Study: Space travel causes higher heart rates and more fainting in women than men




Excerpt from 
thespacereporter.com



Space travel has different health effects on men than it does on women, according to a recent study jointly conducted by NASA and by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI).
The study, which looked at 477 male astronauts and 57 female astronauts, all of whom had been to space up to June 2013, was conducted in anticipation of longer duration spaceflights in the future. One of these will include a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s.

Six working groups studied data from the spaceflights in which the astronauts had participated. They concentrated on cardiovascular, sensorimotor, behavioral, musculoskeletal, immunological, and reproductive systems and negative impacts on these due to having spent long periods in space.

In several of these areas, men appear to tolerate spaceflight better than women. Female astronauts tended to experience increased heart rates in times of stress and had higher rates of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), as well as higher rates of cancer caused by radiation, than their male counterparts.

After returning to Earth, women astronauts also had a harder time standing without fainting–a condition known as orthostatic intolerance–than did men.

Men were found to be more likely to experience loss of hearing and vision as consequences of space travel, the study indicated.

Behavioral responses appeared the same in both genders.

The study is reported in a recent issue of the Journal of Women’ Health.

Is this the origins of the Anunnaki story? ~ Neanderthals & humans first mated 50,000 years ago, DNA reveals


Early European
Universal human: This reconstruction is of a different modern human from Romania 43,000 years ago. But it gives some clues to what the Siberian man may have looked like. This population was not long out of Africa and genetically midway between Europeans and Asians
Excerpt from bbc.com
The genome sequence from a thigh bone found in Siberia shows the first episode of mixing occurred between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago.

The male hunter is one of the earliest modern humans discovered in Eurasia.

The study in Nature journal also supports the finding that our species emerged from Africa some 60,000 years ago, before spreading around the world.

The analysis raises the possibility that the human line first emerged millions of years earlier than current estimates.

"We seem to have caught evolution red handed”
Prof Svante Paabo Max-Plack Institute
The work of Prof Svante Paabo, from the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, is rewriting the story of humanity. Prof Paabo and his colleagues have pioneered methods to extract DNA from ancient human remains and read its genetic code. From this sequence, Prof Paabo has been able to decipher an increasingly detailed story of modern humans as they spread across the globe.

"The amazing thing is that we have a good genome of a 45,000 year old person who was close to the ancestor of all present-day humans outside Africa," Prof Paabo told BBC News. 

Prof Paabo has analysed DNA from part of a leg bone of a man that lived in Western Siberia around 45,000 years ago. This is a key moment at the cross roads of the world, when modern humans were on the cusp of an expansion into Europe and Asia.


Thigh bone

Prof Paabo Svante has unlocked the secrets contained in this femur from one of the earliest humans discovered out of Africa.
The key finding was that the man had large, unshuffled chunks of DNA from a now extinct species of human, Neanderthals who evolved outside of Africa. 

"Our analysis shows that modern humans had already interbred with Neanderthals then and we can determine when that first happened much more precisely than we could before." 

Prof Paabo and his team published research in 2010 which showed that all non-African humans today have Neanderthal DNA. But that genetic material has been broken into much smaller chunks over the generations. 

By extrapolating the size of DNA chunks backwards, Prof Paabo and his colleagues were able to calculate when the first interbreeding with Neanderthals occurred. His study shows that it was between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago.

According to Prof Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London, this early interbreeding might indicate when the ancestors of people living outside of Africa today made their first steps out of the continent in which our species evolved more than 150,000 years ago.

Prof Stringer was among those who believed that the first exit by modern humans from Africa that give rise to people outside of Africa today might have happened earlier, possibly 100,000 years ago. The evidence from Prof Paabo's research is persuading him that it was now much later.


River Irtysh

Crossroads for humanity: the river Irtysh in Western Siberia where the bone was found. 


Prof Paabo also compared the DNA of the man living 45,000 years ago with those living today. He found that the man was genetically midway between Europeans and Asians - indicating he lived close to the time before our species separated into different racial groups.

Prof Paabo was also able to estimate the rate at which human DNA has changed or mutated over the millennia. He found that it was slower than the rate suggested by fossil evidence and similar to what has been observed in families. 

"We have caught evolution red handed!" Prof Paabo said gleefully.
This raises the possibility that the very first species of the human line separated from apes 10 or 11 million years ago - rather than the five or six million years ago that genetic evidence had previously suggested. 

But he stressed in his research paper that much more analysis was needed before re-dating the emergence of the human line.

"We caution that (mutation) rates may have changed over time and may differ between human populations," he said.

