They start their title defence with a home game against Derbyshire, promoted as Division Two champions last season.
In the second tier, Lancashire and Worcestershire meet at Old Trafford, with both seeking an immediate return to the top flight.
The YB40 gets under way on 3 May, with the FL t20 starting on 26 June.
The BBC will have expanded live coverage this summer, featuring commentary on every day of every match, via the BBC Sport website.
Captain: Wayne Madsen
Overseas players: Shivnarine Chanderpaul (West Indies); second player for FL t20 to be confirmed
How they did last season: Division Two champions in County Championship, fourth in CB40 group, fifth in FL t20 group.
Season prospects: Everyone at Derby is aware that most 'experts' are already writing off their chances of surviving in the top division and they head into the season with a grim determination to not only survive, but to thrive. With Chanderpaul, they have added a world-class batsman to the normally reliable duo of Madsen and Wes Durston, and another new signing, Billy Godleman, gets a chance to reboot his career. In limited-overs cricket, the amount of young talent coming through the Derbyshire ranks should see big improvements and a challenge for only a second quarter-final appearance in the Twenty20.
One to watch: One of the reasons for optimism is the many young players coming into the first-team picture this season. Batsman Dan Redfern should make more big strides, but I'm going to cheat and nominate two youngsters, all-rounders Alex Hughes and Peter Burgoyne. Neither will be automatic choices early, but I expect both to play a growing part as the season progresses.
By BBC Radio Derby's Charles Collins
Captain: Paul Collingwood
Overseas players: None
How they did last season: Sixth in County Championship Division One, fifth in CB 40 group, third in FL t20 group.
Season prospects: On paper, Durham still have one of the best squads in the country and when they apply themselves as a team, they can beat anyone. The weather proved a major problem last season with 23 days of action lost and over the winter the club have had to go cap in hand for millions of pounds in loans from a number of public bodies. Money is tight - hence no pre-season tour and, as yet, no overseas player. Durham are the only side not to go down since relegation went from three teams to two and I would settle for a mid-table finish. Chris Rushworth impressed greatly last summer and it will be nice to see how he continues this year, but, having lost the retired Michael Di Venuto, some may feel things look a bit thin on the batting front.
One to watch: With spinner Ian Blackwell retired, this is a season in which leg-spinner Scott Borthwick has a chance to fill the void and he will certainly get more overs. From a batting point of view, Keaton Jennings looks a great prospect. The South African was scoring runs for fun in the second team last season and already has a century this year against Durham University.
By BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson
Captain: James Foster
Overseas players: Rob Quiney (Australia), Shaun Tait (Australia, for FL t20 only)
How they did last season: Fifth in County Championship Division Two, fifth in CB40 group, third in FL t20 group.
Season prospects: Essex will have a strong-looking batting unit when they have everyone available, but with Owais Shah and Ryan ten Doeschate away on IPL duty and Alastair Cook taking a break at the start of the summer, they will be looking to Mark Pettini and Rob Quiney to provide the experience alongside youngsters of Tom Westley, Ben Foakes and Jaik Mickleburgh. Getting out of Division Two of the Championship has to be seen as a priority for a county which dominated in the 80s and early 90s. In the seam bowling department, Saj Mahmood has arrived to boost an attack which had previously been over-reliant on David Masters.
One to watch: Reece Topley arrived on the scene two years ago with a bang and Essex will want to continue his development. Tymal Mills is another exciting young fast bowler.
By BBC Essex's Glenn Speller
Captain: Mark Wallace (Championship), Marcus North (one-day)
Overseas players: Marcus North (Australia); Dirk Nannes (Australia, for T20)
How they did last season: Sixth in County Championship Division Two, sixth in CB40 Group B and fifth in FL t20 Midlands/West/Wales Group.
Season prospects: Glamorgan have now failed to win a trophy since 2004 and the barren spell has not been helped by England Lions strike bowler James Harris' decision to join Middlesex, but the arrival of quick bowler Dirk Nannes could make Glamorgan an outside bet for T20 success. Director of cricket Matthew Mott is in the final year of a three-year contract, having tried and failed to get the New Zealand national coach's job last year. He wants his team to make a faster start this season.
One to watch: New signing Murray Goodwin. He might be 40 but his experience of winning seven trophies with Sussex should add some much-needed steel to the batting department as his 48 centuries during 12 years on the south coast would suggest. All-rounder Graham Wagg has impressed in pre-season friendlies after missing much of last season with a foot injury. The former England A player could be a vital weapon in the Welsh county's armoury.
By BBC Wales' Richard Thomas and Richard Williams
Captain: Michael Klinger
Overseas players: Michael Klinger (Australia), Dan Christian (Australia, for Twenty20 only)
How they did last season: Bottom of County Championship Division Two, third in CB40 group, quarter-finalists in FL t20.
Season prospects: Gloucestershire have one of the smallest and least experienced squads in county cricket, and also lack a frontline spinner, so it will take all the skills of head coach John Bracewell and new captain Michael Klinger to keep them competitive. Much will depend on how Klinger finds combining captaincy with opening the batting, and how players such as Chris Dent, Liam Norwell and Ian Saxelby cope after injury troubles last season. The first phase of the County Ground development is under way, but at the moment Gloucestershire's resources are at full stretch and they would be regarded as outsiders for silverware this season.
One to watch: Chris Dent. The left-handed batsman missed the first half of last season with a broken finger, but was still the team's second highest run-scorer in the Championship. A versatile player, he can bowl occasional slow left-arm and keep wicket, but his batting is his strongest suit. At 22, he should learn a lot from opening with Klinger and, with two Championship hundreds already, a full summer could see him make 1,000 runs for the first time.
By BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Ian Randall
Captain: Jimmy Adams
Overseas players: George Bailey (Australia), Saeed Ajmal (Pakistan)
How they did last season: Fourth in County Championship Division Two, winners of CB40 and FL t20.
Season prospects: Trying to match winning two one-day trophies last season may be beyond Hampshire this campaign. However, the experience gained and the high-pressure games won along the way will stand the team in good stead. Hampshire will be the side to beat in the shorter formats but, while they will expect another good showing in the one-day competitions, it is the County Championship by which the season will be measured. They were happy to rebuild last season, but the pressure is on to regain the Division One status they lost in 2011.
One to watch: This is an important season for 23-year-old Liam Dawson in terms of establishing himself as a prominent member of the side. Dawson will be entrusted with the number three position in the Championship, with orders to 'bat long', having struggled as an opener in 2012 and being dropped down the order. His left-arm spin, which had fallen away badly, was more effective last year, doing much to keep Danny Briggs out of the side on green wickets. A successful season with both bat and ball in 2013 may see the all-rounder tipped for further honours, as he was a few seasons ago when captaining England Under-19s.
By BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James
Captain: James Tredwell
Overseas players: None (Brendan Nash has submitted an application to become a Kolpak player)
How they did last season: Third in County Championship Division Two, third in CB40 Group C, fourth in FL t20 South Group
Season prospects: Following near misses in all three competitions in 2012, Kent will hope to continue their progression under head coach Jimmy Adams. In stark contrast to the mass changes last season, it has been a stable winter at the St. Lawrence Ground, with the only major upheaval seeing James Tredwell replace Rob Key as captain. Promotion from Division Two must be the minimum goal and much will depend on Key scoring heavily at the top of the order, keeping their thin bowling attack fit and healthy, and minimising the impact of Tredwell's international duties.
One to watch: Sam Northeast. With Kent's plethora of youngsters another year wiser, it could be a big season for many of them, but 2012 was a real breakthrough for Northeast, the county's leading run scorer in all competitions. He looks to be living up to the hype of his England Under-19 days and if he continues to progress at his current rate in both formats of the game, he could be knocking on the door of the England Lions selectors come September.
By BBC Radio Kent's Ben Croucher
Captain: Glen Chapple
Overseas players: Simon Katich (Australia)
How they did last season: Eighth in Championship Division One (relegated), semi-finalists in CB40, fourth in FL t20 group.
Season prospects: Lancashire will start the season as one of the favourites for promotion back to Division One, probably alongside Hampshire and Kent. The Red Rose have made their intentions clear and with the additions of Simon Katich and Ashwell Prince to boast one of the most powerful batting line-ups. With Kabir Ali also coming in, assuming he stays fit, Lancashire will be confident of enough bowling firepower to take 20 wickets in a match. If Kyle Hogg can rediscover his form from the title-winning season in 2011, their attack, which also includes the evergreen Glen Chapple and one of the country's most talented spinners in Simon Kerrigan, should be good enough to enable them to compete not just for promotion, but for one-day silverware as well.
One to watch: Ashwell Prince. Having committed to a two-year contract as a Kolpak player, the experience and talent of the South African will be crucial in Lancashire's bid for promotion back to Division One. He held the batting line-up together in 2012 and has shown in his previous three spells with the county that a good overseas signing can have a huge beneficial impact, both on and off the pitch.
By BBC Radio Lancashire's Scott Read
Captain: Ramnaresh Sarwan (Championship), Josh Cobb (one-day)
Overseas players: Ranmnaresh Sarwan (West Indies), Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh, for FL t20), Joe Burns (Australia, for FL t20)
How they did last season: Seventh in County Championship Division Two 2, sixth in CB40 group, bottom of T20 group.
Season prospects: The outlook is brighter than in previous seasons, with some strong additions in the winter. Niall O'Brien could be the missing link in the top order and the emergence of Shiv Thakor provides more encouragement for supporters. However, they need a fit Matthew Hoggard to compete in the County Championship and, after two barren and injury-filled years, it is time for Nathan Buck to deliver on his promise. Josh Cobb leads the team in all one-day cricket and expect better this season, with Shakib Al-Hasan an exciting signing to help give a more youthful and energetic feel to the shorter forms of the game.
One to watch: Joe Burns, the Queensland batsman who replaces Sarwan in May, will be keen to show the Australia selectors his abilities in an Ashes summer, and James Sykes the left-arm spinner, who will try and take on the role from Claude Henderson. Sykes has a nice action, turns it and has steady control.
By BBC Radio Leicester's Charles Dagnall
Captain: Chris Rogers (for County Championship), Neil Dexter (for YB40 and FL t20)
Overseas players: Chris Rogers (Australia), Adam Voges (Australia, for FL t20)
How they did last season: Third in County Championship Division One, second in CB40 group, fifth in FL t20 group.
Season prospects: Middlesex could not have hoped for a better outcome last season on their return to Division One. Whether they can go even further this year will depend greatly on the consistency of their middle-order batting. The top three of Joe Denly, Sam Robson and Chris Rogers can be relied upon to offer a solid foundation at the top, while the depth of the bowling attack has been strengthened by the outstanding addition of James Harris from Glamorgan. They have struggled in T20 cricket in recent years and this is an area the county will be desperate to improve in.
One to watch: Toby Roland-Jones has performed with astonishing consistency since his relatively late debut. The emergence of the naggingly accurate seamer has helped to fill very big boots, now that Steven Finn is established in the England side. With the ever-reliable Tim Murtagh, the new recruit Harris and the occasional glimpse of Steven Finn, along with all-rounder Gareth Berg, Middlesex will have arguably the most feared bowling attack in the country.
By BBC London 94.9's Kevin Hand
Captain: Stephen Peters (Championship), Alex Wakely (YB40 and T20)
Overseas players: Trent Copeland (Australia, until 8 June), Cameron White (Australia, for Twenty20)
How they did last season: Eighth in County Championship Division Two, sixth in CB40 Group C and sixth in FLt20 Midlands/Wales/West Group.
Season prospects: A truly dismal showing in 2012, particularly in white-ball cricket, prompted an honest appraisal, led by chief executive David Smith and first-team coach David Ripley, of where the county are now and what they want to be in the future. Matthew Spriegel and Steven Crook have been signed to bolster a predominantly young squad, with much hoped of Rob Newton, David Willey, Ben Duckett and Ollie Stone. Ripley's top priority is to be competitive in all forms of the game, and a run to Twenty20 finals day would please both supporters and the holders of the purse strings.
One to watch: Fast bowler Ollie Stone impressed good judges with his pace and control last season and captained England Under-19s in South Africa during the winter. Only 19, he will need some careful handling, but if the Norfolk-born prospect stays fit, he could make a major impact.
By BBC Radio Northampton's Andrew Radd
Captain: Chris Read
Overseas players: Ed Cowan (Australia, start of season), David Hussey (Australia, from June, including Twenty20)
How they did last season: Fifth in County Championship Division One, fourth in CB40 group, FL t20 quarter-finalists
Season prospects: Nottinghamshire's strength in depth was severely tested towards the end of the 2012 campaign, with six players being called away for England duty. While the likelihood is that the international calendar will again cause clashes with the domestic programme, director of cricket Mick Newell believes his squad is better equipped to withstand occasional absenteeism from his star names. The bookmakers agree, listing Notts as second favourites for both the County Championship and the T20.
One to watch: Michael Lumb. His first season at Trent Bridge could not have gone much better, with 971 first-class runs, despite missing the last two matches, and a prolific white-ball season, which saw him restored to the England Twenty20 side before becoming the leading scorer in last October's Champions League. More of the same is expected in 2013.
By BBC Radio Nottingham's Dave Bracegirdle
Captain: Marcus Trescothick.
Overseas players: Alviro Petersen (for first half of season and FL t20), Abdur Rehman (five Championship games and possibly FL t20).
How they did last season: Second in the County Championship Division One, third in CB40 group, losing semi-finalists in FL t20.
Season prospects: Falling at the final hurdle has become something of a problem for Somerset in recent seasons and their 'bridesmaid' reputation led to Brian Rose stepping down as director of cricket. His replacement is Dave Nosworthy and the county are hoping a fresh approach may be the missing piece in their trophy puzzle. The likely absence, on England duty, of Nick Compton for much of the Championship season will be a blow, but if they can avoid the injuries which blighted them last year, a squad including Marcus Trescothick, Jos Buttler, Pete Trego, Craig Kieswetter, Alfonso Thomas and Steve Kirby has plenty to offer.
One to watch: The Overton twins, Craig and Jamie, and Craig Meschede were just three of the club's youngsters to make a mark last season, but 20-year-old Ireland spinner George Dockrell took 34 wickets Championship wickets in just 10 matches and will hope to better that if he avoids injury.
By BBC Radio Bristol's Ed Hadwin
Captain: Graeme Smith
Overseas players: Graeme Smith (South Africa); Ricky Ponting (Australia, while Smith is at Champions Trophy)
How they did last season: Seventh in Championship Division One, second in CB 40 group, sixth in FL t20 group.
Season prospects: After a difficult 2012, Surrey have recruited well over the winter and the signing of Graeme Smith is one that has caught the imagination. Smith will bring his leadership and experience to the dressing room and plenty of runs to the top of the order. Vikram Solanki and Gary Keedy are shrewd signings and both will play a major role this year. The bowling unit looks very strong, with all bases covered, and the likes of Rory Burns and Arun Harinath will want to build on an excellent 2012, in which both scored maiden Championship centuries - and a certain Ricky Ponting will play for Surrey in June and July. They look to have a balanced squad and will want to make an impact in all three competitions.
One to watch: I'm going for two, Rory Burns and Arun Harinath. Burns seized his opportunity last year at the top of the order and scored his runs in a stylish and attractive manner. Burns will be looking to forge a successful partnership with Smith and learn from the captain's vast experience. For Harinath, 2012 was a breakthrough season and he will want to push on this year and provide the 'cement' to the Surrey batting order.
By BBC London 94.9's Mark Church
Captain: Ed Joyce
Overseas players: Steve Magoffin (Australia), Scott Styris (New Zealand, for FL t20 only)
How they did last season: Fourth in County Championship Division One, semi-finalists in CB40 and FL t20.
Season prospects: There is quiet optimism on the south coast that Sussex can continue their progress from last season and again mount a serious challenge on all three fronts. Ed Joyce, in his first full season in charge, will drop down the order to number four in the Championship, allowing highly promising left-hander Luke Wells to open. With the under-rated Chris Nash as the other opener and Mike Yardy at three, the Sussex top order has a solid look, and the return of Rory Hamilton-Brown from Surrey adds an extra dimension to the middle order. The seam bowling department, which too often last season was reliant on Steve Magoffin, has been strengthened by the signing of Chris Jordan, who found opportunities limited at Surrey, but how much success Sussex enjoy may depend on how much time spinner Monty Panesar spends on England duty.
One to watch: Chris Jordan has impressed during pre-season and, provided he can steer clear of the injuries which have so far disrupted his career, Sussex have a genuinely quick bowler and hard-hitting batsman capable of making a huge impact this summer.
By BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms
Captain: Jim Troughton
Overseas players: Jeetan Patel (New Zealand)
How they did last season: County champions, CB 40 finalists, fourth in Midlands/Wales/West Group in FL t20.
Season prospects: Warwickshire's strength in securing their seventh title last summer was the simple art of being able to bowl out the opposition twice. Five of their six wins - four of which came crucially in the first six games of the season - were achieved batting second and there is nothing to suggest they will be less of a force with the ball in 2013. The only concern is potential England calls in a busy Ashes summer, which also contains the Champions Trophy in June, but they managed pretty well in 2012 without Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell and Chris Woakes. Now, they have leading wicket taker Chris Wright, top scorer Varun Chopra and all-rounder Rikki Clarke in the England frame as well, but the Bears still have strength in depth.
One to watch: Oliver Hannon-Dalby may have been surplus to requirements with his native Yorkshire, but the Bears have spotted something in the tall seamer to suggest that he could be the latest to roll off the production line at highly-acclaimed bowling coach Graeme Welch's Edgbaston finishing school. Judging by his nine-wicket match haul against the Oxford students, keep a look out too for another fast bowler, youngster Tom Milnes.
By BBC Midlands Sport's Ged Scott
Captain: Daryl Mitchell
Overseas players: Thilan Samaraweera (Sri Lanka), Jacob Oram (New Zealand, for FL t20)
How they did last season: Bottom of County Championship Division One (relegated), bottom of CB 40 group, FL t20 quarter-finalists.
Season prospects: Despite managing to stay up in 2011 for the first time since the introduction of two-division County Championship cricket, Worcestershire were always punching above their weight. For a county with such meagre resources, relegation last summer looked inevitable from early season when they paid for the loss of Gareth Andrew, who missed seven games, and main strike bowler Alan Richardson, who still chipped in with 57 wickets. By season's end, they had lost Surrey-bound Vikram Solanki too, but they hope overseas signings Thilan Samaraweera, who is available for the whole summer, and Twenty20 specialist Jacob Oram can trigger something in Steve Rhodes' young team.
One to watch: Ben Cox was a 17-year-old schoolboy when he made a half-century and claimed Marcus Trescothick as his first scalp on his first-class debut at Taunton in September 2009. Having now learned his trade - and, with a former England wicket-keeper like Rhodes as his coach, he will not have gone short on advice - the release of Ben Scott late last summer may have signalled the moment that Cox was deemed ready to be Worcestershire's first-choice keeper, assuming he sees off the challenge of Australian Michael Johnson.
By BBC Midlands Sport's Ged Scott
Captain: Andrew Gale
Overseas players: None, although they are looking to re-sign David Miller (South Africa) for the limited-overs matches
How they did last season: Second in County Championship Division Two (promoted), fifth in Group C in CB40, beaten finalists in FL t20.
Season prospects: It is a big jump up from Division Two but Yorkshire have recruited well, especially in the seam bowling department as Liam Plunkett and Jack Brooks are both decent performers at this level. The club will be pleased to see batsmen Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Gary Ballance getting England recognition, but it is bittersweet given that it means they night not be available for parts of the season. Their absence will give Joe Sayers and Alex Lees a chance to stake a claim in the team and it will be interesting to see how they do. It would be wonderful if Yorkshire could win the title in their 150th year, but that is the stuff of fairytales really and, in reality, I think they will come third or fourth.
One to watch: Adam Lyth started the 2011 season in fantastic form and was the first player in the country to reach 1,000 runs. He has struggled since then and this is a big year for him. Given his chance he could really sparkle and might prove to be vital.
By BBC Radio Leeds' Dave Callaghan
Compiled by Paul Grunill. | The new county cricket season gets under way on Wednesday with Warwickshire looking to repeat last summer's Championship triumph | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "21874992"} | 5,779 | 24 | 0.377326 | 0.902273 | 0.026826 | 1.85 | 243.65 | 0.85 |
When he was about 18 months old, he was diagnosed with toddler diarrhoea, put on a low-fibre diet and his mum Caroline was told he would grow out of the problem.
But the diarrhoea continued and so did the accidents.
"He would go to nursery with a bag of spare clothes because he had two or three accidents a day," Caroline says.
"As he got older he started to realise that wasn't normal."
With no sign of any improvement after almost two years, Caroline sought a second opinion and Jack was diagnosed with chronic constipation. The diarrhoea had just been a symptom of a more serious underlying problem.
Finally, with advice from children's continence charity ERIC, Jack was put on a course of medication which helped to clear the contents of his bowel and then a dose which would help to keep his system moving in the future.
Within two or three months, his mum says, he was "all clear", just in time for starting primary school in Wiltshire, but they had been dealing with a misdiagnosis for nearly two years.
One particular incident brought it home to Caroline just how awful Jack's problem had become and how traumatic it felt for him.
"He'd locked himself in the toilet with one of his baby brother's nappies and was trying to put it on..."
Constipation in children is not unusual - children's continence charity ERIC says between 5% and 30% of children suffer from it, yet parents complain that the condition often goes unrecognised.
It says GPs are failing to diagnose the problem properly and not referring to a specialist when they should - and sometimes the advice they give is wrong.
Rhia Weston, from ERIC, says children should be encouraged to drink more water, prescribed a laxative to clear them out and then put on a 'maintenance dose'.
Changing their diets and adding more fibre may work, but it is not going to solve everything.
"More often it's to do with dehydration because the child is not drinking enough at school and is possibly holding on and not going to the toilet at school," she says.
"Or it may be caused by a fever or medication. They can experience one painful poo and then it becomes a vicious cycle of not wanting to go."
Although constipation can be caused by physical problems too, she said it was important to make sure children got a decent amount of exercise and had a toilet routine in place - for example, sitting on the toilet 20 minutes after each meal.
Dr Anton Emmanuel, consultant neuro-gastroenterologist at University College London, agrees that traditionally the emphasis has been on increasing fibre intake.
"But that doesn't work for everyone. If people have tried that and it doesn't work, they need to try something else," he says.
One new therapy - called biofeedback - focuses on re-training the body's functions to work normally, rather than relying on the laxative effect of drugs.
Biofeedback uses special sensors connected to computers to measure bodily functions, even ones we are not aware of, and this information helps patients find out how their bodies are actually working.
By retraining the pelvic floor and sphincter to work the right way, the idea is that normal bowel control can be re-learnt and restored.
Dr Emmanuel explains: "Therapies have failed because the pelvic floor is tightly shut. People avoid loos, they hold on, and so the pelvic floor doesn't relax."
He says that, over three or four biofeedback sessions, people can see improvements by doing pelvic floor exercises, among others.
Tammie Cherry, from Kent, has experienced the positive effects of biofeedback after nearly 30 years of suffering with chronic constipation, which often led to painful stomach cramps and terrible episodes of diarrhoea.
She first noticed the problems around the age of 10 but was told she would grow out of it if she ate more fibre in her diet - but that didn't work.
She was eventually referred to St Mark's Hospital in Harrow and treated at the Biofeedback Unit. After two months of a tailored diet while following specific stomach exercises, she had normal bowel movements and some control over her life again.
"I can go shopping now, sit down on a bus and go out of the house without being caught short - and I've got no chronic pain. It's fantastic."
Constipation is the second or third most common reason among potty-trained children for going to see the GP, but Dr Emmanuel says it's important to look more deeply.
"Constipation is just a symptom. It can mean different things in different people. We must understand the mechanism of the individual because it's not the same for everyone."
Caroline describes how they had to help Jack retrain his body how to poo which led to a battle of wills and many, many tears.
Now that he is five years old, in Reception class, and in a good toilet routine, he is a very different boy, his mum explains.
"Physically he is much more content and, because his body is working better, he is happier."
Looking back, Caroline knows that with a correct, early diagnosis and some proper support Jack's early years should have been very different. | Caroline's greatest fear was that her son Jack would have no control over his bowels when he started school. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35846351"} | 1,206 | 26 | 0.444082 | 1.300165 | -0.71816 | 1 | 49.904762 | 0.809524 |
Godden's double sandwiched Jack King's strike as the hosts earned a seventh win in eight games.
Boro are now sixth in the table, three points behind third-placed Carlisle, but County drop down to third-from-bottom, five points ahead of Leyton Orient.
Stevenage led in just the third minute after a corner was taken shot to Steven Schumacher, whose cross gave Godden the simple task of heading into the top corner.
Veteran goalkeeper Chris Day, in the side due to Jamie Jones' suspension, maintained their lead by first sharply saving Shola Ameobi's header then Jon Stead's rebound.
The hosts doubled their advantage on the hour as Godden flicked on a long ball into the path of captain King, who finished calmly into the bottom corner.
Two minutes later the match was finished as a contest as Ben Kennedy played Godden through and he held his nerve to strike his 20th goal of the season.

