Long commutes are fatal: Journeys over 30 miles cause higher blood pressure, stress and heart disease

The stress of commuting can lead to workers dying earlier than their more relaxed colleagues

Commuters take more sick leave and gain more weight over their working lives

People complaining of a killer commute may be closer to the truth than they realise.

Research has found that workers with long commutes of over 30 miles die younger than those who live closer to their work. 

Social geographer Erika Sandow from Sweden’s Umeå University presented her [...]

Jim Rogers: This could be the best investment opportunity in the world right now

From The Myanmar Times:

Investor Jim Rogers, Chairman of Rogers Holdings, Beeland Interests Inc, and co-founder of the Quantum Fund, is bullish on Myanmar’s growth, dubbing it, “probably the best investment opportunity in the world right now.”

Mr. Rogers, a fan of long-haul cross-continent journeys, first visited Myanmar in 2001 where he says he fell in love with the country and realized its tremendous untapped potential.

“I saw a disciplined, educated, ambitious workforce,” said [...]

With physics, you can get universes: There is no need for a God to cause the Big Bang, says scientist

You do not need God to fill in the blanks of the Big Bang, says an astrophysicist.

That isn’t to say there is no God, simply that the universe is explainable without the need for a divine being to bring something out of nothing, says Alex Flippenko, of the University of California.

The astrophysicist was taking part in a debate in California on Saturday, called ‘Did the Big Bang require a Divine [...]

REPORT: Obama still ‘Kenyan-born’ in 2003… Literary references show description in promotion of ‘Dreams’ book… Developing…

Screenshot of Dystel & Goderich’s author bios page from 2003, from Wayback Machine

While some quickly dismissed as an anomaly yesterday’s explosive revelation that Barack Obama’s former literary agency billed him as “born in Kenya” back in 1991 in connection with a book he never wrote, WND has discovered much later published references – some dated as recently as 2003 – used to promote his highly touted book “Dreams of My [...]

How did the mainstream media miss this?

Telegraph

Conservatives claim that Obama manipulated his Kenyan roots to gain attention

Whatever you think of Breitbart.com’s punishing vetting process, it has exposed just how little work the mainstream media did in investigating candidate Obama back in 2008. Not all of Team Breitbart’s revelations have been election-deciders, but they have often been stuff that a simple Google would have uncovered. If they revealed tomorrow that he’d had his own cross-dressing-themed sitcom on [...]

Obama’s Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: ‘Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii’

It is interesting that all that I blogged about Obama in late 2007 and all of 2008 that was at first ignored and then derided and discredited has all been validated as accurate and true in the ensuing years.

My Obama book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America, researched and written largely before the election, warned of his viciously anti-American circle of Jew-hating subversives (Khalid Al-Mansour, Rashid Khalidi, Frank Marshall [...]

OBAMA LIT AGENT SHOCKER: ‘BORN IN KENYA AND RAISED IN INDONESIA AND HAWAII’

Note from Senior Management:

Andrew Breitbart was never a “Birther,” and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of “Birtherism.” In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.

Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama’s ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for [...]

Lord Hanningfield on being found guilty of expenses fraud: ‘I’m devastated but I have no regrets. I did nothing wrong.’
