They are one of the most feared animals on the planet. Now fascinating images reveal how fish make a collective effort to stay out of the way of sharks. The striking photographs show a shoal of fish making way for the blacktip shark swimming in the shallow waters of Heron Island in Queensland, Australia. Incredible images show a shoal of fish making way for a blacktip shark (pictured), perhaps proving that they are instinctively frightened of it . It is thought that the reef shark was not interested in catching a meal, but the fish naturally keep their distance, creating circles of clear water around the predator. Dr Ken Collins, Senior Research Fellow and Diving Officer at the University of Southampton, told MailOnline: 'This is fairly typical behaviour for shoaling fish, the same would happen if it were a diver in the photograph rather than a shark. 'Something big is automatically accepted as a potential threat and swimming in a swirling dense shoal is a defensive move which provides mutual protection simply reducing the chances of an individual being picked off and confusing the potential “enemy". 'Flocks of small birds will react the same way to hawks.' Fish are thought to gain many benefits from shoaling behaviour, such as keeping safe from predators as well as boosting their chances of feeding and finding a mate. It’s known that shoals of fish can change shapes and directions in seconds - as if they are thinking as one - and in these images, the fish manage to keep a pocket of clear water between themselves and the shark, even the pocket does change shape. Software engineer Scott Carr was looking for a picturesque spot to have photos taken before his wedding when he came across the shoal of fish trying to avoid the shark. The photos show a shark swimming in the shallow waters, where they are guaranteed a clear path because ‘terrified’ fish move out of their way . Software engineer Scott Carr was looking for a picturesque spot to have photos taken before his wedding when he came across fish trying to avoid the shark off Heron Island in Queensland, Australia (marked) It’s thought that shoals may be an effective means for the majority of fish within them to escape predators’ jaws, because they confuse larger creatures. The ‘predator confusion effect’ is based on the idea that it becomes difficult for predators to pick out individual prey from groups because similar-looking fish create a sensory overload for predators. Fin movements made by a shoal seem to overlap to mimic waves created by a larger animal, perhaps to dissuade a predator from attacking. The fact that there are many fish in a shoal means they have many eyes to scan an area for predators and keep out of the way. The look-out is shared between individuals to let the group feed safely and swim away from predators as a group. Luckily, the 32-year-old was carrying his camera to snap the scene. ‘There were four blacktip reef sharks circling the area and there was

Disgraced former CIA Director David Petraeus will not go to jail for giving his mistress classified material while she was working on a book about him, a judge ruled today. The former U.S. Army General, whose career was destroyed when the affair with Paula Broadwell emerged in November 2012, avoided jail time at the hearing in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday and was instead sentenced to two years probation. He was also fined $100,000 - more than double the $40,000 his attorneys had requested. While Petraeus had agreed two months ago to plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material, he formally entered his plea during Thursday's hearing. Petraeus was wearing his wedding ring but there was no sign of his wife, Holly. He told the court he wanted to apologize to those closest to him 'for the pain my actions caused'. Apologies: Former CIA director David Petraeus apologized for his 'mistakes' as he spoke outside the North Carolina courthouse where he was sentenced to two years probation on Thursday afternoon . Sentenced: As well as the probation, he was fined $100,000 for leaking classified information to his mistress . Following the hearing, he briefly addressed the media outside the courthouse. 'As I did in the past, I apologize for those closest to me and many others,' he said, before thanking his supporters including his family, colleagues and fellow veterans. 'I now look forward to moving on with the next phase of my life and with continuing to serve our great nation as a private citizen,' he added. Critics have noted that in other cases concerning government leaks, defendants have received far harsher punishments than Petraeus. CIA analyst John Kiriakou who is serving 30 months behind bars for revealing the secret CIA torture program. Ben Wizner, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who represents Edward Snowden, told Reuters that he was not against lighter sentences - as long as such treatment is handed out equally. 'The problem is not that David Petraeus is getting lenient treatment,' Wizner said. 'The problem is that lenient treatment is only available to people in high places.' Petraeus was also given special conditions for his probation. He is allowed to travel internationally with his probation officer's approval, for example, and is allowed to possess firearms. He is allowed to pay the $100,000 fine $25,000 per month until it is paid in full. Going solo: Petraeus, who was seen wearing his wedding ring to court, was not accompanied by his wife Holly to the sentencing hearing. It emerged in 2012 that he had been having an affair with his biographer . Petraeus has 14 days to file an appeal if he wants to dispute the sentencing. In the previous agreement, prosecutors said that while Broadwell was writing her book in 2011, Petraeus gave her eight binders of classified material he had improperly kept from his time as the top military commander in Afghanistan. Days later, he took the binders back to his house. Among the secret information contained in the 'black books'

Summary: The former U.S. Army General appeared in court in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday for his sentencing hearing . He admitted to giving his biographer mistress classified material he had improperly kept from the military - which carried up to a year in prison . But he was instead sentenced to two years probation and a $100,000 fine . Speaking after, Petraeus apologized for his 'mistakes' but thanked his supporters and said he was looking forward to moving on with his life . He had an affair with Paula Broadwell between late 2011 and summer 2012, and stepped down from the CIA after the relationship emerged .

