Prayer/Life Up for eWorld Music Award

The duo of Andrea Davis-Griffin and John Stallworth teamed up to form the inspiring and thought-provoking creation known as Prayer/Life while delivering a positive message driven by faith.

2011-02-14

HOLLYWOOD, CA, February 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Infusing soul and incredible depth into an intoxicating blend of contemporary folk and new age music—this is the rock solid foundation for one of the hottest up and coming groups in the Christian genre. The duo of Andrea Davis-Griffin and John Stallworth teamed up to form the inspiring and thought-provoking creation known as Prayer/Life while delivering a positive message driven by faith. Their initial success is reaching new heights, and the group is asking fans to help vote for them in the eWorld Music Awards via the Boomerang Media Station.

Drawing comparisons to artists such as Sarah MacLachlan, George Winston, Sara Groves, and Enya, Prayer/Life quickly rose through the ranks of contemporary Christian music by blending elements of pop, folk, and new age to create a unique and peaceful sound. Their debut record, In Our Midst, is laden with lyrics meant to serve as a backdrop for meditation and reflection while praising the grace of God and delivering His message through beautiful song. Both band members collaborate on the music, lyrics and arrangements, while Davis-Griffin provides rich vocals and flute with Stallworth plays masterful piano, keys, and synths.

Prayer/Life have also taken their talents on the road as well, performing a number of times since 2007 at various coffee shops and church events, including an awards show at the Then and Now Gospel Showcase in Los Angeles. Internet radio stations are also picking up on their well-honed songwriting abilities, as IndieHeaven, Live365, Urban Soul Radio, and Jango.com are all currently spinning a selection of their tunes. 10,000+ international fans have joined their Jango and Facebook fan groups to express enthusiasm for the band's mission. The group received national recognition when "I Cover My Face" and "Trouble (Notes from Jail)" each took home Honorable Mention awards in 2010 during the Billboard World Song Contest.

After a number of awards and accolades, Prayer/Life is one of the five acts nominated for an eWorld Music Award in the Country/Folk/Faith category, which will be decided on February 12 in Hollywood, California during Grammy Weekend. Fans can vote for the outstanding Christian duo to win an award by downloading the Boomerang Media Station, which is a free media program sponsored by eWorld Media at ewboomerang.com.

Garnering press, radio, and media attention continues to fuel Prayer/Life's soulful fire, as they aim to expand their musical reaches even further in 2011. New songs are in the works for their second album, as well as a companion book for In Our Midst, which will contain daily scripture study guides and further exploration of the record's lyrical content.

Fleeting fluctuations in superconductivity disappear close to transition temperature

2011-02-14

UPTON, NY — As part of an ongoing effort to uncover details of how high-temperature superconductors carry electrical current with no resistance, scientists at Johns Hopkins University and the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have measured fluctuations in superconductivity across a wide range of temperatures using terahertz spectroscopy. Their technique allows them to see fluctuations lasting mere billionths of a billionth of a second, and reveals that these fleeting fluctuations disappear 10-15 Kelvin (K) above the transition temperature (Tc) at ...

Study finds massive flux of gas, in addition to liquid oil, at BP well blowout in Gulf

2011-02-14

Athens, Ga. – A new University of Georgia study that is the first to examine comprehensively the magnitude of hydrocarbon gases released during the Deepwater Horizon Gulf of Mexico oil discharge has found that up to 500,000 tons of gaseous hydrocarbons were emitted into the deep ocean. The authors conclude that such a large gas discharge—which generated concentrations 75,000 times the norm—could result in small-scale zones of "extensive and persistent depletion of oxygen" as microbial processes degrade the gaseous hydrocarbons. The study, led by UGA Professor of Marine ...

Mummies' false toes helped ancient Egyptians walk

2011-02-14

Two artificial big toes – one found attached to the foot of an ancient Egyptian mummy – may have been the world's earliest functional prosthetic body parts, says the scientist who tested replicas on volunteers. University of Manchester researcher, Dr Jacky Finch, has shown that a three-part wood and leather artefact housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, along with a second one, the Greville Chester artificial toe on display in the British Museum, not only looked the part but also helped their toeless owners walk like Egyptians. The toes date from before 600BC, predating ...

Gonorrhea acquires a piece of human DNA

2011-02-14

CHICAGO --- If a human cell and a bacterial cell met at a speed-dating event, they would never be expected to exchange phone numbers, much less genetic material. In more scientific terms, a direct transfer of DNA has never been recorded from humans to bacteria. Until now. Northwestern Medicine researchers have discovered the first evidence of a human DNA fragment in a bacterial genome – in this case, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea. Further research showed the gene transfer appears to be a recent evolutionary event. The discovery offers insight ...

Archaeologists find hidden African side to noted 1780s Md. building

2011-02-14

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – One of North America's most famous Revolutionary-era buildings – a lone-surviving testament to an Enlightenment ideal – has a hidden West African face, University of Maryland archaeologists have discovered. Their excavation at the 1785 Wye “Orangery” on Maryland's Eastern Shore – the only 18th century greenhouse left in North America – reveals that African American slaves played a sophisticated, technical role in its construction and operation. They left behind tangible cultural evidence of their involvement and spiritual traditions. Frederick ...
