Age Defying Cosmetics

As a woman ages, a main concern is often her appearance. There is no denying that the world caters to younger woman and as a person matures she can face scrutiny for her looks. Career opportunities, relationships and even self-esteem can all suffer if a woman feels negatively about her own appearance. For that reason, more and more women are turning to age defying make-up to give them that much needed boost.

Organic Age Defying Ingredients

Many mainstream beauty products and skincare lines contain ingredients that are not only ineffective but downright harmful.

1. Azalaic Acid

   Azelaic Acid is a natural trigger for the release of salycilic acid, which is an anti-inflammatory component of a plant’s defensive response to infection. This is the ingredient to look for if you’re seeking relief from melasma, age spots, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, or acne.
   In rare cases women have reported facial hair growth so just be aware.

2. Hyaluronic Acid

   Your body naturally produces hyaluronic acid and uses it as a lubricant for your joints and connective tissues. As you age, you stop producing as much of it. One of the beautiful things about this substance is its ability to hold up to 1000x its weight in water.
   Doctors also prescribe it as a scar inhibitor or reducer and a healing aid for skin injuries or traumas so hyaluronic acid is something that you should make sure is in your moisturizers and lotions. Follow this link to find products that contain hyaluronic acid.

3. Vitamin C

   We’ve discussed the function of collagen and why it’s important in order to keep your face firm and wrinkle free. If you remember, we also talked about the fact that your body slows down production of it as you age which causes wrinkles, sagging, and fine lines to appear with a vengeance.
   Vitamin C is an essential component to the synthesis of collagen. Not only is it a powerful anti-oxidant when taken orally, it also helps your skin stay young looking when you apply it topically. Antioxidants are also amazing for preventing and reversing the damage caused by free radicals, so by adding C, you’re getting twice the bang for your buck.

4. Rose Hip Oil

   Rich in Retinol, Omega 3’s and Vitamin C, rose hip oil is really good for softening your skin and reducing sun damage. It also helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, even out tone and reduce scarring. Because it is an oil, people prone to acne may want to use with caution.

5. Green and White Tea Extracts

    Both green and white tea extracts contain polyphenols, flavenols and EGCG, which is an extremely potent antioxidant. As a matter of fact, there are several studies that show that EGCG actually stimulates dying cells into new activity.
   Tea extracts don’t penetrate further than your top layer of skin, but that’s where all of the damage and signs of aging appear anyway. In addition, EGCG may also protect you from skin cancer caused by sun damage, as well as preventing sun damage caused by UVB rays to begin with.

6. Shea Butter

   She butter is an awesome, natural moisturizer as well as an anti-inflammatory. It also protects you from sun damage.
   Extracted from the nut of the African shea trea, shea butter is safe to eat and is sometimes used as a replacement for cocoa butter in chocolate, though the tastes are way different. Found in lotions, soaps, hair conditioners, and other cosmetics, it’s an ingredient to look for if you need moisturizing and emollient properties in your products.

7. Grapeseed Oil

   Not only is grapeseed oil packed with antioxidants that can help fight free radicals and prevent damage, it’s also a great moisturizer that keeps your skin from drying out. When your skin is supple and moist, it’s better able to retain vitamins and nutrients necessary for health and a youthful appearance.

8. Phytessence Wakame

   One of the most commonly eaten sea kelps in Japan, phytessence wakame is hitting the anti-aging scene like a rock star. Why though? Because it’s stuffed full of antioxidants, anti-allergic properties and anti-inflammatories.
   As if that’s not enough, it also possesses anti-carcinogenic and anti-allergic qualities and inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase, one of the enzymes that breaks down hyaluronic acid, that miracle lube that we discussed earlier.
   Traditionally, phytessence wakame is part of the Japanese diet and is the most eaten kelp of all of those available but recently the amazing qualities of this sea weed have become more widely popular. Because of this, manufacturers have found ways to covert the kelp into dietary supplement and cosmetic additives without losing the qualities.

9. Alpha Lipoic Acid

   Unlike its sister antioxidants vitamins C and E, alpha lipoic acid is soluble in both water and fat. This means that it’s usable throughout the body. It’s actually created by your body and is used to turn glucose into energy. It’s also pretty amazing at fighting free radicals, which protects your skin from wrinkles and is easily absorbed by your skin.

10. DMAE

    DMAE, or dimethylaminoethanol, is a naturally occurring substance in your body that is an important part of cell membranes. It also facilitates the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Used in studies, it’s been shown to decrease the age-related decline in mental function and memory. Another interesting side effect, and one that’s most relevant, is that it also reduces the accumulation of flipofuscin (a cellular pigment made up of chunks of molecular waste) deposits inside cells.

