American football stars took a knee in defiance of Donald trump at Wembley Stadium today after he said sportsmen who 'disrespect America' should be 'fired'. 

Players from both Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens dropped to their knees as the national anthem was played prior to the match in London. 

No players were kneeling during the playing of 'God Save The Queen', which followed the Star Spangled Banner. 

They did so after President Trump had stoked tensions by saying NFL players who protested during the national anthem should be sacked by their team. 

At a rally on Friday night the president said: 'Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bi*ch off the field right now... he is fired.' 

He was referring to a controversial string of protests started by player Colin Kaepernick last year when he sat or kneeled during the anthem to highlight the treatment of black Americans. 

Players on both teams and Jaguars owner Shad Khan, who were not kneeling, remained locked arm-in-arm throughout the playing of the national anthem and 'God Save The Queen'. 

Khan, who also owns Championship football club Fulham, has previously donated one million US dollars to Trump's presidential inauguration. Shortly after the contest got under way at Wembley, the Ravens posted a message on Twitter which read: 'We recognise our players' influence. We respect their demonstration and support them 100 per cent. All voices need to be heard. That's democracy in its highest form.'

The Jaguars tweeted a photo of Khan standing, arm in arm with Lewis and Smith, with the caption 'Unity'.  

At a rally in Alabama on Friday night, Trump had delivered a scathing attack on NFL players who opt to kneel in protest when the Star-Spangled Banner is played prior to matches.

He claimed team owners should sack any player involved in such a demonstration and that fans should leave the stadium if they see it.

There was a fiery response from the NFL to Trump's controversial comments. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement saying 'divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect'. 

The NFL Players' Association said Trump had crossed a line by effectively telling players to just 'shut up and play'.

Association president Eric Winston said Trump's comments were 'a slap in the face to the civil rights heroes of the past and present'. 

The latest neuroscience research is presenting intriguing evidence that the brains of certain kinds of criminals are different from those of the rest of the population.

While these findings could improve our understanding of criminal behavior, they also raise moral quandaries about whether and how society should use this knowledge to combat crime. In one recent study, scientists examined 21 people with antisocial Personality disorder  – a condition that characterizes many convicted criminals. Those with the disorder "typically have no regard for right and wrong. They may often violate the law and the rights of others," according to the Mayo Clinic.

Brain scans of the antisocial people, compared with a control group of individuals without any mental disorders, showed on average an 18-percent reduction in the volume of the brain's middle frontal gyrus, and a 9 percent reduction in the volume of the orbital frontal gyrus – two sections in the brain's frontal lobe. Another brain study, published in the September 2009 Archives of General Psychiatry, compared 27 psychopath  — people with severe antisocial personality disorder — to 32 non-psychopaths. In the psychopaths, the researchers observed deformations in another part of the brain called the amygdala, with the psychopaths showing a thinning of the outer layer of that region called the cortex and, on average, an 18-percent volume reduction in this part of brain.

"The amygdala is the seat of emotion. Psychopaths lack emotion. They lack empathy, remorse, guilt," said research team member Adrian Raine, chair of the Department of Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania, at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C., last month. In addition to brain differences, people who end up being convicted for crimes often show behavioral differences compared with the rest of the population. One long-term study that Raine participated in followed 1,795 children born in two towns from ages 3 to 23. The study measured many aspects of these individuals' growth and development, and found that 137 became criminal offenders.

One test on the participants at age 3 measured their response to fear – called fear conditioning – by associating a stimulus, such as a tone, with a punishment like an electric shock, and then measuring people's involuntary physical responses through the skin upon hearing the tone.

In this case, the researchers found a distinct lack of fear conditioning in the 3-year-olds who would later become criminals. These findings were published in the January 2010 issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.

Neurological base of crime

Overall, these studies and many more like them paint a picture of significant biological differences between people who commit serious crimes and people who do not. While not all people with antisocial personality disorder — or even all psychopaths — end up breaking the law, and not all criminals meet the criteria for these disorders, there is a marked correlation.

"There is a neuroscience basis in part to the cause of crime," Raine said.

What's more, as the study of 3-year-olds and other research have shown, many of these brain differences can be measured early on in life, long before a person might develop into actual psychopathic tendencies or commit a crime.

