Women are ever feels stressed out by more with bad news

Women are ever feels stressed out by more to the negative news in the media
With the arrival of the television channels that offer specialized coverage 24 hours a day, Internet and smart phones, the possibility to be in permanent contact with the media has increased dramatically in recent decades.

In spite of this increased access to information, has not yet been extensively studied the impact that exposure to the media has on health.

Given that the majority of the information that is transmitted in the media is negative, and that before the perception of a threat, either actual or implied, the brain activates the stress system, which leads to the secretion of the hormone cortisol, in a recent study the researchers was designed to determine the reaction that produce the negative news in healthy people.

The researchers found that while reading the news not neutral or negative has led to a significant increase in cortisol levels in both men and women, specifically among the women, exposure to the negative news, resulted in a significant increase in the physiologic reactivity to a stressor later.

This means that women are more susceptible to the negative news and have, in addition, a greater memory of such news that the men, resulting in stress.

Pepe Mujica responds to the Mundo and ABC Newspapers

As well responded Pepe Mujica, president of Uruguay, to the public notes that the Spanish press - the ABC newspaper and the ElMundo newspaper - that referred to it as The president more poor.

[ In Spanish http://www.elmundo.es/america/2012/05/25/noticias/1337961914.html ]

I am not poor, poor are those who believe that I'm poor. I have few things, it is true, the minimum, but only to be rich.
I want to have time to dedicate to the things that motivate me. And if there were many things would have to deal with them and could not do what I really like. That is the true freedom, austerity, consume little. The small house, in order to be able to devote time to what I really enjoy.
If not, I would have to have one employee, and already would have an interventionist inside the house. And if I have many things I have to devote to care for that I am not the lead. No, with three rooms reaches me. We spent the broom them between my wife and myself; and already, it is over. Then if we have time for what really excites us. We are not poor.

Bitcoins discovered key combination to get them free

Some hackers Ukrainians that operate under the name of "The Mega Mans" Have managed to find a combination of keys by which achieve Bitcoins free. Read can be very Interesting, but behind this practice is hiding unrecoverable wrist injury and other family dramas.
The trick was discovered by a hacker of Kiev called Edward melted, who get frustrated by not decrypt the keys of the Wi-Fi to its neighbor by a Linux distribution, began testing impossible combinations of keys. The big surprise came when he realized that he was generating Bitcoins without any kind of control.

The first impulse of melted was calling his ex-girlfriend to tell, but as reported The Wrong Street Journal, he decided to go to the local that The Mega Mans share and tell the rest of the members its discovery. Attempting to replicate these key combinations came the first injury. The news spread fast and the hospitals of the city began to fill with computer wrist sprains with severe, something not seen since the release of Starcraft I.

In ALT1040 we have managed to find the famous combination of keys, but we are not responsible for any damage that may cause to the readers. Unfortunately, today's computers are able to detect if a person or several, so they can try again you alone:

- Control + ESC + F12 + Asterisk (with left hand)
- Up arrow + F3 + R + Z (with right hand)

In the video above you can see a member of the Mega Mans trying to the combination of keys with meager results. For the moment, it has not reached any official statement on the part of Coin Farrell, directly responsible for this virtual currency. What is clear is that this discovery will make both the Bitcoin as to the extremities of many hackers with monetary ambitions.

Do not fall into the trap, there is no way to get passwords in Facebook.

Already i lost count of the number of times that i was labelling this weekend by contacts that have fallen into this trap that surely already wears on Facebook; these are publications in which, through a code that is inserted using Google Chrome, you promise to be able to get the password of the account of any person in that social network. It is clear that everything is false, so i decided to create this post to share and help your friends to avoid being victims of this lie.

I am sincere in that I have very little knowledge of programming and codes, but i have researched in this regard, is that what you do when you follow each of these steps is to get name likes to pages and publications on Facebook that work and get money doing spam; some experts call this type of attacks "Self XSS". In other words, use the credentials and permissions of users who perform the process for their own benefits.

Well you know that already, it leaves behind the curiosity and avoid falling into this type of trap that not only endangers your privacy, but it also puts you in ridicule by exposing yourself as a curious person you want to know about the lives of others. Remember that the security of Facebook is very high, to make this type of actions is almost impossible.

Soon transplants of neurons

Predict that will be successful transplants of neurons very soon.

As part of the European study TRANS-EURO, at the beginning of 2015-16, five patients with Parkinson's disease will be submitted to transplants of neurons in the HSkåne University Hospital of Lund, Sweden.

These are the first operations of this type in Europe for more than 10 years.

After many years will be carried out again transplants of neurons, which gives hope to many patients who suffer from Parkinson's disease. Credit: Depositphotos.

The Transeuropean study, which in Sweden is being led by the University of Lund, is now taking a critical approach to the viability of the cell therapy as a future treatment for Parkinson's disease.

Can we replace the cells that die as a result of our neurological diseases more common? What are the therapies of the future for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease?

