In popular culture, there are certainly a lot of iconic franchises that have gathered a huge number of fans all around the world. From titles like Star Wars to The Simpsons, such series spanned different entertainment mediums and delivered some of the best experiences in the world.One very popular example is Star Trek, which started off as a tongue-in-cheek TV series documenting the travels of the space ship Enterprise and its crew. Since then, it has been entertaining many generations and delivering some unforgettable moments in various spin-offs and even video games.Speaking of games, one of the more recent ones is Star Trek: Tactical Assault, developed by Quicksilver Software and published by Bethesda Softworks for the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS.

HTTP:: L Oreal to Come Out with Eyelash Serum for Longer Lashes
--------
Three years of intensive research have paid off, as cosmetics giant L’Oreal is currently preparing to release a new product on the international market, a serum that, if successful, will literally make mascara redundant. Said product is believed to be based on recent medical findings and to lead to longer and thicker eyelashes by prolonging the amount of time of growth of individual lashes, as The Telegraph can confirm. Since long, luscious lashes have always been held as a sign of beauty and grace, researchers at the L’Oreal laboratories in Paris started thinking about ways to make them longer and thicker. They began by analyzing the growth of lashes and bodily hair, and noticed that, while head hair could grow up to three years, a lash’s life cycle was limited to only three months. This means that individual lashes grow for three months and then fall, which means their length can be influenced by prolonging the amount of growing time. In doing so, the number of las!
hes on the lid is also increased, which, in turn, translates into longer and thicker lashes without mascara. Based on these findings, L’Oreal developed a serum that would be sold over the counter for the lengthening of eyelashes and that literally aimed at replacing traditional mascara from wome...

Zuma's Revenge, the latest incarnation of the popular puzzle series from PopCap Games, has been confirmed to arrive on Mac next month. Zuma's Revenge is said to reinvent the immensely addictive game with high-resolution graphics, new game mechanics, new game modes and power-ups. “The original Zuma has millions of fans around the world,” Jason Kapalka, co-founder and creative director at PopCap, said, “so there was a lot of pressure when doing the sequel to really deliver something they'd love, without wrecking the classic Zuma gameplay. Zuma's Revenge! adds a ton of variety to the mix, with over 60 new maps, all new power-up balls like the Laser Frog and Lightning Color Nuke, and a half dozen custom 'boss battles' against giant, evil tiki spirits. Plus we've added several new modes, including a speedy 'blitz'-style challenge game and the fearsome Iron Frog gauntlet for the most elite players.” One of the game’s beta testers, Rick Fortin (who beat the game with !
34 extra lives and a score of 3,384,820 points) has declared the upcoming Zuma a winner. “From the spectacular visuals and 3-D effects â€" which work great even on an older PC like mine â€" to the new game modes such as the maddening (but beatable!)

--------
Wireless Internet is no doubt headed for even wider use in the coming years. Spurred by better coverage and bandwidth and, equally, by better and more portable mobile devices, Internet on the go is seeing a solid growth in most areas. A new study in the US shows wireless Internet use rising 41 percent in just one year.The study, released by Meraki, a cloud-based mesh networking company, took a sample of the devices using 10,000 of its APs across the US. The survey looked at the number and distribution of the devices in June 2, 2008 and June 1, 2009 for a 24-hour period, and showed a dramatic rise in mobile Internet use, which grew from 149,000 devices connected in 2008 to 211,000 this year, a 41 percent increase.While the overall growth is impressive, even more impressive is the growth some companies saw in this period, far outpacing the overall trend. Apple was the fastest growing company across all categories and compared to all other companies studied. Apple devices, inc!
luding notebooks, iPhones and iPod Touch, were more than three times as numerous this year, seeing a 221 percent growth, from 21,000 in 2008 to more than 67,000 today.Intel-based devices, meaning traditional laptops and netbooks, also saw some growth in the last year, with an 11 percent rise in numbers, but their share of th...