Criminologist Nathalie Fontaine of Indiana University studies the tendency toward being callous and unemotional (CU) in children between 7 and 12 years old. Children with these traits have been shown to have a higher risk of becoming psychopaths as adults.

"We're not suggesting that some children are psychopaths, but CU traits can be used to identify a subgroup of children who are at risk," Fontaine said.

Yet her research showed that these traits aren't fixed, and can change in children as they grow. So if psychologists identify children with these risk factors early on, it may not be too late.

"We can still help them," Fontaine said. "We can implement intervention to support and help children and their families, and we should. 

Sex is a natural, healthy and enjoyable part of life. It can be a beautiful, happy and bonding experience. So how can it be an addiction? Aren’t people who say they’re sex addicts just making excuses for their lack of self-restraint and control? Don’t they just enjoy it too much?

We face these questions all the time. They come from a whole world of misunderstanding about what addiction is. Sure, it’s true that not every person who has an affair is an addict. And not everyone who’s watched pornography is an addict. And not everyone who has lots of sex with lots of people is an addict. Some people just have high sex drives, or just happen to like certain things. That’s fine, we’re not trying to label everybody as an addict, or create excuses for irresponsible or unfaithful people. But sex addiction does exist. And it’s different from generally high libido, in two major ways:

1. Once we’ve started, we can’t stop

For alcoholics, there’s no such thing as just one quick drink. For gambling addicts, there’s no such thing as 10 minutes at the casino. For sex addicts, there’s no such thing as “5 minutes of porn” or “just an hour in the strip club” or “just one partner this week”. There’s a whole variety of sexual behaviours that can be addictive – but they all share a common thread: whatever we’re addicted to, we find it impossible to stop once we’ve started. We’ll stay up to the small hours on the internet – we’ll empty bank accounts on prostitutes and lap dancers – we’ll suffer STDs from our involvement in sex work - we’ll have affair after affair – we’ll masturbate until we’re sore – and we’ll get up the next day and do it again. Once we’ve started, we lose control over how much or how long or with whom or when or where.

2. We can’t stay away, no matter what the consequences

The above would all be academic if we could just not start in the first place! If only the alcoholic could remember the disaster of the last time he drank! If only the gambler could recall with sufficient force the horror of the loan shark and the bailiff! If only the sex addict could remember the STD test and its shameful result – the painful discoveries and broken relationships – the jobs lost, the sleep lost – the pay-checks. Many of us have faced such consequences time and again. But they’ve not stopped us going back for more. It seems baffling to others – but all the terrible, humiliating things in the world don’t seem to cure the obsession. In fact, the worse ours lives become, the harder it seems to stop, and stay stopped!

Most people enjoy sex normally. They assume we enjoy it too – just too much. For us, that’s not always the case. Often our addictive behaviours leave us hurt, injured, demoralized, broke, despairing, and even suicidal. Yet no matter how often we experience these negative consequences – no matter how much we hate ourselves and what we’re doing – we always keep going back. Despite repeated and humiliating failures, there’s always one more attempt to control ourselves and enjoy sex as others do, and one more failure. That’s addiction.

Am I a sex addict?

Like an alcoholic unable to stop drinking, sex addicts are unable to stop their self-destructive sexual behavior. Our behaviors vary: compulsive masturbation, pornography, affairs, paying for sex or being paid, voyeurism, exhibitionism, unsafe sex, abusive sex and much more besides. Family breakups, sexual diseases and other health consequences, financial disaster, loss of jobs, and risk to life are often the painful themes of our stories.

We come from all walks of life – we are ministers, doctors, homemakers, factory workers, salespeople, secretaries, clerks, accountants, therapists, dentists, politicians, to name a few. We are men and women – young and old – gay and straight – of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. None of these dividing lines mean anything to us – because they mean nothing to the disease – and we have come to believe that it is a disease

Some of us also struggle with other addictions too like drugs, alcohol, eating disorders and compulsive gambling. Most of us didn’t know what was wrong with us – or that our condition had a name. We often thought we were just dirty, or bad, or unworthy people – we didn’t realise we were suffering from a real and treatable disease.

