'Double wife killer' Harold Henthorn wants to use a $1.5million life insurance pay out from a policy taken out on his second wife to pay for the defense in his trial for her murder. Henthorn was charged with the murder of second wife, Toni Bertolet, 51, last November and police have since reopened their investigation into the suspicious death of his first wife some 20 years earlier. Both women died in 'freak accidents' to which Henthorn, 59, was the sole witness. Dr Toni Jill Bertolet plunged 140 ft to her death shortly before their 12th wedding anniversary while hiking with Henthorn in a remote stretch of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. First wife, Lynn Rishell, was crushed to death under Henthorn's jeep when, according to Henthorn, the jack gave way as she reached beneath the vehicle for a lug nut while changing a flat tire at night on an isolated highway near the couple's Colorado home.

Henthorn was charged with the murder of Toni Bertolet, 51, last November and police have reopened their investigation into the suspicious death of his first wife, Lynn Rishell, some 20 years earlier . Lynn Rishell - Henthorn's first wife - was crushed to death under the front of Henthorn's Jeep when, he told first responders, the jack gave way as she reached under the vehicle for a lug night while changing a flat tire in the dark . In both cases Henthorn was the sole beneficiary of the women's substantial life insurance policies totalling $500,000 in the case of his first wife and $4.5million in the case of his second. Now, newly filed documents have revealed that he is fighting for a $1.5million pay out from the policy taken out in July 2001 on the grounds that he needs the money to pay for his attorney for the forthcoming murder trial scheduled to begin next month. The documents, filed yesterday and seen by Daily Mail Online, are part of a bitter civil case being fought in Douglas County .They note that, just weeks before he is due to stand trial, Henthorn is 'focused solely on his own desire to have the insurance proceeds disbursed to himself without any meaningful process.' They go onto state: 'Should Henthorn truly be able to substantiate an inability to afford counsel in the criminal matter, those matters are properly addressed in the criminal case pending in this District.' They point out: 'The Colorado Supreme Court has said: "Killers cannot receive life insurance proceeds from their victims" and insurers cannot disburse proceeds "prematurely", ….when law enforcement is still investigating or a prosecution is pending.' The next named beneficiary is his nine-year-old daughter with Dr Bertolet, Hayley. Dr Bertolet died on 29 September, 2012. The autopsy report, dated 18 December 2012, stated that she 'died as the result of multiple blunt force injuries when she fell or was pushed down a cliff while hiking.' It concluded, 'homicide cannot be excluded.' But when her husband submitted a claim for the life insurance death benefit policy almost exactly a year

Summary: Harold Henthorn is charged with murdering his second wife and being investigated over the similar death of his first wife . He has demanded that he gets access to the $1.5 million life insurance payout from his second wife's death to fund his defense . Prosecutors are opposing move to access the funds .

A controversial US pastor has defended trying to buy a $65million private jet with worshippers' donations and responded to critics by claiming 'the devil is trying to discredit' him. Reverend Creflo Dollar, 53, launched an appeal last month for 200,000 people to each donate '$300 or more' so that he could purchase a Gulfstream G650 to replace his current damaged aircraft.

The appeal: This notice was posted on the church's website, pleading for donations so that Dollar could 'continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ'. It has since been taken down . Dollar, who is one of the most prominent African-American preachers in the United States, launched the private jet appeal via a five-minute video on his website. Shortly afterwards, he shut the website down but worshippers could still donate to the cause via the World Changers donation site which remains open. In a newly posted five-minute clip on YouTube, the Atlanta-based pastor responded to his critics saying: '(The devil thinks) I got to discredit that man before he starts showing people Jesus! 'I'm on my sabbatical, and the enemy's trying to discredit me. I never one time came to you and asked you for a dime for this airplane, did I?

That's why they asked the question, what does a preacher need with an airplane? If you knew what we did, then you wouldn't ask that question. 'Just because the world doesn't have it, doesn't mean that you can't.' Dollar is the head of the World Changers Church International, a Christian ministry centered around the prosperity gospel, which preaches that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches. His original appeal for the Gulfstream G650 - which claims to be the fastest plane ever built in civilian aviation - was so that 'World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace'. A Gulfstream G650 can fly 18 passengers and four crew members, according to gulfstream.com. The jet comes with two Rolls-Royce engines, high-speed Internet and two multichannel satellites and allows for a four-and-a-half-hour commute from New York to Los Angeles.

Mothers and babies have been banned from special screenings at an independent cinema after staff became fed up with clearing away dirty nappies and oversized prams. The manager of The Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, cancelled the regular Tuesday baby matinees due to a combination of 'whingeing, bitching, snitching and the law'. James Hannaway, who restored and reopened the traditional cinema in 2004, announced the decision on the company's website. Scroll down for video . Ban: James Hannaway, manager of Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted, has banned babies from special screenings . He explained that the special screenings, which were introduced in 2007 after complaints over babies being allowed to all matinees, were to allow parents to enjoy adult films with their children. Mr Hannaway said he was fed up with the whingeing from those attending the screenings without babies, even though they declared they 'might contain babies'. 'Rex staff have enjoyed collecting still-warm nappies from under tables, and who put up with difficult first time mothers with armoured tanks (prams) and a not always helpful attitude as they spread everything from the tank everywhere,' he said. And Mr Hannaway also claimed that the cinema has been forced to reconsider over the ratings on the Tuesday films. He said: 'Those who threatened us with the authorities if little-faces turn up in prams for a 15 certificate. Clearly babies of 0 to six months are under 15. 'Thank you for such moral vigilance. There's only so much whingeing, bitching and snitching from all sides one can take. Eight years of it is enough.' Screenings: He says he has cancelled the baby matinees (stock image) due to 'whingeing, bitching, snitching and the law' The issue had been picked up by members of the public, including Teresa Boad, who wrote on social media that she had 'complained about this a few years ago'. Some have been left disappointed by the ban, blaming other parents. Gillian Walters said: 'Shame how some spoil it for others leaving dirty nappies under tables is disgusting.' Clare Ball posted on the cinema's Facebook page: 'Very, very, very sad to see Tuesday matinee times have changed to 2pm, see you in a few years when I no longer have school runs in the afternoon.' The 1930s original Art Deco cinema has one screen in its proscenium and was described by Visit the Chilterns tourist site as 'possibly Britain's most beautiful cinema'. It opened on May 9, 1938, with Heidi starring Shirley Temple and in the early 1970s the balcony was boxed off to create two screens in the upper circle. The proscenium was soon closed and turned into a bingo hall while films still played in the smaller upstairs screen. On February 28, 1988, the cinema was closed and it would be 30 years before a film would be projected onto the screen.

