SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Cold weather is far deadlier for the heart than heat, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology. Cold weather is linked to about 42,700 US heart disease deaths each year, versus just 2,200 from heat. That’s a 19-to-1 difference. Cold constricts blood vessels, raises blood pressure, and increases clot risk, putting extra strain on the heart – especially for those with existing conditions. Most deaths aren’t labeled as weather-related, hiding the true impact. Experts say health systems should use temperature forecasts to prepare and warn high-risk patients before winter hits.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Heated Rivalry” is officially getting the musical treatment. “Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody” is set to take the stage May 12 for an off-Broadway production. While the musical version of the book and TV series will draw inspiration from the source material, it will not be a loyal adaptation. Instead, it’ll be a parody of the hockey romance story. It’ll star Jay Armstrong Johnson and Jimin Moon, who are both Broadway veterans, having starred in hit shows like “Sunset Boulevard”, “Catch Me If You Can”, and others.
DID YA KNOW!?
DID YOU KNOW… The smell of old books comes from the breakdown of chemicals in paper. As books age, compounds like lignin release familiar musty scents. Many people find the smell comforting and nostalgic.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
United Airlines has unveiled a new long-haul seating option called the “Relax Row,” that gives economy passengers the chance to stretch out like never before. The dedicated rows of 3 seats can convert into a couch using adjustable leg rests, creating space to lie down mid-flight. Travelers will also get extras like a mattress pad, blanket, pillows, and family-friendly kits. Aimed at couples, solo flyers, and parents with kids, the feature is set to launch in 2027 on select jets, including over 200 planes by 2030. While similar concepts exist overseas, United says it’s the first North American airline to introduce this kind of lie-flat economy experience. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3yyun3m5
Indoor
plants don’t do much to clean the air, but they still make rooms
feel better. A major scientific review published in the journal
Building and Environment found you’d need up to 1,000 plants per
square meter to match what normal ventilation already does, when it
comes to improving indoor air. However, people in plant-filled rooms
consistently report feeling calmer, cooler, and less stressed –
even when temperature and air quality are identical. The benefits are
mostly psychological, tied to our natural response to greenery.
Plants change how a space feels, adding to our comfort, even if they
do very little to “clear the air”.

WEIRD NEWS
I don’t think there’s a chance it’ll ever be an Olympic sport, but on sometimes snowy streets in Japan, office workers are trading spreadsheets for speed…and racing through town on rolling desk chairs. What started as a quirky idea in 2010 has grown into a nationwide phenomenon, with teams of 3 competing in 2-hour endurance races across cities like Tokyo and Kyoto. Racers can cover up to 25km, wearing helmets and pushing their chairs backward…while seated…with surprising athleticism. The prize? Often, it’s 90kg of rice…and in some regions, it’s tuna. Those who are familiar with the sport (and believe me, it IS a sport) say it offers a joyful escape from Japan’s intense work culture – proving even office chairs can deliver high-speed thrills – and intense competition.