We made up excuses. We minimized our problem and told ourselves that “everybody is this obsessed with sex.” We denied the harm we were doing. We made solemn vows to ourselves and others. We were often depressed, some of us thought of suicide, some that they were losing their minds. All we knew for sure was that we wanted to stop, but couldn’t

People look at life in the most strange ways, they forget we're they come from based on morels that define the purpose to the route we choose, looking good to impress the naked eye is a respect to your self not to others that analyses you as a person, loyal and love is a impact to the way a person sees there surroundings within there corner, invadeing a person self belief is a curse to your self and a downfall to someone's life, psychologically it's all in the mind on how a person sees them self, if a person is isolated from life it affects them as a whole, as this depends on the strength of that person, if they are weak they will sink, the heart is a soft part of the human organ that gives a person the drive to build there life. Life is short, years go by and your body changes internally, support is a major factor in a persons surroundings as no support would give you less breathing space. Money is a factor of life as it brings stress to people that don't have things they want or has a passion to reach there goal in life which can bring major stress, if that are a target to society that brings them to a wall that holds then in a mind  physical mental state which bring stress to your health and confused heart pain and all the bad measures it carries. We all want the best if we can all see that chance it is a blessing to a person that can see there path or route. People kill for the reason of nothing that has no motto or satisfaction to benefit them self or any one else. I want to open a understanding to a blocked mind as the mind can play tricks that misleads a person to think something that is not true or right or they believe to benefit them self in life, this is evil and cold for the lust of money or something that is selfish. I am born in England but have a different culture from English, as it sees two different cultures that can affect a person with society that is on there own, We all play a role in life and it is best to keep to one path then confuse your self to more combined difference cultures that you don't understand as between one country and another it has a major difference. I hold a open understand for people who are confuse and see another person as a rope to cling too as they can't see there own inspiration to reach there goal in life. Its best you look at your self then other people unless they are your motto to what your creation evolves in life. Ps CS

As a woman who has sex with women (WSW), you may not always identify yourself as a lesbian, or bisexual.

Many WSW had their first sexual experience with a man, have had multiple experiences with men, or still have sex with men. HIV transmission is a risk between women through fingering/fisting, oral sex and sharing sex toys.

The risk is lower than sex involving a man because less bodily fluids are exchanged between women.

Access regular sexual health check ups for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV testing. 

• Sex is safer when none of your partner’s bodily fluids (vaginal secretions, breast milk or blood - including menstruation) enter your body.
• Ensure your partner’s fluids do not enter your vagina, mouth or any cuts. 
• Wash your hands before and after sex.
• Use plenty of lube for fingering or fisting, especially for the anus.
• Use latex gloves, especially if you have a cut or sore on your hands. 
• Avoid oral sex if you or your partner have cuts or sores in or around the mouth, or if the receiving partner is menstruating.
• Use a dental dam, or a condom cut open between the vagina/anus and mouth to prevent STI or HIV transmission. 
• Wash sex toys before and after use and between partners.
• Use a new condom every time sex toys are shared.
• Use sex toys carefully to prevent drawing blood.
• You have the right to:
  
  
  • refuse sex
  • have sex with women
  • practice safer sex.

They are important elements of our oceans’ eco systems and if destroyed, the fish will look for housing elsewhere and reduce food and tourism for the locals.

Local communities in Bali are largely dependent on fishing and tourism that revolves around coral reefs. On top of that, just like in other places around the Coral Triangle, coral reefs in Bali have been significantly threatened by the impact of development, bombing, cyanide fishing, and pollution.

Lack of planning and effectively managing threats against coral reefs is an on-going challenge throughout the country. People on the island are becoming more and more aware of the importance of preserving the marine resources and ecotourism looks like a good place to start. Travellers looking to reduce their overall impact on the island should investigate environmentally responsible luxury villas & resorts. cmference of There are many such underwater sculptures around the world, in tropical areas like Mexico and Central America.

During the past few years a huge controversy has emerged accusing the Smithsonian (and a host of skeptics and archaeologists) of covering up the discovery of hundreds of giant skeletons from Native American Indian mounds. Jim Vieira is one of the key people who began uncovering hundreds of newspaper accounts of giant skeletons after he became intrigued by his visits to stone chambers found primarily in northeastern states. To date, Vieira has pulled together about 1,500 accounts from newspapers and books published in the 1800s and early 1900s. 

