Rather than burning her bra, an entrepreneur fed up with 'sexualised' underwear in stores was inspired to design her own range that suited her feminist ideals. Hayat Rachi used her life's savings to found British lingerie brand Neon Moon to provide stylish underwear for women of all shapes and sizes. The first collection, called Mon Dieu offers simple, sporty-looking sets which are free from cleavage-boosting padding or wiring. Designer Hayat Rachi raised money on a fundraising website to start her own feminist lingerie line (modelled here by two real women) In her images, Rachi was determined to use real women, posing naturally and not catering to the male gaze . The lingerie - which comes in chartreuse, orange and black - is made from sustainable bamboo fabric rather than lace and satin because it moulds to the wearer’s body, and has antibacterial properties. On her fundraising Kickstarter page Rachi wrote: ‘Not everything is about being sexy or being objectified for the male gaze.' Explaining why she felt driven to design the line, she said: ‘I found it difficult to find a lingerie brand that shared the same ethos as myself: empowerment, body confidence and the non-objectification of women.’ ‘So instead of succumbing to the body-shaming, sexualised and objectifying lingerie on the market, I used my frustration to start my own brand, Neon Moon, with the support of The Prince’s Trust.’ After being accepted on to the charity's year-long enterprise program, Rachi received mentorship and professional advice for free to develop her product. In the brand's promotional imagery, the two models certainly seem empowered lounging around the house in Neon Moon underwear. The underwear sets aren't underwired or padded and are made with anti-bacterial, soft bamboo fibre . The women look smiling and healthy and sport natural bodies, rather than catwalk models' ultra-slimline shape. Rachi named each of the underwear styles with 'Francophile sounding words, calling them: Coucou, Bof, Tac-Tac and Non!. She said: 'They are really vibrant and fun words to pronounce, which works well with the vibrant colours of the bras and knickers.' The entrepreneur launched a Kickstarter campaign for Neon Moon, which ends on 10 April, and has already exceeded the original £5,000 target, with 165 backers. Rachi explains the brand's story in the accompanying video with lingering detail shots panning over her creations, a behind-the-scenes look at the promotional shoot, and girls pledging their support to her campaign. She said: ‘I am absolutely elated with the result. I genuinely couldn’t fathom reaching the £5,000 goal with 18 days left!’ Rachi wanted to design lingerie that wasn't about objectifying women . ‘I have been so blessed by the support received from women, men, transgender and non-binary people’s generosity!’ ‘The amount of press created, and also Zooey Deschanel sharing an article on Neon Moon on her facebook (to close to six million followers) added to such a viral buzz about Neon Moon’s Kickstarter. ‘All extra money funded beyond £5,000 will go into producing more lingerie for the “Mon Dieu” collection in order to sell directly online.' She added that there's a

Summary: Hayat Rachi, 25, founded ‘unapologetic feminist’ lingerie brand Neon Moon . First collection 'Mon Dieu' offers comfortable styles without padding . For women of all sizes and body types as well as those who like body hair . The New Girl actress Zooey Deschanel endorsed the designs .


Singapore remains the world’s most expensive city to live with sky-high prices for clothes, cars and public transport, according to an annual survey which ranks the largest cities on the planet. It was followed by Paris, Oslo, Zurich and Sydney in The Economist Intelligence Unit’s worldwide cost of living survey. London, in 11th place, is now as pricy as Tokyo, which was the world’s most expensive city until it was unseated by Singapore last year, while New York ranked as the most expensive American city in 22nd spot. Scroll down for video . The Economist Intelligence Unit has named Singapore as the world's most expensive city . Basic groceries in Singapore cost 11 per cent more than in New York, according to the annual study . Melbourne, Geneva, Copenhagen, Hong Kong and Seoul rounded out the top 10 in the study, which compared prices in more than 130 cities using New York as a base for comparison. The top five is unchanged from last year’s study, while European cities hold five spots in this year’s top 10. However, the unpegging of the Swiss franc from the euro means that Zurich and Geneva would rank first and second, respectively, at today’s exchange rates. London ranked eighth overall in Europe, while Manchester was 22nd. London ranked 11th in the study, which was based on prices for things such as transport, food and clothes . Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit . The report found that the gap is growing in Western Europe between top-ranked cities and those with struggling Eurozone economies. For example, Paris has a cost of living that is 26 per cent higher than in New York, but the cost of living in Lisbon and Athens is 26 per cent lower than that of the Big Apple, said the report. The chasm is even greater in Central and Eastern Europe. Kiev, for example, was dropped 38 places amid the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. Given the slide in the Russian rouble, Moscow and St Petersburg would rank in the bottom ten under current exchange rates. Ten years ago Sydney and Melbourne were both cheaper than New York, a long-term rise in the relative cost of living in Australia, driven by the strength of the country’s dollar, has pushed them up the list. Sydney (pictured) and Melbourne have climbed the list thanks to the strength of Australia's dollar . A stronger dollar and localised inflation means New York, which jumped four places, is getting even pricier . Asia has seen a marked increase in the cost of living in the last 12 months, although Japanese cities have dropped in the ranking thanks to deflation and a devaluation of the yen. Tokyo now sits in 11th place, tied with London. In America, a stronger dollar and localised inflation means New York, which jumped four places, is getting even pricier. According to the study, the cheapest cities are found in the Asian subcontinent, Northern Africa or South America, although some are experiencing significant political or economic problems, meaning there is an element of risk. The Economist

Summary: Singapore has sky-high prices for clothes, public transport and new cars . It was followed by Paris, Oslo, Zurich and Sydney in the study . London and Tokyo tied for 11th place, while New York ranked 22nd . Karachi, Pakistan and Bangalore, India named world's cheapest cities . Caracas fell 124 places given the state of Venezuela's shrinking economy .


This is the jaw-dropping moment a group of daredevils walk the tight roped hundreds of metres above the ground between colossal cliffs. On March 6, local and international members of the highlining community ascended Mount Victoria in the Blue Mountains, 80 km west of Sydney, for a weekend of death-defying walks at heights between 60 to 100 metres in the air. The past time involves fixing a one-inch thick rope between two mountains and walking in between them, sometimes with no safety equipment whatsoever. While most people are confident walking on a rope low to the ground, the mental hurdle of doing so from a heart-stopping height coupled with the environmental variables such as sudden gusts of wind makes it vastly more challenging. Tim Desmond walks a highline at Corroboree Walls in Mount Victoria, Blue Mountains, as part of a highlining meet-up on March 6 . Local and international members of the highlining community ascended on the National Park, 80 km west of Sydney, for a weekend of death-defying walks between the rock faces . Sydney-based electrician Luke Sarantos (pictured) said highlining was the opposite of thrill-seeking: ‘It’s actually very peaceful and soothing when you feel the wind on your face and feel yourself in free space' But Sydney based electrician Luke Sarantos, who took part in the event, told Daily Mail Australia highlining is the opposite of thrill-seeking. ‘It’s actually very peaceful and soothing when you feel the wind on your face and feel yourself in free space. In a way it’s like the opposite of thrillseeking.’ Sarantos said the gathering, which was organised on social media, drew in over 70 experienced and novice highliners from across Australia and the world. ‘It went off without a hitch. There were guys from all across Australia, and even some from France and Canada. You can tell the community is gaining traction,’ he said.