Age Defying Foods

Protect yourself inside and out with antioxidants, fiber and other health-protecting goodies found in these ten foods.

While there’s no magic food to melt the years away, a poor diet can take its toll on your body. Protect yourself inside and out with antioxidants, fiber and other health-protecting goodies found in these ten foods.

1.    Fish Rich in Omega-3 
Your skin, eyes, brain and heart will all benefit from this essential fatty acid. Found in salmon, sardines and tuna, try to eat at least one serving a week.

Get more info on mercury and sustainable fish choices; try the Salmon With Lemon, Capers and Rosemary in the photo above.

2.    Peppers
Vitamin C is vital for the formation of collagen, which gives skin elasticity. Citrus is the common source but a fresh pepper has over 250 percent of the daily recommendation.

3.    Tea
Providing both fluid and cell-protecting antioxidants, brewed cups of green and black varieties have more antioxidants than many fruits and veggies.

4.    Berries
Berries contain some of the most potent sources of antioxidants around. Anthocyanins in particular help fight inflammation and protect the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

5.    Almonds
A powerful antioxidant, the vitamin E found in nuts like almonds defend respiratory tissue from damage.

6.    Yogurt
The healthy bacteria (a.k.a. probiotics) found in yogurt will keep your digestive system in tip-top shape. Each calcium-filled serving will also benefit your bones.

7.    Water
You can’t go wrong with H2O. Good hydration will protect against skin damage, reduce bloating and water retention and naturally remove toxins from the body.

How much water should you drink each day?

8.    Beans
Eat a rainbow of different colored beans to reap the benefits. Red beans like pinto and kidney rank highest in the antioxidant department.

9.    Apples
Keep the doctor away with two kinds of fiber plus the inflammation-fighting and heart-protecting antioxidant called quercetin.

10.    Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Healthy fats for your heart, plus plant compounds that protect the cells from damage and some types of cancer. Full-flavored EVOO contains the most antioxidants.

Magnetic Levitation

Magnetic levitation, maglev, or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational acceleration and any other accelerations.

The two primary issues involved in magnetic levitation are lifting forces: providing an upward force sufficient to counteract gravity, and stability: ensuring that the system does not spontaneously slide or flip into a configuration where the lift is neutralized.

                                                                                                                 

-Magnetic Levitation could shape the future

• Floating Cities

Our planet can be a crowded, polluted, crazy place. But a new design concept proposes that we rise above it all, literally, by moving to a magnetically levitated island in the sky, complete with green forests, mountains, and urban centers. The concept, called Heaven and Earth, was created by Chinese architect Wei Zhao and won an honorable mention in eVolo's 2012 Skyscraper Competition. Zhao has proposed that the massive donut-shaped platform could hold magnets on its underside that would repulse the earth's magnetic field to hold the island aloft. The floating platform would rotate, generating energy as it spins and theoretically fueling a completely sustainable society. Unfortunately, like most utopias, this idea is likely to remain a pie in the sky.

• Super-High-Speed Rail

Regular high-speed trains can travel at up to 180 miles per hour, but they generate enormous amounts of friction and heat as they screech down the rails, leading to mechanical wear and energy loss. By contrast, maglev trains reach speeds faster than 300 miles per hour while hovering a few inches above the rail. By eliminating friction, maglev trains use less energy and can significantly reduce costs. For example, while every high-speed rail passenger pays one dollar for each mile traveled, maglev passengers could pay as little as 5 cents per mile, says James Powell, director of the company Maglev 2000 and a co-inventor of superconducting maglev trains.

• Space Launch System

For years, NASA has been researching the possibility of using the high speeds of maglev transportation to fling spacecraft into low Earth orbit. "It would really open up space to human exploration and commercialization," Powell says. "It's something we can't do now because it's too expensive."

• Efficient Wind Power

Standard wind turbines convert only 1 percent of wind energy into usable power, and part of that glaring inefficiency stems from the loss of energy due to friction as the turbine spins. Researchers at the Guangzhou Energy Research Institute have estimated that magnetically levitated turbines could boost wind energy generation by as much as 20 percent over traditional turbines.

• Magnetic Bearings

Magnetic levitation isn't just for far-out technologies; it's already being used in down-to-earth applications. Industrial equipment such as pumps, generators, motors, and compressors use levitation to support moving machinery without physical contact. The same bearings used to support maglev trains are used in electric power generation, petroleum refining, machine-tool operation, and natural gas pipelines.

• Flying Cars

It's not exactly what The Jetsons led us to expect, but SkyTran pods promise to bring maglev transportation to the skies. Each private pod, suspended from an elevated guideway, could carry three passengers and would use maglev technology to reach speeds of up to 150 mph. Theoretically, SkyTran could bring passengers anywhere they wanted to go along the route of the guideway, without making unnecessary stops for other passengers. The system could work using technology that is already available, and claims to be able to eliminate congestion while reducing carbon-dioxide emissions and dependence on foreign oil.

