Elixir of Eternal Life!

...
The president of Kazakhstan has asked scientists to invent an elixir of eternal life. He is 70 years old and feels great, having governed for 20 years with an iron hand a country the size of Western Europe, and nothing can stop him from doing that for the next ten years, according to La Stampa, indicating that the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has recently asked how can he manage to remain loved by almost the entire population of his country.

"I saw the results of an independent survey, which states that 92% of the Kazakhs love and respect him!"-Berlusconi exclaimed, with envy.

But like any powerful leader, Nursultan Nazarbayev cannot control one thing: time irreversible transition, more specifically, life and death. Thus, in a speech at a university in Astana, Nazarbayev urged the scientists of the new research institute in Kazahstan to study the "rejuvenation of the body" and "human genome, the production of human tissues and the creation of gene-based drugs."

The leader from Astana expressed his desire saying that: "People my age hope that this will happen as soon as possible". Some months ago, at a meeting of the governmental Commission for science and research, he had set the task to "ïnvent a remedy against old age and to develop methods for natural rejuvenation and immortality."

win a $200 amazon gift card and support Stanford startup - oh boy!
Hi, my name is Maya Odei, and I recently finished my freshman year at Stanford (B.S. chemical engineering '16). This summer, my team ...and I worked hard to complete roomrr .com.

Roomrr is a safe marketplace where owners of unused space list their space, and renters book that space directly from the owners, in order to store their belongings.

You're the first to have access to roomrr - you must have a Stanford email address to register. So if you have any extra space that could be used for self-storage, whether it be a large empty basement or a small closet, why not open it up for rent to a fellow member of the Stanford community by listing it on roomrr .com? Extend a helping hand, connect with other awesome members of the Stanford community, and make money while doing nothing.

Be one of the first 100 people to list or rent self-storage space on roomrr. com for a chance to win a $200 amazon gift card, a brand new iPad, or a $25 Starbucks gift card.

As we head towards the future, one of the greatest human concerns is maximizing earth’s resources. We at roomrr hope to play a small role in helping to make self-storage more efficient. Join us in efficiency and list your unused space today!

For answers to any questions, please visit roomrr. com or contact me personally.

Stanford support and love,
Maya

Vote/Support "YES" on California Prop 37 to require labeling of GMO Food-It's your right to know what is in your food supply. Keep your families safe. Make the mega companies accountable. Tell your fr...iends--this affects all States and must go through NOW! Tell people to register to vote for Prop 37 even if they don't want to vote for anything else. COPY/REPOST!!! It's your life! Changing food that God already made perfect is against God/Nature.
GMO = God Move Over!
Yes on 37! Yes on 34 to end the Death Penalty!

***MTV IS NOW CASTING FOR TV SHOW FEATURING ROOMMATES WITH ANNOYING AND UNUSUAL HABITS***

We are currently casting for a new reality TV show that seeks to showcase people who are constantly tortured... by their prankster, goofball roommates for their own show. Are you fed up with your roommate’s ways? Does your roommate drive you crazy with their never ending, annoying, obnoxious pranks? Do you wish he or she would just move out??!! Does your blood pressure rise every time you hear your roommate come home? Do you lose sleep at night because they are driving you insane with their annoying, non-stop, childish behavior? Interesting and charismatic personalities are a must.

If you, or someone you know, has a roommate with non-stop obnoxious behaviors who is always pulling annoying pranks, or has quirky, unique habits that drive you insane, we encourage you to apply!

If you are interested in the project, please email the following to Roommatecast2 @ gmail.com:

Contact information (name, phone number, email)
Pictures (of yourself AND your roommate, but do NOT disclose to your roommate that you are submitting for the show)
City and state in which you live
A short paragraph telling us exactly why you are aggravated with your roommate and why they need to change their ways or move out. Be specific!

“The history of dispossession and forced labor in this country means that many people of color encounter agricultural spaces as sites of trauma and oppression,” said Natasha Mmonatau, instructor for a course on organic gardening and racial justice. “Healing our relationship with land takes acknowledging that history but also revisiting spaces that might not be comfortable.” http://stanford.io/2FKVBxL

"The U.S. is producing record levels of crude oil, so why would we flood the market with more oil from more expensive, more environmentally risky offshore operations?" says @StanfordWoods Senior Fellow Deborah Sivas.

If federal plans move forward, most U.S. coastal waters would be open to offshore oil drilling. Stanford Professors Deborah Sivas and Alexandria Boehm look at related legal and marine issues from the perspective of the California coastline, which has been protected from new drilling since 1969.

“We need to apply clear and consistent scientific criteria to regulations to ensure that all Americans have access to a clean water supply regardless of which state they live in,” said study co-author Rob Jackson.

<p>Inconsistent or vague definitions of “protected groundwater” in 17 state oil and gas reg’s leave the nation’s water supply vulnerable to contamination from oil and gas production. </p>

What do radio glaciologists want? Observations beneath kilometers of ice at the scale of a continent. When do they want them? All the time. Dustin Schroeder and colleagues are working to build custom radar sensors at a low cost to understand how much ice melt will contribute to sea-level rise in the future.

Antarctica is a vast and dynamic place, but radar technologies -- from World War II-era film to state-of-the-art miniaturized sensors -- are enabling scientists to observe and understand changes beneath the continent's ice in unprecedented detail.
