Health and Fitness Facts and Myths Exposed | Free Press Release

Posted on 31 May 2012. Tags: health, Mens Health, nutrition, supplements and Vitamins, womens health

Of course there are truths about health and fitness, but not all "lies" are actually untrue. Each person?s body reacts differently to exercise. It is not always true for all people. Everyone should deal with information and question truths on a case by case basis. You never know what may be uncovered by doing some research, so ideally you should take the time to research and learn. Here is some solidly researched information about health and fitness, and what is true and maybe? less than true.

You?ve probably heard that swimming is good for losing weight. This is a fallacy. Swimming has many benefits but losing pounds isn?t one of them. The simple reason for that has to do with the buoyancy of water. When you swim, the water supports your weight, and that means you will not be working as hard as you would be if you were jogging or running long distance. One myth that needs to be squashed now is that you have to work out hard to gain benefit from your exercise routine, this is not true, even simple exercise can give you big benefits. But the experience and wisdom of many states that you won?t know that until much later. You will find out the next day and possibly peaking the day after that. What this describes is someone who?s been inactive for a while and decides they need to hit the gym with gusto to get fit in a hurry, they often feel sore and give up shortly after. To avoid the above situation take it slow, don?t rush yourself and above all else consult your doctor first.

The mental horse power you?ll gain from your exercise routine is undisputable. In other words, working out helps to make your brain more powerful and operate at a higher level of performance.

Research has shown that regular exercise has a great effect on blood circulation. There is much research available that proves circulation will improve serotonin levels in the brain as well. Mental acuity is a proven benefit of increased serotonin levels in the brain. We find this increased mental acuity intriguing.

It is well worth it to learn as much as possible concerning what is true or not in health and fitness. Whether or not you realize it this is important. You?re making the extra effort to exercise, be sure you know how to do it right. This way you get the optimal benefit to your exercise program.

Amid bribery scandal, Wal-Mart talks integrity

By Jessica Wohl and Lisa Baertlein, Reuters

FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas -- ?Top executives of Wal-Mart Stores Inc did not directly mention a Mexican bribery scandal at an employee pep rally on Wednesday, but asked their international workers to focus on "integrity" as a core value.

The world's largest retailer has been under fire from shareholders and activists after the New York Times reported in April that management at Wal-Mart de Mexico, or Walmex, allegedly orchestrated bribes of $24 million to help it grow quickly last decade and that Wal-Mart's top brass tried to cover it up.

The matter is being investigated by a number of government agencies in Mexico and the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Wal-Mart is also conducting an internal probe.

Executives talked around the allegations in Mexico, the company's first and largest international market. They referenced integrity as one of the company's core values and underscored the importance of complying with local laws.

"It's doing the right thing, every single day," Wal-Mart President and Chief Executive Officer Mike Duke told international workers gathered at the University of Arkansas' Barnhill Arena.

Doug McMillon, president and CEO of Walmart International, said it was up to every employee -- from new associates to top executives -- to guard the company's principles.

"If you see something in your business that you don't think is right, you need to say something," McMillon said.

Scot Rank, president and CEO, Walmart Mexico and Central America, may have come the closest to directly on the allegations, without specifically mentioning bribery.

"Over the years we have faced difficult and challenging times in Mexico and Central America. These events have united us even more, they have motivated us to continue, to continue pursuing excellence, and work with respect and integrity," Rank said at the end of the Mexico and Central America unit's presentation.

Wal-Mart's focus in China, the world's fastest-growing major economy, will be on expanding the right way, Scott Price, president and CEO of Walmart Asia, said earlier in the morning.

"We have to be compliant, we have to follow every rule, every regulation in the country," Price said.

Shareholders, including some of the largest U.S. public pension funds, have called for Duke, former Wal-Mart Stores CEO Lee Scott, Chairman Robson "Rob" Walton and others to be ousted from the company's board of directors in the wake of the Mexico scandal. But such efforts have little chance of succeeding because the family of founder Sam Walton controls roughly half of Wal-Mart's shares and votes.

