Grandmother, 81, gets an Asbo for wearing a bikini in her garden as it emerges town hall bosses are handing out more than 100 new orders every week for 'offences' such as having an overgrown garden or a run-down shed
Kay Crane, of Stockport, Greater Manchester, was told to not wear the bikini in view of the children from a neighbouring nursery, or play music unreasonably loud, or watch or shout at the children. The order issued last November followed a dispute between Miss Crane, and her partner, 83-year-old former television producer Dennis Woolf, and the nursery close to their semi-detached house. The couple had opposed the construction of an extension to the nursery.

A Glint Of Light And A Hint Of Life: Mars Is Getting Very Interesting Right Now
NASA's Mars Curiosity rover spotted a strange glowing object that seemed tohover just above the surface of the Red Planet earlier this month. While the glint on Mars has captured the imagination of folks on social media, it was likely just sunlight, a cosmic ray or a camera artifact. But in an unrelated development days later, the rover detected something else ― and it could be a long-sought signal of possible microbial life on or inside the planet.

100 years since the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I
At 3:50 pm on June 28, 1919 crowds erupted in joy and salvos of celebratory gunfire rang out: the Treaty of Versailles had just been signed. World War I was finally over. Signed at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, the text set out 440 punishing articles that crippled Germany economically and morally. Although the treaty was intended to leave the war's aggressor too weak to pose a new threat, its harsh terms eventually led the world into another global conflict just 20 years later.

But the Webb's shelter was found encased in concrete - which is unusual - and local historians believe it may mean it was converted into a garden shed by a previous owner.
The family, who have lived in the house for three years, watched in amazement as workmen lifted away soil and rubble was lifted away to reveal the shelter.
Mrs Webb, 41, said: 'It was exciting to see such a big concrete structure emerge at ground level and to see the steps to the shelter exposed after all the soil was removed.
She added: 'The way we live now you can't imagine how people used to exist with doodlebugs flying overhead and having to rush into their garden shelters.'
Ashford was heavily bombed in World War II and the centre of town was devastated on March 24, 1943, during a massive raid that killed 54 people and injured more than 200.
Ian Sharp, the curator of Ashford Museum, said the town centre was a target for German bombs as Howitzer field guns had been positioned at the town's railway works.
He said: 'Most Anderson shelters were put over a hole in the garden that was dug around four feet deep with steps down.
He added: 'If a shelter had concrete around it then it's possible it may have been used later on as a garden shed.'
Anderson shelters: The 6ft high steel structures used to protect millions of people during The Blitz of WWII
Anderson shelters were designed by William Paterson and Oscar Kerrison in 1938 after the Home Office requested air raid protection amid concern over German aggression.
They were made out of 14 corrugated steel panels and named after Sir John Anderson, then Lord Privy Seal who was responsible for preparations against air-raids.

Shelters began being issued in February 1939 and around 3.6million were given out by the end of the war.
Families on low incomes were provided them for free, while higher earners had to pay £7 for them.
The shelters were 6ft high, 4.5ft wide, and 6.5ft long. They were either buried 4ft deep in the soil and then covered with a minimum of 15ins of soil above the roof or in some cases installed inside people's houses and covered with sandbags.
After the war, they became a target for thieves because of the valuable metal, while the government also began reclaiming them to repossess the steel.
Families were allowed to buy their shelter and many survived after the war in use as sheds and storage space.
