Dubai: A lawyer has accused a businessman of cheating his female client by forging their marriage contract and convincing her that she was his wife before sleeping with her.

Records said the 32-year-old Emirati businessman forged the marriage contract with the 30-year-old Uzbek female saleswoman before he slept with her.

This was the remarkable sight many took in at a cricket game in Panama. As for the game? Well who really cares. I`m more interested in what type of paint was used to put their pants on. As for the authenticity? We like to think they are real, but we aren`t particularly convinced.

So let`s not get over excited here and start booking our flights to Panama and buying tickets to their next cricket match. We can`t be sure that this is a regularity.

Scientists in Australia have developed a DVD that can store up to 400 times more information than a standard disc.

The technology records in an unprecedented five dimensions and is capable of packing away 1.6 terabytes of data.

It has immense possibilities for the archiving of digital material as well as offering changes to the way movies are enjoyed at home by allowing viewers to watch individual scenes from a variety of viewpoints.

If you have, for example, nine angles that you can choose to view the movies then you require nine separate movies to be recorded into a single disc. That means you need nine times more space for this technology to be possible, said James Chon, a senior lecturer at Swinburne University`s Centre for Micro-photonics in Melbourne.
