First they made a life-sized bronze statue of him, and now they are creating an entire museum in his honour. Barcelona will dedicate a museum exclusively to the New York director, who picked the Catalan capital for the setting of his Oscar winning film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The cultural centre is hoped to be housed in former arts and crafts school, La Llotja, following an refurbishment of the now abandoned building. The tribute will be dedicated exclusively to the New York director, who picked Barcelona for the setting of his Oscar winning film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona . Mediapro group are behind the project, headed up by personal friend of Allen, Jaume Roures, who also produced three of his films. A spokesman from the group said to The Local: 'The Woody Allen project is under discussion but I can't say more yet. 'The neoclassical building that will house the Woody Allen Centre dates from 1883 and is located in the historic Gothic quarter of Barcelona. It is hoped the exhibition will be featured at La Llotja, which is a former art and crafts centre in the city . The building currently lies unoccupied, and it is thought a competition will decide what project is set in the 17th century building . The 17th-century building, in Spain's second largest city, aims to commemorate the work of the celebrated director, actor and writer. La Llotja is currently owned by the Generalitat de Catalunya and there will reportedly be a competition held to determine suitable projects to revive the famous building. The tribute will join a plethora of other museums dedicated to artists such as Dali and Picasso. The tribute will be in Barcelona, in the midst of many other celebrated artists and architects, such as Gaudí buildings (left). The museum follows the bronze statue (right) that was made the director after his Oscar winning film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona . Before fans get too excited, the Barcelona City Hall is yet to provide permission for the project, which is predicted to be completed in two years. Allen's celebrated film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, featured blockbuster names such as Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, who later won an Academy Award for her portrayal as emotionally unstable María Elena. Heywood 'Woody' Allen's (left) career as an actor, writer, director, comedian and playwright, has spanned more than 50 years. He has worked with big names such as Penelope Cruz (centre) and Javier Barden (right)

Summary: The project is hoped to open at the former arts centre, La Llotja . Friend and producer Jaume Roures of Mediapro is leading the tribute . The museum follows Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, set in the city .


The Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid, says he may never again see out of one eye. 'I am sightless in my right eye,' he told Fusion and Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. Reid said he is 'over' the fear that he may not regain vision in that eye following a New Year's Day exercise accident that left him battered and bruised because 'I can’t see out of my eye, and that’s the way it’s going to be until something comes along that’ll change it.' 'Right now, I’ve had 11 hours of surgery. They’ve tried. I can’t see out of my right eye. And that’s okay, I can live with that,' he said, according to Fusion. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is pictured here on Monday in his home state of Nevada. Reid said in an interview this week that he might not ever be able to see out of his right eye again following a January accident . The lawmaker's tale of how he came to sustain broken bones in his face while working out in his Nevada home with a plastic exercise band is one that has been questioned, mostly by conservatives, especially after Reid announced last month that he would retire. A March 31 Breitbart News story regaled the layout of Reid's Searchlight home and the master bathroom, where Reid says the accident occurred. Rumors have persisted since the January 1 accident that the Nevada mob may have been involved, even though there's no evidence to suggest the Reid was the victim of an organized attack. Last week the conservative Powerline blog suggested that Reid may have been beat up by his brother, Larry. Recounting a story brought forward by a man who says he attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with Larry, it suggested, based on the account, that Larry and Harry may have tussled on the day in question. Referring indirectly to the rumors, Ramos told Reid, 'It looked like somebody had hit you.' Reid told the news anchor in turn that he was 'fortunate' the band only hit him in the temple. Going into further detail about the incident than he had in the past, the 75-year-old former boxer said he was using the band because 'I was trying to maintain my firmness.' 'That was my weight training,' he said. Reid explained that he was exercising in his new home in Nevada at the time when the strip 'slipped, spun me around, about, I guess four feet.' 'I smashed my face into a cabinet so hard...' he said trailing off as Ramos interrupted him with another question.

Pep Guardiola went into Bayern Munich's Champions League second-leg against Porto under intensifying pressure after a 3-1 defeat in the first encounter. His side responded ruthlessly, obliterating Porto - and Guardiola's doubters - with a relentless attacking display and a 6-1 scoreline at the Allianz Arena to reach the semi-final but it is not just the blistering offensive play that seizes the front pages in Germany on Wednesday. That honour is taken by Guardiola's trousers, which tore at the top of his leg during the game.

You won’t find it written down anywhere in black and white yet it remains one of the unseen by-laws of the game: until such time as an almighty mess is sitting squarely on FIFA’s front step, the governing body chooses to keep the door bolted firmly shut. Rows over goal-line technology were hardly something new when Frank Lampard’s infamous ‘ghost’ goal against Germany in the 2010 World Cup finally brought matters to a head. The 2000 Africa Cup of Nations Final between Nigeria and Cameroon had already been scarred by a similar howler while the world watched agog five years later as a Pedro Mendez effort which crossed the line at Old Trafford was incredibly missed by all the officials despite keeper Roy Carroll ending up tangled in the rigging. Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has a goal-bound shot blocked by the outstretched arm of Josh Meekings . Such was the hullabaloo over the incident involving the Portuguese star that FIFA did, in fact, begrudgingly make some noises about trialling goal-line systems but it was no more than platitudes to appease the masses. It took Lampard’s ruled-out effort in Bloemfontein – with the ball being clearly a yard over Manuel Neuer’s line in the last-16 match – for the dam to finally burst. Despite initially shrugging off calls for the adoption of goal-line technology to be approved, FIFA relented two years later with the system fully operational last year in Brazil. The lesson for Scottish football fans still bemused by events at Hampden Park on Sunday when the officials failed to spot a potentially game-changing handball? Perhaps only when such an outrage occurs in the World Cup in Russia in three years’ time will common sense prevail. For those who believe the SFA are intransigent to football embracing the kind of video technology that would have seen Josh Meekings red carded and Celtic awarded a penalty in the Scottish Cup semi-final, here’s some news… . In February, the International Football Board – the SFA, FA, Irish FA, Welsh FA and FIFA – gathered in Belfast supposedly to discuss the possibility of approving trials. Before the meeting, FA representative David Gill made no bones about his association’s stance. Griffiths heads the ball, which is deflected clearly off the hand of Inverness' Josh Meekings (left) on Sunday . ‘We can’t live in the past,’ he stated. ‘Greg Dyke the (FA chairman) has come out and said he embraces it, and I think in certain circumstances I would look at it. We’ve got to move forward. The game is getting much quicker. ‘The TV coverage, you know, 28, 30 cameras a game. Everything is replayed, replayed. So how do we use that? My personal view is yes, sensibly, but it needs to be done in a manner that doesn’t detract from the fast-paced, quick action of football.’ Despite cases also being forwarded by the SFA and Irish FA to at least take the matter further, FIFA, aided by a sceptical Welsh representative, simply kicked the matter into the long grass. It won’t be discussed again for

Summary: Celtic were denied place in Scottish Cup final by shocking decision . Leigh Griffiths' header was blocked by Josh Meekings' hand . None of the officials managed to spot the game-changing decision . Additional officials behind goals has proved an extraordinary waste of time . But FIFA will require a higher profile blunder to change their laws .


