(CNN)You might call her a watchdog, because this Boston area Doberman really has a thing for timepieces. She recently ate three. Last Thursday, Jeff Courcelle came home from work to find 5-year-old Mocha -- a pure bred fawn-colored Doberman pincher -- hovering over a pile of screws, metal pieces, three watch heads and some chewed leather straps. "My husband, who's the most calm person that I know, called me up and said, 'I'm not quite sure if I should panic,' " said Courcelle's wife, Michele Parkinson. The 80-pound Doberman, whom her owners describe as "more goofy than scary," had pulled down a basket of wrist wear from a shelf in their bedroom and eaten nearly all the contents. Parkinson knew that Mocha wouldn't be able to pass all that leather on her own. The couple took her to the MSPCA's Angell Animal Medical Center, a 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital, where a veterinarian performed a 3-hour endoscopy to explore the contents of her belly. Mocha was a repeat offender: Just last summer, she got very sick and had to have emergency stomach surgery after a piece of plastic from an orange juice container perforated her intestine. She had 28 staples down her belly and 10 inches of intestine removed, Parkinson said. Fortunately this time, the jewelry remains were still in Mocha's belly and had not made their way into the digestive tract. The X-ray, however, was disturbing. Parkinson and her husband were just expecting to see a couple metal pieces. "It just looked like a Christmas tree and I almost threw up," Parkinson said. The veterinarian removed "about a pound of leather straps and metal pieces and detritus" during the endoscopy, and let nature take its course for the remaining pieces, MSPCA spokesman Rob Halpin said. As of Friday, Mocha was no worse for wear. The hospital sees dozens of cases each week of dogs ingesting foreign objects, and is trained to look for the symptoms of blockages -- typically lethargy, not eating and vomiting, Halpin said. They once saw a golden retriever who had stopped eating and found 43 pacifiers in her belly. (Apparently she was taking them from babies at the park.) And there was the 100-pound bull mastiff who ate his owner's brie that was set out for a party -- along with the cheese knife. The night Mocha stayed in the hospital, a nervous Parkinson stayed awake reading stories about dogs ingesting watches and other objects. She found one article about a Newfoundland whose owner knew something was awry only when he heard an alarm go off from his dog's belly. "We've taken every imaginable thing that could fit down the gullet of a dog out with surgery," Halpin said. "There's some evolutionary traits that some dogs have that lead them to eat first and think later ... and some of them are so food motivated that anything with a scent could be associated with food, and they go for it." Mocha likes to suck on fleece blankets and has been known to eat rubber ear buds or hair elastics, but nothing like a pile of jewelry, Parkinson said. Her breeder wondered if the dog was acting out of anxiety. That day, Parkinson had left Mocha in a different apartment the couple owns that the dog wasn't as used to. The breeder told Parkinson that Dobermans are particularly known to get anxious and do these sort of things. "She had a dog that actually consumed her whole dog bed," Parkinson said. From now on, Parkinson said she will put Mocha in a crate if the dog will be staying somewhere new. Follow-up X-rays Monday on Mocha showed a few pieces of metal left, "but they were moving along" and the vet expected her to pass them naturally. Parkinson said Friday Mocha was "her playful, energetic, curious Doberman self." But now that she thinks of it, the timing of this whole incident is a little suspicious. "My husband was all excited about the new Apple watch, but couldn't justify a reason to purchase it since he owned three watches," she said. "I am convinced that he and Mocha joined forces here to destroy all of his current watches in order to make room for Apple's new watch."

(CNN)The much-discussed trailer for "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" just got a makeover. Soon after the trailer went up late on Friday, YouTuber Bobby Burns got to work on doing his own version using classic superhero footage. Instead of Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill facing off, this version wonders what it would be like if comics' classic characters Adam West and Christopher Reeve took their places. CNN spoke to 18-year-old Burns about what motivated him to make his now-viral video. (Warner Bros. Pictures, the studio behind "Batman v. Superman," is owned by Time Warner, as is CNN.) CNN: When did you start making YouTube videos like this? Burns: At age 11. I work for the Made In Network in Nashville, Tennessee. CNN: Where did this idea come from? Burns: I'm pretty hyped for "Batman v. Superman." As soon as I saw the trailer, my brain immediately went to the classic "Batman" [TV series] and I thought how funny it would be if this film was made at the time. CNN: What were you looking to accomplish? Burns: I wanted to contrast the old with the new. CNN: What kind of reaction have you received? Burns: Within an hour of the trailer going up, I went to work on the edit. Within four hours, my edit was finished and up on the Internet. The reaction has been great! It's awesome to see so many people enjoying what I made. Take a look at the fan trailer below: .

(CNN)"Star Wars" is once again back in our lives, the Burger-King couple helped us believe love can be found in fast food, and Mindy Kaling's brother had a shocking announcement. Those are just a few of the stories that trended this week. 1. 'Star Wars' streaming . The Force is with the streaming device of your choice, thanks to this week's surprise announcement that the entire "Star Wars" saga (so far, anyway) would be released on digital HD at the end of the week. Between this and the release of "Daredevil," we imagine lots of nerds called in sick on Friday. 2. Mindy Kaling's brother: I faked being black to get into medical school . Actress Mindy Kaling's brother says that he posed as a black man years ago to get into medical school and that the experience opened his eyes to what he calls the hypocrisy of affirmative action. Among those who disapprove of the book he's planning to write about the whole thing: his sister. 3. Farewell, Rosco . "Dukes of Hazzard" fans mourned the loss of actor James Best, best known as Hazzard County's hapless sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, this week. Others who passed on: "L.A. Law" actor Richard Dysart and frequent Clint Eastwood co-star Geoffrey Lewis. 4. When Burger met King, it was love . Joel Burger is set to marry Ashley King in July, and when fast food giant Burger King got wind of the nuptials, the couple scored a free wedding. 5. Michelle Obama broke it down (again) The first lady's Let's Move campaign has featured her dancing on more than one occasion, but she brought the (White) House down on Monday with the "So You Think You Can Dance" all-stars during the Easter egg roll. 6. "The Vampire Diaries" crisis . Not since Zayn Malik announced that he was quitting One Direction has Twitter had such a meltdown: "Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev is leaving the CW series. "Nothing will be the same again," one fan tweeted. Other things we loved: . More than 10 million people have seen Anne Hathaway's take on Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball," complete with props, from Spike's hit show "Lip Sync Battle." Go, greased lightning! "Late Late Show" host and Tony winner James Corden put on "Grease" for Los Angeles drivers waiting in traffic. The cast of the movie "Suicide Squad," including Will Smith and Margot Robbie, assembled for the first time this week in a Twitter photo from director David Ayer. And no worries, future Joker Jared Leto was taking the photo (in an image inspired by classic comic book "The Killing Joke"). The comments are the whole reason to read this "Humans of New York" post on a woman named Beyonce.

(CNN)In 2001, the Taliban wiped out 1700 years of history in a matter of seconds, by blowing up ancient Buddha statues in central Afghanistan with dynamite. They proceeded to do so after an attempt at bringing down the 175-foot tall sculptures with anti-aircraft artillery had failed. Sadly, the event was just the first in a series of atrocities that have robbed the world of some of its most prized cultural heritage. But historical architecture is also under threat from calamities which might well escape our control, such as earthquakes and climate change. The thought of losing a piece of our collective history is a bleak one. But if loss can't be avoided, technology can lend a hand. Now CyArk, a non-profit company founded by an Iraqi-born engineer, is using groundbreaking laser scanning to ensure that -- at the very least -- incredibly accurate digital versions of the world's treasures will stay with us forever. Ben Kacyra was born in Mosul, Iraq, in 1940. He moved to the United States in 1964, and in the 1990s he was instrumental in the design of the first portable laser scanner. He founded CyArk, a company that specializes in digital preservation of threatened ancient and historical architecture, in 2003. "Two events happened that really influenced me and my wife," he told CNN's Nick Glass, "The Taliban blew up the Buddhas and an earthquake happened in Bam, in Iran. "It demolished a whole mud city. So we looked at each other and we said, you know, sometimes you can't prevent an earthquake, obviously, and it's very expensive to go back and rebuild, but if it had been scanned, our children and grandchildren would get the opportunity to come back and learn the history of that place." Since then, Kacyra has been doing exactly that: in a 2011 TED talk he explained his quest to preserve our "collective treasure", and he has a plan to scan 500 World Heritage sites in five years. So far, the list of completed scans includes Ancient Thebes, Chichen Itza, Fort Laramie, Mesa Verde, Mount Rushmore, Petra, Pompeii, Rapa Nui, the Sydney Opera House, Tikal, and his native Mosul. The idea is not just to protect endangered structures, but to offer free educational access to the digital recreations of important monuments via the web. "We have that data, and if something -- God forbid -- happens to these, the data is there," says Kacyra. In fact, current events have already caught up with the project: the Royal Tombs of Kasubi, in Uganda, were destroyed in 2010 by suspected arson. CyArk had mapped them a year earlier, and that could lead to the reconstruction of what was lost. "I'm constantly looking at what's happening in Iraq and Syria. "I'm so glad that we had already started and developed the tools that allowed us to go and be proactive to capture some of these things before these very unfortunate events." To scan the surroundings, CyArk uses a portable, eye-safe laser device based on a technology called Lidar -- a portmanteau of the words light and radar. It accurately maps a physical area much like a radar, but using lasers instead of radio waves. "We have a very powerful laser that sends a beam of light pulsing 50,000 times per second," explains Kacyra, "which means that it's collecting 50,000 points of everything that's in front it as it pulses up and down and in a circular fashion, generating the geometry of everything that's in the space around it." In other words, "We gave the world a 3D laser scanner that has revolutionized how reality is captured." Although its focus is in providing open access to cultural heritage, CyArk is also attracting interest for alternative uses of the technology. "We are discovering applications way beyond what we had anticipated," says Kacyra. "For example, the Highway Patrol wants to use it in accident reconstruction on the road or in crime scene investigations. Where did the bullets go, trajectories and all that - this gives you the entire thing in minutes and then you can do all the analysis work." Not even Hollywood is immune from the allure of laser scanning. "Imagine it going all the way to art, the movies, movie sets. My wife got really excited about the first use in the movie field." Before founding CyArk, Kacyra had developed a similar technology called Cyrax, which he then subsequently sold. This technology was first used during the production of the 1997 sci-fi cult movie Starship Troopers, to scan an underground cave. "They found out it was going to cost too much money to measure the cave so they could model it, something like half a million dollars and six weeks. "They had heard about our scanning system so we went there. I think we did it for 20,000 dollars, and in a day or two, and it got used in a movie for the first time. "It's ubiquitous now in the movie industry for virtual sets."

Hong Kong (CNN)Six people were hurt after an explosion at a controversial chemical plant in China's southeastern Fujian province sparked a huge fire, provincial authorities told state media. The plant, located in Zhangzhou city, produces paraxylene (PX), a reportedly carcinogenic chemical used in the production of polyester films and fabrics. The blast occurred at an oil storage facility Monday night after an oil leak, though local media has not reported any toxic chemical spill. Five out of six people were injured by broken glass and have been sent to the hospital for treatment, Xinhua news agency reported. More than 600 firefighters were sent to battle the blaze and the fire is now under control, the Zhangzhou fire department wrote on their official microblogging account Tuesday morning. Residents living close to the plant had heard the explosion and took to Weibo to post photos of the fire. One user wrote that he heard a loud blast and felt slight tremors. The plant was hit by another explosion in July 2013, although there were no reports of casualties or toxic leaks at the time. Though demonstrations are illegal in China, the construction of PX plants has sparked protests, which have occasionally turned violent, in several cities in recent years. The Zhangzhou plant was slated for Xiamen -- a densely populated city in the southeast of the country. However, it provoked an angry backlash in 2007 due to pollution concerns and prompted the local government to relocate the factory to its current, more remote location.

(CNN)UltraHaptics is a young company with a big dream: changing the way we interact with electronic devices. Their technology creates tactile three-dimensional shapes literally out of thin air, using ultrasound. The company's tagline says it all: "Feeling without touching." Through an emission of sound waves, sensations are projected through the air and to the user. Changes in air pressure are perceived as suspended tactile surfaces, creating invisible -- but tangible -- interfaces. This already sounds quite intriguing, but paired with another rising technology it has the potential to become a game changer. The rising tide of virtual reality seems unstoppable: Facebook's Oculus Rift and Magic Leap are leading the pack, but several other companies are readying devices in a field that could shake the foundations of electronic entertainment. But even though it is incredibly convincing, virtual reality completely bypasses the sense of touch: applying UltraHaptics' technology to it would allow users to not just see the virtual world projected in front of their eyes, but to touch it as well. Tom Carter, UltraHaptics' CTO, sees potential in the merging of these technologies: "The ability to put on your virtual reality goggles and not just explore visually and through your headphones, but also touch what you can see, is a really exciting possibility," he told CNN's Nick Glass. Creating buttons and shapes literally anywhere they're needed opens up a slew of possibilities for more traditional devices as well. "Imagine the dashboard of a car having no buttons, no switches, no ugly controls: just a very nice, sleek dashboard. "If you're driving and you want to have the music up for example, you don't have to take your eyes off the road, you just hold your hand out and the controls stick to your hand, so you can feel them." Smartphones and other popular devices could also see benefits: controlling appliances in the kitchen, using TVs and computers in a style reminiscent of the movie "Minority report", or even snoozing the alarm in the morning would all become just a matter of waving your hands. (This probably wouldn't be the most virtuous application of the technology.) Several devices can already be controlled with gestures, but UltraHaptics add an extra layer of feedback, by generating the sensation of a force field: "Haptics is more than just the sense of touch. It's really all of the information that you get from the sense of touch. What you're feeling, what sort of pressure, the tactile sensation given by an object or surface. You also know where your limbs are and how they're moving, all from the sense of touch. It's all this information that cues how you're interacting with the world," Carter said. To create their invisible buttons, UltraHaptics use a small collection of ultrasonic speakers, concentrating the sound waves to a specific point. Sound travels through air by creating a pressure differential, so by focusing several of these differentials to a target location, the result is a single localized spot of high pressure. "If you put your hand in the way, it actually emits enough of a force on your hand to slightly displace your skin. "We use that and control it to vibrate your skin, and give you this feeling. What you eventually get is a sensation of vibration on your hands," Carter explained. With the current prototype, the smallest point that can be created is 8.5 millimeters in diameter, but the shape can be morphed into a surface, creating different textures over a single "object" by differentiating the pressure levels. Other companies are working on similar projects, such as Elliptic Labs, and the interest around the technology already appears to be strong. UltraHaptics, who have already built several prototypes and have demoed the technology to the public at the last CES in Las Vegas, say they are working with 15 to 20 clients who are looking to incorporate tactile ultrasound into their products. "We have everything from consumer electronics companies making things like speakers, radios, alarm clocks, through home appliance companies making cooker hoods, washing machines, to virtual reality in gaming companies. And we were very surprised at how keen the automotive industry is to work with us," Carter said. "I'd like to believe that the first product featuring our technology will be on the shelves in a year, that's our aim." Read more from Make, Create, Innovate: .

(CNN)Thousands sought refuge in temporary shelters in South Africa after mobs with machetes attacked immigrants in Durban, leaving at least five people dead, an aid group said Thursday. Heavily armed police have scrambled to stop clashes this week after local residents accused immigrants from other African nations of taking their jobs. The attacks in Durban killed two immigrants and three South Africans, including a 14-year-old boy, authorities said. "There has been an outpouring of support from ordinary South Africans who are disgusted with the attacks not only because they are foreign, or African, but because they are fellow human beings," said Gift of the Givers charity, which is helping those seeking refuge. "We are preparing aid packages for those who may journey onwards to their home countries." The charity said about 8,500 people fled to refugee centers or police stations this week because of the violence. That doesn't count anyone who fled their homes to other, private accommodations, the group said. It said it hopes the violence is limited to Durban, but assured immigrants that it has a facility in Johannesburg to help those who might need shelter there. "We have tents and all essential supplies on standby but pray that sanity prevails and this does not become necessary," it said. In the past, Johannesburg has been the epicenter of anti-immigrant tensions. In 2008, scores were killed in attacks in the poorest areas of Johannesburg. Most of the victims were Zimbabweans who had fled repression and dire economic circumstances. In that attack, police arrested more than 200 people for various crimes including rape, murder, robbery and theft.

