Facebook has opened up its Workplace platform, which lets companies set up their own internal version of the social network, to all businesses.

The app looks similar to Facebook, with features such as live video streaming and messaging, but is kept completely separate from users' personal profiles.
It is designed to replace other business tools such as email.
One analyst said the platform would pose a challenge to a broad range of rival services.
It will enter the same market as services such as Yammer - Microsoft's self-contained social network that businesses can use internally - and Slack - a collaborative messaging tool.
"It's not just about building a self-contained social network for businesses," said Chris Green of the Lewis consultancy.
"It lets them compete with a variety of different services - such as Google Cloud's file sharing and Microsoft's collaborative document editing.
"It's going to hit a number of environments with one integrated product."
The social network has been testing Workplace, previously known as Facebook at Work, for two years and said that more than 1,000 businesses were already using it.
In a statement, the company said: "We've seen that just as Facebook keeps you connected to friends and family, it can do the same with co-workers. We've brought the best of Facebook to the workplace."
Food giant Danone, India's Yes Bank, the Government Technology Agency of Singapore, and Starbucks are among those that have already deployed the app.
Workplace is Facebook's first service to charge a subscription fee, a deviation from the company's usual advertising-funded model.
An employee's Workplace account is kept entirely separate from any personal Facebook profile they may use to share content outside work.
"We've seen a growth in interest in the idea of bringing a social network into the corporate environment," said Mr Green.
"The millennial workforce is important to employers, so having systems that are familiar and replicate what they use in their personal life makes sense."


Norwich City defender Russell Martin has signed a new contract to keep him with the Championship club until 2019.

The 31-year-old Scotland international has made more than 300 appearances for the Canaries since joining from Peterborough United in 2009.
Martin, promoted to the Premier League twice with Norwich, will also retain the club captaincy under new Canaries head coach Daniel Farke.
The versatile defender's new deal also contains the option of a further year.
"Russell is an idol here and it's a great decision to give him this deal. He's the skipper, and he will be my captain for this season," said Farke.
"Even when there are times when he's not playing, he's so important for the whole squad.
"All of the younger guys can learn from him about how to be a professional, how to work under pressure, how to behave. He's a smart, intelligent guy and it's a great decision for Norwich City."


The founder of a Dutch care system has travelled to Scotland to speak to health professionals and the Scottish government about his not-for-profit care company.

While many elderly and disabled people in the UK are used to visits of just 15 minutes from a carer, Buurtzorg employs qualified nurses who stay as long as they think is necessary.
"We focus on craftmanship," said the founder and director of Buurtzorg, Jos de Blok.
"If you, as a nurse, have a good education then you know how to organise your work yourself.  In a team with 10-12 nurses you can be responsible for all the patients in a neighbourhood."
There are no managers and patient satisfaction is the highest for any care organisation in the country. The costs per client are 35% less than the Dutch average. Buurtzorg has also been voted the Netherlands' best employer three years in a row.
"Before they introduced me to Buurtzorg, I was with another organisation and that was rubbish," said 83-year-old Fred de Smet, from Utrecht.
He has been receiving care from Buurtzorg nurses for several years following a stroke, heart problems and leukaemia.
"They treat me well, they take care of me. You are a human with them and they don't start saying, we only have X amount of hours or so many minutes to change my support stockings or shower me."
As well as organising social care, some of the nurses in Amsterdam run a radio show, called Radio Steunkous - which translates to "radio support stocking".
"Our motto is that everyone can be each other's support stocking," said nurse and presenter Ellie Lakerveld.
"Our goal is to provide another form of healthcare. A lot of people we visit are bound to their houses or their beds, and radio plays an important part in their lives."
Radio Steunkous runs features which might be of interest to those receiving care, mingled with classic songs from previous decades.
Buurtzorg itself recreates a system from a past era.
"This is the way I worked in the 80s," says Jos de Blok, who was a community health nurse.
"We didn't have management then. We were responsible for everything. Give trust to the nurses, they have intrinsic motivation."
Mr de Blok hopes to encourage other countries to adopt his model. He arrives in Scotland only a few days after returning from Japan, which also has a care system based on short visits.
"I understand how these systems developed through the years because it's what we had in Holland.
"But it becomes more and more difficult for nurses to do the work in a way they are satisfied. The way it's organised with many management layers makes it even worse. Then you get this vicious circle. Control becomes more. The pressure on costs becomes higher. It's not the solution."
Buurtzorg started in 2007 with four nurses but now has 9,300 nurses in 800 locations across the Netherlands.
"They make full use of the time they've got with you," said Mr de Smet. "They have time to have a coffee with you. It's very cosy and very good. I wouldn't want it any other way."


Police are warning people to be wary of letters claiming to represent a FIFA Euromillions lottery.

The PSNI  said they were "aware that people in Northern Ireland are being targeted with this type of scam letter".
"You should not be tempted to reply to any form of correspondence that you think might be a scam".
They advise people to report suspected scam to Action Fraud, the national fraud reporting centre.
Action Fraud's website shows similar "FIFA" scams were in operation in 2010, 2012 and 2014 - years in which major football competitions took place.


Two men have been charged with drugs offences linked to the seizure of £1m of cannabis in Northern Ireland.

The drugs were discovered during a PSNI investigation into international drug trafficking.
The two Chinese men with addresses in south Belfast appeared at a special court in Newtownards on Saturday.
Zhenchao Chen, 34, from Annadale flats  and Baosen Zhao, 53, of Coolfin Street were charged with importing cannabis and conspiracy to supply it.
Mr Chen was further charged with possessing drugs and cultivating cannabis at a property at Newry Road, Mullaghbawn, south Armagh, between January and April 2015.
The men made no comment during a brief court hearing and were remanded in custody.
Meanwhile, two men aged 23 and 30 who were arrested last week by detectives from Organised Crime Branch investigating the international drugs trafficking operation have been released on bail pending further police enquiries.


The Prince of Wales has tried his hand at hurling during a four-day visit to Ireland.

He and the Duchess of Cornwall enjoyed a demonstration of the ancient Irish sport at Kilkenny Castle.
Their visit to the Republic of Ireland, which followed a two-day stay in Northern Ireland, is at the request of the British government.
They later visited the Curragh Military Camp, where Irish UN peace-keeping soldiers are trained.
On Thursday morning, the Royals visited a farmers' market in Kilkenny, and they met some of the thousands of people who had lined the streets there.
They also attended a cartoon animation studio in Kilkenny, and a craft centre, before heading to County Kildare to the military camp.
The couple, who are being hosted by President Michael D Higgins, are also expected to attend a ceremony at Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin to commemorate those who lost their lives in World War One and during the Easter Rising.
The Duchess will also visit the national stud and Japanese gardens.
At Kilkenny Castle, Prince Charles met former county hurler, Henry Shefflin - or 'King Henry', as he is known by locals.
Mr Shefflin gave the Prince a little instruction on how to hit the ball, before letting him try for himself.
"He kept it low into the bottom of the net," he said. "But for the first go it was very, very good."
Mr Shefflin, who has been on the all-Ireland winning team 10 times, said the Prince may have had a good chance of being signed up if he had been in Kilkenny in his youth.
The couple left Northern Ireland on Wednesday, where Prince Charles opened a garden of remembrance for police officers killed on duty in Northern Ireland.
The Royal couple's trip began on Tuesday with a visit to the Seamus Heaney Homeplace Centre in Bellaghy, where they met members of the poet's family.


An 87-year-old woman beaten in her own home has been left "devastated" after having her wedding ring ripped from her finger, her sons said.

Eileen Blane was thrown to the floor and punched during the burglary in Stretford, Greater Manchester.
David and John Blane said "bruises and injuries mean nothing" compared to losing the ring, given to her by her late husband 63 years ago.
They said the family had received thousands of messages of support.
Granddaughter Amy Blane shared pictures of her "brave Nana" on social media - her post has now been shared more than 83,000 times.
John Blane said: "Most people have been saying how despicable this character must be and how they really hope they do get caught.
"Everyone has a nana, everyone's got a mum who may be living alone and it could be anybody."
Mrs Blane managed to escape and alert neighbours while her attackers searched upstairs in Friday's burglary.
She suffered three cracked ribs and a damaged vertebrae and it is not known when she will be able to go home, her family said.
A CCTV company has installed cameras in her house for free so she will feel safe upon her return from hospital.
David Blane said she was most devastated to be without the ring given to her by her husband, who died 13 years ago.
"It's the only connection she has with my dad," he said.
His brother appealed for his mother's attacker to return the gold wedding band.
He said: "Even if you put the ring in an envelope and give it to us anonymously, just give it us back and that will take away most of the pain away for my mum."
Det Ch Insp Paul Parker of Greater Manchester Police said it was a "disgusting and intrusive" attack.
He urged witnesses to come forward.


Hull College has been criticised over its financial management after racking up a £10m budget deficit.

A report by the Further Education Commissioner revealed the debt had been accumulated since 2012 and a further £1m loss was expected this year.
It said there were "concerns at all levels of the organisation" and its financial health had "fallen from good in 2012/13 to inadequate in 2015/16".
The college said it was working to make improvements.
Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills Robert Halfon wrote to the college to say there was concern "that the college has had significant failures in financial management. Leadership and governance needs to improve in this respect".
The FE Commissioner said the college, which has three main centres, in Hull, Goole and Harrogate, lacked "strategic vision and strong leadership", which was "frustrating and demotivating for staff".
The report also stated the college had "placed a strain on its cash resources" and needed "a significant level" of financial help from the government.
"The college's financial strategy has largely been to make year-on-year cuts to staffing levels and to secure capital receipts from asset sales.
"Despite a number of years of staff cuts... the college's staff costs are high, at around 78% of income for 2015/16 and a forecast 72% for 2016/17. (As a comparator, the Area Review benchmark is 60% to 65%).
"This level of cost is unaffordable for the college," it said.
In a statement, Hull College said: "The corporation and leadership team is working with the FE commissioner to put in place a comprehensive and effective action plan to secure the necessary improvement while developing a new transformational strategic plan with staff and key stakeholders focused on providing technical education and training which is highly responsive to employer needs locally, regionally and nationally."


