Essential Oils (album)
''Essential Oils'' is a two-disc compilation album by Australian rock band Midnight Oil released in November 2012. At the time of its release, the compilation covered Midnight Oil's entire career, starting with the group's 1978 self-titled album and including, in chronological order, tracks from all their studio albums and EPs up to and including the album '' Capricornia'' (2002). ''Essential Oils'' was released during the period in which Midnight Oil had broken up in the wake of lead singer Peter Garrett focusing on his political career. The band reformed in 2016, embarked on concert tours (2017, 2019, 2022) and released two further studio albums, ''The Makarrata Project'' (2020) and '' Resist'' (2022). Given its comprehensive 36-song track list, the two-disc ''Essential Oils'' effectively supplants Midnight Oil's previous greatest-hits compilation, the one-disc, 18-track album '' 20,000 Watt R.S.L.'' (1997). There is only one track in ''20,000 Watt R.S.L.'' ("What Goes On") ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Back On The Borderline
A head injury is any injury that results in trauma to the skull or brain. The terms ''traumatic brain injury'' and ''head injury'' are often used interchangeably in the medical literature. Because head injuries cover such a broad scope of injuries, there are many causes—including accidents, falls, physical assault, or traffic accidents—that can cause head injuries. The number of new cases is 1.7 million in the United States each year, with about 3% of these incidents leading to death. Adults have head injuries more frequently than any age group resulting from falls, motor vehicle crashes, colliding or being struck by an object, or assaults. Children, however, may experience head injuries from accidental falls or intentional causes (such as being struck or shaken) leading to hospitalization. Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a term used to differentiate brain injuries occurring after birth from injury, from a genetic disorder, or from a congenital disorder. Unlike a broken bo ...
