a 3D-printed anatomy kit that is set to revolutionise medical training around the world.

Jenson Button :Lewis Hamilton
Jenson Button admits he ‘overreacted’ after slamming Lewis Hamilton over German GP clash.
JENSON Button has backtracked on his criticism of former teammate Lewis Hamilton following their clash during the German Grand Prix.
The pair collided at the Turn 4 hairpin on Lap 30 while battling for sixth place, as Hamilton charged through the field after starting from 20th on the grid.
The relatively light impact on the exit of the corner snapped off part of the Mercedes’s left front wing end-plate, and left Button less than impressed after the race.
“He drove into my rear wheel, that’s all I’ve got to say and I don’t know much else about it,” Button told reporters.
“I’m out there doing my race. It would make it boring if we all let him past when he was coming through the field.”
Several hours later, having had a chance to review footage of the incident, Button conceded that he had “overreacted” with his assessment in the immediate aftermath of the race.

UK deputy PM
UK deputy PM under fire over cooking show.
BRITISH Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has brushed off criticism for appearing on a TV cookery program during the international crises over Ukraine and Gaza.
CLEGG has come under fire for his appearance on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, with one Lib Dem activist quoted in the national press as saying: "As the world burned, Nick Clegg cooked."
But the Liberal Democrat leader said the show - during which he made an avocado cake and enjoyed a tequila tasting - gave him an opportunity to reach out to voters.

The 90-year-old sex guru
Sexpert:The 90-year-old sex guru.
Sex education is a controversial issue in India, but one man has done more than anyone to promote discussion of the subject. Dr Mahinder Watsa's unusually frank and funny daily newspaper column has become a cult hit. But why does the country that gave the world the Kama Sutra need a straight-talking 90-year-old to teach it about sex?
"Sex is a joyful thing," says Watsa, "but a number of writers tend to become rather medical and serious." Rather than taking the scientific or moral high ground, he prefers to put the reader at ease with a witty one-liner. As a columnist for the past 50 years, Watsa has been privy to the deepest, darkest sexual fears of his countrymen and women. His replies are short, sharp and to the point - occasionally bruising, often hilarious. But whether he chastises or reassures, with every shared reply he educates his readers. "I'm talking their language, they accept it better," he says. "The man talking to you is one of you."
