This Common Condition May Lead to Alzheimer’s—and Nearly 67% of People Have It This Common Condition May Lead to Alzheimer’s—and Nearly 67% of People Have It In case you needed more bad news lately, yet another new study revealed that a common health condition may be linked with Alzheimer’s and dementia—and it’s a condition so common that literally two-thirds of the world’s population has it. What is it and how can you protect yourself and your brain health? SIGN UP for tips to stay healthy & fit with the top moves, clean eats, health trends & more delivered right to your inbox twice a week The Common Condition Linked to Alzheimer’s in New Study In a new Cleveland Clinic study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, researchers found links between human herpes viruses and Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Dr. Feixiong Cheng, Ph.D., director of Cleveland Clinic’s Genome Center, told Cleveland Clinic, “Our analysis provides associations linking molecular, clinical and neuropathological features of Alzheimer’s with human herpesvirus infection, which warrants future clinical validation.” Related: The Surprising Symptom That May Be an Early Sign of Dementia, According to New Study What Are Human Herpes Viruses (HHVs)? As of now, 66.6% (yikes) of people have some form of human herpes virus (HHV), and many have more than one type. In fact, Cleveland Clinic estimates that by adulthood, nearly every human being will have contracted at least three types. Some HHVs come in the form of relatively mild illnesses like chicken pox, while other forms include shingles, Epstein-Barr, herpes simplex viruses (HSV) 1 and 2 (which can manifest as oral cold sores or ******** herpes) or roseola (usually in infants and young children). Some HHVs are asymptomatic. Related: Eating This Daily May Reduce Dementia Risk, According to Doctors How Are HHVs Linked to Alzheimer’s and Dementia? Most HHVs, when suppressed by our immune systems and considered “latent,” are relatively harmless. However, the Cleveland Clinic study found that in aging patients, the body’s ability to suppress HHVs may be reduced. If and when these viruses become activated, that’s when problems may arise. HSV-1, specifically, may activate “jumping genes,” or transposable parts of the human genome. When this happens, these “jumping genes” can cause disruptions in the brain, which may in turn impact accumulation of tau protein, which is linked with inflammation in the brain and neurodegeneration, potentially contributing to Alzheimer’s. Related: New Study Reveals Surprising Factor That May Increase Dementia Risk How Can You Protect Yourself From HHVs, Alzheimer’s and Dementia? By now, you probably know that a brain-healthy and anti-inflammatory diet and regular exercise are good ways to protect yourself against dementia and Alzheimer’s (or to at least slow their progress). While the HHV link may make you feel almost hopeless, there’s good news: The study found that anti-virals may actually remedy the link between herpes viruses and dementia by forcing the HHVs to go back to being latent. “These results further suggest potential relationships between HSV-1 infection and Alzheimer’s disease and provide two potential drug candidates that may provide treatment for a disease that currently has no cure,” Dr. Cheng explained. “We hope our findings, if broadly applied, can also provide new strategies for treating other neurological diseases associated with herpesviruses or other viruses.” Up Next: Related: The Crucial Brain-Boosting Tips Maria Shriver Lives By—And Why She’s Hopeful About Alzheimer’s Research Sources Source link #Common #Condition #Lead #Alzheimersand #People Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

3 in 10 Americans May Be Increasing Dementia Risk With This Daily Habit 3 in 10 Americans May Be Increasing Dementia Risk With This Daily Habit Dementia is a debilitating and heartbreaking condition, both for those who have it and for those who love and care for dementia patients. While there are genetic factors for cognitive illnesses and conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, there are ways to at least hedge your bets to prevent it or stave it off. As scary as that is, some people are actually increasing their risk of dementia, as well as a host of other medical problems, with a daily (and destructive) habit. SIGN UP for tips to stay healthy & fit with the top moves, clean eats, health trends & more delivered right to your inbox twice a week Nearly 30% of Americans May Be Increasing Their Dementia Risk With This Daily Habit Three in 10 American adults vape, and that’s bad news bears for their brain health. According to new research from Manchester Metropolitan University, vaping may be directly linked to