Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons had been on my wish list for a while - and Mum is such a huge fan of Raymond Blanc she once confessed he could be her Mastermind subject… . Nestled in the green rolling hills of the Chilterns, Le Manoir is a striking building; a 15th Century manor house built with golden bricks and burgundy roof tiles, and boasting tall chimney stacks and climbing wisteria. It is beautiful - and it's impossible not to gawp. The impeccably kept grounds included perfectly trimmed lawns, bronze sculptures (including a scarecrow based on Blanc himself), pathways lined with lavender and the walled organic kitchen garden - which supplies the restaurant with seasonal herbs, salads and vegetables. Lucy Verasamy proudly shows one of the healthy and tasty dishes created at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons . Raymond Blanc pays a surprise visit to the cooking school that bares his name in his Oxford manor house . Our twin room for the night was huge. We loved it - from the flattering lighting and the textured wallpaper to the cashmere blankets on the end of the beds. Le Manoir's restaurant has held two Michelin stars for the best part of the 30 years since it opened. We decided to go for the full-on dining experience and the seven-course taster menu. Each dish was presented like a work of art - it almost seemed a shame to attack it with my cutlery. It was so good we were both unusually quiet. With every course came a helpful and brief explanation, and a glass of wine. The cheese trolley was one of the biggest I'd seen. By this stage I was on mouse-sized portions and ready to pop. The next morning I was woken by the sound of birds rather than the alarm on my phone. We headed down to breakfast but were distracted from the huge smorgasbord of choice by Blanc himself as he bounced around the tables, cheerfully welcoming guests. Le Manoir boasts stunning grounds, luxury accommodation and Blanc's two Michelin-starred restaraunt . Thankfully, Mum was more starstruck than stalker when it was our turn. Chatty and friendly, Blanc noticed my Bircher muesli and immediately offered up the recipe. I had signed up to the Food, Body, Mind course due to start promptly at 9am - one of several day-long courses run at the in-house cookery school. A few minutes in, Blanc unexpectedly arrived and introduced the course - passionate, enthusiastic and energetic he spoke about the importance of nutrition and being mindful of the ingredients we choose. This was right up my street and I couldn't wait to get going. Natalia, a nutritionist, and Mark, a chef who has worked with Blanc for more than 25 years, were brilliant course hosts and teachers. With their amazing knowledge, they were like a human foodie Google. Natalia banished misleading food myths, while her informative facts and figures on the latest medical research were fascinating. I couldn't help but scribble down notes. Food icon Raymond Blanc and Lucy bond over a delicious creme caramel at

President Barack Obama will once again stop short of calling the 1915 massacre of Armenians a genocide, prompting anger and disappointment from those who have been pushing him to use the politically fraught term. As a candidate for president in 2008, Obama promised to use the term to describe the mass murder if elected but has not followed through despite calls from the most famous Armenian-American, Kim Kardashian, and the Pope for the world to recognize the killings as a genocide. Kardashian, whose Armenian heritage comes from her father, the late Robert Kardashian, has used her celebrity since at least 2011 to bring awareness to the genocide. She last week traveled to the country for the first time with her husband Kanye West, sister Khloe and cousins Kara and Kourtni Kardashian. 'An emotional day at the genocide museum,' read a tweet posted by Kim that was accompanied by a photo of her and Khloe laying flowers at the Dzidzernagapert Armenian Genocide monument’s eternal flame. Scroll down for video . Tricky language: President Barack Obama (pictured Tuesday) will be sending an administration official to Armenia this week, to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1915 massacre by Ottoman Turks. But the White House still refuses to call the mass killings of ethnic Armenians a 'genocide' for fear of offending ally Turkey . Slaughter: Historians estimate that 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks during World War I. Above, Armenians are made to march in this picture from the 1915 massacre .

Kim and Khloe were accompanied by their cousins Kara and Kourtni and Kim's husband Kanye West. Kim and Kholoe Kardashian's Armenian heritage comes from their father, the late Robert Kardashian . As a senator and presidential candidate, Obama did describe the killings of Armenians as genocide. But he has never used that description since taking office, mainly out of deference to Turkey, a key U.S. partner. Top administration officials discussed the decision with Armenian-American leaders Tuesday. The White House said U.S. officials pledged to Armenian-American leaders that the U.S. would use this week's 100th anniversary of the killings 'to urge a full, frank and just acknowledgement of the facts,' but a statement about the meeting did not include the word 'genocide.' Historians estimate up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks, an event widely viewed by scholars as a genocide. Turkey, however, denies that the deaths constituted genocide because it was not an ethnic-driven battle and says the death toll has been inflated. Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff said yesterday he was 'deeply disappointed' by the president's decision. 'The United States has long prided itself for being a beacon of human rights, for speaking out against atrocity, for confronting painful chapters of its own past and that of others,' said Schiff. 'This cannot be squared with a policy of complicity in genocide denial by the president or Congress.' Kim and Khloe laid flowers at the Dzidzernagapert genocide monument’s eternal flame