Kyle Beall, of the United States, takes a moment to reflect (left), while another daredevil uses an unorthodox method at Corroboree Walls . The meet-up saw seven highlines used ranging from 8 metres 95 metres in length, anchored at heights ranging from 60 metres to 100 metres in the air. But despite walking above what most would see as horrifying heights, Sarantos said it is an 'extremely safe sport.' ‘I won’t get on a skateboard or even play football because I find those are too dangerous. Every safety mechanism in highlining has a backup and you can’t physically fall on to anything off the line.’ Highlining is an extreme form of slackroping which sees participants walk between two anchor points set up with enormous elevation from the ground or water, sometimes with no safety equipment whatsoever . Despite walking above what most would see as horrifying heights, Sarantos said it is an 'extremely safe sport' The

Summary: On March 6, local and international members of the highlining community ascended on the Blue Mountains .

Workers at the U.S. government's Forest Service have been asked to use online tests to check whether they are secretly racist, or harboring other biases. The federal employees were asked to use work time to take tests, lasting some 15 minutes each, to see whether they have unconscious biases based on sexuality, nationalist, race and whether somebody is disabled. The practice was reported on by the Washington Times, which said the directive to take the Harvard quizzes came from Forest Management Director Bryan Rice. Test: Employees were asked to take assessments such as the above on race, where users alternate between sorting black and white people, then good and bad qualities. The speed with which they do it determined underlying bias, according to the study . He also reportedly asked bosses at other federal agencies to spread links to the Harvard tests, hosted at implicit.harvard.edu. Idea: Bryan Rice, pictured, sent the tests round to staff . The tests are a kind of word association game, which flashes up emotions or qualities such as 'happy', 'agony' and 'laughter', which users must sort into 'good' and 'bad' categories. These are then mixed with elements of the category being tested - for example the race test flashes up pictures of black and white faces. Participants complete several rounds of testing, first being instructed to associate all the 'good' words with one race, then the other. The more quickly and accurately they make each association - good or bad - the stronger their underlying bias is said to be. Rice asked his workers to take two tests each, and said they would be discussed in a later meeting. An unnamed congressional source suggested to the Washington Times that the tests are a waste of time, and the agency should focus on stopping forest fires. Defending himself, Rice said: 'The unconscious bias material can help us explore diversity and inclusion in the workplace. 'It was included in a discussion of diversity as part of a continuous series of collaborative discussions on a variety of topics we have on my staff that cover key Forest Service policies and values as a means of fostering continued awareness.' Federal agency: Rice urged leaders of departments other than his slice of the Forest Service to start using the tests .

Summary: Top manager of government service told workers to take Harvard tests . Word association exercise judges what people's biases could be . Bryan Rice, a director in federal agency, defended the practice .


Militants fighting for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq have issued a new set of rules jihadis must live by - including restrictions on when to utter curses and a ban on women slapping their thighs. A fighter calling himself Abu 'Umar al-Masri, who claims to be based in the terrorists' capital Raqqa, tweeted photographs of flyers containing fatwas imposed on local residents in recent weeks. Providing a unique glimpse in to life under ISIS' brutal and oppressive control, each of the 32 slips of paper - which are headed with the terror group's chilling black and white logo - gives a detailed explanation of various bizarre rules and regulations laid out by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Among the more unusual commands are orders that men must refrain from swearing while playing billiards or table football, and information on exactly when it is permitted for women dye their eyebrows blonde or carry assault rifles beneath their niqabs. Militants: A fighter calling himself Abu 'Umar al-Masri, who claims to be based in the terrorists' capital Raqqa (pictured), tweeted photographs of flyers containing fatwas imposed on local residents in recent weeks . Dictats: Each of the 32 slips of paper - which are headed with the terror group's chilling black and white logo - gives a detailed explanation of various bizarre rules and regulations laid out by ISIS . Each of the 32 paper fatwas seen in Abu 'Umar al-Masri's tweets last month are numbered and dated, and are written in Arabic. It is understood the 32 fatwas are taken from approximately 70 new rules and regulations issued by the Islamic State in 2015. The letters are written in Arabic and address the city's population, which terror analysis website Jihadica claims proves they are meant for local use, not wider propaganda purposes. The fatwas are unlikely to have been issued by any body other than ISIS' official Sharia Council, to whom even leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reports. Jihadica claims that this means 30-year-old Bahraini scholar and council leader Turki al-Bin'ali is the likely author. Abu 'Umar al-Masri's tweets show that the list of new rules have been issued in a kind of stapled book and are structured in a question and answer format. Although they pieces of paper are dated using an official Islamic State calender, Jihadica converted the dates to show that they were issued to citizens between December and February this year. Oppressed: Among the more unusual legal explantions is information on exactly when it is permitted for women living under ISIS to dye their eyebrows blonde or carry assault rifles beneath their niqabs . Horror: At times the fatwas make harrowing reading, such as the rule justifying jihadis burning 'unbelievers' to death because the Prophet Mohammed ordered his enemies' eyes to be gouged out with hot iron . The fatwas issued by the Islamic State are highly bureaucratic, demanding fighters hand over one fifth of all money and items looted to the terror group's officials, insisting fighters cannot leave territory under ISIS control under any circumstances, and banning women

Summary: Militants issue new set of rules for citizens of the Islamic State to live by . Terrorists make sick attempts to justify burning 'unbelievers' to death . Billiards and table football are permitted but only under strict conditions . Women are allowed to carry AK-47s but visiting a male doctor is banned . ISIS also claims that murdering people purely to harvest their organs is perfectly acceptable under Islamic law .


