"A furious mother has slammed the NHS after her 'fit and active' 11-year-old son was sent home from school with a letter branding him overweight.",
"Coralyn Hobbs, 35, was stunned when her son William Barnes-Hobbs arrived home from Ely St Mary's Junior School in Cambridgeshire with a letter advising he needed to make 'lifestyle changes' to get to a normal weight.",
"It came after William and his his classmates were measured at their school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP).",
"Furious Coralyn Hobbs (left) has slammed the NHS after her 'fit and active' 11-year-old son William (right) was sent home from school with a letter branding him overweight .",
"Ms Hobbs said her son was an 'extremely fit and active boy', and said categorising children as overweight or obese is 'disgraceful' Health staff recorded the weight and height of each pupil before the sending the findings to parents to tell them what category they fall in to.",
"Ms Hobbs was then informed that William, who is 4ft 9in tall and weighed six-and-a-half stone, was in the overweight category, according to NHS scales.",
"She describes the results as 'disgraceful' and would cause some children to develop an eating disorder.",
"'I feel hurt for him and all the other children who are labelled overweight or obese,' said the mother-of-two.",
"William and his his classmates were measured at their school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) 'The sad thing is that these days, unless you're stick thin, you're automatically classed as overweight.",
"'It's not fair and certainly not good to be encouraging children to think like that when all you hear is that eating disorders are on the rise.",
"'I think it's disgraceful that children are being categorised in this way.",
"William isn't overweight.",
"I'd say he's perfectly proportioned actually.",
"'Yet just because of his height and weight he's labelled overweight.",
"It's wrong.' The NCMP measures children in Reception class and Year 6 and takes into consideration their age, height and sex.",
"Children are then given a letter to take home, telling their parents or carers what category they fall into, and what lifestyle changes they could make, should they wish to.",
"If William weighed just 3lbs less or was one inch taller than he would have been classified as 'healthy' but Ms Hobbs says he already fits into this category.",
"'He eats healthily, including his five fruit and veg a day,' said Ms Hobbs, who also lives with her partner Ian Barnes and their daughter Kayleigh-Jane.",
"'He also eats a lot of homegrown things, including home-reared meats.",
"'He's an extremely fit and active boy.",
"He plays a lot of sport, bikes everyday, goes fishing everyday and is generally always outdoors.'",
"Mandy Mayes, lead nurse for the NCMP in Cambridgeshire, said she recognised the programme can be a 'sensitive topic'.",
"She said: 'We would like to reassure parents that, along with trusts across the country, the NCMP team uses a nationally accredited NHS measure to establish a child's weight status, taking into consideration their age, height and sex.",
"'This information is then shared with parents or carers who are offered further support to make any lifestyle changes they may wish, which is entirely voluntary.",
"'We do recognise this can be a sensitive topic and would encourage parents to contact us if they wish to discuss any aspect of their child's health.'",
"A spokesman for Ely St Mary's Junior School said the programme was part of a national scheme.",
"She said: 'This is a national screening programme which all schools are involved in.'",
"Children in William's class at Ely St Mary's Junior School in Cambridgeshire (pictured) were weighed and had their height measured .",
"Tam Fry, spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, said the NCMP was designed to be used for statistical use, and should not be used to inform children that they are overweight.",
"'It's not a precise measurement,' he told MailOnline.",
"The Body Mass Index is used to measure their amount of body fat a person is carrying.",
"Medics use a modified BMI scale with children that takes account of their age and sex.",
"One in three children in Britain is classed as 'overweight' according to official government figures.",
"Children are classed as either underweight, healthy weight, overweight or very overweight.",
"According the National Childhood Measurement Programme: 'It can be difficult to tell if your child is overweight as they may look similar to other children of their age.",
"That’s why we use the measurement of weight against height to get an accurate measure.",
"'Research shows that if your child is overweight now, they are more likely to grow up to be overweight as an adult.",
"This can lead to health problems in later life, so this measurement is an important way of checking how your child is growing.'",
"'There are many children who have their parents informed by letter that they are overweight and the parents are furious because the child is of build that is not overweight for their stature.",
"'The letters sent out are a combination of a mail merge between computer data, and there needs to be the intervention of a school nurse - who as a human being is far better equipped to decide if a child is overweight.",
"'When the parent has the letter they can decide how valid it is and if it is valid the parent needs to be careful how he or she transmits the information to the child.",
"'It is quite possible that the child could be given the wrong message.",
"'Children of 11 should never go on diets, they need all the nutrition they can get and being told they are overweight could have tragic consequences.",
"'I hope parents will provide their children with sensible advice and make sure the child does not dwell on the letter, but gets all the good things like the right food and exercise.",
"'I would think in this case the parent would be furious and this is the danger of the child measurement programme - it was never designed to be a clinical programme, but was intended as a statistical tool.'"

"One of the men suspected of murdering poisoned spy Alexander Litvinenko wanted to be a 'porno star' and had no links to the gas and oil industry as he claimed, an inquiry has heard.",
"Dmitri Kovtun struggled with a drink problem and worked as a waiter and pot washer in restaurants in Germany before he reunited with his childhood friend, former KGB officer Andrei Lugovoi, in Russia in June 2006, his former wives said in police interviews read to the Royal Courts of Justice.",
"Both men are prime suspects in the murder of Mr Litvinenko, 43, who died nearly three weeks after he consumed tea laced with polonium-210 on November 1, 2006 at the Millennium Hotel in London's Grosvenor Square.",
"They deny any involvement and remain in Russia.",
"Alexander Litvinenko, pictured, was an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin before his death .",
"Dmitri Kovtun, left, and Andrei Logovoi, right, would both be arrested for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko if they were to return to the UK to testimony at the inquiry into the former spy's death in London .",
"Detective Inspector Craig Mascall from the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit told the inquiry into Mr Litvinenko's death that British officers travelled to Moscow to interview Mr Lugovoi and Mr Kovtun in December 2006.",
"During the interview, Mr Kovtun listed his jobs as director general of gas and oil provider Global Project and as an employee of Continental Petroleum Limited, the inquiry heard.",
"But in an extract of a police interview given by his ex-wife Inne Hohne, which was read to the court, she said: 'Dmitri wanted to be a porno star.",
"He never said anything about any brokerage deals or sales.",
"I have now read his interview in (German newspaper) Spiegel and have read that there was trade with gas and with oil.",
"I can only say that this has absolutely nothing to do with Dmitri.'",
"Mr Kovtun's second wife Marina Wall also told police her ex-husband had worked as a waiter and pot washer in restaurants in Germany before he began working with Mr Lugovoi in Russia.",
"Addressing Mr Mascall, Andrew O'Connor, counsel to the inquiry, said: 'So there is a clutch of documents apparently asserting that Mr Kovtun is running a company, is involved in oil projects.",
"On the face of it, not entirely consistent with his earlier life.'",
"Mr Mascall replied: 'There is evidence from other witnesses who say Mr Kovtun was a bit of a dreamer and he suggested he was going to do all sorts of projects when he left Germany, but I would be speculating.",
"He would appear to have done very well for himself.'",
"The inquiry heard that Mr Kovtun, left, and Mr Lugovoi, right, have known each other since childhood although they both deny any involvement in Mr Litvinenko's murder who died after drinking radioactive tea .",
"Mr Kovtun and Mr Lugovoi had known each since childhood and attended the same military academy in Russia, the court heard.",
"Mr Kovtun was stationed in Germany with the Russian army but fled to Hamburg and sought political asylum after getting married, the inquiry was told.",
"He later split from his first wife because she said he had a 'drink problem,' Mr Mascall said.",
"The inquiry heard that Mr Lugovoi, now a Russian politician, was in hospital for exposure to radioactive material when Scotland Yard officers questioned him in Moscow.",
"In a newspaper interview two years after Mr Litvinenko's death, Mr Lugovoi said he believed the murdered spy was a 'traitor' and that anyone who caused damage to Russia should be 'exterminated', the inquiry into his death has heard.",
"In an extract of the interview shown to the inquiry, Mr Lugovoi was asked whether he agreed with Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) that Mr Litvinenko - who worked for the British intelligence services after moving to the UK - was a 'traitor'.",
"He replied: 'I think so as well.",
"That doesn't mean that a traitor has to be immediately killed.'",
"He added: 'If someone has caused the Russian state serious damage, they should be exterminated.",
"This is my firm belief and the belief of any normal Russian.'",
"The inquiry heard Mr Lugovoi told embassy staff his salary was 285,000 roubles when he applied for a travel visa to visit the UK in 2006, while Mr Kovtun said he earned 65,000 roubles a month.",
"Mr O'Connor asked Mr Mascall: 'Those two men are currently wanted for the offence of murder?",
"The murder of Mr Litvinenko?'",
"He replied: 'That's correct.'",
"Mr O'Connor asked what action would be taken should either men return to the UK.",
"Mr Mascall replied: 'They would be arrested for the offence of murder.'",
"Mr Lugovoi, pictured, told one newspaper that Mr Litvinenko should be 'exterminated' as he was a 'traitor' Mr Lugovoi, a father-of-four, previously worked at the KGB as a security officer for former Russian prime minister Yegor Gaidar before becoming head of security at Russian broadcaster ORT, and later setting up his own private security company called Ninth Wave.",
"He first met Mr Litvinenko in 1995 when the murder victim was protecting Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky following a failed assassination attempt, the court heard.",
"Mr Lugovoi, who was jailed for 14 months for organising the escape of a prisoner in 2001, met Mr Litvinenko again when he travelled to London to watch CSKA Moscow play Chelsea in 2004 and on a number of further occasions in 2006, including at Mr Litvinenko's house.",

"Britons are the most likely people in Europe to brand themselves overweight, according to the global health and wellness survey from analysts Nielsen.",
"Overweight: Six in 10 Britons consider themselves to be overweight, according to a new survey.",
"And among those who do regard themselves as too heavy, 22 per cent believe they are 'somewhat' or 'very' overweight, while 38 per cent say a 'little'.",
"The survey of more than 30,000 adults in 60 countries found most people in Europe, or 52 per cent, see themselves as overweight, however those in Poland and Russia are the least likely to do so.",
"Less than half – or 46 per cent – of Britons are trying to lose weight compared with 51 per cent three years ago, the poll found.",
"Among those, changing diet is the most popular method, followed by exercise.",
"The percentage who are opting for a 'quick fix' via diet pills, bars or shakes has more than doubled.",
"Taking medicine prescribed by a doctor has doubled.",
"The most popular diet change involve eating less chocolate and sugar, followed by cutting back on fats and eating more natural, fresh foods.",
"Four in ten simply eat smaller portions of the same food.",
"The study, which polled more than 30,000 respondents in 60 countries, shows that most people in Europe (52%) consider themselves overweight, while Polish (35%) and Russian (40%) people are the least likely to regard themselves overweight.",
"Exercise: But Britons are now more likely to look for a quick fix solution to their weight problems, and less likely to exercise to keep fit .",
"Mike Watkins, Nielsen's UK head of business and retailer insight, said: 'Not only are fewer Britons trying to lose weight, it seems they're slowly becoming increasingly reliant on easier fixes at the expense of harder work such as changing diet and exercise.'",
"Around one-in-10 follow a low carbohydrate/high fat diet or another diet, while eight per cent use a slimming plan.",
"Britons are twice as likely to use a slimming plan and 28% more likely to cut down on processed foods, but 40% less likely to follow a low carb/high fat diet to lose weight.",
"Mr Watkins said: 'Britons regard sugar, salt, artificial additives, cholesterol and fat as the biggest health-related evils impacting which products they buy.",
"'Conversely, natural flavours, being made from fruit or veg, whole grain, fibre and protein are the most important ingredients to encourage purchasing.",
"'Britons, however, are much less likely than Europeans - and people globally, as a whole - to let health attributes of food products affect what they buy.'",
"Among the 27 food health attributes covered in the survey, Britons are most willing to pay a premium price for products that are 'all natural', 'gluten-free' or organic.",

"Schools in deprived areas are denying pupils access to tougher GCSE subjects in a bid to improve their league table ranking, research suggests.",
"Particular concerns have been raised over access to triple science GCSE, with up to half the schools in some areas refusing to offer it, according to data published today.",
"Researchers said it was clear school leaders were trying to minimise poor exam results by ushering pupils towards easier subjects.",
"Some GCSE students are being steered away from more difficult subjects by schools keen to boost their rankings, according to a report by the Open Public Services Network (OPSN) at the RSA think-tank .",
"The alarming findings come after the Government launched a crackdown on schools trying to ‘play’ the system by refusing to include poor-quality qualifications in league tables.",
"The research, carried out by Open Public Services Network (OPSN) at the RSA think-tank, showed access to tough subjects varied according to postcode.",
"Roger Taylor, chairman of the OPSN, said: ‘This would be of little concern if these differences reflected the needs and choices of pupils and families.",
"‘Our worry is that instead they reflect decisions made by schools and are based on calculations as to how schools can appear better on league tables by encouraging children to avoid taking on more challenging subjects.’ He added that the evidence suggests in areas where most children are expected to do less well in exams, ‘the educational opportunities for all children are being restricted’.",
"The figures show in North East Lincolnshire, 50 per cent of the ten secondary schools did not offer triple science GCSE.",
"More than a third of schools do not enter any pupils for triple science in Knowsley, Slough, Kingston upon Hull and Newcastle.",
"In contrast, in Sussex and Cumbria – local authorities with more than 30 schools – every school offers GCSEs in three sciences.",
"The disparity is so huge that children in Knowsley, Merseyside, are half as likely to be enrolled for triple science GCSE as children in Buckinghamshire.",
"Children in Kensington are four times more likely to be enrolled for a language GCSE than children in Middlesbrough where, on average, only one child in every four takes a language GCSE.",
"RSA Director of Public Services, Charlotte Alldritt, said: ‘Breadth of subject availability is being denied to our young people and curtailing their life chances’ In a report to be published next week, the RSA will warn of ‘subject deserts’ within certain local authorities, with pupils not given the option of finding a school which offers the subjects they want to study.",
"The report will argue that local authorities are unlikely to be able to tackle the problem with a growing number of schools converting to academy status – and thus enjoying greater autonomy.",
"It will also lay out concerns about the Department of Education’s ‘accountability regime’, in which schools are rated on the number of points they achieve in exams.",
"The report will argue the system can incentivise schools to offer more limited opportunities to children in an effort to maximise the school’s rating.",
"RSA Director of Public Services, Charlotte Alldritt, said: ‘Breadth of subject availability is being denied to our young people and curtailing their life chances.’ Last month, league tables showed twice as many state secondary schools are now considered to be underperforming compared with last year.",
"The increase was because of new rules that banned schools from including results from re-sits and poor-quality vocational courses.",
"Critics at the time said the changes had impacted schools operating in poor areas the most."