(CNN)Recently, a New York judge issued an opinion authorizing service of divorce papers on a husband completely via Facebook. What exactly is "service of process"? Serving people with legal papers is an industry and its own body of law premised on one guiding principle: if you are going to sue someone, you should at least let them know about it. Sounds simple, right? In theory it is. In practice, it turns out people don't like being sued. It also turns out that, to many defendants, procrastination of a lawsuit is a viable defense. Just as you may avoid bad news in life, defendants tend to avoid process servers. Once a defendant has been served, that means the judicial proceedings begin. Unfortunately, that means defendants have an incentive to go "off the grid". Although every state is different, the law of service of process has evolved this way: the ideal and fairest way to notify a person of a lawsuit is to have another human hand the papers to the defendant in person, and have some proof that the person was the defendant. In-person service is not always possible, for obvious reasons. So, the law had to develop methods of alternate service, but carefully balance a defendant's right to have notice of a lawsuit, against a diligent plaintiff's access to court if a defendant is avoiding the inevitable. As reliable as the U.S. mail is, regular mail is not a reliable form of serving papers. Not because the postmen can't be trusted; they can. Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, will keep them from delivering those papers. Instead, it's defendants -- no wait, all of humanity -- that can't be trusted. Every one of us has ignored mail or even pretended we didn't get it. Defendants are no different. One form of alternate service is "nail and mail" service. This means that you take a hammer and nail, and nail the papers to the defendant's front door. The problem with that is that many defendants are nomadic by nature. Just because you find a house that a defendant stayed at, doesn't mean he'll be back there anytime soon. Another, even odder form of "service" is service by publication. This is an almost laughable legal fiction. If you can't find a defendant, a judge might let you serve by publication. That means that a plaintiff can take out an ad in five point font for a week in an obscure publication, on the off chance you are reading the classified ads of the Secaucus Law Journal looking for lawsuits against you. As laughable as serving someone by tweeting it sounds, it's at least more rational than this antiquated method. At first blush, the idea of service by Facebook seems to offend traditional notions of ensuring notification of a defendant of a case against him. When it comes to serving papers, however, "traditional" doesn't necessarily mean "good." Service by publication or nailing paper to the door of an empty apartment is hardly reliable; it's just service of last resort. For those people who are concerned that being served papers will become a Facebook announcement in a news feed, along with the photos of dinner or kittens, to be "liked" by all your gawking "friends," we're not quite there ... yet. While the older forms of alternate service were public, most electronic service takes the form of email. Where email isn't available, it is Facebook private messaging, which should be as private as email. That's the form of service authorized by the court here. So for now, we're not quite putting lawsuits on Instagram ... but I wouldn't rule it out in the future. Online service may be a new frontier, but it's not unheard of. Most of us exist more online now than we "live" in a particular condo, or Mom's basement. Virtually everyone has a phone or access to the Internet. Not everyone has a lease or a mortgage. Plus, online service has the added benefit of tracking. Believe me, somewhere, some computer has already logged the fact that you read this article, how long you read it, and even how far down you scrolled before you got bored and bailed on the article (thanks for still being here, by the way). In a way, maybe online service is long overdue. You can outrun a process server for a while, but sooner or later, all of us have to go back online -- and no human can outrun an email.

(CNN)Two Delaware boys are in a coma and their father still is unable to talk or move two weeks after they became sick -- perhaps from pesticide exposure, federal officials say -- during a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands, their lawyer said Saturday. Steve Esmond, his teenage sons and the teens' mother fell ill more than two weeks ago in St. John, where they were renting a villa at the Sirenusa resort. The family was airlifted to hospitals in the United States. The boys, 16 and 14, were in critical condition at a Philadelphia hospital on Saturday, the family's lawyer, James Maron of Delaware, said. "The boys are in rough shape," Maron said. "The family are all fighters," he added. "They're fighting for everything right now. I understand it's a long recovery." Esmond, also being treated at a hospital, is conscious but cannot move, Maron said. The teens' mother, Theresa Devine, was treated at a hospital but released, and is now in occupational therapy, Maron said. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Friday that the presence of a pesticide at the rented villa in St. John may have caused the illnesses, which were reported to the EPA on March 20. Paramedics were called to the villa, which the family began had been renting since March 14. Esmond was found unconscious; the boys and their mother were having seizures, Maron said. The lawyer did not say who called the paramedics. Elias Rodriguez, an EPA spokesman, said the agency's preliminary test results "do show that there was a presence of methyl bromide in the unit where the family was staying." Exposure to methyl bromide can result in serious health effects, including central nervous system and respiratory system damage, according to the EPA. The use of the pesticide is restricted in the United States because of its acute toxicity. It's not allowed to be used indoors. Only certified professionals are permitted to use it in certain agricultural settings. "It's an ongoing investigation; we're still on the island doing our assessment," Rodriguez said. "We have been doing different types of air sampling and wipe sampling." Final test results were expected next week. The EPA said it is working with local government agencies to investigate whether the family was made ill after a fumigation at the resort on March 18 and whether any environmental regulations or laws were violated. Maron, the family's attorney, declined to comment on the investigation. Depending on the season, the luxury villa where the family stayed rents between $550 and $1,200 per night. Sea Glass Vacations, which acts as a rental agent for several units at Sirenusa, said the unit directly below the one where the family stayed was recently treated for pests, but their unit was not treated. The company said it licensed an outside company, Terminix, for the pest control services. "Sea Glass Vacations does not treat the units it manages for pests but instead relies on licensed professionals for pest control services," the company said in a statement. The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a criminal investigation into the matter, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing made Monday by ServiceMaster Global Holdings, the parent company of Terminix. In an email to CNN, a spokesman for Terminix wrote that the company is "committed to performing all work ... in a manner that is safe for our customers, employees, the public and the environment" and is "looking into this matter internally, and cooperating with authorities." "We're thinking about the family, and we join the community in wishing them a speedy recovery," Terminix wrote. The SEC filing described the injuries to the family members as "serious."

(CNN)Thinking about presidential candidates? Apparently, hormones are a major factor one should consider. According to one female businesswoman in Texas, Hillary Clinton shouldn't be president because her hormones might make her so irrational she'll start an unnecessary war. When George W. Bush waged an unnecessary war in Iraq -- was his testosterone to blame? As Cheryl Rios, the CEO of Go Ape Marketing, sees it: "We're built differently, we have different hormones. In the world that we live in, I understand that there's equal rights and that's a wonderful thing and I support all of that. I don't support a woman being president." "With the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war," Rios wrote in a Facebook post. If Rios is concerned about hormones impacting decisions in the Oval Office, she'd be better off worrying about the male candidates for president. Throughout history, male hormones have indeed impaired some male leaders' decision-making. Studies show that women leaders take fewer unnecessary risks than their male counterparts. If science doesn't convince you, just Google "cheating politicians" for the long and sordid list of men like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark Sanford and John Edwards, whose hormones got the best of them. Rios has taken a lot of flak for her "biblically" inspired beliefs, but she's not the only one who's arguing that a woman's hormones are a legitimate leadership concern. Time magazine declared Hillary Clinton the "perfect" age to be president, because she's a postmenopausal woman who is "biologically primed" to lead. (She also happens to be a former first lady, senator and secretary of state.) I'm not joking. Believe me, I wish I were. No wonder Jon Stewart left "The Daily Show" before the election cycle ramps up in full swing. If discussions about a candidate's hormones are what we have to look forward to, the state of presidential politics is depressing indeed. But underneath the biochemistry debate is a much scarier consideration: The bias against women in the workplace is so well established that even in 2015, a female candidate will be hard-pressed to get elected unless we have a serious discussion about ending gender bias. We want to believe that we live in a world where our daughters can do anything and be anything. And you'd think they could -- they outnumber boys in college, graduate school and the work force. But what will limit their potential is not biochemistry or ability, but a bias in how women and girls are viewed. Unfortunately, Cheryl Rios' view of women is not unique. Some people believe women have "our place" and that place is not at the table. They'll tell your daughter to "go for it" but believe she isn't qualified to fulfill her dreams. In a compelling series about women and work, Wharton School professor Adam Grant and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg lay out the startling facts about the bias women face at work and the profound benefit of eradicating gender stereotypes. The evidence of bias is undeniable and the examples are endless. It's overt: There are more men on corporate boards named John, Robert, William or James than there are women on boards altogether. The bias is also covert: When students rate their favorite professors, they describe the men as "geniuses" and the women as "nice." The bias is real, yet so many of us are blind to it. Hillary Clinton might not be the perfect candidate, but the fact that she is a woman will make her road to the White House a much steeper climb. That's not just a problem for Democrats -- it's a problem for Republicans, Independents, everyone. The fact is, equality benefits everyone. It's better for the bottom line (companies with more women in leadership roles make more money). It's great for kids because children with involved fathers are happier, healthier, and more successful. It's great for marriages because couples that share responsibilities have stronger marriages. And it's great for corporate teams because diverse teams and companies produce better results. Our nation, our economy and our families would be much stronger if half of our companies were run by women and half of our households were run by men. It's not enough to say to our daughters: "You can be anything you want to be." What we need to say is: "You can be anything you want to be, despite what some people might think -- and what they think is wrong." Rios said that if Clinton is elected, she is "moving to Canada" because "a female shouldn't be president." Apparently Rios knows as much about women and leadership as she knows about Canada: Kim Campbell became the country's first female prime minister in 1993. Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Canadians elected their first female prime minister, Kim Campbell.

Hong Kong (CNN)An impressive art collection assembled by the late actress and Hollywood icon, Lauren Bacall, has officially been offered for purchase. The collection, which includes works by some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, went under the hammer in New York on March 31, following a tour of Hong Kong, Paris, London and Los Angeles. Bacall, who died in August 2014 at the age of 89, first shot to international fame in 1944 with her first film, "To Have And Have Not." That was also when the husky-voiced starlet met her future husband, Humphrey Bogart. At the recent 2015 Golden Globes, George Clooney paid tribute to the silver screen queen in his award winning speech. "I don't remember what awards Lauren Bacall won, I just remember her saying: 'You know how to whistle, don't you Steve. You just put your lips together and blow.'" said Clooney, referring to one of her most legendary lines from her first movie. The 750-piece collection, which fetched a total of $3.64 million, featured bronze sculptures, jewelry, and a number of decorative arts and paintings, which were sold at Bonhams auction house in New York. "Her collection is truly a reflection of her extraordinary taste and remarkable life," said Jon King, Bonhams' vice president. Among the 50 items highlighted in the auction preview were six bronze maquettes by Henry Moore, Britain's greatest 20th century sculptor and one of Bacall's favorite artists, whom she developed a close relationship with. One of them sold for close to $120,000. Also for sale were some of Bacall's most loved jewelry pieces, created by legendary French designer Jean Schlumberger, most known for his work at Tiffany & Co. A rose diamond camel brooch by British jeweler Elizabeth Gage fetched $23,750 and was accompanied by the original drawing and correspondence from the designer, which shows the close-knit relationship Bacall had with Gage. The wide-ranging collection was expected to appeal to a variety of collectors: fine arts and antiques dealers, fans of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, as well as memorabilia enthusiasts. Most of the items auctioned come from the apartment in New York's Dakota Building that she shared with her second husband, actor Jason Robards, until 1969. But King said fans of Humphrey Bogart would have been pleased to know some of the items were also from their shared residence in Los Angeles. King, who got to know Bacall in her late years, said the collection reflects the actress' eclectic taste, and there was only one principle she applied to collecting: . "Everything had to kind of speak to her, to catch her eye. She loved form, she loved texture, she loved color. And she loved mixing it all up. She said that when you walked into her house, what she liked was that it was never boring," King said. "You could walk into the same room a hundred times, and see something new every time."

The morning after the row the night before, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg barely exchanged a word in the first-class cabin of their Emirates flight to Dubai, en route to the next race in Bahrain. If the two Mercedes drivers are not quite on non-speaking terms, they are communicating only when they have to. While they kept quiet among themselves, both had a further say in public about the dispute that broke out after the Chinese Grand Prix. Hamilton was particularly strident saying that the difference is that he is a ‘racer’ and Rosberg is not. Lewis Hamilton (right) and Nico Rosberg have both had their say on Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix . Winner Hamilton (centre) waves to the crowd as Rosberg (left) and Sebastian Vettel shake hands . Briefly, the bones of the argument are these. Rosberg, who was beaten into second place by Hamilton, said his team-mate had been ‘selfish’ by slowing down while leading the race. It caused him (Rosberg) to be bunched up closer to the attacking Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel, whom he feared could overhaul him. Vettel did not manage to do so and finished third. The verbal spat played out at the press conference as the two protagonists sat side by side. Rosberg fumed. Hamilton smiled, seemingly happy to have riled his title rival. But it can now be revealed what happened after they finished their subsequent round of interviews in the Shanghai paddock on Sunday night. Both went through their usual engineering debriefs before being brought in one by one to meet senior Mercedes management including Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe, team principal and technical director respectively. Hamilton went in first and was in conversation with his bosses for half an hour. Rosberg for 20 minutes, now in a room illuminated by lights as darkness crept in outside. Then, more than two hours after the race had finished, Wolff was happy the team had got their story straight enough to speak to journalists. It was now 90 minutes after his scheduled press conference. Rosberg (left) was clearly angry with Hamilton in Sunday's press conference and hit out at his team-mate . The British driver (right) denied he had done anything wrong following Rosberg's accusations . Hamilton (right) backed his corner when it was claimed that he had scuppered his team-mate's race . He declared the talks ‘positive’ and cleared both his drivers of wrongdoing. Hamilton then spoke to the press under an embargo that mean his words have not appeared until now. ‘Nico didn’t try,’ he said with passion, often repeating his words for emphasis. ‘Nico didn’t try. ‘They said maybe he was just comfortable in second place and I said, “Well that’s the difference between us. I want to win always.” ‘And I would have done everything to get past today. Or at least pushed for three laps. He wasn’t quick enough. ‘This is motor racing, man. Racing. Don’t take away the fun of the racing. It’s racing. I wouldn’t have sat back two seconds to make it to the end of the stint. ‘I don’t even know what Nico’s point is. Where we are is that I just won the race today. I did the best job I could possibly have done and the team got a one-two.’ Hamilton’s explanation for slowing down is that he was running his own race and conserving his tyres as best suited him. No neutral I have spoken to within Formula One disputes the world champion’s rationale. Hamilton (centre) celebrates his win with the Mercedes team, but Rosberg (right) appears less pleased . Hamilton crosses the line to claim his second win of the season and his fourth in China . ‘Ultimately this is Formula One,’ added Hamilton. ‘I want the guy to be up my a*** if he’s got the pace to be up my a***, and putting pressure on me. And if I can’t defend it, I lose, like in Bahrain last year. I wasn’t quick enough and I did everything I could to stay ahead. And that was the greatest race ever.’ The greatest race of this young century, certainly. Both drivers are now spending a few days in Dubai before travelling to Bahrain for this year’s race on Sunday. Before leaving, and without knowing what Hamilton had said, Rosberg offered his considered version of events through his customary post-race video, on which he answered fans’ questions. One asked if he was ‘crying’ – by which the questioner meant moaning or being a poor loser. Rosberg said: ‘You say that I was crying. OK, I respect your opinion, and I’ll keep it in mind and I’ll try to show respect when it’s due going forward.’ Hamilton in front of team-mate Rosberg during Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai . Rosberg (right) speaks with Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff in Shanghai during the weekend . But why did he not push to pass Hamilton? ‘It might not be so easy to understand from the outside,’ said the German. ‘But the reason is, I did try to attack Lewis in the first stint, and it just didn’t work. All I did was destroy my tyres. ‘So in the second stint there was no point to do that again. I would have completely destroyed my tyres and Vettel could have had a really good shot at overtaking me. My only chance of winning the race anyway, or to fight Lewis, or try to overtake him, would have come at the end of the race, so that’s what I was building up to. ‘The worst part of the weekend was losing out to Lewis in qualifying. That compromised me most. And it was by just four-hundredths. That’s all down to me to be those five-hundredths quicker next time.’

