			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>American singer and actress Whitney Houston, one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, has died in Los Angeles at the age of 48 years. She was found in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.</p>
<p>Ms Houston died on the eve of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles and had been due to attend a pre-awards party in the Beverly Hilton Hotel.<span id="more-21808"></span></p>
<p>In recent years, her career was overshadowed by substance abuse which damaged what was once described as the finest voice in pop music. She also suffered during a turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown with allegations of abuse.</p>
<p>Whitney Houston sold around 170 million records worldwide, had 11 US number one hits, won six Grammy Awards and her record &#8216;I Will Always Love You&#8217;, written by Dolly Parton, is the best selling single of all time by a female artist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A beer called Top Totty has been banned from the Strangers&#8217; Bar in the House of Commons because its pump plate, featuring a half-naked woman, offended a female MP.</p>
<p>Shadow equalities minister Kate Green was left &#8216;disturbed&#8217; after seeing award winning ale&#8217;s advertising in the popular parliamentary watering hole. She called for a debate on &#8216;dignity at work in Parliament&#8217; and asked for Top Totty to be &#8216;withdrawn immediately from the bar&#8217;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paris already has Disneyland and the Asterix Park, but if former minister Yves Jégo has his way, it will also have Napoleonland. Provided the required €180 million funding can be raised.<span id="more-21546"></span></p>
<p>News just in from the European Parliament: <em>France proposes that the UK increase its contribution to the EU Historical Fund, an unconfirmed figure of €180 million being bandied about</em>.</p>
<p>Attractions currently being contemplated include a daily recreation of the Battle of Waterloo, a water show recreating the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar, a ski run through a battlefield surrounded by the frozen bodies of soldiers and horses and a recreation of Louis XVI being guillotined during the revolution.</p>
<p>Pride of place, though, would go to Napoleon’s greatest victories, such as the Battle of Austerlitz.</p>
<p>It was Napoleon who said: &#8220;<em>I wished to found a European system, a European Code of Laws, a European judiciary: there would be but one people in Europe.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The park is also expected to house a museum, a hotel, shops, restaurants and a congress centre.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be fun for the family,” Mr Jégo told the Times newspaper. The idea is for building to begin in 2014 and for the park to open to the public in 2017.</p>
<p>Maybe it could be twinned with a future Stalin World or Genghis Towers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cornwall will be the destination for many cooks from around the world in March for the very first World Pasty Championships at the Eden Project in St Austell.<span id="more-21312"></span></p>
<p>This popular local delicacy was given protected status under EU law in 2011 and the Cornish Pasty Association, which is backing the event, hopes people from around the world will take part. The event is being held on March 3rd, the Saturday before St Piran&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>Judges will be looking for the best Cornish pasty made to the traditional recipe and the Cornish Pasty Association has declared that an authentic pasty should have a distinctive &#8216;D&#8217; shape and be crimped on one side, never on top. The filling should be &#8216;chunky, made up of uncooked mince or chunks of beef with swede, potato and onion and a light seasoning&#8217; before being slow-baked.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I suppose it was to be expected, everything else gets studied. A study into happiness levels on December 25th shows most people are so worried about things running smoothly they don&#8217;t truly enjoy themselves until early afternoon. And the time that people are the most happy (so you can plan ahead)?<span id="more-21039"></span></p>
<p>1.55pm</p>
<p>Over 50% of those studied stated that Christmas was their favourite holiday of the year, and one-third claimed it was the happiest day of the year.</p>
<p>Further more, three quarters claim the Christmas dinner is largely responsible for any stress endured on the morning of the 25th, one in five said Christmas would be better if only the children would just sleep in a bit longer, although 71% said that family time is what Christmas is really all about.</p>
