January 2018 Eclipses and Skies You Won�t Want to Miss!

Get ready to see a double supermoon, a meteor shower, and more celestial wonders this month.

By Andrew Fazekas

The coming month brings back-to-back supermoons, planetary pairings, a meteor shower, and plenty

more reasons to look up at the night sky.

So, if your holiday haul included binoculars and telescopes, be sure to mark your January

calendar and get ready to try out your star-gazing gear!

New Year�s Supermoon�January 1 A super-size moon kicks off the year in style.

Officially, the moon will reach its full phase on January 1, 2018, at 9:24 p.m. ET.

That�s just four hours after it gets to its closest point to Earth in its roughly

month-long orbit, called perigee.

At a distance of just 221,559 miles, this full moon will be considered a supermoon�when

the lunar orb is bigger and brighter than usual in the night sky.

Quadrantid Meteor Shower�January 3 The first meteor shower of the year, the Quadrantids

will reach their maximum hourly numbers in the late night of January 3 and into the predawn

hours of January 4.

For this shower, peak rates usually hover around 60 shooting stars an hour, when seen

from very dark locations.

But with the nearly full moon dominating the overnight hours, the blinding glare will likely

wash out all but the brightest meteors.The Quadrantids get their name from the obsolete

constellation Quadrans Muralis, which fell out of favor in the 1920s.

Most of its stars instead became part of the constellation Bo�tes, the herdsman.

The meteors will appear to radiate from the northern part of Bo�tes in the northeast

sky, just off the Big Dipper�s handle.

Moon and Lion�January 4-5 Face the eastern sky in the late evening of

January 4 and check out the waning gibbous moon perched just above the star Regulus.

This brilliant blue-white star is the brightest member of the constellation Leo, the lion.

The celestial pair will appear to be dramatically close together at less than one degree apart,

equal to the width of two full lunar disks.

Some well-placed observers will be able to see the star briefly disappear behind the

moon in what�s called a lunar occultation.

Sky-watchers in northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, Europe, and northwest Africa can

watch as the bright star slips behind the lit portion of the moon for up to an hour.

Moon, Mars, and Jupiter�January 11 Early risers looking toward the southeastern

sky before dawn will get to see an eye-catching triangular pattern formed by the crescent

moon hanging near the naked-eye planets Jupiter and Mars.

Saturn, Mercury, and Moon�January 14 During the first half of the month, the planets

Mercury and Saturn will create a challenging planetary pair for sky-watchers.

But on the 14th, the razor-thin crescent moon will act as a convenient guidepost for tracking

down the dim duo.

The two planets may be easier to spot initially using binoculars.

The best time to try and catch them will be about 30 minutes before local sunrise.

Moon Hits a Bull�s Eye �January 27 On this night, the steadily swelling moon

will snuggle up to the bright orange star Aldebaran, the red eye of Taurus, the bull.

The red giant star, which sits 36 light-years away, will appear to be eclipsed by the gibbous

moon in the early morning hours for observers in northwestern North America.

But observers in Alaska will get the best evening views, since they will be able to

witness the star�s disappearance at 1:53 a.m. local time and then see it reappear 57

minutes later.

Teresa Yanaros of Divine Frequency presents her research on mainstream historical origins

of the term �bull�s eye� and the juxtaposition of esoteric and astrological synchronicity.

Travel through time and learn about the significance of Aldebaran and how we can search for and

integrate patterns of archetypes within our Earthly experience.

Total Eclipse of the Blue Supermoon�January 31

Lucky sky-watchers across the Pacific rim and the West Coast of North America will get

to see a blue supermoon undergo a total eclipse.

The moon will be full for the second time this month, a relative rarity historically

known as a blue moon.

The lunar orb will also be especially close to Earth, making it a supermoon.

Adding to the drama, Earth�s dark shadow will slowly creep over the bright lunar disk

during that night�s total lunar eclipse, which will turn the blue moon blood red.

Totality, or total coverage of the moon, begins at 7:51 a.m. ET (12:51 UT).

The entire event will be visible from Alaska, Hawaii, western Canada, the western Pacific

Ocean, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, and Japan.

Sky-watchers in eastern North America will witness only a partial eclipse just before

sunrise.

Video of the Day Recap January 1-6 - Duration: 7:31.

Last week I made a video announcing and explaining a new playlist that I would be maintaining

on my channel called "Video of the Day."

Everyday in 2018 so far I have added a video to this playlist that I enjoyed.

