A judge has ordered the contents of a California home to be excluded from the estate of a comedian who committed suicide.
The judge ordered the contents of the home of Robin Williams to be excluded from the estate of his widow, Susan Schneider Williams, who died in August 2014.

The wife and adult children of late actor Robin Williams have agreed to meet outside of court to try and resolve a dispute over his belongings.

Article: "I do not want, nor will I accept the Republican nomination," he said.
Mr Ryan's name was floated as a late contender if there is a contested convention in July, as doubts persist over the strength of the candidates.
If none of Donald Trump, John Kasich and Ted Cruz can win 1,237 delegates, the convention will be contested.
The state-by-state primary contests, which come to New York next week, determine the number of delegates pledged to a particular candidate.
Mr Trump is still well ahead in the number of delegates accumulated but may fall short of the magic number required.
In 1886 former civil war general William Sherman set the gold standard for disavowing interest in serving as US president. "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected," he bluntly stated.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan may not reach Shermanesque levels of certainty with Tuesday's statement, but the move should put the latest round of rampant speculation and rumour-mongering to rest.
The Ryan presidential boomlet was largely a result of growing desperation among Republicans who see a presidential ticket headed by the epically unpopular Donald Trump as an unmitigated disaster and by absolutist Ted Cruz as only a slightly mitigated disaster.
Mr Ryan won't be their establishment-friendly "white knight", however, and there are few others out there with the stature to pull off such an unlikely convention coup.
Former candidate Mitt Romney? Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker? At this point, anyone other than Mr Cruz or Mr Trump - the two men who have slogged through the presidential season and won the votes and delegates - appears to be pure fantasy.
How does a contested convention work?

Article: William Graham and Mohammad Asghar will have to enter an open list to compete against other hopefuls.
Mr Graham, an AM since 1999, told BBC Wales: "The process is ongoing.  It's all under discussion."
Mr Asghar said he was "not disappointed", but declined to comment further.
Mr Graham is the Welsh Tories' Shadow Economy Minister and a former whip who chairs the enterprise and business committee.
Mr Asghar was elected as a Plaid Cymru AM in 2007, and defected to the Tories in 2009.
The decision was taken at a regional board meeting on Wednesday night.
Twenty of the 60 assembly members are elected on the basis of regional lists which offer a form of proportional representation, with four seats available in each of five regions.
This is a blow to William Graham and Mohammad Asghar, who now find themselves in a battle to become the top candidates on the regional list in south east Wales.
The local board clearly wants to give others the chance, and the two AMs will be in the mix with a range of other candidates at a hustings attended by the wider local membership, and not just the board.
Whatever the overall result next May, there will be major changes in personnel at the Senedd, particularly in Labour ranks with so many of its AMs not standing.
It will be interesting to see if there will be significant changes among Tory ranks as well.

Summary: Two Conservative AMs have failed to win automatic re-selection as regional candidates for south east Wales in the 2016 assembly election.

Article: California is facing a catastrophic environmental disaster. America's erstwhile Golden State is in the midst of a severe drought which shows no sign of letting up.
Even the threat of earthquakes seems to fade in comparison to the water crisis, now in its fourth year.
Nasa scientists have projected that reservoirs could run dry within a year and there is growing pressure on ground water supplies, which are dwindling rapidly.
The drought is a problem of epic proportions and it could - many say should - result in a seismic shift in attitudes towards water.
"Hopefully people will look at a green lawn and find it as annoying as second-hand cigarette smoke," says Nancy Vogel of the California Department of Water Resources.
Last week the state's governor, Jerry Brown, announced mandatory water rationing on scale that California has never experienced before. The goal is a 25% reduction in usage.
"He's been asking us to cut back going back to last winter and we haven't stepped up," says Jay Famiglietti, University of California, Irvine and senior water scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Famiglietti argues that Brown's tough love approach is necessary because so many people are apathetic towards water conservation.
"This is the next logical step and I think it sends a very strong message to all Californians about just how serious this situation is."
But the governor's plan has been criticised for not requiring similar rationing for farmers, who make up the large majority of the state's water usage.
Meanwhile, local authorities and individuals have been put on notice that beautifully manicured green lawns should go.
Homeowners will not be forced to remove them, although many cities have introduced limits on the number of days irrigation systems can be used.
And cities have been ordered to stop watering ornamental grasses in the median areas of highways.
"For the average Californian the easiest and quickest way to save water is to turn sprinklers off," Ms Vogel says.
"Just let the lawn go brown or replace it...

Summary: California Governor Jerry Brown has instituted new water restrictions as the state's reservoirs have fallen to perilously low levels - but will the rules change how Californians see water?

Article: A judge has instructed lawyers to take eight weeks to work out disagreements over money and property, including clothes, photographs and movie awards.
Widow Susan Schneider Williams wants the contents of her home to be excluded from items left to his three children.
They were married for five years until the actor's suicide in August 2014.
Schneider Williams filed court papers in December claiming some of her husband's personal items had been taken from the home they shared in Tiburon, California. without her permission.
However his daughter Zelda Williams said in a post on the blogging site Tumblr that she and brothers Zachary and Cody - Williams' children from previous marriages - had not visited the address since their father's death or removed anything from it.
Schneider Williams is seeking items including the tuxedo her husband wore to their 2011 wedding and art and furniture that were wedding gifts.
There is also a dispute over allowances to maintain the house, where she still lives.
Other items under discussion include clothing, watches, photos taken prior to Williams' marriage and memorabilia - including his 1998 Oscar for Good Will Hunting.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Andrew Cheng told lawyers for both sides to meet before 10 April and enlist the help of a mediator if necessary before returning to court on 1 June.
One of the trustees for the estate, Andrew A Bassak, told the judge that the comedian had decided to establish trusts for his heirs and had never meant for a list of possessions to be debated over in public.
Schneider Williams' attorney, James Wagstaffe, told the judge: "We're amicable and no one is raising their voices. It's just that there are 1,200 items on a long spreadsheet which we saw in final form only last week."
Outside court Wagstaffe told reporters: "Robin Williams didn't mean for the house to be gutted, furniture removed and art taken off the walls.
"This is a normal process and there's nothing unusual about this. If the estate is a lake, what Susan is seeking is a...

Summary:


Police have arrested more than 50 people as part of an investigation into suspected match-fixing in Italian football.

Article: A Care Quality Commission (CQC) report praised the trust for outperforming targets for non-urgent calls.
SCAS is the first ambulance trust in England to receive a "good" rating.
The CQC said "improvements are needed" over issues including higher-than-average call waiting times.
Chief executive of the service Will Hancock said: "This is fabulous news for our organisation as we are the first and only ambulance trust to get a good rating across ambulance trusts in England."
"Good" is the CQC's second highest of four rankings - showing a service is performing well and meeting its expectations.
The CQC report was based on inspections carried out in May. The trust provides ambulance services to Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire.
All ambulances in the UK are supposed to respond to at least 75% of Red 1 calls - when someone becomes unresponsive and has a life-threatening condition like a cardiac arrest - within eight minutes.
The same target is set for Red 2 calls - when a person has a potentially life-threatening condition such as a stroke.
SCAS responded to 73.67% of Red 1 calls within eight minutes and 71.53% of Red 2 calls in May 2016.
Deputy chief inspector Professor Edward Baker said: "Through no fault of the ambulance services, its vehicles are often facing prolonged delays at some acute hospitals' emergency departments.
"For people needing an urgent response, the consequences can be serious."
In June it was reported that ambulances were forced to queue at some hospitals in the region due to lack of space at hospital accident and emergency (A&E) departments.
The CQC reported that at times, 16 ambulances were stacked up at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, a third of the overall ambulances in the Hampshire region.

Summary: South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) has been rated "good" by the government health watchdog, despite missing response targets for critically-ill patients.