Summary: In 1915, 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks in what historians have described as the first genocide of the 20th century . Obama refused to call the mass killings a 'genocide' in official statement despite promising as a presidential candidate that he would . Turkish officials furiously deny there was a genocide, and Obama has shied away from offending the close U.S. ally . Kim Kardashian - who is Armenian on her father's side - and the Pope have both called the killings a genocide . Kasdashian last week traveled to the country for the first time with her husband Kanye West, sister Khole and cousins Kara and Kourtni . The White House will be sending Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew to Armenia this week to mark the 100th anniversary of the killings .

Silva turns around in pain before receiving several minutes treatment and being given oxygen . ‘Many thanks to all the messages of support, all the tests have gone well and I’m already home. The three points is what was important!’ he tweeted. Kouyate was only booked by referee Anthony Taylor and City boss Manuel Pellegrini believes the Senegal midfielder did not mean to injure his player. ‘I always think that a player doesn’t want to damage another player,’ he said. ‘The referee was so near and he decided it was unintentional. ‘He decides what happens and gave a yellow card. I hope that it was an accidental collision. ‘At this moment Silva is in hospital and they are checking if he has a broken bone in his cheek. It looked serious but we must wait for what happens at the hospital.’ Asked if Silva has been knocked unconscious, Pellegrini added: ‘I don’t know. The doctor has some doubts about that. After that he recovers well so we are checking.’ West Ham manager Sam Allardyce claimed that the incident was ‘accidental’, saying: ‘It was innocuous. I didn’t think it was a foul. ‘Everybody thinks it is more serious attack from Cheikhou than it was. ‘It wasn’t deliberate at all. He has no idea, it has happened from behind him. I have seen the reaction from the video on the laptop.’ Silva was given put in a neck brace and given oxygen as his concerned team-mates looked on . City bounced back from their defeat in the Manchester derby to win 2-0 through James Collins’s own-goal and Sergio Aguero’s 20th Premier League strike of the season. Pellegrini’s side are now one point behind third-placed Manchester United, who lost at leaders Chelsea on Saturday, in the race for a top-four finish and seven clear of Liverpool in fifth. ‘I think it was very important for our team to win,’ said the City boss. ‘We were coming from two defeats in a row, and always when one is a derby it is worse.’ After seeing the Hammers fail to win for the 10th time in 11 games, Allardyce said: ‘The most disappointing thing was the goals we gifted City. The two mistakes we make for the goals, one was pretty bizarre and the other unexpected from a player as experienced as Stewart Downing.’ The loss of Silva will be a

Nicola Sturgeon has warned David Cameron she will trigger a second Scottish independence referendum if he tries to take Britain to the EU exit door.

Miss Sturgeon's manifesto included proposals to seek to thwart the Tories' planned in/out EU referendum by 2017, the first time voters would have had a say on our place in Europe for 40 years. She said SNP MPs would seek to amend an EU referendum Bill to insist on a 'double majority' - meaning that unless England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each vote to leave the EU, the UK would remain a member state. The First Minister, who has previously said merely that 'something substantial' would have to change before the SNP held a second independence referendum, said a Tory government seeking to take Scotland out of the EU against its will would be a trigger. The Scottish Nationalists lost last year's independence referendum by 55 per cent to 45 per cent, having previously suggested it was a 'once in a generation' event. David Cameron speaks to supporters during a Conservative Party rally in Sandymoor, Cheshire . Miss Sturgeon told the Mail that an EU exit would be 'something substantive... change in circumstances' that would mean a second Scottish independence referendum was necessary.