A partnership of UK universities is launching an online project, challenging US universities that have dominated this emerging market.

They will aim to give the public access to higher education courses via computers, tablets or smartphones.
The partnership will include the Open University, King's College London, Bristol, Exeter, Warwick, East Anglia, Leeds, Lancaster, Southampton, Cardiff, Birmingham and St Andrews.
Courses will be offered from next year.
This could "revolutionise conventional models of formal education", says Universities Minister David Willetts.
The project will represent the biggest UK response to rapidly growing online universities - with these universities planning to offer courses through a shared online platform.
There are usually no formal entry requirements for students on such courses but individual universities will have to decide how students can be examined and accredited.
Martin Bean, the Open University's vice-chancellor, said that the arrival of online courses meant that UK universities could either "stick their heads in the sand" or rise to the international challenge.
The vice-chancellor said higher education had to face up to the impact of the internet on delivering courses.
"What the web has taught us is that you can take nothing for granted - those who sit back and hope it goes away will lose," he said.
University of Southampton vice-chancellor Don Nutbeam said joining this project would help to build the university as a "global brand".
He anticipates that his university will offer about 15 to 20 self-contained modules, which could be the "stepping stones" for students to enter other courses.
"We want to be in at the foundation - we want to be well positioned," he said.
A new company called FutureLearn is being set up to run this online project, which will be majority-owned by the Open University.
This year has seen intense interest among universities in the United States over the growth of online university platforms.
These have become known as Massive Open Online Courses - or MOOCs.
Online joint projects, offered by some of the world's leading universities, including Harvard, Stanford and MIT, have attracted registrations from millions of students.
They have raised the prospect of reaching many more students at a much lower cost. Their courses have used the internet to deliver video and provide interactive exercises and automated testing.
The announcement from the FutureLearn project sees the first major challenge from the UK, headed by the Open University, which has pioneered distance learning.
This comes a day after the UK's universities admissions service reported a 54,000 drop in students starting courses this autumn, in the first year of higher tuition fees in England.
From next year, the universities involved in the UK project will begin to offer courses on the FutureLearn online platform.
These universities will be responsible for the content, quality, accreditation and cost of courses offered online.
There will also be social networking-style communities for students.
Materials will be designed for portable devices, such as iPads or mobile phones.
In the US, in these early stages of development, courses have been offered free - but there have been charges introduced where there are certificates and invigilated exams.
There are also expectations that high levels of web traffic will be used for advertising or links to other services.
"The big frontier" for online universities, says Mr Bean, is how to test and award credits for such large numbers of students.
And when universities are charging high levels of tuition fees for their campus-based students, this raises questions about how this will be balanced against awarding online degrees for much less.
But Prof Nutbeam says that the impact of online courses could change the expectations of students on campus. Will students still want to sit through traditional lectures rather than using recordings?
"The UK must be at the forefront of developments in educational technology. Massive Open Online Courses present an opportunity for us to widen access to, and meet the global demand for, higher education. This is growing rapidly in emerging economies like Brazil, India and China," said Mr Willetts.
"New online delivery tools will also create incredible opportunities for UK entrepreneurs to reach world markets."


The "other-worldly scenes" of artist Roger Dean, best known for his work with the rock band Yes, have been used for stamps on the Isle of Man.

The 71-year-old from Kent, who also created album covers for Asia and Uriah Heep, is the subject of an exhibition at the Manx Museum in Douglas.
Dean said he liked the juxtaposition between post being delivered and his "inaccessible" worlds.
Isle of Man Post said he had "inspired generations to become artists".
The Islands and Bridges collection includes a painting inspired by the Isle of Man, titled Meeting Place, which has been produced exclusively for the stamp issue.
The other images are taken from Uriah Heep, Blind Owl and Yes albums, including an image from 1973's Tales of Topographic Oceans.
The artist, who has sold more than 60 million copies of his images worldwide, said his paintings were "landscapes that are mostly inaccessible".
"Stamps are the means of paying for the passage of messages from place to place; I love the purposefulness of that," he said.
He added that in creating Meeting Place, he had been inspired by the "unique history and landscape" of the Isle of Man, which he said was "a gem".
"It is an island between two countries both with an ancient history, but the Isle of Man has retained its own identity, myths and history.
"It is a small island, but within its shores are varied landscapes of great beauty."
Former Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman said Dean was a "very special artist", adding that there was "always something new to discover in his work".


Leeds Rhinos forward Brad Singleton has been banned for six matches and fined £300 after pleading guilty to striking an opponent with his elbow.

The 24-year-old was placed on report by the referee after a tackle on Greg Bird in Friday's 46-10 win over Catalans Dragons at Headingley.
Bird required seven stitches in a wound at the back of his head.
Singleton will not be available for the Rhinos until the game against Huddersfield Giants on 27 April.
In other disciplinary hearings, Hull FC's Jansin Turgut was suspended for two matches and fined £300 after pleading guilty to striking with an elbow or forearm in the match against St Helens.
Salford prop Lama Tasi has been given a one-game ban after submitting an early guilty plea for a dangerous throw on Wakefield's Anthony England.
Leigh Centurions' Gareth Hock pleaded guilty and was fined £300 for a grade A punching offence.
St Helens' Alex Walmsley, Widnes' Danny Craven and Huddersfield's Sebastine Ikahihifo have all escaped suspension after they submitted early guilty pleas.


The first rails have been laid on a £127m project that will see trams return to Birmingham city centre.

The Metro currently links Birmingham with Wolverhampton.
A 1.2km (0.7 mile) scheme, due to be completed in 2015, will see the line extended from Snow Hill railway station to New Street station.
The route, along Bull Street, Corporation Street and Stephenson Street, will see trams in the city centre for the first time since 1953.
The extension is being part-funded by £75.4m from the Department for Transport, which gave its backing in February 2012.
Work began in July although the first rails have just been laid.
Centro, the West Midlands transport authority, said the Metro extension would "revolutionise the way people travel to and around the city" and carry up to 3.5 million passengers a year.
But Baljit Kandola, co-owner of Bull Street-based newsagents Central News Midland, said his trade had fallen by 60% since the start of work and said he has had to sack three employees because of that.
"When the buses stopped that was bad enough but ever since the tram extension began, it has become a lot worse," he said.
"Hopefully we will benefit when the Metro is up and running but that's two years down the line. I'm not sure we'll still be here."
Meanwhile, Aggie Pelekanou, owner of Monty's Deli Sandwich Bar, also in Bull Street, said his breakfast trade had halved since the start of the tram scheme.
"It started when they moved the buses in August last year," he said.
"People used to get off the bus, grab a coffee. Now there is no passing trade at all. The workers have been good. They have arranged their shifts so they're not using the loud machinery when we're doing our lunch service but I can't lie. It has been hard."
The tram extension is expected to create more than 1,300 new jobs and boost the West Midlands economy by more than £50m a year. Four tram stops will be included as part of the scheme: at Snow Hill, Bull Street, Corporation Street and Stephenson Street.
Roger Horton, Centro's lead member for rail, who laid the first rail track at Colmore Gate in Bull Street, said traders had been compensated for their losses.
"Once there are trams coming past their shops, the traders will benefit," Mr Horton, who is also a Sandwell councillor, said.
Birmingham councillor Kath Hartley, the vice-chairman of the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority said she also thought it would be "absolutely worth it".
"It may not be that far a distance in this first phase but this is only the first step," she said.
"Eventually this will go out to all the main centres. Quinton, towards the Black Country and the airport via Bordesley. It is what the people want."
But some people passing Corporation Street said they were unaware of what work was going on there.
"It's roadworks I think," said telecom salesman Bradley Davis, a 19-year-old sales assistant, from Metchley Lane in Harborne.
"It's been like this for about a year. I think they are making the road bigger."


The JLT Condor team claimed a double victory in the opening round of the Pearl Izumi Tour Series held as part of Cyclefest in the Isle of Man.

The two-time series winners got their 2016 campaign off to a perfect start in Ramsey with victories in both the time trial and criterium.
Following their team trial victory, it was Chris Lawless from Wigan who won took the individual criterium.
Raleigh's Sebastian Mora finished second, with Dale Appleby (NFTO) third.
Local guest Owen Dudley, 17 and from the Isle of Man, finished an impressive sixth in near perfect cycling conditions in Ramsey.
The leading riders completed 33 laps of a one-mile (1.5km) closed road circuit.
With each team's top four riders counting in the time trial, JLT Condor edged out Madison Genesis by just two seconds, with Team Raleigh GAC a further second back.
The series opener was held as part of a new four-day festival of cycling on the island, which continues on Friday with a mass participation event and BMX GP.


Leonardo DiCaprio is widely expected to take home his first best actor Oscar later.

