Since I saw that I could find happiness and completeness in God, I gave up my intense effort to find satisfaction where it can't be found--in temporal things. I strove for spiritual-mindedness. The effect on my outlook and health was dramatic. I found contentment within, peace of mind, and freedom from feeling as thoug...
Improved ideals lead to improved living. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes in her Miscellaneous Writings, ''Holding the right idea of man in my mind, I can improve my own, and other people's individuality, health, and morals; whereas, the opposite image of man, a sinner, kept cons...
The right idea of man is a spiritual one, formed and shaped by God. When we turn our mental gaze away from less than ideal views of man to the perfect child of God's creating, our thought is lifted to new and fresh possibilities for better living. The best ideal to hold to is the spiritual one coming from God--fetterle...
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
At about £9 a mile – more than six times the usual price of a London cab – it is certainly not the cheapest way of reaching the Olympic park. But then, not even the most hospitable cabbie will serve you a glass of champagne en route – or promise to get you there on time.
For those with plenty of money to spend, the so-called Water Chariots service is one of the more stress-free ways of reaching the Games, using one of the few thoroughfares unlikely to be in gridlock, east London's river Lea.
Offering up to 120 return trips a day, the private company's fleet of specially constructed boats will take spectators from two departure points in north-east and east London to within 70 metres of its own queue-free entrance to the park.
The trips will not be especially speedy. With a cruising speed of 4mph it will take about 40 minutes from Limehouse Marina and approximately 70 minutes from Tottenham Hale. But they do offer spectators some element of certainty.
There is, of course, a catch. Return tickets from either departure point cost £95 for adults and £50 for children, with prices roughly halved for the Paralympics, a tariff described as "ridiculous" by the Labour MP for Limehouse, Jim Fitzpatrick.
Water Chariots denies it is exploiting a monopoly position created by the decision of British Waterways, along with the Olympic Delivery Authority, to give it the exclusive licence for the Olympic service. "Certainly not," a spokeswoman said.
The company says it is spending "a lot of money" to set up the service – including 15 specially built vessels and marina infrastructure – and that it won the 2012 contract on the basis that it would offer a long-term service, including management of the moorings for 15 years.
Water Chariots was chosen, a British Waterways spokeswoman said, "as they presented a sound business plan that had significant legacy value". Some of the 80-passenger boats will be converted after the Games into self-hire vessels based at Limehouse, while others will continue to be used for general transport. The hope ...
And the prices, even given the promised glass of champagne? The spokeswoman added: "We have no input into Water Chariots pricing so cannot comment on it."
PATHEIN, Myanmar (AP) — Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi hit the campaign trail Tuesday as an official candidate for upcoming elections, traveling to the Irrawaddy delta for the first time in two decades.
Cheering crowds greeted Suu Kyi's convoy at every major town and city along her four-hour drive south from Yangon to an area that was devastated by Cyclone Nargis in 2008.
Supporters waved bouquets of roses and yelled, "We Love Mother Suu!" as the 66-year-old pro-democracy advocate drove past, sometimes rising from her car's sun roof to greet supporters with a smile.
Suu Kyi is running for a seat representing Kawhmu, a poor district south of Yangon, but has embarked on a national campaign to lobby support for other members of her opposition National League for Democracy party.
The cost of removing rotting teeth in children and teenagers has soared by 66 per cent to £35 million in just five years - leading to fears sugar addiction is spiralling out of control.
Council chiefs fear the rise in cases of tooth decay will mean some children are forced to miss school to go into hospital for an operation.
Latest figures show that hospitals spent £35 million on multiple teeth extraction in under 18s in 2014/15, compared with £21 million in 2010/11. Over the last five years, the total figure amounts to nearly £140 million.
Council leaders believe that excessive consumption of fizzy drinks and foods high in added sugar are a major reason behind the surge in cases of treatment - 40,970 procedures in 2014/15 compared with 32,457 - an increase of more than a quarter.
The numbers mean that more than 100 operations to remove teeth in children and teens are taking place each day in hospitals rather than dentists, due to the severity of the tooth decay.
And given the high frequency of operations, town halls say it is inevitable this will mean some pupils taking time off school for hospital appointments.
The Local Government Association, which represents more than 370 councils with responsibility for public health, is calling for tough measures to tackle young people’s sugar consumption in its forthcoming childhood obesity strategy.
These include a reduction of sugar content and teaspoon labelling of sugar content in soft drinks, and greater availability of water in nurseries, schools and colleges as an alternative to soft drinks.
Dental decay is the top cause of childhood hospital admission for children aged between five and nine, with nearly 26,000 admitted in 2013/14 - making 8.7 per cent of all admissions.
British youngsters are the biggest consumers of soft drinks in Europe - with 40 per cent of 11 to 15-year-olds downing sugary drinks at least once a day. Poland is the second highest at 27 per cent, with Germany third (18.5 per cent).
Under-10s get almost a fifth of their sugar intake from soft drinks and for 11 to 18-year-olds, that figure is nearly a third.
Izzi Seccombe, the LGA’s community well-being spokeswoman, said: “Our children’s teeth are rotting because they are consuming too much food and drink high in sugar far too often.
“Nearly half of 11 to 15-year-olds have a sugary drink at least once a day.
“As these figures show, we don’t just have a child obesity crisis, but a children’s oral health crisis too.
“What makes these numbers doubly alarming is the fact so many teeth extractions are taking place in hospitals rather than dentists.
She added: “Poor oral health can affect children and young people’s ability to sleep, eat, speak, play and socialise with others.

