Since 2013, Dr Milton Wainwright has been trying to convince the scientific community that he has found aliens in Earth's stratosphere. Now the controversial British professor claims he has new evidence of these 'extra-terrestrial organisms' floating 25 miles (40km) above the planet. He says the organisms test positive for DNA, and have masses that are 'six times bigger than the size limit of a particle which can be elevated from Earth to this height.' Dr Milton Wainwright has been trying to convince academics that he has found aliens in Earth's stratosphere for several years. Pictured are one of the so-called 'ghost particles' that the researcher claims to be proof of extraterrestrial life forms. His views have been widely dismissed by the scientific community . The organisms, he claims, are contained in a microscopic metal globe designed by an intelligent species to 'seed' alien life on Earth. Dr Wainwright announced the discovery in an email to his students at Sheffield University, who posted it on Reddit. 'We sent balloons and a sampler and found no pollen or grass, nothing up there to contaminate, it was completely pristine,' Dr Wainwright told Jason Koebler at Motherboard. 'For these reasons, we think [the organisms] are coming from space,' he added. 'All the time when you walk outside, you are being pelted with organisms that come from space.' He said that his latest discoveries has been accepted in the journal Astrobiology and Outreach.

He says the organisms test positive for DNA, and have masses that are 'six times bigger than the size limit of a particle which can be elevated from Earth to this height' Dr Wainwright's research has been widely criticised by the scientific community as being backed by poor and flimsy evidence. 'The critics claim that the samples we obtained must have come from Earth, that it that there must be a mechanism which can lift these particles from Earth to the stratosphere,' Dr Wainwright told Dailymail.com. Panspermia is a theory that suggests life spreads across the known physical universe, hitchhiking on comets or meteorites. For example, life such as extremophiles, capable of surviving the inhospitable conditions of space, could become trapped in debris that is ejected into space after collisions between asteroids and planets that harbour life. These life-forms may travel dormant for an extended amount of time before colliding randomly with other planets. The idea of directed panspermia, however, suggests that lifeforms are deliberately sent out through the universe by intelligent civilizations . Professor Francis Crick, one of the biologists who discovered the structure of DNA, examined the possibility of this in a paper in 1973. However, Professor Crick and his ccolleagues concluded that the scientific evidence was 'inadequate at the present time to say anything about the probability'. 'However, we have provided evidence that the DNA-containing masses, plus other strange organisms we have isolated are not associated with pollen, grass and fungal spores on our sampler. 'If our organisms came from Earth

Summary: Radical claim made by Dr Milton Wainwright from Sheffield University . He used balloons to collect dust samples 25 miles (40km) above Earth . Claims to have discovered 'alien organisms' that test positive for DNA . His research has been widely criticised by the scientific community .


Crime and punishment: Erica Ginnetti, 35, has been sentenced to 30 days, house arrest and probation for having sex with a 17-year-old student . A disgraced Pennsylvania math teacher has been sentenced to 30 days in jail, house arrest and probation for having sex with a 17-year-old student and sending him X-rated photos. Erica Ann Ginneti, 35, a married mother of three from Philadelphia, pleaded guilty in December to institutional sexual assault and disseminating sexually explicit materials to a minor. The former math and calculus teacher at Lower Moreland Township School District had been facing seven to 14 years in prison, but on Friday Judge Garrett Page sentenced her to 3-23 months, including the first 30 days in jail and the next 60 on house arrest. She also faces three years’ probation, 100 hours of community service and will have to register as a sex offender for the next 25 years, according to The Intelligencer. Ginneti’s jail terms begins April 10. In court Friday, Mrs Ginneti wept as she read a letter of apology in hopes of offering the victim 'closure for this nightmare.' Prosecutors said the boy had seen his grades drop in his senior year and has been struggling with social interactions. The former educator described for the court how she has reconciled with her family and embarked on a new career as a fitness instructor. In her time off, she volunteers at a church, reported Philadelphia Inquirer. Judge Garrett Page told Ginneti he was certain she would continue to turn her life around, but he reminded her that her ill-thought actions had had devastating consequences. 'One bad day because of sexual hunger has resulted in all this avalanche of harm,' Page stated. He also chastised her for sending her male student explicit photos and videos of herself, which he likened to ‘dangling candy’ in front of the boy. The judge later clarified that he does not think the defendant is a 'bad human being,' but stated she must be punished for her ‘bad act.’ Ginnetti, pictured above with her husband, first approached her victim in May 2013 when she chaperoned the senior prom and invited him to come work out at her gym . Ginneti's attorney asked the judge to spare her jail time so she could care for her small children. She was fired by Lower Moreland Township School District after her arrest in January. According to investigators, the math and calculus teacher first approached the victim in May 2013 when she chaperoned the senior prom and invited him to come work out at her gym. A few days later the 17-year-old responded to Ginnetti with a text message, and the two began communicating on a daily basis. The criminal complaint against Ginnetti says that over the next several months, she sent the minor sexually explicit text messages, photos depicting her wearing bikini, a thong and other underwear, and videos showing the woman undressing suggestively and performing a sexual act on herself, according to The Bucks County Courier Times. According to officials, the illicit relationship culminated in July