Nintendo is one of the biggest video game companies in the world, owning a lot of extremely profitable and popular franchises, from the likes of Mario, The Legend of Zelda, or Metroid. But another highly successful, yet not that well-known, is Star Fox.Introduced during the 2006 edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the game reached Nintendo's native Japan on August 3, North America on August 28, and Europe on January 26, 2007. It was developed by Q-Games and published by Nintendo in all of the aforementioned territories.“Star Fox Command isn't intended as a redesign of the series; it is the merged outcome of combining the Star Fox franchise with the Nintendo DS and its special features,” its creators said. “There was no intention to take it to the strategic level of Advance Wars, as Star Fox has always been very much a pick-up-and-play kind of game. We just wanted people to have some light fun with the touch screen, drawing their routes, capturing bases and t!

There are certainly a lot of MMORPGs out there, many struggling to find a story universe in which all of the classes and characters make sense. One game that managed such a thing is Funcom's Age of Conan, which has its background in the universe of the famous warrior. After registering quite a lot of acclaim from critics and being fairly popular in front of other titles like Warhammer Online, the game was rumored to be facing termination, but Funcom fought back and brought the title into the public spotlight again. Now, the company has announced the first expansion to the game, subtitled Rise of the Godslayer. The add-on will be inspired from the rich and colorful cultures of eastern Asia and will send players on a voyage to the Empire of Khitai, where many hours of epic adventures await each and every one of them. New features like faction gameplay and an alternate advancement system will also be included, besides the new storyline and open world. “Since the turn of t!

“District 9,” the alien movie atop at the North American box-office this weekend and clearly the biggest surprise of the new releases, might get to see a sequel as well, main star Sharlto Copley reveals for MTV. The way the entire movie was shot means a lot of extra scenes were left after it was edited and the material in itself could be just enough for a sequel, which is now warranted somehow by the film’s performance at the box-office. Coming from the relatively new to the scene director Neill Blomkamp, the gritty sci-fi movie deals with one of the unlikeliest and, at the same time, most dreaded alliances ever imagined by man, that between humans and aliens who possess the kind of weaponry and technology that we neither understand nor are able to replicate. The aliens are all camped in a large, over-militarized and extremely well-guarded area that comes to be known as District 9. Trouble begins when military forces are deployed in the area with the purpose of reloc!
ating the aliens to another region, a new one, District 10. “Copley said that the very nature of the production â€" its improvisatory dialogue, the filmmakers’ decision to shoot tons of material and see what developed â€" left nearly enough video on the cutting room floor for another installme...

The Nintendo DS has seen quite a few franchises flourish on it and give birth to a very successful and profitable series. An example of such a thing is Disney's Spectrobes franchise, which has seen a huge success with the first iteration when it was launched a few years ago.Realizing just what it had on its hands, the company tasked the Jupiter studio with creating a sequel to it. This new project was finalized with Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, which was released on October 7, 2008 in North America, while Japan received it on December 11, the same year, and Europeans on February 27, 2009.The game boasts some major improvements over the first title, while continuing the story of Rallen and Jeena, two space officers who have saved their native Nanairo system from the evil Krawls.

It’s not uncommon for celebrities to poke fun at themselves and to be appreciated for it, because, to some extent, it shows fans that they don’t take themselves too seriously, which is perhaps one of the biggest “crimes” they can commit and of which they’re often accused. This is precisely why the first thing we’d have to be thankful for if Britney Spears were president would be that she would finally get some media attention, the singer herself said on David Letterman. In recent years, especially since word started circulating in the media that her marriage to Kevin Federline was not really working and that a meltdown was approaching (which did happen), Britney Spears has been one of the most mediated celebrities, despite the fact that, for a while, professionally, she did little to account for the coverage. This is precisely why the number-one way in which the US would benefit if Britney Spears were president is so ridiculously funny, as countless local and !
international outlets point out. Dressed in her swimsuit (with Letterman even urging viewers to count how many times she switches from one thigh to another), with a flower in her hair and generally looking very good, Britney delivered the big LOLs on Letterman’s most recent show, it is being sai...

Still, some of his patients say it’s all a big, racial issue, as TMZ can confirm. In a bid to clear at least part of his much-soiled image, Dr. Murray released a video of himself, thanking all those who have supported him so far and explaining why he has not been able to return their phone calls and messages. In the same video, given to the media by the publicist of Murray’s attorney’s, the doctor also stresses that he has been cooperative with the police, by delivering them only the truth â€" and this must account for something in the long run, as the truth will eventually prevail and !