Drank himself to death: Charles Terreni Jr had a blood alcohol level of .375 when he died . An 18-year-old University of Carolina freshman who was found dead after a St Patrick's Day party died of alcohol poisoning in a 'tragic and totally preventable death', a coroner has ruled. Charles Terreni Jr was four times over the legal alcohol limit when he died, an autopsy has found. He was found at the Pi Kappa Alpha house in Columbia, not far from campus, around 10:30am on March 18, the morning after an alleged 'kegger' at the house for the annual Irish holiday. Terreni's official blood alcohol reading was .375, according to WISTV. He is the son of Columbia attorney Charles Terreni, a former staff member for then-Lt. Gov. Bob Peeler, a former state Public Service Commissioner and a man involved in legislative redistricting. The death is still under investigation. Circumstances leading up to his death are not clear, but the house was draped in St Patrick's decorations and a beer keg could be seen outside. Neither the fraternity nor the university has explained the situation in detail. However, USC suspended the fraternity in the wake of the death. Neighbors said the house threw a party the night before, and noted the leftover keg Wednesday morning. 'I would say there are three houses there, and I don't know who exactly lives in them, but there's always a frequency of parties going on,' neighbor Mehrdad Vejdani told Fox Carolina. 'At times, there can be a hundred people in that place. Live band in the backyard, which is fine. I mean, some noise, but it doesn't bother us too much.' Scroll down for video . Suspended: The Pi Kappa Alpha house at the University of South Carolina has been suspended, after a brother was found dead in a house Wednesday morning . Rager? Neighbors said the house had a party the night before, on St Patrick's Day. On Wednesday, several stray cups and a keg were seen on the porch, as well as clover decorations . The Columbia Police Department and Richland County Coroner's Office have both labeled the death 'suspicious'. Responding the Terreni's death, the fraternity's national office released a statement saying the USC chapter had been placed on leave pending the investigation. It said: 'The fraternity’s thoughts and prayers are with the family of this young man and the brothers of Xi Chapter'. A spokesman for USC added: 'There are a lot of rumors out there about the circumstances surrounding the death but at this point the matter remains under investigation.' 'While we await further information we are focused on helping our community grieve and heal.' This is the second incident at the fraternity in a week. Last Friday, the University of Connecticut chapter lost recognition for hazing members, providing alcohol to underage students and harassing women. Pi Kappa Alpha was founded in 1868 at the University of Virginia and has now grown to include some 220 groups across the U.S. and Canada. The house has been plagued by controversy before. In November 2012,

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has been forced to withdraw from a charity match after picking up an ankle injury that leaves the Barclays Premier League leaders with no fit strikers ahead of their game against Arsenal on Sunday. Drogba has withdrawn from Monday's 'Match against Poverty' in St Etienne to add to the Blues' injury woes upfront after Diego Costa and Loic Remy both missed Saturday's 1-0 win over Manchester United. The Ivorian centre forward played the full 90 minutes in Chelsea's last two games, wins over Queens Park Rangers and United, but is now a potential doubt for Sunday's trip to the Emirates Stadium with the ankle problem. Chelsea's Didier Drogba has been forced to withdraw from a charity match after picking up an ankle injury . Drogba has withdrawn from Monday's 'Match against Poverty' after playing against Manchester United . Ander Herrera is tackled by Drogba during an all-action performance in the 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge . Drogba posted on Twitter: 'Disappointed not to be able to play the #MAP2015 because of an ankle injury but still supporting #EbolaResponse.' When one follower claimed Drogba was pulling out to avoid an injury before the end of the season, the 37-year-old replied: 'I'm already injured if you can read well my friend.' Costa returns to training with the first-team squad this week, but Chelsea may be reluctant to throw him in from the start against Arsenal, given how he broke down with the hamstring problem that has troubled him for much of the season against Stoke City. Remy was not even on the bench against United despite manager Jose Mourinho saying he had a better than 50/50 chance of appearing at Stamford Bridge. Dominic Solanke, a 17-year-old with just one first-team appearance, was the only recognised striker among the substitutes. The Blues need nine points from their remaining six games to guarantee a first Premier League title in five years, although they could be celebrating as early as April 29 if they win at Arsenal and then against Leicester City. Diego Costa returns to training with the first-team squad this week but may not be thrown in against Arsenal . Loic Remy (right) has also suffered from injury problems and was not ready to return against United . Dominic Solanke, pictured with the UEFA Youth League trophy, was the only striker on the bench on Saturday . After the win over United, when asked if Chelsea were celebrating winning the title early, Drogba said: 'You should never celebrate too early. You must respect the championship, respect the other teams. Until we are champions and even then, we respect the other teams.' Aside from their three forwards, Chelsea are without any other injuries heading into Sunday's game.

Summary: Didier Drogba has picked up a thigh injury and pulled out of a charity game . Chelsea are already missing Diego Costa and Loic Remy through injury . They travel to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday at 4pm . Costa returns to first-team training this week to boost Jose Mourinho .


The BBC has refused to hand over the emails of a deceased woman to her grieving husband, who believes they will prove she was ‘bullied’ by the Corporation’s management towards the end of her life. Mother-of-two Marie Csaszar, 45, died last September following a ten-year battle with a brain tumour. She had worked for seven years at the BBC’s financial centre in Cardiff as a contracts manager, but according to her husband Paul, she was forced out of the post into another job after drawing attention to management blunders which he says cost licence-fee payers about £150,000. Whistleblower: Marie Csaszar died after a 10-year battle with a brain tumour. Her widower has had a request for her work emails, which he believes will show she was being bullied by bosses, refused by the BBC . Legal experts described the case as ‘highly unusual’, but predicted that it could be followed by similar claims as digital documents such as emails and social media posts play an increasingly important part in people’s lives. Facebook users in the US have the chance to designate a ‘legacy contact’ who can take over parts of their account after their death. Mr Csaszar says he believes the BBC failed in its duty of care to his late wife, and the treatment she received from management affected her health. He asked the BBC under the Data Protection Act for copies of his wife’s emails, in the hope they will provide evidence of her ‘appalling’ treatment by the Corporation, which he has spent months pursuing. However, he was told last month by the BBC that under the Act, personal data is defined as only ‘data which relates to a living individual’. Despite Mr Csaszar being his wife’s legal next of kin, an email from the BBC – seen by The Mail on Sunday – read: ‘Unfortunately as your wife has sadly passed away it is not possible for you to exercise the right to access her personal data under the Data Protection Act.’ Mr Csaszar said his wife gave evidence to the BBC’s 2013 Respect At Work review that was set up to look into sexism and bullying following the Jimmy Savile scandal. He said it was her evidence which led the chairwoman, Dinah Rose QC, to conclude some senior Corporation staff were viewed as ‘untouchable’. Details of the individuals who were the subject of Mr Csaszar’s complaint cannot be published for legal reasons but they involve at least one senior manager on a six-figure salary. Last night, self-employed businessman Mr Csaszar, 48, said: ‘Marie was being hammered from one side to the other towards the end of her life. Nobody stood up and objected. Locked out: The BBC has refused to hand over the work emails of Marie Csaszar to her widower Paul . ‘The treatment which Marie experienced at the hands of the BBC affected her recovery. She was constantly upset and left in tears, saying, “I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve being treated like this.” ‘They didn’t want Marie on the staff because she knew

