European country being described as 'amazing,' and the forecast doesn't look likely to change over the next few days.",
"In-resort costs have dropped as much as 23 per cent on last year in Andorra, with Soldeu providing the cheapest option for a ski trip, according to the latest stats from Post Office Travel Money.",
"Heavy snowfall across the Pyrenees will be music to the ears of those planning a ski trip to the region .",
"With much of Europe under a deluge of snow, this opens up some tricky decisions as to which ski resort will offer the best overall deal .",
"It may be good news for skiers, but heavy snow on the Pyrenees has not being met with similar enthusiasm by townsfolk .",
"The Andorran ski resort of Soldeu has seen the biggest slide with a 23 per cent price reduction at resort .",
"This takes into account costs such as equipment, six-day passes, lessons and food and drink.",
"Around six-and-a-half feet of snow was reported to have fallen in Andorra last week, with ski resorts expecting the conditions to attract a raft of tourists over the holidays.",
"Once the falling snow ceases, visibility will improve which mean Andorra could be the place to go this ski season.",
"Koko Sarkari, from the International Currency Exchange (ICE) told MailOnline Travel: 'When looking at the cost of a ski pass to compare relative costs in popular ski destinations across Europe, those travelling to Andorra will be paying around 45 Euros for an adult compared to 49 Euros in Courcheval in France or 50 Euros in Val d'Isere.",
"'Eating out isn't too expensive - in Andorra a meal for two in a mid-range restaurant can be had for around 35 Euros, whereas it's a little cheaper in Val d'sere and Courcheval at around 30 Euros**.",
"'So while ski pass costs are slightly cheaper and meals slightly more expensive than neighbouring ski destinations in France, the real cost benefit of going to Andorra right now is that skiers can capitalise on the weakness of the Euro, which is accepted widely in the country.",
"'Last February, £1 bought 1.17 Euros, this year it's around 1.30 offering a saving of around £4 on a ski pass.'",
"And France, while generally being at the other end of the cost scale to Andorra, is also likely to be a popular destination, with five feet of snow falling in Avoriaz and Chamonix.",
"Val d'Isère has been the big winner in France, with the Tarentaise Valley ski resort recording a depth of 5ft 7ins of snow on the upper pistes.",
"Upper pistes in Serre Chevalier in the French Alps have over 5ft of snow.",
"After they scrapped the Euro cap on the Swiss Franc, a rise against the Euro has even led to many cancelling prospective ski trips to Switzerland due to fears of escalating prices.",
"But Verbier offers high thrills to the skier, with the highest pistes holding a 190cm-deep snow base.",

"Dave Dowdeswell developed diabetes due to stress .",
"The popular image of a patient with type 2 diabetes is someone who's overweight, with a couch-potato lifestyle.",
"It's a stereotype that makes salesman Dave Dowdeswell furious.",
"The father-of-two, now 48, developed the condition at the age of 44 when he had a 32 in waist and weighed only 12 st - almost ideal for his 5 ft 9 in height.",
"As a keen windsurfer and diver who also walked his dog every day, he was physically fit.",
"There was no family history of type 2 diabetes, and he doesn't even have a sweet tooth.",
"In fact, Dave ticked none of the normal risk-factor boxes, such as being overweight or having a waist of 37 in or more.",
"So how did he become one of almost three million people in the UK with type 2?",
"His doctors believe the trigger was stress.",
"In the 12 months before he began to feel unwell, he had witnessed his 19-year-old daughter Gemma being knocked over by a car and breaking her neck after a family meal out; his thriving paint-spraying business had collapsed because of falling trade and teetered on the verge of bankruptcy, and his beloved bulldog died.",
"Then, in November 2010, Dave unexpectedly lost his 70-year-old father to cirrhosis of the liver.",
"'That really hit me for six.",
"He went into hospital and never came out,' says Dave, who lives in Portsmouth.",
"'He went downhill so quickly and I couldn't believe it when he died.",
"We were close and it hit me so badly.'",
"Within a week Dave started to feel ill himself.",
"'I was suddenly needing to get up two or three times a night to have a pee.",
"'I was also drinking around two pints of orange juice in one go, and I couldn't wait to finish a meal so I could have a drink of water or orange juice as I felt so thirsty.",
"'We were on a scuba-diving holiday in Egypt at the time, but my wife Adriana said: \"As soon as we get home, I think you should get yourself to the doctor.\"",
"' He dutifully did and the doctor decided to test him for diabetes.",
"A blood test revealed that his sugar level was sky-high - 28, when it should have been 7 at most.",
"The doctor diagnosed type 2 diabetes.",
"'I couldn't understand why me,' says Dave.",
"'I asked the doctor \"what caused this?\"",
"and he said \"it could be the stress\".",
"I thought about my year and realised that must be it.'",
"Stress is a known trigger for many conditions, from skin complaints such as psoriasis to irritable bowel syndrome.",
"But increasingly studies suggest that it may also be linked to type 2 diabetes, no matter how healthy your lifestyle.",
"He is now having Byetta injections that increase the amount of insulin his body produces .",
"Research published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine last September found that those under extreme pressure at work were 45 per cent more likely to develop the condition than those under minimal pressure.",
"The results were based on a 13-year study of 5,000 men and women.",
"Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or becomes less sensitive to its effects.",
"Insulin acts like a key to allow sugar into cells and if, for example, someone is overweight that key works less well.",
"One theory is that the stress hormone cortisol may also alter the body's sensitivity to insulin.",
"'Stress leads to a rise in cortisol, a steroid hormone, and sometimes when you give individuals steroids (drugs that resemble cortisol) at a high dose, this impedes the action of insulin,' says Naveed Sattar, professor of medicine at the University of Glasgow.",
"'So when we do a risk score to see how likely someone is to develop type 2 diabetes, we do ask if they are on steroids, as this can increase their risk.'",
"While Professor Sattar is not convinced that this means stress itself is a direct cause of diabetes, other experts believe it is.",
"Professor Andrew Steptoe, a psychologist and epidemiologist from University College London, says his research shows that people with type 2 diabetes react to stress differently - but whether this is what caused their diabetes or is a result of it, is not clear.",
"In a study of 420 adults, his team found that those with type 2 took longer to recover from a stressful event - their blood pressure and heart rate took longer to return to normal than those without diabetes.",
"The results were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.",
"'Everyone responds to stress with an increase in pulse rate, blood pressure and release of stress hormones,' says Professor Steptoe.",
"But there was a difference in the length of this response between the healthy participants and those with type 2 - 'Ninety minutes after a stress experience they still hadn't returned to normal levels, unlike the healthy participants'.",
"Furthermore, Professor Steptoe found that the type 2 diabetics had higher levels of cortisol.",
"'It might be that they are more exposed to stress, or that they are in a state of high-level activation of the stress response.'",
"Dave, with wife Adriana, has also ensured his lifestyle is as straightforward and stress-free as possible .",
"Next he plans to follow up healthy people in the study who also showed a prolonged response to stress, to see if they develop type 2.",
"Professor Steptoe says further research is needed, but adds that we may need to rethink the risk factors for type 2 diabetes and include stress among them.",
"People with type 2 seem to think there is a strong correlation between stress and the onset of their condition.",
"A survey of more than 500 patients for the online forum diabetes.co.uk found that 78 per cent believed their condition was brought on by, for example, stress in the workplace, long hours, the breakdown of a marriage or a family bereavement.",
"Often, adopting a healthy lifestyle is the first course of action for those newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, to help get their blood sugar back into normal range.",
"But for Dave, who had no need to lose weight or get fitter, controlling his diabetes was initially harder.",
"'It took a year to stabilise my blood sugar levels,' he says.",
"'They put me on metformin and other drugs but my blood sugar only went down a bit, so now I also have Byetta injections that increase the amount of insulin my body produces - I inject it once in the morning and once at night, and that's got my blood sugar down.'",
"He has also ensured that his lifestyle is as straightforward and stress-free as possible.",
"'I am enjoying life - thankfully my daughter recovered - and trying to avoid stress where I can.",
"I have given up my business and sell log cabins in a garden centre now - it's not a stressful job and suits me very well.",
"'But what really annoys me is that people think you can only get type 2 if you are really unhealthy and have a huge beer belly.",
"They insinuate that it's somehow my fault and that I need to get off the sofa and stop eating so many doughnuts.",
"'If I can get type 2, anyone can.'",
"Other conditions linked to stress .",
"Heart disease .",
"Studies have suggested that stress can increase the chance of heart disease and of having a heart attack, and scientists are just starting to understand why.",
"Last year a study by Harvard Medical School that assessed 29 doctors after a busy week in intensive care found their white blood cells count was high.",
"Other studies have suggested that white blood cells can rupture fatty deposits in the artery walls, which can lead to a heart attack.",
"Colds . Cold symptoms are caused by the immune system's inflammatory response to the cold virus.",
"The stress hormone cortisol temporarily dampens down this response so your cold symptoms aren't so obvious.",
"However, if you're chronically stressed you become less sensitive to cortisol, so the inflammatory response increases and you end up with a full-on cold, according to 2012 research reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.",
"Stress is a known trigger for skin complaints, gut disorders and colds .",
"Gut disorders .",
"Stress can alter the rate at which food and waste travel through the system, and change gut secretions.",
"It can make the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome or indigestion worse.",
"GORD - gastro-intestinal reflux, when stomach contents rise back up the gullet - can also be triggered by stress.",
"Skin complaints .",
"Stress is a known trigger for skin complaints such as psoriasis, eczema and acne, as it encourages inflammation which makes these conditions worse."

