A Man Asked Me To Be His Mistress

I recently went to a local bar to grab a drink with a few of my friends. While waiting for the bartender to make my Malibu Bay Breeze, the man next to me started talking to me (about my hair, of course). I humored him for a few minutes, listening to what profession he’s in and how old he is (in his forties). That’s when things got interesting.

“So, listen, I have a lot of money and I’m bored with my life. Don’t get me wrong, I love my beautiful kids and my wife, but I’m looking for someone on the side.”

I sat there, jaw dropped, staring at this guy, waiting for him to say, “Just kidding.”

Anthroposophic Medicine

Anthroposophic therapies are based in fundamental Homeopathy and the Alchemy of healing plants and natural organisms which have proven very effective for treating digestive and reproductive disorders. Recently, anthroposophical therapy has been widely publicized for their efficacy in the treatment of certain Cancers.

First steps taken for regenerating whole limbs

More than 1.5 million Americans have lost a limb. Prosthetic limbs have greatly advanced in function and appearance, but the authors of the new paper acknowledge that the devices still have many limitations.

Some patients over the past 20 years have received hand transplants from donors, but this procedure comes attached with lifelong risks from immunosuppressive therapy.

This problem could be solved by using the patient's own progenitor cells to regenerate the tissue for a new limb - rather than rely on a donor - but an appropriate matrix or scaffold has yet to be devised on which scientists would be able to grow the new tissue.

"The composite nature of our limbs makes building a functional biological replacement particularly challenging," explains senior author Dr. Harald Ott, of the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Surgery and the Center for Regenerative Medicine.

Dr. Ott continues:

"Limbs contain muscles, bone, cartilage, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and nerves - each of which has to be rebuilt and requires a specific supporting structure called the matrix. We have shown that we can maintain the matrix of all of these tissues in their natural relationships to each other, that we can culture the entire construct over prolonged periods of time, and that we can repopulate the vascular system and musculature."

In animal models, Dr. Ott and colleagues have previously been able to regenerate kidneys, livers, hearts and lungs, using a detergent solution to strip living cells from the donor organ, which is then repopulated with appropriate progenitor cells.

However, the new study represents the first use of this technique to engineer a bioartificial limb, which is more complex.

Cellular material was stripped from the limbs of dead rats, but nerve matrix was preserved

In deceased rats, the researchers stripped away the cellular material from the animals' forelimbs over the course of 1 week, but preserved the primary vasculature and nerve matrix. This remaining material provided a structure for all of the composite tissues required by the limb.

This forelimb matrix was then populated by cultures of muscle and vascular cells in a bioreactor. The vascular cells were injected into the main artery of the limb, in an effort to regenerate veins and arteries. The progenitor cells, meanwhile, were injected into sheaths in the matrix that define muscle positions.

The limb was electrically stimulated after 5 days to encourage muscle formation. After 2 weeks, the limb was removed from the bioreactor. The researchers found that the electrical stimulation caused the new muscle fibers to contract with a strength that was 80% that of a newborn rat.

When the forelimbs were transplanted into recipient rats, blood quickly began to circulate in the new limb, and when the muscles within the graft were stimulated electrically, the wrists and digital joints of the rats' paws flexed appropriately.

The team also decellularized baboon forearms successfully, which the authors claim confirms the feasibility of using the technique on a scale similar to human patients.

However, the researchers still face the challenge of reintegrating the regrown nerves of a regenerated limb into the recipient's nervous system.

"In clinical limb transplantation, nerves do grow back into the graft, enabling both motion and sensation, and we have learned that this process is largely guided by the nerve matrix within the graft," Dr. Ott says.

Dr. Ott hopes that the same logic will apply to bioartificial grafts. Next, the team will attempt muscle regeneration using human cells, before expanding the process to human bone, cartilage and connective tissue.

10 mini-rituals that can help you fall asleep fast

Didn’t manage to fall asleep and suffered from tiredness the day after? You are not alone. The good news are that doing a few mini-rituals about an hour before bed can help you fall asleep faster.

