When a team of animal welfare workers in India found this poor dog he was stuck to the ground and unable to move after falling into a vat of hot tar.

But after three hours of gently massaging vegetable oil into his skin, the team from Animal Aid Unlimited were delighted to see the pooch back on his feet and healthy again.

Happy October everyone.

Works to lay the ground for the construction of a racing circuit to Formula 1 standards will begin by the end of the year near Patra in the northern Peloponnese, the president of Racetrack Patras SA, Evangelos Floratos, told Kathimerini.

While the track is not seen entering the F1 calendar, it will offer very competitive rates for manufacturers to conduct tests.

Dracula might be a fictional character, but archaeologists believe they've found the haunts of Vlad the Impaler--the real-life figure who inspired Bram Stoker's vampire tale.

The researchers said this week they had uncovered a secret tunnel and two dungeons in Tokat Castle in northern Turkey, where Vlad the Impaler is believed to have been imprisoned in the mid-1400s.