Article: More than 700 people at 17 councils are employed on the contracts, which allow authorities to hire staff but with no guarantee of work, the BBC has found.
The Labour group on Gloucester City Council, where 23% of workers are on zero-hours contracts, called it a "blight on the workforce".
The council said many zero-hours workers were employed for events.
The BBC used Freedom of Information requests sent to 18 councils in the west of England to determine how many people were employed on zero-hours contacts. One did not reply.
Gloucester City Council leader, Conservative councillor Paul James, said the authority runs many "popular events" during the year.
What are zero-hours contracts?
"With such a programme to maintain, it is inevitable that we will need more people to help run them than we need to keep on our permanent establishment," he said.
But Kate Haigh, who leads the Labour group in Gloucester, said the council should set an example to its partners who provide services to the council.
"People on zero hours often suffer from the inability to plan financially and predict income," she said.
"There are some services where work is seasonal or specialist, but nonetheless we ought to offer a minimum fixed number of hours to staff who are providing the public with services."
Wiltshire Council, which has the highest number of zero-hours workers, said many were employed in the authority's leisure centres. The contracts offer flexibility, it said.
Joanne Kaye, from Unison, said the overall number of zero-hours workers may be higher because of the increased use of contractors.
But she believed the public backlash against zero-hours work would lead to more services coming back in-house.
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) said 583,000 people reported they were on a zero-hours contract in the period October to December 2013.
This is more than double than in the same period in 2012.
The ONS said the changes were likely to have been influenced by increased awareness of zero-hours contracts following media...

Article: The move comes after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) asked it to act on the matter.
Qantas had grounded its entire fleet on Saturday, affecting almost 70,000 passengers.
The airline resumed operations on Monday after a court ordered a permanent end to the dispute.
"Qantas agrees to, and accepts, the ACCC's request that it compensate passengers for all reasonable losses incurred as a direct result of the grounding," Qantas said in a statement.
"Qantas has always intended to ensure that disrupted customers incur no financial loss."
Qantas said it had already offered refunds, rebooking and compensation for expenses incurred by travellers, and will announce further measures as an apology to affected customers.
Earlier, the ACCC said that it had asked the airline for a report on the claims it had received and the redress provided on them.
"It is squarely in the airline's camp to make good," said Rod Sims chairman of ACCC.
"If you have incurred additional expenses as a result of the grounding, the ACCC is of the view that Qantas should compensate you for all your reasonable losses," he added.

Summary: Qantas has agreed to further compensate passengers affected by its move to ground its entire fleet over a dispute with unions.

Article: Chancellor Philip Hammond has announced the fees will be banned in England.
Jenny Rathbone, AM for Cardiff Central, said she was frustrated the "English government" seemed to have "stolen a march" on Wales.
Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said the context in Wales was "completely different", and he wanted to see how a ban on fees in Scotland worked first.
Tenants can be charged fees for a range of administrative reasons, including for credit, reference and immigration checks.
In Scotland, lettings agency fees to tenants have already been banned.
Ms Rathbone said many of her constituents were private tenants "and are subject to really quite extortionate letting agency fees".
The backbench AM said agencies could charge fees for properties to be taken off the market, which she described as "money for nothing".
"I just feel a bit frustrated really that the English government seems to have stolen the march on us," she said.
Ms Rathbone said the Welsh Government should take action as soon as possible, "otherwise Wales is protecting tenants in this regard less than in England and Scotland".
If the government does not move on the issue, Ms Rathbone said she would apply to create a private member's bill in the assembly to do so.
Ms Rathbone had voted against a Plaid attempt to allow for a ban to be implemented last year, but she said she did this after being told by the Welsh Government it did not think the assembly had the power to ban the fees.
But she said she had since found out the "best legal advice" was that the assembly does hold that power.
John Puzey, director of housing charity Shelter Cymru, said people had been coming to its housing advice services saying they were having "great difficulty" getting the money together to enter into the private rented sector.
"Not only do they have to come up with rent in advance, deposits and all that sort of stuff, but they also had to pay quite often really steep charges," he said.
But Residential Landlords Association chairman Alan Ward, who has spoken out against the...

Article: Those detained include players and directors from around 30 clubs from Italy's third and fourth divisions.
More than 70 people are also under investigation in the inquiry led by prosecutors in the southern town of Catanzaro.
Police said that some of those charged had links to mafia organisations.
Catanzaro prosecutors said they had uncovered an alleged network between club presidents, coaches, players, and some management members.
Those arrested are suspected of "conspiracy to commit sporting fraud", ANSA news agency said.
Police said they were studying suspicious results in dozens of matches.
Reports say that the 'Ndrangheta crime syndicate is believed to be behind some of the match-fixing.
The syndicate is a network of clans in Calabria - in the 'toe' of Italy - that dominates the country's cocaine trade.
Local media said that one police officer was also involved in the scandal.
It is not yet clear whether Tuesday's police inquiry is linked to a previous anti-match-fixing operation.
Police had already placed more than 100 people under investigation for suspected match-fixing since 2011.
But prosecutors in the cities of Cremona, Bari and Naples had been focusing on Serie A and B matches.

Plans to move a statue depicting a Royal Marine in the Falklands conflict away from Portsmouth seafront have been criticised.

Article: The company has announced the price of most post sent within the islands and to the UK will rise from 7 April.
Low Value Consignment Relief ended on 1 April 2012, but had allowed some items to be sent VAT-free to the UK.
Boley Smillie, chief executive, said the freeze aimed to help "an industry under significant pressure".
The price of a local letter will increase by 1p, from 40p to 41p, while the price of a letter to the UK will stay at 55p.
Other changes include rises for certain weights of large letters and packets sent to the UK with full details due to be released on the Guernsey Post website on Friday.
Mr Smillie said: "It's been another challenging year for Guernsey Post, but we believe we have been successful in keeping any increases to our postal tariff to a minimum.
"We are also confident that our prices remain competitive in comparison with the UK and Europe.
"As an example Royal Mail will be increasing the price of a letter for UK customers by 2p to 62p. By freezing the UK letter price in Guernsey at 55p, our rate is 7p cheaper."

Article: John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), warns that "tawdry political tactics" could deflect from important issues facing the UK economy.
Such a focus, he wrote in a letter to Westminster leaders, had "been sorely lacking in political discourse".
The BCC represents thousands of firms.
"For many businesses, both small and large, one of the greatest sources of challenge and uncertainty in 2015 isn't the state of global markets, but home-grown politics," Mr Longworth cautioned.
He further decried politicians who "race between television studios and events to undercut their rivals' policy pronouncements, to proclaim themselves most 'in touch' with the needs of the people".
"You must focus on the causes, not the symptoms, of the challenges that face our United Kingdom," he said.
The UK's public spending, and wider economic matters affecting the country, will be among the most hotly contested issues in the run-up to the next general-election, scheduled for May 2015.
In his letter - addressed to PM David Cameron, deputy PM and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, and Labour leader Ed Miliband, as well as other party leaders - Mr Longworth outlined some of the policies on the BCC's wish list.
He said the organisation wanted those in power to support UK companies that are "brave enough to sell products and services across the world," as well as help with training opportunities and new jobs for both the young and old.
The BCC also called for greater devolution across the UK, with more decisions made locally, and an end to what it termed "crushing input taxes".
"Maintaining corporation tax at 20% would be a sound beginning," Mr Longworth added.

Summary: The head of a major UK business group has called on politicians to rise above "point-scoring" in their general election campaigns next year.

Article: The last time the prices/earnings ratio was so high was more than eight years ago, in March 2008.
Over the last three years, house prices have risen by 20%, while wages have risen by just 6%, the Nationwide said.
In the year to the end of October, prices went up by 4.6%, down from 5.3% in September.
They were unchanged during the month of October.
The average price of a UK house fell from Â£206,015 to Â£205,904, on a non-seasonally adjusted basis.
The Nationwide said the weakness of the market may still reflect the changes to stamp duty in April this year, when landlords were faced with tax rises.
Despite the fact that the house prices are so expensive relative to wages, low interest rates have made them more affordable.
"The steady decline in borrowing costs over the same period has helped to lessen the impact on affordability for home buyers," said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist.
"Indeed, the typical mortgage payment expressed as a share of average take-home pay is little changed over the period, and is still in line with the long-run average."
Mr Gardner also pointed out price differences across the country, adding: "It is important to note that there is significant variation across the regions in terms of affordability.
"The cost of servicing the typical mortgage as a share of take-home pay is now above its 2007 peak in London and above its long-run average in the outer metropolitan and outer south-east regions.
"By contrast, housing appears far more affordable in northern England, Wales and Scotland."
Where can I afford to live?

Summary: The typical UK home now costs six times average annual earnings, even though house price inflation is slowing, according to the Nationwide.

