The image is an impression of how the playwright may have appeared aged 14, the same age as thousands of school pupils studying his plays.

Metropolitan Police artist Cathy Charsley used her training in “age progression” to create the picture, but in reverse.

Using the police’s standard e-fit computer, she created an initial image and then compared famous portraits of the Bard to craft her final impression.

Details such as the curly hair and earring were also added to give the image the “spirit” of a young Shakespeare.

It was commissioned by the education department of Shakespeare’s Globe in London, which is using it to launch its winter season of events.

Ms Charsley said: “I have been trained in age progression for my job, so I worked in reverse, deciding how the face would be different if aged 14, and what features were important.

“Young Will is my personal interpretation, based on my knowledge of faces and how they change.”

Patrick Spottiswoode, director of Globe Education at Shakespeare’s Globe, said: “We asked Cathy Charsley to imagine what Shakespeare may have looked like at 14 - the very age that all students in England and Wales have to sit a Shakespeare exam.

In recently filed court papers, Elisa Kwon accuses her former beau Greg Calvino, 45, of reneg ing on a pledge he had made to not “use drugs, stay out late, frequent strippers or prosti tutes.” The 30-something Kwon insists Calvino had vowed that if he ever did any of those things again, she could cash a $100,000 check he had made out to her.

After Calvino’s allegedly debauched boys’ night out at a strip club in March 2005, that’s just what Kwon did.

But a fuming Calvino filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court in late July to get his money back - plus interest, legal fees and damages - claiming the whole thing is an extortion attempt.

Calvino claims Kwon had threatened to go to his bosses at RBC Capital Markets, where he was a stock trader at the time of the intemperate night out, and make up tales of drug use “with strippers and whores.” He claims he wrote the $100,000 check to protect his career and reputation, and that she cashed it for no apparent reason.

But Kwon, in a motion to dismiss filed on Sept. 20, said Calvino’s drug use and wild ways with women entitled her to the money. She said she cashed the check in November 2005, after he went out with fellow RBC traders to ogle the girls at Flashdancers and do cocaine that March.

What’s more, he failed a store-bought drug test of his urine, she claims.

In an affidavit, Kwon attached what she claims is the text of a long instant-message conversation she had with Calvino in which he appears to cop to doing drugs and visiting strip clubs and tells her to keep the cash.

After initially writing that he was “sorry I was irresponsible last night - but I didn’t do the bad stuff,” and that he was not “stupid enough to jeopardize our future,” Calvino explains he was only “drunk/bombed [on] Jack [Daniels],” according to the text transcript.

Kwon reminds him of the “$25 Rite-Aid” test - “it’s POSITIVE.”

Calvino then appears to blame one of his trading buddies: “He put it in my face.”

Later in the instant-message exchange, Calvino confesses to going to Flashdancers after a charity event with four colleagues, the text shows

An RBC spokesman did not immediately comment.

An apparently contrite Calvino later writes to Kwon, “A promise is a promise,” according to the text.

He also allegedly writes, “I didn’t hold up my end of the bargain,” and “If you want to keep my money it’s yours to start anew.”

Calvino, who has since moved to Thomas Weisel Partners, did not reply to calls or e-mail requesting comment. His lawyer also didn’t return calls.

Kwon did not reply to an e-mail seeking comment. Her lawyer, Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma, declined to comment.

Ante Djindjic, 29, from Zagreb, said: “I don’t remember what happened. One minute I was taking a leak and the next thing I knew I was in hospital.

“Doctors said the lightning went through my body and because I was wearing rubber boots it earthed itself through my penis.”

Chen Hui-fang, 33, was convicted eight years ago of armed burglary and internet fraud. She was given a term of 12 years in prison but failed to turn herself in to serve her sentence.

The court issued an arrest warrant for Chen, but she had gone into hiding, disguised as a man and using a forged identify, several newspapers and broadcaster reported.

Chen, who looks masculine, disguised herself so well that even her girlfriend did not know that “he” was a she.