Professor Ninian Peckitt is accused of repeatedly punching a patient in the face to correct a fracture . A pioneering facial surgeon ‘repeatedly’ punched a patient in the head in an ‘extraordinary’ attempt to correct a fracture caused by an industrial accident, a medical tribunal has heard. Professor Ninian Peckitt, 63, claimed he had simply ‘digitally manipulated’ the patient’s face as part of hospital treatment, but witnesses said that in reality he had actually been hitting him, the tribunal was told. The world-renowned surgeon, who has lectured on the use of titanium implants to treat disfigured patients and has been published in academic texts, faces being struck off the medical register after being accused of failing three of his patients. A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing in Manchester was told a man referred to as Patient A had suffered ‘extensive injuries’ to the right side of his face in an industrial accident. He was admitted to Ipswich Hospital in February 2012 where Professor Peckitt was working as an honorary locum consultant in oral and maxillo-facial surgery since the previous month. Christopher Hamlet, representing the General Medical Council, told the hearing: ‘The case is not centred around the outcome, but the method of the surgery by way of the extraordinary allegation that he repeatedly punched the patient in the face.’ He added that Patient A had fallen out of bed which had further displaced his facial fractures. The hearing was told Professor Peckitt embarked on a ‘closed reduction’ procedure, in which a patient is given anaesthetic before the fractured bone is manually put back together without surgery, and a cast or splint applied. Mr Peckitt was working as an honorary locum at Ipswich Hospital in Suffolk at the time of the alleged incident in February 2012. A medical tribunal will decide whether he should be struck off the register . Professor Peckitt, formerly of Doncaster, later described the procedure as one in which the patient’s face had been ‘digitally manipulated as best they could be achieved’, the hearing heard. It was also alleged he treated Patient A without seeking advice from colleagues. He quit his post at the hospital days later. He was also alleged to have failed to check the medical records of a second patient, Patient B, which led to him attempting an unnecessary procedure on her, and to have treated another, Patient C, for a complex facial deformity without seeking the advice of another surgeon. Professor Peckitt, who is now working in Dubai, has submitted emails in which he ‘emphatically denies’ the allegations, and claims he has been ‘victimised’. ‘In relation to Patient A, he says they simply didn’t see any punching,’ Mr Hamlet said. Dr Timothy Mellor, an expert called for the GMC, prepared a report. ‘He confirmed it is entirely inappropriate to try to reduce a fracture with external force alone or whether the punch was additional manipulation – there is no basis you can reduce a fracture in that nature,’ Mr Hamlet said. The hearing continues.

After a heavy night of drinking, your immune system is bound to be weaker. This is because your body is under oxidative stress - a process that can also happen after smoking, breathing in pollution and even sunbathing. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown that higher doses of vitamin E, found in foods such as kale and almonds, can mitigate the stress on immune cells. After a heavy night of drinking, your immune system is bound to be weaker. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown that higher doses of vitamin E found in foods such as kale (left) and almonds, can mitigate the stress on immune cells . Whenever a virus or other pathogen enters our bodies, a certain class of immune cells - the T cells0 jump into action, spreading rapidly. One sub-class of these cells, the CD8+ T cells, eliminate the virus by killing cells it has infected. Other T cells, known as CD4+ T cells, coordinate the immune response to all kinds of pathogens. But a week can pass before these T cells start to take their toll on a virus. And with cells dividing every eight to twelve hours, it takes a few days to gather a strike force of cells in the hundreds of thousands: enough to overwhelm the infection. But this immune response does not work if significant oxidative stress is damaging the T cells and depriving the body of the tools it needs to repair them, according to a new study. A white blood cell, also known as a T cell, carries special structures on its surface with which to recognise specific pathogens . If the immune cells lack repair enzyme Gpx4, the T cells die off as they divide, which means the immune system becomes weak and the infection can be chronic. This is the enzyme responsible for repairing oxidative damage to the cell membrane. Your body constantly reacts with oxygen as you breathe and your cells produce energy. As a consequence of this activity, highly reactive molecules are produced known as free radicals. Free radicals interact with other molecules within cells. This can cause oxidative damage to proteins, membranes and genes. Oxidative damage has been implicated in the cause of many diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's and has an impact on the body's aging process. External factors, such as pollution, sunlight and smoking, also trigger the production of free radicals. Source: NetDoctor . When testing mice whose immune cells lacked the repair enzyme, researchers led by Manfred Kopf, a professor at ETH Zurich, were able to save the immune cells by mixing a high dose of vitamin E into the animals' food. That was enough antioxidant to protect the T cells' cell membranes from damage, so they could multiply and successfully fend off the viral infection. At 500 milligrams per kilogram of mouse feed, this quantity of vitamin E was ten times higher than was present in their normal food. 'The benefit of vitamin tablets is a controversial topic,' says Kopf. With little scientific evidence as yet making

Summary: Drinking makes body go under oxidative stress and weakens immunity . Study has shown that higher doses of vitamin E can mitigate this stress . Vitamin E can be found in high doses in foods such as kale and almonds .