"The video, taken by astronaut Barry 'Butch' Wilmore aboard the ISS, follows the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, and captures the moment 'sunrise touches aurora.'",
"Nasa filmed the footage over Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts before the clip was sped up and posted online.",
"Northern Lights is the common name for Aurora Borealis, a light show of varying colours caused by collisions between electrically-charged particles from the sun that enter the Earth's atmosphere.",
"Aurora are one effect of energetic particles which can speed out from the sun both in a steady stream called the solar wind and due to giant eruptions known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs.",
"After a trip toward Earth that can last two to three days, the solar particles and magnetic fields cause the release of particles already trapped near Earth.",
"As the video progresses, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts are passed over - as the sunrise 'touches' the aurora.",
"This in turn trigger reactions in the upper atmosphere in which oxygen and nitrogen molecules are released a particles of light.",
"The strong solar flare which created this aurora triggered a radio blackout for parts of Earth over the weekend, according to an alert from the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center.",
"Usually the best spots to see the lights are those places close to the North Pole, such as Iceland and Norway.",
"In the southern hemisphere, they are known as the Aurora Australis and can often be mirror-like images that occur at the same time as in the north.",
"Clear winter nights tend to be better for observing the sky due to less haze and water vapour in the air.",
"The colour of the aurora depends on which gas - oxygen or nitrogen - is being generated by the electrons.",
"It also depends on how fast the electrons are moving.",
"As well as Earth, any planet with a magnetic eld and an atmosphere should have auroras, including Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus."

"Tim Cook has hit out at the sedentary lifestyle of many people, claiming that sitting is terrible for your health -and that the upcoming Apple Watch can help.",
"While addressing a Goldman Sachs tech conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, the Apple CEO said 'a lot of doctors believe sitting is the new cancer.'",
"Cook revealed he's been using his Apple smartwatch to remind him to get up and move every hour.",
"'Sitting is the new cancer': Apple CEO made a startling statement while plugging the soon to be released Apple Watch .",
"'If I sit for too long, it will actually tap me on the wrist to remind me to get up and move, because a lot of doctors think sitting is the new cancer,' said Cook.",
"'Ten minutes before the hour, it will remind you to move.",
"We have a lot of people using the Apple Watch at Apple, and ten minutes before the hour, suddenly they all get up and move.",
"'It took a little to get used to, but it's great.'",
"The $349 must-have gadget starts shipping in April.",
"Cook made the announcement just as Apple became the first company to reach a market value of $700 billion.",
"Shares rose 1.9 percent to close at $122.02, lifting Apple's market value to $710 billion, and making it the first company to hit the $700 billion milestone.",
"Cook, speaking at the Goldman Sachs Technology & Internet Conference, said Apple was hitting its stride.",
"'We've taken (the mobile operating system) iOS and extended it into your car, into your home, into your health.",
"All of these are really critical parts of your life,' Cook said.",
"'We want one seamless kind of life.",
"'And so, I think that is huge for our future...We also did a lot of things to further our global footprint.",
"And so, if you look at what we've done in China, we've opened more stores there.",
"'We've opened a lot more distribution there.",
"Through the world, we've opened almost 20,000 new points of sale.",
"As several recent studies have discovered, sitting for too long can be as dangerous to health as smoking.",
"It more than doubles your risk of diabetes and is linked with an increase in heart disease.",
"In fact, inactivity is the fourth biggest killer of adults, according to the World Health Organisation.",
"But the scariest thing of all?",
"The results are the same however much exercise people do when they're not sitting down.",
"'Most people think that if they work out every day that's all they need to do,' says researcher Dr Emma Wilmot, whose team at the University of Leicester analysed 18 studies incorporating a total of 800,000 people.",
"'But those with jobs that require sitting all day may still be at risk.",
"'When we sit for long periods of time, enzyme changes occur in our muscles that can lead to increased blood sugar levels.",

"The U.S. tech giant recently posted record revenue of $74.6 billion (£49.2bn) for the three months to December 31, outstripping the quarterly GDP of Israel, Greece or Denmark.",
"Apple's cash pile is now $178 billion (£117bn), the equivalent to $556 for every American and bigger than the £95billion budget for Britain's National Health Service.",
"Its landmark performance was driven by record-breaking sales for its iPhone 6 and 6 plus, with the firm revealing it sold 34,000 handsets every hour for the entire quarter.",
"'We've opened 27 new Apple Stores, lot of flagship stores.'",
"Cook said Apple took some $50 billion in revenue in emerging markets over the past calendar year.",
"Brian White, analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, said the leading tech company has even more room to grow.",
"'Given Apple's powerful iPhone cycle, a big 4G ramp in China and the upcoming launch of Apple Watch in April, we believe there is still plenty to look forward to at Apple during this transformational cycle,' he said in a note to clients.",
"'At the same time, we believe Apple's valuation has room to expand from depressed levels.'",
"Apple shares remain valued at reasonable levels, according to analysts, because of the whopping $18 billion quarterly profit reported recently by the iPhone and iPad maker.",
"Using the price-earnings ratio favored by Wall Street, Apple is valued at around 16 times its annual earnings, but Fitzgerald said the value was only around 10 times the projected earnings for the next fiscal year.",
"Apple is far ahead in market value from the number two company, oil giant Exxon Mobil, worth some $382 billion at the market close.",
"Historic first: Apple on Tuesday became the first company in history to reach a market value of $700 billion .",
"The record Apple quarterly profit -- on unprecedented revenue of $74.6 billion -- was driven by the sale of 74.5 million iPhones, well ahead of most analysts' expectations.",
"Analysts are also seeing expanded adoption of the Apple Pay system that enables customers to purchase items with a tap of their iPhone, and many predict strong demand for the Apple Watch set for release in April.",
"Separately, Apple agreed to commit $848 million for solar energy to power its data centers, according to a statement from First Solar, Inc. Cook called the effort 'our biggest, boldest, and most ambitious project ever' and said it was part of Apple's commitment on clean energy and corporate responsibility."

"'And the actual act of intervening within the amount of waste that comes in that.",
"'You get so much incredible stuff, and it's all edible as long as you're working along safety lines.'",
"The 27-year-old archaeology student said a Facebook page they set up for Canberra dumpster divers a few months ago had amassed followers 'exponentially' as more people turn to bins as a food source.",
"'The main reason we do it is we get so much fresh fruit and vegetables, which are pretty expensive when you buy it every few days,' Mr Skitmore said.",
"'A lot of really high-end stuff, that's the stuff the supermarkets don't sell that much of, like gourmet heirloom carrots.",
"'In winter we go for the meat and dairy which is also there in the summer but it's not food safe in the summer.'",

"'We go there because the managers of those shops are really pretty supportive,' Mr Skitmore said.",

"The London Mayor, one of the leading contenders to succeed the PM as Tory leader, said that a speedy decision would be positive for Britain and Europe.",

"Boris Johnson, pictured, advised David Cameron to fast-forward his planned EU referendum .",
"He has pledged to renegotiate looser ties with Brussels and then hold an in/out referendum by the end of 2017.",
"The commitment has become a key election battleground, since Labour has set its face against a referendum.",
"Downing Street has dismissed the idea that it has secretly been planning to bring the vote forward to next year if Mr Cameron remains in office.",
"However, during a G20 finance ministers summit in Turkey, Chancellor George Osborne hinted that the date might be brought forward.",
"He said the Prime Minister would be ‘delighted’ if he could complete renegotiation of the UK’s EU membership earlier.",
"Mr Johnson said: ‘I very much welcome the idea of bringing forward the renegotiation and the referendum.",

"Get it done, get the change, get it done, put it to the people.’ David Cameron warned business leaders yesterday that his planned EU referendum was required otherwise the UK would 'drift towards the exit' and the poll would be based on his renegotiation of the agreement .",
"Mr Cameron yesterday warned that public scepticism about the EU meant that Britain would ‘drift towards the exit of the EU’ unless a referendum was held.",
"Addressing the annual conference of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) in London, the Prime Minister insisted that firms were backing his plan to hold a referendum after renegotiating the terms of Britain’s membership.",
"‘They are saying it is quite right to have a strategy that gives Britain the best chance of staying in a reformed European Union that works in our interest and that is what my approach is,’ he said.",
"‘Let’s get stuck in there, let’s hold a negotiation, let’s deal with those things that are holding Britain back, and then let’s have this put to the British public in an in/out referendum.’ A Downing Street source said: ‘We have always said we want a referendum by the end of 2017, and there is no secret plan to hold it next year.",
"But both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor have said if they can do it sooner, that would be great.",
"We want to get reform agreed, and there are serious negotiations and discussions to be had.",
"There are 28 countries in the EU and we are not going to pretend that can happen overnight.’ However Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said Labour would never ‘flirt with exit’.",

"Incredibly, it surfaced for a second time last year during a car insurance fraud, when Italian police discovered a lawyer was trying to negotiate its sale for £90million.",
"Prosecutor Manfredi Palumbo said: ‘As part of a separate insurance fraud investigation came to know that an Italian lawyer in Pessaro had been made the agent to tell a painting attributed to da Vinci for no less than 95 million euros (£70m).",

"Carlo Pedretti of the University of California said tests showed there were ‘no doubts’ that the latest portrait was the work of da Vinci .",

"Many people would assume that the book ‘Melanie’s Marvellous Measles’ is a joke, considering the disease is responsible for killing 145,000 people every year.",

"A group describing itself as a 'Militant Resistance' to a 'corrupt police state' has offered $5000 for details of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson's whereabouts, MailOnline can reveal.",
"Officer Wilson, 28, has been in hiding on paid leave ever since he gunned down unarmed teenager Michael Brown, 18, on 9 August.",
"Now, in one of a series of incendiary tweets the RbG Black Rebels have stated, 'We are paying $5k cash for location of Ofc.",
"Darren Wilson.",
"Real $, no joke, no crime we just wana get his photo an ask him a few questions.'",
"And though the RbG Black Rebels insist this is not a bounty on the officer's head, the chilling offer is set in the context of a stream of violent online posts boasting of 'combat experience', 'stockpiling' ammunition, cleaning out gun stores and being #WarReady.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"The incendiary tweet from the group: part of a twitter feed which includes references to 'war ready' which is likely to increase tensions in Ferguson ahead of the expected grand jury verdict on the shooting of Michael Brown by police office Darren Wilson .",
"The 'Black Rebels' have used their Twitter feed to claim the police are preparing for 'war' when the grand just verdict is announced, which could be as early as Wednesday .",
"Pointed: The feed includes a reference to ammunition which will 'solve a lot of problems'.",
"The FBI has already warned that extremist violence is 'likely'.",
"Typical of the reponse elicited by the offer is one follower's demand, '@BlackRebels_Stl@OpFerguson Yank that bastard off the street.",
"He is a murderer running free still.'",
"Governor Jay Nixon has already declared a State of Emergency and called in the National Guard in anticipation of the violence that FBI agents have described as 'inevitable' when the Grand Jury charged with deciding the fate of Officer Wilson, 28, delivers their verdict.",
"Having promised that a decision would be reached 'by late November' it now seems likely that the Grand Jury will return that decision this week.",
"A series of Grand Jury leaks, and Missouri law which allows officers to use lethal force if they believe their life to be in danger, have led many to believe that Wilson will not be indicted on murder charges as Brown's family and supporters hope.",
"It is three months since Wilson pumped six bullets into the teenager as he walked down the middle of the road with a friend.",
"In the wake of the shooting which ignited racial tension in the Missouri town rioters took to the streets armed with Molotov cocktails and chanting the slogan 'Hands Up Don't Shoot' - a reference to some witness accounts that the teenager had his hands up in surrender when Wilson fired off his fatal volley of shots.",
"RbG Black Rebel's disturbing offer and tweets show the seething anger and hunger for violence among some agitators.",
"They have no faith in the judicial system and seem intent on ignoring official calls for peaceful protest and calm.",
"As reported by MailOnline that chatter has extended to St Louis own police officers.",
"Writing on the forum St Louis Cop Talk one user writing under the username 'A Concerned Cop' advised residents, 'If you do not have a gun, get one and get one soon.",
"We will not be able to protect you or your family.'",
"In what appeared to be a direct strike at Governor Nixon's decision to activate the National Guard rather than entrusting St Louis's own force with policing the streets of Ferguson, the user continued, 'It will be your responsibility to protect them.",
"Our gutless commanders and politicians have neutered us.",
"'I'm serious, get a gun, get more than one, and keep one with you at all times.'",
"Killed: Michael Brown, 18, (left) was shot dead by police officer Darren Wilson (right) in Ferguson, Missouri.",

