Aging: To Treat, or Not to Treat?
By David Gems
The possibility of treating aging is not just an idle fantasy
The possibility of treating aging is not just an idle fantasy
The 20th century brought both profound suffering and profound relief to people around the world. On the one hand, it produced political lunacy, war and mass murder on an unprecedented scale. But there were also extraordinary gains—not least in public health, medicine and food production. In the developed world, we no longer live in constant fear of infectious disease. Furthermore, a Malthusian catastrophe of global population growth exceeding food production—a terrifying prospect predicted first in the 18th century—did not materialize. This is largely due to a steep decline in birth rates, for which we can thank the education, emancipation and rationality of women. Most people in the developed world can now expect to live long lives.
Yet, as too often happens, the solution of one problem spawns others. Because we are having fewer children and living longer, the developed world is now filling up with old people. In Japan, for example, where the population is aging particularly quickly, the ratio of people less than 20 years old to those over 65 is plummeting, from 9.3 in 1950 to a predicted 0.59 in 2025. In Europe and the United States, we see ever more bald and grey heads on streets and in parks and shopping malls. Although this is something to celebrate, old age unfortunately has myriad ways of making us ill. It brings cardiovascular disease that leads to heart attacks and strokes; neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's that erode the self; and macular degeneration, which blinds. And, of course, there is cancer. Aging has been described as the greatest of all carcinogens. Like the pandemic of obesity, the increasing number of people living long enough to experience these illnesses is, in some ways, a side effect of progress. Now we face this challenging question: Should we attack the underlying cause of this suffering? Should we try to "cure" aging?
I am a scientist working in the growing field of biogerontology—the biology of aging. The cause of aging remains one of the great unsolved scientific mysteries. Still, the past decade has brought real progress in our understanding, raising the prospect that treatments might one day be feasible. Yet aging is not just another disease. And the prospect of treating aging is extraordinary in terms of the potential impact on the human condition. So, would it be ethical to try to treat it?
One argument against treating aging is that it is not a disease. To an extent, this view stems from the fact that the word aging refers to different things. One is the experience of the passage of time. Another is the acquisition of experience and wisdom that can come from living long. To avoid confusion with these benign aspects, biologists use the term "senescence" for the increasing frailty and risk of disease and death that come with aging. Put more precisely, then, the question at hand is this: Is human senescence a disease?
One approach to defining illness has been to compare a given condition to good health. Is someone's condition typical of a person of a given gender or age? For instance, the possession of ovaries is healthy for a woman, but not a man. Likewise, one might consider muscle wasting to indicate serious disease in a 20-year-old, but not a 90-year-old. Given that everyone who lives long enough will eventually experience senescence, I can appreciate the view that it is a normal condition and therefore not pathological. Still, from my perspective as someone working on the biological basis of aging, it is hard not to see it as a disease.
Senescence is a process involving dysfunction and deterioration at the molecular, cellular and physiological levels. This endemic malfunction causes diseases of aging. Even if one ages well, escaping the ravages of cancer or type II diabetes, one still dies in the end, and one dies of something. Moreover, in evolutionary terms, aging appears to serve no real purpose, meaning it does not contribute to evolutionary fitness. Why, then, has aging evolved? The main theory dates back to the 1930s and was developed by J. B. S. Haldane and, later, Peter Medawar—both of University College London—and by the American biologist George C. Williams of the State University of New York, Stony Brook. It argues that aging reflects the decline in the force of natural selection against mutations that exert harmful effects late in life. An inherited mutation causing severe pathology in childhood will reduce the chances of reproduction and so disappear from the population. By contrast, another mutation with similar effects—but which surfaces after a person's reproductive years—is more likely to persist. Natural selection can even favor mutations that enhance fitness early in life but reduce late-life health. This is because the early-life effects of genes have much stronger effects on fitness. Consequently, populations accumulate mutations that exert harmful effects in late life, and the sum of these effects is aging. Here evolutionary biology delivers a grim message about the human condition: Aging is essentially a multifactor genetic disease. It differs from other genetic diseases only in that we all inherit it. This universality does not mean that aging is not a disease. Instead, it is a special sort of disease.
