Scientists Invent ‘Death Test’ That Will Tell Us How Long We Have To Live

eyebrows, mouth, ears and part of his head were all worked on. The

Scientists Invent ‘Death Test’ That Will Tell Us How Long We Have To Live
The non-invasive procedure involves applying a painless laser pulse to the surface of the skin through a wristwatch-style device.
This measures how a person’s body will decline with age by analysing endothelial cells, the Sunday Times reports.
These cells line the smallest blood vessels – capillaries – in our bodies and respond to complex activity elsewhere in the body.
By measuring the oscillations within the cells, the scientists say they can calculate the length of time before death and also test for diseases including cancer and dementia.
The result is graded from 0 for death to 100 for optimum functioning with the predictions becoming more accurate as more data is added.
A user-friendly version of the system is expected to be completed within the next three years.
The test was developed by two physics professors from Lancaster University, Aneta Stefanovska and Peter McClintock, with the help of grants from medical charities and government research bodies.
Professor Stefanovska is credited with inventing the method of analysing endothelial reactivity.
‘I am hoping we will build a database that will become larger and larger, so every person person measured can be compared against it,’ she said.
‘We will then be in a position to tell them the values [that] predict a certain number of years.’

“Tonto Dikeh Is Such A Rot And Lacks Every Bit Of Home Training” – Movie Producer Fires
Popular Nollywood Actress Tonto Dikeh’s acting may be going south following threats from some movie producers and director to relegate her to the background as a result of what they described as her rude conduct recently at a location in Asaba.
“That little br*t, apart from her addictions to marijuana, doesn’t give a damn about whose ox is gored, she abuses, throw tantrums and fights on set at any slightest provocation and we must make sure she’s humiliated.
“She seems to have gathered too much weight and has hurriedly forgotten those days when she used to go on bended knees for a ‘waka pass’ role in movies.We’ll teach her a lesson.”
According to sources, Tonto Dikeh who was playing a lead role in a movie at a location in Asaba, provoked the anger of a top movie director by her unbecoming display on set.
The director hasn’t stopped telling everyone his nasty experience at the hands of the controversial actress.
According to the director who craved anonymity:
“Tonto Dikeh is such a rot and lacks every bit of home training, apologies to her parents. I tried to control myself in order not to disrupt the set, but I got upset over the kind of insults Tonto heaped on the makeup artist on the set; a woman old enough to be her mother.
“She liberally used words like, ‘Are you stupid, don’t you know what you are supposed to do? Must I remind you before you’ll know you are supposed to make me up?’ on the woman who was at the verge of throwing back some punch lines at her.”
Consequently, a group of directors and producers have decided not to feature the actress who currently is not even in good terms with many actress, due to her recent outburst on the social media.

'Chewbacca bat,' stinky beetles and other bizarre species found in national park
A furry bat named after a notorious Star Wars character, bombardier beetles that unleash explosive, foul-smelling gas to defend themselves, ants that can't walk or stand on flat surfaces and a mysterious cave-dwelling frog that runs instead of hopping.
These bizarre and wildly
interesting creatures are just some of the 1,200 species of animals and
plants that have been documented for the first time by scientists in the
Gorongosa National Park, a stunning biodiversity haven in central
Mozambique.
In mid-April, a team of
15 local and international scientists ventured into the park's
spectacular rolling woodlands, deep gorges and riverine forests to
conduct the first comprehensive biodiversity survey in a remote and
largely unexplored area that was ravaged by years of war and poaching.
For about four weeks, the
biologists were transformed into nature detectives surveying the
Cheringoma Plateau, the part of the park that was least known
biologically. Armed with rubber boots, headlamps and a huge variety of
sophisticated equipment, they embarked on a painstaking mission to
document life in the area and discover the rare, threatened and
new-to-science species that live in it.
2 face charges in case of Canadian girl who hanged self after alleged rape
Two 18-year-old men face child pornography charges in connection with the case of a 17-year-old girl who hanged herself after she was allegedly gang-raped and bullied online, Canadian authorities said Thursday evening.
A police statement did
not provide details, but the family of Rehtaeh Parsons has said she
developed suicidal thoughts after she was sexually assaulted in 2011 and
a picture of the incident was shared by phone and online.
The two men whose names
were not released were arrested Thursday morning at their homes in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, according to Royal Canadian Mounted Police and
Halifax Regional Police.
One man faces two counts
of distribution of child pornography, authorities said. The other is
accused of one count of distribution of child pornography and one count
of making child pornography.
The two, who were minors at the time of the incident, were released on a promise to appear August 15 in youth court.
SHOCKING NEWS: CNN's Doctor Sanjay Gupta Now Wants Weed Legalized
CNN's chief medical expert Sanjay Gupta announced Wednesday night that he has reversed his blanket opposition to marijuana use.
Speaking to Piers Morgan, Gupta said he had previously helped to "mislead" the American public about the effects of the drug.
"I have apologized for some of the earlier reporting because I think, you know, we've been terribly and systematically misled in this country for some time," he said. "And I did part of that misleading."
He also wrote an op-ed called "Why I Changed My Mind On Weed." In it, he said that, while he had formerly derided medical marijuana supporters, he had done research that had shown him how beneficial it could be:
I mistakenly believed the Drug Enforcement Agency listed marijuana as a schedule 1 substance because of sound scientific proof. Surely, they must have quality reasoning as to why marijuana is in the category of the most dangerous drugs that have "no accepted medicinal use and a high potential for abuse."
They didn't have the science to support that claim, and I now know that when it comes to marijuana neither of those things are true. It doesn't have a high potential for abuse, and there are very legitimate medical applications. In fact, sometimes marijuana is the only thing that works.
