Got Milk? If you are holding a carton of Soymilk you don’t. Right now there is a battle over what can be defined as milk, and what can’t be. With milk sales going down and plant-based beverage sales going up, it could be an all-out war.
Uso de cobre em hospitais é capaz de reduzir infecções em até 58%
As infecções hospitalares, adquiridas pelo paciente durante a permanência em um estabelecimento de saúde e que ocorrem mais de 48 horas após a admissão no centro, afetam milhões de pessoas todos os anos, causando milhares de mortes.
Why being busy is a modern sickness
Of all the books from last century we can turn back to for guidance, Alan Watts’s The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety is particularly suited for this task. Published in 1951, Watts knew post-World War II America was ramping up at unsustainable social and technological speeds. More people were working more hours while offering more excuses as to why they were never really present—the word “more” being the constant catalyst of inattention and stress. He writes:
Eat For 10 Hours. Fast For 14. This Daily Habit Prompts Weight Loss, Study Finds
There’s a lot of enthusiasm for intermittent fasting — a term that can encompass everything from skipping a meal each day to fasting a few days a week.
Watching pornography can catapult the brain into a catastrophic state
Pornography has existed throughout recorded history, transforming with the introduction of each new medium. Hundreds of sexually explicit frescoes and sculptures were found in the Mount Vesuvius ruins of Pompeii.
‘Crianças devem correr riscos’, afirmam especialistas
Se equilibrar no muro. Subir na árvore. Tomar banho de chuva. Cair, se machucar, levantar. Diz o ditado popular que “quem não arrisca, não petisca”. Ou, em outras palavras, nada pode ser alcançado sem correr riscos. E se isso vale para a diversão, vale também para outros desafios da vida.
Want to Increase Brain Oxygenation? Locomotion May Be Key
Sometimes, it takes neuroscientists much longer than one might expect to substantiate everyday observations that seem like common sense.
Gamma-ray laser moves a step closer to reality
A physicist at the University of California, Riverside, has performed calculations showing hollow spherical bubbles filled with a gas of positronium atoms are stable in liquid helium.
Why is 18 the age of adulthood if the brain can take 30 years to mature?
Neuroscience research suggests it might be time to rethink our ideas about when exactly a child becomes an adult.
Research suggests that most human brains take about 25 years to develop, though these rates can vary among men and women, and among individuals.
- Although the human brain matures in size during adolescence, important developments within the prefrontal cortex and other regions still take place well into one’s 20s.
- The findings raise complex ethical questions about the way our criminal justice systems punishes criminals in their late teens and early 20s.
At what age does someone become an adult? Many might say that the 18th birthday marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. After all, that’s the age at which people can typically join the military and become fully independent in the eyes of the law.
But in light of research showing our brains develop gradually over the course of several decades, and at different paces among individuals, should we start rethinking how we categorize children and adults?
How Hackers Can Use Your Boarding Pass To Easily Steal Personal Information
Your boarding pass contains a lot more data that you might realize.
Etay Maor, chief security officer at global threat intelligence firm IntSights, travels often. In fact, he took more than 100 flights over the past year. During his trips, he noticed a troubling trend: Passengers leaving their boarding passes behind on the plane.
“The problem is, people don’t realize that all your personal information is encoded right there,” Maor said. Some airlines keep more information than others, he noted, but even the most basic information can be used to gather more details about you.
If that has you worried (and honestly, it should), here’s a look at what kind of information can be unlocked with a boarding pass and what you can do to protect yourself.