Sometimes strong-willed children can prove a challenge to parents, especially when it comes to doing what they're told. And that's certainly the case in one household, as a new video shows. Little Catalina from America was filmed emptying out the contents of the kitchen cabinets at home. But when her father tells her to clean up her mess, she vehemently refuses with a heated - and rather cute - argument ensuing. Standing in a frilly skirt with her arms crossed, Catalina answers back at her father in a bid to get him to do the cleaning. 'I already cleaned the kitchen, no it's your turn, I'm not picking up your mess,' her elder firmly responds. As the argument goes on, the volume gets higher and higher. At one point Catalina hits her father's leg in frustration. Caught red-handed: Little Catalina from America was filmed emptying out the contents of the kitchen cupboards at home . Pointing the finger: But when her father tells her to clean up her mess, she vehemently refuses with a heated - and rather cute - argument ensuing . The two then point back and forth at each other as the debate continues. Showing her cheeky side, Catalina proceeds to pick up a couple of pans and march forwards with them before dumping them down and standing again with her arms crossed. 'No I'm not doing it... you put them away,' her father says, quickly latching on to her antics. At the end of the video Catalina's father walks off, leaving her alone to figure out what to do with the kitchen implements. A woman filming the scene can be heard letting out a soft giggle after watching the boisterous toddler in action.

Children should not be encouraged to play rugby at school because it is so dangerous, researchers have warned. They say as many as 1 in 8 will suffer injuries serious enough that they will need to miss at least seven training sessions or matches. These range from bruises and sprains to fractures, torn ligaments and at worst, concussion and damage to the brain and spinal cord. Scroll down for video . As many as 1 in 8 will suffer injuries serious enough that they will need to miss at least seven training sessions or matches. The Government wants rugby to be played more at school as part of plans to increase competitive sports, to curb rising levels of obesity. But Professor Allyson Pollock, an expert in Public Health at Queen Mary, University of London said these plans were ‘extremely worrying.’ The academic – whose son shattered his cheekbone playing rugby at school – said not enough was being done to monitor the number of injuries. Writing in the BMJ, she said the Government had a ‘duty to protect children from the risks of injury’ as part of a law enshrined by the United Nations. ‘Given that children are more susceptible to injuries such as concussion and often take longer to recover fully, the Government’s plan to increase funding of and participation in rugby in schools in the absence of a comprehensive system for injury surveillance and prevention is worrying.’ She added. ‘Only by collecting injury data and by providing feedback to individuals and organisations working on safety initiatives will the short and long term effects of injury prevention programmes, whether for rugby or any other sport, be known. ‘Many countries, including the UK, have inadequate child injury surveillance systems. Under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child governments have a duty to protect children from risks of injury. Professor Allyson Pollock wants to see rugby made safer for children, with an end to scrums and tackles — where nearly all the injuries occur . ‘The UK government should ensure the safety and effectiveness of sports and that injury surveillance and prevention strategies are established before proceeding with its plans to target funding and increase participation in a high risk collision sport such as rugby.’ In New Zealand, the current holders of the Rugby World Cup, sports authorities monitor the number of rugby injuries compares to the population making it possible to work out how risky it is compared to other sports. She also pointed out that other countries such as New Zealand monitor the number of rugby injuries compares to the population. This makes it possible to work out how risky it is compared to other sports. Currently, rugby is mainly played at independent schools rather than state schools where the dominant sport for boys is football. But in 2012 the Government pledged to increase both girls’ and boys’ participation in rugby at school as part of a drive to boost competitive sports. Professor Pollock’s son Hugo suffered a shattered cheekbone playing rugby at school 11 years ago, when

A Hawaiian fisherman is missing again, just a few months after surviving 12 days lost at sea. Ron Ingraham, 67, spent almost two weeks adrift and surviving on raw fish after getting caught in an enormous storm on Thanksgiving. He eventually managed to radio for help and was rescued - but as of Friday Ingraham is missing again, in potentially even more danger than before. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, his ship ran aground on rocks around a mile west of Hawaii's Lanai island. Rescue the first: Ron Ingraham is pictured above in December being welcomed aboard a Navy destroyer after 12 days stranded at sea. He is missing again . Recovery: Pictured above is the sailing boat Ingraham had got lost in, which was towed back to shore by his rescuers . His sailing mate, Kenny Corder, was thrown into the water with him, and the two were clinging to a life ring to survive. Corder, who was rescued and taken to hospital, said that he left Ingraham with the ring to swim backed to the damaged ship and radio for help. By the time he returned, he said, there was no sign of Ingraham - and Coast Guard officials are still looking for him. The Coast Guard notified Ingraham's son in Missouri, Zakary Ingraham, said the son's wife, Katie Jarrett. 'This is absolutely insane,' she said. Long-lost: Pictured above in Ingraham's son, Zakary. The two hadn't spoken in more than 15 years when he went missing the first time . Ingraham and his son had not spoken for years, but news of his improbably rescue in December brought the two back together. He was considered lost after a search triggered by a Mayday message saying he was about to sink did not help authorities track him down. During a routine trip from Molokai island, where he lives, to Lanai, where he often fishes, a huge storm knocked out his engine and pummeled his boat with 20-foot waves. 'I lived off the moisture off the fish I caught,' Ingraham said. 'Mentally, physically and spiritually, I got my butt kicked.' Eventually he got weak and assumed he would die - and friends had already planned his funeral. Man and the sea: This file photo shows Ingraham at sea years ago. His boat ran aground on rocks Friday - his second major difficulty in less than six months . The Coast Guard launched a massive search and he was thought to be dead, until he was able to use a wire hanger to get a signal sent from his battered radio. That led to his rescue by crew members on the guided-missile destroyer USS Paul Hamilton. Meanwhile, another man was also missing from a separate boat around Hawaii after he reported Thursday his vessel was flooding about 10 miles south of Honolulu Harbor. The Coast Guard searched overnight for the mariner who was aboard the vessel Kolea and then suspended the search on Friday afternoon.

