-

A snow-swept image of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset has scooped the top prize in the Landscape Photographer of the Year awards. The shot of a cold, calm sea sweeping up warm-coloured sand to snow-capped cliffs in the World Heritage Site was taken by Andy Farrer, from Dorset, who beat thousands of entries showcasing the UK landscape to win the overall title and £10,000. Charlie Waite, landscape photographer and founder of the Take A View Landscape Photographer of the Year awards, said of the overall winner: "Andy's winning photograph of this beautiful area of Dorset's Jurassic Coast is a gentle image with a simple, effective composition that reflects the mood of a cold winter's morning."

Fifth of people in UK will suffer from poor health before age 30 Researchers said that a high proportion of the population will not reach their pension age in good health A fifth of people in England cannot expect good health beyond their 30th birthday, according to analysis of the nation’s wellbeing. By the age of 50, most people will have at least one long-term health condition, such as serious mental illness, asthma or diabetes. The figures, based on data from medical records, calculate that the amount of time during which people can on average expect to be in good health is more than a decade less than official estimates. Delaying the onset of such significant health conditions by even one year could save the NHS more than £3 billion a year, researchers said. The research, by Outcomes Based Healthcare (OBH), uses data from GP and hospital records to determine people’s “healthspan” — the length of time  they can expect to live in good health. It foun...

Executions, Informants, And Flamboyance: The American Mafia In The 1980s The 1980s mafia operated in stark contrast to the values presented in  The Godfather  movies. Gone were the bonds of loyalty and the aversion to attention; instead, narcotics — and the money and glamour that came with it — ruled the day. At the same time, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act gave law enforcement increased powers and resources to combat organized crime. This meant stiffer criminal penalties and more incentive for mafiosos to break  omerta , the sacred mafia code of silence. Likewise, with the high stakes of drug trafficking and the rise of a glitzier generation of gangsters, betrayal and deadly internecine fighting became the norm. The 1980s mafia was in many ways the last gasp of an antiquated criminal empire. Though there was plenty of money to be made, the mafia faced unprecedented pressures from both outside and within, signaling that its glo...