-Magnetic levitation might be a complicated part of science but scientist is now studying in advance about magnetic levitation because who knows that Magnetic levitation could shape our future for transportation, lifestyle, and even surviving the upcoming calamities of this world.   

Mars Crew Voyage

Mars Crew Voyage is a mission to Mars to study more about mars, science fiction and to learn the hidden secrets of planet mars.

A human mission to Mars has been the subject of science fiction, engineering, and scientific proposals since the 19th century. The plans comprise proposals to land on Mars, eventually settling on and terraforming the planet, while utilizing its moons, Phobos and Deimos.

Ares Mission to Mars

Initially, the Ares V would have launched the Earth Departure Stage and Altair lunar lander had NASA returned to the Moon, which was planned for 2019, but would also have served as the principal launcher for missions beyond the Earth-Moon system, including the program's ultimate goal, a manned mission to Mars after 2030.The unmanned Ares V would complement the smaller, andhuman-rated Ares I rocket for the launching of the 4–6 person Orion spacecraft. Both rockets, deemed safer than the then-current Space Shuttle, would have utilized technologies developed for the Apollo program, the Shuttle, and the Delta IV EELV programs.However, the Constellation program, including Ares V and Ares I was canceled in October 2010 by the passage of the NASA Authorization Act. In September 2011 NASA detailed the Space Launch System as its new vehicle for human exploration beyond Earth's orbit.

Mars One Mission

Mars One is an organization based in the Netherlands that has proposed to land the first humans on Mars and establish a permanent human colony there by 2024.The private spaceflight project is led by Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp, who announced the Mars One project in May 2012.The project's schedule, technical and financial feasibility, as well as ethics, have been criticized by scientists, engineers and those in the aerospace industry

 Aim of Mars One

-Mars One aims to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars. Several unmanned missions will be completed, establishing a habitable settlement before carefully selected and trained crews will depart to Mars. Funding and implementing this plan will not be easy, it will be hard. The Mars One team, with its advisers and with established aerospace companies, will evaluate and mitigate risks and identify and overcome difficulties step by step. Mars One is a global initiative whose goal is to make this everyone’s mission to Mars, including yours. If we all work together, we can do this. We’re going to Mars. 

Ephedrine

-Ephedrine is a medication used to prevent low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia. It has also been used for asthma,narcolepsy, and obesity but is not the preferred treatment. It can be taken by mouth or by injection into a muscle, vein, or just under the skin.

 Onset with intravenous use is fast, while injection into a muscle can take 20 minutes, and by mouth can take an hour for effect. When given by injection it lasts about an hour and when taken by mouth it can last up to four hours.

Side effects

-Common side effects include trouble sleeping, anxiety, headache, hallucinations, high blood pressure, fast heart rate, loss of appetite, and inability to urinate. Serious side effects include stroke, heart attack, and abuse. While likely safe in pregnancy its use in this population is poorly studied. Use during breastfeeding is not recommended. Ephedrine works by turning on α and βadrenergic receptors.

Sources of Ephedrine

Agricultural                                                                                                     

Ephedrine is obtained from the plant Ephedra sinica and other members of the Ephedra genus. Raw materials for the manufacture of ephedrine and traditional Chinese medicines are produced in China on a large scale. As of 2007, companies produced for export US$13 million worth of ephedrine from 30,000 tons of ephedra annually, 10 times the amount used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Synthetic

Most of the l-ephedrine produced today for official medical use is made synthetically as the extraction and isolation process from E. sinica is tedious and no longer cost effective.

Biosyntheti

Ephedrine was long thought to come from modifying the amino acid L-phenylalanine.L-Phenylalanine would be decarboxylated and subsequently attacked with ω-aminoacetophenone. Methylation of this product would then produce ephedrine. This pathway has since been disproven.A new pathway proposed suggests that phenylalanine first forms cinnamoyl-CoA via the enzymes phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and acyl CoA ligase. The cinnamoyl-CoA is then reacted with a hydratase to attach the alcohol functional group. The product is then reacted with a retro-aldolase, forming benzaldehyde. Benzaldehyde reacts with pyruvic acid to attach a 2 carbon unit. This product then undergoes transamination and methylation to form ephedrine and its stereoisomer, pseudoephedrine.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

 (LEED)

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is basically a third-party certification program. It is a nationally accepted organization for design, operation and construction of high performance green buildings.

 -Its an ecology-oriented building certification program run under the auspices of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

 it includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods that aims to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.