Acro currently makes thousands of economy class seats for airlines such as KLM, Thomas Cook and Spirit . ‘Padding is not a proxy for comfort, padding is a lazy way of delivering the right shape. What you really want to do is deliver a shape that is ergonomically proper – so the hips aren’t shifted forward and the back is a little bit reclined.’ He added: ‘If you have a big, fat six-inch seat that is lazily padded you are taking five inches of legroom. In our case our seat is less than half an inch thick at its thickest.’ Mr Brady said the seats – with an aluminium chassis, composite materials and hand-stitched leather armrests – must pass an onerous certification process, meaning they won’t actually fly until 2017.

After sharing some of the notes on Twitter, Schwartz said she started getting responses from teachers across the nation who tried out the lesson. 'It's hard to stay asleep at night': Rebecca Shoniker, a middle school teacher in North Carolina, shared these responses from her class on Twitter .

'Toxic': Celebrity Big Brother contestant Katie Hopkins said migrant vessels 'need pushing back' Katie Hopkins was today branded 'toxic' after saying boats in North Africa should be 'burned' to cut immigration - just hours after up to 900 migrants drowned in the Mediterranean Sea. The 40-year-old former Celebrity Big Brother contestant said the vessels ‘need pushing back’ and asked listeners to a radio show: ‘Why do we take on everyone else's problem?’ Miss Hopkins said on LBC yesterday: 'I, for one, believe we should turn back the boats. Personally I would use gunships, I would tow them back to where they came from, and I would make a huge bonfire of all the boats they have - in order that we put a stop to this ridiculous situation that we find ourselves in.' Her comments were labelled 'dangerous', while she was described as a 'manifestation of the culture of toxic hate that is prevalent in the UK'. More than 900 people are feared dead after the fishing boat overturned in the Mediterranean at midnight yesterday in one of the worst maritime disasters since the Second World War ended. And the former Apprentice contestant insisted a 'huge bonfire' should be made from boats in North Africa so they cannot be used again. She added: ‘If you allow these boats to come that number will grow year on year. When we see these migrants arriving in Italy, they aren't just staying in Italy. ‘The Italians are more or less okay with these numbers coming, because as soon as they are in Italy they disperse through Europe and then we see them arriving in vast swathes in Calais. The mother-of-three, who was hosting her first radio talk show on the station at 10am, continued: ‘I do believe these boats need pushing back. We pay an enormous amount towards foreign aid as it is, and I don't think we need to be helping with a rescue programme in the Med as well.’ Today, an Italian coast guard ship brought the bodies of 24 victims to Malta for burial before heading to Sicily with just 28 survivors plucked from the sea after the disaster off Libya. Help: This image from Guardia di Finanza shows an infra-red camera screen shot during an operation to rescue migrants after their shipwreck in Strait of Sicily yesterday. Hundreds were feared drowned today . Coming to the rescue: German shipping company Opielok Offshore Carriers released this picture today showing a boat with refugees close to its cargo ship in the Mediterranean Sea on April 12 . Following the tragedy, politicians and charities attacked EU states for supporting Italy's decision to stop search and rescue missions last year which they blame for such a high number of deaths. But Miss Hopkins - speaking about 90 minutes after news of the disaster first emerged yesterday - said: ‘Why do we take on everyone else's problem? 'I think at the moment we don't really address immigration as a country. Our politicians are frightened to go near the issue. ‘I'm actually not that frightened at all,

