TATTOO YOUR CELL PHONE ONTO YOUR SKIN

One of the greatest challenges for humanity has always been the inevitability of deteriorating health, the aging process and of death being the final outcome. Many have searched for the proverbial fountain of youth and all have failed, until now.
Forever is a process by which the physical age of living animals can be reversed.
It makes death as a result of aging a thing of the past and is a breakthrough in health a million times more effective than most any other treatment.
Forever makes sustained life possible and opens up the reality of extended space exploration and colonization.
Fifty per cent of the solution is capturing the real problem.
Upon observation, new cells get created through two means, mitosis and through the actions of the pituitary gland.
Mitosis involves existing cells and cell division.
The pituitary secretes hormones that actually create new living cells.
Upon obeservation cells die through two means, due to a limit on the number of times a cell can divide called Hayflicks Limit and they also die due to environmental means such as physical damage, toxins, and disease.
Since the pituitary becomes less active in producing new cells as we age and since more and more cells reach their cell reproduction limit it can be observed that the cell population of living cells decreases over time.
It can also be observed that we age over time.
Three questions arise from this:
1…Is there a correlation between a decrease in cell population and the fact that we age?
2…Can we test it or prove that such a correlation exists?
3…If it proves that there is a correlation can we produce a product or process to reverse aging that is doable and practical?
If you wanted to test the above hypothesis, if you could inhibit or stop new cell growth in some way where the result was an increased aging rate then you could say this hypotheseis was accurate.
God has already done the test; See photo below. The picture is of John Tacket, 15, of Bay City,Michegan. The disease he has is called Progeria which is rapid aging.
Most children who have it do not live past thirteen years and have bodies that are phsically in their 90’s.
It has been identified that progeria is caused by a particular gene. Doctors know to look for that gene when a child is born because the baby is underweight as this gene inhibits cell growth!
We are alive because of living cells. No living cells, no life.
When we are born we are being turned into corpses as the amount of living cells decrease.
The soltion is to increase the living cell population and is as follows:
a) Take out healthy living cells
b) Extend the length of tails(telomeres) on these cells.(Hayflicks Limit only exists due to the shortening of these
c) Make thousands of copies
d) Reintroduce these new cells back into the doner
e)Repeat a-c on other cells. See diagram #2 for outline.

Nabesei Co Ltd, a company specializing in electronic parts, exhibited plants grown under LED lights in three different colors at an exhibition that took place from April 15 to 17, 2009, in Tokyo.
Plants of the same size were continuously irradiated with light from a lighting device equipped with 630nm red LEDs, a device with 430nm blue LEDs and a pink-colored LED light composed of half red LEDs and half blue LEDs.
After three weeks of irradiation, the growths of the plants were compared with one another. As a result, it was discovered that the pink LED light most effectively promotes the growth of plants, the company said.
According to Nabesei, plants do not need all wavelengths in the visible light range for their growth, but they absorb light with certain wavelengths to grow. For example, when they perform photosynthesis or come into bloom, red light around a wavelength of 660nm, which is the absorption peak for chlorophyll, promotes the growth. Meanwhile, when the plants form flower buds, blue light around a wavelength of 450nm promotes the growth.
When comparing the plants under the three kinds of light, those under the red LED light grew slower than others and were smaller as a whole. The plants under the blue LED light had fewer leaves and were spindly on the whole. On the other hand, the plants under the pink LED light had larger leaves and had generally grown in a more balanced way.
However, the wavelength ranges that affect the growth of plants are slightly different depending on the plant type. Therefore, field tests to evaluate the irradiation time and other issues should be conducted at agricultural experiment stations from now on, Nabesei said.
INCANDESCENT LIGHT GLOBE
In line with the ban on the sale of incandescent bulbs in 2012, the company plans to focus on the application of LEDs to illumination equipment for growing chrysanthemums. The irradiation of red LED light can delay the formation of buds on chrysanthemums. Moreover, LED light keeps bugs away because the LED emission spectrum is deviated from the bugs’ visibility curve.
In addition, Nabesei exhibited a completely watertight LED light in a tank. The product is also available in a bendable type, which is suitable for interior lighting and plant cultivation requiring water sprinkling, the company said.