dementia, heart disease and organ failure. Researchers examined participants between the ages of 18 and 45 with similar fitness levels to see how vaping impacted their health. Participants who vaped appeared to have damage to their arterial walls in the heart, The Mirror reported, leaving their arteries unable to dilate and possibly being a sign of cardiovascular problems later. Blood vessels were also found to have been irritated in vaping participants, which the study’s lead author, Dr. Maxime Boidin, Ph.D., attributed to vape ingredients nicotine, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. “When you put this mixture of metals and chemicals into your body you can’t expect nothing to happen,” he said. Related: Low Levels of This Vitamin Linked With Higher Risk of Dementia, According to New Study Can Vaping Cause Dementia? More research needs to be done, but several other previous studies have linked vaping to poor brain health. A February 2020 study showed that mice exposed to both ********** smoke and electronic ********** smoke had “reduced cognitive spatial learning abilities and memory functions,” possibly because of inflammation and oxidative stress on the brain. Another study released in 2021 showed that vaping impaired short-term memory and triggered inflammation, while yet a third study, conducted in 2024, observed a link between vaping and cognitive deficits in young adults. Related: Breathing This Way Could Be an Early Sign of Alzheimer’s Is Vaping Safer Than Smoking? For a while, it was commonly believed that vaping may be a safer alternative to smoking, but as research continues, experts believe that to be false: Vaping is really bad for you. “What we have found is the dangers for someone who keeps vaping are no different from smokers. At the beginning [of the study] I also believed that vaping was more beneficial than smoking,” Dr. Boidin admitted to The Mirror. “You see a lot more people vaping these days because they don’t think it’s too bad. Many will be horrified to know the truth.” Part of what makes vaping particularly dangerous and addictive, Dr. Boidin says, is the convenience of it. “Smokers tend to go outside and smoke, and once a ********** is finished they have to light up another to keep going. But with vapes, you just keep going, and it’s much harder to know how many puffs you’ve had,” he explained. “It’s much easier to vape continuously because you can do it in places where smoking might be less acceptable.” Up Next: Related: Why Flavored Vape Juice Is So Bad For You—No Matter How Good It Tastes Sources Source link #Americans #Increasing #Dementia #Risk #Daily #Habit Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

South Korean Court Orders Impeached President’s Release From Jail South Korean Court Orders Impeached President’s Release From Jail A South Korean court on Friday ordered the release from jail of Yoon Suk Yeol, the country’s impeached president, who is standing trial on insurrection charges over his decision to impose martial law in December. The Seoul Central District Court ruled that prosecutors had violated procedural rules by holding Mr. Yoon in detention longer than legally allowed before indicting him last month. But Mr. Yoon was not immediately freed from the detention center south of Seoul where he is being held, said one of his lawyers, Seok *****-hyun. Prosecutors have a week to appeal the ruling, during which time Mr. Yoon will remain in custody, Mr. Seok said. Mr. Yoon was detained on Jan. 15 and formally indicted 11 days later on the insurrection charges, which stem from his short-lived imposition of martial law in December. His lawyers have fought since then to get him freed from jail, making the argument that a three-judge panel accepted on Friday: that prosecutors had held Mr. Yoon longer than the law permitted. The ruling was limited to a narrow dispute over whether prosecutors had followed all procedures correctly when they arrested and indicted Mr. Yoon. It did not address the charges that Mr. Yoon faces at his criminal trial. Mr. Yoon unexpectedly declared martial law on Dec. 3, accusing the opposition-controlled National Assembly of “paralyzing” his government. The assembly voted against his martial law decree, forcing him to rescind it after about six hours. But it has set off South Korea’s worst political crisis in decades. As protesters called for Mr. Yoon’s ouster, the Assembly impeached him on Dec. 14, suspending him from office. The country’s Constitutional Court is deliberating whether the impeachment was legitimate and if he should be formally removed from office. Separately, criminal investigators detained Mr. Yoon on the insurrection charges. He is the first president in South Korean history to face criminal charges while still in office.

