Patrick Frater Asia Bureau ChiefThe success of Korean shows “Vincenzo” and “Squid Game” and Japanese anime such as “Attack on Titan” are justifying Netflix’s heavy spending on Asian film and TV content.The streaming giant is forecast to grow its revenues in the Asia-Pacific region by 24% in the current year as subscriber numbers swell by 20%, according to new research, from Singapore based consultancy Media Partners Asia.That optimism stands in contrast to investment sentiment in January when Netflix announced its December quarter and 2021 full year data and a spooked the financial community with a cautious (global) first quarter outlook.

Drinking coffee daily could lengthen lives and boost heart health, study finds
24.03.2022 - 21:51 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Your heart health and lifespan could be boosted by drinking two cups of coffee a day, a new study has found.
The greatest health benefits were found in individuals who drank two or three cups a day compared to those who had none.
These people had a 10 to 15 percent lower risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, a heart rhythm problem, or dying for any reason.
The study was the biggest analysis of its kind, tracking more than 400,000 Brits for at least 10 years.

The biologically active compounds also block absorption of fat into the gut and molecules linked to abnormal heart rhythms.
Overall, participants who downed less than two cups or more than three cups fared less well.
However, the risk of stroke or heart-related death was lowest among those who drank one cup of coffee a day.
Drinking coffee was also associated with a lower risk of death for people who had been diagnosed with an arrhythmia, or irregular heart beat.
For example, those with AFib (atrial fibrillation) where the heart beats rapidly were nearly 20 per cent less likely to die than non-coffee drinkers if they had one cup a day.
Senior author Professor Peter Kistler, of the Baker Heart Institute, Melbourne, Australia, said: "Because coffee can quicken heart rate, some people worry that drinking it could trigger or worsen certain heart