Stephen Longfellow, from Leeds, was last seen on Sunday when he spoke with walkers in Llanfihangel y Pennant, Gwynedd.
Police found his car close to the Tryfan mountain and are concentrating their search there.
The hunt will cover areas with crevices, dips and gullies for as long as there is light on Friday.
Mr Longfellow's family have travelled to Snowdonia and are being supported by officers.
North Wales Police said he had indicated he intended to go walking at Tryfan or the Snowdon Horseshoe route.

The US ITC upheld a 2011 decision which found that Samsung had infringed Apple patents in the production of mobile phones, media players and tablets.
The US ITC has ordered that Samsung devices affected by the ruling are banned from the US.
But that ban is on hold while US President Barack Obama reviews the decision.
The President has 60 days to assess the US ITC's findings, although analysts say he is unlikely to overturn the commission's decision.
"We are disappointed that the ITC has issued an exclusion order based on two of Apple's patents," Samsung said in a statement.
"The proper focus for the smartphone industry is not a global war in the courts, but fair competition in the marketplace."
Apple hailed the decision, placing it in the context of the tech giants' global patent battles.
"With today's decision, the ITC has joined courts around the world in Japan, Korea, Germany, Netherlands and California by standing up for innovation and rejecting Samsung's blatant copying of Apple's products," said the company.
The ruling applies to two patents.
The first is the so-called "Steve Jobs patent", named after the company's founder, which involves touch-screen technology.
The other patent is related to the audio socket on devices.
"It's another significant victory for Apple," intellectual property analyst Florian Mueller told the BBC, "especially because the famous Steve Jobs patent is a pretty foundational patent."
Four other patent infringements asserted by Apple were turned down by the US ITC.
Apple and Samsung have been fighting patent battles for years and across 10 countries.
The fight has escalated after Samsung overtook Apple last year to become the global leader in smartphone sales.
In Washington on Friday, a federal appeals judge heard testimony in a separate patent case between the two companies relating to a decision last year, in which Samsung was found to owe Apple $1bn (£645m) for infringing on patents.
That penalty was later struck to $450m, but Apple appealed against the ruling. A verdict in that case has not yet been issued.
Separately, last weekend President Obama issued the first presidential veto in 26 years relating to a US ITC decision.
That veto overturned a ban on older models of Apple's iPhones and iPads because of its "effect on competitive conditions in the US economy".
Friday's ruling is widely seen as a victory for the company.
"In a way. the noose is tightening. Apple step by step actually is gaining leverage against Samsung," says Mr Mueller. | Apple has won a key patent case against rival Samsung at the US International Trade Commission (US ITC). | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "23643700"} | 575 | 23 | 0.577332 | 1.396072 | 0.104298 | 1 | 24.428571 | 0.714286 |
The Tees Valley Airshow will take place on 29 August at Durham Tees Valley airport for the first time since 1989.
The show, which will also see a live music event on the night, is being organised by Skylive Events and the Peel Group, which operates the airport.
Chris Petty, from Skylive Events, said he was "excited" to put on a "fantastic airshow" for the region which will be a "full family day out".
Mr Petty said: "It's going to be fantastic for the whole region - for local businesses, local charities, we're going to get everybody involved because it's the region's airshow.
"We want to improve on it year on year, this isn't just a one-off event."

The fleet included fishing boats and coastguard ships, Japan says, and three vessels appeared to be armed. Officials have protested to Chinese diplomats.
The reported incident occurred near the Japan-controlled disputed islands, known as the Senkaku islands in Japan and the Diaoyu islands in China.
Beijing has been increasingly assertive about waters it believes are Chinese.
In a separate incident on Saturday, Chinese state media said fighter jets and bombers had completed a patrol of airspace above islands in the South China Sea, as part of combat training.
These islands are also disputed, but last month an international tribunal dismissed most of Beijing's claims in that sea.
China said it would ignore the decision.
A Japanese foreign ministry spokesman said the fleet's despatch to the East China Sea islands was a unilateral escalation of tension in the area.
How uninhabited islands soured China-Japan ties
Less than a decade ago, Tokyo and Beijing talked of jointly exploiting the resources of the East China Sea, the waterway that separates the two countries.
But since then tension has increased, particularly over the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, which are uninhabited.
Over recent years, China has sent an increasing number of ships towards the islands, in what appears to be an attempt to test Japan's resolve to defend them. | Japan says China has sailed a fleet of 230 vessels near Japanese-controlled waters in the East China Sea. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36996534"} | 293 | 26 | 0.633288 | 1.365074 | -0.284582 | 1.571429 | 12.142857 | 0.904762 |
The fund, generated by members of the Single Malt Club China (SMCC), will be used to buy rare and valuable malts for the Chinese market.
The initiative was announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon as she arrived in China for a trade mission.
Ms Sturgeon also revealed new figures showing food and drink exports to China totalled £85m last year.
During the mission, the first minister will open the SMCC's new Whisky Experience Centre in Beijing, which will showcase the malt whisky production process with photographs and items from distilleries.
It will also display single malts that are available in China.
The SMCC, which was set up in 2005, imported 60,000 bottles of Scotch last year.
The new £3m Whisky Investment Fund is expected to help lift that figure by another 20% over the next year.
Ms Sturgeon said: "The Single Malt Club China has worked hard to promote Scotch whisky for a decade and now has nearly 5,000 members throughout China.
"It also works with 31 of our distilleries, so the support for our industry is clear, and this fund will allow Chinese whisky connoisseurs to invest in some of Scotland's finest and rarest drams."
The move comes as Scotch whisky firms look to boost sales in China, which have been hit by an ongoing austerity campaign by the Chinese authorities.
According to figures released recently by the Scotch Whisky Association, direct exports to the country fell by 23% to £39m last year, making it Scotch's 26th largest market by value.
However, overall food and drink exports to China rose by 12% to £85m last year, according to new data announced by Ms Sturgeon.
Fish and seafood made up the bulk of exports, with £43m worth of products, followed by whisky (£39m), meat (£1.4m) and cereals (£1.1m).
During her trade visit, Ms Sturgeon will promote Scottish business, including hosting an "innovation showcase" for Scottish companies to meet with Chinese investors.

Under the plan, young people in England would make monthly payments equivalent to rent to build up a share in their home, without requiring a deposit.
After 30 years, occupants would gain full ownership of the property.
The announcement comes as the Lib Dems prepare to meet for a final time before the general election.
The party will gather for their spring conference in Liverpool on Friday, with leader Nick Clegg due to address activists on Sunday.
Housing is a key election issue, and the parties have made pledges to boost the supply of homes across the country and make home ownership more achievable.
Analysis by political correspondent Ross Hawkins in Liverpool
There is now ferocious competition for the votes of frustrated would-be first-time buyers, who will be able to choose between a series of competing schemes from politicians come the election.
The Liberal Democrats have unveiled a policy that they claim would be revolutionary: to aim to make 30,000 new homes a year in England available to tenants who would slowly acquire equity as they made monthly rental payments, until after 30 years they owned the property outright.
The party is as yet undecided as to how the government would help social enterprises and housing associations build homes on this basis, and has not said how much it would cost the taxpayer.
The Conservatives intend to expand a coalition scheme to provide 200,000 discounted starter homes for those buying for the first time; Labour say first-time buyers would get priority under their plans.
The Conservatives have promised to build 200,000 starter homes for first-time buyers in England under the age of 40, priced at 20% below the market rate.
Meanwhile, Labour wants to see 200,000 new homes built a year by 2020, including new towns and garden cities.
Announcing the Lib Dem housing policy, Mr Clegg said it would make home-ownership "a reality" for thousands of young people currently priced out of the market.
The party is aiming to deliver 30,000 rent-to-own homes by 2020 in partnership with housing associations and other organisations, if they remain in government after the general election.
Under the plan, occupants would have an option to cash-in their share at any time, which could potentially to be used as a deposit for a home on the open market.
"For working young people the dream of home ownership is increasingly out of reach," Mr Clegg said.
Summary of other parties' housing policies:
"Prices are so high renters cannot afford to save for a deposit, which means they can never take that first step onto the housing ladder.
"Young people deserve better. Rent-to-own will mean, regardless of their background and family circumstance, they will be able to make this dream a reality."
Mr Clegg told the Evening Standard that the idea would be among his party's "core" offers in its election manifesto, suggesting it had been held back to date by "small c and big c conservatism in Whitehall".
Social enterprise business Gentoo Group said the idea was modelled on a 2011 initiative it had successfully piloted in the north-east of England.
Peter Walls, the firm's chief executive, said rent-to-own was "a now-proven concept" which "has already unlocked homeownership for many that were excluded".
Ahead of the Lib Dem conference, the deputy prime minister has warned the party that it faces a "long, hard campaign" in the run-up to the 7 May poll.
In a foreword to the conference agenda, he said the meeting was a chance to "set out our vision for the country" but also "celebrate our achievements in coalition".
The conference will get underway on Friday with a rally addressed by general election co-ordinator and former leader Lord Ashdown.
It comes after the party's former head of fundraising, Ibrahim Taguri, had to step down as a party candidate after a newspaper claimed he had accepted a "potentially illegal donation", although Mr Taguri denies any wrongdoing. | The Lib Dems are promising to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder through a "rent-to-own homes" scheme, if they are in power in May. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "31867514"} | 865 | 41 | 0.557786 | 1.457576 | 0.040851 | 2.527778 | 22.055556 | 0.916667 |
The attack took place early on Thursday in a market place in Urumqi.
More than 90 other people were injured as attackers in two vehicles drove into crowds and threw explosives. One of the vehicles then blew up.
China called the attack a "violent terrorist incident", while the US called it an "outrageous act of violence against innocent civilians".
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said there was "no justification for the killing of civilians".
The latest information came from the state-run Global Times, which said it had "got information that five suspects who participated in the terrorist attack blew themselves up".
Police were investigating whether they had accomplices, the paper added. It was not clear whether the five were included in the death toll.
The BBC's John Sudworth, who is in Urumqi, said a heavy security presence had been deployed at the scene of the attack.
Some shops have opened again and there are a few signs of returning normality, but the shock over the brutality of what happened here remains, he says.
Why is there tension between China and the Uighurs?
With ranks of riot police now patrolling the area, local residents can be seen standing around, talking quietly to one another.
Some have friends and relatives who were killed or injured, run over by the cars that the attackers drove through the morning street market, or caught in the blast when one of the cars exploded, our correspondent adds.
Xinjiang, which is home to the Muslim Uighur minority, has seen a spate of attacks in recent years.
Beijing has blamed these - and other recent mass-casualty attacks - on Uighur separatists.
These include an attack in Beijing, where a car ploughed into pedestrians in Tiananmen Square, killing five people, and attacks at railway stations in Urumqi and Kunming.

Jack Price raced in the 1908 London Olympics before founding an athletics club still in existence today.
The runner, who died in 1965, has now been commemorated in his home town of Halesowen, West Midlands, following a campaign by his family.
Grandson Micky Whitehouse, 74, said: "It has been my sole ambition to get him recognised."
Born in 1884, Jack grew up in Shropshire but aged 17, walked 40 miles to Halesowen to find employment, landing a job at steelworks Stewarts & Lloyds.
"But he never stopped running," Mr Whitehouse, said.
"On a Sunday he'd run all the way to Shropshire to have breakfast with his mum and then get up and run back and have lunch with his family in Halesowen."
In 1908, trials for the Olympics were held and Jack took part in the Midlands heats from Coventry to West Bromwich - a distance of 25.5 miles.
"This was the first marathon held in England," said Bob Fowks, vice chairman of Halesowen Athletics Club.
"They altered the distance later so the royal family could see the finishing line."
Jack won in two hours, thirty-seven minutes and 13 seconds and was chosen for the 12-man United Kingdom team for the Olympic marathon, but despite leading for half the distance, he had to pull out in the 15th mile.
In 1910, he won Edinburgh's Powderhall Marathon in atrocious conditions with a time of two hours and 40 minutes.

Their main indexes closed down about 4% as the Spanish prime minister called for Thursday's European Union summit to "dispel doubts" about the euro.
Wall Street was also unnerved by the continuing crisis and the Dow Jones ended with a loss of 1.1%.
Earlier Spain formally requested a bailout loan for its banking sector.
Eurozone countries have agreed to lend up to 100bn euros ($125bn; £80bn) to Spain's banks.
No specific figures were given for the emergency loans, although independent audits last week said that the banks would need up to 62bn euros to stabilise themselves.
The falls in Spanish stocks were mirrored across Europe with France's Cac 40 down 2.2%, Germany's Dax down 1.9% and Italy's Mib down 4%.
The falls were exacerbated by a Reuters report that Moody's was planning to downgrade Spanish banks.
In another sign of the scale of the problems facing Europe, Cyprus has formally requested financial assistance from European authorities.
"The purpose of the required assistance is to contain the risks to the Cypriot economy, notably those arising from the negative spill over effects through its financial sector, due to its large exposure in the Greek economy," a government statement said.
Cyprus' three largest banks - Bank of Cyprus, Cyprus Popular Bank and Hellenic Bank - are heavily exposed to Greece.
Cyprus' request comes after its credit rating was cut to junk status by Fitch.
Cyprus' junk credit rating means it is almost impossible for it to borrow money from international markets, as it makes it too expensive for it to do so.

Fears are building that this week's two-day European Union summit could prove inconclusive.
"We must dispel doubts over the eurozone," said Spain's prime minister Mariano Rajoy.
"The single currency is, must be, irreversible," he said.
In addition, an auditor's visit scheduled for debt-stricken Greece has had to be postponed after both the Greek prime minister and incoming finance minister were affected by health problems.
A spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the delay meant no decision would be taken on Greece at the summit.
"Do not expect any decision on Greece at the European council," said Steffen Seibert.
Meanwhile, in another indication of the conflicts between European nations on the best way forward, Angela Merkel reiterated her opposition to calls to pool eurozone debt.
"There has to be a balance between guarantees and controls," she said.
IG Index analyst Chris Beauchamp blamed Chancellor Merkel's reluctance to share liability for eurozone debts for the share price falls.
"This was, is and will remain the fundamental issue in the crisis - Germany is understandably not keen on taking on the burden of debts built up by (as it sees it) spendthrift countries," he said.

The problems facing Europe's banks will be on the agenda at the summit of European leaders on 28 and 29 June.
The BBC's economics editor Stephanie Flanders said: "On difficult areas like banking union, officials are making more progress than anyone would have expected a month or two ago.
"But the Germans have succeeded in dramatically lowering expectations for what could be achieved by Friday."
Draft documents prepared for the meeting, which have been reported by news agencies, detail proposals for a single European banking supervisor and a common scheme for guaranteeing bank deposits.
There would also be a central fund to wind down bad banks.
Options for the regulator include having one body, possibly the European Central Bank, to oversee the continent's biggest banks, while another watchdog supervises the day-to-day operations of all the banks.
The proposals also include closer fiscal union, with the prospect of eurozone countries sharing debt raised again. | Spanish and Italian shares have fallen sharply amid fears that an EU summit this week will again fail to produce a deal to shore up the euro. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "18577951"} | 847 | 31 | 0.456175 | 1.059774 | 0.469083 | 0.928571 | 26.892857 | 0.642857 |
The Dubai Financial Market closed down 7%, while the Saudi exchange also lost 7% after Fitch ratings agency cut its outlook for the country.
Last week, the Dow Jones in the US fell 6%, while the UK's FTSE 100 posted its biggest weekly loss this year of 5%.
Investors are concerned about a slowdown in China and the knock-on effects for the global economy.
Both France's Cac 40 and Germany's Dax indexes lost 7% of their value last week.
In the Middle East, there is particular concern about low oil prices, which are down by more than a half this year and have been falling steadily since May, when Brent Crude stood at $68 a barrel. A barrel now costs $45.
This is mainly due to an abundance of supply, in large part from from US shale oil producers, which are weakening OPEC's once dominant position in global oil markets. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are all members of OPEC.
Moods were further dampened by a report from Fitch which cut the agency's outlook on Saudi Arabia from "stable" to "negative". The move reflects concerns about the future of the country's finances, which are heavily dependent on revenues from exporting oil.
These worries come against a backdrop of falling global stock markets, reflecting widespread fears about the pace of the slowdown in the Chinese economy.
On Friday, figures from the world's second largest economy showed that factory activity in August shrank at its fastest pace in more than six years.
The data triggered another sell-off in Chinese shares, which ended the day down more than 4%, and 12% on the week.
Earlier this month, the country's central bank announced measures to devalue the country's currency, the yuan, seen widely as a move to help Chinese exports - a weaker yuan makes Chinese goods cheaper overseas.
This came after official figures showed the country's economic growth continuing to slow. For the three months to the end of July, the economy grew by 7% compared with a year earlier - its slowest pace since 2009. | Stock markets in the Middle East have fallen sharply after a difficult week for all major global share indexes. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34032776"} | 475 | 25 | 0.467661 | 1.055098 | 0.314355 | 1.45 | 21.15 | 0.75 |
In a game that was a pale shadow of previous meetings between these two Premier League superpowers, Liverpool had the better chances and United keeper David de Gea kept his side in it with fine saves from Adam Lallana and Emre Can.
Jurgen Klopp's side wasted other opportunities and paid the price 12 minutes from time when Rooney fired United's first shot on target high past Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet after Marouane Fellaini's header came back off the bar.
Van Gaal's position had been under scrutiny after only two wins in United's previous 11 games - but victory at Anfield is the perfect tonic and his team are now in fifth, just two points off the Champions League places.

Rooney's status as United and England's main man is often questioned - but once again he proved he remains, along with the outstanding De Gea, one of Van Gaal's most crucial players.
The 30-year-old lifelong Evertonian relishes winning at Anfield, and his delight was plain to see after he hammered home his first goal here since January 2005.