Esa’s Rosetta spacecraft has captured stunning images of a dust jet erupting from comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The jet may have been caused by a wave of heat reaching ice trapped under the surface, causing an explosion of material. But it is unusual, because so far such activity has only been spotted on the day-side of the comet - not the night, like this. Scroll down for video . This animation shows the jet erupting from comet 67P. The first image was taken at 7:13am BST (2:13am EST) on 12 March, and the second was taken two minutes later. The jet is unusual because it is erupting from the dark underside of the comet, whereas such activity had only been seen on the day side so far. Credit: Esa . The two images, released yesterday, were taken by the Osiris camera on the Rosetta spacecraft from a distance of 47 miles (75km), according to Esa. As the comet gets closer to the sun, its surface gets warmer, causing frozen gases to erupt from the surface, carrying dust particles. But it’s not clear if this caused the jet - or an explosion of material caused by ice sublimating (turning from solid to gas) underground. In the first image, taken at 7:13am BST (2:13am EST) on 12 March, the upper comet can be seen with several rays of dust illuminated by the sun, while the dark underside shows no such features. Two minutes later though, in the second image, a spectacular new jet emerges from the dark side, hurling dust into space at 26ft (eight metres) per second. ‘This was a chance discovery,’ said Osiris principal investigator Dr Holger Sierks from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany. ‘No one has ever witnessed the wake-up of a dust jet before. It is impossible to plan such an image.’ How or why the activity occurred in the dark region of the comet, though, is not yet understood. ‘It is possible that the first rays of sunlight hit some cliffs or outcrops that remained hidden to Rosetta due to the orbital position at the time,’ said Osiris scientist Dr Jean-Baptiste Vincent, also from the MPS. The Rosetta probe, which carried the Philae lander, launched into space in 2004, using the gravity of Earth and Mars to slingshot its way towards comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It chased comet 67P through space for more than ten years, and entered orbit in August 2014. After a four billion mile (6.5 billion km) journey, the probe then successfully released the Philae lander from its grip to land on the comet on 12 November 2014, travelling at 3.3ft (one metre) per second relative to the comet. But when it first made contact with the surface it failed to fire harpoons that would have kept it attached to the comet. This resulted in it bouncing to a height of 0.62 miles (1km) above the comet before again landing on the surface. It then bounced again, but to a much lower altitude. Philae managed to perform more than 90 per cent of

Summary: Scientists in Germany observed a jet erupting from comet 67P . The event was captured by the Osiris camera on the Rosetta spacecraft . In images two minutes apart, the jet appears on the dark side of the comet . It may have formed when melting ice caused an explosion of material .


Tiger Woods ended a week of speculation and debate over the state of his game by announcing on Friday that he will play next week in the Masters. The 39-year-old played an 18-hole practice round on Tuesday at Augusta National, and Golf Channel said he was seen on the practice range Friday morning at the club. 'I'm playing in the Masters,' Woods said on his website. 'It's obviously very important to me, and I want to be there. 'I've worked a lot on my game, and I'm looking forward to competing. I'm excited to get to Augusta, and I appreciate everyone's support.' Scroll down for video . Woods announced on Friday that he will be playing at the Masters in Augusta next week (above Woods at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines on February 5) He said: 'I've worked a lot on my game, and I'm looking forward to competing. I'm excited to get to Augusta' Woods, a four-time Masters champion, last competed at the Farmers Insurance Open on February 5 at Torrey Pines when he walked off the course after 11 holes because of tightness in his lower back, and after another shockingly bad display of chipping. That followed a missed cut at the Phoenix Open, where he shot a career-high 82. He will have gone nine weeks without competition when he hits his opening tee shot on Thursday at the Masters, which is not unprecedented for Woods. He went nearly five months without playing when he returned in 2010 from a crisis in his personal life that led to one of the greatest downfalls in sport, and he tied for fourth that year. Scrutiny might be even greater this time around. After two trips to Augusta National this week, Woods announced his return to the competition (above Woods at the Phoenix open on January 30) Woods hits a shot on the fourth hole during the final round of the 2013 Masters Tournament at Augusta National in April 2013 . The last time Woods took an extended break before the Masters, he had won his previous tournament at the Australian Masters. Now, his game has been in disarray over a series of injuries and another change in coaching. Woods has plunged to No. 104 in the world ranking, his lowest spot since a week before his first professional victory in 1996. He last won a tournament in August 2013 at the Bridgestone Invitational, and he has not had a top ten since the end of 2013. Woods missed the Masters last year because of back surgery to alleviate a pinched nerve. Four tournaments into his return, he again dealt with back pain and sat out the final four months of the season to fully recover and get stronger. Woods celebrated making the winning putt on the 18th green during the 2005 Masters Golf Tournament at Augusta National . But when he returned at his Hero World Challenge in December, he tied for last in an 18-man field and chipped so poorly that some analysts said he had the chipping yips.

Summary: Four-time Masters champion made the announcement on Friday . He said he has worked a lot on his game and is excited to compete . Woods last competed on February 5 at the Farmers Insurance Open when he walked off the course because of tightness in his lower back .


It has been 40 years since the historic evacuation of the of Saigon as the North Vietnamese army descended upon the city, and among the many stories of heroism and bravery is that of a father who piloted a military helicopter to fly his family to safety. Ba Van Nguyen was able to fly a CH-47 Chinook, the largest helicopter in the South Vietnamese army, with his three young children and wife out of the city and into the South China Sea where they were all ultimately saved by the USS Kirk. This after Nguyen somehow managed to pilot the helicopter while getting out of his flight suit and jumping into the ocean just seconds before it crashed - all on his own. Scroll down for videos . Histo4ric: Ba Van Nguyen piloted a military helicopter (above) on his own to save his family during the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975 . Saved: He flew towards the USS Kirk which was too small to allow the helicopter to land, and so he hoovered over as his family (daughter circled in red) safely jumped out . Helping hand: Sailors on the ship caught the family (above) as they jumped out . In an interview with CNN, some members of the family are revealing what happened on that historic day, and their lives in the years after. They were also part of the PBS special, The Last Days of Vietnam. On April 29, 1975, Nguyen moved his family to his mother-in-law's house, telling them he would be back the next day in the Chinook, and that they would hear him coming when he was close. 'If you hear a Chinook coming, get ready,' Nguyen told his wife. When he arrived later that morning, his family and a few friends got on - as gunfire from the communist forces grew louder and louder as they came closer to the city - and flew out towards the water. Shortly after however, they realized they were running low on fuel, and that is when Nguyen reached out to the Kirk asking for permission to land. 'I must land or crash into the sea,' Nguyen said. 'Please help us.' Bravery: Nguyen then flew back out to sea (above) and jumped from the helicopter . Safe: He managed to avoid the large amounts of shrapnel (above) when the plan crashed . Heading back: A motorboat soon grabbed him from the sea (above) as he wore just a shirt and his boxers . The Kirk however was not large enough to withstand the force of such a large helicopter, which would likely sink the ship and cause the death of everyone onboard. And so it was decided that Nguyen would at least try and save his family. He hoovered over the ship as every passenger jumped onto the deck and were caught by sailors, including his wife and three young children. That is when he went back out to sea and managed to do the impossible and somehow pilot alone, get out of his suit and jump into

