new york -lrb- cnn -rrb- -- the venerable cbs soap opera `` guiding light '' will go dark in september after 72 years and 16,000 episodes , the network announced wednesday . gina tognoni is one of many performers who have appeared on `` guiding light '' over the years . the daytime drama 's declining viewership led to the decision , according to a cbs spokeswoman . the show , which the guinness book of world records lists as the longest-running television drama , first aired on nbc radio in 1937 as a 15-minute serial , the spokeswoman said . it moved to television on the cbs network in 1952 as 15-minute drama . it later went to 30 minutes , and on november 7 , 1977 , it expanded to one hour and introduced the wealthy spaulding family as foils to the show 's middle-class bauers , who were a mainstay of the show for much of its run . a family were left stunned when they discovered the skeleton on a 60,000-year-old mammoth in their firm 's gravel pit . the almost complete set of pristine fossils were uncovered in may when marty mcewen and his grandson ethan beasley were digging at the family business in texas . after mr mcewen hit a 6ft-long -lrb- 1.8 m -rrb- tusk with an excavator , the pair alerted nearby palaeontologists who carefully removed layers of mud which are millennia old . a family were left stunned when they discovered the skeleton on a 60,000-year-old mammoth in their firm 's gravel pit . perot museum of natural history fossil preparator ron tykoski , excavates a preserved mammoth skeleton found by gravel pit owner wayne mcewen , in ellis county , texas . experts believe the creature 's relatively small size - it would only have been around 9ft -lrb- 2.7 m -rrb- tall - shows it is a female mammoth . tom vance , a palaeontologist from nearby navarro college , texas , believes the animal died after she fell on her left side . remarkably it appears as if the clearly visible skull , ribs and lower jaw have been relatively untouched bar a few missing leg bones . mr vance said : ' i am extremely excited about this outstanding find - it 's very unique for north central texas . the skeleton has been donated the nearby perot museum in texas where it will be examined thoroughly . it is estimated that the skeleton could be between 20,000 and 60,000 years old . it will be transported to a permanent home at the perot museum of nature and science in dallas , texas . the creature 's relatively small size - it would only have been around 9ft -lrb- 2.7 m -rrb- tall - shows it was a female . ` we were very excited to discover the mammoth in our sand pit and realise it was 90 per cent complete , ' mr mcewen said . to protect the precious fossil , the mcewens have chosen not to disclose the excavation site . ` what is so meaningful is to know that this animal walked through our backyard thousands of years ago .

The text is talking about a proposal to turn a Croatian island called Goli Otok into a resort for gay tourists. The article mentions that the island is currently unused and secluded, making it a potential candidate for such a project. However, the proposal has been criticized as potentially homophobic, as it suggests that gay tourists would want to be isolated from the general population. Additionally, the island has a history as a political prison, which some argue makes it an inappropriate location for a resort. | 3,202 |

' ultimately , it seemed that the runners felt a sense of ` peer pressure ' similar to how one might feel if they were running with a human companion . in this experiment , the quadcopters were programmed to follow a set path , which the joggers also followed . however , technology has been developed where a drone could lock onto a pattern on a runner 's shirt in order to track their speed and direction -lrb- shown -rrb- . there were some concerns from the runners , though ; occasionally the quadcopter would deviate from its path , leading them to question their safety . and it also wobbled in the wind , which one runner likened to it having a personality of its own . one also noted that they ` felt a bit awkward with a camera on my head and jogging with a robot . ' but they added : ` i 'm jogging with a robot , and people think it 's rad . ' use of antidepressants was monitored simultaneously through national prescription registers . between 2002 and 2008 , those people living alone were 1.8 times more likely to purchase antidepressants . researchers attributed this discrepancy to a number of reasons . lack of social support was a major risk factor in men and poverty was more likely to affect women . the results come as no surprise to experts in the uk . the researchers think their study could help design flying robots that support joggers , and it could even be used for other sports as well such as cycling , cross-country skiing , rowing or even fun runs . some runners may have dogs as jogging companions now , but will be using robots in the future ? the team hope their research could inspire new ways to perform such activities . in a cycling scenario , the researchers say the drone could create a draft , ` providing a psychological and maybe even physical boost . ' other drones could display encouraging messages to keep motivation high . ` overall , our work aims to inspire other designers to utilise robotic systems to support exertion activities , ' the researchers concluded . ` we know that loneliness is a major factor in depression , ' says consultant psychiatrist dr adrian winbow , at fitzroy square hospital in london . there 's no news yet on when - or if - this technology will be available to the public , though . although britons do not take as many antidepressants as the finnish , numbers are increasing . ` i 'd suggest about one in 20 britons is on antidepressants . a large proportion of those are likely to live on their own , ' he says . impact : lack of social support was a major risk factor in men and poverty was more likely to affect women . although it may seem surprising that those of working age are so prone to depression -- presumably those with jobs have daily interaction with others -- dr winbow points out that the current economic climate has put great pressure on employees . ` if you are lucky enough to have a job , you are probably working longer hours and expectations will be higher , ' he says . ` this stress is hugely alleviated if you have someone at home with whom you can laugh or complain to . marriage brings a decreased risk for all psychiatric problems . ' of course , if you are n't working then this is an extra reason for low moods . so what can you do ? ` join a gym or a group in the evenings to improve your social life , ' dr winbow suggests . ` alternatively get a pet -- they are proven to help with psychological problems . flat-sharing or getting a lodger are also great ways to save money and stay social .