Before I go over why I chose these videos, I would like to announce a few "upgrades"

to my set up here that should hopefully make watching my crap a little more enjoyable.

Upgrade number one: New mic!

I'm using a different mic now so this video's sound quality should be less likely to make

you want to go jump off a bridge.

The last video's sound quality was so bad I'm surprised it even broke... uh... twenty

views, but then again I watch my own videos so many times that it probably has far less

than that.

Upgrade number two: music.

I found some royalty-free stuff that should hopefully make listening to my squeaker voice

more tolerable.

And the last upgrade?

EDITING.

Much more thought is going into this video than the turd I released last week.

Alright, that's it for the changes, now let's talk about the Video of the Day playlist

and the videos I chose to put in them.

On January 1st, New Year's Day, I put TechAltar's "Why Doesn't Apple Use Social Media?"

in the playlist.

I found this video really interesting because it shows what it takes for one of the biggest

companies in the world to advertise successfully.

TechAltar does an excellent job giving viewers an inside look into why Apple chooses the

advertising methods they choose, and explains why Apple controls their products' image

so strictly.

If you couple this video with PolyMatter's "The Grand Theory of Apple," Apple's

marketing strategies appear much more tactful than somebody might originally think.

If Apple or advertising interests you at all, I recommend watching "Why Doesn't Apple

Use Social Media?"

There was also one other video I watched that day that I considered making the first video

in the playlist but was ultimately never chosen.

This video was PewDiePie's "VINERS WELCOME!"

I found this video pretty humorous, however there were a couple reasons why TechAltar's

video was chosen over it.

One reason PewDiePie's video was not chosen for Video of the Day was the fact that his

video repeated much of the same things that other YouTubers had already discussed about

the people PewDiePie was reacting to.

For example, Cody Ko talked a year earlier about Piques in

his video "Instagram 'Comedians'"

and Pyrocynical talked about Lele Pons in his video "Lele Pons has hit a new low."

However, PewDiePie's video is still very funny and he does make original jokes within

the video so I still recommend giving the video a watch.

I also just feel that TechAltar's video is a little more worthwhile than PewDiePie's

video because TechAltar's video is more formal and interesting than PewDiePie's

comedic video.

If any of these videos I've listed seem interesting to you, I'll have links to every

video mentioned in this video down in the description.

I recommend giving all of them a watch as they are all really good in their own ways.

On January 2nd, I put the video "John Carpenter, Coolest Million Dollar winner" in the playlist.

To be honest, I didn't really watch anything that day that really stood out to me, so this

video sort of won by default.

I found this video on /r/videos, and you've probably already seen this video at one point

or another seeing as this was a huge deal when it first came out in 1999.

John Carpenter was the first million dollar winner on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and

he did something special right before he won the one million dollars that made this clip

stick with people all over the world.

If you still haven't seen the clip and want to see what he does before winning, I'll

have a link to the video in the description.

The only other video that was considered to be put in the playlist for that day was Vox's

"How Trump makes extreme things look normal."

The video itself is very interesting and educational and it explains a concept called the Overton

Window and how Trump's proposed policies as well as media coverage on him affect the

Overton Window.

If political theory bores you or just isn't your thing, I would avoid this video, but

otherwise it's a really good video that I recommend watching.

One reason the video wasn't included in the playlist is the fact that I found some

of the jokes in the video a little cringe-worthy, and I think John Carpenter's moment is just

a little bit cooler than Vox's video.

Side note: the John Carpenter who won Who Wants to Be a Millionaire isn't the movie

director John Carpenter, although both people have their own Wikipedia pages.

On January 3rd, I watched a ton of great videos, however the one that made the playlist was

jacksfilms's "i'm super sorry."

This parody of Logan Paul's apology video was really well done as jacksfilms keeps apologizing

to his fanbase about more and more outrageous things.

At least one thing said in this video should make you chuckle, especially if you have seen

Logan Paul's "So Sorry."

Some other videos I watched that day that I really enjoyed include: Dolan Dark's "Memes

V," Company Man's "Planet Fitness - Gym on the Rise," Weegee Plays' "Responding

to Polygon's Hit Piece on Me," Wendover Productions' "How Airlines Price Flights,"

and 2kliksphillip's three videos on sleep disruption.

All of these videos were exceptional in quality, however I can only put one video in the playlist,

and the one I chose ended up being jacksfilms's video.

I highly recommend watching all of the videos I just listed as these were some of the best

videos I watched all week this week.

For January 4th, the video I chose to put in the playlist was Weest's "They're

coming."

