If there's one track guaranteed to get everyone up at a party in Ireland, it's Mark McCabe's Maniac 2000.

And while we've spent almost two decades throwing shapes to the original, who are we say it's not due a makeover?

Taking the track in hand, trad band, Ruaile Buaile, from Co Offaly, gave it the traditional treatment, and we're actually obsessed.

Shared on YouTube on Friday, the video has amassed almost 60,000 views, with fans of the lads' version wasting no time sharing their support.

"Huge tune, lads." wrote one while another added: "Well done lads! Brilliant!"

Stunned by the response, the lads took to Facebook to share their thoughts, writing: "We are currently trending on Youtube, and we cannot believe it."

"But most importantly, a huge, massive thank you to all of you for watching, you are all legends! Keep watching and keep sharing."

You heard 'em, ladies.

Surgeons in the United States are urging the public to consider the ramifications of constant phone use as the number of young patients presenting with spinal problems increases.

According to a study published in The Spine Journal, individuals, whose age suggests they shouldn't be experiencing back and neck ailments, are complaining of various issues which experts believe is related to the use of mobile phones.

Written by Dr. Todd Lanman, a spinal neurosurgeon, and Dr. Jason Cuellar, an orthopedic spine surgeon, – both of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles – the study indicated that prolonged phone use takes its toll on an individual's posture which ultimately results in health issues.

"In an X-ray, the neck typically curves backward, and what we're seeing is that the curve is being reversed as people look down at their phones for hours each day," Dr Lanman explained.

'The real concern is that we don't know what this means down the road for kids today who use phones all day."

Speaking to Reuters Health, he added: "'By the time patients get to me, they're already in bad pain and have disc issues."

Determined to address the issue at the source, the surgeons advise the public to adopt certain positions when using their phone or laptops.

From holding your phone in front of your face and ensuring that your computer is at eye level to allowing your head to hand over the edge of your bed in an extended stretch, the surgeons are keen to address the issue of 'text neck' before a whole generation is plagued with disc issues.

In the early hours of Easter Sunday morning, two Gardai – one male, one female – were attacked in Claremorris Co Mayo after responding to an incident in the area.

It is understood the attack, which was carried out by three men, was particularly savage, with both officers requiring treatment for their injuries in Mayo University Hospital.

At this stage, there are very, very few among us who don't know the benefits of breaking a sweat on the regular.

And while you may look, feel and sleep better by incorporating an exercise regime into your life, did you know that some forms of cardio can actually increase your life span?

According to scientists at Iowa State University, 60 minutes of running ultimately provides you with an extra seven hours of life.

Developing on a study which established that 10 minutes of running a day reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, Duck-chul Lee, a professor of kinesiology at Iowa State, focussed further on the benefits of the exercise.

Data published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology indicated that running decreased the risk of premature death by 40 per cent, and that the activity in itself increases a person's life span.

But how did researchers arrive at a figure of seven hours per 60 minute-run?

According to The New York Times, two hours of training per week translated into less than six months of your life, and ultimately increase your life expectancy by almost three years.

Simply put, runners – in comparison to non-runners – tended to live three years longer no matter their pace, their weight or their smoking habits.

Not too shabby.

Why You Might Be Risking Not Replacing Old Windows and Doors Mississauga

The consequences of not replacing old windows and doors Mississauga can be dire. This is why we recommend replacing them.

The Risks of Not Replacing Old Windows and Doors Mississauga

There is a tendency where homeowners in Mississauga delay or keep on procrastinating the idea to replace the old windows and doors. Though that is understandable given the ever-rising prices for new replacement windows and doors Mississauga, when you evaluate the possible risks of not replacing old windows you will replace them as soon as possible.

Firstly, the new vinyl replacement windows may not be as costly as you think. Secondly, the expenses of not replacing the old windows and doors Mississauga could be higher than you may imagine. Take a look here.

Unusually High Utility Bills.

Older windows don’t offer much insulation as compared to new windows Mississauga replacements. They usually consist of a single glass pane. The modern units come with double panes filled with argon gas in between to avoid heat and cold transference. So, by keeping those old units, you could be spending a lot of money to regulate temperatures in your home. To know how much, you will save after you replace your windows, call a reputable contractor today and he will give you an estimate.