'We’ve made some exciting new changes to your Tinder profile including a slick, new Instagram integration and more common friends.' The firm said it made the changes after noticing many users put their Instagram user name in their profile. 'Now there’s no need to put your Instagram handle in your profile description to tell your story (we got sick of having to do that, too).' It also stressed that the app would not let other visitors to your Instagram feed know it was part of a dating profile.

The study, carried out by London-based research firm GlobalWebIndex, also found that six per cent of web users currently use a location-based dating app. Significantly, just a fifth of dating app users are paying for an online dating service,' co-authors Jason Mander and Felim McGrath said in the report. But now they have set a limit on the number of ‘likes’ a user can perform in one day - which seems to be set at 100. When a user reaches this limit, the app tells them ‘You’re Out of Likes’, and gives a countdown clock until 24 hours are up so they can start swiping again. But, below this clock, a big red button says ‘Get Unlimited Likes with Tinder Plus’. A

Ahead of the 79th edition of the Masters, Sportsmail counts down the 20 greatest shots ever seen at Augusta National Golf Club. Here are Nos 20-11. Mark O'Meara celebrates his winning putt in 1998 . 20 Mark O'Meara, 1998 . Aged 41, Mark O'Meara's chances of a major championship appeared to have gone despite a fine career and many victories on the PGA Tour. But O'Meara shot two birdies in three holes from the 15th on Sunday and a good approach into the 18th left him with a 20-footer to beat David Duval and Fred Couples. In the manner of his great friend Tiger Woods, he drained it. And he was soon handed his green jacket by Woods in the Butler Cabin. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO . 19 Billy Joe Patton, 1954 . Billy Joe Patton came within a stroke of perhaps the biggest Masters shock of all but narrowly missed out on a play-off with Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. But for a short while it had appeared that an amateur golfer could topple two of the greatest ever to play the game, thanks to his hole-in-one on the par-three sixth on Sunday. Sadly, Patton's hopes were ultimately shot down by a double bogey on the 13th attempting to fly Rae's Creek and reach the green in two.

Seve's second Masters victory featured what he called 'the best golf of my life' over the first four holes, and one 205-yard 2-iron on the fourth was utterly spectacular. But nothing quite sums up the genius of the late, great Spaniard than the way he clinched his four-shot victory over Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw. An up and down for a bogey would have comfortably sewn up his victory, but showman Seve was having none of it and chipped in for a par four. 17 Byron Nelson, 1937 . Byron Nelson found himself a somewhat daunting six shots behind Ralph Guldahl in the final round of the 1937 tournament. But his comeback was complete on the par-five 13th after he found the cup with a chip for eagle from off the green, while his rival could only manage bogey.

An New Jersey police lieutenant who pleaded guilty to a lewdness charge after allegedly masturbating in a Starbucks says his post-traumatic stress disorder is to blame. In May 2014, Benito Gonzalez Jr.,46, was suspended from duty after being arrested for allegedly exposing his genitals and touching himself inappropriately while seated at a table in a Cherry Hill Starbucks, police say. A surveillance photo posted to the Cherry Hill police Facebook page led to the 17-year Camden police veteran's arrest -- the photo has since been deleted and is now being used as evidence, the Courier-Post reports. Blame: Benito Gonzalez, 46 (photographed), who pleaded guilty to a lewdness charge after allegedly masturbating in a Starbucks says his post-traumatic stress disorder is to blame . The father-of-three was found guilty of the offense last month and is currently suspended without pay, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports . While county officials are working to fire the lieutenant's, the Post reports, Gonzalez claims the incident -- which he says he does not remember -- is the culmination of a three-year downward spiral following a traumatic experience more than three years ago, the Inquirer reports. It all began in June 2011 when Gonzalez, who ran the department's narcotics unit, had an encounter with a drug dealer, 32-year-old Adam Reed. In the altercation, Gonzalez dived to the ground, injuring his hamstrings, as Reed fired shots at him from a handgun. Reed then pointed the gun at Gonzalez's head and pulled the trigger. But the weapon malfunctioned, saving Gonzalez's life, and Reed was later sentenced to 66 years in prison, the Inquirer reports. 'I just saw my life completely over,' Gonzalez told the Inquirer, 'I thought I was dead.' Gonzalez's career seemed to flourish and the 46-year-old was even promoted to lieutenant in 2013. But Gonzalez said he used his job as a way to escape his crumbling mental health. Starbucks: Police Say Gonzalez walked into this Starbucks in Cherry Hill, while off-duty, pulled down his pants and masturbated at one of the coffee-shops tables . In evaluations after the incident, psychologists recognized that Gonzalez had issues linked to the trauma and reportedly gave him the task of deciding whether to stay with the department. He chose to stay and tried hiding his problems from his co-workers telling the Inquirer that he didn't want to seem 'weak' or incapable of dong his job. In the years following the incident, Gonzalez would be diagnosed with PTSD, suffer panic attacks, experience flashbacks of the traumatic incident, and even contemplate suicide. It was not long after considering suicide that Gonzalez, while off-duty, walked into the Starbucks on Route 70 and committed the lewd act. Gonzales claims he was intoxicated and in a blackout state as a result of the trauma and only remembers drinking before going to the Starbucks and returning home that night, the Inquirer reports. He said he did not know he had been at the Starbucks until police contacted him and told him he was being charged. Gonzalez is set to appear at an administrative hearing Wednesday where his attorney

