Λινξ 17: Πέντε Πράγματα Για Διάβασμα
1) Μην κάθεσαι: Κινδυνεύεις να πεθάνεις
Άλλη μια σοβαρή έρευνα (άλλη μία -κι άλλη μία) δείχνει πως το καθισιό έχει άμεση σχέση με το θάνατο: Άνθρωποι που κάθονται περισσότερο πεθαίνουν νωρίτερα από αυτούς που περνάνε περισσότερο διάστημα της ζωής τους όρθιοι. Δεν είναι πια αστείο.
Its most striking finding was that people who sat more than 11 hours a day had a 40% higher risk of dying in the next three years than people who sat less than four hours a day. This was after adjusting for factors such as age, weight, physical activity and general health status, all of which affect the death risk. It also found a clear dose-response effect: the more people sat, the higher their risk of death.
2) Το απίστευτο ναυάγιο του Costa Concordia: Όλη η ιστορία
Ολόκληρη η ιστορία αυτού του τρομερού ατυχήματος, όπως την κατέγραψε ο Μπράιαν Μπόροους του Vanity Fair από συνεντεύξεις και διαρροές καταθέσεων των εμπλεκομένων αξιωματικών. Instapaper this, είναι πολύ ενδιαφέρον.
Claudio Masia, a 49-year-old Italian, waiting with his wife, their two children, and his elderly parents, lost patience. “I am not ashamed to say that I pushed people and used my fists to secure a place” for his wife and children, he later told an Italian newspaper. Returning for his parents, Masia had to carry his mother, who was in her 80s, into a boat. When he returned for his father, Giovanni, an 85-year-old Sardinian, he had vanished. Masia ran up and down the deck, searching for him, but Giovanni Masia was never seen again.
