UPDATED Gov. Paul LePage sent the troopers to the Fort Kent, Maine home of Kaci Hickox, 33, after the town's police chief said he would not restrict her movements. LePage did not say whether she faced arrest but state officials have said they will 'take additional measures' to ensure she has no public contact. His comments came as Hickox (main), who was first put in a quarantine tent by Chris Christie when she arrived from Sierra Leone last Friday before she went with her boyfriend to Fort Kent (top right and bottom right), said she will fight the 'appalling' rules because she is 'perfectly healthy'. However, her arrival to the tiny town has sparked panic. The local hospital said patients are canceling appointments - even though she's be nowhere near it and Facebook pages have been set up on which people have called her 'selfish', 'un-American' and 'unprofessional'.

Nurse Hickox, I keep being assured, is one of the most selfless human beings on Planet Earth. On the podium of public opinion right now she'd probably give Mother Teresa a run as Greatest Nurse in History. Really? Let's consider some hard facts. She has just returned from Sierra Leone, one of the most Ebola-ravaged countries in the world. More than 4,000 people have contracted the virus there so far, of whom 1,341 have died. It is estimated 5 people an HOUR are currently being infected and that rate is doubling every 20 days.

Real life Baywatch hunk Michael Newman (right) has given a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of the 1980s TV hit. The former LA lifeguard actually starred in a never-before seen 'teaser tape' that was used to sell Baywatch to TV chiefs, which today he unveils to MailOnline. Now 59, Michael was a regular stand-in for David Hasselhoff (right) because of the star's 'chicken legs' - and even taught Baywatch bombshell Pamela Anderson (inset) to run on the beach. 

Corvettes that were once part of an artist's storied collection, but became dusty and fell into disrepair are being restored. The collection includes thirty-six sports vehicles that were released consecutively from 1953 to 1989 and once belonged to artist Peter Max. Max sold the cars to members of the Heller family this summer, who will eventually sell the vehicles in an auction. The artist once planned to use the cars in his artwork, but those plans fell through. Instead, the Corvettes collected dust in various New York City parking facilities for 25 years.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Simon Parry confronted a dog meat trader in Vietnam over the slaughter of family pets for food - then the trader taunted him by calmly pulling two dogs out of a cage and knifing them before throwing them alive into a vat of boiling water to loosen the fur for skinning. Traders never kill dogs on the street in broad daylight and the brutality of the act shows the enormity of the task facing campaigners against the dog meat trade.

The strangely captivating video follows the orthadontic treatment of an 11-year-old girl who was treated at Kesling & Rocke Orthodontic Group in Westville, Indiana. It shows how her teeth move down and into more uniform positions, as the wire straightens across her braces. People wear braces for cosmetic as well as structural reasons, such as correcting their bite and repositioning crooked teeth.They are able to move teeth by applying pressure on them. While braces may be seen as a modern 'extra' when it comes to health and dental treatments, there is evidence that ancient people wrapped metal bands around their teeth in a bid to strengthen them.

John Spinello, 77, (pictured right, and left with his wife Madeline) invented the board game in 1964 when he was a student at the University of Illinois and sold the rights to toy designer for $500.

NEW New video of the $200m Orbital Sciences Antares rocket blowing up six seconds after leaving the launchpad in Wallops, Virginia has emerged. Engineers said they have 'no early indications' of what went wrong. A full investigation into the launch was underway today, with Orbital sciences working with Nasa and the FAA to find the cause of the explosion. The investigation is expected to focus on fact the Antares rocket that blew up on the launchpad on its way to the International Space Station last night was using a 40-year-old Russian engine of a similar design to those used during the Soviets' disastrous attempts to beat America to the moon in the 1960s,

So far multiple tips from people have turned up nothing, police said.

Kevin Jones, pictured inset, is the type of dad you really don't want to mess with. After catching his little girl sneaking behind his back and lying about her age, he taught her a very public lesson. The father from Louisville, Kentucky, made a shirt announcing his daughter was 10 and in the fifth grader, put barrettes and bow bows in her hair, gave her a princess back pack and sent her off to school. Photos of what he did that were put to Facebook, pictured left and right, quickly went viral, with parents from all over commending Mr Jones' decision and hailing him a good father.

In a country as highly populated as China, examples of noteworthy driving are not difficult to find. But there were two incidents this month that highlight unlikely extremes in the act of parking a car. While one man was filmed effortlessly squeezing his large 4x4 into a space only a few inches larger than his vehicle (top and bottom left), CCTV footage showed another making a complete hash of reversing out of a parking bay - crashing into the neighbouring vehicle a staggering 15 times (top right) before speeding off (bottom right).

The pictures, taken at the Istvantelek train workshop near Budapest, are a snapshot of a bygone era, with huge locomotives standing in a crumbling shed that is slowly being reclaimed by nature. Among the decaying carriages are trains that look identical to those used by the Nazis to transport nearly 440,000 Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz between May and July 1944.

Josh Sundquist, 30, who in the past has dressed as a gingerbread man with a missing leg, the leg lamp from 'A Christmas Story', and a flamingo, turned himself into a human Foosball player.

Gawker's SPLOID visited a KFC kitchen and found the chicken chain has a relatively straight-forward way of cooking its birds, starting with an inspection of the meat, before it gets brined, breaded and fried. Using a 'pressure fryer,' the cuts are fried in a little over 10 minutes.

New Yorker Yousuke Ozawa (pictured inset), 34, spent a week picking out 26 buildings which looked like letters of the alphabet and brought them together to make his own original font.

Artist Alejandro Almaraz created the images in his series by overlapping between four and 40 photos of successive heads of state, procured over "many, many hours at the library." s. Each portrait in this series is composed of a large number of official portraits of global leaders, translucently layered into a single composite. The aesthetics of official portraits of world leaders are no accident. As Alejandro Almaraz demonstrates in his series, "Portraits of Power," they're precisely constructed compositions, created with the intention of reinforcing the authority of their subjects.From left, all the presidents of the Russian Federation from 1991 to 2008, All the presidents of the United States from 1960 to 2008 (center) and on the right, all the prime ministers of the United Arab Emirates (1971-2008)