The new Adam Sandler film ran into a huge problem on Wednesday when a group of extras stormed off the set. Native American actors appearing in The Ridiculous 6, a spoof of The Magnificent Seven that stars and was written by Sandler, left the set after they became offended by the script's jokes about their race and culture. It was so bad in fact that even the cultural adviser for the movie, which is filming in New Mexico, walked off the set. Scroll down for video . A dozen Native American extras and the cultural adviser walked off the set of Adam Sandler's (seated above in wig) new movie The Ridiculous 6 on Wednesday . The film stars Sandler (left), Taylor Lautner (right), Nick Nolte and Steve Buscemi . Loren Anthony (above with Nick Nolte in the background) was one of the extras who walked off set . Indian Country Today Media Network spoke to one of the actors who walked off, Navajo Nation tribal member Loren Anthony, about his issues with the script. 'I was asked a long time ago to do some work on this and I wasn't down for it. Then they told me it was going to be a comedy, but it would not be racist,' said Anthony. 'So I agreed to it but on Monday things started getting weird on the set.' Among the many problems he cited were the costumes that were being used, the way the hair was being styled, and the film's treatment of women. 'We were supposed to be Apache, but it was really stereotypical and we did not look Apache at all. We looked more like Comanche,' he explained. 'One thing that really offended a lot of people was that there was a female character called Beaver's breath. One character says "Hey, Beaver's Breath." And the Native woman says, "How did you know my name?'" In another scene, an Apache woman is seen squatting and urinating while smoking a pipe. As for the dress, the Apache do not wear their hair in braids or chokers while that is common for Comache. Anthony (on right with actor Saginaw Grant) said the film was offensive towards Native American women . Vanilla Ice (above as Mark Twain) with Sandler in the background in red bandanna were back to filming oin Thursday . Anthony said that though the film is about the Apache (traditionl dress on left) extras were dressed more like Comanche (traditional dress on right), with braids and chokers . Making matters worse says Anthony is that no one felt like they were being listened to by the production team. 'They just treated us as if we should just be on the side,' said Anthony. 'When we did speak with the main director, he was trying to say the disrespect was not intentional and this was a comedy.' The cultural adviser meanwhile asked to speak to Sandler according to one extra, but was refused, and when that extra, Goldie Tom, later complained, she was told; 'It's in the script and we are not going to change it.' Tom later said on her Facebook; 'I've had some time to sit and think about everything that's been going on, on the set of this movie The Ridiculous Six. 'Something just didn't feel right, I had a heavy heart while being on set but still tried to make the best of it. But after finding out what was in the script and what some of the movie scences portrayed, a group of us left the set upset and with our hearts pounding due to the disrespect of our Native people. 'It's been an emotional and upsetting time since we left the set but we have stood up for what we think is right and we are going to stand by our decision. Still and always will represent OUR PEOPLE!!!' The film's director Frank Coraci (above) with Sandler on the set . Blake Shelton (above with Whitney Cummings) has a small role in the film . Sandler and his production company Happy Madison have yet to comment, though Netflix, who is producing the movie, did release a statement. 'The movie has ridiculous in the title for a reason: because it is ridiculous,' they said. 'It is a broad satire of Western movies and the stereotypes they popularized, featuring a diverse cast that is not only part of - but in on - the joke.' That cast includes Taylor Lautner, Nick Nolte, Blake Shelton, David Spade and Steve Buscemi, among others. Lautner has said before that he has distant Native American ancestry on his mother's side, specifically Ottawa and Potawatomi. Producer Heather Parry (second from right) shared this photo from set earlier this month with David vSpade, Cummings and Lautner . Steve Buscemi also has a role in the film (above with director Coraci) Other stars in the film include Lavell Crawford (top left), Steve Zahn (top right), Nick Swardson (middle right), Will Forte (bottom left), and Paul Sado (bottom right) David Hill, a 74-year-old Choctaw , did not seem to feel like he was in on the joke as he too left the set. 'They were being disrespectful,' he said. 'They were bringing up those same old arguments that Dan Snyder uses in defending the Redskins. But let me tell you, our dignity is not for sale. It is a real shame because a lot of people probably stay because they need a job.' He then added; 'We understand this is a comedy, we understand this is humor, but we won’t tolerate disrespect. I told the director if he had talked to a native woman the way they were talked to in this movie - I said I would knock his ass out.' 'When I began doing this film, I had an uneasy feeling inside of me and I felt so conflicted,' said Allison Young, a Navajo who studied film at Dartmouth. 'I talked to a former instructor at Dartmouth and he told me to take this as finally experiencing stereotyping first hand. We talked to the producers about our concerns.' Filming also went on Wednesday after the extras walked off, with Coraci even posting a selfie of himself in front of the teepees (above) the Native American extras found so offensive . Young then explained that, just as Anthony said, talking about her concerns with the production team did not work. 'They just told us, "If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave,'" she said. 'I was just standing there and got emotional and teary-eyed. I didn’t want to cry but the feeling just came over me. This is supposed to be a comedy that makes you laugh. A film like this should not make someone feel this way.' Despite this, filming seemed to continue on Thursday, with Vanilla Ice, who plays Mark Twain in the film, posting a photo with Sandler in the background. Filming also went on Wednesday after the extras walked off, with director Frank Coraci even posting a selfie of himself in front of the teepees the Native American extras found so offensive. And not all the Native Americans on the set had issues with the script, with Ricardo Caté, a Kewa Pueblo native who also draws satirical cartoons, telling the Sante Fe New Mexican; 'There's nothing worse [in the script] than anything in my cartoons. If anything racial or racist happened I would have walked off. The shoot has been fine, everybody has been happy.'

A dozen Native American extras and the cultural adviser walked off the set of Adam Sandler's new movie on Wednesday . The film, The Ridiculous 6, is a spoof of The Magnificent Seven that is being made for Netflix . One extra who walked off claims that the production crew and director ignored their complaints about offensive jokes . This included inaccurate costumes and referring to one woman as 'Beaver's Breath' The film also stars Nick Nolte, Steve Buscemi, Blake Shelton and Taylor Lautner, who has previously said he has distant Native American ancestry . Netflix said in a statement; 'It is a broad satire of Western movies and the stereotypes they popularized, featuring a diverse cast that is not only part of - but in on - the joke'

The book Sex by Numbers: What statistics can tell us about sexual behaviour was released this week and it's a must-read for anyone fascinated by who really does what, where, when and how in bed. The author, David Spielgalhalter, a Cambridge University professor, sets out to investigate various sexual statistical claims and separate myth from reality. It's prompted me to do the same. Scroll down for video . Scientists who reviewed 20 different studies of penis size, including 15,521 measurements of penises from around the world found some surprising results. Since no other part of the human body is more shrouded in myth and folklore than men's most precious part, it seemed the penis was the most deserving subject to study. Here's what the latest research has to say: . So, it is really six inches? A new paper in the British Journal of Urology International is based on the results of scientists who reviewed 20 different studies of penis size, including 15,521 measurements of penises from around the world. Most importantly, it was based only on studies where the penis had been measured by a trained health professional (surprise, surprise: men aren't terribly honest or accurate when they measure it themselves). The result: most men fall within just a couple of centimetres of each other, with most measuring around 5.2 inches in length when erect with a 4.6 inch circumference. If he wants to DIY, the correct way to measure a penis is to use a cloth measuring tape, not a straight-edged ruler. He should measure while it's erect and measure the side facing his stomach, pushing the tape down to press against the pubic bone (so he's not measuring fat!). Tracey investigate various sexual statistical claims and separates myth from reality . The average time between penetration and him ejaculating (for heterosexual couples) is nine minutes. This was the result of a European study of 1,100 couples from 44 countries. Each couple attempted intercourse at least twice a week for eight weeks and used a stop watch, clicking it on the minute he penetrated and clicking stop immediately after ejaculation. Previous studies settled on between two or three minutes duration; another rated the 'ideal time' of intercourse for both men and women at between three and 13 minutes. The more he exercises, the stronger his erection. A new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine looked at how physical activity affected erectile functioning. Men who exercised the most (18 hours a week) had the highest sexual functioning scores. Watching porn doesn't affect his ability to perform. Two reputable online surveys found no link between the use of pornography and erection problems, despite popular perception that watching too much porn leads to ED (erectile dysfunction). What does make sense (though, again not proven) is that men who have difficulties turn to porn as a way of experiencing sex without embarrassment. Great sex does not depend on a big penis. A study including opinions of 25 highly respected sex therapists identified eight elements that make up the best sex you can possibly expect. Guess what? The penis didn't even get a look in. The myth that big hands/big feet/big nose means a big penis has no scientific proof or evidence supporting it whatsoever. But height did make a difference: the taller the man, the longer his penis is likely to be. Bald guys have a stronger sex drive. This may well have legs. The myth says bald men are more virile than men with hair because they have more testosterone in their body (which can cause hair loss). The testosterone/hair loss link is proven. Baldness is caused when hair follicles become exposed to too much dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is a chemical produced by the male hormone testosterone. Testosterone is also the chemical responsible for his libido. The average number of erections per day for most men is seven. But five of these occur while he's asleep. The penis has a safety-valve that ensures a man can't ejaculate and urinate at the same time. The average quantity of semen ejaculated is 3ml. The average speed of ejaculation is 28 miles per hour. The amount of blood in an erect penis is ten times more than when it's flaccid. It shoots from 9ml flaccid to 90ml erect. One testicle hangs lower than the other to avoid them getting squashed when he walks! Eighty-five percent of men find their left testicle is lower and larger.

Jeremy Hunt said a future Conservative government would look into the findings 'in detail' The Mail’s revelations sparked outrage last night with all three major political parties backing calls for an inquiry. There was disgust too among frontline NHS staff and patients. The head of the Royal College of Nursing said nurses who had faced five years of pay freezes would struggle to comprehend the six per cent pay rise for their bosses. Patient groups said the packages were indefensible when patients were seeing spiralling waiting times and cuts to routine procedures. Professor Jane Dacre, president of the Royal College of Physicians, called for an independent review of top NHS pay while Professor Sir Brian Jarman, a senior Government health adviser, called for a public inquiry, saying bosses were manipulating the system. The main political parties promised an inquiry. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: ‘A future Conservative government would ask the Department of Health to look at the Mail’s investigation in detail. 'Too often high executive pay has been awarded as a matter course, not because of exceptional performance. Labour’s Andy Burnham said: ‘Labour will conduct a thorough investigation into this, as part of our plan to ensure pay fairness from bottom to top in the NHS. We have called for loopholes to be closed to prevent abuses.’ For the Liberal Democrats, Norman Lamb said: ‘NHS frontline staff will rightly feel that this situation is unfair. It is right to have an investigation so that these contracts are looked into so that we can make the best use of taxpayers’ money.’ Calling for an independent review, Professor Dacre said: ‘Transparency in the NHS, including transparency of remuneration, is vital to ensure accountability to the patients we serve. An independent review would help to ensure that NHS CEO salaries are fair. ‘It is important that we appoint high quality chief executives in NHS Trusts and their focus should always be on standards of patient care. They should be rewarded for the difficult role that they have taken on, but this should relate to the standard of patient care that they provide and the size of the organisation they run.’ Dr Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the RCN, described the findings as 'shocking' Sir Brian Jarman said: ‘It is wrong. It is as simple as that. It seems to be manipulating the system. ‘They should be putting their attention on to lowering their death rates or seeing if there’s a problem with the quality of care rather than getting themselves higher incomes. That should be their priority. It is very worrying. ‘It is something that should be investigated, absolutely, by the Department of Health. Or a public inquiry so you can subpoena witnesses and they must give evidence under oath and if they don’t give evidence that’s relevant they can go to jail for up to 51 weeks.’ The country’s foremost pensions expert, Dr Ros Altmann, said the figures showed executives were ‘milking the system’. She said NHS bosses were signing off their own pay rises and taking advantage of loopholes in the ‘exceptionally generous’ NHS pension scheme. She added: ‘It is outrageous, it is so wrong. 'They think they can get away with it just because the law allows it. But morally it is questionable. ‘It is like the MPs’ expenses scandal. The rules would never have been intended to be used in this manner – they are meant for nurses struggling, who need to keep working to make ends meet. ‘These executives are exploiting the rules for their own advantage. It is not acceptable. There should be independent scrutiny. The idea that senior executives can retire and come back to work to double-dip needs to be rethought. ‘Taking lump sums and then re-employing themselves when there is evidence of failure – that needs to be challenged.’ Dr Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the RCN, said: ‘At a time when NHS finances are in crisis, it is shocking that some NHS bosses continue to receive such vastly inflated financial rewards. Nursing staff will struggle to comprehend that their bosses have had an average 6 per cent pay rise when they are only getting 1 per cent this year, having seen their pay fall further and further behind the cost of living over the last few years. Norman Lamb for the Liberal Democrats said frontline staff would rightly find the revelations 'unfair' ‘Senior managers such as chief executives do important and highly valued work, but they should not be getting disproportionate pay rises and bonuses while frontline staff continue to struggle.’ Mark Littlewood, director general at the Institute of Economic Affairs, said the revelations of ‘misallocation of money’ in the NHS required ‘serious attention.’ Roger Goss of Patient Concern, said: ‘These pay packets are simply outrageous. They are indefensible. We need a formal inquiry into this. ‘It is impossible to justify these ludicrous pay arrangements when patients who are being told they cannot have routine treatments on the NHS and are suffering huge waiting times because of stretched resources. Patients will be horrified.’ Campaigner Julie Bailey, who helped expose the horrific neglect at Stafford Hospital, said: ‘The public would be shocked with these huge salaries and added perks. ‘Where else could you fail so badly and yet be rewarded so highly, by yourself?’ Dave Prentis, general secretary of the Unison union, said: ‘Staff working in hospitals and health centres up and down the country are right to feel outraged that their pay has been reined in year after year, while their bosses see such huge increases.’ And Richard Murphy, director of Tax Research UK, and an adviser to the TUC, added: ‘This is the private sector’s influence on the NHS gone mad.’ Sue James retired for a day to claim a £155,000 payout . TRICK ONE: Retiring for a day . One of the most lucrative loopholes NHS bosses exploit is the health service’s ‘24-hour-retirement’ rule. In the past, the NHS banned employees from retiring to claim benefits and then returning to the same job. From 2008, however, an exception was written in allowing staff to ‘retire’ for 24 hours to claim retirement benefits before carrying on working. Pension experts said this was aimed to make life easier for highly experienced nurses and other low paid front-line staff and to encourage them not to leave. NHS board members are now exploiting this, allowing them to claim hundreds of thousands of pounds in lump sums from their huge pension pots when they turn 60. This cash can be taken tax-free. But because they only really ‘retire’ for 24 hours, they can carry on drawing their huge NHS salary afterwards. Peter Herring, chief executive at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, claimed a £252,000 tax-free lump sum by ‘retiring’ for 24 hours, before returning to the same position. Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust chief executive Sue James did the same to claim a £155,000 payout. Despite their public positions, they did not announce their brief retirements and their trusts did not disclose the highly sought-after posts were vacant before re-employing them. Instead, the details were hidden in the small print of their annual reports the following year. Under pension rules, most NHS workers can claim the retirement benefits only if they work for 16 hours or less per week for a month after ‘retiring’ for 24 hours. But none of the executives approached by the Mail team had announced they were working part time for a month – or taken a salary cut accordingly. TRICK TWO: Compensation bonuses . Hospital chiefs were awarded extraordinary compensation payments after quitting their pension schemes for apparent tax reasons. Under national rules, there are tax benefits applied to pension pots up to a limit, which was £1.5million until last year and has since been reduced to £1.25million. As a result, many choose to stop contributing to their pots when approaching the limit. When hospital bosses found themselves in this position, however, some received top-ups to their already huge salaries as compensation. South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust chief executive Lorraine Lambert withdrew from the NHS pension scheme in 2012/13 as she approached the tax-free pension pot limit. She was awarded £20,000 the following year on top of her £165,000 salary. A footnote in her trust’s annual report stated: ‘During 2012/13 the chief executive withdrew from the NHS Pension Scheme and received additional remuneration to compensate for the loss of the employer’s contribution to that scheme.’ TRICK THREE: Flexible new job . Many bosses retire to claim their huge lump sums – before being re-employed on ‘flexible’ contracts. North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust boss Mike Walker earned more than £1million in 2012/13, including £855,000 in pension-related benefits. He is also entitled to a £220,000 tax-free pension lump sum after turning 60 last October. At the end of 2013, Mr Walker – who has a £1.6million pension pot – was allowed to ‘flexibly retire’. The former medical director is now working on the development of a new hospital and a patient feedback system. Because he is no longer on the board, his new pay is not disclosed. TRICK FOUR: Leaving after pension boost . The generous NHS pension scheme is said massively to favour high earners. The scheme – until this year a final salary system – still uses a calculation method that gives a huge pension boost as salaries increase. If an employee’s salary suddenly goes up, their pension pot will receive a huge boost – sometimes worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. As a result, staff promoted to hospital boards see their pension-related benefits for the year rise dramatically. Many bosses appear to stay in jobs until they get a promotion and a pay rise which boosts their pension, before quitting the year after they have banked the pay out.

