Anton Pilipa trekked across two continents, walking mostly barefoot with just the clothes on his back, after he disappeared from his Vancouver home in 2012. His family spent years desperately searching for the former humanitarian worker, who suffers from suspected schizophrenia, and had almost given up hope when they got a call out of the blue. A Brazilian cop spotted Pilipa, who she initially mistook for a beggar, shuffling down a dirt track in bare feet, and dirty, unwashed Bermuda shorts and a vest. He had no passport, without without any form of identification.

A massive genome-wide study in the United States has revealed a 'historical portrait' of post-colonial population patterns across the country. In the study, researchers identified 'clusters' - or genetic communities - using data from more than 770,000 people born or currently living in the US. The study highlights the ancestral origins and migration patterns for specific groups to reveal the many different genetic communities Americans belong to. The map above shows the distribution of ancestral birth locations associated with these clusters.

Malnourishment is not something we associate with our pampered 21st century lifestyles. But few women reach their mid-40s in a nutritionally good place. Published studies conducted by nurses and nutritionists have discovered that, by the end of their childbearing years, up to 80 per cent of women have inadequate levels of magnesium. Many are also low in iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin D and essential fatty acids. To cure crow's feet try cheese and almonds, for cracked lips try potatoes and fortified cereals, for red skin try yoghurt, for dry skin try liver and sweet potatoes, for dandruff try eggs and wholegrains, and for thinning hair try citrus fruit.

Madonna has confirmed the adoption of twin sisters from Malawi with a picture on Instagram. Her new twin daughters are 'very happy' and 'very excited' as boarded the private jet to their new life in America, their government guardian has revealed. The new family jetted out under the cover of darkness, pictured bottom, just hours after the ruling. Malawian orphans Stella and Esther, four, pictured above with Madonna, walked hand in hand with the 58-year-old star out of court yesterday after a judge yesterday approved her application to become their mother. Court appointed guardian Dominic Misomali told MailOnline: 'You could see the love she had for them in her face and she was already a mother to them. The girls are very happy and very excited about what is happening to them.' Madonna had been trying to adopt the girls for two years and made previous visits to the nation to visit them.

Vogue magazine has been accused of digitally altering the new cover featuring supermodels Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Ashley Graham. The March issue claims to celebrate beauty of 'all types' and also features fellow models Adwoa Aboah, Liu Wen, Vittoria Ceretti, and Imaan Hammam. But social media users claimed Gigi's hand, which is placed near Ashley's waist, looks unusually long.

The 45-year-old former It girl revealed in November she had been receiving treatment for a non-malignant growth in her pituitary gland. Police were called to a flat near Earl's Court shortly before 2pm British time and found the former model dead. Her family have been told. Palmer-Tomkinson rose to fame in the 1990s as a party-loving socialite in London's celebrity circle.

Ivanka Trump's beleaguered fashion brand has taken another kicking after the bosses of TJ Maxx and Marshalls demanded stores throw out her advertisements and take down her special displays. Last week workers at the chains - which are both owned by TJX Companies - were told that her products would no longer hold pride of place in the stores (the picture on the right dates from December, before the memo was sent and was posted by a #GrabYourWallet supporter). 'Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into [other products on the racks],' the note, leaked to The New York Times, read. 'All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded.' It's yet another blow for the socialite's business, which has already been dropped entirely by a string of retailers, including luxury chains Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, as a major anti-Trump boycott continues.

A number of political commentators, celebrities and even a Democratic congressman tweeted about the president's use of the term 'EASY D' in a tweet he sent out this morning.

The decision to shutter the fund came just a few weeks after Clinton lost the election to president Donald Trump.

Two-time MVP Steph Curry (pictured right) is almost as famous for staying out of politics as he is for his game - but when the CEO of his sponsors, Under Armour, came out in favor of Donald Trump he couldn't keep silent. On Tuesday Kevin Plank (left), whose company is paying Curry $4 million a year until 2024, told CNN that Donald Trump was a 'real asset' for US companies. When asked what he thought of that quote on Wednesday, the usually mild-mannered athlete was shockingly up-front, telling The Mercury News: 'I agree with that description - if you remove the "et" from asset.'

Sir Tom Jones has reportedly struck up a romantic relationship with Priscilla Presley (pictured together left last month; and right with Elvis Presley in 1971).

A source told The Sun: 'Tom and Priscilla are courting. There is a spark between them but they are taking it slowly. It really is early days but they get on so well.'

Former US President Barack Obama (top row, right) has become the latest big name to enjoy Sir Richard Branson's hospitality at his personal paradise, Necker Island (inset), in the Caribbean. Necker is a party island, beloved of the celebrity hoi polloi, from Kates Moss and Winslet to ex-Baywatch star David Hasselhoff and the odd royal, global guru or head of state who fancies a freebie. Anyone, in fact, who doesn't mind sharing a hot tub with the host for obligatory selfies (pictured top with Harry Styles, far left, and Sir Richard, second right), or being snapped joshing around with him on the beach or in the water - and then seeing those photographs shared with millions. (Also pictured are: top row from left: Kate Winslet with Sir Richard and his mother Eve and Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff; bottom row from left: Princess Diana with Princes Harry and William in 1990, Mariah Carey and Kelly Brook)

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Anna Nicole Smith's mother Virgie Arthur (at left with her daughter and granddaughter Dannielynn) spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com in a poignant interview on the tenth anniversary of the Playboy's model's death.

An investigation of satellite imagery compares China's missile testing grounds and US military bases show a pattern - all of the missile tests have been aimed at destroying US carriers, destroyers and airfields in East Asia, the report said. Earlier this week, a highly accurate Chinese ballistic missile capable of threatening US and Japan bases in Asia made its latest appearance at recent Rocket Force drills. The medium-range DF-16 featured in a video posted last week on the Defense Ministry's website showing the missiles aboard their 10-wheeled mobile launch vehicles being deployed in deep forest during exercises over the just-concluded Lunar New Year holiday.

Families from all around the world have opened their albums to reveal the hilarious mishaps that occurred when they tried to get that perfect shot - and from failed proposals to hungry seagulls (inset), they certainly make for some entertaining viewing.

Three Malayan tiger cubs (left) were born on Friday at the Cincinnati Zoo. The adorable cubs are currently being cared for by staff in the zoo's nursery after their mother rejected them at birth. First-time mother Cinta's maternal instincts 'didn't kick in', according to the zoo's website. Now, nursery staffers are keeping the cubs warm (bottom right) and feeding them (top right) so the their body temperatures won't get too low without their mother's warmth. Zoo officials said it's not 'uncommon' for first-time tiger moms to reject their young and sometimes the mothers can be aggressive and even harm or kill their young. The cubs will be moved to Cat Canyon when they're weaned and no longer require constant care. Visitors should be able to see them in their outdoor habitat in early spring. There are fewer than 500 Malayan tigers left in the world. Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction, fragmentation and poaching. Cincinnati Zoo is committed to ensuring the survival of endangered tigers.