As the part-time players of managerless Alloa Athletic punched the air in celebration of their latest point against Rangers, the scale of the job facing Stuart McCall veered into sharp focus. Frankly, the new Ibrox boss faces the biggest uphill task since Sir Edmund Hillary conquered Everest if he is to succeed in getting this bunch of players back to the summit league of Scottish football. On a night when Alloa left their shock new signing — ex-Sunderland and Newcastle striker Michael Chopra — on the bench until the dying embers of the match, a glancing header by former Chelsea kid Ben Gordon opened the scoring and had Rangers on the back foot. Rangers' Lee Wallace and Alloa's Jonathan Tiffoney tussle for the ball during the match at Ibrox . Rangers forward Dean Shiels challenges Alloa's Kevin Crawley during the Scottish Championship game . Alloa's new signing, former Sunderland and Newcastle striker Michael Chopra, made his debut at Irbox . Two goals from Nicky Clark in five minutes looked like somehow securing a rare victory for a stodgy and lethargic Rangers but Liam Buchanan’s late leveller ensured deserved parity for the team from the Wee County. It was merely the latest sting from the Wasps, who have now drawn twice at Ibrox in the league this season, as well as holding Rangers at home in the Championship and knocking them out of the Petrofac Training Cup in Clackmannanshire. For Ibrox fans, the elation of Dave King’s boardroom coup has very much been replaced by the utter deflation that comes as standard when watching this side. Indeed, when McCall’s team travels to Easter Road on Sunday hoping to keep their play-off hopes alive, the second-most expensively assembled squad in the country can be said to pitch up in Leith in the grip of relegation-esque form. Over the course of the last nine games — a quarter of a league season — third-placed Rangers have dropped 19 points from an available 27. In context, they have picked up eight points, while second-bottom Alloa and rock-bottom Livingston — who drew at Ibrox on Saturday — both have amassed six over the same time period. Rangers' Nicky Law gives chase to Alloa's Mark Docherty during the Scottish Championship match at Ibrox . And, worryingly for McCall, not even five changes to his starting line-up could inject any badly-needed urgency into proceedings. There was a first-team recall for goalkeeper Cammy Bell, who was pulling on a Rangers jersey for the first time in seven months after recovering from a shoulder injury. That meant Lee Robinson was on the bench, with veteran keeper Steve Simonson dropping out of the squad altogether. Injuries meant Rangers were without defender Sebastian Faure and attacking midfielder Haris Vuckic, who has been one of the Ibrox club’s best players since arriving on loan from Newcastle United. Striker Kenny Miller dropped to the bench, while Kyle Hutton found himself left out of the squad completely. But the team news that stood out was Chopra, who took his place on the bench and would remain

Summary: Rangers were held to a draw by part-time players of Alloa Athletic at Ibrox . Ben Gordon gave Alloa the lead before Nicky Clark equalised . Clark then grabbed a second goal to put Rangers in front . However, Liam Buchanan managed to pull the visitors level late on . New Alloa signing Michael Chopra was only afforded a cameo appearance .

'This time we hope we can be the ones getting three points. We urgently need to reach our goal. 'Nothing's changed on that front. CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and the coaches issued a 40-point target and to avoid relegation. That's all that matters right now.'

David Moyes' Real Sociedad side saw off bottom club Cordoba 3-1 at the Anoeta Stadium on Sunday night, as the visitors had three men sent off in a fiery affair. Aleksandar Pantic was given his marching orders after just six minutes for the visitors, but this didn't stop Florin Adone from giving them a shock lead in the firs-half. Imanol Agierretxe equalised for Sociedad before the interval though and Chori Castro was able to make the most of the one-man advantage after the break to give the hosts a 2-1 lead. Inigo Lopez was then shown two yellow cards in quick succession, before substitute Alfred Finnbogason wrapped up the win with a late goal. Daniel Pinillos became the third Cordoba player to be sent off in injury time on a truly awful night for the club. More to follow later...

The financial rewards of Southampton’s continued academy excellence were blindingly obvious last summer, but Lille run the south coast club close in terms of money generated from their youth products. A study carried out by the CIES Football Observatory shows Lille have benefited hugely from the Premier League’s wealth over the last three years - with the country producing players worth more than any other on the continent. Only Southampton have been paid higher transfer fees for players brought through their youth system than the Ligue 1 side in that time throughout the whole of Europe. Southampton have taken more money for their youth stars than any other side in Europe since 2012 . Eden Hazard's move from Lille to Chelsea helped the French side rake in profits from their academy . Divock Origi (right) joined Liverpool in the summer but was immediately loaned back to France . MONEY EARNED FROM SELLING HOMEGROWN PLAYERS SINCE 2012 . Mathieu Debuchy left Lille for Newcastle United before later sealing a switch to Arsenal . Calum Chambers, Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw made 90.2million euros (£64.4m) for Saints as they moved to Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United respectively at the end of last season. But interestingly it is Lille – midtable in France’s top division - who were the most profitable of the rest. And that’s thanks in no small part to the Premier League. Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Mathieu Debuchy (Newcastle) and Divock Origi (Liverpool) have all sealed permanent switches to England since 2012 and count for the majority of Lille’s 76million euros recouped. While they have been able to lean on Origi this year – the Belgian striker was immediately sent back on loan – they are renowned for taking the money for their sellable assets. They sold five academy stars in that period in contrast to Real Sociedad’s two – Antoine Griezmann and Asier Illarramendi. Atletico Madrid snapped up the former for around 30m euros last summer, with city rivals Real taking Illarramendi a year previous. It is Ligue 1 who garner the most profit on their academy stars, with the Premier League third . Adam Lallana (left) and Luke Shaw both left St Mary's for bigger things last summer . Unsurprisingly Real Madrid and Barcelona both figure in the top 10 after selling off a raft of players who were unlikely to impact on their first team for modest profits. Mario Gotze’s move to Bayer Munich mean Dortmund figure ahead of the Spanish giants, with Sevilla nestled beneath Sociedad after earning just over 50m euros. The research puts into perspective a lack of homegrown talent emerging from top-flight clubs outside of Southampton’s buzzing academy. Swansea, Manchester United and Everton are the only other domestic sides included in Europe’s top 20; each of United’s five players sold – Michael Keane, Danny Welbeck, Robbie Brady, Matt James and Josh King – were deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, with four of them having to drop down a division in the search of regular football. A large proportion of Everton’s profits was down to

Summary: Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Calum Chambers all left Southampton last summer for big money . But Ligue 1 Lille take 76million euros from homegrown sales since 2012 . Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Dortmund complete the top five in Europe .