Article: Since the 1920s, geologists have strongly suspected that the 'spotted dolerite' Bluestones, which form Stonehenge's inner ring, originated from Mynydd Preseli in the north of the county.
However, whilst the new findings have also linked a second type of stone  - rhyolites  - to the area, they call into question how the stones arrived in Wiltshire.
Perceived wisdom had it that Stone Age man transported the giant slabs via raft, up the Bristol Channel and River Avon.
But as Pont Saeson, the location of the new match, is to the north of the Preselis, some believe its unlikely that they would have been able to navigate the terrain in order to get the enormous rocks to the coast.
An alternative theory was that nature drove the stone to Stonehenge, in the path of an Ice Age glacier, although the absence of any other Welsh rock in the region seemed to have ruled out the possibility.
Yet Dr Richard Bevins, a geology expert from the museum which collaborated in the research by Aberystwyth and Sheffield Universities, believes it may now be time to revisit the idea.
"If humans were responsible then an alternative route might need to be considered. However, if, as some believe, the stones were transported by the actions of glacier sheets during the last glaciation, the Pont Saeson discovery will need appraising in the context of this hypothesis."
"Matching up the rock from Stonehenge with a rock outcrop in Pembrokeshire has been a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I've looked at many if not most outcrops in the Mynydd Preseli area.
"We are however, confident that we have found the source of one of the rhyolites from Stonehenge because we've been able to make the match on a range of features not just a single characteristic. Now we are looking for the sources of the other Stonehenge volcanic and sandstone rocks".
Dr Bevins' team are able to say so categorically that they've discovered the source of the rhyolites, thanks to a range of laser mass spectrometry techniques, which analyse both the chemical...

Article: The Yomper statue is currently located in front of the Royal Marines Museum at Eastney.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy has started consulting over a proposed move to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
Campaigners insist it is a local memorial to the conflict and "belongs" at Eastney.
The Yomper statue was created by Philip Jackson, depicting a royal marine marching across the islands during the 1982 conflict and was unveiled by former prime minister, Lady Thatcher, in 1992.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) is planning to relocate the Royal Marines Museum from Eastney to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard as part of a Â£13m lottery funded project and wants to take the statue with it.
An online petition against moving the statue has attracted more than 1,800 signatories, saying it was "now considered as our local Falklands War Memorial".
Sheila Mackie who set it up said: "The imposing scale of The Yomper needs space and adequate distance to be fully appreciated, and the visualization of the part in the major campaign that the statue represents couldn't be achieved in an interior space."
Conservative-led Portsmouth City Council also voted to express a "clear preference" that the statue remain where it it is.
Its motion stated: "The Yomper statue has graced the seafront for many years, serving as a reminder of both the Falklands War and of the Marines' historical association with Eastney."
NMRN director Jon Rawlinson said the new museum site would potentially have 750,000 visitors a year, compared to 40,000 at the current museum.
"He would be seen by far more people at the historic dockyard, but of course he was built for here [Eastney] and is part of here. "
He said no decision had been made and it would consider all comments submitted to its public consultation.

Article: A future Labour government would widen access to the arts, says Mr Miliband.
Schools would not be graded as "outstanding" unless offering a wide range of arts subjects and "cultural opportunities", says Mr Miliband.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said that arts subjects have already been made more "rigorous".
Mr Miliband says he wants to put "policy for arts and culture and creativity at the heart of the next Labour government's mission".
The need for creative education would be prioritised for inspections.
"Schools will only be able to receive an 'outstanding' rating if they offer creative subjects and cultural opportunities within a broad and balanced curriculum," said Mr Miliband.
There would also be an expectation that creative industries and arts institutions would offer more apprenticeships, "in return for direct grants or major government contracts".
The arts had an important impact on individual lives and on the country's economy, the Labour leader said, in a speech to the Creative Industries Federation.
"The creative industries are our second biggest sector," Mr Miliband said.
But he warned there was insufficient access to the arts in school, pointing to evidence from last week's Warwick Commission on the Future of Cultural Values.
The report from Warwick University warned that creative subjects were at risk of being squeezed out of schools.
It found that between 2003 and 2013 there had been a 50% drop in GCSE entries for design and technology, 23% for drama and 25% for other craft-related subjects.
And it found that the number of arts teachers in schools had fallen by up to 11%.
The Department for Education had responded to the report by saying that arts subjects were already statutory in primary schools and up to the start of GCSEs.
A spokesman said that the number of pupils taking music and art and design GCSE had risen between 2013 to 2014.
"We are clear that arts education should be every bit as rigorous as the rest of the school curriculum, and we have strengthened the national curriculum in...

Article: The legislation will now be put to a vote in the Senate next week, where its prospects are unclear.
The 875-mile (1,408km) pipeline would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada, to the US state of Nebraska where it joins pipes running to Texas.
President Barack Obama is said to take a "dim view" of the legislation, but has not directly threatened a veto.
The project has pitted Republicans and other supporters, who say it will create much needed jobs, against many Democrats and environmentalists, who warn the pipeline will add to carbon emissions and contribute to global warming.
A state department report raised no major environmental objections in February, but the final recommendation was delayed amid a court battle over the project in Nebraska.
The state department is involved because the pipeline would cross an international border.
The Keystone XL pipeline aims to carry some 830,000 barrels of heavy crude a day from the fields in Alberta to Nebraska.
The oil would then be transported on existing pipes to refineries in Texas. The southern section of the project was finished last year.
"At some point, President Obama has to realise that his blockade of the Keystone XL pipeline is forcing American consumers to depend on volatile oil-rich regimes and is hurting our diplomatic relationship with our top trading partner - Canada," House Foreign Affairs committee chairman Ed Royce said in a statement.
The bill passed easily with a 252-161 vote, but it was not the first time the House had voted to approve the project.
However, the latest vote stands the best chance in six years of making its way to Mr Obama's desk.
The bill's sponsor, Louisiana Representative Bill Cassidy, is facing a run-off election against incumbent Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu for her seat.
Ms Landrieu - among the pipeline's Democratic supporters - successfully pushed the Senate to hold the vote on the measure on Tuesday.
Supporters of the measure say they are confident they have the 60 votes, including several Democrats, needed for...

Article: Taking the initiative and starting a conversation with them, Faisal and Ahmed then tell me of the reasons for their visit to Dubai  - including attending camel races.
Camel races? I exclaim, eager to know the story. "I'm fond of camel breeding and racing, it is a family tradition," replies Faisal.
"My paternal grandfather and his family adored rearing camels, whereas my maternal grandfather and his family enjoyed rearing horses. I have been obsessed with camels since my childhood," he says.
While Faisal works in the communications industry, outside of work he rears camels with the help of his family because, he says "it absorbs the negative energy accumulated during the week".
These days, camels are no longer raised for their milk and meat as they used to be - instead they've become a way to make money and become a millionaire.
Faisal explains that camels are fed on a rich diet including honey, fresh milk, eggs, dates and vitamins. You feed camels honey, isn't it expensive? I ask. "We spend £1,000 a month to prepare a camel for a race," he answers.
Faisal also explains the age at which a camel starts racing varies between two years and seven - once the trainer feels that the camel is ready.
Racing camels, it must be said, does not come cheap.
The rulers of Gulf states generally determine the camels' prices. "They buy camels from their owners and raise them, but never sell them," says Feisal. "The rulers participate on an equal footing with their citizens in the competitions.
"They do so, with the aid of Omanis who are well known for this [camel racing]," he explains.
But how much does a camel cost? Faisal says that a camel's price starts from about $55,000 (£40,000) but thoroughbreds can go for a lot more. Back in 2010 an Emirati camel-racing fan spent £6.5m on three camels.
The prices of winning camels go even higher - from between $5-10m, but for some can fetch up to $30m. Faisal looked nonchalant when he was speaking about the prices, while I vainly try not to look shocked.
But attaining to this level is...