HTTP:: Pterosaurs Preferred Landing on Prehistoric 039 Runways 039
--------
Archaeologists have recently managed to uncover a first-of-its-kind prehistoric runway for pterosaurs, the ancient ancestors of modern birds. The tracks, found at a location dubbed Pterosaur Beach, in southwestern France, are the first evidence to show how these animals landed and took off, which is something that is apparently very rare to come by. The main reason for this is the fact that the proto-birds were very light, and did not leave a massive imprint on the ground, such as the largest dinosaurs that ever roamed the Earth, the 50-tonne sauropods, did, LiveScience reports. The French location proves, however, to have been a very suitable place for recording the landings and take-offs of the light pterosaurs. Made entirely out of fine-grained limestone deposits, the structure provided the perfect scaffolding on which the two-foot-long feet of the proto-birds got molded and stored over millions of years. The tracks have been determined to date back to some 140 million!
years ago, to the Late Jurassic period. The pterosaur was a pterodactyloid flying lizard, with a wingspan no larger than three feet (one meter). The pristinely preserved tracks managed to provide anthropologists with a remarkable site to study the landing and take-off behavior of the early birds. They determined that the...

HTTP:: Rune Factory 2 A Fantasy Harvest Moon Hints LXXIII DS
--------
Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon is a role-playing video game that features heavy simulation aspects. It was developed by Neverland and published by Marvelous Interactive and Natsume for Nintendo's hugely successful DS handheld video game console. It was first launched in its native Japan on January 3, 2008, and reached North American shores on November 18, the same year. As of yet, the game hasn't been released in Europe or in other territories.The title focuses on delivering a fantasy farm-simulation experience and is part of the very successful Harvest Moon video game franchise, which has sold extremely well on the Nintendo DS in all of its iterations. Rune Factory 2 is, of course, the sequel to the first Rune Factory, which has gained critical acclaim for the introduction of the basic Harvest Moon recipe into a fantasy setting and letting players explore the open world of the game.The title stays true to the Harvest Moon recipe, as in ten seconds, ten in-game minu!
tes will pass, a trademark of the series. The player can go on to grow crops, but wielding the farm tools can decrease their stamina. The classic mechanic of buying animals has now been replaced by the task of defeating monsters in dungeons, similar to a lot of RPGs present on the Nintendo DS....

HTTP:: Brad Pitt Gave Me Drugs Quentin Tarantino Says
--------
In recent weeks, as Brad Pitt was doing media rounds promoting his latest film, “Inglourious Basterds,” the question of whether he was still smoking pot came up. Pitt’s answer was unequivocal: he had stopped that and had become a responsible father to his six children. Quentin Tarantino, it seems, was not informed of this, as he has just spilled the beans on Pitt’s occasional drug use on Howard Stern’s radio show, WorstPreviews says. For those failing to see the connection, “Inglourious Basterds” is directed by Tarantino and, as with any other project coming from him, during the shooting, he became close to the members of the cast, especially to Brad. As a matter of fact, Quentin and Brad became such good friends, that they often hang out together until the early hours of morning, the director tells the King of All Media, Stern. One time, Tarantino recalls, he flew all the way to France to meet with the actor and discuss some details about the film with hi!
m. The two stood up until three o’clock in the morning, Tarantino says, drinking and talking. However, that was not the best part of the night, as that came only when Pitt took out a brick of hash, a pocket knife and started cutting a slice to Tarantino, who deemed this the “coolest” thing B...

As you all know, the GamesCon conference is currently underway in Cologne, Germany. We're already in day two of the convention and there have already been some huge announcements made by Sony yesterday in regard to the PlayStation 3 Slim and new features for the PSP. But today was Microsoft's turn to reveal new things as it has just held its joint press conference with its premiere European development studio, Lionhead. As you might know, there has been a teaser campaign on the Lionhead website lately, with every day revealing a famous historical leader, from Che Guevara to Abraham Lincoln, with pictures that were complemented by a quote from each and every person. Now, as the press conference finished, Peter Molyneux revealed that his team was working on Fable III, which would arrive in late 2010, two years after the release of Fable II. The game will give you the primary task of becoming Albion's king and leading the people to happiness and the kingdom to glory. Fable !
III will be something bold and different, Molyneux promises, stating that story and drama will play a major part in it.

