ABSTRACT

Epidemiological studies of human longevity found two interesting features, robust advantage of female lifespan and consistent reduction of lifespan variation. To help understand the genetic aspects of these phenomena, the current study examined sex differences and variation of longevity using previously published mouse data sets including data on lifespan, age of puberty, and circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) levels in 31 inbred strains, data from colonies of nuclear-receptor-interacting protein 1 (Nrip1) knockout mice, and a congenic strain, B6.C3H-Igf1. Looking at the overall data for all inbred strains, the results show no significant difference in lifespan and lifespan variation between sexes; however, considerable differences were found among and within strains. Across strains, lifespan variations of female and male mice are significantly correlated. Strikingly, between sexes, IGF1 levels correlate with the lifespan variation and maximum lifespan in different directions. Female mice with low IGF1 levels have higher variation and extended maximum lifespan. The opposite is detected in males. Compared to domesticated inbred strains, wild-derived inbred strains have elevated lifespan variation due to increased early deaths in both sexes and extended maximum lifespan in female mice. Intriguingly, the sex differences in survival curves of inbred strains negatively associated with age of female puberty, which is significantly accelerated in domesticated inbred strains compared to wild-derived strains. In conclusion, this study suggests that genetic factors are involved in the regulation of sexual disparities in lifespan and lifespan variation, and dissecting the mouse genome may provide novel insight into the underlying genetic mechanisms.

The Divine Light of Healing and Understanding The Crystal Age of Abundance and Longevity – FinalCall.com News

Posted: at 11:02 pm

[Editors Note: This article is reprinted from Volume 33, No. 9; and The Final Call will continue to reprint articles written by our late and dear Mother Tynnetta Muhammad.]

Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. A likeness of His light is as a pillar on which is a lampthe lamp is in a glass, the glass is as it were a brightly shining starlit from a blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof gives light, though fire touch it notlight upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He pleases. And Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Knower of all things Holy Quran, Surah 24, verse 35

All the cells of our body resonate with the intelligent communication of sounds and color and overall in perfect harmony and alignment with the forces of nature. This electrochemistry of the human body is capable of self-healing as a part of the element of our eco-system working within and without. In understanding this subject we, like the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, have to be exposed to erratic conditions that shape our environment and which oft times rob us of our natural state of being, causing changes in our genetic makeup and DNA. According to this resonant field of evolution that we have entered, collective consciousness is not easy to attain. Our bodies and minds are exposed to varying degrees of stressful components in our environment which can shut down our bodys natural defenses against the intrusion of illness and disease.

The original Black mans history in the Americas for more than 400 years has nearly destroyed 100 percent of our natural genetic material which defends us from this assault, leaving us open to disease and premature death. How do we reverse this condition and return back to the days of our ancestors who lived for hundreds of years at a time in the past? First of all, we must ask the question, what is the frequency of our thoughts? How do we think about ourselves and others? How can we be separated from the miserable condition that has been produced through ignorance and the lack of knowledge of self and kind now being exposed to a contaminant environment? The very air we breathe is toxic as well as many of the thoughts that we think. Our healing and restoration depends greatly upon the quality of our thinking and our determination to overcome the obstacles that lie in our path.

One might ask what does thought have to do with our miserable state of condition? If we can change the way we think about ourselves and others, we are in the process of eliminating the waste material that has accumulated over the years as a result of our disrespect to ourselves and a righteous way of life. When we, as a people, were found by our Saviour, Fard Muhammad, he described our condition as that of a dead man or a person who has been totally robbed of the knowledge of self and the knowledge of God and were living a savage lifestyle. Along with our thinking, we must breathe pure and clean oxygen in the air and take in vital foods to fight stress and disease.

Through centuries of exploitation and fear during the period of slavery, we turned into ourselves and are continuing to commit mass murder and suicide as a people doomed to failure. This struggle and war against ourselves has produced a sick people, nation and society. We have practiced living the life of our former slave masters which has brought a complete fall to the fulfillment of our divine destiny.

We must stop attempting to live the lifestyle of our open enemy rather than following the essence of our own natural being and way of life.