The Revenant, which he is nominated for, is also seen as a strong contender for best picture and best director.
The ceremony gets under way at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles at 17:30 PST (01:30 GMT).
But it is being boycotted by some Hollywood figures who are protesting about the lack of ethnic diversity among this year's nominees.
All 20 nominees in the best acting or supporting acting categories are white.
Last week, Harvey Weinstein discouraged a boycott, reassuring those concerned that host Chris Rock would "annihilate" Hollywood in his opening monologue at the ceremony.
The black comedian is known for dealing with racial issues in his routines and it is expected he will make reference to the recent controversy.
Earlier this month, director Spike Lee - who was one of the first figures to speak publicly about the lack of diversity - said the boycott had been vindicated by the response from organisers.
The Academy, which hands out the Oscar honours, announced it would double the number of women and ethnic minority members by 2020 after the protests.
Best picture contest
The Oscars take place two weeks after DiCaprio won a Bafta for best actor - often a good indicator of Academy Awards success.
DiCaprio has never won a best actor Oscar before, despite three previous nominations and relentless campaigning from fans.
The 41-year-old is up against Eddie Redmayne, Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon and Michael Fassbender for the statue.
The Revenant faces tough competition in the best picture category from The Big Short and Spotlight.
The Big Short was not initially seen as the favourite to triumph, but its chances were boosted after it won the top prize at the Producers Guild Awards (PGA).
The best picture winner at the PGAs has gone on win the same award at the Oscars every year for the past eight years.
Brie Larson is up for best actress alongside Saoirse Ronan, Charlotte Rampling, previous winners Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lawrence - the latter has already picked up a Golden Globe for her performance in Joy.
Kate Winslet stands a strong chance of taking home best supporting actress after winning in the category both at the Golden Globes and the Baftas.
She is up against Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rooney Mara, Alicia Vikander and Rachel McAdams.
The nominees for best supporting actor are Christian Bale, Mark Ruffalo, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hardy and Mark Rylance.
You can follow live coverage of the ceremony on our Entertainment Live page from 23:00 GMT.


AB de Villiers has stepped down as South Africa's one-day captain but is making himself available for international selection in all three formats.

The 33-year-old, who was captain for six years, says it is "time for someone else to take the ODI side forward".
He missed South Africa's Test series defeat in England because he "needed a bit of time away from the game".
But De Villiers, speaking on Facebook, said he feels "refreshed and revived".
De Villiers, who has more than 8,000 Test runs at an average of 50.46, has not played a Test since January 2016.
He played for the Proteas in the T20 series against England last month and captained the ODI side in the Champions Trophy, where they failed to reach the semi-finals.
In a statement he defended accusations he has been "picking and choosing when to play".
"Over the past year or so, I have tried to manage many commitments, " he said. "I have felt mentally and physically tired; my wife and I are bringing up two fantastic kids and playing in all three formats ever since 2004 has taken its toll.
"Together with Cricket South Africa, we have tried to develop a viable schedule which allows me to prolong my career for as long as possible."
He added: "This strategy has prompted some people to say I am picking and choosing when to play for the Proteas, and even to suggest I am somehow putting myself before the team.
"That is simply not true. That has never been true. Playing for South Africa is, and will always be, the greatest privilege of my life. "
South Africa host Bangladesh in two Tests, starting on 28 September, while India and Australia will tour in early 2018.


The number of people claiming unemployment benefits in Northern Ireland fell by 1,000 in August to 42,000.

However, the other measure of unemployment, the Labour Force Survey, rose by 0.1 percentage points to 6.2%.
That is higher than the UK unemployment rate which was unchanged at 5.5%.
The figures also show long-term unemployment in Northern Ireland is significantly above the UK rate.
Other figures show that output in Northern Ireland's service sector, the largest segment of the economy, grew slightly in the second quarter of the year.
Output was 0.5% higher compared to the first quarter of the year and 0.7% higher than the same point in 2014.
The strongest growth was in the retailing and hospitality sectors which was up 2.2% compared to the second quarter of 2014.
Analysis: BBC News NI Economics and Business Editor John Campbell
Northern Ireland's recovery has been weaker than in the UK as a whole and these figures suggest an economy which is just about growing.
The labour market picture is more complicated than just a falling claimant count - for example long-term unemployment is a real problem.
One of the more concerning factors is a slowdown in some parts of the manufacturing sector.
It has been a star performer in the last couple of years, but external factors like the strength of sterling appear to be taking a toll.
The picture was mixed in the production sector, which includes manufacturing.
Output was up by 1% over the year, but down by 1.9% compared to the first quarter of the year.
The food and drink sector is under particular pressure - output is almost 5% down compared to the second quarter of 2014.
That is likely to be related to global falls in commodity prices, particularly in the dairy sector.


BBC presenter Diane Louise Jordan said she has had "a tough three years" trying to clear her name after being wrongly accused of harassment.

The ex-Blue Peter presenter said her career suffered after she was issued with a PIN (Police Information Notice).
She was given the PIN, sometimes called a Harassment Warning Notice, in 2014 for allegedly harassing the partner of her daughter's estranged husband.
Her accuser received a suspended 18-month prison sentence on Thursday.
Kayla Thomas was sentenced for perverting the course of justice. A spokesman for Cambridge Crown Court said Ms Thomas had given a false witness statement and was also subject to a three-month curfew.
The case has drawn attention to the issuing of PINs, which some claim are issued too frequently and without sufficient investigation.
Jordan, who currently co-presents the BBC's Songs of Praise, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she felt "guilty until proven innocent", adding: "It is a horrible thing to be hanging over you for three years, for something you know you haven't done."
Speaking to BBC Two's Victoria Derbyshire programme,  she said: "I'm still reeling from it now. My integrity has been questioned and my sense of trust has flown out the window."
The presenter said she had signed the notice because she thought she had "no option", without realising it would go "on some sort of record".
She said the issuing of the notice and the media coverage it generated had had a "detrimental impact" on her charity work.
"Some of the charities I was working with I haven't heard from again," she told the BBC on Thursday.
Because signing a Police Information Notice does not mean admitting any wrongdoing, there is no right of appeal.
In 2015, a government report acknowledged that the lack of any procedure for appealing against a PIN "can feel very unfair to recipients".
"If somebody takes a dislike to you, they can make an allegation and you can be slapped with one of these notices," said Jordan.
"The notices last about a year, but I've since found out they can stay on your record for longer. The police are aware they are less than perfect."
Jordan presented Blue Peter from 1990 to 1996 and was its first black presenter.

Jersey is to host the 2017 European Bowls Team Championship.

It will be the third time the island has staged the event, having previously done so in 1999 and 2001.
Les Creux Bowls Club in St Brelade will again be the venue for the competition, which takes place from 23-29 September, as it was 15 years ago.
"This is a showcase event that bowls in Jersey really does need to give us some profile," said Bowls Jersey president Greg Davis.
Derek Boswell and Cyril Renouf won a silver medal for Jersey in the men's pairs at the 2015 Championship in Israel.
Jersey's last gold came in 2011 when Katie Nixon and Joan Renouf won the women's pairs in Portugal, while Cyril Renouf took men's singles gold in Cyprus two years earlier.
There could be as many as 16 nations competing at Les Creux next year.
"They call it the friendly games as it encourages some of the developing nations to come along as well," added Davis.
"You end up with the likes of Germany and Switzerland, countries that have only recently started playing bowls and are getting help with the equipment and facilities to build their greens."


A professional footballer groped a "tipsy" woman who was asleep on his sofa, a court has heard.

Guy Madjo, a 31-year-old Cameroonian player, invited the 27-year-old to stay at his home in Grayshott, Hampshire, after she was locked out of her flat, jurors heard.
She awoke to find the defendant groping her, prosecutors said.
Mr Madjo, who denies sexual penetration, is being tried in his absence at Winchester Crown Court.
Judge Andrew Barnett warned jurors not to "speculate or guess" why the defendant was not present.
Rebecca Austin, prosecuting, said the woman had been drinking in a pub near her house in August last year.
After discovering she had been locked out she got her hand stuck in the letter box.
Mr Madjo, who lived nearby, helped her remove her hand and said she could stay on his sofa, the court heard.
Miss Austin said the woman, who described herself as "tipsy", fell asleep on the sofa but woke up to find herself being groped by the defendant.
She said: "She left, walked away and called the police, she said she was being followed by him.
"She ran away from Mr Madjo, she fell and then she hid behind a car, she was found by a neighbour."
Miss Austin said Mr Madjo, who shares the house with his wife and plays as a striker, "denied that he touched her sexually at all".
Mr Madjo, a free agent, has played for Tranmere Rovers, Aldershot, Bristol City, Forest Green Rovers, Stafford Rangers, Crawley Town and Shrewsbury Town.
He also played for Plymouth Argyle, Stevenage and Macclesfield Town as well as the Cameroon under-23 national team.


There is no "plan B" to a proposed deal to keep Tata's Port Talbot steel plant open, the first minister has warned.

