Turning Toward Hope

I’m standing in front of my closet, swapping heavy, dark winter wear for the brighter, lighter garments of spring. When the annual exchange is complete, I begin to look through a neighboring rack of dresses, nearly untouched during the last year spent largely at home. I pass by one, two, three black dresses before I […]

Woman, 50, found dead on tanning bed by salon customer

Police said there was no fault with the sunbed (Picture: Getty Images) The body of a woman was discovered on a sunbed two hours after she got onto it. The unidentified 50-year-old was found by another customer at a tanning salon in Deutsch Kaltenbrunn, Austria. She is believed to have arrived at the salon at 2.30pm, but she was not found until 4.45pm by another client. They suspected that someone was on the sunbed, but could not hear any noise and there was no response. She had to use a coin to prise the bed open and found the body then shouted for help. Staff called emergency services, but it was too late to save the woman. An investigation has found no evidence of foul play and the sunbed was not faulty. Salon bosses have expressed their ‘deepest condolences’ to the woman’s family, Kronen Zeitung reports. Concerns about the safety of solariums have been raised for years, with the NHS warning people who are frequently exposed to UV rays before the age of 25 are at greater risk of developing skin cancer later in life. [metro-tag-post-strip] Using a sunbed may be more harmful than tanning in the sun, depending on factors including the strength of UV rays, how often someone uses a sunbed and the person’s skin type. Australia closed all solariums in 2015 following a ‘No Tan is Worth Dying For’ Campaign. The country’s SunSmart program, funded by Cancer Council Victoria and the Victorian Government, says ‘there is no such thing as a safe tan’. A statement said: ‘Research published in 2008 found that 281 melanomas, 43 deaths and 2,572 squamous cell carcinomas were attributable to solarium use in Australia each year, at a cost to the health system of around $3 million. ‘Solariums are not a safe way to tan and significantly increase your risk of cancer.’ Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.

Moody

Moody Yorkshire…. Feels like a landscape from say Wuthering Heights, or Jane Eyre, or Nicholas Nickleby, or the Secret Garden. All novels set in Yorkshire. Move 40 miles and it could be the opening to Bram Stokers Dracula. Yes Yorkshire clearly can do Moody and Menacing. Maybe that’s why they filmed Garfield 2 just a […]

Our Emotions & Thoughts Profoundly Affect Our Body

“Eventually it became clear that our emotions, attitudes, and thoughts profoundly affect our bodies, sometimes to the degree of life or death. Soon mind-body effects were recognized to have positive as well as negative impacts on the body. This realization came largely from research on the placebo effect—the beneficial results of suggestion, expectation, and positive […]