"He said, 'The way we view this, the Guard is not going to be confronting the protesters and will not be on (the) front line interacting with demonstrators.'",
"Gun sales have been said to be increasing.",
"One gun shop owner, Steve King of Metro Shooting Supplies, in nearby Bridgeton, told the Washington Post sales had increased from a typical 30 or 40 firearms a week to 250 this week.",
"'These people are afraid.One hundred percent of them are buying because of Ferguson,' he said.",
"When violence first exploded in Ferguson and cities across the states as the Michael Brown's shooting ignited underlying racial tensions in Missouri and beyond, the National Guard's intervention saw a visible reduction in violence.",
"Missouri State Highway Patrol had initially been tasked with policing the protests when Governor Nixon first declared a state of emergency in August.",

"Flashpoint: Pattie Canter, a supporter of police officer Darren Wilson, argues with critics of the police in Ferguson at a demonstration yesterday.",
"Larger protests are expected when the grand jury reach its verdict .",
"Officers were clearly seen walking with guns un-holstered and raised towards unarmed protesters.",
"The National Guard's strategy of working with community leaders and moving among protesters rather than drawing battle lines saw a marked drop in violence.",
"According to reports based on unnamed sources in the St Louis Dispatch officer Wilson has told authorities that he realized that Brown and his friend matched the description of two youths involved in a theft at a convenience store just minutes before he saw them walking down the middle of the road.",
"He has claimed that, having passed the teenagers whom he told not to walk in the middle of the road, he then doubled back and some sort of confrontation with Brown occurred at his police vehicle door.",
"The reports state that Wilson claimed a struggle for his gun ensued resulting in him firing two shots and hitting Brown in the hand.",
"When the youth tried to escape he allegedly stated that he continued to shoot, firing off the fatal volley of shots when Brown turned and 'charged' back towards him.",
"This account is in stark contrast with that of several eye witnesses and Brown's companion who have claimed that the unarmed teen had his hands up, or by his side, and begged the officer 'Stop shooting.'",
"St Louis Prosecutor Bob McCulloch's office have promised to unseal and release all evidence reviewed by the Grand Jury following its decision."

"It may have been touted as the steamiest thing in Hollywood - but movie critics rounded on Fifty Shades of Grey for being too light on the sex.",
"In a barrage of reviews published on Tuesday night, most of those who sat down with the raunchy adaptation ahead of its 13 February release date lamented its 'run-of-the-mill' lovemaking.",
"One critic pointed out that sex only makes up 15 minutes of the two-hour runtime.",
"Another pointed out that there are no visible genitals, no orgasms - and not that much nudity.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Too many clothes?",
"Movie critics remarked on how little sex there was in the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey, starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, above, as leads Ana Steele and Christian Grey .",
"Pants on: One writer noted that Dornan spent much of the raunchy film with only his shirt off .",
"Frustrated critics implied that the on-screen action between leads Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan left them unfulfilled, in contrast to EL James's notoriously explicit novels.",
"Writing in USA Today, critic Claudia Puig said bluntly: 'Those looking for hot, kinky sex will be disappointed.",
"Fewer than 15 of the movie's 125 minutes feature sex scenes.",
"'Discussion of contracts and objections over line items outweigh erotica.",
"Even the graphic nudity grows numbing.'",
"In Entertainment Weekly, freelance critic Lisa Schwarzbaum particularly noted Dorman's lack of on-screen exposure.",
"'Nobody in the movie has visible genitals', she said.",
"'Christian in particular seems to do a whole lot of stuff in the playroom with his shirt off but his pants on, which cannot be comfortable for such an active young man.",
"'But even more frustrating to voyeurs, nobody sweats, nobody strains, nobody loses control or even fakes losing control by simulating an orgasm.'",
"More sweat, please: Writers seemed put out that the levels of nudity and sexual interaction on-screen did not match the steamy books by EL James .",
"And, while the trappings and devices of kinky sex do exist in the film, another writer pointed out that they are not put to especially shocking use.",
"The New York Daily News's Elizabeth Weitzman said: '..anyone hoping the movie would really push the S&M envelope may find Christian's tastefully shot toy room a little… vanilla.",
"'We see a whip here, a handcuff there, but nothing that would shock even newcomers to the series.'",
"The Guardian describe Jamie Dornan's performance as 'adequate,' and reveal that the highly anticipated sex scenes only really serve to push the plot forward.",
"Jordan Hoffman says: 'The sex scenes in Fifty Shades of Grey are numerous, lengthy and frank, but they aren’t smutty.",
"'Only occasionally does it dip into Red Shoe Diaries-territory.",
"By and large, these key scenes really are there to advance the plot, and only the most buttoned-up prude will be scandalised.'",
"'Vanilla': Though whips, handcuffs and other BDSM paraphernalia are present in the film, it was implied they are not made much use of .",
"Disappointment? Only 15 minutes of the two-hour-plus film are said to be sex .",
"Justin Craig from Fox News described the film as medicore: 'Just how sexually explicit is “Fifty Shades of Grey?” It’s mild.",
"'Sure there’s plenty of nudity, but more salacious material is shown every day on cable.",
"It’s not even close to late-night Cinemax.",
"You’ll find more disturbing images in “Saw” or “Game of Thrones.” 'The mediocre plot, bland characters and tepid tone don’t do any favors.",
"Director Sam Taylor-Johnson treats the movie as serious as a cadaver, which is truly a major disappointment.'",
"A writer for the Associated Press coyly noted 'there is more scintillating material in a premium HBO show'.",
"Lindsey Bahr said Fifty Shades was 'run of the mill' - drawing the comparison with sex-laden cable shows like Game of Thrones, or Lena Dunham's Girls, which is notoriously graphic and unsentimental when it comes to copulation.",
"Josh Dickey at Mashable said: 'It's just kind of an above-average and brooding \"love\" story, not campy or clumsy enough to be so-bad-it's-good, not quite stylish or sizzling or steamy enough to overcome its atrocious source material.'",
"Starting his review of the film by echoing many of the other critics sentiments: 'Here's a criticism of Fifty Shades of Grey you probably weren't expecting: There's not nearly enough sex in it.",

"Love story: Some critics have praised the romance of the film which sees Ana fall for Christian .",
"However, while critics mainly said the film failed to perform sexually, praise was doled out for the film's storytelling and dialogue, which was characterized as more subtle and elegant than James's novels.",
"Time Out New York writer David Ehrlich said: 'Substituting heartache for handcuffs, Fifty Shades is the rare studio romance in which the characters actually try to understand one another.",
"'As this is the first installment of an epic trilogy, how much there is beneath the surface remains to be seen, but Taylor-Johnson seems genuinely interested in finding out.",
"Fifty Shades may not make you come, but you’ll still be glad you went.'",
"Whilst Sheri Linden of the Hollywood Reporter revealed: 'It’s a slow build to the smutty bits, and one that’s disappointingly devoid of tension.",
"'Even so, the movie is, by definition, a stronger proposition than the book because it strips away the oodles of cringe-inducing descriptions and internal monologue that tip the text heavily toward self-parody.",
"'Things grow more compelling once Christian Grey whips out his nondisclosure agreement – along with a nice Pouilly-Fumé, naturally – and shows Ana his 'playroom', expertly outfitted with state-of-the-art S&M gear.'",
"Similarly the Telegraph praised the film for stripping away the fat of the book transforming it into a sleek and watchable movie.",
"Film critic Tim Robey says: 'Johnson’s timing and verve are terrific, and manage to upend the more distasteful indignities of the book in gold-spun-from-straw ways.",
"'It’s her rebellion, not just her submission, that this version of Christian finds attractive, which gives Dornan something more interesting, human, and contradictory to play as well.",
"'If Taylor-Johnson and James bitterly tussled for control over this material, it's a relief and even a bit of a thrill that the director came out on top.'"

"Women are more likely than men to blame their partner for failings in their relationship, according to a new study.",
"Researchers also found people who are unhappy in their romantic relationship spend more time during a disagreement thinking about how angry and frustrated they are, while happy couples coordinate their thoughts so that when one partner has many emotional thoughts, the other has few.",
"Lead investigator Doctor Anita Vangelisti, professor of communication at the University of Texas, said: 'Among happy couples, when one partner is thinking a lot about disagreement or anger, the other instead may be thinking about how to understand his or her partner or how to resolve the conflict.'",
"A new study found that women are the ones who pass the blame to their husbands when it comes to arguments (and most are about money and past relationships) She said the findings show that people's thoughts during a conflict situation reflect and shape their own relationship satisfaction and can even affect how happy their partner is.",
"Dr Vangelisti and her colleagues studied 71 young unmarried heterosexual couples in Texas, who had been together an average of three years.",
"Each person was encouraged to privately express his or her thoughts aloud to a researcher while in a separate room from the other partner and while communicating about a topic of conflict with the partner via a computer chat programme.",
"The chat programme showed the person's typed messages in one section and the partner's replies and messages in another section, but did not display the person's vocalised thoughts, which were tape recorded.",
"The researchers found that during a discussion involving conflict with a romantic partner, when one person thinks about making excuses or denying his or her role in the conflict, the other partner was likelier to be unhappy in the relationship .",
"In most cases, the couples discussed a topic of disagreement that both participants had listed in a questionnaire about conflict issues.",
"Before the study, they also completed a questionnaire about their relationship satisfaction.",
"Topics of conflict included amount of time spent together, money, past dating relationships, alcohol use, and friends and relatives who disapproved of their relationship.",
"The researchers told the couples they had 10 minutes to discuss the topic and come to a resolution.",
"A researcher sat behind the participant in each room and reminded that study subject to voice his or her thoughts throughout the interaction.",
"The researchers found that during a discussion involving conflict with a romantic partner, when one person thinks about making excuses or denying his or her role in the conflict, the other partner was likelier to be unhappy in the relationship than those whose partner did not 'stonewall.'",
"People in unhappy relationships were more likely to be inflexible in their thinking and more interested in changing the subject of discussion.",
"They also thought more about how repetitive the discussion felt.",
"When both people in the relationship were dissatisfied, they were more likely to think about the power they had or their partner had in the relationship.",
"They also were more likely to focus their thoughts on disagreement or emotions, such as anger and frustration, at the same time as their partner.",
"Doctor Vangelisti said: 'We don't have data on what happens when partners change their thoughts, but our findings certainly do suggest that thinking about how angry and frustrated you are - or thinking about how much power is being wielded during a conflict - is not beneficial for the relationship.'",
"She speculated that people's thoughts might affect their partner's relationship satisfaction because they often voice their thoughts to their partner or, in a real-life setting, they send non-verbal messages.",
"Unlike other studies, which found differences between men's and women's thoughts during disagreement, the current study found only one statistically significant sex-based difference in thoughts: women were more likely than men to blame their partner.",
"Dr Vangelisti added: 'The results raise questions about widely accepted differences between women's and men's cognitions.'",
"However, she warned that computer-aided interactions are not the same as face-to-face conversations because they do not give participants access to each other's expressions or tone of voice.",
"The researchers concluded that participants' thoughts may therefore differ from those they might have during a face-to-face conflict.",
"The findings were published online in the journal Communication Monographs."

