Wireless

Some people ask me why, being a software developer, I have cables rather than wireless in my home. Here’s one reason:
“A doctor I know set up a local Wi-Fi network in his house so he and his wife could work on their computers without running network cables all over. When he turned on the transmitter for the Wi-Fi, his wife immediately developed arrhythmia. He is a cardiologist so he knows for sure what it was. He turned off the Wi-Fi and her arrhythmia stopped. This increased ill effect of digital signals is most likely due to the sharp edge of the square wave where the differential of the change of the signal approaches infinity.”

TV Ads Linked to Childhood Obesity

TV is bad for you in so many ways. First it promotes inactivity rather than activity. That is mentally and physically damaging. The more time sitting, the worse your mental and physical health. The rays from the TV do you no good and the messages are often less desirable than you would choose let alone being one piece of the jigsaw puzzle of programmed disinformation and mind control. Now the latest research links junk food ads on TV to childhood obesity.

Creepy app uses Twitter and Flickr data to track anyone on a map

When you post a photo online — especially from a phone with a built-in camera — you’re likely sharing more than the picture itself. The same is true for updates you post on Twitter. Location data is commonly included, and crafty types can do all kinds of creepy things with that information.

Glucose Stimulates Brain, Fructose Generates Hibernate Mode

From the Chicago Tribune: “The researchers … found that ‘cortical control areas’ — broad swaths of gray matter that surrounded the hypothalamus — responded quite differently to the infusion of fructose than they did to glucose. Across the limited regions of the brain they scanned… …glucose significantly raised the level of neural activity for about 20 minutes following the infusion. Fructose had the opposite effect, causing activity in the same areas to drop and stay low for 20 minutes after the infusion.”

…it’s easy to see how and why fructose—mainly in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—is in large part responsible for the meteoric rise of obesity and its related health problems.
It’s a staple ingredient in a vast majority of sweetened beverages and processed foods of all kinds, from pre-packaged meals to baked goods and condiments. And the number one source of calories in America is soda, in the form of HFCS!
