If you don't like tight spaces, you might want to look away now.

Otonamaki, which directly translates to "adult wrapping", is a Japanese therapeutic method meant to alleviate posture problems and stiffness and it is gaining traction around the country.
The idea for Otonamaki comes from the practice of Ohinamaki, which sees babies wrapped up in cloth in a similar fashion. This is meant to help with their physical development.
Each session lasts around 20 minutes.
"The reason why Otonamaki was invented was because some people were worried about babies struggling or feeling claustrophobic while being wrapped up," says Orie Matsuo of Kyoko Proportion, one of several companies that offer Otonamaki to its customers.
"We thought if adults were rolled up like them, they could experience how good it feels."
And if customer feedback is anything to go by, Otonamaki is certainly proving successful.
"It looks cramped but it doesn't feel tight at all," said a 40-year-old customer of Kyoko Proportion. "It's the opposite of that. Afterwards I felt an improvement in my shoulders and back."
"It felt so good I almost fell asleep. My neck and lower back were relaxed, " said another customer. "I want my husband to learn [how to do] it."
But not everyone is convinced.
"This looks so creepy," said one user on Twitter. Another compared it to something out of a horror film.
Otonamaki was first invented by famous Japanese midwife Nobuko Watanabe, who also invented a popular maternity belt used commonly in Japan.
The massage is offered mainly to women, some of whom come to see it as an alternative to massage or physical therapy.
Ms Matsuo says Otonamaki allows users to make their hip, leg and shoulder muscles more flexible.
"By pushing your shoulders and legs together, your body gets straightened and removes the pain of your back, lower back and hip joint," she tells the BBC. "Some of our clients come to treat their pelvis after childbirth, or others to fix bow legs."

The company first introduced the practice in 2015, and so far, some 70 people have experienced Otonamaki with them.
But it might take a while for the practice to catch on, it's certainly not mainstream yet.
"I've never heard of Otonamaki or tried it myself", said Director of the Fukumoto Japanese Holistic Clinic, Shimpei Fukumoto. "I understand what they are trying to do but it's not traditional physiotherapy."
As an anti-stress technique many of those who have experienced it, testify to its effectiveness. However, it still feels some way from being part of established physical therapy procedure.
"I totally disagree with the treatment method," said Mr Visvanathan Ravi, Senior Physiotherapist at Hallmark Physiotherapy. "They way they were wrapped up may lead to muscle strains if not in the short term, but the long term.
"If a person stays in the position for 30 minutes, I'm sure there will be spine problems. It's not advisable to do this treatment."

Beijing has been chosen to host the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, beating the bid of Kazakhstan's Almaty.

Having hosted the 2008 Olympics, the Chinese capital will be the first city to host both a summer and winter Games.
Beijing and Almaty were considered outsiders when the 2022 bid race opened two years ago.
But after a host of European cities withdrew for political or financial reasons, the Chinese bid beat Almaty by 44 votes to 40 with one abstention.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said that Beijing was awarded the Games because it fitted its new agenda for a "stronger focus on sustainability, legacy, and transparency".
Despite the IOC estimating costs for "Olympic villages, sports venues and other infrastructure" would be £962m ($1.5bn), it said Beijing "will rely heavily on existing venues, including those built for the Games in 2008".
The statement continued: "Thanks to an additional contribution from the IOC of approximately £564m ($880m) to support the staging of the Olympic Winter Games in 2022, Beijing is confident that it will either break even or make a profit."
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, were estimated to have cost £31bn ($51bn), making it the most expensive Olympics in history.
The Games, which was supported by former NBA star Yao Ming, will be divided between the capital and the city of Zhangjiakou - which is 118 miles north-west of Beijing and will host the snow events.
Despite concerns about a lack of natural snow in the mountains, and protests from human rights groups, Beijing had been the clear favourite to win the vote after it successfully hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics.
The IOC said in a statement: "Beijing aims to use the Games to accelerate the development of a new sport, culture and tourism area, and to encourage interest in winter sports in a region that is home to more than 300 million people in northern China."
But Human Rights Watch said the decision was "a slap in the face to China's besieged human rights activists".
Sophie Richardson, China director of the pressure group, added: "The Olympic motto of 'higher, faster, and stronger' is a perfect description of the Chinese government's assault on civil society: more peaceful activists detained in record time, subject to far harsher treatment."
Olympic skeleton champion Lizzie Yarnold told BBC Radio 5 live: "Before 2008 there was a lot of discussion around human rights and awareness around it. I hope that the International Olympic Committee have taken that into consideration and are going to make actual changes this time, rather than just discuss it.
"The venues need to be technically excellent. They need to be Olympic standard for you to bring good performances as athletes. I really hope the IOC will make sure that things are ready for the World Cup races that will have to take place there before the Olympics."


Matatus, the minibus taxis used by so many Kenyans to navigate the capital Nairobi, often covered in graffiti and modified with extra-loud horns, are facing a crackdown from regulators.

Offensive graffiti, noisy modified exhausts, horns and sound systems are all being targeted by the country's transport and safety authority (NTSA).
Vehicles flouting the rules will be pulled off the road, the NTSA says.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has previously said he supports artwork on matatus.
The extra decoration or "pimping" of matatus is viewed by many as an important aspect of cultural life in the capital.
However, the NTSA is unhappy about the decoration on some matatus, which it deems "excessive and vulgar", making it harder to identify which bus operator the vehicle belongs to.
Owners, operators and drivers of matatus caught flouting the regulations face arrest and fines, with possible jail terms if they fail to pay up.
Extra traffic police are out on the roads to enforce the plan, the BBC's Odhiabmbo Joseph reports from Nairobi.
There are fears that the crackdown by traffic police, who are notoriously corrupt, will simply be used as an excuse to solicit bribes, our correspondent adds.
Previous attempts to clean up the matatus have not been effective.
Speaking to the BBC, Patrick Oma, who works at one of the city's matatu parks, conceded that the move to reduce noise pollution from modified exhausts was "not a bad idea".
However, graffiti, he says, "doesn't cause accidents" and has "created jobs for young people".


Formula 1 bosses have rejected plans to introduce a cheaper, alternative engine alongside the turbo hybrids used since 2014.

The proposal was backed by commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone and Jean Todt, president of governing body the FIA.
But a meeting of the F1 Commission on Tuesday voted "not to pursue" the idea, an FIA statement said.
Engine manufacturers agreed instead to address concerns about the cost, supply and complication of existing engines.
A statement issued following the meeting of the F1 Commission - which includes representatives of the teams, engine builders, circuits and sponsors, as well as Todt and Ecclestone - said "the parties involved have agreed on a course to address several key areas relating to power-unit supply in F1".
These are:
The statement said the manufacturers would "present a proposal by 15 January 2016 that will seek to provide solutions to the above concerns".
The vote represents a victory for Mercedes and Ferrari in a power struggle with Todt and, particularly, Ecclestone, who has grown frustrated with the companies' influence in F1 and his own impotence to introduce change.
Todt and Ecclestone had championed the plan for the alternative engine for different reasons.
Todt was using it as leverage to get the manufacturers to reduce the costs of the engines manufacturers sell to customer teams.
Ecclestone was trying to create a situation that reduced the power of Mercedes and Ferrari and increased his own.
The FIA said it had received "four credible expressions of interest" from potential suppliers of the engine.
But Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff was among those who had argued that the plan, which included an 'equivalency formula' aimed at allowing the two types of engine to compete against each other fairly, could "never work".
Tuesday's agreement by the F1 Commission follows concerns about the current engines which have led to two politically intense years since their introduction.
Many parties agree that the turbo hybrids are important for F1 as they mirror trends in road-car development and are key to keeping manufacturers interested in competing in the sport.
However, the smaller teams have complained that they are too expensive, Mercedes' domination of F1 has caused unease and Red Bull's struggles to find an engine for 2016 have focused concerns on the fact that the rules do not force manufacturers to supply other teams.
Red Bull has a contract with Renault for 2016, but it sought to end this after the breakdown of relations between the two parties as a result of Red Bull's dissatisfaction with the engine's uncompetitiveness.
But after being rejected by Mercedes, and being told Ferrari did not have the resources to supply the latest-specification engine next year, Red Bull look forced to continue their relationship with the French company.
An approach to Honda was ruled out after Ron Dennis, chief executive of the Japanese company's partner McLaren, exercised his contractual right to veto a second supply.
The increase in cost of the turbo hybrids compared to the 2.4-litre naturally aspirated V8s that were used until 2013 varies.
Costs of the V8s, including a basic energy-recovery package, ranged from about 12-15m euros (£8.5-10.6m), while the turbo hybrids cost in the region of 18-23m euros (£12.7-16.3m).


Riyad Mahrez says last season's battle against relegation has helped Leicester in their challenge for the Premier League title this time round.

The Foxes were bottom with seven games to go last season but stayed up and now top the division by five points.
"When you go through a moment and you are down and losing your head, it gives you a lot of experience," said Mahrez.
"Now we get to test for first place. The mentality is not the same. Now we have nothing to lose."
The 24-year-old midfielder added: "Last season, it was very difficult with a lot of pressure. This year it is a positive pressure.
"If we finish first it is a bonus. If we finish three or four then it is OK. Last year, if we go down into the Championship we can't do this, this year."