Ever since YouTube took down Weest's first channel, Weest's content has been getting

better and better and I think his commentary on furries is one of his best videos that

he's made on his new channel so far.

The video is really funny and if you've ever wanted a documentary on the furry problem,

Weest's video is the video for you.

Some honorable mentions for this day include CNET's "The tech that died in 2017,"

CollegeHumor's "The CH Cast's Favorite Sketches of 2017," and Marques Brownlee's

"iMac Pro Setup Tour 2018!" CNET's video was short and to the point, however it did

a good job reminding me just how many things were discontinued in 2017.

I liked the CollegeHumor video because of the cast's reflections on the different

videos that I had watched throughout last year.

If you watched CollegeHumor last year, you should watch this video as it's interesting

to see what the people working on the videos thought of the videos they made.

Lastly, Marques Brownlee's new setup tour was cool to see, because of how high-tech

his setup is and how mine will never even come close to that.

Out of all of these videos though, Weest's video was definitely an obvious pick for me

as I thought that his video stood out among the few I listed.

On January 5th, I didn't watch very many videos, however I still watched enough to

put Gus Johnson's "Every Episode of the Office" in the playlist.

This video is comedy gold if you've watched The Office for any amount of time, and after

watching this video, I went through some of his videos on his channel, and

he actually makes some really cool stuff that I recommend watching.

I recommend watching some of Gus Johnson's most popular videos as well as The Office

sketch I put in the playlist.

For this day, I didn't watch enough videos to warrant any honorable mentions.

Lastly, we have the video I added to the playlist yesterday, January 6th: Sir Swag's "Sernandoe

and everything wrong with YouTube."

This video is really well made, with it describing some problems with YouTube such as increased

ad revenue from longer videos as well as clickbait.

Once again, I didn't find any other videos worth mentioning for this day.

Overall, I watched some really high-quality videos from some of my favorite creators and

the videos that are in the playlist are just the best of the best.

If you're looking for something to watch, I highly recommend watching some of the videos

that I have linked in the description.

All of the videos that I have listed in this video are in the description to help you find

them easier.

I may or may not do a video similar to this one for next week's videos, it really depends on

if I have time seeing as school is starting up next week.

If you want to support the growth my channel, please consider subscribing, and I hope to

see you watching the next video I make.

Goodbye!

Jared Chamberlain | Broker/CEO at Chamberlain Real Estate Group - Duration: 6:27.

- My name is Jared Chamberlain

and I am the broker owner of Chamberlain Real Estate Group.

Rebecca and I started in real estate in Calgary,

residential real estate in 2005.

Started in 2005 and basically did our own gig

and have just been kind of moving towards

the team-based brokerage that we are now.

What we truly believe that differentiates

Chamberlain Real Estate Group from other brokerages

and even teams in the city is three things.

The first one is that we actually have

a paid internship program.

It really differentiates us because

when you get into real estate it's a hard gig to start.

Especially coming from another industry,

if you have a young family, anything like that

because you don't get paid right away.

We want to basically teach you

how to make money in real estate,

and basically build you up from the foundation up.

The second thing is we actually have a fast-track program.

In our career track in where you're moving as an agent

and growing, within 36 months,

the chances that you could end up being a growth partner

or an expansion partner of us.

So we are looking for the right people to grow our company

and for them to be able to also grow a team

inside of our brokerage team.

There's a huge opportunity for someone to do that,

to create leverage in their own business

and actually create a solid business as well.

Before I get into the third thing,

I actually want to review quickly about historical ways

that brokerages and agents have looked at commissions.

The one thing that agents really know how to look at

and focus on is commission splits.

This is the one thing that we always get asked

is what is your commission split.

What a lot of agents are forgetting

is that they need to look at six other areas as well.

There's things like brand recognition, occupancy costs,

leadership, training, lead generation,

and administrative support.

If those things are things that need to be happening

for an agent to feel like

there is value from their brokerage.

We really focus heavily on those things because we do have

basically a commission split structure in place.

Which leads me to my third thing.

The biggest thing is not what you make per year,

it's what you get to keep in your pocket.

Our third thing is we don't have any brokerage fees.

There's zero monthly fees, zero caps, anything like that.

We're really focusing on creating a true quality experience

for our agents and the clients that we get to work with.

So to become a successful agent in Calgary, it's hard.

It really is hard because as a solo agent,

you're wearing hundreds of hats sometimes

and you have to switch that hat all the time

for different clients and multiple times during the day.

