The family of a pilot killed when a light aircraft came down near Oxford Airport have paid tribute to him. Anthony Corr, 55, from Stratford upon Avon (right), who was known as 'Tony' to his friends, was killed when the Piper PA31 he was flying crashed crashed into a field near the A4095 in Bladon just after 2pm on on Friday 15 January 2010.  He was one of Ryanair's most experienced pilots.

This year's Burning Man bacchanal started and ended with a traffic jam in the Nevada desert. The first tangle of gridlock was caused by a coalition of activists protesting the alleged complacency among festivalgoers, known as "burners," over the global climate crisis that they argue must be addressed by systemic change beyond the boundaries of the Black Rock desert where the festival is held. The second, in a twist of extreme I-told-you-so irony, was caused by attendees trying to escape the pop-up city after an unrelenting bout of intense rainfall that experts say is increasingly typical in warming climate.

A Sussex man was today, Monday 22 July, committed to a secure hospital after admitting the manslaughter of a visitor to his Hassocks flat in August last year. Kayden Smith, 28, of Belmont Close, Hassocks, appeared at Lewes Crown Court, and was given an indeterminate hospital order under Section 41 of the Mental Health Act, for the manslaughter of Jan Jensen, 52, a tattoo artist, from Aalborg, Denmark, whose body was found in Smith's flat at Anderson Court in Belmont Close, Hassocks, on the afternoon of Thursday 9 August last year.

Ice harvesting was a thriving industry in the 19th century, employing tens of thousands of workers in New England alone. Big blocks of ice were removed with jagged-toothed saws from frozen rivers, lakes and ponds, packed in sawdust and shipped around the world. Having access to ice year-round changed the way people kept and ate food. Then came the advent of electric refrigeration. Cutting natural ice by hand became virtually obsolete.
