Is it healthy to only eat potatoes for an entire year? A man from Australia is testing this out

    An Australian man has pledged to only eat potatoes for the entirety of 2016 in an attempt to cure his binge-eating. Father-of-two Andrew Flinders Taylor, from Melbourne, said he made the decision after reaching his heaviest ever weight of 23 stone 12lbs. After only a 34 days of the diet, he has lost over two stone and says he is sleeping better as a result. Mr Taylor took on the challenge after studying scientific papers and finalising a plan with the help of a doctor and a dietician. He says he was surprised to find that potatoes offer "more than enough protein" along with all essential amino acids. Mr Taylor told The Independent: "I'm getting over 600% of my daily iron retirements and over 400% of vitamin c as well as heaps of fibre - all things that so-called experts h...

Osama bin Laden inspired to plan 9/11 terror attacks by Egypt Air flight 990 crash, al-Qaeda claims

    Osama bin Laden Osama bin Laden planned the September 11 attacks after being “inspired” by a chance discussion about a plane crash in the US, al-Qaeda propaganda has claimed. In its weekly al-Masrā newspaper, Ansar al-Sharia released an article claiming to tell the “untold story” behind the 2001 plot that killed almost 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. Just under two years before, Egypt Air Flight 990 had crashed into the Atlantic Ocean during its journey from Los Angeles to Cairo, killing all 217 people on board – almost half of them Americans. Egyptian investigators insisted mechanical failure was the cause but the US National Transportation Safety Board found that co-pilot Gameel Al-Batouti had deliberately downed the plane, continua...

Valencia’s Gary Neville refuses to resign after thrashing by Barcelona

    Gary Neville insisted that he had no intention of resigning as Valencia manager after his side was hammered 7-0 at the Camp Nou by Barcelona on Wednesday night but the club’s sporting director Suso García Pitarch described it as one of the worst results in our history and evaded questions about the Englishman’s future at the Mestalla. Valencia are not expected to take a drastic decision. Neville was asked three times if he was thinking of resigning after four goals from Luis Suárez and three from Lionel Messi saw his side fall to a semi-final first leg defeat in the Copa del Rey. He gave a one-word response to the first question, replying simply: no. When the issue was raised again, with Neville asked if he would understand it if he was sacked, he responded: next question....