And so what we've found is if you're jumping from marketing

to lead generation to negotiations

to preparing client events to doing all these kind of things

you're jumping all over the place

and its' really, really hard to be focused and strategic.

And so what we have found is that the more specialized

you are and you become, the more you're sought after

and the more money that you'll make.

And so we need to become specialized in what we're doing.

And so there's a crazy stat that I ended up pulling

that in January to October of 2017, so those 10 months,

there were only 3.2 sales

that happened per CREB member in the city.

We want to bring people on, agents on,

that are wanting to have a really successful business.

And we want to show them how we were able to sell and close

a single home every 1.7 days in that same time frame.

We've actually found that there's five aspects

of a real estate transaction.

The first one is lead generation, so the marketing.

Second one is converting that lead

into a qualified appointment.

Then it's actually the consultation,

meeting with that person, is the third one.

And then you go to convert that person,

have a successful transaction,

and help them find the right property or sell their home.

And then the fifth one is follow up.

The problem is, is the person who is a fantastic person

in follow up long-term loving on somebody,

isn't always the same person who's fantastic at negotiating.

Or isn't the same person that's really great at marketing.

So it's really hard to expect

a single agent to do all of those things.

So we have a system that really eliminates

some of those things for an agent

so that they can focus on what they're good at.

And again, being specialized makes you more money

and that's what we're all looking towards

is supporting our own families

and helping as many families in the city as we can

buy and sell houses.

At the Chamberlain Real Estate Group, we really believe

that people are more important than profits,

people are fundamentally good.

There's something good about every single person.

We really believe that there's always enough abundance.

And we really start the whole thing with,

and we really model ourselves after being a team first,

and a family second.

Being a family, if you have siblings,

having a sibling, you will love them unconditionally

despite their behaviors or their actions towards you.

But being a team, it's all about support,

it's all about pushing yourself to be better,

it's all about winning together

and really pushing a big ball forward.

When you're trying to have momentum

and it's just you by yourself,

it can be really challenging and really hard.

But when you have that team aspect,

that dream team around you

where everyone is working in their strengths,

everything becomes easier

and you get to have a better life because of it.

That's really what we believe.

Michael Eales | Smart Cities of the Future | Singularity University - Duration: 10:14.

(music)

- Can you design innovation into a city?

Michael Eales is helping cities across Australia

attract connected, inspired citizens

to live, work, and create.

As a business designer and strategist,

he helps leaders ignite impact

with more collaborative and innovative ways of working.

Welcome, Michael.

You've been doing a lot of work lately

with government agencies.

What are they coming to you for?

What kind of help are they looking to get from you?

- We found that today there's an absolute awareness now

that the problems that we've been trying to solve

for a long time aren't being solved

using the ways that have got us to where we are.

And so a lot of the leaders,

the public officers that we work with in government,

tend to have a mindset which is

we need to approach this from a different point of view.

And that starts with actually

coming with a beginner's mindset.

So, not assuming we have a solution that's quite linear

in terms of the pathway, but rather, it's gonna be messy.

And in that regard, we're seeing an absolute step change

in the way many governments

are now talking about policy design.

And when we look at the role of a department, for example,

the Department of Industry or the Department of Employment

in Australia,

you're seeing now the leaders in these areas

giving themselves permission to experiment, to fail.

And in many ways that's a significant mindset shift.

So we're absolutely bringing the user,

or in this case the citizen, to the center,

and ensuring that we're breaking down the

quite often high bureaucratic barriers

in terms of the traditional way

of navigating these challenges,

and ensuring that the staff of the government agencies

are actually in the field with the customer.

- That seems pretty revolutionary,

having government agencies spend time with the citizens,

trying to understand their needs.

What was that like?

Can you give us an example of an experience?

- Yeah, so one that I'm quite fond of

was some work we did with the Department of Industry

in Australia.

The streamlining of government was a major trigger for

the merger of two areas of this department.

And one area was the funding arm.

The other side of the department was

the enterprise connect team.

Their whole focus was to say yes to help business.

So the cultural differences here was

one area of this department was very much

focused on saying yes to helping business.

The other one was often saying no,

because we don't have infinite money.

So there was a pivotal moment where

bringing these two teams together.

And what we were able to explore and experiment with there

was having these business owners

actually tell their story.

And for the first time in many cases

be able to translate the pressures that they were feeling

as business owners in having to go through the process

of asking for funding, and jumping through all the hoops.

So in the end, this particular department decided, well

we needed to emphasize providing a service to business

first and foremost before we talk about the funding.