Leicester have defied all expectations this season, losing only two league games (they lost 19 in 2014-15) to lead the division ahead of Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City with 13 games to go.
At the start of the campaign some bookmakers had the Foxes at 5,000-1 to win the title but they are now favourites.
"This is Leicester, it is not like Manchester City or Manchester United. They have an obligation to win things," said Algeria international Mahrez.
"We don't have an obligation, it is just a dream. A dream is better than obligation."
Mahrez, who joined Leicester from Le Havre in January 2014, has excelled this season, scoring 14 goals and providing assists for 10 more in the league.
He is one of two players in the City side, the other being striker Jamie Vardy (18), who are into double figures for goals in the campaign.
"There is not one star, two stars, three stars - we play and work for each other," continued Mahrez.
"Every team has to have two or three players who score and this year it is Jamie and me. People can say a lot about us but we are just the same, just two players from Leicester City."
In the summer, Leicester sacked Nigel Pearson, the manager who had overseen their impressive escape from relegation with seven wins from the last nine games of the season.
He was replaced by former Chelsea and Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri, who Mahrez says has brought a work-rate and tactical discipline to the side.
"We are together, very compact," he said. "We think a lot about tactics.
"We do a lot of work defensively. Me, for example, if I don't work, I don't play. Two times this year he put me on the bench because I didn't defend. I know if I don't work for the team he will drop me to the bench.
"Maybe I will start, but if I don't work, I will get taken off after 45 minutes."

Last Saturday, Leicester won 3-1 at one of their rivals for the title, Manchester City.
This Sunday, they face another as they travel to third-placed Arsenal, who are five points behind and whose boss says Leicester are favourites to win at Emirates Stadium.
"He is just saying that to take the pressure of his team," added Mahrez.
"Arsenal have to win the title because it is an obligation for them. For us it is a bonus, a dream. It will be a very difficult game. They are a big team who play in the Champions League every year.
"We don't have any pressure. We will just play how we do every game."
Riyadh Mahrez was at the Wigston Academy supporting the PlayStation Schools Cup run in association with the English Schools FA.

Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara has sacked his government in a row over a new marriage law which would make wives joint heads of the household.

Mr Ouattara's party supported the changes but the members of the ruling coalition were opposed.
The strongest opposition came from the PDCI, which backed Mr Ouattara in the disputed November 2010 election.
Analysts say the splits highlight the continued political instability in the world's major cocoa producer.
It is slowly recovering from months of unrest following the poll, in which former President Laurent Gbagbo refused to accept Mr Ouattara's victory.
Kenya's controversial marriage reforms
PDCI candidate Henri Konan Bedie came third in the election and in exchange for his support in the run-off, Mr Ouattara appointed a prime minister from the PDCI.
But sources say Mr Ouattara feels he no longer has the full support of the PDCI, which governed Ivory Coast for 39 years from independence until a 1999 coup.
Like many African countries, Ivory Coast's law currently recognises the husband as head of the household, responsible for all major decisions - a situation Mr Ouattara's RDR wanted to change.
Amadou Gon Coulibaly, general secretary of the presidency, said the unexpected decision to dissolve the government came after the PDCI voted against the new marriage law on Tuesday evening.
"You can say that this was the drop of water that made the vase overflow," a presidential aide, who did not wish to be named, told the AP news agency.
Since assuming control in March 2011, Mr Ouattara has presided over an economic recovery in Ivory Coast.
But these economic gains have been threatened by a series of armed attacks on military targets and the country's infrastructure, allegedly launched by allies of Mr Gbagbo from neighbouring Ghana.
The border between the two countries was closed for two weeks after an attack on an army checkpoint in September.
Mr Ouattara has been accused of not working hard enough to promote national reconciliation between his supporters and those of Mr Gbagbo.
More than 3,000 people were killed before Mr Gbagbo was forced from office, with the help of France and UN troops.
Mr Gbagbo is now awaiting trial for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.


Wales claimed a momentous win against Belgium to regain top spot in their Euro 2016 qualifying group and take a huge stride towards ending their 57-year absence from major tournaments.

Gareth Bale latched on to Radja Nainggolan's misdirected header and finished with consummate calm to give Wales an unlikely lead against the team ranked second in the world.
Belgium dominated for long periods but were frustrated by disciplined and brave Welsh defending at a highly-charged Cardiff City Stadium.
Wales are now three points clear of second-placed Belgium at the summit of Group B and five ahead of third-placed Israel, who lost 3-1 in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Cyprus are level on points with Israel after a 3-1 win in Andorra.
Having started this campaign as fourth seeds, victory also means Wales will now be among the top seeds for 2018 World Cup qualifying.
Without an appearance at a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup, Wales had cultivated a newfound sense of belief as they entered this game unbeaten in their five matches to date.
Coleman and his players had spoken beforehand about the anguish of previous near misses and were determined to help buck that trend by beating a Belgian side who had not lost since a 2014 World Cup quarter-final defeat by Argentina.
And this huge defensive effort against Marc Wilmots' team is a significant step towards securing their place at next summer's European Championship in France.
Coleman sprang a major surprise with his team selection, starting with fringe Swansea City defender Jazz Richards at right-back.
Richards and his defensive colleagues were kept busy in an open start to the game in which a fluid, attacking Belgian side put their opponents under pressure.
Nainggolan had a curling 20-yard shot well saved by Wayne Hennessey, while visiting captain Eden Hazard volleyed over the bar.
Wales struggled to keep the ball as they were overwhelmed by black shirts, but took the lead with a goal equal in farce and quality.
Aaron Ramsey's free-kick was half cleared, only for Nainggolan to head the ball back into Belgium's six-yard box, where Bale coolly chested it down and slotted the ball through Thibaut Courtois's legs.
The goal sparked wild celebrations in the stands, and Wales could have doubled their advantage 10 minutes later as Hal Robson-Kanu's first-time shot fizzed wide after Ramsey's initial effort was saved by Courtois.
Wales held on to their lead until half-time, their five-man defence diligently nullifying Belgium's numerous and potent attacking threats.
The visitors brought on Everton striker Romelu Lukaku at the break and, with an added physical edge to their attack, they continued to control the game.
Kevin De Bruyne shot narrowly wide from the edge of the area, while Hazard and Benteke found their attempts at goal blocked by bloody-minded Welsh defenders.
The strain of their efforts began to tell late in the game, as an exhausted Bale was replaced by Sam Vokes with three minutes left having appeared to struggle with cramp.
Urged on by the sell-out crowd, Wales resisted Belgium's desperate injury-time attempts to salvage a point and clung on for a famous victory.

A woman running for the hospital that saved her newborn daughter's life has been confirmed as the one millionth person to complete the London marathon.

Shannon Foudy made it across the line on 24 April in her first marathon but officials needed two weeks to check all 38,000 runners' results.
The 39-year-old from Hemel Hempstead said: "I knew about the #oneinamillion campaign and it's unbelievable.
"It is the most worthwhile thing I have ever done."
In January 2010, Shannon gave birth at just 26 weeks and Catrin, who weighed only 2lb 5oz, battled through organ failure and a brain haemorrhage at the Luton & Dunstable Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Choose which celebrity you'd like help from in the new Couch to 5K programme, designed for people who have done little or no running.
Shannon's daughter, now a thriving six year old, and her partner Jamie were in London watching and cheering along with members of her family.
"I ran to say thank you to the Luton & Dunstable NICU," said Shannon.
"Catrin, Jamie and my mum and dad were at the 14-mile mark so I stopped there for a few cuddles.
"Being surrounded by so many people running for great causes was amazing."
Shannon completed the 35th London Marathon in five hours 45 minutes and 18 seconds.
For finishing in the millionth place she receives a unique #oneinamillion t-shirt and a guaranteed place for the 2017 event.
A record number of 253,930 UK applicants have registered for a ballot place in the 2017 London Marathon, more than 6,000 up from the previous record in 2016.

World number eight Rafael Nadal is out of the US Open after losing a five-set, third-round thriller to Italian Fabio Fognini at Flushing Meadows.

Spaniard Nadal's 10-year run of winning at least one Grand Slam singles title was ended by the world number 32, who won 3-6 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4.
It is the first time the 29-year-old - twice a US Open champion - has lost in a Grand Slam having been two sets up.
Fognini, 28, faces Feliciano Lopez of Spain in the fourth round.
Earlier this year, Nadal lost in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open to Czech Tomas Berdych and the last eight at the French Open to Serbian world number one Novak Djokovic, before he was eliminated in the second round of Wimbledon by German qualifier Dustin Brown.
It is also the earliest Nadal, who was seeded eighth, has been eliminated from the US Open since a third-round exit at the hands of American James Blake in 2005.
"The only thing this means is I played worse than the last 10 years," said the 14-time Grand Slam winner. "That's the real thing. By the way, for me it was amazing to win 10 years in a row a Grand Slam.
"You can imagine how difficult it is to make that happen. I have to accept that it was not my year and keep fighting till the end of the season to finish in a positive way."
Clay court specialist Fognini, who had lost his last seven matches on hard courts coming into this tournament, played magnificently from the third set on against an opponent he had beaten twice this season but lost to in the final of the Hamburg Open in August.
In a gripping final set, the two traded seven service breaks in a row, before Fognini brought the three hour 46-minute tie to an end shortly after 01:00 local time.
"I can't describe how happy I am," said Fognini. "It was very tough. To do it against Rafa, two sets down - it was an incredible match."
Fognini is in to the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the first time and is the first Italian man to reach this stage at the US Open since Davide Sanguinetti 10 years ago.


Five people believed to be linked to the man who killed 84 people in Nice are in police custody, the Paris prosecutor's office says.