According to our sacred writings of lessons (The Supreme Wisdom) given to us to study, the Problem Book teaches in a mathematical way that the Lost-Found Nation of Islam lacks a thorough knowledge of themselves and is living in a miserable state when we were found by our Saviour, W. D. Fard. Following this opening statement, we are given a series of six problems which describe our mental and physical condition, and we are identified as the uncle and the wife of Mr. W. D. Fard in the wilderness of North America, living a life other than their own and weighing other than themselves.

This miserable condition leads to our poor health condition which includes: rheumatism, headaches, and pain in all joints, high blood pressure and heart failure. This miserable condition continues until the second and third Uncle are totally deprived of oxygen to breathe in such a toxic atmosphere. They must depend upon the doctors with their drugs and pills to keep them alive on life support systems until we are pronounced dead. Master Fard Muhammad described our condition in this same Problem Book as being the factors of death added to the eating of the wrong food, especially the hogs diseased carcass and using other meal helpers at least three times a day, until we have created such a toxic environment in our bodies and minds that destroys our beauty appearance nearly 100 percent.

Following the discussion of the sick uncle and his wife who are related to Master Fard Muhammad, a great explosion in the very atom of the atmosphere takes place. This explosion in the atmosphere may represent an explosion of Divine Knowledge regenerating oxygen into our lifeless bodies, relieving us of the symptoms of death escaping the over 400 years of servitude slavery. In some of the research of the food and drink that was fed to our fore-parents on the TransAtlantic Slave crossing, sea water was given to our fore-parents to drink along with other undesirable food items.

The present world order of the exploitation of the Black and Indigenous people of the planet is now coming to an end and we are now being taught a higher science of divine that will restore us and lead us into a new world of thought, gradually eliminating the poisons we have carried in our bodies and our minds for over four centuries. We are now extending the life force to revive the dead and return back to a healthier condition through the Divine Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Finally, I remember how the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad upon his move to Mexico stated that he had always been looking for the right atmosphere and believed he had found it. While he was seeking to extend our life, others were plotting to take his life and to continue to pollute the environment with wicked and negative thoughts against his Divine Moves to bring our nation back to life again.

As we continue our journey with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan throughout the world on his World Friendship Tour III, we are seeing and experiencing his efforts to find a way to unite both East and West as one under the call of Divine Unity so that we who sat in darkness now see a Great Light. We, who are counted as lost, are now found and are beginning to breathe a new life of Freedom, Justice and Equality by changing the very atmosphere of our thoughts.

(It is) in houses which Allah has permitted to be exalted and His name to be remembered therein. Therein do glorify Him, in the mornings and the evenings, Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts from the remembrance of Allah and the keeping up of prayer and the paying of the poor-ratethey fear a day in which the hearts and the eyes will turn about.Holy Quran, Surah 24, verses 36-37

To be continued.

New Research Uncovers Why Bats Excel As Viral Reservoirs Without Getting Sick – SciTechDaily

Posted: at 11:02 pm

Study confirms bats adopt multiple strategies to reduce pro-inflammatory responses, thus mitigating potential immune-mediated tissue damage and disease. Findings provide important insights for medical research on human diseases.

Bats act as reservoirs of numerous zoonotic viruses, including SARS-CoV, MERS CoV, Ebola virus, andmost likelySARS-CoV-2, the pathogen behind the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. However, the molecular mechanisms bats deploy to tolerate pathogenic viruses has remained unclear.

Now scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore, have discovered novel molecular mechanisms that allow bats to tolerate zoonotic viruses without getting sick. Published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the study suggests that bats adopt unique strategies to prevent overactive immune responses, which protects them against diseases caused by zoonotic viruses.

The team examined three bat speciesPteropus alecto (black fruit bat), Eonycteris spelaea (cave nectar bat), and Myotis davidii (Davids myotis bat)and identified mechanisms that balance the activity of key proteins that play a major role in mediating immunity and inflammatory responses in mammals. These mechanisms enable bats to harbour and transmit zoonotic pathogens without setting off the detrimental consequences of immune activation.