A formerly obese man has revealed how he finally became motivated to lose 160lbs from his 354lbs frame over the course of 20 months, after nearly a lifetime of emotional eating and self-loathing. Atlanta-based writer Alex Gray, 27, admitted that he once made excuses for his gluttonous habits, which included trips to drive-through restaurants up to four times a day, but it wasn't until an obese friend 'unveiled a shockingly svelte silhouette' that he was inspired to make changes in his own life . 'There are a lot of platitudes about weight,' he wrote in an essay for Salon. 'One of them is that you should love yourself no matter your size. I’m here to say that’s bullsh**. Being fat sucks. I love myself way more now than I ever have. Scroll down for video . Inner turmoil: Alex aid that he had 'missed out on a lot' when he was clocking in at 354lbs (pictured) New man: The writer was pictured at a Miami Dolphins football game after he lost nearly half of his body weight in 20 months . Alex explained that there are people who are unable to lose weight because of genetics or other factors - but he was not one of them. 'For those who can do something about their size, and simply refuse to, trust me: Life is so much better on the other side,' he explained. Alex said that he couldn't think of a 'specific catalyst' that prompted him to gain weight, but he recalled that he had an insatiable appetite 'as an only child with unabated access to nearly everything'. As he got older, he grew bigger, and by the time he was in college, he found himself struggling with physical intimacy because of his size. Alex recalled one woman who called him out for breathing heavily during one of their sexual encounters. He confessed that the panting was because he was winded - not because he was caught up in the heat of the moment. But the worse he felt about himself, the more he ate. 'I’ve never tried drugs, but I empathize with those addicted to the needle, or the pipe,' he wrote. 'I know what it feels like to be acutely aware your vice is killing you, or at the very least, keeping you from living your best life. Alex explained attempted to lose weight a few times, but neither the promise of an extended football career or a new car could motivate him to stick with it because he was unable to 'escape food's gravitational pull'. It wasn't until he saw his friend Joubert, who once had a similar frame to his, show off his fit new body at a Cinco De Mayo reunion that he became motivated to start making changes in his own life. Days later, Alex went walking, and eventually his walks turned into runs. He made dietary changes too, including swapping burgers for lean rotisserie chicken. It took a little less than two years to reach his 'physical ideal', and Alex explained that his whole world

Robert Lewandowski returned to haunt his former club as Bayern Munich earned a narrow victory against Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. Poland international Lewandowski scored the winner on his first visit back to the club he left on a free transfer last summer as Pep Guardiola's side restored their 10-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga. Lewandowski spent four years at Dortmund, leading them to back-to-back league titles during that period, and offered only a muted celebration when he pounced to give the visitors the lead 10 minutes before half time. Click here to read Nicholas Godden's full match report . Host commentator . League leaders Bayern Munich stretch their lead at the top of the table to 10 points. Former Dortmund man Lewandowski scored the only goal of the match to give his side the win. The home team deserved a point, however Guardiola's side dug deep to hold on and claim yet another vital victory. It seems like Dortmund are going to run out of time to claim an equaliser. They are missing a Lewandowski or Gotze to provide that extra bit of quality in the final third. Dortmund were awarded a free-kick in a fantastic position. Reus tests his international team-mate but Neuer shows his class by stretching down to his right. He has to be the best goalkeeper in the world despite the form of De Gea and Courtois. Klopp has done all he can in terms of substitutions and tactical tweaks. It now rests with the likes of Kagawa and Reus to inspire the home side to at least claim a point. And they would be fully worthy of a point as they have impressed since the interval. Former Dortmund playmaker Gotze replaces Muller in the hole behind Lewandowski while Mkhitaryan comes on for Gundogan as Klopp's side chase an equaliser. Alonso is booked for pulling back Kagawa's shirt. 15 minutes left to play. Talking of players back from injury, Thiago is playing his first match of the season after being ruled out of action with a knee injury since March 2014. Lahm's first start of the season lasts 69 minutes as he is replaced by Thiago. Guardiola will be delighted to have his captain back after his lengthy spell on the sidelines. Kagawa gets his chance to impress as he comes on along with Ramos. Dortmund are starting to apply more pressure on Bayern's defence. The next goal, if there is one, will be crucial. Reus should have finally tested Neuer, who is yet to make a save, however he manages to hit his shot wide of the goal. He literally had a free run at goal and had time to aim his strike. Here's a stat for you - Manuel Neuer is yet to make a save during the first 60 minutes of the match. Schweinsteiger, who was on a yellow card, has been replaced with Rode with just over half an hour to go. Klopp will surely look to freshen up his side during the next 10 minutes. Dortmund

Summary: Ex-Dortmund star Robert Lewandowski nets winner in the 36th minute . Dortmund are unable to score equaliser despite dictating second half . Bayern Munich open up 10-point lead over second-placed Wolfsburg . Dortmund XI vs Bayern Munich: Weidenfeller; Sokratis, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer; Gundogan, Bender; Błaszczykowski, Reus, Kampl; Aubameyang .

Not one but two fast food eateries have announced major menu shake-ups, both in an apparent attempt to attract a new sort of crowd. Burger King, which has launched its summer menu, has branched out from run-of-the-mill sundaes by offering a pina colada smoothie, while Pret A Manger has gone the whole hog and started serving sit-down dinners with wine.

