Jan. 1, 1965 - Athens, Greece - Vibrant, intensely free-spirited Greek actress MELINA MERCOURI (October 18, 1920-March 6, 1994) was the daughter of a prominent Athenian politician. Much against the desires of her parents, she became an actress in her teens, enrolling in the National Theater of Greece and entering films in 1955. In 1960 she gained international stardom (and a shelf full of industry awards) for her portrayal of a vivacious Piraeus prostitute in 'Never on Sunday'.

7-year-old 'Mini Monet' Keiron Williamson takes art world by storm, Norfolk, Britain - 01 Aug 2010

'Mini Monet' Takes Art World By Storm
A seven-year-old 'mini Monet' has taken the art world by storm - selling his latest collection of paintings for GBP 150,000 in just 30 minutes.
The sale of schoolboy Kieron Williamson's work attracted buyers and bids from all over the world, including New York and South Africa.
Some fans even went to the extreme of camping outside the gallery in the art prodigy's home town of Holt, Norfolk, where his work was to be exhibited.
The paintings in Kieron's latest collection, which is his third, featured local Norfolk landscapes and coastal scenes.
It also included views of City Temple in Holborn, Central London, and even a painting of Hong Kong.
Kieron comments: "I like landscapes as they've got the big Norfolk skies in them and not too many hills or mountains".
One of the biggest sellers at the sale was a 20in by 30in oil painting called 'Sunrise at Morston', which went for GBP 7,995.
Meanwhile, a 19in by 25in pastel called 'Marsh at Sunset' fetched GBP 6,750.
Even the cheapest art work sold for GBP 1,825.
Kieron paints up to six paintings a week and there currently around 700 people on a waiting list for an original.
The youngster first started painting two years ago after he was inspired by boats in dock during a family holiday to Cornwall.
His work first came on the market last summer when 19 of his paintings were sold for GBP 14,000 in a sealed-bid auction.
At his second exhibition in November 2009 another 16 of his works were sold for GBP 17,000 in just 14 minutes.
Gallery owner Adrian Hill said: "Kieron has probably become one of the most collectable artists worldwide".
Kieron's parents plan to buy him a house with his earnings and invest the rest for him until he is 25.

NOSY PENGUINS ARE THE PERFECT POSERS
An inquisitive Emperor penguin looks through the viewfinder of a camera in Antarctica as two others appear to pose for a photograph in front of the lens.
Shocked photographer David Schultz, 53, snapped the cute trio exploring his camera and tripod when he left them on the snow and ice.
The fascinated penguins approached David each day as he hiked two kilometres from a helicopter base camp to the main Emperor rookery in the Weddell Sea.
The fluffy chicks, who were just a few months old, were also encouraged by their parents to approach and have a look around.
David snapped away from his camera on a tripod but backed away and continued taking photos with a second camera as the penguins moved towards him.
He was amazed when two of the penguins appeared to pose for a playful shot in the pristine white landscape while a third framed them from behind the lens.
David said: "The penguins were humbling, hilarious, extremely curious and wonderfully photogenic.
"While hiking from the helicopter base camp to the main Emperor penguin rookery it quickly became obvious the penguins were as interested in us as we were in them.
"The chicks, now several months old, would cluster together and if you lay on the ice and waited they would eventually come right up to you.
"In fact, at times it seemed the adults were giving them encouragement to investigate, and occasionally even a little nudge in my direction.
"Late one afternoon, the fifth day on the ice, I had watched as a few adults started walking my way.
"I had one camera set up on the tripod with another around my neck and I knew I might have the chance of capturing some intera...

Prince William proved that his relationship with Kate Middleton is very much back on when the couple were spotted getting cosy on a bird shoot.
The 25-year-old royal hugged and kissed on a Christmas shoot in Windsor Great Park on Tuesday (18 Dec).
The pair were dressed in traditional green tweeds, with Kate, 25, in a fetching brown fur hat to protect against the cold.
Both smiling broadly they both helped to gather up the pheasants they had bagged, and at one point the prince walked over to Kate and gently stroked her neck.
The day out was William's Christmas gift from his grandmother The Queen.

GIDDY GORILLAS GET DRUNK ON BAMBOO
Wildlife photographer Andy Rouse had a close encounter with a family of mountain gorillas - and discovered them DRUNK.
The tipsy beasts had been slurping alcoholic sap from fresh bamboo shoots and looked completely bewildered by booze.
The family were pictured in Virunga Mountains of Rwanda, Africa.
'It was not exactly Gorillas In The Mist, more like gorillas who were p*****,' said Rouse, 43, who was on his fourth trip to see the primates.
'I had heard they sometimes get like this, but I had never actually seen it. It was just like any family party when one or two members have a little bit too much to drink.
'The boss of the group, a huge silverback called Kwitonda, and some of the younger males were completely out of it.
'Some were running round cackling to each other, others were going mad swinging through the trees, some were just lying on the ground in an inebriated state.
'We came across a young male blackback (approx 10 years old, a silverback-in-training) who was feeling very sorry for himself.
'When we reached him the poor thing was laying flat on the ground with chewed bamboo all around and looked at us through very dopey eyes. He tried to get up to see us and fell straight back, god it was so funny. He then rolled on the ground, playing with his feet and looking not quite in control, his expression was priceless.
'Over the course of the hour we were treated to a lot more high jinx, most of which I have never witnessed before on any of my treks - and I am very experienced.
'They were running around the forest chasing each other, then taking turns to get chased. The really young ones, who were really affected, t...