The newspaper stories relate that the skeletons ranged in size from 7 feet to well over 18 feet in length. Vieira began issuing the reports, one at a time, every day on a popular Facebook page called Your Daily Giant. Vieira was subsequently attacked by skeptical bloggers. One of the skeptics, Jason Colavito, related that the giant reports came from misidentified mastodon/mammoth bones to outright hoaxes. However, Colavito didn't cite a single example of a hoax or a giant skeleton found in America that turned out to be a mastodon or mammoth. Colavito also wrote that modern paleopathology textbooks could explain other reports because repeated freezing and thawing of buried bones would expand bones "enough to turn a slightly average body into a gigantic one." Both of Colavito's assertions are astonishing claims evaluated below. 

Sex isn't a race, so take time to explore her. Focus on her thighs and lower belly. Make a mental circle 2 inches around the outside of her vagina and don't cross the line while you kiss, lick, and caress.  If you want morning sex, set your alarm at least 20 minutes early. A woman won't want sex if she's hurried, and she'll probably need about 20 minutes to reach orgasm. She'll give longer and more enthusiastic oral sex if you give her a verbal response. Even appreciative grunts are better than silence.  When you're all the way inside her, add side-to-side movement or up-and-down pelvic pressure against her clitoris to vary the stimulation.   Both you and your lady write five sexual fantasies down on five separate notebook cards. Then head to a restaurant where you can get a booth and some privacy in a public setting. Over dinner and wine, pull out the cards and make three piles—"yes," "maybe someday," and "not on your life." Put the possibles in a shoe box, and once a month pull out a winner.  Think of it as fat-burning foreplay. It will raise her dopamine levels, easing her anxieties. Bonus: Your post-run sweat has androstadienone, a testosterone derivative that spikes her arousal when she smells it. 
 The best compliments are the ones that involve multiple senses. "You have beautiful breasts" is nice. "You have beautiful breasts—they feel so soft and warm in my hands" is that much more intimate. If a woman who knows you're spoken for comes on to you, it's flattering. It's tempting. But remember that she's doing it to feed her own ego, not yours. She wants to see how much power she holds over you. And if you take her bait, she then knows she must be superior in every way to your sweetie. Deep down, she has nothing but contempt for both your male weakness and your mate's existence. That should really piss you off. Doggy-style tip: For over-the-top stimulation of her most nerve-packed parts, keep thrusting short and shallow, rather than deep and fast. The nerve-packed clitoris actually extends several inches under the skin on either side of her vagina (like a wishbone), which means you can massage it without direct pressure to the bud. Trace the extensions with flat, wide, extra-wet tongue strokes or slow finger zigzags. (Don't forget lube.) Then rub a slow spiral around the top, drawing closer with each pass. The combo of anticipation and indirect contact will bring her pleasure centers to life. To increase clitoral contact when she's on top, make a V with two fingers, and place it so the point of the V (just between the two knuckles) is directly over her clitoris. Your fingers should come down on either side of your penis as she rides you. This will stimulate the clitoris, inner labia, and urethra—as well as add intensity for you. Want to know if she likes to talk dirty? Tell her, "You make me think dirty thoughts." Ease in slowly. It's best to test the waters a bit, rather than immediately go for your deepest, kinkiest dirty talk right off the bat.
 

A British headteacher murdered while canoeing along the Amazon was tortured and sexually assaulted by a gang before being killed and dumped in the river, it has been claimed.

Horrific new details of the last moments of Emma Kelty's life were revealed in a confession made by one of the suspects shortly after the British kayaker's death.

Evanilson Gomes da Costa was found dead after going on the run in the wake of the murder having reportedly been shot by rival drug traffickers.

But before he died - and just hours after the death of Miss Kelty - the 24-year-old told a local villager what the gang had done, it has been claimed.

One of the men, Artur Gomes da Silva, claimed he tried to decapitate the headteacher with a machete. José Afonso Barradas Jr, police chief in the city of Coari, northwestern Brazil, said: 'He claimed he tried to cut her head off with a machete but failed.' 

The villager said da Costa had told him how his gang had come across Miss Kelty's tent and, believing it to belong to drug traffickers, had opened fire from 50m away.

The unnamed villager added: 'The woman was hit in the arm. She started waving frantically and screaming for help.'

But still believing she was transporting drugs, they approached the tent and started attacking her, cutting off her hair with a knife as they ordered to hand over narcotics. One of the group then slit her throat before all four men 'sexually abused her', the villager said.