"Beleaguered NBC anchor Brian Williams has finally been suspended without pay amid a firestorm of criticism over false claims he was inside a helicopter that was gunned down over Iraq.",
"Williams, anchor and Managing Editor of the flagship Nightly News show, had been under fire for 11 days after being called out on the overblown story by indignant veterans of the 2003 invasion.",
"Bosses at the network finally acted after deciding Williams's own decision to remove himself from anchoring for 'several days' was not enough.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Suspended: Brian Williams's pay has been stopped for six months during the suspension.",
"The decision was announced by the British president of NBC News, Deborah Turness, right, who has overseen a string of high-profile departures .",
"Boots on the ground: Williams, pictured above covering Iraq, was pulled up by veterans on an overblown story of being aboard a helicopter hit by an RPG - which it emerged he was not on at all .",
"In a note sent to NBC staff, Deborah Turness, the president of NBC's news division, described his puffed-up retellings of events from 2003 as 'wrong and completely inappropriate'.",
"In the mean time Lester Holt, who has already covered two broadcasts for Williams, will sit in the Nightly News anchor's chair.",
"The scandal began on January 30, when Williams repeated an often-told anecdote about being on board a Chinook helicopter during the 2003 Iraq invasion.",
"He said that he was on board a chopper which got hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and was forced to land.",
"In fact, he was on a completely different helicopter.",
"After being called out on the tall tale by veterans who objected to his glory-grabbing, Williams issued an on-air apology - and said he had been in a 'following' helicopter.",
"This detail too came under scrutiny, and it emerged his chopper had been part of a different mission and was around half an hour behind.",
"Stand-in: Lester Holt, right, will fill the Nightly News anchor's chair while Williams is away .",
"Dead body? Another Williams anecdote - of seeing a dead body float down a street in New Orleans's French Quarter during Hurricane Katrina, was also called into question .",
"In danger? Williams also gave a contentious account of his time covering Israel's war with Hezbollah - once claiming there was rocket fire 'just underneath' the helicopter (above) he was riding in - a detail that was notably absent from his reporting at the time .",
"Tough calls: Turness has been behind high-profile sackings at NBC .",
"Deborah Turness, the Brit flown over to rescue NBC's news operation in 2013, has form when it comes to cutting high-profile newsmen loose.",
"After arriving to a ratings slide at several major shows, Turness was uncompromising in cutting out figures that some saw as staid and unexciting.",
"David Gregory, the longtime moderate on the Meet the Press political show, was sacked last August after Turness after extensively wrangling over the show's format and guests, according to the Daily Beast.",
"Gregory was reportedly picking up his kids from summer camp when CNN broke the news that he was being replaced - which NBC then had to rush to confirm.",
"That sacking came not long after the network got rid of Jamie Horowitz - a former ESPN executive whom Turness employed for a total of just ten weeks.",
"Horowitz reportedly made so many enemies in his task of reforming the Today show that it became impossible to keep him on.",
"In a memo to NBC staffers, Turness said: 'he and I have come to the conclusion that this is not the right fit.'",
"Whether Brian Williams will ultimately be faced with the same conclusion remains to be seen.",
"His plight worsened after other grand, personal stories - from Hurricane Katrina, Israel's 2006 war with Hezbollah, and even a childhood tale of being mugged - were also called into question.",
"In her note, Turness wrote: 'We have decided today to suspend Brian Williams as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for six months.",
"'The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately.'",
"'While on Nightly News on Friday, January 30, 2015, Brian misrepresented events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003.",
"'It then became clear that on other occasions Brian had done the same while telling that story in other venues.",
"This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in Brian’s position.",
"'In addition, we have concerns about comments that occurred outside NBC News while Brian was talking about his experiences in the field.",
"Steve Burke, the CEO of NBC Universal, also spoke out in the message.",
"He said: 'By his actions, Brian has jeopardized the trust millions of Americans place in NBC News.",
"'His actions are inexcusable and this suspension is severe and appropriate.'",
"However, he implied that Williams would eventually come back from the suspension, saying he is 'committed' to regaining his tattered credibility.",
"Burke said: 'He deserves a second chance and we are rooting for him.",
"Brian has shared his deep remorse with me and he is committed to winning back everyone’s trust.",
"Currently off the air after he admitted to lying about being hit by enemy fire in Iraq, a number of Williams' other seemingly outlandish claims are currently coming under increased scrutiny .",
"Red Bank, New Jersey, 1970s .",
"In a 2011 interview, Brian Williams recalled his time as a teenage volunteer firefighter during which he saved a puppy.",
"However in a 2005 Esquire interview, Williams had claimed to save not one but two puppies.",
"In the same Esquire interview Williams also revealed that he had been mugged at gunpoint while selling Christmas trees in the sleepy New Jersey town in which he grew up.",
"A number of locals have questioned the credibility of his claim that someone ‘stuck a .38-caliber in my face'.",
"Iraq War, 2003 .",
"Over the years Williams has told multiple versions of a story about being in an Army Chinook helicopter during the Iraq War in 2003.",
"Last month he claimed his helicopter was hit by ground fire, an allegation he was later forced to admit was false after an outcry from soldiers who were present.",
"Williams issued an on-air apology and wrote on Facebook: 'Nobody's trying to steal anyone's valor.'",
"Hurricane Katrina, 2005 .",
"Williams has told several stories about his experiences reporting from New Orleans.",
"He has claimed to have seen a dead body float past the window of his hotel in the city's French Quarter – even though the area wasn't flooded.",
"The accuracy of other Katrina claims, including that he caught dysentery drinking the flood waters and that his hotel was ‘overrun’ with gangs, have been called into question by others who were on the ground during the disaster.",
"Israel, 2006 .",
"In a 2007 interview with Fairfield University Student Television, Williams recalled 'Katyusha rockets passing just underneath the helicopter I was riding in' during a trip to Israel.",
"In fact he was nowhere near enemy fire and in a broadcast segment filmed that day he described rocket fire 'six miles away'.",
"Boston, 2006 .",
"A Navy vet accused Williams of lying to skip an event honoring members of the Armed Forces so that he could appear on Saturday Night Live.",
"On the day of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society event the NBC News anchor told organizers that a 'pressing engagement' meant he wouldn't be able speak at the dinner, but later that evening he appeared in a walk-on role on SNL's Weekend Update."

"Labour sent Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls and business spokesman Chuka Umunna.",
"However Mr Miliband spent the day locked in ‘internal meetings’ in Westminster – just 200 yards from the conference venue.",
"Mr Longworth said: ‘It is disappointing that Ed Miliband is not at our conference.",

"Construction on the crude model appears to be in full swing at a shipyard near Bandar Abbas, as shown in newly released commercial satellite images.",
"'They got this barge and threw some wood on top of it to make it look like the USS Nimitz.",
"That's all we know for sure,' a U.S. defense official told AFP.",
"Officials in the Obama administration believe that the faux carrier might be used for propaganda value, but they are not sure at this time what Teheran is hoping to accomplish with this project.",
"The wooden, non-operational aircraft carrier made to look like a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered American vessel was first spotted on the Persian Gulf last summer, the New York Times reported.",
"Besides having the shape of the 1,100-foot-long carriers, such as USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Carl Vinson, the shipbuilders also replicated the distinctive white markings on the bow.",

"But officials are not overly concerned with the boxy, too-short replica, saying that unlike the real thing, Iran's glorified barge is not operational or propelled by nuclear power.",
"The real thing: The U.S. Navy has ten Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, which are 1,100 feet in length and feature a nuclear propulsion system .",
"It still remains a mystery what Teheran is planning to do with the copy once it is complete.",
"One theory is that the Nimitz-inspired vessel could be towed to sea and detonated, with the explosion shown on state TV for anti-American propaganda purposes.",
"According to the Times, Iran has used barges for televised missile target practice in the past.",
"Devil's in the details: Iranian shipbuilders supplied their glorified barge with white markings characteristic of Nimitz carriers, but officials are certain that the fake vessel is not operational and has no nuclear power .",

"The Royal Navy's newest submarine - a miniature sub which can launch underwater that James Bond would be proud of, has been spotted moored off of Gibraltar.",
"The submarine is intended to launch underwater in order to carry commandos to their destinations covertly so they can perform attacks or infiltration near the water.",
"Attached to a large nuclear sub, the mini pod can carry up to around eight elite commandos in heavy assault gear and is designed to be as stealthy as possible.",
"The miniature submarine atop the HMS Astute, as manufacturers look on at its installation .",
"The pod can be seen attached to the topside of the nuclear submarine, the HMS Astute, currently off the coast of Gibraltar.",
"In a covert attack, the secret submarine pod will detach from the HMS Astute and head to its destination, absorbing sonar on the way to evade detection.",
"The pod will be in use by Special Boat Service commandos in their covert operations, and the miniature submarine will likely make their activities hard to predict or anticipate.",

"The mini-sub opening its deployment hatch, where the commandos will leave from during their covert operations .",
"Before it was mounted to the top of the HMS Astute, the miniature submarine had to be airlifted by helicopter to seas near its destination, before being picked up later.",
"Now the submarine will move closer to the destination, and plans for deployment and support for the commandos will be more readily available.",
"The miniature submarine, codenamed 'Project Chalfont', has been tested since it was installed in 2012, but this is the first time it will reach active service.",
"The miniature covert submarine is designed to be as stealthy as possible, and even comes with the ability to absorb sonar to avoid detection .",
"The HMS Astute is the largest attack submarine the Royal Navy has at its disposal, and is the lead ship of its class.",
"Thanks to air recycling it could theoretically circumnavigate the planet without having to resurface, and its nuclear power system means it will never have to refuel again during its 25-year-service.",
"However, its limit is that it is only able to carry three months worth of food for the 98 crew needed to man it.",
"The miniature submarine's main duties are for counter intelligence, as it allows for incredibly covert ops from discreet locations, and will now be able to deploy while hidden underwater, rather than having to travel by helicopter, which runs the risk of revealing its position."

"Grizzly bears have emerged from hibernation far earlier than expected in Yellowstone.",

"They usually emerge in first few weeks of March, prompting ranger to issue emergency warnings to visitors.",
"They blame the relatively mild winter weather for the early emergence of bears in the Greater Yellowstone area.",
"A grizzly bear was observed late in the afternoon, scavenging on a bison carcass in the central portion of the park.",
"'With bears emerging from hibernation hikers, skiers, and snowshoers are advised to stay in groups of three of more, make noise on the trail and carry bear spray,' the park said.",
"The same advice goes for those taking guided snowmobile trips in Yellowstone.",
"Bears begin looking for food soon after they emerge from their dens.",
"They are attracted to elk and bison that have died during the winter.",
"Carcasses are an important enough food source that bears will sometimes react aggressively when surprised while feeding on them.",
"Yellowstone regulations require visitors to stay 100 yards from black and grizzly bears at all times.",
"The best defense is to stay a safe distance from bears and use binoculars, a spotting scope or telephoto lens to get a closer look, the park said.",
"It advises all visitors traveling in the park away from developed areas should stay in groups of three or more, make noise on the trail, keep an eye out for bears and carry bear spray.",
"'Bear spray has proven to be a good last line of defense, if kept handy and used according to directions when a bear is approaching within 30 to 60 feet,' it advises.",
"Even the park’s law enforcement rangers who carry firearms on duty rely on bear spray, rather than their weapons, as the most effective means to deal with a bear encounter.",
"Visitors are also reminded to keep food, garbage, barbecue grills and other attractants stored in hard-sided vehicles or bear-proof food storage boxes.",
"This helps keep bears from becoming conditioned to human foods, and helps keep park visitors and their property safe.",
"Bear sightings should be reported to the nearest visitor center or ranger station as soon as possible."

"'At that time, several F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft were conducting a challenging air-to-air training mission.",
"'Typically, this would be carried out over water but the airspace to be used was lost to us and the jets were re-routed to the Wales military training airspace.",
"'During the course of the training exercise, near the coast and in the vicinity of Aberystwyth, one of the aircraft, already travelling at high speed, inadvertently and briefly went supersonic at around 18,000ft and in the process was likely to have caused the noise that was reported online.",
"'We offer our sincerest apologies for any disturbance or concern that this may have caused.",

"For decades Wally has eluded millions of children in the classic book series - and he’s likely frustrated a number of adults too.",
"To make finding the bespectacled Wally - or Waldo, as he is known in the US - easier, a Michigan-based computer scientist has devised a strategy using machine learning and algorithms.",
"By plotting the character's location across the series, Randal Olson created the path needed to travel around a typical page and find Wally in the quickest way possible each time.",
"Mr Olson used an algorithm to approximate the ‘optimal search path’ (pictured).",
"He then divided the path into four sections, the first part is shown in blue, the second is orange, the third is green and the final section is shown in red.",
"This path represents one of the shortest possible paths to follow on the page to find Wally .",
"The method built on a previous strategy by Ben Blatt from Slate magazine in November 2013.",
"During this research, Mr Blatt plotted Wally’s 68 locations across seven books.",
"Mr Olson took these plots to create a so-called kernel density estimation.",
"This established the probability of Wally being found in certain parts of a page.",
"From this, Mr Olson discovered that Wally is rarely located in the top left-hand corner, or along the edges, to account for the box that typically described the setting and for printing inconsistencies.",
"Wally was also never found on the bottom of the right-hand page.",
"Next, Mr Olson used what is known as the ‘travelling salesman problem’ to check every possible Wally location in the shortest time possible, with the least repetition.",
"By following this method, Mr Olson was able to ‘zoom through most illustrations’ (example pictured) in less than 10 seconds.",
"He also discovered that on at least four occasions, book one in particular had instances or ‘outliers’ in which the strategy didn't work .",

"‘In computer terms, that means we’re making a list of all 68 points that Wally could be at, then sorting them based on the order that we’re going to visit them,’ explained Mr Olson on his blog.",
"‘Those 68 points can be arranged in ~2.48 x 1096 possible ways.",

"He is also rarely found on the bottom of the right-hand page.",
"Start on the bottom half of the left-hand page.If Wally isn’t on the bottom half of the left page, 'then he’s probably not on the left page at all'.",
"The upper quarter of the right page is the next best place to look and Mr Olson said 'Wally seems to prefer to hide on the upper quarter of the right page.'",
"Next check the bottom right half of the right page.",
"Mr Olson added Wally has an aversion to the bottom left half of the right page and searchers shouldn't bother looking there until they're exhausted the other hot spots.",

"‘This path represents one of the shortest possible paths to follow on the page to find Wally,’ continued Mr Olson.",
"‘So if we followed this path exactly, we’d most likely find Wally much faster than someone following a more basic technique.’ But, Mr Olson acknowledged that humans are unable to remember a path as easily as a computer and revealed tips to make the process easier.",

