Confectionery share of snacks eaten in the UK and Ireland 2014, by demographic
Confectionery share of total snacking occasions in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland 2014, by demographic segment
by Statista Research Department, last edited Mar 19, 2014
This statistic shows the confectionery share of snacking occasions in the United Kingdom and Ireland 2014, by demographic segment. According to the survey, 26 percent of snacks eaten by young adults were confectionery, while only 16 percent of youth (11 to 15 year olds) snacks consumed were confectionery. It should be noted that the survey used data on youth snacking occasions that was recorded by parents rather than the children themselves. Other demographic segments include those with no children, young families, established families, those now child free and those over 60.
Share of snacking occasions
12,244 snacking occasions*
* Research was conducted in two phases as follows:
Qualitative: four focus groups with 16-35 year olds in Ireland and several online discussion groups in the UK, with 56 respondents broken down by life stage and region.
Quantitative: online survey across Ireland and the UK with nationally represetative sample of 3,000 respondents, plus additional data from mums recording a 'snacking' diary for kids aged 10-15 years (= 4,886 snacking occasions).
The source states that findings between Ireland and the UK were very similar and therefore outlined figures are an average across both markets. In total the data covers 12,244 snacking occasions.

Gold nanorods (Au NRs), nanospheres and other nanoparticles display numerous superior physicochemical properties, such as resistance to oxidation and aggressive agents, strong enhancement of local electric field and high absorption coefficient in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) range. The absorption peaks of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in Au NRs are highly sensitive to their surrounding medium and to its refractive index (RI) changes. However, no applications of NRs for detecting phase transitions have been reported. Here we show that Au NRs effectively detect phase transitions of compressed compounds, liquid and solid, by measuring their RI. Owing to the direct interaction of the NRs with their surrounding medium, its subtle RI changes can be observed by the use of high-pressure absorption Vis-NIR spectroscopy. We have applied the Au NRs-based sensor for monitoring in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) the phase transitions of compressed water, its freezing to ice VI and at the subsequent solid-solid phase transition to ice VII, as well as the monotonic compression and solid-solid phase transitions in urea and in thiourea.

This is the Carzone.ie guide to the Toyota Prius.
The third generation of Toyota Prius is probably the most conventional-looking version of the Japanese company's long-serving hybrid yet. It came in a smooth, slippery, fastback five-door shape and promised diesel-like fuel economy from its mild hybrid petrol-electric drivetrain. It had a larger combustion engine than its two predecessors and was built on a new platform too, making it a more rounded proposition to live with and own than the older models.
There is just one body shape, a five-door fastback, and one drivetrain choice for the Prius: a 1.8-litre VVT-i petrol engine, accompanied by an electric motor coupled to a 1.3kWh nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The Prius, as a mild series parallel hybrid, doesn't run on electric power alone for long periods of time – instead, it uses the electric motor to supplement the petrol, occasionally coasting without the engine being on or being able to move at low urban speeds (below 50km/h) without recourse to the petrol unit. With a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), the front-wheel-drive Prius is therefore very easy to use and operate, making it particularly popular as a private hire vehicle; you'll find plenty of used Priuses which are former taxis. Trim levels throughout the years varied, with most models coming with a good range of standard equipment.
You want to seek out the Hybrid model in higher-specification trim, like Luxury, which will be a good bet as a fuss-free and low-cost family car, but watch out for mega-milers that have clearly seen service as taxis; the lower the mileage and the more equipment on a Prius, the better.
The Toyota Prius Mk3 is not a particularly exciting car, but it is worthy, reliable, spectacularly easy to drive and also good on fuel – resulting in lower tax implications. It's an ideal choice for urban commuters who can make the most of its clever drivetrain and, with a high level of mechanical simplicity – in the form of the CVT and lack of a turbocharger on the petrol engine, for example – there's little to go wrong with a Prius. As long as you like its swoopy styling, you should get on fine with the hybrid Toyota.

Compostable waste destined for landfill under UT's expired contract
Julietta Cruz
Joelle DiPaolo, News reporter
Editor's Note: This article first appeared in the November 2 flipbook.
In some University Housing and Dining locations, items placed in the "compost" bins are not currently being composted because UHD's contract expired.
UHD stopped composting in March 2020 at the end of their contract. However, in some campus dining halls, bins are still marked as compost, which some students say is confusing.
Neil Kaufman, sustainability coordinator for UHD, said because there are some waste disposal bins that encompass trash, recycling and compost, taking down the compost sign would require UHD to replace the bins altogether. The recycling and trash will still go to their designated locations and kitchen scraps from the large commissary kitchen are composted, Kaufman said, but the items in the compost bin will go to the landfill.
"It's not a great position to be in because we don't want to deceive," Kaufman said. "We're not trying to give the impression that we're composting when we're not. (The bins are) just kind of a relic."
Adrian Torres, a fifth-year government student, said he did not realize UHD stopped composting in the dining halls.
"I know COVID-19 hit faculty hard and a lot of things are being jerry-rigged right now," Torres said. "But to leave the student body in the dark about something like that is different."
Computer science freshman Henry Castillo said while he understands the reasons the University cannot compost, they should at least update the signage.
"It's misleading that the label says compost … but I think it's their decision whether or not they want to compost," Castillo said. "Obviously I would prefer that they do compost, but if they don't, they could at least change the label to let you know what's actually happening."
Kaufman said UHD is hoping to reintroduce composting this spring and add it to their contract with a current University service provider.
"We're trying to (bring back composting) in a way that reflects the urgency of the need for sustainable waste management but is also within the guidelines of the university," Kaufman said.
Torres said he hopes that with the new contract, composting can go back to the way it was when he was a freshman.
"I remember my first day eating in this cafeteria, I saw all the different types of bins and I was thrown for a loop," Torres said. "I had to have someone explain to me the composting thing, so it's really nice to see that they care enough to make that difference or to have that option."


