IF there's one thing we can all be certain of, it's that at some point we will die. And for most people, the mere prospect of death is a scary one. But now, people who've suffered near death experiences 'NDEs' , have revealed what it's really like to 'die', and why it should put your mind at rest for when your turn comes around. A study published by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine in the US, looked at people who had survived cardiac arrests . The medics found that commonly, those who had NDEs said they would have "unique lucid experiences". The survivors said these ranged from a feeling of being separated from the body to being able to observe ongoing events without feeling any distress.

‘Healthy’ Lauren Menzies, 13, died days after being rushed to hospital with silent killer symptoms – know the signs
A "HEALTHY" schoolgirl died just days after being rushed to hospital with a silent killer disease. Lauren Menzies, 13, had been relaxing at home with her family like any other day - but within 12 hours she was fighting for her life. Tragically the Lancashire teen died of sepsis in the days that followed. Lauren's family are now raising awareness and money for research around the condition - which kills hundreds of people every week. Her parents Chris and Sarah have bravely recalled when tragedy struck in December 2019 - and how quickly the 13-year-old deteriorated. When the girl started feeling queasy and breathing fast, Sarah thought her symptoms nothing more than a "tummy bug".

Pioneer of gospel music rediscovered in Pittsburgh archives
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 18 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Scattered in crates, dirty and difficult to read, the gospel music of composer Charles Henry Pace sat packed away, unorganized — and unrealized — for more than 20 years. Frances Pace Barnes, the pioneering music publisher’s daughter who remembers how he could turn a hum it into a song, knew the crates held pieces of her family’s past. But she was not expecting those decaying printing plates and papers to reveal an important part of gospel music history. “I didn’t know it was going to be a legacy,” said Pace Barnes. As it turns out, her father was one of the first African American gospel music composers in the United States, and the owner of one of the country’s first independent, Black gospel music publishing companies. Today, the University of Pittsburgh is restoring … [Read more...] about Pioneer of gospel music rediscovered in Pittsburgh archives
Son loses dad’s ashes in Tesco bag for life after nine-hour booze-fuelled bender
A shame-faced son has appealed for help in finding his dad's ashes which he lost in a Tesco bag for life after 'one last trip to the beach' turned into nine-hour pub crawl. Stan Blade planned to make a TikTok video himself of visiting pleasure rides at Southend, Essex, with dad Stephen Jewitt's ashes as a final farewell. But instead of visiting the dodgems on Southend Pier with his dad, the 39 year old bumped into a group of old pals and ended up on a pub crawl in his former home town. Sometime during the drinks Stan misplaced the shopping bag containing a wooden casket which held the ashes of his dad who died aged just 60. He only discovered his blunder after finally arriving home just after midnight on Saturday, March 18 having drunk six tins of Stella and five pints of lager in a couple of pubs. He confessed to his irate step-mum Emma Hopkins who had previously told him he could not take the ashes out of her home. Musician Stan said: "I came home, and my step mum asked … [Read more...] about Son loses dad’s ashes in Tesco bag for life after nine-hour booze-fuelled bender

John Denver’s all-denim ski suit is back — and so are many Colorado museums
Rather by surprise, History Colorado found itself at the center of protests against police violence and racism after Memorial Day, given its flagship museum’s location in downtown’s Civic Center Cultural Complex — just steps from the Denver Art Museum and the Colorado State Capitol. But the institution has embraced this moment in history , collecting artifacts of the protests even as dozens of volunteers worked to remove graffiti and trash from the exterior. Officials at the state’s flagship history museum are now hoping to redirect attention to what’s inside — in a socially distanced way, of course. History Colorado began unlocking its doors for in-person visits at eight museums across the state this week, including the Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center (open June 15) and Fort Vasquez (in Platteville, June 17). The Center for Colorado Women’s History at Byers-Evans House (in Denver), El Pueblo History Museum and Trinidad History Museum all open on June 19, while … [Read more...] about John Denver’s all-denim ski suit is back — and so are many Colorado museums
John Wick Sure Has a Lot of Friends for a Lone Assassin
Over a run of three stunt-laden films, John Wick has dispatched his enemies with rifles, pistols, swords and knives, as well as an assortment of things that just happen to be nearby. On one occasion, he took out several foes by slamming into them with his ’69 Ford Mustang; on another, he beat a man to death with a library book. And then there was that time Wick slaughtered three men in a bar with a pencil , a feat that his fellow killers can’t seem to stop talking about. Wherever Wick goes, folks die. So why does John Wick, that most lethal of assassins, have so many friends? In a clear break from the tradition of cinematic lone-wolf assassins with few if any pals — Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name; Chow Yun-fat in a series of John Woo films — Wick seems to have dozens. Everybody knows him, from beat cops and mechanics to club bouncers and hotel concierges. “Wick has so many friends in this world because, at the end of the day, he’s inherently a good man,” the … [Read more...] about John Wick Sure Has a Lot of Friends for a Lone Assassin
Is Parkinson’s disease, ‘world’s fastest growing brain disease,’ mostly preventable? Study offers clues
close Video Man with Parkinson's disease walks for first time in years shocking doctors Charles Shields, who has Parkinson's disease and is in hospice, says it's a miracle that he was able to walk for the first time after being bedridden for several years. Researchers warn that a colorless chemical known as trichloroethylene (TCE) — which has been used to dry-clean clothes, degrease metals and decaffeinate coffee — may be linked to the dramatic increase in Parkinson’s disease (PD) cases. They recently published a series of seven cases in the Journal of Parkinson’s disease that illustrate TCE’s harmful health effects and the potential PD association. "TCE is associated with a 500% increased risk of Parkinson’s disease," lead author Dr. Ray Dorsey, professor of neurology at the University of Rochester in New York and author of "Ending Parkinson’s Disease," told Fox News Digital. CHEMICALS IN WATER AND HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS COULD REDUCE … [Read more...] about Is Parkinson’s disease, ‘world’s fastest growing brain disease,’ mostly preventable? Study offers clues
