Not Being Able to Do Your Job Well Can Lead to Early Death

Not being able to do your job properly can kill you, or at least make you very ill. In Finland workers were interviewed to ascertain their perception of how well they can do their jobs.

The study began in 1981 with 5971, 44-58 years old employees being evaluated. By 2009, 1918 of them had died. It was found that perceived work ability did indeed predict health problems as workers aged.

Most troubling was the propensity for death among these subjects, particularly the blue-collar group. Indications are that such jobs have a high degree of manual labor involved. Being locked in with the danger of having to find even harder physical work with the loss of one's job inevitably led to more worry. On the other hand, not being able to do a job well could indicate underlying health problems that affected worker's abilities when they are in their forties

People With Moles Are Healthier

Scientists are looking to moles to enable Mankind to live longer. No, these are not the animal kind of moles. They are the moles one has on one's body - beauty moles. Rather than saying "Yuk, cover that up", we should be saying "You lucky thing."

It seems people with moles have benefits that others do not have. The bones in these lucky ones are, apparently, stronger than usual. It is also claimed that they have less wrinkles making them look up to a decade younger than "non-molers". The Heart, eyes and muscles are stronger as well.

The downside is the increased risk of skin cancer. Just live like Count Dracula, stay out of the light, and you should be laughing. Researchers are working on a way to turn moles off so they become less visible. This is good if you have the genes for moles, but what about the rest of us? There is no way we can get the benefits from moles which make the telomeres of white blood cells longer, thus slowing bone deterioration and preventing osteoporosis.

Off course the search for a cream to be applied to reduce noticeability of moles will not help the population at large. Having the gene is pure luck and no one is suggesting a human breeding program to increase the percentage of people with moles. Having more than 100 moles may be "healthy", but in the eyes of most they are definitely not beautiful.

More importantly, the research showed that drinking high levels of alcohol shortened white blood cell telomeres which made it more likely for people to develop chronic disease. This should have been discussed in more detail in the research paper

Australian and Mediterranean Great White Sharks Have the Same Ancestry

Luck pays a large part in evolution. Climate suddenly changes and if by chance a species of animal carries suitable genes to flourish in the new environment that animal lives on. Other species die off because they cannot cope.

New findings about the great white shark highlights this. Australian great whites and the Mediterranean type have genes that point to common ancestry. It is believed that a few related female sharks split up. Some going north to the Mediterranean from the larger gene pool in the south, or they peeled off from the main group in the Atlantic some going north the others going south. Narrow channels in the Mediterranean stopped this group from rejoining the Australian gene pool.

This happened 450,000 years ago. Mutations since that time make the timeline clear. It is believed that swordfish and tuna the main food of the great white also split off from the their main groups. Great white sharks followed the food supply.

Another Strange Thing on Planet Jupiter

Strange things are happening to the planet Jupiter. A few weeks ago its southern band faded from view. Now there has been a mysterious explosion on its surface. A bright spot was observed for several seconds. Last year's impact created damage on Jupiter that lasted for months. So the latest collision is only minor.

It is important news for those who move in "planetary" circles, however. The activity is proven because an observer Anthony Wesley, who discovered last year's impact scar, caught it on video. Another astronomer, Christopher Go, also has video of it.

Astronomers have to wait until Jupiter turns on its axis and shows the area again to see if there is lasting damage. Enthusiasts await processing of Anthony Wesley's video to evaluate what actually happened. Christopher Go's Video can be viewed here.

European Names Were Not Forced on Aboriginals

Aboriginals are barking up the wrong tree. Saying that White invaders forced name tags on them is a bit rich. Aboriginals gladly accepted European style names. An Australian who is 80 percent white taking an Aboriginal name is ridiculous, considering many do not speak any native tongue. They cannot opt out of registration of births. It is against the law.

Another thing is Aboriginals calling themselves a group of nations like the nation tribes of North America. Native Australians were spread across the land in very small tribes. They had no concept of federated nations. Communication only existed between neighboring tribes.

Too much has been made of the Mabo decision. This was based on tribal land rights over a piece of land that Aboriginals had always occupied. It does not apply to Aboriginals living in cities. The Mabo finding cannot apply to people who are more European than Aboriginal. Native Britons were invaded by foreigners with Celtic blood being diluted by inter-socialization. The same has occurred to Aboriginals. Virtually no full-blood Aboriginals exist today.
