    Council orders couple to leave 'mud hut' home they built, Devon, UK - 18 Dec 2017
    Kate and Alan Burrows are appealing against a council Enforcement Notice ordering them to move out of their handbuilt roundhouse in the woods in North Devon. The couple, who earn their living off the land they own, are being forced to move out and take down their home. The couple are going to be delivering a petition into North Devon District council in the New Year, which has over 52,000 signatures. However, they are facing opposition to even handing in their petition on the grounds that the council do not accept petitions against plamnning issues. The couple have been offered a room in a Premier Inn, which the couple find ludicrous considering the amount of homelessness in the north Devon County. The couple built their home because Kate suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and claims she's allergic to mains water, electricity and wi-fi

    They show five cubs being led down to the water, before being given a masterclass in leaping the obstacle by the females.

    Auditions for job as 'Parrot in Residence' at Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel, Berkshire, Britain - 12 Mar 2014
    Parrots are seen showing off their skills during auditions for a job as 'Parrot in Residence' at the Legoland Windsor Resort Hotel.

    Four parrots were interviewed and asked to demonstrate skills such as making pirate noises, riding a scooter, playing with Lego and helping with room keys at reception.

    To celebrate the launch of its new Pirate Shores area, the Legoland Windsor Resort called on parrot owners around the UK to nominate their plumed pets for the role.

    Up for grabs was a vacant perch at the Resort's unique themed hotel where the winning bird will meet and greet guests during the Easter holidays, when Pirate Shores officially opens.

    And it would appear that search is now over after the job was given to 32-year-old blue and gold macaw Charlie, who impressed judges with her impressive reception desk skills.

    Charlie's owner Peter Bloom, 55, from Pickering, North Yorkshire, has had the bird for 30 years since he bought her in Scotland where she was hatched.

    Legoland spokeswoman Lauren Moss said: "We were very impressed by all our candidates. In fact, they were all so gifted, picking the perfect parrot for the post was incredibly tough. The resort and this hotel is all about colour, fun, surprises and, of course, making children smile, which any one of these birds could do.

    "But Charlie just had that extra touch of piratey mischief and we think she will fit right in when she takes up her special Lego parrot perch next month. She'll meet and greet guests here in our reception area and we know they will love her."

    Baby Pele-phant Demonstrates His Ball Skills
    This cute baby elephant shows off his skills as he gives a first class demonstration in ball control under the watchful gaze of his proud mum.

    The Asian elephant, called Luk Chai, seemingly smiles as he contentedly chases the massive football around his paddock.

    Luk, which means son, raced after the ball after his mum Porntip kicked it for him to retrieve.

    Luk, who was the first Asian elephant to be born in Australia, then fell in a heap on top of the ball before knocking it back to his mum for another round of kick about.

    The photos were taken by amateur photographer Renee Doyle while on a family visit to Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

    The 46-year-old from Queensland, said: "Luk is so full of personality and wonderfully playful that I could just stand and watch him all day.

    "He loves to chase after his football. Sometimes it is the keepers that roll the ball toward him and sometimes it's one of the adult elephants that kicks the ball for him to go chase after.

    "In these photos it was his mum. He will even swim in the small pool pushing his ball around if it happens to roll in there. There's no set routine - it's just playtime.

    "The keepers do an absolutely amazing job and interact with all the elephants on a daily basis.

    "There are no goals in the yard and the ball just goes wherever it goes but there will be no doubt that Luk will be chasing it.

    "All the elephants get stimulated with different toys and perform amazing balancing acts but they all enjoy it immensely. To me it always look like they are smiling.

    "It seemed as if Luk Chai never stood still but ran around playing and just loving all the attention he was getting.

    "He loves to chase after his football. Sometimes it is the keepers that roll the ball toward him and sometimes it's one of the adult elephants that kicks the ball for him to go chase after.

    "In these photos it was his mum. He will even swim in the small pool pushing his ball around if it happens to roll in there. There's no set routine - it's just playtime.

    "The keepers do an absolutely amazing job and interact with all the elephants on a daily basis.

    "There are no goals in the yard and the ball just goes wherever it goes but there will be no doubt that Luk will be chasing it.

    "All the elephants get stimulated with different toys and perform amazing balancing acts but they all enjoy it immensely. To me it always look like they are smiling.

    "It seemed as if Luk Chai never stood still but ran around playing and just loving all the attention he was getting.

    Baby Pele-phant Demonstrates His Ball Skills
    This cute baby elephant shows off his skills as he gives a first class demonstration in ball control under the watchful gaze of his proud mum.

    The Asian elephant, called Luk Chai, seemingly smiles as he contentedly chases the massive football around his paddock.

    Luk, which means son, raced after the ball after his mum Porntip kicked it for him to retrieve.

    Luk, who was the first Asian elephant to be born in Australia, then fell in a heap on top of the ball before knocking it back to his mum for another round of kick about.

    The photos were taken by amateur photographer Renee Doyle while on a family visit to Taronga Zoo in Sydney.

    The Ritmo pregnancy sound system - an MP3 player for unborn babies, South Carolina, America - 20 Jan 2010
    MP3 PLAYER FOR UNBORN BABIES

    A new speaker system can deliver soothing music straight to the tender ears of the most delicate of listeners - unborn babies.

    The Ritmo pregnancy sound system wraps around an expectant mother's tummy and plays music into the womb through four speakers.

    Its designers say unborn babies show signs of 'reactive listening' from just 17 weeks into a pregnancy.

    And they claim that playing music to a foetus can provide the 'building blocks' for future musical ability and intellectual development.

    The new device, which connects to an mp3 player, is said to allow mums and babies to share 'the sensory and emotional experience of bonding through sound and music.'

    The Ritmo system was invented by dad of two Oren Oz after his wife struggled to play music to her unborn child during her second pregnancy.

    The 34-year-old said: "Ritmo was born out of my frustration at seeing my wife struggle to find a comfortable position that also allowed the speakers to stay still.

    "It was impossible for her to be mobile while having the maximum flexibility to choose her own sound.

    "None of the existing solutions on the market place seemed suitable in their design, technology and functionality.

    "Ritmo was created to deliver sound safely in utero, taking into account the unique acoustic environment of the womb."

    Mr Oz said he and his team of full-time parents at Nuvo Group researched the benefits of music for foetuses and the acoustic environment of a uterus.

    They designed their product with both the foetus and the comfort of the mother in mind.

    The speakers are embedded in a stretchy, fabric pad which fits around the tummy and can be easily hidden beneath clothin...

    ANTI-GRAVITY SUITS PREVENT AMERICAN FIGHTER PILOTS FROM "BLACKING OUT"

    American fighter pilots are using anti-gravity suits to prevent "blacking-out" when their aircraft pull out of steep dives. Fitting tightly at the calves of the legs, thighs and abdomen, the suit is fitted with an automatic valve operating from the aircrafts exhaust, exerting pressure on the lower half of the body and preventing blood from draining from the brain during a dive.

    Photo Shows: Captain Charles D Nethaway, of Handley, Texas, blows into the automatic valve of the anti-gravity suit, to demonstrate the principle on which it operates. In combat the valve is attached to the exhaust system of the aircrafts engine, and works automatically.