Her body was then dumped in the Amazon before the men fled. Villagers provided police with their details and identities, he added.

It comes after it emerged that a man  arrested over the murder has admitted to slitting her throat and throwing her bullet-riddled body into a river, police say.

Da Silva made his confession after being held following an anonymous tip-off, police chief Jose Barradas revealed.

The suspect was found hiding in bushes with a phone and a GPS tracker after the 43-year-old former headmistress was murdered.

His confession comes as it emerged the killers alerted authorities to their crime after unwittingly triggering a distress signal on her equipment. Investigators had first thought the emergency alert which pinpointed Emma Kelty's exact location and triggered a search operation by Brazil's Navy had been sent by the victim herself.

But in fact the 'SOS' button was pressed by one of her killers who was trying to work out how to use the device they had stolen, an hour and a half after her death.

Police have now recovered the GPS device, as well as a mobile phone and a memory card.

The GPS signal sent at 10pm last Wednesday night led investigators to the riverside village of Lauro Sodre, 150 miles west of Manaus, and a manhunt which has brought about the arrest of three men accused of her murder. One of the suspects, Artur Gomes da Silva, nicknamed Beira, was due to be flown from Coari to Amazonas state capital Manaus today and remanded in prison ahead of trial.

Mr Barradas, insisting Miss Kelty had not been decapitated as was initially reported, said: 'It was an easy arrest. He confessed that after the British tourist's shooting, he and another suspect slit her throat and then threw her body into the river.'

Yesterday Barradas said he doubted anyone would have discovered what happened to Ms Kelty if the 'stupid' gangsters hadn't set off her emergency locator by mistake.

He said: 'They didn't know how it worked, so were messing around with it and pushing buttons.

'One of them must have pushed the button which transmitted an alert that she was in trouble. In turn the company that received it alerted the Navy, along with the exact location of where the button was pushed.

'Without that, it would have been very difficult to know where in this vast area of jungle she had gone missing.

'It would have probably remained an unsolved mystery and her killers never brought to justice. 

Banks have agreed to carry out immigration  checks on bank accounts to root out illegal immigrants.

Building societies will also look through 70 million current accounts from January to identity people who are living in Britain illegally.

The Home Office expects to identify 6,000 visa overstayers, failed asylum seekers and foreign national offenders facing deportation in the first year of the checks, which are to be carried out quarterly. The accounts of those identified will be shut down or frozen.

Officials say freezing accounts that hold significant sums ‘will create a powerful incentive [for those involved] to agree to voluntary departure’ so they can secure their money once they have left the country.

The Home Office said it had announced the plans in 2016.

But immigration welfare campaigners warned that the Home Office’s record meant it could not be trusted to implement the system properly. Scores of EU nationals were last month wrong sent deportation letters telling them to go home.

Banks have been told to adopt a default position of telling customers to take up the matter with the Home Office if a mistake has been made, even if the person has proof they are lawfully present in Britain, according to the guardian. 

The Immigration Act 2014 forces bank managers to check that customers are not illegal immigrants before allowing them to open accounts.

But the paper claims that no measure has previously required checks on the scale of every current account in Britain.  It says the new legislation requires the banks to check the identity of every current account holder against a Home Office supplied database held by an anti-fraud organisation, Cifas.

It includes details of those whom the Home Office regard as liable for removal or deportation because they are overstayers, failed asylum seekers or those who have absconded from immigration detention.

Safeguards are included to prevent the closure of a bank account which would leave the account holder without the subsistence means to live. Account closure can also be delayed to recover debts or deal with complex joint accounts, the paper reports.

An official Home Office impact assessment acknowledged ‘the proposed measures may have the potential to impact on the appetite of firms to offer banking services to legal migrants who do not have permanent leave to remain in the UK’ and promises to monitor the situation. Officials add that the banking laws ban discrimination against legally resident customers, the paper added.

A Home Office spokesman said: ‘As approved by Parliament in December 2016, from January banks and building societies will be required to carry out regular checks on the immigration status of all current account holders against the details of known illegal migrants to establish whether their customers are known to be in the UK unlawfully. This is part of our ongoing work to tackle illegal migration. People who are here legally will be unaffected.