More than 1,300 international employees traveled to northwest Arkansas for this week's events, which culminate in Friday's annual shareholders meeting.

During Wednesday's meeting, as in previous years, a selection of top international employees were given "Integrity in Action" awards.

Despite the bribery allegations, this year's celebration is still expected to be an upbeat affair. Wal-Mart is marking 50 years since Walton opened the first Walmart store on July 2, 1962, and at Wednesday's meeting representatives from Chile played a video of employees in that country singing "Happy Birthday."

Company shares, which have more than rebounded from the roughly 8 percent drop in the days following the New York Times Mexico story, are trading near all-time highs. The stock was up 16 cents at $65.84 at midday on Wednesday after rising to $65.95.

Abstract URL:http://www.it-paper.com/the-research-of-multimedia-courseware-to-the-promotion-of-the-vocational-school-on-computer-skills-training-5.html

Since the beginning of the implementation of multimedia courseware,it develops rapidly and it will soon at classroom. At the same time, it optimizes the education in the classroom.However, nowadays, there are some problems on computer skills training classes of vocational education. First, there are too much intensive skills training but neglect the implementation of knowledge correlative to skills. Second, we lack places for skills training. Third, we lack layered skills training. When we encounter these problems, the purpose of our research is to know how we can make multimedia courseware promote computer skills training effectively.The research is based on multimedia courseware, emotional psychology and constructivism theoretically. It is carried out by many methods: reference method, action study, experimentation, comparison and investigation.We propose the principle of learner-centered in designing and using multimedia courseware. Follow seven principles of multimedia teaching which are motioned in the book,?Multimedia Learning?, and they are based on our research. These principles are: multimedia cognition, near in space and time, uniformity, channel, redundancy and individual differences.According to practical research, we can come to a conclusion that multimedia courseware of promoting computer skills training must possess some characteristics below.1. It has a situation for skills training and can create a rich, relaxing atmosphere of learning.2. Our multimedia courseware should have strong interactivity and evaluation.3. It should have strong guidance in skills and make learning and training synchronous.4. Multimedia courseware should be controlled by students but not control the students. They can choose it freely.

Sandwalk: The Business of Online Education

John Hawks is interested in putting his lecture on the internet [My foray into online education]. I'll eventually get around to discussing whether this is a good idea or not. Today I want to question his sources.

John Hawks quotes an article by someone named Robert Tracinski as evidence that online education is the wave of the future. Let''s look at that article.

Robert Tracinski writes for The Intellectual Activist, which describes itself like this ...

The Intellectual Activist is especially dedicated to understanding and promoting the revolutionary ideas of the 20th-century novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand ? the great champion of the power of reason, the supreme value of the individual, and the unfettered liberty of a capitalist society. TIA serves as a forum for those who are working to gain a deeper understanding of Ayn Rand's fiction and philosophy and applying her ideas to gain new insights in every field of human knowledge.

Rober Tracinski has been called The Intellectual Leader of the Tea Party.

The article in question was published on a website called Real Clear markets: Bigger than Facebook. Now, I'm familiar with most of the leading education websites but this is a new one for me. I also know many of the experts in undergraduate education but I wasn't aware of Richard Tracinski before today. Oh well, if John Hawks thinks he's worth reading then I'll read the article.

Here's what Tracinski has to say ...

Let's put it this way: if you can build a $100 billion company by using the Internet to replace the college yearbook--imagine what you can do if you use the Internet to replace college.

That's what is just beginning to happen. It all became official when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology appointed as its new president the guy who is responsible for MITx, the school's free online education program.

So far nobody has replaced the college textbook, as far as I know [Free/Cheap Textbooks for Students]. (Trust me, I would know if that happened.) That's not a very good beginning.

It's also not very encouraging that he brings up the MIT experiment since that has not proven to be very successful [On the Quality of Online Courses]. It looks like Tracinski has fallen for the standard hype that just because MIT offers free online courses, colleges are doomed.