A different worry about redefining aging as a disease is that it would lead to stigmatization of the elderly. Perhaps, but the recognition of late-onset Alzheimer's disease as a pathology created an ethical imperative for research to understand and treat the condition. One might expect the same to be true of aging. Such a redefinition would also help to counter the blight that is the wholesale swindling of the elderly by practitioners of so-called anti-aging medicine. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assures the safety and efficacy of medical treatments. Yet because aging is not viewed as a disease, orally administered drugs marketed as treatments for aging (resveratrol, for example) are subject only to the much laxer FDA regulations that apply to dietary supplements. Redefining aging as a disease would not only energize research into treatments, it would shut down the snake-oil peddlers.
The possibility of treating aging is not just an idle fantasy. One of the most remarkable discoveries in biology in recent decades is one that surprisingly few people know about: It is possible to slow aging in laboratory animals. In fact, it is easy. Work in my own lab focuses on the tiny nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, which is widely used in genetic studies. Even under optimal culture conditions, these creatures age and die within two to three weeks. In the early 1980s the American geneticist Michael Klass first discovered that by altering their genes, one can slow aging in C. elegans. The result is that the worms live much longer and they remain youthful and healthy longer. The current record for enhancing C. elegans longevity is an astonishing tenfold increase in lifespan, produced by a group at the University of Arkansas. It has now been shown that genes that influence aging in the worms also influence aging in mammals (in mice, to be precise). Humans also carry these genes.
By identifying genes that control aging rates, we can also learn about the underlying biology of aging. We can explore the aging-related processes that the genes influence. Many aging genes are associated with a nutrient-sensitive signalling network that includes insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and an intracellular protein called TOR. Dampening the signals that this network transmits slows growth, increases resistance to stress and increases lifespan. Work in my laboratory and others at the Institute of Healthy Ageing in University College London aims to understand how exactly this network works to control aging. Answering this involves addressing the big question: What produces aging? One theory attributes it to an accumulation of molecular damage. Another points to excess biosynthesis; many genes and pathways that influence aging are associated with control of biosynthesis and growth. Yet the truth remains unclear.
The realization that aging can be manipulated has profound implications for people. Controlled reduction of food intake (dietary restriction) can improve late-life health and increase lifespan in mammals, from rodents to rhesus monkeys. Whether it might do the same in humans is currently under investigation. One aim of aging research is to develop drugs that can reproduce the effects of dietary restriction and also of genetic alterations that slow aging. One approach could be to use drug therapy to target the nutrient-sensitive pathways that regulate aging (for example, TOR) and that seem to mediate the effects of dietary restriction on aging. The ultimate goal would be a pill that one could take regularly from midlife onward. This pill would theoretically slow aging with minimal side effects. Its predicted impact would be to reduce the incidence of aging-related disease at all ages—although not to remove them altogether. This would lengthen good health later into life and extend our lifespan—possibly without expanding periods of disability and dependency.
Such an approach could revolutionize the ways that diseases of aging are combated. Currently they are, by and large, tackled individually. One scientist studies heart disease, another Alzheimer's disease, another macular degeneration and so on. Yet such ailments are symptoms of a larger underlying syndrome: aging. It is for this reason that there is a law of diminishing returns when it comes to treating diseases of aging. The battle with aging is akin to that between Heracles, the hero of Greek mythology, and the multiheaded Hydra. Each time Heracles hacked off a head, two more would sprout in its place. Likewise, the old man successfully treated for prostate cancer may not long afterward stagger back into the physician's office with macular degeneration and dementia. Such piecemeal approaches to treating age-related illness have undoubtedly improved late-life health to an extent and they have increased life expectancy. This, again, is something to celebrate. Yet in the long run a more powerful way to protect against age-related disease would be to intervene in the aging process itself. This would provide protection against the full spectrum of age-related illnesses. Returning to our classical illustration, to really defeat the diseases of late life we need to strike at the heart of the Hydra of senescence: the aging process itself. But is this actually where biogerontology is headed?