Ozone Therapy is the use of medical grade ozone, a highly reactive form of pure oxygen, to create a curative response in the body. When a body is "sick," the potential for healing, renewal and regeneration is blocked. Ozone provides the body the potential to renew, regenerate and heal. The reactive properties of ozone stimulate the body to remove many of these impediments, allowing the body to do what it does best – heal itself.
Ozone Therapy has been used in Europe for over fifty years. It was even used here in the United States in a limited capacity in the early part of the 20th century. There are professional medical ozone Therapy societies in over ten countries worldwide. Recently, the International Scientific Committee on Ozone Therapy (ISCO3) was formed to help establish standardized scientific principles for ozone Therapy.
Ozone causes release of growth factors stimulating damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate.
Ozone can greatly enhance the benefit of other treatments such as chiropractic, acupuncture, etc.
– ozonated saline or blood is injected into muscle, around joints, SQ, acupuncture points, etc.
– saline can be used topically, SQ injection or IV.
– water can be ozonated and consumed or used topically.
– for joint healing called prolo-therapy/sclerotherapy.
– ozone is bubbled through the oil to create ozonides in the thickened oil end product that is stable for the life of the oil product.
The ozonides are not irritating and thus can be applied topically even to eyes!!
– for corneal ulcers and dry eye conditions.
– can eliminate deep tooth infections.
– for chronic inflammation or cystitis.
– humidified ozone and ozonides through a device designed to directly apply to ear canal. Infections and vestibular disease/vertigo.


NORWALK --A home should offer one's own private paradise, and when you're talking about 44 Yarmouth Road in Rowayton, you are talking about a property that makes you feel as if you are always on vacation. It can be yours for $4.35 million.
Nicknamed "The Point," the Custom Colonial was built on a private peninsula on Bell Island and offers glorious views of the Long Island Sound, as well as a sandy beach, dock and two-and-a-half car garage.
"The best part of the whole house is its location," says Bruce Baker, the listing agent and real estate professional for William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty, Darien. "As you go across the Bell Island Bridge, you look left and you see the house. Every room has a water view and you can see the sunrise and sunset. There's a real romance to it."
The exceptional beach front residence blends unsurpassed quality with unique antique finishes and treatments from all over the world, including Brazilian rose wood floors, handmade Moorish tiles from Seville and early American industrial lighting, antique doors and newel posts.
Built in 2007 by a developer and entrepreneur who wanted to create something special, the iconic property offers 5,000 square feet with five bedrooms, five baths and character in just about every room in the house.
"It's a little bit whimsy. For example, on the exterior, you can see the cupola from the movie 'The Stepford Wives,'" Baker says. "The town fathers of New Canaan didn't want the cupola of their Town Hall to be used in the movie so they made another one, and the owner bought it when the film was done to put on his house."
The master bedroom includes antique doors, a fireplace mantle from the Southport estate of Jack Welch, antique, extinct Brazilian rosewood wide board flooring and a matched set of antique floor to ceiling mirrors. It also offers his and her walk-in closets, custom-made self-closing clothing drawers and cabinetry, and an Alice-in-Wonderland thru the looking glass storage safe.
A wine room is located on the main floor of the house, separated by an antique Indonesian Monastery passage door. Inside, it includes hand-crafted walnut wine storage racks for more than 400 bottles, 18th century antique floor tile inlays from Spain, a vintage 'art deco' chandelier to match sconces and antique nautical brass wall scones.
On the third floor, a room that is currently the study, but could be used as a game room, offers five different quadrants, inspired by the gaming houses from South America. The Captain's Bridge, as it's called, features antique Brazilian 'Cinnamon Wood' parquet flooring, antique interior palladium doors from the Simmons Greenwich estate and hand-made fluted columns to match the second floor details.
Another unique room is the third-floor, custom-designed bell-shaped steam bath, paying tribute to its Bell Island neighbors. The spa room contains Brazilian sea-foam green marble countertops, blue xenon ceiling mood lights, a custom-built double vanity and tile warmers with programmable digital controls.
For those fearing living so close to the water, the home went through Sandy without a scratch, despite the 10 to 20 foot waves that struck Bell Island. The property is protected by the Norwalk Islands and Tavern Island, and the original owner took great strides to ensure it would stand up to any weather. He used reinforced exterior access (door and window) frames to prevent water blow-by, custom-made lead coated copper cedar storm shield shingles guards and a reinforced Rip Rap barrier and bulkhead wall surrounding the entire property.
"The owner brought in an engineer who worked on high-rise skyscrapers in Manhattan because he wanted to ensure the foundation work was solid," Baker says. "He used 32 steel pilings built on a grade beam foundation, which is a very different way of building on sand. This is solid as a rock."
Whether you enjoy seeing the activity of boats going by or just the tranquility of living on the water, 44 Yarmouth Road is Rowayton at its finest.

The U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS) has published a list featuring 20 of the most painful health conditions you can get. These conditions can be so severe sufferers are prevented from carrying out normal day-to-day tasks. According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine , millions of people across the U.S. suffer from pain every year, costing an estimated $560 billion to $635 billion annually.
Shingles normally appear as a rash or blistering on one side of the body—generally around the waist. It produces a burning or tingling pain. Around one in three people in the U.S. will develop shingles in their lifetime and there are an estimated one million cases in the country every year.
Slipped disc Representative image of back pain. A slipped disc is where one of the discs in the spine ruptures and the gel inside leaks out. It is one of the most common causes of back pain and is often the result of lifting injuries or twisting. It normally starts as severe sudden pain in the lower back that is made worse by moving, coughing and sneezing.
This can appear after an injury such as a burn, cut or fracture. It causes a burning pain that is constant and intense, and is often far worse than the original injury. The skin of the affected body part becomes extremely sensitive, so even a light touch can cause intense pain.
This is also known as Fothergill's disease . It relates to severe pain on one side of the face that comes and goes. It has been described as a shooting, stabbing and burning pain. According to the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine, women are more commonly affected than men.
Arthritis Over 54 million people in the U.S are living with arthritis. Over 54 million people in the U.S are living with arthritis . It is one of the most common chronic conditions and a major cause of work disability in the country. Arthritis causes disabling pain in the joints, most commonly in the hips, knees, wrists and fingers.
This condition causes an aching pain down the leg. It is the result of damage to the sciatic nerve, where it has been pinched or irritated somehow. This pain is different to back pain as it tends to manifest in the buttocks and legs, all the way down to the calf.
Gout is where pain and swelling emerge in a joint, often in the big toe. It can be so severe just touching the toe can be agonizing. During an attack, the joint aches and swells before becoming red hot and very painful. Attacks normally last between one and 10 days. Men and obese adults are more at risk of getting gout. Acute pancreatitis This is where the pancreas swells , causing severe and sudden abdominal pain. It can be made worse by eating fatty foods. The pain generally gets worse and travels along the back to below the left shoulder blade. It is one of the most common gastrointestinal causes for hospital admission in the U.S.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was arguably the biggest tech titan to speak at the 2017 TED conference.
During an onstage interview with TED curator Chris Anderson, Musk explained why he's focused on underground transportation (through Hyperloop and his new tunnel boring company, the Boring Company) instead of flying cars.
According to Musk, the main challenges with flying cars are that they'll be noisy and generate lots of wind because of the downward force required to keep them in the air. Plus, there's an anxiety factor.
Later in the interview, Anderson asked Musk whether other automakers were attempting to follow in Tesla's footsteps with electric vehicles. "I think almost every automaker has some electric vehicle program. Some are serious about transitioning entirely to electric," he said. "Apparently, in order to motivate BMW executives, they showed a picture of me."

