Mexico's Fatima Bosch, who walked out on organisers, crowned Miss Universe
BANGKOK — Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch has been crowned the new Miss Universe in Thailand on Friday — marking the end of an exceptionally scandal filled pageant season.The 25-year-old contestant had earlier in November walked out of a pageant event after an official publicly berated her in front of dozens of contestants and threatened to disqualify those who supported her.A week after, two judges resigned, with one of them accusing organisers of rigging the competition.Miss Universe, founded in the US, is one of the longest-running beauty pageants on the planet.

La Pascaline, the first mechanical calculator
Paris court blocks auction of earliest-known calculator
PARIS — One of the world's first calculating machines will not go to auction as scheduled in France, after a Paris court provisionally blocked the historic item from being exported.Auction house Christie's has confirmed it will not proceed with bidding for the machine La Pascaline, developed by the French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1642.Valuations suggested the machine could fetch €2 to 3m (£1.7m to £2.6m).
