Enjoy Longevity - 300 Years When: 10 Jul, 2011 4:30pm / 28 Aug, 2011 7pm Where: Cinema, Hong Kong Film Archive The introduction of television in the 1970s brought about a reshuffling of orders in popular culture. Perhaps the most significant is that the bad. Enjoy Longevity-300 Years (1975) Country: Hong Kong Genre: Drama Release Date: 12/03/1975 Director Richard Yeung Kuen Script Richard Yeung Kuen Producer Hendrick Gozali Cast Tam Bing-Man Lau Yat-Fan Lee Heung-Kam Au-Yeung Pui-San. Over the next 300 years, cacoa was studied by botanists, physicians, and travelers. Longevity was added to its list of benefits in the mid 1600s, according to Grivetti's team, by a prominent Spanish physician, who claimed drinking it 'yields good nourishment to. While many look forward to retiring, the best way to enjoy one’s golden years may be to keep working. Among the men who were subjects of Harvard’s famed Longevity Project.How Long Did Dinosaurs Live? The fact is, estimating the life span of the average sauropod or tyrannosaur involves drawing upon numerous strands of evidence, including analogies with modern reptiles, birds and mammals, theories about dinosaur growth and metabolism, and (preferably) direct analysis of the pertinent dinosaur bones. Before anything else, of course, it helps to determine the cause of death of any given dinosaur. Given the locations of certain fossils, paleontologists can often figure out if the unlucky individuals were buried by avalanches, drowned in floods, or smothered by sandstorms; also, the presence of bite marks in solid bone can indicate that the dinosaur was killed by predators (though it. Even more tantalizingly, some species of birds- -which are the direct descendants of dinosaurs- -also have long life spans. Swans and turkey buzzards can live for over 1. With the exception of humans, mammals post relatively undistinguished numbers- -about 7. Part of the reason a giant tortoise can live so long is that it has an extremely slow metabolism; it's a matter of debate whether all dinosaurs were equally cold- blooded. Also, with some important exceptions (such as parrots), smaller animals tend to have shorter life spans, so the average 2. Velociraptor might have been lucky to live beyond a decade or so. Conversely, larger creatures tend to have longer life spans- -but just because a Diplodocus was 1. Since homeothermy is consistent with a cold- blooded metabolism- -and since a fully warm- blooded (in the modern sense) Apatosaurus would have cooked itself from the inside out like a giant potato- -a life span of 3. What about smaller dinosaurs? Here the arguments are murkier, and complicated by the fact that even small, warm- blooded animals (like parrots) can have long life spans. Most experts believe that the life spans of smaller herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs were directly proportional to their sizes- -for example, the chicken- sized Compsognathus might have lived for five or 1. Allosaurus might have topped out at 5. However, if it can be conclusively proved that any given dinosaur was warm- blooded, cold- blooded, or something in between, these estimates would be subject to change. Dinosaur Life Spans - Reasoning by Bone Growth. You might think that an analysis of actual dinosaur bones would help clear up the issue of how fast dinosaurs grew and how long they lived, but frustratingly, this isn't the case. As the biologist R. E. H. Reid writes in The Complete Dinosaur, . The trouble is, everything we know about cold- blooded metabolism is inconsistent with this pace of growth, which may well mean that Hypacrosaurus in particular (and large, herbivorous dinosaurs in general) had a type of warm- blooded metabolism, and thus maximum life spans well below the 3. By the same token, other dinosaurs seem to have grown more like crocodiles and less like mammals- -at a slow and steady pace, without the accelerated curve seen during infancy and adolescence. Sarcosuchus, the 1. If sauropods followed this pattern, that would be indicative of a cold- blooded metabolism, and their estimated life spans would once again edge up toward the multiple- century mark. So what can we conclude? Clearly, until we establish more details about the metabolism and growth rates of various genera, any serious estimates of dinosaur life spans have to be taken with a gigantic grain of prehistoric salt! Longevity and Nutrition Library Having a healthy population makes focusing on healing sickness far less important. And it is far easier to prevent degeneration than to remedy it. This library collection is concerned with the question 'what makes people healthy?'.