Archeological Find of the Millennium!

Washed out by the recent rains, I came across this artefact this morning on the way to work. It was found near a pasture, with grazing cows and all, but definitely did not originate with this species. For that, optical corrosion dating indicates it was there for far too long:

 

more later, still writing as research continues.....

Preliminary Conclusion:

This must be what we would like to call Junk Transformer DNA: The striplike configuration and repetitive pattern indicate a tendence to return to their former spiral shape. However, logic dictates that in order to reach a higher information density, the material needs to be spatially folded rather than torqued. Normal biological DNA would leave by far too much space unused, so it stands to reason that this mechanical form of DNA is no longer helical but linear in shape, with regular indentations to allow for folding at specific intervals. 

Notice please the symbolic numeral codes used, and their self-similarity in the left digits:

These codes are numerical, and decimal. We would gather that this race has not yet reached it's full potential, since higher compression rates are definitely achievable using higher cardinality, or just larger character sets. Since these codes just increment regularly, we figure this particular strain of DNA does not have any significant function within the grander scheme of things.

The dark holes on the left are obviously start markers, indicating where the higher values can be found.  The fold at the right side indicates a halfway reference, signifying to the double redundancy these systems are equipped with. On the back there are similar markings for the backup system. 

We are excited at the prospect of trying to clone this system from the remaining partial codes. Our knowledge that the Cosmos is fractal and holographic, we figure that enough information can be gleamed off the sample to facilitate reconstruction....

(S)He'll be back !

El Morya – Exquisite Ascension Guidance & Life Cycles as Reflections of Soul Cycles

Channeler: Marie Mohler

Blessings friends! This is another beautiful channeling that came through this week. This light-filled message offers an exquisite, higher lens - through which to view our inner rising/ascension experiences. If you seek additional positive messages and/or channelings, please visit my website at www.shineyourlightgifts.com. Heart blessings and light today! Namaste, Marie

Dear Ones,

It is I, El Morya, Keeper of the Golden Flame. I am here to assist with the ascension process, as a keeper of this Sacred Flame and as an ascended master myself. All who seek to know the riches of the kingdom within will walk a similar path. Some by sea, some by storm, by rugged path, or by small stair-step fashion. But all who seek to know thy self – will walk the age-old journey – that brings them home.

Why? “Why?” – so many are asking. It is a fascinating concept – beyond most’s comprehension. But to a soul – that is perfect Source essence in every way . . . the desire to deeply know itself – calls into question – that which is NOT like itself. To understand light, is to call to understand dark-ness. To understand full, is to call to understand hungry or empty. To understand prosperity, is to call to understand poverty. Each of these shadow sides are simply that – the other side of all light. So on the other side, or on extensions, of light . . . exists these contrasts.

To a soul – whose warm-hearted perfect center is Source essence – a desire to know thy self bursts into the ethers – at some point in one’s development. At first, soul play and soul essence and soul existence are enough. But the soul graduates at some point – to a new bigger reality . . . of wanting to know more. Wanting to know deeper. Wanting to experience – and to know itself more deeply and more completely. Just as an infant likes to be held and satisfied completely by its loving parents, eventually . . . the baby child will feel called to break out beyond this loving protection, safety, and existence – by exploring . . . toddling . . . and beginning to take its own steps. Making its own choices. And so each of you, as perfect essences of Source . . . each – in your own Soul’s development – graduated – to wanting to know more of your own inner essence – by seeking to stray from this utopian safety and make choices . . . to experience choice. To experience creation. To experience contrast. To experience light and dark, and all shades in between. For experiencing is a deeper form of knowing. By experiencing – a soul grows into a new level of becoming . . . Becoming EXPANDED Source Essence.

Expanded Source Essence is different you see from Beginning Source Essence – because it experientially knows more of its truer self. Make sense?

So as infants rest in the comfort of having all needs perfectly provided – toddlers begin their desire to choose for themselves their experiences. Tasting everything. Trying. Working. Moving. Maneuvering. Attempting. Falling. Getting up again. Attempting Anew. This is the journey that in many ways is what takes place in 3rd Dimension. It is the journey that represents these aspects of the human lifespan.

