Sweet little mystery - Health - Times Online
: "GIVING a child a sweet to make them feel better isn?t just a parental con trick, it really does kill pain, according to new research from the Monell Chemical Senses Centre, in Philadelphia.
Sugar makes kids feel better physically as well as psychologically. And the new study, published in the journal Pain this month, shows that the children who get the greatest painkilling effect are those who like sweet tastes most."

Independent Online Edition > Transport: "Britain is to become the first country in the world where the movements of all vehicles on the roads are recorded. A new national surveillance system will hold the records for at least two years.
Using a network of cameras that can automatically read every passing number plate, the plan is to build a huge database of vehicle movements so that the police and security services can analyse any journey a driver has made over several years.
The network will incorporate thousands of existing CCTV cameras which are being converted to read number plates automatically night and day to provide 24/7 coverage of all motorways and main roads, as well as towns, cities, ports and petrol-station forecourts."

And that, he says, is a fiddle.

And officers have told him that if he doesn?t stump up cash to the tune of �114 he will have to face the music."

In 1926 the Politburo in Moscow passed the request to the Academy of Science with the order to build a "living war machine";. The order came at a time when the Soviet Union was embarked on a crusade to turn the world upside down, with social engineering seen as a partner to industrialisation: new cities, architecture, and a new egalitarian society were being created."