' the study , which was published today by the journal proceedings of the national academy of sciences , does not completely exclude the possibility that neanderthals survived until 35,000 years ago . the problem is that the warm climate on the iberian peninsula quickly degrades a key protein used in so-called radiocarbon dating . the researchers were only able to test bones from two of the 11 known neanderthal sites in spain . they were subjected to a new method called ` ultrafiltration . ' this removes more recent carbon molecules that have contaminated the bones and made them appear younger than they actually are . much older : the study casts doubt on the idea that modern humans and neanderthals co-existed - and possibly even interbred - for millennia . humans living 40,000 years ago in the area around beijing were already genetically distinct from the ancestors of modern europeans , dna analysis has found . an international team of researchers sequenced dna that had been extracted from the leg of an early modern human from tianyuan cave near to the chinese capital . analyses showed that the tianyuan human shared a common origin with the ancestors of many present-day asians and native americans - but had already diverged genetically from ancient europeans . the researchers also found that the proportion of neanderthal and denisovan dna in the early modern human was no higher than in the present day population of this region . researchers with the max planck institute for evolutionary anthropology in leipzig , germany , took nuclear and mitochondrial dna from a 40,000 year old leg bone unearthed at the tianyuan cave in 2003 . study leader svante pääbo said : ` this individual lived during an important evolutionary transition when early modern humans , who shared certain features with earlier forms such as neanderthals , were replacing neanderthals and denisovans . ' such techniques often lead to older . radiocarbon dates , said chris stringer , a senior research fellow at . britain 's natural history museum . ` science moves on and technology moves . on , ' he said . mr stringer , who was not involved in the study , said the new techniques should now be applied to other sites in spain . ` until this is done , there must be a significant question mark over the possible late survival of neanderthals in the region . ' if the remains from the other sites , too , turn out to be older , any encounter between neanderthals and humans would have to have taken place earlier than previously thought , he said . ` evidence from britain , belgium , france , germany and italy is increasingly pointing to a modern human presence before 40,000 years ago , ' said mr stringer . ` the new chronology suggests that any interaction between the last neanderthals and the earliest moderns in europe will similarly move before , rather than after , 40,000 years . ' there is also the chance that neanderthals survived longer in other corners of europe , said rachel e. wood of the australian national university in canberra , a co-author of the study . ` there are some other possible areas that may have also acted as a refuge for the species , such as the caucasus , but the `` young '' radiocarbon dates in these areas have also found to be problematic , ' she said . | travel | the travel writer joins up with the abu dhabi ocean racing team . the volvo ocean race is currently taking on the next stage in brazil . joly was trained by tom daley in tv hit splash !

' in alzheimer 's disease , which affects 500,000 britons , brains are clogged up by a sticky , ` mis-folded ' protein . most scientists are trying to find drugs that break up the toxic protein and clear it from the brain , but the latest study , from scientists funded by the medical research council , tackled the problem in a different way . rather than trying to declog the brain , they looked at how mis-folded proteins damage it . in much the same way as a deck-chair needs to be opened and closed in a certain way , the proteins in our cells have to be folded in a certain way if they are to work properly . research on mice showed that mis-shapen proteins do not directly kill brain cells . instead , cells die because in a misguided attempt to protect themselves , they stop making new proteins -- including some vital for their survival . the researchers showed it was possible . wearing just hiking boots and a hooded parka jacket to protect her from frostbite , annie scours the landscape for the most mesmerising ice formations that glimmer and glisten in the twilight . for the best results , annie often works at sunset which makes the ice appear like precious jewels . winters can be long and harsh in quebec , but annie claims the area 's natural beauty is unrivalled . the ice reflects and refracts the glorious sunsets , which annie has captures here . the ice in this pictures take on a golden appearance in the winter light . ` winter can be long and cold in quebec if you do n't find an activity that you enjoy but its beauty is unrivalled so , for a photographer , it 's heaven , ' says annie .