AHS boys to start season, Robertson's 36th
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Andalusia boys basketball coach Richard Robertson will be entering his 36th season as the head basketball coach at AHS, and there isn't any indication that he's slowing down anytime soon, especially when the 2010-11 season is about to get under way.
For the better part of a year, and since the finals of the Class 4A South Regional tournament last February, Robertson has been making plans.
The Bulldogs will enter this season with a few players short due to the football playoffs. Despite that, Robertson said he will press on.
"Whenever the time comes, we're going to suit up and do the best we can do," he said. "I've already gone back, and made out my plan. I've already got the game plan where we played the last five ball games and put those in (for this season)."
Robertson said he is doing this to keep the current players on the team on the same page leading into the season opener against Luverne on Nov. 11.
Robertson enters his 36th season as the basketball coach at AHS, and his 46th year as a coach.
In 1965, he graduated from Alabama State University, where he played football for three years and basketball for one. Ever since then, Robertson has been at the helm of the program.
This season, Robertson will help lead the Bulldogs in Class 4A, Area 3 play. In their area, the Bulldogs will be in contests against county rival Straughn, Headland and Ashford.
On the season overall, Robertson said he's going to treat it like the other 35 seasons in his career.
"We're going to take it one game at a time," he said. "We don't have a graduated schedule. We're going to have to start off tough.
"That's all right if you expect to do anything, and we've got to play the best we've got to play," he said.

I Wasn't Looking for Love
review by Dave Franklin
Last month the wonderfully kooky Occam's Razor, a strange blend of musical whimsy and archaic philosophical referencing, caught my ear and so it seemed only natural that when Matt Saxton's latest full album saw the light of day it should make the "to do" list without hesitation. And I'm glad it did. I Wasn't Looking For Love revels that Matt isn't just about the jaunty japery, whilst he is great at charging songs with a wonderful bounce and accessibility, there is a lot more to his music than Occam's Razor first suggests.
The title track, for instance, is an emotive pop ballad, an understated paean to the night he met his wife, a song which slow burns its way towards a wonderful crescendo by gradually added depth and texture, evocative and deft musical lines and cool harmonies. At the other extreme Where Are You Now is dressed for carnival, all African infused guitar cascades, island beats and calypso grooves. The charm of the album lies in Matt's ability to take sensitive subjects, both personal and universal and express some wonderful inner truth in a new and eloquent way, whether it is reflecting on past relationships, everlasting family bonds and just the stuff of life, love, loss, longing and the like.
Musically it sits in that classic singer songwriter canon, wandering between English folk, mid-Atlantic acoustic pop and American roots influences, it even tips a natty fedora in Neil Young's direction, which is always going to get my vote. I Wasn't looking For Love balances the often overdone "guy with a guitar" vibe with some wonderful instrumentation and musical motifs, enough sonic detail and wonderful design to keep things interesting but enough space that the songs are framed perfectly.
Occam's Razor states that the simplest way forward is the simplest and in a way that is what Matt does here, the hand isn't overplayed, the music is both subtle and supple and the overall affect is chilled but engaging, something that is only possible when you have the ability to write really great songs in the first place.

An expert fusion of rock and country
Returning with his fourth album, Matt Saxton appears to be someone who has largely been kept under the radar for whatever reason, even though his talent should dictate otherwise. In any case, it appears that Saxton is now doing his utmost to not only release good music, but to establish himself as a big player within the UK country scene.
'I Wasn't Looking For Love' is his way of doing that, and hopefully this can be the breakthrough he needs to keep him very much in focus. The album is a lesson for any aspiring country music artists who like to delve into a more chunkier, distortion fuelled sound on occasion, with Saxton blending the two immensely well. Intro track 'Occam's Razor' sets the tone very well, while 'Where Are You Now' and 'I Need You' are both standout tracks from the album.
Quite what happens to Saxton now remains to be seen in the aftermath of this release, but if there's any justice, songs from this album will garner serious airplay, as this is an album that needs to be heard.
Occam's Razor
I'm always going to be a sucker for a song which mixes medieval philosophical principles with jaunty contemporary music, I can't be the only one, I like my academia but I like it groovy. And that is just what Matt Saxton delivers with Occam's Razor, a kooky little acoustic-pop number which delves into the idea of mid-life crisis and does so by way of some name dropping. But this is name dropping with a difference. No Z list celebrity references or glitterati glamourising, here the clever and the cool are the likes of Soren Kierkegaard, Jean-Paul Sartre as well as the titular Occam.
It's a lilting little number which shuffles and grooves its way through an acoustic pop-rock landscape, but is essentially about delivering the message rather than any outlandish musical adventures. That said the song is dressed with some lovely musical detail and motifs, electric guitars meander about in the middle distance and the beat keeps things bouncy and buoyant. With a full album following along very soon, Matt Saxton is certainly an artist to keep an eye on, not just for the clever references and pseudo academia that beats at its heart. At a time when music is struggling to rise above a certain lowest common denominator, it is nice to find someone who thinks about outside the box.
Review by Wolf in a Suit
Music Video Recommendation: "Where are you now" by Matt Saxton
A bit trippy, a bit old school, and a nice blend of melodies that intertwine the tunes from the past and the present in an interesting flavor of indie rock. Matt Saxtonencompasses a range of rock melodies that flow beautifully and psychedelically while strangely staying grounded and inviting. "Where are you Now" is a playful track that goes hand in hand with the music video that represents it. 2017 is starting with the right foot forward for this talented singer/songwriter from the UK as he delivers a soundscape that is both unique and refreshing to hear. With this track he marks the beginning of the flow of singles he shall deliver that will turn into an album in the future. For now simply listen, enjoy and let it transport you to his world.