We spend about third of our lives sleeping, All the researches done in the last decade show that its vital and important to our mental and physical health, thinking process, managing all the things we learned during the day and more. interfering with the sleeping process means a big blow to the quality of your life.

20%-30% of people will suffer from insomnia in some stage of their lives, and the same number will need the help of medicine to sleep properly.

About 5% of the population suffer from moving-leg syndrome while sleeping, more than 7% suffer from sleep apnea, and the number of people suffering from snoring is even higher.

Even though some say its useless to catch up on sleep and complete missing sleeping hours, researches proved that the body actually remembers the shortage. Missing hours of sleep not only cause tiredness in the next day, but high risks for high blood pressure, road accidents and even depression.

What can you do to help you fall asleep faster? Here are the 10 commandments for good sleep:

1. Shorten your time in bed
Be in bed only near sleeping time. If you cant fall asleep – Get out of bed, make yourself busy in a calm activity and only come back to bed when you are ready to sleep.

2. Darken your room
Long and steady sleep, for most of us, requires complete darkness. Be sure to close all of the windows and curtains.

3. Get rid of noise
A ticking clock and a working radio might make falling asleep harder to do. If you can’t overcome the noise from outside, use ear-plugs, close the windows and your bedroom.

4. Avoid exercise before bed
Physical workout raises the adrenaline levels and will make falling asleep a hard task.

5. Eat an early dinner
Give up on heavy meals before bed.

6. Avoid caffeine 4 hours before sleep
Coffee, tea, cola, chocolate and other products with caffeine will prevent you from going into deeper sleep.

7. Give up alcohol late at night
Drinking wine might make you drowsy, but the breakdown products of alcohol have stimulating effect.

8. Keep the same sleeping and waking up hours
Changing these times might disturb you from falling asleep. Many people who sleep in on saturday have trouble falling asleep at night and waking up on sunday.

9. Don’t sleep during the day
Sleeping at noon will postpone the time it takes to fall asleep, will make waking up in the morning much harder and make you feel tired all day long.

10. Be careful of sleeping aid
Most of them will make us depended on them after a long use and will prevent us from falling asleep without them.

12 Interesting Facts About Dogs

You might think that you know all there is to know about your dog, but trust me, there’s a lot you haven’t yet heard. The following are 10 interesting facts about dogs you probably haven’t heard before.

1. The fact that a dog is wagging his tail, doesn’t always mean that he is in a good mood. In fact, it could mean the exact opposite – it might mean that he is about to attack somebody.

2. If you’d live in Iran, the law wouldn’t allow you to have a dog as a pet. Owning a hunting or guard dog, though, is still okay.

3. One can estimate his dog’s life expectancy by viewing the dog’s facial features – dogs with long, sharp faces intend to live longer than those who have a more flat face.

4. Dalmatian puppies are born completely white, the black spots start to appear when they are about three weeks old.

5. While many of healthy human foods are just as good for dogs as they are for us humans, there are a few things we eat that are dangerous for dogs to eat. Even as little as a few grapes or raisins can be lethal for a dog. Nuts, onions, garlic, and anything containing caffeine are also on the top of the list of things you should never feed your dog. Also, while, in moderate quantities, it’s good for dogs to eat apples and other fruits, the seeds of apples and most other fruits contain poisonous cyanide, which is not that harmful for us humans, but in large quantities can be lethal for dogs.

6. Not all dogs can bark. The Basenji – a small hunting dog – is a dog who sings or yodels rather than barks.

7. Dogs do not only have an amazing sense of smell, but they can hear rather well too. In fact, they can hear sounds from up to 4 times farther away than us, and hear some sounds we do not hear at all.

8. There are over 75 million dogs in The United States, and over 400 million dogs in the world. The United States is on the top of the list of countries with most pet dog population, followed by Brazil and China.

