By Laura Casewell From time to time most of us have looked in the mirror and prodded a part of ourselves we’re not happy with. Recent research suggests that women are most critical about their stomachs and thighs, disliking the shapeless areas. If you admire celebrities like Cara Delevingne, Millie Mackintosh and Cheryl Cole with their defined thighs and tight tums, there is an answer – and it’s called body contouring.

  By Guy Dorrell @GuyDorrellEsq Many of us dream of stripping away the complications of modern life, its hectic pace, its technologies, the dependency upon a steady income, and returning to how our distant ancestors must have lived.

Fewer still have the resources to step back, while retaining what is good...

By Pip Cole  7-1… Humiliation……Failures……Disgraced the nation… Having been born in Rio de Janeiro, waking up the morning after that game was tough. I am fairly confident I have seen the worst Brazilian performance I will ever see, however, I do not believe it will be the last major footballing nation to suffer in a similar style. In reflection on the World Cup two features have stood out for me: firstly, some footballing federations have become strategic, organised, forward thinking...

  By Joe Mellor Deputy Editor He fought tooth and nail for Liverpool this season, but Barcelona have agreed to sign Suarez for a fee of around £75m. A great deal of money for a man with a chequered disciplinary history, but a fair price for a talent, as great as his. Suarez is leaving for better things and it’s not his fault that Barcelona still represents a bigger club than Liverpool. Perhaps he is still in love with Liverpool...

By Toby James  We need the police. They keep us safe, keep crime off our streets and bring criminals to justice. Their job is somewhat thankless, however, and they are under fire more often than not. At the time of writing, the current scandal is the inquest over the 1985 shooting of Dorothy ‘Cherry’ Groce, which found that a series of police failures contributed to Groce’s injury. Police officers searching for her son had entered her home and an inspector...

Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay, January 17, 1942) is generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the sport's history. At the age of 22 he won the world heavyweight championship in 1964 from Sonny Liston in a stunning upset. Shortly after that bout, Ali joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name. He converted to Sunni Islam in 1975. In 1967, three years after winning the heavyweight title, Ali refused to be conscripted into the U.S. military, citing his...

In the beginning drinking lots of water and bearing the pain for a few days meant it would clear up for a while but over time the symptoms and the pain got worse.

By Steve Taggart As ISIS gain new territory and funds with which to establish an Islamic state and ‘’Caliphate’’, they are perhaps unaware that the institution of Caliphate is already in existence here in the UK. The UK first became the home to a world-wide Caliphate in 1984 when His Holiness, Mirza Tahir Ahmad, the fourth Caliph, migrated from Pakistan to England. Today, the leafy streets of Southfields, South-West London, are home to his successor, the fifth Caliph and worldwide...