Hair Related Death
As a young child, hair related death, was a topic of conversation in my maternal aunt's hair salon nestled into the basement of her South St. Louis home.
I remember sitting on the floor while my mom got her hair cut and my aunt shared a hair related death story about a women who died from complications of receiving a chemical perm.
Death By Perm
The hair related death occurred because a woman had let her husband giver her a perm. He left the solution on too long which resulted in severe scalp and skin burns. Other medical complications were triggered as a result of the severe scalp burns. The woman suffered a stroke and ultimately died.
Of course I sat silently in the shadows of the basement beauty shop and promised myself never to do anything to my strands which might lead to hair related death.
Hair on the human head is a basic covering for our scalps. It's designed to provide heat insulation, cooling and protection against ultra-violent radiation exposure. Although many people feel challenged by some aspect of their hair, most would probably not consider hair related death as one of those challenges.
While people with textured hair might long for silky straight strands and brunettes might wish to be blonde, hair related death doesn't usually play into the equation of ongoing consumer hair battles.
Hair is not as innocuous at it may seem. It can, in fact, lead to death. It happens a lot more often than most people might think.
Death From Entanglement
Famed ballerina Isadora Duncan was famous for wearing flowing scarves around her head and hair. The flowing scarves also were worn around her neck.
It's been documented that the beautiful dancer died when her flowing scarves became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle of the Amilcar she was riding in. Ultimately the tangled scarves broke her neck.
Whether Ms. Duncan was wearing scarves at the time to cover her hair or her neck, the same principle applies to hair related death when long tresses become accidentally entangled in any type of machinery.
Death By Machinery
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 1980 and 1998, occupational injury involving machinery, including falls and workers being pulled into machines by loose clothing or hair, was ranked third after motor vehicle and homicide as a cause of death.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics also monitors hair related death and has confirmed that hair becoming entangled in a wide range of equipment may cause death, scalping and facial disfigurement.
In response to the potential dangers that most people don't consider, OSHA has published regulations for how hair should be worn and secured around machinery. Employers can be held held liable for any injuries or hair related death due to improperly covered, protected or secured hair.
Death From Pool Drains
Hair related death due to entrapment or entanglement in pools, spas and hot tubs are also confirmed. Between January 1990 and August of 2004 there were twelve known incidents of drowning deaths which resulted from hair becoming entangle in drains in pools, spas or hot tubs as reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety council.
The age of the victims were between 4 and 42 the the majority of the victims being under the age of 15.
Experts believe prevention of hair related death can occur with proper eduction of parents who should make sure that their children always secure their hair before swimming or entering spas or hot tubs. The possibility of hair related death from swimming just doesn't occur to a lot of people until tragedy happens.
Home Chemical Treatment Risks
While the majority of home chemical treatments are generally considered hair related death can occur if the consumer suffers from an severe allergic reaction to the product's ingredients.
In October of 2011 the U.K.'s Daily Mail reported on the case of seventeen-year-old Tabatha McCourt from Lanarkshire, England who died in a hospital after what medics suspect was a severe allergic reaction to p-phenylenediamine, or PPD, a chemical found in permanent hair dye.
A month later, in November of 2011, a British woman reportedly collapsed into a coma while dying her hair with L'Oreal Preference hair dye.
Doctors reported a concern that she was suffering from a severe reaction to the hair dye. The case of a woman dying from an adverse reaction to the glue used in her fusion hair extensions was also reported.
Importance Of Patch Tests
Many professional hair experts strongly advise that all consumers do patch tests before undertaking any home hair coloring or chemical treatments which might prove fatal.
Of course any time there is any type of physical reaction from the application of hair dyes, chemicals or glues, a physician should be immediately called.
Death By Politics
Hair related death can occur as a result of politics. It was reported by the media that 90 students in Iraq were attacked and stoned for wearing their hair in the popular, but controversial, Emo hairstyle.
The Daily Mail reported that at least 14 of the Emo coiffed youths were killed in the capital of Baghdad for their hairstyles.
Hairstyles can also trigger bullying in some circles. Although there is no reports of death from bullying, the incidence of suicide has risen dramatically by those students bullied for their appearance or other factors.
Can their hairstyle play a part in their death? Did it cause their initial bullying? Those facts can't be quantified, but it's always a possible piece of the puzzle.
Hair Related Death By Hair Dryers
As reported by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the early 1980's there was an average of 18 electrocutions each year involving hand-held hair dryers. Most of these deaths occurred when the hair dryer fell, or was pulled, into a bathtub of water.
From 1990 through 1992, there was an average of only four electrocutions a year associated with hair care equipment.
The decrease in hand hair dryer related death occurred as a direct result of the work of the CPSC to improve the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards for hair dryers and overall consumer safety.
Death from hair dryers as of 2012 are a rare event due to the work of CPSC to provide complete protection for hand-held hair dryers by requiring all manufacturers incorporate electrocution protection into all related products.
Death By Fire
Actress Kristin Chenoweth told Ellen DeGeneres during a past visit to her show that she accidentally caught her long hair on fire when it brushed across a candle lit on the back of her toilet. The star of the ABC show "GCB" repeated the burning hair story on a recent show with Anderson Cooper.
When hair catches on fire it's no laughing matter. There have been deaths due to hair of all lengths catching on fire and resulting in serious, if not fatal burns. Hair can be even more flammable when styled with certain types of alcohol based products.
Death By Parental Neglect
Recently Brigit Hippen of Hutchinson, Kansas made national news with the hand held blow dryer death of her 2-month old daughter Karina Perez. The 20-year-old mother left a hair dryer running to warm her baby daughter on a cold night.
The mother fell asleep with the dryer perched on a counter in the bathroom where the baby's bassinet had been placed. The dryer caused the baby's temperature to reach a fatal 108 degrees.
Hair is not as innocuous as it may seem and it can lead to death in a number of instances. It happens a lot more often than most people might think.
The good news? All hair related death can be avoided by taking proper precautions around machinery, near open fire, in swimming pools and with all types of home chemical treatments.