Article: The South Wales group of the Gilbern Owners Club brought the annual Gilbern Weekend to their area, as they do every four years.
These cars, manufactured between 1959 and 1974, returned to their spiritual home, just a few miles from Llantwit Fardre, where two eccentric engineers built cars to take on the best British and German sports cars in a garage behind a butcher's shop.
It's a story of Welsh pride, engineering bravery in the face of big business and eventual failure in an economic crisis.
Bryan Mote, member of the Gilbern Owners Club and organiser of the weekend, is one of those 700 or so people worldwide who owns one of these cars.
"Most Gilbern owners love their cars because of the rarity, driveability and Welshness," he said.
"These cars were a wonderful feat for a local butcher and ex-prisoner of war, experimenting with fibre glass."
Giles Smith of Llantwit Fardre and Kent-based ex-prisoner-of-war Bernard Friese met by chance in the late 1950s and decided to build a one-off car in the fibreglass technology that both men admired.
Their first effort was judged, by Welsh racing driver Peter Cottrell, as too good to be a one-off.
Encouraged by this, they started production, to praise from the motoring press. Over 1000 GTs, Genies and Invaders were produced over the next 14 years.
By 1966 Gilbern had begun putting powerful V6 engines in its cars, taking on the might of British makes like Jaguar and Rover, and the German likes of BMW and Mercedes.
It had a celebrity following, with drivers including the Prince of Wales, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ms Marks, of Marks and Spencer fame.
Gilbern Cars eventually fell victim to the 1974 economic crisis, with the stock market and the three-day week playing more of a part even than the oil crisis.
Bryan Mote says that Gilbern cars are only going up in value. "Out of about 1000 cars produced, the club are aware of about 700 still around, with many undergoing restoration or awaiting restoration.
"The value in recent times has increased, with a restorable car from about...

"We've lost a beautiful loving wife, mum, daughter and sister who will never be forgotten.
"Louise was an outgoing, hard working and loving person. An incredible hole has been left in our family which can never be filled."
The family thanked staff at Swansea's Morriston hospital who treated the mother-of-three and her daughter.
They also paid tribute to police, members of the public and staff from the Principality building society who looked after Olivia after the incident.
After the crash, Swansea council said it would install temporary barriers along the central reservation of the road.
It has already dropped the speed limit to 20mph following concerns from residents that the road was unsafe.
In a letter to the council, Swansea's acting senior coroner Colin Phillips said the road had a "serious design issue", which "must be addressed".
Mr Phillips issued the report as part of his investigation into the death of Daniel Foss, 37, who died after being hit by a bus on The Kingsway in September 2013.

Summary:

Article: The month-long amnesty comes ahead of Wiltshire Council's crackdown on tenancy fraud.
A council spokesman said the cost of placing a family in temporary accommodation is Â£18,000 a year and the fraud stops genuine people in need.
Those found guilty of tenancy fraud can face up to two years in prison.
"They also risk an unlimited statutory fine and will have to pay back any profits they have made," the spokesman said.
"Social housing tenants may be prosecuted for not occupying their home as their main residence and illegally subletting parts or the whole of their home.
"Anyone who returns their keys at reception at the Wiltshire Council offices in Salisbury or Trowbridge before 10 February will not face legal action," he added.
At present there are more than 17,500 social housing properties in Wiltshire, with 5,319 of those owned by Wiltshire Council.

Summary: People illegally subletting their council-provided homes are being offered the chance to hand in keys with "no questions asked".

Article: Gurpreet Sandhu hit Horace Downes as he crossed Brassington Avenue, Sutton Coldfield, to go to place a bet.
Mr Downes died of an infection four months after the November crash.
Sandhu, 27, of Church Lane, Handsworth, who previously admitted dangerous driving, was jailed for three years and banned from driving for seven.
He was driving about 56mph in a 30mph zone when he hit Mr Downes, West Midlands Police said.
Mr Downes, known as John to family and friends, suffered a life threatening head injury but was moved from hospital to a rehabilitation centre just over a month after the collision.
But he died as a result of infection after being readmitted to hospital in February this year. A post-mortem examination did not establish a link to the collision.
His family have since allowed footage of the crash to be released in the hope it will deter others from driving at speed.
Mr Downes's daughter Janet Turner described her father as "the heart and soul of the family".
Reading a statement at Sandhu's sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday, she said: "It is not possible to put into words the pain and distress felt by the family."
Sgt Adam Green, from West Midlands Police, said Mr Downes's family had endured suffering because of "the selfish actions of one individual".
"Gurpreet Sandhu was late for work on the day of the collision. He drove at twice the speed limit in heavy rain, in an area where the likelihood of pedestrians being present was high.
"In allowing the graphic CCTV footage to be released, John's family hope that people will realise the impact of speeding and it will prevent another family suffering the same consequences."

Summary: A man who was late for work and driving at almost twice the speed limit has been jailed after he knocked down a 91-year-old man, who later died.

Article: A new law comes into force in April which makes is compulsory for all dogs to be tagged.
It is hoped this will help to trace lost or stolen dogs and hold irresponsible owners to account.
Microchipping dogs is a quick procedure which involves putting a tiny device between the animal's shoulders.
It can then be easily scanned to show up basic information about the dog, such as who its owner is.
Microchipping will be offered for free at many vets across the country and some animal charities such as the Dogs Trust rehoming centres in Glasgow and West Calder.
About two-thirds of dogs in Scotland have already been microchipped voluntarily.
Owners who do not comply by April could face a fine of up to Â£500.
A public consultation in 2014 showed that more than 83% of those who took part favoured making microchipping compulsory.
The new law is set to be introduced in England and Wales at the same time.

Summary: Dog owners in Scotland are being urged to get their animals microchipped in the new year.

Article: The 7.5 metre (24.5ft) male shark was discovered on Kirk Michael beach on the west coast of the island.
A Manx Basking Shark Watch spokeswoman said people should not go near the carcass as it is very decomposed.
The Isle of Man government will take samples for scientific investigation before burying the shark.
Marine Officer for the Manx Wildlife Trust Lara Howe said from initial inspection is looks like the creature died from "natural causes."
"We recommend that people don't touch it or let their dogs near it as the carcass can contain harmful bacteria," she said.
Basking sharks are are the second largest fish in the world, feed on plankton and are usually spotted in Manx waters from mid-May.
Anyone who sees a shark off the island's coast over the next few months can report the sighting to either Whale and Dolphin Watch or the Manx Basking Shark Watch.
According to Jackie Hall of the Manx Basking Shark Watch, the sharks may be native and never actually leave Manx waters.

Summary: A decomposing basking shark washed up on an Isle of Man beach may pose a "serious health hazard", wildlife experts have warned.

Article: Angus Carpenter, of Liverpool, who has played in the city centre for more than 30 years, denied three counts of fraud.
The 62-year-old was found guilty of one count when he played with a Hillsborough Justice Campaign banner draped on his bagpipes in April 2015.
He was cleared of the two other counts by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court.
Sgt Chris Gaynor told the court during the two day trial that Carpenter, from Woolton, gave the impression he was collecting cash for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.
In his defence, Carpenter - who usually wears a kilt and piper's regalia when he performs - said he had piped for the charity in the past but on this occasion he was simply busking.
Kenneth Derbyshire, chairman of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, said he had given Carpenter permission to design and display a banner featuring the eternal flame and the word justice.
But he said he had made it clear he was not use it to collect funds for the charity.
Carpenter told the court the banner was a tribute to the victims, not an attempt to deceive anyone.
He also told the court he was a familiar face on match days at Anfield and known as a busker to the Hillsborough Justice Campaign.
He will be sentenced in January.

Summary:


The first episode of the BBC's new costume drama War and Peace was watched by more than six million viewers.

Article: John Moody, 45, of Kerrison Avenue, Norwich, repeatedly stabbed 39-year-old Karen Brown and Kenneth Snell, aged 65.
The couple's bodies were found at Mr Snell's home in Cringleford, Norfolk, on 31 October 2009.
Moody denied murder at Norwich Crown Court but admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He will be sentenced on Friday.
Moody and Ms Brown, who had been in a violent 12-year relationship which ended in 2008, used to run the sandwich shop Baguette Express near Norwich Market.
Moody murdered Ms Brown and Mr Snell after being told of their relationship earlier that day, the court heard.
The prosecution said their deaths were caused by "an angry and jealous man".
But the defence urged jurors to accept Moody was suffering from an abnormality of the mind.
The court heard that Moody "lost his self-control" and drove to Mr Snell's home armed with a hammer and knife.
He smashed through the front door and attacked Ms Brown in the back garden with the weapons, while repeatedly shouting: "Why did you lie?"
The jury was played recordings of the 999 calls made by Ms Brown and Mr Snell.
In the call made by Ms Brown, at 2100 GMT, she is heard to say: "I have got an intruder who is violent, who is aggressive. I don't know who it is."
She then shouts the name "John Moody" twice and is heard to say: "You don't want to do this, do you? Not really."
As the call continues, Moody is heard to ask: "Tell me why you lied?" more than 50 times as groaning sounds and yelps of pain are heard in the background.
Post-mortem examinations showed Ms Brown sustained 13 stab wounds and 31 other injuries.
Several wounds on her forearm suggested she had put her arms up to protect herself, the court heard.
Mr Snell, who sustained seven stab wounds and 38 other injuries, died after being stabbed in the heart.