Under the direction of professor of neurology Olle Lindwall, researchers from the University of Lund had already developed a method of transplantation of nerve cells in the 1980s.

In 1987, the neurosurgeon Stig Rehncrona operated the first patient. This study was historic, and marked the first repair of the human nervous system.

"From the progress made in the 1980s and 1990s, the field of research has been found with many obstacles.

At the beginning of the decade of 2000, two American studies reported a negative result, which led to the cell transplants for Parkinson's disease to a blind alley", said professor Anders Björklund, who in the 1980s was responsible for the innovative discoveries.

Despite the unsatisfactory results presented at the us trials, has even been considered that the cell therapy can have effects that are completely unique in the history of research on Parkinson's disease.

A third of patients who have received transplants, have benefited significantly from the cell therapy, and have not had to take medication for very long periods of time, in some cases up to 20 years.

"For a disease with a regimen of medication administered very demanding, and for which, the effects of the standard medication begin to decrease after 5 to 10 years, the cell therapy represents a hope for a different kind of life for many patients with Parkinson's disease," said Professor Håkan Widner, which is responsible for the recruitment of patients in Lund.

"The results of TRANS-EURO will play an important role in the immediate future of the cell therapy as a viable treatment.

We have analyzed the American studios that failed in an attempt to improve the technique, in order to improve the selection of patients and perform more custom tracking.

We hope that the results will be different this time," concluded professor Widner.

When robots invade the kitchen

Robots that prepare hamburgers in just 10 seconds, vending machines that cook five types of burritos in an instant…Science fiction?

As science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov predicted a half a century ago, the kitchens of the future “will prepare ‘automeals’, heating water and converting it to coffee; toasting bread; frying, poaching or scrambling eggs, grilling bacon, and so on”. This is an excerpt from the essay that he wrote for The New York Times in which he gave his predictions about what a hypothetical World’s Fair would be like fifty years later. And he wasn’t too far off. “What will life be like, say, in 2014 A.D., 50 years from now? What is to come, through the fair’s eyes at least, is wonderful. I don’t know, but I can guess”, he said.
Much more than what Asimov imagined is reality in our day-to-day lives. Robots that prepare deluxe hamburgers instantly, vending machines that prepare delicious burritos to order, restaurants with robotic staff…All of this isn’t taken from a science-fiction film from George Lucas or the Sony Animation factory; they are inventions that are already out there and that are making our lives even easier, if that’s possible.

RoboBurgerBoy

The RoboBurgerBoy is the latest in robotics for the restaurant industry. San Francisco robotics company Momentum Machines developed this machine, which can prepare hamburgers in 10 seconds, or in other words, 360 hamburgers an hour! Yes, you read that right. A deluxe hamburger served “just out of the oven”. Toasting bread, preparing the meat, cutting the vegetables, putting the right quantities of each ingredient…the RoboBurgerBoy does it all.

This real-life Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator (FLDSMDFR from the movie ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’) has a series of tubes that holds each one of the ingredients of a complete burger. The machine will be installed in restaurants, stores, food trucks, airports and even vending machines.
The team is already working on the next model, which will personalise the burgers even more, because it will be able to mix different meats and use new cooking techniques that are out of reach of fast-food restaurants.
Along this same line, we can’t forget the Burrito Box, a vending machine that is already being used by everyone who passes through a service station in Santa Monica, California. The Burrito Box dispenses five different varieties of delicious burritos.
What makes the Burrito Box different from other vending machines is the preparation, because it makes the burrito when the consumer presses the button. The meat is steamed using a patented mechanism, which means that the product comes out juicy and is a far cry from reheated dishes. As with the RoboBurgerBoy, the developers of this machine say that they use quality products: fresh meat, organic vegetable products…. And all in just 60 seconds and for 2 euros!

Robotic restaurants

And of course in Japan and China, restaurants are being transformed by new technologies. They are saying goodbye to flesh-and-bone staff and hello to robotic precision. This melding of food and technology has helped lower restaurant prices, which have replaced a large part of their workers with smart machines that are in charge of preparing and adding the final touches to the oriental dishes.
One clear example of this is the Chef Cui robot cook, which is programmed to slice noodles, a food that is in high demand in Asian countries. Chef Cui does two things: slice and empty the noodles into a bowl of water, and it also has coloured lights, although we’re not sure why. Also, a year ago China opened a a restaurant with 20 robots as waiters and waitresses. The restaurant has robots ready to cook Chinese dumplings, make noodles, fry vegetables, deliver the food orders, carry the food and drink menu and greet guests, among other things. Pure magic!
Little by little, robots are invading the restaurant industry and are replacing professional workers, such as cooks, waiters, kitchen helpers, etc. You could say that we’re in a time of change, in which a new business model that democratises fast, quality food is under construction. What will kitchens be like in 2064? We hope that someone is willing to venture a guess, so that in 50 years, our children and grandchildren will be able to see just how right, or crazy, we were.