ISIS has released a chilling new propaganda video warning there is 'no safety for any American on the globe' and claiming the U.S. will burn in another 9/11-style attack. Titled 'We Will Burn America', the video calls on supporters to attack the U.S. on its own soil, while claiming its citizens' sense of safety is a 'mirage'. The 11 minute-long video also forms a showcase of some of the militants' bloodiest atrocities - it features the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley, as well as several mass beheadings and the horrific burning of Jordanian pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh. The video, titled 'We Will Burn America', includes footage of the 9/11 terror attacks and several recent ISIS-inspired atrocities . The video's subtitles claim America 'thinks it's safe' because of it's geographical location . It goes on to state that for this reason, the U.S. believes it can invade 'the Muslim lands' Previous jihadis managed to carry out the 9/11 attacks with 'less resources' than what ISIS currently has, the video claimed. Pictured is Osama bin Laden in a still image taken from the group's propaganda video . Subtitles added to the footage claim that previous 'mujahideen' - a term used to describe someone waging jihad - managed to carry out the 9/11 Twin Tower attacks with little resources. In broken English, it goes on: 'By Allah's willing, the fear will spread among them again soon. 'Here it is America now losing billions still to make sure their country is safe. But today, it's time for payback. 'By the grace of Allah, today the mujahideen are much more stronger and they have more resources (than) before. Thus they are able to burn (the) United States again.' As well as detailing some of the group's acts of savagery, it also shows footage of the planes hitting the World Trade Centre in September 2001. Others incidents to feature in the video include the killings carried out by Amedy Coulibaly, the French-born gunman who massacred four civilians and a police officer in Paris over two days in January. It was after he was killed in a shootout with police that a video surfaced of him pledging allegiance to ISIS, while sitting in front of the group's now notorious black flag. Canadian Michael Zehaf-Bibeau's murder of corporal Nathan Cirillo, at Ottawa's Parliament Hill, is also included. As well as showing footage of ISIS militants in combat, the video shows news footage of the Twin Towers attacks . It also shows news footage which emerged in the wake of French gunman Amedy Coulibaly's deadly rampage, in which he pledged alleigance to ISIS . Another incident which featured in the propaganda video was the October 2014 attack on Ottawa's Parliament Hill . Authorities later said his attack was ISIS-inspired, although Zehaf-Bibeau was said to have mental health issues and a drug addiction. The video is not the first in which the group threatens the U.S. In January, ISIS militants threatened to behead Barack Obama and turn the U.S. into a Muslim province in another gruesome video that emerged from their self-styled

Summary: ISIS has released yet another bloodthirsty propaganda video . The chilling video states there is 'no safety for any American on the globe' It features footage of the Twin Tower attacks and threatens another 9/11 . Footage of beheadings, burnings and other atrocities is broadcast .


It may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but this stunning image shows that a white dwarf star ripped apart a planet as it came too close. Astronomers say the unique event happened in an ancient cluster of stars at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. A white dwarf star - the dense core of a star like the Sun that has run out of nuclear fuel - may have ripped apart a planet as it came too close, they believe. Nasa says a white dwarf star - the dense core of a star like the Sun that has run out of nuclear fuel - ripped apart a planet at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. When a star reaches its white dwarf stage, nearly all of the material from the star is packed inside a radius one hundredth that of the original star. This means that, for close encounters, the gravitational pull of the star and the associated tides, caused by the difference in gravity's pull on the near and far side of the planet, are greatly enhanced. For example, the gravity at the surface of a white dwarf is over ten thousand times higher than the gravity at the surface of the Sun. Using several telescopes, including Nasa's Chandra X-ray Observatory, researchers have found evidence that a white dwarf star - the dense core of a star like the Sun that has run out of nuclear fuel - may have ripped apart a planet as it came too close.

For example, the gravity at the surface of a white dwarf is over ten thousand times higher than the gravity at the surface of the Sun. 'A planet is first pulled away from its parent star by the gravity of the dense concentration of stars in a globular cluster,' the experts write. 'When such a planet passes too close to a white dwarf, it can be torn apart by the intense tidal forces of the white dwarf. 'The planetary debris is then heated and glows in X-rays as it falls onto the white dwarf. 'The observed amount of X-rays emitted at different energies agrees with expectations for a tidal disruption event.' Researchers used the European Space Agency's INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) to discover a new X-ray source near the center of the globular cluster NGC 6388. NGC 6388 in the X-ray spectrum. Chandra's excellent X-ray vision enabled the astronomers to determine that the X-rays from NGC 6388 were not coming from the putative black hole at the center of the cluster, but instead from a location slightly off to one side. Optical observations had hinted that an intermediate-mass black hole with mass equal to

A gay couple getting married this summer had their wedding plans featured on Hillary Clinton's announcement that she is joining the race for the White House. Democrat campaigners Jared Milrad and Nate Johnson, from Chicago, Illinois, claimed they were surprised to find out that their same-sex wedding plans were featured on Sunday's video announcing Clinton's 2016 bid. The pair were seen walking hand in hand in what quickly became one of the most widely viewed political clips of the year. Milrad's voice is heard in a voiceover saying: 'I’m getting married this summer to someone I really care about.' Scroll down for videos . Jared Milrad (pictured right) and his fiancé Nate Johnson, who are campaigning Democrats, were featured in Hillary Clinton's video announcing her 2016 White House bid . The couple, who are planning a summer wedding, were featured walking hand in hand during Clinton's video to announce her 2016 bid for the White House . 'We were both out shopping, working on wedding invitations,' Milrad said of finding out about their new-found fame. He said he was overjoyed to be part of the Clinton rollout - and part of a large-scale change in U.S. social attitudes. 'It shows how far we've come,' said Milrad, 31-year-old lawyer and social activist, pleased that public support for same-sex marriage rights has grown so far as to appear in a presidential campaign launch. Mr Johnson, 30, is a project manager for a health care consulting company. The couple will get married in July in a Chicago park bordering Lake Michigan then have their reception at a LGBT community center, The Washington Blade reported. The couple told The Blade that they would be making financial contributions to Clinton's campaign and would volunteer. Both have previously volunteered in presidential campaigns. Johnson supported Clinton in 2008 while Milrad worked for Obama in New Hampshire. The gay couple were only one in a diverse series of aspirational Americans featured in the Clinton ad, which casts a broad demographic net as she hunts for a winning coalition of voters. The video also featured Spanish-speaking brothers preparing to start a business, a mother seeking to return to the work force, an Asian-American college graduate and expectant African-American parents. 'Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion,' Clinton says on the video. 'So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote.' The vibrant clip, set to snappy music and featuring Clinton for less than half the video's length, is a dramatic departure from Clinton's drab announcement of seven years ago. The video which kicked off her former unsuccessful campaign showed Clinton on a couch, talking about ending the Iraq war, shrinking deficits and expanding affordable health care. Mr Milrad, who is the founder of social enterprise program the Civic Legal Corps, worked for Obama during the 2008 Democrat primaries in New Hampshire when the President was running against Clinton .

A few months ago Aston Villa would have been happy with Premier League survival. Now they have a chance for so much more. In recent years Villa have struggled to compete but they are a proper club. When I left Arsenal for Villa it was because I felt they shared similar traits - tradition, history and both took pride of place in their communities. Villa were one of the founder members of the Football League and in the early years of the FA Cup, the trophy was almost theirs to keep. Now this group has a chance to embrace that history and write the next chapter. Aston Villa celebrate in the Wembley dressing room after beating Liverpool to reach this year's FA Cup final . Martin Keown joined Aston Villa in 1986 and made the move because of the club's rich history and tradition . Tim Sherwood has invigorated this side and you can feel that improvement in their performances. But for all the excitement Villa fans must be patient. Talking about getting a club ‘back where they belong’ can be a dangerous game. Villa won the European Cup in 1982 and while there’s nothing wrong with being ambitious, fans have to be realistic. Previous generations at Villa have seen success and can be too demanding. Even when they were challenging for the Champions League under Martin O’Neill there were still rumblings of discontent. When things do start to go wrong, Villa Park can be an unforgiving place. I experienced that when I was relegated and it can be a difficult place to play. But what ground isn’t when things are going badly? In the past Villa Park has been so loud players could hardly hear themselves think and the atmosphere the fans created at Wembley was magnificent. Now with Sherwood hopefully a generation can grow with his side. Making the final is a fine achievement and Sherwood and his players will be desperate to become part of the fabric of a fantastic club. Aston Villa celebrate winning the European Cup after beating Bayern Munich in Rotterdam 33 years ago . Manager Tim Sherwood has invigorated Aston Villa and has considerably improved the side's performances .