After establishing my own research laboratory some years ago, I found myself brooding about the purpose of biogerontology. As a scientist working on aging, what exactly should I be trying to achieve? What was the big plan? I began asking other biogerontologists and soon discovered that there was no unified vision regarding what to do about aging once we understood it. I realized that I'd have to try to figure this out for myself. It helped that a few people had wondered about this before, particularly in medical ethics. In 2003 Eric Juengst at Case Western Reserve University identified three distinct goals for biogerontology. One he called compressed morbidity. This entails improving late-life health while avoiding any major extension of lifespan. Another was arrested aging, that is to say, stopping aging altogether. And the third was decelerated aging, slowing down the aging process. Putting aside the question of the pros and cons of each goal, only decelerated aging seemed plausible to me, given recent developments in biogerontology.
But is this a type of medicine that humanity should pursue? As I see it, decelerating human aging would have two outcomes in ethical terms. On the one hand, it would reduce disease on an enormous scale. This would be a great good. On the other hand, it would lead to life extension, perhaps eventually of a large magnitude. This second outcome is controversial. Surveys of public opinion, for example by researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia in 2009, suggest that most people would favor this outcome, but not all. There have been some vocal opponents. Yet, given the great benefit of decelerated aging in terms of reduced suffering, I feel we must pursue this approach, despite the misgivings.
Although decelerated aging seems a goal that should be pursued, it still has some troubling features. One relates to a question that I sometimes get asked about mice whose life has been extended: What do they die of? The answer is a range of aging-related illnesses, similar to those afflicting the untreated mice. But if the mice still die from aging-related diseases, people ask, what is the benefit? All that has been achieved is that the diseases have been delayed for a while. It is quite true that decelerated aging is not predicted to reduce lifelong risk of terminal disease. Yet one has to put this into perspective. The fact is that no medical treatment reduces a person's overall risk of dying. For example, it is logical to assume that the development of a cure for tuberculosis led to an increase in the frequency of Alzheimer's disease. It must have since it raised the proportion of people living to ripe old ages, when the erasing hand of Alzheimer's strikes. Sadly, the probability that each of us will die as the result of some severe pathology is 100 percent, and this can never change. So it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., used to say. Ultimately, the success of any medical treatment should be gauged in terms of the degree to which it extends a healthy lifespan. Viewed against such a moral yardstick, one can see that decelerated aging would be of great benefit.
Here's another worry, though. I argue for the recognition of an imperative to seek treatments that decelerate aging in order to alleviate late-life diseases. But at what point would such an imperative be fulfilled? Although decelerating aging would postpone the illnesses of aging, it would not make them any less awful. This means that achieving decelerated aging would not lessen the imperative. We would only be compelled to decelerate aging further, and then further still. Here the ethical calculus seems to set us inexorably on a road to ever-greater life extension. Could any sane authority ever opt to force others to forego treatment and suffer from avoidable age-related disease? Surely not.
So it is that decelerated aging would force a dilemma upon us. Should we alleviate suffering on a large scale and accept life extension? Or should we allow an immensity of avoidable suffering in order to avoid extending life? To my mind, the only reasonable course is the first. In fact, we should pursue it energetically, and begin to prevent illness as soon as is feasible. If not, we risk the fury of future generations for dithering. As for life extension, we will just have to take that on the chin. If we can prepare for it socially, politically and institutionally, and if we keep birth rates low, we should be able to ensure long, healthier, happier lives for our children and for our children's children.

Construction on a Puyallup River side channel near Orting resumed on June 11.
The new 1,400-foot side channel will reduce impacts to nearby neighborhoods from river flooding and establish salmon habitat. Construction began in September 2017.
Construction on the 48-acre site, which is adjacent to the Foothills Trail at South Fork Road
and State Route 162, is expected to be complete in November.
Foothills Trail users can expect to be stopped briefly when trucks cross the trail to access the worksite.
Trucks will access the project site via South Fork Road, which crosses the Foothills Trail just
north of the McMillin Trailhead and State Route 162 bridge over the Puyallup River.