It was further proof he is undergoing a rejuvenation after criticism earlier this season, scoring twice in the 3-3 draw at Newcastle United and the winning goals in the FA Cup third-round victory against Sheffield United and the league match with Swansea City.
The question may be asked again soon - but there is still no evidence to suggest the Red Devils are a better side without Rooney than with him.
Liverpool have shown signs of promise in two big games at Anfield this week - but only earned a point against Arsenal with an injury-time equaliser and were beaten here.
Klopp is still trying to impose his "gegenpressing" style on Liverpool and it has worked better away - in impressive wins at Chelsea, Manchester City, Southampton and Stoke City - than it has at Anfield.
Liverpool were arguably the better team here but once again demonstrated a vulnerability to crosses and ran out of steam badly towards the end. The philosophy will not bear fruit until his defenders can clear a cross.
The struggles Klopp faces are summed up by the fact that, for the second game running, he was reduced to throwing defender Steven Caulker, a loan signing from QPR, on as a late substitute in attack.
The German has much work to do.
Tongue in cheek, perhaps - but this was a far cry from the thunderous collisions between Liverpool and Manchester United when Scousers such as Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher faced local products Gary and Phil Neville, as well as Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
Anfield, not helped by the lack of quality on offer, was subdued and the aggression that used to be this fixture's hallmark flared only briefly in a couple of early skirmishes involving Liverpool's Lucas and United midfielder Fellaini.

This was every inch a game between sides sitting sixth and ninth in the Premier League before kick-off.
It may have even come as a disappointment to Klopp after the build-up and the history. He called these games "the salt in the soup" - this one needed an awful lot of seasoning.
United's Jesse Lingard, born in Warrington, was as close to local as it got in the starting line-ups - and perhaps that explains the lack of fire and brimstone that used to be a starting point in these confrontations.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "I didn't see too many chances for Manchester United and we didn't take ours. Of course it is frustrating. We lost a game that we should not have lost.
"The goal was to defend and we didn't do it. That is our responsibility. We have to defend set pieces better.
"We did really well creating the chances, but there were a lot of situations where we could have created more chances and didn't. There were a lot of positive things but we lost in a derby against Manchester United."
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "We know Wayne Rooney has played for Everton and now plays for United so he wants to score against Liverpool, it means a lot for him.
"We have made a good start in 2016, to beat Liverpool for the second time in a row is it marvellous, it gives a big boost for the players and the fans so I hope it shall continue with winning.
"That is why we are here, to win our games and at end of the season to be in the first three positions of the league."
Liverpool are hoping to avoid another home defeat - and an embarrassing FA Cup exit - when they host Exeter in a third-round replay on Wednesday.
United are safely into the fourth round already, meaning they are not back in action until Saturday. Van Gaal's side welcome 10th-placed Southampton to Old Trafford in the Premier League.

The announcement was made as Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! premiered on US TV on Wednesday on the Syfy channel.
It ended with a piece of space shuttle hurtling towards April, played by Tara Reid, and the caption: "You decide if #AprilLives or #AprilDies".
Sharknado 3 will premiere on Syfy in the UK on Thursday.
As the film reached its cliffhanger, a voice-over informed US fans they would find out the outcome of the Twitter vote and April's fate in a fourth instalment of the franchise.
"Now's your chance to be part of Sharknado history," it said, "You decide if April lives or April dies.
"Her fate will be revealed in Sharknado 4. Because we're not done yet!"
Reid confessed the twist came as a surprise to her too, telling the Hollywood Reporter: "That was a shocker! I didn't expect that!"
"I think that's going to be a big turning point for the franchise. It gives it some excitement, and it's giving the fans a chance to interact.
"No matter what happens, I'm proud to be a part of this phenomenon."
After the first two films saw a tornado of sharks hitting first LA and then New York, Sharknado 3 sees the action moving to Washington and Florida.
The made-for-television disaster film also stars Ian Ziering as Fin and David Hasselhoff as Fin's dad, as well as cameos from Jerry Springer, Bo Derek and former X Factor stars Jedward, who recorded the theme song.
The Sharknado franchise has taken social media by storm, with the first two films generating more than a billion tweets between them. Sharknado producer, Chris Regina, hopes this latest stunt will prove just as engaging.
"I'm hoping that we're going to break the internet this time with the "April lives, April dies" at the end," Regina told Hollywood Reporter.
"I think it's going to be precedent-setting. I can't think of an instance where another network has done something of that nature at the end of an event. Hopefully it's a TV first."
But despite fans' interest in the franchise, it has yet to win over the critics.
"Having now watched "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" I find myself in the position of having to write about it. And I am not sure which is worse, really, or even how to proceed," said Robert Lloyd, writing in the LA Times.
The Telegraph's reviewer Michael Hogan found the film, "so self-referential and in-jokey that the franchise is in grave danger of eating itself."
He added: "It frequently felt more like Victoria Wood's wobbly-setted soap spoof Acorn Antiques than a proper production."
IGN's Matt Fowler writes that it is "often shockingly awful" and concludes: "Sharknado 3 is bad, as it should be. As it must be.
"I only wonder how much time we're all willing to devote to something that's now totally awful by demand."
Fans can vote for what they want to see happen in Sharknado 4 on Twitter or on Syfy's dedicated website.

Michael Lane denies murdering Shana Grice, 19, who was found with her throat slit in her torched bedroom.
Lewes Crown Court heard he stalked the teenager after she renewed a relationship with a former boyfriend.
Emma King told jurors her housemate woke one night to find Mr Lane looming over her bed.
A phone conversation the day after between the former couple was played to the court, in which the victim asked why he had taken the key.
Mr Lane, 27, replied: "I wanted to see you and to talk to you. I knew you would not let me in."
"You could have flipped at any point... I think it's so wrong... You could have done anything... While I'm sleeping, it's just weird," Ms Grice responded.
Mr Lane said: "I'm sorry I'm just not right in the head, if I was I would not have done that."
He was arrested later that day and given a police caution.
Ms King said following the incident, they bolstered security at their house in Portslade, East Sussex, and changed all the locks.
The prosecution asserts Mr Lane was "obsessed" with Miss Grice and slit the teenager's throat before setting fire to her bedroom in Chrisdory Road in August.
The court heard the defendant, of Thornhill Rise, Portslade, refused to accept their break-up and had decided no-one else would be allowed to form a relationship with Miss Grice.
Ms King said he often followed her former housemate and added: "Shana said that he was bothering her, that he liked her and kept texting her and would not leave her alone."

Fairweather defeated his fellow Irish amateur international Tiarnon McLarnon and Irish Boys international Mulligan in a play-off to win the amateur event.
With Mulligan the leading Under-18, he also earns an NI Open spot.
Fairweather's win came four days after he lost in the North of Ireland Final.
The Belfast man shot rounds of 72 and 74 to tie on four-over 146 with McLarnon (77, 69) and Mulligan (69,77).
Fairweather was leading by one playing the final hole in the 36-hole strokeplay event but lost his ball off the tee.
The 26-year-old eventually made a bogey six to force a play-off with Massereene's 2015 winner McLarnon and Mulligan.
The new champion didn't make the same mistake in sudden death after hitting a long drive down the fairway before firing a seven-iron onto the green to set up a two-putt birdie from 20 feet.
McLarnon missed a five-footer for his birdie, while Mulligan lost a ball off the tee, and though he still managed a par it was Fairweather who took the spoils.
"My putting wasn't up to scratch but I struck the ball very well and still managed to get it round. I'm over the moon to win here today and claim a place in the NI Open," said Fairweather, who will now tee it up alongside the professionals in the Galgorm Resort & Spa-sponsored Northern Ireland Open from 10-13 August.
Although Mulligan lost out in the play-off, the 17-year-old had already secured the second NI Open place up for grabs for the leading under-18.
"It's great, I came here to secure the under-18 invite," said the Leinster player, who also represented Great Britain & Ireland Boys in the Jacques Leglise Trophy in 2016.

The visitors made the perfect start when Dorrans' drive deflected in off Ben Heneghan in the fourth minute.
The impressive Josh Windass hit the post and bar, but Motherwell responded and Heneghan headed in at the far post.
Louis Moult's careless elbow on Fabio Cardoso allowed Dorrans to convert the penalty, but Ryan Bowman and Alex Fisher missed chances to equalise.
The hosts remain without a league victory against Rangers since Boxing Day 2002, that sorry sequence now extending to 38 matches.
In what was an engrossing game, Rangers had a dream start when they scored after only four minutes. Bruno Alves crossed deftly for Kenny Miller, who headed it down for Dorrans, making his league debut for Pedro Caixinha's men, to drive home his first of the day.
Motherwell were a calamity at the back last season, conceding more goals than any other team bar relegated Inverness. They had to hang on to avoid going another one behind in the early minutes at Fir Park.
Rangers were full of running, repeatedly got in behind their hosts and threatened every time they poured forward, which was often.
Windass was terrific on the left. Motherwell didn't have a notion what to do about him. In the 20th minute he scampered free, beat a couple of men and curled a gorgeous shot on to Trevor Carson's post. Later, he saw another wonderful effort come slapping back off the crossbar.
By then, of course, Motherwell were level. This was a regular feature of Rangers' season last time around, an inability to force home their superiority and convert it into goals.
They had other chances but what they also had was a vulnerability down both flanks, particularly on their right where Lee Hodson toiled in the face of Elliott Frear.
Motherwell weathered the Rangers storm and started building their confidence. Moult volleyed one over, then Craig Tanner slid a half-chance wide.
The equaliser came just before the break when Alves conceded a needless free-kick which Tanner put in the box.
Rangers were all over the place in trying to deal with it. Wes Foderingham stood rooted to his line. None of his defenders took charge either. It was Heneghan's desire and desperation to get to the ball that counted, the big defender getting enough on a diving header to beat Foderingham.
In the midst of all of this Motherwell had a shout for a penalty when a Frear cross looked to come off Hodson's arm.
A penalty was awarded, but it didn't go to the hosts, it went to the visitors when Cardoso was elbowed in the side of the neck by Moult. Referee Bobby Madden was emphatic in pointing to the spot - and he was right. Dorrans took the penalty and he got it right, too.
Motherwell were always in this, though. Rangers' slackness in possession and frailty in defence guaranteed it.
From a Cadden delivery from the right, Bowman came painfully close to levelling it again. With four minutes left, Rangers had to scramble again when Fisher pounced on a loose ball just outside the six-yard box only to see his shot deflect away for a corner off Foderingham. It was a glorious chance.
Rangers saw it out for a hard-fought and desperately needed win. For Pedro Caixinha, relief that they didn't buckle in the end-game. For Stephen Robinson, frustration but also some optimism. Fine game, fine margin.

The presidential hopeful wrote in his 1996 autobiography, Gifted Hands, that he had been offered a full scholarship by the prestigious school.
But the academy said it had no record of an application from Mr Carson.
His team has denied that he lied about West Point, saying the academy effectively offered him a place.
In his book, Mr Carson recalls a meeting in 1969 when he was a high school student in Detroit enrolled in the ROTC programme, which provides preliminary officer training for students.
Then 17 years old, he dined with the decorated general, William Westmoreland, and says in his book that a "full scholarship" was subsequently offered.
Whether any of this will adversely affect Mr Carson's standing in the Republican presidential race is an open question.
The retired neurosurgeon has made condemnations of the media and "PC culture" a standard part of his campaign rhetoric, so he may already be immunised against perceived attacks from the mainstream press.
In last week's Republican debate on CNBC, a moderator who pressed Mr Carson to respond to allegations that he had close ties to a controversial nutrition supplement company was roundly booed by the partisan audience.
"They know," Mr Carson concluded. And they very well may continue to stand by their man.
The bizarro-world of Carson denials
But his campaign team on Friday, after inquiries by Politico, said he never applied to join the academy and the scholarship assertion was based on "conversations" he had.
"His senior commander was in touch with West Point and told Dr Carson he could get in, Dr Carson did not seek admission," campaign spokesman Doug Watts told Reuters in an email.
The confusion comes as other parts of Mr Carson's personal story related in his book have also been questioned.
He has stood by his assertion in the autobiography that in his youth he was prone to sudden violent rages that he has overcome as an adult.
In one episode, he lunged with a knife at a close friend but fortunately struck his friend's belt buckle.
The retired neurosurgeon has made much of his struggling childhood while on the campaign trail.
Mr Carson is the joint frontrunner in the Republican presidential race with businessman Donald Trump, who wasted no time in capitalising on the latest story.
Mr Trump tweeted: "Wow, one of many lies by Ben Carson! Big story." | Republican Ben Carson has admitted that he never applied to join the US military academy at West Point, despite implications in his book that he had. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34748996"} | 537 | 32 | 0.500394 | 1.457755 | 0.412168 | 2.535714 | 16.678571 | 0.821429 |
Arlene Foster was enterprise minister when she set up the botched RHI scheme in 2012.
A lack of cost controls left taxpayers facing an unexpected £490m bill.
Sinn Féin, the UUP and SDLP have called on Mrs Foster to step down after her Democratic Unionist Party released RHI letters she wrote to banks in 2013.
Mrs Foster has been criticised over the scheme's over-generous subsidies, which were greater than the cost of the fuel and meant the more claimants burned, the more public money they could earn.
In her letter to the Ulster Bank, dated 7 January 2013, Mrs Foster said she was "writing to encourage you to look favourably on approaches from businesses that are seeking finance to install renewable technologies".
"The government support, on offer through the incentive schemes, is reliable, long term and offers a good return on investment."
Her letter also added: "Tariffs are 'grandfathered' providing certainty for investors by setting a guaranteed support level for projects for their lifetime in a scheme, regardless of future reviews."
The existence of Mrs Foster's RHI letters to banks was reported by the Sunday World, but their contents were not public knowledge until her correspondence was released to the News Letter by the DUP on Thursday.
Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader Mike Nesbitt said his party had asked that the letters be released under a Freedom of Information request and he claimed the correspondence "now appears to have been leaked by the DUP".
Mr Nesbitt said Mrs Foster had played a "central role" in setting up the RHI scheme and accused her of "incompetence".
"Aside from the important question of the propriety of the DUP releasing government papers, the letter makes clear that Mrs Foster was across every important detail, or 'jot and tittle' of RHI, and wrote to the banks to inform them that in terms of the 20 years of the RHI subsidy, the only way was up, in that the levels were guaranteed to be adjusted only to account for inflation."
The health minister, Michelle O'Neill of Sinn Féin, called on the first minister to "stand aside to facilitate an independent investigation" into the RHI scheme.
"Revelations that Arlene Foster had written to banks asking them to support the RHI scheme is further evidence of the need for an independent, time-framed, robust and transparent investigation into the whole RHI debacle," she added.
"That investigation should be undertaken by an independent judicial figure from outside this jurisdiction and be appointed by the Attorney General.
"Arlene Foster should stand aside to facilitate that judicial led investigation until it brings forward a preliminary report.
"This is what is required to restore public confidence in the assembly and the political institutions."
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood also urged Mrs Foster to "stand aside" as first minister, pending a public inquiry into the RHI scheme.
"I am again urging the first minister - abide by the will of the assembly," he said.
"Listen to the will of the public. Stand aside and begin to restore faith in our institutions."
Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) leader Jim Allister said: "With the release of the 7th January 2013 letters to banks from Arlene Foster, it turns out Mrs Foster was actively promoting the scheme with banks so that they would lend to those installing RHI boilers.
"This points to a far greater ministerial attachment to this scheme than hitherto has been admitted.
"Moreover, as these letters stressed the long term security of the tariffs - guaranteeing the tariffs would be exempt from downward movement - it further underscores ministerial knowledge and satisfaction with that situation - to the detriment of the taxpayer."
Mr Allister added that the need for a "full judicial inquiry is more imperative than ever".
In a statement on Friday, a spokesman for the Department for Economy said that when Mrs Foster wrote to the banks in January 2013, the statement about the non-domestic RHI "was entirely consistent with the department's [DETI] then understanding, ie. that the rate of return would be at a level of 12%.
"At that time, the department [DETI] had not recognised the much higher rate of return due to a misunderstanding that the tariff was lower than the market price.
"Indeed, action to encourage uptake was being considered as there was an underspend. Such action, including the letters to the banks, would have been entirely reasonable and appropriate, but for the design flaws in the scheme which had not been recognised by DETI at the time when these letters issued." | The first minister faces a renewed call to resign after it was revealed she wrote to banks encouraging support for the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38466327"} | 1,004 | 32 | 0.419727 | 1.072992 | 0.261289 | 1.576923 | 34.769231 | 0.730769 |
The Swiss six-time champion won 7-5 6-2, ensuring he will progress from the group stage with one match remaining.
Djokovic, winner of the past three season-ending titles in London, had won his previous 38 indoor matches.
The Serb will play Tomas Berdych in his final group match on Thursday and can still qualify for the last four.
Federer will play Japan's Kei Nishikori, who beat Berdych 7-5 3-6 6-3 in the afternoon session.
"It's always a thrill to come out here, even more so against a great player like Novak," said the 17-time Grand Slam champion.
"It's a special night for tennis, and a cool atmosphere."
The packed O2 Arena crowd of more than 17,000 spectators was largely behind Federer, as ever, but even the 34-year-old's most diehard fans must have been surprised by a straight-set win.
Djokovic, 28, had not been beaten anywhere since he lost to the Swiss in Cincinnati three months ago, and the world number one's last defeat at the O2 came in 2011.
His form dipped dramatically after a tight first set, with the Serb winning just 25% of points on his first serve and searching for his usual metronomic accuracy.
"You have those days when you are not feeling your best, not even close to the best," said Djokovic.
"Credit to Roger for mixing up the pace, giving me always a different ball. He used the slice and spin very wisely. He served very efficiently.
"I made a lot of, lot of unforced errors. I just handed him the win, especially in the second set."
Federer had to fend off a break point in the opening game but the next 40 minutes saw both men dominant on serve.
With a tie-break looming it was Federer who made the decisive move, missing a forehand on his first set point but playing a fabulous half-volley to convert the second.
A rash of attacking returns saw the Swiss move into a 2-0 lead in the second set but he then handed it straight back with an edgy service game.
The expected Djokovic fightback did not materialise though - instead the Serb played a dreadful service game and could only watch as a rasping Federer backhand made it 4-2, a lead he would not relinquish.
"The tactic was to mix it up, I have to against Djokovic," said Federer. "I hit it well out wide today. I knew it was an important serve to get Novak off the court."

Eighth seed Nishikori let an early lead slip and saved a break point in the deciding set before beating Berdych 7-5 3-6 6-3.
Berdych recovered from an error-strewn start that left him a set and a break down to move within sight of victory with a break point at 3-3 in the decider.
"I think it's been all about one point in the third set when I had the break point," said the Czech sixth seed.
"I had him on the run. The rally starts pretty well for me, but I was not able to break him. Then I lost my serve. Basically, that was it. That was the difference."
Nishikori said: "That was a really big point. He had three, four shots that he went really aggressive.
"I was on defence all the time. The last shot I kind of went for it, closed my eyes. I was a little bit lucky I made that shot."
In the doubles, Britain's Jamie Murray and Australian John Peers suffered their first defeat at the event in their second group match.
India's Rohan Bopanna and Florin Mergea of Romania won 6-3 7-6 (7-5) to secure the first semi-final place.
Murray and Peers won their opening round-robin match, so can still claim the second qualification spot.
They will take on Americans Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan in their final group match on Thursday.
"It's an exciting match to play," said Murray. "I guess we have to win if we want to try to stay in the competition.
"It will be nice to get out there and play with a full crowd again. They always bring a lot of energy to the court. We have to do the same if we want to try to win." | Roger Federer brought Novak Djokovic's three-year unbeaten run indoors to an end to secure a semi-final place at the ATP World Tour Finals. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34847462"} | 996 | 41 | 0.402532 | 0.949675 | 0.473264 | 1.37931 | 31.103448 | 0.758621 |
A survey of 26,000 people, carried out for HM Inspector of Constabulary, found 36% had not seen a police officer on patrol over a period of 12 months.
Another 23% said they had seen police on foot only once or twice over a year.
The public perception of police was "vitally important" in having the confidence to report crime, HM Inspector Mike Cunningham said.
"We will continue to work with forces to improve the way in which they engage with members of the public to ensure that people are confident in reporting crime," he added.
The study, conducted last summer but published for the first time on Wednesday, was carried out by Ipsos Mori on behalf of HM Inspectorate of Constabulary to monitor public views of policing.
The research also found that:
The study questioned people aged over 16 years across the 43 police forces in England and Wales, between 15 July and 6 August 2015.
Mr Cunningham added: "We commissioned this survey in order to inform our inspection programme and have already begun to use these findings to inform the questions we ask of police forces."
The BBC has asked the Home Office for a response.
Last October, chairwoman of the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) Sara Thornton, and Craig Mackey, deputy commissioner of the Met Police, said the era of routine patrols by "bobbies on the beat" had come to an end.
They also said funding cuts would lead to a transformation in investigating crime, but the Home Office said at the time police reform was working and crime was falling.

Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said women were being accepted after the military received "hundreds of letters" expressing interest in enrolling.
There will be 15 women in the first group, which starts training in October, Mr Shoigu said.
During WWII, Russian female pilots were known as "Stalin's Falcons". German troops called them "Night Witches".
This new generation of fighter pilots will be trained at the Krasnodar military aviation school, in the south of the country.

He curled a brilliant 38th-minute free-kick low into the bottom corner, but injured his hamstring in the process and limped off just two minutes later.