One of the mechanisms bats use is to reduce the levels of caspase-1, a protein that triggers a key inflammatory cytokine protein, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1). Another mechanism they employ hampers the maturation of interleukin-1 beta cytokines through a finely-tuned balancing between caspase-1 and IL-1.

Suppression of overactive inflammatory responses improves longevity and prevents age-related decline in humans. Our findings may offer potential insights to the development of new therapeutic strategies that can control and treat human infectious diseases, said Professor Wang Linfa, senior and corresponding author of the study from Duke-NUS Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) Programme.

This study exemplifies the world-class research led by our talented faculty to advance fundamental scientific knowledge. Professor Wangs research is all the more important in the context of COVID-19, by contributing to a greater understanding of how zoonotic diseases persist in nature, and potentially aiding new approaches to managing future outbreaks, said Professor Patrick Casey, Senior Vice-Dean for Research, Duke-NUS Medical School.

How to live longer: Best ingredients to add to your smoothie to boost longevity – Express

Posted: at 11:02 pm

To live a long and healthy life, ensuring your diet is as natural as possible is key. Preparing meals and drinks at home is one of the best ways to ensure this as you know exactly what you are consuming without any hidden and nasty ingredients. Smoothies have become extremely popular amongst the health conscious. According to science and health experts, what are the three best ingredients to add in your smoothie to help boost your longevity?

Polyphenolsprovide significantprotection againstthe development and progression of many chronic pathological conditions including cancer, diabetes, cardio-vascular problems and aging.

Polyphenol foods are known to help boost longevity and fruits with high levels of polyphenols include black elderberries, strawberries, red raspberries, blueberries, plums, andblackcurrants.

A recent published in theJournal of Nutritionfound that large amounts of polyphenols can also boost your longevity.

Researchers found that people who took in 650 mg per day experienced a 30 percent lower mortality rate than those who took in less than 500 mg per day.

Increasing your consumption of fruits and vegetables is the best way to bolster your daily intake of these health-promoting compounds, said Dr Charlie Seltzer, a Philadelphia-based physician who specializes in anti-aging treatments.

He continued: The outer layers of many fruits and vegetables contain the highest concentrations of polyphenols, so don't peel off the skin before you eat them.

Another way to get more polyphenols from fruit is to consume them before they ripen, because polyphenol activity lessens as fruit ages.

A study showed that freeze-drying fruit,as opposed to chilling it,preserves 80 percent of its antioxidants, including polyphenols.

Cruciferous vegetable are powerhouses when it comes to overall health.

With the unique ability to modify human hormones, activate the bodys natural detoxification system and inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.

Cruciferous vegetables should be chewed thoroughly or eaten shredded, chopped, juiced, or blended in order to release their potent anti-cancer properties.

The cruciferous phytochemical sulforaphane has also been found to protect the blood vessel wall from inflammatory signalling that can lead to heart disease.

Cruciferous vegetables are the most nutrient-dense of all the foods.

For a smoothie with health benefits to boost longevity, try adding either broccoli, kale or cabbage.

The nutritional profile of seeds is very similar to nuts in that they provide healthy fats, minerals, and antioxidants, however, seeds have more protein and are abundant in trace minerals.

Flax, chia, and hemp seeds are rich in omega-3 fats.

Flax, chia, and sesame seeds are also rich lignans, breast cancer-fighting phytoestrogens.

Sesame seeds are rich in calcium and vitamin E, and pumpkin seeds are especially rich in zinc.

For maximum nutritional benefits, try adding flax or chia seeds to your daily smoothie.

All our cells are filled with small energy generators called mitochondria - but when mitochondria become old, they become less-efficient, and even possibly toxic.

Old mitochondria are recycled by the cell into new mitochondria - and this, in turn, is mitophagy.

With age, this recycling progress slows down which can lead to muscle weakness.

Scientists have discovered pomegranates contain a substance called urolithin A.

The red rich fruit is known to be one of the healthiest for a reason. It is called as a divine fruit because it is the most mentioned fruit in theological books.

Pomegranate has antioxidant, anti-viral and anti-tumour properties and is said to be a good source of vitamins, especially vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, as well as folic acid.