Diners can enjoy their meals along with a selection of wines and craft beers as atmospheric jazz wafts from the speakers. Chef Nick Sandler told The Evening Standard: ‘If [customers] come in and say “we’re in a real hurry we’ve only got 20 minutes” because they are going to the theatre we tell them they’ve got plenty of time to order, sit down and have their meal. ‘But equally if someone’s got a bit longer to have a glass of wine and spend an hour with us that’s fine as well, we’re pretty relaxed about it.' Newcomers: Burger King, which just launched its summer menu, has branched out from run-of-the-mill sundaes by offering a pina colada smoothie (right) Grub: Burger King's new Party in the Park menu consists of three new burgers, the Mushroom Swiss Steakhouse, the Pulled Pork BBQ Whopper and the Ciabatta Chicken Tendercrisp (pictured) Evening dishes, which largely feature on Pret's lunch menu anyway, include spicy meatballs, flat breads and dips, and baked falafel, as well as Korean BBQ pulled pork and mac ‘n’ cheese.

A gay student in Louisiana says she is going to skip her senior prom because the school principal won't let her wear a tuxedo. Claudetteia Love, a senior and one of the top students at Carroll High in Monroe, said she was planning on going to the prom without a date and with a group of friends, but now she and her friends are staying away. Though a petition was started and signed by members of the senior class to allow Love to wear a tuxedo, it was not acted on by school faculty. Carroll High School senior Claudetteia Love will skip her senior prom after her Monroe, Louisiana, school's principal told her that she would not be allowed to wear a tuxedo . Principal Patrick Taylor told Love that the decision was dress-code related and that she shouldn't take it personally . 'I told my mom, "They're using me". They put me in all these honors and advanced placement classes so I can take all of these tests and get good grades and better the school, but when it's time for me to celebrate the fact that I've accomplished what I need to accomplish and I'm about to graduate, they don't want to let me do it the way I want to,'' she told The News-Star. The decision is part of the school's dress code and not anything personal, principal Patrick Taylor told The News-Star. Love's mother, Geraldine Jackson, said Taylor told her faculty members said they wouldn't supervise the April 24 prom if girls wore tuxes. 'That's his exact words. "Girls wear dresses and boys wear tuxes, and that's the way it is,"' she said. Love was going to go to the prom with a group of friends and no date, but all of them have decided not to go after Taylor made his rule. Love's mother said that she believes Taylor is 'taking his values and throwing them' on her daughter because she's a lesbian . 'I feel like he's taking his values and throwing them on my daughter because of what her preference is and what she represents,' Jackson added. Monroe City School Board President Rodney McFarland said Taylor's decision was discriminatory and he disagreed with it. 'Banning her from her prom just because of what she wants to wear - that's discrimination,' he said. 'As far as I know there is no Monroe City School Board policy saying what someone has to wear to attend the prom. You can't just go making up policies.' He said he planned to ask Superintendent Brent Vidrine to talk to Taylor. Love said that though she will skip her own prom, she hopes that she can make a difference for younger students. Love is a top-performing student at Carroll High School. She will represent the school at an annual scholars' banquet and has a full scholarship to Jackson State University once she graduates . 'There are other girls in lower grades than me, and I want for them when they come up to not to have to feel like they aren't

Two Pennsylvania bank robbers are believed to have had military training and are being described by the FBI as 'armed and extremely dangerous'. A pair of masked men armed with handguns have robbed three banks in the Pittsburgh area so far this year, most recently on April 10. The unknown men, who are seen on surveillance footage pointing their guns at bank employees' heads, have threatened to kidnapping those at their targets and shoot police. However, the way that the two men handle their weapons has led the FBI to suspect that the thieves are actually former police officers themselves. Scroll down for video . Police believe that the two bank robbers suspected in a string of recent heists may have police or military training because of the way they handle a weapon . Authorities say that the robberies, most recently on April 10 (pictured), have become increasingly violent, with the thieves threatening kidnappings and saying they will shoot police if engaged . Surveillance video shows one masked robber holding his finger stretched along the barrel of his gun, just off of the trigger, a safety method used by law enforcement. The men, who wear dark sweatpants and sweatshirts, are also seen jumping over the counter as they begin their heists. 'These folks have some kind of training in firearms, meaning they could be former military, they could be law enforcement, either former or currents,' the FBI's Patrick Fallon said. 'Street punks don’t usually use holsters,' he told WPXI. The men, both 5'8''-5'9'' are described as in excellent physical condition. One of them climbs behind the counter to collect cash as the other threatens bank employees with a gun . The clothes worn during the robberies are thought to be quickly discarded by the robbers, who have also used a very common car as a getaway vehicle . Authorities warned that the criminals have become increasingly aggressive and violent during robberies on January 24, February 21 and April 10.