Shrewsbury entertain Championship Norwich in the third round.
The three-times League Cup winners appeared to lack urgency against the lower league opposition, whose goal only came under threat on a handful of occasions.
Riyad Mahrez, who was excellent for the Foxes towards the end of their promotion run last season, produced a fine save from Jayson Leutwiler, before the Swiss goalkeeper kept out Marcin Wesilewski's hooked volley.
Shrewsbury scored the only goal seven minutes before half-time, when Mangan struck a free-kick into the bottom corner.
But, even without Mangan, the League Two side also went close through James Collins, who forced a good save from Ben Hamer.
The former Charlton keeper also pushed an effort from left-back Demetriou over the bar.
Vernon's strike from 10 yards then came back off the woodwork before Demetriou scuffed his shot wide after being teed up by Collins. But the Town hung on to claim their first win on a Premier League ground.
Foxes manager Nigel Pearson told BBC Radio Leicester:
"They created chances and good luck to them, but my focus is on our performance and I expected better.
"We take cup competitions seriously and I'm annoyed with the fashion of our exit. We didn't show enough aggression and we need to strengthen.
"When you get disappointing results, you've got to look at how you go about using it as a learning experience. The players should understand by now exactly what is expected, and clearly tonight it wasn't enough."
Town manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire:

Derry were thumped 6-1 in the first leg of the first qualifying round tie between the sides last week.
"People talk about restoring pride but I am full of pride because, maybe barring two players, everybody put in a shift in Denmark," said Shiels.
"We need everybody working hard and showing they have full commitment."
"If we are going to get beaten we should be beaten by a team that is superior to us. All it takes is one or two players to be off and not commit themselves for us to be in trouble," added the Derry boss.
The League of Ireland side were outclassed by their opponents in the first leg but Shiels is not overly critical of his side's performance.
"We are looking to make it a more competitive game to give us a boost going into Sunday's league match with Sligo and if the supporters can get behind us it will help us enormously.
"We didn't play badly in the first leg. We had periods of the game when we were very, very good and matched them but we just couldn't contain the mobility of their front four. They were so prolific and prominent in the last third of the pitch.
"Hopefully we can address that and see ways in which we can nullify it.

Civilian casualties were reported after what residents said was light resistance from the militants.
The AU on Friday denied on Friday it has lost control of Merca, saying it had made a tactical withdrawal.
Al-Shabab was forced out of the capital Mogadishu in 2011 but still has a presence in large areas of the south.
A Somali military official told AFP news agency: "The Somali forces and Amisom [AU] peacekeepers secured control of Merca again and now the situation has returned to normal.
"There was brief exchange of gunfire, but the militants have fled."
He said "several" al-Shabab fighters and one Somali soldier had been killed in the fighting. A resident told AFP that four civilians had died in his area.
The fighting comes three weeks after al-Shabab overran an AU military base outside the southern Somali town of el-Ade, saying they had killed about 100 Kenyans soldiers. | The Somali military, backed by the African Union (AU), has retaken Merca from al-Shabab militants who seized the port city on Friday, residents say. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35512034"} | 215 | 42 | 0.686368 | 1.395723 | 0.191474 | 0.9375 | 5.65625 | 0.625 |
Odeon and Picturehouse said their sites were affected, with Picturehouse saying it had seen "unprecedented" demand.
Some people took to Twitter to complain about sites crashing.
However a Vue spokesman said it had sold 10,000 tickets in 90 minutes, adding "our customers continue to purchase online with ease".
The new film, which hits cinema screens on 17 December, is one of the most anticipated titles of the year.
It reunites stars from the original trilogy of films including Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.
Advance tickets went on sale this morning, but the volume of people trying to buy them was too high for website servers to cope.
'Massive traffic'
Picturehouse spokesman Gabriel Swartland said: "We're working on it, we've had an unprecedented demand for tickets."
He said the last title to cause such a surge in demand was a screening of the Barbican's production of Hamlet, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
"We've had concurrent bookings in the thousands," he said. "On the plus side we already have sell outs. We expect it to calm down later in the day."
An Odeon spokesman said: "We're seeing massive traffic to our website this morning as guests book ahead for Spectre and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

US artist Ally Burguieres complained on Facebook after Swift used a wrongly-credited drawing of a fox identical to one of her watercolour designs.
Swift removed the image but the artist claims she took months to compensate her, that it wasn't enough and she was told she had to give it charity.
Swift's representatives say Ms Burguieres is just seeking publicity.
They also say the singer was just sharing a piece of work, that Ms Burguieres had been more than fairly compensated and that no stipulation of a donation was made.
"Notwithstanding the huge publicity this has generated for Ms Burguieres and her store, in early November, Ms Swift's office made a fair offer of payment well above a reasonable licensing fee for the short time that the fan art was posted online," the representative told Rolling Stone.
Swift used the hand-drawn image on social media alongside the lyrics to the track I Know Places, which features the lyrics: "They are the hunters we are the foxes and we run…"
In her Facebook post, the New Orleans artist wrote: "I am a professional artist. With years of work and support from customers, friends, and family, I have built a business around my designs.
"As a professional artist, I was astonished to see you use one of my most popular designs on all your official social media platforms as part of your promotions for 1989.
"The design was a copy, and with someone else's name signed to it. I was devastated."
Ms Burguieres added that Swift would not herself agree to the "four-figure" compensation amount or to the charity donation terms.
"Taylor, as a professional, would you agree to such terms from Apple, or Spotify?" said Ms Burguieres, referring to the fact Taylor took her music off the music streaming service Spotify and confronted Apple about artist payments.
Swift's team told Rolling Stone: "We have tried on multiple occasions to address Ms Burguieres' concerns, but these actions make it clear to us that this is just an unfortunate effort to extract more money and more publicity."
The row over the fox painting is the latest in a line of recent copyright and legal wrangles involving Swift.
Last month Swift paid an undisclosed sum to a US clothing company to settle a legal dispute over her use of its Lucky 13 name.
A judge also threw out a claim by US R&B singer Jesse Braham that Swift copied the words from his 2013 song called Haters Gone Hate for her hit Shake It Off.

Under a deal agreed on Friday, the list must be approved by the international creditors in order for Greece to secure a four-month extension of its bailout.
"We won a battle, not the war," Mr Tspiras said on Saturday.
The deal is widely regarded as a major climb down for the PM, who won power vowing to reverse budget cuts.
He hailed the agreement as a "decisive step" that "achieved much" towards ending austerity, but added: "We have a long and difficult road ahead."
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens says the government is engaged in a hard sell to the Greek people over the deal with eurozone ministers and the IMF in Brussels.
The Greek cabinet is discussing the potential list of reforms, which must be approved before eurozone members ratify the bailout extension on Tuesday.
Analysts say a collapse of the deal would revive fears of an exit from the euro, a so-called "grexit" - something both the EU and Greece say they want to avoid.
Mark Lowen, BBC News, Athens
After the late-night deal comes the hard sell to the Greek public. A government elected by promising to reverse austerity and end the bailout has had a major climb-down.
It has had to accept supervision by its creditors - no moves without EU agreement - and a loan programme with conditions.
To its voters, the government will stress that it now has a say in which reforms it is willing to make.
The hard-left of the party won't like it, but the centre ground will, and Greece has staved off euro-exit for now. That is the success that the government will trumpet. But it is limited.
Saved from disaster - for two days
Linda Yueh: A deal, for now
Personality clash at heart of negotiations
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble stressed on Friday that there would be no payment of new funds to Greece until the conditions of the deal had been met.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said he would work night and day until Monday to devise the list of reforms.
"If the list of reforms is not agreed, this agreement is dead," he admitted.
Greece's liberal daily Kathimerini warned on Saturday of "stifling" conditions attached to the deal in Brussels while the centre-left Ta Nea said both sides had made "compromises".
The Greek Communist Party (KKE) accused the coalition, which is led by its far-left rivals Syriza, of extending the bailout without getting the loan conditions changed.
"Ultimately the bill will be footed by the people, as it happened with all previous governments," KKE leader Dimitris Koutsoumbas said.
The government is already in trouble with its voters for seeking the bailout extension at all - something it swore it would never do.
On the streets of Athens, reaction to the deal in Brussels was mixed.
"I think it was positive in the sense that at least for now we can relax a bit," one man, Nikos, told the BBC. "We will have to wait see what will happen next."
But another man, Costas, dismissed the deal as a "somersault that the whole world will remember".
Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, head of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, said on Friday night that the deal was a "very important" step in the process of rebuilding trust between Greece and its creditors - the EU, the European Central Bank and the IMF. | Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has warned of "real difficulties" ahead, as his government faces a Monday deadline to submit a list of reforms to lenders. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "31564846"} | 794 | 39 | 0.511808 | 1.205861 | 0.266525 | 1 | 23.2 | 0.666667 |
A breakthrough that could have a huge implications for the tech industry.
Magnets made of "rare earth metals" are a vital part of almost every gadget from mobile phones to computer hard drives.
But most of the world's supply of rare earth metals is found in China. So being able to recycle them wouldn't just be greener it would also secure companies a new source of essential materials that would be outside the control of the Chinese government.
Traditional ways of recycling are pretty destructive.
You tear apart your gadget and then sift through what's left looking for the bits your want.
The problem with rare earth magnets is as soon as you start the shredding the magnet will just shatter and then stick to any bits of metal it can find.
The end result is tiny chunks of rare earth metals that are just impossible to retrieve from the mess.
But Prof Rex Harris from the University of Birmingham has a clever solution to all this.
Years ago, he discovered if you pass hydrogen over a rare earth magnet the magnet expands and the turns into a powder. Usefully the resulting powder isn't magnetic at all. It doesn't stick to anything.
Now for a long time this was just an interesting fact about an interesting group of elements. But as rare earths grew to become such a key part of modern life it became apparent this interesting fact could be the secret to recycling them.
And Dr Alan Walton and his team at the University of Birmingham have now managed to recycle rare earths on a scale where industry have begun to take notice.
At this stage the researchers have been focusing on computer hard drives. We already recycle about 100 million of these a year, mainly to get at the aluminium they contain.
The rare earths, because they just stick to everything, are impossible to recover.
But as part of this work a robot has been created that can identify the corner of each hard drive where the 25g of rare earth magnets are buried and then saw it off.
You then put the corners into a big drum (which actually comes from a washing machine!) and pass hydrogen gas over them. The rare earth magnets turn to powder and since they are no longer magnetic when you tumble the drum out drops all the powder.
The end result can then be made back into the first ever recycled rare earth magnets.
All of this has been proved to work on a commercial scale, so the hope is to get companies interested in the technology and using it within the next year or so. As well as being greener and cutting waste this also offers firms a new revenue stream.
Of course the other benefit is it offers a useful source of rare earth metals from outside China. People have in the past said rare earths are the oil of the twenty first century and China have built a hugely dominate position in the industry. This would offer an alternative.
Finally, like much of the research I talk about this is a huge project that involves lots of different scientists, companies and groups right across Europe. | Scientists in Birmingham have found a new way to recycle the very important metals found in almost every type of modern technology. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37190469"} | 644 | 27 | 0.434965 | 1.245119 | 0.267588 | 1.347826 | 26.217391 | 0.826087 |

I understand that there is no suggestion of gross misconduct, or dishonesty, or of what was described to me as "impropriety".
Clearly there are serious concerns of some sort, or Professor Purcell wouldn't have been suspended.
But this does help to clarify things, because until now there was no hint at all as to why she had been "placed on leave".
What should we make of this?
Some business leaders are concerned that if the university looks shaky at the top, the impressive investment that's been going on there could start to dry up.
On the other hand, the South West Devon MP Gary Streeter told us that he trusts the governors completely, and if there's a process to be gone through, he's happy for them to go through it.
University governors said Wendy Purcell's position was unchanged and her deputy, Professor David Coslett, would temporarily act up.
The BBC understands there has been a "serious clash of personalities".
The governors said they were not able to go into any more detail during the review, asking for the "confidentiality of the situation to be respected".
Professor Purcell, who earned more than £288,000 in 2013, was a graduate of Plymouth University in 1985 with a degree in biological science.
She was appointed vice-chancellor and chief executive of the university in December 2007.
A university statement said: "As you would expect from a world-ranked university with a strong and distinguished reputation, the executive team will ensure core business continues to be focused on the delivery of a first-class experience for our students.

On Saturday Malian and French forces seized Gao, another key northern city.
The advance comes as African Union leaders are meeting to discuss sending more troops to Mali.
Islamists seized the north of the country last year, but have been losing ground since French forces launched an operation earlier this month.
Late on Saturday French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Malian and French troops would arrive "near Timbuktu soon".
Overnight they secured Gao - northern Mali's most populous city- after special forces captured the airport and a strategic bridge to the south.
Most militants appear to have fled into desert hide-outs and the hunt for them may prove more difficult once all major towns are secure, says the BBC's Thomas Fessy in the capital, Bamako.
Why do we know Timbuktu?
Troops from Niger and Chad are to assist Malian forces in further securing the town.
Also overnight, French forces bombed Islamist position in Kidal, Malian officials say.
An army source told AFP news agency that the home of the head of Ansar Dine, the main militant group in northern Mali, had been destroyed in a raid.
African Union leaders are holding a summit in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, as members move to deploy troops to help the French-led operation there.
Outgoing AU chairman Boni Yayi on Sunday hailed France for its military intervention, saying it was something "we should have done a long time ago to defend a member country".
In a statement on Saturday, the AU said it wanted to make "an African Standby Force" operational in Mali soon.
African states have pledged nearly 5,700 troops to support French and Malian forces in their campaign. Only a small part of the African force has so far deployed.
On the sidelines of the Addis Ababa summit, the EU pledged 50m euros (£42.6m) to bolster the multinational force, saying a further 250m euros of development money would also be made available.
Meanwhile, the US said it would provide mid-air refuelling for French warplanes. The Pentagon said it had also discussed plans for the US to transport troops to Mali from countries including Chad and Togo.
Some 3,700 French troops are engaged in Operation Serval, 2,500 of them on Malian soil.
France intervened in its former colony after Islamist launched a push to the south earlier this month. Paris said the whole of Africa, and even Europe, was under threat if the Islamist offensive succeeded.
As French and Malian troops moved into Gao, Malian officials spoke of scenes of joy, but also some looting.
Malian Foreign Minister Tieman Coulibaly said ahead of the summit in Addis Ababa: "This terrorist group intends to spread its criminal purpose over the whole of Mali, and eventually target other countries."
The AU has recommended civilian observers monitor the human rights situation in the areas which have come back under the control of the Malian government.
Human rights groups have accused the Malian army of committing serious abuses.
Islamist groups and secular Tuareg rebels took advantage of chaos following a military coup to seize northern Mali in April 2012. But the Islamists soon took control of the region's major towns, sidelining the Tuaregs. | French-led forces in Mali are advancing on the key northern city of Timbuktu, as they press on with their offensive against Islamist rebels. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "21218003"} | 735 | 36 | 0.544564 | 1.20149 | 0.202893 | 1.518519 | 23 | 0.851852 |
The regulator said late on Thursday that it would be looking into whether parties were mis-selling financial products.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite index has slumped about 30% since mid-June, wiping out most of this year's gains.
Any criminal cases will be transferred to the police, the regulator said.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said it would base its investigation on reports of abnormal market movements from the stock market and futures exchanges.
The Shanghai exchange, one of the best performing in the world, more than doubled its value in the last 12 months. But the recent losses have wiped out trillions of dollars of share value, said the BBC's Martin Patience in Beijing.
Some reports have accused overseas investors of driving prices down by short-selling stocks on Chinese bourses, meaning they were betting on stocks falling.
The China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) has suspended 19 accounts from short-selling for a month, reports Reuters news agency, citing unnamed sources.
However, analysts say the slump was triggered by concerns over inflated valuations and is a correction in the market, which had risen by 150% in the last year.
An editorial in the state-run Global Times has denied that overseas investors, who have limited access to Chinese markets, were manipulating stocks.
"Foreign capital has only a small part of the Chinese stock market," it said. "Large-scale short selling by foreign investors in the Chinese stock market has not appeared and is an unlikely scenario."
The sharp drop in the Shanghai Composite has already triggered policy moves over the past week, including a cut in the cost of borrowing and easing of margin lending rules, making it easier for brokerages to lend money.
However, these moves have failed to stop the sell-off, which is now starting to spill into commodity markets such as iron ore and steel. | China's securities regulator will investigate suspected manipulation of the stock market, state news agency Xinhua reports. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33376352"} | 401 | 26 | 0.550439 | 1.136118 | 0.45953 | 1.315789 | 19.578947 | 0.789474 |
The man, who served two sentences at Chelmsford Prison, said he saw inmates pouring boiling water on each other.
Last year, a report said "bullying, low-level violence, and disobedience by prisoners" had increased.
A spokesman for the prison service said there was a "zero tolerance approach to violence".
The former prisoner, who wished to remain anonymous, said during his first stay a few years ago, "there was a lot more order" and he felt "quite safe".
"Last time I was there I saw about three violent incidents. This time there was violence every day," he said. "The whole place was just a shambles."
The ex-convict described a prisoner-on-prisoner attack in which a young inmate had boiling water poured over him while he was asleep, before being beaten with a metal rod.
"I know people have committed crimes, and they deserve to do their time, but people's lives are at stake in there," he said.
"There needs to be more staff. On a typical day, you'd look around on the wing, and there'd be 30 men on the floor and one officer with you."
Last year's report, by Chelmsford Independent Monitoring Board, also raised concerns about the "loss of a large number of experienced supervising officers and wing officers" having a "significant negative impact on the care and safety of prisoners".
In response to the former prisoner's claim, a prison service spokesman said: "We have a zero tolerance approach to violence in prisons and it can lead to offenders having time added to their sentence.
"We keep staffing levels under review and responded to recent pressures by recruiting over 1,700 additional prison officers nationally." | Inmates' lives could be at stake at a prison where concerns were raised about increasing levels of violence, an former convict has claimed. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34244087"} | 404 | 31 | 0.532499 | 1.310271 | 0.821482 | 0.923077 | 13.538462 | 0.692308 |

Health Minister Maggie De Block said current rules requiring pills to be given within 20km (12 miles) of a reactor should be increased to 100km.
Belgium's neighbours have criticised the state of its nuclear reactors.
However, the minister said the change was as a result of the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.
An earthquake led to a tsunami and all three reactor cores largely melted down.
"Every country has updated its plans for a nuclear emergency," Ms De Block told Belgian TV.
Iodine tablets help to reduce the damage radiation does to the body after a nuclear accident.
People living near the Fukushima nuclear plant were handed the pills after a tsunami caused a radiation leak in 2011.
Radioactive iodine gathers in the thyroid gland and there it releases its energy and damages the tissue.
Ultimately this can culminate in cancer.
Taking the tablets fills the thyroid with stable iodine so there's no room for the radioactive material.
Of course they offer no protection against other radioactive elements such as caesium-137.