Summary: Camden, New Jersey, police lieutenant Benito Gonzalez, 46, pleaded guilty to a lewdness charge after touching himself inappropriately in a Starbucks . Gonzalez says he does not remember the incident and claims it was the result of trauma from a near-death experience more than three years ago . Gonzalez, who is suspended without pay, is fighting for his more than $60,000 pension, but county officials are pushing for his termination .

Neymar published a photograph of himself with his fellow Barcelona attackers on Tuesday night as supporters debated whether this was the greatest forward line in the club’s history. The Brazilian captioned the photo of himself with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi: ‘Buena victoria chavaleeeeees .... Daleeee!’ The phrase translates: ‘Great victory lads... come on!' But the cheeky Brazilian had used the typically Argentine/Uruguayan expression ‘dale’ in reference to his two team-mates. Luis Suarez, Neymar Jnr and Lionel Messi pose for a picture in the dressing room after dismantling Getafe . Messi opens the scoring as he beats the keeper with a cheeky Panenka penalty . Messi celebrates after opening the scoring and setting Barca on their way to a demolition .

Suarez’s record in his last 10 games is nine goals and four assists. He has also created 20 chances in that time and when he scores Barcelona always win. He said: ‘We have to be on our game from the first minute in the remaining matches because we know that every rival between now and the end of the season will be motivated to beat us. But everyone here from the players to the staff and the supporters are giving everything. We know we are obliged to win things.’ Former Liverpool striker Suarez hooks a volley into the top corner to score his first of the night .

Luis Enrique said: ‘Xavi is loved here. He knows it. But we have to respect his decision [to leave at the end of the season]. He is 35 after all.’ Luis Enrique’s name was also chanted and he joked: ‘It is always the same 150 supporters that do that, I pay them.’The Barcelona coach was asked for his favourite goal of the six. ‘All of them’ he said. ‘I am struggling to remember any game with so many beautiful goals.’

Patrice Evra believes Juventus called upon quintessential Italian traits in securing their route to the Champions League semi-finals, describing the Sere A side's defeat of Monaco as 'ugly'. Massimiliano Allegri's team secured a 0-0 draw at the Stade Louis II on Wednesday night, meaning they progressed 1-0 on aggregate, after Arturo Vidal's second-half penalty proved the difference in Turin last week. Evra withstood a few nervous moments as Juventus sat back and allowed the French side to dictate the play, but after helping the Italians reach their first Champions League semi-final since 2002-03, the former Manchester United full back claimed that Ligue 1's elite clubs could learn from a more combative style of play. Patrice Evra prevents Monaco's Yannick Ferreira Carrasco from delivering a cross at the Stade Louis II . Evra is put under pressure by Monaco's Geoffrey Kondogbia during Wednesday night's quarter-final clash . 'I'm not scientist but for Paris Saint-Germain to lose to a big club like Barcelona and Monaco to lose to an experienced team like Juventus, but I think that in France we're okay being the country that finishes second,' the French defender told beIN Sports after the game. 'We'll have to take the next step, to have a different mentality. You have to respect the opponent but be more aggressive on the pitch. 'I think the French teams sometimes doubt themselves. They play some beautiful games but when it comes down to it, do not go through. 'We must give a nod to Monaco, who deserved more tonight. But, from our point of view, we never really doubted ourselves. 'We played the Italian way - it's solid, it's ugly, but it works. I am happy and at the same time a little sad for Monaco. It was strange to return to Stade Louis II, where I spent many happy years.' Injury meant Paul Pogba sat out the Monaco clash and he is likely to miss the Champions League semi-finals . Meanwhile, Evra's has urged compatriot Paul Pogba not to be tempted into a swift comeback from injury, after the 22-year-old was ruled out of action for 50 days when he injured a hamstring in the last-16 victory over Borussia Dortmund. 'He's hungry but he has an injury that requires attention,' the left-back added. 'He must not rush his return and instead have faith in the medical staff. He must only return if he's 100 per cent.'

Summary: French full back says Juve played 'the Italian way' on his return to Monaco . Evra made no apologies for Serie A club's pragmatic but effective approach . Former Manchester United ace questions the mentality of French teams . Evra has urged team-mate Paul Pogba not to rush his return from injury .


