Android TV sticks

Lately, I've been indulging my inner AV tech, among other things. The
latest generation of Android TV sticks makes this more interesting. If
you like network technology, you are bound to enjoy these small marvels.
It is bound to make an impression on your friends.

There are many plans for these devices, and they are regularly updated.
The Android TV stick technology is still young and evolving. If you want
a head start on a clever new technology, time is running out. Get
started soon. Fortunately, money is not much of an obstacle. If you have
fast wireless & good TV, you have what you need to get started for less
than $40. There are now many channels. Some people literally "cut the
cord", and use their TV for nothing but wireless access. Personally, I
like wires. You should see all my wires. I'll keep them.

There are FOSS projects for Android TV sticks, notably Kodi/XBMC, and
lots of new books for beginners. If you are into arcane TV&movie genres,
this is where the technology shines. There's likely a channel for you,
and even free access. There's still lots of room for technology adepts
to have some fun and impress their friends. OTOH, you don't have to be a
gear head. Major vendors are providing plug and play Android TV sticks
for the masses. But, if you like doing things like side-loading
non-vendor software and rooting Androids, you are going to have tons of
fun.

If you brick the stick, hey, You're only out $40. It's almost
irresistible. Most of the sticks coming out now are quad core, and they
they are getting much faster. If you want to use it as a computer, it is
there.

Seems to me that young people are avoiding pregnancy more. Maybe they don't want an abortion?

Johnston's Archive gets high marks for data and graphs. - statistics and other data http://bit.ly/1J1mGYz
Operation Rescue has a great data and graphs page. - Abortions In America http://bit.ly/1CI1GEO

Sadly, abortion rates may be falling only because people are having less children. The counter-argument is that the general public has a less favorable view of abortion than they have had in years. Second Amendment Foundation has an unparalleled data and graphs archive. We could really use something like that for the pro life community. With so many women having abortions, why don't we know more about outcomes. A human life is taken, and we have so much trouble studying the societal effect. We cannot be content with over 1 million abortions every year. It's time for a big change. If someone knows of other great pro life activism data that I haven't mentioned, please let me know.

Can biochemical synergy explain higher recuperative powers? - #aging #biking #carfree #cataracts #diet #exercise #fitness #flavonoid #food #health #lifespan #longevity #maculardegeneration #nutrition #polyphenol #running #sunscreen #sunscreen. #workout



All of this started several years ago with some 20 mile bike rides.
Don't be distressed to start small and work up to it. If you exercise
for hours in the sunshine, sunscreen is must. Don't forget it. It is
always sad to see these exceptional athletes with skin cancer. Use it.
I don't think that food interventions are sufficient against UV rays. No
doubt, some foods increase the risk of sunburn.

BTW, this looks like a good test for vision problems.
http://bit.ly/1MM4YHf There are some examples of what can go wrong with
the test here -> http://bit.ly/1BjAr31 There must be many other types
of vision tests people can do online. This is a great topic!

Here is the current state of my polyphenol and flavonoid diet recommendations.
http://bit.ly/1j83XJu The idea is to accelerate athletic progress by
improving recuperation times. More work is needed in this area. I'd be
delighted to hear any suggestions. Improved recuperation could explain
so much that is hard to understand about high athleticism. It is
necessary to heal faster, in order to do what many accomplished athletes
are doing. It is reasonable to think about higher recuperative powers,
because the effects of beneficial diet and exercise are additive. We may
soon discover synergy between longevity nutrition and high athleticism.
Synergy, not in the fluffy magical sense, but in the biochemical sense.
The real synergy. It is difficult for me to explain the gum line result
without resort to biochemical synergy. http://bit.ly/1CYipiF

Increase METs level for longevity - #fitness #running #exercise #health #workout #biking #nutrition #aging #longevity #fitfam #lifespan #gym #pollen #pets #asthma #allergy #allergies #survival #diet #run #healthyliving #fitnessfriday #fasting #carfree #angina #Intervals

I've been pointing out much data about METs lately. Intervals are likely
the best way to increase your METs level.

Here is a good Mayo Clinic article about it.
http://buff.ly/1yZ2MEU

MassGen:Decreased red blood cell clearance appears to predict
development and worsening of serious diseases http://bit.ly/1Dazgwy

Frontiers | Red blood cells in sports: Effects of exercise and
training on oxygen supply by red blood cells http://bit.ly/1Gf8JCX

Overall, athletes have a larger and younger population of RBCs. Based on
the MassGen article, this could be a disease avoidance strategy.
Mitochondrial and RBC counts do not improve significantly overnight.

I've presented some strategies for improving RBC and mitochondria
counts in this
article.
http://proclus.tumblr.com/post/103683212002/lets-bone-up-for-winter-fitness-running

It seems clear that a decrease in RBC turnover is related directly to
inactivity, so get moving.

Here is a related article for the ladies. - Iron status and
exercise http://bit.ly/1ID0C3o

The theory is cold adaptation and physical activity boosts mitochondrial
and RBC counts, leading to enhanced performance.

Here is another related article. Cold temperatures, strength,
and aerobic capacity http://bit.ly/1HDlfxf

High athleticism is a good strategy for turning over those old, broken
RBCs.

Treadmill Performance Predicts Mortality- Google Search
http://bit.ly/17XXVMY

We really did need a new formula. Yale nomogram is givning me zero CVD
risk. If you have no angina and you workout in the high athletic range,
then Yale nomogram predicts no CVD risk.