"A woman who became known as 'Granny Canute' after moving into a cliff-edge caravan when her house fell into the sea has been given six months to evacuate the site.",
"Bryony Nierop-Reading has been ordered by to vacate the mobile home she moved into when cliff erosion destroyed her three-bedroom bungalow in Happisburgh, Norfolk, in December 2013.",
"Planning bosses at North Norfolk County Council say the caravan, which has sat in the 69-year-old's garden for 13 years, is not fit for residential purpose.",
"After turning down a compensation offer for the land in 2009, the grandmother-of-seven may be left homeless if evicted on August 25, as threatened.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Bryony Nierop-Reading has been told she must leave the caravan (above) she moved into when her home on the Norfolk coast was destroyed by erosion in 2013.",
"The pensioner keeps the mobile home in her garden .",
"While neighbours all accepted the £13,000 sum, Mrs Nierop-Reading couldn't bring herself to leave the house which she bought in 2008 after falling in love with its views of the North Sea.",
"Having watched the bungalow being torn down, the pensioner says she is being now being treated unkindly.",
"'I’m shocked and very angry.",
"I can’t believe they are acting so harshly towards me,' Mrs Nierop-Reading said.",
"'The council is being totally unfair and unreasonable.",
"I cannot understand why I can’t stay here until the end of next year,” she insisted.",
"Mrs Nierop-Reading added she had hoped to remain on the land for two years.",
"'I hope that by then I’ll have enough money to buy a home somewhere else in the village.'",
"Despite being offered compensation to leave the land in 2009, she claimed not enough help was offered by local authorities to residents whose homes are under threat from the environment.",
"The 69-year-old's three-bedroom bungalow was torn down by the council after part of the property was destroyed by a huge wave in December 2013 .",
"A huge wave pulled the foundations from beneath part of the house, leaving Mrs Nierop-Reading's bathroom and parts of her bedroom hanging over the cliff .",
"Mrs Nierop-Reading turned down the council's offer of compensation to leave the land in 2009, instead remaining hopeful she could spend more time in the house she fell in love with for its sea views .",
"'The planning regulations were not framed to make allowance for people like me who lose their houses to the sea.",
"'But it is going to happen more and more in the future so they need to start making the planning regulations more flexible and able to take account of environmental evacuees.'",
"Council leader Tom FitzPatrick said he had 'every sympathy' with people like Mrs Nierop-Reading who had been seriously affected by devastating erosion and dramatic storm damage.",
"In 1996, the property was some considerable distance from the cliff-edge .",
"But having refused to sell her bungalow to the council when approached, it would be, he said, 'not fair or consistent' to make special allowances for her case.",
"Mrs Nierop-Reading said she will appeal the eviction notice, adding: 'I’m still convinced that it would have been immoral to have accepted a home from the council when I already had one and others were in greater need than me.'",
"In 2008, Mrs Nierop-Reading bought the property for £25,000 while it was 20ft from the water's edge.",
"A year later she was approached by council officials warning the house and those surrounding it would be swallowed by the sea.",
"Her neighbours took their offer of £13,000 in compensation, but Mrs Nierop-Reading remained on the site.",
"In 2012 she claims the erosion process was quickened by the council's removing of wooden revetment sea defences.",
"The following year, a huge wave destroyed the ground beneath the bungalow's foundations, leaving her bathroom, pantry and part of her bedroom hanging over the cliff.",
"Mrs Nierop-Reading, who is lives alone, was able to remove some of her possessions before the council tore down the rest of the house.",
"Her battle against the raging sea led to her being dubbed Granny Canute after the 11th century king who claimed he had the power to hold back the sea.",
"North Norfolk County Council did not comment on the issue this morning.",
"In the years since she bought it for £25,000, the property was under threat from the receding cliff-edge ."

"Harold Seymore, 31, is intersex, meaning she was born with functioning male and female reproductive organs, but she was brought up male and kept her condition largely hidden.",

"She was convicted of sexual battery with no great harm, battery and petty theft, and on Friday Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Teresa Mary Pooler sentenced her to 15 years and 10 years probation.",

"Seymore, who has a lengthy criminal history, has always been housed in single-person safety cells in Miami-Dade jails so that she is kept away from the male population.",
"This has meant that she has largely served time in isolation.",
"'Twenty-three hours a day in solitary,' she told the Miami Herald in an interview.",
"'I got the yard by myself. I have to take showers by myself.'",
"She will now be transferred to the state prison system and will be screened for risk of sexual victimization or sexual abusiveness twice a year, as is law.",

"She that she grew up hiding her female sexual organs and her dreams of having children one day, explaining: 'It was safer to identify as a male.'",
"She was first arrested at age 14 for carrying a concealed weapon to school, and later arrests included battery, petty theft, disorderly conduct and cocaine possession.",
"Arrests: Since the age of 14, Seymore (left in 2004 and right in 2014) has been arrested multiple times and was arrested in 2005 for sexual battery.",

"She told the Herald that wearing a Theory dress borrowed from her public defender Stacy Marczak to court for the trial signaled the start of her new life.",

"'We all said our goodbyes with smiling faces, never imagining it would be the last time we would see her.'",

"'Being the wonderful strong woman and mother that she was and understanding the personal risk, she chose to wait until 35 weeks when the baby would be strong enough to survive,' Janet writes.",
"That decision ultimately cost Suzanne her life, while it potentially saved Owen's.",
"Suzanne was rushed into surgery following the delivery.",
"With placenta accreta, the placental blood vessels grow too deeply into the mother's uterus and sometimes into surrounding organs.",
"Giving birth with the condition is usually followed by the removal of the uterus and surgery to stop any hemorrhaging that can occur as the blood vessels are severed.",

