Experts: obesity is a bigger threat than AIDS or bird flu
March 9, 2018 · Uncategorized · (No comments)

Friday, September 8, 2006

From September 3 to 8, experts gathered at the 10th International Congress on Obesity in Sydney, Australia, to discuss what they call the worldwide “obesity epidemic”. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 billion people in the world today are overweight, and 300 million of those are obese. “Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for serious diet-related chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer“, a WHO fact sheet states. According to AP, experts at the conference “have warned that obesity is a bigger threat than AIDS or bird flu, and will easily overwhelm the world’s health care systems if urgent action is not taken”.

Of particular concern is the large number of overweight children. Dr. Stephan Rossner from Sweden’s Karolinska University Hospital, a leading obesity expert who was present at the conference, has warned that as a result of the increasing number of overweight children, “we will have, within a decade or two, a number of young people who are on kidney dialysis. There will not be organs for everybody”. UK-based International Obesity Task Force has said that junk food manufacturers target children, for example, through Internet advertising, chat rooms, text messages, and “advergames” on websites. Politicians are not doing enough to address the problem of obesity, including childhood obesity, the experts said.

According to Wikipedia, examples of junk food include, but are not limited to: hamburgers, pizza, candy, soda, and salty foods like potato chips and french fries. A well-known piece of junk food is the Big Mac. The US version of just one Big Mac burger contains 48% of calories from fat, 47% US Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of fat, 52% RDA of saturated fat, 26% RDA of cholesterol, 42% RDA of sodium, and little nutritional value. It also has 18% of calories from protein. According to WHO, most people need only about 5% calories from protein. Staples such as rice, corn, baked potatoes, pinto beans, as well as fruits and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, oranges, and strawberries, provide more than this required amount of protein without the unhealthy amounts of fats or sodium, without cholesterol, and with plenty of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Both WHO and the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define overweight in adults as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or above, and obese as a BMI of 30 or above. To combat overweight and obesity, WHO recommends that, among other things, people should be taking the following steps

  • eating more fruit and vegetables, as well as nuts and whole grains;
  • engaging in daily moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes;
  • cutting the amount of fatty, sugary foods in the diet;
  • moving from saturated animal-based fats to unsaturated vegetable-oil based fats.

“Creationism and intelligent design have no place in the UK science curriculum” says UK Government
March 8, 2018 · Uncategorized · (No comments)

Tuesday, June 26, 2007

The Government is clear that creationism and intelligent design are not part of the science National Curriculum programmes of study and should not be taught as science.

The U.K. government defined Intelligent Design along with creationism as religion and ruled that neither has a place within the country’s school science curriculum.

This was in reaction to an electronic petition launched by James Rocks of the “Science, Just Science” campaign, a group formed to oppose “Truth in Science” and other groups in the anti-evolution lobby in the UK. The petition was signed by 1,505 people.

In the petition details, Rocks wrote, “Creationism & Intelligent design are greatly featured in the media and are being used disingenuously to portray science & the theory of evolution as being in crisis when they are not. Moreover groups such as Truth in Science are targeting our nation’s children and their science education with material that is not only non-scientific but have been rejected by the scientific community. These ideas therefore do not constitute science, cannot be considered scientific education and therefore do not belong in the nation’s science classrooms.”

A spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s office wrote: “The (UK) Government is aware that a number of concerns have been raised in the media and elsewhere as to whether creationism and intelligent design have a place in science lessons. The [UK] Government is clear that creationism and intelligent design are not part of the science National Curriculum programmes of study and should not be taught as science.”

The government will also be “publishing guidance for schools, on the way creationism and intelligent design relate to science teaching”.

Keep your water cooler in top condition: 5 tips

by

Eden Springs

In a packed office a water dispenser will certainly get some good use – hydration is essential for productivity and there’s nothing better than an ice cold drink of water. But if you want to keep your water cooler performing to it’s best – providing clean, uncontaminated water – and avoid an unnecessary maintenance call out then follow these tips:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A53UCjt8LMg[/youtube]

#1 Clean it yourself regularly Yes you may get a scheduled sanitisation and cleaning visit every month or so, but to keep you water cooler at its best you need to do your bit occasionally. Use a special cleaning kit provided by your water cooler supplier, containing a cleaning spray that doesn’t effect the water and machine and tools for cleaning those hard to reach areas. # Don’t bottle it up While filling up a water bottled for your desk might seem like a good idea, you’re actually more likely to transfer bacteria and viruses by refilling a bottle. The problem is people often put the bottle mouth against the water tap, transferring any bugs to the system and other users. You won’t be thanked for passing on a cold, so keep you distance (you can use a glass). # Don’t overflow you drip! The water cooler’s drip tray is prime for contamination, as often companies neglect to empty it and water can sit for some time. Plus, when it starts leaking onto the floor it’s assumed there’s a leak and a pointless maintenance visit is arranged. Avoid it by emptying and cleaning the drip tray regularly. # Locate your cooler bottle Water cooler bottles should be kept in clean, cool and dry surrounding out of sunlight. Light can degrade the bottle material and effect the water, while you should also keep the bottles off the floor to avoid the chance of contamination from liquids like cleaning fluids. # Do you have power? To get tasty cooled water you’ll need a power source for your cooler, so make sure you’re plugged in! It’s actually quite common for the cooler to be unplugged by cleaners without being plugged in, so your water is left far from its best. And you may even think the cooler is broken and request another maintenance visit – error! So always remember to check the plug first.