What makes MITx so interesting is that it isn't just a bunch of lectures posted online. It also includes discussion groups and coursework and a certification program for completion of the work. My first thought when they launched MITx was that it's a little unclear how such a "certificate" differs from a "degree." In turn, that raises questions about how universities are going to be able to keep on jacking up their tuition every year and expecting that students go $100,000 in debt, when so much top-quality education is becoming available for free.

First, there's no evidence that what MIT is offering counts as "quality education." I doubt that Tracinski would know the difference between quality education and a teapot. Second, students who are willing to pay huge tuition fees probably see something of value beyond what they could get by sitting in their bedrooms watching a computer monitor. Maybe the pubs near Harvard Yard really are more exciting than your parent's house in the suburbs of Kansas City?

Thirdly, the discussion about online education goes far beyond the United States of America. If you're going to develop an argument based on capitalist principles then you're forced to ignore all those students in countries where high tuition fees aren't much of an impediment.

The article notes that the new president's main job will be to raise money: "Left unspoken were the unquestionable expectations for Mr. Reif as a powerhouse fund raiser. MIT raised $3 billion over the course of Ms. Hockfield's presidency, and the university is preparing to embark on a new capital campaign." Well, that's one potentially viable new business model: raise billions in donations so that you can use the Internet to offer a top-quality education to a huge number of people for free.

One thing is clear. If you're going to MIT for the sole purpose of taking classes on campus then why would you do that if the school claims to be offering classes of equal quality online?

That's one heck of a "business plan." Give up all tuition income and rely on alumni and businesses to fund free online education!

But there are other business models, too. Newsweek just reported on the start-up of Coursera, a kind of free, online Ivy League college.

"Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng believe the Internet should allow millions of people to receive first-class educations at little or no cost....

"So far they've signed up volunteer professors from Stanford, Princeton, University of Michigan, and University of Pennsylvania. Coursera will offer 35 courses in subjects ranging from math and computer science to world history and contemporary American poetry. These aren't just videotaped lectures; they're full courses, with homework assignments, examinations, and grades"

Let's make one thing perfectly clear. No matter what you might think of online courses in the humanities, mathematics, and computer science. It's not possible to teach most science courses online. The labs are really hard to do when you are a thousand miles away from the test tubes, chemicals, centrifuges, and fossils. You simply can't get a quality education in the sciences without experiencing the lab component of the courses.

Of course, that's of no significance to Robert Tracinski because he probably doesn't think you need to be scientifically literate in order to get an undergraduate degree.

Note that this, too, is so far being run as a charity, though it is the instructors who are donating their time. But Coursera is also backed by Silicon Valley venture capitalists, and the most interesting part of the story is that they're starting to home in on the central economic factor that accounts for the value of higher education: its function as a kind of corporate head-hunter.

"Coursera doesn't pay its professors, and it has yet to dream up a way to generate revenue, though as Ng says, 'If you're changing the lives of millions of people, there will be a way to make money from that at some point.' One possibility involves charging companies for helping them find qualified job applicants"

Consider what a radical advance this would be for young people: not only is your education free, but it includes a job-placement service.

Now I get it. It's bad enough that universities are coming under the influence of large corporations, now the goal is to cut out the middle man and just have the corporations directly fund a company to prepare their future employees.

I wonder if John Hawks realizes that anthropology might not be one of the courses that major corporations want their employees to take? It certainly looks like biochemistry is going to disappear since we can't train biochemists over a high speed modem connection.

It's certainly a much better deal than the old system. I just came across an argument that it's immoral to offer unpaid internships, which actually prepare young people for a career. Yet somehow it's considered perfectly normal to charge someone $100,000 or more for a degree from a college that has deliberately neglected to ensure that its service has any marketable value.

So the purpose of a university is to prepare students for a career but many universities are charging a lot of money and not preparing students for a career? We can fix this by offering free online courses designed and funded by Silicon Valley venture capitalists?perhaps with the help of Ayn Rand and the Tea Party?

If this business plan is successful, it could do wonders for universities in Canada and other countries. Not only would we get an influx of liberal-minded American students, but our own graduates would become increasingly attractive to many American employers who don't buy into this corporate takeover of universities.

