There is nothing like a biblical plague landing on your face to make you question the importance of importance of physical appearance. I was 24 years old when I noticed a massive knot on my face that caused my left eye to close slightly. I was sure that something horrible had bitten me and was equally sure that some topical cream and an antibiotic would cure it. But when my normally personality-less dermatologist sat down beside me, put his hand on my arm and said, “You are so young and pretty. I am so sorry,” I knew I was wrong on both counts.
At the time the plague descended, I was a trainer for a mid-sized bank, which called for me to present in front of people on a regular basis. I was also getting married soon… that special time in a girl’s life when you prepare for that walk down the runway that church folks call an aisle.

No one likes to queue. Even the British who, it’s often joked, invented the orderly line, are getting sick of it. Recent research suggests most Britons are now prepared to tolerate queueing for only four minutes.
Yet the average British shopper spends a painful 53 minutes a month in supermarket queues. Together with all the time spent waiting for buses and trains, it mounts up to nearly six months of queueing in a lifetime. Haven’t we got anything better to do?
No wonder, then, that stores spend millions of pounds trying to reduce their customers’ queueing time.
First came barcode scanners, then the super-irritating self-service checkouts made famous for their constant refrain of ‘unexpected item in the bagging area’. But now all the waits and irritation could be in the past with the arrival of the Rapid Scan.

A 6-year-old girl who went missing last week was found dead in a Dumpster early Tuesday morning near the apartment complex where she lived.
Louisiana police say that Ahlittia North was last seen by her mother and stepfather when they put her to bed around 11 p.m. Friday night, WWLTV reports.
The next day, North — along with her blanket, toothbrush and toothpaste — were gone.
Lisa North, who reported her daughter missing, was contacted by authorities Tuesday around 1 a.m., shortly after the girl’s body was discovered.
“I didn’t think they were going to tell me she was dead,” North, 20, told the Times-Picayune.
On Monday, authorities with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office identified 20-year-old Matthew Flugence as a “person of interest.” Flugence is a relative of North, WDSU reports.

Robert Vann Marshall was shot and killed by his wife as he was allegedly breaking an order of protection between them.
A Tennessee man was shot and killed by his wife less than 15 minutes after he was released from jail.
Robert Vann Marshall, 34, allegedly broke an order of protection Saturday barring him from going anywhere near his wife. Earlier that day, he was thrown in the slammer and given the order because he allegedly threatened to kill his wife and children, WBIR reported.
At 1:27 p.m., he was released from jail. At 1:38 p.m., officers received a call from Marshall’s wife at their McMinn County home, during which she claimed her husband was forcing his way inside the home. Police said he was irate, suicidal and possibly armed.
“His wife called 911 and was telling our dispatchers that he was trying to break into the residence,” McMinn County Sheriff Joe Guy told WRCB. “She retreated into the back bedroom, and at some point fired a shot and he was killed.”

British police say they have launched a full investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, and want to trace 38 “persons of interest” in the case.
Detectives say it’s possible that Madeleine, who vanished from a Portuguese holiday resort six years ago, is still alive.
Scotland Yard said Thursday that 12 of the individuals of interest are British, and the rest from a variety of European countries. The force says it is working with governments across the continent to find out more.
McCann vanished from a vacation home in Portugal’s Algarve region on May 3, 2007, days before her fourth birthday. The case has generated intense media interest.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said police “continue to believe that there is a possibility that Madeleine is alive.”

Katie Couric featured a 12-year-old Lage Grigsby , who came face to face with death during the massive tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri in 2011. His father explains Lage was in such critical condition, emergency crews took him to the morgue instead of the hospital. Lage got a second chance when a nurse walked by and heard him screaming. Doctors were able to successfully perform surgery on his brain. While the road to recovery has been long for Lage, he has learned how to walk and talk again.

Police in Florida say a man fatally shot an innocent motorist who he mistook for someone he fought with earlier outside a nearby strip club.
Jerome Edward Hayes, 48, turned himself over to authorities Monday in connection to the shooting death of Fred William Turner, WPTV reports.
Investigators initially believed Turner, 47, was the victim of road rage when he was found dead on the side of Interstate-4 around 3 p.m. Saturday.
Police said that Turner called 911 to report that he was being followed and felt threatened.
“While on the phone the victim stated that the vehicle following him had earlier pulled up next to his vehicle and someone displayed what appeared to be a semi automatic weapon to him,” the Hillsborough County Sheriff said. “The victim stated that he had done nothing to cause someone to follow him.”

Then, just as quickly as the 6-foot-tall frozen beast surfaced, it vanished — until now.
Earlier this year, Steve Busti — owner of the Museum of the Weird in Austin, Texas — bought the ice man from the family of its original owner in Minnesota. He’s going to once again reveal the ape-like creature to the world starting July 3 at his museum.
Before his big purchase, Busti spent the last two years researching the Minnesota Iceman and trying to pin down its location. He found that the original exhibitor, Frank Hansen, had it in a freezer at his home for decades after its last showing. It’s still unclear why the big, hairy popsicle’s tour abruptly ended.
Somehow, Hansen managed to keep Mr. Freeze out of the public eye until he died about 10 years ago. Busti also learned that rumors of the Minnesota Iceman being discovered in Siberia were untrue.

In the 1960s, the “Minnesota Iceman” was paraded from mall to fairground, leaving rumors of Bigfoot, missing links and government conspiracy in its wake.

Drayson Racing Technologies has broken the world land speed record for a lightweight electric car.
Its Lola B12 69/EV vehicle hit a top speed of 204.2mph (328.6km/h) at a racetrack at RAF Elvington in Yorkshire.
Chief executive Lord Drayson, who was behind the wheel, said the achievement was designed to highlight electronic vehicle technology’s potential.
The previous 175mph record was set by Battery Box General Electric in 1974.
Drayson Racing is not the only electric vehicle-maker hoping to use motorsport to spur on adoption of the technology.
Last week Nissan unveiled the Zeod RC (Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car), which can switch between electric and petrol power.
The firm intends to enter the vehicle into next year’s Le Mans 24 race saying the competition would act as a “challenging test bed” for technologies that could eventually find their way into road cars.

Hours before dying in a fiery car crash, award-winning journalist Michael Hastings sent an email to his colleagues, warning that federal authorities were interviewing his friends and that he needed to go “off the rada[r]” for a bit.
The email was sent around 1 p.m. on Monday, June 17. At 4:20 a.m. the following morning, Hastings died when his Mercedes, traveling at high speeds, smashed into a tree and caught on fire. He was 33.
Hastings sent the email to staff at BuzzFeed, where he was employed, but also blind-copied a friend, Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs, on the message. Biggs, who Hastings met in 2008 when he was embedded in his unit in Afghanistan, forwarded the email to KTLA, who posted it online on Saturday.
