The latter day ruin of Pompeii and Herculaneum, Italy - 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Nick Cornish / Rex Features ( 1213743b )
The Second Downfall Of Pompeii
In AD79 the Roman town of Pompeii was buried under an avalanche of ash after Mt Vesuvius erupted.
For those who lived in the ancient town the disaster was upon them so suddenly that there was no way to escape.
Tens of thousands were killed as death reined down upon them and the town was swallowed up - preserved for thousands of years under 4-6 metres of ash and pumice.
Today, Pompeii and its sister site Herculaneum are once again facing a crisis as an apathetic attitude finishes the job that Vesuvius started - destroying Pompeii forever.
For the ancient site, which attracts around two million tourists each year, is once again being buried - this time under a mountain of bureaucracy and indifference.
Following their burial Pompeii and Herculaneum were largely forgotten about for the next 1,500 years until their accidental rediscovery around 1592.
However, it wasn't until the late 18th century that a systematic evacuation of the sites got underway.
Fast forward to 1997 and the two towns were officially recognised by Unesco, which described them as "a complete and vivid picture of society and daily life at a specific moment in the past that is without parallel anywhere in the world".
And at one time this was a fitting description for the archaeological site, which has fascinated visitors through the ages.
In 1925 archaeologist Amedeo Maiuri was put in charge of the two sites and until his departure in 1961 he set about recreating the two cities' heyday.
However, with Maiuri gone this drive disappeared and slowly but surely Pompeii and Herculaneum have been deteriorating thanks to natural forces and human activity (both accidental and deliberate) .
Even when Unesco made its glowing praise of the sites the rot had already very obviously set in.
Since then th...

Supersized Pets Fight The Flab
A pet fit competition run by a veterinary charity will see 18 of the UK's fattest animals get in shape.
Pet Fit Club run by the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) encourages overweight cats, dogs and rabbits to lose weight.
Specialist vets will be guiding the owners of each of these supersized pets on their journey to good health by providing a balanced diet and tailored exercise plan.
The contestants - 11 dogs, five cats and two rabbits - are carrying a combined excess weight of more than 24 stone - the equivalent of 380 tins of dog food, 35 average-sized cats or 50 Yorkshire Terriers.
All of the finalists fall into the category of obese or morbidly obese and desperately need to lose weight to improve their quality of life.
Sean Wensley, PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, said: "Excess pounds can contribute to a number of serious health conditions and, sadly, it does reduce life expectancy. But the good news is that it's never too late to make positive changes to a pet's diet and lifestyle."
This year's 18 finalists include a line-up of pets who have become accustomed to a variety of unhealthy foods including a 'custard cream loving' dog called Alfie; a 10.2kg Scottish cat called Maverick who is 85% overweight; food thief, Deco - a canine who likes cake but is carrying 57% extra body weight; Romeo the Labrador who has a penchant for roast dinners who is 47% overweight.

Supersize Spaniel Slims Down To Win Pet Fat Fighters Competition
*STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01 Thursday 4th October 2012*
A dog whose former nickname was 'Jumbo Jack' has been crowned the UK's pet slimming champ for 2012 after shedding nearly one third of his bodyweight.
The seven-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and 16 other pets have undergone a physical transformation as part of a six month diet and fitness regime run by veterinary charity PDSA.
At the beginning of the competition the Spaniel tipped the scales at 20.5kg - double his ideal weight - and six months on has lost a remarkable 6.4kg, which is 31% of his bodyweight and bringing him to a far healthier 14.1kg- trimming 20cm off his waist.
Owner Rose Welsh, 52, adopted the already super-sized Spaniel back in January of this year, she said: "When Jack first came to us he was morbidly obese and could barely walk.
"I couldn't bear to see him in such a sad state so I took him to the vet to talk about a diet and fitness plan.
"Today he is a different dog and we call him Jumping Jack instead of Jumbo Jack, as he jumps every time he barks now. He is fit, healthy and happy - everything a pet should be - and we are absolutely thrilled."
Jack had been overfed and hardly exercised prior to being adopted by Rose, which had caused him to become deaf, as the extra fat blocked his ear canals. He struggled to walk more than a few steps, couldn't play and couldn't even bark.
PDSA Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Sean Wensley, added: "Having adopted a seriously overweight animal, Rose has done a wonderful job in managing Jack's food intake and safely increasing his exercise. As for Jack, he undoubtedly feels much fitter and happier, and has a greater life expectancy than when he was overweight."...