9. Greyhounds, the fastest dogs in the world, can run at a speed up to 45 mph.

10. George Washington owned 36 foxhounds at once. It might sound like a lot because it is a lot, but it’s far from a record. The most dogs ever owned by one person were 5000 Mastiffs by Kubla Khan.

11. According to research by animal psychologists, the average dog is as smart as the average two-year-old human child. Dogs can understand up to 250 words and gestures, count up to 5 and perform some basic mathematical calculations. In Moscow, Russia, some stray dogs have even learned to use the subway. In search for food, the stray dogs use the subway to travel from less populated areas to more populated areas.

12. Dogs do not like to be hugged. In fact, while us human take hugging as a sign of affection or love, dogs interpret hugging as a sign of dominance.

This line in the buffet some have, some do not. Here's what it means to love your destiny!

If you care about what you will be romantic, you see a circle of Venus. Learn what means this line from the buffet and what you prepared fate.

Some people in the buffet, under the middle finger and ring finger, form the county line. The region can be closed, so that makes the circle, while there may be many circles. This is called Venus or generation circuit of love, reports Telegraph.

Do not grieve immediately unless you have this line at the buffet, because it also does not bring anything particularly well, but more of marks people who are emotionally sensitive, meaning people who are tend to love problems.

If Venus circuit is closed, ie complete, this means that the person will experience various disappointments in love. If you have this circuit, it is better that they do not take disappointments fatal, but as lectures.

Each must learn some tough lessons in life, your problems are already love character.

If it online is in the form of gjysmëqarkut, then this means that in a period of life the person will love problems, but will not pass and will come out of them.

If there are more regions, this means that the person is simply too emotional and sensitive and can rarely know how to face his sensiblitetin specific.

Coca-Colas effects after 60 minutes in our body

Coca-Cola is a beverage that is considered as very harmful for our body. In a study conducted by Turkish scholar Xhanan Karatay, which highlights the damage that causes a glass of Coca-Cola for 60 minutes.

Researcher has listed some major problems come from the consumption of this drink, such as;

In 10 minutes prior to consummation of drinking, your blood absorbs 10 teaspoon of sugar, an amount 100 times greater than normal measures that our body needs.

In the first 20 minutes, the drink increases the level of sugar in the blood, causing the pancreas to produce more insulin and excess sugar begins to be deposited in the form of fat in the liver.

After 40 minutes, we note that all the caffeine has now entered the market, this is a process that makes us blood pressure rises and more sugar produced by the liver that goes back to the blood and increases the level of sugar.

While after 60 minutes by the time we drink Coca-Cola have created a feeling of hunger. So there is a need of eating and you will again drink Coca-Cola and eat cakes.

Obviously this is a drink which we must be careful if we are to have a healthy body.

For the first time in the world: It skull transplantation

Doctors in Texas have made partial transplants skull and scalp for the first time in the world, helping a man with a large head wound from cancer treatment.

Jim Boysen patient, 55-year-old - is expected to come from the hospital on Thursday, with a new kidney and pancreas, together with the scalp and skull transplanted, REL reports.

He said he was amazed at how the doctors had managed to find an organ donor with similar skin and color.

"It is somewhat shocking, really. I will have more hair than when I was 21 years old ", did Boysen joked in an interview with The Associated Press.

Last year, doctors in the Netherlands said they had replaced most of the skull of a woman with a plastic 3D printer to print.

Texas operation is thought to be the first transplant of a skull from a human donor, compared with an artificial plants are made.

Over the last decade, they are made transplants that were considered impossible to make.

More than 70 hand transplants have been done worldwide.

Last October, a Swedish woman became the world's first born child after a womb transplant.

A host of patients have received transplants or plants from body parts printed by 3D printers.

Lightning aircraft - new aircraft of US war (Video)

This week for the first time in American military participates Exercises "Lockheed Martin" with the F-35 Lightning fighter aircraft (lightning), Which is Another Step in the Development of the program's Biggest Weapons Pentagon Officials have announced US War Aviation.