This is the final phase of a project that started in 2013 with the construction of a 2,000-foot-long
side channel along the west side of the Puyallup River to reduce flood risk, restore
floodplain and provide salmon habitat.
This last phase of the project will cost $1.7 million, with approximately $1 million coming
from state grant monies and the remainder from matching county funds. RV Associates of
Port Orchard is the contractor.
A project page is available at www.piercecountywa.gov/southfork.

Not the first time for this song as the Friday OT. I don't care.
The genius of Calamaro is in the lyrics, below.
Sentiste alguna vez lo que es tener el corazón roto
Sentiste a los asuntos pendientes volver hasta volverte muy loco
Si resulta que sí, si podrás entender lo que me pasa a mí esta noche
Ella no va a volver y la pena me empieza a crecer, adentro
La moneda cayó por el lado de la soledad y el dolor
Todo lo que termina, termina mal, poco a poco
Y si no termina se contamina más y eso se cubre de polvo
Me parece que soy de la quinta que vio el mundial 78, me tocó crecer viendo a mi alrededor paranoia y dolor
La moneda cayó por el lado de la soledad otra vez
No me lastimes con tus crímenes perfectos, mientras la gente indiferente se da cuenta
De vez en cuando, solamente sale afuera la pena real
Si resulta que sí, si podrás entender lo que me pasa a mí esta noche
Ella no va a volver y la pena me empieza a crecer, adentro
La moneda cayó por el lado de la soledad y el dolor
La moneda cayó por el lado de la soledad otra vez
La moneda cayó por el lado de la soledad.

OGC and BTO, analyst opinion wrap-up from a Bloomberg terminal piece
Thanks A Reader for punting this one on:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(BFW) OCEANAGOLD/B2GOLD STREET WRAP: Philippines Suspension Unlikely
OCEANAGOLD/B2GOLD STREET WRAP: Philippines Suspension Unlikely 2016-09-28 13:22:29.743 GMT
By Aoyon Ashraf
(Bloomberg) -- B2Gold fell ~12%, OceanaGold 14% in Canadian trading yday, after Philippines govt. noted that audit of roughly three quarters of mines in the country could see operations suspended; most analysts expect issue to be resolved, and mine suspension unlikely for both cos., although stocks likely to be volatile in S-T until issues are resolved.
CIBC (Jeff Killeen)
* OGC CN, BTO CN have sufficient balance sheet strength be able to develop mines in Philippines (based on $1,300/oz gold price) uninterrupted
* Says during previous site visits, it was observed, that operations at Didipio and Masbate mines seemed to be employing industry best practices; would be surprised if ops ultimately halted
* Didipio represents ~37% of NAV for OGC CN; Masbate ~29% of BTO CN's NAV
BMO (Brian Quast)
* Masbate comprises 22% of BMO's NAV, 28% of 2017 production ests.