"Suzanne knew the risks but chose to carry the baby to term in order to ensure he'd be born healthy .",
"Suzanne Mazzola died after childbirth because of a serious case of a condition known as placenta accreta, which affects as many as 1 in 533 pregnant women--and can be fatal in as many as 7 percent of those affected.",
"The Mayo Clinic defines placenta accreta as: .",
"A serious pregnancy condition that occurs when blood vessels and other parts of the placenta grow too deeply into the uterine wall...",
"Typically, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall after childbirth.",
"With placenta accreta, part or all of the placenta remains strongly attached.",
"This can cause vaginal bleeding during the third trimester of pregnancy and severe blood loss after delivery.",
"It's also possible for the placenta to invade the muscles of the uterus (placenta increta) or grow through the uterine wall (placenta percreta).",
"If extensive placenta accreta is suspected during pregnancy, you'll likely need a C-section delivery followed by the surgical removal of your uterus (hysterectomy).",

"'I am sure there are brilliant teachers who are nuns': Labour education spokesman Tristram Hunt was forced to admit he backed nuns as teachers .",
"Labour's education spokesman yesterday refused six times to say nuns can be good teachers before finally admitting that they can do a ‘fantastic job’.",
"Tristram Hunt caused fury when he appeared to doubt their abilities during an appearance on the BBC’s Question Time last week.",
"Yesterday, he was repeatedly asked on the Andrew Marr Show whether nuns could be good teachers, but kept avoiding giving a direct answer until the host demanded for a seventh time that he answer the ‘very straightforward question’.",
"The former TV historian eventually conceded: ‘I am sure there are brilliant teachers who are nuns who are doing a fantastic job.’ Last week he was accused of ‘denigrating’ Roman Catholicism and being ‘ignorant’ and ‘arrogant’.",
"During a debate over Labour’s policy of requiring all teachers to have official qualifications, Mr Hunt clashed with Cristina Odone, former editor of the Catholic Herald.",
"The political commentator said some of her most inspiring teachers did not go to teacher training college and taught ‘real values’.",
"But Mr Hunt said: ‘These were all nuns, weren’t they?",
"… I know about your religious schooling and there’s a difference, I think, between a state education system having qualified teachers in the classroom.’ Miss Odone later told her former publication: ‘Tristram Hunt’s comments on nuns last night were arrogant and ignorant.",
"Why is it acceptable to denigrate anything Catholic but bleat tolerance about every other religion?",
"'To know he and Labour stand a chance at the next election makes me fear for the 7,000 brilliant faith schools in this country.’ The shadow education secretary’s remarks led to outrage on Twitter.",
"Tory MP Conor Burns wrote: ‘Absolutely shocking, sneering comments by Tristram Hunt about Catholic schools and nuns.’ Furore: Former Catholic Herald editor Christina Odone, left, was outraged after Mr Hunt, right, said there was a difference between nuns and properly qualified teachers in the state education system .",
"Former Labour spin doctor Damian McBride added: ‘My mum spent most of her career teaching in a convent school, working alongside nuns.",
"They gave incredible educations.’ Nadine Dorries, a Tory MP, said it was an ‘arrogant, sneering, intolerant remark’, adding: ‘If Labour had any chance of holding on to its Catholic Glasgow seats, it lost it last night with Tristram Hunt’s remarks.’ Fellow Conservative MP Henry Smith pointed out that Mr Hunt had taught history in schools ‘despite not being qualified’.",
"Yesterday, Mr Hunt said: ‘If I offended nuns in any way, that certainly wasn’t my intention.",
"My point was that we need a highly effective, qualified teacher cohort in our schools.’"

"The number of men having breast reduction surgery on the NHS has over doubled since 2009, new figures reveal.",
"Cruelly dubbed ''moobs' - or man boobs - 200 men in the last five years have been so distressed by their chests that they have undergone operations on the NHS to reduce their size, according to data which emerged during a response to a parliamentary question.",
"Between 2009 and 2010 only 18 operations were performed on the NHS but by 2013 to 2014 the number had risen to 39.",
"Many more procedures are believed to have been carried out privately.",
"The number of male breast reductions performed on the NHS has doubled since 2009 .",
"Speaking to FEMAIL, consultant plastic surgeon at the Liverpool Women's Hospital, Kevin Handcock, explains that moobs, which are technically called gynaecomastia, can occur for two reasons.",
"'The two types are known as 'true gynaecomastia' and 'false gynaecomastia'.",
"'True gynaecomastia is when a man actually develops breast tissue, and usually presents in teenagers and young adults.",
"Occasionally it can also occur later in life as a side-effect of drugs for various conditions.",
"'Where as in false gynaecomastia, no real breast tissue has developed and the appearance of breasts is purely down to fat.'",
"It is easy then, with the knowledge that the UK obesity crisis continues to get worse, to assume the rise in the number of 'moob' reductions is purely due to more overweight men developing fatty chests.",
"Tam Fry, spokesperson for the National Obesity Forum told FEMAIL: 'Obesity is starting to get out of control in the UK.",
"Though men still only account for one in ten plastic surgery patients, figures are rising .",
"'This sort of thing will only increase in the future.",
"We will see increase in treatments of many of the other conditions associated with obesity.",
"It is something that specialists in this area are extremely worried about.'",
"However, consultant plastic surgeon Kevin Handcock says this might not be the only reason for the increase.",
"'People are becoming more aware that there is treatment available for this,' he explains.",
"'Men who in the past would have suffered in silence, hiding under baggy T-shirts now feel able to come forward and do something about it.'",
"Now that there is less stigma attached to men having cosmetic surgery, it seems we might begin to see numbers of all procedures rise, although men still only account for one in ten cosmetic procedures according to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons."