Arrested: Veteran William Snyder, 34, has been charged in connection with the disappearance and death of his wife, Kelley Jo Snyder, 34 . The husband of a Pennsylvania mother of three has been charged with abuse of a corpse and evidence-tampering after the discovery of her body over the weekend. Army-veteran William Snyder, 34, was charged hours after the body of his wife, Kelley Jo Snyder, 34, was found in a river near to their home on Saturday. She was last seen alive on Easter Sunday. Police in Renovo say that Snyder has admitted moving the body from their home and also having fabricated a ransom note seeking $60,000 for his wife's safe return. Coroner Zachary Hanna said the cause and manner of death are pending results of toxicology tests. State police have said they expect more charges to be filed after the results are published. Snyder is currently in the Clinton County Correctional Facility on $500,000 bail and was arrested at a motel in the small town of Horseheads on Friday in New York after presumably fleeing last week. He was returned across the state border and charged the next day.

Day out: William and Shelley-Jo Snyder with their son on a day out to the Met Life stadium in New Jersey . He is the alleged to have sent a ransom note to a local restaurant, himself and an email to police demanding money for her safe return. Snyder first reported his wife missing at 12.01 on the Monday following Easter Sunday sparking a huge search of the local area. Snyder and her three children said they had last seen Kelly Jo leave the family home at at around 5.45pm right before they sat down to eat their Easter dinner. She is supposed to have left the home to pick up sweet potatoes, but police claim she never made it the store. Police said they spoke to her 14-year-old son and he told them she had taken her wallet, bank card and identification with her. Family affair: Shelley-Jo was last seen at just before 6.00pm on Easter Sunday when she told her family she was going to buy some sweet potatoes . On Wednesday, during the search of the neighborhood, BJ's sister, T.T. Wertz found her sister-in-laws waller near to her house even though the area had been thoroughly searched. On Tuesday, Snyder spoke to Newswatch 16 before his wife's body was discovered. 'We just hope if she is out there and can see this or someone sees this and has any info to get a hold of us,' said Snyder to the local news station. In court papers, Snyder has admitted to sending the ransom note to his own address and to a local restaurant and an

A 1921 application form to join the racist Ku Klux Klan organisation has emerged, which asks ‘are you of the white race or of a colored race?’ The form asks a further 19 questions ranging from the mundane, such as ‘what is your age?’, to the overtly sinister – ‘Do you believe in White Supremacy?’ At the top is an introduction implying that it is intended to be sent out to people whose friends have identified them as suitable recruits. Scroll down for video . A 1921 application form to join the racist Ku Klux Klan organisation has emerged . The form was purchased at an ephemera show – where collectibles are sold – by Delaware rare book dealer Ian Brabner, whose firm, Rare Americana, buys and sells 18th to early 20th century rare books and historical manuscripts. In a blog post Brabner explained that the numbers ‘8-2-21’ in the top left corner of the unused form would have stood for the date – August 2, 1921. He wrote: ‘You can assume there’s a fair amount of xenophobic sentiment and anxiety about the waves of immigration to America, in 1921, post World-War One. ‘On May 9, 1921, this was evidenced when Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act, aka, the Emergency Immigration Act of 1921 to counter the increased immigration to America.’ The form is ominously titled ‘Invisible Empire’, an alternative name for the clan at the time, born from founder Nathan Bedford Forrest’s claim that the group was ‘invisible’. The KKK was founded in 1866 in Tennessee, with Nathan Bedford Forrest becoming the first leader, or grand wizard, in 1867. Pictured are clan members in 1965 . The KKK's membership peaked in the 1920s at around four million. Today it's thought to number in the low thousands . It then says ‘we have been requested by one of your personal friends to get in touch with you, and inform you of this organisation’, before listing 20 questions to be answered. They also include ‘do you believe in the principles of a PURE Americanism?’, ‘are you a gentile or Jew?’ and ‘were your parents born in the United States of America?’ The KKK was founded in 1866 in Tennessee, with Forrest becoming the first leader, or grand wizard, in 1867. Its membership peaked in the 1920s at around four million. Today it's thought to number in the low thousands, with most people affiliated with it living in America's Deep South. It was recently revealed, meanwhile, that California had more active hate groups than any other state last year. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), California has 57 such groups, followed by Florida with 50, New York with 44, New Jersey with 40, and Pennsylvania with 38. Rounding out the top five were Texas with 36 hate groups, Tennessee with 29, Georgia with 28, and Virginia and Ohio tied with 27 each. Hawaii and Alaska were the only states to not have any hate groups, according to the SPLC. The organization said on its website 'All hate groups have beliefs or practices

Barry Bonds has been cleared legally after 11 1/2 years in court. His reputation remains tainted in the mind of many baseball fans. A federal court of appeals threw out the career home run leader's obstruction of justice conviction on Wednesday, ruling 10-1 that his meandering answer before a grand jury in 2003 was not material to the government's investigation into illegal steroids distribution. 'Today's news is something that I have long hoped for,' Bonds said in a statement. Overturned: In this April 13, 2011, file photo, former baseball player Barry Bonds leaves federal court in San Francisco, after being found guilty of one count of obstruction of justice . On April 22, 2015, reversed the sole conviction against baseball slugger Barry Bonds, pictured in 2011, and said he could not be tried again on an obstruction of justice charge that resulted from a steroids probe . 'I am humbled and truly thankful for the outcome as well as the opportunity our judicial system affords to all individuals to seek justice.' Now 50, Bonds said 'I am excited about what the future holds for me as I embark on the next chapter.' Bonds broke Hank Aaron's long-standing career record of 755 homers in 2007, finished that season with 762 and was indicted that December for his testimony before a grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, when he answered a question about injections by saying he was 'a celebrity child.' He was convicted of the obstruction charge in 2011, and a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the conviction in 2013. But the larger group, which listened to arguments from prosecutors and Bonds' lawyers last September, concluded there was insufficient evidence his initial evasive answer was material to the grand jury's probe. 'The most one can say about this statement is that it was non-responsive and thereby impeded the investigation to a small degree by wasting the grand jury's time and trying the prosecutors' patience,' Judge Alex Kozinski wrote. baseball player: Pittsburgh Pirates Barry Bonds sits in the dugout at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium before his first major league start against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Pittsburgh, May 30, 1986 . 'Real-life witness examinations, unlike those in movies and on television, invariably are littered with non-responsive and irrelevant answers.' Jessica Wolfram, one of the jurors who convicted Bonds following the three-week trial and four days of deliberations, said she couldn't help but feel the decade-long prosecution was 'all a waste, all for nothing.' 'Just a waste of money, having the whole trial and jury,' she said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. In testifying before the grand jury, Bonds claimed he didn't realize substances he used were illegal performance-enhancing drugs. The appellate judges based their decision on legal issues involving witness testimony, not the underlying facts. Despite holding the career and season home run marks - he hit a single-year record 73 in 2001 - Bonds has been denied entry into baseball's Hall of Fame by baseball writers. He appeared on 36.8 percent