* Didipio represents 31% of asset-level NPV, 30% of 2017 gold eq. production for OGC CN
* Expect weakness for OGC CN until further clarity is provided
RAYMOND JAMES (Chris Thompson)
* OGC CN's social license, strong environmental track record from operating in New Zealand and Philippines for several years underscore its commitment to safe and responsible mining
* Also OGC CN has strong local support, which will help OGC CN in resolving this matter
* Didipio is 30% of NAV for OGC CN; Masbate represents 28% of NAV for BTO CN
HAYWOOD (Geordie Mark)
* OGC CN will be able to resolve issues raised in audit, even though DENT announcement presents negative headline risk, heightened investment risk for Philippines
* Didipio accounts for roughly 23% of project NAV
* BTO CN's Masbate mine represents 20% of project NAV; notes that mine received ISO 14001 accredition earlier this yr, which confirms environmental mgmt system is up to ISO standard required by country's law
CANACCORD (Reg Spencer)
* Says unlikely that OGC CN can't satisfactorily address listed social issues; notes that suspension is based on "soft" social issues rather than any specific environmental breaches
* Didipio represents 30% of NAV ests; OGC CN ultimately will be able to resolve these issues, uncertainty will be elevated until situation is resolved
CORMARK (Richard Gray)
* Ascribing low probability for suspension of BTO CN's Masbate mine
* BTO CN now trades at 0.97x NAV, 8.2x CF, which is "attractive value" for investors looking to build or add to position in high quality, growth co. in gold sector
* Finds it "hard to believe that a well-run operation such as
Didipio would actually be suspended;" also sees OGC CN trading on attractive valuations
NATIONAL BANK FINANCIALS (Raj Ray, Steve Parsons)
* Doesn't see any balance sheet risk for OGC CN, in case of potential suspension of Didipio (~22% of asset NPV)
* Reiterating sector perform rating, PT of C$4.50 for BTO CN given potential for resolution of cited violations without production interruption or material impact to costs
* Says Masbate represents 17% of mine/project NAV at C$0.54/shr
SCOTIABANK (Ovais Habib)
* For OGC CN, under a worst-case outcome, oper. license at Didipio (39% of asset NAV ests.) would be suspended; although at this time its low-probability scenario
* More likely that there will be requirement for more stringent operating conditions
* For BTO CN remain optimistic that Masbate (23% of asset NAV) operating license can remain in good standing; final negotiations between co. and govt expected in coming weeks
Global Mining Observer brightens an otherwise quiet day...
Chart of the day is...
The Barrick (ABX) Veladero mine's suspension is likely to be lifted on Friday
Frank Holmes Says
This is of course a developing story.
A Philippino pair trade
1) the apparent difference in gravity between the company infractions (according to the Philippino govt anyway), as BTO's looks rather admin-related while OGC's looks potentially serious2) the relative exposure of the two companies to the country in NAV terms (OGC has more percentage of its overall corporate neck on the line)3) the roughly equal share price reaction so far today (I recently saw BTO down 12% and OGC down 13%)
I'm getting a lot of mails about B2Gold (BTG) (BTO.to) this morning...
One final thing: My inner investor isn't really that worried or nervous about this, which surprises me a little. I'm taking that as a good sign, but it's a wholly personal thing.
UPDATE lunchtime: BTO announces this and the feeling above fits into the contents that 1) not as serious as other cases 2) the loose cannon effect still can't be ruled out. Bottom line is that before I was reasonably relaxed about holding through, now I'm even more relaxed, but I'm too whussy to add any more (plus I'm already overweight BTO, the eggs-in-one-basket rule says I shouldn't rush and and get more). Or as reader RL succinctly put it in the shortest mail I've received today, "Overblown...blow over".

With the successive governments caring little about preserving heritage buildings, a historic mansion of Sikh general Mangal Singh Ramgarhia, who was in Maharaja Ranjit Singh's army, has been reportedly demolished by its new owner at Kucha Mangal Singh Ramgarhia area of the city.
Located near the Golden Temple Complex, the mansion was with the descendants of Ramgarhia for a considerable period of time after which they sold it off. Consequently, the property has now changed hands and its new owner probably intends to utilise the space to construct a new building.

DAB radios are ten-a-penny these days, from car stereos through to tiny pocket radios powered by a couple of AAA batteries. Given the choice, it means choosing a radio can be quite a daunting, so what you need is something that looks good, sounds great and offers something a bit different, as a package.
The Geneva WorldRadio DAB+ is certainly a looker, and on the surface it appears to have all the features we want in a radio. So we spent a few weeks with one to see how we got on and, if we're honest, the strength of our feeling took us a little by surprise.
When we first picked up the WorldRadio, we weren't sure what to think. It wasn't quite what we expected. It's hard to say what we thought it would be like, but there was something about it that just caught us off guard. But after holding it for a few moments, and also after turning it on, you start to realise that its design is a response to its function. And when you spend a little time with it, you start to realise that it's perfect at its job, and perfectly designed for that job.
The style is both retro and modern. There's a choice of paint finishes. Ours, in silver, looks smart, but it's also available in both black and red, and we think both of them look absolutely stunning.