Summary: An "angry and jealous man" has been found guilty of murdering his ex-partner and her new boyfriend.

Article: However, a documentary called Tickled shines a spotlight on those who take part in it, when a TV reporter from New Zealand, David Farrier, uncovers not just a quirky sport, but a whole industry, and an underworld with allegations of cyber bullying.
Two years ago, Farrier, known for his "and finally" news pieces at his local TV station, discovered what was described as "competitive endurance tickling" videos online.
They featured young men in professional sportswear tickling each other.
A US-based company, Jane O'Brien Media, was producing the videos and offering substantial fees for anyone selected to take part in the shoots in Los Angeles.
"Right in the beginning I thought it was entirely innocent, perhaps with a subtext," explains Farrier.  "I thought it was someone's idea of a funny strange sport, as it was in a photography studio, a professional space. All the men were wearing sportswear so I thought it was someone's odd idea of a tickling league."
"I was intrigued and thought about doing a two-minute feature on it for my show, "he adds, "so I got in touch with them. Really, a short feature was all I was aiming for."
In response however, Farrier, who is bisexual, says he received emails stating that the company did not want to deal with "a homosexual journalist".
"I was a little upset but part of me thought it was funny," he adds. "I didn't understand why a company that makes men-only tickling videos would say that."
"Instinct, intrigue and fascination" drove him and his co-director Dylan Reeve on to find out more about the videos, despite representatives of the company flying to Auckland to threaten legal action. Farrier successfully raised the money for a documentary using the crowd-funding platform, Kickstarter.
"We probably did go into it quite naively," he believes.
"We never expected to find what we did. If you watch the film you'll find it's not really about tickling - it's about power.
"We were interested in the psychology of what made these men take part in the videos, and it was mainly guys who...

Summary: Of all sports that are unlikely to be considered for the next Olympics in Tokyo, "competitive endurance tickling" might be at the top of the list.

Article: Alexandra Wrage, a Canadian member of Fifa's Independent Governance Committee (IGC) and an expert in corporate anti-corruption measures, is "frustrated and surprised" that Fifa has failed to back several measures she regards as "really bland, straightforward governance provisions" after a meeting of its leading executive committee last week.
Wrage is now urging the Football Association and other national FAs to adopt the rejected reforms and raise them at Fifa's annual congress in May.
These include measures to:
The deadline for adding items to the congress agenda is this Friday.
"I think we only have a few days as it's a tight schedule but they are permitted to add items to the agenda and this is the time to do it," she said.
"It's going to take some organisation, some speed and some courage but it's absolutely possible."
Fifa launched its reform process almost two years ago amid fierce criticism after Mohamed bin Hammam, an election rival to Blatter, was accused of bribery. Bin Hammam was later banned for life by Fifa, but he continues to deny any wrongdoing.
Several executive committee members also faced allegations of corruption in the bid process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Football's world governing body later admitted that candidate countries Spain and Qatar colluded over votes for the two tournaments.
In addition to questions over World Cup bidding, the long-running ISL case has added to a public perception of impropriety within Fifa - with claims that senior officials accepted payments from its former marketing partner. A file has now been passed to Fifa's ethics adjudicator Joachim Eckert for review, with a decision expected in mid-April.
Following Fifa's failure to take forward the bulk of the IGC's recommendations, Wrage says she is considering resigning from the committee.
Stakeholders have the right to know, especially in an organisation awash with money as this one is, what senior executives are making
"I can only speak for myself but that is one of the options - there's very little point...

Article: Labrador Retrievers gain an average of 0.9kg (2lb) each year between the ages of one and four, putting them at risk of being overweight by middle age.
The project was led by scientists at Edinburgh University.
The team assessed the activity levels and size of more than 4,000 Kennel Club registered Labrador Retrievers.
The study found that, on average, dogs were exercised for more than two hours each day.
Dogs that spent more time fetching, chasing and retrieving tended to weigh less, the team said.
Chocolate-coloured Labradors were found to weigh, on average, 1.4kg (3lb) more than yellow and black Labradors.
While exercise is important, other factors such as genetics appear to play a role in why some dogs gain more weight than others in early life, the team said.
Previous research suggests that, in the UK, Labrador Retrievers are the breed most likely to be overweight.
The dogs are fully grown after 18 months and are regarded as being near middle aged by the time they reach four.
Researchers said putting on nearly 1kg (2lb) every year after reaching maturity puts many at risk of obesity.
The findings are part of the Dogslife project, which seeks to gain a greater insight into links between the Labradors' lifestyles and their health and wellbeing.
Initial findings will help researchers carry out further studies into the links between dogs' body size, lifestyle and overall health.
The study, published in the journal Preventive Veterinary Medicine, was funded by the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, The Roslin Foundation and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
Dr Dylan Clements, of the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and The Roslin Institute, who led the study, said: "Dogslife is a ground-breaking study of canine health, which is made possible thanks to the incredible dedication of dog owners."

Summary: The UK's most popular dog breed can suffer from weight gain in middle age just like people, a canine health survey has found.

Article: The drama, which stars Paul Dano, Lily James and James Norton, has also won rave reviews.
The adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's novel averaged 6.3 million viewers, peaking at 6.7 million.
It was up against ITV's Endeavour and spy drama Deutschland 83 on Channel 4, which averaged 4.4 million and 1.2 million viewers respectively.
War and Peace picked up 25% of the audience share, against 19% for Endeavour, 6% for Deutschland 83 and 4.1% for My Mediterranean with Adrian Chiles on BBC Two.
The costume drama has been written by Andrew Davies, who is best known for his 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth.
'Sweeping victory'
In the Daily Telegraph Serena Davies gave it four stars, calling it "an excellent adaptation" and "smart storytelling on a truly epic scale".
Christopher Stevens in the Daily Mail called the opening hour-long episode "nothing less than a sweeping victory".
While The Guardian's Viv Groskop said: "It's hard to imagine how the BBC could have done a better job."
Downton Abbey star James plays Natasha Rostov in the drama, with Dano - who starred in 12 Years a Slave - as Pierre Bezukhov and Grantchester star James Norton as Prince Andrei.
The classic novel follows the three as they experience love and loss against the backdrop of Russia's wars with Napoleon.
It also stars Gillian Anderson, Rebecca Front and Stephen Rea, who were also praised for their performances.
The show has been made by the BBC in collaboration with The Weinstein company and will premiere on Lifetime, A&E and History channel in the US on 18 January.

Article: Aberystwyth University researchers are asking people what they enjoy about the programmes and films.
Monty Python is considered one of the enduring icons of British popular culture in the 1970s and 80s and is still popular now.
But Kate Egan, leading the study, said that "doesn't tell us what people really enjoy about them".
"Clearly, and after nearly 50 years, Monty Python's popularity has continued to grow," she said.
"What is it that different people most remember and value about their encounters with Python - whether on television, at the cinema, on stage, or in front of the record player?
"Whether people love them, like them, are entertained or irritated by them; whether their views on Python have changed or stayed the same; whether they first discovered them in 1969 or only recently, I'm interested in people's thoughts, experiences and memories."
The surreal comedy group gained prominence in 1969 with its sketch comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Written and performed by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, 45 episodes were broadcast over five years.
Monty Python went on to produce feature films including The Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life, live stage shows, albums, books and musicals.
In 2014, the Monty Python team were reunited on stage at London's O2 arena.