Times Square shuts down due to suspicious vehicle
March 6, 2018 · Uncategorized · (No comments)

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Times Square was shut down today due to a suspicious vehicle parked on 42nd Street and Broadway in New York. Police cordoned the area surrounding the white 1992 Dodge van to investigate the auto. The van has temporary license plates and tinted windows with tarps covering them.

The nearby NASDAQ building was evacuated, and reports from CBS said the Conde Nast building had been partially evacuated.

The investigation disrupted preparations for the New Year’s eve ball drop atop One Times Square, although it still appears that the celebration will continue unaffected.

The investigation comes a day after police commissioner Raymond Kelly was interviewed by local TV outlet, WNBC, about how the city is after recent terrorist activity. “Reality is that New York is the number one target in this country […] But it has been doing more than any other city in America and probably the world,” he said on the topic that New York had adequate counter-terrorism procedure. Wikinews contacted the New York City Police Department, but they had no comment about the specific issue at this time.

Yahoo!7 creates joint venture with Xtra

Yahoo!7 creates joint venture with Xtra
March 6, 2018 · Uncategorized · (No comments)

Thursday, December 14, 2006

Xtra, owned by New Zealand telecommunication monopoly company Telecom, has created a joint venture between themselves and Yahoo!7, creating Yahoo Xtra. Yahoo!7 is the joint venture between Yahoo! and Australian network, Seven.

The join venture replaces the current and long-lasting partnership between Microsoft and Xtra, called XtraMSN. The current partnership’s contract will expire at the end of this year. Telecom chose to change the partnership because Yahoo! has worked together with BT Group, Verizon and Rogers Communications.

The new site, along with new online content will go online on around March 1, 2007.

The partnership will result in Yahoo!7 taking 51% control of the partnership and Xtra taking the remaining 49%.

Kevin Kenrick, chief operating officer of Telecom, said that they will now be able to target the underdeveloped online advertising community. “We see there is a fantastic opportunity to grow online advertising and the share of the online market. Online advertising in New Zealand is getting to a tipping point of growth where there is a critical mass of online connections, broadband connections and an increase in the amount of time people are spending online.”

When the new site is launched, it will include a range of news, sport, weather, enhanced e-mail spam and virus protection, photo sharing, and internet radio.

Theresa Gattung, chief executive of Telecom, said: “The Yahoo Xtra joint venture will provide New Zealanders with access to the world’s best online services in a localised way.”

Ian Smith, chief executive of Yahoo!7, said: “The company was achieving market growth of online advertising of between 50 and 60 per cent a year in Australia and believed it could do the same in New Zealand.” He said that the partnership will give them a great opportunity to showcase its tools, technology and platforms in New Zealand.

Mr Kenrick said that the reason they had gotten a partnership with Yahoo!7 was that it is very difficult for a small player to develop its services in a New Zealand size market.

One other online company Xtra had considered for the partnership was Google, among others. The reason they chose Yahoo!7 over other companies was because Yahoo!7 has the top position in big fields such as TV and video. Mr Kenrick said: “The whole area of content management is one we thought would benefit from others with greater expertise and more scope.”

Telecom manages 80% of the telecommunication market.

Wind-powered land vehicle breaks speed record
March 6, 2018 · Uncategorized · (No comments)

Saturday, March 28, 2009

Richard Jenkins, an engineer from the United Kingdom, broke a record for the fastest speed attained in a wind-powered land vehicle on Friday.

Jenkins managed to reach a speed of 126.1 miles per hour (202.9 kilometres per hour) in his Greenbird car along the plains of Nevada’s Ivanpah Lake.

Jenkins said that he had worked for ten years to break the record, and that “things couldn’t have been better” on the day he broke the record. “It’s great. It’s one of those things that you spend so long trying to do and when it actually happens, it’s almost too easy,” he said to the BBC.

“It has been an incredibly difficult challenge. Half the challenge is technical, having to create a more efficient vehicle than the previous record holder, then the rest is luck, being in the right place, at the right time, to get the perfect conditions, with the right people watching. I must have been on record standby at some remote location around the world for at least two months of every year for the past ten years,” he said. “Then everything came together perfectly and the Greenbird stepped up to the mark and performed amazingly. I am absolutely delighted.”

The previous record for the fastest wind-powered land vehicle belonged to Bob Schumacher from the United States, who reached 116 miles per hour in his Iron Duck machine.

The Greenbird is a fifth generation in an array of vehicles created by Jenkins in his ten-year effort to break the speed record. It is composed out of carbon fibre composite, and powered only by wind. According to Jenkins, it weighs 600 kilograms.