Only mastery, in this context, requires a soul’s expansion to rise to a stage – where they see again – through human physical eyes . . . the inner eyes once more --- that recognize the chosen path of "experiencing" – to better know one’s true self. An ascending master begins to remember – its own Source Seed origins. It remembers how all was one, and true, and perfect – when infinitely and eternally connected to Source and Source embrace. An ascending master sees through new eyes once more – without returning to infancy. But [rather] in choosing a conscious rebirth; As One IS – and "The New" – [that] One is expanding to become. A new graduation unfolds for the rebirthing soul. A graduation that cumulatively collects all wisdoms of the earth’s evolutionary journey, and begins to look for the new inner rising experience unfolding within – that fully promises to bring new expansion experiences. To the soul, there is nothing more delightful than to expand itself. For in expanding itself, it is deepening its sense of Source within. It is becoming an expanded sense of Source Essence itself. Each of us then is a growing, expanding, evolving unlimited essence of Source essence. And as we expand, so too does Source energy itself. Every expansion brings expansion. And the cycle and circles grow, and continue . . . rippling infinitely and eternally – bringing more and more of the core Source essence in all of us – TO LIGHT!

So – why? “Why” is the question many ask today. And today I say – think of your sense of self as an infant. While you liked the safety and security of your early embrace, did you not love the freedom and independence of toddlerhood? And thus expanded then – in girl or boyhood, or childhood? And then more and more – expanding your experiencing in bigger and newer and broader ways – as teenagers? And again – graduating to even more experiences and expansions – in early adulthood? And then maybe [onward] to birth a cycle of witnessing and nurturing your own children’s cycles of expansion and experiencing. To watch and participate in their expansion and unfolding. To ultimately know your self more deeply and truly.

The life cycle itself is a wondrous example of your journeys here, and their purpose. To assist your deepening experience of your Source Essence within your essence.

And now – as many of you are individually and collectively awakening, rising, and re-collecting the gifts of all this wondrous experimentation, experiencing, and expansion, it calls you once more to go within – to your Source Seed within – to tune into the new birth on the horizon . . . in the womb of your own Soul’s desires.

This is the platform of viewing life on this earth planet at this time. Many are seeing their soul desires [already] expanded . . . which is calling out a greater desire – to expand in community. To expand in group consciousness. To release the consciousness of Source separation and other-separation. And to expand into a greater state of Source-beingness with other Source-beings, [who are] also experiencing and expanding Source-beingness.

On this platform, you may be seeing others in different stages of life cycle development, chronologically and soulful-logically. Allow this all to be. It is the divine design. There is Source perfection in all that is.

An ascending master – sees without – the power of a Source Seed’s desires to expand itself – in all aspects of contrast to its original Light. And an ascending master – hears within – its own timing – coordinating with the infinite sense of group timing – that a developmental or essence-tial leap is upon and within them. Ready to burst forth – in new birth – of new desires – to more deeply know its Source essence through an expanded sense of Source-beingness, in higher rates and vibrations of love, . . . now that the contrast of the light is deeply known to them.

When Source-essence-energies act in good intentions of light and love and greater good for all, an expanded experience of the richness of Source in the inner kingdom of all becomes the greatest desire . . . and the drawn experience. The soul then rises into a new earth experience, or new birth experience, with a new level of sight, and an expanded sense of Source essence and perfection in the All That Is.

Judgment fades from consciousness, for Light is the inward sight - and this outer expansion experience. Light is all there is. And Light becomes the teaching tool for this stage of Soul-Mastery, reflected within the hearts of all joined in conscious, loving, co-creation together.

For now – this is a time of practice – to release judgment of the contrast. To honor it as a part of all souls’ journeys – to expand in depth of knowledge . . . of the soul as Source. And to further attend and focus on the Light – as much as can be found – in all things. These are the birthing practices – that help [and ease] the labor involved – in producing a new inner vision and a new earth’s birth.

We are ALL Ascending Masters. Just in different aspects and angles of the life cycle process – that birth’s higher and higher levels of consciousness . . . and Light in All That Is.

Call on the Golden Flame – if you find yourself in need – in a situation of darkness – [where you are] without a quick light to see – [in order] to release the contrast in your experience. The Golden Flame thus is an Ascension Flame – for all on the path of releasing and rising – to be their greater inner Source Flame. Expanded and more deeply known now within.

That is Grace. That is Prosperity. That is why we all make these incredible journeys. And this rediscovery to YOU – is as great – as the first baby steps for a soul JUST entering third dimensional awareness and experience.

So you see – Compassion is having True Sight in all things – even if no light appears to exist. Hold your Light. Be your Light. And allow it to fill your sight and full experiences.

Blessings One and All! A great message of heart – this is for All! Namaste.

Lyriad Meteor Shower Peaks on Earth Day April 22

Sorry this info is late..... 