Cosmopolitan editor Bronwyn McCahon says she regrets that her magazine didn't more thoroughly investigate Belle Gibson before presenting her with its Fun Fearless Female Award in Sydney last year. But she says the award - which is given to inspiring women in times of 'triumph and adversity' - won't be taken off Ms Gibson, despite the Whole Pantry founder's admission of lying about her cancers. 'She was reader nominated and reader-voted,' McCahon said on the Dan and Maz 2DayFM breakfast show this week following Belle Gibson's Australian Women's Weekly interview in which she admitted she had lied, according to the Daily Telegraph. 'Obviously, if we knew then what we know now, we would never have awarded her,' she said. Scroll down for video . 'We would never have awarded her': Cosmo editor Bronwyn McMahon says she wishes her magazine had better investigated Belle Gibson, who created The Whole Pantry wellness movement, before awarding her the 2014 Fun Fearless Female Award . 'If we had our time over again, we would probably look into it further but what do you start doing? It's a competition where readers are nominating people that they're inspired by,' McCahon said on air. 'Thankfully she didn't win the role model category, she won the social media.' Gibson, 23, created a social media empire and The Whole Pantry movement on the story of her remarkable cancer survival. Her wellness app and clean-eating cookbook promised to help her 300,000 plus followers live 'the whole life.' But doubt was cast over story when media investigations in March revealed the wellness guru had failed to hand over money raised through social media to five charities as promised. Close friends also raised concerns about her survival claims and Gibson admitted her cancers may have been 'misdiagnosed.'

Cosmo Australia editor Bronwyn McCahon has said she regrets that her magazine didn't more thoroughly investigate Belle Gibson before presenting her with its Fun Fearless Female Award in last year . Gibson told AWW her cancer lies stemmed from a troubled childhood, saying she was estranged from her mother and didn't have toys as a child . The Whole Pantry app founder had said she was not scared of death but 'heartbroken' at the idea of leaving her son Olivier . McMahon said Gibson made a convincing and moving acceptance speech at the awards ceremony in November last year. 'She got up and gave that amazing speech. You guys were there. She had all of us in tears. She was very believable and I think we all wanted to believe her,' she said.

A 3-year-old's recurring nightmare about a mysterious white van may help shed light on what really happened the day her mother died in an SUV crash that Virginia police have ruled a tragic accident. Natali Castellanos-Tyler, 30, a married mother of three from Chesterfield County, was returning home from a birthday party February 21 with her daughter, Elisa, in the backseat when she supposedly slid off a rain-soaked road, slammed her silver Ford Explorer into a tree and died at the scene. Investigators concluded that the crash was a one-car collision that was caused by poor road conditions. Scroll down for video . Loss: Natali Castellanos-Tyler, 30, pictured with her husband, Craig, and their two children, was killed in an SUV crash in Virginia two months ago to the day . Deadly impact: Castellanos-Tyler was just a few miles from her home when her 2002 Ford Explorer ran off the road in the 15400 block of Genito Road and careened into a tree . Accident: Police said the crash was a one-car collision caused by a rain-soaked road . Elisa Tyler emerged from the accident largely unscathed, but according to her father, Craig Tyler, the little girl has been plagued by disturbing nightmares and daytime visions about the accident. 'She’ll just start walking and she’ll start screaming, "The van, the white van!”' the young widower told CBS6. 'I’ll say, "What happened with the white van?" And she says, "It hurt me — it hurt my car!”' Tyler, who is now raising his their children, ages 9, 3 and 1, on his own after his wife's passing, at first did not know what to make of Elisa's night terrors. But then this past weekend he came across several Facebook posts from nearby communities of Foxcroft and Magnolia Green about a series of hit-and-run accidents involving a white box truck. One Facebook user, 17-year-old Caitlyn Thomas, claimed she was side-swiped by a white delivery-style truck on Otterdale Road March 30; the impact of the collision reportedly sent a piece of her side-view mirror crashing through the driver's window. Doubt: Little Elisa, pictured left with her parents and baby brother, and right with her mom, has been having nightmares and daytime visions about a white van, which her father believes may have something to do with the crash . Widower: Craig Tyler says the toddler, pictured above, has told him that the white van in her dreams 'hurt' her and her car . Sightings: A plain white delivery-style box truck, possibly similar to the one pictured above, has been linked to no fewer than three hit-and-run incidents in which two cars and a school bus were side-swiped . According to an eyewitness, the driver of the truck briefly slowed down and turned his head back to look at Thomas' damaged car, but then took off from the scene without waiting for police to arrive. A day earlier, Subastree Thompson said she was also side-swiped by a white box truck on the same road. According to the woman, who was driving with her 3-year-old in the