"The Deputy Director of the Secret Service has been reassigned within the Department of Homeland Security, the agency said Monday.",
"A 29-year-veteran of the government's security arm, A.T. Smith is stepping down from his position as the second-highest ranking Secret Service officer in the latest shake up at the agency as it reinvents itself in the wake of numerous high-profile security breaches involving the president.",
"At least five other Secret Service officials have been ordered to seek other positions within DHS or retire in the last several weeks, and the director of the Secret Service was dismissed last fall.",
"Smith, who had been deputy director since 2012, was in charge of day-to-day operations at the agency and managing its 6,500 employees.",
"'Deputy Director Smith has had an exceptional law enforcement career,' Acting Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy said in a statement on Monday.",
"'His contributions to the agency have been invaluable.",
"I salute his distinguished service to the Secret Service and the nation.'",
"Clancy and Smith were scheduled to update the House Government and Oversight Committee on Thursday on the agency's ongoing review of internal operations.",
"In light of today's news, the committee's chairman, Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, and ranking member, Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, said in a joint statement the hearing had been postponed.",
"Chaffetz, a Republican, had called for Smith's firing over departmental issues, including an incident detailed in an October inspector general report in which Smith pulled agents off the White House and sent them to the Maryland home of an agency employee feuding with a neighbor.",
"'Last week, we met jointly with the White House Counsel and the Department of Homeland Security and expressed our shared conviction that the Secret Service needs to turn the page with respect to its senior leadership,' Chaffetz and Cummings said in their statement today.",
"'We commend the Department for its numerous personnel actions last month, as well as its recent decision to transfer the Deputy Director out of the agency.'",
"The congressmen said they were pushing Thursday's committee hearing to give Clancy more time and 'to ensure that he is able to focus on bolstering the Secret Service’s core mission of protecting the President, his family, and numerous other officials and dignitaries.'",
"'We thank the hardworking men and women of the Secret Service for remaining committed to their incredibly important work,' they added.",
"A member of the Secret Service's Uniformed Division sits in his car on Pennsylvania Avenue outside the White House on January 26.",
"A small aerial drone was found on the grounds of the White House earlier that morning.",
"The drone posed no threat but the incident dredged up concerns about White House protection among lawmakers .",
"In January, Clancy gave four assistant agents pink slips, allowing them to obtain other employment in Homeland Security, the parent department of the Secret Service, within in the next month rather than firing them outright.",
"The four officers - Mark Copanzzi, Paul Morrissey, Jane Murphy, and Dale Pupillo - oversaw the agency's missions of protection, investigations, technology and public affairs.",
"Another assistant director, this one in charge of the Secret Service's training wing, Vic Erevia, opted to retire.",
"DHS is still reviewing candidates to serve as permanent director of the Secret Service.",
"Clancy, a retired agent who previously served in the president's detail and is currently on leave from a job in the private sector, is reportedly in the mix of candidates to succeed Julia Pierson, the disgraced former head of the agency who resigned last year a man wielding a knife jumped the fence outside the White House and made it inside the building.",
"According to the New York Times, other interviewees for the top post include Sean Joyce, a former deputy director of the FBI, Terrance Gainer, the former chief of the Capitol Police, and Cathy Lanier, an officer with the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.",
"While Clancy, who was hand picked by President Barack Obama to lead the agency after Pierson's departure, may appear to be the obvious choice for director, a DHS report following the security lapses last year recommended an agency outsider be brought in to make reforms.",
"Homeland Security Secretary Eric Holder said Sunday that a decision would come 'pretty soon.'",
"Just last month a man was able to crash land a drone on the 1600 Pennsylvania lawn in the middle of the night.",
"The drone's owner said it was accident, and the White House immediately confirmed that the two-foot long quadcopter posed no threat.",
"But the incident dredged up concerns about White House protection among lawmakers."

"There will also be a separate 22,000sq ft office building.",
"Wright, a successful merchant, bought the estate in 1629, before becoming the Lord Mayor of London in 1940.",
"After buying the land, he commissioned the grand, H-shaped mansion but it took nine years to complete.",

"In the diary entry written by Pepys, he described the property as 'not very modern' but with 'some things to excess'.",

"The property could be one of the capital's most impressive private homes, but will need around £10 million spent to get it into shape .",

"Pepys wrote about the screen in his diary when he visited the palace to dine with Sir Robert Vyner .",
"'The window-cases, door-cases, and chimneys of all the house are marble.. and after dinner Sir Robert led us up to his long gallery, very fine, above stairs (and better, or such, furniture I never did see).'",
"He also commented on the Harington screen, which was installed in the mansion's great hall by Sir James Harington, the husband of Sir Edmund's daughter Katherine.",
"The grand stairwell inside the Grade I listed property, which has mainly been used as offices over the past 100 years .",

"When Sir Robert died, the property was passed through his family, before being acquired by Reverend Thomas Clarke in 1750, in whose family it remained until 1923.",
"That year, the property was taken over by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, which sold it in 1955.",
"Since then, the ownership of the property has been unclear, although its current owner is thought to be a Briton living abroad.",
"It has mainly been used for offices.",
"Despite being located inside the M25 and within a 20-minute drive of central London, Swakeleys House has 25 acres of private garden.",
"The advert also describes the property as being 'Built for a Lord Mayor of London' and 'Fit for a King'.",
"English Heritage describe the home as an 'important example of artisan mannerism'.",
"Once the restoration is complete, the main property would feature a great hall, family dining, sitting and breakfast rooms, as well as a kitchen, study and music room.",
"The estate will also feature a stable block with a long gallery, family room, library and dog wash facilities.",
"There will be numerous detached, single storey buildings with guest accommodation.",
"Despite the eye-watering price-tag, it is thought there has been plenty of interest, particularly from the Middle East and Asia.",
"Henry Pryor, who helps the wealthy buy property, said: 'It is very rare but not unheard of for properties like this to come to the market.",
"'25 acres within the M25 is very unusual indeed and must contribute a great deal to the agent's guide price believed to be around £45m.",
"'The distant drone of the A40, the planes landing at Northolt would put most of my clients off but there may be an ego to whom the house appeals.'",
"Charles Godfrey, a partner at the agency GN2, which is selling Swakeleys House, described the estate as one of London's best kept secrets.",

"A woman accused of leaving her newborn baby to die in a trash can near Salt Lake City is not mentally competent to stand trial, a Utah judge ruled today.",
"Court-ordered evaluations found that Alicia Englert, 23, is mentally disabled and has an IQ too low for her to legally stand trial on a felony attempted murder charge, lawyer Josie Brumfield said.",
"Utah law says a defendant must have an IQ of 70 to face trial.",
"In a Wechsler IQ Test, an 'average classification' score is between 90 and 109.",

"Court-ordered evaluations found that Alicia Englert, 23, is mentally disabled and has an IQ too low for her to legally stand trial on a felony attempted murder charge for allegedly leaving her newborn baby to die in a trash can near Salt Lake City .",
"Judge Elizabeth Hruby-Mills said Englert will enter treatment.",
"The judge set a new hearing date for June 8 to re-assess whether she's become competent for trial .",
"Englert had a difficult childhood, Brumfield said.",
"Her mother went to prison when she was about 18 months old, and though she was able to finish high school, a single in-depth conversation shows she didn't function at typical adult level.",
"'She kind of got lost in the cracks, really didn't get any help or treatment,' Brumfield said.",
"An attorney for Englert's parents called for the charge to be dismissed.",
"'She doesn't understand the gravity of what took place, and the finding of incompetency confirms that,' Jessica Peterson said.",
"Alicia Englert has not entered a plea.",
"She appeared in court with her parents wearing a black jacket and green blouse, and did not take questions from reporters.",
"She remained free on bail after Monday's hearing, and state authorities will evaluate Englert to decide what form her treatment will take, Brumfield said.",

"Prosecutors say the infant would have died if she had not been found by a neighbor who thought she heard a cat purring in the garbage.",

"Her father, Robert Englert said at the time of the incident that his daughter had a learning disability and didn't understand the pregnancy or the implications of abandoning the baby .",
"Prosecutors will take another look at the case to decide what happens next, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said.",
"In some cases, defendants are able to face charges after treatment, but sometimes the setback for prosecutors is permanent, he said.",
"Englert's daughter was taken into custody and has recovered from the horrifying incident.",
"She is now five months old and being adopted .",
"Englert's father, Robert said at the time that his daughter had a learning disability and didn't understand the pregnancy or the implications of abandoning the baby.",

"Fox13 previously published a photo album of Englert allegedly drinking alcohol, dancing and clubbing - 'potentially within the same window of time that she was pregnant,' the station said.",
"Investigators don't believe other family members knew about the baby being in the house, Salt Lake County Attorney Sim Gill said.",
"But Robert Englert, said in September that his daughter had only just started to realize what she had done.",
"'She doesn't even realize that it's a crime and it's bad,' Englert told The Salt Lake Tribune.",