And so now in Australia you see this quite large program

called the Entrepreneur's Infrastructure Program,

which talks about this concept of infrastructure

as an enabler.

We're now seeing the funding being

almost a secondary conversation

to understanding where the business value is being captured.

- Michael, you work with a wide range of clients,

including cities.

You're working right now with a city in Australia

to help them design the future of cities.

Can you tell us about that project?

- Yeah, so the city is the city of Springfield,

or the greater Springfield community.

And it's a massive project.

It's got huge ambitions to be the future city

as an exemplar for how you design a community

and a city from the bottom up.

So, 25 years ago, the city was designed

as a master planned community,

which is one of two in Australia,

Kamber being the head office of the Australian government,

and then Springfield.

And this vision that was set by the founder Maha Sinnathamby

was to create a city built on pillars.

And the pillars were health, education, and energy,

and ICT.

Where that's taken us to today is this big ambition

around the convergence of the role a community can bring

to design the future of a city for itself.

And we frame that as the idea city, which is

innovation, design, entrepreneurship, and the arts.

An idea city is an example of a petri dish,

a living lab, we might call it.

And this living lab is now being open to the world

to bring the world's biggest corporates,

such as G.E., G.E.'s head office for Australia is based

in Springfield, to co-design and work with the community

to design the community of the future,

which ultimately is the city.

And all a city is, is a collection of lots of people

coming together.

And the collisions of that human condition

create a beautiful petri dish to experiment

for the future.

- Can you walk us through,

how did you get to this idea of the idea city?

What were some of the steps you took

in order to get people aligned on this big vision?

- So we apply a methodology that actually translates

across many ways of working.

But in the first part of this methodology,

we unpack understanding.

So that's looking at the world around us,

understanding the contextual insights

that are really the trends and the patterns

that are shifting the world that we live in,

And looking at how that translates and relates

to our vision, and our ambition, and our aspirations.

So if we can get an alignment between

our purpose, our vision, and the context of

the world we live in,

we can create the future together.

- That seems like a pretty big task right there.

Were there some specific tools

or ways that you got people to get aligned on that vision?

- Yes, we actually created a series of workshops

and engagement strategies to bring in

not only the community,

but the corporates, the businesses,

and the public sector leaders to come together

and co-design what this ambitious vision for the future

might look like.

So IdeasCity, as a vision,

came from a coming together of people

across all areas of the community

to actually define what that ambition will look like

for the future of the city.

- So having an idea, getting aligned, is one thing.

Putting it into action is a totally different thing.

What happened next?

- So in exploring that we actually applied a lense,

which we called shaping options,

and generating options for the future design.

So that's making sure that we don't try to stay on one path,

but give ourselves various scenarios to explore.

So IdeasCity, through the combination of these themes,

innovation, design, entrepreneurship, and the arts,

allows us to explore the pathways

for a community to create value for the future.

And what we did there, is we looked at the

mechanics that anchor the community

to a role within the city.

So, the businesses that operate within the city,

we were able to work with them

to look at their motivations

and how they wanted to create value.

And we did that through various tools that we use.

And one of those tools is the business model canvas.

And we're able to look at how we unpack and create value

as a community.

- So, let me see if I get this straight.

You mapped the value of a city

on a canvas.

- We did.

And we looked at it through a portfolio lense.

So we really looked at the role of

all the different stakeholders,

and we said, if you're G.E., how do you show up?

If you're Cisco, how do you show up?

If you're a small startup, how do you show up?

And we're the enablers.

So what are those ingredients that are required

to bring everyone together?

And so we were able to create little innovation hubs

that one of our partners in this program,

Little Tokyo Two, showed up.

And that little business, which in many ways

is a scaling business,

was about bringing the community together in a central place

to start to author what this ambition will look like

for the future.

- So all these different players

could find themselves in this larger map

of creating value for this master plan and the city?

- Absolutely

- What happened then?

- So then we've gone through a process

of actually identifying how we bring all these

multi-party stakeholders together

to create innovation that's actionable.

So we shape the framework.

And that framework was about aligned objectives

and agreements to contribute value

and bring your resources and capabilities to the table,

so that we actually execute on some of

the big ambitions we have.

And so, under the pillars, we've got,

for example, the future of energy,

or the future of mobility, as that relates,

also the future of health.

So one of the big projects right now

that the city is working on

is anchored around the future of health and health services.

And it's a very ambitious project wrapped around

the hospital as a space and place of wellbeing

as opposed to illness, for example,

and how that hospital in the community

connects and relates to the youngest people in the community

to the oldest people in the community.