Article: Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates has updated requirements for the foreign-owned firms hoping to win the contract and create the £600m South Wales Metro.
The existing contract did not contain specifications for "rolling stock".
Mr Skates said some of the trains in service were nearly 40 years old and "simply not up to the task".
Abellio, Arriva, KeolisAmey and MTR all hope to secure the next Wales and Borders franchise, due to be awarded in 2018.
The successful bidder will have to reinvest a portion of its profits in the railway and will be responsible for delivering a major upgrade to the rail network in and around Cardiff as part of the Metro scheme.
Transport for Wales, a Welsh Government-owned company, is assessing the bids.
Mr Skates said: "It is important that high quality rolling stock which meets passenger expectations is delivered as part of the next rail service contract."
The newest trains in service at present are more than 20 years old and this new demand for bidders comes after a public consultation in which people said they wanted to see a number of improvements.
Bidders must "minimise the impact" new rolling stock has on the environment.
In the meantime, the minister also said he was working with current operator Arriva Trains Wales to increase capacity on busy services.

Article: It appears that the criminals used stolen personal data taken from other websites that had been hacked, to pretend to be legitimate users.
The Internal Revenue Service was warned of the potential for unauthorised access to the accounts in March.
The online IRS' Get Transcript app involved in the breach has been shut down and an investigation is underway.
The scam's perpetrators managed to set up fake tax returns and file for tax refunds. The IRS told the New York Times that it had paid nearly $50m (Â£32.5m) in refunds before it had detected the scheme.
The IRS says more than 200,000 attempts to view past tax returns using stolen information were made from February to mid-May with around half of those being successful.
"We're confident that these are not amateurs," said John Koskinen, the IRS commissioner.
"These actually are organized crime syndicates that everybody in the financial industry is dealing with."
Security experts are concerned that the IRS' system appeared not to use multi-factor identification, for example sending a one-off code to a users' mobile phone for them to tap into the website, so as to verify that the person giving the information has access to the phone number on record.
The cybersecurity blog Krebs on Security warned in March that the IRS' system could be breached when it reported on the case of Michael Kasper, who had tried to file his tax return only to be told that he had already done so.
In that case criminals had set up an account in Mr Kasper's name using his social security number, but with a different email address. They filed a false tax return in order to claim a tax refund and had conned the IRS into paying that "refund" into a bank account that Mr Kasper did not recognise.
"The IRS' process for verifying people ... is vulnerable to exploitation by fraudsters because it relies on static identifiers and so-called "knowledge-based authentication"  â€” ie challenge questions that can be easily defeated with information widely available for sale in the cybercrime underground...

Article: The British Geological Survey and the Environment Agency have mapped where key aquifers in England and Wales coincide with locations of shale.
The research reveals this occurs under nearly half of the area containing the principal natural stores of water.
The risk of methane being released into drinking water has long been one of the most sensitive questions over fracking.
The study highlights where the rock layers may be too close to the aquifers for fracking to go ahead.
It finds that the Bowland Shale in northern England - the first to be investigated for shale gas potential - runs below no fewer than six major aquifers.
However, the study also says that almost all of this geological formation - 92% of it - is at least 800m below the water-bearing rocks.
Industry officials have always argued that a separation of that size between a shale layer and an aquifer should make any contamination virtually impossible.
They say that wells are sealed with steel and concrete as they pass through water-bearing rocks and that any fissures created by fracking far below would be highly unlikely to spread through hundreds of metres of rock.
Environmentalists say that the processes of drilling and of fracturing rock inherently carry the risk of polluting a vital resource.
Analysis of the Weald Basin in southern England shows that the uppermost layer of oil-bearing shale is at least 650m below a major aquifer.
Dr John Bloomfield, of the British Geological Survey, said the maps could serve as a guide for regulators and planners.
"We've identified areas where aquifers are in relatively close proximity to shale units and any developments would have to be looked at particularly carefully," he said.
"It's no surprise that the same system of sedimentation that produces shale also produces limestone which is excellent for storing water."
Aquifers such as the Oolite, which runs from Yorkshire through the East Midlands to the south coast of England, are often in direct contact with a shale layer.

Article: Thomas Orchard, 32, died in October 2012 after being arrested in Exeter.
But Bristol Crown Court heard custody sergeant Jan Kingshott, 44, "did his best" despite the outcome.
Mr Kingshott and civilian detention officers Simon Tansley, 38, and Michael Marsden, 55, all deny manslaughter.
Patrick Gibbs, for the defence, said: "What Mr Kingshott did was straightforward and professional and, in almost every respect, standard procedure.
"You will not find any anger, any sudden movement or over-reaction at Mr Orchard's behaviour, or any brutality.
"What you will find is force. We need to be straight with ourselves about the practical realities of force."
Mr Gibbs described Mr Orchard - who had schizophrenia - as "angry and aggressive" when he arrived at the custody centre.
Mr Gibbs said: "It was not Mr Orchard's fault that he was behaving the way he was behaving. Mr Orchard was not at fault but it doesn't mean force was unnecessary.
"It was not obviously unnecessary to look to the equipment which they had been given and had been trained to use."
Church caretaker Mr Orchard was handcuffed, held down and had an emergency response belt put across his face to restrain him, the court previously heard.
Mr Gibbs said: "Mr Kingshott does not pretend that everything was perfect or there is nothing that could have been improved.
"But he is not a computer. What he did not know was how this would turn out."
He told the court Mr Kingshott "did his best" and "he was a good custody sergeant, a decent person and a good witness".
Mr Orchard was pronounced dead seven days after the incident in hospital.

Article: The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) has notified Highland Council of its plan to potentially submit a formal planning application for HMP Highland.
The proposed site is next to homes built for Scotland's Housing Expo, which was held in 2010.
HMP Highland would replace 112-year-old Inverness Prison, also known as Porterfield, near the city centre.
The jail is one of the smallest and oldest in Scotland.
The 103-prisoner-capacity Victorian-era building has had problems with overcrowding and the SPS said there was no room to expand the site.
It has proposed a family help hub and community integration facility for prisoners as part of the new "fit-for-purpose" prison.
Milton of Leys is a large southern suburb of Inverness. The area and proposed site has close access to the A9.
The housing expo at Balvonie Braes at Milton of Leys was held to promote new designs in housing. Most of the properties were later sold, or rented.
SPS announced about seven years ago that it planned to build a new prison in Inverness.
In 2010, SPS was told it could not build a new prison on land at the Inverness Campus.
The SPS had been in discussion with landowner Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) about constructing the jail at the Beechwood site.
HIE said the plan was given serious consideration but it did not have "a strong strategic fit" with its vision.

Article: However, the DUP leader and first minister Arlene Foster has said it will not happen.
Mrs Foster said: "I will sit where I sit, I'm sure Sinn Féin will continue to sit where they sit and there will be no change.
"I won the election."
She said Stormont was not Westminster and added that "unionism was with her on these matters, in terms of having a good strong stable, government for Northern Ireland".
Sinn Féin also said that they were against any change to where MLAs sit in the assembly.
"As far as Sinn Féin is concerned there will be no change in the seating arrangements in the assembly chamber," said Michelle O'Neill.
"If this is the best suggestion Mike Nesbitt can come up with as his first act in opposition it shows how much of a political irrelevance he and his party have become."
At Stormont, the DUP and Sinn Féin face each other across the chamber even though they are in government together.
In Westminster, the government is one one side of the House of Commons, with the opposition on the other.
"If they [DUP and Sinn Féin] don't want to sit side by side, why are they sitting side by side as partners in government," Mr Nesbitt said.
"And I think if they don't agree to changing the seating arrangements, if they have a sort of embarrassment or reluctance to sit together in the chamber then I don't think we are in for a very progressive five years."
Mr Nesbitt told BBC Radio Ulster's Inside Politics programme he had been tempted by the thought of taking ministerial office, but there was "no doubt" in his mind and the minds of the UUP MLAs' group "that the right thing to do was to go for opposition".
He said it was up to the other parties to "make their minds up" on whether they wanted to join the UUP in opposition.
Earlier, the Ulster Unionist Party's (UUP) former leader David Trimble said its move to form the Northern Ireland Assembly's first ever opposition was a "sign of confidence".