"The scientists took time lapse photographs of lollipops as they dissolved in flows of water with the images above showing how a sphere of 6 cm looked after an hour (image a).",
"They found that the turbulence created in the flow of water (images b and c) caused the back of the candy to flatten and the top to be smooth (d) This means that the average Chupa Chups lolly - which measures around 2.5cm (one inch) in diameter - would take about 2,500 licks to dissolve.",
"Researchers at the National University of Singapore have created a 'digital lollipop', which uses electric currents to transmit virtual tastes straight to your tastebuds.",
"The device has echoes of Roald Dahl's fictional Everlasting Gobstopper, which never runs out, and the Chewing Gum Meal, which had several different flavours packed into one piece of gum.",
"All of the four major taste groups - sweet, salty, bitter and sour - can be mimicked through a silver electrode which makes contact with the tongue.",
"The gadget also makes tiny adjustments in temperature to simulate tastes more convincingly.",
"Dr Leif Ristroph, a mathematician at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences who led the study, said lollipops also tend to be sculpted into similar shapes by the flow of liquid like saliva over the surface.",
"He said: 'We find that different initial geometries are sculpted into a similar terminal form before ultimately vanishing.",
"'How flowing fluids generate unique shapes through erosion or dissolution is complex and fascinating.",
"'As a whimsical application, this scaling allows us to address the following long-standing question: \"How many licks does it take to get to the centre of a lollipop?\".'",
"Dr Ristroph and his colleagues placed candy lollipops ranging from 1 cm to 10cm (0.4-4 inches) into flows of water moving between 0.22mph and 2.2mph.",
"The researchers used simple candy shapes such as spheres and cylinders, monitoring how they dissolved using time lapse photography.",
"The scientists found that lollipops all dissolve into the same regular shape no matter their original size .",
"They found that regardless of the initial shape of the candy and the speed of the water, it formed consistent shapes over time with about 1cm dissolving each hour.",
"The back of the lollipop, closest to the stick, flattens relatively quickly while the front stays dome shaped and any irregularities are smoothed away.",
"The front and back faces then slowly grow closer together as they dissolve away.",
"Experts found that regardless of the initial shape of the candy and the speed of the water, it formed consistent shapes over time with about 1cm dissolving each hour (diagram pictured) Writing in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, the scientists said that turbulence created at the back of the lollipop helps to dissolve the back and make it flat.",
"While the action of a tongue on the candy may also alter the way a candy dissolves, the scientists say that reliably measuring this as it happens will be difficult.",
"Their findings do also have some serious applications with dissolution of materials being an essential process in many chemical and pharmaceutical industries.",
"It could also help to explain some of the processes that occur during erosion of rocks by rivers and the sea."

"To celebrate his magazine cover, the title is hosting a big bash on Thursday at the Beverly Hills Hotel - yet, Legend has opted to decline the invitation.",
"His decision to boycott is in response to Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, owner of the hotel chain, and Brunei's Sharia law that allows for the stoning, amputation or flogging of those found guilty of adultery or homosexuality.",
"Taking a stand: John Legend (left) has refused to attend a party being held in his honour at the Beverly Hills Hotel in protest at the hotel owner, the Sultan of Brunei's, support of harsh anti-gay legislation (right) Despite the singer's boycott, the magazine has stayed strong in their decision to hold the party in the hotel's Pink Palace Crystal Ballroom .",
"Several of Hollywood's most prominent A-listers, such as Jay Leno, Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres, have also made their protest against the hotel known.",
"'These policies, which among other things, could permit women and LGBT Bruneians to be stoned to death, are heinous and certainly don't represent John's values,' his publicist, Amanda Silverman, said in a statement defending his choice to skip the party.",

"A Muslim family have been left fearing for their safety after discovering a number of racist notes in their letterbox.",
"Since receiving the intimidating letters on Wednesday, a Brisbane mother-of- three has admitted that she is too afraid to let her children, who are all under the age of six, play outside.",
"Illustrated with swastikas and the letters 'KKK', the mail was addressed to 'Muslim c***s*' and 'terrorist c***s' and threatened to 'kill your women and children'.",
"They were also inscribed with the words 'white power coming soon' and said 'we know where you live… this is the beginning.'",
"A Muslim family living in Brisbane found the pictured three racist notes in their mailbox on Wednesday .",
"A mother-of-three who received the notes said she was too afraid to let her young children play outside .",
"'We reported it [to police], but not sure anything will come of it...I will not let my children play outside any more... so disgusting and extremely uneducated,' the mother, who preferred to remain anonymous, wrote on the Islamophobia Register of Australia's Facebook page.",
"'My in-laws visit often [and] they all wear hijab...my husband's cousin also got the same letter she too doesn't wear hijab.",
"'Both our families have young children and that's what this letter is threatening!",
"I've taken it serious[ly] and I am scared.'",
"Her husband told Daily Mail Australia he had no idea why his family had received the letters, saying that they mostly kept to themselves.",
"'I pray regularly at home, but I don't go to any local mosques,' he said.",
"'They probably didn't see a Christmas tree over Christmas and thought \"he must be Muslim\".'",
"Her husband said he was unsure why his family had been targeted as they kept to themselves, adding that he believed the note's writer to be a local .",
"The man said believed the writer of the note was someone from his neighbourhood, adding: 'It's someone who lives in the area, a local, definitely.'",
"'We've got CCTV cameras at home and we've seen them do it [insert the letters] the night before at 7:30pm.'",
"A spokeswoman for Queensland police told Daily Mail Australia that they had received the complaint and confirmed that an active forensic examination of the notes was under way.",
"Mohammed Yusuf, the former president of the Islamic Council of Queensland, said there had been an increase in anti-Muslim sentiment following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.",
"'There is a lot of this happening.",
"I have personally received emails – not threatening, but abusive - so it's nothing new,' he said.",
"'It's a concern because you don't know what the next step could be; it could be an actual physical incident.'",
"The notes were reported to police and to the Islamophobia Register of Australia .",
"The founder of the Islamophobia Register of Australia, Mariam Veiszadeh, told Daily Mail Australia that threats like the one received by the Brisbane family were not common, but admitted that the nature of the incident was concerning.",
"Founder of the register, Mariam Veiszadeh, said incidents like this were common following acts of terror and public conversation about national security .",
"'Incidents of Islamaphobia are common following periods of increased hostility such as the Sydney siege or more particularly, following the raids in Sydney that targeted Australian Muslims,' Ms Veiszadeh said.",
"'While targeted threats like this one are not widespread at the moment, given the nature of the threats - targeting their children and given that it was left in their letterbox, suggesting that someone was observing them – it is quite worrying.",
"'Having spoken to the mother who received the letter, she was incredibly frightened that evening and she was struggling, so it is something that impacts families and communities.'",
"The register was launched in 2014 following the police raids and anecdotal evidence of Islamophobia began to surface.",
"'There wasn't any comprehensive reporting on what was happening and we wanted to capture it in a meaningful way, provide a forum to discuss anti-Muslim sentiment and provide support for the victims and speak on their behalf to police to ensure they were being taken seriously,' Ms Veiszadeh said.",
"'We are also interestingly getting reports from non-Muslim Australians who are witnessing incidents.",
"It's encouraging and shows that slowly there can be a shift in attitudes.'",
"Ms Veiszadeh (pictured speaking to media about the federal government's proposed counter-terrorism laws) said she spoke to the mother who received the notes and described her as being frightened and distressed ."