Carwyn Jones told AMs it was the "only deal on the table" given the "lack of interest from the UK government".
His comments come after Plaid Cymru AM Bethan Jenkins criticised steelworkers' unions, accusing them of doing a disservice to members.
Steelworkers are expected to be balloted on changes to pensions in January.
Plaid's economy spokesman Adam Price has urged steel workers to reject a move away from final salary pensions.
Mark Turner, a Unite union official at Port Talbot, has called for politicians to "keep their opinions to themselves for the time being" after Mr Price's comments.
Tata has said pension reform is essential to the deal, which would see Â£1bn invested at Port Talbot over 10 years.
Speaking during First Minister's Questions in the Senedd on Tuesday, Mr Jones said: "Although it is a matter for workers to make their own decisions, the proposal that is on the table is I believe one that will preserve the steel industry in south Wales.
"There is no plan B."
Pushed on whether he still supported the deal by Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies, Mr Jones said: "In the absence of anything from the UK government, and the lack of interest from the UK government since the last prime minister left his office, I believe this is the only deal on the table."
The company made a commitment to secure jobs and production at Port Talbot and its other steelworks in December.
"I think it is entirely appropriate for politicians to be making views on this," Bethan Jenkins, who is Plaid's spokeswoman on steel, said.
"In fact I think that there are assembly members who have come out already in favour of the deal with Tata: Lee Waters, Andrew RT Davies not withstanding."
"I've spoken to many of the steelworkers who have said they are not getting that leadership, in the sense that they are not getting key information on what the Â£1bn investment would look like," she said.
She said Tata had put workers in a "gun to the head" situation.
"It does seem that they are saying it is either the pension scheme or jobs," she said.
"I think the trade unions are doing their own members a disservice by not having an opinion," Ms Jenkins said.
She said she was hearing "off the record from workers that the trade union leadership themselves are saying in those private meetings that they are not in favour".
Mr Jones described her comments on trade unions doing a disservice as "unfortunate".
Andy Richards, Unite Wales Secretary and a former Welsh Labour chairman, said "members will not be guided by publicity seeking politicians such as Adam Price, who seek to tell our members how they should vote on the proposals from the comfort of their own secure employment and public service pension scheme".
He said: "Politicians need to refrain from opportunistic posturing at the present time and let the TATA employees carefully consider all the information and come to an informed choice."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said Plaid Cymru should not be "playing politics with 7,000 jobs and a situation that could escalate very quickly indeed".
Mr Davies said Mr Price and Ms Jenkins were "not going to step in and secure an alternative to the loss of thousands of jobs" for workers "being asked to make a calculated sacrifice to secure their long-term livelihoods".


A Europe-wide police operation has recovered more than 3,500 stolen artworks and cultural artefacts.

The recovered items included a marble tombstone from the Ottoman empire and a Byzantine image of Saint George.
Multinational police agencies Europol and Interpol coordinated "Operation Pandora", led by Cypriot and Spanish police.
Police arrested 75 people, and investigated 48,588 individuals, Europol said.
Among the recovered items were:
In addition to the 75 people who were arrested, Europol said that 92 new investigations had been opened as a result of the operation.
Investigators said that criminal gangs involved in cultural theft were the focus, particularly those who seized cultural items by force - either on land or from sunken wrecks.
The operation took place during October and November last year.
Eighteen countries, mostly from the European Union - but also Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Switzerland - were involved.
Cypriot police said they alone recovered almost 1,400 artefacts during 44 searches.
Europol co-ordinated efforts, while Interpol contributed its database of stolen artworks.
Both the World Customs Organisation and Unesco also contributed their expertise.


Sheffield United continued their promotion push with a decisive win over Swindon at Bramall Lane.

Mark Duffy bagged a brace while Paul Coutts and substitute Caolan Lavery also scored as the Blades moved second in League One.
The visitors had the better of the opening exchanges but the hosts grew into the game with creative midfielder Duffy at the centre of the action.
Level at half-time, United started the second period with greater urgency and were ahead after 52 minutes.
Duffy's sliced shot was initially saved by Lawrence Vigouroux, but the goalkeeper spilled the ball and was unable to prevent it crossing the line.
The Blades had a second two minutes later as Duffy laid the ball off for Coutts, who smashed home from 16 yards.
Duffy's second and United's third after an hour put the game beyond Swindon, as he slotted past Vigouroux from Billy Sharp's cross.
It was 4-0 when substitute Lavery found the far corner from close range in the 77th minute.

The tragic tale of the SS Laurentic is to be told in a new exhibition to mark the centenary of its sinking.

The Laurentic was a passenger ship but during World War One it was used by the government to transport gold.
The White Star Liner struck a German mine at the mouth of Lough Swilly, County Donegal, in 1917 and more than 350 men lost their lives.
The Tower Museum in Londonderry is asking to borrow any items salvaged from the ship.
It was carrying more than 3,000 gold bars when it went down. The majority have been recovered but 22 remain on the bed of the Swilly.
Photographs and artefacts from the ship, and oral histories of its sinking, will form part of an exhibition opening next year.
Ronan McConnell from the Tower Museum said numerous salvage attempts meant there were a number of items recovered over the years.
He said: "We know there's a lot of material from the Laurentic out there, large pieces of brass, driftwood tables, items like vanity mirrors and tobacco tins - this was a luxury liner so there were quite a lot of luxury items on the ship."
The Tower Museum Exhibition opens on 25 January 2017.


The Tour de Yorkshire took its name from the world famous Tour de France and 2017 will be the second year it has taken place.

Covering a total of over 300 miles, split into three separate stages, the Tour de Yorkshire is one of the UK's longest and toughest bicycle races.
In 2016, the tour was watched on TV in over 150 countries around the world and attracted one and a half million people who lined the route to cheer on the riders.
Each stage takes a different route and presents the riders with different climbs, not quite as steep as some of the climbs in the Tour de France but still very challenging.
The Grand DÃ©part is the name given to the start of the Tour de France. Since the 1970s it has been common for the Grand Depart to take place outside of France and competition for a city to win the chance to host it is strong.
The Tour de Yorkshire came to life after the Tour de France Grand DÃ©part and also two of the first stages of the Tour de France where held in Yorkshire in 2014.
After the success of the Tour's visit to the UK, the idea came about for Yorkshire to host its own stage based cycle race.
Now in its second year, the Tour de Yorkshire brings some of the world's biggest cycling teams and riders to the rolling hills of the North West of England.


Changes to the National 5 qualification "to help reduce teacher workload and over-assessment" of pupils have been confirmed.

Education Secretary John Swinney said mandatory unit assessments will be removed in 2017/18.
He added course assessments - exams and coursework - "have been strengthened to maintain their integrity, breadth and standards".
National 4 and 5 replaced standard grades in the new curriculum.
Teaching unions have raised concerns over the use of unit assessments in the qualifications, which they said significantly increased the workload of teachers.
The reforms also include extending the Grade D band from 45%-49% to include candidates who achieve between 40% and 49%.
Schools will be able to continue presenting candidates for both National 5 units and the course assessments.
This means candidates achieving less than 40% in the course assessment, and who have completed the relevant units, would be awarded a National 4 qualification.
This option is available in exceptional circumstances and for an interim period only.
Mr Swinney said: "Removing mandatory unit assessments will significantly reduce teacher workload and the over-assessment experienced by some young people.
"The changes to National 5 agreed by the Assessment and Qualifications Group will begin to be implemented later this year.
"Ahead of that, I have been listening closely to feedback about the need to ensure the achievements of young people continue to be recognised.
"Teachers and learners are currently making decisions about courses for the next academic year and it is incumbent upon schools and colleges to ensure learners are presented at the appropriate qualification level.
"The new guidance confirms that a fallback option will be available for National 5 on an interim basis only until such time as the National 4 qualification has been revised.
"The guidance also makes clear that this should only be used in exceptional circumstances."
The Scottish Conservatives' education spokeswoman, Liz Smith, gave the move a cautious welcome.
She said: "It has been obvious for some time that there are major issues with National 4 and National 5 exams, the most important of which is the failure of the system to cater for the best interests of least-academic pupils.
"The current system is proving less effective in this respect than both standard grade and O grade before that.
"That is thanks to the very muddled thinking that has characterised discussions within Education Scotland and the SQA about Scotland's national qualifications.
"It appears that the Scottish government has only woken up now to the fact that a sizeable number of pupils could leave school with no creditable qualification and that is clearly unacceptable."
Larry Flanagan, general secretary of the EIS teaching union, said: "It is a matter of regret that this Scottish government advice has been a long time in coming, as this has led to significant uncertainty for schools over a prolonged period.
"The EIS does, however, welcome this strong message around the alleviation of the excessive workload burden that has been placed on teachers and pupils.".


A football fan was left in panic after his dog ate three tickets for his club's Championship play-off final.

Norwich City fan Matt Grimmer from Bradwell discovered Freddie the cockapoo had chewed up part of the tickets for Monday's game against Middlesbrough at Wembley.
"The barcode which you use to go through the gates at Wembley was totally defaced," he said.
Norwich City have reprinted the tickets for him and two of his sons.
Mr Grimmer, 41, will now be able to go to the game to see if his side can reach the Premier League.
He had put the tickets in what he thought was a safe place, so they would not get mixed up with the recycling.
But two-year-old Freddie "obviously got a smell of them", he said, "he's a typical cockapoo" (a cross between a poodle and a cocker spaniel).
"He's full of life and energy and if he sees something he'll go for it and have a play and obviously he saw the tickets and the rest is history," he said.
"He chewed the edges and had actually eaten some of the tickets.
"My season tickets were with them as well and we thought he might have had one of those, but we found that underneath the rug."
Mr Grimmer said the dog was born in Norfolk and not Suffolk and so could not have an allegiance to rivals Ipswich Town.
"It happened to a QPR fan last year [and they won] so the omen is there for us to do it again this year - we will win 2-1," he said.
Canaries fans have had ticket disasters before - earlier this year Mikey Knights' mother accidentally cooked 16 tickets he had bought for a match at Brighton.


The European Union needs the UK more than the UK needs it, according to the Vote Leave Campaign.