This table is very handy, and provides many correlations.
http://buff.ly/1Iwr1CZ

There are many ways to scale your workout to these tables. Pulse rate
and calories per hour are quite useful. There are many great web
calculators and graphs to help get at these numbers. If you are running
or biking up steep hills, use a stair calorie calculator. Another great
trick is to use the Google bike maps to obtain changes in altitude.

Why be satisfied with single digit risk, when you can reduce it to near
zero? The FIT treadmill test graphs are still behind a paywall, but the
Yale nomogram will be adequate in the interim.


http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nejm.org/na101/home/literatum/publisher/mms/journals/content/nejm/1991/nejm_1991.325.issue-12/nejm199109193251204/production/images/medium/nejm199109193251204_f1.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199109193251204&h=348&w=500&tbnid=Olx2QdYff73kvM:&zoom=1&docid=sqogIvpVnp73QM&itg=1&ei=75c6VemvKuqIsQSGgoHIDQ&tbm=isch&ved=0CC8QMygTMBM

If you have no angina, draw a line from "None" to your METs level to
obtain CVD risk. If you exceed the max, use a ruler to extrapolate to
your value. ;-)

One of the most fascinating thing about the FIT equation is the
possibility of predicting future longevity. Such extrapolations are
expected to be accurate within a range of about 20 years. When used as
a lower limit, the predictive power is much higher. Coming advances
favor longer lifespan. Research indicates higher METs levels correlate
with lower rates of death from ALL CAUSES.

Longevity nutrition is the key to pushing the lifespan envelope at this
time. The benefit of diverse approaches can add together. The benefit
longevity nutrition adds to the benefit of athletic training.

BTW, here is a good article about allergy and asthma prevention.

First step on allergies: Clean up the indoor atmosphere
http://bsun.md/1Hy2gWQ

Now is the right time for more spring cleaning, which is also healthy
work. Another way to beat allergies is to go out for a big workout.

Longevity and risk - #fitness #health #aging #lifespan #airtravel #longevity #germanwings #biking #wellness #running #nutrition #healtth #carfree

People who get immersed in the longevity pursuit inevitably must consider risk and death rates. Here is my contribution to that genre. I'm looking at death rates today. I was stunned to learn that bad nutrition causes about as many deaths as violence does. One of the most deadly things people can do is to get in their cars and drive down the street.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD)  kills more people than cancer, though the total is comparable for each. Wikipedia has some older statistics where the cardiovascular (CV) risk is much higher than cancer, http://t.co/u7tm1a3VU7 . Falls are another major cause of death. It is known that you can substantially reduce the risk of falling with balance and agility exercises. Some claim that the police kill many more people than the crooks. According to the CDC report, this is a dubious claim. Looks like Wikipedia table has problems wrt. infectious diseases; a major cause of death. Check CDC pdf. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr62/nvsr62_06.pdf . The 2010 CDC report has a particular interpretation. I'm sure someone has an explanation for this. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr61/nvsr61_04.pdf .  It is not always clear that newer data is better data. The wine gets better with age, as they say ;-). Wikipedia stops at 5% risk. If 95% of your cohort dies before you, you are sure to get A grade, but you will be just as dead. ;-)

It is distressing that after 40 years of explanations, people still don't know that you can reduce your CV risk to near zero, and that the risk of many other causes of death go down commensurately with CV risk. WHO has a chart that puts it all into stark perspective. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs310/en/ . A problem with risk assessments is that they fail to account for the consistent application of beneficial behaviors. We are lumped in with those doing unwise things year after year. For example, a good driver does not substantially increase his risk of causing an accident by driving more, just as non-smokers do not accrue risk of dying from a smoking-related illness by adding more non-smoking years. If you are making wise choices, you should not base your risk assessment on the unwise choices of other people. About 50% of people die of CVD, cancer, or related problems, but you can reduce this risk to near zero. Why wouldn't people want this?

The motor and air travel industries achieve their impressive statistics by reducing risk for large groups of people. If you are a bad pilot or driver, you have destroyed the advantage of those great statistics. OTOH, the industry has defined the risk very narrowly to get their great statistics. Industry statistics do not take into account the health consequences of air travel, such as radiation and bad layovers. Consider the contrast with bicycling, which enhances your health in countless ways. Air travel does the opposite of that. Similar arguments can be made for motor travel. My advice is to drive sparingly to maintain ability, avoid air travel altogether, and find more healthful ways to get around, like biking or running.

30 years of the longevity pursuit. - #biking #running #fitness #exercise #carfree #nutrition #lifespan #parsley #longevity #diet #fasting #aging

For years, I’ve considered parsley flavonoid to be my top find, but the additive effects of running could vastly overshadow that. It’s fortunate, when one thing builds upon another. Without a lifelong habit of biking, the running would have been more difficult. Biking and bicycle commuting are the foundation of the whole thing, something I learned on my LDS mission.
Michael L. Love: A personal statement
http://bit.ly/SfAep0
This Mormon upbringing gave me a familiarity with fasting and its benefits, which preceded much of the research. I also decided on the life sciences path on my mission.The reason was explicit. I was interested in longevity.
Hi I’m Michael L. Love | Mormon | 1X8C - http://Mormon.org
http://www.mormon.org/me/1x8c
It is necessary to have many beneficial things already in place to observe the additive benefit of running.
Most people who know me would likely agree that I’ve given my life to this work. Fortunately, it is a pleasant undertaking. Longevity, nutrition, fitness: Who doesn’t want these? After 30 years of this, it is great to see it all panning out so well. Some might consider it a selfish undertaking, but not so. I’ll eagerly continue to share all of the beneficial tips. Sharing longevity tips is likely a great way to leave a lasting impact.