Paris Hilton leaving for America at Heathrow Airport, London, Britain - 08 Aug 2008
PRESIDENT PARIS THINKS GREEN
While leaving Heathrow airport on the way back to America Paris Hilton sent a campaign message with her t-shirt.
After US presidential hopeful John McCain used the socialite and part time movie star in an advert attacking Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, Paris responded with a surprisingly coherent 'green' policy statement of her own.
In the McCain advert the Republican likens Barack Obama's popularity with that of Ms Hilton and claims the Democrat is no more than a celebrity candidate who is not ready to lead the nation.
Hitting back at the controversial advert Paris then released a mocking campaign ad of her own; wearing only a skimpy leopard-print bathing costume, the 27-year-old posed for the ad reclining on a sun lounge beside a swimming pool.
"Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton and I'm a celebrity too," she says. "Only I'm not from the olden days and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot.
"But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president".
However, what has actually got everyone talking is the energy plan she then goes on to detail - a plan that is actually being viewed by some as a good idea.
"Barack wants to focus on new technologies to cut foreign oil dependency and McCain wants offshore drilling," she says. "Well why don't we do a hybrid of both candidates ideas. We can do limited offshore drilling, with strict environmental oversight, while using tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way the offshore drilling carries us until the new ...

REPORTAGE - Zum grossen Problem gewachsen: Heroinsucht in Ohio
Heroin In The Heartland
As heroin addiction rises across the U.S., Ohio has become an epicenter of the crisis, with the corridor between Cincinnati and Dayton hit especially hard. According to there CDC, nearly 1,000 people in Ohio alone died from overdosing on heroin in 2013, it was a 41 percent increase from the prior year, and there are few signs the crisis is slowing. People of all races and classes are turning to the highly addictive drug, which has replaced painkillers as the drug of choice. It is cheaper and easier to buy; in some areas, residents say their neighbors deal it out of their windows. Addicts are all races and classes but the most visible are young white women, partly because they often become street prostitutes to support their illness. But incredibly sad and dark stories are found across Hamilton and Butler counties, the district of former House Speaker John Boehner: couples giving up their babies to stay high, young women and grandmothers who prostitute themselves dozens of times a day to make money to buy hits. Seeing the devastation, some local churches have jumped in to offer a haven for desperate addicts in some of the most violent neighborhoods of America.
Pastor BILLY PRICE attempts to cast Satan out of CHASITY HOLT, 36, a heroin addict who showed up at his church that night saying that she had overdosed only the day before. As a heroin epidemic spreads in Ohio, many addicts are desperate for help and turning to religion as a last resort after failing to find rehab programs.'I've died a couple of times... to us it's just normal,'' said Chasity, a mother of five. Price has devoted his ministry, City on a Hill church, to helping heroin addicts in the Cincinnati, area, where heroin use is rampant, part of a growing epidemic across the U.S.

SHERRY SAMS, 41, a heroin addict who has lost four children to the social service system, sits at her favorite spot, a vacant building along State Street and Dutton Avenue, where she works as a prostitute for drug money. The spot is in the crime infected Lower Price Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, an epicenter of a growing heroin crisis across the U.S. Sams says she has tried several drug rehab programs, but has been unable to succeed. She says part of the problem is that heroin withdrawal is extremely painful, and so the drug becomes like a medication.

As heroin addiction rises across the U.S., Ohio has become an epicenter of the crisis, with the corridor between Cincinnati and Dayton hit especially hard. According to there CDC, nearly 1,000 people in Ohio alone died from overdosing on heroin in 2013, it was a 41 percent increase from the prior year, and there are few signs the crisis is slowing. People of all races and classes are turning to the highly addictive drug, which has replaced painkillers as the drug of choice. It is cheaper and easier to buy; in some areas, residents say their neighbors deal it out of their windows. Addicts are all races and classes but the most visible are young white women, partly because they often become street prostitutes to support their illness.

SALEHA YOUNG, a heroin addict, is trying her best to be some sort of example to her daughter SAMANTHA, 12, who knows of her mother's struggles. Saleha's way of keeping her addiction at bay is to limit the drug each day, which she snorts, rather than injects, which she says produces a milder high. She says Samantha's father introduced her to heroin at the age of 17. After 13 years in a downward spiral of violence, they divorced and now she lives with her mother in the East Side of Hamilton, an epicenter of the national heroin epidemic.