"Marijuana makes money.",
"But legalizing it doesn't eliminate the black market or solve a state's budget problems.",
"Those are the lessons from Colorado's first full year of tax collections on recreational pot.",
"The year-end report, released Tuesday, tallied about $44 million in new sales taxes and excise taxes from recreational pot.",
"Add fees and pre-existing taxes from medical pot, which has been legal since 2000, and Colorado's total 2014 pot haul was about $76 million.",
"Taxes: Colorado tallied about $44 million in new sales taxes and excise taxes from recreational pot in 2014 .",
"Colorado was the first government anywhere in the world to regulate marijuana production and sales, so other governments are watching closely.",
"Estimates varied widely for how much money Colorado would make, and the final hard numbers have important lessons for other states considering legal weed markets.",
"Colorado started selling recreational weed on Jan. 1, 2014.",
"But its first month of sales resulted in only $1.6 million for the state.",
"By December, that figure was $5.4 million.",
"For reference, in February, it was about $ 1.8 million; March, about $ 2.5 million; April, about $3 million; May, approximately $3.2 million; June, about $3.4 million; July, approximately $4.4 million; August, about $4.8 million; September, about $4.4 million; October, approximately $5 million; and November, approximately $4.3 million.",
"KBTX reported that the $44 million figure is lower than what was first predicted, writing that 'new taxes were estimated to bring in about $70 million.'",
"The reason for the increase?",
"Regulatory delays.",
"Red tape meant stores opened slowly, with many municipalities waiting months before allowing pot shops to open.",
"In Washington state, delays were even more pronounced.",
"Washington voters legalized pot at the same time Colorado did, in 2012.",
"But retail sales in Washington didn't start until June, with stores slowly opening and sales increasing each month.",
"Things will speed up as more states legalize pot and can look to Colorado and Washington for regulatory guidance.",
"But legal weed isn't an overnight flood of tax money.",
"'Everyone who thinks Colorado's rollin' in the dough because of marijuana?",
"That's not true,' said state Sen. Pat Steadman, a Denver Democrat and one of the Legislature's main budget-writers.",
"Washington and Colorado set vastly different tax rates, both based on a percentage of the pot's value.",
"The states then had to immediately set a value for a product with no legal sales history.",
"What's the right price?",
"Colorado's pot regulators have struggled to establish a wholesale pot price to collect excise taxes.",
"'Taxing a percentage of price may simply not work,' said Pat Oglesby, a former congressional tax staffer who now studies marijuana's tax potential at the Chapel Hill, N.C., Center for New Revenue.",
"He pointed out that the two latest legal weed states — Alaska and Oregon, both still working on retail regulations — will tax marijuana by weight, similar to how tobacco is taxed.",
"Every state in the union, liberal to conservative, has a market for marijuana.",
"And making pot legal doesn't guarantee those consumers will leave the black market and happily sign up to start paying taxes.",
"In Washington state, medical marijuana isn't taxed.",
"It is in Colorado, but all adults are allowed to grow up to six plants on their own.",
"That means the states' new marijuana markets had legal competition from Day One.",
"And that doesn't account for the black market, which of course is completely free of taxes and regulations.",
"Lawmakers in both Colorado and Washington are looking for ways to drive pot smokers out of the lower-taxed medical pot market and into the recreational one.",
"But obstacles are stiff.",
"'If there is untaxed medical pot, the taxes are voluntary.",
"When you make it voluntary, people won't necessarily pay,' Oglesby said.",
"The marijuana market is far from settled.",
"Colorado benefited from first-in-the-nation curiosity and marijuana tourism.",
"As more states legalize, Colorado and Washington will face competition.",
"'Colorado is probably kind of a best-case scenario' for pot tax collections, said Jeffrey Miron, a Harvard University economist who studies the drug market.",
"'If a number of other states legalize — and two of them already have — then bit by bit, Colorado revenue is likely to decline.'",
"There's an even bigger uncertainty looming for states considering legal weed — a new president in 2016.",
"'The huge unknown is still federal policy,' Miron said.",
"'A new president can radically change state policies toward legalization.'",
"Senators Pat Steadman, left, D-Denver, and Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, are seen in this 2013 file photo.",
"Steadman is one of Colorado's legislative budget-writers and has been tasked with following Colorado's pot tax collections ."

"Massive amounts of carbon dioxide released from the deep ocean brought an end to the last ice age, according to new research.",
"A study examining fluctuations in ocean acidity recorded in the shells of ancient marine animals has shown how levels of carbon dioxide soared around 16,000 to 7,500 years ago.",
"The scientists behind the research found the gas appears to have been released from hot spots in the Southern Atlantic Ocean and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, carried to the surface by currents welling up from the deep ocean.",
"Carbon dioxide from the deep sea may have led glaciers, like the one above, melting at the end of the ice age .",
"They say this release of carbon dioxide from where it was trapped in the deep ocean is likely to have played a major role in the warming that lead to the melting of the ice sheets that covered much of the world.",
"The glaciers that accompanied ice ages are responsible for carving out enormous swathes of rock on Earth, but these periods of cold weather may have built up its crust too .",
"Colder spells caused water to be drawn up into glaciers, and in turn this caused sea levels to drop, allowing more magma to seep out from underwater eruptions.",
"This, scientists believe, caused thicker sections of crust to emerge during the same period.",
"The theory - published in the journal Science - suggests that during an ice age, increased amounts of water are taken up into glaciers, causing sea levels to drop by up to 330ft (100 metres).",
"This reduces the pressure on the ocean floor, allowing magma to erupt more easily and spread across the ocean floor more easily.",
"This occurs where plates of ocean crust move apart, allowing magma to erupt outwards into the water.",
"On the bottom of the oceans, this forms so-called 'abyssal hills', which are ridges hundreds of metres long, separated by valleys, on plates moving away from each other.",
"It suggests that climatic effects on the surface of Earth can have previously unknown effects on other parts of the planet.",
"The findings help to provide new clues about how the world was transformed from being largely locked in ice to the milder climate that exists today.",
"However, it is still unclear exactly what triggered the release of the gas from the ocean floor in the first place.",
"Researchers claim that it could also provide insight into how the oceans can affect the climate.",
"Dr Miguel Martinez-Boti, a paleoceanographer who led the study at the University of Southampton, said: 'The magnitude and rapidity of the swings in atmospheric CO2 across the ice age cycles suggests that changes in ocean carbon storage are important drivers of natural atmospheric CO2 variations.",
"'Our findings support the theory that a series of processes operating in the southernmost sector of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, a region known as the ‘Southern Ocean’, changed the amount of carbon stored in the deep-sea.",
"'While a reduction in communication between the deep-sea and the atmosphere in this region potentially locks carbon away from the atmosphere into the abyss during ice ages, the opposite occurs during warm interglacial periods.'",
"The study, which is published in the journal Nature, examined the levels of boron isotopes in the fossils of microscopic plankton obtained from deep sea drilling samples.",
"This allowed them to calculate the acidity of the ocean the plankton lived in at the time - something that is affected by astmospheric carbon dioxide levels.",
"They found that around 16,000 to 7,500 years ago the carbon dioxide levels in surface water of the oceans southern Atlantic and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean increased signifcantly.",
"The scientists studied the isotope levels in the shells of fossilised plankton like Globigerina bulloides above .",
"This graph shows how dissolved carbon dioxide levels have changed from the ice age (blue dot) to the end of the ice age (red dots).",
"EEP denotes the equatorial Pacific Ocean, SA is the South Atlantic Ocean.",
"The solid lines show a various modern data for carbon dioxide levels found in the the world's oceans .",
"The surface waters at these locations are known to come from water in the deep ocean upwelling.",
"Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are known to have increased at around this time from 185 parts per million but then increased to around 280 parts per million.",
"This, say the scientists, is because the carbon dioxide welling up in water from the deep ocean was being released into the atmosphere.",
"This would have helped to warm the climate and cause the ice trapped on the land in glaciers to melt.",
"Dr Gavin Foster, a reader in geochemistry at the University of Southampton who was a co-author in the study, said the findings could help to explain how the ocean is effecting the climate today.",
"Climate change scientists estimate that the deep oceans have been absorbing much of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by human activity.",
"The above map shows modern annual average carbon dioxide levels in the world's oceans and the locations where the core samples containing the fossilised plankton were obtained that the researchers studied .",
"This has been used to partly explain the 'pause' in global warming that has occured over the past decade.",
"Dr Foster said: 'Just like the way the oceans have stored around 30% of humanity’s fossil fuel emissions over the last 100 years or so, our new data confirms that natural variations in atmospheric CO2 between ice ages and warm interglacials are driven largely by changes in the amount of carbon stored in our oceans.",
"'While our results support a primary role for the Southern Ocean processes in these natural cycles, we don’t yet know the full story and other processes operating in other parts of the ocean, such as the North Pacific, may have an additional role to play.'",
"Dr Katherine Allen, from the department of marine and coastal sciences at Rutgers University in New Jersey, said more work was needed to understand what caused these changes in carbon dioxide in the ocean.",
"She said: 'Somehow, during the descent into the last ice age, the CO2 balance between ocean and atmosphere was tipped in favour of the ocean.",
"After the ice age, CO2 levels rose again, implying that the balance must have tipped back.",
"'These exciting hints regarding ocean–atmosphere carbon exchange raise further questions.",
"'Additional records are now needed to cover the other half of the glacial cycle: the descent into the ice age.'"

"I was upset and sobbing, but they didn’t take any notice, and just kept saying: “It’ll be OK”.’ Miss Deane, who was pregnant with son Hudson, now three months old, was due to fly out of Tunisia after a week away when she was approached on board and told that she had to be examined by medical staff based at Enfidha airport.",
"The women doctors took her blood pressure and checked her bump, before carrying out an intrusive examination in the plane’s front galley.",
"Miss Deane said: ‘They didn’t carry out the examination in any sort of sterile way.",
"‘And I can’t believe we were thrown off the plane as it was obvious I was not in labour.’ She said she was left fearing she would have to stay in Tunisia to give birth.",
"‘How do you get home from Tunisia if you cannot fly?’ Miss Deane said.",
"‘I was thinking, I’m stuck here for at least seven weeks.",
"What about my children? I only had a week’s clothes.’ Ms Deane, 32, had checked she would be okay to fly (boarding pass pictured left) - and even had a note from her doctors showing she was under the 36 week cut off (right) Ms Deane said the experience left her humiliated - but Thomson, which was not operating the flight that day, have refused to take any responsibility .",
"After being taken off the plane last September, Miss Deane, her partner and children Broxon, ten, Alicia, nine, and Garyn, six, then endured a 19-hour ordeal to get home.",
"First they had a lengthy wait for a flight to Newcastle – rather than their preferred destination of Glasgow.",
"As a result they then had to sit on a minibus to get to their home in Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire.",
"NHS advice states that it is normally safe to fly while you are pregnant - but it is the airlines which decide whether or not to let you fly towards the end.",
"British Airways says it restricts travel beyond the end of the 36th week, while people carrying twins or triplet cannot fly beyond the end of the 32nd week.",
"However, the airline does say it would like women to carry a doctors note after the 28th week, confirming due date and the fact it isn't complicated.",
"Easyjet allows mothers to fly until the 35th week, and women carrying twins until the 32nd.",
"RyanAir has the same cut off dates as BA, and asks mothers to carry the letter from 28 weeks - but says it reserves the right to refuse travel from this point if they don't have one.",
"Emirates asks for letter after the 29th week, but has the same cut off dates as BA.",
"Miss Deane said that the family was not offered any vouchers for food or water while they waited for the later flight, and said she ran up a £100 phone bill calling relatives in distress.",
"She added: ‘You go with these big companies because you think they have procedures, but it means nothing.",
"‘It’s crazy. The whole situation shows how you have no rights.",
"We cannot protect ourselves.’ Before flying, Miss Deane had sought the advice of her GP on four occasions, and said she checked with Thomson as instructed by their staff because she was concerned about the timing of the holiday, which she had booked before she was aware she was pregnant.",
"She said she even requested her GP to fax to Thomson’s headquarters documentation permitting her to fly.",
"However, Thomson, whose rules state a woman can fly up to 36 weeks pregnant, has distanced itself from the incident, claiming that the flight was operated by a third party.",
"A spokesman said: ‘We are sorry to hear of Miss Deane’s experience on the return from her holiday in Tunisia.",
"‘On this occasion the flight was not operated by us but by a third party airline.",
"As every airline has its own policy regarding flying during pregnancy we advised Miss Deane to speak directly to this airline prior to travel to avoid any potential issues.",
"‘As we understand Miss Deane has instructed a solicitor, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.'"