A Daily Mail investigation revealed NHS bosses raked in £35m last year . Nearly 50 hospital separate bosses took home more than £400,000 . MPs and frontline staff are united in their outrage at the Mail's findings . All three of the major political parties have called for an inquiry .

The brass lamp is being sold at auction in June by auctioneers Hansons (above with model in period costume) A brass desk lamp used by Florence Nightingale as she wrote about her nursing experiences in the Crimean War is to be sold at auction. It was given as a gift to two sisters who worked as servants for the Nightingale family at Lea Hurst, near Matlock, Derbyshire. Dating back to around 1840, the 10in tall lamp will go under the hammer at Hansons in Etwall, Derbyshire, on June 26. After her experiences in the war Nightingale returned to Derbyshire, where she had spent her childhood, in the 1850s. She wrote of what she had seen in the conflict with her 1859 Notes on Nursing still considered as having shaped the profession today. During the war she became known as The Lady with the Lamp thanks to a report in The Times. She had been sent to Selimiye Barracks in Scutari, now Istanbul, in 1854 to care for soldiers. She pleaded with the British newspaper to appeal to the Government for better working conditions having been horrified by the squalor and disease fighters faced. The result was Renkioi Hospital, a civilian facility built in England and shipped to the area to care for those who had been hurt. It was there Nightingale earned her nickname, carrying a lamp as she completed rounds of the hospital's patients through the night. The lamp from her Derbyshire home was passed down through generations of the Lea Hurst servants' family. Auctineer Charles Hanson said: ‘The lamp is quite remarkable. It has a wonderful provenance, which confirms it helped ignite Florence and her writings late into many a Derbyshire night. 'Such an iconic object and it’s association with such a leading lady will be guided at £1000-2000. With interest and competition it may just ignite, since it is such a wonderful object.' Florence Nightingale penned nursing notes at her Derbyshire home after returning from the Crimean War .

A father who was arrested for using medical cannabis on his critically ill two-year-old daughter has pleaded for the government to legalise the drug as her health continues to decline. After hearing positive stories about the benefits of using the controversial treatment, the 32-year-old Cairns man decided to give cannabis oil to his daughter who is battling a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma. Despite his claims that it improved her condition, the father, who cannot be named for legal reasons but has been nicknamed 'Fearless Father', was charged with administering a dangerous drug to a minor and was refused access to his sick daughter. Now he has spoken out in the hope that he can persuade the government to rethink their cannabis laws and drop the charges against him. Scroll down for video . The father has been charged for treating his 2-year-old daughter with medical cannabis oil . ‘My daughter’s got a 50 per cent survival rate, it’s pretty confronting', he told Channel 10. ‘Each day that ticks over is essentially children suffering as well as my daughter,' he said while talking about legalising medical cannabis. The little girl, who was diagnosed with the deadly disease shortly before Christmas, has an 11cm cancerous growth which is putting pressure on her internal organs. Just last week the toddlers condition took a turn for the worse. The young child has a high temperature, an infection and has fluid in her lungs. ‘She couldn't really move, I would just show her videos from home. I was crying the whole time because I don’t see her enough,' the desperate father said. 'That’s been the hardest thing not being there to support her and for her to see me and give her my love and care.' He appeared in court in January, where he was granted the right to visit his daughter, having previously been refused access after he was charged. When asked by Ten News if he thought he was a criminal, the father said 'absolutely not' and made it clear that all he wanted was for his daughter to get better. The young girl’s mother, who is estranged from the father, does not agree with his actions and the method of treatment he chose to use on their daughter. The father is reportedly estranged from the two-year-old's mother and she has made it very clear that she does not support his actions. She doesn't believe there's been an improvement in her daughter's condition. The adorable little girl was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer shortly before Christmas . He has relocated to Brisbane to be with his daughter during her treatment and is living out of a suitcase. For several weeks now, the father has been unable to see his daughter as she wasn't in the hospital. On his team's Facebook page it was revealed that it took police nearly three months to approve a supervisor for times that the little girl is not in hospital. 'The hospital have defaulted to previous orders from 2013 because they were given no choice in the absence of an agreement between [the child's] parents, which means that [the father] gets to spend 10 hours a week with his child IF she is in hospital,' the Facebook page called 'Fearless Father said. '[The father's] family, who love [the child] very much are also excluded from her life unless they are able to visit during [the father's] visits.' Two-year-old has an 11cm cancerous growth which is putting pressure on her internal organs . In January the dad was desperate to find a solution to his daughter's pain and administered the medical cannabis oil mixed with coconut, to increase her rate of survival. 'My aim was to create an alkaline climate in her body, provide a nutrient dense diet, alkaline water, essential oil therapy and a healing environment of fun and positivity,' he said. 'Her cancer ridden little body was alive again. [My daughter] had almost instant quality of life,' he said. 'She would say “Daddy, tummy's not sore". She would be able to eat like a champion and began to gain weight,' 'Her energy was up and she wanted to go outside with me instead of lay on her back with legs curled up. Her skin colour came back, her eyes were sparkling again,' the father has said. The girl's mother is at odds with the father over his treatment options for their daughter . However, according to him, his daughter is now struggling to breath on her own and is having seizures following her withdrawal from the cannabis oil. 'She has spiralled downhill since she lost her daddy and oil treatment. I pray that I will see her again one way,' he said. He appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates court in January charged with possession of a dangerous drug and administering a dangerous drug to a minor under the age of 16. As part of his bail he has now been allowed access to his daughter in hospital, however there needs to be a supervisor in the room with him. A group of people holding placards turned out at the court in support of the father and to protest against his arrest. After hearing positive stories about the benefits of cannabis oil, the father decided to give it to his daughter . The father, who worked as an IT professional with the Catholic Education Department, was left devastated when he was unable to log on to the work system after having his Blue Card revoked. Having sent numerous emails to the Education Department asking for permission to take 12 months carer leave with no response, he was shocked at their decision. He received a letter in the post to say his Blue Card had been revoked, claiming the change in his police information meant his employer must not continue to employ him. However the Catholic Education Department has made it clear that they support him and this was merely a legality. '[The father] is still employed by Catholic Education and is currently on paid leave,' they said. She was diagnosed with the deadly disease shortly before Christmas 2014 and her parents have been told she has a fifty per cent chance of survival . They said he is free to speak to them regarding his employment and can access their employee assistance program. Since the excruciating decision was made to ban the father from seeing his dying daughter, he has set up a campaign to raise awareness of his situation. The dad received good news as a result of the campaign, when he was granted permission to contact the hospital on a daily basis to be updated on his daughter's condition. The petition has attracted worldwide attention and over 200,000 supporters have now joined his campaign in an effort to legalise cannabis. The two-year-old tot's parents are in dispute over the administering of medical cannabis to cure her cancer . He argued that he 'deserves to have his parental rights to see his child reinstated, the charges against him dropped by a court and the right to decide the treatment options for his own child.' 'There is ample evidence to show that medical cannabis has many beneficial effects for cancer patients without the harmful side effects and other associated risks of current drug treatments,' he said. A fund has been set up in the two-year-old's name and is in the hands of his mother. He said all money raised from the account will be used for his daughter's ongoing journey and recovery. The NSW government recently announced there will be a range of clinical trials administered to test the benefits of medical marijuana. 'Medical Cannabis oil is an amazing healer and needs to be made available for anyone in need.' the father said. 'My goal is the have these charges thrown out. [The girl] needs her Daddy by her side.'

Host Alex Trebek asked: 'In common law, the age of this, signaling adulthood, is presumed to be 14 in boys & 12 in girls?'

Jeopardy contestant Tom left a lasting impression with viewers for all the wrong reasons after giving a highly inappropriate answer to a question about puberty .

Christopher Barry, 53, was stabbed to death by a 13-year-old boy after a row outside a block of flats . A 13-year-old boy has been jailed for more than 11 years after pleading guilty to a brutal stabbing making him one of Britain's youngest ever murderers. The boy, who is a member of the notorious Wood Green Gang, pleaded guilty to stabbing 53-year-old Christopher Barry twice in the chest outside his home in Edmonton, north London, on December 14 last year. The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pulled a knife from his rucksack and stabbed Mr Barry, a builder, as he got into a lift following a row. The Old Bailey heard the boy became enraged when Mr Barry, who was known as Jack, would not let the boy and his friends into the block of flats. Zoe Johnson QC told the court the murder happened on December 14 last year, as the killer attended a 13th birthday party at his friend's flat off The Broadway, in Edmonton, north London. He and a group of friends left the flat to see one boy to his bus home, but returned to the wrong block to try to rejoin the party. 'Tragically it appears they returned to the wrong door of the wrong block', said Ms Johnson. 'When they buzzed the door, they were buzzing the wrong flat which explains why no one answered.' Mr Barry and his girlfriend, Sabrina Finn, arrived home to find the group of boys trying to get into the black of flats when they lived. Ms Johnson said: 'One of those boys was continually pressing the button to be let in. 'Mr Barry and his girlfriend said they couldn't let the boys into the flat if the occupants weren't answering the buzzer. The attack happened as Mr Barry (left) returned home with his girlfriend, council worker Sabrina Finn (right) 'As Mr Barry used his fob to open the main entrance, it appears there was a bit of pushing and shoving between him and the boys. 'Mr Barry and his girlfriend entered the block and walked to the lift. 'The defendant followed Mr Barry into the block, along a short corridor, around a corner, and as Mr Barry stepped into the lift, the defendant stabbed him twice in the chest, in a completely unprovoked and cowardly attack.' One of the boys with the killer told police he had seen his friend 'become angry and take a kitchen knife out of his rucksack.' Another of the boys saw him thrust the knife at Mr Barry and say: 'What are you saying now? What are you saying now?' before swinging the knife at the victim. When they ran from the block of flats, the killer told a friend he had 'just ripped the man's jacket'. The Old Bailey (pictured) heard the boy became enraged when Mr Barry, who was known as Jack, would not let the boy and his friends into the block of flats where he lived. He fatally stabbed Mr Barry twice . Mr Barry did not initially realise he had been stabbed, but found blood on his shirt and when he entered his flat he collapsed. Paramedics found him laying face down in a pool of blood, with a wound in his abdomen and another in his chest. He later died from his injuries. In texts later that night, the boy told a friend: 'I'm going to prison' and posted on Facebook: 'The thing I'm going to miss most when I go pen (penitentiary) is NY gyal (New York Girl).' Ms Johnson said the boy also went by a street name associated with the Wood Green Gang. 'This is a gang that he candidly admitted he was associated with since the age of ten', she said. The court heard the teenager was given a police caution and excluded from his first school when he was caught with a knife and cannabis in February 2013, then aged just 11. Ms Johnson said Mr Barry's girlfriend, Ms Finn, had written an impact statement describing the 'appalling effects on her and many of Mr Barry's family and friends'. 'I'm back at work now, but although I walk, talk, and look the same as I did before, inside I'm tired and my heart is broken', she said. Mr Barry was stabbed following the row outside this block of flats in Edmonton, north London (pictured) 'Jack and I had four happy years together and this young boy has taken that happiness away from me. 'For that I'm very sad and angry as my life will never been the same again.' The boy's mother wept in court as Judge Stephen Kramer QC today sentenced the boy to a minimum of 11 years detention at her majesty's pleasure. 'When Mr Barry returned home, he refused to let you in to that block but you nevertheless got in', he said. 'You followed Mr Barry, produced your knife, and then stabbed him twice in the chest. 'The injury to the chest went through clothing including a wax jacket and went deep.' 'You are only 13 years old but shortly after 7.30pm on the evening of December 14 2014, you were carrying a knife in your bag. 'You wanted to get into a block of flats but you went to the wrong block with tragic consequences for everyone involved.' The judge said it was an aggravating factor that the boy had taken the knife to the scene in his bag and said he had clearly intended to cause really serious harm to Mr Barry. The boy has been deemed a high risk of causing harm and at a medium risk of reoffending when he is released, and the judge urged him to reconsider his gang affiliation. However he also accepted it was not a premeditated attack and that the boy had a 'troubled background'. He took into account the boy's remorse, revealed in a letter from his mother which was not read out in court. The boy, wearing a pale blue shirt with a white buttoned up collar, showed no emotion and stared straight ahead as the sentence was passed. The teenager pleaded guilty to one count of murder on March 6, and Michael Turner QC, defending, said this was a 'unique' early admission from such a young defendant. Judge Kramer refused an application by the press to lift a legal ban on naming the boy, saying there were 'exceptional' circumstances.

Genealogists have made an error in compiling the family tree of Hillary Clinton and she is in fact linked to a poor Welsh mining family, an expert claimed . As she kicks off her bid to enter the White House, Hillary Clinton could claim that her path to the presidency began some 160 years ago in the little-known Welsh parish of Ystradyfodwg – if she can pronounce it, that is. For while the US Democrat has previously spoken of her British ancestry, a definitive family tree has revealed her links to a poor mining community in the Welsh Valleys. Ystradyfodwg, pronounced Ust-rady-vod-ug, was the home of Mrs Clinton's great grandmother - a woman who showed a determination, similar to that of the former First Lady, to struggle through poverty and eventually emigrate to America with her family. In fact Mrs Clinton's steely resolve to get to the White House and make history as the first female president, can be seen in the actions of her female ancestors, who even defied social conventions through the years. US genealogy expert Megan Smolenyak has traced Mrs Clinton’s roots to a mining family from Ystradyfodwg, a small community in south Wales. It is named after Dyfodwg, or Tyfodwg, a sixth century Welsh saint who some believe may have been a Breton Monk. The district, known for its reliance on coal mining and poverty, has since been abolished and is now part of Rhondda. Mrs Clinton's great-grandmother Mary Griffiths was born in Merthyr Tydfil in the Welsh Valleys, and from an early age supported her widowed mother. Official records show she was working as a servant by the age of 12 but in reality she may have been working even earlier. Ms Smolenyak said: 'Born around 1850 in Merthyr Tydfil – at that time, the largest town in Wales – she [Mary Griffiths] can be found in the 1851 census living with her widowed mother and three older siblings. 'Fatherless by the age of one, Mary Griffiths had already been dealt a tough hand.' Scroll down for video . She went on to marry William Jones, a coal miner from Neath, in 1871 and the couple settled in Ystradyfodwg. In a bid for a better life the family made the lengthy journey via Ellis Island to Scranton in Pennsylvania, another mining district where they would continue their trade in the early 1880s. Shortly after they arrived Hannah Jones was born, sometime between 1882 and 1883. Mary Griffiths Jones continued as the head of the family, her husband mostly absent. Hannah Jones was one of just four children out of 14 born who survived - an indication of the poverty her traditional mining family lived in. Mrs Clinton's grandparents Hannah Jones (left) and Hugh Rodham eloped to wed in Binghampton, New York, and are pictured with their granddaughter, former First Lady Hillary Clinton . It was in America that Hannah Jones - who was to become Mrs Clinton's grandmother - met Hugh Rodham, part of the Rodham family who had travelled to America two years earlier from Northumberland. But the circumstances of their marriage reveal the poverty the Jones family endured and the wide social gulf between the Rodhams and Joneses at that time. The pair eloped to Binghampton in New York to get married - a place akin to Gretna Green where people would often go to wed because regulations were less strict. Hannah Jones' family hailed from a poor mining district which is now part of Rhondda in Wales . Mrs Clinton's family were from Ystradyfodwg, close to Neath and Merthyr Tydfil, and now part of Rhondda . From the family histories of the Jones and Rodham families, it appears the pair may have been forced to elope because the Rodhams were unlikely to have approved of their son marrying a woman from such a poor family when they had managed to become moderately wealthy after emigrating to America. Ms Smolenyak revealed that the Jones family were all miners while the Rodhams - who were to become Hannah Jones' in-laws - had left the trade after arriving in the US, and one even became a physician. Ms Smolenyak said: 'When Hugh Rodham found himself smitten with Hannah Jones, he had fallen for a girl who was regarded as being from “the wrong side of the tracks.” Mrs Clinton announced she was running for president last week and toured the Whitney Brothers factory . If Hillary Clinton is successful she could make history as the first female president of the United States . 'If he hadn’t been bold enough to wander across the state line to marry his sweetheart, Hillary’s father wouldn’t have born, erasing her from the scene. 'And if [Hillary] Rodham Clinton recalls her grandmother Hannah as a strong-willed woman who “ruled everyone within her reach,” it may have been a reflection of her determination to escape the circumstances that left her the sole survivor of her birth family of 16 by her early forties.' Hannah Jones Rodham, frequently described by Mrs Clinton as a 'strong willed woman' gave birth to Mrs Clinton's father Hugh E Rodham in 1911 and died in 1952 when Mrs Clinton was just five. 1850s - Mary Griffiths born in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales to poor family. 1851 - Miss Griffiths was living with her widowed mother and three siblings in Wales and by the age of 12 was working as a slave. 1871 - Miss Griffiths married William Jones, a coal miner from Neath near Swansea. They settled in Ystradyfodwg, near Merthyr Tydfil. 1880  - The Joneses moved to Scranton. 1882-1883 - Hannah Jones was born, one of 14 children - of which only four survived. 1902 - Hannah Jones eloped to Binghampton to marry Hugh S Rodham. He had been born in Northumberland and travelled to America with his family where he met Hannah Jones. 1911 - Hugh E Rodham born to the couple in Scranton, Pennsylvania. 1942  - Hugh E Rodham married Dorothy Howell Rodham, originally from Chicago. 1947 - Hillary Rodham, the eldest of the couple's three children was born. She later went on to marry Bill Clinton. 1952 - Hannah Jones Rodham dies, when Hillary is just five years old. The account appears to be the first definitive family tree for Mrs Clinton which traces her Welsh roots to an area of the Valleys. Previous versions appear to have been drawn incorrectly due to a mix-up over her grandmother. Ms Smolenyak claimed she discovered a key flaw in how genealogists previously compiled Mrs Clinton's family tree in misidentifying Hannah Jones. She said the mistake was made after two children of the same name were born in Scranton in Pennsylvania between 1882 and 1883, and experts previously 'latched onto' the incorrect Hannah Jones. Ms Smolenyak discovered the error while doing research for a piece about Mrs Clinton for Irish America and managed to trace the correct woman using marriage records and obituaries. She identified a woman born shortly after her family arrived in the US in the 1880s, Hannah Jones, who then went on to marry Hugh Rodham in 1902. The revelations come after Mrs Clinton herself appeared to make a mistake regarding her ancestry last week when she suggested all her ancestors were immigrants. She was later forced to correct the error after it was proven that Hannah Jones was born in the US in the 1880s.