- And where are you today?

- So today we're actually at a point

where at the end of March 2017,

we're launching the idea lab concept.

So this is one of the first living labs

that's being privately funded in Australia

in cooperation and collaboration

with our National Science Agency, Siro,

with organizations like G.E.,

and also the types of stakeholders

from the local community such as

the general practitioner that runs the clinic

down the road,

and the small businesses that actually are

party to the city.

So, where we are today is at a space where

we're setting up the experiments

we want to start to run.

So we're designing those experiments

and we expect to start actually delivering on those

in the next couple of years.

- Really trying to see if you can bring a city to life

that creates value for a variety of different players

that live there, that work there, that will thrive there.

- Absolutely

- Very exciting work.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

Benefits of Melatonin (increase your longevity?) - Duration: 10:11.

What, so everyone's supposed to sleep every single night now?

You realize that nighttime makes up half of all time?

So what is melatonin?

Melatonin, also known as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine

(Rolls off the tongue nicely, doesn't it?)

is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in inverse proportion to the amount of

light recieved by the retina.

Melatonin certainly delays,

potentially prevents a variety of age-related conditions.

This is melatonin. N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine.

I remind you that it's not unique to humans.

It's not unique to mammals.

It's in amphibians, birds, reptiles...

...cockroaches. Insects. Spiders.

Unicellular organisms. Bacteria.

Plants.

Every plant that has been studied contains melatonin.

Illustrating again,

The potential importance of this molecule.

There is no species that has been identified

that does not contain melatonin. Plant or animal.

So what does melatonin actually do? Well, melatonin regulates biorhythm.

In plants it defends against oxidative stress.

In animals and humans it regulates your circadian rhythms

and is sold over the counter in most countries as a sleep aid.

Melatonin was first discovered due to the mechanism by which certain reptiles and

amphibians change the color of their skin.

In 1958, a dermatology professor named Aaron Lerner believed that melatonin

could help in treating skin diseases.

It was later discovered that melatonin is directly involved in regulating

the circadian rhythm and that it is an antioxidant.

It also has a protective effect against radiation-induced cellular damage.

Before we talk about melatonin and its potential ability to increase longevity,

let's talk about telomerase, a repairing enzyme that preserves telomeres,

which protect chromosomes.

Chromosomes contain DNA and so telomerase seems like it could make you live longer.

There's really just one problem though, which Biologist and Nobel Prize winner

Elizabeth Blackburn explains quite nicely.

OK.

Seems like a no-brainer.

Now, if my telomeres are connected to how quickly I'm going to feel and get old

if my telomeres can be renewed by my telomerase,

then all I have to do to reverse the signs and symptoms of aging is

figure out where to buy that Costco-sized bottle of grade A organic fair trade

telomerase, right? Great! Problem solved. (Applause)

Not so fast, I'm sorry. Alas, that's not the case. OK.

And why? It's because

human genetics has taught us that when it comes to our telomerase, we humans

live on a knife edge.

OK, simply put, yes, nudging up telomerase does decrease the risks of

some diseases. But, it also increases the risks of certain and rather nasty cancers.

So even if you could buy that Costco-sized bottle of telomerase, and there are many

websites marketing such dubious products, the problem is you could nudge up your

your risks of cancers. And we don't want that.

Yeah, immortality is not going to come that easily.

Nonetheless, looking for ways to increase our longevity and overall health is always

a worthy pursuit.

This is where melatonin gets really interesting.

So, what are the known benefits of melatonin?

Well, the first and most obvious one is that it helps you sleep well.

This one is hardly worth mentioning as it is very well documented with plenty of

studies backing it up.

Here's a fairly recent one that shows the benefits of four weeks of melatonin

treatment on circadian patterns in resistance-trained athletes.

Long story short, their sleep efficiency went up.

Melatonin is the sleep hormone; and with a simple Google Search you can find plenty of

studies that demonstrate its usefulness in a variety of situations.

It almost always improves sleep efficiency.

Melatonin is very neuroprotective. There's an entire book dedicated to this topic

called Melatonin: Therapeutic Value and Neuroprotection.

This book contains a lot of good information on melatonin and its

neuroprotective effects and I highly recommend it.

I'll just quote one thing from this book, which is this:

In a study of 14 patients at various stages of Alzheimer's disease, melatonin

supplementation for 22-35 months improved sleep and significantly reduced

the incidence of "sundowning".

Furthermore, patients experienced no cognitive or behavioral deterioration

during the study period.