"A notorious thief dubbed the 'Worm Burglar' because he crawled on his stomach to avoid infra-red alarm systems has been jailed for four-and-a-half-years.",
"Leigh Cassidy, 47, carried out a string of burglaries across the Greater Manchester area by wriggling along the floor to avoid activating the alarms.",
"During his spree between March 2013 and May last year, he targeted five pubs in Manchester and one in New Mills, Derbyshire, stealing £7,000 from fruit machines and causing £5,840 worth of damage.",
"Leigh Cassidy, 47, from Stockport, carried out a string of burglaries at pubs across the Greater Manchester area by wriggling along the floor (pictured) of each premise to avoid activating the infra-red alarm system .",
"During his spree between March 2013 and May last year, Cassidy (shown in CCTV) targeted five pubs in Manchester and one in Derbyshire, stealing £7,000 from fruit machines and causing £5,840 worth of damage .",
"Among those pubs targeted were The Hinds Head, The Wilfred Wood and The Moor Top in Stockport, The Famous Trevor Arms in Chorlton and The Sidings in Levenshulme, Manchester.",
"Cassidy, of Stockport, was sentenced at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court to four-and-a-half years in prison today after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to burglary.",
"The court heard how he would use his belly to slither along the floors of various pubs to get to the gambling machines.",
"After staking out each pub to assess the alarm system, Cassidy - occasionally with an accomplice - would cover the CCTV cameras of the targeted premises with plastic bags before returning at night.",
"He would then either completely remove windows with a crowbar or smash through so he could enter and wriggle his way across the floor to the fruit machines.",
"He had realised that if he remained below the 'line of sight' of burglar alarm beams that he could remain undetected.",
"Cassidy was eventually caught when police spoke to his girlfriend Cheryl O'Donnell and she admitted he would leave the house carrying a rucksack and tools and return with a large amount of coins.",
"When he poured out £1,000 in coins in front of her, he told her to tell police that 'it was her savings' if they asked about it.",
"Phillip Barnes, prosecuting, said: 'The aim of the burglaries was to target fruit machines, which were typically forced open and emptied of cash.",
"'The burglaries were in the early morning when the public houses themselves were less likely to be occupied and the machines more likely to be full.",
"'In the majority of the cases, although the public areas were empty, the homes above, within the same buildings, were occupied by the landlords or tenants.",
"'The offender or offenders would be seen to be wearing gloves and face coverings of various sorts and carrying bags.",
"'On a number of occasions CCTV cameras were covered with bags in advance.",
"Cassidy (pictured), had already clocked up 181 previous convictions when he carried out the nine raids.",
"He was sentenced at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court to a four-and-a-half year prison sentence today .",
"'The modus operandi involved crawling or sliding through pubs below the 'line of sight' of alarm system beams and then turning machines to shield the thief from the beam picking him up and triggering the alarm.'",
"One pub, the Wilfred Wood, near Stockport, was burgled on three separate occasions.",
"During the first raid on November 11 2013, Cassidy was caught on CCTV climbing a drainpipe and covering the CCTV camera with a plastic bag.",
"The window frame was then removed from the back door and, while an accomplice waited outside, Cassidy crawled around all three fruit machines and broke into them.",
"He also attempted to steal alcohol from behind the bar which set the alarm off at 5.30am.",
"Following an hour in the pub, Cassidy made off with £1,100 and caused £280 of damage.",
"He later targeted the Queens Head in New Mill, Derbyshire, where more than £400 was stolen from a fruit machine.",
"He was later chased by police during his getaway.",
"Mr Barnes said: 'Two males were seen walking to the train station and boarding the train at around 6am, one being this defendant.",
"'The train from New Mills to Manchester was stopped by British Transport Police but Cassidy pulled the emergency cord and managed to escape.",
"'Recovered on the train in a bag was brandy, charity sweets, £21 from the charity box, crisps and around £350 in cash from the fruit machine as well as tools and gloves.'",
"Mr Barnes added that the morning after each burglary Cassidy would deposit large amounts of money into his NatWest bank account in Manchester city centre - via a machine used for counting large quantities of coins and change.",
"The Famous Trevor Arms pub in Chorlton, Greater Manchester (above) was among those targeted by Cassidy .",
"In a statement read to the court, Steven Clough, the landlord of the Wilfred Wood pub, said he felt 'frustrated, angry and victimised'.",
"'I felt helpless that he kept doing this,' he added.",
"Sandra Booth, the landlady of The Sidings in Levenshulme, Manchester, said: 'I'm angry, upset and frustrated.",
"Angry that he feels it is okay to break into our home like this.",
"'We now have extra security and we're so upset the charity box was stolen.",
"This type of crime is the lowest of the low.'",
"In mitigation, defence counsel Paul Bryning said: 'There is no trauma to any victims beyond the inevitable.",
"'Overall there is limited damage and disturbance.",
"Perhaps it is no surprise to learn he has a history of addiction to Class A drugs.",
"The addiction stems from issues from his childhood in the care system.'",
"The court heard how the serial burglar had already clocked up 181 previous convictions.",
"He first got into trouble at the age of 11 and was first locked up at the age of 14.",
"Sentencing Cassidy, the judge Mr Recorder Graham Smith said: 'The burglaries follow a very general and specific pattern.",
"You target the place in the early hours of the morning with relatively sophisticated planning to obscure the CCTV cameras, then either break or remove from the window the glass and slide across the floor to avoid detection.",
"Sandra Booth, landlady of The Sidings in Levenshulme, Manchester (pictured) said she was 'angry, upset and frustrated' that Cassidy had broken into her premises and stolen cash from the fruit machine and charity tin .",
"'You then move the fruit machine to deflect the security beam and take the contents of the machine, and it seems, on other occasions, you have taken items including alcohol, crisps, sweets and small items of cash from charity or staff tips.",
"'You acknowledge that what you have done is completely wrong and you know you will be sent to prison.",
"I do have regard to your difficult childhood which has led to a cycle of behaviour which has been described as \"self-sabotaging\".",
"'I know from experience in this court and outside that it is possible to break free from this behaviour even while in prison and there are signs of encouragement.",
"'Before this period you went for over one year without offending which may not sound a long time but given your background that was significant.",
"'I urge you to take every opportunity available to you to see if you can break free.'",
"Following the sentencing, detective constable Adele Coulter said: 'Thankfully, we received information he had been involved in a burglary using the same tactic and we managed to link him with the remaining crimes.",
"'Cassidy thought he was being clever and was getting away with it but it goes to show that crime does not pay and you will be brought to justice eventually.'"

"But two evangelical Christians are calling on women to mail them their copies of the EL James bestseller in exchange for a free guide explaining how readers can achieve ‘spiritual’ sexual fulfillment instead, by turning to the Bible for guidance.",
"Dr Juli Slattery, 45, from Colorado Springs, and Dannah Gresh, from State College, Pennsylvania, are authors of Pulling Back the Shades: Erotica, Intimacy and the Longings of A Women’s Heart, which is so popular it initially sold out on Amazon.",
"Authors: Evangelical Christians Dr Juli Slattery (left) and Dannah Gresh (right) are calling on women to mail them their Fifty Shades of Grey books in exchange for the free 'spiritual' Bible-based sex guide .",
"In less than two weeks, the authors' team says nearly 350 people have signed up for their ‘Trade your Shades’ promotion that ends on Valentine’s Day - the same day the Fifty Shades of Grey movie hits theaters.",
"Dr Slattery and Mrs Gresh say they wrote their book after realizing that members of their own evangelical community were hooked on the Fifty Shades series.",
"Mrs Gresh - a sexuality educator who refuses to read the novels - says she was horrified to learn that ‘praying grandmas’ and ‘pastors’ wives’ were reading about bondage and the sexual adventures of the fictitious Ana Steele and Christian Grey.",
"‘The Fifty Shades phenomenon has done for women what internet porn did for men: fuel its use and normalize it,’ says Dr Slattery.",
"‘It’s time to add the Bible’s view on sex and intimacy and the spiritual road into meeting a woman’s deepest human needs and wants.’ Success: According to the book's authors, nearly 350 people in less than two weeks have signed up for their ‘Trade your Shades’ promotion that ends on Valentine’s Day .",
"Dr Slattery is a psychologist and a married mother-of-three who read the EL James novels as research before writing Pulling Back the Shades.",
"Although she was appalled by what she read, she says she wasn’t surprised to find she was also aroused.",
"‘I’m a normal person,’ she says.",
"‘Erotica by definition is designed to arouse.",
"‘So there’s no reason that I should have a different reaction than everyone else.’ But Dr Slattery warns against being sucked into a fantasy world - even if you’re a married Christian who sees it as a bit of harmless fun.",
"‘What it does is it teaches you to respond sexually to someone other than your partner,’ she says.",
"‘So just like a woman might say it’s not fair for my husband to compare me to some super airbrushed model he sees in pornographic literature, I would say the same is true when it comes to this sort of erotic fantasy.",
"‘It creates in your mind an appetite for something that’s not real.",
"‘It makes you less satisfied with the partner that you have and the good things that you have within your relationship.’ The other sort of Christian: Both authors were shocked and concerned by the widespread popularity of EL James' BDSM-based novels (pictured) Instead Dr Slattery says their book shows the link between the Bible and the sexual intimacy she believes that God intended us to have.",
"‘In our culture we have this Victorian view of God and of sexuality,’ she says.",
"'That God is good and our sexuality is very earthy and base and dirty.",
"‘That’s not from scripture. It’s really cultural.",
"‘From the time we were little we’ve been taught that our sexuality is somehow wrong and so we separate it from a pursuit of holiness.’ Instead Dr Slattery says married couples can spice up their love lives by exploring new things together, not relying on erotica or porn.",
"‘I think Christians should be the most sexually satisfied people in the world, because they understand God’s design for it,’ she says.",
"Originally published in 2014, the demand for Pulling Back the Shades is so great it’s flown off the shelves.",
"However, Dr Slattery says some evangelical Christians are upset that sex toys, masturbation and oral sex are openly discussed in her book.",
"The psychologist and author, who started a ministry called Authentic Intimacy, says: ‘My job is to answer those kinds of questions on a daily basis.",

"Chef Andrew Wright cheated nearly 200 victims after creating up a fake company which fleeced pensioners out of their life savings .",
"A fraudster who conned more than £1.25 million out of elderly and vulnerable people and then spent five years on the run has finally been brought to justice.",
"When detectives began investigating his dealings in 2009 he fled from Spain, where he co-ran the firm with an accomplice, to Malaysia.",
"The 64-year-old evaded arrest until May last year when he was detained at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam.",
"He had flown into the country for a catering trade show and his name flagged up under a European arrest warrant.",
"Derby Crown Court was told the company CGI, which used a UK address, cold-called elderly and vulnerable people and asked them to invest in fraudulent businesses.",
"They lied about their achievements and prospects for making profits and raked in a total of £1,267,724 through the con.",
"From this huge sum, CGI benefitted £480,000.",
"The conmen made people believe they were speaking to someone from a company based in the UK and not in Spain.",
"Between November 2007 and August 2009, CGI made about 43,000 calls to 12,500 numbers, which equated to about 31 days of time on the phone.",
"But in 2009 the Derbyshire force began investigating the fake firm and both Wright and Hogan fled the country.",
"A European arrest warrant was issued for Wright in April 2012, but it was another two years before he was caught.",
"Arrest warrants are flagged up at passport control and the fraudster was arrested by Dutch border guards after his jet touched down last May.",
"Wright, who contested the warrant, was kept in Dutch custody until being brought over to the UK in August.",
"He admitted conspiring to defraud together with Paul Hogan, who is still on the run, between November 2007 and August 2009, and has been jailed for four years and eight months.",
"Following the case, Detective Constable Rich Foster, of Derbyshire police's economic crime unit, said: 'This was a long, painstaking investigation into a fraud that left nearly 200 victims across the country, including Derbyshire, facing serious financial losses.",
"'Our pursuit of this criminal in a number of countries and over several years proves how seriously we take this kind of offence, and I'm pleased that we have been able to bring one of the ringleaders in this operation to justice.'",
"DC Foster, who was the investigating officer in the case, said in 2009 a restraint order was put on Wright's bank account, which contained thousands of pounds.",
"'So he knew at this point we wanted to speak to him and he fled to Malaysia,' said DC Foster.",
"The officer said the fraud had been devastating to many people.",
"'All the victims were vulnerable - the majority elderly - and some have lost their life savings, their pension schemes or been persuaded to cash in previous investments and shares which were genuine to pay for these fraudulent ones,' said DC Foster.",
"'Others took out bank loans to get the money.'",
"He said that many of the victims felt foolish for having been drawn in by Wright and his accomplice.",
"DC Foster said: 'They very much feel ashamed that they have been persuaded to do this when they should have known better, and embarrassed that they were taken in, but they were professional fraudsters who knew what they were doing and saying.'",
"DC Foster said they had begun the process to extradite Wright's partner in the fraud, Hogan, who was originally from the UK but now believed to be living in Australia.",
"Wright fled Javea, Spain, where he co-ran the firm with an accomplice, to Malaysia .",
"Jailing Wright, of no fixed address but previously of Derbyshire, for four years and eight months, Judge John Burgess said: 'It was a classic boiler room fraud.",
"It was sophisticated. 'The company fell to pieces in 2009, no doubt because authorities in this country were on to you and it became very much more difficult to find customers wanting to invest.",
"You went to Malaysia and worked there.'",
"The judge said that Wright, who previously worked as a chef in Derby, must have taken 'a degree of care' to make sure the authorities did not find him.",
"Judge Burgess said the fact Wright contested the warrant made him take a 'somewhat cynical' view of Wright's expressions of remorse in his letter to the judge.",
"Philip Bown, in mitigation, said that before Wright had been detained last year he had not known that a European arrest warrant had been issued.",
"Mr Bown said: 'He has led a law-abiding and fairly successful life in the food industry - that's where his expertise lies.",
"He has travelled widely and has been employed all over the world and has a hard work ethic.'",
"The lawyer told the court that the fraudulent venture of CGI had been the one blip in his client's hard-working career and that he had been 'seduced by the money'.",
"In his letter to the judge, Wright wrote: 'The more intricate the web around you, the more difficult it is to get out.'"