Three arrests were made on Saturday and two on Friday, including the man's estranged wife, Le Monde reported.
Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel drove a lorry into crowds marking Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais on Thursday before he was shot dead by police.
So-called Islamic State claimed one of its followers carried out the attack.
A news agency linked to the group, Amaq Agency, said: "He did the attack in response to calls to target the citizens of the coalition that is fighting the Islamic State."
French President Francois Hollande met with his defence and security chiefs and cabinet ministers on Saturday.
Mr Hollande, who says the attack was a terrorist act, has already moved to extend a state of emergency by three months.
Prosecutors said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Tunisian, drove the lorry 2km (1.2 miles) along the promenade targeting people.
Of the 84 who died, 10 were children. Some 202 people were injured; 52 are critical, of whom 25 are on life support.
Stephanie Simpson, from the Lenval children's hospital in Nice, said five children remained in critical condition, one was in a "very bad" condition, three were on artificial respiration, one had been stabilised and one eight-year-old child remained unidentified.
Mr Hollande said 50 people were "between life and death", while several people are missing and a "small number" of Britons were injured.
A state of emergency has been in place across France since the Paris attacks carried out by militants from the so-called Islamic State group. The 13 November attacks left 130 people dead.
Mr Hollande had proposed lifting the state of emergency on 26 July, but reversed his decision after the Nice attack.
Some 30,000 people were on the Promenade des Anglais at the time of the attack, officials said.
Residents of Nice and foreign tourists were killed, among them four French citizens, three Algerians, a teacher and two schoolchildren from Germany, three Tunisians, two Swiss, two Americans, a Ukrainian, an Armenian and a Russian.
Mr Hollande said the attack was of "an undeniable terrorist nature".
He warned that the battle against terrorism would be long, as France faced an enemy "that will continue to attack those people and those countries that count liberty as an essential value".
There was a visible security presence in Nice on Saturday morning and soldiers were patrolling the front of the main train station Gare De Nice Ville.
Stallholder Romain Ribero said France was used to high security in the wake of last year's Paris attacks.
"We feel safe. My children and my wife live here. We feel secure. I am already hurt after Paris, but we must go on," said the 37-year-old, who lost two friends in the November shootings,
Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was known to the police as a petty criminal, but was "totally unknown to intelligence services... and was never flagged for signs of radicalisation," the prosecutor added.
However, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he was "in way or another" linked to radical Islam and Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said the attack bore the hallmarks of jihadist terrorism.


Scottish prosecutors have launched a bid to extradite a Filipino man over the death of a Dunfermline teenager who took his own life after being blackmailed by strangers online.

Daniel Perry, 17, fell from the Forth Road Bridge in 2013 after being targeted by a "sextortion" scam.
It involves internet users being lured into webcam chats and then blackmailed.
A warrant has now been issued for the arrest of Archie Gian Tolin in the Philippines.
The Crown Office wants to see him face trial in Scotland.
In 2014 he was arrested and bailed in the Philippines along with many others as part of an operation by British and Filipino police into organised gangs said to have been involved in cyber-crime.
Mr Perry was said to have believed he was talking to an American girl online.
However, he was then understood to have been told by blackmailers the conversations had been recorded and would be shared with friends and family unless he paid them money.
Inquiries by detectives from Police Scotland revealed an online trail, which led to the Philippines and links to organised crime groups there.
The extradition move is thought to be the first since a new treaty came into force between the UK and the Philippines.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Archie Gian Tolin in connection with the death of Daniel Perry.
"Steps are now being taken to enforce that warrant and secure his extradition from the Philippines."
After the initial operation in the Philippines, Police Scotland warned there was "no hiding place" for those involved in extortion and blackmail.
Det Ch Insp Gary Cunningham said: "Following the death of Daniel Perry, Police Scotland has continued its inquiries along with a number of other agencies including Interpol and the authorities within the Philippines.
"A 20-year-old man is now subject to an international arrest warrant in connection with this investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
Speaking in 2014, Mr Perry's mother, Nicola Perry, said: "The manner of Daniel's death is every parent's worst nightmare.
"Losing Daniel has left us all devastated and we are still trying to come to terms with what has happened."


Coach Georges Leekens has described his Tunisia side's Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final defeat by Equatorial Guinea as "a shame for football".

Tunisia were 1-0 up when they conceded a controversial penalty in the 91st minute and lost 2-1 after extra-time.
"The referee has made a huge error. It's an injustice," said Leekens. "The result was forced. I can't accept it."
The country's football chief Wadie Jary has resigned from the Confederation of African Football in protest.
Leekens added: "In all my 45 years in football, 15 as a player and 30 as a coach, I've never seen anything like it, the result was forced. I can't accept it."
It looked a harsh decision when Mauritian referee Rajindraparsad Seechurn pointed to the penalty spot in stoppage time, ruling that Ali Maaloul had fouled Ivan Bolado.
Javier Balboa slotted in the kick and he went on to score the winner with a free-kick from 25 yards in the 102nd minute.
"We played a good game, we've worked like mad men, we had a difficult first two weeks and we didn't deserve that," Leekens said after Saturday's match in Bata.
"If they had played better than us, then I would accept defeat but I can't in this fashion.
"My players gave everything and I am very proud. But I am very, very disappointed, not just for me but for Tunisia and my team. I think we deserved to go through but I wish Equatorial Guinea luck."
While many neutrals may sympathise with Tunisia over the penalty awarded against them, the squad's reaction has damaged their reputation.
The constant pushing and shoving between both teams that had been a feature of the match spilled over after Balboa converted the controversial spot-kick - within seconds, bottles of water were thrown from the Tunisian bench at their Equatorial Guinea counterparts.
The final whistle was met by uglier scenes as at least five North African players chased referee Seechur, who struggled to keep control and had to be protected by security officials as emotions spiralled out of control.
"There was a lot of anger because we were disappointed," Tunisia forward Wahbi Khazri told BBC Sport.
The referee is the boss on the pitch and if he says it's a penalty, it's a penalty
"It's a scandal. The referee won the match and killed the game. It's unacceptable. I think we deserved to win but the referee was better than us today.
"When I see things like that, I'm keen to go home. I think we're a long way from modern-day football in Africa."
Equatorial Guinea were angered by the post-match focus on the penalty, feeling that the achievement of the tournament outsiders should have been celebrated instead.
Ranked 118th in the world by Fifa, Equatorial Guinea - a team that was eliminated from the qualifying campaign last year after fielding an ineligible player - have used their reinstatement as hosts to great advantage.
Now a side that agreed to stage the finals in November, after original hosts Morocco pulled out, can claim to be among the best four sides in Africa.
"We are so happy to be in the semi-finals, and the key to our victory was passion," defender Rui told BBC Sport.
"The referee is the boss on the pitch and if he says it's a penalty, it's a penalty. I don't care about it."
Meanwhile, striker Luis Fabiani was keen to downplay the ugly scenes that marred the latter part of the game, as well as its denouement.
"It's a very emotional game," he told BBC Sport. "It happens in football but you leave it on the pitch."
The Confederation of African Football has told the BBC it will await the referee's report before responding to the behaviour of both teams.
Equatorial Guinea will play the winner of Sunday's quarter-final between Ghana and Guinea in Malabo on Thursday.


A water company has admitted it did not deal "well enough" with a sinkhole and burst main which left up to 20,000 homes without water.

The breach in Epperstone, Nottinghamshire, left homes without running water for more than 12 hours.
Nottinghamshire County Council said its offer of help was turned down by Severn Trent Water (STW).
Water supplies were returned to all areas, including Bingham and Radcliffe-on-Trent, by about midnight on Sunday.
Live updates and more from Nottinghamshire
Jonathan Smith of STW said: "There's learning opportunities for us here, we don't think we did well enough for our customers throughout all of this.
"We did get bottles of water out to our most vulnerable customers, like nursing homes, [but] we thought we could get people back on more quickly than we could get water supplies to them".
Sally Hall, who was driving through Epperstone on Sunday morning, described how her "car was sucked across the road" into the sinkhole.
Councillor Alan Rhodes, leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, said the authority was ready to help the affected areas but was told it was not needed.
"The county council offered its services to Severn Trent and we were told we weren't required," Mr Rhodes said.
"We could well have helped to make sure vulnerable householders were catered for; we could have helped with any evacuations.
"But we were told none of that was required".
Mike Godwin, who lives in Bingham, said residents were left without information and had to buy water for people in need.
"Thankfully we've got a Facebook group in Bingham that helps and really it was only through that that people knew what was going on" he said.
Mr Godwin has now asked Newark & Bingham MP Robert Jenrick to review STW's response.


About 20 UN observers have been detained by about 30 Syrian armed fighters near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, the UN has confirmed.

It said the observers were monitoring a ceasefire between Syria and Israel.
A video posted earlier on the internet showed men claiming to be Syrian rebels standing next to vehicles with the letters "UN" written on them.
The Martyrs of Yarmouk group told the BBC they had taken the observers to stop Syrian troops from shelling them.
The UN mission in the Golan Heights is sending a team to assess the situation and negotiate the observers' release.
UN deputy spokesman Eduardo del Buey said the peacekeepers from the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (Undof) were on "a regular supply mission" when they were stopped near an observation post by the armed men.
He said the post had sustained damage and was evacuated over the past weekend following "heavy combat in close proximity".
The spokesman did not provide any further details.
Some reports suggest the UN observers were from the Philippines.
In the video published on the internet, the gunmen identified themselves as the "Martyrs of Yarmouk".
Syria's millionth refugee
They are heard saying that the UN personnel would not be released until forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad withdrew from the village of Jamla in the area.
The rebels later admitted taking the monitors to try to stop the Syrian army from firing on them and civilians in the areas.
The rebels added that the UN team were their guests.
The video was circulated by the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The SOHR is one of the most prominent organisations documenting and reporting incidents and casualties in the Syrian conflict. The group says its reports are impartial, though its information cannot be independently verified.
Meanwhile, the Free Syrian Army (FSA) - the main rebel fighting force - condemned the seizure of the UN observers.
FSA leader Gen Salim Idriss told the BBC's Newshour programme he would "do everything what I can to liberate them".
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the UN Security Council also condemned the detention of the observers and demanded their immediate release.
In a separate development, the New York-based pressure group Human Rights Watch said it was investigating whether the same rebels were involved in the executions of seized Syrian government soldiers earlier this month.
The UN has had its monitors in the area since the 1974 ceasefire between Israel and Syria.
Israel has occupied the Golan Heights since 1967 and later annexed the territory - in a move that is not internationally recognised.
Recently there has been fighting in the eastern foothills of the Golan Heights between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces and rebels.
Israel has said its policy is not to get involved in the Syrian conflict. However, in recent months it has retaliated when there has been Syrian fire into Israeli-controlled areas.
Israel has also reinforced a fence that runs along the armistice line, and officials say Syrian refugees will not be allowed into Israel en masse.
Earlier on Wednesday, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said the number of Syrian refugees who had fled the conflict reached a million.
It said half of the refugees were children - most of them under 11 and often traumatised by their experiences.
The largest numbers of refugees were seeking shelter in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt.
And in a separate development, Britain said it would provide armoured vehicles and body armour to opposition forces in Syria "to help save lives".
Foreign Secretary William Hague said London would offer millions of pounds in "non-lethal" equipment, including search and rescue, communications, and disease-prevention materials.
Up to 70,000 people have been killed and a million refugees have fled since the crisis in Syria began two years ago.


