Can't get through the day without a couple of cups of joe? That might not be such a bad thing according to a new meta-analysis, which suggests that drinking just two cups of coffee a day could increase life expectancy by up to two years. For many years, scientists have been studying both the positive and negative effects of caffeine on the body. A 2017 meta-analysis, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), found that drinking three to four cups of coffee a day was associated with a lower risk of death and developing heart disease compared to drinking no coffee at all. Coffee drinking was also associated with a lower risk of some cancers, diabetes, liver disease and dementia. This latest meta-analysis, published in The European Journal of Epidemiology, has similar findings. In this research, scientists analyzed 40 previous studies exploring the link between coffee and mortality, including a total of 3,852,651 participants and 450,256 causes of death. … [Read more...] about Study: Two cups of coffee a day could help you live longer

Roman wasn’t built in a day
Roman wasn’t built in a day Lawyer Roman Romulo is so nationalistic that one of his first messages to the lady he was courting eight years ago — who now happens to be his wife — was, “Happy Independence Day!” “That was one of the first messages sent to me by Roman via text. It was the only Independence Day greeting I ever received in my life!” recalls the beauteous Shalani, who married Roman in 2012 after a whirlwind courtship. Still love-struck after all these years, Shalani is dutifully by Roman’s side as he campaigns for a seat in Congress, representing the lone district of Pasig. “Roman has his own brand of being unique and funny. He also has a quiet sense of confidence that I admire. He works hard but doesn’t like highlighting his accomplishments nor does he boast about them. Roman is a simple person but with a noble intention — to contribute in nation building,” says Shalani, who … [Read more...] about Roman wasn’t built in a day

By Rosa Saba Star Calgary Mon., April 29, 2019 CALGARY—Premier-designate Jason Kenney thanked an Alberta energy expert Monday for quitting the Alberta Energy Regulator board “a day before we could fire him.” Ed Whittingham resigned from the regulator on Sunday citing “smear” tactics by Kenney and his United Conservative Party as well as fundamental disagreements over the incoming government’s energy policies. The AER is a government corporation that is tasked with overseeing the development and management of the province’s energy resources, while also protecting water and the environment. Whittingham, who led the Pembina Institute environmental think tank from 2011 to 2017 and pushed for a cap on oilsands emissions, was named to the board in February. From Day 1, Whittingham says he was “subjected to a smear campaign without precedent in Alberta for a public appointment held by a private citizen,” according … [Read more...] about Jason Kenney thanks Alberta energy adviser for resigning ‘a day before we could fire him’
New schemes for a cleaner, greener Singapore
A new initiative to encourage people to clean their community areas will begin next month. Organised by the Public Hygiene Council, the Sustainable Bright Spot programme will be launched in stages across 12 constituencies. It was one of three fresh efforts announced yesterday by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli. "The Sustainable Bright Spot programme is aimed at encouraging residents to keep their housing estates clean," said Mr Masagos. "The hard truth is that many of us are still too dependent on an army of 58,000 workers who clean up our housing estates, roads, public walkways and waterways every day." Awareness campaigns and activities will be implemented in estates to encourage people not to drop litter and dispose of waste properly. "It is important that we continue to build a culture of reducing our waste, cleaning up after ourselves and binning our litter properly," Mr Masagos added. Twelve residents' networks have committed to be part of this … [Read more...] about New schemes for a cleaner, greener Singapore