"Total death rates linked to alcohol have fallen to their lowest level since 2000, the Office for National Statistics said.",
"But there are 'substantial' differences between ages and jobs with those in 'routine occupations' likely to have higher death rates and lose more potential years of working life because of alcohol-related deaths.",
"In 2011, alcohol-related death rates were highest for those in routine occupations such as bar staff, cleaners and labourers, with 29.5 and 12.6 deaths per 100,000 men and women respectively .",
"Those in routine occupations tended to have higher death rates and lose more potential years of working life because of alcohol-related deaths .",
"In 2013 there were 8,416 alcohol-related deaths registered in the UK, equivalent to a rate of 14 deaths per 100,000 people.",
"It is the lowest rate since 2000, when it stood at 13.1 per 100,000.",
"Two thirds of all deaths linked to alcohol were among men.",
"For both sexes, death rates were highest among those aged 60-64 years (45.3 deaths per 100,000 men and 22.4 per 100,000 women).",
"The ONS said that alcohol-related death among men increased steadily across age groups, rising from 0.3 per 100,000 population for those aged 20-24 to a peak of 45.3 per 100,000 for those aged 60-64 years.",
"For women, the lowest death rate was among those aged 20-24 (0.2 per 100,000) and highest was among 60-64 year olds (22.4 per 100,000).",
"Death rates were similar among men and women for those aged 20-24 and 85-89.",
"But in all other age groups, the alcohol-related death rate for men was approximately twice that of women.",
"For those aged 90 years and over, the rate for men was three times higher than that of women.",
"A linked study released today examined how death rates varied between people in differing jobs.",
"The ONS said the latest analysis shows 'substantial socio-economic and gender inequality in alcohol-related deaths among working-age adults'.",
"'Those in routine occupations tended to have higher death rates and lose more potential years of working life because of alcohol-related deaths than those in more advantaged socio-economic classes,' the ONS said.",
"By contrast rates were lowest for those working in higher managerial and professional occupations like doctors, IT strategy and planning professionals and lawyers, with 7.3 deaths per 100,000 men and 5.2 deaths per 100,000 women.",
"'This meant that alcohol-related death rates for those in routine occupations were four times greater for men and two times greater for women, than those in professional roles,' the ONS added.",
"The largest difference between the sexes was among semi-routine occupations, which includes veterinary nurses, traffic wardens and security guards.",
"In this group of workers, the rate was almost three times greater for men than women.",
"In contrast, the higher managerial and professional occupations were the only class without a significant gender difference in the alcohol-related death rates.",
"Elaine Hindal, Chief Executive of alcohol education charity Drinkaware, said: 'It's encouraging to see that alcohol related deaths are at their lowest since 2000.",
"'However it's concerning to see the continued trend of alcohol related deaths disproportionately affecting men and those who work in more manual occupations.",
"'This is particularly worrying because ONS data shows that despite those in higher managerial and professional jobs drinking more, those they employ are more likely to die from alcohol related cause.",
"This may be because those workers are more likely to have poorer overall health and are less likely to seek medical advice at the first sign of symptoms.'"

"From sending mirrors into space to injecting sulphur into the atmosphere, scientists have developed an increasing array of techniques to battle climate change.",
"But this type of ‘climate engineering’ – which involves manipulating the natural processes after emissions have been released – is only a quick and cheap fix, according to a new report.",
"In the long run, such drastic geoengineering measures are 'irrational and irresponsible' and could ultimately damage the planet, a US panel of scientists has said.",
"From aerosols iron fertilisation of the sea (left) to cloud seeding and greening deserts (right), scientists are conjuring up an increasing array of geoengineering techniques to battle climate change.",

"'If society ultimately decides to intervene in Earth's climate, any actions should be informed by a far more substantive body of scientific research, including ethical and social dimensions, than is presently available.'",

"The Washington-based panel urged against 'albedo-modification', which aim to increase the ability of Earth or clouds to reflect incoming sunlight,' saying they 'pose considerable risks and should not be deployed .",
"Such techniques would only temporarily mask the warming effect caused by high CO2 concentrations, and present serious known and possible unknown environmental, social, and political risks, said the report.",
"Afforestation: This technique would irrigate deserts, such as those in Australia and North Africa, to plant millions of trees that could absorb carbon dioxide.",
"Drawback: This vegetation would also draw in sunlight that the deserts currently reflect back into space, and so contribute to global warming.",
"Artificial ocean upwelling: Engineers would use long pipes to pump cold, nutrient-rich water upward to cool ocean-surface waters.",
"Drawback: If this process ever stopped it could cause oceans to rebalance their heat levels and rapidly change the climate.",
"Ocean alkalinisation: This involves heaping lime into the ocean to chemically increase the absorption of carbon dioxide.",
"Drawback: Study suggests it will have of little use in reducing global temperatures.",
"Ocean iron fertilisation: The method involves dumping iron into the oceans to improve the growth of photosynthetic organisms that can absorb carbon dioxide.",

"Drawback: Carbon dioxide would still build up in the atmosphere.",
"Carbon dioxide removal is better understood 'but current technologies would take decades to achieve moderate results and be cost-prohibitive at scales large enough to have a sizeable impact,' it added.",
"'Direct air capture of carbon is an immature technology with only laboratory experiments carried out to date and demonstration projects in progress,' the report said.",

"Smith resigned Monday but has landed an equally cushy job that the Homeland Security Department won't name or explain .",
"What new job in the Homeland Security Department is the ousted No.",
"2 official at the Secret Service doing?",
"Nobody's saying.",
"Alvin 'A.T.' Smith, who ran day-to-day operations at the Secret Service during its most embarrassing scandals, resigned under pressure as deputy director earlier this week.",
"In what appears to be a highly unorthodox employment shuffle, Smith – who earned as much as $183,000 a year – was permitted to take an unspecified job inside the highly regarded Homeland Security Investigations unit in U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.",
"Both agencies are part of the Homeland Security Department.",
"But no one will disclose Smith's new job title, his responsibilities or how much public salary he's earning.",
"It's a mystery whether Smith is investigating cases, shuffling paperwork behind a desk or supervising agents.",
"Smith was among the last senior Secret Service official left unscathed after a shakeup that started with the forced resignation of then-Director Julia Pierson.",
"Four other senior leaders, including the man in charge of protection operations, were ousted last month.",
"Amid the upheaval, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz, and others have criticized Smith, saying he was at the center of bad decisions made in a sequence of Secret Service scandals.",
"But until Monday, when the Secret Service announced his departure in a three-paragraph statement, Smith's job seemed safe.",
"SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS .",
"EMBARRASSING: The Secret Service has weathered a series of security lapses in the past year, including a crazed fence jumper who entered the White House with a knife and a gunman who struck the White House with a rifle; in that case the agency didn't know his shot had hit its mark for four days .",
"OPEN-DOOR POLICY: Omar Gonzalez, 42, scaled the White House's 7-foot fence in September 2014, ran across the White House lawn and entered the building through an open door .",
"The Homeland Security Department won't provide details about his new job.",
"Smith spent 29 years with the Secret Service, including a stint as the head of the agency's investigations division and is nearing retirement.",
"Federal law enforcement officers are forced off the job at 57.",
"Smith did not respond to messages from The Associated Press emailed to him and left with the public affairs office of his new agency.",
"A senior executive with the government, Smith could have been fired for misconduct or poor performance.",
"Unlike lower level government employees, very few rules protect a high-level job, said Carol Bonosaro of the nonprofit Senior Executives Association, a professional group that advocates for top-level government workers.",
"Secret Service Acting Director Joseph Clancy could have transferred Smith within the agency or fired him outright, but Clancy wouldn't have authority to transfer him to another agency within the Homeland Security Department, Bonosaro said.",
"The transfer would have involved approval from top officials within the department, run by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.",
"Johnson last year pledged that 'ethics in government, setting the example and remaining above reproach are essential elements of good leadership.'",
"Johnson has not commented on Smith's departure.",
"LAST LINE OF DEFENSE: The Secret Service is a living, breathing cordon of security around the President of the United States, the Vice President, and other constitutional officers of government .",
"The timing of Smith's departure was curious.",
"He was expected to testify Thursday, alongside Clancy, during a congressional hearing of the House Oversight Committee.",
"Smith and Clancy now aren't testifying, although Clancy is expected to appear at a hearing later.",
"Chaffetz and the committee's top Democrat, Elijah Cummings of Maryland, said Monday they commended the Secret Service for its recent job changes, including transferring Smith.",
"The committee is expected to hear from four former officials who concluded that poor training and management contributed to last year's security missteps, including an incident in which a Texas man armed with a knife scaled a White House fence and ran deep into the executive mansion before being caught.",
"Smith was in charge of day-to-day operations at the time, and during an earlier instance when President Barack Obama was allowed to ride in an elevator with an armed security contractor who had not been properly vetted by the agency.",
"He was new to the job as deputy director when a group of agents were caught up in a prostitution scandal in advance of Obama's arrival at a South American summit in April 2012.",
"Smith isn't the first embattled Homeland Security Department official to quietly transfer amid concerns about his performance.",
"In December 2013, then-acting Inspector General Charles Edwards took another job in the department days before he was scheduled to testify before a Senate subcommittee investigating allegations of wrongdoing within his office.",
"About five months later, Johnson suspended Edwards within hours of the publication of that subcommittee's report that concluded that Edwards was too cozy with senior department officials.",
"Edwards, who was also a senior executive in the department, remains on paid leave."

"Sir Charles told the Home Affairs Select Committee it was not possible to stop all illegal migration.",
"He said: ‘I cannot look this committee in the eye and say I can operate 100 per cent control so 100 per cent of clandestines will not get across the border.’ He confirmed that not a single person arriving by train or coach – some ten million – is so far counted in and out, or checked against criminal watchlists.",

"Mother-of-three Milli Hill, 40, has shared her views on paternity leave in an online column .",
"A mother-of-three has claimed that fathers are as 'useful as t*ts on a bull' following the arrival of a baby because newborns 'don't want dad'.",
"Milli Hill, 40, from Somerset, has stirred up controversy with her comments - written in a column for Best Daily - in response to the news Labour plan to extend paternity leave to four weeks.",
"She writes: 'This time of nurturing a tiny life is mainly (not 'just', but 'mainly'), for mums, and dads who have visions of bonding in this time are likely to end up feeling disappointed, left out and about as useful as t*ts on a bull.'",
"She added: 'Whilst a woman can perform brain surgery or lead a multi-national, I'm afraid to break it to you that there is something a man can't do – and that's be a mother.",
"'As I discovered when I realised that my breast-pump was the worst twenty quid I ever spent: no matter what technology you employ or how good your intent, to a baby this is meaningless.",
"'A small breastfed baby doesn't want a plastic teat and quite often, they don't want dad either.",
"They just want you. 'More time for dads in the early weeks will be largely wasted, because, no matter what breast-pump manufacturers or Westminster policy makers might try to tell you, the so-called \"Paternity Month\" is actually a \"Babymoon\", an epic and life-changing love-in, and it belongs uniquely to mother and child.'",
"Milli's comments sparked a furious reaction on Twitter as parents responded to her views.",
"BeautifulBairns tweeted that Milli was 'utterly wrong' and Phyllida Warmington pointed out: 'I do think a dads presence in the early days in invaluable for practical/emotional support for the mother.'",
"Parenting blogger Tom Briggs, pictured, thinks fathers can play an important role in their child's first days .",
"Katherine Woodbury tweeted: 'My husband and I would have done ANYTHING for more time together.",
"Not all births/PN are straightforward.'",
"Jonathan, 39, a father-of-two, from Hertfordshire, said he was outraged by Milli's comments.",
"He told MailOnline: 'She's made me angry as she generalises and assumes the early days of having a baby are the same for all parents.",
"In fact, childbirth and the days that follow are a unique experience and different for everyone.'",
"Jonathan said that Milli fails to consider how mothers may need the support of their partner if they are recovering from a caesarean section, have other children to attend to, or are simply overwhelmed by becoming a new mother.",
"His own wife had C-sections to deliver both their children and he said she needed him more than ever afterwards.",
"He said she would have struggled if he had not been able to take an extra week holiday following his two-week paternity leave.",
"Fathers argued that they can still bond with their babies with skin-on-skin contact (photo posed by models) Milli's article prompted reaction on social media including this tweet from Katherine Woodbury, left, who said mothers need their partner if a birth was not straightforward, and 'King Of Dads said they were irked, right .",
"He said: 'Particularly after our second child was born, I was needed at home to help look after our two-year-old.",
"'I wanted to be there to get to know my children and to support my wife, even if that just meant making her a cup of tea.'",
"He added he could bond with his newborns by skin-on-skin contact even if he couldn't feed them.",
"Parenting blogger Tom Briggs, who runs the website diaryofthedad.co.uk, agrees.",
"He said: 'I'd say that it's essential that dads are around from birth - although there are things that we obviously can't do, such as breastfeeding, there's lots that we can do to support our partners and, just as importantly, bond with our children.",
"'If you take into consideration the fact that we're already at a disadvantage due to biological reasons, it's even more important that we're about in the first few weeks to bond with them and I don't think she has considered dads' feelings.",
"'The first few weeks of being a parent is certainly not something that's exclusive to mother and child.",
"Parenting is a shared privilege and responsibility from the word go.'",
"Speaking to MailOnline today, Milli said she was sorry if her article had offended parents.",
"She said: 'I'm aware that the article has sparked controversy and I am extremely sorry if I have offended fathers - this was not my intention.",
"'I do wish I had written more about the importance of fathers but the focus of my article was motherhood and the point I wished to make was that, in particular in the early weeks, there is a mother-baby relationship underway which is very intense and special.",
"Milli believes the most important person to a newborn is their mother and the 'babymoon' belongs uniquely to them, meaning fathers can feel left out (file photo) 'Fathers can of course - and do - support mums by taking care of the house, shopping etc and this is fantastic.",
"But the fundamental bonding time that is taking place is largely between mum and baby and I don't think we should be afraid of saying this.",
"'I think that it would be great if dads could have more flexible time off after birth - I understand in Australia for example they can take the paternity leave at any time in the first year which makes a lot more sense.",
"'I'm just not convinced that, if we are saying that dads can only have four weeks off, that weeks two to four are the best time for them to take this leave.'",
"Acknowledging Jonathan's point that mothers may need extra support after a caesarean birth or if they are struggling with post natal depression, or feeling overwhelmed, she said: 'Mothers are still going to struggle if dad has four weeks off and then returns to work.",
"'What is needed for these women - and ALL women - is better support: better preparation for motherhood, better birth experiences, better follow-up from midwives (and this means more midwives) and better support networks around them.'",
"Fathers are especially needed when a couple has more than one child following a new arrival (file photo) Milli wrote her thought-provoking piece in response to Labour leader Ed Miliband's announcement that his party would increase paternity pay to £260-a-week, the equivalent of the minimum wage, so more working fathers can afford to take time off.",
"The father-of-two believes more dads want to play a hands-on role in childcare but are 'frustrated by out-dated laws and entitlements'.",
"Jonathan admits he would have been unlikely to take four weeks paternity leave had it been available when his children were born because it would have meant they had less money coming in.",
"But he thinks it's important fathers have the option.",
"'The choice should be there. Fathers spending more time with their children can only be a good thing,' he said.",
"'Many fathers won't take a month off because of finances and the pressure from colleagues to return to work.",
"We need a cultural change so a father taking a month off after his child is born isn't unusual.'"