A Coast Guard cutter arrived in San Diego on Thursday with more than 14 tons of cocaine, part of what authorities has described as a surge of seizures near Central and South America. The cocaine, valued by the Coast Guard at $424 million, was seized by U.S. and Canadian forces in 19 separate incidents in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. It included a 10½-ton bust from a coastal freighter, the largest maritime drug interdiction in that area since 2009. A crewman from the Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell guards some of more than 28,000 pounds of cocaine, seized at sea and offloaded at Naval Base San Diego on Thursday . The cocaine was seized by U.S. and Canadian forces in 19 separate incidents in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America . The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy ships have seized more than 28 tons of cocaine valued at $848 million in the eastern Pacific region near Central and South America in the last six months, resulting in 101 arrests. That's more than the 12-month period that ended in September, and U.S. authorities have called it the most successful run for drug seizures in the area since 2009. Suspicious vessels in international waters were tracked by military or law enforcement aircraft or vessels. Coast Guard personnel operating from Coast Guard cutters and Royal Canadian Navy vessels boarded the ships to seize the drugs. Thursday's arrival marked the second time that the Cutter Boutwell has returned home with a huge load of drugs. In October, its crew turned over more than 14 tons of cocaine to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Uber driver Emerson Decarvalho allegedly ran down a cyclist after a confrontation in the street . An Uber driver in San Francisco has been charged with assault after ramming into a cyclist who was shouting at him, leaving the biker with several broken bones, police and media reported. The incident occurred in the busy Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco when the cyclist rode up to the vehicle, yelled at the driver, banged on his window and pushed in his mirror, police spokesman Carlos Manfredi told AFP. 'During the exchange the cyclist sped up and the vehicle also sped up, striking the back of the bike,' Manfredi said. 'The cyclist sustained a punctured lung, broken ribs and a broken clavicle,' he added. The driver, Emerson Decarvalho, 38, stayed at the scene of the crash and was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after the incident, which took place Sunday afternoon. He was also charged with failing to maintain a three-foot (one meter) space between his car and the cyclist. Uber offered to help in the investigation of the incident. 'Our thoughts are with the victim of this terrible incident. We are gathering more information, have reached out to the San Francisco Police Department and will assist their investigation however we can,' said Uber spokeswoman Kate Downen. Uber said there was no passenger in the vehicle at the time. The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper said the cyclist was knocked unconscious and taken to hospital. Police said it was not clear what provoked the confrontation and said Decarvalho remained in custody. The crash occurred in San Francisco's famous Fishermans Warf area . Manfredi said the altercation took place in one of San Francisco's busiest neighborhoods. 'The location where it occurred is a highly dense area where people go out and a lot of tourists were out and about,' he said. Uber drivers must be 18 years old to join the service must agree to the company's terms and conditions, including agreeing to 'comply with all applicable laws when using the services.' The San Francisco company also requires that drivers do not 'cause nuisance, annoyance, inconvenience, or property damage.' About one million Uber trips are carried out daily in 295 cities in 55 countries. The company announced a worldwide code of conduct this year after an Uber driver was charged with rape in India in December. An Uber driver was arrested in Denver this month after he tried to rob the home of a customer he had dropped off at the airport.

Melissa Wilson and her team-mates are on the brink of making history. On Saturday, at the 161st Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race, the women’s crews will battle the same Thames course as the men, who will follow an hour later. After decades of campaigning and 88 years since the first women to race were jeered by male spectators, they get equal billing. And for Wilson’s grandfather, 85-year-old Richard Cowell, from East Kilbride, it will be a momentous day. He is not up to the journey to watch his granddaughter compete for Cambridge but will still see the race, which will be televised for the first time. Wilson, 21, said: ‘I remember when I was 14 watching with my dad and my brother and saying “Are there going to be women on?” They laughed — not in a malicious way — and said: “There aren’t any women, you could cox I guess”. So the fact that 10 years on there is a women’s race on the Tideway and I’m in it is pretty remarkable. It’s so wonderful that my grandfather will be able to watch it, too.’ Melissa Wilson (left) and Caroline Reid of Cambridge Women's boat crew at Thames Rowing Club in London . Clare Balding gave up her regular stint on Channel 4’s Grand National coverage to present the event because she wants to send a message about the importance of women’s sport. ‘It was a big decision to make,’ said Balding. ‘But there will never be another first women’s Boat Race on the Tideway.’ Her statement was welcomed by Caroline Reid, the Cambridge president. ‘It brings the attention of another audience, people who follow Clare,’ said Reid, 24. ‘Maybe people who support the Grand National disagree but they will at least be aware it’s happening and that is a good thing.’ Wilson, a third year English literature student and Reid, in her fifth year of veterinary medicine, rise at 5.30am each day for training, gym work and lectures, then it’s back out on the river in the afternoon. Cambridge Women's Boat Crew including Wilson (front) rowing the Thames . Reid, Claire Watkins and Wilson prepare ahead of the Boat Race next Saturday . Until this year, the women’s race was held a week before the men’s at Henley. The course was 1.2 miles compared with this year’s 4.22 mile battle from Putney to Mortlake. ‘At Henley it’s straight, so conditions are largely the same the whole way down,’ said Reid. ‘Tideway conditions change because the river bends. There’s a different mental and tactical side, which is exciting.’ But Reid refuses to be seen as a pioneer. ‘The first women’s race was in 1927 and there were a lot of people against it, talking about whether women should be rowing at all and what they should be wearing, so they were the pioneers. We’re just carrying on in their footsteps,’ she said.

Summary: After decades of campaign the women's crews are to make history . Boat Race set to take place on the River Thames next Saturday .