Summary: Barry Bonds has been cleared legally after 11 1/2 years in court . When he answered a question about steroid injections by saying he was 'a celebrity child,' he was convicted of obstruction of justice .

An eccentric man is fighting to keep his driving licence photo as a picture of him with a colander on his head because it is his 'religious right'. Ian Harris, 51, from Brighton, East Sussex, is a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster whose followers, known as Pastafarians, regard the pasta strainer as a religious garment. He is challenging the DVLA over his rights to wear the metal bowl in his licence photo, which he says is equivalent to Muslim women being pictured in hijabs. Ian Harris is a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, whose followers believe the colander is a religious garment and he is fighting with the DVLA for his right to wear one in his driving licence photo . The father-of-one has already been turned down once by the government agency but has sent off a fresh photo wearing the headgear in a second bid. Mr Harris said: 'I'm fighting for the right to have my religious headgear shown on my photo. I don't understand the DVLA should be able to discriminate whether my religion is valid. 'I have a spiritual connection with the Flying Spaghetti Monster, until they have brain probes how are they going to say I don't? 'Our religion is a minority but the DVLA is discriminating because it allows people who practise major religions to wear headgear in pictures.' The musician had his appeal rejected last month but hopes to emulate fellow believer Niko Alm from Austria, who won the legal right to wear the headgear in his licence photo in 2011. Mr Alm sent off for the licence in 2008 and he was invited to the doctor's to check he was mentally fit to drive, but after three years, his efforts finally paid off. Mr Harris began following the religion, along with his daughter Astri, 4, after it was set up in the USA in 2005 to protest the teaching of creationism as an alternative to evolution in science classes. Members claim to believe that an invisible alien made of spaghetti and meatballs created the universe after 'drinking heavily.' According to its tongue-in-cheek website their 'only dogma ... is the rejection of dogma'. Rejection: Mr Harris has already been turned down once by the government agency but has sent off a fresh photo wearing the headgear and in a second bid . A DVLA spokesman said: 'The photograph must be clear and be a current likeness to allow the Police to link the driver to driving entitlement held without confusion or ambiguity. 'Headgear is generally not acceptable, but may be permissible on religious or medical grounds and any exemptions are dealt with on a case by case basis.' Religious exemptions include the Sikh turban and the Islamic Hijab. Mr Harris, who plays banjo in The Iron Boot Scrapers, vows to fight his corner until he runs out of appeals when he will be forced to send a photo of him without the colander. He said: 'When I get to the final appeal I will have to send

A leading Australian military adviser who worked for the federal government, the RAAF and Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove in East Timor has been arrested in the US on child pornography charges. Dr Adam Cobb was taken into custody on Friday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for receipt and distribution of child pornography after allegedly uploading images of child pornography to the social networking site, Tumblr. If convicted he faces 20 years' jail in the US. Dr Adam Cobb was taken into custody on Friday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for receipt and distribution of child pornography after allegedly uploading images of child pornography to the social networking site, Tumblr . The 45-year-old was in the US working as a research professor and director at the prestigious US Naval War College in Rhode Island. Cobb took up the position at the US Naval War College in June last year after holding senior military and government roles in Australia and the US, including a recent strategic policy and planning position at US Special Operations Command in Tampa, Florida. 'I can confirm that he was a civilian employee and director of the Mahan Advanced Research Project at the US Naval War College,' Captain Christopher Dicomitis, a Rhode Island State Police detective, told AAP on Sunday. Cobb appeared in the US District Court in Providence on Friday and was refused bail. An investigation began in January when The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children reported an individual in Rhode Island had uploaded child pornography to Tumblr. The internet connection at Cobb's Portsmouth home was identified as the origin of the images. Cobb was in the US working as a director at the prestigious US Naval War College in Rhode Island after holding senior military and government roles in Australia, including the RAAF . Laptops and mobile phones were seized from his home, while photos and videos of two females were also discovered on a storage device and a computer allegedly belonging to Cobb. Educated at the University of Sydney, Australian National University and University of Cambridge, Cobb built a reputation as a leading military thinker.