A definitive family tree of Hillary Clinton reveals her Welsh ancestors . They lived in a poor mining district called Ystradyfodwg, now Rhondda . Family emigrated to Pennsylvania where Mrs Clinton's grandmother Hannah Jones was born - one of four children out of 14 born to survive . Hannah Jones then eloped with Hugh Rodham - Mrs Clinton's grandfather - to marry because his family probably disproved of her poor background .

A. Alfred Taubman, the self-made Michigan billionaire whose philanthropy and business success — including weaving the enclosed shopping mall into American culture — was clouded by a criminal conviction late in his career, has died aged 91. Taubman,  who donated hundreds of millions of dollars to universities, hospitals and museums, died Friday night at his home of a heart attack, according to son Robert S. Taubman, president and CEO of Taubman Centers, Inc. 'This company and all that you stand for were among the greatest joys of his life,' Robert S. Taubman wrote in a message to the company's employees. Dead at 91: Real estate mogul and Michigan billionaire A. Alfred Taubman  died on Friday night at his home after a heart attack . 'He was so proud of what this wonderful company he founded 65 years ago has accomplished.' Taubman's business success spanned from real estate and art houses to the hot dog-serving A&W restaurant chain, for which he traveled to Hungary to figure out why the country's sausage was so good. He also became a major backer of stem-cell research. But it was his rearrangement of how people shop — parking lot in front, several stores in one stop close to home — that left a mark on American culture. Taubman Centers, a subsidiary of his Taubman Co., founded in 1950, currently owns and manages 19 regional shopping centers nationwide. 'Everything that excited me that I got interested in, I did,' Taubman told The Associated Press in a 2007 interview. Born January 31, 1942, in Pontiac, Michigan, to German-Jewish immigrants, Taubman worked as a boy at a department store after school near his family's home, which was among the custom houses and commercial buildings developed in the area by his father. He was a freshman at the University of Michigan when he left to serve in World War II, around the time he stopped using his first name, Adolph. When he returned to Ann Arbor to study art and architecture, he created small on-campus businesses to cover expenses, then transferred to Lawrence Technological University near Detroit to take night classes while working at an architectural firm as a junior draftsman. Family business: Taubman Prestige Outlets Chesterfield officially opened in 2013 in Chesterfield, Missouri a western suburb of St. Louis . Recognizing the booming post-war growth of the middle class, particularly in the Motor City, he launched his first real estate development company in 1950. His first project was a freestanding bridal shop in Detroit — but he had his eyes on something bigger. He'd noticed shoppers responding to the convenience of 'one-stop comparison shopping opportunity,' he wrote in his autobiography. So when a friend suggested a shopping plaza in Flint, Taubman's company did something radical for the time: stores were pushed to the back of the lot and parking spaces were put up front. It was a success, his young company took on larger-scale developments in Michigan, California and elsewhere in the 1950s and early '60s. A. Alfred Taubman is assisted as he leaves federal court in New York, on Monday, April 22, 2002 where Taubman was sentenced to a year in jail for fixing commissions at Sotheby's . Taubman served as chairman of Sotheby's Holdings, Inc., parent company of Sotheby's art auction house, from 1983 to 2000, and was a partner in international real estate firm The Athena Group before he was tangled in a price-fixing scheme. He was convicted in 2001 of conspiring with Anthony Tennant, former chairman of Christie's International, to fix the commissions the auction giants charged. Prosecutors alleged sellers were bilked of as much as $400 million in commissions. Taubman was fined $7.5 million and spent about a year in a low-security prison in Rochester, Minnesota, but long insisted he was innocent and expressed regret for not testifying in his own defense. 'I had lost a chunk of my life, my good name and around 27 pounds,' he recalled in his book, saying he was forced to take the fall for others. Mall man: A. Alfred, Robert and William Taubman, along with Randy Benderson and other dignitaries, cut the ribbon today to open The Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota, Florida in 2014 . The case cast a shadow over Taubman's accomplishments, but it diminished over the years — and his philanthropy continued unabated. He had pledged $100 million to the University of Michigan's A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute and its stem-cell research by 2011. He also financed public-policy programs at Harvard, Brown University and the University of Michigan, which received several large donations. He donated millions and spoke passionately in support of the 2008 ballot initiative in Michigan that eased restrictions on embryonic stem-cell research and enabled his namesake institute to conduct major research for diseases — including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, which claimed the life of his good friend, New York Sen. Jacob Javits, in 1986. After turning over control of Taubman Centers to his two sons, Taubman made sustaining the Detroit Institute of Art a priority. His knowledge of how shoppers negotiated malls was tapped to help reconfigure the flow of the museum, and he helped guide the DIA as president of the Detroit Arts Commission through chronic financial problems.

It has no bathroom, no mains electricity and the only way to reach it is by boat or a novelty 'Noddy' train. But that hasn't stopped this modest timber shed being put up for sale for £230,000 – making it one of Britain's most expensive beach huts. Measuring just 15ft by 10ft, the remote beach hut on Mudeford Spit in Christchurch, Dorset, is the same price as a five-bedroom house in Herefordshire and more than a detached four-bedroom house in Kingswood, Hull. Owners will also have to shell out between £2,500 and £4,000 a year in ground rent to Christchurch Borough Council for use of the hut which can sleep up to five people. A beach hut (pictured) on desirable Mudeford Spit in Christchurch, Dorset, has gone on the market for £230,000 - the same price as a family home in many parts of Britain . The hut commands spectacular views across Christchurch Bay to the Needles and the Isle of Wight, but the vista is presently blighted by a rubbish skip dumped on the beach . Hut 39 commands spectacular views across the Solent, although the vista is presently blighted by a rubbish skip dumped on the beach for hut owners to use for their over-winter repairs. Despite their hefty price tags, the huts at Mudeford have no mains water or electricity, although this one does have a solar panel for 12v electric lights and power, a fridge and a full-size gas cooker. It has a kitchen, living area, mezzanine sleeping area and a sun terrace with incredible views over Christchurch Bay to the Needles and the Isle of Wight. Owners can only sleep at the huts between March and October, although they can visit any time of year, and they have to share a communal shower block.

The hut can sleep ten (at a squash) with a first floor mezzanine, two sofa beds and a pull-out double bed, and it has a small kitchen area and fridge freezer for the £270,000 price-tag . The beach hut's remote location means it can only be reach by boat or a novelty 'Noddy' train, followed by a half-mile hike across the dunes. It boasts a desirable position on the end of a row near the river entrance, meaning there is nothing but open space next to it. The current owner, who doesn't want to be named, is selling the hut privately. Steve Barratt, chairman of the Mudeford Beach Hut Association, said: 'Most huts these days have solar panels to meet lighting and entertainment needs and most have fridges, making the overall living experience better. They are a home from home. 'The main benefit of being in a hut is that even if the weather is changeable and you would not consider visiting the beach from home, being there means that as soon as the rain stops you can open the doors to enjoy the natural beauty of the sandbank. 'In the summer thousands of visitors come to the beaches for the day and as a hut owner you can have the benefit of a busy seaside scene that will evaporate when the visitors leave and by 7pm the beach becomes a quiet, social retreat you can share with your beach friends.' Hut 433 on Mudeford Spit went on sale for £270,000 in July 2014 - making it the most expensive beach hut in Britain. Denisons Estate Agents said the market for beach huts and Mudeford has snowballed over the last few years and many go for more than £200,000. Andy Denison said: 'They do seem to be fetching around the £200,000-mark now and there are rumours of them going higher than that. 'It seems like a lot of money but people are willing to pay that, even though they've still got to rent the land from the council as well. 'It's a beautiful part of the world and has some of the nicest beaches.' A one-bedroom beach hut (pictured) measuring just 23ft by 6ft in Shaldon, Devon, went on sale for £245,000 in November 2012 .

While we all know the key to maintaining a healthy weight is finding a middle ground between the amount of food you eat and the amount of exercise you put in, it can sometimes be a bit tricky to anticipate exactly how much exercise is required. With Easter just around the corner we thought it would be helpful to give you a real life gauge on how much cardio you'll need to put in to get the most out of your Easter binge session. Starting at the very bottom of the chocolate egg scale is the mini solid egg, around four of them equate to 550 kilojules. After eating only four mini solid chocolate eggs that contain 550 kilojules you'll need to run for at least 40 minutes to melt the calories away . A 67-kilogram woman who ate only four of these snack sized treats would need to vigorously walk for around 40 minutes before the guilt, and the calories melted away. A man weighing in at around 80 kilograms could achieve the same in 30 minutes. Any child, or grown adult for that matter, out on an Easter scavenger hunt is sure to come across a chocolate replica of the Easter bunny himself. You would need to run for about half an hour to burn off a hollow chocolate egg . What you’ll be surprised to find is that a medium chocolate bunny contains around 4400 kilojules that won’t burn themselves off. If you chose the humble kayak as your weapon against weight gain, ladies you'd be expected to paddle for at least three hours to burn that bunny off. Gents you've lucked out in this department and will only have to spend around two hours in the water. If cycling is more your style, then men you'll need to spend just under two hours pedaling and ladies, you'll need to put in just over that for that bunny to be history. If you wanted to munch on a small bunny there’s no avoiding the 2212 kilojules that come with it. Ladies, you could hop in the pool and swim for just over an hour, or guys just under an hour, before that bunny would have melted away. If you've taken home a large chocolate bunny you can expect to spend at least three hours playing squash before you have worked off the 11060 kilojules added to your daily intake. For those who like their Easter with all the trimmings can expect to spend around three and a half hours on the squash court for women and just under three hours for men, before they’ll be able to burn off a large bunny which adds around 11060 kilojules to your daily calorie intake. Chocolate isn’t the only temptation around Easter time with two hot cross buns containing around 1800 kilojules, and that's without any butter or jam! Fruit hot cross buns will have you hitting the pavement for an hour- and that's if you forgo the generous layer of butter! For those who can go without the extra spread you’ll need to run for about 40-50 minutes to work them off. For those who can’t, expect another 30 minutes of cardio before the calories are gone! If you thought classic hot cross buns were bad, wait until you’re faced with 1030 kilojules of choc-chip hot cross bun- and that’s just for one! Men will need to salute the sun for around an hour and fifteen minutes with ladies putting in an hour and a half of yoga before the singular bun will vanish! Hot cross bun's calorie laden, choc chip counterpart will require around an hour and a half of yoga before it's completely gone!

A balanced diet can get harder to achieve around the holiday times . To keep healthy it's important to maintain regular exercise . To burn off four mini Easter eggs you'll need to exercise for 40 minutes . A large Easter bunny would have you on the squash court for 3 hours . Those who eat hot cross buns would spend an hour hitting the pavement .

Some clubs celebrate titles with an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas. Others opt for Dubai. As for Martin Allen and Barnet, they will land in Benidorm on Wednesday afternoon as Conference champions. Regaining their Football League status after a two-year absence came down to 90 minutes against Gateshead. Win, and the title was theirs. Lose or draw, and it went to Bristol Rovers. There was to be no drama in this finale, yet manager Allen expected nothing less. The man known as Mad Dog predicted they would win promotion to League Two long before it was confirmed on Saturday. Barnet celebrate with the Conference trophy after securing a return to the Football League . Mauro Vilhete (right) scored a brace for Barnet as they overcame Gateshead to secure promotion . The title-winning victory ensures Martin Allen's fourth spell in charge of the club would be his most successful . 'Nobody expected us to do it,' said Allen, currently in his fourth spell in charge of the club. 'The bookmakers never said we would do it. The pundits and the experts said we would be nowhere near it. 'I knew a week before the season started we were going to be champions. I just knew it. There was no-one that could stop us. No way. 'We had too much power. We had too much pace. We had too much of everything. Privately and quietly behind the scenes, I knew that we were going to get 90-plus and win the league. It was obvious to me.' No-one told those in Bristol that. Rovers ended their season with a 7-0 humiliation of Alfreton Town with six different players on the score-sheet, but finished a point behind Barnet. They will have to make do with the play-offs, with their semi-final first leg away to Forest Green Rovers on Wednesday. There were no twists or turns in north London, where Gateshead played their part in the script to perfection. Barnet took the lead in the 25th minute after Mauro Vilhete was gifted a free header. No reaction from Allen. No clenched fist. Nothing. He simply turned away, and walked back to his seat. Yet, when Vilhete's second in the 48th minute all but confirmed they were champions, Allen let loose. Full time was greeted by the almost obligatory and seemingly inevitable pitch invasion, and the celebrations will stretch all the way to Alicante. Barnet manager Allen celebrates with goalkeeper Graham Stack after securing the Conference title . Despite promotion to League Two, Allen's on-off relationship with Barnet could see him leave the club for a fourth time. Their chairman Anthony Kleanthous will join him in Spain this week, having likened his manager to a girlfriend you cannot get rid of. Allen agrees. 'I think I owed the supporters something,' he said. 'Walking out of the relationship, ditching them, going for money, which is what I have done. I never made any secret of that. 'My future? I'm going to Benidorm on Wednesday. The only thing I've got to think about at the moment is what sun factor to use in Benidorm.' At this point, a journalist asks whether that is an open invitation, to which Mad Dog replies: 'No. It's only for the champions, and you're not a champion.' Fortunately for Barnet, they are, as they wave goodbye to the non-League and hello to sunny Spain. Barnet players will celebrate their promotion with a team trip to Benidorm on Wednesday this week .