Struck off: Fadi Sukaria joked he could cure a nurse’s intimate medical condition with his ‘magic tongue’ A Syrian dentist who joked he could cure a nurse’s intimate medical condition with his ‘magic tongue’ has been struck off. Fadi Sukaria repeatedly groped his colleague, made sexually explicit comments to her and asked if she had any ‘rude’ pictures or videos on her phone. When he heard she was suffering from cystitis, Sukaria said: ‘I have a magic tongue to make it better.’ His disturbing comments were made while the pair were working together at the Gateway Dental Practice in Barnsley, the General Dental Council (GDC) heard. Sukaria also asked the woman, referred to as Nurse A, if she had ever been raped before stroking her breasts, groping her bottom and biting her arm, the hearing was told. Saba Naqshbandia, for the GDC, said they were working together on November 28 2012, when they chatted about going to the gym. ‘During this Sukaria stroked her bottom very lightly and said it was "nice". The complainant responded by saying: "Don’t ever touch my bum". ‘He stroked her breast saying: "I will touch these instead". She recalled that he was laughing.’ ‘She had to lean next to him, but not over him, to use the computer - as she used the mouse he stroked her right breast again. ‘He grabbed her right arm with his teeth and mouth and sucked it. She said "how dare you do that" and he laughed. ‘Later he said: "I wonder what your bum feels like with jeans on" and tried to put his hands on her. ‘She recalls being very scared and wondering what he was going to do, by now the complainant was very upset and shocked.’ When she asked another member of staff for a lift home in the evening Sukaria asked if she had ever been raped and added: ‘I’ve never raped anyone.’ The next day she did not attend work, saying she felt unwell. Sukaria also showed another dental nurse - Nurse B - pictures of a woman’s bottom on his phone, saying: ‘Look at that bum, it’s really nice bum.’ He also thrust his groin while laughing, the hearing was told. Giving evidence, Nurse B said: ‘It was a picture of a lady bending over wearing black trousers. He said "that’s a really nice one to get a hold of," and simulated her straddling him with a leg either side. ‘I think he was a bit filthy minded. I don’t think he thought there was anything wrong with what he did even though it was inappropriate.’ Sukaria denied all the allegations against him and fellow dentist Dr Fulya Arda told the hearing: ‘Fadi is a very nice person, he is very trustworthy - I have known him for ten years. His disturbing comments were made while the pair were working together at the Gateway Dental Practice in Barnsley, above, the General Dental Council (GDC) heard . ‘I was very surprised by the allegations. When I read them first I just laughed - there is

Luke Shaw will come through this, but he is playing like he has the handbrake on. Is he being overcoached? Shaw was substituted at half-time in the 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final loss against Arsenal at Old Trafford. What has happened to the marauding full back who played with such freedom for Southampton? He is only 19 and he will come again, but the player Manchester United signed for £30million would hit crosses on the run and did his best work at the top end of the pitch. Luke Shaw has struggled to recapture his Southampton form at Manchester United . Shaw was taken off by United manager Louis van Gaal during half-time against Arsenal . Shaw has not progressed in a similar manner to his former Southampton team-mate Nathaniel Clyne (right) He isn’t doing that now. It looks to me as if he’s thinking too much and that will be down to him trying to carry out instructions. Shaw is going to be a star, but when you consider how Nathaniel Clyne is developing, why isn’t Shaw doing the same? He is a young man, who has had his injuries, but he is struggling and was taken off at half-time in a reshuffle that ultimately didn’t pay off.

Gisela Triana, 48, says she's 'disappointed in herself' following her drunk driving arrest . A Texas judge has been arrested for drunk driving following a party with several local lawyers at a taping of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' in Austin. Travis County civil judge Gisela Triana, 48, had an empty bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade in the center console of her Chevy Suburban when she was pulled over for speeding Friday night, police said. Triana has been on the bench since 1999, when she was appointed to fill the seat of another judge who resigned in the wake of a drunk driving arrest, according to the Austin Chronicle. The judge told cops that she had been with several other Austin lawyers and judges at a taping of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' who was in town for South By Southwest. The officer who pulled her over said she was driving 47mph in a 30mph zone. Police say Triana refused a breath test and claimed she had only four drinks before getting behind the wheel, the Austin American-Statesman reports. She claimed she had two drinks at the Jimmy Kimmel show and two more drinks at Zax Restaurant & Bar. She was pulled over less than two miles from the bar. Triana allegedly could not walk a straight line during a field sobriety test. The officer said her eyes were glassy, she smelled of alcohol and slurred her words. Triana says she was at a taping of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' with several lawyer friends, including other judges. She claims she had four drinks throughout the night . Triana, a mother of four, was first appointed to the bench in 1999 to replace a judge who resigned over a drunk driving arrest . The cop took the judge in for a blood draw - the results of which are still pending. She was arrested and released the next morning on bail. Triana, who is a former misdemeanor court judge and former prosecutor with the Travis County Attorney's Office, issued a statement saying she is 'disappointed in herself.' 'Regardless of the outcome of the pending investigation, I am very disappointed in myself and am sorry for any conduct that has made this legal process necessary. Whether it is determined that I was legally intoxicated or not, the investigation itself indicates that I have not met my own standards of careful conduct,' she said. The results of the blood test will determine whether Triana faces formal criminal charges.

Summary: Gisela Triana had an empty bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade in the center console of her Chevy Suburban when she was pulled over, police say . Triana has served on the bench in Austin since she was appointed in 1999 - when her predecessor resigned over a drunk driving arrest . Kimmel was in Austin for South By Southwest .


Bafetimbi Gomis may not score often in the Premier League, but his goals tend to leave a lasting impression. They come late, they decide matches, and they present the opposition with questions to ponder. Gomis, playing his second match since collapsing at White Hart Lane, struck three minutes from time at Villa Park to prick the bubble blown by Tim Sherwood. This was the second time in his short tenure Aston Villa have lost at home to a goal in the closing stages. It keeps Villa within the pull of the relegation zone when it had looked, after consecutive wins and reaching Wembley, an upward trajectory was gathering. For Gomis, it was a third goal of the Premier League campaign. His first came 12 minutes from time to beat Arsenal in November, bringing scrutiny on Arsene Wenger. Bafetimbi Gomis (centre) slides home a late winner to give Swansea City a 1-0 win at Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon .

His second felled Manchester United in the 73rd minute of their February encounter, casting doubt on the Louis Van Gaal philosophy. This strike, while leaving Sherwood perplexed, helped suggest there is life after Wilfried Bony for Swansea. The limelight has switched to Gomis since Bony left for Manchester City with £28million going the other way. At times he has struggled to escape the shadow cast by his predecessor. Grave concerns were raised when he lay motionless against Tottenham three weeks ago, before it emerged he has a vasovagal condition which causes low blood pressure and fainting episodes. On Saturday, he missed three good chances. But he kept going and rounded off a lovely goal with a predatory finish. Wayne Routledge danced into space in the middle of the pitch and released Jefferson Montero with a cultured pass. The rapid winger, on as a substitute, hit top gear to race past Leandro Bacuna and crossed with the outside of his right boot. Despite being tugged back by Ciaran Clark, Gomis connected

Summary: Bafetimbi Gomis tucked home a late finish on 87 minutes to give Swansea City victory at Villa Park . Result sees Swansea move above Stoke City into eighth in the Premier League on 43 points .