"When little Myla Lawrie was brought home from hospital four months ago, a veritable sea of pink greeted her, with clouds of balloons filling the sitting room, along with cards, bunting and ribbons in every shade of girliness.",
"For this was a very special event in the Lawrie family.",
"When Myla was born in October, she was the first girl to be born in her family since 1809.",
"The last time a midwife announced ‘It’s a girl’, the Napoleonic war was still being fought, the motorcar was yet to be invented, and ‘mad’ King George III was on the English throne.",
"Oh boy, we've done it!",
"Hannah and Mark with baby Myla and brothers Ben, nine, Zac, seven and Mason, three .",
"No wonder her proud parents — Hannah, a 26-year-old midwife, and Mark, a 33-year-old professional golfer turned coach, from Maidstone in Kent — wanted to celebrate.",
"‘When Mark and I first got together, he told me how everyone in his family, for five generations, had produced boys,’ explains Hannah.",
"‘He warned me that the chances of us ever having a daughter were pretty remote.’ True to form, when Hannah became pregnant in 2012, no one was surprised when Mason, who’s now three, was born.",
"Looking back over the family tree, Hannah could see why everyone was so convinced.",
"The last girl to be born in the Lawrie family was Mason’s great-great-great Aunt Bessie, born more than 200 years ago in the same year as Charles Darwin.",
"Bessie and her brother had had sons, and so the pattern had continued, all the way down to Mark and his brother Glenn.",
"Mark has two other boys, ten-year-old Ben and seven-year-old Zac, from a previous relationship, while Glenn had one son, Reece, who’s 14.",
"‘I even questioned whether there could be a genetic condition that meant Mark produced only male sperm,’ says Hannah.",
"Warm welcome: Myla, pictured with her motehr Hannah, is the first girl to be born in her family since 1809 .",
"‘I asked numerous doctors and consultants in the hospital where I work if this was the case, but was told time and again that it wasn’t.",
"Every time a baby is conceived, the chances of it being a girl are 50/50, they told me — but in Mark’s family, for some reason, it never was.’ While it has been long suspected that men who come from families with plenty of males have higher odds of fathering boys, and that for men with many sisters, it is vice versa, there has never been any stong scientific explanation as to why.",
"In a study published in the journal Evolutionary Biology, the researcher, Corry Gellatly, examined the histories of more than 900 American and European families, dating back to 1600, involving more than half a million people.",
"A child’s sex is always determined by the father.",
"While women produce eggs that carry an X chromosome, male sperm cast the deciding chromosome — either an X or a Y. Mr Gellatly found evidence that men carry a gene that determines the percentage of X and Y chromosomes in their sperm.",
"One version of this gene produces mostly X chromosomes, another mostly Y, and a third yields equal numbers of both.",
"But even carrying a gene that predisposes men to more sons or daughters is no guarantee of the sex of a baby — in the same way that rolling a rigged die with a six on four of its faces is no guarantee of landing a six.",
"Desperate to improve their chances of having a girl, Hannah came across the Shettles Method, developed by an American doctor in the Sixties, which claims the timing of conception can help determine the baby’s sex.",
"This is based on evidence that male sperm (Y chromosome) are faster, weaker and have a shorter lifespan than female sperm (X chromosome), which are slower but survive for longer.",
"This means that having sex before ovulation, rather than during, should increase the likelihood of conceiving a girl, as only the female sperm will survive long enough to penetrate the egg.",
"Hannah used ovulation kits to work out when she was ovulating.",
"Love-making was allowed only early on in Hannah’s cycle.",
"As soon as the kit showed she was approaching ovulation, intercourse was banned for the rest of the month.",
"Hannah admits it was far from romantic, but says she wanted to give it their best shot.",
"Surrounded by boys!",
"Myla, who was born in October, pictured with her brothers Ben, Zac and Mason .",
"Hannah fell pregnant straight away but was convinced the technique hadn’t worked and that she was expecting another boy.",
"The couple even sorted out all Mason’s clothes into age order ready for when the new baby was born.",
"‘I spent £65 on a gorgeous cot mobile with blue and green cars and lorries, and we’d bought a blue buggy and a blue car seat.’ As a midwife, Hannah has delivered more than 200 babies and admitted to feeling pangs of envy every time it was a girl.",
"She says: ‘I adore the boys, but I’d write up my notes, while listening to the new mum bonding with her daughter, and be filled with longing, wishing it could be me one day — yet truly believing it never would be.’ Hannah has always been extremely close to her own mum, Tracey Hayden, and craved the same kind of relationship with a daughter of her own one day.",
"Then, at the 20-week scan, they received the astonishing news that they were expecting a girl.",
"‘I was in a state of disbelief,’ says Hannah.",
"‘I kept asking the sonographer if she was sure.",
"‘Mark was so emotional he was in tears, crying that it was a gift from his Dad — who, sadly, passed away just before I fell pregnant.",
"He’d told us he’d love a granddaughter.’ Despite the sonographer’s assurances, Hannah spent the rest of the pregnancy struggling to accept that her desire for a daughter really was about to come true.",
"‘I must have had about 16 scans,’ she says.",
"‘Whenever I’d finish a night shift, I’d beg one of the doctors to give me another one, just to make sure,’ she says.",
"But it was only when her baby was finally placed on her chest following an emergency Caesarean at 39 weeks, that she truly believed it.",
"‘The first thing I asked was: “Is it definitely a girl?”’ And while it’s often hard to tell the sex of young babies once they’re dressed, there has never been any mistaking Myla’s gender.",
"The little girl has, Hannah admits, a wardrobe to rival a Disney princess, with dozens of flowery dresses, patterened tights, butterfly hairclips, frilly tutus and pink fluffy slippers.",
"Myla never leaves the house without wearing a headband — pink, of course — and Hannah has traded in Mason’s blue buggy and car seat for pink ones.",
"The nursery glistens with every shade of pink, from the marshmallow rug to the candyfloss chest of drawers and changing table.",
"A powder-pink gingham bumper surrounds the cot, teamed with a pink blanket with embroidered hearts.",
"The cars and lorries mobile has been replaced by one with pink elephants and giraffes.",
"There’s even a canvas, surrounded by fairy lights, with Myla’s name which lights up in pink — a gift from Hannah’s sister, 23-year-old Ellie.",
"She's a genius! When Mark, 33, met Hannah, 26, he told her their chances of having a daughter were 'remote' as his family had produced boys for five generations .",
"Of course, there is still an abundance of cars, tractors, Thomas the Tank Engines, Lightning McQueen and golf equipment around the house.",
"Hannah loves her boys as much as she loves her daughter, but she can’t resist the urge to splash out on pretty things, and has sold bundles of Mason’s outgrown clothes on eBay to fund her newfound love of all things pink.",
"She says: ‘I know it’s over-the-top, but I can’t resist.’ Mark is equally besotted.",
"‘He thinks I’m a genius for producing a daughter,’ says Hannah.",
"With three big brothers to look after her, Myla is never going to be short of protectors.",
"Hannah says they are all very protective, but especially Mason, who tells people who pick up his precious sister to put her back immediately.",
"Hannah’s biggest worry now is that her daughter will turn out to be a tomboy.",
"Mark teases her, saying she’s bound to end up a professional golfer, but Hannah already has plans to sign her up to ballet classes on her second birthday.",
"‘I really enjoyed dancing when I was a child, and I’d love for Myla to do the same,’ she says.",
"Hannah is also looking forward to the days when Mark and the boys go off to play 18 holes, and she is able to enjoy shopping trips with her daughter.",
"One thing she’s certain of, though, is that her family is complete.",
"‘If I’d had another boy, I might have had another shot at a girl.",
"But now that I’ve got one of each, I’ve got everything I’ve ever wanted.’ Hannah will never know if her ovulation kits did the trick.",
"But whether by luck, or science, the 200-year Lawrie family boy spell has finally been broken."

"Myla Lawrie was the first girl to be born in her family since 1809 .",
"No wonder her proud parents from Maidstone in Kent, wanted to celebrate .",
"When Hannah, 26, met Mark, he told her his family had only produced boys for five generations .",
"But she became pregnant with a girl after only allowing love-making before ovulation, rather than during, to increase the chances of a girl ."