A brace for Mauro Vilhete sealed a 2-0 win for Barnet over Gateshead and a return them to the Football League next season . The Bees clinched the Conference title ahead of Bristol Rovers . Manager Martin Allen has revealed the club will be celebrating with a holiday to Benidorm .

The altercation took an unusual turn when Mr Weller and other onlookers spotted a woman approaching the scene, armed with two rubber sex toys. 'Out of nowhere this other woman joined the fray with a dildo in each hand,' Mr Weller said. 'She was swinging them about in the air threatening people who were standing around. 'It was just so weird to watch. My friends and I had no idea what was going on. We tried talking to her but she was seriously out of it at that stage.' Grafton Police confirmed they attended the scene however no one made a formal complaint about the woman or her strange choice of weaponry . He described the woman as Caucasian, of slight build, aged in her late 20's or early 30's. Mr Weller said there were at least five or six girls fighting on the streets before police arrived. 'There was 20 or 30 people standing around it trying to break it up or having their own little altercations alongside. 'As soon as the cops arrived everybody sort of dropped their drinks and cleared off.' Grafton Police confirmed they attended the scene however no one made a formal complaint about the woman or her strange choice of weaponry. A spokesperson from Roches Family Hotel denied there was a fight outside the venue, instead claiming it was 'just a heated discussion between a couple of people that spilled on to the street'. 'It was cleared up pretty quickly as soon as the police arrived on scene,' they told the Examiner.

It was supposed to be a joyous Easter Sunday celebration, but the brunch turned into yet another drama for Tori Spelling, who suffered an accident causing her to be hospitalized. According to eyewitnesses at Benihana's Japanese Restaurant in Encino, California, Tori, hubby Dean McDermott, their kids, Liam, Stella, Hattie and Finn, and a few other guests, had enjoyed their Easter brunch, when Tori tripped and fell onto a hot Japanese style grill used to prepare food in front of customers. Tori had been laughing and having fun with her family at Easter brunch,' says a source, 'when she got up to leave and tripped, falling backwards on to a scorching hot grill. She shouted out in pain from a large burn on the back of her right arm. Scroll down for video . White hot: Tori Spelling was a trouper and stuck through her family brunch at Benihana restaurant in LA. But once outside she was seen inspecting the bad burn on her right arm . Tori's doctor's determined she had a severe burn and suggested they remove the damaged skin and graft skin from another area of the body, a source tells Daily Mail Online. 'She questioned if it was absolutely necessary but doctors said she risked severe infection and scarring if she didn't act right away' Tori was eventually taken to the Grossman Burn Center at the West Hills Hospital for treatment. It was determined that she needed skin grafts . 'You could tell she was hurting, but she was trying to put on a brave face for the sake of her four young children who were quite obviously worried,' says the source. 'Dean looked upset too, but you could tell they were doing their best to stay calm and not alarm the children.' Tori posted this cryptic message on her Instagram following the incident:  Perfect @Easter Sunday. Aside from the Benihana Burn! According to sources, Spelling went home and tried nursing her injury herself, but by the following day she was in so much pain she went to her doctor who ordered her to immediately undergo treatment at the Grossman Burn Center in West Hills, California. 'Tori's doctor's determined she had a severe burn and suggested they remove the damaged skin and graft skin from another area of the body,' says a source. 'She questioned if it was absolutely necessary but doctors said she risked severe infection and scarring if she didn't act right away. Dean looks on concerned as Tori inspects her burned arm . Tori and family and a friend  were set to enjoy a wonderful Easter Brunch at Benihana restaurant . Tori posted this cryptic message on her Instagram following the incident . 'She underwent a skin graft last week and must now spend several days recuperating. Friends are praying for her to make a full recovery.' The Grossman Burn Center was founded by the late Dr. Richard Grossman, who treated many badly burned LA firefighters and plane crash victims over the years. He was also famous for helping comedian Richard Pryor heal after he set himself on fire while free-basing cocaine in 1980. Today Richard's son Dr. Peter Grossman heads up the facility his father began. The 41-year-old 90210 star has had a tough time these past few years. She suffered heartbreak in 2013 after discovering her husband of nine years, actor Dean McDermott cheated on her, and the painful journey to mend their marriage was documented on their reality show, True Tori. In addition, Spelling, who turns 42 next month, has been embroiled in an on-again-off-again feud with her super rich mother, Candy Spelling, that left her feeling abandoned by the Spelling family matriarch. She's also suffered extreme pain due to a neck injury, but refuses to have surgery to repair the problem. And just last week rumors began circulating that her 48-year-old husband may have cheated on her once again – this time with his 52-year-old ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace. 'Tori could certainly use a bit of good luck in her life for a change,' says the source. 'And we all hope she will pull through this latest incident the way she's managed to pull through the other set - backs in her life.'

A family brunch with Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott and their four kids turned into a disaster . Tori's heel caught as she was walking out of Benihana restaurant in Encino and she fell backward onto a hot hibachi . She was later taken to the Grossman Burn Center at West Hill Hospital . Doctors said she risked severe infection and scarring if she didn't act right away .

The stray dog was hit by a car, clubbed in the head and left for dead in a ditch in Washington state. Days later, the one-year-old bully breed mix showed up sickly and covered in dirt at a nearby farm. Now, the dog that defied death is recovering with the help of good Samaritans and veterinarians at Washington State University. Scroll down for video . Survivor: Ryann Simmons sits with the dog his girlfriend is fostering at their home in Moses Lake, Wash. The dog, Theia, survived being run over, beaten with a hammer and buried, and now needs surgery . Heroic: Theia, a 1-year-old bully breed mix was hit by a car and then struck in the head with a hammer and buried, but she managed to dig herself out . Hanging on: A driver hit the dog with a car -- and that person proceeded to strike the dog. The dog appeared to be hit with hammer in a mercy killing. The dog used to roam the streets getting scraps of food from people in Moses Lake, a farm town about 100 miles west of Spokane. About a month ago, she was struck by a car. Then things got worse: Someone cracked her in the head with a hammer and placed her in a box in a farm field. But the dog somehow survived and was discovered at a nearby farm with a dislocated jaw, leg injuries and a caved-in sinus cavity. The wounds helped veterinarians piece together what happened, including the hammer blow. 'I'm assuming that the person who did this meant to put her out of her misery,' said Sara Mellado, who learned about the dog's plight on Facebook and took the animal into her Moses Lake home. She named the dog Theia. Recover: Theia is scheduled to go into surgery in a few weeks time after raising money through crowdfunding . New lease of life: Theia, who truly rose from the grave, rarely stops wagging her tail . Back on all fours! Theia's injuries include a dislocated jaw and multiple bone fractures around her nasal cavity, which makes it difficult for her to eat and breathe but it looks as though she is truly on the mend . 'Considering everything that she's been through, she's incredibly gentle and loving,' Mellado told The Associated Press. 'She's a true miracle dog, and she deserves a good life.' Theia is receiving care at WSU's Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Pullman. A CT scan of her skull revealed a condition that constricts the nasal passages, restricting air flow into the lungs, said veterinary resident Andrea Sundholm, who's assisting with Theia's treatment. It was caused by multiple nasal bone fractures. When Theia tries to draw air in through her nose, she's forced to open her mouth to breathe instead. But with a dislocated jaw, that is challenging as well. Theia's jaw is healing on its own, but the nasal-bone fractures have caused lasting problems, Sundholm said. Fixing that will require surgery to insert a stent, she said. Help out: Mellado has raised more than $12,000 towards the dog's surgery using the crowdfunding website GoFundMe. So far, contributions have come from Moses Lake, Washington State University and elsewhere . Ouch! X-rays of Theia's skull show the damage that was caused by everything she went through . The veterinary hospital's Good Samaritan Fund awarded $700 to help pay for Theia's early treatment. Mellado has raised another $10,000 for the surgery through a crowdfunding website, and is planning to call WSU to schedule the procedure. The university said despite her injuries, Theia is friendly and likes to kiss people's cheeks. Mellado said she has been deluged with calls from people seeking to help. Theia is staying with Mellado's family until they find her a permanent home. 'She's a puppy,' Mellado said. 'She's outgoing, lovable, up for meeting new people.'

A beloved dog was believed to be killed by a driver, but days later, she showed up . Left injured after being run over, someone attempted a misguided mercy killing and beat the dog in the head with a hammer . Now named Theia, her surgery will cost upward of $9,000 .

Students, parents and staff at a Melbourne high school are horrified after the discovery students have been drinking treated sewage water from a bubbler on campus for more than a year. In a letter sent to all parents during the school holidays, the principal of St Peter’s College in Cranbourne East, Tim Hogan admitted that ‘Class A’ recycled water had been inadvertently connected to an outdoor drinking fountain. The bubbler had been dispensing recycled water for 16 months– from December 17 2013 until April 1 2015. ‘The cross-connection came to our attention through the maintenance staff of the College on the 30th of March, 2015,’ Mr Hogan wrote in the letter, issued on April 14. Unfortunately for students, ‘Class A’ recycled water is sewage that has been treated to a standard that’s safe for watering gardens, washing clothes and flushing toilets. Students at Melbourne high school St Peter's College were drinking from a bubbling dispensing recycled water for more than a year . Although it is the highest quality of recycled water, the water that the students had been consuming is not considered acceptable for consumption. Whilst drinking the water, the students would have been at a greater risk of contracting gastroenteritis or diarrhoea due to the possible presence of a parasite, Cryptosporidium. An investigation has been launched by the Department of Health and Human Services to assess the extent of the possible health impact on the students. The principal assured students, parents and staff that the drinking fountain was shut down on April 1 and is no longer in use. The other 20 bubblers at the school have been tested and none show traces of recycled water. The ongoing investigation will determine the number of students who have drunk from the water foundation since it became contaminated. Although it is the highest quality of recycled water, the water that the students had been consuming is not considered acceptable for consumption . ‘The Department has advised that drinking the Class A recycled water may have led to a slightly increased risk of gastro,’ the principal warned. However, preliminary testing of the chemicals present in the drinking water from the bubbler found that ‘the vast majority were at very low concentrations’, meaning the student were unlikely to have been harmed from consuming the water. Daily Mail Australia spoke with a number of parents of St Peter's students. All the parents were unaware of any cases of gastro or anyone who believed they'd been adversely affected by the bubbler. A Health Department official will be on site at the school on Thursday April 16 to respond to concerns the parents may have. ‘If anyone is suffering from a gastrointestinal illness and experiencing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain, they should seek advice from their GP,’ Mr Hogan advised. Families and staff are being encouraged to contact the Department of Health & Human Services on 1300 761 874. Whilst drinking the water, the students would have been at a greater risk of contracting gastroenteritis or diarrhoea due to the possible presence of a parasite, Cryptosporidium .

The heartbroken grandmother of a toddler who died of massive head injuries after her drug-addicted mother and violent partner forced her to ride a motorbike that repeatedly crashed has wept with relief at a coroner's findings. Little Chloe Valentine, 4, died of massive head injuries after being forced to ride a motorbike that repeatedly crashed over a three-day period in the backyard of her Adelaide home in January 2012. Her mother, Ashlee Polkinghorne, and her then partner are in jail after pleading guilty to Chloe's manslaughter through criminal neglect. In an emotional statement outside the Adelaide inquest on Thursday, Chloe's grandmother Belinda Valentine welcomed Coroner Mark Johns' ruling that Families SA was broken and fundamentally flawed and that the agency's lack of action over Chloe's mother's drug use was a complete failure. 'The sun comes up tomorrow even though you don't want it to,' Mrs Valentine said. At an inquest into her death on Tuesday authorities said social workers missed the chance to save Chloe Valentine, 4, who died of massive head injuries in 2012 . In an emotional statement outside the Adelaide inquest on Thursday, Chloe's grandmother Belinda Valentine welcomed Coroner Mark Johns' ruling that Families SA was broken and fundamentally flawed . The inquest has heard Chloe was forced to endure chronic neglect at the hands of her drug-using teenage mother Ashlee Polkinghorne (left) and her partner Benjamin Robert McPartland (right) 'We are actually the lucky ones, because we had Chloe in our life', her grandmother said . 'We are actually the lucky ones, because we had Chloe in our life. 'She loved us, and we loved her very much. 'She will always be our four-year-old, but as we move forward she will always come with us. In a scathing verdict, the coroner found social workers 'flagrantly disregarded' their legal responsibilities to seize children from neglectful parents. Mr Johns said nothing short of a 'massive overhaul' was required by the agency. '(Families SA) took the path of least resistance, and the whole history of its dealing with Ashlee is a history of drift, irresolution and aimlessness,' he said. Mr Johns described Polkinghorne as an 'accomplished and manipulative liar' who easily fooled her case workers. 'Ashlee was given virtually limitless opportunities to address her problems,' he said. She was often given the benefit of the doubt by social workers, who helped clean her house and avoided confronting her about her drug use. Polkinghorne was also provided with three supported accommodation sites and government-subsidised childcare. The young girl was forced to ride a motorbike for days on end by her drug addicted mother and her partner . Chloe died in 2012 from head injuries sustained after being forced to ride a motorbike three times her weight for days on end by her drug addicted mother Ashley Polkinghorne and her partner at the time . Belinda Valentine said she repeatedly begged authorities to take Chloe off her parents and into her care . He said the agency made a 'mistake' when they declared it was unnecessary to drug test Polkinghorne, a known amphetamine user, and condemned the 'rigid' agency's failure to consider Chloe's grandmother as a potential guardian. Before Chloe died, Families SA received 20 abuse notifications from friends and family concerned about the girl's filthy, transient and unsafe living conditions. Handing down 22 recommendations to improve the system, Mr Johns said there had been a lack of analysis, lack of clinical supervision and a lack of leadership. During the inquest, counsel for Families SA, Michael Grant, said it wasn't clear whether Chloe would have been saved if the agency had intervened more forcefully. 'Families SA does operate in a hideous and imperfect world,' he said. 'It's not certain, in my submission, what would have happened if that circuit breaker had been applied.' The South Australian government is expected to respond to the coroner's finding later on Thursday. Mrs Valentine said the coroner's recommendations 'can be taken now'. Belinda Valentine (left) has slammed Families SA saying they could have saved her granddaughter Chloe Valentine's (right) life . Ms Valentine said she called social worker Leanne Stewart from the scene of a domestic dispute pleading to take Chloe away from Ashley . However Ms Stewart (pictured) denied in court that such a phone call ever took place . A comprehensive review of Chloe's case had made clear that a 'circuit-breaker' was needed to save the girl from the chaos in her life . The coroner has asked why Chloe's mother Ashley was repeatedly given the benefit of the doubt . Families SA received 20 child abuse notifications during Chloe's short life from witnesses concerned about the girl's filthy, transient and unsafe living conditions .

A coroner found child protection agency broken and fundamentally flawed . Chloe Valentine died from head injuries in 2012 after falling off motorbike . She was forced to ride it by her drug addicted mother and her partner over three days . Coroner condemned Families SA's dealings with Chloe's mum . Their interactions involved a 'history of drift, irresolution and aimlessness' Coroner recommended 22 changes to the government . Grandmother Belinda Valentine said the families could now move forward . 'The sun will rise in the morning, even though we don't want it to' 'We are actually the lucky ones, because we had Chloe in our life'

Brisbane's Anglican Archbishop has joined a local Catholic priest in calling for Queensland's controversial 'gay panic' homicide defence to be scrapped. Speaking after his Easter Sunday mass, Archbishop of Brisbane Phillip Aspinall said he supported Father Paul Kelly in his calls for the Homosexual Advance Defence to be removed from Queensland common law. The defence means a murder charge may be reduced to manslaughter if the defendant establishes their victim 'came on' to them, and the killing was in self-defence. Brisbane's Anglican Archbishop has supported calls for Queensland's controversial 'gay panic' homicide defence to be scrapped . 'I think Father Paul Kelly is on the right track, well and truly,' Dr Aspinall said. 'I don't think it's reasonable to murder someone who approaches you sexually. Violence is never a constructive response.' Dr Aspinall also appealed to those who resorted to violence at recent anti-Islam rallies, as well as a individuals behind an apparent spate of church vandalism in Melbourne. 'Whenever people feel threatened, there is a natural human tendency to react out of fear,' he said. 'That's exactly what we have to resist.' Archbishop Phillip Aspinall said he supported the calls for the Homosexual Advance Defence to be removed . Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane Phillip Aspinall baptises an infant at an Easter Sunday mass in Brisbane . Scores of worshippers congregated at Brisbane's St John's Cathedral to mark the most important date on the Christian calendar. Incense mingled in the warm Queensland air as Dr Aspinall urged followers to honour the spirit of resurrection in their everyday lives. 'When mistakes we make bring things off the rails and it looks like were going to land in a mess of guilt and shame - there is life beyond all that,' Dr Aspinall said.