"We are the fifth largest economy in the world. We will be able to have a decent deal with the EU", said John Moynihan, speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"The EU needs a trade deal with us more than we need a trade deal with them".
His comments follow yesterday's remarks by a leading pro-EU voice that leaving the market would be a "huge risk".
Speaking on the same programme, the chair of Britain Stronger in Europe, Lord Rose, said full access to Europe's single market was vital for UK businesses and jobs.
But today Mr Moynihan said: "The other side are trying to create FUD - fear, uncertainty and doubt - they're trying to say, oh, it's terribly dangerous, a leap into the unknown to leave. Nothing will happen. As Stuart Rose himself has said, the day we vote to leave the EU nothing at all will happen.
"At the end of it we will have a relationship with the EU, it's highly unlikely that it will be the sort of disastrous relationship that they claim".
Asked how a trading relationship of the UK outside the EU would look he said: "Everybody agrees there would be a free trade deal with the European Union, they cannot afford not to have a free trade deal with us.  They export far more to us than we export to them.
"The French export huge amounts of food to us. The French farmers would riot if they thought we were going to enter into a trade war".
But Lord Rose told the BBC that campaigns to leave the EU had not explained how the benefits of the EU single market would be replaced.
"Those who want Britain to leave Europe cannot guarantee that Britain will retain full access to Europe's single market. They are putting the benefits at risk. Their proposed deal, whereby Britain would somehow retain access to the single market without obeying any of the rules, is a fantasy."
The prime minister, who wants the UK to stay within a reformed European Union, is pushing to renegotiate Britain's terms of membership ahead of an in/out referendum, which must be held by the end of 2017.
If agreement with other EU leaders is reached next month, a vote could potentially be held as early as June.

A teenager who headbutted one fan and bit another's cheek at a 50 Cent gig causing the rapper to appeal for calm has been spared jail.

Alexander McHugh, 19, lashed out twice at the Newcastle gig in November 2015.
McHugh, of Peasemore Road, Pennywell, Sunderland, was sentenced to 20 months in prison suspended for two years, during a Newcastle Crown Court hearing.
He must also pay each victim Â£300 compensation after admitting wounding and causing actual bodily harm.
The first victim, a student, stepped in when he saw McHugh pushing a woman in the audience.
McHugh felt threatened when he was challenged, the court heard, and he headbutted the man, leaving him needing eight stitches that have left him with scars on his forehead.
Shortly afterwards, McHugh attacked a 16-year-old after there was more shoving, knocking him over and biting his cheek as he sat astride him.
A previous hearing was told how 50 Cent appealed for calm from the stage having seen a disturbance in the crowd.
Recorder Tahir Khan QC said McHugh, who has an apprenticeship, must also carry out unpaid community work and take an anger management course.
The judge heard McHugh has been "out of trouble" for the past year.
He told McHugh: "You are demonstrating a desire to live a law-abiding life."


Detectives investigating a crash in which a motorcyclist died have charged two men with his murder.

Stuart Hutchings, 22, from Southfields, Northampton, suffered serious head injuries in a collision in the Kingsthorpe area 10 days ago.
He was taken to University Hospital, Coventry but died of his injuries on Wednesday.
Craig Turner, 25, and David Barnes, 28, both from Daventry, will appear at Northampton Crown Court on 30 May.
The collision happened in Eastern Avenue North, close to the junction with Eastern Close in Kingsthorpe, at about 20:30 BST on 18 May.


Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis has been appointed president of Commonwealth Games England.

Lewis, 43, succeeds Dame Kelly Holmes, who spent six years in the role.
The 2000 Olympic heptathlon champion will give "leadership and guidance" before the 2018 Commonwealth Games, to be held on Australia's Gold Coast.
"I am thrilled I have the chance to work with, and support, England's athletes and help them towards becoming a Commonwealth medallist," said Lewis.
"I understand what support is needed in order to allow athletes to prepare and compete to the best of their potential."
As well as her Olympic success in Sydney, Lewis won Commonwealth titles in 1994 and 1998.
Commonwealth Games England manages the participation and preparation of the England team.
Its chairman, Ian Metcalfe, said Lewis' role will be "vital", adding: "We're certain that her experience as an elite athlete will inspire the next generation of Team England athletes and assist CGE in supporting them."
England topped the medal table at last year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and were third in September's Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa.


Oldham director Barry Owen says he has "no regrets" over the club's attempt to sign convicted rapist Ched Evans.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Evans, 26, was jailed for five years in 2012 and released in October. A proposed move to Oldham collapsed after pressure from sponsors and threats to the club's staff and their families.
Owen says the financial implication of losing sponsors would have put the Latics' future in jeopardy.
"I will never regret it," Owen told the BBC's Football League Show.
"I am hugely disappointed for many reasons that I can't discuss."
Here Owen explains why Oldham wanted to sign Evans, why the deal fell through and how the striker reacted to the news.
Evans scored 48 goals in 113 games for Sheffield United and Owen said it was the Wales international' performances on the pitch that convinced Oldham to try and sign him.
"Oldham were going to get a footballer that in other circumstances they wouldn't have been able to afford," he said. "This was driven by football reasons."
In November, a month after his release from prison, Sheffield United retracted their offer to let Evans use their training facilities following another public outcry.
Owen says Oldham were "more positive" than the Blades and were "determined" to sign the player having carried out "due diligence".
High-profile sponsors threatened to end their association with the club if Oldham signed Evans, and Owen said that forced the club's hand.
Mecca Bingo and Zen Office were among the sponsors who threatened to cut ties with the League One side, while Verlin Rainwater Solutions did so.
Owen said: "We knew there would be a storm to bear and were prepared to accept a lot of that and take it on the chin because we believed strongly in the right to employ this man.
"We did not anticipate the amount of sponsorship pressure, which was understandable because they were under extreme pressure.
"In the end it came down purely to the finances.
"We would have been in extreme financial difficulty with the withdrawal of sponsorships we would have had to withstand and it would have put the club into serious jeopardy."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Owen, a former Greater Manchester Police officer, said he "understood" and "empathised" with people's opposition to the signing of Evans.
"There is a fundamental right that the boy can work and I fully understand the opposition to it," he said.
"I have seen the effects of rape on people, which is frightening.
"All those points came into the due diligence which we carried out. We looked and balanced everything against them but at end of the day there are no Football Association rules against the signing, no laws in the land.
"There is nothing in there to say how we should go along the rehabilitation process or anything stopping us from proceeding.
"We [the board] are all family men, we are a small club and do not have millions of pounds to withstand the pressure put on us. Every one of the directors have daughters, the chief executive has family, many members of staff have families and they were supporting this lawful act we were carrying out."
Owen said Evans had accepted Oldham's decision with good grace.
"Whether that was because he can take no more disappointments because of his time in prison I don't know," he said.
"He fully accepted the pressure we were under in the end and I have to thank him and his team for the way they accepted the decision that was forced on us."
Owen, who has resigned as chairman of the club's supporters' trust after 12 years but insisted his decision had "nothing to do with recent events", said the saga will only serve to make the club stronger.
He said: "We have to get up and move on. We have got a great club and a great spirit it has made us as directors and chief executive stronger for each other.
"It has been a great learning curve. We make mistakes, we will re-examine that and come back stronger for it."

An Egyptian court has ordered the release on bail of former President Hosni Mubarak in a corruption case.

Reports suggest he may be freed from jail on Thursday - but officials say he will be put under house arrest.
The 85-year-old still faces charges of complicity in the killing of protesters during the uprising that forced him from power in 2011.
He was sentenced to life in jail last year, but a retrial was later ordered after his appeal was upheld.
That retrial opened in May but Mr Mubarak has now served the maximum amount of pre-trial detention permitted in the case.
Cairo voices on Mubarak
On Wednesday, a court ordered Mr Mubarak's release, said his lawyer and judicial sources.
Asked when Mr Mubarak could actually leave the prison, his defence lawyer Fareed El-Deeb told Reuters: "Maybe tomorrow."
The ruling came during a hearing on charges that the former president had accepted gifts from state-run publisher al-Ahram.
State prosecutor Ahmed el-Bahrawi was quoted by Reuters as saying that the ruling "is final and the prosecution cannot appeal against it".
Prosecutors have previously brought new charges when courts have ordered Mr Mubarak's release - a move intended to keep the ailing ex-leader in detention.
What now for Muslim Brotherhood?
Q&A: Egypt in turmoil
Who is who in Muslim Brotherhood

Later on Wednesday, the office of Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said that Mr Mubarak would be placed under house arrest after his release.
"In the context of the emergency law, the deputy military commander issued an order that Hosni Mubarak should be put under house arrest," the office said in a statement.
Egypt is under a state of emergency amid the bloodshed which has accompanied the interim government's crackdown on Islamists opposed to the army's ousting of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi on 3 July.
Hundreds of members of the Muslim Brotherhood - the movement from which Mr Morsi comes - have been detained including its most senior leader Mohammed Badie, who was wanted over alleged incitement to violence and murder,
Analysts say Mr Mubarak's release - if it happens - would be seen by many as a sign the military is rolling back the changes that flowed from the 2011 uprising.
European Union foreign ministers on Wednesday held urgent talks to determine a response to the clampdown.
At the meeting in Brussels, they agreed to stop export licences on military equipment to Egypt and to reassess security co-operation.
Arms are provided by individual countries rather than the EU as a whole, mostly by Germany, France and Spain. The UK has already suspended some of its military help.
But the 28-member block's humanitarian aid to Egypt would remain unaffected, despite calls from some EU politicians to cut the assistance after more than 900 people were killed in clashes last week.
The violence erupted as security forces cleared two sit-ins in Cairo by people demanding the reinstatement of Mr Morsi.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Baroness Catherine Ashton, said: "Assistance to the most needy will remain. All member states feel very strongly they want to continue to support the people of Egypt."
She earlier offered to mediate a political solution to the crisis and is working on "confidence building measures" between the interim government and Brotherhood.
In Washington, senior officials discussed on Tuesday whether to reduce the $1.3bn (Â£830m) in military aid that the US gives Egypt every year. The meeting reportedly produced no imminent changes to US policy.