Gartner: 10 predictions for the next decade of IT – IDG Connect

Posted: at 11:02 pm

This is a contributed article by Daryll Plummer, Distinguished Research VP

The technologies we have today, have been stretched to their limits. But to enable the next rebound of innovation and efficiency, we need to look at non-traditional approaches the place where the next big thing is born. Knowing this is the road businesses need to take in 2021 and beyond, CIOs can expect the next decade to be dominated by radical technological innovation, changing their business models for good.

If the pandemic has taught us anything, its that the need for radical digitalisation must be a principle, not a project, ultimately forcing organisations to consider a different type of future.

As radical innovations are accelerated, in turn, traditional computing technologies are simultaneously being edged closer to hitting a digital wall, forcing the shift to new computing paradigms.

Gartner outlines 10 predictions for the reset of everything that will have a transformational impact on society and business, driving us towards these new paradigms.

Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision, and speech recognition demand substantial computing power. As they become pervasive in the business environment, general-purpose processors will be increasingly unsuitable for these digital innovations.

Silicon processors are approaching performance, economic and sustainability limits, and they will become the bottleneck for technological innovation and thus business growth.

New computing technologies, like neuromorphic computing a computer that thinks and acts more like the human brain will begin to take their place. As these new technologies mature, and follow the lead of quantum computing, they will become increasingly available and more affordable for businesses to begin experimentation. This space will become especially exciting as large vendors begin to roll out reliable as-a-service solutions in the marketplace.

By 2024, 30% of digital businesses will mandate DNA storage trials, addressing the exponential growth of data poised to overwhelm existing storage technology.

More information is being collected than ever before, but todays storage technology has critical limitations on how long data can be stored and remain uncorrupted. Currently 30 years is the limit.

DNA on the other hand is inherently resilient, capable of error checking and initiating self-repair, which makes it an ideal data storage and computing platform for a range of applications. DNA storage enables the storage of binary digital data in the double helix. It would mean a years worth of human knowledge could be stored in a gram of synthetic DNA for thousands of years. In fact, all of human knowledge could be stored in a small amount of synthetic DNA.

It sounds complex, but the technology is well-established and understood. Once adopted by businesses this will provide a longevity that traditional storage mechanisms simply cannot compete with.

By 2025, 40% of physical experience-based businesses will improve financial results and outperform competitors by extending into paid virtual experiences.

As the immersive sensory technologies evolve, their applications are getting more affordable, seamless, and understood by the general public. Businesses that provide physical experiences, like rock climbing or white-water rafting, must extend into offering paid virtual reality experiences that rival the physical ones through the use of digital twins.

At the same time, COVID-19 has transformed attitudes about physical versus virtual and changed the discussion about what people can do without physically being present or putting their safety at risk.

Examples are endless, for consumers, a virtual bike ride alongside Tour de France riders during the competition from home will be an experience fans would pay a premium for. For businesses, using AR to preview robot programming from the office in real-time will redefine the factory of the future. For Gartner, going virtual for this years IT Symposium/Xpo has shown us the big opportunity to deliver hybrid AR-integrated events in the near future to leverage the best of both worlds.

By 2025, customers will be the first humans to touch more than 20% of the products and produce in the world.

New technologies are automating an increasing number of human tasks, a trend that has been hyper-accelerated by the pandemic. This is leading to new opportunities to rethink product design, material use, plant locations and use of resources.

Customers will increasingly become the first humans to touch manufactured products and agricultural produce. Automated machines in factories and farms will do most of the work, including farming, picking, packing and shipping.

Automation, much like during the industrial revolution, will be a new source of competitive advantage and disruption. For example, an intelligent machine may not squish grapes in the same way a human packing them might. CIOs should see hyper-automation as a way to change the way the business operates, not just improve the efficiency of standalone tasks.

By 2024, 25% of traditional large-organisations CIOs will be held accountable for digital business operational results, effectively becoming COO by proxy.

A large percentage of end-user businesses dont have a COO, a vital role in digital acceleration. This is someone who understands the business and ecosystem and how to implement technology for greater impact.