Among the many announcements Google had on Monday was a few new features for Google Music, not to mention bringing Google Music to more countries. The Explore Similar Artists feature is now live in the Play Store, and it looks like it's only available on Tablets right now. Android Police uncovered this earlier today.
Android Police was also able to confirm that this feature is now live on several Nexus 7 devices. Now when you search for an Artist in the Music section of Google Play, you'll see a new option "explore similar artists" next to the buy button. From there you can tap on new artists and it'll expand to show you even more. It's actually pretty cool, and a easy way to get you to spend more money on Google services, which is what they want.
Today there was some talk that the Nexus 7 would be getting Android 4.2 soon - duh! It is a Nexus that is not tied to a carrier so it'll mostly likely have Android 4.2 before the end of the month. But this feature you can enjoy right now. Check it out and let us know what you think.

BECAUSE WE ARE. Copyright © 2012 by Ted Oswald.
Die to the world by renouncing the madness of its stir and bustle. God created nothing evil. It is we who brought forth wickedness.
Those who brought it about can also do away with it again.
It starts with the crowing of roosters.
Well before the Sun plods along its well-walked course, Cité Soleil comes alive.
It is a slum, you see, one caught between the ocean and Port-au-Prince. A house divided, its thirty-four sections are turf riven by inherited animosities: Project Drouillard, Cité Boston, Wharf Soleil, and Belecourt, to name a few. But the most important for our purposes, the one at the center of all the heartache to follow, is Bwa Nèf, a runt on its northern edge.
Bwa Nèf betrays its name, for it is neither a forest, nor new. You can count the trees there on your one hand. The newest building is an abandoned toilet built by Lutherans from Minnesota some years ago. To walk its streets is to see as many homes broken and empty as occupied. Memories of gang violence and war with police are some of the unpleasant tenants squatting in residents' memories.
But those days are past. This one seems to have the dull, aching appearance of any other.
to fill stomachs that do not belong to their hungry children. Several young mothers tend to new babies. Several old mothers care for ten children. Sloth means hunger pangs, and tears.
Many men wake with nothing to do. Jobs are few, and few can be humbled to do work reserved for wives, girlfriends, and daughters. Some gather with friends, huddling on the streets to provide running commentary on the life passing by. Many are industrious. They build and mend, tear down and destroy—tailors, carpenters, masons, diggers. Some are even mistaken for beasts of burden, hauling carts loaded with sodas, ice, debris, or a combination of the three to destinations known only to them.
Children who must prepare for school awaken on hard mats, old mattresses, and floors, chilled in the cool late-December morning. For those for whom school remains a dream, today feels as any other. Such a little girl might stir because her hunger demands it. Such a small boy gets up to play in the streets because he has nothing else to do.
trucks to reach work, fetching water to bathe—all cycles that have no beginning and no end.
But away from this, there are signs of a brazen act that defies the life that goes on all around.
If instead of rousing your children and wiping the sleep from your eyes you were to follow the small waterway that divides Bwa Nèf and Wharf Jeremie, you might spy something out of place among the parched grass and garbage.
If you weren't too busy as you went about buying your daily bread and greeting your neighbor along Route 9, you could barely make out what appears to be the crumpled form of a person—a woman, dark-skinned and young.
And, if you could spare the time to look more closely, you would see a small baby clutched in the woman's arms—a pale, sorrel color, and beautiful.
At some imprecise moment while the world was waking, this mother and child breathed their last.
Both are dead. Both are victims.
And if this sight was not enough to make you flee, if you lingered to watch, not long from now you would see a pretty girl and an ugly boy come upon them. And from that moment on, these children—like you—will be made victims too.
The girl carries a small black plastic bag in her hand. The boy has a burlap sack four times his width and brimming with bottles.
They cross an open expanse of mud and knee-high grass, home to none but swine and seabirds. She runs up a mound to scout the messy terrain ahead.
— Hurry up! she calls. We'll never find enough gold if I have to wait for you to catch up.
He buckles under the weight of his sack.
— This is too heavy for me alone. I need your help! You don't have a single thing in your bag.
He was sweating even though the Sun was still low.
The girl turned around and the strap of her light-fitting, sky-blue dress slipped, hardly the clothes to scavenge for beer bottles and soda cans.
The boy was better outfitted for the task: shirtless (typical of young boys) and shoeless (typical of poor boys). His denim shorts reached down past his knees, cinched with a cord around the waist. His bare feet and ankles were already caked in mud.
Her naturally sweet face turned to a scowl.
— You forget that I, my friend, am the boss of this expedition. You are merely my assistant.
The boy heaved and dropped his sack. It made a large plop as it landed in the mud, the bottles clanking.
— This is stupid, Libète. You're no boss and I'm no assistant.
The girl left her mound still scowling.
touching that bag. Look at all the mud on it! That's going to ruin my dress—I can't even touch it. No, Jak, you're only wearing rags. It doesn't matter if they get any dirtier.
— But that's not fair!
— Fairness is no part of it. We need this gold if we're going to buy our ship.
— You mean we need bottles. And we aren't buying any ship.
buying a ship. A fine one, with big sails. To get away from here, back home, back to La Gonâve. Don't spoil our fun!
— Well, I don't want any.
— You don't want any what?
Libète's face scrunched more as she stared down at Jak. She stood a full head taller than the skeleton of a boy. Though both shared the same age, ten years, he looked half that while she looked a year or two older.
— Well, what does the assistant recommend? she asked, hands on hips.
— We leave the sack here. Anything we find, we'll put in your bag and bring back to this one. That way I don't carry it all over for nothing.
She feigned displeasure at the idea and followed with a relenting sigh.
that will work. But you're only boss for a few minutes. I don't want your head getting bigger than it already is.
Jak's head did appear large atop his slight body. His whole person inflated with the new responsibility and he lifted his chin up and broadened his bony shoulders, moving to the top of the mound to peer around, shading his eyes like the Spanish explorers who first landed on these shores five hundred years ago.
— Now, he said, where to begin? We searched along that part of the water only a week ago, so there's nothing to find there. Let's head further down, toward the sea, and away from those shacks. Maybe through the reeds? Lots of trash gets caught there when the rain washes this area out.
This was wise, as there had been much rain in the last few days.
— I'm following you, boss, came Libète's reply.
Jak hopped down and set off toward the closest patch of swaying reeds. As the pair neared them, Jak came to an abrupt stop, motioning for Libète to do the same.
— What's that moving over there? You hear that rustling?
— Straight ahead. Look! The reeds just moved!
— That's the breeze, stupid.
The children paused, holding their breath. Without the scraping of his shorts and crinkling of her bag, both could hear low, guttural sounds.
— You're too scared, Jak. There's nothing out here.
With characteristic confidence, Libète crossed the threshold into the reeds and was all but submerged. Jak spied only her head peeking above their tops before she vanished entirely.
— Hold on, I'm coming! Jak hollered. And remember, I'm still the boss! The boy walked up to the edge of the reeds, breathed deeply, and was soon swallowed himself.
Where Libète could peer above them, Jak could not.
— Li–Libète? the boy stammered.
— Over here, she sounded. Jak turned in her direction. She was deeper in than he would have liked. You were right about this! she shouted. I've already found two Prestige bottles in here!
Jak could hear her body rustling in the reeds, moving further from him. He paused in a small clearing.
— Wait, Libète, don't move—let me find you! Jak could not hide his frayed nerves, his pulse's quickening. He felt an inexplicable presence, something heavy and dark.
The sounds of reeds cracking nearby grabbed him, followed by bizarre breathing that conjured images of a horrible demon crashing toward him. He stood paralyzed in his panic, only able to cry out, Libète! Libète, help!
Before he could jump out of the way, a gargantuan sow broke through the thin barrier of reeds, knocking him to the ground. The animal let loose a distempered squeal, continuing its stampede. A moment later, Libète's head broke through the wall, a smile spanning her face.
! Thank God, Jak exclaimed. I thought I was dead!
His remark rang with utmost sincerity.
Libète let loose in peals of laughter. You nearly peed yourself over a pig, boss! She extended a hand to help him up, laughing the words. Don't worry. I won't tell.
Jak wiped himself off, indignity in every motion.
— I don't need to be ashamed, he said. Did you see that thing? It was bigger than me! A monster—twice my size! I could have been trampled to death and you're here cackling like a fool!
, Jak interrupted her, his brow rigid. I think I see something.
He signaled with his head for Libète to turn around. She did, her smile fading. The sow had parted a path through the reeds permitting a line of sight to strange forms lying low in the grass.
— What's that? he murmured.
Libète saw them too. She stepped forward in complete silence, now able to distinguish the two lifeless bodies among the noise of crowding greenery. A special kind of dread cascaded through her, causing her to shudder with each step forward.
The small girl takes a step down from the large rock. The Sun has sunk low making the sky a field of fire. She stoops down to gather a handful of small stones, pebbles really, pocketing them in her pink dress. A symphony of cicadas tries to keep time to no avail and they envelop her in a blanket of rhythm-less music. She forces her eyes closed, standing erect upon the rock, letting the music's rise and fall transport her to a place other than here.
"Here" is a watering hole on the island of La Gonâve, far removed from Haiti's mainland and its towering mountains. To the girl's left is a trickling waterfall that feeds a long, spindly creek. On the right edge of the creek are her eleven goats, lapping up water furiously after a miles-long trek.
The hole is surrounded by palms, regally adorned with loose-hanging vines. They are dressed much more prettily than herself, she thinks.
. Her dress shows wear on the bottom. The lace running along its shoulders and the edge of the skirt have yellowed, its zipper no longer bringing the two sides of the back together. It's no matter, though. It was free, inherited from an unmet cousin on the other side of the island, delivered by an unfamiliar aunt when she visited some time ago. Many children wear worn clothes, her mother had once said. And when all are threadbare, then no one is.
The goats have had their fill. It's time to leave.

