Name: 150 years old.

Age: 150 years old.

Appearance: The new threescore and ten.

What does that mean? Threescore and ten, or 70 years, was the old biblical measure of your allotted time on earth. And 150 is the latest measure.

You mean were all going to live to be 150? No. Its just that 150 is as long as anyone is ever going to live.

Who says? A new study published in Nature Communications, which analysed medical data from hundreds of thousands of volunteers, boiling them down to a single measurement of ageing, the dynamic organism state indicator.

What did they learn? Their findings suggest the human bodys progressive loss of physiological resilience the ability to recover from illness and other stress factors reaches a critical point, resulting in a fundamental or absolute limit of human lifespan somewhere about 150 years.

Thats ridiculous. Did this study include any vampires? Not knowingly. Anyway, this is supposed to be good news. 150 is almost double the current UK life expectancy.

I know, but I assumed that by the time I got to 80, they would have extended it to somewhere between 900 and for ever. Dont fret. A startup is developing treatments that could extend limits on lifespan dramatically.

For everyone? No, for dogs. The startup, operating under the brand name Loyal, is embarking on a study of more than 500 dogs, and hopes to have specific anti-ageing treatments for pets within three years.

Whats the current maximum age for a dog? The oldest verified canine was an australian cattle dog called Bluey, who died at the age of 29 in 1939. More recently, there have been unverified reports of dogs living to 30.

And whats that in human years? 210, give or take.

You mean my dog is going to live longer than I am? Well no, because a dog year is equivalent to seven human years, and even thats an unreliable approximation of

This is an outrage! At this rate my dog will have to pay to have me put down. Focus on the positive a study of canine longevity could ultimately be of benefit to us all. Dogs are one of the best models of human ageing, says Loyals founder, Celine Halioua.

In that case, my dog says he would like to volunteer for trials. What a good boy.

Do say: Stay active, maintain a healthy weight, die anyway.

Dont say: Eat more meat, chase more cars.

Area roundup: Muncie Police conducting hiring process through July 16 - The Star Press

In a feverishly exciting experiment drawn to a close, a group of researchers from Singapore is digging deep into finding the maximum age of Homo sapiens. Three large researching groups from the US, UK, and Russia are also a part of the study that analyses the pace of aging and other factors that can extend the numbers.

The group of researchers from Singapore-based Biotech company Gero published a conclusion regarding a pace of aging that may effectively set the life span between 120 and 150. To draw results, they took into account changes in blood cell count depending upon the number of steps people took. The health data used was from people living in the UK, USA, and Russia.

According to the researchers, the loss of resilience is the main cause for death in absence of other obvious reasons, like murder, fatal accidents, or deadly diseases. Resilience is the bodys capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. They went on to highlight how the human body has to let resilience fade away only by 120-150 years and not sometime earlier.

If cells repair and organs function on their own easily, not involving with greater pressure and other artificial equipment under the influence of a disaster or other fatalities, a humans lifespan can increase effectively, for the proper functioning and correct capabilities of the organs ensure that the human body continues to work that way for many years.

Like a machine, they get old, but it lies with us to ensure that the senile part comes at a later stage in our life. Ageing in humans exhibits universal features common to complex systems operating on the brink of disintegration, the researchers said in a statement.

The researchers think that to increase our life span, changes need to be made in our resilience factor and the aging process. Otherwise, the change will only be an incremental increase in human longevity. It is with utmost importance we get to note that the longest recorded person to have lived was from France named Jeanne Calment who died at the age of 122.

The researchers discovered that recovery from stress took longer than usual at old age, and noted it with great regret that this recovery delay that rightfully belonged to the senility downed its levels to the younger range. They concluded that the recovery rate of stress is one of the prime factors in aging, and they released a statement that they are working on pushing the recovery rate to a later age, say the 70s and 80s.

As much as it sounds intimidating, how do you think an increase in the aging limit might help us in real, or if its beneficial? Let us know in the comments.

The fate of the death-defying Bioscleave House, also known as the Lifespan Expanding Villa, once again hangs in the balance with news that the experimental four-bedroom dwelling in East Hampton, New York, has returned to the market with a listing price of $975,000a bona fide bargain considering the zip code.

As reported by the New York Post, the 1.1-acre property at 113 Springy Hill Road was recently listed by Brown Harris Stevens Hamptons in a move that might invoke a sense of dj vu for those following the recent plight of the experimental abode, originally completed in 2008 for a reported cost of $2 million by avant-garde artists, designers, and authors, Arakawa and Madeline Gins. The home was previously listed in 2018 for $2.5 million and, at the time, came perilously close to facing the wrecking ball at the hands of a local developer who sought to demolish the off-kilter local landmark and replace it with a multimillion-dollar McEstate. As of the spring of 2019, it remained on the market with a steeply reduced asking price of $1,395,000. It was for sale because the owners could reportedly no longer afford to maintain the idiosyncratic home. Failing to find a new buyer, the Bioscleave House was quietly pulled from the market only to reappear at the end of last month.

Cofounders of the Reversible Destiny Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the study of how architecture can be best deployed to stretch out the human lifespan, Arakawa and Gins, who were also husband and wife in addition to frequent collaborators, designed the Bioscleave House as an inter-active laboratory of everyday life in which every domestic feature is meant to reverse the effects of aging and transform the personal well-being and longevity of its inhabitants according to its (now deceased) designers.