A free app to improve children's sleep has been launched by doctors at the Evelina Children's Hospital in London.

They think it will help the two million parents in the UK who express concern about their child's sleep and ease pressure on the NHS.
Kids Sleep Doctor gives parents tailored advice, such as dealing with night terrors or up-all-night teens, based on their sleeping patterns.
Experts said good sleep was vital for a child's development and behaviour.
Paul Gringras, a professor of children's sleep medicine at the hospital, said "massive" waiting lists mean doctors could see "only the tip of the iceberg".
So the hospital developed an app that gives personalised advice to parents of 0-16 year-olds to tackle the different sleeping problems that crop up at different ages.
Initial advice starts after entering details about bedtimes, where the child falls asleep, how much screen time they have, and caffeinated drinks consumption.
After five days of recording a child's sleep habits, such as night-waking and bedtimes, the full personalised service kicks in.
"Hopefully they are sleeping in the normal range, but if they're outside that then it advises parents," Prof Gringras told the BBC News website.
"Take a five-year-old who suddenly is waking up every night screaming, doesn't recognise parents and pushes them away.
"The app would say it is like a night terror and will happen in 10% of children in this age range and they will grow out of it, but they can also try a technique called scheduled waking half an hour after they have gone to bed."
In another scenario, it would advise parents of teenagers unable to sleep until really late at night, and are then too tired for school, that exercise in the afternoon is as powerful as any drug for promoting sleep.
"These are not annoying daily tips, it's tailored advice," he added.
The app has been designed to reduce pressures on the health service rather than make money.
It is currently available free on iOS. Android and Windows versions will follow.
"I think there's a lot of people it could prevent needing to see a GP. Parents can do a brilliant job," added Prof Gringras.
However, the roughly 200,000 children with serious sleep disorders such as narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnoea would see need to see a doctor.
The advice does not apply during the first three months.
The app has also been designed in a dark and orange palette to minimise the amount of blue light emitted - which is the wavelength of light that most disrupts sleep.
Psychologist and child therapist Professor Tanya Byron commented: "Many children are affected by sleep problems which can have a major effect on the whole family.
"Getting a good night's sleep is so important for a child's physical and mental development, behaviour and concentration - to name but a few.
"We know parents know their children better than anyone, and I'm confident that the 'Kids Sleep Dr' app will help parents to understand and better manage their child's sleep problems."


Chelsea's Diego Costa is serving a three-game ban after being suspended for his confrontation with Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny in the Blues' victory at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

It is the latest in a long line of controversial incidents that have dogged the explosive striker throughout his life in football, from humble beginnings in Brazil to superstardom in Spain and the Premier League.
But what makes Costa tick? Why does he attract so much trouble? And is there another side to his personality?
To understand Diego Costa the man, we have to return to the beginning and look at Diego Costa the child.
His life started in Lagarto, a poor town of 100,000 people in eastern Brazil, where his football-mad father, Jose de Jesus, named him Diego in honour of Argentine legend Diego Maradona - he also has an older brother called Jair, after Brazil's flamboyant 1970s winger Jairzinho.
Unlike many of their neighbours, the Costa family did not live in poverty because Jose de Jesus always worked, but life was tough and the brothers soon learned to fend for themselves when they weren't helping their father with his agricultural labour.
Looking back on those early days for a documentary made by Spanish TV network Canal Plus last year, Jose de Jesus recalled that his youngest son was a bundle of energy. "He was electric, anxious, he didn't stop…he always had an aggressive manner," he said. "More than once, things ended with a fight."
He was also very good at football, using his powerful physique to impose himself on the opposition. But Lagarto had no sporting facilities, no grass pitches and no youth team clubs providing organised football, so the only way Costa could learn how to play was on the street.
And the streets of Lagarto had their own rules. In a rare and revealing 2012 interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais, Costa reflected: "I fought for everything, I couldn't control myself.
"I insulted everyone and didn't have any respect for the opposition. I thought I had to kill them…I got very heated. I got used to football where the biggest ones threw their elbows at the others, and I thought that was normal."
Despite spending so much of his youth kicking footballs on the streets of Lagarto, the fact he had never played an organised form of the game meant that by his mid-teens Costa was not seriously considering turning professional.
He was, indeed, more interested in getting a job so he'd have enough money to take girls out for dinner, and he started travelling to the Paraguayan border to pick up cheap fake brands and sell them at a shopping centre.
By then, he had moved away from Lagarto to live with his uncle Jarminho in Sao Paulo and, recognising his football talent, Jarminho persuaded his nephew - by paying him - to join a youth team, Barcelona Esportivo Capela, at the age of 16.
Costa had ability, but street football had left him very rough around the edges. Before long his indiscipline got him into trouble, as he later recalled. "They gave me a four-month suspension for slapping an opponent and going after the referee when he showed me the red card," he said.
But one day an associate of super-agent Jorge Mendes came to watch Costa, and the ban was magically lifted. He played, impressed the watching scout and was promptly sold to Sporting Braga in Portugal.
First, though, he had to persuade his parents, neither of whom wanted to see their 17-year-old son move to another continent. His mother Josileide recalled: "It was a terrible debate within the family. But he said: 'If you don't let me leave, I will escape. I have given my word, and I am going.'"
Stubborn, ambitious and independent, Costa was heading to Europe.
But Costa's arrival in Europe proved no fairytale success story - his route to the top was anything but easy.
After a month, in fact, he wanted to return to Brazil. But despite his son's regular tears of homesickness, his father, now convinced that Diego had a promising career ahead of him, persuaded him to stay.
Dad was right. Within two years Costa had done well enough in Portugal to attract Atletico Madrid - with help from the ever-influential Mendes. But the forward positions there were occupied by Sergio Aguero and Diego Forlan, and Costa had no hope of displacing them so he was sent out on a series of low-profile loans.
In his first three years in Spain, Costa spent time with Celta Vigo, Albacete and Real Valladolid, making the headlines as much for occasional disciplinary lapses as his goalscoring feats, which were modest.
At Valladolid, however, he met perhaps the first man capable of toning down his aggression and channelling his energy in a more positive manner: the team's manager, Jose Luis Mendilibar.
The man who Costa describes as a father figure subsequently explained that Costa's aggressive approach and his early struggles in Spain helped to define him as a player, saying: "He has an edge but all strikers need that and he is clever with it now.
"Nobody has ever given him anything, and that has made his personality."
After eventually returning to Atletico, Costa started to become better known - but still largely for his physical confrontations with opposing defenders. He enjoyed some notorious tussles with Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos, for example, but perhaps his most infamous feud was with Real Betis defender Antonio Amaya in January 2013.
When they met in the Copa del Rey, a mistake from Amaya allowed Costa to score and the striker celebrated by gleefully thanking the Betis defender for his 'gift'.
The pair had to be separated by their team-mates at the end of the game, and former Wigan man Amaya raged: "If they hadn't held me back, I would have killed him. It says a lot about what kind of person he is. He has no heart."
Amaya took his revenge two weeks later, spitting in Costa's face during a league meeting in which the Atletico striker scored the only goal.
By then, Costa was finally becoming an important player for Atletico and he took another great step forward in the summer of 2013, when Radamel Falcao was sold to Monaco and manager Diego Simeone made Costa the new focus of the team's attack.
Until that point, Costa had never scored more than 10 league goals in a season, but he relished the extra responsibility and proceeded to play a vital role in Atletico's hugely unexpected La Liga title triumph.
Just as important as his 27 league goals - nearly a threefold improvement on his previous best - Costa's aggression allowed him to become the team's symbolic leader, epitomising their combative style, often described as 'holding a knife between their teeth'.
At the end of that spectacular season, the Mendes link again resurfaced as Jose Mourinho - another client of the super-agent - lured Costa to Stamford Bridge, and the Premier League has since become accustomed to his occasional tendency to let the knife slip.
An aggressive presence on the field, Costa has pursued success no less determinedly off it.
Perhaps the starkest demonstration of his professional ruthlessness came in 2014, when was he persuaded by Spain boss Vicente del Bosque to pursue an international career with his adopted nation before the World Cup finals - in Brazil.
The sight of a 'traitor' appearing in enemy colours on his former home turf enraged many Brazilian fans, and Costa knew that he was setting himself up to receive venomous criticism from host supporters throughout the tournament.
But his mind was made up. The prospect of being abused by his countrymen was not enough to put him off the potential rewards he could derive from turning his back on Brazil and siding with Spain.
As ever, Costa's ambition made the decision for him.
Costa, then, has always possessed all the ingredients to become one of football's biggest bad boys. But there is another, softer side to his character.
Friends and family insist that off the pitch he is quiet and gentle - his former team-mate at Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid, Mario Suarez, said: "In the dressing room he is super-calm. On the pitch, he transforms into the Diego Costa the world knows."
He is also loyal and generous, demonstrated by his decision to start a soccer school in his old home town of Lagarto, giving youngsters who dream of following in his footsteps the opportunity - one he was denied - to learn the game in proper surroundings.
More than 200 children from Lagarto now regularly attend free of charge, with all the costs met by Costa.
His friend Junior Menezes, who helps him run the school, told Canal Plus: "We thought we could help people who have no dreams and no direction, who need help the most. Kids who can't even buy a pair of football boots.
"Our only condition is that they have to be studying. Diego repeats these words a lot: I want to develop good citizens."
The snarling, growling, elbowing Costa selflessly helping to develop good citizens? There are two sides to every story.


A teenager has been arrested in connection with an alleged hit-and-run incident which left a boy in hospital.

The 14-year-old boy who was injured was walking with a 15-year-old boy when he was struck in Fernhill Road, near Rutherglen, at 14:15 on 24 January.
Police previously said a light-green Vauxhall Corsa mounted the pavement before heading off towards Castlemilk.
They have now arrested a 16-year-old male. He is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.