All-rounder James Faulkner became the sixth player to take a one-day hat-trick for Australia as Sri Lanka won the second match of the series.

The left-arm seamer, 26, dismissed Kusal Perera with the final ball of the 46th over before removing Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera in the 48th.
Faulkner finished with 3-45 as Sri Lanka made 288 in Colombo.
They bowled Australia out for 206 in reply to win by 82 runs and level the five-match series at 1-1.
Slow left-armer Amila Aponso, who made his debut in the opening match of the series, finished with 4-18 in 9.2 overs, with Matthew Wade's 76 the top score for the tourists.
Bruce Reid, Anthony Stuart, Brett Lee, Clint McKay and Dan Christian are the other Australians with ODI hat-tricks.


Ched Evans should be allowed to play football again when he is released from prison, says Professional Footballers' Association chief Gordon Taylor.

The Wales striker, 25, was jailed for five years for rape in April 2012 but is due to be released early this month.
More than 90,000 people have signed a petition calling on Evans' former club Sheffield United not to re-employ him.
"I didn't know there was a law that said once you come out of prison you still can't do anything," Taylor said.
The PFA chief, speaking to the BBC's Sport Wales programme, added: "As a trade union we believe in the rule of law... besides that, he still wants to contribute to society.
"If he earns money he'll pay taxes, those taxes will go to help people who maybe can't get a job."
Sheffield United signed Evans for £3m in 2009, but released him along with 10 other players the month after his conviction for raping a 19-year-old woman at a hotel near Rhyl, Denbighshire.
The South Yorkshire club has refused to comment on a possible return for Evans, who was capped 13 times for Wales before his conviction.
Meanwhile Wales manager Chris Coleman told a media conference on Thursday ahead of their Euro 2016 qualifier against Bosnia-Hercegovina on Friday: "I've not thought about Ched Evans. That story has come from outside our camp.
"It is not in my mind or the players' minds," he added.
"Bosnia is at the forefront of our thoughts... that is what we need to concentrate on. I think people understand that."
The director of communications for Rape Crisis England and Wales, Katie Russell, said the charity was not questioning the right of Evans to return to employment but hoped "football would seize the chance to send a strong message condemning sexual violence against women".
"Obviously Rape Crisis completely supports and recognises the right of any convicted criminal to return to work after they've completed their sentence, that's not something we're disputing," Russell said.
"But we have to accept that in this case it is an incredibly high-profile figure who will inevitably return... where he will be highly paid, he will get a lot of profile and will be celebrated of course for his sporting prowess.
"We would say that the responsibility is really with the clubs and the football authority more widely to send a very strong message."
Russell continued: "They need to send a strong message that rape and sexual violence - and violence against women and girls more broadly - will not be tolerated within football."
Evans has always maintained his innocence and legal representatives for the striker are preparing a submission to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) aimed at quashing his conviction.
The CCRC is an independent public body set up to review possible miscarriages of justice in the criminal courts and refer appropriate cases to the appeal court.
The player's girlfriend, Natasha Massey, 24, has also publicly stated that Evans should be allowed back to his former club despite his conviction for rape.
Watch the full Sport Wales report on Ched Evans on BBC Two Wales this Friday, 10 October at 19:00 BST; available for seven days after transmission on iPlayer.


Two poems by author JRR Tolkien have been discovered in a 1936 copy of a school annual.

The Shadow Man, and a Christmas poem called Noel, were found at Our Lady's School, Abingdon.
It is thought Tolkien got to know the school while he was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University.
The poems were printed a year before Tolkien's first literary sensation The Hobbit was published.
The Shadow Man is an earlier version of a poem eventually published in 1962 in Tolkien's Adventures of Tom Bombadil collection.
The existence of the poems came to light after American Tolkien scholar Wayne G. Hammond got in touch with the school.
He knew from notes made by Tolkien that two of his poems appeared in a magazine he called The Abingdon Chronicle.
This was actually the 1936 annual of Our Lady's School, which was then run by the Sisters of Mercy.
School principal Stephen Oliver said: "At first we couldn't find the 1936 edition and referred Mr Hammond to the archives of the Sisters of Mercy in London.
"Then, while preparing for an event for former pupils of the school, we uncovered our own copy and I saw the two poems Mr Hammond had been looking for. "
The school hopes to put the annual on display at a future exhibition.


Commuters could become exhibits after Museum of London bosses revealed they hoped to make a train tunnel that runs through their new site see-through.

Thameslink trains between Farringdon and City Thameslink travel beneath Smithfield market where the museum plans to move to.
Lead curator Alex Werner said the viewing area would allow visitors to see trains run along "some of London's earliest railway tunnels".
The new site is due to open in 2022.
Mr Werner said the museum wanted to use what was already in the area to "uncover the hidden landscape beneath London".
Plans from the 19th Century show the area had a "great Victorian network of railway lines" which was used by workers at the former meat market, he said.
The "lost" River Fleet, which runs beneath Farringdon Road, acted as a water supply for the market as well as a Victorian sewer and the museum hopes to incorporate viewpoints of the water.
"There are lots of stories to tell in relation to just this part of London", Mr Werner said.
Discussions have begun about the proposed move but planning permission for the £250m project has yet to be submitted.
The City of London Corporation and City Hall have pledged £180m towards the project but the museum is looking to raise another £70m to move to its new home.


5 Seconds of Summers' Michael Clifford could be away from the band for days to come.

It's after the guitarist lost his passport boarding a plane to the UK from New York.
The other members Ashton Irwin, Luke Hemmings and Calum Hood flew without him and played a gig at the O2 Arena in London on Sunday night.
The band told BBC Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw Michael is "relaxing in America" while he sorts out a passport.
Luke says it's incredible that he managed to lose it in the first place: "Because our tour manager holds our passports and will give it to us before the flight. Then we'll have it for maybe an hour and then he'll take it back off us. In that time he's lost it."
Although he adds that Michael has previous: "I've seen Michael lose a ticket before he gets on the plane, I mean he's given it in the line and he's lost it."
The band lined up for photos after performing at The Jingle Bell Ball on Sunday with drummer Ashton saying it was weird playing a big gig as a three-piece.
"I hated him not being there it was the worst. It's just so wrong when you're in a band and a guy's not there.
"It's almost like you're betraying him. We were on stage as a three piece and it just wasn't awesome at all."
It's not known when the band, who are from Sydney, will have their red-headed guitarist back.
They're currently applying to the embassy in the US for a new emergency passport.
"He's just relaxing having a bit of Michael time," said Aston.
Calum joked with Nick Grimshaw that the group is planning dates without Michael as they don't know where he is.
"We normally have a group text but he's not in it. We're making plans so you don't want to have him it (laughs). Where is he? New York?"
On Twitter Michael said: "Really, really sorry for anyone who I've let down for not being able to come. You get a free pass to call me stupid."
The boys are due to perform another gig in Liverpool on Wednesday night but it looks like Michael will miss that too.
Earlier this year the Australian boy band announced a new UK tour.
The Rock Out With Your Socks Out tour will take place in May and June 2015.
The tour dates are follows:
Belfast, Odyssey Arena - 31 May
Glasgow, The SSE Hydro - 1 June
Newcastle, Metro Radio Arena - 2
Leeds, First Direct Arena - 3
Birmingham, The NIA - 5
Cardiff, Motorpoint Arena - 7
Manchester, Phones4U Arena - 9
London, Wembley Arena - 12 & 13

A pair of Queen Victoria's silk stockings have failed to sell at an auction in North Yorkshire.

The hosiery, dating from the 1870s, is embroidered with the royal VR monogram and went under the hammer at Tennants Auctionneers in Leyburn.
The auctioneers had expected the stockings to fetch between £400-£600 despite their less than pristine condition.
The firms said the hosiery might still be bought by an after-auction bidder.
Under garments belonging to Queen Victoria do sometimes come up for sale as she would give away hosiery as gifts to people who worked for her.
The black and cream silk stockings were not in pristine condition with several areas of discolouration and stitched repairs.


A businessman who shot his sex worker girlfriend in the head with an air pistol has been jailed for 21 months.