"Smiling for the camera in relief, these are the hikers who were rescued in a 10 hour operation after becoming stranded 9,000 feet up a Californian mountain.",

"The rescued students from the UCLA hiking club stop and pose for a selfie with their rescuers after being lowered to safety when they became stranded on a mountain .",

"The students were then lowered to safety down the icy slopes with harnesses and ropes to prevent them from falling.",
"Luckily, none of the group needed to have medical treatment but they were so elated to see their rescuers, they all stopped and posed for a selfie.",

"The students were then lowered to safety down the icy slopes of the San Gabriel mountains, pictured, with harnesses and ropes to prevent them from falling .",
"The treacherous conditions which caused the hikers to become lost were caused by the same storm system which wreaked havoc on northern California in recent days.",
"The storm dropped 10 to 15 inches of snow at higher elevations of the Northern Sierra, according to the National Weather Service.",
"Meanwhile a fresh storm yesterday is thought to have brought as much as another 14 inches of snow.",
"Snow is more important than rain because snowpack supplies about a third of the water needed by residents, agriculture and industry.",

"Authorities say the wildfire began on Friday near a highway that runs east of the Sierra Nevada before winds caused the blaze to spread."

"A teenage drug dealer was caught by police after ordering 500 Ecstasy tablets online under his own name before having them delivered to the home he shares with his parents.",
"Harry Doherty, 19, bought the haul of tablets online from a supplier in the Netherlands with the intention of selling them around clubs in Manchester.",
"But he was rumbled when he requested for the package to be addressed to himself at his real address.",
"Drug dealer Harry Doherty, 19 (left and right) requested for 500 Ecstasy tablets to be delivered under his real name to the home he shares with parents in Levenshulme, Manchester .",
"When police later raided Doherty's bedroom and asked if he had any drugs in his possession, he even told them that he had ordered drugs online, but it had not yet arrived.",
"Doherty, now 20, was jailed for two-and-a-half years at Manchester Crown Court after admitting importing Class A drugs, possession with intent to supply and possession of cannabis.",
"The court heard how Doherty's crime had been one of 'crass stupidity' but that drug dealing was a 'serious business'.",
"Sentencing, Recorder Robert Crawford said: 'This is crass stupidity but a serious business and you understand that.",
"The court heard Doherty (pictured) had committed an act of 'crass stupidity' 'I think this is a tragedy.",
"A 20-year-old lad like you who has never been in trouble before, now facing serious charges.",
"You have been stupid and naïve.' The court heard how the parcel had been quickly intercepted by customs officials at Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre in Berkshire.",
"They had opened the container after being suspicious of the package's contents.",
"When they checked the destination, they found it was addressed to Doherty's parents' home in Levenshulme, Manchester.",
"Officers later asked Doherty if there were any drugs in the house, to which he replied: 'Yes, I ordered a parcel off the internet but it hasn't arrived.'",
"But they went on to find almost 4g of MDMA concealed in a Kinder Egg, as well as 12 further packages of the drug at 90 per cent purity, with a street value of £932.",
"They also retrieved £1,140 in cash, scales and a small amount of cannabis.",
"The court heard Doherty, who works as a chef at a café, thought of himself as being part of the Manchester rave scene.",
"He took Ecstasy himself but had started drug dealing purely to make money, the court was told.",
"Prosecuting, Simone Flynn said: 'On June 21 2013 Her Majesty's Customs officials intercepted a package at Heathrow Distribution Centre in Berkshire and when they opened it they found a container with 500 tablets.",
"'The package was addressed to this defendant, Harry Doherty, at his home address in Levenshulme.",
"GMP were contacted and informed and following communication a drugs warrant was executed at the home address.",
"The young chef even told police who raided his home (pictured) that he had ordered a pile of drugs from the internet but that they had not yet arrived .",
"'Officers attended on July 9, when they arrested the defendant and asked whether drugs were in the house his response was \"yeah, I ordered a parcel off the internet but it hasn't arrived\".",
"'That's because the police had intercepted it.'",
"She added: 'On interrogation of one phone there were numerous incriminating drug dealing messages.",
"The defendant played a significant role and was clearly motivated financially by way of the texts.'",
"In mitigation, defence counsel Anthony O'Donnell said: 'He was involved in that scene, the rave scene, and was taking ecstasy himself.",
"'As regards to being sophisticated, you only have to look at the fact his name and address were on the envelope.",
"The word \"naivety\" springs to mind.'",
"At Manchester Crown Court (pictured), the defendant was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in a young offenders' institution after admitting importing Class A drugs and possession with intent to supply .",
"He added: 'In chatting with him it is simply unbelievable that he is here.",
"He is a very intelligent young man who has worked since he was 14.",
"He has never brought any trouble to his parents' door.'",
"Doherty, dressed smartly in a shirt and blazer, puffed out his cheeks as the judge Mr Crawford said he had no option but to send him to a young offenders' institution.",
"He said: 'There are many things that can be said constructively in your favour and I will give you a great deal of credit.",
"This sentence is as short as it possibly can be in light of my public duty.",
"I have been extremely lenient.",
"'My hands are tied in a case like this.",
"You can't import ecstasy on this scale and not be dealt with by a custodial sentence.'"

"Three other bidders for Lot 94 - 'A Cigar Box of Early Chinese Stamps' – knew the uncut stamps were valuable, and bidding rose rapidly in thousands, to the amazement of locals at the auction, where most items fetch under £100.",
"Mr Grant, owner of philatelic firm Rushstamps, which is based in Lyndhurst in Hampshire's New Forest National Park, now plans to sell the rare stamps in Hong Kong and believes they will fetch at least £250,000.",
"The lot is particularly valuable because within the collection is an uncut sheet of nineteen ultra-rare 'candarin' stamps, which had been kept by the English missionary for 'day to day postage use'.",
"The rather insignificant-looking unused yellow stamps, printed on very thin paper, were bought in Shanghai in 1882 and feature a dragon design.",