It's a mark of how much Michael O'Neill has achieved as Northern Ireland boss - this time four years ago a group of Germany fans he met had to Google his name to find out who he was.

But they have no need to do that now.
O'Neill is taking his side into a Euro 2016 clash with the world champions in Paris with a place in the competition's knockout stage at stake.
As he told the Irish Times, he needed to hitch-hike with some Germans during a scouting trip to Euro 2012, shortly after he had taken the job.
But he doesn't plan on returning any favours this time around.
O'Neill's and a friend went to the last European Championships in Poland and Ukraine to cast an eye over Portugal and Russia, who would be among Northern Ireland's opponents in their qualifying group for the 2014 World Cup.
He said they rented a car in Poland and but were not allowed to take it out of the country, which caused them a problem when they went to cross the border into Ukraine.
Crossing the Irish border is much easier than venturing between the two eastern European countries, he said, but German fans were on hand to help out.
"That border's not like Newry is today, there were checkpoints and all that," he said.
"We had a brainwave when we saw this bus with Germany fans - lots of people were staying in Poland and going across to Ukraine," he explained.
He "approached this wee bus" and soon they were on their way to the Ukrainian city of Lviv.
"My mate tried to explain what we were doing and who I was, so that we could get on," he said.
"They didn't know who I was, I was only in the job about six months, so when we got on they started to Google me and 'Northern Ireland manager' to see who I was.
"I didn't have accreditation or anything, we just wanted to go on our own steam."
O'Neill said he "wanted to go to the tournament and see what it's about" from a fan's point of view.
"I wanted to see Russia and Portugal and I saw them both twice," he said.
But now he and his team are making an impact at the tournament for real - a win against Ukraine in Lyon last week means they are within touching distance of extending their stay in France.
"We belong in this tournament," he said.
"I sampled that one, now we're in this one and we're part of it."
One thing is for certain - if O'Neill leads Northern Ireland to a shock result over Joachim Low's global stars on Tuesday, his stock will only rise higher.
And no German fan will never need to Google his name again.


A bear climbed into an empty car in the US state of Colorado, sounded the horn and sent the vehicle rolling down hill with the terrified animal still inside.

The car's owner, 17-year-old Ben Story, took a snap of the panic-stricken bear as it demolished the inside of his vehicle in its bid to escape.
Police in Larkspur, near Denver, eventually freed the animal by opening the door from a distance using a rope.
It is believed the bear was attracted by a sandwich left on the back seat.
Mr Story and his family were asleep when the bear opened the unlocked door of his 2008 Toyota Corolla in the early hours of the morning and climbed inside.
Mr Story's father, Ralph, said the bear must have hit the car's automatic transmission into neutral sending it rolling backwards 125ft (38m), off the driveway, down an embankment and into a thicket of trees.
"The four-way flashers were on. It's like he knew what was going on, and kept hitting the horn," he told Denver's 7News.
Once the car door closed behind the bear, it was trapped inside.
Ben Story said his car was wrecked.
"It [the bear] was a pretty good size, actually it was pretty big. If you look at the inside of the car, there's nothing left at all. You could see it moving around, it like took up the entire inside of the car."
The bear was last seen running into the woods.
Colorado wildlife expert Tyler Baskfield said bears often entered cars and houses in search of food.
"It happens all the time," he said. "They're very smart."


Scotland have called up South Africa-based back Huw Jones for their June tour of Japan.

The 22-year-old was born in Edinburgh but has not been involved in the Scotland set-up before now.
Jones plays for Cape Town-based Stormers in Super Rugby and his preferred position is centre.
He comes into Vern Cotter's 27-man squad after Glasgow Warriors fly-half Finn Russell pulled out after suffering a head injury.
Jones said: "I'm delighted to get this opportunity to play for Scotland. It's a dream come true.
"I didn't go out to South Africa with the intention of becoming a professional rugby player, but, as my career progressed, it become more of a realistic goal to play for Scotland.
"The call came as a bit of a surprise, but I'm thrilled and can't wait to get to Edinburgh next month and play my part in an exciting squad."
The Scotland newcomer was educated in Somerset, but his rugby career took off on a gap-year trip to South Africa in 2012.
He stayed on and helped the University of Cape Town win the Varsity Cup in 2014, scoring in the final, before being called up for Western Province Under-21s.
Jones progressed to the senior team before being called up by the Stormers, for whom he has made 21 appearances.
Scotland play two Tests against Japan on 18 and 25 June, with BBC Scotland providing live television, online and radio coverage.


A suicide bomb attack on a mosque in Saudi Arabia has left 15 people dead, the interior ministry says.

A senior Saudi official said the mosque in Abha, close to the Yemeni border, was used by the security forces.
The Islamic State (IS) group says it carried out the attack. The group has already claimed two deadly attacks on Shia mosques in May.
Observers say it is the single most deadly attack on Saudi security forces for many years.
Saudi officials said the bomb went off while members of the security forces were in the middle of noon prayers.
One interior ministry official told the BBC that most of those killed were members of a Special Weapons and Tactics (Swat) unit.
He said at least three mosque employees were also killed, and scores of other people were wounded.
The death toll was initially put at 13, but the interior ministry later said two of the wounded had died.
Preliminary investigations indicated the suicide bomber detonated an explosives belt while inside the mosque, interior ministry officials said.
The attack was claimed in online statements by an IS-affiliated group, al-Hijaz Province.
Another group affiliated to IS, Najd Province, said it was behind two suicide attacks in May - the first killed at least 21 people in an attack on a Shia mosque in Qatif governorate and the second, a week later, at a Shia mosque in Dammam, which left four dead.
IS last year urged its Sunni followers in Saudi Arabia to sow sectarian hatred by targeting the minority Shia population.
Last month Saudi authorities arrested 431 suspected members of IS, accusing them of plotting suicide attacks on security forces and mosques in various parts of the country.
Thursday's attack took place close to the border with Yemen, where Saudi Arabia has been waging an intense air and ground war to push back Shia Houthi rebels and restore its ally, President Mansour Abdrabbuh Hadi, to power.


Amblyseius cucumeris may have a posh name, but it is a total thug.

A tiny mite, just 0.5mm long, it is a fearsome predator.
It eats a type of insect called thrips. These are small winged insects that generally feed on plants.
Thrips are a major agricultural pest around the world, and can damage whole fields of crops, literally sucking the life out of them. But introduce amblyseius cucumeris and you have a bloodbath and then no thrips.
For farmers who wanted to protect their fields from thrips - and the many other pests out there - the method developed in the 20th Century was to spray liberally with chemical pesticides.
But as authorities around the world have in recent decades increasingly clamped down on the usage of such products, this has led to the creation of a growing multi-million dollar global industry - biological pest control.
Biological pest control is the means of controlling pests using other living organisms - breeding ladybirds to eat aphids, for example.
While it may come as a surprise to some, the East African nation of Kenya is at the forefront of the sector.
The country is helping to lead biological pest control development due to the importance of agricultural exports for the Kenyan economy.
In 2013, Kenya exported $355m (Â£250m) of agricultural products to the European Union (EU), from fruit and vegetables to fresh flowers, grown by hundreds of farmers.
And as the EU has over the years increasingly banned or limited the use of chemical pesticides, Kenya's farmers have had to follow suit to continue selling their produce in Europe.
As a result, Kenya has increasingly turned to biological pest control to ensure that its agricultural exports to Europe are still in the best possible condition, be they green beans or bunches of roses.
Henry Wainwright and his wife Louise, both agricultural scientists, set up their biological pest control business, Real IPM (Integrated Pest Management), seven years ago.
Both are British citizens who had moved to Kenya to work for another such business called Dudutech, before starting up their own company in 2009.
They now sell, breed or grow seven different bio-control agents, ranging from the aforementioned amblyseius cucumeris  to Real Metarhizium anisopliae 69, a fungus that kills insects, including types of flies and beetles, and Real Bacillus subtilis, a bacterium that attacks mildew.
Mr Wainwright says that while Real IPM's products are far more environmentally friendly than chemical treatments, farmers have to be more patient before they see the benefits.
"Unlike chemicals, where you see the results soon after spraying, bio agents works over a longer time," he says. We're talking weeks rather than days.
Real IPM, based 50 miles north east of Kenyan capital Nairobi, now employs 230 people, including 30 university graduates.
Some 75% of its sales are in its home market, with the remainder exported to Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana and the UK.
Real IPM staff train Kenyan farmers on how to use the products, and the company has a research partnership with the Nairobi-based International Centre for Insect Physiology, and UK-based business Syngenta Bioline.
Mr Wainwright, 64, says: "We decided to do this business in Kenya due to, among other things, the tropical, warm climate; availability of the right personnel; and a good work ethic that seems to thrive here.
"As awareness grows we are likely to see many more farmers, including small holder growers who greatly contribute to Kenya's fruit and vegetable exports, embrace IPM in pest and disease control."
At Dudutech, which is Real IPM's larger competitor, 13 different bio-control agents are now produced, and it spends $1m a year on research. Typically it takes three years before a new bio-control agent receives regulatory approval.
The company was set up in Kenya in 2007 by Dick Evans, a businessman of British origin who then owned one of the country's largest flower and vegetable growing businesses. In the Swahili language "dudu" means insect.
Dudutech is today a subsidiary of Kenyan agricultural business Flamingo Flowers, which in turn is owned by US investment firm Sun Capital Partners.
Tom Mason, Dudutech's managing director, says the business now employs 340 people, all Kenyans, and including 40 scientists.
The company also had partnerships with UK agricultural research organisation Rothamsted Research, Greenwich University in London, and the University of Virginia.
Mr Mason adds: "That aside, we do not buy production technologies from outside, we do our own research, and all the agents we produce are sourced locally."
However, all this research costs money, and bio-control agents are typically twice the price of chemical pesticides.
In Kenya, this means it costs between $200 and $400 to treat one acre of crops using biological pest control, compared to between $100 and $200 using chemical spray.
Back at Real IPM, Mr Wainwright says the increased cost is well worth it if it means you can export your roses, for example, to the UK.
But wherever a farmer sells his roses, Mr Wainwright says that no man should want to give pesticide covered roses to his girlfriend.