A rubberneck-inducing monument to color-blocking, the riotously hued home, described as the first realized work of procedural architecture, features wonky windows, askew light fixtures, a labyrinthine basement, and nary an interior door. Think of it as a longevity-preoccupied modernist variation of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose or a Hamptons retreat inhabited by the bickering immortality-seekers from Death Becomes Her had they gone full-tilt Dadaist. (Arakawa, born in Japan as ShusakuArakawa, was indeed a protege of Marcel Duchamp.) Essentially, it was designed to keep its occupants quite literally on their toes so that are forced to actively negotiate even the simplest tasks, explains the Reversible Destiny Institute.

As A.J. Artemel wrote in his AN review of The Saddest Thing Is That I Have Had to Use Words,an anthology of writings by Gin published last year:

Gins and Arakawa designed buildings that were intended to help their occupants learn not to die. With wildly uneven and bumpy floors, wild colors, disjointeddangerous?fixtures, and unpredictable changes in scale, these spaces encourage the occupant to continuously pay attention to their surroundings, to extend their personhood into their environment, and to be reaffirmed, personified, by the forces exerted by the off-kilter surfaces in turn. If ones locus of awareness is constantly in motion like a pinball, it can never fall into stasis, non-being, death.

Arakawa and Gins both passed away within a decade of completing the Bioscleave House, a mentally and physically challengingbut potentially mortality-skirtinghabitable work of art initially commissioned by Italian collector Angela Gallmann. Arakawa died in March 2010 followed by Gins in January 2014. Both lost their life savings in Bernie Madoffs Ponzi scheme in late 2008.

The Arakawa and Gins-designed cubist structure is actually an addition to the original structure on the property, a 60s-era A-frame designed by Carl Koch. The two structuresreferred to in the listing as the back and front houseswere fused together by Arakawa and Gins to form a single structure thats own lifespan may prove to be pitifully brief if the right new owner-savior fails to emerge.

A new report sheds light on the human health outcomes related to climate change, focusing specifically on mortality data that coincides with rising temperatures across the globe.

Published Monday in the journal Nature, the study examines mortality data from 732 distinct locations across 43 countries searching for any relation between heat exposure and deaths.

The countries sampled were geographically diverse and included data from the U.S., Australia, Canada, Estonia, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Portugal, South Korea, Iran and South Africa, among others.

Referencing total deaths between select years, ranging from as early as 1991 in some countries datasets to as recent as 2018, scientists cross-referenced heat death rates with levels of warming over time, measured in increases in degrees Celsius.

The results indicate that about 37 percent of heat-related deaths can be attributed to human-caused climate change.

NEW STUDY SAYS THE EARTH COULD SEE SIX MONTH-LONG SUMMER

This amounts tomore than1 in 3 heart deaths.

Our findings support the urgent need for more ambitious mitigation and adaptation strategies to minimize the public health impacts of climate change, the authors wrote.

Risks to heat-related deaths varied widely based on geography. Some countries that were observed to carry a higher risk of mortality from heat exposure include central and western European countries, while smaller estimates of heat-related fatalities were recorded in the Americas and Asia.

Taken together, our findings demonstrate that a substantial proportion of total and heat-related deaths during our study period can be attributed to human-induced climate change, the report concludes. Our findings provide further evidence of the potential benefits of adopting strong mitigation policies to reduce future warming and of enacting adaptation interventions to protect populations from the adverse consequences of heat exposure.

This study adds to the literature linking increases in heat-related deaths to climate change. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyhas tracked heat-related fatalities annually with data going as far back as the late 70s.

While it is difficult to gauge solid increases in heat-related fatalities, heat waves and other hot temperatures usually result in spikes in mortality rates. These deaths tend to have other factors, such as heart attacks and strokes, making it difficult to dissect heat-related deaths from other causes.

Simultaneously, an earlier study conducted by the University College of London found that an estimated 54-percent increase in heat-related deaths among elderly individuals is linked to climate change.

New study says climate change is responsible for 37 percent of deaths due to heat | TheHill - The Hill

On Wednesday, President Biden announced the launch of a new initiative to boost vaccination rates across the country, with a notable emphasis on expanding outreach efforts at Black-owned barbershops and beauty salons.

This follows a national initiative to vaccinate 70 percent of U.S. adults by July 4, as Black Americans continue to be the demographic with the lowest vaccination rates, per data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The initiative, titled Shots at the Shop, will work with 1,000 Black-owned barbershops and salons across the country to support vaccination education and further community outreach. The tour will begin throughout June and display educational materials and host vaccinations on-site.

It is being sponsored in part by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Black Coalition Against COVID-19, the University of Maryland Center for Health Equity, and SheaMoisture hair products.

Participating shops will aim to support communities struggling in the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, and that are experiencing lower vaccination rates.

The plan is part of a broader agenda, titled the National Month of Action.

National Month of Action will mobilize national organizations, local government leaders, community-based and faith-based partners, businesses, employers, social media influencers, celebrities, athletes, colleges, young people, and thousands of volunteers, the announcement read.

Just 18.9 percent of Black Americans are reported as fully vaccinated, as opposed to 28.3 percent of white Americans and 20.5 percent of Hispanic Americans.

As part of the national average,about 63 percent of all U.S. adults report having been vaccinated at least once.
