TO GO WITH China-environment-protest,FOCUS by Bill Savadove In this picture taken on July 7, 2012, a man on his motorcycle covers his nose against the stench rising from a towering garbage dump next to the road in Songjiang district of Shanghai. When the wind blows residents can smell the stench rising from the garbage dump, feared to be so harmful it can make people vomit and cause birth defects and now they are raising a stink about the future of the landfill, one of a series of recent protests across China as people hold the government more accountable for health and environmental problems.

Real-life meets have definitely become fewer and farther in Alison's experience

Alison Taylor on relationships: Warning - smoking aids your love life

I was out with a friend and my new haircut last Friday night and experienced what I'm now calling a Modern-Day Meet-Cute. A meet-cute is the scene in a film where a future romantic couple meets for the first time, often in an amusing way, and sparks start to fly. Think Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes and the fish tank scene in Romeo + Juliet; when Hugh Grant propels orange juice all over Julia Roberts's top in Notting Hill; or Gene Kelly landing in Debbie Reynolds' convertible in Singin' in the Rain.