A chilling 911 call made from inside the Ohio home where a mother allegedly beheaded her three-month-old daughter has revealed the chaotic scene after the body was found. Deasia Watkins, 20, had gone to bed after allegedly decapitating her baby, Janiyah, and repeatedly stabbing her body, leaving relatives to find the girl's remains early on Monday. Watkins' aunt, who had custody of the child, made the 911 call. 'Somebody please send the police!' the aunt can be heard begging in the call, which was obtained by the Washington Post. 'My niece killed our baby! Please! Help me!' Through sobs, the woman explains she was sleeping when her adult son brought his children over to her house to be picked up for school and discovered the body. Arrested: Deasia Watkins, 20, allegedly beheaded her three-month-old daughter, Janiyah (right) on Monday. She had been ordered to keep away from the child after she was hospitalized for psychiatric problems . 'My son came in here and woke me up and said, "Momma the baby's dead",' she explains. Overcome with emotion, she is unable to speak and her son takes the phone. The 911 dispatcher presses him for details about what happened. 'Lady, the baby is on my mom's kitchen counter with its head smashed,' the man says. 'Can you please just send the police as fast as you can.' He adds that he does not know where his cousin - Watkins - is and pleads with the dispatcher to send police before the young woman is able to hurt herself. Trying to piece together what has happened, the dispatcher asks the man if the baby is breathing. 'Listen lady, the baby is deceased,' he says, as his mother wails in the background. When the dispatcher pushes for more details, he says bluntly: 'Look, lady. I don't want to describe the scene. The [scene] is very, very bad, alright? The little baby's head is open. Like, open open. Scene: Watkins was staying at her aunt's College Hill, Ohio home (pictured) when she allegedly murdered the baby. Police found Watkins in bed and covered in blood when they responded to her aunt's 911 call . 'I'm not going in there to touch nothing, because I don't want to mess nothing up. I'm not going in there to look, because I've already seen it. But it's very violent. It's a very violent scene.' Police arrived at the College Hill home to find the decapitated baby. The child had been stabbed 15 times and had a fractured arm, and the knife had been placed in her hand. Watkins was found covered in blood and asleep in a bedroom and was arrested for aggravated murder. She was taken to hospital for mental evaluation. Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters said that Watkins, who is under guard at Deaconess Hospital, is not talking to authorities. 'She's like a zombie,' he told WCPO. 'We're hoping to get her some medication so she can begin talking. 'Until she gets in front of some doctors and talks, it's going to be very difficult to know

Buoyant: George Osborne on a visit to a building site in Essex yesterday . Families will be better off this year than they were when the Coalition came to power, independent experts said yesterday. In a boost to George Osborne, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said it was ‘very likely’ that household incomes would be higher this year than in 2010. The Chancellor’s claim that families would be £900 better off in 2015 was one of the key Tory messages in Wednesday’s Budget. The IFS also raised serious questions about Ed Miliband’s much-repeated counter-claim that families are £1,600 worse off than they were in 2010. In its annual post-Budget briefing yesterday, it suggested the Labour leader’s figure was out of date and failed to take account of rising pensioner incomes, surging employment or changes to the tax and benefit system. The think-tank’s verdict potentially deals a fatal blow to Mr Miliband’s claims of a cost of living ‘crisis’. In a further blow, the IFS said inequality in Britain had fallen under the Coalition. It also said Labour’s plans were so lax that Mr Miliband might borrow up to £25billion a year more than the Tories – piling up Britain’s £1.5trillion national debt indefinitely. But it did warn that the impact of coalition cuts had fallen most heavily on the poor, as a result of reductions in benefits. Mr Osborne seized on the IFS verdict last night as evidence that the Government’s plans are starting to deliver higher living standards for families despite the years of austerity needed to deal with the huge budget deficit left by Labour. The Chancellor said: ‘This is a very significant moment for our economic debate: on the day after the Budget, the independent IFS have confirmed the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast that living standards are set to be higher in 2015 than in 2010. ‘This is more evidence that our plan is delivering for Britain’s families, and it demolishes Ed Miliband’s central claim in this election. I’m the first to say that the job of repairing our economy isn’t done, because the British people are still paying a huge price for Labour’s great recession, but Britain is on the right track and we must not turn back.’ The debate over living standards provoked a furious row between Labour and the Conservatives during Wednesday’s Budget. The IFS said Labour’s claim was based on figures from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, covering the period 2010-2014. Economist Robert Joyce said it was true that these figures show average earnings fell during this period. But he said more recent data showed earnings are now ‘growing’. And he warned the Labour statistics give only a partial view of total household income. The figures do not include pensions, which have received a substantial boost. Because they are gross figures they also do not include the impact of tax changes. And they do not reflect that fact that employment is up by almost two million – meaning many people who previously had no income are now earning. Mr Joyce said: ‘It

Summary: 'Very likely' household incomes will be higher than in 2010, experts say . Osborne's claim that families will be £900 better off was key Budget pledge . Financial experts also raised questions about Ed Miliband's counter-claims . Labour leader said families are are £1,600 worse off than they were in 2010 . But a think-tank said Miliband's figure was out of date and not correct .


Photographs have revealed the frantic moment rescuers desperately tried to save a Canadian tourist who suffered fatal injuries when a breached whale hit her boat in Mexico. Jennifer Karren, 35, passed away in hospital after the whale collided with her boat in the Sea of Cortez off Cabo San Lucas on Wednesday. Two other people aboard the boat were also injured. The group had been returning from a snorkeling trip with 'Cabo Adventures' at around 11am when the whale hit the small vessel, tossing Karren into the water. The captain and a tourist both jumped into the water and pulled her back to the boat. Photographs released by the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection on Thursday show people on the boat desperately trying to save the woman with CPR. Scroll down for video .

Terrifying: The boat, pictured, collided with a grey whale, fatally injuring the woman and hurting two others . The boat company reported that the CPR was administered by another passenger, a nurse. Mexican navy personnel responded to the scene and moved Karren, from Calgary, to shore and from there she was rushed to a nearby private hospital where she later died. The two other people were said to have received 'considerable' injuries but are expected to survive, the company said. In a statement, tour operator Cabo Adventures explained that the boat's captain, José Salazar Tendis, had to make a 'sudden maneuver' to try to avoid the whale directly in front of them, but the beast hit the side of the boat instead. The captain immediately called the Naval Rescue, it said. The boat was carrying nine tourists on a snorkel tour at the time, the company said. Unknown danger: A California gray whale is pictured breaching in Magdalena Bay, Baja California Sur, Mexico (file photo). They can reach 49ft in length and weigh 36 tonnes and are often seen in Mexican waters . CBC News reported that Canadian consular officials in the area were assisting the woman's family. A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs said: 'Our thoughts are with the family and friends of a Canadian citizen who passed away in Mexico.' Gray whales can reach 49ft in length and weigh 36 tonnes and are known to frequent Mexican waters, where they migrate annually between their feeding and breeding grounds. Ahead of accident, Mexican authorities announced on Wednesday that the gray whale population in the area is unusually large this season, which runs from December to April. Cabo Adventures runs multiple tour days, from snorkeling and scuba diving to whale watching and camel riding. Carren was on the $79 'Snorkel & Sea Adventure' which