Thousands of live earthworms have been falling from the sky in Norway - a rare phenomenon being reported across large swathes of the south of the country. A biology teacher discovered the worms on the surface of the snow while he was skiing in the mountains near Bergen at the weekend. Numerous reports have been coming in after he told his story, and there have been sightings of worm rainfall. Worm rainfall: Karstein Erstad took this photograph of the worms he discovered in the snow on Sunday . Teacher Karstein Erstad told Norwegian news website The Local: 'When I found them on the snow they seemed to be dead, but when I put them in my hand I found that they were alive.' Initially he thought they had wiggled their way through the snow, but dismissed this when he realised it was up to a metre deep in some places. Following Mr Erstad's discovery on Sunday, there have been similar reports in southern Norway and sightings of worm rainfall in Lindås and Suldal near Bergen, and also hundreds of miles away in Femunden. The biology teacher told The Local: 'It’s a very rare phenomenon. 'It’s difficult to say how many times it happens, but it has only been reported a very few times.' After Mr Erstad found the worms on Sunday, there have been multiple reports or worm rainfall in Norway . He said he found reports of the same strange phenomenon taking place in Sweden in the 1920s. In 2011, a group of pupils playing football at a school in Scotland witnessed worms falling from the sky. The students at Galashiels Academy in Selkirkshire had to abandon their game when the invertebrates began falling on them. According to the Mother Nature Network, some incidents of creatures falling from the sky have taken place after tornadoes and storms and scientists think they could have been picked up and carried for miles.

Summary: Teacher Karstein Erstad found thousands of live worms on top of the snow . There have been reports of worm rainfall in Norway following his report . Mr Erstad says the 'very rare phenomenon' happened in Sweden in 1920s .


Tiger Woods says the Par-3 Contest is all about 'having fun, enjoying it and not winning'. Woods played in the tournament for the first time since 2004, and made it quite a family outing with girlfriend Lindsey Vonn at his side, and his children caddying for him. Yet asked what his goal for it is, Woods said: 'Have fun, enjoy it, and don't win. No matter what. I've been six-under through eight, and just happen to hit two balls in the water on nine.' Tiger Woods walks with his children Charlie (left) and Sam (second from right) and Lindsey Vonn (right) Woods walks with his children as they play the annual Par-3 Contest, in which many golfers invite their wives, girlfriends or children to caddie .

An elderly couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning after lighting a barbecue in their home to keep warm during a power cut, an inquest heard. Grandparents Patrick and Marianne Charles, 78 and 74, were without heating during a blackout on a cold November night last year. The couple, who had been married for 53 years, sat down in their conservatory in Eastbourne, East Sussex, with a glass of wine each and fired up the barbecue to heat up the room. An elderly couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning after lighting a barbecue in their home (pictured) to keep warm during a power cut, an inquest heard . The conservatory quickly filled with smoke and within minutes the couple were unconscious after choking on the fumes. They couple laid dead for 16 days before their son, Andrew Charles, raised the alarm on December 11 and police searched the property, Hastings Magistrates' Court heard. Maintenance work by UK Power Networks caused the power cut, the inquest was told. Mr Charles said his parents often went on holiday abroad and neighbours said the pair 'kept themselves to themselves', so it was not unusual for them to go weeks without contact. The son's statement to the hearing read: 'They loved their holidays, faithful friends and their grandchildren. They were happy and in love after 53 years of marriage.' East Sussex deputy coroner Christopher Wilkinson recorded a conclusion of accidental death. They couple laid dead at their home on Cedar Close, Eastbourne, for 16 days before their son found them . Carbon monoxide poisoning is often caused by people lighting barbecues inside tents, with campers warned not to use them in enclosed spaces. Official advice from Public Health England on carbon monoxide poisoning states: 'The potentially deadly gas, which you can’t taste, smell or see, is produced when fossil fuels or wood burn without enough oxygen. 'Several campsite deaths have been linked to carbon monoxide poisoning from barbecues in recent years. The gas can build up quickly to potentially fatal levels in enclosed spaces such as tents or caravans.' Sheila Merril, public health adviser at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said: 'Carbon monoxide (CO) is particularly dangerous because it has no colour, smell or taste. It is therefore easy to inhale without realising it. 'CO poisoning is caused by faulty or badly-serviced gas and other fossil fuel-burning appliances and systems. Barbecues should not be used indoors as this can lead to a build up of CO. 'To remain safe, families need to ensure that gas and fossil fuel appliances are serviced regularly and know the signs of CO poisoning, which include prolonged flu-like symptoms or coal or wood fires that burn slowly or go out.' Symptoms can include headaches, drowsiness and nausea, causing some victims to believe they have a minor illness, such as a cold or food poisioning, or are even just sleepy. However long exposure to the toxic fumes can have severe consequences, including unconsciousness and death.

