How Our Biological Clock Influences Cluster Headaches and Migraines

A meta-analysis published in Neurology reveals strong links between cluster headaches, migraines, and the circadian system, which regulates internal body processes. The study emphasizes the role of the hypothalamus and genetics in these headache disorders. Cluster headaches displayed a circadian pattern in 71% of people, peaking in late night and early morning, and were associated with two main circadian genes. Migraine attacks followed a circadian pattern in 50% of people, peaking from late morning to early evening, and…

The Last Film in Bruce Willis’ Final Franchise Battles the Clock on Streaming

via Lionsgate It used to be easy to mock Bruce Willis and his descent into the VOD doldrums where he’d show up in half a dozen bargain basement action thrillers per year until the truth came out. Diagnosed with aphasia – and then ultimately dementia – the Die Hard icon was simply trying to work as much as possible before he couldn’t live his dream of being an actor anymore. That paints the entire last decade and change of his filmography in an entirely different light, but sympathy isn’t the reason why the…

Clock ticks for buffs to binge nominated films

By Bobby Caina Calvan | Associated Press NEW YORK — A film buff from Oklahoma City, Elyssa Mann has scant time to waste, needing to cross just four more movies off her Oscars list before Sunday’s Academy Awards broadcast: Two animated films, one for cinematography and another for costume design. In the San Francisco Bay Area, Steve Tornello has just one left — the latest “Avatar” — before he can fairly judge all 10 of the best picture nominees. In the perfect multiverse, time would bend to allow movie fans to watch…

Analysis-Foxconn races to become an EV player and the clock is ticking

Foxconn wants to do for electric vehicles (EVs) what it has done with the iPhone, but first, it needs to find the next Apple – and fast. The Taiwanese contract manufacturer faces competition in the market for creating white-label EVs that can be tailor-made for clients, whether that's a major automaker or a delivery provider or any other company. And while the electronics giant brings established strengths to the mostly loss-making EV industry, Foxconn needs to win a big contract to prove it can ride the wave of

Photo: NASAAs the race back to the Moon heats up—with plans for long-term human habitation—reliable communication is a fundamental issue. With dozens of plans for experiments of various sizes and scopes needing to communicate with each other and Earth, the European Space Agency has opened a call for help in building the required suite of telecommunication services. Called “Moonlight,” the systemwill include a standardized Moon clock.Today,

40 Years Later, the Original Casio G-Shock Watch Is Back

One UI 5.1 feature focus: Multiple timers in Clock app

One of the many quality-of-life improvements Samsung added to One UI with the 5.1 update is an upgraded timer for the Clock app. Of course, timers need little or no introduction, but One UI 5.1 elevated this feature to a new level. One UI 5.1 users can now set multiple timers that run simultaneously. And this feature actually makes a whole lot of sense when you realize that people multitask and may need more than one timer at a time. It makes one wonder why this feature wasn’t available until now, but thankfully, it is a…

Reversing the Clock – How Exercise Can Mimic the Effects of Youthful Cells

Exercise has the ability to imitate the molecular profile of muscles that have been subjected to Yamanaka factors, resulting in a molecular expression similar to that of younger cells.Evidence suggests that exercise creates a molecular profile in muscle that is consistent with the expression of youthful-promoting Yamanaka factors.A recent study published in the Journal of Physiology has further supported the idea that exercise can help maintain youthful qualities in aging organisms. This research builds upon earlier…