To convince her girlfriend that she was man, Chen tied a fake penis - a condom filled with cotton - between her thighs, press reports said.

Over the years, Chen continued to commit crimes and was caught once, but police released her after questioning.

When she was caught again Monday, police realised that Chen was using a fake ID card and did not look like a man, because Chen had no Adam’s apple and had no hair on her upper lip.

Hungry Tracey Wenn, 45, screamed the slogan from the Quorn TV advert: “Eat my pork — feel my fork!”.

The gran then plunged a steak knife into partner Anthony Donkin’s leg.

Four-times married Anthony suffered a seven-inch wound and had to go to hospital.

Hull Crown Court heard the pair had been boozing at a pub, but dad-of-three Anthony, 56, got home early and tucked into the chops.

Twice-married Wenn, of Hull, later returned drunk, discovered he had eaten the meal and stabbed him.

She insisted it was a “joke” and only meant to “prod” him.

She said yesterday: “I’m sorry but you don’t just eat my pork chops.

“I made them with peas and carrots with onion gravy.”

Former builder Anthony said: “I won’t go near her pork chops ever again.”

Now, South Bay city commissioners are demanding answers after a raunchy video tape showing a male stripper performing at the party has surfaced. South Bay Parks and Recreation Director Charles Inman admits that he allowed the group to use the commission chambers after accidentally double-booking the shower and another event at another city facility.

A pile of debris, mixed with bricks, filled the center of the living room at 323 Monroe Ave. on Tuesday, created by firefighters in their early morning rescue attempt of a man who identified himself to WEHT-News25 as Alejandro Valencio.

After he was free from the chimney, Valencio was taken to a local hospital. But he later returned to the rental home, occupied by Connie Deweese.

A News25 television reporter asked Valencio why he went down the home’s chimney at 3:30 in the morning.

“Because I want to feel like Santa Claus,” he answered sarcastically. “I was just drunk — I live here; she’s my girlfriend.”

District Fire Chief Allen Bittner said the man apparently told firefighters and police he was trying to surprise his girlfriend.

Deweese said she had known the man for about seven or eight months, but told him to stay away and that she didn’t want anything to do with him.

“I’ve dated a lot of psychos in my life, but nobody like that,” Deweese said.

Firefighters requested assistance from the police because they said Deweese was blocking the fireplace, wanting to protect the bricks.

“I told them to leave him in the chimney and let him die,” she said.

Disorderly conduct charged

She received misdemeanor citations on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with a firefighter. Valencio was not charged in the incident.

Deweese said she received the citations after she realized firefighters were going to destroy the wall.

Friends staying with her called 911 when they realized somebody was in the chimney, she said.

After the rescue, she said she went back to bed and later awoke to find the man back at the home.

“I beat his (butt) and told him to get out,” she said.

She forced him out the front door, screaming and throwing beer bottles at him.

Zoe Comaish, 32, was trapped for two hours as boyfriend Stuart Fisher tried in vain to free her.

Eventually he rang 999, but the three cops who came round only managed to cut the chain — and could not get the cuffs off her wrists.

Sound engineer Stuart, 34, said: “They told us we’d have to go down to the fire station. Zoe was mortified.

“They were all laughing and wished us luck.”

But when the luckless couple arrived at their local station in Southampton, Hants, one watch was coming on duty and another was going off.

It meant there were 20 officers keen to help.

Saleswoman Zoe said: “I’ve never gone so red in my whole life.”

One said: “She wanted the floor to open up and swallow her. The boys were arguing over who would use the bolt cutters. It took a few snips and she was free.”

Amazingly, Zoe has forgiven Stuart.

More than $53 million had been spent over the past decade trying to extinguish the Rujigou coal field fire, which had consumed about 1 million tons of high-quality anthracite coal annually, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported Sunday. The underground inferno was finally put out last month.

Officials had estimated the fire caused economic loss of $40 million and discharged 90,000 tons of hazardous substances into the air each year.

It’s not certain how the coal fire started but folklore has it that ill-treated miners set their mine on fire because of a beef with their boss.
