Dear Mr Betts

Many thanks for getting in touch with us about Vanessa Feltz's programme, 10 August 2016.

Sorry to learn you were unhappy with the item on so-called cupping therapy.

We gave accounts from practitioners, athletes and sceptics (who said it was as beneficial as "having leeches applied to your skin") - we sought input from the listeners in case it hadn't worked for them. Charlie from Southampton spoke clearly about it being 'pure nonsense' and questioning where the toxins go in the cups. Adam also took part in the show, challenging the claims made by the practitioner and referring to it as 'quackery' questioning where the "evidence of any scientific plausibility" was. Also it was clear from Peter's account that his previous persistent pain hadn't been resolved by his previous cupping treatment at all. Individual experiences were heard of, but we didn't draw any universal conclusions from them.

The practice has attracted much attention and the piece sought to explain simply what it involves. It w

Paid content pass specification proposal

Paid content makes up a significant portion of the content available online, especially high value content. Users who are seeking information via search engines frequently run queries for which the most relevant content is to be found from payment-required sources. However, in order that search crawlers are able to index this content, paid content publishers typically permit such crawlers to access their pages as if the crawler were a paid-up subscriber. As a result, search results displayed to users of search engines can create the expectation of free content and disappointment or frustration when the user is denied access.

To date, search providers have attempted to solve this problem by requiring content owners to make content available to searchers in the same form as it is available to the crawler, when a searcher clicks on a search result, a practice known as "First click free". In most cases it is a breach of the search provider's terms of service to bar se