Germany calls for temporary nuclear shutdown in Belgium
Belgium has seven reactors, at Doel and Tihange, and a research reactor at Mol. But the advice also takes into account reactors in neighbouring countries including the Netherlands, which has a reactor at Borssele close to the Belgian border.
Ms De Block said pills would be given to the whole population because if a 100km circle was drawn from all the reactors in the region there was not one square centimetre of Belgium that was not covered.
The Dutch government updated its policy on iodine tablets last month, so that pregnant women and under-eighteens are given the pills within 100km of the Borssele and Doel reactors.
Earlier this month Belgium refused a German request to shut down two of its oldest reactors temporarily because of defects found in their pressure vessels.
Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks called for the Doel 3 and Tihange 2 reactors to be taken offline because of a report by Germany's independent Reactor Safety Commission.
They were temporarily shut in 2012 when defects were found in the walls of the reactors' pressure vessels.
Belgian Green MP Jean-Marc Nollet welcomed the proposals for the whole population to be given the pills, but said it was not enough.
The risk would not disappear if Belgians were given pills, he said. The health, environmental and economic consequences of a nuclear accident would remain.
The change is expected to be finalised in June and pills will be handed out next year. | The Belgian government has agreed to distribute iodine pills to the country's entire population as a nuclear safety precaution. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36157806"} | 578 | 29 | 0.548904 | 1.48294 | 0.325522 | 1.095238 | 23.52381 | 0.809524 |
In an overview of the performance of the NHS in 2014/15, Audit Scotland said the health service failed to meet seven out of nine key waiting time targets.
Problems around staffing have intensified, the report found.
Audit Scotland concluded this issue is "one of the biggest pressures facing the NHS today".
Auditor General for Scotland Caroline Gardner said: "We have highlighted concerns around targets and staffing in previous reports.
"These have intensified over the past year as has the urgency for fundamental changes such as introducing new ways to deliver healthcare and developing a national approach to workforce planning.
"It is important that the Scottish government and health boards work closely together to help alleviate these pressures and also increase the pace of change necessary to meet its longer-term ambitions."
The report points out that rural health boards in particular are struggling to attract and retain employees.
As a result they have to pay inflated prices for temporary staff. Whilst it costs an average of £15.62 an hour for an internal 'bank' nurse, employing a similar nurse from an agency costs £42.97. In Orkney, the cost per hour is £84.05.
The report also says that the health budget as a whole has decreased slightly since 2008/9 by 0.7% once inflation and capital spending is taken into account.
Health boards - which are responsible for most frontline services - received a slight increase of 1%, but not enough to keep pace with cost pressures.
The cost of drugs alone rose by 4% and is expected to rise by 5-16% in future.
Ms Gardner said: "We all depend on the NHS and its staff who provide high-quality care. But it will not be able to provide services as it does at present due to the number of pressures it faces within the current challenging financial environment."
Despite the pressures, NHS Scotland managed to reach the end of the year with an underspend of £10m, or 0.09% of its total budget of £11.4bn. However, many health boards needed to make one-off savings or received loans from the Scottish government in order to break even.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said that since the report was written, the Scottish government has announced a £200m investment to create six new treatment centres to help health boards meet increasing demand for a growing elderly population.
Ms Robison added: "The Scottish government welcomes this annual contribution from Audit Scotland, which confirms the Scottish government has increased the frontline, resource spending on our NHS.
"The Scottish government has a clear vision for the future of our NHS and we will continue to take the right action to ensure that Scotland continues to have an NHS that it can be proud of today and in the future."
Dr Peter Bennie, chairman of the British Medical Association Scotland, said: "The overriding message that must get through from this report is that substantive and realistic action is needed if our health service is to cope with the rapidly increasing pressures it is facing.
"As the report makes clear, increasing numbers of people are living longer lives, however, the amount of time that they will spend in need of support from the NHS is also growing.
"The NHS in Scotland is already coming under real strain as a result of these growing demands, continuing constraints on resources and increasing unfilled medical posts."
Royal College of Nursing Scotland associate director Ellen Hudson said: "If we are to put the NHS on a sustainable footing, then the government needs to take heed of the recommendations in this report and listen to what we and many other organisations have been saying for some time about the pressures on our health services."
Scottish Labour called the report "damning", adding the decrease in real terms of the budget shows the SNP has been cutting spending on health.
The party also highlighted that there has been a 53% increase in the use of private agency nursing staff, while 71% of vacancies for A&E staff were unfilled for more than six months.
Jackson Carlaw of the Scottish Conservatives commented: "We know about the pressures of the NHS in Scotland under the SNP government. Things are tough now and the service will deteriorate in the future if these problems are not dealt with now."
The Scottish Liberal Democrats said eight years of the SNP government has left the health service in "intensive care" while the Scottish Greens said the report revealed the Scottish government has not made sufficient progress towards its 2020 vision of more home and community-based healthcare settings. | Fundamental change is needed now if the NHS in Scotland is to cope with demand, according to the financial watchdog Audit Scotland. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34597068"} | 939 | 27 | 0.521719 | 1.209642 | 0.116299 | 2.25 | 37.041667 | 0.916667 |
Richard Jones, 31, from Llanwnnen, near Lampeter, was convicted of two counts of illegal dog breeding and 21 counts of causing unnecessary suffering to dogs following two raids last June.
He was given a nine-week suspended sentence at Aberystwyth Justice Centre.
The prosecution was brought by Ceredigion council.
The court heard that Jones did not have a licence for breeding and, following a visit from officers, some of the dogs in his care were found in complete darkness with advanced chronic skin conditions.
One young puppy was so thin that it was close to death, the court heard.
Jones had been running a licensed premises known as "The Shed" near Lampeter with over 70 dogs from 2010.
Its license was renewed yearly until 2015 when the local authority decided not to renew it because of concerns.
The application was for 70 dogs to breed 40 litters a year.
In 2016, an application was not made by Jones, but he carried on breeding.
Searches of both his premises was carried out with 56 dogs found at "The Shed" and 38 puppies and 19 dogs found at Moelfre farm.
In all, 113 dogs were found suffering.
The animals were described by the vet who examined them as mentally stressed with no exercise or social contact, with many dogs homed on their own.
Many of the animals were described as dangerously thin, with one suffering from gangrene and septicaemia and close to death.
Jones' defence claimed he was devastated by the refusal for a licence in 2015 after making considerable investments at "The Shed" and felt he had been dealt with disproportionally by the local authority.
The court said all dogs should be removed from his premises by 2 March. | An illegal dog breeder from Ceredigion who left puppies languishing "close to death" has been banned from keeping animals for four years. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38920334"} | 372 | 33 | 0.57495 | 1.401394 | -0.252124 | 1 | 13.48 | 0.68 |
Erectile dysfunction drugs worth £500,000 were found in a garden shed after a raid at Atilla Fodor's property in Datchet, Slough.
Fodor, 38, was charged with importation and possession of unlicensed medicines with intent to supply and the supply of unlicensed medicines.
He was sentenced to 10 months in prison at Reading Crown Court.
An investigation carried out last year found Fodor had netted more than £27,000 from the illegally imported drugs.
They are only allowed to be sold on prescription in the UK.
Alastair Jeffrey, head of enforcement at Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: "Selling unlicensed medicines is illegal and can pose a serious risk to health.

A Crocodile Shark carcass was discovered on a beach at Hope Cove near Plymouth and was reported to the National Marine Aquarium.
Experts think the animal, normally found in tropical waters, may have died from the shock of UK's colder seas.
It is commonly found in Brazil and Australia growing to about 1m (3.3ft).
Steven Greenfields spotted the shark washed up on the beach while walking with his family.
Mr Greenfields said: "We regularly visit this beach and have never seen anything like this before. My whole family was stunned as the animal had really unusual features but was unmistakably a shark.
Because it was so unusual we consulted our local aquarium to confirm what species it was."
James Wright, curator at the National Marine Aquarium, said: "This species has never been recorded in the UK before, as it is normally found in deep waters during the day in tropical climates, such as Brazil and Australia, then coming shallower at night to feed.
"With the Crocodile Shark accustomed to much warmer waters, travelling so far and reaching colder waters would have caused a shock to its system and account for the cause of death.
"We would urge the public to share any other unusual sightings with us or The Shark Trust, so we can monitor any trends."
Paul Cox, managing director of the Shark Trust, said: "Any information that we can get is useful so it's great that this one has been reported and identified." | A tropical species of shark has been found on the UK coastline for the first time in recorded history, marine experts said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39145812"} | 317 | 25 | 0.579206 | 1.369723 | 0.626661 | 1.083333 | 12.208333 | 0.833333 |
Advertising revenues rose to $5.2bn, with more than 80% coming from mobile.
Facebook's focus on live video attracted new advertisers, while sales on existing services also grew.
Mark Zuckerberg also requested that a new class of stock should be issued, so he can donate money from his shares to charity while maintaining control of the firm he founded.
The company said the move would "encourage Mr Zuckerberg to remain in an active leadership role at Facebook".
The results hugely exceeded Wall Street's already sky-high expectations, and Facebook shares rose by more than 9% in after-hours trading.
Sales for the quarter reached $5.4bn, up from $3.5bn last year.
The increased focus on mobile advertising seems to have paid off, rising to 82% of the company's revenues for the first quarter of 2016, up from 73% during the same period last year.
Total monthly active users (MAU) increased 15% from a year earlier to 1.65 billion, beating analysts' expectations.
And each user earned the company more money, an average of $3.32 against $2.50 last year.
With Apple's iffy results yesterday, and the now-broken-record of Twitter continuing to struggle, it's Facebook taking the hopes of the tech world on its shoulders, and flourishing.
Wall Street is extremely tough on the world's biggest social network, a company which suffers from its own success. Even when Facebook warns about an Achilles heel, it seems to overcome it.
Remember when investors were worried about the transition to mobile? Well, it made $5.2bn from advertising in the last quarter - 82% of that was from mobile users. Some Achilles heel.
I'd been hoping we'd learn a little about the early sales of the Oculus Rift, the virtual reality headset which went on sale towards the end of the quarter.
Sadly Facebook chose not to share specific figures on that.

On a call with investors, Facebook said it intended to continue buying other companies, but only those offering services that could be "ubiquitous".
Facebook has invested heavily in other firms - in 2012 it paid $1bn for the photo-sharing site Instagram.
But it is hard for investors to judge the success of such deals, as Facebook has not given details of earnings from the firms it has bought.
The announcement of the new share structure comes four months after Mr Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced they would give away 99% of their wealth.
The couple made the announcement after the birth of their daughter Max in December.
In a letter to Max on Facebook the pair said they would give the majority of their fortune to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative where it would be used to "advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation".
Mr Zuckerberg and Ms Chan plan to make the donations over the course of their lives.

Ministers plan to take 20,000 refugees by 2020 - a "huge change in the scale" of resettlement, according to Home Affairs Committee chairman Keith Vaz.
He said the committee was "concerned about our real level of preparedness and ability to increase capacity to manage such numbers at short notice".
The government said "careful planning" was needed to "ensure we get it right".
The committee said: "At no point in the recent past has the UK come near to resettling 4,000 refugees in one year."
A total of 2,204 Syrians applied for asylum in the UK in the 12 months up to the end of June 2015, according to the Home Office.
An additional 216 Syrian refugees were resettled under the government's Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme between January 2014 and mid-2015.
Mr Vaz said the refugee crisis had reached an "unimaginable scale" this summer.
"The generosity of the British public in offers of assistance and even space in their homes has not been accepted by ministers. This should be reconsidered," he said.
"Housing is likely to be one of the most difficult issues and it may be that, properly organised and supported, offers of private accommodation will be a helpful, viable and perhaps essential part of the solution."
Mr Vaz's comments come as the committee publishes a report on immigration, in which it recommends that the government sets out exactly how it plans to increase capacity for dealing with the influx of refugees.
The report's findings include:
20,000
more refugees will be resettled in the UK by 2020
4,980
Syrian asylum seekers have been allowed to stay since 2011
25,771 people applied for asylum in the UK in the year to end June 2015
2,204 were from Syria
87% of Syrian requests for asylum were granted
145 Syrian asylum seekers have been removed from the UK since 2011
Commenting on the concern about the number of Syrian refugees the UK plans to accept, Richard Harrington, minister responsible for Syrian refugees, said the government planned to resettle 1,000 Syrians "by Christmas".
"We have already welcomed and successfully resettled a number of vulnerable people who were in desperate need of our help," he said.
"The scale of the expansion needs careful planning to ensure we get it right.
"That is why we are continuing to work closely with the UNHCR, local government associations, NGOs and partner organisations in order to resettle 20,000 people by the end of this Parliament."
He said there were plans to create a register of people willing to provide housing for refugees and to develop a "community sponsorship scheme" so members of the public and groups could give direct support.

Southern Water pleaded guilty to breaching its Environmental Permit at Foreness Point pumping station.
The Environment Agency said defective pumps led to several sewage discharges between January and June 2011.
Southern Water apologised and said it was struggling to deal with the amount of water arriving at Foreness Point in stormy weather.
Canterbury Crown Court was told the company frequently failed to notify the Environment Agency or the local food authority of the sewage discharges into the sea.
One of the breaches was on Easter Sunday 2011, when sewage was discharged on to the beach.
The Environment Agency said investigation into separate sewage leaks last year were still ongoing.
More than 20 beaches in Thanet had to be closed over the Queen's Diamond Jubilee bank holiday weekend from 4 until 12 June.
Green Party councillor Ian Driver was on a scrutiny panel of Thanet Council which looked into the 2012 pollution incidents.
He said the £200,000 fine was too low.
"Last year Southern Water made profits of £331m so a £200,000 fine is hardly a deterrent considering the damage they caused," he said.
"There is the obvious environmental damage and the risk to health - that's a very serious issue.
"There's also huge damage to the local economy. People stop coming because they don't think the beaches are safe, so local traders lose money."
Southern Water said the majority of beaches in the Margate area continued to meet Blue Flag and European quality standards.
Director Geoff Loader said the fine should be taken in context with the £1.7m the company had spent addressing "extremely complex" issues at the pumping station.
"We have done some short-term improvements and we have some more things to do at a cost of £500,000," he said.
"Ultimately we might need to build a new pumping station.

Broadcast in January 2014, the first episode of the third series - which saw Sherlock apparently return from the dead - was requested 4.2 million times.
All three episodes in the 2014 Sherlock series were included in the top 10.
The second most-watched programme on the catch-up service was the opening episode of 2014's series of Top Gear, which took four of the top 10 slots.
The Burma special, which was later found to have breached broadcasting rules after Jeremy Clarkson used a racial slur, was the fourth most watched show on iPlayer last year.
The controversial Top Gear special in Argentina was the most popular iPlayer show over the UK's Christmas period - and 15th in the overall chart for most requested programmes across 2014.
Only BBC Three documentary Murdered by My Boyfriend, comedy Outnumbered and Doctor Who succeeded in breaking Sherlock and Top Gear's stranglehold on the top 10.
"Really thrilling to see Sherlock at the very top of the iPlayer ratings," said Sherlock co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.
"We always knew he'd survive jumping off that building, but we never thought he'd fly so high."
The return of Sherlock to BBC One was watched by an average 9.2 million people when it first aired on New Year's Day last year.
Moffat's other major series - Doctor Who - made it into 10th place.
Deep Breath, which introduced new Doctor Peter Capaldi, was requested 2.8 million times.
Among shows which aired only on the iPlayer, Frankie Boyle's Referendum Autopsy - which looked at the outcome of the Scottish independence poll - was among the most popular online-only shows with 715,000 requests.

Ahead of the release of the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) annual report, Christopher Graham said the body needed "stronger powers".
In the past year, the ICO issued £1.97m in penalties to companies found to breach data protection rules.
The report highlighted a high number of incidents involving local government.
"In particular, the disclosure of personal data in error," the report read.
In one example, a probation officer pleaded guilty to revealing the new address of a domestic violence victim to the alleged perpetrator. The officer was fined £150, and had to pay £280 in costs.
The ICO said it resolved 15,492 data protection complaints in the last financial year - a 10% rise on the previous 12 months. The number of calls to its advice helpline rose by more than 15%.
The ICO secured 12 criminal convictions and two cautions for the unlawful obtaining or disclosing of personal data.
In another incident, the ICO intervened when Staffordshire Police ran a Twitter campaign naming people charged with drink driving.
"Whilst releasing some details of people charged with criminal offences is acceptable," the ICO ruled, "using a hashtag '#drinkdrivers' is potentially misleading as it implies guilt."
One data security expert said that the ICO had a strong argument for deserving more funds.
"While penalties totalling £1,97m were issued, the ICO only collected £872,000, thanks to a combination of early payment reductions, appeals and impairments," said Chris McIntosh, chief executive of ViaSat UK.
"This is a situation that clearly favours those organisations with the resources to either reduce penalties through early payment or mount a challenge against a judgement.
"Yet with increased funding and powers, the ICO could not only make sure that penalties, financial or otherwise, matched the severity of an offence. It could make its investigations even more thorough: reducing the chances of appeals and making sure that its eventual judgement was both fair and final."
At the launch of the report on Tuesday, Mr Graham said: "Facebook, [NHS] care data, Google: it is clear that organisations' use of data is getting ever more complicated. People need to know someone is watching over their information.
"Independence means someone who's got the resources to take on this ever-growing number of cases. The last 12 months have been a record year - more complaints resolved than ever, more enforcement action taken and more advice given through our helpline.
"And it also means having the powers to act on the more serious complaints. A strong regulator is needed if a data breach affects millions of people.
"To do our job properly, to represent people properly, we need stronger powers, more sustainable funding and a clearer guarantee of independence."
The ICO in the past has been criticised for both being too lenient, and not thorough enough, when investigating companies.
The ICO was described as "sadly lacking" by privacy campaigners when it dropped a 2010 investigation into Google's scooping up of personal information from wi-fi networks when taking pictures for its Street View product.
The ICO dropped its investigation after receiving reassurances from Google - only to re-open it in 2012 after US regulators found wrongdoing on Google's part.
In that year's annual report, it admitted it had not issued a single fine to any firm. However, new powers granted in January 2012 made it easier for the ICO to fine large amounts.
In this year's report, the highest number of complaints relate to nuisance calls.

Salto the robot can perform multiple vertical jumps in a row - making it a champion robot athlete.
Bush babies, or galagos, can jump five times in four seconds, to reach a combined height of 8.5m.
Writing in Science Robotics, the researchers say the prototype could be used for search and rescue in disaster zones.
The bush baby (Galago senegalensis) is a nocturnal primate native to Africa. It has the unusual ability to store energy in its tendons, enabling it to jump to heights not achievable by its muscles alone.
Duncan Haldane and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, describe the bush baby's special skill as "vertical jumping agility".
To compare robots and animals, the roboticists developed a new metric to measure vertical agility.
This is defined as the height something can reach with a single jump in Earth gravity, multiplied by the frequency with which that jump can be made.
Their robot is 26cm tall and weighs 100g. A motor drives a spring, which loads via a leg mechanism to create the kind of crouch seen in the bush baby.
Salto mimics the way energy is stored in the tendons of the nocturnal mammal, which means it doesn't need to wind up before a jump. As soon as it leaps, the robot is ready to go again.
With a vertical jumping agility of 1.75 metres per second (m/s), Salto was able to achieve 78% of the bush baby's score; the mammal has a jumping agility of 2.24 m/s.
However, the Californian-built robot was able to beat a bullfrog on the same metric.
"By combining biologically inspired design principles with improved engineering technology, matching the agile performance of animals may not be that far off," said co-author Prof Ronald Fearing.
The research has been backed by the US Army Research Laboratory among other funders.

She says she "wasn't taken seriously" when she first went to the doctors with her mum.
It wasn't until she says she "basically broke down in front of the GP" that she was diagnosed with Dermatillomania and was referred for professional help.
Now, the 20-year-old from Shropshire wants more people to know about the condition.
She said: "There's not really a lot I can do about it other than raise awareness to help people out there in the same situation."
Samantha has set up a support network on Facebook to help share advice for other people in her position.
She says she hopes the group can pass on some of the help she got when she received cognitive behavioural therapy.
The treatment teaches her what triggers the condition and ways she can control the urge.
"It really helped to be honest," she said.
"But it's not a miracle cure. It's not going to get rid of it straight away."
Samantha's condition has affected her face but she says Dermatillomania can leave cuts and scabs all over the body.
She said her condition puts her into a "trance-like state" and stops her doing day to day tasks.
"Sometimes you feel like giving up because it's always going to keep going," she said.
"It's horrible because I feel like I have to put make-up on and people don't understand. You just feel constantly judged.
"But when I've got make-up on I don't really feel like myself either, so none of them are me."
She added that she doesn't like making social plans because she knows that she'll become self-conscious worrying about her condition and will end up not going out.
"I think it's hard because there's so much pressure out there on social media.
"It's never really bothered me because I am who I am. I just want other people to know they're not alone."

Researchers found patients with lower levels of the protein troponin were less likely to die after an operation.
The test is normally used to diagnose a heart attack, during which the protein is released into the bloodstream.
Dr Matthew Jackson from Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital said the test could identify patients who needed extra medication, tests and monitoring.
"Now we need to find out why troponin levels are raised in some patients before surgery, and why these patients are more likely to die, in order to identify treatments that could reduce the risk of death following non-cardiac surgery," he said.
The study, which looked at patients who had not had a heart attack, has been presented to the British Cardiovascular Society conference in Manchester.
Blood samples from 993 patients were tested for troponin levels before they had non-cardiac surgery.
A quarter with levels above 50 nanograms per litre (ng/l) died within six months and 37% within a year, the researchers found.
Of those with lower than 17ng/l, just 2.5% died within six months of surgery and 3.7% within a year.
The link is not yet clear but patients with high troponin levels could have underlying inflammation, researchers said.
British Heart Foundation associate medical director Prof Metin Avkiran said if the "underlying causes" could be understood, treatment could be "tailored to improve outcome". | A routine blood test could predict whether a patient is likely to survive after surgery, a new study suggests. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40186624"} | 299 | 24 | 0.505319 | 1.182295 | -0.370653 | 0.952381 | 13 | 0.666667 |
The 30-year-old sealed his third drivers' world title with victory at the US Grand Prix last weekend.
The Briton had been linked with a move to Ferrari, but in May he signed a new three-year deal with Mercedes, taking him up to 2018.
"I honestly can't see myself anywhere else," said Hamilton.
"I imagine beyond this three-year deal there could be one more contract of three or four years and that would be it for me."
That could mean Hamilton, who joined Mercedes from McLaren in 2013, retiring from the sport in 2022, aged 37 - with a maximum of 10 titles to his name.
His victory in the US saw him draw level with racing greats Sir Jackie Stewart and Ayrton Senna as a three-time world champion.
Former British F1 champion Nigel Mansell thinks Hamilton should target Michael Schumacher's record of seven world titles.

Jack Letts, dubbed "Jihadi Jack", is suspected of going to Syria to fight for so-called Islamic State.
But he claims he is opposed to IS and has left that area.
Mr Letts spoke to BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford via text and voice messages.
Speaking about leaving IS-controlled territory, Mr Letts said: "I found a smuggler and walked behind him through minefields."
He said he and the smuggler "eventually made it near a Kurdish point where we were shot at twice and slept in a field".
He said he is now in solitary confinement in a jail in Kurdish-held north-east Syria.
Mr Letts converted to Islam while at Cherwell comprehensive school in Oxford.
He travelled to Jordan, aged 18, in 2014, having dropped out of his A-levels. By the autumn of that year he was in IS-controlled territory in Syria.
His family deny he went there to fight and instead say he was motivated by humanitarian reasons.
He married in Iraq and now has a child.
He told the BBC he had been injured in an explosion and had gone to Raqqa, the de facto capital of IS in Syria, to recuperate.
He claimed he became disillusioned with the group about a year ago after it killed its former supporters.
"I hate them more than the Americans hate them," he said.
"I realised they were not upon the truth so they put me in prison three times and threatened to kill me."
He claimed he had escaped from low-security detention and had been in hiding when he managed to find a people smuggler to take him out.
His parents have pleaded not guilty to charges of funding terrorism after being accused of sending cash to their son.
John Letts and Sally Lane told the BBC that, having not heard from their son for several weeks, they suddenly received a message saying he was in a safe zone.
"It was the news we've been waiting for for three years - ever since he went out there - and now we just want to get him home," said Ms Lane.
They believe their son is not being treated badly but are concerned about his mental health. Neither they or the BBC have heard from him since 1 June.
Mr Letts' parents are calling on the British authorities to do "whatever they can" to help him.
The government had told them that they could only help if he left IS-controlled territory but now he is out "no-one wants to take responsibility", said Ms Lane.
Mr Letts, an organic farmer, acknowledges that his son "will have to account for his actions" once he returns to Britain, but the family is not convinced "he has done anything at all", from what he has told them.
"If he has had anything to with IS I want nothing to do with him," said Mr Letts.
"I think there has been so much misinformation, one little piece of information came out and it was manipulated, twisted, as far as I can see," said Ms Lane.
The UK government advises against all travel to Syria and parts of Iraq and a number of people who returned from these areas have been prosecuted.
In a statement, the Foreign Office said: "As all UK consular services are suspended in Syria and greatly limited in Iraq, it is extremely difficult to confirm the whereabouts and status of British nationals in these areas."
Asked by the BBC why the UK government should help him, Jack said: "I don't want anyone to help me.