Armed with plastic bags packed with silver coins, Indonesian protesters today took to the Australian Embassy in Jakarta to 'pay back' the country's $1 billion aid donation given in the aftermath of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. The tongue-in-cheek protest followed an Indonesian uproar over Prime Minister Tony Abbott's remarks last month linking Australia's humanitarian work in Indonesia to the fate of Bali Nine ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, who are slated for execution by firing squad. Carrying flags with Mr Abbott's face crossed out, the small group of protesters were photographed handing over the petty currency to embassy officials. Is this a down payment? Indonesian protesters today handed bags of silver coins to Australian officials at the embassy in Jakarta after Mr Abbott last month referenced Australia's billion dollar aid donation to Indonesia following the Boxing Day tsunami in relation to the imminent execution of the Bali Nine . A small group of young Indonesians today protested Mr Abbott's remarks linking the execution of Bali Nine ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran . 'Coin4Abbott': After collecting bags of coins, Indonesian activists today attempted to re-pay the Australian government for their $1 billion Boxing Day tsunami aid . In late February, Mr Abbott caused a furore when told reporters: 'Let us not forget that a few years ago, when Indonesia was struck by the Indian Ocean tsunami, Australia sent a billion dollars worth of assistance.' He added that Australians lost their lives in the humanitarian campaign and that Australia would be 'grievously let down'. 'I would say to the Indonesian people and the Indonesian government - we in Australia are always there to help you and we hope that you might reciprocate in this way at this time.' Indonesian foreign ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir responded by telling media: 'From what I know, nobody responds well to threats'. Crossed out: Prime Minister Tony Abbott's visage was vandalised by demonstrators in Jakarta today, as protesters 'donated' several bags of coins to the Indonesian embassy . Many Indonesians took social media to rail against the Prime Minister's remarks last month, particularly under the hashtag #Coin4Abbott . Many Indonesians took social media to rail against the Prime Minister's remarks, particularly under the hashtag #Coin4Abbott. 'Take Back All Money & S**t You Gave Us!' one Twitter user said, posting a picture of a jar of coins. Quipped another user: 'Go to hell with your aid Bogan Oz.' Indonesia's Attorney-General has delayed Chan and Sukumaran's execution until all of their avenues of appeal have been exhausted. Mr Abbott told WSFM on Friday that the protest would not stop him from holidaying in Bali, adding that his diplomacy would take a more private form. 'I would hate to think that our understandable dismay and disappointment and even anger at the prospect of these executions... would permanently blight the relationship, because it's too important to both our countries,' he said.

Alan Pardew wants wingers Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie to become the 21st century version of Ian Wright and Mark Bright at Crystal Palace. The pair terrorised QPR last week in the 3-1 win with Zaha scoring from a Bolasie cross and Pardew is excited by the potential his two wingers have attacking both flanks. But the Palace boss has warned the pair are not the finished article and still have plenty of room for improvement. Wilfried Zaha celebrates with Crystal Palace team-mates after his opener at Selhurst Park last weekend . Yannick Bolasie was in magnificent form last Saturday as Crystal Palace beat QPR 3-1 at Selhurst Park . He said: ‘I think any team knows that any full backs coming up against these two know they are in for a test because these two can move the ball. ‘They have to do the other parts of the game that don’t come as easy to them such as, discipline, work rate, commitment, aggression, but they are adding those aspects to their games and at the moment they have got the flare in them to create something. ‘It is exciting to watch them and it is exciting to have them in the team - but frightening for the opposing manager.’ Ian Wright congratulates Mark Bright (centre) during their spell together playing for the Eagles . The Crystal Palace squad of 1990-91, including Wright and Bright, celebrate winning the Full Members Cup . Pardew was a player at Palace in the late 1980s and early 90s when Wright and Bright formed one of the most lethal strike partnerships in English football. They scored a total of 209 goals between them and guided Palace to promotion to the top flight in 1989 and then to a third place finish in the old Division One under Steve Coppell in 1991. And Pardew says the game has changed so much with more focus being put on the midfield that the sort of partnership that Wright and Bright had is unlikely ever to be seen again – but Zaha and Bolasie can provide a new type of threat. He added: ‘Mark Bright and Ian Wright had a very tight bond and that helped them with each others games. Zaha slides in to open the scoring during the 3-1 win over relegation threatened Queens Park Rangers . ‘They were very unselfish, although Brighty will probably argue that Ian was more selfish than him. ‘What they had was the chemistry of the old front pair. Those days are sadly diminishing because of the power of the midfield of the top teams and if you don't match that up it is very difficult to win games so that kind of combination is not a popular in the Premier League as it used to be. ‘The style you have with Zaha and Bolasie out wide it can provide a nice force for us and we have a very experienced striker in Glenn Murray who is looking to profit and that is their job, to put balls in the box.’ Palace travel

Summary: Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie have impressed this season . Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew wants the pair to replicate the success of club legends Ian Wright and Mark Bright . The former Selhurst Park partnership scored 209 goals between them .


The Gulf Stream, the ocean current that brings mild weather to northern Europe and balmy conditions to the south east of the US, is slowing at its fastest rate in 1,000 years. New research has revealed that the enormous currents that circulate warm and cold water around the Atlantic ocean has slowed by 15-20 per cent over the past century. Scientists say that the increasing flow of fresh water from melting Greenland ice sheets may be driving the slowdown. The graphic above shows the sea in the North Atlantic is cooler than the surrounding ocean due to the influx of fresh water from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which has slowed the gulf stream, say scientists . Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, an oceans physicist at the Potsdam Insittute for Climate Impact Research, said: 'It is conspicuous that one specific area in the North Atlantic has been cooling in the past hundred years while the rest of the world heats up. 'Now we have detected strong evidence that the global conveyor has indeed been weakening in the past hundred years, particularly since 1970. Climate change could make the food we eat taste worse, according to recent research. A major report on the impact of global warming on food has predicted that the quality of many meats and vegetables is due to decline at temperatures increase. The researchers predict that as heatwaves become more common, meat like chicken and beef will become stringier and tougher. Carrots are likely to lose their flavour and develop a less pleasant texture. Beetroots and onions will become smaller while milk will contain less protein needed to make cheese. A separate study by marine biologists has also shown that shellfish will take on a sour flavour as our oceans acidify. They warn that as the planet's oceans grow more acidic, due to rising carbon dioxide levels, many of our favourite seafoods could become less appetising. Shrimp raised in water with a lower pH were 2.6 times more likely to be rated as the worst tasting, while those reared in the less acidic water were 3.4 times more likely to be judged the tastiest. The findings suggest that as global temperatures rise due to climate change, areas that are warmed by the Gulf Stream could see temperatures fall, particularly in the winter. The Gulf Stream is a powerful current that forms part of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. This is a system of currents that are driven by the rising and sinking of water in different regions of the Atlantic. Warm water from the equator is driven north towards the Artic where it cools, increases in salinity and sinks to the ocean depths. This drives deep sea currents that pump water back to the equator, where it is warmed, rising to the surface and feeding the currents towards the pole. In the Arctic, cold salty water sinks to the ocean depths, driving deep sea currents down to the equator where warmer water then rises to the surface and feeds the Gulf Stream. The influx of warm water from