In custody: Dana Marie McKinnon, 24, has been charged with DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide in the 2013 accident that killed an Orlando businessman . A 24-year-old Florida woman has been arrested in connection to a 2013 drunken-driver crash that killed the CEO of a defense contractor. Dana Marie McKinnon, of Oviedo, was taken into custody Tuesday on charges of DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide. She is being held at the Orange County Jail on $10,150 bail. According to Florida Highway Patrol, McKinnon, then a 21-year-old student at University of Central Florida, was under the influence of alcohol when she slammed into the vehicle of 42-year-old Orlando businessman Vihn Vo on the morning of May 18, 2013. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, despite Good Samaritans' desperate efforts to save him. Officials say McKinnon was driving east along Lake Pickett Road at around 5.30am when she lost control of her 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse while trying to navigate a curve in the road. The college student crossed into the westbound lane and slammed head on into Vihn Vo's 2009 Toyota Sienna minivan, causing both vehicles to spin out. A couple who were on their way to Melbourne that morning stopped at the scene of the crash and rushed to Vihn Vo's aid. Horror crash: McKinnon was driving east along Lake Pickett Road at dawn on May 18, 2013, when she lost control of her 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse while trying to navigate a curve in the road . They tried to pry open the driver's door to extract him from the mangled white minivan, but their efforts failed. The woman then called 911, pleading the dispatcher for help. 'You need to hurry!' the woman said in a recording obtained by Orlando Sentinel after the accident. 'We don't have a pulse at the scene.' Paramedics responded to the crash within nine minutes of the frantic call but could not revive Mr Vo. Death trap: The college student slammed head on into Vihn Vo's white 2009 Toyota Sienna minivan, causing both vehicles to spin out. The man died at the scene . Dana McKinnon suffered minor injuries in the collision. Tests later showed that her blood-alcohol level at the time was .163 - more than twice the legal limit. On Tuesday, McKinnon surrendered herself at the county jail. WKMG reported that FHP troopers attributed the two-year delay in McKinnon's arrest to a prolonged investigation. According to an article in Bloomberg Business last February, Vinh Vo was the owner and CEO of Vector Planning & Services, a Virginia-based company founded in 1997 that provides IT services to the military and federal and state agencies. Last year, the defense contractor was forced to pay $6.5million to settle criminal and civil claims for double-billing the US Navy over the course of five years.

Politicians who begged Scotland to stay in the Union should not complain if the SNP calls the shots at Westminster after the election, Nicola Sturgeon said last night. Polling last night showed that the nationalists are extending their lead – threatening to all but wipe out Labour north of the border. But Ed Miliband yesterday refused four times to rule out going into a power-sharing agreement with the SNP if its MPs hold the balance of power for the first time. Scroll down for video . Boy, are we doing well: SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon campaigning in Irvine, Ayshire yesterday . During a visit to Lincoln, the Labour leader was asked repeatedly whether he was prepared to dismiss the idea of any pact. While he has rejected a formal coalition he did not address questions as to whether he was prepared to go into Downing Street propped up by Miss Sturgeon on a ‘vote-by-vote basis’. The SNP leader used a BBC TV debate on Thursday night to offer to ‘lock David Cameron out of Downing Street’ – even if Labour has fewer seats than the Tories in a hung parliament. She dominated the so-called ‘challengers’ debate’, and was deemed the best performer by 35 per cent of viewers to the Labour leader’s 29 per cent. Yesterday she said: ‘During the referendum campaign last year, we were told repeatedly by politicians who were trying to persuade Scotland to vote no – and they succeeded – that Scotland was an integral part of the UK, that our view mattered,’ Miss Sturgeon said. Sturgeon dominated the so-called ‘challengers’ debate’ on Thursday and her party is threatening to all but wipe out Labour north of the border . ‘It’s completely unacceptable now for those politicians to say, when Scotland is perhaps going to make its view heard by voting SNP, to say your voice can’t be heard in the UK.’ She said her MPs – who could number as many as 50 after May 7 – would vote to roll back reform of the NHS in England. Traditionally, Scottish nationalists have not voted on health and matters that do not affect their constituents, since they are controlled in Scotland by the Holyrood parliament. ‘Ed Miliband knows as well as I know that if there is an anti-Tory majority after the election, then the only way David Cameron gets back into Downing Street is if Ed Miliband is prepared to stand back and let him back in Downing Street,’ Miss Sturgeon told Sky News. ‘If Ed does that, then Labour voters in Scotland will never ever forgive him and I suspect Labour voters across the UK will never forgive him. Is he really saying that he’d rather watch David Cameron back into Number 10 than work with the SNP to keep him out of Number 10? That’s for him to answer. ‘I’m fighting for more progressive politics across the UK and I’m fighting to get rid of the Tories but crucially to see the Tories replaced with something better, something bolder something that’s going to deliver progressive

The remains of Friedrich Branft, 22, make the first complete skeleton to be recovered from the battle of Waterloo 200 years ago . The 200-year-old skeleton of a soldier killed at the battle of Waterloo has been discovered under a car park - just like Richard III - and identified by archaeologists. After a painstaking process historians identified the man as Friedrich Brandt, 23, a Hanoverian hunchback who trained in the East Sussex resort of Bexhill-on-Sea. Brandt, a member of George III’s German Legion, was killed by Napoleon’s forces and was found with a musket ball between his ribs, the Sunday Times reported. An archaeologist working for the Belgian government, Dominique Bosquet, called the find ‘unique,’ explaining that no complete skeleton had ever been retrieved from the battle of Waterloo. The mystery surrounding Brandt’s origins and identity was cracked by Gareth Glover, 54, a former Royal Navy officer and historian, who said Brandt would never have been allowed to serve, because of his deformity, under modern military standards. However his Hanoverian unit, loyal to the king, would have fought alongside British and Dutch troops against Napoleon . The skeleton was uncovered in June 2012 when a digger excavated a car park near the Lion’s Mound area at Waterloo battlefield just south of Brussels. It took three years of intense research and a little luck to pin-point Brandt’s identity. A piece of wood carrying the initials CB, and the date 1792 as well as 20 German and French coins amounting to a month’s wages and an iron spoon proved crucial. The team at Waterloo had to use the process of elimination to identify their unknown soldier and could not rely on DNA tests like those used by the group that discovered Richard III under a car park in Leicester in 2012. Because, unlike King Richard, none of Brandt’s relatives were known, historians had to use what little records remain from the 1815 battle at Waterloo to piece together the story. Bosque recognised the skeleton carried deformities indicating severe spinal issues. Further tests put the skeleton’s age at death between 20 and 29. The musket ball that killed the young soldier was found lodged between his ribs at the Waterloo battlefield . Killed apparently by a musket ball which was found between the recently identified soldier's rib bones . The team was ready to give up on the case until Glover, treasurer of the Waterloo Association and author of Waterloo: Myth and Reality, matched troop formations to where the body was found and was able to identify the fallen soldier as a member of the German Legion. Using the information he was able to calculate that the soldier was probably killed between 1pm and 4pm when his unit marched on a ridge at Hougoumont. Then in February an important clue was brought to light when a piece of wood originally believed to be inscribed with the initials CB actually showed FCB. The letter F had faded over time. Brandt was killed most likely between 1pm and 4pm at Lion Hill which now stands as