A mysterious ‘warm blob’ of water off the West coast of the US could explain why states like California are experiencing their worst ever drought, while the East is battered by freezing weather. The blob in the ocean was discovered last year, with temperatures one to four degrees Celsius (two to seven degrees Fahrenheit) above surrounding ‘normal’ water. And the blob has now extended about 1,000 miles (1,600km) offshore, from Mexico up to Alaska, and could herald a warmer summer for some regions. Scroll down for video . A 'blob' of warm water 2,000 miles across is sitting in the Pacific Ocean (shown in diagram). Since last June it has extended from Alaska to Mexico. It has been present since 2013 and causing fish to seek shelter elsewhere. And a new University of Washington study says it could be responsible for droughts . A new study by the University of Washington found that a high-pressure ridge could be causing the blob, by trapping heat in the water. In June of last year, the huge patch of water stretched 1,000 miles (1,600km) in each direction, and was 300ft (90 metres) deep. Dr Nick Bond, a climate scientist at the University of Washington, coined the term ‘the blob’ in June. Since the year 2000, seven western states in the US has seen their driest periods in centuries: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. And scientists in California have warned that the region may be experiencing a century-long 'mega-drought'. The warnings came after sediment studies showed California is currently experiencing the driest spell since 1580, and that the regular rainfall seen during the last century is likely to have been a temporary deviation in a cycle of droughts and very occasional rainfall over the last 3,000 years. In 2013, California received less rain than in any year since its formation as a state in 1850. However droughts lasting more than 100 years are far from unheard of in the state. Looking back over several thousand years, droughts have been known to last over a decade, and in some cases they can last a century. And the patterns tend to repeat, meaning another drought of this length will probably happen again in the future. Ten months later, the blob is now squashed up against the coast, and Dr Bond says all models point to it continuing through the end of this year. ‘In the fall of 2013 and early 2014 we started to notice a big, almost circular mass of water that just didn't cool off as much as it usually did, so by spring of 2014 it was warmer than we had ever seen it for that time of year,’ said Dr Bond. Researchers said it may have contributed to the state of Washington's mild 2014 winter and might signal a warmer summer. But exactly how this area of warmer water has formed, or how long it will stay, remains a mystery. One thing that can be studied, though, is its effects. As air passes over warmer water and reaches the coast it brings more heat and less snow, which the scientists say helped cause current drought conditions in California, Oregon and Washington. The researchers said that it might not only be causing warmer temperatures on the West coast, but also cooler temperatures on the East coast. It could also be playing a part in circulating cold and wet air to the central and eastern states of the US. California's drought (stock image shown left) is one of the worst on record, while the East coast of the US (Central Park in New York shown right) has seen unusually cold temperatures . It is also having an effect on marine life. Fish have been spotted in unusual places, supporting recent reports that West coast marine ecosystems are suffering and the food web is being disrupted by warm, less nutrient-rich Pacific Ocean water. Dr Bond noted that, while this phenomenon likely wasn’t caused by global warming, it could be a sign of similar weather to come. ‘This is a taste of what the ocean will be like in future decades,’ Dr Bond said. ‘It wasn't caused by global warming, but it's producing conditions that we think are going to be more common with global warming.’ The 'blob' is also having an effect on marine life. Fish, like the Thresher Shark (shown), have been spotted in unusual places, supporting recent reports that West Coast marine ecosystems are suffering and the food web is being disrupted by warm, less nutrient-rich Pacific Ocean water .

Sweden’s passport has been named the most powerful in the world, but it turns out it’s also one of the most highly sought-after travel documents on the black market. The latest research suggests Swedish passports are among the most frequently sold in underground trading, as there is no upper limit on the number of replacements available to the rightful holder. They can sell for as much as £6,000 each – far more than the £28 fee that Sweden’s government charges for new or renewed travel documents. Sweden's passport was among the most frequently sold travel documents on the black market . The findings are contained in a new GoEuro infographic which ranks the world’s most powerful passports and takes a look at quirky facts . When placed under an ultraviolet light a Canadian passport displays colourful images on its pages, including the Parliament building in Ottawa. The Finnish passport displays a walking moose when the pages are flipped, while the cover of Belgium’s passports offer three different sequences of languages, starting with Dutch, French or German. Meanwhile, the British passport is also one of the most powerful travel documents on the planet, but it doesn't come cheap. Britons have one of the most powerful passports in the world, allowing visa-free access to 174 countries . The study suggests that UK travellers are paying some of the highest passport costs in the world, with fees being far less in places such as Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, Czech Republic, China and Russia. Research by travel website GoEuro found that the British passport is the 11th most expensive of 51 countries included in the study, and it takes a worker earning minimum wage 11 hours to pay it off. The UAE has the most affordable passport at just £9, while Turkey has the most expensive at £166, said Berlin-based GoEuro. Based on its research the travel website named Sweden's passport the most powerful in the world. It allows visa-free entry into 174 countries – the same as Finland, Germany, the UK and the US – but was ranked No 1 by the website due to its cost. Swedes pay just £28 for a passport, with GoEuro claiming that it takes only one hour for the average worker to pay it off. Sweden doesn’t have a legal minimum wage, and salaries are determined through collective bargaining. When cost is used as the deciding factor, the UK passport is the fourth most powerful in the world – behind Sweden, Finland and Germany – with a fee of £73. In Liberia, it would take a worker earning minimum wage 278 hours to pay off the country's £33 passport. And it appears travellers around the world would love to get their hands on a UK passport. In a recent poll 20 per cent of those surveyed said they would choose a UK passport if they could get an extra nationality in addition to their own, even though it is one of the most expensive in the world. It was followed by passports for the US (18 per cent), Switzerland (17 per cent), Germany (10 per cent) and Canada and Australia with nine per cent each.

A British passport allows for visa-free access to 174 countries . That is tied for the most, with Finland, Germany, Sweden and the US . UK passport was 10th most expensive of 51 countries included in study . The UAE, China, Russia and Czech Republic all pay less than the UK .

Benefits and welfare schemes are often blamed for making people less likely to want to work. But a study has found that the opposite may be true. A Europe-wide survey of 19,000 people revealed that the more a country paid to the unemployed or sick, and invested in employment schemes, the more likely its residents were to want a job. A Europe-wide survey of 19,000 people revealed the more a country paid to the unemployed or sick the more likely its residents were to want a job. In Norway, which pays the highest benefits in Europe, almost 80% of people wanted a job. In Estonia, one of least generous, only around 40% did . In Norway in particular, which pays the highest benefits in Europe, almost 80 per cent of people wanted a job, . By contrast in Estonia, one of the least generous countries, only around 40 per cent did. The survey was carried out by sociologists Dr Kjetil van der Wel and Dr Knut Halvorsen from Oslo and Akershus University College. They examined responses to the statement: 'I would enjoy having a paid job even if I did not need the money' put to the interviewees for the European Social Survey in 2010. People who are hungry are more inclined to support of the welfare state policies that help the poor. The extraordinary results of a recent study from Aarhus University found that the state of our bodies has a significant influence on our position on specific political issues. Researchers said people's support for apparently altruistic policies of wealth redistribution is not so much a reflection of concern for the poor but 'rather a strategy for securing further resources for themselves.' And they their findings could revolutionise perceptions of how people come to adopt a political stance, with our ideological views apparently swayed by basic biology. These responses were then compared with the amount the countries spent on welfare benefits and employment schemes, while taking into account the population differences between the member states. The UK was average for the generosity of benefits, which was reflected in the percentage of people agreeing with the statement at almost 60 per cent. The researchers also found that governments that intervene to help the unemployed find work made people in general more likely to agree that they wanted work even if they didn't need the money. 'Many scholars and commentators fear that generous social benefits threaten the sustainability of the welfare state due to work norm erosion, disincentives to work and dependency cultures,' the researchers said in the paper, 'The bigger the worse? A comparative study of the welfare state and employment commitment'. 'A basic assumption is that if individuals can obtain sufficient levels of well-being - economic, social and psychological - from living off public benefits, compared to being employed, they would prefer the former. The UK was average for the generosity of benefits and this was reflected in the percentage of people wanting to work - at 60% (stock image pictured). The study also found that governments that intervene to help the unemployed find work made people more likely to say they wanted work even if they didn't need the money . 'When a 'critical mass' of individuals receive public benefits rather than engaging in paid work, the norms regulating work and benefit behaviour will weaken, setting off a self-reinforcing process towards the 'self-destruction' of the welfare state. They also said that this may be because people who receive generous benefits when out of work may feel more inclined to give something back to the state by striving hard to find work. 'The notion that big welfare states are associated with widespread cultures of dependency, or other adverse consequences of poor short term incentives to work, receives little support.' The paper was published in the journal Work, Employment and Society.

Dog walkers have been warned about deliberate attempts to kill their animals after cocktail sausages laced with poison were found at a popular walking spot. A clutch of sausages stuffed with poisons were found on the Cuckoo Trail, a path running from Hampden Park to Heathfield near Hailsham. The grim discovery comes after a spate of dog poisonings in nearby Brighton and Hove, and dog owners are now being warned by Sussex Police to be aware when they are out walking their animals. A man out walking his dog found a clutch of cocktail sausages with poisonous pellets inserted into them . The cocktail sausages were so densely packed with the poison that eating just one could have killed a dog. They were found hidden among grass on the trail. Photos of the Cuckoo Trail sausages were posted on the Doggy Style pet service page. The post said 'Walking along the Cuckoo trail in Hailsham at approximately 6pm this evening, I have found a quantity of cocktail sausages that appear to have a as of yet an unknown substance deliberately inserted into them. 'So this post is hopefully to help make other owners aware of the possible dangers. The sausages were loaded with the poison (left) and found hidden among the grass (right) on the trail . 'Thankfully I have a search dog that is able to indicate if something doesn't smell right, but please watch any dog off the lead as they were not in eye sight but easily consumed and in multiple places along the trail. 'Hopefully this is the action of some bored mis-guided youth, (which I'm sure this isn't the case!) but personally I find this premeditated, calculated with actions of someone who knows what they are doing.' Dogs that have been poisoned may show the following symptoms; . * Vomiting . * Diarrhoea . * Seizures . * Blood in the stool . * Lethargy . * Loss of appetite . * Bruising . * Nosebleeds . * Discoloured gums . If dogs display any of these symptoms they should be taken to a vet straight away. If possible take the packaging or sample of the poison with you. Do not attempt to medicate dogs yourself, or encourage them to vomit using salt water. If the skin or fur is damaged wash them with a mild shampoo and rinse well with water. Keep poisoned dogs away from other animals to avoid cross contamination.

A nine-year-old girl was attacked by a lion that was being walked like a dog by circus entertainers who had brought their show to a quiet Siberian village. The girl is in hospital after she was savaged by the animal in Namtsy, in the Sakha Republic in Siberia - one of the coldest regions in the world. Photographs show the lion being walked around by a worker for a circus that had been visiting the village.

In another she is shown walking the animal and appears to be attempting to drag it across a wet and icy road using a makeshift leash. The circus is believed to have left Namtsy - also known as Yakutia - abruptly after the incident. The girl was walking home from music school with her mother when she was attacked, the Siberian Times reported. Gavril Kolpashnikov, the girl's father, said: 'I was fishing, and got back at night. I saw my child in a horrible condition. To put it mildly, stressed. She's shocked. 'The child is still shaking, she's not of those brave kids.'

A huge Marine Corps helicopter made an emergency landing on a Southern California beach on Wednesday, bringing no damages or injuries but leaving an unforgettable spectacle for surrounding swimmers and sunbathers. The CH-53E Super Stallion landed on the shore of this northern San Diego County town shortly after 11:30am after a low oil-pressure indicator light went on in the cockpit, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar said in a statement. The 100-foot copter is twice the size of the humpback whales that sometimes wash up on surrounding shores. It crouched on the sand below a bluff and only a few yards from the surf line, dwarfing surfboard-topped lifeguard vehicles parked nearby. Scroll down for video . Makeshift airport: A Marine Corps helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing on a Southern California beach Wednesday morning . Emergency light: The CH-53E Super Stallion's crew landed on the beach in northern San Diego County after a low oil-pressure indicator light came on the in the cockpit . Clean up: The crew and other local authorities cleaned up oil on the beach which dripped from the plane after the landing on Wednesday around 11:30am . Bing Bush and his wife, Julie, who live in a cliffside complex overlooking the beach, were in for a surprise when they stepped out their front door. 'We were just coming down for a beach walk - we come down here quite a bit - and lo and behold there's a chopper on the beach,' Bing said, after posing for a photo in front of the chopper with his wife. 'We thought maybe it was a movie shot or a movie set or something like that.' The precautionary landing came during routine training, Gunnery Sgt. Donald Bohanner said. The Marines and a local hazardous materials team removed oil that leaked from the copter to the beach, Bohanner said. All good: No one was injured in the landing and the helicopter was fine to later take off and return to Miramar Air Station . Mammouth: The CH-53E Super Stallion is the largest and heaviest helicopter currently being used by the U.S. military . 'There was no injuries, no damage to any property, no injuries to any civilians, which was an awesome, awesome thing right there,' Bohanner said. J.D. Kalt, a 10-year-old who came to the beach with his mother and some friends to check out the helicopter, was amazed by its size.

A volleyball-playing feline was picked to star in a national TV advert after seeing off competition from thousands of gifted animals. Tortoiseshell Mimi became an internet sensation after her owner uploaded clips of her playing the sport to Facebook. The 30-second-video was shared by thousands of people around the world and features the one-year-old cat playing with 15-year-old Joshua Teague. Joshua’s dad Phil, 56, a computer programmer, bought the cat with his wife Christine, 45, when she was eight-weeks-old in December 2013 from a seller who lived in Birmingham. Mimi was picked to star in the TV advert, which was broadcast last Wednesday (15), after Phil shared the video with the Pets at Home Facebook group earlier this month. He said: 'All the family were really excited to see the advert. Mimi the cat appears in a 30-second video showing her unique ball skills . 'We had everyone around so we could watch it together and we told all our friends that it was going to be on. 'I am really proud that our video was chosen out of thousands of entries. 'It was completely by chance that I uploaded the video on to the Pets At Home Facebook page. The cat is seen playing volleyball with 15-year-old Joshua Teague in the hallway . Mimi was picked to star in the TV advert after Phil shared the video with the Pets at Home Facebook group . 'I just saw something on there asking people to share videos and pictures of their pets so that’s what I did. I didn’t even realise it was a competition. 'The video showed Mimi playing volleyball with my son where he would throw the ball at her and she would keep batting it back. 'I had no idea it was competition so I thought it was a joke when I received an email on April 1 saying our video had been chosen for a national commercial. Mimi is seen in the video batting the ball back to Joshua every time he throws it her way . 'This kind of thing just never happens. 'She is a very talented cat. She has done many times since. 'I think she could get her own TV show.' Administrative assistant Christine said: 'I didn’t even know Phil had uploaded the video on Facebook so I thought it was an April Fools’ joke when he told me about it. 'We normally just skip the adverts when we watch programmes but we made sure to watch this one. 'Although she’s only in the advert for a few seconds, it’s nice to see her on it. 'I never thought when I filmed the video that it would end up on TV.'

Several Facebook users have left comments roasting the Hogs Breath, located north of Brisbane, for the embarrassing mistake. One jokes: ‘How long is the Buy one salad, Get one plug free meal offer valid till?’ While another suggests Hogs Breath’s new slogan could be ‘We provide everything from salad to the kitchen sink.’ Facebook users were quick to ridicule the steakhouse franchise after seeing a picture of the embarrassing incident . Hog's Breath Cafe Australian general manager Ross Worth said he had taken immediate action to make sure an instance like this will never happen again. ‘We have moved to ensure every plug has been chained to the sink,’ he told News Limited. He said the plug in question was from a sanitised ice bath that is used to wash lettuce and tomatoes. While social media users may have taken the incident lightly, Mr Worth said he had taken the issue ‘very seriously’. ‘We alerted the health department and have had them go in and check everything is up to scratch there, which of course it is.’ Mr Worth said he reached out and apologised to the woman who was served the unusual side.

