Past studies in rats have revealed that the Brazilian wandering spider's venom works by causing nitric oxide to be released in the brain This chemical leads to a biochemical cascade that ends in the

School in the 1950s the painter developed her own method of action painting; influenced by Jackson Pollock; her groundbreaking “soak-stain” paintings were created by pouring thinned paint onto untreated canvas the medium of paint appears to merge with the ground Frankenthaler continued to develop her own style that was in turn influential on a movement later known as color field painting Her paintings are often large-scale and brightly colored The artist saw painting on paper as a field of experimentation synonymous with her paintings on canvas The show features 74 works on paper

prison - paving the way for his future release after 15 years behind bars Fritzl, 88, told a court in Austria today he deeply regretted locking his daughter Elisabeth in an underground cellar and that he had dealt with the crimes “intensely” He is said to have struggled to hear judges deliver their verdict which will see Fritzl moved from the high-security wing of Stein prison to a traditional wing They ordered he must continue regular therapy sessions which are said to have helped “rehabilitate” the rapist and killer Fritzl was sentenced to life in prison in 2009 after locking his daughter in the basement of his home in Amstetten for 24 years and fathering seven children with her But he could be released to serve the rest of his sentence in a nursing home after developing dementia The result means Fritzl can now launch another application within a year for his release to a care home. The hearing was held in a courtroom instead of a prison office, where early release applications are generally heard. Court chief Ferdinand Schuster told The Sun: “This case was heard in the court as it is of great interest to the media and the public. “It’s impossible to predict the future but maybe within a year another application can be made.” The monster was pictured arriving at Landesgericht District Court in a police van at 7.20am It comes after he was seen visiting local cafes near his prison in Krems an der Donau just weeks before his release told The Sun before the hearing: “We are planning to get him released from the prison he is currently in and we need to get him moved to a normal prison so that he can be released into a nursing home “We have a new psychiatric report that says he is not a danger to anyone “There was a report that he was out having a coffee but this is not true — because the first thing he would do when he is released is have an Austrian beer “He wants to get on with the process — and he is very confident “He says it’s in God’s hands but also my hands.” Ms Wagner added: “He expects the hearing today to have a positive outcome “A new application must be submitted for this “This will happen soon because I am convinced that he dealt very intensively with his actions - like completing therapy and so forth - and he also regrets them very much.” The sick monster will become eligible for parole in March of this year under Austria's lenient sentencing laws inmates deemed ready for parole can be freed depending on their conduct and mental and physical condition Fritzl kept his daughter Elisabeth captive in a newly-built cellar complex The evil dad drugged and abused his daughter raped her more than 3,000 times and fathered seven children with her The heartless monster did not hesitate to toss the bodies of the children who died at birth into a furnace Three of the children were raised in the basement by their mum while another three were brought up by sick Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie Fritzl had convinced his wife their daughter had run away to join a sect In a cruel twist, he forced Elisabeth to write letters to Rosemarie claiming she was unable to care for the kids It was only when Elisabeth's eldest daughter fell critically ill that her ordeal came to an end in 2008 Fritzl allowed Elisabeth to take the 19-year-old to the hospital She managed to speak to police revealing the horrors she had suffered throughout the years Her first words were "No one will believe me." Elisabeth’s recorded 11-hour testimony led to Fritzl's sentencing to life imprisonment Elisabeth and her children live now under adopted names after going through years of therapy is believed to be living in a small flat in Linz - around 30 miles from the former Fritzl home Fritzl's physical and mental health has deteriorated In an exclusive interview with The Sun through his lawyer last year Fritzl claimed he would see his family again one day He also said he wanted to live to 130 and he was confident he would be able to do so if he drinks enough water The twisted dad asks his daughter Elisabeth to help him install a door in his cellar in 1984 She agreed and moments later she is drugged with an ether-soaked towel She would spend the next 24 years locked up in the hellish prison in Amstetten Evil Fritzl went on to rape her over 3,000 times in rat-infested bunker He would beat and kick her and force her into degrading acts - including re-enacting scenes from violent porn films Elisabeth gave birth to seven babies in the cellar with no medical care Stefan (1990) and Felix (2002) were left to live with their mum in the underground hellhole (born 1992) Monica (1994) and Alexander (1996) - were raised upstairs by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie after he convinced her they were left on the doorstep by Elisabeth Alexander's twin Michael died shortly after birth with cruel Fritzl tossing his body in an incinerator The family's nightmare sees Fritzl threatening them if they dare to escape and punishing them by switching off the electricity Their nightmare comes to an end when Kerstin fell critically ill in 2008 Fritzl allowed Elisabeth to take her to the hospital where she revealed the shocking horrors she had suffered Despite trying to argue he was trying to be a protective father, Fritzl was sentenced to life in prison in 2009 Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes.