Summary: Aston Villa have a chance of FA Cup glory after reaching the final . A few months ago the Midlands club only had survival to contend with . The Aston Villa squad can write the next chapter in the club's history .


A small 'hot spot' in the U.S. Southwest is responsible for producing the largest concentration of the greenhouse gas methane seen over the United States - and is the subject of a major new investigation to find out why. The hot spot, near the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, covers only about 2,500 square miles (6,500 square kilometers), or half the size of Connecticut. A recent Nasa map shows is produces more than triple the standard ground-based estimate - and researchers say they don't know why.. Scroll down for video . The Four Corners area (red) is the major U.S. hot spot for methane emissions in this map showing how much emissions varied from average background concentrations from 2003-2009 (dark colors are lower than average; lighter colors are higher). The hot spot, near the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, covers only about 2,500 square miles. Methane is very efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Like carbon dioxide, it contributes to global warming. To calculate the emissions rate that would be required to produce the observed concentration of methane in the air, the authors performed high-resolution regional simulations using a chemical transport model, which simulates how weather moves and changes airborne chemical compounds. Researchers from several institutions are now in the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest with a suite of airborne and ground-based instruments, aiming to uncover reasons for a mysterious methane 'hot spot' detected from space. 'With all the ground-based and airborne resources that the different groups are bringing to the region, we have the unique chance to unequivocally solve the Four Corners mystery,' said Christian Frankenberg, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, who is heading NASA's part of the effort. Other investigators are from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) in Boulder, Colorado; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Last fall, researchers including Frankenberg reported that a small region around the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah had the highest concentration of methane over background levels of any part of the United States. An instrument on a European Space Agency satellite measuring greenhouse gases showed a persistent atmospheric hot spot in the area between 2003 and 2009. The amount of methane observed by the satellite was much higher than previously estimated. The satellite observations were not detailed enough to reveal the actual sources of the methane in the Four Corners. Likely candidates include venting from oil and gas activities, which are primarily coalbed methane exploration and extraction in this region; active coal mines; and natural gas seeps. Researchers from CIRES, NOAA's Earth Systems Research Laboratory and Michigan are conducting a field campaign called TOPDOWN (Twin Otter Projects Defining Oil Well and Natural gas emissions) 2015, bringing airborne and ground-based instruments to investigate possible sources of the methane hot spot. Shiprock, New Mexico, is in the Four Corners region where an atmospheric methane "hot spot" can be seen from space. Researchers

Area near the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah covers 2,500 square miles . Hotspot predates widespread fracking in the area .


A group of technologically-challenged senior citizens are left completely and utterly befuddled by popular messaging app Snapchat after attempting to use it for the first time, in order to send the perfect selfie. In the latest video from the Elders React series on TheFineBros YouTube channel, the clueless men and women are given their first introduction to Snapchat with hilarious - and mixed – results, all of which are caught on camera. And while many of them say they understand the appeal of the social media app, which allows users to share photos that will disappear within 10 seconds, they still can't really wrap their heads around the point of it. 'I'm not into all this,' a woman named Darlene says of that app. 'This is yet another play on this "tweet" thing that's happening.' Scroll down for video . Not a fan: Don (pictured) struggles to take a selfie in the latest Elders React video, in which he and other senior citizens learn about the photo messaging app Snapchat . Before being given some quick instruction about what to do with the app, many of the elders admit that they have no idea what Snapchat is - never mind how to use it. 'I just found out about Yelp,' Darlene says with exacerbation. Meanwhile, another confused woman named Vera calls the app 'Snapchess'. But before the group can start sending pictures, they are given cell phones so they can learn how to snap their own selfies - which proves to be an almost-insurmountable task in itself. 'I don't know how to use an iPhone,' Catherine says with a laugh before they get started. When Vera realizes that the app involves photos, she is disappointed. 'Oh, it's pictures,' she says. 'I hate pictures.' After they take turns learning how to flip the phone's camera around, they start snapping away, but most of them are quick to voice their displeasure with their photos. Feeling nostalgic: Liz can't wrap her head around the idea that the photos on Snapchat disappear. 'Wouldn't you want to save it?' she asks . 'Oh god that is a gross selfie,' Yehuda, father of the Fine brothers, the creators of the channel, exclaims, while Catherine asks: 'Can I have a better picture? That is an awful picture.' They soon move on to captioning their own photos, which presents its own set of issues, as the seniors struggle with typing their messages. 'I just want to say: "It's Me,"' Don explains with frustration. 'It looks like it says: "Light Me."' But almost all of them enjoy the feature that allows them to color on their photos. 'I always wanted to know what I looked like with a mustache on,' Liz says with delight as she adds purple facial hair to her selfie. After they upload their photos to the app, Alex asks: 'Who would care?' Perfect users: Rhoda notes that politicians should get on the app because of all of their 'sexting' and 'nude pictures' What fun: Rhoda can be seeing drawing a purple bow on her selfie. Most of

The celebrations will continue long after Barnet’s delirious supporters are cleared off the pitch as the club returned to the Football League following a two-year absence. Three points were all that separated Barnet from the Conference title, and two goals from Mauro Vilhete ensured Martin Allen’s fourth spell in charge of the club would be his most successful. This was a potential banana skin. Lose or draw, and Bristol Rovers would have taken Barnet’s place. Yet those in the South West will have to make do with the play-offs. There was to be no drama on this finale. Mauro Vilhete (right) celebrates with Curtis Weston after opening the scoring for Barnet on Saturday .

Subs not used: Dixon, Allan, Orrell . Referee: Darren England . Attendance: 5,233 . Gateshead played their part in the script to perfection, and were continually on the back foot. Allen made sure of that by being the most animated figure at the sold-out Hive. There is just something about this club that keeps attracting the man nicknamed Mad Dog back. Yet he looked ready to pull his hair out after just four minutes when John Akinde cut the ball back for Michael Gash, only for the Barnet attacker’s tame shot to be cleared off the line by Jamie Chandler. Barnet were dominating, while Gateshead were simply surviving. Yet the breakthrough arrived in the 25th minute. A straightforward set-piece resulted in a free header for one of the smallest men on the pitch. Vilhete rose highest, and eased the tension. No reaction from Allen. No clenched fist. Nothing. He simply turned away, and walked back to his seat. There was still work to do. They could have made it two shortly after, when captain Curtis Weston’s volley met the crossbar. It was beginning to look like Gateshead were in for a long afternoon, and so they were. The daylight arrived in the 48th minute. Michael Gash’s header was instinctively kept out by Gateshead goalkeeper Adam Bartlett, but the rebound was not. Vilhete made no mistake, thumping the ball home from just three yards out. This time, Allen celebrated. Yet Gateshead wanted to remind them they were still there. A header from Carl Finnigan was denied by the out-stretched hand of goalkeeper Adam Bartlett. As good a save you would ever see, no matter which division. That was about as close Gateshead came to threatening

Summary: Barnet will return to League Two next season following emphatic victory . Two goals from Mauro Vilhete secured 2-0 win over Gateshead at The Hive . The Bees clinched the Conference title ahead of Bristol Rovers . Barnet players and fans celebrated on the pitch following final whistle .