He described his fellow UMP conservative as "irritable, rash, overconfident and allowing for no doubt, least of all regarding himself".
He praised Socialist Francois Hollande, tipped as Mr Sarkozy's main rival if they stand in the 2012 election.
Some analysts suggest Mr Chirac is taking revenge for perceived slights.
Mr Sarkozy failed to support Mr Chirac during the 1995 election which put him in office and, following his re-election in 2002, made fun of the older man's love of Japan and sumo wrestling - a point raised in the memoirs.
He won the 2007 election, in which Mr Chirac had to stand down because he had served two consecutive terms in office.
Since his retirement, and despite a looming trial on corruption allegations dating back decades, Mr Chirac has enjoyed a popularity which often eluded him while president.
An Ifop opinion poll last summer suggested he was France's most admired political figure, with Mr Sarkozy placed just 32nd.
Volume II of Mr Chirac's memoirs is due to be published next week but extracts have appeared in the French press.
"Sarkozy - Chirac tells all" was the headline in news magazine Le Point.
"We do not share the same vision of France, we do not agree on the basics," Mr Chirac writes in his book.
After describing Mr Sarkozy as "one of the most gifted politicians of his generation", he frowns on his "inappropriate declarations", notably his call to "hose down" crime-ridden housing estates when he was interior minister in 2005.
He suggests he once considered sacking him as a cabinet minister for insubordination but decided against it, in order to avoid a destructive confrontation.
Another news magazine, Le Nouvel Observateur, homed in on the scorn Mr Chirac heaps on Mr Sarkozy's military service record, with the headline "Sarkozy, a special kind of squaddie".
Mr Chirac, who fought as an officer in the Algerian War, sneers at the manner in which Mr Sarkozy set about his 12-month compulsory service as a young man in 1978.
He describes him as a "military service skiver" because, Le Nouvel Observateur explains, he served in the air force in his home city Paris, in a capacity which allowed him to pursue his career as a municipal councillor and his studies as a law student at the same time.
As for Francois Hollande, Mr Chirac describes him as a "true statesman" capable of crossing party lines.
Critics say the memoirs gloss over Mr Chirac's own weaknesses, as well as alleged dirty tricks he and his supporters used in their unsuccessful bid to derail Mr Sarkozy's presidential candidature in 2007. | Former French President Jacques Chirac has mocked his successor and party colleague Nicolas Sarkozy in memoirs covering his 12 years in office. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "13710626"} | 639 | 32 | 0.449758 | 1.190461 | 0.393555 | 1.086957 | 22.73913 | 0.652174 |
It follows a U-turn by former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, who said he would back legislation to allow the terminally ill in England and Wales get help to end their lives.
The current Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby says the Assisted Dying Bill is "mistaken and dangerous".
But the Church said an inquiry would include expert opinion and carefully assess the arguments.
Speaking on behalf of the CofE, the Bishop of Carlisle, the Rt Rev James Newcome, said a Royal Commission would allow the "important issue" to be discussed at length.
He said the bill should be withdrawn to allow the inquiry to take place - a call which was immediately rejected by Lord Falconer, the Labour peer who tabled it.
Some 110 peers are already listed to speak when the House of Lords debates the private members bill on Friday.
Bishop Newcome also said the Church was "surprised" by Lord Carey's change in position, which had brought the issue to the public's attention.
Lord Carey wrote in the Daily Mail that he had dropped his opposition to the Assisted Dying Bill "in the face of the reality of needless suffering".
"The fact is that I have changed my mind. The old philosophical certainties have collapsed in the face of the reality of needless suffering."
He said it was the case of Tony Nicklinson, who had locked-in syndrome and died after being refused the legal right to die , who had had the "deepest influence" on his decision.
Lord Falconer's legislation would make it legal for adults in England and Wales to be given assistance ending their own life. It would apply to those with less than six months to live.
Two doctors would have to independently confirm the patient was terminally ill and had reached their own, informed decision to die.
Bishop Newcome said: "We were surprised by both the content and the timing of [Lord Carey's] article, but recognise that actually, quite a lot of good things have come out of it, including that it has brought some of the issues to the forefront of public discussion and highlighted just what an important issue this is.
There's been something of a shocked reaction to what Lord Carey said. Let's remember he's a former archbishop. He still has some influence in the Church, especially among the more traditionalist minded Anglicans.
So what he said really will have some consequences. He'll also have some influence presumably in the House of Lords, having argued in the past strongly against similar legislation.
One of the most telling things about what Lord Carey has said is that he now thinks it's not "un-Christian" to allow people to take their own lives when they're suffering at the end of their lives.
It speaks to a body of people, including in the Anglican church, who now feel they can to some extent re-interpret what it is to be Christian, to be Anglican and how to put that into practice in their everyday lives.
To hear that coming from a stalwart defender of biblical truth like Lord Carey is pretty significant.
"Certainly our hope as the Church of England is that the Falconer Bill will be withdrawn and that because this is such an important issue it could be discussed at length by a Royal Commission."
He said a Supreme Court ruling last month over a case brought by the widow of locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson had "heightened the stakes" over the issue.
However, he added that the Church was in favour of leaving the law on assisted suicide unchanged, because it provided a "good balance" between compassion and protection of the vulnerable.
Meanwhile, Lord Falconer said he did not believe a Royal Commission would be "sensible or appropriate" because it would take "a very long time" and that the issue needed to be discussed urgently.
Lord Carey, who was head of the Church of England between 1991 and 2002, said changing the law on assisted suicide would not be "anti-Christian".
He warned that by opposing Lord Falconer's bill and reform, the Church risked "promoting anguish and pain".
When Lord Carey was still the Archbishop of Canterbury he was among the opponents of Lord Joffe's Assisting Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill, which was successfully blocked in the House of Lords in 2006.
The 1961 Suicide Act makes it an offence to encourage or assist a suicide or a suicide attempt in England and Wales. Anyone doing so could face up to 14 years in prison.
The law is almost identical in Northern Ireland. There is no specific law on assisted suicide in Scotland, creating some uncertainty, although in theory someone could be prosecuted under homicide legislation.
There have already been several attempts to legalise assisted dying, but these have been rejected.
The Commission on Assisted Dying, established and funded by campaigners who have been calling for a change in the law, concluded in 2012 that there was a "strong case" for allowing assisted suicide for people who are terminally ill in England and Wales.
But the medical profession and disability rights groups, among others, argue that the law should not be changed because it is there to protect the vulnerable in society.
In other countries, such as Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, legislation has been introduced to allow assisted dying. France is considering a possible introduction of similar legislation, although there is opposition from its medical ethics council.
Campaign group Dignity in Dying predicts that a lot more countries will follow suit.
The current Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby warned that Lord Falconer's bill would mean elderly and disabled people coming under pressure to end their lives.
"What sort of society would we be creating if we were to allow this sword of Damocles to hang over the head of every vulnerable, terminally-ill person in the country?" he wrote in the Times.
Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin, who is the Speaker's chaplain in the House of Commons, said having an assisted suicide law would sanitise death.
"I just happen to believe that matters of life and death in that way is not for us to play with. There are lots and lots of vulnerable people out there... you cannot make a law that is going to have a serious impact on a majority of people."
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children said Lord Carey's comments were a "blow for those sharing the burden of suffering".
But, Church of England General Synod member the Rev Canon Rosie Harper, vicar of Great Missenden, Bucks, supported Lord Carey's remarks and described his intervention as "mega".
"It means in effect that it is legitimate to be both Christian and hold these views," she said.

Stephen Gough, 54, of Chamberlayne Road, Eastleigh pleaded not guilty to the charges of behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
District Judge Anthony Calloway said members of the public had been "distressed" at seeing Gough nude.
Payment of the £1,800 fine was waived in lieu of time served in custody.
District Judge Calloway said there were "elements of the defendant as an exhibitionist".
Gough was banned from entering Southampton Magistrates' Court after he refused to wear clothes for the trial.
Charles Nightingale, prosecuting, said in several of the offences Gough was seen by parents with young children who were "shocked and alarmed" at seeing him naked.
He said the offences, which occurred in February, took place in various locations in Hampshire including outside a primary school, on country footpaths, in Southampton city centre and at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court.
Tom Stevens, defending, said his client believed his nudity was allowed under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act which protects freedom of expression.
District Judge Calloway said: "The human body is not a shameful thing, it is about context."
Gough remains in custody as he awaits trial for a further charge of an alleged breach of an anti-social behaviour order banning him from being naked in public.
He is due to appear at Southampton Crown Court on 19 June.

Warriors' 43-6 home victory lifts them off the bottom of Pool 3, five points behind leaders Racing 92, who thumped Northampton 33-3.
But, despite the good win, Townsend believes his side had to "dig deep".
"When it went to 10-6, it showed what a tough team Scarlets are to break down," Townsend told BBC Scotland.
The Warriors led by only seven points at half-time, having failed to capitalise on several scoring opportunities, while the imposing figure of Australia winger Taqele Naiyaravoro, who would go on to score a hat-trick, had a spectacular try disallowed.
"At that time, I thought we were playing well and we had opportunities, but the passes weren't sticking," Townsend said of the first half.
"We needed to play better and we did in the second half.
"The pressure told and I thought we played very well.
"The collective mindset of always taking the game to Scarlets and the discipline were the key factors in our win."
Townsend was full of praise for Naiyaravoro, 24, a summer signing from the New South Wales Super Rugby franchise, the Waratahs.
"An excellent performance," said the head coach. "He ran hard on the ball and is a difficult man to tackle.
"He's played pretty well since he's come here. I think he's scored a try in every second game.
"At times, it's been difficult getting the ball to him, but he's a danger. We've got to make sure the players inside him are making the right decisions on whether to pass or take the line inside themselves."
Having lost their opener at home to Northampton, Glasgow now travel to Llanelli to face Scarlets again next weekend.
And, despite saying his players will have been buoyed by Saturday's emphatic win, Townsend says they still have it all to do to qualify for the knockout stages.
"We've got four games left, three of them away from home against teams leading their own leagues," he cautioned.
"It will be tough, but the players will have got a lot of confidence from today.
"We'll have to play better next weekend at Scarlets as they have an excellent home record, but if we do then we are right in this competition." | Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend says his side's attacking mindset was integral to their six-try European Champions Cup win over the Scarlets. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35083437"} | 530 | 32 | 0.501381 | 1.248329 | 0.520956 | 0.923077 | 18.076923 | 0.692308 |
But it appears that defiance has finally came to an end with his shock disqualification from office by Pakistan's Supreme Court.
Its announcement came two months after it convicted the premier of contempt because of his refusal to ask Swiss authorities to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
Mr Gilani's strategy of not appealing against his conviction so as not to antagonise the court appears to have failed.
His determination to stand up for himself helped Mr Gilani grow in stature in the eyes of many Pakistanis.
He became the longest-serving prime minister in the history of Pakistan, where civilian governments have been repeatedly overthrown by the powerful military, often with the support of the Supreme Court.
When he was appointed to the job in March 2008 many commentators did not expect his tenure would be long. But he repeatedly rose to the challenge and fended off his critics.
In April 2012, Mr Gilani seemed in a stronger position than at any point during his confrontation with the Supreme Court.
Although he was found guilty of contempt, the court gave him only a symbolic sentence and he did not have to serve any time in jail. The prime minister had argued that the president, who rejects the charges, had immunity as head of state.
In April, the court in effect backed down from its efforts to remove the elected prime minister, and its symbolic judgement and token sentence were seen as something of a personal victory for Mr Gilani - the judiciary, the army and the opposition had apparently failed in their efforts to remove him.
It is not clear whether Mr Gilani will now try to appeal against his disqualification. The ruling Pakistan People's Party should have the necessary majority in parliament to elect a new prime minister.
In spite of his conviction, Mr Gilani emerged from his trial with his reputation enhanced, having succeeded in portraying himself as a man defending democracy in the face of a politically motivated campaign against him and his government.
Throughout his time in office it was clear that whatever the criticisms levelled at him - from poor governance to corruption - no party wanted to be seen as the one to bring down yet another elected government in Pakistan.
Supporters said that his long period as PM reflected Mr Gilani's sound political judgement and staying power.
He refrained from followed the bidding of former President Pervez Musharraf, despite heavy pressure by his government to coerce him into joining many of his Pakistan People's Party (PPP) colleagues in switching sides.
Mr Gilani's refusal to do a deal with Mr Musharraf is much admired within his party.
He went to jail in 2001, serving five years following a conviction over illegal government appointments that were alleged to have taken place during his term as Speaker of parliament between 1993-96.
A tall, softly-spoken man with an air of authority, he has acquired a reputation for doing the right thing.
Yousuf Raza Gilani was born on 9 June 1952 in Karachi in the southern province of Sindh, but his family comes from Punjab.
The Gilanis are among the most prominent of landowners and spiritual leaders in the south of Punjab province. Their home town is the ancient city of Multan.
The family's prominence naturally led to its members vying for political power.
Mr Gilani's grandfather and great-uncles joined the All India Muslim League and were signatories of the 1940 Pakistan resolution. This was the declaration which eventually led to partition.
His father, Alamdar Hussain Gilani, served as a provincial minister in the 1950s.
Mr Gilani joined up in 1978 when he became a member of the Muslim League's central leadership.
This was soon after he completed his MA in journalism at the University of Punjab. His first term as a public servant was as a nominee of General Zia-ul-Haq.
The then Pakistan army chief had been the country's dictator since overthrowing elected Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in a 1977 coup.
Mr Bhutto was executed in 1979, an act that forever soured the relationship between the army and the PPP.
Mr Gilani joined Mr Bhutto's PPP in 1988, months before Gen Zia's death brought an end to its political exile.
Observers say it is his loyalty and his disdain for politicking within the party that earned him the nomination for prime minister.
"[Mr Gilani] was perhaps the only man among the top leadership who did not badger Zardari for this or any other position," says one PPP insider. "This along with the fact of his proven loyalty, earned him the nod."
But it was his independent thinking that won him many admirers after taking over as the country's chief executive.
Correspondents say his first few months were uncomfortable, with many doubting whether he had the charisma and standing to lead the country.
This feeling was strengthened when Mr Zardari, the PPP chairman, was elected president.
It was felt Mr Zardari would now take a more hands-on approach to government - leaving Mr Gilani as little more than a figurehead.
That did not happen and Mr Gilani grew in stature as his term progressed.
He had to contend with some of the worst crises in Pakistan's history, including extensive flooding, rising Taliban militancy and deteriorating relations with the US after the killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden. | Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has proved himself to be a wily and resilient political operator who up until June 2012 had persistently defied his critics and the might of the judiciary to cling onto his job. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "17853458"} | 1,195 | 56 | 0.515578 | 1.479164 | 0.795421 | 1.2 | 25.85 | 0.75 |
Sunday, 7 October is the 60th anniversary of the barcode patent, filed in the US in 1952.
However the distinctive black-and-white stripes did not make their first appearance in an American shop until 1974 - because the laser technology used to read them did not exist.
GS1 said the QR code was not a threat to the traditional linear barcode.
A QR (Quick Response) code is an image made up of dots, which can contain more data than a barcode.
"They have different purposes - the barcode on the side of a tin of beans is for point-of-sale scanning. It ensures the consumer is charged the right amount and updates stock records," said Gary Lynch, chief executive of GS1 UK.
"The QR code's main purpose is to take the person that scans it to an extended multi media environment. Technically you can combine the two but nobody's asking for that right now."
The first item to be scanned by a barcode was a packet of chewing gum in an Ohio supermarket in 1974.
But the black-and-white stripes did not get a universal welcome, with some wine manufacturers refusing to incorporate barcodes onto their labels for aesthetic reasons.
Now it occasionally doubles as body art, with US singer Pink among those who sport a barcode tattoo.
"Barcodes are an icon and rightly so - we're quite pleased about it," said Mr Lynch.
"But if one of my daughters had one in homage to her father I'd be rather upset." | There are now more than five million individual barcodes in use around the world, according to regulator GS1 UK. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "19849141"} | 336 | 26 | 0.518928 | 1.319594 | 0.01082 | 0.857143 | 14.52381 | 0.571429 |
More than 350 scientists will attend the four-day British Science Festival at Swansea University from Tuesday.
It features talks and lectures from experts in different fields.
Hilary Lappin-Scott said there was a shortage of core workers in Wales and it was important to bring in more girls and keep women in those careers.
The university is running a session on promoting women in science and how to get girls interested.
Ms Lappin-Scott, who is also a microbiologist, told BBC Radio Wales: "I'm so committed to getting our young girls through the Swansea region and south Wales so that they get a passion for science - that they meet women scientists and engineers just like me and others and realise we're just pretty normal people really, and then we can have a bright future."
"Bringing in more girls and keeping women in stem careers, it'll make such a difference to our Welsh economy."
She added that making the stem subjects science, technology, maths and engineering "cool" was key.
"We do need all to work with our young children and give support to school teachers and parents.
"Maths, science, these are at the base of everything we do in everyday life. [There are] ways that we can make science cool as well, and you come along to the festival and you get that by the bucket load," she told Good Morning Wales. | Making science appeal to more girls will help the Welsh economy, the pro vice chancellor of Swansea University has said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37283937"} | 301 | 28 | 0.61057 | 1.516385 | 0.500497 | 1 | 12.681818 | 0.727273 |
Russia was banned from international competition after a damning report by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada).
But Vitaly Mutko argued not lifting the ban for the 2016 Rio Olympics would be "unfair and disproportionate" and that clean athletes should not be punished.
They will have been rigorously tested by Rio, he wrote in the Sunday Times.
Wada's report depicted a culture of systematic state-sponsored cheating by Russia's athletes, with even the secret services involved.
It said the All-Russia Athletics Federation (Araf), the Russian anti-doping agency (Rusada), and the Russian Athletics Federation had failed to comply with anti-doping procedures.
"We do not deny having a problem in Russia, and we are doing everything possible at state level to eradicate doping, including punishing athletes and coaches found to have violated anti-doping rules," Mutko wrote.
"But doping is a global problem, not just a Russian problem."
Mutko said by the time Rio gets under way in August, Russian athletes hoping to compete will have been through a minimum of three anti-doping controls by the sport's world governing body - the IAAF - in addition to in-competition testing.
"These are men and women who have sacrificed years of their lives striving to compete at the very highest level, who have dreamed of taking part in the Olympic Games, and who now face having their sacrifice wasted and their dreams shattered," he said.
"The reasons for the All-Russian Athletics Federation being suspended from the IAAF have been well documented.
"They are weighty. Serious mistakes have been made by the federation management, along with athletes and coaches who have broken anti-doping rules and neglected the principle of fair play, so fundamental to sport, for immediate benefits.
"Let us be clear. We are ashamed of them."
However, Mutko stopped short of admitting the doping scandal was state sponsored.
"We are very sorry that athletes who tried to deceive us, and the world, were not caught sooner. We are very sorry because Russia is committed to upholding the highest standards in sport and is opposed to anything that threatens the Olympic values," he said.
He added that measures put in place since the ban - including handing over all testing to the UK Anti-Doping Agency until Russia's own programme is restored, changing the leadership of Russian athletics and handing over alleged doping cases to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne - mean testing is now "extra transparent".
"No other country's athletes will have been placed under the spotlight to the same degree as ours will be," Mutko wrote. "Such an intense glare does not allow anywhere for cheats to hide.
"We have done everything that has been asked of us by the IAAF in order to be reinstated.
"It would be unjust to demand all these changes and measures, witness them happen, and then still punish Russia's athletes." | Russia is "very sorry" and "ashamed" of cheating athletes who were not caught by its anti-doping systems, the country's sports minister has said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36295481"} | 677 | 39 | 0.57498 | 1.40359 | 0.094384 | 1.6875 | 18.4375 | 0.875 |
North Kessock-based Charlie Phillips has spent years observing and photographing the mammals along the firth's Highland and Moray coastlines.
Many of the dolphins can be easily identified by the WDC field officer and others who work for the charity.
The animals are known by names including Zephyr and Yoda.
Among the animals photographed by Mr Phillips on Thursday was Zephyr's baby.
An estimated 102 individual dolphins breed and feed in the firth, according to a recent survey of the animals.