As a COO by proxy, the CIO will take on the organisation-wide role and begin to close the gaps between what the technology can do, what the business can do, and what the business wants to do. As they close these gaps, they can create business value and selectively createcomposability in the business.

By 2025, 75% of conversations at work will be recorded and analysed, enabling the discovery of added organisational value or risk.

Every piece of technology, from smart speakers to virtual meetings to messaging platforms, now actively records conversations or has the ability to do so embedded in to it. Organisations need to begin to think about how to collect that data, how to analyse it, and how to use it to improve the employee and customer experiences.

For example, it might be possible to measure and work on improving overall employee satisfaction by using AI to analyse line manager meetings. However, all this data collection comes at a risk. Any organisation attempting this should create a board of ethics to ensure that the data is used responsibly, peoples privacyis respected, and an opt-out option is clearly communicated.

By 2025, customers will pay a freelance customer service expert to resolve 75% of their customer service issues.

Everyone has experienced the frustration of a bad customer service setup, and many turn to outside help like web forums, online tutorials, and social media to navigate tricky situations. Gartner predicts that through 2021, there will be a 15% rise in customers seeking outside help after being frustrated by traditional support channels.

The good news is that this means organisations will have reduced costs in certain customer service areas. The bad news is that more instances of outside help removes an important company-consumer touchpoint.

CIOs must look to partner with these freelancers early on to make sure they are trained and have what they need. Building the partnership instead of shunning it will reduce the customer experience, brand and monetisation risks created by third-party customer service providers.

By 2024, 30% of major organisations will use a new Voice of Society metric to act on societal issues and assess the impacts to their business performance.

The Voice of Society is the shared perspective of people in a community one that works toward acceptable outcomes for all by advocating for fair and equal representation and adherence to ethical values.

Organisations must consider how society affects the performance of the business, and they have a responsibility to reduce or eliminate tone-deafness or insensitivity to public concerns. Failure to do so is becoming increasingly damaging for businesses as more people turn to the internet to voice their concerns.

Sentiment analysts, media metrics figures and contributions to society measurements will matter in 2021, and opinion metrics are now as reliable as click-through analysis. Such measurement will become a C-Suite imperative so that business composition can react quickly to societal change.

By 2023, large organisations will increase employee retention by more than 20% through repurposing office space as on-site childcare and education facilities.

Worker demand for childcare is still an unmet need, and lockdown restrictions have pushed this trend over the edge. Gartner predicts that by early 2021, 20% of private childcare centres will have closed permanently, leaving a shortage of qualified providers.

Accessible on-site childcare can increase retention, employee engagement and productivity. Plus, not having to choose between childcare and a job may result in more women in leadership positions over the long term. Organisations with on-site childcare will attract more candidates. This is also an effective way to use empty office space as businesses move toward more remote workers.

By 2024, moderation services for user-generated content will be surveyed as a top CEO priority by 30% of large organisations.

With most social unrest spilling in to the virtual world, content volatility on social media has increased. Investing in content moderation, enforcement and reporting services will be critical for businesses to understand the providence of the content on their sites.

In many cases, brands and influencers are going dark altogether on user-generated content platforms until appropriate policing measures are in place. Yet site and app publishers must walk the line between enforcing policies to provide a safe environment and being accused of censorship. Therefore, brand advertisers will become responsible for neutralising polarising content using hybrid human-AI systems, especially as industry standards for content moderation will emerge.

"The first stage was be a functional human again, and open the door with the keys" – SportsJOE.ie

Posted: at 11:02 pm

The word went around about Cian Healy, back in 2007, that there was a young lad in the Leinster set-up that had pretty much lifted ALL the weights. He was bulling about his peers, in training, and his coaches felt he would get more out of sessions with the senior squad.

Healy was 19 when he made his senior Leinster debut and he added 13 more appearances the following season, 2007/08, before nailing down the No.1 jersey in 2009 as he helped his province to their first ever European Cup. There was talk of him being a possible bolter for the Lions Tour to South Africa but he missed out on that fun and had to wait until Australia came to Croke Park, later that year, to make his Test debut.