The Zika virus outbreak continues to challenge public health systems throughout Latin America.

But nowhere has it posed as serious a threat as in Brazil, where the first reports of locally transmitted infection of the virus emerged in May 2015.
Zika would have posed a challenge to Brazil's health system at the best of times, but to make matters worse, it has come at a time when Brazil is struggling with its worst recession in two decades.
Government coffers are depleted and the 2016 federal budget for Brazil's decentralised universal healthcare system (Sistema Unica de Saude or SUS) has decreased by 3.8bn reais ($1.1bn; Â£724m).
Zika outbreak: What you need to know
According to the Brazilian constitution, citizens are entitled to free healthcare through its SUS healthcare system.
However, in recent years, it seems that the government has been failing to meet this constitutional right as it has come under increasing financial pressure.
Jose and Maria Stabelini are a married elderly couple living in the municipality of Santo Andre in Sao Paulo state.
For years, they have relied on Brazil's universal healthcare system and its pharmacies to obtain the medications they need to treat Mr Stabelini's diabetes and Mrs Stabelini's Alzheimer's disease.
In the past, they would simply travel to their local SUS hospital and present the necessary paperwork to receive their medication free of charge.
But since 2013, they have not been able to get their medication there.
An official at Sao Paulo's Department of Health said the bureaucracy involved in buying the medication and delayed deliveries from drug manufactures were to blame.
SUS pharmacies in Sao Paulo have not been provided with a steady supply of high-cost drugs by the Ministry of Health in the capital, Brasilia, leading to a backlog of patients waiting for their medication.
The result is that even the SUS pharmacies in Sao Paulo, one of Brazil's wealthiest states, can provide only the most common medications for free.
The more complex and expensive medications that the Stabelinis need are beyond SUS pharmacies' means.
Faced with this situation, their daughter Tania was forced to step in and help.
"To obtain medicine for my parents, I have to take the time to do research on the internet to see where the cheapest medicines are available [in private pharmacies]," she says.
"Then, myself, my brother and sister divide up the costs and travel to get them."
The Stabelini children have ended up having to pay for the parents' medicines out of their own pocket at private pharmacies, which they say has imposed a considerable financial burden on them.
Tania says they are not the only ones facing this problem.
"Because of the shortage of medicine through SUS, people are getting used to searching for medicine all over the place, for affordable medicine, which is often difficult to find.
"They search and if they find it, they buy it. At times many are unsuccessful."
In order to avoid facing the same problems as her parents one day, she has decided to get private health insurance for herself.
But this is a costly option out of reach to most of Brazil's poor.
And Tania has little hope that the situation will improve. "I'm not optimistic, the government needs to invest more resources into SUS," she says.
Because access to medicine is a constitutional right in Brazil, some Brazilians have gone to court to force the state government to give them the medication that they need.
While the number of such lawsuits has increased in recent years, it is clearly a last resort for most.
And it is not just high-cost medication that there is a shortage of. There is also a lack of doctors and nurses working in the universal healthcare system.
Low pay and long hours in the SUS' primary care sector mean many medical staff opt instead for more lucrative salaries in the private sector.
With the spread of Zika and the extra demands the virus has made on Brazil's underfunded healthcare system, the government is at further risk of not meeting its citizens' constitutional rights to essential medicines and healthcare.
If Brazil is to re-emerge as a healthy and prosperous nation, the government will have to make tackling this problem one of its priorities.


Pedro Caixinha says he is relishing the challenge of taking his Rangers side to face in-form Aberdeen on Sunday.

The Ibrox outfit are third in the Premiership, 12 points adrift of the second-placed Dons, who have won 10 home matches in a row.
Caixinha accepts Rangers must win to have any hope of finishing second.
"Everybody says we are going to hell and I like those type of scenarios," said Caixinha, who has won one and drawn two matches as Rangers boss.
With passions often running high when the two sides meet, the Portuguese coach is preparing his men for a battle.
"Football is about challenges," he said. "The history of football started with two cities fighting until they take the ball from one specific place and you can score one goal. Those moments were really violent and that's the nature of football.
"We need to be clever, we need to have the right attitude and approach and grow with that old-style environment.
"It's a game that we must win if we want to finish second, definitely. And it's also the first of the last seven fixtures."
Caixinha, who joined the Ibrox side from Qatari club Al Gharafa, reckons the remaining games of the season will tell him plenty about the character and attitude of his charges.
"The players need to see this game and all the games until the end (of the season) as challenges," he said. "That's the way I see life.
"If I didn't see the chance to be here as Rangers manager as a challenge, maybe I would be in the sun now in Qatar enjoying my wages.
"I came here for the challenge and I want the players to have that feeling as well, because representing Rangers is about being challenged, all day long, day by day, your entire life."
Injury problems, particularly in defence, have hampered Caixinha in his early days at Ibrox.
But the 46-year-old knows he is already under the microscope, and insists that is a situation he is comfortable with.
"If you work for Rangers, you are judged all the time," he said. "It's one more challenge we are going to be judged on.
"We need to act like that and know that and we need to have pride in that. If we are not under those conditions to be judged all the time, we are doing nothing here.
"We are Rangers and we need to assume it, and we need to have strong character and personality."


Business Secretary Sajid Javid says: "Figures that have been released today show that 1.2 million SMEs (small and medium enterprises) are involved in exports to the European Union."

The Claim: 1.2 million small and medium businesses are involved in exports to the European Union.
Reality Check verdict: This figure is based on imperfect data which means assumptions have been made, some of which are open to challenge. The definition of "involved" includes firms anywhere on the supply chain of an exporter, which is why the figure is so high.
This is an estimate that comes from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills. These figures were released on Monday last week so as not to contravene the civil service regulations about what may be released in the month before the referendum.
The first thing to say is that the government is not claiming that all of these businesses export to the EU - it says 400,000 of them are actual exporters and the rest are suppliers to companies that export, or suppliers to companies that supply companies that export and so on down the supply chain.
The figure for businesses exporting to the EU is a considerable increase on the 200,000 used by Britain Stronger in Europe earlier in the campaign.
These are difficult figures to calculate, because large numbers of very small businesses are not registered because they do not have any employees and are too small to be above the threshold for VAT.
To be registered for VAT you need to be selling at least Â£83,000 of goods or services.
The figures for the proportion of companies that export come from the Office for National Statistics Annual Business Survey, which does not include unregistered businesses. As a result, the government has assumed that the same proportion of unregistered businesses export as the smallest registered businesses. This seems like a big assumption to make because surely having no employees or having a turnover of less than Â£83,000 a year would be expected to make a business less likely to export.
The survey also doesn't cover Northern Ireland, so this research assumes that firms in Northern Ireland behave in the same way as those elsewhere in the UK.
So the final estimate is that 8% of small and medium-sized businesses export to the EU and another 15% of businesses are involved in their supply chains.
The latest figures from 2015 found that there were 5.4 million private sector businesses in the UK, 23% of which is 1.24 million.
There are also assumptions in the methodology that would depress the estimate of the number of businesses involved, such as that businesses are assumed to sell either to consumers or to other businesses, but not both.

Ex-Shropshire skipper Richard Oliver is to return to play Minor Counties cricket this summer after turning down an offer to stay with Worcestershire.

The 26-year-old opening batsman left New Road at the end of last season after rejecting a new deal.
Instead of a commitment to winter training in Worcester, he opted to play grade cricket in Australia for his adopted club side Geelong.
But he is back in England and will play for Shropshire in the Unicorns Trophy.
The first of their four group games is on Sunday, 24 April against neighbours Herefordshire at London Road, Shrewsbury.
Oliver, who made two first-class centuries for Worcestershire in 2014 after making an exciting breakthrough in T20 cricket while still with Shropshire, has received interest over the winter from other first-class counties.
"It's the right place at the right time for me," said Oliver, who will play under Steve Leach, younger brother of Worcestershire vice-captain Joe Leach.
"It's going to be great to go back and play for Steve Leach. He was very loyal to me when I was captain, so I can hopefully be in a position to repay some of the loyalty he gave me and make sure we progress through the group stages.
"I presume that availability's going to be good for the one-dayers. If we can emulate some of the success I've had with Shropshire in the past, that will be fantastic."
Shropshire have also signed fast bowler Alex Wyatt for the 2016 season, following his release by Leicestershire last summer.
They also brought in former Yorkshire and Derbyshire left-arm spinner David Wainwright in December.


US golf legend Arnold Palmer has visited the site of his company's first golf course in Scotland.

The Arnold Palmer Group is collaborating with Castle Stuart Golf Links on the building of the course near Inverness.
It will complement the existing Castle Stuart course on the Moray Firth.
Palmer, 85, said: "When it comes to locations we'd like to work, Scotland has always been at the top of our list."
He added: "Needless to say the bar is set pretty high. Accordingly, we've been careful not to jump at the first opportunity to come along, deciding instead to wait on the right project."
It is understood the course could cost Â£5.5m to construct.