' | jamie nash, a texas woman whose face was severely burned in a car crash, has married richard wiens, a california man who lost part of his leg in another accident. the couple met in a burn unit where they were recovering. nash, 25, and wiens, 28, exchanged vows in front of family members and friends in fort worth, texas. nash's face was reconstructed using tissue from her forehead, nasal structure, nose, lips and facial skin. they also transplanted underlying muscles and nerves that will allow wiens to have sensation and movement in his face. | 3,202 |

the search for a cure to the common cold came a step closer yesterday -- thanks to the common cod . a unique enzyme found in the arctic species of the fish has the ability to trap the cold virus and stop it in its tracks , scientists claim . they have now adapted the enzyme , called trypsin , into a mouth spray that reduced the spread of the virus in clinical trials by 99 per cent -- effectively curing it . scientists have made a spray using an enzyme found in cod that halved the average number of days that people suffered from the common cold . the unique enzyme found in the arctic species of the fish has the ability to trap the cold virus and stop it in its tracks , scientists claim . the spray works by forming an invisible barrier in the mouth and throat , which stops the virus being taken up by human cells and multiplying . the trials showed that the spray -- made by enzymatica -- also halved the average number of days those who caught a cold had symptoms from 6.5 to three days . dr mats clarsund , head of research and development at enzymatica , said the remedy had been five years in the making , adding : ` it is pretty revolutionary . ` the common cold is a virus which binds to the mucus membranes of the nose , mouth and eyes . it is taken up by human cells and multiplies . ` once someone is infected , the virus moves to the throat area , where the first symptoms are a sore throat around 20 hours after the virus takes hold . ` the spray works because the enzyme forms a temporary , invisible barrier on the membranes preventing the virus being taken up . by . daniel bates . being interrupted is so bad for your concentration that even a one minute distraction is enough to completely wipe your short term memory . a study has found that if you are bothered for 60 seconds while trying to focus on something then you will have to start afresh because you ca n't recall what you were doing . the researchers said that their findings should be a warning to anyone with a smartphone as users check the devices around 125 times a day . a study has found that if you are bothered for 60 seconds while trying to focus on something then you will have to start afresh because you can ¿ t recall what you were doing -lrb- stock image shown -rrb- . people who joke about having the memory of a goldfish may have to think again , after scientists have found fish can remember events for up to a fortnight . canadian researchers trained fish to locate food before removing them from the tank for 12 days . when the fish were later reintroduced , motion-tracking software revealed they could identify the precise location of the food . the study looked at african cichlids , a popular aquarium species which has previously been shown to demonstrate complex behaviours , including aggression . working on the assumption they could be capable of advanced memory tasks , each fish was trained to enter a particular zone of an aquarium to be fed , with each training session lasting twenty minutes . after three days , the fish were given a 12-day rest period . -lrb- cnn -rrb- -- reality show star and white house party-crasher michaele salahi has been asked to leave the television show `` celebrity rehab '' because she does not have an addiction , vh1 said in a statement . salahi 's manager shot back , saying the network knew that all along . they were later reintroduced into their training arena , and their movements recorded with motion-tracking software . and the software revealed the fish returned to the spot where it found food . it shows that humans are more similar to goldfish than they might think as the animals have a memory that lasts just three seconds . the us researchers asked test participants to outline an answer to an exam and then write their response under three conditions . salahi and her husband made news in november 2009 after attending president barack obama 's first state dinner without an invitation . vh1 said tuesday it has canceled her appearance on the show , which chronicles celebrities undergoing treatment for alcohol and drug addictions . `` the treatment program that ` celebrity rehab ' documents is intended for individuals with serious substance abuse and addiction issues , '' vh1 said in a statement tuesday night . `` prior to the taping of the current season , producers were advised that michaele salahi met the criteria to be treated in this setting . however , professional assessments spanning from that time to the present , found that she did not meet such criteria .
