SHE may need glasses.
An American woman has law authorities scratching their heads in consternation after she managed to run her car into a telegraph pole whilst driving in the desert. The woman, despite being surrounded by hundreds of kilometres of open desert in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, managed to ram head-long into a 20-foot pole, the force of which snapped it. Fortunately the woman was not injured in the accident, however her car, and the pole will need serious repairs.
HOLIDAY bodies.
Nuffield Health has partnered
with Kuoni Travel to better
understand the health impact of
a holiday.
As such the pair have launched
a Holiday Experiment, which asks
UK citizens to complete a survey
between now and June which
looks at their health and holiday
habits.
Following the cut-off date for
surveys, a number of participants
will be selected to undergo
clinical testing as well as discussion
sessions with a psychotherapist,
before, during and after going on
a (free) Kuoni holiday.
Participants will wear a small
ECG monitor for three days and
nights before, during, and after
the holiday, which will assess
their heart rate variability and the
relative activity of the
sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous systems, whilst
counselling will assess the stress,
anxiety, mood, libido and general
mental health.
The data will then be compared
to assess how a holiday affects
peoples health and wellbeing.
