Four-year-old Harley Lane, who lost all four limbs to meningitis, Stockport, Greater Manchester, Britain - 28 Sep 2010

Top Of The Class For Brave Meningitis Boy
A little boy who lost all four limbs to meningitis is celebrating after enjoying his first days at school.
Four-year-old Harley Lane's arms and legs had to be amputated after he was struck down by the deadly disease last year.
The dramatic battle almost saw the youngster lose his life but he survived against all of the odds.
Now the youngster is settling in at Hazel Grove Primary school in Stockport.
Harley's dad Adam comments: "He's the most popular kid at school. All the kids think they are his best friend. They are great and ask lots of questions.
"At first it was a bit overwhelming for him but he's settled straight in. He comes in every day telling us he's done this or that. He loves everything about it because it's new to him."
Staff help Harley move around school using his specially-made prosthetic arms and legs and wheelchair.
The school has also had a hygiene room fitted to help Harley stay infection-free and he is helped by a full-time teaching assistant.
Headteacher Jean Burston said: "Harley is settling in really well - he's got many friends. Our motto is 'Give it all you've got' and that's what he does."
Little Harley first fell ill in May last year, cheating death three times.
However, when septicaemia set in doctors made the decision to amputate his arms and legs.
He then faced a long, slow battle back to health at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
Meanwhile, an appeal saw an incredible GBP 565,000 raised by the public and at Christmas last year Harley, dad Adam, mum Sam and brother Tyler, 2, moved into a specially-adapted house.
Then this summer he was ring-bearer at his parents' wedding, which was postponed when he fell ill.
Harley's latest challenge is learning to cope with his prosthetic limbs.

'World's greatest cheeseboard' at the Great British Cheese Festival, Cardiff, Wales - 24 Sep 2010
There was some cheesy goings on in Cardiff this weekend as the annual Great British Cheese Festival descended on the town. The event, which is now in its third year, attracted around 8,000 people. One of the attractions on offer was the World's Greatest Cheeseboard, which featured over 150 different British cheeses. The cheese fest was created to show the variety and quality of British cheese in response to new research that revealed the UK public's lack of knowledge about the cheese made on its doorstep.

Four-year-old black and white twins Marcia and Millie Biggs enjoy their first day at school, Birmingham, West Midlands, Britain - 12 Sep 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by NTI Media Ltd / Rex Features ( 1225988q )
'Miracle' Black And White Twins Start School
They may be wearing matching uniforms but their new teachers have no problem telling twins Marcia and Millie Biggs apart.
For blue-eyed Marcia has her mum's fair complexion and golden brown hair, while Millie, with her tight curls and darker skin, takes after dad Michael, who is of Jamaican origin.
Four years ago the girls astounded doctors when they were born and according to mother Amanda, 42, people still can't believe the pair are twin sisters.
The girls are now enjoying their first days at school, attending Osborne Junior and Infant School in Erdington, Birmingham.
Amanda comments: "When they were growing up Millie was more timid and clingy and if anyone came to say hello she would take a while to say anything, but over the last couple of years she has come out of her shell a bit.
"Marcia is a bit bossier and is a bit more outgoing - she's a cheeky little monkey.
"Everybody is always amazed by how beautiful they have both become, and people still just can't believe they're related, let alone sisters.
"I still get the same puzzled looks and questions just like I did three years ago.
"Even teachers at nursery refused to believe they were sisters.
"A couple could of the staff could see they were related, but some just wouldn't have it - but I've become used to that after four years".
Amanda and Michael had been together 10 years when they conceived the girls through IVF treatment.
Now that they have reached their school milestone the proud mum comments:
"Most parents say they can't wait for their kids to go to school, and even though I was really proud of them, I couldn't stop crying because I had spent so much time with them both.
"I've devoted my whole life to looking after them and I've treasured seeing them grow up.

Amanda comments: "When they were growing up Millie was more timid and clingy and if anyone came to say hello she would take a while to say anything, but over the last couple of years she has come out of her shell a bit.
"Marcia is a bit bossier and is a bit more outgoing - she's a cheeky little monkey.
"Everybody is always amazed by how beautiful they have both become, and people still just can't believe they're related, let alone sisters.
"I still get the same puzzled looks and questions just like I did three years ago.
"Even teachers at nursery refused to believe they were sisters.
"A couple could of the staff could see they were related, but some just wouldn't have it - but I've become used to that after four years".
Amanda and Michael had been together 10 years when they conceived the girls through IVF treatment.
Now that they have reached their school milestone the proud mum comments:
"Most parents say they can't wait for their kids to go to school, and even though I was really proud of them, I couldn't stop crying because I had spent so much time with them both.
"I've devoted my whole life to looking after them and I've treasured seeing them grow up.