Whether or not a person suffers hearing loss due to loud noise may depend on their genes, research suggests. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses and members of the armed forces are particularly vulnerable. In 2013, the US Department of Veterans Affairs reported hearing loss as one of the most common ailments among veterans receiving disability compensation. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses, doctors have warned . Now, however, scientists at the University of Southern California believe they have made a breakthrough in their understanding of the condition. They have identified a gene, named Nox3, found in the inner ear, that is crucial in determining how vulnerable a person is to developing hearing loss. Their research, looking at the DNA of mice exposed to noise, is the first published genome-wide association study on noise-induced hearing loss in mice. As a result of the findings, those at higher, genetic risk for hearing loss can decide whether to take precautionary measures to protect their hearing prior to hazardous noise exposure, the study authors say. 'Understanding the biological processes that affect susceptibility to hearing loss due to loud noise exposure is an important factor in reducing the risk,' said lead study author Professor Rick Friedman. 'We have made great advances in hearing restoration, but nothing can compare to protecting the hearing you have and preventing hearing loss in the first place.' Scientists have identified a gene, named Nox3, found in the inner ear, that is crucial in determining how vulnerable a person is to developing hearing loss . While some gene association studies on noise-induced hearing loss in people have been conducted in the past, all were very small and their results unreplicated. Genome wide association studies search the entire DNA for common mutations to see if any of those are linked with a trait. Mouse genome wide association studies have lead to the discovery of hundreds of genes involved in complex traits that have immediate relevance to people. The study was published in the journal PLOS Genetics. An earlier version of this piece existed but has now been amended.

Summary: Research was conducted at the University of Southern California . Scientists there have identified a gene, named Nox3, found in the inner ear . Say this is crucial in determining a person's vulnerability to hearing loss . Noise-induced hearing loss is most common work-related illness in the US .


From solar-powered models of the Queen to a £1,200 Wedgwood bust of Prince Charles, there's no item of royal memorabilia too big or too small for royalist Margaret Tyler. The pensioner, 71, has been collecting royal-themed knick-knacks for more than 40 years and now boasts a collection worth £10,000. But squeezing it all into her small terraced home hasn't been easy and her gargantuan collection now fills four whole rooms, including one dedicated to Princess Diana alone. Scroll down for video . Passionate: Margaret Tyler, 71, has amassed a vast collection of royal memorabilia . Despite having a home that quite literally bursts with items, Mrs Tyler, a mother-of-four, says she has no plans to stop collecting and describes it as 'a labour of love'. 'There's loads of royal magazines that I read, so I get up at about 4.30am to keep up with it all,' she reveals. 'I'm retired but I don't think I've actually ever worked so hard in my life. It takes a lot of work [to maintain] but it's a labour of love.' As well as collecting royal memorabilia, Mrs Tyler, a retired charity worker, is also obsessed with meeting the real thing and says she spent six days outside the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital in London when Prince George was born. 'I was there for six days,' she beams. '[My son] Andrew was born at St. Mary's and I was only there for two days. 'I just wanted to feel close to them [William and Kate], I suppose. I spent the time meeting people, and chatting.I was convinced it was going to be a girl, but it wasn't.' Extensive: Her collection includes china, a solar powered Queen and thousands of photos . Got it! A copy of the Duchess of Cambridge's £450 Issa engagement dress is in the collection . Although Mrs Tyler, who considers the Royal Family and extension of her own, didn't shake hands with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on that occasion, she has met a number of senior royals, among them the Queen. 'I've met a lot of them,' she reveals. 'I've met the Queen, I've met Prince Andrew and Prince Charles so I've been very lucky.' But despite considering herself lucky to have met so many royals, it is collecting that is her real passion and she has amassed around 10,000 items over 40 years. These are stored in four rooms, each with a different royal theme. Her drawing room is devoted to the Queen, while another, known as the Sandringham Room, has been turned into a £75-a-night B&B for royal enthusiasts. Her front room contains items created for every royal event in the past century, among them the 1953 Coronation and the 2012 Diamond Jubilee, while another space, dubbed 'the Memorial Room' is devoted exclusively to Princess Diana.