ASX Runners of the Week: Industrial, Litchfield, InFocus & TG Metals ASX Runners of the Week: Industrial, Litchfield, InFocus & TG Metals I see red, I see red, I see red… The ASX has this month taken a tumble from the intoxicating all-time highs of Valentine’s Day. In three weeks, the index shed more than 6 per cent of its value, with all sectors except telecommunications and the unstoppable goldies losing ground this week. Energy stocks fared the worst as oil prices fell on threats of “The Don’s” tariffs and OPEC to increase oil production. Mineral Resources’ troubles continued and company founder Chris Ellison lost his billionaire status after MinRes shed nearly 40% off its share price this month. A weakening iron ore price held most of our major miners down – except gold – with uncertainty around China’s bleak construction sector scaring traders. Though a spark of hope crossed traders’ screens on Thursday morning when BHP shares shot out of the blocks at the open to rise 6 per cent on a seemingly flat day for the other majors. BHP’s share price surged from $39.50 to $42 a share at the open, before it became apparent its share price appreciation was not driven by its performance or market speculation. Instead, one trader, who had perhaps forgotten their morning coffee, ordered 750,000 BHP shares at $42 a share pre-market, rather than the intended 750 units. A costly $31.5m ‘**** finger’ mistake which saw BHP’s share price soar and then pull back some $2.60 per share in under two minutes, hypothetically costing the company millions. As you can expect in this increasingly stale market, candidates for Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runners of the Week list were relatively few and far between, however, a few diamonds in the rough sparkled in an otherwise uneventful week. Industrial Minerals Ltd (ASX: IND) 92% up (from 12c to 23c) Industrial Minerals is this week’s Bulls N’ Bears ASX Runner of the Week. On a quiet week with not much happening, the quartz crusader leapt out of the blocks with no news to its name – and still bagged a premier podium finish. The company’s stock began its run on Tuesday, marching from 12 cents per share to 16c before it was handed a “speeding ticket” by the ASX. Industrial’s management said they were unaware of any unknown information, however, noted global tariff and trade developments were juicing demand for its high purity quartz. The free marketing did the trick as the company’s share price surged up the following morning to a high of 23c, up 92 per cent from its close of 12c the week prior. Industrial is busy working on several projects and has released plenty of tasty tidbits in its recent quarterly activities report, including encouraging feedback from parties interested in its Pippingarra pegmatite project in Western Australia, a China marketing blitz and progress on a maiden mineral resource estimate at Pippingarra due by the end of March. The company also touted its ongoing test work in China and a freshly funded war chest from a placement and share purchase plan, which it says has enabled meaningful progress towards development and achieving its aim of becoming a key supplier to the high purity quartz materials sector. With United States’ president Donald Trump’s tariff sabre-rattling in the background, high-purity quartz looks likely to become another critical mineral darling to join a trend of raging antimony and gallium prices. Litchfield Minerals Ltd (ASX: LMS) 90% up (from 9.5c to 18c) Litchfield Minerals took out second place on this week’s Runner of the Week list. The base metals company released some juicy news to the market on Wednesday that it had uncovered two big, high-intensity sulphide-bearing targets over 1 kilometre at its cornerstone Oonagalabi project in the mineral-rich heart of the Northern Territory. Litchfield said a recently conducted pole-dipole IP survey had uncovered two massive chargeability anomalies stretching 1km in strike and plunging to more than 500m in depth. The company’s shares ran on the news on Wednesday and its share price peaked at 18c per share on Thursday, up some 90 per cent from last week’s close, after well over $1m of stock traded hands. Litchfield says each target possesses a higher-grade core, with chargeability exceeding 40 to 60 millivolts per volt. The promising base metals targets were not drill-tested, offering highly compelling targets for Litchfield’s upcoming drilling program. Historical drill holes at Oonagalabi have glanced the chargeability shell and returned the best mineralisation numbers to date, reinforcing the strong correlation between chargeability and sulphide mineralisation. The company has locked in a phase one drilling program for late March, pending a final Territory government nod. Oonagalabi’s 3km mineralised strike in the Territory’s mineral-rich heartland has the hallmarks of a big base metal system tied to some hydrothermal action. No wonder the market was frothing – this untested high-grade core could be a game-changer for the sub-$5m market cap minnow, as copper demand remains solid despite most metals pulling back. InFocus Group (ASX: IFG) 73% up (from 1.5c to 2.6c) Ditching the pickaxe for the pixels, Runners’ final podium finish goes to fintech group InFocus, which saw its share price shoot up on news of its latest stablecoin payment project with the Seychelles-based group, GBO Assets. InFocus says it has sealed a US$1.52 million (A$2.41m) deal with GBO to build a cross-border stablecoin payment platform, bumping its total GBO contract haul to more than US$4m (A$6.35m), hot on the heels of a US$2.5m (A$4m) gaming gig. InFocus jumped to 2.6c per share on Tuesday’s company announcement, up 73 per cent from its close of 1.5c last Friday after $2m of the stock was traded. GBO Assets, based out of the tech and tax-savvy Seychelles islands, has worked with some of the world’s largest gaming organisations that run physical casinos and online platforms. InFocus will design and develop a full-featured cross-border cryptocurrency payment system with AI-powered liquidity pools, real-time analytics, and exchange rate wizardry, which is set for delivery in the next two years. InFocus’ chief executive officer Ken Tovich believes the deal proves the company has supercharged its tech-chops with a newly enlarged team following its Prodigy9 acquisition earlier this year. InFocus’ market cap is still well below the net worth of its deals with GBO and just yesterday secured a further $250,000 of funding to service its contracts. It