Heave, horse! Firefighters' desperate three-hour struggle to rescue gelding facing certain death after getting trapped in pond

 

A horse stranded in a muddy pond was rescued from certain death after firefighters spent more than three hours pulling him on to dry land.
The 27-year-old gelding, named Jeremy, was trapped up to his neck in water after wading into thick, cloying mud.
He had already been in the farm pond in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester, for a few hours when his owner Jayen Renshaw found him on Monday night.

Suffering: The horse was struggling to keep his head above water when the rescuers arrived

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service’s specialist Water Incident Unit used their animal training to rescue Jeremy alongside the RSPCA.
Looking on were Miss Renshaw and her sister Jenny. Also there was Jeremy’s best  friend, a donkey called Misty.
Miss Renshaw said: ‘I stood back I can’t handle seeing him being moved around.
‘It was a close call, the vet gave him a lot of antibiotics and stuff to calm him down. He’s an old guy - he’s 27 years old.

‘Misty was standing over there with him. I think she had to turn away at times too! They’re like little and large - they’re best buddies.’
Station Manager, Kevin O’Connor said: ‘It was up to its neck in water and suffering from hypothermia.
‘It kept trying to spin in the water every time we got ready to pull it up it would turn round. It was very close to dying, but the donkey never left its side.
‘We also had to protect the owners of the horse from danger, it was lucky no one broke their leg.’
This wasn’t the first time Jeremy has had to be rescued from water by firefighters, Jenny added: ‘Many years ago he went in the canal and the fire brigade were involved in getting him out then too.

 

Kindle Fire sold out in U.S. fuelling speculation release of new version is imminent

 

Kindle Fire, Amazon's digital reader has sold out in the United States, sparking speculation that the release of a new version is imminent.

The internet retailer has a major press conference scheduled for next Thursday in Santa Monica, California.

It's widely expected to reveal a new model of the Fire there, so the announcement that the first model is 'sold out' suggests that Amazon halted production a while ago to retool for a new model.

Seattle-based Amazon launched the $199 tablet last November.

It was the first Kindle with a color screen and the ability to run third-party applications, placing it in competition with Apple Inc.'s iPad, at half the price of the cheapest iPad.

Amazon doesn't say how many Fires it has sold, but says it captured 22 percent of U.S. tablet sales over nine months.

That would make it the second-most popular tablet, after the iPad.

Based on iPad sales reported by Apple, Fire sales can be estimated at somewhere around 5 million units.

Separately, ABI Research said today that sales of dedicated e-readers, like the non-Fire, black-and-white Kindles, peaked last year.

It expects worldwide sales of e-readers at 11 million in 2012, down from 15 million in 2011.

The research firm expects tablets to outsell e-readers nine to one this year, despite costing four or five time as much.

Still, e-readers won't go away completely, ABI analyst Joshua Flood said.

'We believe there will always be a niche market for the dedicated reading device for voracious readers, business travelers, and educational segments, particularly ones that are low-priced,' Flood said.

Amazon could update the rest of its Kindle line at next week's event, too.

The current models were launched a year ago.

In the intervening time, competitor Barnes & Noble Inc. has launched a Nook e-reader with a built-in screen illuminator for reading in the dark.

Amazon itself was the main outlet for the Kindle Fire.

However, Staples stores recently sold it for $179.

 

A paradise for Kate: Royal couple's official engagement in exotic East... and a second honeymoon on desert island in the South Pacific

 

Most couples can’t hope to manage a second honeymoon until retirement – if at all.

For the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, however, it’s come around rather more quickly.

Only 18 months after their honeymoon on the exclusive North Island resort in the Seychelles, the couple are again heading to a deserted paradise island – this time in the South Pacific.

Kate and William will spend a night on privately owned Tavanipupu island, famed for its crystal waters and luxury hand-thatched bungalows, as part of their first official tour on behalf of the Queen.

Before that the couple will travel to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Borneo and the Solomon Islands, ending their nine-day trip on the South Pacific realm of Tuvalu, the fourth smallest country in the world.