A widow has accused Southwest Airlines of leaving her 46-year-old husband to die in the bathroom when he suffered a heart attack on board. Richard Ilczyszyn, a leading financial broker, could be heard 'groaning' and 'crying' by staff on the Orange County-bound plane as it prepared to land. But rather than seeking medical help, the attendants allegedly left the father-of-three in the cubicle and, on landing, letting off all other passengers before calling paramedics. Distraught, Ilczyszyn's wife Kelly, who is a Southwest flight attendant, is filing a wrongful death suit against the airline for failing to act. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Distraught: Kelly Ilczyszyn claims her husband Richard (pictured together with their daughter Sydney) could have survived his heart attack on a Southwest flight if attendants sought medical attention rather than police . Tragic: The leading financial broker was 46 when he lost consciousness on the Orange County-bound flight . Defending their actions, a Southwest spokesman said staff are trained to treat such behavior - screaming and crying in the bathroom - as a security risk. A sheriff's report stated that Ilczyszyn's foot was wedged in the door as he 'groaned' and 'cried' at the end of the flight heading home to Orange County, California, after a business trip. Staff described him to colleagues as 'an unruly passenger,' records reveal. Kelly told CBS News: 'He should have been helped on the aircraft. If they just would have gotten help. 'One flight attendant said she opened the door and she saw the top of my husband's head and his head was down and he was just whimpering, and [she] left him there. 'The paramedics should have met the aircraft. Absolutely. Absolutely. And he would be here today.' Baffled: Kelly, a Southwest flight attendant, said the sequence of events goes against what she would do . Father: She described the pain of having to tell their daughter Sydney that Richard had died . Justice? Kelly has filed a wrongful death suit against Southwest Airlines . As a flight attendant for the same airline, Kelly explained, the sequence of events baffled her. 'I know if a passenger is in distress... we need to help them,' she said. 'We need to figure out, is he okay, does he need medical attention, what's going on. And so I was very confused why they didn't help my husband.' Ilczyszyn's passing was mourned by the financial community. The founder of independent brokerage firm iiTrader, he spent 10 years as a floor trader in Chicago, and often appeared as a commentator on television. Beyond the lawsuit, Kelly said her focus is now on their young daughter Sydney. Breaking the news, she explained, was terrible. 'That was the worst. My daughter and her father were so close. I just said, "Daddy's not coming home. Daddy went to heaven".'

Nigel Farage's 'terrible' back and shoulder pain has forced him to cut his working day and consider quitting smoking. The UKIP leader said the pain meant he was not 'firing on all cylinders' during the early weeks of the election campaign, but insists he is now 'back on form'. He revealed he was suffering after a flare-up of an old spinal injury and had been prescribed Temazepam, a strong sleeping pill and muscle relaxant. Scroll down for video . Quitting: Mr Farage said 'terrible' back and shoulder pain has forced him to cut his working day and consider ditching cigarettes . Mr Farage is known for having a cigarette in his hand but was pictured smoking an e-cigarette yesterday . The party leader admitted he had not been following his doctor's orders to the letter, leaving him seeming under par in the opening weeks of UKIP's campaign . Mr Farage has been dogged by speculation that he was ill during the run up to the General Election but he insists he is not unwell. The 51-year-old told the Daily Telegraph he has been receiving private hospital treatment in London and had been prescribed the sleeping drug Temazepam. He claims campaigning has not left him with enough time to attend NHS appointments. Certain things can make people become more at risk of developing back pain, including smoking. The increase in risk may be because smoking has caused tissue damage in the back or because smokers tend to have unhealthier lifestyles than those who don't smoke. Source: NHS . 'I was not unwell, I have not had heart palpitations, but I was getting increasingly terrible pain in my shoulder, my back, and so I was suffering from neuralgic pain,' he told the newspaper. 'I am taking a few tablets but it is something I have got to live with, and I have got to pace myself. I think I am going to have medical treatment for the rest of my life.' Mr Farage said he has cut his working day to 14 hours and may give up smoking. He was pictured smoking an e-cigarette yesterday. When asked by BBC's Newsnight earlier this week whether he was 'operating at 100%', Mr Farage said: 'To be honest with you, in the earlier part of the campaign I wasn't, and I wasn't feeling quite as sharp and as fit as I should have been.' However, he blamed it on getting his 'diary planning wrong' and said he was now feeling 'pretty bouncy'.