Japanese researchers prototyped a memory system that can store large volumes of data for more than a thousand years.
The system, “Digital Rosetta Stone (DRS),” was announced June 16, 2009, by Keio University, Sharp Corp and Kyoto University at the 2009 Symposium on VLSI Circuits, which is taking place in Kyoto, Japan (lecture number: C3-3). They stacked wafers mounted with mask ROM and packaged it with SiO2. Power supply and signal communication are conducted by wireless.
To store various cultural heritage that has so far been created by mankind as digital information and hand it down to posterity, it is necessary to develop a memory system that can store data for more than a thousand years and has a capacity of 1 Tbit or more and a data access speed of 100Mbps or more, according to the researchers.
In the case of HDDs, data could be lost in four to 40 years due to the influence of magnetic field. And data stored in an optical disc could be lost in 30 to 100 years when affected by oxygen or moisture. On the other hand, semiconductor devices can keep data intact for a thousand years or more if the humidity around the chip is kept at 2% or less.
Thus, the researchers proposed the idea of saving data on the mask ROM with electron-beam direct-writing technology, stocking the wafers and packaging them with SiO2 to form a “slate.” When a wafer (reader) for reading data is attached to the slate, it becomes possible to supply power and communicate signals by wireless.
If four 15-inch wafers made by using 45nm CMOS technology are stacked, the memory capacity will be 2.5 Tbits.
This time, the researchers utilized 0.18?m CMOS technology and prototyped test chips corresponding to the slate and the reader. The size of the test chips is 5 x 5mm. The diameter of the inductor is 2mm for power supply and 0.4mm for data communication. And the capacity of the mask ROM is 1 Mbit.
They succeeded in providing 56mW power to the slate by four-channel wireless transmission when the distance between the slate and the reader is 0.2mm. By this method, a data transmission speed of 150Mbps can be realized.

The Imax cameras will be used to document what the National Aeronautics and Space Administration calls one of its most complex space shuttle operations — the final servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope.
“The cameras will launch aboard space shuttle Atlantis, which is scheduled to lift off May 11,” NASA said. “Astronauts will use the cameras to film five spacewalks needed to repair and upgrade Hubble.
Officials said the footage will be used in the movie “Hubble 3D” that is scheduled for release in the spring of 2010.
The Atlantis’ crew has been trained to operate the cameras, one of which will be mounted outside the crew cabin in the shuttle’s cargo bay to capture images of the historic final servicing mission. The commander and pilot will double as filmmakers as two teams of spacewalking astronauts “perform some of the most challenging work ever undertaken in space as they replace and refurbish many of the telescope’s precision instruments,” the space agency said.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPI) — A U.S. researcher says he has developed a test that suggests fish can feel pain and they react to it much as do humans.
Purdue University Assistant Professor Joseph Garner and Janicke Nordgreen, a doctoral student in the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, attached small foil heaters to goldfish and slowly increased the temperature.
Half of the fish were injected with morphine, and the others received saline. The researchers believed those with the morphine would be able to withstand higher temperatures before reacting if they actually felt pain. However, both groups of fish showed a response at about the same temperature.
But later observed in their home tanks, the researchers noticed fish from each group were exhibiting different behaviors.
“The fish given the morphine acted like they always had: swimming and being fish,” Garner said. “The fish that had gotten saline — even though they responded the same in the test — later acted different, though. They acted with defensive behaviors, indicating wariness, or fear and anxiety.”
Nordgreen said those behavioral differences showed fish can feel both reflexive and cognitive pain.
The scientists said their findings could raise questions about slaughter methods and standards of care could be revisited to ensure fish are being treated humanely.
A paper detailing the finding appears in the early online issue of the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science.

April 16, 1972
From Cape Canaveral, Florida, Apollo 16, the fifth of six U.S. lunar landing missions, is successfully launched on its 238,000-mile journey to the moon. On April 20, astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke descended to the lunar surface from Apollo 16, which remained in orbit around the moon with a third astronaut, Thomas K. Mattingly, in command. Young and Duke remained on the moon for nearly three days, and spent more than 20 hours exploring the surface of Earth’s only satellite. The two astronauts used the Lunar Rover vehicle to collect more than 200 pounds of rock before returning to Apollo 16 on April 23. Four days later, the three astronauts returned to Earth, safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.

LASER BRINGS INTERNET
MELBOURNE (UPI) — Australian researchers say they are experimenting with lasers as a way to boost the reach of existing high-speed Internet service to make it accessable to large rural areas.
Ka Lun Lee and colleagues at the University of Melbourne say high-speed digital subscriber line or cable Internet service is too expensive to use in rural areas, since they require extensive networks of equipment and lines. Other technologies, such as satellite and fixed wireless, offer wider coverage but are often unreliable and expensive.
amplify the signal
The researchers found gigabit passive optical networks provide the lowest cost at higher bitrates. But Lee said the reach of that technology into rural areas is limited by the loss in signal strength along the optical fibre, with each line only capable of radiating approximately 19 miles from a central office.
To boost that reach, Lee and his team use a device called a ‘Raman amplifier’. Installed in the central office of a network provider, the high-powered laser feeds the optical signals that carry information as it heads out over a fibre. That, said Lee, increases the power and reach of the signal by a factor of nearly 10 times.
fibre optic cable
The scientists will present their research shortly in San Diego during the Optical Fibre Communication Conference and Exposition/National Fibre Optic Engineers Conference.