Help is here if you are writing Social Host Laws.
Social Host Laws are a group of criminal and civil laws targeting people who permit minors to drink alcohol on their property. Who is targeted, what is prohibited and what penalties apply vary greatly by community. Some penalize adults only, others penalize the minors. Some are clearly written, easy to understand, enforce and obey. Others are so poorly or broadly written, they verge on being unconstitutional.
At the very least, badly written laws confuse the courts, the citizenry and law enforcement which can lead to extremes in enforcement levels (low and high) and court challenges.
If you are writing or advocating for a Social Host Law, it is your responsibility to ensure it's equitably and well-written; that it upholds common evidentiary standards and that it serves the best interests of your community.
We believe that better enforcement of existing laws would be preferable to muddying the waters with a new, confusing law. After all, underage use of alcohol is at record low levels. We must be doing something right.
Just like it sounds; the latest data on underage alcohol use.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - CBS News starts a trend
My wife still watches TV, while I gag. Tonight she was watching CBS as they did a show on Catholic Priests accused of sexually assaulting little girls.
In case there's one or two members out of the thousands on this board that haven't figured this out here's what's going on:
The press has tried to cover for their friends in the gay community, by first saying these were just isolated incidents. That blew up, so then they started calling these priests pedophiles. The public are no longer rubes, and aren't buying.
Now they have decided they need to divert attention from the gays, by finding any priests that may have gone after girls. They can then claim it's not just gays that are the majority of the offenders.
The problem is, again people aren't totally stupid. They know that the epidemic in the Church is heavily gay-related.
The press is highly conflicted on this. On the one hand, they viscously despise religion in general, the Catholic Church in particular, and they want to run with this story. On the other, they want to provide cover to their gay friends.
Look for an emphasis on priest-female sex stories in the coming days, if not a sudden spate of Priest-animal sex stories.
Watching the liberal mainstream media dance to this has been predictable to this point. It's fun to watch them dangle on the end of their rope.
I was talking to my wife about this exact problem this morning. It is not heterosexual priests that are touching kids.
TheRedGoat
I've got a solution for the Catholic Church: institute an all-female clergy [;D]
Anyway, I wonder if people are going to keep picking on the Boyscouts after this whole Catholic scandal thing. Probably. Gay adoption people will say that their cause is totally irrelevant to the priest molestation problem, too.
A clergy without gender bias and allowing priests to marry would be steps in the right direction.
(These observations are from a non-Catholic and an agnostic.)
Study after study has show pedophilia is no higher among Catholic Priest than any other Clergy. This attack is aimed at breaking down the Church ban on married Priest as if as if that would have any effect on a pedophile Priest. This is the start of attacks that will start with married Priest and will not stop until the probation against abortion is knocked down. The press does not like the Church because of its stands and are using this as a point of attack. They are doing to the Catholic Church what they have been doing to the "Christian Right" for years demonizing them and painting with a broad brush. The same thing they are doing to the Boy Scouts as well.
Oh, bullshit. The priests raped anything with a hole in it. Most were little boys, but that's only because the priesthood is about 30% homos, and the ones who aren't don't care what sex the kid is.
What all you Catholic apologists don't bother to mention is that it isn't just the priests -- the whole Catholic Church hierarchy helped out in covering up the sexual abuse for decades. Bishops, cardinals, lay workers, you name it.
Maybe some of you fools will wake up after a few years of hearing about priestly childcare activities and finally quit contributing to such a corrupt bunch of twisted perverts.
One thing that really bugs the crap out of me about that "60 Minutes II" episode last night is, where are all the dead priests??
The moronic parents who were interviewed or discussed said things like, "get that priest out of here or someone's gonna kill him and it might be me!" One pair of parents even "forgave" their priest for raping their daughter over a period of several years, starting when she was about six -- he'd come over for a visit and dinner, and go up to her room and "pray" with her ("Oh, God, I'm coming!") when she went to bed.
Why didn't the guy kill the priest? The priest had buttfucked three of his four sons over a period of several years.
If/when I have kids, and if the wifey is a religion freak, I fully intend to have a little talk with the priest -- "Look, buddy, I don't give a shit about your imaginary friend up in heaven or what his rules are or that you're a priest. I'm not one of you. If you so much as touch my child in any way that I don't like -- a caress, a fondling, a rape -- I WILL kill you, without any chance for a confession or explanation or forgiveness. If I'm rushed, I'll just blast your head off, but if I can arrange some time, I will slowly carve you into bloody chunks while you scream your lungs out. Do you understand me?"