They’ll get up close and personal with wild orangutans, have an orchid named after each of them and face the challenge of being carried from a plane in a garlanded canoe.

It will be the biggest test yet of Kate’s much-praised fashion sense, as she will need up to 30 different outfits, including one for a trek to the jungle.

The Queen is believed to be lending her several pieces of jewellery including, possibly, one of her favourite tiaras.

Her famous locks will be also well cared for – Prince Charles is privately footing the bill for a freelance hairdresser to travel with them.

And the couple have hired a private jet – paid for by the taxpayer –  for part of their trip.

Sources said it would be ‘absolutely impossible’ to travel to remote Tuvalu and the Solomon Island otherwise. The Queen is still sovereign of both countries.

The tour has been organised to mark the Diamond Jubilee and many of the stops were chosen personally by the Queen.

The couple will also visit the Commonwealth nations of Singapore and Malaysia on behalf of the British government to strengthen diplomatic and trade links.

The couple will also attend a glitzy dinner hosted by the country’s king in his palace.
Then they will fly on to Sabah, the Malaysian part of Borneo, and travel deep into the jungle at Danum Valley, where they hope to climb into the rainforest canopy and see wildlife including the endangered orangutan.
On September 16 they will make their way to Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands.
The couple have been told to expect a colourful welcome – complete with chanting warriors –  followed by a drive to the capital in an open-topped vehicle decked in fresh flowers.

Paradise: The Royal couple will take in Tuvalu, a Polynesian island located midway between Hawaii and Australia which is one of the most remote inhabited places on the globe

Another traditional state dinner also beckons, although this one takes the form of an outdoor island feast with meats cooked in underground barbecues.
And then, just when the endless rounds of smiles and handshakes may have got a little too much, they will be whisked off to paradise – in a traditional war canoe.
The five-star Tavanipupu Private Island Resort is known as one of the South Pacific’s ‘best kept secrets’.
It says it offers ‘decadent king-sized beds, some of the best food on the planet, crystal clear water teeming with life, a relaxing massage over the water [and]  “real” local people who wait on you hand and foot  … in one of the wildest places left on earth.’
The 37-acre island, discovered by Europeans in the 19th century, was once a coconut plantation owned by Norwegian traders.
In the 1970s it was bought by English interior designer Dennis Bellote and his late partner Keith Paske, who turned the overgrown island into a luxury five star resort.

Poignant: The couple will be given the chance to view an orchid named after William's late, mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, which she never got to see

Stop off: On September 16 they will make their way to the Solomon Islands, which despite consisting of nearly 1,000 islands across 11,000 square miles, have a population of little over half a million

It is currently up for sale for just over £7.5million. The royal couple are believed to be staying there as guests of the Solomon Islands government, which is anxious to promote tourism in the area.
It is expected they will stay in a £300-a-night hand-thatched bungalow favoured by honeymooners which has been built over the crystalline waters of the Coral Sea and boasts a ‘majestic’ king-sized bed carved out of bamboo.

THE ROYAL'S SCHEDULE IN FULL

• September 11: Singapore
• September 13: Malaysia
• September 15: Sabah, Malaysia (rainforest)
• September 16: Solomon Islands
• September 18: Tuvalu

Each of the resort’s eight bungalows has a personal attendant who can be summoned with a tap of a tribal drum.
Aides confirmed yesterday that the couple hope to do a little snorkelling before retiring to bed for an early start to Tuvalu the following morning.
The Queen last visited the island  in 1982 when she was carried ashore with Prince Philip from Britannia in a canoe.
This time William and Kate will arrive by plane but the locals are still determined to continue the custom.
‘We have really have no idea what to expect,’ their private secretary admitted yesterday.
The couple will be given a tour of the ten mile square island, including the coconut tree that was planted by the Queen on her last visit.
But it will be rather less luxurious than their previous stop. The island is plagued by ants and large rats, and the infrastructure is so limited that the couple will stay in only the most basic of hotels.