A Matamata boy was thrown 2m in the air by a mini-tornado that ripped through the central North Island town yesterday.
Matamata Intermediate pupil George Jeffrey and a friend were walking home from school on Monday when the weather suddenly changed.
"The weather was fine when we set out, there was no wind.
"Then I felt some leaves hit my legs, and I saw my friend run behind a house.
"I felt the wind pick up, and I got picked up two metres in the air, and thrown back on the ground.
"It was pretty scary, and a bit painful."
While George was in the air a trampoline flew over him, narrowly missing him.
The 13-year-old suffered grazing up the side of his body, and was helped by some nearby road workers and his mother's former boss who was nearby.
When George's mother Linda Burton got a phone call about the ordeal she had no idea there had even been a mini-tornado.
"My ex-boss rang and said she saw George had been lifted up by a tornado. I said, 'What tornado?'"
The tornado had taken a narrow path through the town, she said.
"We are only a street over from where it happened, and there was no wind at our place. We have a trampoline and it was not touched."
High winds had lifted roofs of houses in the town before, but never anything like this, she said.
"It is an unbelievable experience."
Matamata resident Ben Furness arrived home from work to find his fence, and four doors and part of the roof had been ripped off his garage and workshop.
It wasn't until he reviewed his security camera footage that he realised what had happened.
"You can't move that stuff by hand. I have never seen anything like that before."
Elsewhere the mini-tornado had damaged sheds, lifted roofs and brought down trees and power lines.

The guys at Been there Done That drove around Portland, Maine with some hotdogs wired to the jugs of an Ural motorcycle. Unsurprisingly, the amazing airhead engine is too efficient at dissipating heat, and the hot dogs don't get very cooked.

A court order is preventing four Venezuelan journalists from Armando.info, three of them founders of the site, from leaving the country. The 11th Trial Court of the Metropolitan Area of Caracas issued the measure at the request of the Colombian businessman Alex Nain Saab Morán, reported site Runrun.es.
From L to R: Joseph Poliszuk, Roberto Deniz, Alfredo Meza and Ewald Scharfenberg from Armando.info.
Roberto Deniz, Alfredo Meza, Joseph Poliszuk and Ewald Scharfenberg are currently outside Venezuela, so the judicial measure, according to them, would only prevent and postpone their return to the country. For security reasons, journalists decided to temporarily leave Venezuela in early 2018 as a result of the criminal...
Poliszuk told the Knight Center, from Colombia, that he had planned to return to Venezuela in the next two months, however, he said that after the recent measure they will have to continue editing the site from abroad.
The businessman sued the journalists from Armando.info after the publication of two reports by journalist Deniz on the site. These reports indicate the alleged financial link between Saab and the government of President Nicolás Maduro in the food import business for the state program of the Local Sourcing and Productio...
“his honor and reputation,” El Pitazo reported.
On Aug. 5, Armando.info published another installment of the series of reports on the state program of the CLAP, and its possible privatization. Saab is also mentioned in this report.
Scharfenberg, in an interview with the Knight Center, said that all of this only highlights the willingness of the counterpart to continue intimidating the reporters and, in general, to silence the publication of new journalistic revelations on Armando.info about his alleged participation in business with the Venezuela...
"The measures already agreed by the court, and those that the counterparty has requested, seem impracticable," Scharfenberg said. "The ban on leaving, because, in effect, we are already abroad; and the prohibition of publication, because our server and legal entity are in the United States, unless it implies an open bl...
Between Aug. 8 and 13, 2018, both the sites of Armando.info and El Pitazo suffered selective blockades from state and private Internet service providers in Venezuela, according to a report from the Press and Society Institute (IPYS) of Venezuela. Without any notification from the service providers and no explicit court...