Summary: Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research found the sea in the North Atlantic ocean is far colder than computer models predict . They say ocean currents that drive the Gulf Stream has slowed by 15-20% . The researchers claim fresh water from melting ice sheets may be to blame . They say flow of melt water has accelerated recently due to climate change . Weakened Gulf Stream may mean more severe winters in northern Europe . Water temperatures around Florida and east coast of US could also suffer .

This is the terrifying moment a boiler explodes in a child's playroom, leaving toys and debris scattered all over the place. Anne-Marie Faiola, 37, from Bellingham, Washington, said her four-year-old son Jamisen had just left the room before the freak accident occurred last Friday afternoon. Footage caught on a baby monitor camera shows the eruption take place, with a wall suddenly imploding and smoke filling the air. Fire alarms start sounding as a thick fog fills the room. Faiola, who owns a soap-making supply company, said she was driving home when she was informed about the explosion by her nanny. The childminder told her over the phone that she heard a ticking and bang, before seeing smoke coming out of the vents. Both of Faiola's children, who were not in the room at the time, were evacuated from the house by their nanny and father. Firefighters then attended the scene to check it was safe to re-inhabit.

Apparently the gas levels inside the home were too high. One fireman told Faiola that if anyone had tried to cook anything, the entire house would have been 'leveled.' Commenting on the event, the mother-of-two wrote on her blog: 'Thankfully, instead of blowing up like a rocket ship, the force of the blast took it sideways into our storage area, and not directly up into Lily’s crib - her room is directly above the boiler. 'We’re focusing on that and the feelings of thankfulness, and how lucky we are, rather than the dull monotony of all the next steps. 'We are safe. Our house can be fixed.' Faiola made the video of her gas explosion public to serve as a warning to others to check boilers regularly. The cause of her home blast is currently under investigation . Safe from harm: Both of Faiola's children, who were not in the room at the time, were evacuated from the house by their nanny and father (above, the Faiola family) Fallout: The boiler was ripped from its foundation and launched 15 feet across the room .

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (centre) is an injury doubt for Schalke's Champions League game at Real Madrid . Schalke forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting picked up a knock in Schalke's win over Hoffenheim . Schalke goalkeeper Wetklo dives to make a save during a training session on Monday in Spain . Even without their injury problems, and midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng's suspension, Schalke would be facing a formidable task at the Bernabeu after losing 2-0 to the holders in last month's last-16 first leg in Gelsenkirchen. Real have stumbled recently in La Liga, losing top spot to Barcelona at the weekend after a 1-0 reverse at Athletic Bilbao, but should have little trouble getting past the Bundesliga side. Victory for Carlo Ancelotti's men would equal the Champions League record for consecutive home wins (12) and break the record for the most in a row overall. Real matched Bayern Munich's competition-best run of 10 straight victories at Schalke. Schalke manager Roberto Di Mateo is facing a formidable task in trying to beat Madrid away .

To get in touch with Martin, leave your comments below or send your tweets to @MailSport using #TackleKeown . Sportsmail columnist MARTIN KEOWN answered YOUR questions after an entertaining week in the Champions League and the FA Cup. Chelsea were knocked out by PSG on Wednesday night, with subjects ranging from the referee's performance, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's comments on the Blues being 'babies', David Luiz's return and whether the Premier League is still the best in the world. Also, Arsenal overcame their Old Trafford hoo-doo to beat Manchester United on Monday night, and the former Gunners legend was at the game. But what was that 'money' sign to Arsene Wenger all about? You can read all the answers below. Host commentator . It’s certainly a good way to sum it up. If you think about how you’d react in that situation, he didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry. He probably thought the referee had got it so wrong, and everyone could see it, that he’d get off the hook. The controlled reaction of the Chelsea players was definitely a factor in the red card. Many years ago, when I was playing under George Graham against United, he accused us of being too nice during half-time. He said we had to get around the referee as they were influencing every decision. From that day, I contested every decision, almost giving the referee a running commentary. I would often say, ‘who’s in charge, them or you?’. There’s nothing worse for a referee to hear. I appreciated why people don’t like to see it, but as well as influencing the referee, it makes you fight and compete for everything. It makes you more alive and puts your receptors on red alert. It’s like a game within a game, and believe me, it works. Niall came into the game quite late. As a youngster he did his A-levels and his club Reading helped him through. Just recently he’s turned a huge corner, particularly since Steve Clarke was appointed and started involving him in first-team training. Ireland asked about him last year, but he had an operation, which curtailed his development. Now he’s in the Under 21 squad and we’re very proud. It looks ironic, given that I played for England, but a lot of my family were shocked I didn’t play for Ireland as I come from a big Irish family. I could have played with as much passion for Ireland as I did for England, and it’s Niall’s right to play for Ireland, too. It was a clear demonstration from United that he’s not going to be a part of their future. We know he hasn’t played well, and he looks like he’s lost some sharpness because of his knee injury. Though his last contribution for United, winning a penalty against Sunderland, was very important and has been largely overlooked. He hasn’t played since! I think letting him go is probably the right call though. He’s not sharp enough, and doesn’t strike fear into the opposition. He looks to have given up trying to

Summary: Chelsea knocked out of Champions League after away goals defeat by PSG . Chelsea surrounding the referee: It's a calculated, orchestrated reaction, and they've been doing it for a while It's the quickest you'll ever see John Terry run! It was like PSG had been hypnotised into thinking they had 11 men . Chelsea didn't go out to win the match . Premier League the best? It's still interesting, it's about finding consistency . Chelsea look to have the wrong mentality, Capital One Cup win may have taken the edge of them. It shouldn't be handed out so early in the season . Both David Luiz and Danny Welbeck were right to celebrate. They were shown the door, so why not? Manchester United would be near the top of the league under Sir Alex Ferguson. Is Louis van Gaal's man management failing? 'Babies' is a good way to sum Chelsea up... but pressurising the referee certainly works . Did Arsenal underestimate Monaco, and Jose Mourinho the Parisians? Arsenal knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup after 2-1 victory . Keown made 'money' gesture to manager Arsene Wenger prior to kick-off .