Summary: Expert identified man who fought with British troops as Friedrich Brandt . The remains are the first complete skeleton to be recovered from Waterloo . A piece of wood, a spoon and a month's wages turned out to be vital clues .


Sunshine smile: Judy Murray waves to the crowds . Her youngest son has only just tied the knot with his long-term partner Kim Sears. But Judy Murray has already wasted no time in revealing she simply ‘can’t wait to be a granny’. However, the tennis coach, who helped propel Andy, 27, and his brother, Jamie, 29, to sporting success, has a couple of caveats – he has to get the French Open and Wimbledon out of the way first. Mrs Murray, 55, who has carved out her own star status after appearing on Strictly Come Dancing last year, also said she would be a ‘very active granny’ and in the same way she coached her sons, she already has plans to introduce her grandchildren to tennis. She told Closer magazine: ‘I’m really looking forward to being a granny. I’ve always wanted to have grandchildren but I had to be patient and let them get married first. ‘I’m not sure when they will have kids as Andy has the French Open followed by Wimbledon, but I know he wants them. I will be a very active granny, that’s for sure – and I can’t wait to introduce them to tennis.’ Her words come only a few days after her son and his bride wed at Dunblane Cathedral on Saturday, drawing more than 3,000 well-wishers to the streets of his home town. Writing in the guest book of Cromlix House Hotel – a property Murray purchased in 2013 for £1.8million and where his brother got married – the happy couple thanked staff for their hard work around the top-secret event and signed as ‘Andy & Kimberly Murray’. The new Mrs Murray, who wore a flowing Jenny Packham gown, wrote: ‘Thank you to Graeme and every single one of you at Cromlix who worked so hard to make this weekend the best of our lives – a special place filled with very special people! X.’ The couple were among a handful of people who wrote in the public guest book at the hotel, which reopened to the public yesterday. Murray’s new in-laws, Leonore and Nigel Sears, wrote: ‘Thank you everyone at Cromlix for making it such a magical few days. You all make Cromlix such a special place where subtle magic happens xx.’ Glowing: Andy and Kim Murray after tying the knot at Dunblane Cathedral on Saturday.

Bryony Hibbert (pictured), 25, the girlfriend of the footballer caught having drunken sex in the dugout, has slammed those responsible for the clip . This is the first picture of the girlfriend of the semi-professional footballer caught having drunken sex with a female supporter in the dugout after his team's 4-1 defeat. Striker Jay Hart, 24, could be heard laughing on the mobile phone footage as he was caught romping with the mystery blonde in his club T-shirt with his tracksuit bottoms around his legs. He was dismissed after the sex clip of his tryst at Mossley AFC in Tameside was shared on social media and has now begged for his 25-year-old girlfriend Bryony Hibbert's forgiveness. The 73rd minute substitute for non-league Clitheroe FC, in Lancashire, today admitted he had no idea who the woman was and reached out to Wayne Rooney on Twitter for advice. Speaking for the first time since he was caught in the act, he said: 'All I want say is that I regret doing what I did. 'I was drunk, I'd had more than a few drinks, and I want to say I'm sorry to my family and everyone involved at Clitheroe. 'I regret that I did it, not that I got caught. 'I've spoken and tried to sort things out with Bryony . 'Everyone in the world knows about it, I just want to get my apology out there. 'I haven't seen the girl since, I don't have a clue who she is, don't have a clue.' His team had just suffered a 4-1 defeat at Mossley's Seel Park stadium in the final game of the season which was billed as a 'ladies day' to attract more female supporters. The face of the blonde fan cannot be seen in the close-up footage. Hart was sacked by the club, which play in Evo-Stik Division 1 North, within hours of the footage being shared to fans. His girlfriend Bryony Hibbert, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, who has two young children, slammed those responsible for filming and sharing the clip.