Four-year-old boy gets scissors impaled in face after fall, Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, China - 21 Mar 2010
SCISSORS IMPALE FOUR-YEAR-OLD'S FACE
A four-year-old boy is smiling again after suffering an horrific accident that saw him fall face first onto a pair of scissors.
Xiao Yu was helping his parents to paste spring festival scrolls onto the door of their home in Qinglong town, Qinghuangdao, when the accident occurred.
He became impaled on the scissors they were using when he tripped and landed on top of them.
The sharp implement pierced 7cm into his face, entering just left of his nose.
He was rushed to the local hospital but they were unable to handle such a severe injury.
So, little Yu was then transferred to multiple different hospitals until, 10 hours later, he was finally admitted to Xiehe hospital in Beijing.
Scans and x-rays revealed that the blades had become lodged in his upper jaw and were pointing to the inside of the skull at a very dangerous angle.
Doctors decided to remove the scissors surgically and, after much discussion, Director Zhao Jizhi came up with a plan of action with other experts.
During a three hour surgery they cut an opening inside Yu's mouth to make the blades visible before surgically removing the scissors and then sewing up the wounds.
Just eight days after the operation Yu is once again smiling after suffering no facial nerve damage.
And with just a scar to show for his ordeal, Yu has apparently bounced back from the horrible accident, forgetting the pain and already racing round the hospital ward.

Four-year-old identical twins Megan and Gracie Garwood who are both fighting cancer, High Rougham, Suffolk, Britain - 21 Jan 2010
FOUR-YEAR-OLD TWIN SISTERS BATTLE CANCER TOGETHER
A family have spoken of their heartache after their four-year-old, identical twin daughters were diagnosed with cancer within days of each other.
Emma Garwood has described the "living nightmare" of discovering that both her daughters Megan and Gracie have leukaemia.
The brave twins were diagnosed within a week of each other and have been receiving treatment for the past five months.
It was younger twin Megan who was diagnosed first, with Gracie, who is older by two minutes, following shortly afterwards.
It was last August when Megan first became unwell and her GP immediately referred her to hospital.
Here she was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia before being rushed to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge; she began chemotherapy that very night.
Emma said: "It all seems like a dream sequence. I still just assumed she had a bug. You never think anything this bad could happen to you.
"But suddenly a doctor says your daughter has cancer and moments later we are being rushed to Addenbrooke's in an ambulance with all the blue lights flashing. And then at midnight you watch your daughter begin an intense course of chemotherapy".
The only comfort for Emma, 38, and her husband Mark, 35, who also have a younger daughter, was the reassurance that the chances of Gracie having the same disease were remote.
Tragically however, just days later she fell unwell and her worried parents brought her to Addenbroke's to be checked over.
Mrs Garwood said: "She thought she was only there to visit her sister, but they took one look at her and before we knew it she was moved into the bed next to Megan for treatment.

Four-year-old identical twins Megan and Gracie Garwood who are both fighting cancer, High Rougham, Suffolk, Britain - 21 Jan 2010
FOUR-YEAR-OLD TWIN SISTERS BATTLE CANCER TOGETHER
A family have spoken of their heartache after their four-year-old, identical twin daughters were diagnosed with cancer within days of each other.
Emma Garwood has described the "living nightmare" of discovering that both her daughters Megan and Gracie have leukaemia.
The brave twins were diagnosed within a week of each other and have been receiving treatment for the past five months.
It was younger twin Megan who was diagnosed first, with Gracie, who is older by two minutes, following shortly afterwards.
It was last August when Megan first became unwell and her GP immediately referred her to hospital.
Here she was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia before being rushed to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge; she began chemotherapy that very night.
Emma said: "It all seems like a dream sequence. I still just assumed she had a bug. You never think anything this bad could happen to you.
"But suddenly a doctor says your daughter has cancer and moments later we are being rushed to Addenbrooke's in an ambulance with all the blue lights flashing. And then at midnight you watch your daughter begin an intense course of chemotherapy".
The only comfort for Emma, 38, and her husband Mark, 35, who also have a younger daughter, was the reassurance that the chances of Gracie having the same disease were remote.
Tragically however, just days later she fell unwell and her worried parents brought her to Addenbroke's to be checked over.
Mrs Garwood said: "She thought she was only there to visit her sister, but they took one look at her and before we knew it she was moved into the bed next to Megan for treatment.