Jonathan Kovacik was found guilty of unlawfully wounding Rosalynde Pitcher after she told him they were not going to have a long term relationship.
A jury at Portsmouth Crown Court heard how Kovacik, 58, from Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, shot the 21-year-old in the temple with a pellet.
But he was cleared of the more serious offence of wounding with intent.
Kovacik was also found guilty of having an article with a blade or point and possessing an air gun with intent to cause fear of violence.
He was sentenced by Judge Rodger Hetherington earlier after a jury found him guilty on Monday following more than three hours of deliberations
Kovacik told the court he had fallen in love with Ms Pitcher and promised to give her Â£50,000 if she stopped taking drugs and working in the sex industry.
He also gave her Â£6,000 to pay for a breast enlargement operation.
On 20 December he said he went to see Ms Pitcher and found her with another man.
He said he took an air pistol and a knife for self-defence, because he was scared her father would be there.
Kovacik told the jury he did not remember what happened next, but recalls driving away in his car and calling police with the aim of taking his own life by being shot.


Like yesterday's storms, the campaign circus - the big name politicians - have moved on.

The by-elections in Copeland and Stoke-on-Trent Central have left politics a little clearer than before.
Labour may no longer need to fear the UK Independence Party in its heartlands, but Theresa May and her Conservatives look like they need fear no-one.
Brexit worked for the Tories in Copeland, alongside doubts about Jeremy Corbyn, and it has helped the prime minister claim to be a Tory capable of reaching people and parts of the country no Conservative leader has reached since Margaret Thatcher.
Her authority, her less easily definable aura of power, have grown.
Downing Street was already convinced they could, to put it plainly, beat Jeremy Corbyn in their sleep.
They are doubly convinced now.
So Mrs May has space to develop her big idea besides Brexit, making people who feel left out by the global economy, feel it is working for them.
Her plan to achieve that is still a work in progress.
Meanwhile, the government is still trying to manage a small voting majority in the Commons - and that will not change unless or until Mrs May wins a bigger one at the next election.
Will she be tempted to go to the country before 2020?
Dominant at home or not, Theresa May's premiership will be defined by her handling of Brexit. And that's a long struggle against Britain's European rivals and under domestic political pressure that can only increase.


Inhaling laughing gas after a traumatic event could help prevent distressing memories from "sticking" in the brain, a University College London study says.

Scenes from a film, depicting rape and murder, were shown to 50 adults. Half spent the next 30 minutes inhaling an equal mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen.
Over the next week, the number of involuntary memories of the film reported by that half declined steeply.
Among the others, the decline was more gradual, Psychological Medicine says.
"The day after they saw the film, the number of intrusions experienced by the group who received nitrous oxide fell by over a half," said lead author Dr Ravi Das.
"By contrast, the decline in intrusions was much slower in the group who received air, where there was not a significant drop in intrusions until the fourth day.
"We think that this is because nitrous oxide disrupts a process that helps permanent memories to form.
"If information is 'important' enough to remember, for instance because it produces a strong emotional response, it is 'tagged' for storage.
"The brain requires N-methyl-D-aspartate [NMDA] receptors to tag information during the day, which is then filed for long-term storage while we sleep.
"We know that nitrous oxide blocks NMDA receptors, so could interfere with tagging.
"This might explain why the nitrous oxide group seemed to have weaker memories of the film the day after they watched it."
In his 1945 work A History of Western Philosophy, Bertrand Russell wrote: "[The 19th Century US philosopher] William James describes a man who got the experience from laughing gas; whenever he was under its influence, he knew the secret of the universe, but when he came to, he had forgotten it. At last, with immense effort, he wrote down the secret before the vision had faded. When completely recovered, he rushed to see what he had written. It was, 'A smell of petroleum prevails throughout.'"
The study also suggested those who felt more "dissociated" after watching the film scenes tended to experience more frequent distressing memories.
Dissociation is a measure of how detached someone feels from a situation and from themselves, and is assessed through a questionnaire.
Signs of dissociation include a:
These feelings can also induced by inhaling nitrous oxide.
A feeling of dissociation during and after a traumatic event can be a warning sign of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Nitrous oxide is regularly used by paramedics and accident and emergency departments.
Senior author Dr Sunjeev Kamboj said: "Many people who end up in an ambulance will have undergone some form of psychological trauma, and our study suggests that the nitrous oxide is likely to be having some effect on how their brain processes it.
"However, whether it helps to prevent symptoms of PTSD or makes them more likely may depend on how dissociated patients feel before they receive it."
Dr Kamboj said further research was now needed to assess memory effects of other painkillers, such as ketamine.
Laughing gas is often used as a recreational drug, but Dr Kamboj said the amount it took to fill a balloon - the most popular recreational method - would probably be "too small to have a noticeable effect on memory formation".


A 92-year-old woman found dead in the Avon Gorge last week had been "exhausted" by requests for money from different charities, a friend has said.

Poppy seller Olive Cooke was found two days before the 70th anniversary of VE Day.
Her friend Michael Earley said she had been "under pressure" from requests, but she had also suffered ill health.
The PM called her an "incredible woman" and urged fundraising regulators to look at how they could have helped her.
David Cameron, who presented Mrs Cooke with a Points of Light award last year for being the UK's longest-serving poppy seller, also said she had "worked tirelessly for the charities she supported".
He said: "I know there is a code that is meant to protect people from feeling pressured by charities and I hope the Fundraising Standards Board will look at whether any more could have been done to prevent this."
Responding to the tragedy, fundraising organisations said they would see what lessons could be learned.
Police confirmed a body was found in Avon Gorge on 6 May and had been referred to the Avon coroner as a "sudden death".
An inquest will be opened at a later date.
Last year, Mrs Cooke told the Bristol Post she spent much of her pension on charity donations but was receiving an "overwhelming" number of letters and phone calls asking for more.
She believed charities were passing on her details to others.
Mr Earley said Mrs Cooke was being sent 180 letters a month and was plagued by phone calls.
He told BBC Radio Bristol that while he would not blame her death entirely on charities "pestering" her - she had been "under pressure".
"It was a combination of things, she also had ill health," he said.
Mr Earley said he had thrown out two bags of letters asking for money and Mrs Cooke's phone would constantly call with requests for donations. At one stage, she had 27 direct debits going to different charities, he said.
"In the end, she wouldn't answer the phone. That's what caused a little bit of anxiety. Of course, the next thing we knew, Olive passed away.
"She was exhausted by this situation."
It has also been reported that Mrs Cooke was hit hard by the loss of Â£250 she had sent a relative, which had apparently gone missing in the post.
BBC Radio Bristol's Nigel Dando spoke to Mrs Cooke's granddaughter Louise, who said while she believed the charity letters were probably a factor, Mrs Cooke had also been in ill health.
Mrs Cooke, who lived in Fishponds, lost her first husband in World War Two.
She sold poppies for the Royal British Legion (RBL) charity appeal for 76 years and had been presented with the Lord Mayor's Medal for her work.
"I met my future husband, Leslie Hussey-Yeo, in October 1939. He only had a year left in the Navy when the war started, but he had to stay on. So we married a year later - I was 18-and-a-half. He had 10 brothers and sisters. He and two brothers went to Greenwich Naval school. The eldest brother was killed on the Royal Oak.
"We just had two-and-a-half years together when he was killed on the HMS Thunderbolt. It was lost in the Sicily invasion, March 1943, by depth charge."
Read more about Mrs Cooke's wartime experiences on WW2 People's War.
Roger Duddridge, RBL county chairman in Somerset, told the BBC Mrs Cooke was "a beautiful person" whose death had "shaken us all".
"She was such a giver of life, anyone that was in distress or that needed help, she would give money to," he said.
Politicians have expressed concerns about the case. Conservative MP for Filton and Bradley Stoke Jack Lopresti, who presented Mrs Cooke with an award last year, said he was troubled by the level of calls and letters she had received. The Army veteran said he would write to the police and crime commissioner about the case.
And Kerry McCarthy, Labour MP for Bristol East, said she would be contacting the Charities Commission.
"I will certainly do all I can to follow up on reports that Olive felt besieged by begging letters and calls from charities, to which she had been so generous in the past," she wrote on Facebook.
"I will speak to the Charities Commission about this. I will also be contacting the lord mayor and others about what we can do to commemorate Olive's lifelong work."
Fundraising Standards Board chief executive Alistair Mclean told the BBC that people who did not wish to be contacted by charities could sign up for the Telephone Preference Service and the Mail Preference Service - or get their families to do so on their behalf. He said while charities had to raise funds, "no-one should ever feel under pressure to give".
"This is an incredibly sad story and our hearts go out to the family concerned," he said.
The Institute of Fundraising (IoF) Standards Committee later said it would bring together representatives from across the charity sector to review the case.
Peter Lewis, chief executive of the IoF, said: "Fundraisers know that it is absolutely critical to maintain public trust and confidence in charities.
"An important part of this is to fundraise in the right way and to the highest standards.
"[We] will review any learning following Mrs Cooke's sad death to make sure that our rules and guidance for fundraisers are as robust as they can be."


Recruitment is under way for the 35 staff needed at the new radiotherapy unit at Altnagelvin hospital.

The health minister has confirmed that Â£1.5m has now been made available. The jobs will be advertised shortly.
The new Londonderry hospital unit is on schedule to open in the autumn.  It will treat over 1,000 patients from Northern Ireland and almost 400 from the Republic of Ireland.
Simon Hamilton said the jobs would be specialised and highly skilled.
"The commencement of the recruitment process for these posts is a key milestone on the critical path to the centre's opening," he said.
"These highly skilled staff will have a central role in providing the expertise to enable us to provide safe, sustainable and high quality radiotherapy services at the Altnagelvin Hospital.
"It will allow patients to be able to get the highest quality, complex radiotherapy treatments, without facing lengthy journeys."


Families who have been affected by the baby ashes scandal at Mortonhall Crematorium will be offered settlements of up to £4,000 by the City of Edinburgh Council.