I don't know if either of these new business models--MITx or Coursera--is going to become the new model for higher education. Maybe both will be. But a lot of people are now at work on this problem, and they will eventually come up with the right combination to burst the higher education bubble and take down existing universities in the same way that the Internet has taken down the old newspaper publishing business.

I'm beginning to see why people like Robert Tracinski are so appealing to the American right wing. It's because they are stupid.

There's much more but I'm getting nauseous. Let me just close with this ...

One of the radical changes I think we will see is the decoupling of the humanities from technical and professional education. As it is, universities package together two forms of education with radically different economics. Scientific, technological, and professional courses teach skills that are judged by objective standards and have direct, measurable economic value.

The humanities, at best, have an economic value that is indirect and difficult to quantify. Perhaps it will make you more creative and a deeper thinker. Maybe Steve Jobs sitting in on classes in calligraphy helped inspire the Macintosh. But then again, the humanities departments are also packed with a bunch of charlatans who will waste your time with things like--well, here's an example. Check out a hilarious review by Joe Queenan of an impossibly pretentious and utterly nonsensical academic tome on the deeper meaning of that important subject, Harpo Marx.

As someone who came out of the humanities departments--I have a degree in philosophy--I assure you that this sort of thing goes on all the time, and your tuition dollars are paying for it. Obviously, there is no reason why they should pay for it, so eventually they won't.

How to Invest in Oil Stocks

Want to know how to invest in oil stocks like a seasoned tycoon? Ready for that ?black gold? to earn portfolio profits like never before? Then don?t look to crude oil or archaic well drilling methods for potential stock plays. Instead, consider the fracking revolution, which has is driving the oil industry towards a major economic shift.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing of underground shale rock, is allowing oil companies to attain the massive amounts of natural gas that were previously unreachable. Absolute Wealth is aiding investors and teaching them the specifics about which companies related to fracking are deserving of further inspection as profitable stock picks.

The help is arriving in the form of a new Special Report, ?Sideways Oil: How ?Fracking? is Re-Establishing the U.S. as an Oil Power and How You Can Profit.? It is the quintessential guide to investing in fracking companies offered up by the team of financial experts at Absolute Wealth. They?ve consulted a number of oil industry aces, stock insiders, and veteran energy analysts to compile the most informative Special Report on fracking.

Besides the obvious drilling companies, other stocks representing support companies are showing signs of strong earning potential. Equipment makers, technology firms, and even trucking companies are seeing an increase in production. Luckily, ?Sideways Oil? provides readers with exclusive information regarding which ones should be highly considered as winning investments.

Even sand is becoming a critical resource, since fracking involves mixing it with water and chemicals to inject into underground rock and release the supplies of gas and oil within. Companies that mine sand (as strange as that sounds) are providing fracking companies with the supplies they need, driving the prices up in the process.

An article from The Street said that ?More than 6.5 million metric tons of sand worth $319 million was sold or used in 2009, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and that likely doubled in 2010, the USGS told the AP, though the 2009 data is its most recent public report on fracking sand.?

Anything that makes sand that expensive is certainly a game-changing revolution. As the energy industry struggles to find reliable sources outside of the crude oil it?s become so dependent on, fracking is proving itself as a viable replacement. If America continues leaning towards the cleaner, more efficient fossil fuels, then fracking is going to keep gathering momentum. That momentum will translate into quality investment potential, which is why Absolute Wealth is taking it upon itself to provide useful information for traders of all experience levels.

The fracking industry is creating waves in the energy sector, and letting smart investors ride them to the possibility of major income generation. ?Sideways Oil? gives investors the knowledge bank they need to enter the fracking stock market with confidence and assurance. To find out how to invest in oil stocks, look to the Special Report for all the most relevant information. Learn more by visiting this website.

It was a gift many moons ago [at least 30 years]. I just found it while going through some stuff that's been packed away for a bunch of years.

I thought it was quite unique when we got it and I still think it's a pretty good conversation piece.

Anyone interested in making one, let me know and I'll send the dimensions. I think it would look really nice in cherry or birds eye maple.

Didn't notice the title of the thread before I posted. Of course it should say WINE.