Thierry Henry has criticised Arsenal's recent dealings in the transfer window and has urged his former side to purchase four top players in the summer. The Frenchman believes Arsenal need a goalkeeper, centre back, defensive midfielder and striker if they are to have any chance of winning the Barclays Premier League title. Henry, who was speaking after Arsenal's goalless draw with Chelsea, also hit out at Olivier Giroud by claiming the Gunners will struggle to win the league if his fellow countryman is to remain as the club's first choice striker. Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry questioned whether Arsenal can win the title with Olivier Giroud in attack . Henry (centre) said after Arsenal's goalless draw with Chelsea that Giroud (right) may need replacing . Hull (away) - May 4 . Swansea (home) - May 11 . Man United (away) - May 17 . Sunderland (home) May 20 . West Brom (home) - May 24 . Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, Henry said: 'I think they need to buy four players - they need that spine. They need a goalkeeper, they still need a centre back, they still need a holding midfielder and, I'm afraid, they need a top, top quality striker to win this league again. 'You had the best example with Chelsea here today. They were struggling last season to win the league. They went on to buy [Thibaut] Cortouis, [Nemanja] Matic, Cesc [Fabregas] and [Diego] Costa. 'For me, that speaks volumes and you saw it today - a team didn't and a team did, and they are about to win the league again. Arsenal are third in the Premier League, level on points with Manchester City but with a game in hand . 'He [Arsene Wenger] has to do it. You need to have this competitive thing within the group - to win the league, that has to happen.' And he added on Giroud's inability to lead Arsenal to the title despite scoring 14 league goals so far this season: 'I think Giroud is doing extremely well. But can you win the league with him? I wouldn't think so. 'He does a job, and he does it ever so well, but you can't win the league. 'Arsenal were at the top of the league last season, but everyone was saying they are not going win the league.' Arsenal need to sign players of a similar calibre to Thibaut Courtois, Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa, according to Henry . Giroud, pictured during Arsenal's match against Chelsea, has scored 14 Premier League goals this season .

A young mother wrote a heartbreaking obituary for herself before she passed away after a years long battle with cancer. Beth O'Rourke, 44, of Paxton, Massachusetts, has spent the past 7 years fighting stage four biliary cancer, and on April 16, the mother of Courtney, 11, and Seamus, 8, lost that fight.

'I died Thursday, April 16, 2015 surrounded by family, in the arms of my husband and 'anam cara', Brendan Patrick O'Rourke,' she wrote in the obituary. Anam cara means soul mate in Gaelic. She then went on to acknowledge all those she loved so much in her life, and then express just how happy she was, even though she was gone. 'I LOVED my life. I loved a long run, to sit quietly by the lake, to read and dance and sing and be silly with our children,' she wrote. 'We loved watching summer storms blow across the water. I loved to chat and laugh with my sisters and friends, until tears ran down our legs!' In the end though, she focused on her two children and her husband. 'Of all the things I did in this life, nothing compared to being with Brendan and our children. I fought every day to stay alive and to be with them. No person could ever ask for a more loving and supportive husband, always my champion, always,' she said. 'I enjoyed every moment we shared; the great ones, the sad ones, the easy and the hard. I pray they have learned to feel the deep sense of faith that I shared. No matter where this journey brings me next, I will forever carry their love with me, as I am sure there is a piece of me that will forever remain with them.'

I write them for the family and she did it firsthand. It's absolutely magnificent.' He then added; 'In that obituary she was teaching. She so eloquently says, "Cancer loses grace and love wins." It was so profound and so true . Brendan also thought his wife's message was magnificent. 'It's pretty amazing to think that someone could write that before passing away. It's pretty amazing,' he said.

Juan Mata described Manchester United's 4-2 derby victory as a 'massive win' as they opened up a four-point gap on Manchester City. United had lost their last four meetings with City but goals from Ashley Young, Marouane Fellaini, Mata and Chris Smalling gave the Red Devils their biggest derby win for six years. Sergio Aguero opened the scoring and also netted late on for his 100th City goal but United were by far the better team to tighten their grip on third spot in the Barclays Premier League. Old Trafford roars with Marouane Fellaini after the influential Belgian gave the Red Devils the lead . Wayne Rooney leaps onto Fellaini's back after United take the lead at Old Trafford in the Manchester derby . 'The first 10 or 15 minutes they were brilliant and played well but after that the team showed character and we came back,' Mata told Sky Sports 1. 'It's a massive win for us, it's a great result and everyone at United is happy. 'The atmosphere was crazy, it is something we will never forget. Juan Mata, released by Rooney, scores as Manchester United smash their rivals at Old Trafford . 'You could tell how important it was for the fans but we still have six games to go and we have to keep going. 'It's a big win and a boost of confidence but Arsenal are doing great and I'm sure City and Liverpool will fight to the end, so we have to fight to the last minute.' Young equalised Aguero's early strike and then set up Fellaini to give United a first-half lead. All of United's outfield players congratulate Chris Smalling after his close-range header ensured victory . 'We were disappointed to go a goal behind but we showed that team spirit to get back in the game and no other team was going to win it when we went ahead,' Young told Sky Sports 1. 'It was an amazing feeling to score. I was delighted to put the ball in the net and get an assist as well but the important thing was we showed that character to win the game. 'It was a magnificent win. We knew it was going to be a tough game but we knew we had to get the three points.' Ashley Young latches on to a loose ball which bounced off Gael Clichy and fires past the despairing Joe Hart .

Summary: Juan Mata scored as Manchester United thumped Manchester City . Victory sends Louis van Gaal's side four points clear of their rivals in third . Manchester United are now just one point adrift of second placed Arsenal . Mata has challenged his teammates to keep on fighting right to the end .