The Shepherd’s Life: A Tale of the Lake District . by James Rebanks . (Allen Lane £16.99) When, in 2002, my family and I moved from busy North London to bucolic north Herefordshire, we found that our new neighbours were, overwhelmingly, sheep. I didn’t want to be one of those townies who moves to the country but remains ignorant of rural ways, so I made sporadic efforts to get to know them, or at least, to get to understand life on a sheep farm. When my children were small, I asked the obliging farmer whose land abuts our garden if they could watch his ewes lambing. And I still often tell him that I’d like to spend some time alongside him, to see how his days unfold. To which he always smiles, no doubt wondering, metropolitan softie that I still really am, how I’d cope with the early starts and the relentless physical graft. This wonderful book has filled in most of the gaps in my education, without any 4.30am alarm calls. James Rebanks studied at the University of Oxford before returning to his roots in the Lake District, he is seen here with his sheep on his farm outside of Penrith in Cumbria . It is the enlightening, exquisitely written account, give or take a few autobiographical tangents, of a year in the life of James Rebanks, whose family has been farming in the Lake District for at least six centuries. He was born into a job from which, now in his 40s, he takes infinite pride. All the same, it is no life for the faint-hearted. Every year, spring and autumn feel like flimsy bookends to a long, harsh winter, and his Herdwick sheep — descended, he thinks, from animals that arrived with the Vikings — are built for the fells in ways that even the hardiest shepherds are not. Making hay, linked by an old proverb to images of glorious sunny days, can be ‘a bitch of a job’. And while working with livestock is a series of small, predictable daily challenges, sometimes the challenges are bigger, and not at all predictable. With starkly effective prose, he brilliantly evokes the horror of the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak. After police snipers had arrived on his farm, ‘the fields were speckled with our dead cattle . . . Strangely peaceful, they lay in all sorts of mangled and contorted ways. I knew those cattle, so it was like seeing old friends dead’. As for the sheep, 95 per cent of the world’s Herdwicks live within 20 miles of Coniston, and were in danger of extinction. ‘But an essentially urban government didn’t understand. To them, a sheep was a sheep, a farm simply a farm. The idea that something precious was on the edge of destruction was never really grasped.’ It is a farmer’s lot, adds Rebanks, to depend on the whims of others: of bureaucrats, supermarket buyers, shoppers. Alas, most of them have no understanding of the proud, beleaguered culture he comes from, just like the secondary school teachers who told him

Summary: This book is an exquisite account of what farming life is really like . The stark prose brilliantly evokes the horror of the foot-and-mouth of 2001 . Rebanks studied for a degree at Oxford before returning to his rural roots .


Manchester United and Liverpool target £25million Memphis Depay has held talks with Paris St Germain this week with the permission of his club PSV Eindhoven. The dialogue between PSG and Depay represents a threat to the Premier League clubs with the Qatari-backed French club understood to have made a significantly better financial offer than Liverpool. United have yet to hold detailed talks with the player but have informed PSV of their wish to do so while Liverpool have established a good relationship with the club and would be serious contenders to sign the wide player if United's offer does not match their own. Memphis Depay (centre) has held talks with PSG, despite Liverpool and Manchester United's interest . Holland player Depay (right) has caught the eye of clubs over Europe with good form for club and country . Louis van Gaal gave Depay his international debut but could miss out on bringing him to Old Trafford . However, Depay is intrigued by the prospect of playing with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and is good friends with Gregory van der Wiel, his team-mate in the Holland national team, who is also at PSG. With Bayern Munich also considering a move for the winger, a move to the Premier League is in the balance though if United firm up their interest, they clearly have an advantage. Louis van Gaal gave Depay his international debut for Holland and the player also worked under van Gaal's assistant, Albert Stuivenberg in the Holland Under-17 team which won the 2011 European Championships.

Arsene Wenger wants Cesc Fabregas to be shown the ‘respect he deserves’ when he returns to the Emirates Stadium in the blue of Chelsea on Sunday. The problem with that is a decent chunk of Arsenal’s supporters feel he doesn’t deserve much. That became obvious on Thursday, when one prominent fan called for the removal of a Fabregas banner from the Ken Friar Bridge. Cesc Fabregas returns to Arsenal on Sunday and Arsene Wenger hopes fans will give him a good reception . Wenger wants 'respect' for the club's former players and counts Fabregas as a man who deserves that . Gunners fans offer their good luck to Fabregas in 2011, but the reception is likely to be more frosty this time . Extreme, perhaps, but this is an emotive issue which continues to bubble away at the club where Fabregas built his career, not least because the circumstances behind his summer move from Barcelona to Chelsea are still as clear as mud. Any clarity, it seems, will have to wait. Wenger was at his cryptic best on Thursday when asked if it was his call to not take up an option he had to re-sign the player, saying: ‘We will have to discuss that one day. With all the terms.’ When pressed on whether it was his decision, he added: ‘It’s not as clean as that. I cannot speak to you about that now because that will not help us to win on Sunday.’ At that point it was suggested to Wenger that Fabregas chose not to come back and Wenger said: ‘I don’t know, I don’t know.’ The Frenchman has previously claimed that by the time he knew Fabregas was available, a deal with Chelsea was virtually concluded — comments which jarred a little with the Spaniard’s statement last summer that Arsenal ‘decided not to take’ their option. Whatever, it would be ambitious for Fabregas to expect an overwhelmingly positive reception on Sunday. The midfielder set up Diego Costa to seal a 2-0 victory for Chelsea against Arsenal earlier this season . Certainly, there was already a degree of disappointment within the club about how their relationship with the player ended when he left in 2011. But Wenger said: ‘I want every player to be respected, and Cesc Fabregas when he comes to the Emirates on Sunday, (I want him) to be respected like he deserves.’ Wenger added: ‘The regret I have is that he wanted to leave here. This club and myself had a very positive influence on Cesc’s life, so I would be a bit uncomfortable to have to justify today why he is not here.’ When he returns, it will be as a key part of the champions-elect and under a manager in Jose Mourinho who has won seven and drawn five of his 12 meetings with Wenger. That clash, in itself, is a fascinating sub-plot to this fixture between the top and second-placed teams in the Barclays Premier League. Fabregas gets ahead of his now-team-mate Branislav Ivanovic to score against Chelsea for Arsenal in 2010 .

