Smoking marijuana found to have the same weakening effect on the blood vessels as cigarettes

Cannabis’s health benefits have helped it gain approval for medicinal use in several states, but it’s important to keep in mind that this does not mean that it’s perfectly healthy when smoked. In fact, if you’re smoking it, you might want to hear what researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, recently discovered. (Opt for a liquid form of hemp extracts to avoid the risks associated with smoking it.)

Researchers begin pilot testing of “LiFi” light bulbs that offer broadband data through light

The Internet of Things or IoT is a type of emerging technology that is meant to become a standard inside the home as well as in the office. It’s the key to turning ordinary household and office appliances into “smart” ones – that is, connecting them to the internet – and in many ways, is seen as a key part of the future of mobile computing. Now Philips Lighting wants to speed up its adoption by promoting LiFi, wireless broadband data that propagates through light instead of radio signals, which it has added to its latest series of luminaires.

Minerals from deep in the ocean found to enhance muscle output, may be next big sports supplement

Minerals found in the deep ocean may be used to improve muscle output, potentially becoming a big sports supplement, according to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Physiology. The study, led by researchers at the University of Taipei, aimed to identify the effects of deep ocean minerals (DOM) supplementation on the cerebral blood flow response of young and middle-aged men during exercise.K

Autonomous Drones Will Soon Decide Who To Kill

The United States Army wants to develop a system that can be quickly integrated and deployed into its weaponized drone fleet to automatically Detect, Recognize, Classify, Identify (DRCI) and target enemy combatants and vehicles using artificial intelligence (AI). This is an impressive leap forward, whereas humans still operate current military drones, this technology could foster a new era of autonomous drones conducting operations in hybrid wars — without human oversight.

Many cases of “dementia” are actually side effects of prescription drugs or vaccines, according to research

The “quick facts” provided by the Alzheimer’s Association are pretty concerning: More than five million people in America are living with Alzheimer’s, and that number is projected to reach 16 million by the year 2050. As the sixth leading cause of death in our nation, it kills more Americans than prostate cancer and breast cancer combined. Someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s every 66 seconds; will you be one of them?

Pesticides Are Making Children Aggressive

Pesticides cause a multitude of adverse effects on humans. However, they are especially harmful to children. They may have something to do with the mass-shootings in schools all over America because some of them are neurotoxins. This means they affect and damage the central nervous system and the brain – of all animals, including humans.

Using natural fertilizers increases fruit yield and size

Do you want your farm or garden-grown fruits to become yummier and juicier? Use organic fertilizer, not chemical-based ones. A field experiment in a south farm in Vanavarayar Institute of Agriculture, Manakkadavu, Pollachi, Tamil Nadu in India showed that using acid lime as fertilizer resulted in the highest harvest of fruits per tree. Panchakavya, an organic product that can promote growth and provide immunity to plants as fertilizer, made fruits heavier and longer. It also raised the plants’ juice and ascorbic acid content.

Smart Speakers And Their Potential Privacy Concerns

Some of the biggest companies in the U.S. have been selling smart speakers, which means they are artificially intelligent and can listen to people’s conversations. The extent to how much unwanted monitoring, or more aptly recording, is being conducted depends on the degree of privacy people are willing to give up — something that can be said for a lot of technology.