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show UK authorities should do more to stop it.
However, he said that tackling the issue required international agreement as well as domestic action.
His comments came after executives from Starbucks, Google and Amazon were grilled by MPs, although the firms say they operate within the tax rules.
The executives were questioned earlier this month by the Public Accounts Committee about how they used favourable European tax jurisdictions for their UK businesses.
Starbucks, for example, has made a taxable profit only once in its 15 years of operating in the UK. As a consequence, the company is thought to have paid just £8.6m in corporation tax over the period.
During the hearing with MPs, Starbucks admitted the Dutch government had granted a special tax deal on its European headquarters, which receives royalty payments from its UK business.
Mr Cable told Andrew Marr: "The best off in society have got to contribute more, and that includes companies."
He acknowledged that smaller companies, many of which face competitive pressures from the major firms, will be angered by the situation.
"There's nothing more galling to small and medium-sized enterprises when they are paying (tax), and others are dodging it," Mr Cable said. "Our own tax authorities have got to be very tough on things like royalty payments, which is where a lot of the subterfuge takes place."
However, he said that finding a solution was difficult, especially as the UK had to make itself attractive to inward investors. "The big question is whether you can get wider (international) agreement," he said.
As companies are using favourable tax jurisdictions overseas there needs to "a combination of action at the international level as well as beef up our own capacity to deal with it".
Mr Cable said: "It is quite difficult to drill down to what the problems are. Starbucks claims they are actually making losses in the UK. I don't know whether they are not but you would need some pretty intensive investigation by the Inland Revenue to establish what exactly is going on, whether their transfer prices and their royalties are being fiddled or not."
All the companies under fire over the amount of corporation tax paid said that they operated within the tax rules and regulations and have done nothing wrong. | Business Secretary Vince Cable has condemned corporate tax avoidance as "completely unacceptable", saying there are "appalling stories of abuse". | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "20384428"} | 485 | 28 | 0.468784 | 1.167184 | 0.14206 | 0.64 | 18.28 | 0.56 |
James Brindley was talking to his girlfriend on his phone when he was attacked in Aldridge town centre shortly before midnight on Friday.
Det Insp Jim Munro said four boys aged 16, leaving their school prom, helped Mr Brindley and called his parents.
West Midlands Police has released CCTV of four vehicles seen near the scene.
Mr Munro appealed for people in the cars, which were travelling along Little Aston Road towards the town centre at the time of the incident, to come forward.
"We are very keen to speak to the occupants of those cars, two light in colour and the other two darker, as they may have seen what happened and could lead us to the killer," he said.
Describing the attack as "callous", Mr Munro said "the motive is unclear".
"This is an awful incident which has taken place in Aldridge town centre. He had been on a night out and had been enjoying time with his friends and has ended up dying in his parents' arms," he said.
Mr Munro said the attack "lasted just seconds" and the four teenagers, who were first to help Mr Brindley, gave him first aid and called the emergency services.
A post-mortem examination found the 26-year-old died from a single stab wound to his heart.
Officers are conducting "extensive searches" for the murder weapon, which could be a knife or other sharp object.
Mr Munro said: "James' family and friends are devastated by his loss and we need to bring his killer to justice.

More than half of the inmates at HMP Cornton Vale in Stirling will be relocated to HMP Polmont, near Falkirk, later this year.
It marks the first phase of plans to close the facility.
Mr Matheson has also said that construction of a new national women's prison will begin in mid 2018.
The Scottish government announced plans to build the facility, which will cater for 80 offenders, last summer.
It will be built close to the existing Cornton Vale prison and will house the country's most serious female offenders.
Another five regional units will also be created by 2020 to house up to 20 female prisoners each.
Mr Matheson said the move to Polmont's newest accommodation, Blair House, would offer improved facilities for women in custody until the new units are complete.
He added: "By housing these women in smaller, community bases units closer to their families, alongside providing additional support to address the underlying issues which fuel their crime such as drugs, alcohol or mental ill-health, we can stop them from committing further crimes in the future.
"It is totally unacceptable that we have the second highest female prison population in northern Europe. This government continues to prioritise efforts to reduce the number of men and women serving custodial sentences.
"The actions we are taking are about tackling this problem head on through smarter approaches which can reduce prison numbers in Scotland."
Mr Matheson blocked previous plans for a new 300-inmate jail in Inverclyde in January 2015.
Cornton Vale, which was built in 1975, has had a notorious history, being nicknamed "the Vale of death" after 11 prisoners killed themselves there between 1995 and 2002.
Despite attempts to improve conditions, ministers decided Cornton Vale would close after former Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini's 2012 report said it was "not fit for purpose".
The most recent tally of women prisoners in Scotland put the total at 412, with 76 of them being on remand.
Of the total, 222 were being held at Cornton Vale.
Scottish Prison Service chief executive Colin McConnell said: "Cornton Vale has been a serious concern for our service and for the justice system for far too long and it's truly rewarding that with the government's support and leadership we are now on the journey to seeing the back of it.
"The move for a large number of women to the fresh and modern conditions at Polmont will in itself be a significant improvement, making things better for them but also better for those who will remain at Cornton Vale for now." | The closure of Scotland's only female prison will begin this summer, Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has confirmed. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35544545"} | 563 | 24 | 0.558538 | 1.426191 | 0.107989 | 1.05 | 25 | 0.75 |
The star is filming the newest instalment of the blockbuster series in County Kerry.
He took a break from the set to visit Scoil Fheirtearaigh National School in Ballyferriter on Monday.
The visit was arranged after some pupils sent impressive artwork to director Rian Johnson.
Principal Mairín Ní Chartúir said the school heard about the possible visit last Friday.
"We received a call from the production team asking could they pay a surprise visit to the kids on Monday.
"Of course, we said yes and were told to not let anyone know about the visit and the parents were told on Monday that the kids would be staying an hour later for the surprise.

Lord Morris of Aberavon said the inquiry committee was a "disgrace" for delaying its report, and parliament could vote to force it to publish.
Chairman Sir John Chilcot has previously written to the PM to say he cannot set a timetable for publication.
The independent inquiry was set up in 2009 and was meant to report in 2011.
Costing £10m to date, it was commissioned by the Labour government under Gordon Brown to investigate the background to UK involvement in the Iraq War, which began when Tony Blair was prime minister in 2003.
Speaking during a visit to Norwich on Friday, Mr Cameron said: "It's frustrating. We want this inquiry finished, it's for the good of the families, it's for the good of the country.
"People want to know the truth, they want this inquiry out, and so do I."
He has previously demanded a timetable for publication be set out "pretty soon".
British forces lost 179 personnel during the conflict, of whom 136 were killed in action.
Tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians died, and many were also killed later as a result of sectarian attacks and a violent insurgency.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Lord Morris said families of those killed, and the public, had waited for "an unfair amount of time" for its findings, and were "not served well".
He said the prime minister "could pull the plug if parliament gives a decision".
"It's parliament ultimately that is the guardian of independence, if an inquiry of this kind shows no sign of resolving itself.
"The prime minister has said repeatedly he's lost patience, the chancellor has said he's lost patience - but there they are wringing their hands, and parliament hasn't had a debate in months and months on this issue."
A spokesman for the Chilcot inquiry told the BBC in a statement that "Sir John and his colleagues understand the anguish of the families of those who lost their lives in the conflict".
He added: "A timetable for the completion of the report will be provided once the Maxwellisation process is complete."
Much of the anger over the delay is focused on the "Maxwellisation" process, which gives the opportunity to individuals facing possible criticism in the report to respond.
Sir John has said he is making "significant progress", but is still awaiting responses.
But Lord Morris, who was chief legal adviser in Tony Blair's first administration from 1997 until 1999, said "Maxwellisation" could not be "elevated as a doctrine to the exclusion of the need of the public to know".
Fellow peer Lord Butler, chairman of the 2004 review which found that intelligence used to justify the invasion of Iraq was flawed, warned against rushing the inquiry.
"People have got to have confidence in it that it is right. All reasonable speed is the thing and where people would make a mistake is setting up an artificial timetable," he told the Daily Telegraph.
Sir Menzies Campbell, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, said some of his sympathy for the scale of the inquiry's task is "ebbing away".
"It ought, in ideal circumstances, to have been judge-led... supported by trained counsel, capable of presenting and cross-examining evidence," he said.
Sir Menzies also cited the recent judge-led Leveson Inquiry as an example of how to conduct similar proceedings.
"Sir John should give a general indication of when he's likely to publish. I find it very difficult to see why he won't do that.
"He should also tell us... how many people are being subject to the Maxwellisation process.
"He should say to [them], they have a legitimate private interest, no-one would deny that, but there is a legitimate public interest which they ought to observe."
Lord Owen, former Labour foreign secretary in the 1970s, said the main reason proceedings have taken so long "has been the withholding of evidence which the committee wanted, and had every right to demand, and that was particularly not what President Bush said to Tony Blair, the then prime minister, but what Tony Blair said to Bush".
Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve has told the BBC he disagreed with Lord Morris in calling for a parliamentary vote on the inquiry, to speed up publication.
He also called for "gentle pressure" from Parliament, rather than "shouting on the sidelines".
Chancellor George Osborne has also said the public were "running out of patience" - but in response to a question in parliament he indicated that the government would not step in.
The inquiry was "completely independent of government and we do not determine when it publishes its conclusions", he said. | Prime Minister David Cameron could step in and "pull the plug" on the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war, Tony Blair's former attorney general has said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34014601"} | 1,042 | 36 | 0.461032 | 1.138801 | -0.21848 | 2.225806 | 30.580645 | 0.935484 |

Mubarak was cleared in a retrial in November 2014 after originally being jailed for life over the death of 800 people during the revolution.
He was separately convicted of corruption and sentenced to three years in jail earlier this year.
Mubarak, 87, is currently in the Maadi military hospital in Cairo.
The judge at the Court of Cassation said Mubarak would be retried on 5 November. It will be the third time the case has been heard.
Mubarak had been convicted of conspiracy to kill in June 2012, but a retrial was ordered on a technicality the following year. The decision to drop the charges sparked protests, with demonstrators clashing with police near Tahrir Square.
The former president, who was in power for nearly 30 years, stepped down in February 2011 after mass protests against his rule.
He has faced a series of trials and retrials over the killings and corruption and the time he has spent in custody means he has already served his three-year jail term for embezzlement. | An appeals court in Egypt has ordered former President Hosni Mubarak to stand trial again over the killing of protesters in 2011. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33003424"} | 243 | 30 | 0.654007 | 1.325433 | 0.223143 | 0.782609 | 8.391304 | 0.608696 |
Of the 64.7 million calls made by taxpayers between April 2014 and March 2015, 27.5% - 17.8 million - were either unanswered or resulted in a busy tone.
HMRC's chief executive apologised for the figures and said the revenue's service had not been "up to scratch".
The service has pledged to invest £45m in about 3,000 customer services staff.
Another 2,000 staff will be moved temporarily from within the HMRC to help with the tax credits deadline and letters and forms, it said.
HMRC set a target to answer 80% of calls.
But the figures showed that in some months only about two in three (65.5%) of phone calls were answered.
In September 20.8% of people heard busy tones and could not join a phone queue when they called, while 13.7% of calls were not answered.
In total 7.2 million calls made to the HMRC last year - 11% of all calls - ended with people hearing a busy tone.
Lin Homer, HMRC chief executive, said: "Despite our best efforts, our call performance hasn't been up to scratch and we apologise to all those customers who have struggled to get through to us."
Ms Homer said the HMRC had already invested in new telephone equipment and online services.

18-year-old Billy Monger, from Charlwood in Surrey, was involved in a bad accident during a race at Donington Park on 16 April 2017.
He was badly injured, lost his lower legs and has spent nearly a month in hospital. But now he's on the mend.
Billy, who was 17 when the crash happened, thanked everyone for all the support he's received and said "I'll be back racing as soon as I can."

"I am perturbed by the fact that in my country, cows are considered more important than a woman, that it takes much longer for a woman who is raped or assaulted to get justice than for a cow which many Hindus consider a sacred animal," Delhi-based photographer Sujatro Ghosh told the BBC.
India is often in the news for crimes against women and, according to government statistics, a rape is reported every 15 minutes.
"These cases go on for years in the courts before the guilty are punished, whereas when a cow is slaughtered, Hindu extremist groups immediately go and kill or beat up whoever they suspect of slaughter."
The project, he says, is "his way of protesting" against the growing influence of the vigilante cow protection groups that have become emboldened since the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, came to power in the summer of 2014.
"I've been concerned over the Dadri lynching [when a Muslim man was killed by a Hindu mob over rumours that he consumed and stored beef] and other similar religious attacks on Muslims by cow vigilantes," Ghosh said.
In recent months, the humble cow has become India's most polarising animal.
The BJP insists that the animal is holy and should be protected. Cow slaughter is banned in several states, stringent punishment has been introduced for offenders and parliament is considering a bill to bring in the death penalty for the crime.
But beef is a staple for Muslims, Christians and millions of low-caste Dalits (formerly untouchables) who have been at the receiving end of the violence perpetrated by the cow vigilante groups.
Nearly a dozen people have been killed in the past two years in the name of the cow. Targets are often picked based on unsubstantiated rumours and Muslims have been attacked for even transporting cows for milk.
Ghosh, who is from the eastern city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), says he became aware of "this dangerous mix of religion and politics" only after he moved to Delhi a few years ago and that "this project is a silent form of protest that I think can make an impact".
So earlier this month, during a visit to New York, he bought the cow mask from a party shop and, on his return, began shooting for the series, taking pictures of women in front of tourist hotspots and government buildings, on the streets and in the privacy of their homes, on a boat and in a train, because "women are vulnerable everywhere".
"I photographed women from every part of society. I started the project from Delhi since the capital city is the hub of everything - politics, religion, even most debates start here.
"I took the first photo in front of the iconic India Gate, one of the most visited tourist places in India. Then I photographed a model in front of the presidential palace, another on a boat in the Hooghly river in Kolkata with the Howrah bridge as the backdrop."
His models have so far been friends and acquaintances because, he says, "it's such a sensitive topic, it would have been difficult to approach strangers".
Two weeks ago when he launched the project on Instagram, the response was "all positive. It went viral within the first week, my well wishers and even people I didn't know appreciated it."
But after the Indian press covered it and put out their stories on Facebook and Twitter, the backlash began.
"Some wrote comments threatening me. On Twitter people started trolling me, some said I, along with my models, should be taken to Delhi's Jama Masjid [mosque] and slaughtered, and that our meat should be fed to a woman journalist and a woman writer the nationalists despise. They said they wanted to see my mother weep over my body."
Some people also contacted the Delhi police, "accusing me of trying to instigate riots and asking them to arrest me".
Ghosh is not surprised by the vitriol and admits that his work is an "indirect comment" on the BJP.
"I'm making a political statement because it's a political topic, but if we go deeper into the things, then we see that Hindu supremacy was always there, it has just come out in the open with this government in the past two years."
The threats, however, have failed to scare him. "I'm not afraid because I'm working for the greater good," he says.
A positive fallout of the project going viral has been that he's got loads of messages from women from across the globe saying they too want to be a part of this campaign.
So the cow, he says, will keep travelling. | A photography project which shows women wearing a cow mask and asks the politically explosive question - whether women are less important than cattle in India - has gone viral in the country and earned its 23-year-old photographer the ire of Hindu nationalist trolls. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40404102"} | 1,075 | 59 | 0.424551 | 1.23009 | 0.461826 | 0.877551 | 19.081633 | 0.632653 |
The first Champions League of Darts, featuring the world's top eight players, will be shown live across the BBC and staged at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena between September 24-25.
"Darts is a huge deal in Wales and this was like the general election results for us," Hearn told BBC Wales Sport.
"We picked Cardiff because it is the fastest-selling venue we had."
He added: "We have 16 Premier League darts venue and always have a little race to see who sells out first.
"Cardiff has consistently won that race over the last three years, so we know there is the demand there.
"So two days, with the best eight players in the world, that's our way of saying thank you to Cardiff."
Hearn believes the event being on the BBC is a boost for the sport and his organisation.
"Being on the BBC is big news and another statement of how far the PDC has come," he said.
"It's good news they can announce a really world-class sporting event for their screens. I'm overjoyed."
Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport, said: "Darts has always had wide appeal and it is great that audiences will get the chance to see all the action from the world's top players live on BBC Two and across our platforms." | Professional Darts Corporation chairman Barry Hearn says "the fans deserve" top level darts to be played in Cardiff. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35536619"} | 291 | 28 | 0.589961 | 1.367904 | -0.143554 | 0.666667 | 12.904762 | 0.571429 |
Writing in the Journal of Aesthetic Nursing, clinicians say there is a growing trend for under-25s to seek the wrinkle-smoothing injections.
But the research suggests "frozen faces" could stop young people from learning how to express emotions fully.
A leading body of UK plastic surgeons says injecting teenagers for cosmetic reasons is "morally wrong".
Botox and other versions of the toxin work by temporarily paralysing muscles in the upper face to reduce wrinkling when people frown.
Nurse practitioner Helen Collier, who carried out the research, says reality TV shows and celebrity culture are driving young people to idealise the "inexpressive frozen face."
But she points to a well-known psychological theory, the facial feedback hypothesis, that suggests adolescents learn how best to relate to people by mimicking their facial expressions.
She says: "As a human being our ability to demonstrate a wide range of emotions is very dependent on facial expressions.
"Emotions such as empathy and sympathy help us to survive and grow into confident and communicative adults."
But she warns that a "growing generation of blank-faced" young people could be harming their ability to correctly convey their feelings.
"If you wipe those expressions out, this might stunt their emotional and social development," she says.
The research calls for practitioners to use assessment tools to decide whether there are clear clinical reasons for Botox treatment.
Several assessment scales exist that take into account how thick the skin is, how sun-damaged it appears, and the depth of any wrinkles, but experts warn that some Botox clinics are putting financial gain first.
Ms Collier calls on therapists to spend time helping young people boost their confidence rather than reaching for injections.
She adds: "Though most of the effects of the toxin are temporary, research suggests the muscles don't fully recover from injections.
"We really need to understand the consequences of starting treatments too soon."
Dr Michael Lewis, a researcher in psychology at Cardiff University, says: "The expressions we make on our face affect the emotions we feel.
"We smile because we are happy, but smiling also makes us happy.
"Treatment with drugs like Botox prevents the patient from being able to make a particular expression and can therefore have an effect on our learning to feel emotions naturally."
Rajiv Grover, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, says: "Injecting teenagers with Botox for cosmetic purposes is morally wrong and something that no ethical practitioner would do.
"This can only exacerbate body image issues at a vulnerable time."
Ms Collier's research will be presented at the Clinical Cosmetic and Reconstructive Expo in October. | Giving young people Botox treatment may restrict their emotional growth, experts warn. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "29174929"} | 600 | 17 | 0.515872 | 1.425421 | 0.604488 | 1.285714 | 37.571429 | 0.714286 |
People will be able to use it to report crimes, pay fines and get information by tapping a touchscreen on its chest.
Data collected by the robot will also be shared with the transport and traffic authorities.
The government said the aim was for 25% of the force to be robotic by 2030 but they would not replace humans.
"We are not going to replace our police officers with this tool," said Brig Khalid Al Razooqi, director general of smart services at Dubai Police.
"But with the number of people in Dubai increasing, we want to relocate police officers so they work in the right areas and can concentrate on providing a safe city.
"Most people visit police stations or customer service, but with this tool we can reach the public 24/7.
"It can protect people from crime because it can broadcast what is happening right away to our command and control centre."
The robot, a customised Reem model from Pal Robotics, was unveiled at the Gulf Information and Security Expo and Conference on Sunday.
At present it can communicate only in Arabic and English, but there are plans to add Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish to its repertoire.

In the city of Madison, filmmaker Michael Moore told them: "We're going to do this together. Don't give up."
Republican Governor Scott Walker has proposed stripping collective bargaining rights as part of a budget-cutting bill.
State Democrats fled to Illinois to prevent any legal vote on the bill.
Their absence deprives the state legislature of a quorum.
Senate Republicans voted on Thursday to hold the missing Democrats in contempt and force police to bring them back to the capitol.
Governor Walker on Friday sent out redundancy warning notices to unions representing state workers following the failure to pass the bill.
He says the measures are needed to tackle a $3.6bn budget gap over the next two years.
Mr Moore said: "Madison is only the beginning. The rich have overplayed their hand."
Senator Chris Larson also urged protesters to remain strong.
"We've been here for the last 16 days [and] we'll continue to be here until worker's rights are removed as the target in this budget repair bill by our governor," he said.
Mr Walker has said his proposal would balance the state's budget without raising taxes or cutting jobs.
The bill, which must pass in both chambers of the legislature, is part of a broader economic policy that aims to get the deficit under control in part by restricting public employees' collective bargaining rights and by requiring them to contribute more to their pensions and healthcare.
State unions have said they will agree to Mr Walker's proposed changes to their benefits - which would amount to an 8% pay cut - as long as they retain collective bargaining rights.
Critics of Mr Walker's proposal say it is intended to weaken the power of the unions, which tend to back the Democrats in elections.
Republicans, who in November took control of the US House of Representatives and state capitols across the country, have praised Mr Walker's bid to balance the budget without raising taxes. | Thousands of people have joined protests in the US state of Wisconsin against proposals that will limit the power of trade unions. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "12658349"} | 426 | 27 | 0.482375 | 1.233183 | 0.388948 | 0.956522 | 16.73913 | 0.608696 |
Kyle Perkins, 25, of Cwmaman, crashed on Bryn Terrace, Aberdare, on 3 August.
Sammy-Jo Davies, 19, died and six others suffered serious injuries.
At Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Tuesday, Perkins pleaded guilty to three charges, including causing death by dangerous driving.
Both his and his victims' families had to be kept at opposite ends of the courtroom and police officers were present after angry confrontations.
Perkins confirmed his name and pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving, causing death by dangerous driving, and aggravated vehicle taking, along with admitting driving without insurance.