Summary: Arsenal face Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon . Cesc Fabregas makes his first return to his former club in the clash . Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants fans to respect ex-players . The Gunners had the chance to re-sign Fabregas but he went to Chelsea . Wenger refuses to say if he regrets that but admits he wishes he never left . READ: Arsenal can beat Chelsea, says Arsene Wenger . Arsenal vs Chelsea special: Cesc Fabregas makes Emirates return .


Chelsea were made to work hard for their three points against Stoke at Stamford Bridge on Saturday but Eden Hazard starred for Jose Mourinho's team. He slotted Chelsea ahead in typically composed fashion from the penalty spot before Charlie Adam equalised with an astonishing strike from inside his own half shortly before half time. Stoke continued to make things difficult for Chelsea until an Asmir Begovic error led to Loic Remy tapping in the winner. Here, Sportsmail's Kieran Gill gives his player ratings. CHELSEA (4-2-3-1) Thibaut Courtois – 5.5 . Never called into action in the opening 43 minutes but beaten by Adam with an incredible strike from inside Stoke’s half. Too far off his line and one of the world’s best goalkeepers was left embarrassed. Thibaut Courtois was on the winning team but will want to forget Charlie Adam beating him from his own half . Gary Cahill (left) and John Terry leap up to block an attempt at goal from Stoke's Philipp Wollscheid . Branislav Ivanovic – 6.5 . Tidied up well on the rare occasion Stoke threatened. Played with more freedom once Chelsea had the lead and tried to help in attack down the wing. Gary Cahill – 6 .5 . Looked cool when called into action and was able to clear the danger as Stoke tried to cross their way into the lead in the second half. John Terry – 7 . Manned the back well and it took a goal-of-the-season contender for his team to concede against a Stoke side that ran out of ideas at times. Always the man that remained at the back to kill off any threat. Cesar Azpilicueta – 6.5 . Tried to get forward and help Hazard down the left. Closed down well and put in a tireless performance. Nemanja Matic – 6 . A few too many misplaced passes and a hurried clearance almost spelled danger for Chelsea. Cleaned up well when needed to win back possession, however. Cesc Fabregas – 7 . Won the penalty with a clever cut back that fooled Wollscheid. Kept the midfield ticking over well. Brazil international Willian (left) also produced an impressive display for Chelsea in the win over Stoke . Eden Hazard put Chelsea into the lead with from the penalty spot in the first half . Diego Costa's (right) game was curtailed 10 minutes after coming on with what looked like a hamstring injury . Willian – 7.5 . A handful for Stoke as he, Oscar and Hazard linked up well to create chances in the first half, though they were never taken. Never short of a run. Oscar – 6.5 . Scuppered one of Chelsea’s best chances to take the lead by placing his shot wide of the far post, and was ultimately – and unfortunately – sacrificed for Costa at half time. Eden Hazard – 8.5 . A live wire. Master of the one-two and creating chances. Ultimately kept his cool from the spot to give Chelsea a much-needed lead before Adam’s equaliser. Didn’t look tired, despite his weariness during international

Summary: Eden Hazard and Loic Remy hit the net as Chelsea beat Stoke 2-1 . Charlie Adam hit the net from 66 yards for Stoke to level the scores . The moment is one to forget for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois .


Two of England’s most ambitious and well-resourced academies go head-to-head on Monday night as Manchester City play Chelsea in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup final. Both teams are packed with talented players eager to make an impression in front of the TV cameras and stake their claim for first-team involvement in the seasons to come. Ahead of the match at City’s Academy Stadium we tell you everything you need to know. Dominic Solanke (second right) scores for Chelsea against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Youth League final . WHAT’S THE OCCASION? It’s the first leg of the FA Youth Cup final and it’ll take place at City’s 7,200-capacity Academy Stadium, in the shadow of the main Etihad Stadium and part of their £200m Etihad Campus that opened last year. The match kicks off at 7.45pm and will be shown live on ITV4. The second leg takes place next Monday at Stamford Bridge. HOW DID THE TEAMS GET THERE? City started their campaign with a 2-0 win over Oxford United in the third round just before Christmas, with goals from Marcus Wood and Bersant Celina sealing a comfortable win. Jason Wilcox’s team really had their shooting boots on in the fourth round, thrashing Coventry City 8-2. Brandon Barker was the star with three of them, while Thierry Ambrose (2), Pablo Maffeo, Javairo Dilrosun and Denzeil Boadu also cashed in. Man City's Thierry Ambrose (centre) scores his second goal during the 8-2 victory over Coventry . Manchester City's Isaac Buckley Ricketts (left) celebrates scoring during the semi-final against Leicester . It wasn’t as straightforward in the next round, with a solitary Celina strike beating Stoke City, but City were back to their free-scoring best in beating Crewe Alexandra 6-1 in the last eight. Having fallen behind early on, City stormed back to win thanks to goals from Aaron Nemane, Barker (2), Boadu, Celina and Ambrose. That set up a two-legged semi-final with Leicester City and they were very keen to get the job done, winning the home first leg 3-0. Nemane (2) and Boadu continued their scoring form. The second leg at the King Power Stadium was a formality and, having fallen behind to a second-half penalty, two goals in stoppage time from Isaac Buckley and Barker sealed a 5-1 aggregate win. Chelsea started their campaign at the beginning of December and were drawn away to Leeds United. An Izzy Brown penalty and a late second from Dominic Solanke got the Blues Youth Cup defence underway. Huddersfield Town were beaten 6-1 in the fourth round, with England under 18 star Solanke scoring a hat-trick. Tammy Abraham grabbed two and Kasey Palmer rounded off an emphatic win. And Joe Edwards’ team went goal crazy again in the fifth round, beating Swansea 6-0. This time it was Abraham scoring a treble and Solanke adding two. Palmer also got on the scoresheet. A tough trip to Newcastle United followed but the Blues finally prevailed in extra time with Brown, Solanke and Abraham on the scoresheet in a 3-0 win at St James’ Park. That

