Rolex worn during World War 2 "Great Escape" attempt to go on sale for £30,000

 The Rolex A Rolex watch worn by a British prisoner of war during the infamous ‘Great Escape’ attempt has emerged for sale for £30,000. Despite being held in the Stalag Luft III camp in Germany, Flight Lieutenant Gerald Imeson was still able to order and take delivery of a brand new watch in 1942. The Swiss watchmaker had offered all British officer PoWs one of their timepieces to replace the ones seized by the Germans on condition they pay after the war. The deal was only made to British officers as they were seen as honourable gentlemen. F/Lt Imeson wore the watch as he helped dig the three tunnels for the audacious escape attempt of 1944. He acted as a ‘penguin’, one of the men who secretly dispersed surplus soil dug from the tunnels through holes in their trouser pockets. He was allocated position 172 in the queue of PoWs to escape but never made it into the tunnel as the German guards discovered the break-out. Of the 76 men who escaped, 73 were recaptured and 50 of them were executed. The attempt was immortalised in the 1963 film The Great Escape.READ MORE -http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rolex-worn-during-world-war-2528085

Rest Days: How Much Recovery Do You Really Need Between Workouts?

You know that exercising on a regular basis is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but maybe you’re so bombarded with facts and figures about how important it is to move more all of the time, that sometimes you forget to stop and let your body take a breather.
“What people need to understand is that exercise stresses the body, so in order to ensure the positive things you’re seeking you need to allow recovery time,” says Dr. Cedric Bryant, Chief Science Officer for the American Council on Exercise. “Everything needs time to recover, rebuild and rejuvenate -read more-http://www.theactivetimes.com/rest-days-how-much-recovery-do-you-really-need-between-workouts

Stronger than drugs

Scientists have noticed something remarkable about the placebo effect, or the power of our thoughts and expectations. In recent years, it’s been getting stronger, and it’s now beginning to surpass the effects of dru
A group of people with Parkinson’s disease were asked to test levodopa, the standard drug treatment for the disease, which raises levels of dopamine in the brain. The participants were told they were probably going to be given the drug, but there was a range of chances they could be given a placebo, or sugar pill, instead.

Brain scans afterwards revealed that levels of dopamine were higher in every case. But what the participants didn’t know was that none of them had taken levodopa—all had been given the placebo. Despite that, the sugar pill—or perhaps the expectation of a result—had caused chemical changes in their brains.1

The power of the placebo is recognized by medicine as a way to test the real effects of a drug over and above our thoughts or expectations. The trick is to not tell the participant whether he’s been given a drug or a placebo in what is called a ‘double-blind placebo-controlled’ trial, the gold standard of medical studies.

But something strange has been happening with the placebo effect over the past 20 years—it’s been getting stronger. In fact, it’s been getting so strong that it’s matching, and sometimes surpassing, the effects of painkillers, and it’s stopping the development of new drugs in its tracks.

Several major new drugs have fallen at the last hurdle when tested against the placebo response, and it may cost a drug company upwards of £1 billion in research and development for a product that has to be scrapped.READ MORE-https://www.wddty.com/magazine/2015/december/stronger-than-drugs.html