On a campaign visit to Barry, he told BBC Wales an extra £350m would come to Wales from new taxes within the first year of his party taking power.
He said the longer-term picture would depend on the results of a spending review once Labour settled into office.
Mr Miliband said the party's "broad approach" was to have "fair" taxes, cut the deficit, and "balance the books".
"As a result of the tax changes that we've announced like the mansion tax, the bank bonus tax and other tax changes, £350m extra will be coming to Wales and that'll be happening within about the first year of a Labour government," he said.
"As for the decisions on the precise allocations of the budget in terms of what happens overall, that's going to wait for our spending review in government because we've got to look at the books.
"We've said we're going to protect key areas like health and education and that will obviously have a positive effect on the block grant for Wales.
"But we're going to get the deficit down and we're determined to do so."
Mr Miliband also set out Labour's plan for action on immigration within 100 days of taking office.
It includes an extra 1,000 border staff, full exit checks and measures to stop serious criminals entering Britain.
This issue includes EU and worldwide migration, border controls and rules on work and benefits.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Attacking the government's record, Mr Miliband said: "David Cameron once promised to cut net immigration to tens of thousands and told people to throw him out of office if he didn't deliver. He has broken that promise, with net migration standing at 298,000.
"Nothing damages people's faith in politics more than broken promises like that."
Elsewhere on the campaign trail on Tuesday, the Welsh Conservatives were promoting a plan to help people buy their first home.
The Help to Buy ISA, announced in the Budget in March and due to take effect in the autumn, will give first time buyers a 25% bonus on savings made towards a deposit on their first home.
The Tories claim it could help 45,000 people in Wales get onto the housing ladder in the next five years.
Welsh Conservative chairman Jonathan Evans said theirs was "the party of home ownership and aspiration".
"For many thousands of people across Wales the idea of owning a home was once a distant dream," he added.
"Thanks to the changes we have brought in over the past five years, such as amending the way Stamp Duty is collected and introducing the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme, buying a home has become a real possibility."
Meanwhile the Liberal Democrats have launched a manifesto specific to Cardiff, with local priorities including cleaner streets, keeping local libraries open, and a "city deal" of investment to boost the local economy.
Welsh leader Kirsty Williams said: "This is an ambitious manifesto for the people of our capital city, building on our Wales and UK manifestos with truly local priorities to ensure we create opportunity for everyone in Cardiff."
Also on the campaign trail on Tuesday, Plaid Cymru is promising to end what it calls a "postcode lottery" over funding for patients to get new drugs and new types of treatment on the NHS.
Health spokesperson Elin Jones said the party would ring-fence a £50m rebate from drugs companies to spend on the scheme, and would set up a national panel to ensure equal access to such treatment for patients wherever they lived in Wales. | Ed Miliband has declined to say whether Wales will be safe from funding cuts under a future Labour UK government. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32480655"} | 777 | 25 | 0.408378 | 1.023949 | -0.285079 | 0.714286 | 33.952381 | 0.619048 |

The visit to Turf Moor takes place on the first anniversary of the stillbirth of Arter's daughter Renee.
The 26-year-old starred in a 2-1 win over Manchester United just days after Renee's death last December.
"It will be a strange sort of moment against Burnley," Arter told BBC Radio Solent. "We see Renee's birthday as a milestone, which will be difficult."
Arter's family raised £13,000 through a charity auction in aid of other bereaved families in the months after Renee's death.
But approaching the anniversary, Arter admits emotions on and off the pitch will be high.
"It's always going to be a memory for my family either a year or 20 years on," he said. "We'll never be able to forget it and it's not something I would want to be able to forget.

On Monday images emerged showing security force officers apparently firing on protesters.
President Nicolas Maduro also announced the recruitment of 40,000 new police officers and national guardsmen.
Meanwhile Venezuela faced accusations of human rights abuses, at a meeting of the Organization of American States.
The military reshuffle includes the removal of Gen Antonio Benavides Torres, the head of the National Guard, who protesters accuse of being behind many of the attacks against them.
Mr Maduro also said he was replacing the heads of the army, navy and the central strategic command.
There was public outrage after photos emerged appearing to show members of the National Guard firing directly at protesters in Caracas on Monday. Another demonstrator was shot dead.
The government has blamed the opposition for the violence at the protests saying it uses teenagers and children as "cannon fodder".
In May, Venezuela's attorney general, Luisa Ortega said she had witness statements that a protester had been hit by a tear gas canister fired at close range by the National Guard.
She said the security forces had broken international rights law.
Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez also warned the security forces this month not to commit "atrocities" after police were filmed attacking and robbing demonstrators.
At a meeting of the 34-nation Organization of American States (OAS) in Mexico, 12 countries called on President Maduro to respect human rights and announce an election timetable.
In response, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez accused the Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, of trying to plunge her country into civil war.
She described Venezuela's critics as "lapdogs of imperialism".
Despite huge oil reserves, Venezuela is facing a shortage of basic items, including food and medicines as well rampant crime.
The opposition says the socialist governments of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, have wrecked the economy and increasingly suppressed dissent.

Warnock told Cardiff's website: "I tried to sign Sol a few years ago when he was at Leicester, on a couple of occasions. They didn't come off then, but now is the right time and opportunity to bring him in.
"Sol's a leader and he's another good addition for us."

Rather than join the 10th British club of a nomadic career after leaving Gateshead, the 25-year-old midfielder headed for India to join champions Bengaluru FC in the I-League.
"India was somewhere I'd never even thought of going on holiday, let alone to play football," Walker told BBC Inside Out.
"The things I was being offered to stay in the United Kingdom, I thought, it's time to try something new."
Culturally, the move to India has given him a new perspective.
As his Bangalore-based team's 'marquee' signing for 2014-15, Walker is a player to be respected and an ambassador for the growing league - featuring on billboards to promote football to a cricket-mad population.
"It's different, sights you see on the road and the street," the Tynesider continued.
"You might find a few cats on the streets in England but here you see a load of cows just roaming the streets.
"The fans are that fanatical, you're known. It makes you more professional because you're an idol to them."
If Walker was unsure of the lifestyle he would encounter, his on-the-field experiences were even more of a surprise.
However, he had heard good things from former Boro academy team-mate John Johnson who was already with Bengaluru, and was also reunited with another man he used to play with in manager Ashley Westwood.
"The football is a lot better than what I imagined," Walker said.
"I didn't know anything about Indian football until John came out here.
"Since I've been here there's some real talent, we've got some good young Indian players and the Indian captain."
The I-League - not to be confused with the high-profile Indian Super League tournament which started last year - was set up in 2007 and features 11 teams.
Walker's team are fifth in the league and had an average attendance last season of 7,038 - a far cry from Gateshead's 886.
For the lad from Killingworth in Newcastle to find himself in India at all is something of a surprise, given his early promise.
After making the grade with Middlesbrough, to the extent that he made his Premier League debut at the age of 17, Walker says he found not being involved tough to take as a hungry young player.
"I wanted to play week in, week out in the Premier League at 17," he said.
"I'd find myself knocking on managers' doors at 17 or 18 asking why I wasn't playing. I look back and to be honest I cringe at myself."
Current England Under-21 manager Gareth Southgate was team-mate and then manager of Walker during his Boro career.
"He was a really good professional from a really young age, with a great attitude to the game and he captained England at youth level for a couple of years," Southgate said.
"You always wonder whether to give youngsters their debut and we did - he did really well.
"It's a new opportunity and a great life experience for him."
Walker is not the only player out of contract to consider the switch to new climes.
"It's become more of a thing because it is tough at home," team-mate Johnson said.
"When you take a step abroad you can see it's exciting and different, it's a definitely a thing that will become more and more popular with English players."
In addition to Walker and Johnson, ex-Bristol Rovers striker Daryl Duffy, former Rochdale winger Leo Bertos and Romuald Boco - who made more than 100 league appearances for Accrington Stanley - are other known names in this growing entity.
For some it is the experience, for others the attraction is purely financial.
"I'm out here for a year and only here to save enough money to be able to buy our house - we bought a house in the summer," said Curtis Osano, whose professional career in England took in Luton, Reading and Rushden & Diamonds.
"There's no way I'd have stayed in England for 10 years grafting and trying to get as much money as I can, borrowing money from wherever to put money down on a house with the way the climate is in the UK."
The only downside for Walker is the distance between him and his partner, not to mention a two-year-old daughter.
Yet the rewards are great and he would consider bringing his family over to India if he is successful during his spell at Bengaluru.
"I don't have any regrets about coming, not at all," he said.
"It's incredibly hard missing my daughter and I miss her everyday but at the end of the day I've got to work and this is my job.
"My career was going nowhere back home. I got an opportunity here and I'm going to grab it with both hands." | When former England Under-20 captain Josh Walker found himself without a club last summer, a move to a place where "a load of cows just roam the streets" intrigued him more than any other. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "31167593"} | 1,129 | 44 | 0.451909 | 1.313768 | 0.636244 | 1.552632 | 26.473684 | 0.815789 |
The University of Strathclyde's Fraser of Allander Institute is investing in new research and postgraduate fellows.
A new director designate will also join the institute in April, while a board of advisers featuring leading economists will be created.
It also plans to expand its economic research services for the third sector, government, business and industry.
The university said the move was "particularly timely", with the Scottish Parliament soon to assume greater tax and spending powers.
It added that the expanded institute would be able to provide decision-makers, the media and the public "with even greater leading-edge independent economic analysis than before".
The institute's new director designate will be Prof Graeme Roy, a former senior economic adviser in the Scottish government.
The board of advisors will be chaired by Prof Andrew Goudie and include the chief economists of both the Scottish and UK governments.
Further details will be announced at an event at the Scottish Parliament to mark the institute's 40th anniversary.
Ahead of the event, University of Strathclyde principal Prof Sir Jim McDonald described the investment as a "step change" for the institute.
He said: "At a time when the Scottish Parliament is gaining significant new powers and responsibilities and the future of the UK's economic and financial system is undergoing a major re-think, the need for independent economic and fiscal analysis has never been greater.
"With more than four decades of economic forecasting experience behind it, the Fraser of Allander Institute is uniquely placed to provide the independent research and analysis needed to inform public debate and decision making.
"This new investment will enable the institute to spearhead new research into public spending and finance that will be of relevance not just in Scotland and the UK, but also internationally."
The institute regularly publishes an economic commentary, which includes forecasts and detailed analysis of the Scottish economy.
It also carries out surveys of the economy on a regular basis. | A leading economic institute is to mark its 40th anniversary by boosting its research capabilities. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35461445"} | 413 | 19 | 0.500231 | 1.263325 | 0.402617 | 1.25 | 23.6875 | 0.875 |
Part of the area at Llanberis in Gwynedd was home to a former RAF ammunitions store that was cleared in the 1970s.
A report for the developers suggests some unexploded munitions could remain buried in the former quarry.
But it said German nerve gas was removed and destroyed decades ago.
The power company Snowdonia Pump Hydro (SPH) want to use the old Glyn Rhonwy quarry as the site of a 600 MWh pumped electricity storage facility.
Those proposals are now being considered by the UK's Planning Inspectorate.
However, opponents of the scheme in the area have concerns over possible contamination at the Glyn Rhonwy workings.
The slate quarry was used as a secret munitions store during WW2, and later it was used to dispose of old and surplus bombs, bullets and grenades.
Thousands of tonnes of weapons ended up in quarry pits there, prompting a massive RAF clean-up operation that only ended in the mid-1970s.
The 'Concerned about Glyn Rhonwy' group said they believed that chemical weapons may have also been dumped or buried at the site..
A consultant's report confirmed that 70,000 German tabun nerve gas shells seized following WW2 were held at the Llanberis quarry for a short time.
They were later moved to another facility near Caernarfon, and eventually dumped at sea.
SPH commissioned consultants Zetica to examine issues surrounding unexploded munitions at the site, as part of the planning process.
"Nobody takes this issue lightly," stressed a spokesman for the hydro power company.
"We rely on the information in the Zetica report. It confirms that the German tabun bombs were held for a short time in a secure area at Glyn Rhonwy. There is no evidence that they were stored in any other area."
The consultants stated that an official UK board of inquiry in the 1960s found "all German chemical weapons appeared to have been successfully removed from RAF Llanberis".
But the Glyn Rhonwy campaigners have insisted that there can be no guarantees that every single tabun shell was removed.
"We think there is at least one discarded tabun bomb on the site," said Jeff Taylor, from the campaign group.
He said that was based on documents uncovered in an archive relating to the quarry, which showed images of tabun bombs in Germany, and what appears to be the case of a similar bomb lying in a slate rock crevice.
"It is circumstantial evidence, but it is pretty damaging circumstantial evidence," argued Mr Taylor.
Chemist Dr Dave Peskett, who has carried out research on the issue for the campaign group, said he had seen documents suggesting discarded mustard gas shells had also been dumped at the quarry in the past.
The allegation is also disputed.
But Dr Peskett added: "It is not just the munitions that are the issue here. There's a huge pile of toxic residue there.
"Someone has to come in and remediate that site before any development takes place."
The spokesman for SPH said tests had been carried out on water samples in the quarry in both 2012 and 2015, and no contamination was found.
They added that "in the unlikely event" that unexploded ordnance was uncovered at Glyn Rhonwy, it would be dealt with in a "rigorous" process.
"It will ensure the safety of the people and the environment," said the official.
BBC Wales has asked the Ministry of Defence to respond to concerns surrounding the site.
However, a freedom of information request for details regarding the German nerve gas at Llanberis by the Concerned group was rejected stating that "release of the information would enable ill-disposed persons or organisations to act against the national interest, and that therefore on balance the information should be withheld". | Campaigners opposed to a planned hydro-electric pumping station in Snowdonia say the site could be contaminated by World War Two nerve gas. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36026703"} | 870 | 32 | 0.494524 | 1.348423 | 0.561727 | 0.84 | 29.04 | 0.6 |
However, Adlene Guedioura is close to a first-team return after recovering from a groin strain.
Southampton boss Claude Puel may include striker Charlie Austin, who has been out since December with a dislocated shoulder.
Defender Matt Targett could also make his return after a long-term absence.
John Roder: "Back in August, I was at the Riverside for Match of the Day for Middlesbrough's return to the Premier League. Following the 1-1 draw with Stoke there was an optimistic view that Boro could avoid an immediate return to the Championship, where they had spent the previous seven seasons.
"Nine months later relegation was confirmed at Chelsea on Monday, with Middlesbrough having won only five times in 36 league matches.
"Sofiane Boufal scored a wonderful goal for Saints when these teams met at St Mary's in December.
"However, goals have been at a premium for Boro all season and just recently for Southampton, who have to regain their scoring touch to ensure a top-10 finish. "

Middlesbrough head coach Steve Agnew: "After the disappointment of the other night, it has been an emotional time and understandably so, and I am no different. I feel responsibility for what has happened.
"But it's not about my future, it's not about my situation, it's about Middlesbrough Football Club.
"It's about us understanding where we are, it's about how we finish strongly in these last couple of games and then we regroup, have a good summer and make sure that we're in the fight to bounce back to the Premier League as quickly as we possibly can."
Southampton manager Claude Puel: "There's the possibility to finish in the first part of the table and that is very important to us.
"If we can have a good result against Middlesbrough, we can prepare for our last two games at home with good possibilities, good intensity."
Let's give Claude Puel some credit for what he has done in his first season at Southampton, because he has been without some key players for long periods, on top of the talent that left the club in the summer and then in January too.
Saints have still always been comfortable in mid-table, and reached the final of the League Cup.
Middlesbrough, meanwhile, went down with a whimper.

Landlords who fail to meet the "tougher" minimum standards would face fines of up to £100,000, Labour said.
The proposals include requirements for safe wiring and appliances, freedom from damp and general good repair.
But the Conservatives said the plan could increase people's rent.
Shadow housing secretary John Healey said the proposals would empower renters to "call time on bad landlords" by setting standards to ensure homes were "fit for human habitation".
The party would also introduce new powers for councils to license landlords and fine those who break the rules.
It cited the example of Labour-run Newham Council in east London, where landlords pay £150 per property for a five-year licence and are fined up to £20,000 if they fail to do so.
Mr Healey said: "Our homes are at the centre of our lives, but at the moment renters too often don't have basic consumer rights that we take for granted in other areas.
"In practice, you have fewer rights renting a family home than you do buying a fridge-freezer.
"As a result, too many are forced to put up with unacceptable, unfit and downright dangerous housing."
Labour said its own analysis, based on the 2014 English Housing Survey, showed that tenants in England were spending £800m a month - or £9.6bn a year - on homes the government classes as "non-decent".
About a quarter of this, £2.3bn a year, was paid by housing benefit, the party said.
Mr Healey said the introduction of "proper minimum standards" would put renters "back in control".
"Most landlords provide decent homes that tenants are happy with, but these rogue landlords are ripping off both renters and the taxpayer by making billions from rent and housing benefit letting out sub-standard homes," he said.
"After seven years of failure the Conservatives have no plan to fix the housing crisis."
But Conservative housing minister Gavin Barwell said licensing landlords would hit renters because the cost of the licences would be passed on in higher rent.
Mr Barwell said: "This is just another misjudged and nonsensical Jeremy Corbyn idea: a town hall 'tenants' tax' that would hit every tenant in the pocket with higher rents.
"We want to help people have good quality housing, which is why we have taken targeted action against the small minority of rogue landlords, without hitting every single home with expensive municipal red tape that will force up costs and reduce supply." | Labour has promised a "consumer rights revolution" for renters in England if it wins the general election, with the introduction of new legal standards for rented homes. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39767961"} | 562 | 38 | 0.499667 | 1.300137 | 0.356104 | 1.096774 | 16.096774 | 0.774194 |
A signal confirming its alert status was received by controllers in Darmstadt, Germany, at 18:17 GMT.
Rosetta has spent the past 31 months in hibernation to conserve power as it arced beyond the orbit of Jupiter on a path that should take it to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August.
Engineers will now finesse the probe's trajectory and prepare its instruments for the daring encounter.
One of the highlights of the mission will be the attempt to put a small robotic lander, Philae, on the surface of the 4.5km-wide comet. This will occur in November.
There were nail-biting moments in the Darmstadt control room as its flight engineers waited for the signal to come through. Three quarters of the way through the hour-long window of opportunity, they got what they were waiting for.
Gerhard Schwehm, mission manager for Rosetta, said: "After 31 months in hibernation, what is 45 minutes to wait?"
Andrea Accomazzo, the spacecraft operations manager, said: "I think it was the longest hour of my life, but also one of the most rewarding."
Monday's message, when it arrived, was a simple one - just a spike on the screens here at the European Space Agency's operations centre.
It was picked up in California by a 70m dish belonging to the US space agency, and then routed to Germany.
The signal contained no spacecraft telemetry, but its mere receipt from 800 million km away confirmed to controllers that Rosetta's automated systems were operating as expected.
In the coming hours and days, the Darmstadt team will talk to Rosetta to establish the full status of its systems.
It will be a slow process. The huge distance between the probe and Earth mean telecommands have a one-way travel time of 45 minutes.
Rosetta was put into hibernation in June 2011 because its trajectory through the Solar System was about to take it so far from the Sun that its solar panels would harvest minimal energy. The decision was therefore taken to put the spacecraft in a deep sleep.
Now that it is arcing back towards the Sun, more power is becoming available to operate the probe.
"From now until mid-March, we have planned virtually no activities on the spacecraft. We can afford to run only some basic check-outs," explained Andrea Accomazzo.
"But from mid-March to the end of April, we will be switching on the instruments one by one. We'll check them out and in a few cases even update their software."
From May, Rosetta will begin firing its thrusters to begin zeroing in on Comet 67P. Today, the separation is nine million km away. By mid-September, it will have been reduced to just 10km.
Launched back in 2004, Rosetta has taken a rather circuitous route out to its target.
This has involved making a number of flybys of the inner planets, using their gravity to pick up sufficient speed for the eventual encounter.
It has already delivered some fascinating science, particularly from the close passes it made to two asteroids - the rocks Steins, in 2008, and Lutetia, in 2010.
The plan is for Rosetta to escort the comet as it moves closer towards the Sun, monitoring the changes that take place on the body. The Philae lander will report changes that occur at the surface.
Comets - giant "dirty snowballs", as some have called them - are believed to contain materials that have remained largely unchanged since the formation of the Solar System 4.6bn years ago.
Rosetta's data should act therefore as a kind of time machine, to enable researchers to study how our local space environment has changed over time.
"We will sample the physical and chemical composition of the comet," said Matt Taylor, Esa's Rosetta project scientist.
"This will give us knowledge on how and where the comet was formed, and about its subsequent journey through the evolution of the Solar System.
"We can connect that as well to the formation of the planets themselves. And, in addition, the elemental make-up of the comet can be considered 'star stuff' - it will provide us knowledge of the formation processes within the Sun itself."
Rosetta is being billed as the big space event of 2014, and it is clear from the general and social media reaction to Monday's wake-up that interest in the mission is considerable.
"Science in general catches the public's imagination," said Thomas Reiter, Esa's director of human spaceflight and operations.
"In general, we try to find answers to fundamental questions, such as where do we come from, what will be our destiny and will we have to stick to this planet?
"The knowledge we get from missions like Rosetta - which is now moving into a very interesting stage - gets us closer to answering those types of questions."

Trimble and Payne sustained injuries in the hard-fought victory over the Wallabies at the Aviva Stadium and are still waiting to find out the full extent of their problems.
Trimble is suffering from an ankle injury, while Payne has a rib injury which means he is likely to have played his last game of 2016.
Centre Stuart Olding damaged a hamstring while training with the Ireland squad at Carton House, but his injury is regarded as the least serious of the three.
Rory Best and Paddy Jackson will miss the trip to Cardiff under the IRFU's player management programme, but prop Rodney Ah You is available after not featuring since the Champions Cup triumph over Exeter in October.
Flanker Chris Henry is in line for his first appearance of the season after being named in the line-up for the home game against Zebre, which was called off on Friday night because of a frozen pitch.