Building designs

 

-This are examples of LEED building design, they really designed them like to be like a environmentally friendly to look at.

Kapanadze Generator

A Georgia Republic inventor, Tariel Kapanadze, claims to have invented a 5 kilowatt free energy generator. the device appears to produce copious amounts of energy from no visible source.

-The components apparently include a radiator buried in the ground, a wire to a water pipe, a Tesla coil/joule thief, a spark gap, transformer, capacitors, 5 ferrite cores from old TV HV transformers, and some other unidentified components.

 Electricity is produced out of nothing. The proof is out, however, because Kapanadze are not reveals its secret for eternal engine. He trusts no one, for fear of being ripped off. True or fanciful? Has Kapanadze our energy problem in his back yard already solved? One thing is clear - the Georgians celebrate their creativity. No wonder, even 7,000 years ago they were the first poured the human truth. And who knows, maybe they give it soon probably most amazing invention of the millennium: infinite energy.

Radio telescope

A radio telescope is a specialized antenna and radio receiver used to receive radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky in radio astronomy.

an instrument used to detect radio emissions from the sky, whether from natural celestial objects or from artificial satellites.

 -just as optical telescopes are the main observing instrument used in traditional optical astronomy which studies the light wave portion of the spectrum coming from astronomical objects. Radio telescopes are typically large parabolic ("dish") antennas similar to those employed in tracking and communicating withsatellites and space probes. They may be used singly, or linked together electronically in an array.

-The first radio antenna used to identify an astronomical radio source was one built by Karl Guthe Jansky, an engineer with Bell Telephone Laboratories, in 1932. Jansky was assigned the job of identifying sources of static that might interfere with radio telephone service. Jansky's antenna was an array of dipoles and reflectors designed to receive short wave radio signals at a frequency of 20.5 MHz (wavelength about 14.6 meters). It was mounted on a turntable that allowed it to rotate in any direction, earning it the name "Jansky's merry-go-round". It had a diameter of approximately 100 ft (30 m) and stood 20 ft (6 m) tall. By rotating the antenna, the direction of the received interfering radio source (static) could be pinpointed.

                              

Stem Cells Cloning

-scientists have cloned stem cells from human skin and egg cells. This is significant because the process could eventually be used to produce organs or other parts that are genetically identical to the patient's own, and therefore, pose no risk of rejection when transplanted.

Stem cells are primitive, unspecialized cells. A 5-day-old human embryo, called a blastocyst, contains an inner cell mass composed of about 12 embryonic stem cells.

Cloning can be used to produce a supply of unspecialized stem cells that can be induced to grow into various types of body cells.

The stem cells can be induced to differentiate into different types of cells as needed (heart, nerve, muscle, etc.). These cells are genetically identical to the patient's own cells (that is, they are cloned).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases, MRI gives different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan.

Importance of MRI

MRI imaging provides a unique view into the interior of the human body and has become an essential tool of modern medical imaging and disease diagnosis. In many cases, MRI provides important diagnostic information that cannot be obtained with other imaging techniques.

MRI is particularly useful for:

• Examining the brain, neck and spinal cord
• Identifying bone and joint damage
• Revealing brain abnormalities in people with Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia
• Helping with the diagnosis of central nervous system disorders, like multiple sclerosis and strokes
• Detecting breast cancer and damage to soft tissues
• Evaluating blood vessels to detect areas of blockage

MRI has proven itself as an invaluable tool for the last 20 years, and Main Line Health Imaging radiologists are confident that advancing technology will find new applications for this important diagnostic resource.

 

Hybrid Cars

A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine+electric motor, in diesel-electric trains using diesel engines and electricity from overhead lines, and submarines that use diesels when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid, in hydraulic hybrids.  

This vehicles is newly advance cars it is designed not just for a good ride, fuel efficient but also a eco-friendly vehicle that doesn't run on Gas, This vehicles are engineered and designed to run using just electricity. 

Parts of a Hybrid Vehicle

Battery-A hybrid car battery is like any other battery—except that it is rechargeable and has enough juice to move a large heavy vehicle down the road for a few feet or a few miles.

Generator-Free-piston engines could be used to generate electricity as efficiently as, and less expensively than, fuel cells. It Generates electricity to the engine of a hybrid vehicle.

Power Split Device-The power split device is a planetary gear set (below). The electric motor is connected to the ring gear of the gear set. It is also directly connected to the differential, which drives the wheels. So, whatever speed the electric motor and ring gear spin at determines the speed of the car.

Electric Motor-also called as electric generator, it produces electricity to battery and to the engine, it charges the battery while running.

Internal Combustion Engine-the engine that makes the vehicle run, it can be fueled like normal cars—but have an electric motor and battery, and can be partially or wholly powered by electricity.
