London. July 25: Worms not only use pheromones to send mating signals to each other, but as it turns out, they use it the complex chemical code as a cur for hibernation as well.

The scientists from the University of Florida, Cornell University, the California Institute of Technology and the U. S. Department of Agriculture focussed their study on the tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans.

While at lower levels, the pheromone directs the male C. elegans to mate with its partner, but in case the worm population grows and the food supply falls, it leads to an increase in the chemical signal and the cue changes from mate to hibernate.

London, July 25 : Over a third of the people would run out of money in less than a fortnight if they were unable to work, according to a new research.

The Yorkshire Building Society research reveals that the average person would last 52 days before running out of funds if unable to work and has outgoings of about 1,500 pounds every month.

According to the research reported by The Telegraph, nine out of 10 people have no form of income protection insurance to cover their bills if they were unable to work or lost their job.

A fifth of people admitted they had no idea how they would survive financially if they were unable to work, while others had unrealistic contingency plans.

London, July 25 : Elisabeth Fritzl, the Austrian woman who was held as a captive by her father for 24 years, has chucked her own mother out of their new home, it has emerged.

London, July 25 : British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has lost the “must-win” Glasgow East by-election.

According to The Sun, Labour sensationally lost one of the party’s safest seats to the Scottish National Party (SNP) on Friday morning.

London, July 24 : Cops in the UK have had to deal with some pretty bizarre emergency calls – like the time when a woman dialled 999 to ask them to find her glasses so she could prepare lunch.

Another time was when a woman who demanded officers save a squirrel close to a motorway - because there were no hazel nut trees nearby.

If you think this is funny then give a thought to cops who’ve had to deal with 8,400 calls like this in just the past year between June 2007 to July 2008.

London  - British budget airline Easyjet warned Thursday that rising fuel costs would result in significantly lower annual profits which it hoped to offset by cutting flights over the winter months.

Easyjet said its annual fuel costs have increased by about 185 million pounds (370 million dollars), as analysts predicted that the company's full-year earnings would be less than expected.

It predicted that annual profits could be up to 42 per cent lower than in the previous financial year.