The exercise Named "Green Flag West" is intended testing of the US military's Ability to participate in air-land Conflicts and to help ground Troops preparing for war.

Three Types of aircraft "F-35 Lightning with variants A, B and C are Designed and developed in" Lockheed Martin "in Texas, Reports 

Some Types of model A, with aircraft Other Weapons Will Also participate in the Exercises.

Gen. Herbert Carlisle, Commander of the air action, Reuters Told That the Exercises are Important BECAUSE of the global real war scenarios.

"It is Extremely Important to spend beyond theory to access dynamic soft ... Which region Changes continuously," Said Carlisle.

He added modus That US aviation aircraft USED previous Exercises Prepared by the sponsors of the F-35, and now is the first time the aircraft BEING USED That "Operational more representative."

Said Carlisle That fighter aircraft works on solving Still Some Problems on the way of Transmission of information to the pilot WHO come from Different radar sensors.

He expects to swear up during Exercises Successful aircraft.

It is Expected That the plans of the US military in July to PUBLISH the order of ten F-35B supersonic ready for use.

F-35 program is worth more than 400 billion dollars.  

Forget the batteries, the handset will soon fill with boiling

Say goodbye to batteries and by filling power. Very soon we will be able to use Wi-Fi to connect to other devices and to have the batteries forever in our mobiles.

You will not need to fill in your phone to send a message and also will not have to stand on a chair to get the best signal.

All these will be part of the past, because American engineers have recently designed a technology that interacts with Wi-Fi signals and turns them into energy. They have created a prototype modem for this job.

During tests, these so-called PoWiFi modems supplied cameras without batteries from five meters away and to do so without interfering with Internet speed line owners.

The technology was first introduced by researchers at Washington University, but the main engineering, Shyam Gollakota, recently demonstrated a prototype Digital EmTech conference.

His team installed a modem PoWiFi in six home and asked the Gods to use the Internet as usual for 24 hours.

Technology makes it possible for two devices to communicate without batteries using wave signals.

PCs powered by radio frequencies are small devices that operate and communicate using the energy received from the radio frequency signals.

Modem used in tests conveyed radio waves which were converted into a direct voltage by using what is known as a 'refiner. This is similar to how solar panels convert light energy into electricity.

A DC-DC converter was then used to increase the voltage level signals to match the requirements of the sensor or microcontroller.

Technology is not the first that uses energy from sources of radio frequency environment, but it is the first that does not require a dedicated gateway to connect to the web.

More specifically, the team reuse the existing infrastructure of Wi-Fi to provide about these low power devices. And as uses radio frequency signals to the environment that are already around us, it does not require a dedicated infrastructure to strengthen power.

Users experimental homes said that they saw no significant change in their Internet experience, during the operation of charging the phone through Wi-Fi.

The researchers explained that the modem can empower a camera without the battery up to five meters away from the modem. Also it reinforced a temperature sensor without batteries.

In the study team called "To empower billions of devices with Wi-Fi", the researchers said, there is a growing interest in the things of the internet, where small sensors and mobile devices are embedded in everyday objects and the environment.

A key issue is how to strengthen these devices as becoming smaller and more numerous. The new system uses energy delivery Wi-Fi chips and minimizes the impact on network performance Wi-Fi.

Scientists claim to have made the first prototype of temperature sensors and cameras without batteries to receive electricity with Wi-Fi. "We also showed the feasibility of filling the wave of mobile phone batteries with nickel metal hybrid and lithium ion", said the scientists.

Over time, the technology could lead to network devices and sensors that send data reflecting the current signals to exchange information without the need for batteries. For example, everyday objects can be used to communicate with each other. Thus, it can be used to help users know where they leave the house keys.

Intelligent sensors can be built and placed permanently in each structure, then they can communicate with each other. This may include a bridge that monitors performance and leading alerts if one of the sensors picked up anything that is wrong.