The local authority has decided on the proposed settlement scheme with solicitors representing families.
It provides for payments of between £1,000 and £4,000, plus legal expenses.
The scandal involved families whose children's remains were disposed of without their knowledge.
It first emerged at Mortonhall Crematorium in Edinburgh where more than 250 families were believed to have been affected.
Staff at the crematorium buried baby ashes in secret and parents were told there were no ashes left when young babies were cremated.
The practice at the crematorium is thought to have been in place from its opening in 1967 until a change of management in 2011.
The Mortonhall Settlement report which outlines the compensation scheme will go before the council on 5 February.
Thompsons Solicitors, which represents 129 clients, helped develop the scheme.
The offer needs the approval of councillors.
Chief executive of the City of Edinburgh Council, Sue Bruce, said: "The events of the past two years have understandably been distressing for families affected by the events at Mortonhall Crematorium.
"The council is taking forward all the recommendations made by Dame Elish Angiolini in her report, and will ensure nothing like this happens ever again."
Meanwhile, draft designs for permanent Mortonhall memorials have been revealed.
Two memorials are being proposed after consultation with parents.
One will be within the grounds of Mortonhall Crematorium and the other will be at a location still to be identified in the city.
The Meadows and the Botanic Gardens are among the locations being considered.
Some families had strongly expressed that they did not wish to return to Mortonhall.
Parents will decide which designs are chosen with the aim to have the memorials completed by the autumn.
Patrick McGuire, from Thompsons Solicitors, said: "In addition to the grief they face over the loss of their children the families also have to bear the deep upset caused by practices at the crematorium.
"Despite this they have shown remarkable courage and resolve to make the Scottish public aware about what had gone on."
He added: "As a group the Mortonhall parents have displayed great solidarity and compassion to each other and it is largely through their efforts that we now have wider investigations into events at crematoria throughout Scotland.
"The Mortonhall families, through their tenacity and decency, have brought us to where we are today.
"In doing so they have ensured that in the future no other families will have to suffer distress due to unacceptable practices at our crematoria."


A Shakespeare street performer chased armed raiders through the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon after they had robbed a jewellers.

Staff inside Christopher Poel jewellers watched as three men, two armed with sledgehammers and one with a crowbar, smashed windows and stole watches.
They fled when shopkeepers threw chairs at them, with "Shakespeare's ghost" performer John Jarvis in pursuit.
He said he brought one man to the floor but the trio eventually escaped.
The robbery happened at about 11:15 BST in Meer Street.
More updates on this and other stories in Coventry and Warwickshire
Shop owner Christopher Poel said: "Apparently there were three men, two with sledge hammers and one with a crowbar. They were attacking the window in unison. They badly damaged the glass.
"They got a number of high-value watches but I don't know how many yet.
"We're talking tens of thousands of pounds. Luckily everyone was inside, they only attacked from the outside. There are a couple of staff here and they're really shaken. It's the shock of it."
Mr Jarvis, who dresses in a white costume for his street performance in the town, said he saw three lads "whack" the shop's window "grab a few bits" then run and he gave chase.
"One of them was swinging a crowbar - I took a whack at him, because I don't like having a crowbar swung at me," he said.
"He went down there. They carried on running."
He said a "young lad" then also gave chase and Mr Jarvis carried on in case anything happened to him.
"But I ran out of steam and so did the boy and we came back."
Mr Poel said he was grateful to fellow shopkeepers who threw the chairs to try to foil the robbery.
Warwickshire Police, which deployed the force helicopter, said two men had been arrested.


When workers at the Seachill fish factory in Grimsby first heard about George Osborne's National Living Wage they were very happy.

"I thought it was great, fantastic," says Tom, one of the 450 or so full-time workers who work shifts preparing and packaging chilled fish destined for the supermarket shelves.
Tom is not his real name. He's too scared of revealing his true identity for fear of losing his job.
His employer is about to impose new terms and conditions and the workers aren't happy.
"The workforce are up in arms about it. Everybody is really really annoyed with the company the way they've done things... we feel as though they're robbing us," he says.
On 1 April, the government increased the minimum wage from £6.70 to £7.20 an hour for workers aged 25 and over.
Seachill relies on overtime to keep its conveyor belts running.  It's a requirement written into staff contracts.
On top of a 40-hour week, Tom says workers can end up doing another 20 hours, especially when there's a big order to complete.
His employer wants to increase the basic rate of pay to £7.35 an hour but cut overtime payments..
Tom reckons he will earn up to £80 a month less than he was expecting.
Workers have to decide whether to accept the new contracts or risk losing their jobs.
"Even with the new rate they've offered us at £7.35 an hour, at time and a quarter, it's less than what they would've been paying us at £7.20 an hour and time and a half and double time.
"We are losing out big style," he says.
The company is part of the Icelandic Group. It made more than £8m in profit last year. In a statement, it says its changes are designed to make it more efficient and says most workers will be better off.
Tom disagrees and says he's 100% certain the changes are being made to help offset the costs of the new National Living Wage.
"It's not on. As far as all of us are concerned, it's not on. How can they say in one breath that the firm is doing really well, and then expect us to take a pay cut?"
Seachill is not the only company that's been reviewing its pay arrangements.
At Pennine Foods in Sheffield, owned by the huge food group, 2 Sisters, workers have voted for strike action after the company announced it would cut Sunday and bank holiday pay as part of plans to standardise payments to staff.
Elsewhere, staff benefits are also being trimmed. At Caffe Nero, workers are no longer entitled to a free panini whilst staff at Eat will no longer have paid-for breaks.
In a recent parliamentary debate on the issue, both companies along with some other household names were in the firing line from MPs; DIY chain B&Q came in for particular criticism.
"Companies such as B&Q use the introduction of the national living wage to 'reform their pay and reward structures', as they put it. That is a euphemism for cutting staff pay," said Joan Ryan, Labour MP for Enfield North.
"I have found disturbing and, quite frankly, shameful the way in which some large employers in the service sector have used the introduction of a living wage as an excuse to cut basic work entitlements," added Julie Cooper, Labour MP for Burnley and Padiham.
More than 130,000 people signed a petition against B&Q's planned cuts to employee benefits. It announced in February that it would be cutting Sunday pay and reducing bank holiday pay and bonuses for some staff, although it raised its basic pay to £7.66 an hour in April.
B&Q said many workers would be better off or unaffected by its changes but that it had now extended compensation to staff who would lose out.
Caffe Nero said its workers would still get a discount for food. Eat said all employees would be compensated through a pay rate above the current national living wage.
In the last year, Morrisons, Tesco and Waitrose have also altered payments but they all insisted that it wasn't anything to do with the introduction of the national living wage.
Some aren't surprised that employers are having to make changes.
"Increasing the national living wage was the right thing to do but no-one can doubt that there will have to be adjustments," says Simon Walker, the boss of the Institute of Directors.
"Companies have to be profitable so they are going to have to make adjustments and cut backs if they have to pay higher wages in order to break even.
"They also face a number of other cost increases including the apprenticeship levy and auto enrolment for pensions."
The chancellor cut corporation tax to help ease the burden on employers. He's called on companies to follow the spirit of the law.
The owners of Seachill say it has a very loyal, long serving workforce and ensuring that they were fairly rewarded, whilst continuing to provide a first class service to its customers, is a priority.
But for Tom and many of his colleagues, the cuts to overtime are proving hard to swallow.


A newly described relative ofTyrannosaurus rexis the largest known feathered animal - living or extinct.

The feathered meat-eating dinosaur lived about 125 million years ago and is estimated to have weighed a whopping 1,400kg as an adult.
The new species, known asYutyrannus, has been identified from three fossils found in north-eastern China.
The finds, detailed in Nature journal, challenge current theories about the evolution ofT.rexand its relations.
This group of dinosaurs is known as the Tyrannosauroids.
Tyrannosaurus rexand its gigantic cousins lived until around 65 million years ago - when a huge asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs - but most of their earlier relatives are thought to have been much smaller.
However, Xing Xu and colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing have now described three specimens ofYutyrannus, which represents an early example of the Tyrannosauroid form.
The fossils include the one-and-a-half-tonne adult and also two juvenile specimens that would have tipped the scales at about half a tonne.
The dinosaur, whose name translates as "beautiful feathered tyrant", shares some features with later tyrannosaurs likeT.rex, but has three functional fingers (where T. rex had two) and a foot typical of other early tyrannosaur relatives.
Perhaps the most notable discovery, however, is the creature's extensive plumage, which provides direct evidence for the existence of giant feathered dinosaurs.
The scientists think the long, filament-like feathers would have acted as insulation, but they cannot rule out the possibility that they were also used for display in mating or fighting rituals.


One of 14 men allegedly tortured during internment in Northern Ireland was bitten by a soldier's dog, the High Court heard today.

