Hate incidents against Asians are happening in San Antonio, but victims are not reporting them, expert says

San Antonio – Romelette Metz, a business owner in San Antonio, says she like many others were victims of hate incidents last year. A recent study by the organization looked at hate incidents from 2020 and showed nearly a 150% increase in hate crimes against Asians in 16 major cities. Around 2010, he said hate crimes were increasing against Latinos with a lot of concerns about undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border. He said words matter and the rhetoric that people hear is often correlated with hate crimes going up. Levis urges victims to report hate crimes to law enforcement and hate incidents to advocacy groups like Stop AAPI Hate.

Why experts say drinking coffee from paper cups can lead to serious health conditions

But according to a new study on studyfinds.org, researchers say drinking coffee or other hot beverages from paper cups is dangerous to our bodies. Experts say in the 15 minutes it takes for coffee or tea to be consumed, the microplastic layer in a paper cup degrades. Researchers further experimented with several paper cups using different high temperatures. Researchers say disposable paper cups do not decompose in a landfill and cannot be recycled. Instead of using paper cups to enjoy your drinks, experts suggest using insulated or traditional coffee mugs.

Spending meaningful time sitting down could actually benefit seniors' cognitive function, study says

We’re used to hearing that sitting for long periods of time can negatively affect your health, but a new study published in Consumer Affairs explored how spending meaningful time sitting down could actually benefit seniors' cognitive function. The study says while physical activity is important for older peoples' overall wellness, taking time to sit down isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Researchers said skills in general knowledge and vocabulary were higher for people who spent more time sitting, whereas problem solving and reasoning skills were higher for those who exercised regularly. The study suggests keeping the mind active, even while sitting, can lead to strong cognitive abilities. While researchers aren’t encouraging people to spend more time on the couch, they do suggest keeping your brain active while sitting down.

Aliens watching us? Scientists spot 1,000 nearby stars where E.T. could detect life on Earth

As humanity ramps up its search for alien life , we should keep in mind that E.T. A new study makes that point by identifying more than 1,000 nearby stars that are favorably positioned for spotting life on Earth. "And we can even see some of the brightest of these stars in our night sky without binoculars or telescopes," Kaltenegger said. Soon, researchers will also be able to scan the atmospheres of some nearby transiting planets for potential signs of life. This search turned up 1,004 qualifying main-sequence stars — stars that, like our sun, fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores.

'Superflares' may make it hard for life to begin around dwarf stars

Powerful stellar eruptions could pose a serious challenge to the origin and evolution of life around the universe , a new study suggests. Such outbursts throw off large amounts of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is not only directly harmful to life as we know it but can also strip away the atmospheres of relatively close-orbiting planets. These issues are especially pronounced for worlds circling red dwarfs , small and dim stars that make up about 75% of the Milky Way galaxy's stellar population. For starters, red dwarfs are more active than sunlike stars, especially when they're young. Researchers calculated the likely UV emissions generated by red-dwarf superflares, as well as the radiation loads absorbed by rocky planets that might reside in the small stars' habitable zones.

Study: San Antonio one of the top U.S. cities where adults live with their parents

SAN ANTONIO If youre an adult and you still live with your parents, youre not alone. San Antonio was named third among the top U.S. cities with adults living with their parents, whether its due to the economic downturn, high rent costs or a number of other factors. A total of 24.7% of non-students, between the ages of 25 and 40, are living with their parents in San Antonio, according to the study. The study also revealed that adult men were more likely to live with their parents than adult women, particularly in New Orleans and San Antonio. To clarify, the study did not differentiate whether these adults lived in their parents household or whether the parents lived with them -- just that they were in the same home.