Raising Capital Funding for your New Small Business Venture and ...

Fortunately for start-Up small businesses and new development projects in South Africa today, raising Venture Capital funding has become easy and available to all new start-up small businesses and new development projects showing possibilities for increasing growth and potential for high profitability.

Venture Capital Funding Venture Capital Funding ? What Is It? Venture Capital funding is the process of providing finance to start-up companies, or businesses planning expansion, by a group of high net worth individuals, or institutions, who are in possession of great amounts of ready capital. Investments are made through venture capital (VC) firms in return for company shares, and promise of substantial gain on invested capital. Venture capital funding is provided to only selected projects, typically ventures that are capable of giving good returns on investments and those that clarify an exit event after a period of 3 to 7 years. High growth potential companies are likely to attract venture capital funding more than companies without any well-defined plan for expansion. Owing to various other factors as well, venture capitalists may ultimately invest in only one out of 400 venture projects. Venture Capital Firms Most companies, when they start, do not have sufficient capital to fund their businesses. Their limited operating history, insufficient market experience and small capacity causes most capital investors in public markets and banks to reject applications for funds and loans. Excluding options like personal savings and business profits to launch businesses, most company owners turn to venture capital firms to meet their investment requirements. What are Venture Capital Firms? Venture capital firms are made up of venture capitalists, or venture capital investors (also general partners of the venture capital firms), who are typically a wealthy group of investors or an institution in possession of large amounts of capital. This capital is available from private or state pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies, financial endowments from universities, foundations, etc, and is reserved for small business ventures that show promise of growth and high returns on investment within five to seven years. Venture Capital Trusts Venture Capital Trusts ? What Are They? Venture capital trusts or VCTs are exceedingly tax-efficient closed-end composite investment schemes in the United Kingdom. Venture capital trusts were first introduced by the Finance Act of 1995 by the UK Conservative Government. Similar to investment trusts and registered with the London Stock Exchange (LSE), Venture capital trusts provide investments to companies which are not listed with the LSE. Venture capital trusts are a type of public-traded private equity, providing finance capital to small, unquoted companies with expansion potential, and are designed for capital gains for investors. Venture capital trusts encourage investors to indirectly fund risky trading businesses that function without registration of their shares and securities with the LSE. Therefore, individuals who invest in venture capital trusts, cause other companies to fall under the purview of investment risks. Having started on April 6, 1995, Venture capital trusts have proven less risky than were initially expected. VCTs can be compared to the United States? business development companies. Venture Capital Investment Most new and unquoted companies, in their early stages, fall short of sufficient capital and struggle to remain functional. They turn to capital investment support from outside investors until they can make profits. The demand for Venture Capital Investments has grown at an alarming rate in the last couple of years. The increasing trend for Venture Capital Investments has been fueled by factors like IPO market improvement, increase in availability of entrepreneurial talent, Venture Capital formations supported by Government policies, growth of cutting-edge technologies, etc. A combination of these factors, and several others, has caused Venture Capital investors to continue funding and supporting promising businesses. Venture Capital Investment ? What is it? A Venture Capital Investment is monetary assistance given to you and your company in the early stages of your business. Venture Capital Investments help successfully launch your business in the market. Venture Capital Investments provide your business with resources it needs, ensuring your business grows to its maximum potential. Whatever your demands - whether recruiting top-notch business talent, manual labourers, new and advanced machinery, or setting up of innovative technology - Venture Capital Investments assure allowances for all your business requirements. Venture Capital Investments are made by Venture Capital Firms in the form of cash in exchange for company shares the Firm is investing in. Holding company shares mean investors can exercise part-ownership in the company?s management. Wealthy individuals or Institutions with large quantities of available capital invest their money in Venture Capital Firms through funds organised as fixed-life partnerships. Partnerships are classified as General (Venture Capitalists) and Limited partnerships and usually last for 10 years. Venture Capital Investments are made towards companies with high growth potential within 5 to 7 years.

What are OTHER business expenses that you could deduct ? The ...