From a man obsessed with looking like Kim Kardashian to a woman who had cement injected into her face, reality TV’s favorite doctors are back to taking on some of the world’s most shocking plastic surgeries gone wrong. Dr Terry Dubrow and Dr Paul Nassif, the resident experts on the popular E! series Botched, which is due to begin its second season tonight, spoke to Cosmopolitan.com about the 'jaw-dropping' cases they were faced with while filming the upcoming season of the show, explaining that many of the various cosmetic blunders featured go beyond anything either of them had ever been faced with before. 'These cases are not found in any textbook,' Dr Dubrow said. 'You can't call any surgeon and say, "Have you ever seen this?" because no one has ever seen this.' Scroll down for video . Dynamic duo: Dr Paul Nassif (L) and Dr Terry Dubrow (R) are back to taking on plastic surgery gone wrong on the second season of the E! reality show Botched, which premieres tonight . Regrettable decision: One of their clients this season, Rajee Rajindra Narinesingh (pictured), had her face injected with 'cement' at an underground cosmetic filler party . He added that, not only are these seemingly unrepairable surgeries shocking, but they are made even more astonishing by the fact that he and Dr Nassif 'have to do something' to help these patients – even it seems at times as though nothing can help to repair the damage that has been done. During the interview, the duo, who have seen their fair share of cosmetic disasters, also stressed that cosmetic procedures are 'as serious as brain surgery' - which is one of the reasons why there are so many terrible outcomes. Dr Dubrow, who said that he and Dr Nassif were 'floored' by 60per cent of the surgeries they had to fix this season, noted that the show's producers had to give them time to figure out what they were going to do before they proceeded with a client's surgery so that they could come up with an effective means of fixing the often horrifying mistakes made by other plastic surgeons. He explained that he started this season by putting the cases in the photo section of his cell phone and every morning he would wake up, look at them and ask himself: 'How can I make this possible?' He referred to this season as a 'David and Goliath' story because the problems they came across were so impossible to face. Barbie world: Justin Jedlica, who is known as Human Ken, stops by the office to meet with Dr Dubrow . One of their patients this season, Rajee Rajindra Narinesingh, received black market injections from a self-proclaimed ‘physician’ who had her face filled with cement at a 'pumping party'. Dr Nassif said that Rajee, who is transgender, underwent the controversial – and incredibly dangerous – procedure 'an underground party where people get injections of black market product'. The unknown 'fillers' can be anything from non-medical grade silicone to food products to even caulking used

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has warned his side must overcome a difficult obstacle at Crystal Palace to avoid losing yet more ground to their rivals. Fading champions City had to watch in frustration on Saturday, not only as Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League, but as Arsenal and Manchester United shunted them down to fourth. Slipping to such a position was not in the script when City pulled level with Chelsea on New Year's Day and any further slips would increase the pressure on Pellegrini significantly. Manuel Pellegrini has warned his side must overcome a difficult obstacle at Crystal Palace . Manchester City manager Pellegrini does not want his side to lose any more ground in the race for the title . With the Manchester derby coming next week, City can ill afford to drop points at Selhurst Park on Monday but Pellegrini knows the Eagles have become a tough proposition under Alan Pardew. Pellegrini said: 'Maybe they are playing different. They are in a good moment and they are playing with a lot of trust. 'With the other manager also Crystal Palace was a difficult team, but now they are playing at home.' City laboured to a 3-0 win over Palace at the Etihad Stadium in December in what proved Neil Warnock's penultimate match in charge. Pardew was appointed early in the new year and since then they have proved highly resilient, losing just three times in the Premier League and removing relegation fears. The Monday fixture has meant both sides have had to be patient for their return to action after the international break. It is a wait that could have been advantageous in terms of extra rest had their rivals lost over the weekend. Manchester City players celebrate scoring against West Bromwich Albion in their last match . Pellegrini knows hisside can ill afford to fall further behind Chelsea in the Premier League title race . Pellegrini (left) will try to close the gap between his team and Chelsea at the top of the Premier League . It has not turned out that way with Saturday's positive results for Chelsea, Arsenal and United turning the heat up on City, but Pellegrini claims it does not make any difference. The Chilean said: 'I don't think we have excuses about those things. We are going to play the last game of this matchday but that doesn't matter. 'It is not an excuse and not an advantage. All the national players arrived back on Wednesday - most of them - so every team had three or four days to prepare. It is not so important.' Should Pablo Zabaleta feature for City it would come just two days after his wife gave birth to a son, Asier. Argentina international Zabaleta previously announced his wife's pregnancy to the wider world with a baby-themed goal celebration during a 4-1 win at Sunderland in December.

Summary: Manchester City face Crystal Palace on Monday night at Selhurst Park . City remain nine points behind Chelsea in the Premier League . Manuel Pellegrini knows his team cannot afford to lose any more ground .


A fugitive who taunted authorities by taking selfies outside police stations while he was on the run has finally been jailed. Aaron Bee was wanted by Lincolnshire Police over an alleged domestic violence and assault. After fleeing his home, the 22-year-old goaded officers by sharing photographs online which showed him standing outside the force's headquarters. He was eventually arrested in November in a cafe after posing outside five different police stations over two weeks and was this week jailed for eight months. Aaron Bee went on the run for two weeks last year, taunting the police officers who were chasing him with selfies taken outside their headquarters. He has now been jailed for eight months . But after spending less than five months behind bars since his arrest, the 22-year-old has already been released. Last year Bee taunted officers by captioning photographs 'come catch me if you can' and bragging that he was 'always playing hide and seek'. He visited five different police stations without being apprehended and even flashing his genitals outside one. The father of one had been wanted by police for breaking a non-molestation order against his former girlfriend after showing up at her house in the middle of the night. Lincoln Crown Court heard how he had been 'threatening and abusive' towards the woman when he 'kicked her door down' last October. The father of one pictured outside Lincolnshire Police headquarters in November. He was eventually arrested in a cafe . Before his arrest Bee said he was taunting police 'as a bit of fun'. He was jailed yesterday for eight months but has been released after spending less than five months behind bars since being arrested . When police couldn't find him after the assault they released his mugshot to appeal for his whereabouts. In response, Bee took to Facebook to mock their efforts. Among pictures he shared online was one of a police officer standing in the street which he captioned 'is it me you're looking for'. He also posed outside Lincolnshire Police HQ, looking towards the camera and giving a thumbs up. In other posts he said the justice system 'is really f****d up' and bragged about buying a doughnut in Tesco without being caught. At the time, he said he was taunting police 'because it's funny.' He told reporters: 'It's really funny, I wanted to do it to show how ridiculous this all is and how they obviously aren't that bothered about me,' without disclosing his whereabouts. The 22-year-old made several jibes on Facebook, joking that he needed new hiding places after being hunted for breaking a non-molestation order against his former girlfriend . While on the run Bee mocked police officers by uploading a photograph of one with the caption 'hello is it me your (sic) looking for'. He was arrested in mid November and remanded into custody . Before his arrest Bee bemoaned being hunted by police for 'a poxy assaut'. Lincoln Crown Court heard how he grabbed his former girlfriend by the throat when he broke a non-molestation order to turn