The court also heard school caretaker Sean McKenna had to drink from the animal's dish.
He was slammed into concrete posts and made to go barefoot after being taken from his Newry home in August 1971, it was claimed.
Lawyers for his daughter argued the interrogation techniques "ruined" him.
It was claimed the experiences worsened a heart condition that led to his death four years later at the age of 45.
Mary McKenna is taking legal action along with other surviving members of the so-called Hooded Men in a bid to secure an independent and human rights-compliant investigation into their treatment.
Proceedings have been issued against the chief constable, secretary of state and the Department of Justice over alleged failures to properly probe and order a full inquiry.
Five techniques were said to have been used against the men while they were held without trial:
Counsel for the group claim they were tortured using methods sanctioned by the British state.
Former prime minister Edward Heath was allegedly involved in the decision making process, while Stormont's prime minister at the time, Brian Faulkner, was said to have been personally briefed on the deployment of the methods.
Ms McKenna's legal representatives argued that her case also raises a potential breach of Article 2 right to life under European law.
Ms McKenna stressed that no one should have been subjected to the alleged torture, but described her father as particularly vulnerable due to his heart condition.
His internment ended in May 1972, when he was released on medical grounds to enter a psychiatric hospital.
But the impact of being subjected to the five techniques caused his psychiatric breakdown, according to his daughter.
"My father had been a great man before he had been interned, but that man never returned to us," she stated.
"He had been ruined by his experiences."
The court heard that a doctor who examined Mr McKenna two and a half years after he was subjected to the interrogation techniques described him as tense, anxious and sobbing.
He complained of serious psychiatric symptoms, including contemplation of suicide.
In a further report following a second examination in June 1975, the medical expert concluded that Mr McKenna's health had gone downhill.
He was by then suffering from severe chest pains and hypertension.
With Mr McKenna assessed as already having angina before his internment, the doctor said it would be hard to show it was wise to proceed with the techniques, or that the treatment did not worsen his condition.
His other psychiatric symptoms were also linked to the deep interrogation procedures.
Mr McKenna died of a fatal heart attack in June 1975.
The medical evidence, Ms McKenna's barrister submitted, backs allegations that the alleged torture was responsible for death as well as psychiatric injuries.
However the barrister for the government and chief constable, countered that the 1998 Human Rights Act has no retrospective powers.
"The obstacle that poses for the applicants is profound," he told Mr Justice Maguire.
Allegedly misleading medical evidence and the disclosure of a memo from Home Secretary Merlyn Rees in 1977 giving his view that the decision to deploy torture methods was taken at ministerial level, is not enough get over that hurdle, the barrister argued.
The court also heard civil actions brought against the state by all 14 men were settled in the 1970s, with compensation paid out.
The case continues.


Scientists have found a novel way to get images through "scattering" materials such as frosted glass or skin, and even to "see around corners".

Much research in recent years has focused on correcting for scattering, mostly for medical applications.
But the new trick,
          reported in Nature Photonics
, is quick, simple and uses natural light rather than lasers.
It uses what is called a spatial light modulator to "undo" the scattering that makes objects opaque or non-reflecting.
A camera that can "see around corners"
          garnered much attention in 2010
, using a series of timed laser pulses to illuminate a scene and working out what is around a corner from the timing of the reflections.
The prototype device was just one of a great many research efforts trying to crack the problem of scattering.
But for some applications, the "time-of-flight" approach that the laser-based camera uses is not sufficient.
"If you want to look to see an embryo developing inside an egg but the eggshell scatters everything, or you want to look through the skin, scattering is the main enemy there, and time-of-flight is not a good solution," explained senior author of the study Prof Yaron Silberberg.
For those kinds of problems, Prof Silberberg and his colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have pushed the limits of what spatial light modulators (SLMs) can do.
SLMs modify what is known as the phase of an incoming light beam. Like a series of waves on the ocean that run over rocks or surfers, the waves in light can be slowed down or redirected when they hit scattering materials.
SLMs are made up of an array of pixels that can correct for this by selectively slowing down some parts of the beam and allowing others to pass untouched - when an electric field is applied to a pixel, it changes the speed at which light passes through it.
Prof Silberberg and his team first set up their SLM by shining light from a normal lamp through a highly scattering plastic film and allowing a computer to finely tune the SLM until they could see a clear image of the lamp through the film.
Keeping the SLM set this way, they were then able to obtain clear images of other objects through the film - the SLM effectively turns the film back into a clear sheet.
"What we have shown is that you don't need lasers - everybody else was doing this with lasers, and we showed you can do it with incoherent light from a lamp or the Sun - natural light," Prof Silberberg told BBC News.
But the team then realised that the same approach can work in reflection - that is, not passing through a scattering material but bouncing off of it, such as the case of light bouncing off a wall at a corner.
They then showed the procedure works just as well when the light from an object bounces off a piece of paper; the SLM could "learn" how to undo the paper's scattering effect, making it a nearly perfect reflector.
As Prof Silberberg puts it: "You can take a piece of wall and effectively turn it into a mirror, and this is the part that makes everybody raise an eyebrow."
However, he said that the primary use for the technique will be in biological and medical studies - especially tackling the highly scattering white brain matter in neurological imaging - rather than the business of seeing through thin materials or around corners.
"I don't want to say that it solves the problems of secret organisations and Peeping Toms and so on, that's not going to be so simple. But the principle is there.
"We have not started to tackle these things... but I see how much interest this raises and think maybe we should."


SDLP leader Alasdair McDonnell has said if Labour leader Ed Miliband becomes the next prime minister "it will be with our support, on our terms, that he takes power".

He said: "With significant Tory and UKIP power blocks in the next parliament, we will be the left-of-centre backbone of a Labour administration.
"Along with the SNP and Plaid Cymru, (we) will ensure that the next Labour government remains true to its values."
Dr McDonnell said that, while his party had always worked closely with Labour, the SDLP was not tied to any other party.
He said its MPs would be elected on their own manifesto.
"During the last Labour government, we were unwavering in opposition to the Iraq War," he said.
"Our MPs voted against the cut in the 10p tax rate. We refused to accept 42 day detention.
"These were all issues that Labour supported."
The SDLP leader added that his party would "categorically refuse" to support David Cameron and the Conservative Party.


An on-the-run killer who was sprung from custody by two armed men during a hospital visit was taken there by taxi, the BBC understands.

Convicted murderer Shaun Walmsley, 28, was getting into the cab with prison officers at the time of the escape.
The getaway car had lain in wait in a road near Liverpool's Aintree University Hospital, police said.
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson called for an "immediate inquiry" into the escape.
Walmsley, described as "highly dangerous", is one of four men serving life sentences for the "vicious and savage" stabbing of Anthony Duffy in 2014.
Mr Anderson said he was "angry and incredibly shocked" by the "serious security breach" and is waiting for a full briefing into what happened.
Deputy General Secretary of the Prison Officers' Association (POA), Andy Darken, said it is "fairly common" for non-Category A prisoners to be moved in taxis after a risk assessment is done to ensure this is safe.
"There's not a lot of difference if they are held up by armed gunmen in a secure van or a taxi", he said.
Two men, armed with a gun and a knife and with their faces covered, threatened the guards and demanded they release Walmsley on Tuesday.
Mark Fairhurst, who sits on the POA national executive and is based at HMP Liverpool where Walmsley was being held, said the incident "put our officers' lives - and that of the taxi driver - at risk."
He questioned why Walmsley, "a man convicted of murder facing a 30-year sentence and who had gangland connections" was not treated as a Category A prisoner.
He said the prison recognised Walmsley was "more dangerous than others" so "put a third prison officer into the escort" but they "had no deterrent capability - just extendable batons".
He said one of the officers had a gun put to his head and was "very shaken", while another had a knife held to his throat.
All three were threatened with CS gas.
He said the officers did the right thing in releasing the handcuffs and then calling police.
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman declined to comment on the specifics of the case.
"We are working closely with the police and are urgently investigating the matter," she said.
Officers believe a gold-coloured Volvo with registration number MW02 XHE had been parked on Adlam Crescent, Fazakerley, from around 12:00 GMT before travelling to and parking at Aintree University Hospital from about 13:30.
The car was found in Adlam Crescent at 20:00 on Tuesday and is being examined by officers.


Shares in Time Warner, the company behind HBO, CNN and Warner Bros, have raced ahead for a second day on fresh reports of a tie-up with AT&T.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that AT&T could announce this weekend a deal to buy Time Warner.
On Thursday, Bloomberg reported that the telecoms and entertainment giants had discussed business strategies, including a possible takeover.
With Time Warner worth $73bn (Â£60bn), it would be the biggest this year.
Time Warner shares closed up almost 8% to a near 15-year high, having gained about 5% on Thursday. AT&T shares lost 3%.
Other media company shares, including Discovery, AMC, Netflix and CBS, rose as investors speculated that a deal could spark a fresh wave of takeovers and mergers among media and technology companies.
AT&T, which has a market value of about $238bn, has already made moves to turn itself into a media powerhouse, buying satellite TV provider DirecTV last year for $48.5bn.
Time Warner chief executive Jeff Bewkes has, however, resisted selling in the past. The company rejected an $80bn offer from Twenty-First Century Fox Inc in 2014. Last night, Fox reportedly ruled itself of any plans to renew its interest in Time Warner.
The WSJ said that any deal by AT&T to buy Time Warner was likely to be paid via a mixture of shares and cash.
A deal would give AT&T access to a major producer of content as it seeks to diversify away from its core telecoms business. Rival Verizon is currently in negotiations to buy Yahoo and has already bought AOL, owner of Huffington Post.
Some analysts, however, question whether AT&T needs to mount a complete takeover of Time Warner.
Cowen and Co analyst Doug Creutz said: "What does it get them that they can't get by licensing Time Warner content and at a much cheaper price than buying the whole company?"
He said it was unclear what savings could be gained "from stapling distribution and content together. It's been tried. It never works".


Farnborough International Airshow is to receive a loan of £4.5m from Hampshire County Council towards building permanent facilities for the event.

Extra revenue is expected to be made by holding events all year round through conferences and exhibitions.
Council leader Roy Perry said it was "high time" permanent buildings were built, which could go up by 2018.
The decision was made at the authority's policy and resources decision meeting earlier.
Mr Perry said the aerospace and defence sectors were worth £1.5bn each year to Hampshire and employed 16,500 people.
"The airshow is reported to bring in £35m to the local economy.
"The county would be in a position to showcase the UK aerospace industry to global markets - and benefit from the additional events which could be hosted all year round, as a result of having a permanent conference and exhibition facility in Hampshire," he said.
In 2014 about £22bn of UK orders were announced at the airshow.
Its organisers are aiming to raise £29m towards the cost of developing new facilities.
A council report recommends its loan be repaid by 2028.