With every new milestone, many may find themselves nostalgically looking back upon their life and career choices. As expected, not everyone will feel satisfied with the decisions they've made that they have made the right decisions. But this affects women more so than men, a new survey has revealed. A new survey has revealed that women regret their career choices more than men. With 47% compared to only 40% of men . According to specialist travel agency Planet Cruise, women regret their career choices more so than men. Just under half (47 per cent) of women aged over 55 expressed disappointment over their decisions, compared to just 40 per cent of men. More alarming is the fact that nearly half of women (47 per cent) surveyed admitted that they have suffered from a mental illness or negative feelings towards their roles. For men, the figure was even higher, with 52 per cent having suffered from mental issues. Furthermore, one in five over-55s surveyed admitted to feelings of depression due to a missed opportunity at work. Similar ranking figures showed that people had also dealt with isolation, or unsociable and distant feelings as a result. The survey, from specialist travel agency, Planet Cruise, was conducted on people age over 55 and exposed widespread career disappointments among both men and women . More than a quarter surveyed also revealed that they wished that they had thrown caution to the wind and taken more risks in their careers. Specifically, one in ten admitted that they regretted not being more tenacious with pursuing promotions and being more ambitious in general. Women were also more likely to feel like their relationships had held them back in their careers. And 17 per cent of women felt some sort of resentment towards their partners - indicating that they held them responsible for a career regret or missed opportunity. 10% of women surveyed admitted that they regretted not having more children, compared with only 6% men . But only ten per cent of men admitted to feeling the same way. These regrets didn't only stem from people's careers, but sadly extended to personal choices too. More men than women (22 per cent compared to just 11 per cent) wished they hadn't worked so much, and had spent more time with their children. Just ten per cent of females regretted not having more children - indicating that career pressures had limited the amount of time they had available - compared to only six per cent of men. More men than women (15% compared to 10%) regretted not dating more before they settled down. More men regretted not dating more before they settled down - with 15 per cent admitting this, compared to just 10 per cent of women. From 6 April onward, the UK's new pension reforms allow over-55s to have more freedom with their pension. The survey exposed widespread regrets within that specific age group. A spokesperson for Planet Cruise commented: 'Work can consume our entire lives. As we get older, we reflect upon opportunities in life which may have

Summary: Research conducted by Planet Cruise surveyed people aged 55 and over . Women were more likely to regret their career choices than men . Men were more likely to suffer from mental illness as a result of regrets .


The Boy Scouts' New York chapter said Thursday that it has hired the nation's first openly gay Eagle Scout as a summer camp leader, which is in public contrast to the national scouting organization's ban on openly gay adult members. The Boy Scouts' Greater New York Councils said they hired Pascal Tessier, an 18-year-old Eagle Scout who has been a vocal advocate of opening the 105-year-old organization to gay scouts and leaders. Board member Richard G. Mason said the councils see Tessier as 'an exemplary candidate for employment as a camp leader.' Scroll down for video . Boy Scout Pascal Tessier, 18, center left, and his brother Lucien Tessier, 20, who had earned the rank of Eagle Scout, pose for a portrait with their parents, Oliver Tessier, left, and Tracie Felker, at their home. On Thursday the Boy Scouts New York chapter announced it hired Pascal Tessier as the nation's first openly gay Eagle Scout as a summer camp leader . 'We welcome him,' Mason said in a statement. The Boy Scouts of America didn't immediately respond to an inquiry about the hire. The national organization changed its policy in 2013 to allow openly gay kids as scouts, but not adults as leaders, after a bitter debate over its membership policy. The change took effect in January 2014. Advocates for letting gays participate in scouting hailed Tessier's hire. 'This is a watershed moment,' Zach Wahls, executive director of Scouts for Equality, said in a statement. 'We are proud to see such an important Boy Scout council standing up for the full inclusion of gay members.' When the national Boy Scouts began allowing gay boys as scouts, liberal Scout leaders and gay rights groups celebrated the shift but called for allowing gay adults to participate, too. Conservatives involved with the Scouts, including some churches that sponsor troops, decried letting any gays — including kids — participate, and some threatened to defect if the ban were lifted. The Boy Scouts of America has said it doesn't "proactively inquire" about members' sexual orientation — in effect, a form of 'don't ask, don't tell.' Tessier's hiring is in contrast to the national scouting organizationís ban on openly gay adult members . But it has expelled adults who were open about it, including a gay troop leader in Seattle who was removed last year after he disclosed his orientation during a TV interview. Regardless, some local Boy Scout councils have let it be known they are open to gay employees, but the New York councils' move presents an unusually acute departure from the national policy. The 103-year-old New York group says it has never denied membership to a youth or adult based on sexual orientation, and it didn't want its policy to be affected by the national group's stance. The New York councils serve over 46,000 scouts. Tessier achieved scouting's highest rank last year after being one of the most prominent openly gay scouts speaking out to change the ban on gay participation. The Kensington, Maryland, teen said then he was relieved finally to have his Eagle

