Fernando Kaskais

Four out of five people regularly stop breathing while typing emails, according to studies conducted by former Apple executive Linda Stone. The condition, which health professionals are calling “email apnea,” may lead to serious health consequences. “If people are in a stressful situation, perhaps having to deal with some stressful communication, they might end up holding their breath,” said Edward Grandi, executive director of the American Sleep Apnea Association. “It’s not just email, it’s email and texting.” Gizmodo blogger Adam Clark Estes wrote that he had noticed the condition in himself, whenever he was concentrating on writing an especially difficult … Continue reading Four out of five people stop breathing correctly when typing an email

Fernando Kaskais

This week marks the start of the annual eat-too-much and move-too-little holiday season, with its attendant declining health and surging regrets. But a well-timed new study suggests that a daily bout of exercise should erase or lessen many of the injurious effects, even if you otherwise lounge all day on the couch and load up on pie. To undertake this valuable experiment, which was published online in The Journal of Physiology, scientists at the University of Bath in England rounded up a group of 26 healthy young men. All exercised regularly. None were obese. Baseline health assessments, including biopsies of … Continue reading The Power of a Daily Bout of Exercise

Q – How normal is it to get up and urinate three times a night? I am a 67-year-old woman and my frequent urination is interfering with my sleep. A – Waking to urinate at night is common, especially among older adults, and most doctors agree that getting up to urinate once a night is not generally a problem.

How Safe Is Cycling? It’s Hard to Say

Fernando Kaskais

Until his bike slid out of control while he was going 35 miles an hour downhill around a sharp turn, Dr. Harold Schwartz thought cycling accidents were something that happened to other people. Now, after recovering from a fractured pelvis, Dr. Schwartz, 65, the vice president for behavioral health at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut, has changed his mind. “No one is immune,” he said in an interview. Like many avid cyclists, he is convinced that it is not if you crash. It’s when. But Rob Coppolillo, 43, who was an elite level amateur bicycle racer for 10 years, led cycling … Continue reading How Safe Is Cycling? It’s Hard to Say

AI Reality Check In Online Dating

Fernando Kaskais

“Researchers have developed an online dating system that not only matches you with partners you’ll find attractive, but who are also likely to find you attractive too. The researchers at the University of Iowa have addressed an underlying problem of online dating sites. There’s no doubt that such sites are ever increasing in popularity, and have good algorithms taking into account the reported likes, interests and hobbies of the person looking for a partner to come up with a potential match. What’s less well catered for is the trickier aspect of the reciprocal interest – you may think person x … Continue reading AI Reality Check In Online Dating

City pay explosion leaves London with 2,700 bankers earning more than a million

Fernando Kaskais

The number of UK bankers earning at least €1 million soared to more than 2,700 last year, in a new City pay explosion. The figure is 12 times more than any other country in the EU, underlining London’s dominance as Europe’s financial centre. The total rose by 11 per cent despite strenuous Government efforts to curb the damaging “bonus culture.” The figures, from the European Banking Authority, show thousands of London finance workers still measure their pay and bonuses in millions, five years after the banking crisis that triggered a devastating global recession. It is likely to renew the row … Continue reading City pay explosion leaves London with 2,700 bankers earning more than a million

Billionaire Bunkers: Beyond the Panic Room, Home Security Goes Sci-Fi

Fernando Kaskais

Elevating staircases reveal hidden secure rooms with the click of a button. Al Corbi’s residence in the Hollywood Hills has the requisite white walls covered in artwork and picture windows offering breathtaking views of downtown Los Angeles, but it has more in common with NSA headquarters than with the other contemporary homes on the block. The Corbi family doesn’t need keys (thanks to biometric recognition software), doesn’t fear earthquakes (thanks to steel-reinforced concrete caissons that burrow 30 feet into the private hilltop) and sleeps easily inside a 2,500-square-foot home within a home: a ballistics-proof panic suite that Corbi refers to … Continue reading Billionaire Bunkers: Beyond the Panic Room, Home Security Goes Sci-Fi

“Science” – The Matrix of Masonic Mind Control

Fernando Kaskais

Philip Collins explains how the Illuminati took control of science and determined our assumptions about the nature of reality. Scientists play the game or risk persecution. “The ruling class seized control of science and used it as an ‘epistemological weapon’ against the masses.” As antiquity gave way to modern history, the religious power structure shifted to an autocracy of the knowable, or a ‘scientific dictatorship.’ Subtly and swiftly, the ruling class seized control of science and used it as an ‘epistemological weapon’ against the masses. This article will show that the history and background of this ‘scientific dictatorship’ is a … Continue reading “Science” – The Matrix of Masonic Mind Control