Greg Hardy has been suspended by the NFL after an incident of domestic abuse that allegedly occurred last year. Hardy, who signed with the Dallas Cowboys last month, will be forced to sit out the first 10 games of the season and will not receive his salary for these games. This comes almost one year after Hardy, 25, was convicted by a judge in Charlotte, North Carolina of beating, strangling and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend, Nicki Holder. Those charges were later dropped on an appeal when Holder could not be located to testify. Scroll down for video . The NFL announced today that Greg Hardy (above) would be suspended without pay for 10 games at the start of the 2015 season . Hardy (above) was convicted by a judge last July of beating, strangling and threatening to kill ex-girlfriend Nicki Holder . The decision to ban Hardy followed a two-month NFL investigation that started after the dismissal of his domestic violence case in February. Hardy was informed in a letter by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that the probe determined there was 'sufficient credible evidence that Hardy engaged in conduct that violated NFL policies in multiple respects.' Hardy was dropped by his previous team, the Carolina Panthers, because of these charges last season, but was still able to collect his salary during that time, which was roughly $770,000 a week. 'I understand that I need to step away from football right now and take care of this legal matter,' Hardy said in a statement after he was cut from the Panthers. The Panthers had originally agreed to wait to take action until Hardy had a jury trial regarding the incident in May. His previous conviction was the result of a bench trial. A jury trial that ultimately led to all charges being dropped.Holder told police that Hardy choked her, slammed her against a bathtub, threw her to the floor and threatened to kill her after a fight at his Charlotte condo. Holder (above with hardy) told police that Hardy choked her, slammed her against a bathtub, threw her to the floor and threatened to kill her after a fight at his condo . This all came at a time when the league was under heavy scrutiny in the wake of two abuse scandals involving stars Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson. Many were upset with the punishments those two received, feeling the NFL was too lenient. Video of Rice punching then-fiancée Janay Palmer went public last Monday, and Peterson was indicted on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child on Friday for an incident in which he hit his son with a switch back in May. Rice was definitely suspended from the NFL and had his contract terminated by the Baltimore Ravens, while Peterson, who was sidelined by the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday, has now been suspended by the team. Both men are expected by many to return to play in the 2015, with Peterson back on the Vikings after an NFL decision and Rice winning a wrongful termination suit during

Overcoming terminal cancer through healthy eating - that statement in print appears dubious at best. But it becomes completely believable when it is brought to life through the inspirational, optimistic, comeback story of a charismatic, beautiful, young woman named Belle Gibson. Belle cast a spell through her endearing vulnerability and charming personality, collecting an enormous social media following who were enamoured with her brave account of reclaiming her health. Wellness warrior Belle Gibson has admitted that she never had cancer and does not want forgiveness . Now that Belle has admitted she made her story up, we ask ourselves, how could we have fallen so hard for an account of what many have called a medical miracle, without a shred of supporting evidence? The answer is very simple. We wanted to believe. And we did not so much believe in Belle´s story, as we believed in Belle. Everyone loves a heart-warming account of overcoming the odds. We were enchanted by Belle´s journey, as well as by Belle herself. A beautiful, young, inspirational woman, we fell in love with her story as well as with her—which caused us even to downplay the rumours and suspicions of sceptics within the medical community as the fabric of her brave fight against cancer began to unravel. Here are five ways that the Belle´s of the world win us over. She founded the Whole Pantry - a book and app which over 300,000 people have downloaded . Appearances are Reality—and Seeing is Believing . Believe it or not, studies show that people cannot distinguish between behaviour that is honest and behaviour that is deceptive. This causes us to make the easier judgement—that other people are truthful. To make matters worse, when we like someone, we are likely to believe they are truthful, even when they are lying. How do we overcome the truthfulness bias? One way is to closely examine a person´s motives. When someone relays a heart-warming story, as Belle did, what is she getting out of it? While many people do not want to spoil a happy ending with a cloud of suspicion, examining prospective outcomes for the storyteller often raises suspicions about potential ulterior motives that might otherwise never come to light. Wendy L. Patrick PhD says we fell for Belle Gibson because 'we love heartwarming stories—especially comeback stories' Born to Bond - There is a Bit of Belle in All of Us . We love heart-warming stories—especially comeback stories. Especially when we feel an affinity to the heroine. We were Belle´s cheerleaders as she recounted her fight against cancer—using a weapon we all have at our disposal: healthy eating. Every one of us could be Belle in the future, because cancer strikes without warning. We loved walking along side her in her journey, recognizing there is a bit of Belle in all of us. We identified with her vulnerability, celebrated her success in regaining her health, and felt empowered by the recognition that although we each face different hurdles, if she could beat the odds, so can we. 'We loved walking along side

Summary: Wendy L. Patrick PhD is the author of Red Flags: How to Spot Frenemies, Underminers, and Toxic People . Dr Patrick has outlined the five reasons the we fell for Belle Gibson's story . Belle Gibson released a book and app about how she beat terminal cancer . This week she finally admitted she never actually had cancer .