could well be a high-growth tech provider on the up. Camera IconTG Metals’ latest Van Husen gold project near Marvel Loch, outside Southern Cross in Western Australia. Credit: BULLS N’ BEARS/File TG Metals Ltd (ASX: TG6) 71% up (from 10.5c to 18c) It wouldn’t feel right to have a Bulls N’ Bears Runners of the Week list without a regimented goldie given the price was at all-time highs again this week. TG Metals rode the yellow metal’s $4650 per ounce wave that made Cyclone Alfred’s swell look positively puny. The company’s share price flew up on Thursday after it announced the acquisition of an 80 per cent interest in the Van Uden gold project in WA. “The Goat” blasted to a peak of 18c per share from a close last week of 10.5c, which was a 71 per cent rise on $110,000 in shares traded for the day. The Van Uden treasure chest consists of four promising mining leases and an existing resource of 5.3 million tonnes grading 1.38 grams per tonne gold for 238,000 ounces of gold. The company says the project was previously explored by Convergent Minerals and the Wesfarmers-acquired Kidman Resources to define shallow gold mineralisation at its Gold City deposit. Very little progress was made on the project under Kidman’s ownership, as the company’s focus shifted to the massive Mt Holland lithium deposit, which inevitably made it a takeover target. TG6 managed to snap up the Van Uden project for just $2.5m cash and $1m in shares – plus a deferred $0.5m kicker. The existing mining leases’ existing stockpiles and shallow gold make for an attractive toll treating option to generate some serious cash in the current gold environment. Sitting pretty near Marvel Loch and TG6’s Lake Johnston lithium digs, the “near-term cash flow” gem still has plenty of exploration upside that could be soon self-funded, the company says. In a market this red-hot, gold’s glitter was TG6’s gain. Is your ASX-listed company doing something interesting?

Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake — 3 simple steps to fix it Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake — 3 simple steps to fix it Dave Ramsey warns nearly 50% of Americans are making 1 big Social Security mistake — here’s what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP With over 30 years of fielding listener calls and cultivating a devoted audience, Dave Ramsey has become one of the rare experts truly in tune with the nation’s financial heartbeat. His company’s surveys and reports deliver unique insights into how Americans earn, save, and spend their money. The 2023 “Today’s Retirement Crisis” study based on a 2016 survey highlights a surprising statistic — 42% of Americans are not currently saving for the future. This is also reflected in the Fed’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances which shows that only 54.4% of families had retirement accounts. “… even among savers, few are setting aside enough to afford a truly secure retirement. In fact, only one in 10 Americans save 15% or more of their income — the amount industry experts recommend individuals set aside in order to build adequate savings — for retirement,” said the Ramsey Solutions study. This “alarming” information could indicate that many people are facing a dire retirement. “Instead of packing their bags for their dream vacations in their 60s and 70s, millions of Americans will be packing their lunch for another day at the office,” says the Ramsey team. We can assume at some point many plan to rely on Social Security benefits alone. Typically, these benefits replace just 40% of pre-retirement income. Still nearly 60% of retired Americans say Social Security is a “major source” of their retirement income, according to Gallup. The estimated average monthly Social Security retirement benefit for Jan. 2025 was $1,976, which translates to an annual income of $23,712, much less than what a comfortable retirement would usually require. The good news is that this fate is avoidable. Here are the three steps you can take to start stitching together a safety net for your senior years. The first step for anyone looking to retire with a comfortable fund is to set a benchmark for minimum monthly savings. A portion of every paycheck must be set aside to secure your future. As of January 2025, the U.S. personal savings rate was just 4.6%, according to the Federal Reserve. This is the ratio of personal saving to disposable personal income (DPI), and it is simply too low to fund a robust retirement. Ramsey recommends setting the benchmark significantly higher, at 15% of gross income. This is assuming you already have an emergency fund and you’re out of debt. To highlight the difference, a person earning $100,000 a year who manages to save 15% of their income and invests it in an asset that delivers 10% returns annually could accumulate roughly $1.5 million within 25 years. This means they can retire as a millionaire even if they start saving and investing in their early-50s. Story Continues Reducing your tax liability could be just as important as maxing out your savings rate. Every penny saved in taxes is another penny that can be used to invest and compound your wealth over time. For most people, the best way to mitigate taxes is to utilize the tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k) and Roth IRA available to them. Unfortunately, most Americans neglect these accounts. In 2023, the average defined contribution plan balance was just $134,128 while the median balance was just $35,286, according to Vanguard. Even those ages 65 and over had an average balance of just $272,588 and a median balance of $88,488. None of these balances are close enough to fund a proper retirement. By raising your contributions and maxing out these accounts diligently, you can get ahead of your peers relatively quickly. Saving 15% of your gross income and maximizing your tax-advantaged accounts are the bare minimum necessities for a comfortable retirement, according to Ramsey. However, if you’re looking to retire sooner, desire a better lifestyle in retirement or simply waited too long to get started you may need to go beyond this minimum threshold. Consider adding sources of passive income, such as rental property, to augment your annual earnings. Invest in taxable accounts to maximize your growth beyond the 401(k) and Roth IRA. Negotiate or look for a career change to boost your salary. Regardless of your current financial situation, there’s usually a few ways to make improvements and boost your chances of a successful retirement.