What ?other? business expenses are deductible? The generic term you see on your tax form may leave you scratching your head. Just what other expenses can you legitimately deduct?

While there is no hard and fast rule, examples include insurance premiums, legal and professional fees, supplies you use in your business, utilities, auto expenses, and the deduction for certain energy-efficient commercial building property. Sometimes, when people ask me this question, I respond back that if you wouldn?t have incurred the expense if it weren?t for the business, then there?s a pretty good chance you would be able to deduct that cost as a business expense.

Here?s a guide for less obvious items.

* Like all costs you incur in your business, ?other? expenses must be ordinary and necessary in order to be deductible.? In tax law, ?ordinary? means normal, usual, or customary in the context of your business.

For example, if you?re a commercial fisherman, boat insurance is an ordinary expense. Other business owners may have a harder time justifying a deduction for boat expenses, as much as they?d like to.

* An expense is necessary if it is appropriate and helpful to the operation of your business.

* Some expenses are only partially deductible. For instance, the cost of meals and entertainment must have a direct business purpose before you can claim a deduction. Even then, your deduction is generally limited to 50% of your cost.

* Certain expenses are specifically identified as nondeductible. Personal, living, or family expenses fit into this category, as do fines, penalties, political contributions, commuting to and from your job, and most lobbying costs.

Do you know what expenses are deductible in your business?

Search Advertising: keyword selection tips for local business

Last updated 6 hours 6 minutes ago

Selecting keywords for your PPC or search advertising can be overwhelming for any local business running their own advertising. How long should your search keywords be? Should they be broad or specific? Here are a few basic tips on creating an optimal PPC keyword list if you?re running your own Google AdWords or other search advertising to promote your local business.

Think Like a Consumer

When selecting keywords for your search advertising campaign, it?s important to think about how your potential customers are searching for your products and services. In addition to selecting search keywords related to your business category, you may also want to select keywords for your most popular products or services. You should also consider the reasons someone might be searching for your business type. For instance, if your business sells kitchen countertops, you probably want to reach consumers who are considering remodeling their kitchens. So in addition to ?kitchen countertops,? you may also want your ad to show up for consumers searching for terms like ?kitchen remodeling? or ?redo my kitchen.? It?s also a good idea to choose keywords that are present on your business website. These keywords have the most relevance to your search ads because they are the terms a consumer expects to find on your website when they conduct a search.

Do Basic Keyword Research

Use Google?s Keyword Tool to come up with a list of related keywords you want to use in your search ads. When you type a core keyword or phrase into the tool, it provides related keywords as well as the search volume and competitiveness of the keywords. In general, you?ll want to select keywords that have a higher search volume but lower competition. However, for very specific keywords related to your business, the search volume may be low, but consumers searching for those phrases are also more likely to click on your ads and contact you.

Use Long-Tail Keywords

Long-tail keywords are phrases that contain three or more words and target a specific part of your business. Long-tail keywords typically have low search volume but also have a lower cost-per-click than more generic keywords because they are less competitive. These keywords usually result in higher quality leads from your search advertising because the searcher has specified exactly what they are looking for. This means if your ad matches their search query, the searcher is more likely to click your ad and convert into a customer.

Localize Your Keywords

Bidding on local keywords and using them in your search ads is a must for any local business. Because your goal is to reach consumers in your local area, using local keywords is an effective way to show your ads only to searchers in your target market. Modify your keywords with your neighborhood, city, or metro area, depending on the area you serve as well as the areas you think your customers are most likely to search for.

Include Qualifying Terms

Another way to create relevant keywords is to add descriptive words to your core keyword. For instance, if you install kitchen countertops, you can use keywords related to ?different materials to qualify the keyword ?countertops,? such as ?marble countertop installation,? ?granite countertop installation,? or ?stone countertop installation,? so your ad is more likely to be shown to consumers who search for those specific keywords.

Use Questions

Search queries are often framed in the form of a question, so you can use that phrasing to come up with relevant keywords. For example, a consumer may search for a phrase like ?How do I install kitchen countertops?? or ?How do I choose a kitchen countertop?? So choosing keywords like ?install kitchen countertops? or ?choose a kitchen countertop? is an effective way for you to reach consumers searching for those specific terms.