Never mind the typical attractions that will attract hordes of tourists this Easter, how about heading to West London to look at First World War Oxo cube wrappers or packages of Rolos? Or travelling to Wales to visit a second-floor council flat that houses the world's only baked bean museum? We may be a small island but we do brilliantly bonkers attractions remarkably well. Here are some of the quirkiest attractions in the UK. Scroll down for video . Robert Opie started Museum of Brands in 1984 and has collected over half a million wrappers and packages . Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising . Where: Notting Hill, London . As the name suggests, this is a museum dedicated to discarded wrappers and packaging. The man behind it is Robert Opie, who has amassed a treasured collection of over half a million items, although only about 12,000 are displayed here. His light bulb moment came in 1963 when the obsessive collector was 16 and had just finished some Rowntree’s Munchies and McVitie's and Price ginger nuts. His thinking was that if he threw away the wrappers a small fragment of history would be consigned to rubbish. The consumer historian has since become an authority on the history of supermarket brands and written twenty books on the subject. As well as biscuit tins and soap powder expect nostalgic toys, games and posters. The light bulb moment came in 1963 when the obsessive collector was 16 and polished off some snacks . Captain Beany has curated a collection of bean tins, money boxes, posters and other one-off memorabilia . Baked Bean Museum . Where: Port Talbot, Wales . Congratulations are in order for the 10-year anniversary of the world’s only museum dedicated to baked beans. Captain Beany (previously Barry Kirk - he changed his name by deed poll) installed the exhibit dedicated to Heinz in his Port Talbot council flat back in 2005. From a second-floor flat on the Aberavon seafront the bean enthusiast has curated a collection of bean tins, bean money boxes, posters and other one-off memorabilia. The walls, ceiling and curtains are all orange and, when the opportunity arises, he dresses up in a cape, green pants, orange jumpsuit and painted face to become his alter ego, Captain Beany.

Orlando police used a department training exercise Friday to search for a mother of three who went missing the same day she appeared in an episode of The People's Court in 2011. Michelle Parker, 33, of Orlando was last seen November 17 dropping her three-year-old twins off at the home of ex-fiancé Dale Smith, whose legal quarrel over a $5,000 engagement ring featured in an episode of the show recorded earlier that year. WOFL reported about 100 officers searched an area of Belle Isle about two miles south of Orlando International Airport without finding any trace of Parker, whose cell phone last pinged nearby. Disappeared: Michelle Parker (left), who disappeared in 2011 at age 33, was seen the same day on an episode of The People's Court, where she was sued by ex-fiance Dale Smith (right) over a $5000 engagement ring . Police have searched the area before, and though the three-hour investigation of the grounds did not turn up any new evidence, it was heartening for Parker's parents. 'I don’t like it. It makes me angry that we have to go through this all the type because it’s really painful and hard but I’m happy,' Parker's mother Yvonne Stewart said according to News 13. Parker's Hummer had been found the day after she disappeared at an apartment complex in Orlando with the decals for her tanning business peeled from the windows. Her family has continuously pushed for answers about her disappearance. 'It's agony not knowing what happened to your child,' Stewart told ABC. 'They thought they should go back and take a look at these woods.' Stewart says authorities told her one piece of evidence police hoped to find was the missing decal that might have been taken from the Hummer. Training exercise: Police searched a wooded area near the Orlando International Airport for any clues as to the disappearance of Parker . Investigation continues: Though the family still harbors hope that authorities will uncover new evidence about Parker's disappearance, the case has cooled over the past few years . No leads: Smith, pictured during the show, is the only person of interest in his ex-fiancee's disappearance, but has never been charged . Distraught: Parker's mother and other family members have pushed hard for investigations to continue in spite of little evidence noting Parker's whereabouts . 'I don't want to find her dead. I want to find her alive,' said Parker's father, Brad. On the episode of courtroom series 'The People's Court,' recorded the summer before her disappearance, Parker and Smith squared off over a $5,000 engagement ring. The show revealed a 'violent' history of her relationship with Smith, who had been dishonorably discharged from the Marines in 2003 following a reported court martial and military convictions for drug possession and domestic battery. Smith was charged with domestic battery during their relationship, after which Parker filed a request for a restraining order in 2009, which was denied, . In her filing she said he 'smashed the passenger side window in my SUV' and 'took car seats out and threw them in

She credits her as her ‘greatest inspiration’ – yet the one person model-turned-artist Tali Lennox has never painted is her popstar mother Annie. The 22-year-old, who is preparing for her first solo art exhibition in New York, has received critical acclaim. But in an exclusive interview with The Scottish Mail on Sunday, she revealed she had still not plucked up the courage to capture the Eurythmics star on canvas. Scroll down for video . Tali, right, pictured with her Eurythmics singer mother, Annie Lennox, is preparing for her first art exhibition . She said: ‘She is one of the only people I haven’t painted. I haven’t built myself up to it yet. ‘I am such a perfectionist and I worry that it might not turn out as amazing as I would want it to. She is so important to me and I want it to be just right.’ Last week the 22-year-old faced criticism for posting self portraits of herself as a bruised and bloodied victim of domestic violence online . She has painted her close friends, her sister, even her boyfriend, New York-based photographer Ian Jones: ‘I like to paint people I know rather than strangers, as I have a deeper understanding of their expressions and what each one means. ‘I will paint my mum at some point. The last time I was with her we were talking about it. I am thinking I might do a series, in different situations, that capture different sides of her.’ The youngest daughter of the Scottish singer and her second husband, Israeli film producer Uri Fruchtmann, Tali grew up in London’s Notting Hill. Yet despite her high-profile parents, she describes her upbringing as ‘sheltered’, saying: ‘People find it hard to believe, but my childhood was really quite normal. ‘My mum has always been so modest and grounded and didn’t really involve herself in the world of celebrity. First and foremost, despite being an incredibly successful singer, she was a parent. ‘I never felt we were under a spotlight and we didn’t have paparazzi trailing us all the time, which I am grateful for. ‘I think because we didn’t do anything out of the ordinary we were left alone and that helped me growing up. I didn’t really feel any different to anyone else.’ It was only when Tali and her older sister Lola first accompanied her on a world tour that they realised just how fêted their mother was. ‘I remember, during her performances, seeing people crying in the crowd and I was like: “Woah, they must really love her”. Thousands of people would be singing along to her music – I think it was then that it hit home to me how famous she was.’ Tali would later go into modelling, starring in big budget campaigns for Burberry and Prada. Two years ago, she put her modelling career on hold to move to the US and become a professional portrait artist. But still makes sure she speaks to her mother every day: ‘I love to talk to her about what I am doing.