We also adore the symmetry of the design too. Those of us with some mild OCD - which is pretty much everyone - will love the way the two dials balance each other out and the way the screens sits, entirely dark, until you turn the radio on. Honestly, this radio looks stunning even when it's just sitting on the side in your kitchen.
The pull-out antenna is the only weak point, both in terms of the design and physically. It's solid enough, but it serves to remind us of how far wireless things have come. These days, it's rare to see an antenna on anything, even Wi-Fi routers and the like, so here it's a bit jarring, but it's needed to make the radio work.
Those two dials, which balance the unit are well thought-out too. The left turns the radio on with a push in, and off in the same way. It's also the control for volume, which is logical. On the other side, the dial is for tuning and selecting things. Both are silky smooth and joy to turn. And it's things like that which make all the difference.,
Overall, the WorldRadio just gets everything right. Its metallic case and solid construction restore our faith in manufacturing, and its honestly an object we love to look at, and hold. And that's still painfully rare, even in a world where products are increasingly well-built.
To change modes, you simply press the indicator buttons on the screen. It's kind of a basic touchscreen, but it works fantastically well and gives you quick access to every feature on the radio.
Loads of connectivity
First, the presence of DAB+ here is welcome, although there's still some doubt about how British radio will evolve over the next few years. DAB+ has some massive quality advantages, but switching over to it would leave a lot of existing radio owners without a working service. It's a hard decision, but perhaps it's one that needs to be taken before the country will really embrace DAB.
With that said, the digital radio is stunning here, and honestly, we've never really had a massive issue with DAB in the UK. Of course, we're lucky enough to live in a metropolitan area with lots of lovely sigal, but the audio quality has never given us too much trouble either. Of course, there are times when it can sound a bit stretched, but then so can FM.
Oh, and there is an FM radio here too, with RDS, so even if you're in a non-digital area you can still pick up stations, and you'll get on-screen information too, such as the name of the channel you're tuned to.
Perhaps most crucially, there's Bluetooth here. This means that every phone - pretty much - can connect to this device and play music over it. That's a really smart idea, and it's by far the most widespread and least power-hungry wireless audio system.
And, finally, if you're not a wireless sort of person, you can connect any device to it with a 3.5mm lead. So if you've got an ancient MP3 player, with no wireless, or you think that Bluetooth makes your teeth turn blue, then you're in luck here.
The only thing missing from the WorldRadio is some form of internet radio. But with Bluetooth, you can simply use your phone, tablet or even laptop as a way of getting any station on the planet out of the Geneva's speakers.
Truly portable
One of the things we really like about the WorldDab is its built-in battery. This is something that all digital radios should have, because it gives you the portability that you don't get from most digital music devices. It's claimed to last up to six hours, but that depends on use. FM radio, as you might imagine, is a lot less power-hungry than DAB and Bluetooth.
Even better, the battery is easily accessible by removing the rubber foot at the base of the radio. This is by far the best bit of design we've seen for something like this. It means you can simply pull the old one out when it stops working. The space here is big too, and although it's customised to hold this particular battery, it wouldn't be hard to hack it to take a larger cell, in theory at least.
Because of that carry handle, and the nice weight of the WorldRadio, we can see people who love portable radios very much falling for this as a device that's ideal for anywhere in your home, or garden.
Sound quality and performance
As much as we love the look and features of the WorldRadio, it would be nothing if it didn't sound brilliant. Happily, it sounds utterly brilliant. Firstly, it's got a decent whack of power for a reasonably small - and battery powered - digital radio. It's loud enough to fill a small room, and it can hold its own in a larger room.
What's more, the sound quality is nothing short of brilliant. The bass is balanced to perfection and has loads of power, but never overwhelms anything else, or pushes the built-in speakers beyond their comfort zone. We didn't hear any distortion, even at loud volumes.
DAB, Bluetooth and even FM are all fantastic-sounding and even if the styling of the radio doesn't work for you, we think you'd have a hard time arguing that it's not one of the nicest sounding, and operating, radios you can buy.
It might not be cheap, but the WorldRadio does two things very well. First, its design, both physically and in terms of how it works, is brilliant.