Article: Glasgow 2014 has been recognised for efforts to reduce carbon emissions, waste and promote healthy living.
But Friends of the Earth said pledges to ban the most polluting vehicles from venue areas had been broken.
Glasgow 2014 admitted vehicles fell short of low emission targets but said it was committed to sustainability.
Friends of the Earth Scotland said low emission zones - where the most polluting vehicles are restricted or discouraged - had been a key plank of environmental promises that underpinned Glasgow's bid.
Air pollution campaigner Emilia Hanna said: "This promise has been broken.
"The zones were a key project and Glasgow won the bid for the Commonwealth Games in part because of its green promises.
"What we now know is that there will not be low emission zones during the Games.
"We were expecting restrictions covering a wide area of several streets out from each venue, but all we are getting is the existing security cordon immediately around the sites.
"Part of the legacy of the Games could have been to demonstrate for the first time in Scotland the difference that low emission zones could make to pollution.
"Any restrictions on vehicles covering such a limited area as effectively pointless."
A Glasgow 2014 spokesman, speaking on behalf of Games partners, said it had proved challenging to procure the vehicles necessary to reach the standards required for low emission zones.
But he said that despite the "setback" they had achieved certification for sustainability on par with what was achieved at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Environmental measures include:
The spokesman added: "Sustainability remains at the core of our decisions and we continue to work collaboratively through the Glasgow 2014 Environment Forum, which comprises representatives from Scottish government, the Organising Committee, Glasgow City Council, and a wide range of environmental regulatory groups and non-governmental organisations.

Article: John Biggadike died when he fell while in the hoist and was impaled on a metal post at Boston Pilgrim Hospital.
At Lincoln Crown Court, the prosecution alleged hospital staff were not adequately trained and had wrongly removed a knee support pad.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust denies breaching health and safety regulations.
Mr Biggadike was receiving physiotherapy at the hospital ahead of being discharged in April 2012 when the incident happened.
More stories from around Lincolnshire
The defence suggest Mr Biggadike's death was not caused by failings in training, but by a failure to act after a previous "serious incident" with a hoist at a hospital in Leicester in 2007.
Jurors heard evidence from Sarah Vincent, representing the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Mrs Vincent admitted the Leicester incident was "serious" but conceded the subsequent MHRA investigation was limited to questioning the hoist manufacturer's own investigation and making sure the hospital trust had instructions for using the hoist.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust denies breach of health and safety regulations by exposing non-employees to risk by failing to train, supervise and monitor its employees in relation to the safe use of the lifting hoist on dates between July 2001 and April 2012.

The parliament has endorsed the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon's preferred timetable suggesting a referendum would "most appropriately be between the autumn of 2018, when there is clarity over the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, and around the point at which the UK leaves the EU in spring 2019".
The timing would have obvious advantages for the SNP - Theresa May would be distracted by Brexit and UK government departments would have little time to work on research designed to dent or destroy the economic case for independence.
The prime minister and her advisers are all too aware of this - so what happens if Theresa May continues to dig her heels in and not only repeats "now is not that time" but suggests 2019 won't be the time either?
Senior SNP sources dismiss the idea that, under these circumstances, Nicola Sturgeon will attempt to organise a 'consultative' referendum without Westminster agreement which would have no constitutional standing.
So they will attempt to maintain pressure for a properly constituted, legally watertight referendum through sophisticated social media campaigning and - they hope - headline grabbing initiatives, such as declaring the economic case for independence is no longer reliant on oil revenues.
According to her public statements, Nicola Sturgeon is suggesting there should only be a little bit of wriggle room on the timing of that referendum - "a bit beyond" Brexit.
The reason for this is that the party's strategists have been conducting focus groups amongst those who firmly voted against independence last time. And they find that the timing argument is particularly resonant with those who voted No in the 2014 referendum and Remain in 2016.
Hence you will hear Nicola Sturgeon use phrases such as having a vote "before it's too late" to appeal to this...

Summary: The Scottish Parliament has voted to back a second independence referendum.

Article: But experts say many other factors could be at play and people should not stop taking supplements.
University of Auckland researchers analysed 23 studies involving more than 4,000 healthy people.
The UK government recommends children and over-65s take a daily supplement.
The New Zealand research team conducted a meta-analysis of all randomised trials examining the effects of vitamin D supplementation on bone mineral density in healthy adults up to July 2012.
The supplements were taken for an average of two years by the study participants.
Bone mineral density is a measure of bone strength and measures the amount of bone mineral present at different sites in the body. It is often seen as an indicator for the risk of osteoporosis, which can lead to an increased risk of fracture.
The trials took place in a number of different countries including the UK, the US, Australia, Holland, Finland and Norway.
Although the results did not identify any benefits for people who took vitamin D, they did find a small but statistically significant increase in bone density at the neck of the femur near the hip joint.
According to the authors, this effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Prof Ian Reid, lead study author, from the University of Auckland, said the findings showed that healthy adults did not need to take vitamin D supplements.
"Our data suggest that the targeting of low-dose vitamin D supplements only to individuals who are likely to be deficient could free up substantial resources that could be better used elsewhere in healthcare."
Writing about the study in The Lancet, Clifford J Rosen from the Maine Medical Research Institute agrees that science's understanding of vitamin D supports the findings for healthy adults, but not for everyone.
"Supplementation to prevent osteoporosis in healthy adults is not warranted. However, maintenance of vitamin D stores in the elderly combined with sufficient dietary calcium intake remains an effective approach for prevention of hip fractures."
The Department of Health...

Summary: Healthy adults do not need to take vitamin D supplements, suggests a study in The Lancet which found they had no beneficial effect on bone density, a sign of osteoporosis.

Article: Plans to create a hub airport in the Thames Estuary were rejected by the Airports Commission (AC) in 2014.
In a report entitled Landing The Right Airport, the mayor says a four-runway airport east of London is the only way to secure enough capacity.
Opponents previously described "Boris Island" as "financially, geographically and environmentally wrong".
"If we are to secure the connectivity we need to support our future growth and prosperity and do so without dire impacts on public health - then we must do better than Heathrow," Mr Johnson said.
Building an airport at one of two locations in the Thames Estuary or expanding Stansted in Essex "away from populated areas" was the "only credible solution", according to the Mayor of London.
In his forward to the 78-page document, he added: "Each could accommodate the four-runway hub that London and the UK needs.
"Our analysis predicts that they would offer around double the number of long haul and domestic destinations served by Heathrow today, while exposing 95% fewer people to significant aircraft noise.
"A four-runway hub to the east of London, rather than jarring with the growth of London will support it, catalysing regeneration and housing to the east."
In July, the AC recommended building a new runway at Heathrow rather than providing a second runway at Gatwick.
But it did not completely rule out another runway at Gatwick or doubling an existing runway at Heathrow.
The government has delayed its decision on airport expansion in the South East until the summer at the earliest, saying more work needed to be done on the potential environmental impact.
In September 2014, Sir Howard Davies, chairman of the commission, said the cost, economic disruption and environmental issues made the Thames Estuary airport plan unviable.
Daniel Moylan, aviation adviser to Mr Johnson, said a hub airport to the east of London would cost £20bn to £25bn - with an extra £25bn required to building road and rail connections.
Constructing a third runway at Heathrow is estimated to cost...

Summary: Boris Johnson has refloated the idea of an island airport as an alternative to a third runway at Heathrow.

Article: The items at Rievaulx Abbey, near Helmsley, North Yorkshire, are being displayed following a Â£1.8m redevelopment by English Heritage.
Objects on display include a half-tonne lead bar stamped with Henry's emblem which is all that remains of the abbey's roofs and windows.
Rievaulx Abbey was destroyed by royal command in 1538.
Other exhibits include medieval stone carvings, chess pieces and gold coins that tell the story of the first Cistercian abbey in the north of England.
Dr Michael Carter, for English Heritage, said: "Rievaulx Abbey is one of the most important abbeys in England and the setting one of the most beautiful.
"It was a place of huge spiritual significance for the country and one utterly transformed by dramatic upheavals under Henry VIII."
Rievaulx was founded in 1132 and at its peak in the 1160s was home to more than 600 men.
Many of the ruined buildings seen today were constructed by Aelred, abbot from 1147 to 1167, who became the most prominent religious figure of his day in England.
It was one of more than 800 monasteries closed by Henry VIII and his chief minister Thomas Cromwell following the reformation which severed the English church from Rome.

Summary: Artefacts from an abbey destroyed by Henry VIII have gone on display for the first time in nearly 500 years.