Identify Negative Keywords

You can also opt to identify negative keywords for your search advertising set up, which mean your ad will not be displayed when a consumer searches for that keyword. For example, if your countertops are high end, you may want to add words like ?budget,? ?discount,? or ?cheap? to your negative keyword list. This tactic can help you make sure your ads are reaching only the most interested consumers, but beware. Using too many negative keywords can mean your ads are reaching fewer customers, which can potentially have a negative impact on your quality score. So use this tactic carefully.

Following these tips to selecting keyword is a great way to jump-start your PPC advertising. Once your ads are showing on the search engines, make sure to monitor their performance and refine your keyword list based on the results. If you?re looking for a more robust approach to your search engine advertising and keyword selection, contact a search engine advertising company that can provide keyword expertise as well as ongoing monitoring and optimization of your ads? performance.?

'Personality genes' may help account for longevity

May 24, 2012 (BRONX, NY) "It's in their genes" is a common refrain from scientists when asked about factors that allow centenarians to reach age 100 and beyond. Up until now, research has focused on genetic variations that offer a physiological advantage such as high levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. But researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology of Yeshiva University have found that personality traits like being outgoing, optimistic, easygoing, and enjoying laughter as well as staying engaged in activities may also be part of the longevity genes mix.

The findings, published online May 21 in the journal Aging, come from Einstein's Longevity Genes Project, which includes over 500 Ashkenazi Jews over the age of 95 and 700 of their offspring. Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jews were selected because they are genetically homogeneous, making it easier to spot genetic differences within the study population.

Previous studies have indicated that personality arises from underlying genetic mechanisms that may directly affect health. The present study of 243 of the centenarians (average age 97.6 years, 75 percent women) was aimed at detecting genetically-based personality characteristics by developing a brief measure (the Personality Outlook Profile Scale, or POPS) of personality in centenarians.

"When I started working with centenarians, I thought we'd find that they survived so long in part because they were mean and ornery," said Nir Barzilai, M.D., the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research, director of Einstein's Institute for Aging Research and co-corresponding author of the study. "But when we assessed the personalities of these 243 centenarians, we found qualities that clearly reflect a positive attitude towards life. Most were outgoing, optimistic and easygoing. They considered laughter an important part of life and had a large social network. They expressed emotions openly rather than bottling them up." In addition, the centenarians had lower scores for displaying neurotic personality and higher scores for being conscientious compared with a representative sample of the U.S. population.

"Some evidence indicates that personality can change between the ages of 70 and 100, so we don't know whether our centenarians have maintained their personality traits across their entire lifespans," continued Dr. Barzilai. "Nevertheless, our findings suggest that centenarians share particular personality traits and that genetically-based aspects of personality may play an important role in achieving both good health and exceptional longevity."

The study is titled "Positive attitude towards life and emotional expression as personality phenotypes for centenarians." The POPS was developed by lead author Kaori Kato, Psy.D., now at Weill Cornell Medical College, who validated it through comparisons with two previously established measures of personality traits. Other authors of the study were Richard Zweig, Ph.D., assistant clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Einstein and director of the Older Adult Program at Ferkauf, and Gil Atzmon, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine and of genetics at Einstein.

"Some evidence indicates that personality can change between the ages of 70 and 100, so we don't know whether our centenarians have maintained their personality traits across their entire lifespans," continued Dr. Barzilai. "Nevertheless, our findings suggest that centenarians share particular personality traits and that genetically-based aspects of personality may play an important role in achieving both good health and exceptional longevity."

The study is titled "Positive attitude towards life and emotional expression as personality phenotypes for centenarians." The POPS was developed by lead author Kaori Kato, Psy.D., now at Weill Cornell Medical College, who validated it through comparisons with two previously established measures of personality traits. Other authors of the study were Richard Zweig, Ph.D., assistant clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Einstein and director of the Older Adult Program at Ferkauf, and Gil Atzmon, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine and of genetics at Einstein.