Less Security.

Windows and doors Mississauga that has a single glass pane are prone to burglars since they are easy to break. The modern units come with double panes that are reinstated by a vacuum and gas which makes the window strong to withstand any impact. You also have time to call for assistance.

Low Property Value.

Replacing doors and windows Mississauga is one of the best ways to increase the value of your home. Buyers usually look for homes fitted with new windows that are energy efficient since energy bills are of much concern for most homeowners. Again, replacing windows and doors is not one undertaking that many homeowners would want to do immediately they purchase a new home.

Therefore, replacing windows improves the curb appeal of your home along with making it more energy efficient. All these features make it more attractive to potential buyers who are willing to pay good money for it.

A Lot of Maintenance Work.

Usually, older homes are fitted with wood frames. And whether you hire someone or you do the work, there is no denying that wood frames need a lot of maintenance which is costly. Installing new vinyl windows and doors Mississauga, you will only need to wash your doors and windows yearly.

A Noisier Home.

The modern vinyl replacement units come with better insulation which helps to keep most of the noise at bay. If you don’t consider the idea of replacing the older windows, your home might become noisier and noisier each day. You need peace of mind when you come back from home, and that is why you need to consider window and door replacement.

Since its beginning back in 2010, it's safe to say that Tayto Park has been our answer to a theme park in Ireland.

With an actual rollercoaster (yes, we finally have one!), to a deadly little zoo, we have great craic every time we head down to Meath to check it out.

Here, we count down the top 7 things you know that will happen when you go to Tayto Park for the day:

7. Getting lost when trying to find the Tayto factory

One of the best attractions at Tayto Park is getting to see the crisps actually being made.

And it'll feel like you're following the yellow brick road when trying to find the factory… but seeing our fave snacks in production is pretty cool.

6. The Twisted Chip

When you first walk into Tayto Park you see everyone walking around with one of these twisted Tayto crisps.

This turns into a quest to find the Twisted Chip restaurant… and it doesn't disappoint. YUM.

 

5. Cú Chulainn Coaster

Being Europe’s largest wooden rollercoaster with an inversion, everyone flocks to this the moment they arrive in the park.

That turns into riding it multiple times throughout the day, and it gets better each and every time.

 

4. The 5D cinema

You don't realise how good this is until you're actually sitting in the cinema.

And with water splashing, wind blowing and your seat moving, it's totally not what you would expect.

3. The zipline

This is certainly one for all ages, but not for the faint-hearted!

Once you're up the top of the climbing wall, you can see the whole of Tayto Park, and then the rush of the zipline ride will blow you away.

2. The Lodge restaurant

After seeing all of the animals and going on all of the attractions, it's fair to say you're just dying for a feed.

And The Lodge gives you a cavery meal option, as well as loads of healthy snacks – what more could you want?

1. The MEERKATS

Right beside the Twisted Chip hut is where the meerkats live and they're possibly the coolest animals ever.

Sit back, enjoy a twisted chip, and watch the meerkats at the end of an action-packed day. Perfection.

Whether it's our  mother, our aunt, or our clean-freak BFF, we all know someone who makes us take our shoes off at the door.

And we all might think that this is to keep their houses spick and span, but it turns out there's a way more hygienic reason for it.

According to a new study carried out at the University of Hoxton, our shoe soles are probably the dirtiest things we own, and they have a whole load of pathogenic germs (which are the really bad kind) on them.

fashion, get ready, getting ready

But, it's not just muck and dirt the researchers found. Living on your shoe sole is clostridium difficile, which can cause some pretty nasty bacterial infections. 

Clostridium difficile was found on 26.4 per cent of shoe soles.

And if you think wiping your shoes on the mat before you walk in the door will help – it won't.

Dr Kevin Garey, who led the study said: "You have to think of the person who wiped their feet before. You might be picking [up] stuff they left behind.”

So, there you go. Listen to your mammy and take off your shoes.

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!
