SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by JaseCaseMedical.com
Well, this is one of the best arguments I’ve ever seen for a visit to the gym before work: A new study has found that workouts aren’t just good for the body – they also keep your brain in top gear for a full 24 hours. Researchers from University College London said their study suggests that daily moderate exercise could not only help people keep their mental edge well into old age, it also offers improved memory the very next day. They found that study participants between 50-83 years-old who did more physical activity than usual benefited from a sustained cognitive boost that could have significant implications for brain health. They say a full workout isn’t even required – just something as simple as a brisk walk, or another activity that gets your heart rate up.

The
word “oxymoron” is itself an oxymoron. This is because it derives
from Ancient Greek, where “oxy” means “sharp” and “moros”
means “stupid.”

Europe has sold over 500,000 hybrid cars this year.
So, you’ve picked up a bug somewhere, and now you’ve got the sniffles, and an ever-present stuffed-up nose. But here’s a good question: Does blowing your nose help, or does it make cold symptoms worse? Dr. Peter Filip, a rhinologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, recently told CNN that the human nose creates 1 to 2 liters of mucus daily, and “when we’re sick, the nose thickens mucus to trap viruses. Nose blowing pushes out the thick mucus, giving us a respite.” But before you blow your honker like a foghorn, the doc would like to emphasize that nose blowing is most helpful when done correctly. Forceful blowing can actually worsen your cold symptoms, by pushing mucus back into the sinuses. It can also cause ear pain, headaches and nosebleeds. Filip suggests you opt for gentle nose blowing. Try placing a finger on the opposite nostril to close it. Then, blow gently so air and mucus are ejected through the side you’re trying to clear. It’s also a good idea to use softer and moisturized tissue to prevent irritation on the outside of the nose. Some also include aloe and menthol to sooth the skin. While nose blowing can provide temporary relief, Filip says there are more effective ways of clearing out that mucus, and helping in the long run. Such as? Some experts recommend abandoning the tissues altogether and stocking up on saltwater sprays. Nasal decongestants can also help relieve congestion quickly – but never use them for more than 3 days.

A UK phone giant has created an AI tool that sounds like an elderly grandmother – designed to keep phone scammers on calls, and away from the general public. O2 said that the so-called “scambaiter”, named ‘Daisy’ has been successful in keeping numerous scammers on calls for up to 40 minutes at a time, frustrating them with meandering stories and explanations about their tech use, as well as providing false personal information and made-up bank details. By tricking fraudsters into thinking they were scamming a real person, Daisy has prevented them from targeting real victims, and has exposed the common tactics used so the firm can help customers better protect themselves.

THE WORST MOVIES OF 2024:
According to industry publication “Variety” critics Owen Gleiberman and Peter Debruge…
✪ Poolman: Chris Pine plays a long-haired pool cleaner who’s sort of like the Dude, except he’s a Dude whose brains are leaking out his ears. It’s all dithering half-jokes, wrapped around a conspiracy plot that has the same relation to “Chinatown” that boxed wine has to Chateau Lafite Rothschild.
✪ Rumours: A group of world leaders, led by Cate Blanchett as a haughty Angela Merkel knockoff, meet at the G7 summit, then get lost in the woods, where they wind up talking in the most phantasmagorically dull way. Political “satire” that turns into satirical torture.
✪ Reagan: Dennis Quaid plays Reagan, who is driven by exactly one issue — fighting Communism — and the movie, cutting historical corners right and left, turns him into the ranch-hand superhero who singlehandedly defeated it. It’s like watching an infomercial for an aw-shucks cult leader.
✪ The End: A stultifying post-apocalyptic left-wing chamber-drama musical set entirely in a bunker, it’s the kind of movie that makes you feel like time itself has stopped.
✪ Lisa Frankenstein: What’s shockingly lame about this teen-girl-raises-boyfriend-from-the-dead flick is that it feels like the world’s most needlessly overcomplicated “SNL” sketch.
✪ Dogman: This 3rd-rate “Joker” rip-off is ill-conceived on every level — a convoluted act of misplaced empathy in which a cop struggles to tame a traumatized outsider who was literally raised in a doghouse.
✪ The Mouse Trap: There must be an upside to beloved cultural icons entering the public domain, but this ain’t it. A dreary horror movie about a dude who goes homicidal after watching “Steamboat Willie, with zero scares.
✪ Not Another Church Movie: 19 years after “Diary of the Mad Black Woman”, Tyler Perry is still churning out the same sausage. This one badgers everyone from Oprah to Judge Hatchett, squandering cameos from Jamie Foxx as God and Mickey Rourke as a sickly-looking Satan in a red cape and lingerie.
✪ Harold and the Purple Crayon: In the book upon which it is based, a boy draws whatever comes to mind. Why is it that children’s movies preach to us about the importance of imagination, but when it comes to showing any, they come up short?
✪ Rebel Moon: Director’s Cut: Can you think of anything more gratuitous or unnecessary than a 2-part “Star Wars” knockoff directed by pop-culture remix artist Zack Snyder? How about a bloodier 6-hour director’s cut of that same movie?