Article: The British supermarket giant, the world's third largest retailer, has been looking to dispose of its loss-making US food chain for some time.
Around 4,000 of Fresh & Easy's 5,000 employees are to transfer to the new business as part of the deal.
Tesco said in a statement that this is an "orderly and efficient exit from the US market".
Under the terms of the deal, Tesco will loan the new business around Â£80m.
Fresh & Easy, which operates 200 stores across California, Nevada and Arizona, has lost money since opening in 2007.
Tesco did not specify which stores are being transferred to Yucaipa, but it is understood the remaining 50 shops will be closed.
It will cost Tesco Â£150m to dispose of the Fresh & Easy brand, but part of that is a loan which may be paid back.
Also, if Yucaipa is sucessful and the business becomes profitable, Tesco has the option to buy a stake.
Yucaipa is a Los Angeles based private equity company focused on supermaket and restaurant businesses and is run by billionaire investor Ron Burkle.
In April of this year, Tesco reported its first fall in annual profits for 20 years.

Summary:


The chief constable of Humberside Police has written to schools asking for the children of officers to be given holiday leave during term time.

Article: Officers will be able to take swabs from drivers' mouths to test for any of eight prescription or eight illegal drugs after a change in regulations.
The new rules run alongside the existing law where it is an offence to drive when impaired by any drug.
Drivers face prosecution if they exceed limits set for the tests.
The existing penalties mean drug drivers already face a fine up to Â£5,000, up to six months in prison and a minimum one-year driving ban.
Those using prescription drugs within recommended amounts will not be penalised.
The All Wales Summer Anti-Drink and Drug Drive Campaign begins on Monday and runs for a month.
North Wales Police is leading the new campaign.
Sgt Alun Davies said: "This summer will be the first campaign with the new drug testing kits to help detect cannabis and cocaine as well as standard kits for alcohol testing, so we are better equipped than ever to detect and penalise those who take this very dangerous risk."
New legislation came into force in March 2015 which measures how much of a substance - both illegal drugs and prescription medications - motorists have in their system while driving.
In north Wales, police have conducted their own drugs tests with 18 out of 61 proving positive between March and May.
During last summer's drink-drive campaign across Wales, 15,485 breath tests were carried out with 358 being positive.

Summary: Motorists will be tested for cannabis and cocaine for the first time during an anti-drink and drugs campaign by the four Welsh police forces.

Article: Researchers from Abo Academy University in Finland say that violence in early human communities was driven by personal conflicts rather than large-scale battles.
They say their findings suggest that war is not an innate part of human nature, but rather a behaviour that we have adopted more recently.
The study is published in the journal Science.
Patrik Soderberg, an author of the study, said: "This research questions the idea that war was ever-present in our ancestral past. It paints another picture where the quarrels and aggression were primarily about interpersonal motives instead of groups fighting against each other."
Motives for murder
The research team based their findings on isolated tribes from around the world that had been studied over the last century.
Cut off from modern life and surviving off wild plants and animals, these groups live like the hunter gatherers of thousands of years ago.
"They are the kind of societies that don't really rely on agriculture or domestic animals - they are primitive societies," explained Mr Soderberg.
"About 12,000 years ago, we assume all humans were living in this kind of society, and that these kind of societies made up about for about 90% of our evolutionary path."
Using the modern tribes as an analogy for earlier society, the researchers looked at cases where violent deaths had been documented.
They found 148 such deaths but very few were caused by war.
"Most of these incidents of lethal aggression were what we call homicides, a few were feuds and only the minority could be labelled as war," Mr Soderberg said.
"Over half the events were perpetrated by lone individuals and in 85% of the cases, the victims were members of the same society."
Most of the killings were driven by personal motives, he added, such as family feuds or adultery.
The researchers admitted that modern communities were not a perfect model for ancient societies, but said the similarities were significant and did provide an insight into our past.
Mr Soderberg said: "It questions the idea that...

Summary: Primitive society was not driven by war, scientists believe.

Article: Richard, who works for a TV production company in Toronto, was attending a key meeting to discuss future projects. And the hippo was dominating proceedings far too much.
Thankfully for the firm's health and safety considerations, there wasn't actually a large semi-aquatic mammal in the room with them.
Instead this "hippo" was an acronym for "the highest paid person's opinion", and the other attendees were too scared to question its wisdom.
"I can recall meetings where people are brainstorming, throwing around ideas, and ultimately going with what the boss came up with on a whim," says Richard, 34, who did not want us to use his surname.
"You kind of see all the subordinates in the room glancing at each other defeated, [their faces] saying, 'are we really going ahead with this?'"
Most of us have had to work for an overly dominating hippo at some time in our careers - a boss who staff feel unable to criticise, or whose every idea employees feel they have to praise.
But how often is the unchallenged boss's decision correct? Far from all the time if a study by the Rotterdam School of Management is to be believed.
The report found that projects led by junior managers were more likely to be successful than those that had a senior boss in charge, because other employees felt far more able to voice their opinions and give critical feedback.
Balazs Szatmari, the lead author of the study, says: "The surprising thing in our findings is that high-status project leaders fail more often.
"I believe that this happens not despite the unconditional support they get, but actually because of it."
Mr Szatmari, who looked at 349 projects in the video games industry dating back to 1972, says that staff were likely to fear "the possible consequences of criticising the work of high-status employees".
Short of senior bosses not allowing themselves to do much at work, what is the solution?
Sarah Biggerstaff, a lecturer in leadership at Yale School of Management in Connecticut, says that companies simply have to work hard to allow...

Summary: As Richard sat in an important meeting at work, he and his colleagues nervously considered the hippo in the room.

Article: Public support for extending the vaccine grew after the mother of two-year-old Faye Burdett shared pictures of her dying from the infection.
The jab is offered to children in their first year of life.
But more than 800,000 people signed a petition for it to be given to all children under 11.
Faye, from Maidstone, died on Valentine's Day after fighting the infection for 11 days. Her mother Jenny said the family had endured "a pain you cannot describe".
And soon after ex-England rugby captain Matt Dawson talked about how his two-year-old son Sam survived meningitis W after "two weeks of hell".
In response to the most popular petition in parliamentary history, the Department of Health said it was following the expert advice of its Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
It said: "With this programme, our priority is to protect those children most at risk of Men B, in line with JCVI's recommendation.
"The NHS budget is a finite resource, it is therefore essential that JCVI's recommendations are underpinned by evidence of cost-effectiveness.
"Offering the vaccine outside of JCVI's advice would not be cost effective, and would not therefore represent a good use of NHS resources which should be used to benefit the health and care of the most people possible."
It added: "When any new immunisation programme is introduced, there has to be a cut-off date to determine eligibility.
"While this is extremely difficult for parents whose children aren't eligible, there is no other way of establishing new programmes to target those at highest risk without introducing inequalities."
The UK is the only country in the world to offer the vaccine routinely to children of any age.
It is offered only in the first year of life when infants are most vulnerable to the infection.
The issue is still scheduled to be debated in the House of Commons.
Lee Booth, who set up the petition, said: "It's very disappointing that that's the initial sort of reaction to the campaign.
"Y'know there's 817-thousand people that have...

Summary: Offering the meningitis B vaccine to all children is "not cost effective" and would be a waste of NHS money, the UK government says.

Article: Justine Curran said the force had to restrict leave during summer and Christmas for operational reasons.
Head teachers in England can only grant absence during school time in "exceptional circumstances".
Ms Curran has asked head teachers to use their discretion to "fully consider" holiday requests.
In her letter, Ms Curran wrote: "I fully support the notion that every child needs to attend school regularly and absences should be minimised wherever possible."
She said that over the summer Humberside officers would be helping to police the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the Nato Summit in south Wales.
Paul Yeomans chairman of the Humberside Police Federation, which represents junior officers, said his members supported the chief constable's call.
"They're not able to take their leave during the peak times and it is not their fault," he said.
If parents in England and Wales fail to ensure their children attend school, they may be issued with penalty notices of £50 to £100. Prosecution can result in a fine of up to £2,500, a jail sentence of up to three months or a community sentence.
In a letter to Sir Hugh Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, the Education Secretary Michael Gove said the Department for Education guidance to head teachers "does not specify what constitutes exceptional circumstances".
He added: "Neither have we said that leave of absence can or cannot be granted to families of certain occupations."
John Killeen, head of South Cave Primary School and local representative of the National Association of Head Teachers union, said there was "inflexibility in a lot of professions".
"We have sympathy with the police service but it would make the head teacher's position untenable with the rest if the parent body if they started making exceptions."