Nicola Sturgeon has dismissed talk of a snap election at Holyrood to break the deadlock over a second independence referendum.

The first minister told BBC Scotland she would set out her next steps to the Scottish Parliament after Easter.
Ms Sturgeon has already said she does not intend to take the issue of a second vote on independence to court.
It follows the UK government's rejection of SNP plans to hold a referendum before Spring 2019.
Prime Minister Theresa May has argued that the focus of Brexit negotiations should be on getting the best deal for the whole of the UK.
Ms Sturgeon wants a referendum to take place between autumn 2018 and spring 2019.
She said: "I'm absolutely clear that the position of Theresa May, I just don't think is politically sustainable.
"If the Scottish Parliament is of the position, as it is because it has voted in this way, that Scotland should be given a choice - not now, but when the time is right, when there is clarity about Brexit and obviously when there is clarity also about independence - that we should have a choice about our future.
"I will set out, having written to Theresa May on the back of the Scottish Parliamentary vote, I've said sometime after the Easter recess, I've said I will set out what I consider the next steps to be, but I will set that out to parliament.
Responding to the possibility of court action or a snap election, Ms Sturgeon added: "These are not the kinds of things I am thinking of. I've got a responsibility to lead the country.
"I was elected as first minister less than a year ago. I've got a responsibility to lead this country.
"We are very focused on getting growth in our economy and transforming education. These are things that continue to be my priorities - these sort of scenarios that are put to me are not the ones I am thinking [of], but I do have an idea of how I progress the will of parliament."
The Scottish Conservatives said the first minister was "distracted" by the issue of a new referendum.
A party spokesman said: "Never mind a snap election, Nicola Sturgeon needs to go further and take the threat of an unwanted second referendum off the table.
"If the first minister's priority is really the economy and education, then we need to see some clear action on both fronts.
"While she has been distracted by constitutional wrangling, GDP figures have shown that Scotland is halfway to a recession while education reforms have been kicked into the long grass."
Scottish Labour also called for talk of another referendum to end.
The party's leader, Kezia Dugdale said: "Scotland is divided enough, we don't need, and don't want, another referendum on independence.
"Holding another referendum on leaving the UK is the wrong thing to do for Scotland's economy, especially when there is so much economic uncertainty from the Tories' reckless plans for a hard Brexit.
"The Labour Party I lead will never support independence and the unprecedented levels of austerity it would mean for our public services. We believe that together we're stronger."


A sequel to Nelson Mandela's 1995 autobiography Long Walk to Freedom will be published next year.

The book will be based on a hand-written draft and completed by Mr Mandela's former advisers.
His widow, Graca Machel, said he began work on the manuscript in 1998, towards the end of his five-year presidential term.
Publishers Pan Macmillan said the book would be "candid and clear-eyed about the difficulties he faced in office".
Ms Machel said Mr Mandela saw it as "a natural progression" from Long Walk to Freedom which covered his early years, his political struggle against South Africa's apartheid regime, and the 27 years he spent in prison.
It went on to become one of the best-selling political memoirs of all time
Editorial director Georgina Morley said the new book, based on material from the Nelson Mandela Foundation's archives, would "remind readers everywhere what he stood for".
An exact publication date was not announced.
He was released from prison in 1990 and went on to win the presidency in South Africa's first all-race election in 1994.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize, along with former South African President Frederik W de Klerk, in 1993 for negotiating the end of white-minority rule.
Mr Mandela stepped down in 1999 to concentrate on charity work.
Literary agent Jonny Geller said the book would be an important historical document.
"A lot of it is a political memoir about being president, his relationships with the army, with the unions and with the tribes.  What's really interesting is that he can't help but talk about leadership and talk about the most important thing which is the transition from freedom to power.
"This will be a very inspiring book because it's actually about what you do when you actually have power."


Campaigners against the expansion of Gatwick Airport have expressed relief that a second runway will not be built.

Despite intense lobbying, rival Heathrow was chosen as the site of a new runway to boost airport capacity.
Protesters in Ifield, West Sussex, said ministers had listened to the facts and that Gatwick's proposals were "flawed".
However, the airport's chief executive Stewart Wingate said it was disappointed with the decision, which was "not the right answer for Britain".
More news from Sussex
"Gatwick has put forward a credible financeable and deliverable plan for expansion," he said.
"It is a plan that can guarantee growth and guarantee certainty for Britain.
"Our message today is that Gatwick stands ready to proceed when the time comes."
Sally Pavey, chairwoman of the campaign group, Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions (CAGNE), said local residents would be monitoring the reaction of the airport's owners.
"From the point of view of the residents of Sussex, Surrey and Kent, we are very much relieved, but we wouldn't wish it upon anybody.
"We are delighted they have listened to the facts, the facts spoke loud and clear that Gatwick's proposals were flawed," she said.
Ms Pavey said: "It's the wrong side of London and the Achilles heel has always been that Gatwick sits on one railway line and one road and the railway line cannot be expanded.
"So the congestion is there and it wouldn't have coped with not only the normal growth but also growth in passengers."
Peter Barclay, who has lived in the Surrey village of Charlwood for 40 years, added that he feared the threat of a second runway would never go away.
The extra noise, air pollution and the impact on the region's infrastructure would all cause huge problems, he said.
Brendon Sewill, chairman of The Gatwick Area Conservation Campaign (GACC) said campaigners would "remain on guard against any attempt to revert to Gatwick".


Pupils at a Yorkshire academy could be banned from trips if parents post negative comments about the school on social media.

In a letter, Morley Academy said "personal or insulting comments" by pupils, parents and carers will result in the "full withdrawal of privileges".
One unnamed parent said it was "worse than being in the North Korean army."
Head teacher Leanne Griffiths said parents and carers were being asked to model appropriate behaviour.
Another parent, who did not want to be named, said social media was "freedom of speech".
She added: "What are we teaching our children if you can't speak out and say what you feel?"
Ms Griffiths said that students were not being "punished", but they would not be able to take part in visits outside of the school until any issues had been resolved.
She said where negative comments had been made online, then there had been a "breakdown in rapport" between parents and the school.
She added: "We would deem that breakdown in rapport to represent a significant risk and we would not want to put the student, or any other student or ourselves, in a vulnerable position until we re-establish that rapport."
Ms Griffiths said there had been "too many examples of inaccurate and deeply offensive comments" made on social media and the academy is working with police to stop this.


Ireland internationals Stuart Poynter and Barry McCarthy have both signed new two-year deals with Durham.

Wicketkeeper Poynter, 25, joined from Warwickshire in 2014 after starting his career at Middlesex and made his first-class debut for the county this summer.
Bowler McCarthy, 24, took 20 first-class wickets this season, including his first five-wicket haul in a game against Lancashire in May.
Durham finished fourth in County Championship Division One this season.


Syria's army has suspended combat operations in eastern Aleppo, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says.

The move is to allow for the evacuation of civilians trapped in the battle zone. Mr Lavrov said some 8,000 people would be taken out.
Government forces have retaken 75% of east Aleppo in recent weeks - areas rebels had controlled for four years.
The US welcomed the "indication that something positive could happen but we're going to have to wait and see.
"Our approach to the situation has been to listen carefully to what the Russians say, but scrutinise their actions," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
Mr Lavrov said on the sidelines of a European foreign ministers meeting in Germany: "I can tell you that today, combat operations by the Syrian army have been halted in eastern Aleppo because there is a large operation under way to evacuate civilians."
He also said Russian and US military experts would meet in Geneva on Saturday to discuss ways of bringing an end to the violence in Aleppo.
A US state department spokeswoman confirmed Mr Lavrov had spoken to John Kerry and both had agreed to discuss a ceasefire that allows for the delivery of aid and the departure of civilians, but the "specific nature" of Saturday's technical talks "are still to be worked out".
Russia's announcement comes at a time when tens of thousands of civilians have already been fleeing the fighting on their own, using whatever route they can. We saw a tide of people scrambling through a hole smashed through a wall.
News that the Syrian military has suspended operations to allow for a more orderly evacuation would be good news for tens of thousands of people still trapped inside rebel-held districts.
But while fighting appears to have eased, there's no sign on the ground that it's completely stopped. And pauses only succeed if they're agreed by all sides and there's no sign of that yet.
This week rebel fighters also called for a truce to allow civilians to leave the battlefield. But both sides suspect the other will use any pause to regroup for another round of fighting.
Earlier, a local council leader in Aleppo warned that "150,000 people are condemned to death" in the city.
Brita Haji Hassan, during a visit to UN officials in Geneva, said 800 people had been killed and up to 3,500 injured in the city in the past four weeks.
"We demand a safe passage for civilians to leave and an end to the killing, bombing and bloodbath," he said.
Late on Wednesday, 148 mostly disabled and elderly civilians were evacuated from a former old people's home in the Old City, hours after the area fell to government forces.
They were rescued in a joint operation by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Many had injuries or conditions which left them unable to move, and had been trapped in the home for days.
Eleven others had died before they could be reached, either caught in the crossfire or because of a shortage of medicine, officials said.
The chairman of the UN's humanitarian taskforce for Syria, Jan Egeland, praised the Red Cross operation as "heroic" but said evacuations should not "happen like that". He instead called for the establishment of humanitarian corridors.
He told reporters in Geneva that he believed Russia and the US - which back opposing sides in the civil war - were still "poles apart" on agreeing terms.
The UN's envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, told reporters in New York on Thursday that he was planning to meet members of US President-elect Donald Trump's team, though he did not say when.
Aleppo was once Syria's largest city and its commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011.
It has been divided in roughly two since mid-2012. But in the past year, Syrian troops have broken the deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes, reinstating a siege in early September.