It marks the moment when the civilised world entered the Dark Ages and some of the most spectacular societies in the world disappeared. Now one historian claims he has unraveled what may have lead to the downfall of Ancient Egypt and other Bronze Age civilisations collapse. He claims they were hit by a 'perfect storm' of disasters 3,200 years ago that left the Ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians, Minoans and Mycenians unable to cope. The Sphinx and pyramids at Giza (above) hint at the power of ancient Egyptian civilisation before it collapsed . As each of these great societies were interconnected, the collapse of one also affected the others, creating a domino-like effect, claims Professor Eric Cline, director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute at George Washington University. He claims that a series of droughts, famines, climate change, earthquakes, invasions and internal rebellions between 1225BC and 1177 BC happened in quick succession. Egypt's Old Kingdom - when most of the pyramids were built - collapsed more than 4,200 years ago because it failed to adapt to climate change, according to research. Scientists examined 7,000-year-old ancient pollen and charcoal samples from the Nile to piece together the time - and found evidence of a 'mega drought' in the the area. The droughts brought fires, famine and social unrest to the region. Pollen grains obtained from the bottom of the Sea of Galilee have also provided similar evidence that the region endured a 150 year drought between 1250BC and 1100BC. Scientists behind the study say there was a sharp decline around 1250 BCE in oaks, pines, and carob trees—the traditional flora of the Mediterranean in the Late Bronze Age. Plants usually found in semiarid desert regions increase while the number of olive trees - an important crop plant - also declined. Speaking to Haaretz, he said: 'Normally if a culture if faced with just one of these tragedies, it can survive it, but what if they all happened at once or in quick succession. 'I think that the Late Bronze Age civilisations were simply unable to weather the "perfect storm" and cam crashing down. 'The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium BCE, which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, long-used trade routes were abandoned, along with writing systems, advanced technology, and monumental architecture.' Professor Cline sets out his arguments in his recent book '1177BC The Year Civilisation Collapsed'. The claims the events that led up to the collapse of these civilisations marked a turning point in ancient history. The demise of the powerful ancient civilisations has long been blamed on a mysterious group of seafaring raiders known as the Sea Peoples. These marauding people have been credited with having invaded and destroyed large swathes of Ancient Egypt, Hittite, Mycenian and Mitanni kingdoms around the Mediterranean. A series of battles between the Egyptians and the Sea People's are depicted on the Medinet Habu wall relief at Ramesses III's tomb on the west bank of Luxor in Egypt. The Sea Peoples, shown here fighting ancient Egyptian forces, were widely

Summary: Historian Eric Cline at George Washington University says a series of disasters between 1225BC and 1177BC led to downfall of ancient societies . He argues that as they all relied on each other for trade the collapse of one society created a domino effect that resulted in the start of the Dark Ages . He makes the claims in his book 1177BC The Year Civilisation Collapsed .


Harvey Weinstein's wife Georgina Chapman today gushed online about her 'wonderful husband' - just days after it emerged he would not face criminal charges for allegedly groping an Italian model. In an apparent effort to push past the scandal, the British-born fashion designer, who turned 39 on Tuesday, shared an Instagram image of a large bouquet of flowers he had bought for her. 'Thank you for my beautiful flowers!!! #wonderfulhusband #birthday,' she wrote alongside the photo. Scroll down for video . Moving on: Georgina Chapman, who is married to Harvey Weinstein, shared this image to her Instagram page on Tuesday, with the caption: 'Thank you for my beautiful flowers!!! #wonderfulhusband #birthday . Scandal: Chapman, pictured with her husband in February, was reportedly 'furious' after he was accused of groping an Italian model in his Manhattan office last month and wants to put it behind her . The birthday gift comes four days after her Hollywood producer husband learned he will not face criminal charges after Italian model Ambra Battilana, 22, told police he had groped her. Battilana had claimed that the 63-year-old father-of-five touched her breasts and put his hand up her skirt during a 'business meeting' at his Tribeca Film Center office in Manhattan on March 27. The Manhattan District Attorney's office investigated the model's claims but announced last Friday that it has decided not to prosecute Weinstein. Weinstein, who had always maintained his innocence, could have faced misdemeanor charges of forcible touching or sexual abuse if the allegations proved true. Battilana reoprtedly refused to cooperate with authorities for four days after the complaint, which led to speculation she made the allegation in a bid to try and land a part in one of Weinstein's films. Once that 'pipe dream' came to nothing, she decided to cooperate and pursue the criminal case, according to sources. Claims: Italian model Ambra Battilana, 22, told police Weinstein groped her during a meeting last month . Denial: Weinstein, pictured last week, had insisted he had never touched the model and on Friday, yhe Manhattan District Attorney's office said it would not be prosecuting him . Weinstein founded Miramax with his brother Bob in 1979 and is worth an estimated $200 million. His wife founded the luxury label Marchesa. They have been together for seven years and have a young son and daughter. Last week, a source told the New York Daily News that Chapman had been 'furious' following the reports and had been intent on continuing with her work and avoiding further embarrassment to her young children. On Instagram, she has shared photos of her work in the run up to Bridal Fashion week. 'The countdown begins,' she wrote alongside a snap of some of her designs on Monday. '5 days until the reveal!! Excited!! #marchesa #ss16 #bridal.' 'Any suggestion that these flowers were for anything but Georgina's birthday is a complete fabrication,' said a rep from the Weinstein Company. Focused on her work: Last week, Chapman, who co-founded luxury brand Marchesa, shared this image of her working on designs for Bridal Fashion Week, with

Westerners fighting for ISIS are taking part in a sickening circle of violent one-upmanship in order to prove themselves to commanders who consider European militants little more than cannon fodder. Ranked well below battle-hardened foreign jihadis from warzones such as Chechnya and East Africa, the Westerners believe ultra-violence is the only way to make their name in Syria and Iraq. This would partly explain why so many Western extremists are eager to take part in the terror group's sickening propaganda releases, such as the seven savage filmed beheading videos featuring depraved British terrorist Mohammed Emwazi, also known by the name Jihadi John. Militants: Ranked well below battle-hardened foreign jihadis from warzones such as Chechnya and East Africa, Westerners believe ultra-violence is the only way for them to rise up the ranks in Syria and Iraq . Western fighters waging jihad in Syria and Iraq often appear disillusioned by the mundane jobs they are given upon arrival. British militants have previously been known to complain on social media about being ordered to clean toilets or wash the plates of senior terrorists. By far the most common job for Western jihadis, however, is guarding prisoners. While some complain that this involves little more than standing bored in a doorway or handing over meals, others have used their unlimited access to these defenceless so-called 'enemies of the state' to build a reputation for the kind of shocking cruelty and sadism ISIS commanders appreciate. One former prisoner has now revealed that many of the thousands of Europeans who have flocked to join ISIS over the past year have been shocked to find themselves marginalised within an organisation where Iraqi and Saudi nationals rule. 'They come expecting a heaven and when they see the reality they are shocked,' a Syrian former prisoner identified only by the name Omar told The Times. 'There is a hierarchy in ISIS and the foreign fighters and the Syrians are at the bottom of it,' he added, revealing that fighters from Tunisia consider themselves the group's military wing, while Saudis are largely dominate religious affairs. Doomed: The Syrian former prisoner, identified only by the name Omar, revealed he had been held for a short time alongside Kenji Goto before the Japanese journalist (left) was savagely murder by Jihadi John (right) Flying the flag: It is widely-understood that Britons travelling to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State are so unfit and badly trained that they are used as little more than cannon fodder . Omar, who was sentenced to death and spent six months in an ISIS prison 18 miles north of Aleppo before taking part in a daring but successful jailbreak three-months ago, also revealed that he had been held for a short time alongside Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. Goto was later transferred to another prison by ISIS' de facto capital Raqqa, before being savagely murdered by the aforementioned Emwazi on January 31. 'There are two ways to prove your allegiance to IS: either by getting married or by carrying out the punishments,' Omar said, using an alternative acronym for