Every feature we want is here, and although you could argue that it should have internet radio functionality, we can see why it doesn't, and there's also a counterargument that with your phone or laptop connected, you have more than enough access to the world's radio stations, and can easily play them via the WorldRadio.
For £270, you'd hope it would be brilliant, but the WorldRadio goes one better and is actually beyond brilliant. We'd spend our own money on one, with no hesitation, and we have no problem recommending you do the same.

This is Red Bull's chief technical officer Adrian Newey at the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed, reading the manual of the Red Bull RB5: the car he's sitting in, and the car he designed for the 2009 Formula One season.
It was Newey's first championship-class car for Red Bull, taking the title fight with Jenson Button's Brawn BGP–001 all the way to the penultimate race at Interlagos. A few months after this picture was taken, after this car's successor won the 2010 world championship in the hands of Sebastian Vettel, the team gave the car to Newey as a gift.
The Guardian has recently posted a wonderful interview with Formula One's gentle rocket scientist, where he talks about his easily romanticized 2B pencil, his life at Red Bull, and the reason he lost most of his hair in 1994.

|THE LAW OF THE COSMOS. THE DIVINE HARMONY ACCORDING TO PLATO'S REPUBLIC – TIMAEUS: The Platonic Riddle Of Numbers Newly Solved And Illustrated.
Eberhard Wortmann. Translated by Ariel Godwin. Edited by Joscelyn Godwin.
German Edition 1965, Translation Society Edition 2008. 135 Pages, Including 80 Geometric Plates and 12 FULL COLOR PLATES. This is the 3rd book in the Sacred Science Translation Society series. This book is One of the Ten Greatest Cosmological Masterpieces Ever Written! Eberhard Wortmann is the only know modern Magister Ludi to have corresponded with Hermann Hesse, who in appreciation of his brilliant work called him a master "Glass Bead Game Player." The Sacred Science Institute worked in conjunction with Wortmann's family to produce this English translation of his Masterpiece, and will continue to translate his 3 further works, bringing his life work into English for the fist time. Wortmann's works contain hundreds of the most sophisticated diagrams on Sacred Geometry, Pythagorean and Platonic Number Theory, Harmonics and Astronomy ever seen, as well as one of the most intricate elaborations of Universal Order and Cosmic Law known to man.

|THE ARCHEOMETER: Key To All The Religions & Sciences of Antiquity. Synthetic Reformation of All Contemporary Arts
By Marquis Saint-Yves D'Alveydre.
Translated by Ariel Godwin.
Edited & Introduced by Joscelyn Godwin.
French Edition 1911, Translation Society Edition 2008. 500 Pages, Accompanied by 5 Color Plates, 10 Portraits, & 100 Figures & Tables. This fourth translation in the Sacred Science Translation Society series represents one of the most highly respected elaborations of the universal system, by one of the most respected esotericists of the 19th century. Our volume includes the technical source text, along with a further 70 page elaboration and description by another of St. Yves associates published in the French magazine La Gnose from 1909-1912. It also includes another half dozen scholarly articles published throughout the last century on St. Yves and his work. This book is another of the Greatest Cosmological Masterpieces Ever Written! From the Intro: What is the Archeometer? The Archeometer is the instrument used by the Ancients for the formation of the esoteric myths of all religions. It is the canon of ancient Art in its various architectural, musical, poetic, and theogonic manifestations. It is the Heaven that speaks: every star, every constellation becomes a letter or a phrase, or a divine name lighting the ancient traditions of all peoples with a new day. Saint-Yves applied Archeometric keys to a new translation of the Genesis of Moses, in a work that is sadly little known: The Theogony of the Patriarchs. Together with the Vulgate, Fabre d'Olivet's translation, and other earlier attempts, this new adaptation of the words of Moses in Saint-Yves's rhythmic prose is of greatest interest to the members of all the Churches of Christianity, pastoral or secular. Over time, Saint-Yves, initiated directly by the Hindu Brahmans, wrote his Mission of India, in which the question of the "Mahatma" is resolved definitively and clearly. His "friends" have reverently reprinted this work, of which all but one example had been destroyed. Thus, here is a subject of study for future critics, or rather, many subjects, and we do not know what posterity will find most striking: the author's immense erudition, his style as personal as it is brilliant, or the exalted revelations of the initiate and historian. Dr. G. Encausse, aka "Papus." CONTENTS: TRUE WISDOM - BOOK I. INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE ARCHEOMETER Dedication Foreword PART I. Man's Wisdom and Paganism CHAPTER 1.

