Beauty is more than skin deep
The face is our window to the world, our source of expression, showing off our beauty and character to others. Yet do we really know what we are doing to it with the beauty products we use day in and day out? Do cosmetics really deliver on their promises or is pseudo-science taking over? This is your chance to ask the questions, quiz the beauty experts and test some products with a night of pampering and learning.
digitally created characters. Improved computing power and increasingly sophisticated software means artists and engineers can now create virtual characters that are so lifelike they appear almost human. How long will it be until we see these characters appearing in everyday life, perhaps even as virtual assistants taking our cappuccino order? From the Matrix to Lara Croft, Toy Story to Monsters inc, where is animation taking us and where will it all end?

There are two variants of rugby, namely Rugby Union and Rugby League, with one of the chief differences between the two being the number of players per team - 15 in Union and 13 in League, but that's not desperately relevant.
To deal with Rugby Union, a rugby team is divided into the forwards - 8 big hulking guys who form the "scrum" (hence the term line of scrimmage) - and the backs who line up diagonally across the pitch whenever a scrum takes place, but who must be behind the ball. The 7 backs are themselves sub-divided into 2 half-backs (the scrum-half, the guy who feeds the ball into the scrum and distributes it down the line of backs if his side should win the ball, and the fly-half, sometimes known as the standoff-half, who's next down the line), 4 three-quarter backs (the inside and outside centres and a left and right wing) and right at the rear, the full back.
So it's all about the positioning of the players on a rugby pitch. I suspect that American Football adopted and amended these terms.