Dré

"The best time to look will be between the time of moonset [between 1 and 2 a.m., local time] and dawn, and the best way to observe the show is to recline comfortably, facing anywhere from north to east and gazing nearly overhead," Cook said. news.nationalgeographic.com

Andrew Fazekas

for National Geographic News

Published April 19, 2010

For the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, nature will be setting off some fireworks, with the peak of the annual Lyrid meteor shower arriving on April 22.

While the Lyrids might not be cosmic celebrities like August's showy Perseids, the April meteor shower has been known to offer up a surprise or two for sky-watchers

(Related: "Comet 'Shower' Killed Ice Age Mammals?")

"Although the Lyrids have been observed since 687 B.C., the behavior of the shower from year to year is unpredictable," said Anthony Cook, an astronomer for the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.

"An average Lyrid shower produces between 10 and 20 meteors per hour, but occasionally these rates increase to 90 per hour," Cook said. "In 1803 the shower produced about a thousand meteors per hour"—just enough to qualify as a meteor storm.

How to See the Lyrid Meteors

This year, Lyrid meteor activity began picking up on April 16, and the shower will run until April 25.

The Earth Day peak will actually come in the early morning hours of April 22, after the first quarter moon has sunk below the horizon, leaving dark skies. (Test your lunar smarts with our moon quiz.)

"The best time to look will be between the time of moonset [between 1 and 2 a.m., local time] and dawn, and the best way to observe the show is to recline comfortably, facing anywhere from north to east and gazing nearly overhead," Cook said.

"The best location is a region far from urban light pollution with a fairly open horizon."

Lyrids to Be a Sprinkle or a Storm?

The Lyrids' "shooting stars" will appear to radiate from around the brilliant star Vega in the shower's namesake constellation Lyra.

Vega now shines nearly overhead in the predawn hours for stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere skies, the Lyrids will produce just a sprinkling of meteors.

As with other annual meteor showers, the Lyrids are thought to be caused by debris left over from a passing comet. When Earth passes through the trail of particles—most no bigger than grains of sand—the tiny rocks burn up in our atmosphere, creating bright streaks.

(Related: "'Major,' Green Meteor Lights Midwest Night Sky," with video.)

The Lyrids have been linked to the periodic comet Thatcher, which has an orbit that's skewed nearly perpendicular to the plane of the solar system, the tabletop-like plane along which the planets orbit.

The dearth of planets along the comet's path means that its debris trail stays relatively stable, which is most likely why the Lyrids have been a reliable meteor shower for centuries.

But sometimes Earth passes through a particularly dense clump of cometary leftovers, and that's when meteor rates skyrocket.

So are sky-watchers this year in for a sprinkle or a storm?

"The only way to know what the Lyrids have in store for you," Cook said, "is to go outside and observe them."

Eckhart Talks About Morality

Question: Most spiritual traditions have a strong emphasis on morality.  What role does morality play in your teachings?

Eckhart Tolle: The main aim of this teaching is to transcend the Ego, the Ego being a false sense of self, a false sense of identity.  Morality is important in many traditional teachings because those teachings have not gone beyond Ego, so they still function within the framework of the Ego.

If you live in a society that is inhabited by Egos, you need certain external rules of behavior and regulations so that there is not absolute chaos.  What you need then is commandments, or laws that need to be in place so that the Ego does not create absolute chaos in the world.  The emphasis of this teaching is to transcend the Ego so that a different state of consciousness arises, we call it “presence”.  

Once this state of consciousness operates, external rules and regulations are not really needed anymore, because a knowing of what is right and wrong arises from within you, and you are no longer able to inflict suffering on others because the illusion of absolute separateness between who you are and who another human being is, has disappeared.  You are no longer trapped in that illusion, so you know that ultimately, whatever you are doing to another, you are doing to yourself.   Most importantly, there is love as the recognition of the other as yourself - the recognition of oneness.  Once that is the basis of your life, you don’t need rules or regulations anymore because that arises directly and spontaneously from within you.  

One could say that all you need to do is to be in that state of love, which is not conventional love, but the recognition of non-separation, recognition of the ultimate Oneness of all beings.  Once that is there, then the right conduct flows naturally from within you.  You don’t need to memorize the commandments anymore to tell you what’s right and wrong.  The emphasis of this teaching is transcending the Ego, and once that’s done, morality arises from within.  The emphasis of this teaching is not on morality because that comes as really the effect of the transformation.  It is the effect of the inner transformation.   The emphasis of this teaching is not on morality, but on something deeper, out of which true morality flows.