HTTP:: New Ubuntu Installer Coming Soon

Canonical is working hard these days to redesign the Ubuntu installer (also known as Ubiquity) into something a little more in tune with our times. We've already told you in our latest report on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Alpha 4 that Ubiquity now has a "Quit" button during all the installation steps, so you can quit the installer at any time. Moreover, the time zone selection items have been changed a little to reflect the region/zone only and the city. Today we will present, exclusively for our readers here at Softpedia, what the Ubuntu developers intend to add next in the Ubiquity installer. The package is called "ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu" and it is designed to offer an Ubuntu-flavored slideshow for the Ubiquity installer. What this means? Those of you who installed Microsoft Windows XP or Mandriva Linux, or openSUSE already know what this slideshow is supposed to do. Long story short, it will display some content, every 20 seconds or so, especially created to introduc!

Pingie: HTTP:: Immune System Trait Is 60 Million Years Old

HTTP:: Immune System Trait Is 60 Million Years Old
--------
Primates and humans have been recently proven to have yet another thing in common, that is an immune system component that was apparently so effective at doing its job that it was retained in bodies for 60 million years, long before we separated from apes through evolution. This amazing ability is the production of anti-bactericidal, protein-controlling vitamin D, which cannot be found in species other than primates in the world, ScienceDaily reports. Vitamin D was found a long time ago to be in charge of regulating parts of the immune system, but no one suspected that its role was essential to our species' survival. It would appear that all primates, ranging from capuchin monkeys to baboons, that have this ability are entirely dependent on it, which may explain why it hasn't evolved into something else, or disappeared completely, over so many years of evolution. During this time, other traits were considerably modified, as evidenced by our internal and external differen!
ces from our evolutionary cousins. The cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide is the most important immune system component influenced by vitamin D, but the exact mechanisms through which this happens are not entirely known. In addition to fighting pathogens and infections, the peptide also plays an important part in regulating several diffe...

The concept of urban metabolism is not by far a new one. Scientists have proposed that similarities exist between the world's megacities and living organisms for a long time, but now reports on how human settlements function are drawing more and more parallels to the living world. The comparisons, experts say, may help them get a better understanding of how we influence the quality of the air in metropolises, the lives of people living around the major urban centers, as well as the global climate. These conclusions belong to a new “urban metabolism” report, recently presented by experts at the 238th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), held in Washington DC between August 16-18, ScienceDaily reports. “Carbon dioxide and other pollutants in megacities make them immense drivers of climate change. They impact climate on both a regional and global level because these long-lived greenhouse gases are dispersed around the world,” Charles Kolb, PhD, expl!

The expert holds a double appointment at the Billerica, Massachusetts-based Aerodyne Research Inc.'s Center for Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry and the Center for Aerosol and Cloud Chemistry.

An upgrade for the latest iteration of Microsoft’s instant messaging client is now available for download. The evolution of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) will take the application all the way to version 14.0.8089.726. The Redmond company has kept a tight lid on the development of the Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009) update, and at the time of this article it did not offer any details related to the availability of Build 14.0.8089.726. However, the direct download links are live, and users of the company’s IM client can go ahead and grab the latest release of Windows Live Messenger 9.0 (2009).

It was a highly anticipated day, as many gamers and game journalists wanted to see which rumors regarding the Japanese company would come true. One of the most talked about announcements regarded the supposedly true PlayStation 3 Slim and how it would arrive coupled with a $100 price cut off the regular tag associated with the console. All of these things came true, as Sony's Kaz Hirai went on stage and revealed the new and improved PS3 Slim, codenamed CECH-2000A. The model, which will be sporting a matte charcoal black exterior, is almost half the height of the original PS3 and will come in just one 120GB flavor, for only 300 dollars, Euros or 29980 yen.

