Dating Site Uses DNA Swabs To Find Matches
A website which uses DNA swabs to determine a romantic match has received hundreds of thousands of dollars of new investment.
SingldOut has closed a $600,000 (£372,000) seed round - bringing to a close a six-month beta testing phase of the site. The site's users are asked to take a swab of DNA which is then sent back. Partner company Instant Chemistry then looks at specific parts of the genetic code to help determine romantic compatibility between users. It focuses on the three genes within the Human Leukocyte Antigen system which play a role in biological compatibility, the pheromones we release and the makeup of our immune system.

Tesco Faces Criminal Probe Over Profits Crisis
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has launched a formal criminal probe into Tesco's accounting crisis that led the UK's biggest retailer to overstate profits by £263m. The news was confirmed by both the supermarket chain and SFO, hours after Sky News revealed details of the investigation, which will be held in addition to an inquiry by the accounting watchdog. The City regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), said that it was to discontinue its own probe because of the SFO's decision. The SFO's investigation, while not entirely unexpected, adds to the sense of crisis at Tesco. The company, which has lost more than half its value during the last year, has been hit by unprecedented boardroom turmoil, with the chairman, Sir Richard Broadbent, planning to quit next year.

Italy: Paedophile priest hangs himself in church vestry
An Italian priest who recently admitted to “grave acts” on a teenage girl hanged himself in the vestry of his church, it’s emerged. It came on Tuesday only moments before a bishop came to announce the priest’s side-lining, announced the diocese of Trieste, in north-east Italy. Maks Suard, 48, had told Trieste’s bishop – during a telephone conversation days earlier – of historic acts on a 13-year-old girl, according to AFP. He then asked His Grace Giampaolo Crepaldi for two days to prepare a letter begging forgiveness to God, the Church and the victim, reported the news agency. But, when the bishop arrived on Tuesday (October 28) afternoon to officially notify the priest of his firing from the parish, he found him hanged in the church’s vestry.The Trieste diocese asked in a statement that people pray for the soul of the priest. The diocese also expressed regrets that the case could not follow its “canon and judicial path” which could have brought the priest “a human and Christian recovery desirable in the respect of the laws”.
