It said this would "not significantly alter" the spread of the virus, which is linked to serious birth defects. In an open letter to the WHO , more than 100 leading scientists had said new findings about Zika made it "unethical" for the Games to go ahead. They also said the global health body should revisit its Zika guidance. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has said it sees no reason to delay or move the Games because of the mosquito-borne disease. Read more  h...

BY   LISA DAFTARI   WEDNESDAY MAY 25, 2016 1:45PM A Facebook community called “Islamic Female Circumcision” was launched earlier this month with the stated goal of clarifying “misconceptions” around the Muslim faith’s practice of female genital mutilation or FGM. The page already has more than a dozen posts, including articles and infographics advocating for the practice of what they call "female circumcision," instead of referring to the practice as 'mutilation.'

Jamie Condliffe Today 7:05am   Filed to:   FACEBOOK There is no escaping Facebook’s advertising reach. The social network has announced that it will now be foisting ads on to every single person who uses third-party sites that are signed up to its advertising scheme, regardless of whether the user has a Facebook account or not. Until now, Facebook showed ads only to its members when people landed on third-party sites that were signed up to its Audience Network ad system. That meant that it only ever bothered tracking what Facebook users did, in order to learn about them and better target advertising.

David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Images Facebook boss, Mark Zuckerberg Speaking during an interview at The Next Web conference in Amsterdam, Peter Sunde said that there is "no democracy" online.  "People in the tech industry have a lot of responsibilities but they never really discuss these things ... Facebook is the biggest nation in the world and we have a dictator, if you look at it from a democracy standpoint, Mark Zuckerberg is a dictator. I did not elect him. He sets the rules," Sunde told CNBC. "And really you can't opt out of Facebook. I'm not on Facebook but there are a lot of drawbacks in my offline world. No party invitations, no updates from...

It's the moment we've all been dreading. JOSH HARKINSON MAY 27, 2016 1:41 AM Robert Piras /Shutterstock It's the moment we've all been dreading. Initial findings from a massive federal study,  released on Thursday,  suggest that radio-frequency (RF) radiation, the type emitted by cellphones, can cause cancer. The findings from a $25 million study, conducted over two-and-a-half years by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), showed that male rats exposed to two types of RF radiation were significantly more likely than unexposed rats to develop a type of brain cancer called a glioma, and also had a higher chance of developing the rare, malignant form of tumor known as a schwannoma of the heart.

As our cars become more connected, do they pose more of a threat to our privacy? By Matthew Wall Business reporter, BBC News 5 November 2014   From the section  Business    Modern cars are morphing into mobile data centres - connected, clever and packed full of sensors. But are they also becoming spies in our drives? As they record almost every aspect of our journeys and driving behaviour, interacting with our smartphone apps and sat-nav systems, who will own all the data they generate, how will it be used, and will our privacy inevitably be compromised? Dashboard nannies Telematics "black boxes" from insurance companies and related smartphone apps can already measure how aggressively we accelerate and the G-forces we generate hurtling too fast round corners. This monitoring technology is even becoming sophisticated enough to recognise different drivers based on their signature driving styles. Read more  http://www.bbc.com/news/...

by  KATHERINE TIMPF   May 6, 2015 3:24 PM   @KATTIMPF Bedtime-story privilege?  A ccording to a professor at the University of Warwick in England, parents who read to their kids should be thinking about how they’re “unfairly disadvantaging other people’s children” by doing so. In an interview with ABC Radio last week, philosopher and professor Adam Swift  said  that since “bedtime stories activities . . . do indeed foster and produce . . . [desired] familial relationship goods,” he wouldn’t want to ban them, but that parents who “engage in bedtime-stories activities” should definitely at least feel kinda bad about it sometimes: “I don’t think parents reading their children bedtime stories should constantly have in their minds the way that they are unfairly disadvantaging other people’s children, but I think they should have that thought occasionally,” he said. But Swift also added that some other things parents do to give their...

Long-Dreaded Superbug Found in Human and Animal in U.S.   POSTED THU, 05/26/2016  A gene conferring resistance to the last-ditch drug colistin has been found in E. coli in the United States.   PHOTOGRAPH BY IAN CUMING, ALAMY The antibiotic resistance factor MCR, which protects bacteria against the final remaining drugs of last resort, has been found in the United States for the first time—in a person, and separately, in a stored sample taken from a slaughtered pig. Department of Defense researchers disclosed Thursday in a  report placed online  by the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy that a 49-year-old woman who sought medical care at a military-associated clinic in Pennsylvania last month, with what seemed to be a urinary tract infection, was carrying a strain of  E. coli  that possessed resistance to a wide range of drugs. That turned out to be because the organism carried 15 different ...

By  Lena H. Sun  and  Brady Dennis To Your Health May 26 at 5:03 PM   CRE, a family of bacteria pictured, is considered one of the deadliest superbugs because it causes infections that are often resistant to most antibiotics. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Reuters) This post has been updated. For the first time, researchers have found a person in the United States carrying bacteria resistant to antibiotics of last resort, an alarming development that the top U.S. public health official says could mean "the end of the road" for antibiotics. The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman. Defense Department researchers determined that she carried a strain of E. coli resistant to the antibiotic colistin, according to a study  published Thursday  in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a publication of the American Society for Microbiology. The authors wrote that the...
