Hybride..

 


On Wednesday, Apple announced that it would once again postpone its plan to bring employees back to the office. It isn't the first time, and Apple isn't the first company to put plans on hold as Covid-19 cases surge in many areas across the world. Apple had said it planned to implement a hybrid work arrangement starting in February, with most employees coming to the office three days a week.
Now, however, Apple says it's taking a different approach, and it might be the first return to the office plan that makes sense. That's according to a report from Bloomberg, which cited a memo from Tim Cook to employees.
 
The idea is that employees who feel comfortable returning to the office can do so. For everyone else, the company is keeping everything the same. Well, with the exception of the fact that Apple is now giving employees $1,000 to use for their work-from-home needs, as a part of the company's "commitment to a more flexible environment." According to Bloomberg, that includes retail employees. 
"These funds are intended to help you with your home workspace and can be used as you see fit," Cook said in the memo.
There are two things that stand out. The first is that the company seems to finally have recognized that the best thing you can do for your employees is to give them flexibility and control over their work environment.

Researchers looked at nearly 850 people over age 65 living in two different regions in France. In addition to tracking their diet over a 12-year period, participants regularly underwent five different types of neuropsychological tests to detect signs of cognitive decline.)

Participants who ate more polyphenol-packed foods and those with certain metabolites showed significantly lower risk of cognitive impairment and dementia as they aged. These include apples, blueberries, cocoa, coffee, green tea, mushrooms, oranges, pomegranates, and red wine.

"The takeaway from the study is that a higher intake of fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods provides polyphenols and other bioactive compounds that could help reduce risk of cognitive decline related to aging," says study lead Cristina Andrés-Lacueva, Ph.D., from the Nutrition and Food Science Department at the University of Barcelona in Spain.

Not only do these foods seem to be protective on their own, but they may also work in concert together to boost brain health, she adds. That's particularly true if they push out less-healthy dietary choices like artificial sweeteners, which proved to have a negative impact on cognitive impairment in the study.

Active..

 



In a new study, researchers have identified an association between light-intensity physical exercise in older adults and a reduced risk of dementia.

The researchers split participants into four groups depending on how active they were: inactive, insufficiently active, active, and highly active.

They found that insufficiently active participants had a 10% reduced risk of developing dementia compared with inactive participants.

Active participants had a 20% reduced risk, while highly active participants had a 28% reduced risk.

The findings remained the same even after accounting for age, sex, and incidence of stroke and other comorbidities.

Medical News Today spoke with Dr. Boyoung Joung, a professor of internal medicine at Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and the study’s corresponding author. He said that “[i]n our study, we would like to emphasize that even light-intensity physical activity, as opposed to total sedentary behavior, could lead to a reduction in risk of dementia.”

“Therefore, older adults who cannot perform activity beyond moderate-intensity physical activity, due to frailty or comorbidities, could benefit from light-intensity physical activity.”

Vice President Kamala Harris is of the view that if she were a white man, the media coverage of her would be different. 

This is according to a report from The New York Times, which spoke to several White House sources about Harris' current position in the administration. 

Harris has been confiding in allies that she thought the news would cover her differently if she were white and male, attributing some of her negative press coverage — particularly in conservative media outlets — to race and gender.

Harris and President Joe Biden have struggled with historically low job approval ratings, with Harris more unpopular than any vice president in modern history.

With that rating and problems accumulating, it is better to be someone else. 

Just a thought.

Protein...



 A wealth of research has linked protein to favorable lifestyle markers such as healthy body weight and/or weight loss, maintaining and building muscle, and overall diet satisfaction.

 When you’re looking for ways to improve your health, manage your weight or satisfy your appetite, consider all that protein can do for you:

People who eat a higher-protein diet (about 30% of daily calories from protein) feel more satisfied, which may help prevent overeating. 

Protein helps support strong, lean bodies. Eating at least 4 ounces of high-quality protein from foods like beef at each meal provides your body with energy to lead an active lifestyle.

Protein may help cut the fat. Research has shown exercise is more effective for weight management when paired with a higher-protein diet, and beef provides the amino acids necessary for building and replenishing muscles.

HQ..

 

So much pressure Senator Joe Manchin is facing from his Democratic party against the interest of his State. 

He should be considered a hero by the Democrats for rejecting so much foolishness.

 What will he do?

He can wait until the next election where the Republican expected to get more seats in US. Senate, or switch seat today, and screw up the whole party's control. It is a one's man heroic act. The Dems ought to recognize him before the party's destruction happens.  Just a thought.

Just a thought.

CNN..

The heroes of CNN in 2020. Where are they now?

The Media, in order to fill their 24 hours with just anything, created heroes. During which a big deception occurred to validate what they are driving to. The goal is their own enrichment and ratings.
