In this paradigm-shifting book from acclaimed Harvard Medical School doctor and one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people on earth, Dr. David Sinclair reveals that everything we think we know about ageing is wrong, and shares the surprising, scientifically-proven methods that can help readers live younger, longer. For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases. That's because ageing is not a disease - it is inevitable. But what if everything you think you know about ageing is wrong? What if ageing is a disease? And that disease is curable. In LIFESPAN, Dr. David Sinclair, one of the world's foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that. He has dedicated his life's work to chasing more than a longer lifespan - he wants to enable people to live longer, healthier, and disease-free well into our hundreds. In this book, he reveals a bold new theory of ageing, one that pinpoints a root cause of ageing that lies in an ancient genetic survival circuit. This genetic trick - a circuit designed to halt reproduction in order to repair damage to the genome -has enabled earth's early microcosms to survive and evolve into more advanced organisms. But this same survival circuit is the reason we age: as genetic damage accumulates over our lifespans from UV rays, environmental toxins, and unhealthy diets, our genome is overwhelmed, causing gray hair, wrinkles, achy joints, heart issues, dementia, and, ultimately, death. But genes aren't our destiny; we have more control over them than we've been taught to believe. We can't change our DNA, but we can harness the power of the epigenome to realise the true potential of our genes. Drawing on his cutting-edge findings at the forefront of medical research, Dr. Sinclair will provide a scientifically-proven roadmap to reverse the genetic clock by activating our vitality genes, so we c

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. 'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and with nearly 140 million peopleaccounts for approximately one-fifth of the continent's population. Although less than25 per cent of Nigerians are urban dwellers, at least 24 cities have populations of morethan 100,000.

"The end times." "The apocalypse." "The day of judgment." Terms such as these are both fascinating and frightening for any student of God's Word. They point to key questions people have wrestled with for centuries, including: What does the Bible tell us about the future?How much can we understand about biblical prophecy and its application in our lives?What signs and signals will precede the end of everything as we know it?Which of those signs and signals have already come to pass, which are we experiencing now, and which are still to come?In this landmark collection, bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah offers answers to these questions and much more. Drawing from decades of experience as one of the world's most-respected Bible teachers, Dr. Jeremiah has updated content from previously published works in additional to writing new material on a wide variety of subjects.The result is a truly epic and authoritative guide to biblical prophecy--a must-have resource for Christians seeking to navigate the uncertainties of the present and embrace God's promises for the future.

Reliability, Maintainability and Risk: Practical Methods for Engineers, Eighth Edition, discusses tools and techniques for reliable and safe engineering, and for optimizing maintenance strategies. It emphasizes the importance of using reliability techniques to identify and eliminate potential failures early in the design cycle. The focus is on techniques known as RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety-integrity). The book is organized into five parts. Part 1 on reliability parameters and costs traces the history of reliability and safety technology and presents a cost-effective approach to quality, reliability, and safety. Part 2 deals with the interpretation of failure rates, while Part 3 focuses on the prediction of reliability and risk. Part 4 discusses design and assurance techniques; review and testing techniques; reliability growth modeling; field data collection and feedback; predicting and demonstrating repair times; quantified reliability maintenance; and systematic failures. Part 5 deals with legal, management and safety issues, such as project management, product liability, and safety legislation. 8th edition of this core reference for engineers who deal with the design or operation of any safety critical systems, processes or operations Answers the question: how can a defect that costs less than $1000 dollars to identify at the process design stage be prevented from escalating to a $100,000 field defect, or a $1m+ catastrophe Revised throughout, with new examples, and standards, including must have material on the new edition of global functional safety standard IEC 61508, which launches in 2010

Spårelement kan kallas livets tändstift då de behövs för att starta igång hundratals olika enzymreaktioner i kroppen. Mineraler är viktigare än vitaminer. Växter tillverkar vitaminer, medan mineralerna i växterna måste komma från jorden där de växer. Livet är beroende av kroppens möjlighet att utvinna dessa mineraler från växterna och också kunna tillgodogöra sig dem.Mineraler hjälper inte bara till att forma våra kroppar utan även våra sinnen. Om vårt skelett förlorar alltför mycket kalcium kan vår kropp böjas och vittra sönder. Om vår kropp ackumulerar alltför mycket järn kan det hända att man blir arg, aggressiv och fientlig.Mineraler kan ha dubbel effekt. De kan vara välgörande för en person men ha rakt motsatt effekt för en annan. Detta beror till stor del på vilken metabol typ du är. Till exempel:• Kalciumtillskott eller kost med högt kalciuminnehåll kan hjälpa till att förebygga osteporos hos en person, men faktiskt bidra till sköra ben hos en annan.• Zink kan hjälpa till att bekämpa virus, men alltför mycket kan istället bidra till bakterieinfektioner.• Även om koppar är livsnödvändigt för oss kan för mycket orsaka depression, vikt uppgång, PMS och frontal huvudvärk.• Järn är nödvändigt för att förhindra anemi, men för mycket kan orsaka en annan typ av anemi samt bidra till migrän, artrit och cancer.Att ta fel kosttillskott, äta fel sorts kost, stress, läkemedelsintag samt föroreningar kan orsaka mineralobalanser.Brist eller överskott kan också vara ärftligt. Idag behöver man ta näringsstatus i beaktande, inte bara vad en person kan tänkas behöva utan också beakta balansen mellan olika mineraler i kroppen för att få till stånd en normal biokemisk balans i kroppen.David L Watts, D.C., Ph.D., F.A.C.E.P.Dr Watts har varit involverad i klinisk näringslära i över 20 år. Under de senaste 18 åren har hans forskning varit fokuserad på studier av mineralmönster som hittats i mänskligt hår. Efter att ha granskat över 200000 vävnadsmineralprofiler har han identifierat förhållanden mellan mineraler, vitaminer och det neuroendokrina systemet. Han har vidare klassificerat vitaminer, mineraler, örter, mat, vatten och läkemedel i kategorier enligt deras metabola effekter. Hans forskning har lett till utvecklingen av individuella vävnadsmineralmönster som kopplas till olika sjukdomstrender, metabola typer och även känslomässiga mönster. Dr Watts har skrivit över 50 vetenskapliga publikationer och han bjuds in att föreläsa internationellt. Han tillhandahåller näringsmässiga utvärderingar och konsultationer för sjuk och hälsovårdspersonal över hela världen samtidigt som han innehar posten som forskningschef för Trace Elements, Inc., ett statligt licensierat kliniskt laboratorium i USA.