Summary: Western jihadis are ranked well below Iraqi and Saudi nationals by ISIS . They are forced to cook and clean for the more experienced fighters . To prove their worth and build a reputation, European fighters treat their prisoners with shocking cruelty and sadism . Seen as the only way for inexperienced terrorists to climb the ISIS ranks .


Kellogg's is the latest US owned multinational to be embroiled in the controversy over tax avoidance in Britain . Kellogg's is the latest US owned multinational to be embroiled in the controversy over tax avoidance in Britain. The cereal giant warned shareholders its profits could be hit by government moves to close tax loopholes. Kellogg’s, which makes hundreds of millions of pounds each year from sales to British families, uses a complex web of companies to do business here. Its two main UK subsidiaries are owned by an operation based in the Republic of Ireland, where corporation tax is 12.5 per cent, compared with the UK’s 20 per cent. The latest figures show Kellogg’s effectively paid no corporation tax in Britain in 2013, as payments to HMRC by some of its offshoots were wiped out by tax credits elsewhere. These tax manoeuvres are perfectly legal. Kellogg’s has so far not faced criticism for its tax affairs in Britain, unlike Google, Amazon and Starbucks, which have come under fire for paying a minimal amount to the Exchequer despite huge sales here. But in its latest annual report the cereal-maker, whose worldwide sales last year hit £9.8billion, admitted ‘contemplated changes in the UK and other countries’ to ‘long established tax principles’ could have a ‘material impact’ on its business. It added VAT increases and other changes ‘may have an adverse effect on our business’. Kellogg’s has produced cereals in the UK since 1938, and says it has several hundred employees here. It sells in the UK through two main subsidiaries owned by Irish-based Kellogg Europe Trading Ltd. One is Kellogg Marketing & Sales, which distributes breakfast food for Irish and Swiss-registered companies, and reported sales of £622million to Britons in 2013. The second, Kellogg Company of Great Britain, makes cereals under contract for an Irish-based operation. These two subsidiaries paid corporation tax of £8.4million on profits of nearly £50million in 2013. Kellogg’s also has six Luxembourg registered companies which collectively paid corporation tax of £210,000 on profits of about £57million – a rate of 0.37 per cent. But this £210,000 and the £8.4million were offset by an £11.8million tax credit at another UK-registered operation, Kellogg Group Ltd. Kellogg’s said comments in its annual report are not related to Chancellor George Osborne’s ‘diverted profits tax’ – which aims to snare companies that shunt profits overseas with the main purpose of saving tax . A Kellogg’s spokesman confirmed the figures but said some profits through the Luxembourg business would relate to companies outside the UK. He declined to comment on whether Kellogg’s accepted it had in effect paid zero corporation tax in Britain, but said it is ‘a responsible taxpayer’. Kellogg’s said comments in its annual report are not related to Chancellor George Osborne’s ‘diverted profits tax’ – which aims to snare companies that shunt profits overseas with the main purpose of saving tax. Richard Murphy, of Tax Research UK, said: ‘It looks as if Kellogg’s is trading in similar fashion to many of the better known tax avoiders.’

Summary: Kellogg’s makes hundreds of millions from annual sales to British families . But latest figures show it effectively paid no corporation tax in UK in 2013 . Uses complex legal tax manoeuvres involving subsidiary companies . But new measures introduced by George Osborne set to close loophole .

