Alzheimer's doctors also reported new discoveries about certain lifestyle factors that may accelerate or slow the dementia that often precedes Alzheimer's. Swedish psychologists studied rates of the disease in a sample of 1,449 people over a period of 21 years. They found, as previous research has suggested, that single people have up to twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's as their married counterparts. But what was unexpected was the finding that the reason for a person's singlehood impacts his or her risk. Compared with other singletons, people who were single as a result of divorce...
...overall cinema takings rose slightly in 2007, helped by flashy new movie houses like West Kowloon's Grand Cinema, where are seats wired to shudder and shake along with the mostly imported on-screen action. But now, tough times loom and the industry's recovery is by no means certain. The only real prospect of hope on the horizon, selling films to China, is also fraught with compromise...
...important to remember just what we are fretting about. A trade dispute - a trade war, even - is a far cry from a real one, the sort of war fought with bullets and bombs. Not so long ago, doomsayers predicted a rising China or India would lead to certain conflict with established powers. Instead, both countries are active players in a system that, creaking though it may be, has helped drag tens of millions of people out of poverty. Sure, we disagree. But we're doing it in meeting rooms in Switzerland, not across some corpse-littered field...
...rosy and grim. Indian companies will buy more foreign businesses and more Indian children will starve. In economic terms, India has become neither the U.S. nor Sudan, but something in between - a Latin American republic with an entrenched class chasm. Higher levels of crime and social unrest are almost certain to follow. For years or decades to come, we will not be able to talk of one destiny for all the people of the country. Aravind Adiga is the author of the novel The White Tiger
There is huge variation in how people are affected by loud sound, however, and this is an area where a number of researchers are conducting studies. Certainly a huge part of this is underlying genetics. We know how much sound causes how much hearing loss based on studies that were conducted in the late '60s and early '70s, before employers were required to protect workers' hearing in noisy work environments. What was found is that when people are exposed to a certain level of noise every day for a certain duration, they're going to have a certain degree...
