Founded in March 2010, Open Talk Magazine is now online for public viewing with minimal features, categories and articles. The plan is to gradually grow out the magazine being that it is planned to be quite large in size and cover unlimited topics and categories.
Open Talk Magazine brings readers something different than most magazines in that its aim is to not be bounded to a specific targeted market, but rather "wide open" to all topics that cover most aspects of human life.

Open Talk Magazine consists of in-depth and informative articles without the clutter and over-run of glossy photos. The magazine articles are written through the authors' wisdom, experiences, research, education, intellect--as well as common sense; for this allows for "connectedness" between the reader and the article with the purpose of helping, improving and changing his or her life for the better.
Open Talk Magazine covers a broad range of topic categories, and features unlimited topics of interest. Its main categories include: Love & Relationships, Fashion & Style, Glamour & Beauty, Exercise & Fitness, Life & Living, Health & Nutrition, Money Talk, Empowerment Zone, Travel & Adventure, It's Political, and Technology--with more planned to be launched in the coming months ahead.
With such a selfless mission being the driving force behind Open Talk Magazine, it's going to be quite interesting watching it grow and mature over time; for the magazine is staged to help and benefit millions of people worldwide.

OLCF, partners release eSiMon Dashboard simulation tool
2011-03-02
Computational scientists have a new weapon at their disposal.
On February 1, the Electronic Simulation Monitoring (eSiMon) Dashboard version 1.0 was released to the public, allowing scientists to monitor and analyze their simulations in real-time.
Developed by the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah, North Carolina State University, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), this "window" into running simulations shows results almost as they occur, displaying data just a minute or two behind the simulations themselves. Ultimately, the ...
Who's the best tennis player of all time?
2011-03-02
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Fans may think of Jimmy Connors as an "old school" tennis player, but according to a new ranking system developed by a Northwestern University researcher, Connors is best player in the history of the game.
The rankings are published in PLoS ONE, a journal published by the Public Library of Science.
Male tennis players who played in at least one Association of Tennis Professionals match between 1968 and 2010 were evaluated through network analysis, said Filippo Radicchi, author of the study.
Ranking tennis players is a novel way to show how complex ...
Popular psychology theories on self-esteem not backed up by serious research
2011-03-02
Low self-esteem is associated with a greater risk of mental health problems such as eating disorders and depression. From a public health perspective, it is important for staff in various health-related professions to know about self-esteem. However, there is a vast difference between the research-based knowledge on self-esteem and the simplified popular psychology theories that are disseminated through books and motivational talks, reveals research from the University of Gothenburg.
Current popular psychology books distinguish between self-esteem and self-confidence. ...
Reviving 100-year-old resting spores of diatoms
2011-03-02
Diatoms account for a large proportion of the phytoplankton found in the water, and live both in the open sea and in freshwater lakes. By reviving 100-year-old spores that had laid buried and inactive in bottom sediment, researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have shown that diatoms are also genetically stable and survival artists.
Recent research has shown that diatoms exhibit great genetic differences and that they occur in discrete populations, which means that they multiply sexually to a greater extent than previously believed. What makes diatoms special ...
Health benefits of eating tomatoes emerge
2011-03-02
Los Angeles, CA (February 28, 2011) Eating more tomatoes and tomato products can make people healthier and decrease the risk of conditions such as cancer, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, according to a review article the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, (published by SAGE).
Of all the non-starchy vegetables, Americans eat more tomatoes and tomato products than any others. Researchers Britt Burton-Freeman, PhD, MS, and Kristin Reimers, PhD, RD of the National Center for Food Safety & Technology, Illinois Institute of Technology and ConAgra Foods, Inc., ...
Silver-diamond composite offers unique capabilities for cooling defense electronics
2011-03-02
Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are developing a solid composite material to help cool small, powerful microelectronics used in defense systems. The material, composed of silver and diamond, promises an exceptional degree of thermal conductivity compared to materials currently used for this application.
The research is focused on producing a silver-diamond thermal shim of unprecedented thinness – 250 microns or less. The ratio of silver to diamond in the material can be tailored to allow the shim to be bonded with low thermal-expansion stress ...
Obesity may increase risk of triple-negative breast cancer
2011-03-02
New findings published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, confirm the risk of breast cancer among women who are obese and not physically active, and suggests additional mechanisms beyond estrogen.
Scientists from the Women's Health Initiative have found a relationship between obesity, physical activity and triple-negative breast cancer, a subtype of breast cancer characterized by a lack of estrogen, progesterone and HER2 expression. Triple-negative breast cancers account for about 10 to 20 percent ...
Diabetics in the US, 6 other countries ineffectively treated for diabetes and related risk factors
2011-03-02
SEATTLE – Millions of people worldwide may be at risk of early death from diabetes and related cardiovascular illnesses because of poor diagnosis and ineffective treatment, a new study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington shows. The study examines diabetes diagnosis, treatment, and management in Colombia, England, Iran, Mexico, Scotland, Thailand, and the United States.
In the United States alone, nearly 90% of adult diabetics – more than 16 million adults aged 35 and older – have blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol ...

EDITOR'S PICK - DREADD-ing your next meal
In the face of the growing obesity epidemic, much research has focused on the neuronal control of feeding behavior. Agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons express three proteins that have been implicated in changes in energy balance, but the studies linking AgRP neurons to feeding behavior have produced mixed results.
To directly analyze the role of AgRP neurons, Bradford Lowell and colleagues, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, used DREADD technology (designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs) ...
Microscope could 'solve the cause of viruses'
2011-03-02
Writing in the journal Nature Communications, the team have created a microscope which shatters the record for the smallest object the eye can see, beating the diffraction limit of light.
Previously, the standard optical microscope can only see items around one micrometre – 0.001 millimetres – clearly.
But now, by combining an optical microscope with a transparent microsphere, dubbed the 'microsphere nanoscope', the Manchester researchers can see 20 times smaller – 50 nanometres ((5 x 10-8m) – under normal lights. This is beyond the theoretical limit of optical microscopy.
This ...
