Reputation Advocate Reports Google's Implementation of Enhanced Search Features
2013-01-25
Reputation Advocate, a company that specializes in online reputation management for its clients, has been closely watching the changes, set to alter the family-friendliness of web searches. In recent years, consumers have grown frustrated at Google's "Safe Search" feature, which tended to let explicit search results through. This was especially problematic with image searches, where users enter a search term with the Safe Search filter on, only to find pornographic images displayed on the resulting page of images.
Instead of Google defaulting to a mode that ...

Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Book Review - The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay
2013-01-25
The Power of One was the debut - and best-known - novel of this prolific author who died just a few months ago. Bryce Courtenay was born in South Africa and the novel is 'semi-autobiographical' - it is left to the reader to decide just which parts are true and how much is a product of the writer's imagination. Certainly there are many similarities between the childhood of the author and that of the novel's protagonist, the self-styled Peekay.
Peekay is an exceptional child of English descent who encounters horrific bullying when sent to a boarding school at the tender ...

Magma in Earth's mantle forms deeper than once thought
2013-01-24
Magma forms far deeper than geologists previously thought, according to new research results.
A team led by geologist Rajdeep Dasgupta of Rice University put very small samples of peridotite, rock derived from Earth's mantle, under high pressures in a laboratory.
The scientists found that the rock can and does liquify, at least in small amounts, at pressures equivalent to those found as deep as 250 kilometers down in the mantle beneath the ocean floor.
Dasgupta said that this answers several questions about Earth's inner workings.
He is the lead author of a paper ...
Immigrants: Highly educated, underpaid
2013-01-24
This press release is available in French.
Montreal, January 22, 2013 – The cab driver who was an engineer in his home country, the gas station attendant who used to teach physics, the cashier who trained as a pediatrician. Time and again, new immigrants find themselves in jobs for which their level of education outstrips the requirements, meaning a major loss for the economy.
In a paper recently published in the peer-reviewed open-access journal ISRN Economics, Mesbah Sharaf, an assistant professor in Concordia's Department of Economics, found that two-thirds of recent ...
Pavlov's rats? Rodents trained to link rewards to visual cues
2013-01-24
In experiments on rats outfitted with tiny goggles, scientists say they have learned that the brain's initial vision processing center not only relays visual stimuli, but also can "learn" time intervals and create specifically timed expectations of future rewards. The research, by a team at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, sheds new light on learning and memory-making, the investigators say, and could help explain why people with Alzheimer's disease have trouble remembering recent events.
Results of the study, ...
Smokers who quit before age 40 have lifespan almost as long as people who never smoked
2013-01-24
TORONTO, Jan. 23, 2013—Smokers who quit when they are young adults can live almost as long as people who never smoked, groundbreaking new research has found.
Smoking cuts at least 10 years off a person's lifespan. But a comprehensive analysis of health and death records in the United States found that people who quit smoking before they turn 40 regain almost all of those lost years.
"Quitting smoking before age 40, and preferably well before 40, gives back almost all of the decade of lost life from continued smoking," said Dr. Prabhat Jha, head of the Centre for Global ...
Estrogen fights urinary infection in mouse study
2013-01-24
Estrogen levels drop dramatically in menopause, a time when the risk of urinary tract infections increases significantly.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found new evidence in mice that the two phenomena are connected by more than just timing. If further research confirms these links, boosting estrogen levels may get a second look as an approach for reducing urinary infections in menopausal women.
"Scientists tested estrogen as a treatment for post-menopausal women with urinary tract infections in the 1990s, but the results ...