Finding a place where you can experience some all-important family time, outdoor fun and a helping of luxury at the same time might sound like a tall order... But if you're partial to a weekend under canvas, family-oriented festival Elderflower Fields might be one of the best tickets you can buy this year. As its founders explain, Elderflower Fields, held in the idyllic setting of Pippingford Park in the Ashdown Forest, is about giving children and families the chance to take part in a huge range of activities. Elderflower Fields Festival will be held in the idyllic setting of Pippingford Park for the second year running . The independent festival was created in 2012 by a small team of friends to provide the perfect environment for kids and grown-ups to fully escape for a weekend. Now entering its fourth year, Elderflower Fields builds upon the winning formula of a festival designed especially for families with children. It’s an exciting experience that opens children and their parents’ minds to new opportunities in sport, music, the arts, the environment and food, all set in the great outdoors. So says Nigel Greenwood, cofounder of So Sussex, the organisation responsible for creating the festival. "We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive comments and feedback received from festival goers over the last three years. Their words sum up the ethos of the festival far better than we ever could and inspire us to improve and make Elderflower Fields 2015 the best yet," he says. The Kalakuta Millionaires were a popular draw on the main stage last year . The view from the back: The Tones played in 2012 to an appreciative crowd . "What's really exciting for us is that the festival is becoming a moment of inspiration for children, their families and festival goers to try out new things." So what can festival goers expect in 2015? "Elderflower Fields prides itself on booking the best up and coming new bands and performers and providing opportunities for young people to engage in and be inspired by music," says Greenwood. The diverse range of artists already confirmed for Elderflower Fields 2015 includes Danny and the Champions Of The World, Patch and The Giant, The Kings Parade, and Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer. Spa in the woods anyone? The chance to sip champagne in a hot tub proved rather popular in 2014... thanks to Bathing Under the Sky . Children go free! The idyllic surrounds of the Ashdown Forest made for one giant playground . Other performance experiences include a storytelling area in the woods, theatre and dance classes, magic and movement workshops, plus a good old fashioned family rave from the brilliant Big Fish Little Fish party people. This year will see the festival partner with East Sussex Music Services for the first time to provide a range of introductory music opportunities for children. This includes instrument try outs, composing workshops, songwriting workshops and a BBC Ten Pieces performance developed with schools before the festival which will then see kids learning the piece during the festival itself. Richard Navarro

Summary: Family festival is located in Pippingford Park in the Ashdown Forest . Music includes a wide range of local bands and dance tents in the woods . Food is locally sourced, and there's a picnic on Sunday with a free hamper . Stressed out parents can head for the woodland spa while their little ones play sport or do art classes .


With its gabled, late-Victorian red-brick exterior and oak-panelled interior, Cournswood House could almost be Bletchley Park, the English country house at the heart of the recent Oscar-nominated drama The Imitation Game, about the cracking of Germany's wartime Enigma code. So it is appropriate that at least two of Cournswood's long-term residents have had strong Bletchley connections. The first was wartime Naval cryptographer and Enigma codebreaker Dillwyn Knox, who bought it in 1921 and lived there until his death in 1943. His funeral was attended by many from Bletchley Park, and a memorial stone to Knox can be found bordering the property. Cournswood House is in the south of Buckinghamshire – in ten acres of secluded woodlands in the picturesque village of North Dean . Bletchley connections: Codebreaker Dillwyn Knox, left, who bought it in 1921 and lived there until his death in 1943 and right, Sharon Constancon, who is related to the Leon family who once owned Bletchley Park . And the current owner, businesswoman Sharon Constancon, is related to the Leon family who once owned Bletchley Park. 'I only discovered this when I went on a visit to Bletchley Park with my uncle,' says Sharon. 'The Leon family donated the building to the Government in 1937 for use as a code-breaking centre.' While both are in Buckinghamshire, Cournswood House is in the south of the county – in ten acres of secluded woodlands in the picturesque village of North Dean – while Bletchley Park is in the town of Bletchley in the north, 20 miles away. During the Second World War at Bletchley Park, Dillwyn Knox led the team that made the first breaks into the code Germany was using, and he encouraged Alan Turing – the subject of The Imitation Game – in his work there. Although Knox does not feature in the new movie, he was portrayed by actor Richard Johnson in the 1996 television film Breaking The Code, which starred Derek Jacobi as Turing and Prunella Scales as his wife Sara. The pool is in a glasshouse, where vines thrive in the heated environment. A separate glasshouse houses the Jacuzzi and a herb garden . Cracking mysteries seems to be something Knox enjoyed in his private life too, as novelist Agatha Christie was a good friend and often visited Cournswood. 'I fell in love with Cournswood House the moment I saw it,' says Sharon, who bought it in 2003. 'It's an outstanding property with lots of potential.' Apart from the main house, there are two cottages, offices, a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, gym, and woodland with lakes, Japanese-style bridges, waterfalls and fountains. The pool is in a glasshouse, where vines thrive in the heated environment. 'The grapes are perfect for making chutney,' says Sharon. A separate glasshouse houses the Jacuzzi and a herb garden. Price: £4million . Location: North Dean, Buckinghamshire . Bedrooms: 5 . Unique features: Office suite, indoor swimming pool, two cottages, Jacuzzi, gym, grass tennis court, former home of wartime codebreaker Dillwyn Knox . There are five bedrooms, four bathrooms (two en suite) and five reception

Summary: Two of Cournswood House's owners had Bletchley Park connections . First was Naval cryptographer and Enigma codebreaker Dillwyn Knox . Sharon Constancon is related to Leon family who once owned Bletchley . Cournswood House, in south Buckinghamshire, has pool, lakes and gym .