Summary: FA Youth Cup final first leg between Man City and Chelsea is on Monday . Chelsea are in their fifth final in six years and won in 2010, 2012 and 2014 . Man City last lifted the trophy back in 2008 after beating Chelsea 4-2 .

Comedian Sarah Silverman is encouraging women to understand their worth and ask for equal pay in a new campaign in which she recounts a time she was discriminated against because of her gender. The 44-year-old, who is known for her wicked sense of humor, gets serious for Levo League's Ask4More campaign, which calls for women to request the salaries that they deserve in honor of Equal Pay Day on April 14. 'I think the best person for the job should get jobs,' she says in the campaign video. 'I'm all for women having to work harder to prove themselves at this juncture if that's the way it is in the world. But if you work a job, and a man is working the same job, you should be getting paid the same.' Scroll down for video . Be confident: Sarah Silverman wants women to understand their worth as a part of Levo League's new Ask4More campaign, which encourages women to request the salaries that they deserve . On average, women only earn 78 cents for every dollar made by men, and in the clip, the actress recalls a time when she was faced with an even worse pay margin because of her gender. Sarah explains that she and fellow comedian Todd Barry were doing back-to-back stand up sets on a Saturday night at the New York Comedy Club. Even though she says she was 'pretty well known at the time', she 'didn't think anything of it' when she was given $10 for her work. But when she was chatting with Todd outside, it soon came up that he was offered $60 for the same amount of work - at the same show. When she went back inside and asked Al Martin, the owner at the time, about the pay discrepancy, he thought that she was asking him to lend her money, saying: 'Oh, did you want a $60 spot?' Not right: In the video, Sarah recalls a time when she was paid $10 to do a stand-up routine, when a man who performed the same amount of time earned $60 . 'It was symbolic. I didn't need $60,' she says of that moment. 'You know, it’s pretty sh****.' Sarah, who came under fire last month after she tweeted 'ten rape prevention tips' aimed at male attackers, says whenever she shares anything 'women's rights related' on social media, including equal pay and health care, she gets 'the most violent hate tweets back'. 'It's so odd. It's just bizarre,' she says. Sarah explains that knowing your self-worth is a big factor when it comes to women feeling confident to ask for more. 'My therapist says - and I think about it all the time - we don't get what we want. We get what we think we deserve,' she added. Double standard: The 44-year-old comedian, who is pictured at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, says she gets 'the most violent hate tweets' when she discusses women's issues on Twitter .

Looking after a newborn baby is one of the most exhausting periods in a woman's life. You haven't recovered from giving birth and are suddenly on duty 24/7, responsible for entertaining, feeding and cleaning an unstoppable machine. On top of this, the mothers have to deal with the never-ending conveyor belt of friends and family who are desperate to see the new addition. Looking after a newborn is one of the most exhausting periods in life (picture posed by model) Well-meaning visitors arrive at the house armed with gifts for the baby and plenty of compliments. But while they might be well-intentioned, there are a number of pitfalls to be avoided when cooing over a newborn. Parenting blogger Emily-Jane Clark, who runs the popular site How to Survive a Sleep Thief, which she describes as 'an antithesis to baby advice', has compiled a list of the ways that visitors can avoid annoying a new mother. They include bringing gifts for the mum and coming armed with chocolate and coffee - read on to find out more... New mothers receive plenty of visitors shorty after giving birth, who often have annoying habits (picture posed by model) 1. DO NOT arrive unannounced to ‘give us a break from the baby’. Emily-Jane says: 'We have known our child for two days. We do not need a break from her just yet. 'Give me a week or two and no doubt I’ll be begging for you to take her off my hands!' 2. DO buy presents for ME! Not for the baby. Emily-Jane says: 'I’m the one with the stitched up lady bits who did all the hard work. My daughter has spent the past ten months sitting on her arse. My need for gifts is greater than hers. 'Besides, all she cares about right now is milky breasts. So unless you can supply some of those then you really needn’t bother. 'And what’s with all the muslins? In no other situation would it be deemed acceptable to buy someone just out of hospital cleaning cloths as a present. Not to mention the ultimate insult. I can barely bring myself to type the words. NON-alcoholic ‘champagne’. Sparkling bloody grape juice! 'I have just endured ten months of pregnancy and hours of labour. Do you not think I might need a proper drink? Sure, I am breastfeeding, but I can still have one glass (yes, I checked, by god, did I check).' Mothers are often on the brink of exhaustion when looking after a newborn (picture posed by model) 3. DO wash your hands before you touch my baby. Emily-Jane says: 'You may think you have clean hands until you meet the first time mother of a newborn. 'The brand new mum is highly adept in detecting dirt invisible to the naked eye. She is well aware that on every square centimetre of your hand there are 1,500 bacteria. 'And the moment you touch her baby’s face or, god forbid, let the baby suck your finger (why?) – she can see all 50,000 of those germy little