HTTP:: Robots Evolve to Be Deceiving

According to a new set of experiments, it would appear that robots have the ability to deceive other robots, especially after they are specifically bred to do so. In the studies, small machines with artificial, animal-derived computer brains, quickly learned to deceive each other, if the reward was well worth. The find may help accelerate the field of robotics, and also design more intelligent machines that would not give away any information willingly, Wired informs. The new robots were the size of a football, and they were laden with sensors, bright, flashy lights and wheels. They were placed on the floor, among discs of paper standing in for either “food” or “poison.” The original machines simply roamed the surfaces, emitting light randomly. After each of the trials, in which they had to find as much food as possible, the researchers would copy the digital brain of the most successful machine, and insert it into the next generation of robots, alongside a few ch!
anges, so as to favor “evolution.” After a few generations, some of the machines learned how to recognize flashing lights emitted by others as a clear indicator that food was nearby, and jumped right in the middle of the action, pushing and showing others out of their path.

HTTP:: New Implantable Device Monitors Tumors
--------
Before the best course of treatment for cancer tumors is established, analyzing them is the top priority. Biopsies are at this point the main way to do this, but they consume lots of time and resources, and also offer only a one-angled view of the problem, at a specific point in time. That is precisely why oncologists have tried for a long time to create an implantable device that could supply all the needed information from inside the patient, without the need for biopsies and other tests. Now, experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have managed to do just that. The main scientist behind the new medical instrument is MIT Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Michael Cima. “What this does is basically take the lab and put it in the patient,” he explains. He also holds an appointment at the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Institute. With it, monitoring a patient's tumor may become as simple as them taking a si!
ngle trip to the doctor's office. When the first biopsy is conducted, the new implant can also be placed near the tumor, after which time no additional interventions other than the actual surgery will be required. The new device can tell experts if the drugs used for chemotherapy have reached the actual tumor or not, or if the formatio...

Pingie: HTTP:: Comet Reveals Life Precursor Chemical

HTTP:: Comet Reveals Life Precursor Chemical
--------
Over the past years, a significant portion of the international astronomical community has come to the conclusion that life on our planet must have originally come from comets. Of course, it is not talking about bacteria or other types of microorganisms, but about the chemicals that were needed for the initial reactions that first led to the formation of amino-acids to take place. Now, this theory is further added on, as the amino-acid glycine, which is an essential component of all living things, has been discovered to exist on the comet Wild 2. Previously discovered comets that fell on the Earth billions of years ago have already revealed traces of interesting chemicals, and some theories say that even the platinum that can now be found on the planet came from space, Wired informs. “If you’re seeing amino acids in comets, then that really gives credence to the idea that the basic components of life are going to be widespread throughout the universe. It’s one thing!
for me to do it in the lab and say it should be so, but it’s another thing for somebody to actually measure it,” NASA Astrobiology Institute planetary biologist Max Bernstein, who has not been part of the new investigation, explains. The sample of material from Wild 2 that has been recently analyzed came fro...

Pingie: HTTP:: Bethesda Says It Will Continue to Develop The Elder Scrolls Franchise

HTTP:: Bethesda Says It Will Continue to Develop The Elder Scrolls Franchise
--------
Bethesda is slowly becoming one of the most important video game developers and publishers in the industry, making a name for itself by releasing some pretty important games, although a bit on the buggy side. One of the most important franchises for the developer is The Elder Scrolls, which has seen its award-winning fourth iteration, Oblivion, gain a lot of fans all around the world, even though it wasn't one of the most perfect games on the market. But Oblivion appeared a long time ago, so at this year's QuakeCon Bethesda's Todd Howard was asked whether or not we could expect a new Elder Scrolls game in the near future. Apparently, the executive revealed that the company currently had no plans to continue the franchise. This caused a lot of concern among average gamers, but one of the leaders of the studio, Pete Hines, went on to clarify the statements made by Howard. “That was not a direct quote from him,” Hines said. “That was someone's interpretation of what h!
e said. I know, I was there. At his QuakeCon talk he was asked when TESV is coming out and Todd replied, “Don't look for a new Elder Scrolls game in the near future.” He also went on to say how much the franchise means to us and that it definitely will continue. He just wasn't g...