Aaron Cruden has refused to give up hope of appearing in this year’s World Cup, but the harsh truth is that the All Blacks’ title defence has suffered an early blow with the likely loss of their No 10. The 26-year-old Waikato Chiefs fly-half received grim confirmation on Monday that he has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out for six months. Aaron Cruden is almost certain to miss the World Cup after scans revealed the need for knee surgery . Cruden hobbles off the field after damaging his knee during the round 10 Super Rugby match . Four years after New Zealand’s quest to claim the Webb Ellis Cup was so nearly derailed by an injury to Dan Carter, his successor has suffered the same fate — albeit much earlier. Cruden has started 15 Tests for the world champions in the last two years, establishing himself as first choice. ‘I haven’t completely ruled out making the World Cup,’ he said. ‘I still don’t know if it’s sunk in.’ New Zealand coach Steve Hansen added: ‘He has developed into a very good All Black and is a key member of our team. He will be a loss for the Chiefs and the All Blacks.’ England lock Joe Launchbury is hopeful of making his comeback in Wasps’ Premiership clash with Leicester on May 9. Launchbury has been sidelined since October because of a nerve problem caused by a bulging disc in his neck. Cruden will see a surgeon on Wednesday to arrange a knee reconstruction in the coming weeks . The knee surgery will rule him out of action for at least six weeks, meaning he will miss the World Cup . Leicester have announced the signing of Australia back-three player Peter Betham from Super 15 champions the Waratahs. Meanwhile, the final of the inaugural European Champions Cup is set to be played out in front of a sparse crowd at Twickenham on May 2. Ticket sales had crept just past 25,000 before the semi-finals and with two French clubs — Clermont Auvergne and Toulon — contesting the showpiece, a crowd of under 40,000 is expected at the 82,000-capacity stadium. That would be the smallest attendance for a final of the continent’s elite event since 2003, when Toulouse and Perpignan attracted just 28,600 in Dublin. Toulon are set to be without English full back Delon Armitage, who reportedly suffered a broken hand in Sunday’s win over Leinster.

Summary: Scans have revealed All Blacks flyhalf Aaron Cruden needs knee surgery . The 26-year-old injured his knee during clash with Canterbury Crusaders . Surgery is likely to rule him out of a minimum of six months of action . That means All Blacks ace Cruden will miss this summer's World Cup .


This is the moment a man slipped onto a subway track - and another instinctively leaped down to help him. Surveillance footage from Philadelphia's 15th Street Station shows one passenger lose his balance as he tries to skirt past somebody on the platform at 6.40 on Wednesday night. He falls, and bystanders jump back in shock. But almost instantaneously, a man in an Eagles jacket runs over and throws himself onto the tracks to save him. Fallen: This man was walking close to the edge of Philadelphia's 15 Street Station platform on Wednesday at 6.40pm when he tumbled. His would-be rescuer is seen walking along the platform (center), initially unaware . Shock: Bystanders rushed back in shock as the fallen man dropped from view. The rescuer is behind a pillar . Good Samaritan: But within a second, the man in an Eagles jacket ran back to the spot where the man fell . Pulling the man to his feet, the Good Samaritan pushes him up toward the platform edge, where other passengers have gathered to pull both men to safety. Within a minute, transport officials arrived to deliver first aid to the men, who are expected to survive any injuries. Thomas Nestal, police chief of Philadelhpia's transport department (SEPTA), hailed the unnamed Good Samaritan's quick response, and the help of his fellow passengers. 'This was a case where everybody almost in view jumped in and got involved,' Nestal told NBC. Nestel recommended that in future commuters should use the emergency phone to tell authorities to turn off the electricity on the line. Leaping in: He jumped off the side as other commuters ran to alert the authorities . Lifting him up: Surveillance footage shows the fallen man looking shocked and frantic . Pulled to safety: The Good Samaritan pushed the fallen man onto the platform then jumped up after him . Ordeal: The pair lay on the platform in shock for a minute after making it off the subway tracks . The platform is one of many slated to be renovated and modernized in a four-year development project starting next year. SEPTA plans to keep 15th Street Station open for Pope Francis's visit in the fall, despite acknowledging that the platforms are small and outdated. However, work is already under way to stem persistent leaks from the concrete ceilings.

Summary: CCTV shows a man fall while walking along Philadelphia platform . Bystanders jump back in shock, but one instinctively leaps after him . Good Samaritan pushes the fallen man onto the platform then jumps up .