A group of disabled Manchester City supporters say they are 'disgusted' with the club after they hiked prices of some season tickets by £345 to £975. The 283 per cent rise, which comes after it emerged City were increasing the cost of some season tickets for able-bodied fans from £870 to £1,700, has been strongly criticised by some of those affected. They claim the Premier League champions are trying to force migration to other parts of the Etihad Stadium as part of a wide-ranging re-seating plan following a 6,000-seat extension which will see capacity rise to around 55,000. Manchester City have been accused of trying to relocate disabled fans by hiking up season ticket prices . The disabled bays subject to the huge increase are in the same section of the stadium as the season tickets that have risen from £870 to £1,700 - the prime pitchside second tier. City say that area has been transformed into a premium location, and that ticket holders will receive a programme, parking and access to executive bars - an offering they did not have this season. They add that they do not wish to discriminate and have to ensure they give the same offering to all supporters. But some of the disabled fans say the improved offering is useless to them and point out that they are in wheelchairs, and so will not have the benefit of an upgraded padded seat. The reigning Premier League champions celebrate victory over West Ham in their last game . Mark Barber is the secretary of the Manchester City Disabled Supporters Association who released a statement saying they were disgusted with club. He said: 'It affects users in the Colin Bell and East Stands. They pay £345 at the moment and, depending on the level they sit on, have been told to renew it will cost £975. 'That is just for the same wheelchair bay. The club are turning the areas where the affected bays are into premium level seating. They clearly want a certain kind of client there, business men and the like, who they can make money from.' The Etihad club have increased season tickets for many fans ahead of next season . Mark, 49 and himself a wheelchair user, added that the only option for those who could not afford the giant hikes was to move behind the goal. 'There's no option to sit at the side of the pitch which a lot of people want to do,' he explained. 'They are forcing people into a certain area. 'We would like a halo of disabled bays around the ground as they have at Wembley so you can choose where to go but they won't listen to us. There's 134 of us and we are obviously not important.' City point out that they have increased the number of disabled bays to 238 and have invested in improving facilities. They are also offering new headsets for blind and partially-sighted supporters and 'super risers' which allow wheelchair users an elevated viewing position.

Summary: Premier League champions have increased season ticket prices next term . Some disabled Manchester City supporters have seen their tickets rise by £345 to £975 . Supporters group claims the club are trying to force migration as part of a re-seating plan at the Etihad .

John Carver says he would walk away from Newcastle United if the club’s hierarchy had not given him assurances of serious summer investment. Supporters are threatening to boycott the next home match against Spurs in protest at Mike Ashley’s running of the club and a perceived lack of ambition. Newcastle have lost the last five Tyne-Wear derbies and, in the wake of Sunday’ s 1-0 defeat at Sunderland, the owner, head coach and players have come in for strong criticism. John Carver would walk away from Newcastle if the club’s hierarchy had not given him reassurances . Fans are threatening to boycott the next home game in protest at Mike Ashley’s running of the club . But Carver said: ‘I can understand that their (fans) concern, but we’re already addressing it behind the scenes. ‘Mike and Lee Charnley (managing director) know what they have to do. And I’m telling you now, if I was sitting here and I thought they were giving me lip service I would say “thanks very much, I’m off - I’m walking away from this”. ‘If I didn’t have enough belief in what they were trying to do and the promises that they’ve said about the summer, then I would. But I’m not because I know what they’re saying to me is right. They’ve said that we need to bring players into this football club, first of all to boost the size of the squad, but also to improve the quality, to take us on. ‘We can’t stand still because other clubs are not standing still and they know that. We have to go with them. And if we don’t, you get left behind.' He added: ‘We’ve had different managers but the same group of players (keep getting beat in derbies). There is something in the DNA.

We have talked about addressing that in the summer.’ Carver concedes that his side – on the back of four straight defeats – still need more than the 35 points they currently sit on to be assured of safety. They travel to Liverpool on Monday before entertaining Spurs a week on Sunday. And Carver has urged fans to get behind the team. ‘Supporters go to work, pay their money and they’re entitled to do whatever they want to,’ he said in response to news of a proposed boycott. ‘But we’re at the business end of the season now and I’m pleading, “get behind the team, give us your support, because it makes a difference”. ‘Especially the situation we’re in at the moment, we need as much help and support as we can get.’ Jermain Defoe (centre) connects beautifully with a left-footed volley to score the winner for

Islam will become America's second-largest religion by 2050 according to a report outlining the world's religious landscape 35 years from now. The number of Christians in the US will decline from three quarters of the population in 2010 to just two thirds in 2050, researchers claim. Statistics revealed by the Pew Research Center show the percentage of atheists across the globe is expected to fall across the same time frame while Muslims will outnumber Christians by 2070. Click on the graphic below for a breakdown on each country . Research shows that although Islam will be the fastest growing religion in the world over the next four decades, Christians will remain the largest group in 2050. At the same time, those who do not affiliate with any religion, including atheists and agnostics, will make up a 'declining share of the world's population' - even if their numbers are increasing in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and France. The map created by Razzmazz above shows the status of the world's faiths in 35 years' time, and how the percentage of those that consider themselves 'religiously unaffiliated' is expected to increase in the West. By 2050 in Europe, Muslims will make up one in ten of the overall population. The region's Christian population will shrink from 553million to 454million, according to projections. Islam will be the fastest growing religion in the world over the next four decades but Christians will remain the largest group in 2050, the report reveals. Pope Francis is pictured in Tirana, Albania last year . Changing landscape: This graphic, taken from the map above, shows how the percentage of those that consider themselves religiously unaffiliated is expected to increase in the West 35 years from now . The global Buddhist population will remain roughly the same but Hindu and Jewish populations will be larger than they are today, according to the report. It reveals that five years ago, there were 2.2billion Christians in the world making it 'by far' the world's largest religion with Islam second with 1.6billion out of a global population of 6.9billion. By 2050, there will be 2.8billion Muslims and 2.9billion Christians, it is estimated. According to the Daily Telegraph, the report suggests the increase in Muslim populations could be put down to the fact those following the faith are younger while infant mortality rates are decreasing. Meanwhile, a number of countries are expected to have changing religious majorities in four decades. Christians are projected to fall below 50 per cent the population in the United Kingdom, Australia, Benin, Bosnia-Herzegovina, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the Republic of Macedonia.