My God! The Wall Street Journal is in on the conspiracy now!

BY JOHN SHIELY

MILWAUKEE--As America's bishops gather in Dallas this week, they will confer on the troubles of their church without the official advice of the Most Rev. Rembert Weakland, until recently one of their most celebrated colleagues.
In May, the Vatican accepted Archbishop Weakland's resignation after it was revealed that he had paid $450,000 in hush money from church funds to a man who accused him of "date rape." [red][...][/red] the archbishop delivered his mea culpa at a special prayer service here. Amazingly, it was greeted with a 90-second standing ovation.
Well, I sure didn't feel like applauding. A few years ago I had an unpleasant close encounter with the former archbishop. It had nothing to do with his noncelibate waywardness, but it did show a contempt for his constituents, the kind of contempt that allows a prelate to misuse church funds, secretly defying the trust of those who had provided them.
[red][The National Catholic Reporter attacked Mr. Hiely's company, Briggs & Stratton, for moving some work overseas.][/red]
Not long after, Briggs & Stratton filed a libel suit against the National Catholic Reporter and began taking depositions. Lo and behold, we discovered that the archdiocese was a prime mover in the attack, as a reporter's notes revealed. A top archdiocesan official had spoken with the writer in an extensive interview that included polemical comments about Briggs & Stratton's layoffs and noted my Catholic affiliation. Under oath, the official denied recollecting that the interview had anything to do with Briggs & Stratton. [red][...][/red]
In another letter I confronted the archbishop with the depositions. He responded in a curious way. "I do hope you don't find yourself dragged into more and more unpleasantness . . .," he wrote to me. "The diocese has taken no personal stances concerning Briggs & Stratton and its executives and I do hope that we will not be forced to do so in any way." [red][...][/red]
These are the tactics of a man who thinks he can manipulate people, and public opinion, to his liking--and under the specious protection of secrecy and implied threats. The archdiocesan official had explained to the writer from the National Catholic Reporter--so we learned in discovery--that Archbishop Weakland often chose to pursue certain matters through intermediaries. For example, the official said, the archbishop had not wanted to get personally involved in the handgun debate, so he pursued it through the Interfaith Conference. Apparently the same tactic of activism-by-proxy was at work in our case.
Just to highlight what drew my attention: [b]For example, the official said, the archbishop had not wanted to get personally involved in the handgun debate, so he pursued it through the Interfaith Conference. Apparently the same tactic of activism-by-proxy was at work in our case.[/b]
Although you guys don't seem to (want to?) recall it, I remember the Catholic Church attacking gun ownership of both handguns and assault weapons -- the very AR-15's you supposedly own and love.
So, are you a Catholic or a gun owner?? Are you a Catholic or someone who opposes the raping of children??
It sure sounds to me like you guys want to go on in denial.
Why don't you crawl back into the sewer you slid out of.
The truth hurts, doesn't it?? I noticed you folks clammed up real fast when I actually dared to point out that the church's hierarchy was complicit in covering up decades of abuse. I believe the legal term is "accomplice after the fact", but ask a lawyer if you want to be sure.
It is truly a pity that the criminal justice system doesn't charge, try, and convict all of those bastards -- priests, nuns, bishops, cardinals, and Pope -- for what they allowed to happen to more and more children.
"Ooooh, evil CBS -- Ed Bradley actually pointed out bad things about the priests. He should be stoned to death! A witch, a witch! Burn him! Burn him!"

Motorola's planning a thermal self-repairing phone
Chris Burns - Aug 15, 2017, 1:32 pm CDT
Motorola has a plan to make a self-repairing smartphone covered with shape memory polymer material. Motorola's patent for this idea reveals in part how the device's smart glass would function. Note that we're using the term "smart glass" here for ease in explanation – in reality, Motorola's plan for the device calls for a much more complex piece of material.
In the film The Dark Knight, Morgan Freeman's Lucious Fox showed Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne what he called "Memory Cloth." This is sort of similar to what Motorola's invention involves. Instead of an electric current, this phone uses heat, and instead of cloth, we're talking about a transparent plastic or glass-like polymer (smart glass). The result is a smartphone that's smart in a brand new way.

— Chris Burns (@t_chrisburns) August 15, 2017
Motorola's description of this phone – the phone being an example of phones to come with this technology – seems relatively simple on the surface. The phone would detect any malformation – a crack, for example – on its external smart glass. Once a crack is detected, the user is notified, and action can be taken.
Motorola described the process of this phone's self-repair with thermal elements. That's heat from the phone applied to the smart glass from within. This heat would trigger the smart glass's shape memory properties and the smart glass would reverse the damage.
Above you'll see a drawing from Motorola showing one method with which the user could identify the damage that needs fixing. Encircling the crack on the smart glass could tell the phone which segments need to be reset, and where to apply heat. Also in images here – multiple methods of segmenting the smart glass for localized repairs.
Motorola was careful in their description of this technology to note that they don't mean it could fix every crack perfectly. They wrote "to reverse at least some deformation" – not all. Especially if the smart glass is shattered, or a chunk is chipped out entirely, there's no way the phone is going to bring it all back to its original form entirely perfectly.
FUN DETAIL: Notice the dock connection images and see the dual-port connection. That connection came in play with the Motorola Atrix back in 2011. It's likely Motorola's had this display glass healing technology in the works for QUITE some time now.
At this stage we're just looking at the original patent papers for the technology – it's not quite to a place where we'll see a Motorola Magic Fixit phone this year. If we do see something like this come to fruition, it'll be a while out. Right now I can't imagine a self-heating phone making it too far past the drawing board – but who knows?