"After struggling through years of unwanted PMS-related symptoms herself, including violent mood swings, fatigue, bloating and persistent food cravings, Tania decided to take matters into her own hands and implement a number of lifestyle changes which she hoped would help her to conquer the impact of her monthly cycle.",
"'I asked myself how I could fix this huge problem in my life,' she explained in her PMS Bites video ad.",

"'Dates, cocoa powder, oats; I wanted it to be as healthy as possible.",

"And in addition to the more basic ingredients, which also include pecans and coconut, Tania also created her own special blend of herbs, which she believes will help women to combat any other unwelcome symptoms of PMS.",
"Bad times: Tania explained that, in the lead up to her monthly cycle, she often found herself lusting after fatty foods, such as pizza and ice cream .",
"Dr Jekyll? During the rest of the month, Tania is focused and together (L), however while she is on her period (R), things are very different .",
"All-natural: Tania's PMS Bites use completely natural ingredients, providing a healthy option for anyone who suffers from sugar cravings .",

"Plain Crazy is the original Bite and is described as being 'crafted with premium fair-trade cocoa powder and hearty oats', while Coco-Nutty comes complete with a 'generous sprinkling on fluffy coconut' and All Kinds of Nuts - unsurprisingly - have been rolled in pecans.",

"'It's the first time in many of these leaks that there are really strong allegations not of egregious tax avoidance, but of tax evasion, and that is incredibly serious.",
"'For you to sit there and say, as you are doing, that ‘We couldn't get the money in in the same way as the French and Spanish did’ and ‘We didn't litigate because we wanted to get the money in’ and yet you did worse on the money - it leaves me believing that you are not serving the British taxpayer.'",
"Responding to Ms Hodge's comments, Ms Homer insisted: ‘That is absolutely not the case.’ Some 300 staff, led by three directors, had been sifting through the data supplied by French authorities in 2010 and had traced 3,200 individuals, including 150 ‘most serious’ cases which could be considered for criminal prosecution, 500 which were ‘more serious’ but not likely to meet the criminal threshold and 400-500 which could be pursued for disclosure and settlement.",
"Ms Homer, who was appointed to lead HMRC in 2012, said she believed the authority would have told Government ministers about the data within months of receiving it.",
"‘We are confident we will have told ministers that we were about to receive a big tranche of operational information,’ she said.",
"‘We will have told people, including ministers, I suspect some time in the next few months.’ HMRC had previously told the committee that it hoped to bring about 15 cases to prosecution, but in the event three were passed on to the Crown Prosecution Service, which decided to take just one to court."

"A proud grandfather has shared his granddaughter's incredible progress after undergoing surgery for her cleft palate.",
"Eighteen-month-old Lexi Grace was born in June 2013 with a severe cleft palate and lip.",
"Her grandfather wrote that, although she suffered from discomfort and struggled with feeding, Lexi Grace was still 'a happy baby'.",
"A proud grandfather (pictured) has shared 18-month-old Lexi Grace's incredible progress after undergoing surgery for her severe cleft palate and lip .",
"Cleft lip and palate are caused by abnormal facial development that occurs while the child is still a fetus.",
"The upper lip and roof of the mouth are incompletely formed, causing the gap.",
"It is one of the most common birth defects affecting children in North America, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).",
"After reaching 10 pounds, Lexi Grace underwent a series of four surgeries to begin the process of having the cleft and lip repaired.",
"Her grandfather wrote that, although she suffered from discomfort and struggled with feeding, Lexi Grace was still 'a happy baby' According to 'poppy', as his granddaughter now calls him, the baby had to have 'wires and gears' inserted into her mouth that would begin to mechanically pull the palate together.",
"She would have to wear them for months at a time.",
"Slowly Lexi Grace's appearance began to change, her grandfather wrote on online image community imgur.",
"Then, finally, came time to suture the two sides of the gap together.",
"Cleft lip and palate are caused by abnormal facial development that occurs when the child is still a fetus (pictured is Lexi Grace's ultrasound).",
"The upper lip and roof of the mouth are incompletely formed .",
"This would require surgery inside the baby's 'mouth, on the lip and in her nose'.",

"They look like something from a science fiction film in the Seventies, but these unusual 'sea suites' could be the holiday accommodation of the future.",
"A designer has come up with a concept for egg-like villas which can be used as houseboats, floating lodges and beach houses plopped right on the sand.",
"The 'mini island' concept from Henry Ward was shortlisted in the International Yacht and Aviation Design Awards 2014 and now the designs could become a reality.",
"But even the most basic two-bedroom model with cost from £750,000 ($115,000).",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Henry Ward has put forward plans for mobile pods - houses on the sea that can cater for large groups and families .",
"The Sea Suite series was shortlisted in the International Yacht and Aviation Design Awards 2014 .",
"Even the guest bathroom offers a hot tub, and the decor and design is of a high standard .",
"The floating lodge, with dimensions of 160ft long, by 40ft and 26ft, is enough to recreate a two-bedroom living space with panoramic windows, decking and its own balcony terrace with ocean views.",
"There is even the chance to customise the design with plunge pools and Jacuzzis on the terrace, log fires in the lounge and even skylights for stargazing at night.",
"And if you want to add in an undersea room, you'll need to shell out another £98,000 ($150,000).",
"The luxury space is envisaged as the perfect pod escape on the banks of a river or shores of a lake, or could be bought up as part of a cluster hotel/studio development.",
"Taking the concept a step further, the design team alongside BMT Asia Pacific 'cracked the egg' to create a two-storey version of the original pod, complete with terracotta roof and a deck that encircles the whole design.",
"The loft-style houseboat has stepped mezzanine levels leading up to a master bedroom and even more expansive windows to take in the surrounding views.",
"And each pod can house a private rear terrace, reached from the lounge, study, kitchen, 'snug' and dining areas alongside the bedrooms.",
"The lodge offers luxury accommodation that is sure to appeal to those who love to spend days out at sea .",
"The luxury space is envisaged as easily at home along lake or river side, or a part of a cluster hotel/studio development .",
"The high levels of roof insulation, moderation of temperature from its water setting and potential addition of solar panels to the expansive roof creates a sustainable unit for all climates .",
"Additional cabins provide significant accommodation for families and guests, while a secluded roof deck allows sunbathing or stargazing alike.",
"Ward, 25, said: 'This form maximises internal volume for surface area and creates a series of attractive shapes and spaces, but is also readily transportable to almost any site accessible by sea.",
"'We've just scraped the surface of the design flexibility available, from individual houseboat and lakeland lodge to resort cabin, marina office, beach house, and even art galleries and other novel commercial spaces.'",
"As well as the standard facilities of a normal home, there are added luxuries like a hot tub, circular balcony as well as panoramic viewing .",
"Ward's designs offer a modern and luxury floating space that bring a real feeling of being at one with the ocean, while being safe .",
"You could get used to a view like this on waking every morning in the floating houseboat designed by Henry Ward and partners .",
"Richard Colwill, managing director of BMT Asia Pacific who co-designed the pods added: 'In the same way that an egg provides a flexible base for many recipes, we see countless opportunities in the development of this design for private or commercial use.",
"'The familiar, yet innovate form could be readily deployed along river and coastal sites, and a beach house variant has even been developed.",
"'We look forward to working with individuals and companies on the deployment of our firsts units, and are sure that the variety of applications ultimately created will significantly expand upon our preliminary designs.'",
"A mobile home with a difference!",
"This woulnd't be a bad spot to pitch up and soak in some rays in your beach pod .",
"The designs follow plans to develop a roll-out mini-island that offers your very own personal paradise.",
"Measuring some 33ft by 26ft when deployed, Ward's 'Recreational Island' is a folding, floating platform, which can be stored in the tender bay of a large yacht and opened out when needed.",
"A full programme of Henry Ward's designs can be seen as http://www.henryward-design.com ."

"Are you reading this on your phone?",
"It could well be giving you 'tech neck' - creases developed from constant tablet use.",
"A reported rise in the number of women undergoing non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments - like energy assisted skin tightening and neck Botox - is apparently down to a new phenomenon called ‘phone face'.",
"Aesthetic practitioners believe that the nation’s love of their smart phones is behind the sharp increase in women opting for facial rejuvenation treatments, as patients flock to correct the damage caused by looking down at their devices - often for hours at a time.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Sarah Weiss, 39, (left, before, and, right, after her procedure) felt she looked old beyond her years due to using dating apps like Tinder regularly.",
"She opted for a non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment to beat her so-called 'tech neck' Constant texting, flirting on Tinder, checking Facebook and even playing popular games like Candy Crush have all been attributed to the rise in women seeking rejuvenation treatments to improve the look of their lower face and neck.",
"'We’re inundated with patients turning to non-invasive treatments like Botox and Exilis skin tightening in the hope of correcting the effects of \"phone face\" or mobile overuse,' explains Dr Lamia Eltohamy, a facial rejuvenation expert from Cavendish Clinic & Medispa in London.",
"'Every week we are visited by patients hoping to erase the neck creases they’ve developed as a result of spending so much time on device like iPhones and Kindles.",
"She continued: 'Many of them blame dating apps like Tinder, which some love-struck clients have told us they spend hours a day on.",
"'Our patients know where the lines have come from, but would rather seek treatment than give up using their technology.'",
"Mary Jenson, 59, believes that she developed tech neck after regularly using FaceTime to speak to her daughter (Pictured: left, before and right, after) Experts in the beauty industry claim that Botox smooths out horizontal lines on the neck.",
"When injected into the platysma muscles - the strip of muscles that stand out from the neck when you grimace - it releases the tension and improves how the neck looks; both vertically and along the horizontal lines.",
"Exilis, meanwhile, is a handheld device, which beauticians say boosts and stimulates collagen production - helping skin look more plump and fresh for up to 24 months.",
"It also promises to tighten the skin, making it appear more firm.",
"Two women underwent the 30-minute £300 Exilis skin tightening treatment to beat their neck creases.",
"Exilis is a handheld device, which claims to boost and stimulate collagen production and plump the neck area .",
"Apparently painless, the radiofrequency energy penetrates the skin and promises to offer an instant effect, although the full results can take several weeks to appear.",
"Speaking about the reason why she opted for it, Mary Jenson, 59, from London, explained: 'Just because I’m a bit older people, assume I don’t use technology or have a device like an iPhone, but that’s not the case.",
"'I actually chose to have skin tightening around my jawline after seeing myself on FaceTime, a mobile app used like Skype to video chat.",
"'I use it to talk to my daughter now she has moved abroad, but I was horrified when I saw myself on my iPhone.",
"'Since getting the device, I spend a lot of time texting my family and using social media to stay in touch with them so when I visited the clinic they weren’t surprised by my neck lines and creased skin around and under my jaw.",
"'I had four sessions on my lower face to improve the firmness of the skin and it has improved my self-esteem a lot.'",
"The second lady, Sarah Weiss, 39, from Essex, felt she looked old beyond her years.",
"She said: 'I decided to try it because I felt like I looked older than I was.",
"'I’m always on my phone - especially dating websites like Tinder and Plenty Of Fish as I’m currently single - and I work in an office as a typist, so I look down a lot.",
"'Having this facial rejuvenation treatment has reduced the \"waddle\" I had around my neck and reduced the crows feet around my eyes caused by squinting at my phone or screen.'",
"The clinic believes the rise shows that patients would rather adapt with their technology than lose it altogether.",
"Dr Eltohamy concluded: 'We have patients coming to us now from all over the UK in search of the best treatments for natural looking answers to 21st century problems.",
"'The days of wind tunnel-esque facelifts to lift the skin on the face are long gone and we’ve entered into an age where looking youthful is more desirable than younger.'"