That's not a light lunch, it's just bad lighting, say administrators at a Virginia School standing up for their FLOTUS approved school meals. A concerned mother took a photo of her child's lunch consisting of a dull looking fish fillet, a whole wheat bun, and corn and then posted it to social media this week. Virginia’s Portsmouth Public Schools say that their lunches are in compliance with Michelle Obama's federal lunch rules. Scroll down for video . Look appetizing?: A corned mother took a photo of her child's lunch, a dull looking fish fillet, a whole wheat bun, and corn and then posted it to social media this week . Reasoning: Virginia’s Portsmouth Public Schools say that their lunches are in compliance with Michelle Obama's federal lunch rules . After the photo began circulating the web, Food Service Coordinator Jim Gehlhoff said the lunch was 'concerning' but that it may not actually be as bad as it looks, reports EAG News. 'Poor lighting and food presentation make this lunch unappealing,' he said in a statement released to the media. 'The meal in this photo and other meals served by Portsmouth Public Schools meet nutritional and USDA requirements,' said Gelhoff. According to the school district's lunch menu from their website, Tuesday’s lunch options included spicy Cajun fish with brown rice, a cold cut turkey sandwich, a chef's salad, fresh orange or canned fruit, and 1 per cent skim milk. Wavy took a poll asking people if the though the lunch seemed acceptable and 92.3 per cent of people who voted didn't believe that the lunch looked palatable. 'No child should go to school hungry – it’s that simple,' committee chair Rep. John Kline said at a House Education and Workforce Committee this week. 'Today’s discussion is not about whether we agree on this basic principle; I am confident we all do. Instead, our discussion today is about beginning a larger effort we will continue in the coming months to ensure the best policies are in place to help reach this goal,' he continued. Another paltry lunch: This lunch posted in October shows another American student's dissatisfaction with the school meal . Squeamish: This school lunch allegedly shows a maggot found in a child's green beans . The School Nutrition association doesn’t think Michelle Obama's lunch regulations are to blame but they think a funding increase is needed for the National School Lunch Program. ‘That will help school food authorities afford the foods that we must serve, but unfortunately that won’t make students consume it,’ SNA President Julia Bauscher said during testimony. ‘And that’s what we’re also focused on…finding ways to ensure students will eat the healthy foods that we’re making available to them and not throw it in the trash.’ Two months ago Michelle Obama again came under fire for the 'shortcomings' of her Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act scheme. Students and parents posted photos of Michelle Obama's 'measly' school lunches in February and in October of last year. The images, which were all posted on Twitter with the hashtag #ThanksMichelleObama, range from a slice of moldy salami in a wrap and a green hotdog to a small portion of salad with a side of cheese, to a maggot found in a child's green beans. Filling?: Another student posted this dissatisfying lunch to their Twitter last year .

A brand new £4million apartment block in a World Heritage Site is facing demolition after residents complained that it was four feet wider than approved. Landmark Developments Ltd tore down a derelict property in Bath city centre and replaced it with a modern block of 14 flats. But residents complained that the development was three feet higher and four feet wider than the plans approved by the council. A brand new £4million apartment block in Bath (pictured) is facing demolition - because it is four feet wider than approved . Bath and North East Somerset Council says the developer has committed a 'breach of planning control' and ordered the building to be bulldozed. Dr Douglas Bernardt, a local resident with a PHD in architecture, described the situation as 'madness'. He said: 'I don't know how it was possible that things have got to this stage. 'Lots of money will have been spent on this and I can't understand why it was built different to what they had permission for. It's total madness. 'Architecturally I think there is nothing to complain about. The flats look nice, it's not aggressive to look at.' But Architect David Hadfield claimed the building was 1.5ft higher and just under three feet wider in some places than the approved plans. He said: 'Late in the design process the building’s insurers insisted on the introduction of a steel frame which resulted in the increase in width, and improved noise separation increased floor thicknesses adding to the height.' Planning permission for the development at 43 Upper Oldfield Park was granted in 2009 following three rejections since 2007. Planning permission for the development at 43 Upper Oldfield Park was granted in 2009 following three rejections since 2007 . Bath and North East Somerset Council says the developer has committed a 'breach of planning control' and ordered the building (right) to be bulldozed . The average price of a two-bedroom flat in the area is £289,000, meaning the 14 flats would be worth at least £3.9million on the open market. In October last year - as the building neared completion - residents complained that it differed from the approved plans. Bath and North East Somerset Council halted construction and ordered Landmark Development to apply for retrospective permission. Planning officers said they thought the work was 'acceptable' and said permission should be granted. But the council's Development Control Committee disagreed and rejected the proposals on April 17, giving the developer six months to demolish the building. Architect David Hadfield submitted this drawing of the development showing the approved height and width in grey and the existing building in bold . The committee said it felt the development was 'harmful' to the character and appearance of the conservation area. Landmark Development is appealing against the decision and a meeting will be held next week. Marc Willis, who is the developer's planning consultant, described the council's decision as 'unreasonable'. He said: 'The report suggests the complete demolition and it must be done within six months. The developer is very concerned and is doing everything to stop it. 'The planning officers said the plans were okay, but the council said no. The idea that they have ignored the officers is just wrong. 'We have been in constant dialogue with the council. Demolition goes well beyond what is needed to remedy the issue. 'There are 14 flats which should be on the market now, but you can't move in without planning permission. It is an expensive and unnecessary position to be in. 'If the council followed its officers, we wouldn't find ourselves in this situation. There would be significant work to do, but we consider a demolition is unreasonable.'

Egypt's former president Mohammed Morsi has been sentenced to 20 years for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters in 2012. But a court in the country's capital Cairo acquitted the 63-year-old leader of charges that would have seen him face the death penalty. Fourteen others were convicted on the same charges, with most also sentenced to 20 years in jail. Scroll down for video . Jailed: Egypt's former president Mohamed Morsi (pictured at an court appearance in December) has been sentenced to 20 years for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters in 2012 . But the court cleared the defendants on charges of inciting murder over the deaths of a journalist and two protesters during the December 5, 2012 clashes outside the presidential palace in Cairo. Defence lawyers said they would launch an appeal against the convictions. Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, came to power following the 2011 ouster of Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising. But after just a year in power, Morsi was himself toppled by then-army chief and now President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi following mass street protests. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has been blacklisted and targeted in a government crackdown that has seen hundreds killed and thousands thrown in jail. Other Brotherhood leaders have been sentenced to death and Tuesday's decision to acquit Morsi on the incitement to murder charge was unexpected. 'This is a surprise... We were expecting them to be convicted of murder,' Ramy Ghanem, a lawyer for an anti-Morsi protester who was wounded in the clashes, told AFP. Buses were set ablaze during 2012 clashes between opponents and supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria . 'But the sentences are not bad. We were expecting life in prison, but then 20 years is not very different,' he said. A life sentence in Egypt is 25 years. Hundreds of Morsi supporters have been sentenced to death in speedy mass trials which the United Nations has called 'unprecedented in recent history'. Earlier this month, a Cairo court confirmed death sentences for Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and 13 others over protest violence. The Brotherhood had called for protests in support of Morsi on Tuesday. 'The coup commander is exploiting the judiciary,' it said in a statement ahead of the verdict, referring to Sisi. It said the president was using the courts 'as a weapon in the battle against the popular will and the democratic and revolutionary legitimacy represented by President Mohamed Morsi.' Morsi is facing two other trials in which he could face the death penalty, including one that sees him accused of spying for foreign powers. Verdicts in those two cases are due on May 16. Sisi has vowed to 'eradicate' the Brotherhood, an 85-year-old movement that topped successive polls between Mubarak's fall and Morsi's presidential election victory in May 2012. Supporters and opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood clashed during 2012 street battles in the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria . The authorities designated it a 'terrorist group' in December 2013, making even verbal expressions of support punishable by stiff jail terms. The crackdown sparked a fierce backlash including from jihadist groups, who have claimed a string of deadly attacks on security forces. Officials say more than 500 police and soldiers have been killed in attacks since Morsi was overthrown. Sisi was elected president in May last year, but he faced no serious challengers and - in a country where the army has been in power for decades - his victory dashed hopes raised by Mubarak's ouster of a civilian democracy. Sisi's regime is popular among many Egyptians tired of political turmoil and seeking stability and economic growth. But Sisi has been accused of repression and his crackdown has also targeted secular and liberal activists who spearheaded the 2011 uprising against Mubarak. In November, a court dropped murder charges against Mubarak in his own trial over the deaths of hundreds of protesters in 2011.

Haul: The cherry picker collecting drugs from the roof of HMP Altcourse in Liverpool . The amount of drugs being thrown over the fence into one prison is so high that warders have been forced to deploy a cherry picker to remove them. Packages containing heroin and cannabis were cleared from the roof of HMP Altcourse in Liverpool - hurled there from the outside by friends of inmates who missed their intended targets. The hydraulic crane also recovered so-called 'legal highs' as well as 22 phones, three Sim cards and six chargers from the 60ft roof, contained in a total of 14 bubble-wrapped packages. Officers at the jail, privately run by controversial firm G4S, disclosed the haul in an internal document, which dramatically highlights the extent of drug use among the jail's 1,300 inmates. Dave Thompson, director of the Category B prison, said: 'These items were thrown over the prison walls by criminals on the outside and it required a cherry picker and staff to retrieve them from inaccessible rooftops.' Altcourse, the first prison in the UK to be designed and constructed for a private operator, has been criticised for drug-related violence. After a three-day visit last June, chief inspector of prisons Chris Hardwick wrote: 'There have been 38 serious assaults in just four months before the inspection. Gang issues and the availability of drugs, particularly new psychoactive substances [legal highs] were a significant factor in much of the violence.' G4S insists that Altcourse runs an effective anti-smuggling operation, and that the cherry picker is part of a 'high-visibility' approach to show inmates they will 'root out packages from anywhere'. 'We are committed to preventing drugs coming into our prison and we are encouraged that, at the same time as our seizures of banned substances have increased, the numbers of prisoners testing positive for them has come down,' said Mr Thompson.

Survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing returned to the site of the deadly blasts on Tuesday as they marked the second anniversary of the tragedy. Among them, the family of eight-year-old Martin Richard, the youngest victim to lose his life in the April 15, 2013 attack, headed to Boylston Street to help officials unveil commemorative banners. Four orange signs each bearing a white heart and the word 'Boston' were placed at the site. They were mounted on poles wrapped in blue and yellow flowers, the marathon's colors, to mark the tragedy that took three lives and left more than 260 others injured. Martin's older brother Henry and younger sister Jane, who lost a leg in the explosion, helped unwrap one of the flags on the street as bagpipes played during the low-key ceremony. Scroll down for video . Somber: The Martin family, whose son Richard was killed in the Boston bombings, walk down Boylston Street with Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, left, ahead of a ceremony to mark two years since the tragedy . Emotional: Jane, who lost a leg in the blast, shares a smile with her father while her mother wipes away a tear . Ceremony: Jane and Henry Martin remove a drape covering a memorial banner to honor the victims. In total, four large orange banners were unveiled near the explosion sites on Tuesday morning . Memories: The family takes a moment to reflect at the scene as a ceremony to mark the anniversary begins . The family of Krystle Campbell, who also died in the attacks, helped unwrap another banner with the help of Governor Charlie Baker. Also at the ceremony was Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs in the bombings. His ashen face was captured in a now-iconic photograph as he was wheeled away by strangers. One of those strangers, Carlos Arredondo, is now a close friend. Arredondo, who became known as 'the man in the cowboy hat' was also at the site on Tuesday morning to greet Bauman as he walked on prosthetic limbs. 'We're here to pay tribute to the people who lost their lives,' Bauman told WFXT-TV. They were joined by city officials including Mayor Marty Walsh and Governor Charlie Baker. At 2.49pm, a moment of silence was held to mark the moment the first of two bombs exploded near the finish line two years ago, while church bells sounded throughout the city. Well-wishers visited the site of the explosions throughout Tuesday to pay tribute to the young people who had lost their lives, and stopped to pay their respects at a memorial bearing their names. Mayor Walsh has declared April 15 'One Boston Day,' on which Bostonians are encouraged to perform random acts of kindness and generosity.

'April 15 is a date that has come to stand for our city's deepest values,' he said as he announced the new tradition. 'In many respects, those most affected by the events of two years ago have shown us all the way back - with their courage, grace and determination,' Governor Baker said in a statement released after the ceremony. 'They honor the past, remember and treasure loved ones lost and injured, and look forward to a better future. We should strive to do the same.' Another victim who lost a leg in the bombings, Rebekah Gregory, took to Facebook on Tuesday morning to describe her disbelief that two years had already passed. She was at the marathon with her young son, Noah, and was less than 10 feet from where the first bomb exploded. She needed 17 surgeries and eventually had her left leg amputated last year. Last month, she testified against the surviving bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, in his trial.

They have been placed at the top of lampposts, which have been decorated by flowers in blue and yellow - the marathon's colors . 'It is extremely emotional to look back on the last two years of my life,' she wrote. 'To remember what it felt like to be bleeding out on the pavement, wondering if I would ever see my child's smile again... 'It's been a long road. Some days, I'm not quite sure how I have made it out of the bed. And if I'm being really honest, a few times I haven't. 'But no matter what, there is one thing that I always keep in mind. I am BLESSED. And no matter how hard someone tries, they will never be able to take that away from me.' She plans to run the last three miles of the marathon next Monday. She also visited the site last year, but was pushed in a wheelchair as she struggled with issues with her leg. 'This time I won't be laying on the ground in pieces, or having to be assisted because I can't do things on my own,' she wrote. Support: A man wearing a shirt reading 'Boston Strong' and 'Survivor' walks near the ceremony on Tuesday . Respects: A passerby wearing a t-shirt honoring Martin pauses near one of the two explosion sites . Reflection: People stop by the memorial at the scene of the first explosion on the marathon route . Heartbreaking: A group of women gather near the site during the moment of silence on Tuesday afternoon . Powerful: A bunch of yellow and blue flowers lay at the scene of the first blast in Boston on Tuesday . 'This time...the only thing hitting the ground will be my running shoe, as I show myself and the rest of the world that I am back, stronger than ever....and there is NO stopping me now.' Three people were killed and more than 260 others were wounded in the April 15, 2013 attacks and the two bombers were cornered days later, after they shot dead an MIT police officer. One of the bombers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed during a shootout with police in Watertown. The surviving bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, was last week convicted of 30 counts during his federal trial. The jury is now deciding whether he should receive the death penalty but they have taken a break until next Tuesday. This year's marathon will be held next Monday.

Fans of the show might never see what’s going on – but a writer for The Archers has revealed that keeping a bed in the studio is essential for realistic sex scenes. Veteran scriptwriter for the Radio 4 drama, Keri Davies, said that having a divan to hand is vital to make post-coital conversations sound convincing. Speaking during an Afternoon Tea With The Archers event at the weekend, Mr Davies explained: ‘Sex is even harder, as it were. We do have a bed in the studio because your voice sounds different when you are lying down. A writer for The Archers has revealed that keeping a bed in the studio is essential for realistic sex scenes (file picture) ‘There will be a sound engineer in a Led Zeppelin T-shirt rattling the duvet!’ He added that parties in the fictional Ambridge are limited to nine attendees because of budgetary considerations. ‘Sometimes you will hear two people saying “oh we saw Barry the other day”, and that’s because we couldn’t afford Barry,’ he told the audience at Chipping Norton Literary Festival. ‘We can only have 39 actor bookings in a week, which is roughly six or seven in an episode. Sometimes if you have a big party you will have eight or nine, so it is up to us to decide with all of those restrictions how we are going to tell the tales.’ Actor Charles Collingwood, who joined the programme in 1975, also defended the show’s editor Sean O’Connor who has been criticised for ‘sexing up’ the traditional radio serial. He said Mr O’Connor ‘is bringing in really exciting stories’. Mr Davies added that parties in the fictional Ambridge (map pictured) are limited to nine attendees because of budgetary considerations .