Sundowning, by the way, also known as sundown syndrome, are behavioral

changes that occur when the sun goes down in people with

Alzheimer's disease and other similar conditions.

Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy are all improved by melatonin.

The explanation for this is fairly simple: basically, melatonin receptors in the

human brain are affected by pathological conditions like Alzheimer's disease

and Parkinson's disease, so what happens is that cerebrospinal fluid

melatonin levels are significantly reduced. If you supplement with melatonin,

you naturally improve these conditions.

Melatonin has cardio-protective properties due to its free radical scavenger activity.

Some studies show potential when it comes to strengthening the immune system.

In people with Fibromyalgia, melatonin has proven to be beneficial.

A study entitled "Melatonin for the prevention and treatment of jet lag"

concluded that "Melatonin

is remarkably effective in preventing or reducing jet-lag."

For people with autism spectrum disorders, melatonin seems to improve

sleep parameters, daytime behavior and has few side effects.

It has also shown great potential in perimenopausal women.

In this study, women aged 43 to 49 saw an improvement in mood,

but women who had already reached menopause saw no effect.

So if you're a woman between forty and fifty, give melatonin some thought

as it can possibly have a strong positive effect on you.

Finally, melatonin is associated with a statistically significant decrease

in tinnitus intensity and improved sleep quality in patients with chronic tinnitus.

That's a lot of interesting health upgrades that melatonin can give you,

right? But we haven't even scratched the surface.

What about increasing lifespan?

A mice study in University of Granada's Institute of Biotechnology explains that

chronic administration of melatonin on mice helps counteract all age-related processes

There's a book called "Modulating Aging and Longevity"

which has a section called "effect of melatonin on longevity" and this references

many studies on mice. A particularly interesting one is this one, where

treatment with melatonin and zinc significantly shifted to right the

survival curves and increased maximal life span of the mice

by 2 and 3 months, respectively.

There are many such studies but the most interesting one, in my opinion, is

this one: MELATONIN AND AGING: PROSPECTS FOR HUMAN TREATMENT.

So here's the thing. So far, the only method to increase lifespan that we know

ACTUALLY works is caloric restriction.

According to this study, "the only proven remedy against aging is food restriction.

It was determined, that a chronic 40% reduction in caloric intake beginning at

the young age extended the life span of mice, rats, dogs

and monkeys by some 30-50%."

Fasting and intermittent fasting are topics I want to get into in another video,

but let's just say that, for most people, being constantly hungry is not a very

attractive thought.

If you watched my previous video, I talked a bit about how eating a lower

volume of food is associated with longevity, and interestingly, this study

also points out that "Chronic restriction of food intake

preserved the nighttime peak of melatonin secretion."

So, basically,

eating less means you have more melatonin running through you.

Quite the interesting connection we've got here, huh?

Here's another interesting tidbit: "Transplantations of pineal glands

from young mice to old animals increased their life span by 42% and

implanting old pineals into young mice reduced their life span by 29%.

Humans and mice are biologically similar; in fact, we share more than 90 percent of

of our genes with mice. Yeah, mice, rats, dogs and monkeys

are not humans and we can't know for sure if melatonin has

the same effect on us, but odds are, it does.

So, OK, we know that melatonin can possibly increase our longevity. But do you

remember Elizabeth Blackburn's talk that I just showed you?

Mess with your longevity, and you might just increase the risk of cancer.

This is where melatonin is unique: it seems to actually prevent a bunch of cancers.

A cure for cancer?!

No, not a cure for cancer, obviously. But here's what we know.

In Schulz-Aellen's book, Aging and Human Longevity, she explains that

"The postulated mechanisms are that melatonin acts indirectly via the immune

system or that it inhibits directly tumor growth factor production.

These studies emphasize the role of melatonin as an antitumor agent.

Other studies suggest that the decline in the production of melatonin with age

is associated with increased odds of getting cancer.

Melatonin seems to inhibit a variety of tumors, and chemotherapy is

is better tolerated in patients treated with melatonin.

These are all very recent studies and so 100% certainty is not a luxury we have.

But it is interesting that unlike telomerese, melatonin seems to prevent

cancer rather than increase it.

This pineal gland hormone has been overlooked for far too long and it's about

time we start delving into its potential applications beyond a simple sleep aid.

(upbeat music)

- My name is Jessica

and I'm the listing coordinator with the team.

My background in social services

definitely helps me in this field.

I'm a very big people person.