Where to Find Thanksgiving in London in 2012
Howdy there, Pilgrims! It's time for another round-up of Thanksgiving dinners in London if you're making an international relocation to London from the US in time for the holiday.
I've blogged before about how I, as a fellow American expat living in London, have been able to find the traditional fixin's for a Thanksgiving meal (like Stove Top stuffing and pumpkin pie) at the South Kensington Partridges in London (there's another in Chelsea on the King's Road, and the American Food Store is alternative located in Holland Park).

Many years ago I hosted monthly wine dinners (well, not *exactly* "hosted" - they paid.) I had roasted a couple of kids outside for this one (No! Not *that* kind!)
The meal and the wines were very well received. About 75 diners/drinkers.
I had a real spiffy crepe dish I was going to wrap up with. While most of the individual portions were assembled in the kitchen. I wanted to do some pyrotechnics in front of the crowd, though.
Set up a copper rechaud on a cart in front of the folks.
As the waiters were bringing out the preponderance of the desserts,I fired up the rechaud and put my copper pan on it. My timing was impeccable Got it quite hot. Put butter, the crepes etc in. (You think you see where this is going, but you don't. )
I began adding an array of liqueurs to the pan. I had some of the giant matches with which to light the pan. Added a little super duper 150 proof flambe liquid to insure a good fire.Went to light it with a flourish. Unfortunately I flourished right into the pan's handle with my flourishing hand - the result being the pan flying off the rechaud and landing in a fortunately empty seat at the front table (guest was in the bathroom) , catching the chair on fire.
I said Voila!

Earth from Space: Dubai's man-made wonders
The man-made Palm Islands and World Islands on the coast of Dubai are highlighted in this Envisat image.
Each of the Palm Islands – Palm Jumeirah (seen in the middle), Palm Jebel Ali (on the far left) and Palm Deira (not yet visible) – is being built in the shape of a date palm tree, consisting of a trunk and a crown of divided, elongated leaves, and has a surrounding breakwater to protect against the impact of waves.
The Palm Jumeirah, expected to be completed in 2006, is the smallest of the three islands and is primarily a retreat and residential area. Fifty percent larger than Palm Jumeirah, the Jebel Ali Palm, due to finish in late 2007, is more of an entertainment destination and will include a water theme park.
The Palm Deira is the last and largest (80 square kilometres) instalment in the palm project and will be located six kilometres from The World Islands. Upon completion in 2010, it will consist of residential property, marinas, shopping malls and sports facilities.
The World Islands project (seen on the right), located close to the Palm Jumeirah, is a collection of 300 islands shaped into the continents of the world, each ranging in size from 23 226 to 83 613 square metres. The only means of transportation between the islands, which are separated by 50 to 100 metres of water, is by marine or air transport.
The relatively shallow depth of the Persian Gulf and the wide continental shelf off the Dubai coast make the construction of these artificial islands possible. The islands are comprised of approximately 100 million cubic metres of rock and sand and will increase Dubai's shoreline by 120 kilometres.
Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which was formed in 1971 by the former Trucial States – Dubai, Abu Zaby, 'Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Umm al Qaywayn – upon independence from Britain. Ra's al Khaymah joined the states in 1972.
The UAE, which is located in the Middle East, bordering the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, between Oman and Saudi Arabia, discovered oil some thirty years ago. Today its oil and gas output accounts for about 30 percent of its gross domestic product (GPD). At present levels of production, oil and gas reserves are expected to last for more than 100 years.
This 3 December 2005 image was acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) working in Full Resolution mode to provide a spatial resolution of 300 metres.