I'm average looking. That's not a good thing or a bad thing, it's just a thing. Most people are average looking, it is quite unusual to meet people who are either truly beautiful or hideously ugly. The trick is to make the best of what you have.
I looked my best when I was 25/26. I was young and slim. I was old enough to know what suited me and I was earning enough money to buy the clothes, products and hairdo's that flattered me most. I had my first management position and was driving around in a Golf GTi listening to loud music. I'm not going to lie, if I'd realised that was the best looking I was ever going to be, I'd have strutted a lot more.
Most people are average looking but with the right amount of know how can present themselves as being good looking or at least better looking than they are by nature and this educational process usually starts in your early teens. I learnt the hard way that blue eyeshadow wasn't my best look, especially not if you just kept using the tiny sponge applicator until the colour on your eyelids looked the same as it did in the Constance Carroll set you were using. Back in the day, the make up collection of teenage girls started cheap and cheerful, none of this MAC lip colours and Zoella tutorials, if you were in your early teens during the 1980's in Manchester, then you were probably familiar with Constance Carroll. Blue eyeshadows, pink lipsticks and electric blue mascaras were part of the learning curve. Like most girls my age, I went through the curve on my path to finding out how to apply make up properly and actually have the make up enhance my features rather than make me look ridiculous. It also helped to avoid being laughed at by my older brother. It turned out that pink circles on your cheeks wasn't a flattering look for me and no amount of blue eyeshadow and badly applied, none moisturising, red lipstick was ever going to change that.
Despite the fact that I wasn't especially very good at applying make up, or choosing flattering outfits, I was very persistent and kept on going until I finally got the hang of it. Left to my own devices I would have worn stilleto heels and full make up on a daily basis but there was no way my mum was going to entertain that as an idea so it became a special occasions thing. I went through a very brief phase of not leaving the house without make up but you can probably count on one hand the number of weeks, if not days that lasted for.
When I was little I assumed that I'd be pretty when I got older. I'm not sure where that assumption came from, but little me, complete with my small uneven afro, was convinced that I'd look like a cross between Diana Ross and Donna Summer by the time I was a grown up. We were the same colour and they had the long hair I craved, so it kind of made sense. If I was seven years old now, I'd probably aim to be Beyonce.
Focusing on clothing rather than my usual obsession with my hair, my first few jobs involved a fairly specific dress code so I only needed to choose clothes for going out. As a mechanic I wore overalls and steel toe capped boots and as a postwoman I wore a Royal Mail uniform, which meant that I never woke up in the morning and had to plan an outfit. By the time I was 17 I'd transferred over to administration and once I moved past my initial stage of turning up to my job in the Personnel Department wearing jeans, I always knew what to wear. Offices have their own uniform, which despite the endless choices is actually quite straight forward. As long as you own lots of plain tops and stick to wearing either smart pants or a suit you're set. Top Tip: When buying a suit, buy the jacket, the skirt and the trousers. The world of knowing what to wear in the morning was disrupted by retraining as a web developer. Jeans and hoodies are very practical and being warm and comfortable is very appealing. There are few professions where that particular dress code is acceptable and it's a very easy habit to get into when you work from home. Over the last few years I've spent so much time dressed like a 12 year old boy that I'm not sure I remember how to dress properly. I can't just revert back to how I used to dress (or can I?) and there is nothing like aging 10 years and gaining 2 dress sizes to make you feel nervous about experimenting.
So if teenage me didn't look glamorous because I wasn't allowed and current me isn't glamorous because I'm out of practice, and lets face it far too lazy to entertain that amount of effort on a daily basis, it looks as though I'm going to have to save my glamour for special occasions. Kim Kardashian allegedly spends 2 hours every morning with a make up artist to look as polished as she does, personally I'd rather have an extra 2 hours in bed.
The worst thing about being average looking, is that it's easy to slip down the appearance stakes and not make the most of your features, which isn't always great for your self esteem. Even tiny changes like swapping my trainers for a pair of boots or replacing my collection of hoodies with a top and jacket now and again can elevate how I look. Throw in some mascara and a coat of lip gloss and I look like a regular grown up.
The best thing about being average looking is that now and again you get to have the wow factor. If your friends and family see you in jeans and an assortment of hoodies 99% of the time, even without hair extensions, their jaws literally drop on the days when you switch on the glamour and that's good enough for me.


Are you looking for a way to help your church grow, not just in numbers, but in being alive?
Are you open to growing in the knowledge and work of the Holy Spirit, but aren't sure how to help your congregation join you in that process?
Growing the Church conference offers a practical guide for learning to engage with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ has invited us to work with Him in building His Church and extending His Kingdom in the world. He does this by sending the Holy Spirit to grow us from within, to be his disciples and to come upon us for empowerment and gifts to work with Him.
Participants will have opportunities to build prayer support and relationships with others in ministry as well as receive on–going mentoring, if desired. A team offering intercessory prayer, hospitality and ministry will help to make this a restful and transforming week.
Are you curious about how we participate with God in what he wants to do in healing individuals, communities and nations?
This conference, on The Healing Ministry of Jesus Christ, is the fourth in a series of six Dunamis Project conferences. We will examine Jesus' healing ministry as our model for praying for many types of healing, including the physical, emotional and spiritual. Theory and practical application help make this dimension of ministry a reality in our own lives and in the Church.

Maybe I'm just a nostalgic headbanger, but the new Iron Maiden tune "Speed of Light" sounds a hell of a lot better than a lot of the new music coming from the metal bands of yore. I saw these guys live back on the Powerslave tour. That was a long, long time ago for those of you too young to remember. Or too old to remember.
The new album The Book Of Souls comes out September 4.