Xiaomi 16 Pro to Feature 3D-Printed Metal Mid-Frame for Lower Weight, Better Thermal Performance, Analyst Says Xiaomi 16 Pro to Feature 3D-Printed Metal Mid-Frame for Lower Weight, Better Thermal Performance, Analyst Says The Xiaomi 15 series of smartphones was launched earlier this week in global markets, and the ******** company’s flagship smartphone lineup is scheduled to launch in India on March 11. While the successors to these handsets are not expected to arrive for several months, TF Securities International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has shared some details related to the purported Xiaomi 16 Pro. The handset could be equipped with a new component, that could result in a reduction in weight and an improvement in thermal performance. Why Phone Manufacturers Are Expected to Adopt 3D Printing According to details shared by the analyst in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Xiaomi will introduce its next generation of high-end smartphones towards the end of 2025. Kuo’s latest survey reveals that the Xiaomi 16 Pro, which is expected to arrive as the successor to the latest Xiaomi 15 Pro model, will be equipped with a metal mid-frame that is created using 3D printing technology. Xiaomi has tapped ******** supplier Bright Laser Technologies (BLT) to produce the metal-mid frame for the rumoured Xiaomi 16 Pro, according to the analyst. However, unlike the one used on the current generation Xiaomi 15 Pro, the mid-frame will be reportedly be 3D printed using BLT’s technology. Despite challenges like production efficiency, there are clear advantages to using a 3D printed mid-frame for a smartphone, according to Kuo. The technology lets smartphone makers utilise hollow designs that do not reduce the durability of the frame. In addition, these 3D printed mid-frames help to improve thermal performance. Kuo also points out that more smartphone makers could adopt 3D printing once production efficiency improves. He expects this shift to take place even though existing production technologies might still offer better efficiency, as the benefits of 3D printing will eventually outweigh the costs. The successor to the Xiaomi 15 Pro is expected to be unveiled in China in Q4 2025, if the company’s previous release schedule is any indication. The current generation model is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a 2K 120Hz OLED display, three 50-megapixel rear cameras, and a 6,100mAh battery which can be charged using a 90W power adapter.

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what’s in the article.

And I think the president liked that very much. And he looked great.” Source link #Fox #News #Doocy #questions #White #House #apparent #double #standard #Musk #Zelenskyy Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

ICE raids St. Louis Park business, arrests 8, immigration advocates say ICE raids St. Louis Park business, arrests 8, immigration advocates say The Brief ICE raided Hardcoat Inc. in St. Louis Park on Feb. 26, immigration advocates said. Agents arrested eight employees but released one, they said. The company audited employees to verify their eligibility to work in the United States weeks before the raid, advocates said. ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (FOX 9) – ICE agents raided an aluminum finishing company in St. Louis Park on Feb. 26, arresting eight employees, immigration advocates said. ICE reportedly arrested 8 at St. Louis Park business The backstory ICE agents stormed into an aluminum finishing company in St. Louis Park on Feb. 26, arresting eight employees, immigration advocates said. The agents eventually released one of them, though it’s unclear why, they said. What they’re saying “ICE went not all at once in grabbing everybody there but went one at a time and grabbed one person at a time,” said Ryan Perez, who organized a protest Wednesday where he read a prepared statement from an eyewitness to the raid. “She reported that eight people were actually arrested even though seven people were detained.” Raid came weeks after company audited employees, immigration advocates say What happened before the raid Less than three weeks before the raid, Hardcoat Inc. audited employees’ eligibility to work in the United States, according to a letter obtained by COPAL MN, an immigration advocacy group. The letter, which was reviewed by FOX 9, said that “in an effort to stay in compliance with the U.S. citizenship and immigration requirements, Hardcoat Inc. will be conducting an I-9 audit.” An I-9 form verifies an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States. The letter also said that “every employee will be asked to produce the appropriate documents in the next few days.” It is unclear whether the raid is connected to what the letter described as an “internal audit.” Hardcoat Inc. did not respond to a request for comment.