A man who killed his friend, stuffed the body into a suitcase and threw it into a canal has been jailed for 19 years. Lorenzo Simon, 34, of Smethwick, West Midlands, and his girlfriend Michelle Bird used their friend Michael Spalding for slave labour before Simon killed him and dismembered his body. The 39-year-old's remains were stuffed into two suitcases before Simon and Bird threw them into Birmingham Canal, a court heard. Scroll down for video . Lorenzo Simon, (left) who killed Michael Spalding (right) before stuffing the body in a suitcase and throwing it into a canal, has been jailed for a minimum of 19 years . Police have now released CCTV video footage showing the pair dragging the cases along a pavement. Simon was found guilty of murder at Birmingham Crown Court today and Bird, while being acquitted of the same charge, was convicted of assisting an offender and sentenced to two and a half years. At a sentencing hearing, Mrs Justice Thirlwall told Simon: 'You had no thought for him at all. Your focus, as so often in your life, was on what was best for you.' Simon initially denied knowledge of Mr Spalding's death, claiming he threw him out following a row over a car crash, but later admitted assaulting him during a fight after police found tiny blood droplets on the flat's lounge wall. Neighbours reported seeing a bonfire in the rear garden following Mr Spalding's disappearance - a heat so intense it melted UPVC guttering fascias - and forensic examination of debris from an oil drum showed it to be part of the victim's humerus bone. Michelle Bird (pictured) was convicted of assisting an offender and sentenced to two and a half years . Police divers recovered the second case - containing the victim's head, limbs and tools - below Pope Bridge, Smethwick, on May 16 and further searches of the canal bed uncovered a hacksaw. Using futuristic 3D scanning technology - developed through a pioneering project with Warwick University - experts were able to show a perfect fit between the charred bone and a severed limb found in the suitcase. And the same scanning proved a link between the hacksaw and lacerations found on other bones. Drag marks were also found on the towpath near where the pair dumped the suitcases into the canal. Detective Inspector Harry Harrison from West Midlands Police said: 'Michael was exploited in life by Lorenzo Simon and Michelle Bird and they afforded him no dignity in death. On the contrary, they treated him in the most despicable manner in order to conceal their crime. 'Simon accepted Michael as a tenant on the agreement he used his considerable handyman skills to do up the flat. But he treated him like a slave, working him past midnight and then waking him early in the morning to continue working. 'They were only allowed out with his say-so and given just one meal a day - usually pizza and chips. 'Michael finally broke and complained at their treatment - we believe that, combined with

The mystery hero who raced to the edge of a cliff and pulled a driver from his precariously-balanced car has been identified as a 29-year-old man who fled the scene to go to work. Jason Warnock was named as the hero who rescued 23-year-old Mathew Sitko after he crashed his car on Wednesday morning, causing it to hang off a canyon cliff in Lewiston, Idaho.

He left shortly after pulling the man to safety . After he was named on Thursday, he met with the Lewiston Police Department for an interview and it emerged he had been working at the time of the crash and had to get back to his job. He told officers he had been traveling along a nearby road when he noticed debris in the road and the vehicle hanging near the edge of the cliff - so he jumped into action. He ran up to a pedestrian footbridge, climbed above the cliff face and then crossed an embankment to reach the vehicle. Once there, he tried to break the window, but couldn't. Instead, he calmed Sitko down and asked him to roll down the window, and he was then able to pull him out to safety. Afterwards, he took off. 'He said he had to go, and he left,' Lewiston police officer Eric Olson said.

The crash occurred about 8am Wednesday in Lewiston, at a drop called Bryden Canyon. Sitko had driven through a yard and over two terraces before getting snared in a chain-link fence. The fence is the only reason the car vehicle did not topple over into the canyon with Sitko still behind the wheel, police told the Lewiston Tribune. Police previously said the incident was triggered when Sitko had 'some sort of mental or emotional episode' and he only suffered minor injuries. Scene: Sitko crashed while driving along the winding road before crashing through the property and dangling over the edge of the drop. Warnock managed to reach him by climbing the pedestrian bridge, pictured . Witnesses say Sitko was driving erratically and swerved to miss another motorist when the crash occurred. It is

Ed Miliband has been accused of stooping to a 'shameful' new low by blaming David Cameron for the Mediterranean refugee crisis. The Labour leader used a keynote campaign speech today to suggest the deaths of hundreds of refugees fleeing North Africa could have been avoided if the Prime Minister had done more following his intervention in Libya to remove the former dictator Colonel Gaddafi. In a briefing note sent out before the speech, Labour went further - claiming the crisis was 'in part a direct result' of Mr Cameron's foreign policy. The allegation provoked a furious response from the Tories who this morning demanded that Mr Miliband apologise for the 'outrageous and disgraceful' remarks. Scroll down for video . Ed Miliband, speaking at Chatham House in central London this morning, has been accused of stooping to a 'shameful' new low by blaming David Cameron for the Mediterranean refugee crisis . David Cameron and the former foreign secretary William Hague, speaking in Lincoln today, were accused of neglecting Libya after helping to topple Colonel Gaddafi . It comes after Mr Cameron held emergency talks with EU leaders in Brussels yesterday over how to tackle the growing humanitarian crisis. The Prime Minister announced the deployment of one of Britain's biggest warships - HMS Bulwark - as part of beefed-up efforts to prevent more refugees packing onto tiny boats. Up to 1,750 refugees have lost their lives trying to reach Europe this year - out of around 35,000 who have tried to make the crossing. The vast majority of the migrant boats set off from the Libya, which has descended into chaos in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution which saw Colonel Gaddafi swept from power with the support of France and Britain. Over 200 illegal migrants were rescued by Italian Guardia di Finanza boat 'Denaro' in the Mediterranean Sea this week . The refugees will be shipped to the Italian mainland after being rescued by Italian coast guards . Mr Miliband today accused the Prime Minister of taking his eye off the ball by failing to secure a stable transfer of power in the wake of the uprising. The Labour leader said this failure had contributed to the crisis today. But the suggestion sparked a furious response from the Prime Minister today. Mr Cameron said: 'Let me be clear about what Ed Miliband has said. I have learned as Prime Minister that it is so important in a dangerous and uncertain world that you show clarity, consistency and strength on these foreign policy issues. 'People will look at these ill-judged remarks and they will reach their own conclusions.' Former foreign secretary William Hague slammed the 'ill-judged, opportunistic remarks'. He said: 'Foreign policy is not something that you can just discover 13 days before polling day. 'This is the first time in five years that Ed Miliband has troubled himself to make a full length speech on foreign policy.' Environment Secretary Liz Truss said Mr Miliband should withdraw the 'outrageous and disgraceful' remarks. 'Accusing the Prime Minister of causing these deaths - whether directly or
