Study finds Loneliness is Contagious

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:38:46 GMT

Loneliness, long linked to mental and physical diseases as well as a shorter life span, is contagious and can spread among groups, a new study finds.

According to the study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, lonely people transmit their sad feelings to the people around them, causing them to become lonely and isolated from society.

women are reported to be more likely to become infected.

"When people feel lonely, they tend to be shyer, more anxious, more hostile, more socially awkward and lower in self-esteem,"

As people become lonely, they become less trustful and the cycle of their friends therefore becomes smaller. Societies similarly have a natural tendency to shed these lonely individuals.

Such reinforcing effects induce other individuals to act in negative ways and cause the spread of the feeling known as emotional contagion among those with whom the lonely individual interacts with.

Cancer From The Kitchen

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:16:18 GMT

clipper's remarks: "I asked these doctors what they do in their own homes to reduce risks. They said that they avoid microwaving food in plastic or putting plastics in the dishwasher, because heat may cause chemicals to leach out. And the symposium handed out a reminder card listing “safer plastics” as those marked (usually at the bottom of a container) 1, 2, 4 or 5.

It suggests that the “plastics to avoid” are those numbered 3, 6 and 7 (unless they are also marked “BPA-free”). Yes, the evidence is uncertain, but my weekend project is to go through containers in our house and toss out 3’s, 6’s and 7’s. "

The battle over health care focuses on access to insurance, or tempests like the one that erupted over new mammogram guidelines.

What if breast cancer in the United States has less to do with insurance or mammograms and more to do with contaminants in our water or air -- or in certain plastic containers in our kitchens?

Younger people also seem to be developing breast cancer: This year a 10-year-old in California, Hannah, is fighting breast cancer and recording her struggle on a blog.

What’s happening? One theory starts with the well-known fact that women with more lifetime menstrual cycles are at greater risk for breast cancer, because they’re exposed to more estrogen.

It’s also well established that Western women are beginning puberty earlier, and going through menopause later.

One class of chemicals that creates concern — although the evidence is not definitive — is endocrine disruptors

These endocrine disruptors are found in everything from certain plastics to various cosmetics.

Black In The Age Of Obama

clipper's remarks: Over the decades, conservatives and Republicans have forged and fueled fears of blacks coming after your teenage daughters, your wife, your stereo, your tax money, your job, your kid's college admissions, and the music your kids listen to.

It's out in the forefront again with the offensive images on Google. Any so called justification for that hatred such as one clipper posed here on CM is nothing but a smoke screen for the malevolence that lives in his heart.

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

A hundred and fifty years ago, Charles Dickens opened “A Tale of Two Cities” with the now-famous phrase: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. ...”

Last year, blacks dared to dream anew, envisioning a future in which Obama’s election would be the catalyst for an era of prosperity and more racial harmony.

Things have not gotten better. In many ways, they’ve gotten worse.

The recession, for one, has dealt a particularly punishing and uneven hand to blacks.

Things on the racial front are just as bad.

In fact, racially offensive images of the first couple are so prolific online that Google now runs an apologetic ad with the results of image searches of them.

And it’s not all words and images; it’s actions as well.

The hard truth is that Obama needs white voters more than he needs black ones.

In fact, commiserating with the blacks could prove politically problematic.

Meanwhile, black people are also living a tale of two actions: grin and bear it.

Remembrance day conman named and shamed

A Remembrance Day conman who angered veterans by marching in a parade with an impossible array of medals was named and shamed today.

Roger Day strode alongside 600 genuine war heroes wearing a beige SAS beret and a dazzling selection of 21 military medals and badges.

Thousands of well-wishers - including the recently bereaved families of servicemen killed in Afghanistan - clapped and cheered as he marched past.

Roger Day on parade and, right, at home today. He denied he'd been confronted at the parade and said afterwards he'd then gone drinking with his 'ex-SAS buddies'

But organisers became suspicious when they noticed he had medals from campaigns including World War I and II, Korea, the Falklands, awards for both officers and privates and even a foreign medal.

His striking collection of medals even included the Distinguished Service Order and Military Cross.

No single servicemen could have been awarded all the medals, and they were wrongly displayed, said experts.