Communication is always really key with me,

so having that background makes it so easy

for me to talk to all of our clients,

help them find everything they need,

and just be that support system.

The team is awesome to work for.

Honestly, one of the best.

This just has to be the best job I've ever had.

The team is just a really fun atmosphere,

Everyone works together,

helps each other,

everyone has different strengths.

So you can play off of that.

For community and our social work that we do

with Catholic Family Services,

I love it.

I think it's so great to be able to work with families,

connect with them that way,

and just volunteer and spend our time there.

My favorite part about the job is when

someone's house sells.

So when the house sells, it's just the best feeling.

Even for me,

just because I know how hard they worked to get there.

Getting your house ready is a huge process.

So whether they've taken months to get there

or just a weekend and pulled many all-nighters,

seeing them being able to sell their house

and put up those sold stickers,

which is something that we do.

We like having them put up the sold stickers themselves

and take a selfie,

and that's so exciting for me.

Because they sold their home

and now they get to move on

to whatever start they're going to.

Butt Implant settle and Drop after surgery-Dr.Hourglass - Duration: 6:37.

Hi, this is Dr. Hourglass, and welcome to another video in our channel Bootyman.

Today we are going to discuss: Butt implant settle and drop after surgery.

In this channel, we will discuss everything you need to know about buttock enhancement procedures.

Welcome back!

If you have spent some time searching for what happens after butt implant surgery,

chances are you have already run across the terms "settle" and "drop."

These terms are used in plastic surgery to describe certain points and milestones in the healing process

after butt or breast implant surgery.

While undergoing buttock implant surgery, you must be aware of where exactly the implants

are being placed and which part of the butt will be enlarged as a result.

After the buttock implant procedure, the tissues encompassing the implants gradually heal and relax,

letting the implants position and adjust in the intended position.

While often used, the implant drop-and-settle mechanism is a lot easier to understand.

Buttock implants have a tendency to appear high right after the intervention.

This occurs as a result of the post-operative swelling of the tissue and the snugness of the new pocket

that houses the implant.

After the procedure, these two gradually subside and the implants ultimately drop into their final position.

When this happens, the final results of the surgery will become visible.

In most patients, this process takes more than six months to occur.

However, the butt implants will drop and settle even if they are placed within the muscle,

which is one of the popular implant placement options.

With the subfascial placement, the implants drop, settle more, and experience some change in position.

In the case of intramuscular implant placement, your buttocks will appear high and right during

the first month after the surgery.

The buttocks will look larger than before, but the implants will be held tight by the swollen tissue.

By the third month after the intervention, the lower arc of the buttocks will appear smoother and fuller,

and the buttocks will achieve some definition.

At month 6, the buttocks will start showing the final results.

Your buttocks will completely settle and drop by this time.

The scars will be less visible and your buttocks will appear bigger, toned, and sexier.

If your skin tone is loose then your implant can drop and settle even more due to the nature

of the soft tissue interactions.

During the time period between the 6th month through the 12th month following the surgery,

your buttocks will completely develop and display the desired outcomes.

They will appear sensuous, voluptuous, and attractive.

When this happens, it means the implants have completely settled.

In this video we discuss: Butt implant settle and drop after surgery.

Next week, will discuss: Buttock implants revision surgery.

Landon Van Nistelrooy | Buyer Advisor at Chamberlain Real Estate Group - Duration: 1:25.

- My name is Landon Van Nistelrooy,

been with the Chamberlain Group just over a year now,

real estate for almost two and a half years,

and I'm a buyers' advisor at the Chamberlain Group.

There's always somebody there to help you out.

and there's always somebody there to have your back.

If you get into a busy period and you're

juggling a couple clients at a time,

and of course if you have any questions,

there's five ears and eyes to hear you out

and help you along the way so ...

I think we pride ourselves on really

staying in touch with our clients,

making sure that I mean even if

we helped them out five years ago

always updating them on events

that we're doing around the city...

The reason I got into it it's cuz you're helping

families in all different situations.

I mean it may be a divorce;

it may be their first time buying a home,

and you can walk them through it,

holding their hand throughout the whole process,

and there's even people like investors

that know what they're doing and you

gotta cater to kind of what their time frame may be...

And I just enjoy the reactions I get

when you hand those keys over to the clients,

and they,

especially first time home buyers for me I think,

cuz they get the keys to their first home,

and there's the static right,

and it just flows through you and it's just great.

With Rebecca and Jared, they really focus on

making sure the team's happy too,

it's making sure everybody's happy in the group.

It's almost like a family more than a Real Estate Group.