HTTP:: Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith Unlockables DS
--------
Hollywood's love affair with the gaming industry has been going on for quite some time now. Ever since the early days of the Atari or the Nintendo Entertainment System, hot movie properties have been ported and adapted so that movie-goers can spend some more money on those licensed video games.The bigger the impact on pop culture the franchise has, the more quickly it needs to be turned into a video game. This is especially true with the Star Wars franchise, which has seen a lot of video games based on its rich universe. One of the more recent ones has been directly tied to the third episode of the beloved franchise, Revenge of the Sith.The license was given by LucasArts to Ubisoft in order to create a multiplatform game that would be directly tied to the movie and appear on the same day, May 5, 2005. The title appeared for many devices including the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameBoy Advance or the Nintendo DS.Centered around Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, right at the end!
of the Clone Wars, the game featured many scenes from the movie and portrayed the intense fighting that happened during it. 18 levels constitute the title and you can even watch almost 12 minutes of movie footage during the cut scenes. Enemies that the two Jedi masters can encounter ...

Pingie: HTTP:: Bacteria Shape Shift to Pass Through Nanoslits

HTTP:: Bacteria Shape Shift to Pass Through Nanoslits
--------
Bacteria are known around the world for their amazing abilities to withstand even the harshest conditions our planet has to offer. They have been found living under miles of ice, near hydrothermal vents, and in volcano craters, and some species have evolved to have such an effect on our bodies, that we cannot live without them. But their ability to deform physically has been little studied. A new investigation has revealed that they are able to pass through nanoslits â€" openings just a few nanometers wide â€" without showing any difficulty in multiplying at the same time, ScienceDaily reports. The bacteria proved to be remarkably elastic. They managed to take an almost completely flat shape while passing through the obstacle, but the massive deformities they showed in no way hindered their abilities to divide and produce new microorganisms. The newly found ability was demonstrated for the first time by researchers at the Delft University of Technology (DUT) Kavli Institu!
te of Nanoscience, whose study was accepted for publication in the September 1st issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), as a cover article. In the experiments, the researchers constructed minuscule channels, only one micrometer or less in diameter, and measuring up to 50 micrometers in len...

Pingie: HTTP:: Xbox Live Will Expand to Consoles Web and Beyond

HTTP:: Xbox Live Will Expand to Consoles Web and Beyond
--------
Xbox Live is one of the most important online services designed for the Xbox 360 console made by Microsoft. It provides a top-notch environment for gamers and for the companies that create the titles and it receives newer and newer features everyday, with the likes of Facebook, Twitter or Last.fm being set to appear in the near future. That is why Microsoft aims to keep on improving the service in order to further attract new people into buying an Xbox 360 and keep the present users loyal to the console. But it seems that things might not be confined to the console in the near future as a new job application tells a few things about the direction in which the online service will be heading. It is quite similar to the “Live Anywhere” concept that was revealed by Microsoft quite some time ago, but thought to have disappeared from the roadmap of the service. This job listing for a “Live community director” seems to confirm that we will see the service in a lot of pla!
ces soon enough. Microsoft is looking for someone who would be asked to do many things including: “...manage Microsoft's Live community strategy and execution across a range of properties, from Xbox Live to Windows Mobile. This senior position will play a vital role in the community space as the Live...

Pingie: HTTP:: Looking at Photos of Cakes Strengthens Women s Determination

HTTP:: Looking at Photos of Cakes Strengthens Women s Determination
--------
It’s never advisable to get someone to do something out of guilt because, presumably, that person would rather be doing anything else than that specific thing. Yet, when it comes to women and their weight-loss attempts, it could very well be that a little guilt is all they need to remember their healthy goals and get a boost of motivation, a new study suggests, as The Telegraph reports. The guilt trap in question is prompted by something as simple as looking at a photo of a cake. Instead of triggering cravings or, even worse, indulgence, said action can actually have a very surprising effect in that it might stimulate women to focus harder on their healthy goals. At the same time, looking at a picture of a delicious cake also strengthens their determination to lose weight, the same study has learned, also because they feel guilty. This conclusion was reached after psychologist Floor Kroese gathered a group of 54 female volunteers, all students. Half of them were presen!
ted with photos of chocolate cakes, while the other half was shown pictures of a flower. The women were told the purpose of the study was to determine certain aspects related to visual memory. Afterwards, they were asked about their eating habits and how much of an importance they assigned to healthy living, and then t...