house grievous assault and 3,000 instances of rape Fritzl has been held in a jail for the mentally ill who pose a high degree of danger in Krems some 80 kilometres (50 miles) northwest of Vienna The Krems regional court approved Fritzl's application to be moved to a regular jail -- the first step to eventually seeking a release "The court came to the conclusion that he is no longer dangerous" based on a new psychiatric report which can still be appealed by prosecutors The court heard the case of Fritzl -- one of Austria's most notorious criminals who has since changed his name -- behind closed doors with a throng of media gathered outside the building Fritzl was brought to the court in a police van that entered a garage at the back and was led inside without being visible to the public Fritzl locked his daughter in the family's cellar in 1984 Fritzl kept her in the basement in Amstetten which resulted in the birth of seven children The case came to light when one of the surviving children became ill and had to be hospitalised His neighbours and his wife Rosemarie and children living upstairs with him said they had no inkling of Fritzl's double life and the unimaginable horrors that played out in the warren of windowless Elisabeth and her surviving children have taken on new identities and moved to an undisclosed location Wagner insisted Thursday that Fritzl was "deeply remorseful" for what he has done "He thinks about what he did day and night," she said he would've served seven years less than his daughter Elizabeth spent in his basement dungeon Von den zuständigen Behörden sei „trotz umfangreicher Suche bis dato keine Spinne gefunden“ worden In an awe inspiring story of giving back to society a former student of the Keta Senior High Technical School (KETASCO) and currently the Director of Sports of the Sports Directorate University of Ghana Legon has fulfilled a long desire of making a significant contribution to his alma mater with the official commissioning of a sports court named after him (Dr Bitugu is the current Chairman of The International Scientific Network for Sport for Development and Peace He has served and continues to serve in various international roles as an academic (University of Innsbruck He also worked and continues to work as an expert and consultant for the UN the Government of Ghana and selected African and European NGOs and institutions Bella has had a passion to come back to his roots and give back to the society that helped shape his early beginnings This was a crowning moment of years of hard work and perseverance The multipurpose court is first of its kind in Ghana for a second cycle institution in terms of size purpose and funding worth an estimated GH 167,000 Bitugu Multipurpose Sports Court was constructed with funds from the Austrian Ministry of Sports Saviour Badohu and other individuals from the 76 and 83 Old Student Unions the headmaster of Keta Secondary School Mr Charles Agbakey expressed his gratitude to all who had contributed to the success of the project “I want to express our sincere gratitude to Dr Bella and all other contributors who made sure that this project did not stall,” he said could not hide his elation at the completion of the project having spent much time and energy on it “At long last the battle is over and Ketasco has overcome an infrastructural deficit The project was made much bigger than originally projected which meant more funds were required it was revealed to the admiration of all that the court had been named after Dr Bitugu played a pioneering role in the construction of the court directly and indirectly sourcing for the necessary funding for the project It was announced that the Ministry of Sports Austria had contributed about 80 per cent of the total cost of the project while some groups and individuals had also made some contributions whose names are acknowledged on the official plaque in front of the court Bella rolled back the years and told the gathering about his early beginnings at Keta Quao House…Sports is supposed to bring people together and create a holistic and well fashioned person for tolerance focus and perseverance,…qualities hardly taught in the classroom” he said to wild applause from the student body I started by contributing in various forms to the school including books I think we should give back to where we came from I want to say thank you to my juniors and seniors “I am here to tell you that the court is ready to be used I am very happy and this journey was a very long journey Please note also that schools around as well as the community also have the right to use the court The school management should design a procedure for outsiders to have easy access to the court.” Spurred on by their latest infrastructural addition some students of KETASCO took to the court to showcase their skills in a special handball contest Bitugu urged them to “Become the champions of basketball tennis and allow others from outside to use the court so Keta becomes a base to showcase Development through Sports… And he had a special message to the Austrian Ministry of Sports with whose support the project materialized “I want to thank the Austrian Ministry of Sports Vienna and all the people involved in getting us here,” he said Bitugu Multipurpose Sports Court is well equipped to host the major indoor events such as basketball The entire South Zone Schools and Colleges Sports Association and Volta Region stand to benefit from the use of the facility It appears the commissioning of the facility has come at the right time to solve a major infrastructural deficit and hundreds if not thousands of school children would benefit from the use of the Dr Bitugu