Last year, researchers tested the technology with prototype equipment to the amount of credit cards placed inside each other. For each device, the researchers built antenna in common circuit boards that provide a light when receiving a communication signal from one device to another.

Groups of devices tested in a variety of configurations in the Seattle area, including an apartment, a street corner and a high-level garage. These locations ranging from one kilometer from a television tower up to 10 kilometers. They functioned thus giving hope to soon be saved from the charger and chips can get new energy for mobile phones and other technological devices through the waves.

DNA discovered biological clock

American scientists have discovered the biological clock based on DNA, which measures the speed of the aging of tissues and organs in our body.

This hour shows that the majority of old tissue with the same speed as the whole body, but there are parts of the body aging more quickly or more slowly. Diseased organs, for example, can be up to ten years "old" rather than sound and organs in the same body.

The team of researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) believes that deciphering the mechanism of work of this ore would enable scientists to better understand the aging process, and thus also come with medicines and therapy new which could slow down aging.

"It would be very interesting if we developed new therapies that will" reset "the clock and keep us younger longer," said team leader Steve Horvath, a professor of genetics and biostatistikës.

In a study published in the journal "Genome Biology", US researchers stressed that they had examined the DNA of 8,000 samples from 51 healthy cells and tissues and cancer. In particular, they analyzed how methylation, a natural process that chemically modifies DNA varies with age.

Horvath and his colleagues concluded that methylation of 353 DNA markers changes continuously during aging, and it can serve as a biological clock.

Flap time soon until the age of 20 years, and then slows down. So far it is not known whether changes in DNA that cause aging or are in fact a consequence of aging.

"The appearance of gray hair is a sign of aging, but no one would say that what causes aging," said Horvath.

Research so far has led to interesting results. Tests on healthy heart tissue showed that there are about nine years "younger", as breast tissue was older than the rest of the body, in an average of two years.

Diseased tissue aging at a different pace. Cancer, for example, the clock speeds by an average of 36 years.

Horvath study also showed that the biological clock can return to zero when the cells of an adult stem cells reprogrammed through.

The conversion process cells, adult stem cells similar, which found John Gurdon of Cambridge University and Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University, was awarded the Nobel Prize last year.

"This concept is evidence that the return back the biological clock is possible," says Horvat, the next step of which is the study of how neurodegenerative and infectious diseases affect the biological clock and vice versa

errifying story of the man who was used to Zoo (PHOTO - Evidence)

There was a shocking period in the history of New York, where a man with black skin, only 1.20cm tall, is kept in a cage at the zoo and used for the purpose of entertainment to visitors.

It is about a man by the name, Ota Benga, born in 1883 with the origin of the Congo.

Ota Benga

In 1904, Ota Benga was displayed in exhibitions of anthropology for purchase in St. Louis (Missouri), and only two years after he was taken to the Bronx Zoo in New York.

Benga then 23 years old, only 1:20 long, and weighed about 45 kg, becoming the youngest occupant of the house of monkeys in the Bronx, New York.

Decorative sign of his tribe in Congo, otas teeth are made sharp (with tip), a feature of the zoo, used to promote it as a wild man.

Without shoes, but with modern clothing, Ota has entertained the crowd of visitors, shooting at a target with his harkën and arrow.

Ota Benga, surrounded by visitors to the Zoo

Visitors to the zoo, have paid twenty-five cents, to see 'an African beast', and on Sundays there was free entry.

Meanwhile the New York Times that his time in front writing; 'Bushman shares a cage with monkeys at the Bronx Park. (Bushmanët recognized as indigenous to southern Africa)

History Bulletin zoological Society, described it as an exotic pet.

In reality, he was not primitive, it was not caveman.He was a human being from a tribe resident in a forest of Congo.

Black clergy, angry with this racism came after a time to close the exhibition.

But even then, Ota's life has not improved.