"A rare autographed photo of Shoeless Joe Jackson - the Holy Grail of baseball signatures - could fetch more than $100,000 at an upcoming auction.",
"Jackson, who was tossed out of baseball for throwing the 1919 World Series and remembered in the movie Field of Dreams, was illiterate and rarely signed anything but paychecks and legal documents, making his autographs among the rarest in sports.",
"How many Jackson signatures are in existence isn't clear, but most experts agree that it's probably fewer than 100.",
"Jackson, who was illiterate, rarely signed anything but paychecks and legal documents .",
"Photo holder Sharon Bowen thought her late husband was a bit crazy for buying a scrapbook filled photos of Cleveland baseball players from the 1900s, including Jackson (left), Christy Mathewson (center), and Nap Lajoie (right).",
"After her husband died in April, she decided it was time for someone else to enjoy the pictures .",
"Photo holder Sharon Bowen, of Cleveland, Ohio, thought her late husband was a bit crazy for buying a scrapbook filled with black and white photos of Cleveland ballplayers from the early 1900s — but not anymore.",
"It turns out that book holds what may be the only autographed photo of the famed outfielder.",
"This is the first signed photo authenticated by autograph experts, according to Dallas-based Heritage Auctions, which is handling the sale of the century-old photograph this month.",
"‘If I were a betting man, I'd say the chances of another one surfacing would be highly unlikely,’ said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator, which validated the signature and photo.",
"Jackson, an outfielder for Cleveland, was tossed out of baseball for throwing the 1919 World Series and remembered in the movie Field of Dreams.",
"His autograph is one of the rarest in baseball .",
"Bowen's husband, Bill, first saw the scrapbook about ten years ago.",
"It was stored in a barn near Cleveland and belonged to a couple whose family was friends with Frank W. Smith, a photographer with The Plain Dealer newspaper.",
"He shot the photo of Jackson along with those of Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson and Napoleon Lajoie during spring training in 1911.",
"The family offered to sell the scrapbook five years ago to Bowen's husband because they knew how much he treasured the 60 photos.",
"The price tag: $15,000.",
"‘I told him “absolutely not,\"’ Bowen said.",
"‘Luckily for me, I lost that argument.’ Her husband kept the book in a trunk, looking at it almost every day and showing it off to friends.",
"As a collector all his life, he appreciated its history and connection to his hometown.",
"But not knowing the book's sky-high value, they never locked it up or worried about keeping it out of sight.",
"‘It wasn't an investment,’ Bowen said.",
"Her husband died at age 67 last April, and the family decided someone else should enjoy the photos.",
"The signed photos of Jackson and other members of the Cleveland Naps, the team that later became the Indians, will be sold in New York City on February 21.",
"The photo of Jackson — taken the year he became the only rookie to hit over .400 — had an online bid of $42,000 as of last week.",
"A baseball bearing Jackson's shaky signature brought $78,000 in 2011.",
"Even a scrap of paper with his autograph sold for $23,100 nearly 25 years ago.",
"The experts at Heritage Auctions were skeptical when the Bowen family contacted them.",
"‘We get calls and emails on a daily basis about stuff that turns out to be reproductions or they're not authentic,’ said Chris Ivy, the company's director of sports auctions.",
"That changed quickly once they saw the images.",
"They sent the photos to Professional Sports Authenticator whose sports memorabilia experts looked at them from all angles.",
"The 1911 photo of Jackson, being held by Chris Ivy, director of sports auctions at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, was taken the year he became the only rookie to hit over .400 .",
"Bowen said her husband Bill originally bought the scrapbook for $15,000, but she recently discovered the 60 photographs could be worth thousands more .",
"‘Our job is to be the skeptic, especially if it is too good to be true,’ said Orlando.",
"They first set out to determine that the photographs were originals and from the early 1900s, and they looked at the story behind the scrapbook and its origins.",
"And they verified the autographs — not an easy task when it comes to Jackson's childlike signature.",
"It's known that Jackson more or less signed his name by mimicking a pattern that his wife had made.",
"She often signed his name, too.",
"The experts at PSA looked at the pen pressure and the spacing of the Jackson signature while comparing it to other examples.",
"‘The stars aligned,’ Orlando said.",
"Mike Nola, official historian for the Shoeless Joe Jackson Society and a board member of the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum in Greenville, South Carolina, said he can't remember seeing another signed photo of Jackson.",
"There are more than four dozen legitimate Jackson signatures that he knows of, including several bats and at least a dozen baseballs, he said.",
"‘That's still pretty rare, especially by today's standards when guys are signing everything,’ Nola said."

"David Osborne said consent must be considered in rape cases even if given when 'blind drunk' A senior barrister has caused outrage after saying that men should be cleared of rape if a female victim claimed to be too drunk to consent to sex.",
"In a blog entitled She Was Gagging For It, David Osborne, 71, condemned new Crown Prosecution Service guidelines which put the onus on men to seek explicit consent from drunken partners.",
"The married father-of-four made a point of referring to women in rape cases as ‘complainants’ rather than victims, and said the guidelines could result in ‘everything possible in the trial process’ being ‘bent towards the conviction of the accused’.",
"Mr Osborne wrote: ‘Consent is consent, blind drunk or otherwise, and regret after the event cannot make it rape.",
"I have a simple solution.",
"‘If the complainant (I do not refer to her as the victim) was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, when she was “raped”, this provides the accused with a complete defence.",
"End of story and a victory for fairness, moderation and common sense!’ ‘My considerable experience tells me that there are basically two defences to an allegation of rape: either “it wasn’t me gov”, or “she was gagging for it”.’ The blog has prompted a furious response from victims’ organisations and rape victims.",
"His remarks were also condemned as ‘simply wrong’ by the leading barrister in the area where Mr Osborne operates.",
"In media interviews over the weekend Mr Osborne said rape statistics would fall if women who ‘trollop around with their t*ts out’ stopped getting ‘legless’ and ‘covered up’.",
"He claimed women who dress provocatively ‘send out certain signals’ and give ‘lads the opportunity to think, “She looks like a goer”.’ Mr Osborne made the controversial comments in a blog post titled 'She was gagging for it' on his website .",
"Yesterday Mr Osborne told the Daily Mail he believed the ‘Government and prosecution service are going too far the other way’.",
"Speaking at the large bungalow he shares with wife Sally, 63, in Combe Florey, Somerset, he added: ‘It does happen where the girl says she’s up for it – she wants a quickie – and then it is unpleasant and torrid and terrible.",
"‘There are no violins playing, it’s round the back of the community centre.",
"The next morning she wakes up and feels ashamed.",
"It’s very easy for her to convince herself that she did not actually consent.’ Last month, the CPS announced that new guidance on rape cases and the issue of consent would be issued to police forces.",
"Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said: ‘Consent to sexual activity is not a grey area – in law it is clearly defined and must be given fully and freely.",
"‘We want police and prosecutors to make sure they ask in every case where consent is the issue – how did the suspect know the complainant was saying yes and doing so freely and knowingly?’ But Mr Osborne – nicknamed the Barrister Bard after once delivering his final speech to a trial jury entirely in verse – said: ‘My experience says that the jury gives the evidence the attention it requires and if they are sure then they convict.",
"We don’t need to manipulate the system for rape witnesses.’ Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said sexual consent was not a 'grey area' Mr Osborne worked as a criminal defence barrister for almost 40 years and was last involved in a rape trial three years ago.",
"He is a member of the Western Circuit of barristers and now concentrates on civil law.",
"His blog has been roundly condemned.",
"Sarah Green, director of End Violence Against Women Coalition, said: ‘I find it hard to believe this is not a sick joke.",
"He is suggesting the opposite of the law.’ Louise Pennington, of campaign group Ending Victimisation, said: ‘He is saying that men are incapable of controlling their own urges when they see a woman in a short skirt.’ Andrew Langdon QC, leader of the Western Circuit, said: ‘I have spoken to David Osborne and told him that I consider his blog to be offensive.",
"‘Most of what he says is simply wrong.",
"The views he articulates are not remotely representative of barristers who prosecute and defend these cases in practice.’ One victim, a 45-year-old female jogger who was abducted and repeatedly raped at knife-point by a career criminal out on licence from prison, said: ‘Rape is rape, when a woman or a man does not give consent for sex to occur despite the fact that drugs or alcohol have been consumed.",
"‘If a man or woman takes advantage of the opposite sex in this reduced state of awareness, it is a predatory action.’ Mr Osborne’s blog is written under the masthead ‘witty, incisive comment on the law today’.",
"Last night he planned to republish an edited version of the controversial blog entry – after being warned by the Circuit that the original piece may be considered to bring the profession into disrepute if it remained online.",
"A Bar Standards Board spokesman declined to comment."

"While it’s been recommended for years as a natural sleep aid (grate a touch into a cup of warm milk if you’re looking for a natural sedative), nutmeg is also thought to help keep the brain sharp and guard against denegerative conditions such as dementia, thanks to an active compound contained within it called myristicin.",
"Nutmeg is a good source of hard-to-get trace minerals such as copper, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, zinc and magnesium.",
