A systematic review of scientific studies on the Wim Hof method of cold water therapy found the quality of the research inadequate to support most claims of effectiveness without addition investigation. Hof attributes his success to his training method, which focuses on a commitment to practicing cold water with a specific form of breathing. The training reduces stress, improves sleep, bolsters the immune system, and increases energy, focus and willpower.

Pi is an irrational number, meaning it has an infinite number of nonrepeating decimal places. But even when working out problems on the most mind-bending cosmic scales, they never need more than a few dozen extra digits. You can figure out the circumference of any circle if you know its diameter or radius (half the diameter) and pi, which is most commonly abbreviated as 3.14 — which is why Pi Day is celebrated on March 14.

Pi is a mathematical constant that expresses the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is part of many formulas used in physics, astronomy, engineering and other fields, dating back thousands of years to ancient Egypt, Babylon and China. In 2009, Congress designated every March 14 to be the big day — to hopefully spur more interest in math and science.

In our age of soaring rates of despair, powerful scientific evidence suggests faith in God brings healing. As I write in my memoir, I grew up one of seven biological siblings with a violent, mentally ill, street-musician father. My dad said Satan “reassigned” lesser demons to personally torment our family. We lived a transient life, skirting authorities by constantly moving.