Shocking story behind Ota's life has researched journalist, Pamela Newkirk, which brings it through the book 'spectacle' - the life story of Ota Benga.

40 thousand people a day, visiting the zoo Ota'n

It's September 1906, men and women beautifully dressed, getting ready for fun, visiting the zoo, where to get to the place where Ota held, should be passed in a narrow corridor, dark, sweet excrements monkeys, all of this to watch a black man çokollade, wearing white trousers and a dark coat, zeri.info broadcasts.

Entry to the Bronx Zoo - New York

This little man weighing about 45 kg, with dark skin, small eyes and sharp teeth, was turned into an entertainment for thousands of people.

The director of the zoo, William Temple Hornaday, had created the style of the show, believing that Ota is one step ahead with other tenants monkeys in this mansion.

According to research journalist, Pamela Newkirk, Ota'n visited in his cage, complete 40 thousand people in one day.

But with hundreds of guests, pushing each other to catch the best place, where best seen Ota, who before them playing with a parrot, or throwing an arrow at a target, or showing other skills, all these within a cage.

The visitors bring along the kids to see the little man, and together children, men and women laughing Ota'n that their sight was a "monkey man.

But who stands behind the painful history of Ota's, who put it in the cage with monkeys?

Ota Benga

Terrible businessman, who turned Ota'n in a 'monkey'

Samuel Phillips Verner, an explorer, but also a false businessman, was the person who had taken Ota'n of Congo and brought to America.

Werner goal was to be of substantial objects of art, the museum of America.

So Werner had asked for a donation to travel to Africa.

He had invented a number of stories about how he had acquired Ota'n, but one remained more stable histories of all its versions.

Werner stated that; 'Occupation of Belgian King Leopold II of Congo, had made the Benga community and most of Africans in 1885, to return prisoners to self-called' American researcher.

In one case, Werner stated that he has saved many people Benga community, which according to him are kept connected, while expected to become food for the tribe of cannibals Baschilele.

Samuel Philips Verner

There are many versions, but what is known is that his goal was to bring Ota'n in America, and be paid by the organizers of the World's Fair held in St. Louis in 1904.

"During the reign of Leopold II wild, between the period 1885 and 1905, ten million or more population Benga community are systematically killed, millions were enslaved, tortured, while resources are plundered the riches of the country," wrote journalist , Newkirk.

Leopold regime atrocities were originally discovered by George Washington Williams, a black minister, elected to the Ohio state legislature.

He had visited the Congo, and watched the atrocities made by Leopold's regime.

Leopold said it is building schools and other services for the population, but it was Williams who had discovered that in reality there was going a 'slave trade', and if someone refused orders Leopold, that person is sentenced to the most horrible persecutions .

Before being killed, people copëtoheshin, i'u chop off the hands, feet, and burned their huts.

Williams described Leopold's atrocities as crimes against humanity.

Leopold II

Ota's tragic conclusion, but to save his soul

Finally, international anger brought about the end of Leopold's, at the end of 1908, but the damage was already done. I'u Congo were raped all natural resources together with the population.

In this case, the Ota Benga, had no where to turn, no home, no family. People from his tribe, were either killed or displaced through the jungle.

The director of the zoo, William Temple Hornaday, tired of the negative publicity that was already set up, decided to send Ota'n in an asylum center, where he is learning how to feed and speak in English.

William Temple Hornaday

Ota'n finally decides to take the care a family from Virginia.

With children of this family Ota fun playing and show them things they had learned when he lived in Central Africa, but he was already spiritually broken.

Unable to return to the Congo, where no one was there to wait, in March of 1916, Ota, decides to end his life by throwing himself with a bullet to the heart.

"And so he finally was released.

Ota is buried in an unknown grave in Lynchburg.

"It seems the saga of degradation of one man - a shocking and shameful spectacle - and a closer inspection this is also the story of an era, the science, the men and elite institutions, and racial ideologies ', writes Newkirk.