"The whole occasion," recalls Healy of his debut, "just class to be playing in Croker. There were so many big names in our team which kind of shocked me a bit. I was young and cocky and confident in myself, and I got a bit of slagging for it. But some of that confidence goes a long way.

"I remember Paulie [O'Connell] tapped me down a ball from a kick-off and that was my one outstanding memory of that game, I got a bit of a run off it."

He got a bit of a run in the Test XV too as, over the next five years, he started 46 of his 48 Test appearances, excelled at the 2011 World Cup, made the 2013 Lions squad and won his first Six Nations title in 2014.

2015 was the year where that run was brought to a jarring halt. He had already dealt with bad hamstring and ankle injuries, in the previous years, but he went in for neck surgery not long after the 2015 Six Nations. The Clontarf prop was left without the use of his right arm due to nerve damage and, he once recalled, his retirement and insurance papers were all signed and ready to send off before that year's World Cup.

He began to get feeling and sensation back in his arm, though, and he held off on ending his career at the age of 27. Now, days away from what will be his 100th Test appearance for Ireland, Healy spoke about his journey back from the brink.

"Eventually, it was broken down into so many stages. The first stage of that was be a functional human again and open the door with the keys, and stuff like that.

"Each time I became capable of something Id work on another new standard that I could work on, something else more achievable. Id build through them and keep progressing though those goals to get into the international team again. And then get to the standard of the international team. Then it was a constant drive for fitness and getting my standards up because rugby keeps moving on."

Asked what was the secret to his longevity, Healy was quick to pay credit to the team of people around him at his province, and support from those close to him.

"I've relied on a lot and rehab coaches and physios to bring me back from the brink," Cian Healy says. "They do it day in and day out for other players, and everyone requires these people at some stage to drag them back from injuries or tough places. So a lot of it stems from that.

"And a bit of a drive, personally. Im not that type of person to settle down too easily and roll over, so a bit of that as well."

IOTA Joins Project Funded by Japanese National R&D Agency NEDO to Build First-Ever AI and DLT-based Predictive Maintenance System – Business Wire

Posted: at 11:02 pm

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IOTA Foundation, a non-profit foundation focused on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and open-source ecosystem development, announced today that it has partnered on a project initiated by Best Materia and IMC, Japanese maintenance related companies, and funded by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), a national research and development agency. The goal of the project is to develop technology to strengthen the security, longevity, and durability of critical infrastructure assets in Japan and abroad.

By adding artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology to Risk Based Maintenance (RBM) Systems deployed in power plants, energy plants, industrial plants, petrochemicals and oil refining plants, the group hopes to capture a large share of the domestic social infrastructure conservation market, valued at 170 Trillion Yen (1.5 Trillion USD). This type of predictive maintenance system that shares industry data using a distributed database is set to be the first of its kind in the world.

While damage prediction assessment based on the current RBM standards exists, most processes are still left up to field workers to do manually. To further optimize these systems, maintenance data will be digitized and processed by an artificial intelligence system to predict when and which parts in a plant are going to require maintenance. This will reduce unplanned outages, improve plant availability and lower costs by reducing unnecessary inspections and repairs.

Creating a decentralized, open source and free distributed ledger technology to ensure data integrity has always been our driving purpose. As a non-profit we are honored seeing the IOTA protocol being utilized to secure a wide variety of data points in this project. Digitalizing the risk based maintenance (RBM) systems for safer and more efficient industrial plants is only one of many applications where IOTA will be used in the future. - Holger Kther, Director of Partnerships, IOTA Foundation

Because of the aging problem in Japan, we seriously need the AI system supporting our business in place of retired RBM consultants. We expect that IOTA Tangle will enable us to securely collect and store RBM related data including sensitive plant information which is the key to the accuracy of the AI system. - Shigemitsu Kihara, Best Materia, CEO

The project will develop a cloud-based SaaS software with the following capabilities:

Key Statistics About The Project:

Organizations collaborating on this project include Best Materia, IMC, High Pressure Institute of Japan, The Society of Chemical Engineers Japan, OMC, Lloyds Register and Yokohama National University.