A respected Philadelphia law professor who made national headlines after accidentally emailing her students a porn link has spoken out about how she's reclaiming her dignity since the public scandal. Lisa McElroy, 50, reportedly sent the explicit link to her Drexel University students under the subject line 'Great article on writing briefs' on March 31. McElroy said she was 'mortified' and 'in terrible shape' when she found out what she had done, she wrote in a column for the Washington Post. Respected Drexel University law professor Lisa McElroy, 50, who made national headlines last month after accidentally emailing her students a porn link, has spoken out about reclaiming her dignity since the scandal . The legal writing professor, who earned a doctorate from Harvard Law School, writes that she was sure she had lost her 'dignity forever' when news of the scandal first broke. 'Everyone was talking about me,' she said. 'Everyone was speculating about whether I watched porn, or used sex toys, or liked kinky sex. Some people were calling for my job and law license.' The professor said she would not divulge in her column how the mistake happened. 'If you're hoping to find out here how that happened, among the many possibilities that have been raised by gleeful commentators, I’m sorry to tell you you’re going to be disappointed.' But McElroy did explain her concern that, with a profession where she teaches 'students to project a dignified image' and 'possess integrity', people would no longer believe the teacher could follow her own lessons. Drexel conducted an internal investigation after the incident and found that McElroy, a tenured professor, had not violated the the university's sexual harassment and misconduct policy. The university said in a statement that federal law requires it investigate all reports of 'inappropriate behaviors of a sexual nature'. The professor defends Drexel's decision to investigate the matter. She wrote that critics of the university were 'dismissing the dignity of the law' and 'giving no consideration to an atmosphere in which the law exists to protect people and an investigation may be necessary'. But McElroy said she wondered why no one thought to question the 'dignity of those who forwarded the unintended post'. 'No one asked why, if they found it so offensive, students opened the link, with its unmistakable Web address, and watched the video long enough to know what it contained,' she said. In fact, McElroy writes, there wasn't anything newsworthy about the mistake she calls 'pretty trivial' at all. 'My students are adults. The link was quickly removed. There was nothing illegal in the video...Yet, because it was porn and I'm a law professor, news organizations spread the story around the world.' McElroy said she was 'mortified' and 'in terrible shape' when she found out she sent her students an explicit link under the subject line 'Great article on writing briefs' on March 31 . McElroy also questions both the dignity of the 'tabloid journalists', who called her cellphone number and waited outside her office to interview students, and the 'intended audience' they knew would

Summary: Lisa McElroy, 50, who teaches legal writing at Drexel University, accidentally sent the explicit message on March 31 . McElroy said she was 'in terrible shape' when she first realized what she had done and saw her name make headlines . Yet the professor said she found the matter 'pretty trivial' and questioned the dignity of those who forwarded the 'unintended post' McElroy, who has tenure, was investigated by the university and has been cleared to continue teaching .


Acetaminophen is the main ingredient in the over-the-counter pain reliever Tylenol . Painkillers not only dull physical pain, but they can also dull your emotions. This is according to a new study that claims acetaminophen (paracetamol) - the main ingredient in the over-the-counter pain reliever Tylenol and paracetamol - has the ability to weaken feelings of happiness and sadness. Acetaminophen has been in use for more than 70 years, but this is the first time that this side effect has been discovered. Previous research had shown that acetaminophen works not only on physical pain, but also on psychological pain. This study takes those results one step further by showing that it also reduces how much users actually feel positive emotions, said Geoffrey Durso, lead author at the Ohio State University. 'This means that using Tylenol or similar products might have broader consequences than previously thought,' Durso said. 'Rather than just being a pain reliever, acetaminophen can be seen as an all-purpose emotion reliever.' Baldwin Way, an assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University said people in the study who took the pain reliever didn't appear to know they were reacting differently. 'Most people probably aren't aware of how their emotions may be impacted when they take acetaminophen,' he said. There were two studies of college students. The first involved 82 participants, half of whom took an acute dose of 1000 milligrams of acetaminophen and half who took an identical-looking placebo. They then waited 60 minutes for the drug to take effect. Participants then viewed 40 photographs selected from a database used by researchers around the world to elicit emotional responses. The photographs ranged from the extremely unpleasant, to the neutral and the very pleasant. After viewing each photo, participants were asked to rate how positive or negative the photo was on a scale of -5 (extremely negative) to +5 (extremely positive). Results showed that participants who took acetaminophen rated all the photographs less extremely than did those who took the placebo. The researchers don't know if other pain relievers such as ibuprofen and aspirin have the same effect, although they plan on finding out in future research . They then viewed the same photos again and were asked to rate how much the photo made them feel an emotional reaction. Researchers are not exactly sure how Ty . The researchers don't know if other pain relievers such as ibuprofen and aspirin have the same effect, although they plan on studying that question. Acetaminophen, unlike many other pain relievers, is not a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID. That means it not thought to control inflammation in the body. Whether that fact has any relevance to possible emotional effects of the drugs is still an open question, the researchers added. In this study, acetaminophen may have tapped into the sensitivity that makes some people react differently to both positive and negative life events. 'There is accumulating evidence that some people are more sensitive to big life events of all kinds, rather than just vulnerable to bad events,' Durso said. Results showed that participants

Summary: It looked at acetaminophen (paracetamol), the main ingredient in Tylenol . Eighty one people were asked to look at happy, sad and neutral images . Those who took the drug had less extreme emotions towards the photos . People who took pain reliever didn't know they were reacting differently .

Sacked: Peter Gale was dismissed by Nonsuch High School For Girls in Surrey two weeks ago . The male headmaster of a leading all-girls’ grammar school has been sacked after sending a series of private emails to a teenage pupil, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Peter Gale, 47, was dismissed by Nonsuch High School For Girls in Surrey for ‘unprofessional and inappropriate conduct’ two weeks ago. At the time of the announcement, the school’s governors failed to release any more details. However, an investigation by this newspaper has discovered that Mr Gale – who became the academy’s first male head when he was appointed to the post 18 months ago – sent informal emails over a period of months to the sixth-form pupil, including messages written at night and during the holidays. School rules strictly forbid teachers sending messages to pupils from private email accounts. The Cheam academy has described Mr Gale’s actions a ‘serious breach of safeguarding procedures’. Despite this, the National Union of Teachers appeared to play down the seriousness of his conduct. In a statement to The Mail on Sunday, the union implied Mr Gale’s actions only amounted to a breach of the school’s information and communications technology rules. The governors – who began their investigation following a tip-off – are said to have been ‘stunned’ by the NUT statement. The specialist science college and languages school, which counts singer Katie Melua and Olympic gold medallist Joanna Rowsell among its alumni, passed judgment on Mr Gale at an internal disciplinary hearing earlier this month, ruling he had broken rules in place to prevent personal communications between staff and pupils. It is understood this was in breach of guidance telling teachers never to use a private email account to send messages to pupils, partly for their own protection. The school has refused to reveal the precise content of the emails, but it is understood they were informal and read like text messages. It is believed there were also concerns about the way Mr Gale, the former deputy headmaster of all-girl Rosebery School in nearby Epsom, had treated the student differently from other pupils. Mr Gale, who is understood to be unmarried and who lives in Godalming, Surrey, declined to comment directly to The Mail on Sunday. Messages: An investigation by the Mail on Sunday has revealed it was a series of 'informal' emails to a sixth form pupil which led to his dismissal from the specialist science college (pictured) Alumni: Former pupils include Kate Melua (pictured) and Olympic gold medallist Joanna Rowsell . But a statement sent to this newspaper, released by the NUT’s London Regional Secretary Bob Stapley, said: ‘The alleged misconduct related to communication with a student which breached the school’s policy on the accepted use of ICT [information and communications technology]. ‘Mr Gale accepted he had breached the school’s policy and that as headmaster he had responsibility for ensuring he and other staff acted in accordance with the policy. Defence: The NUT have said: 'Mr Gale vehemently denies he behaved inappropriately towards any student and no

Summary: Peter Gale dismissed from Nonsuch High School For Girls a fortnight ago . The reason was given as ‘unprofessional and inappropriate conduct’ Mail on Sunday investigation discovers it was due to emails sent to pupil . But Mr Gale denies he behaved inappropriately towards any student .

'I am reappealing to Peter to come forward so that we can speak to him following the murders of his mother and sister. We know that Peter travelled by train to London on Wednesday night and we are working with the Metropolitan Police to try and find him. Although we know he travelled to London that night he may well have gone on to travel outside of the London area. 'I would stress to the public that if they do see Peter Fox, they should not approach him. We would urge anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the police on 999.
