The Art and Science of Aging Well
The following presentation was delivered at the Pathways to Longevity conference on Oct 22nd, 2014 in Honolulu by Dr. Maya Nicole Baylac.
Here is a summary of the themes of this presentation -
What is aging and what happens to our bodies when we age?
What causes aging and chronic illness?
Longevity factors
Discussion and review of centenarian studies
How do we apply the lifestyle factors of centenarians to the modern world
The consequences of sedentary lifestyles and chronic sitting
Finding meaning in the world
Emotional stress and longevity
Physical Fitness for Elderly- A Key to the Successful Aging.
This document discusses the importance of health-related fitness for the elderly population. It notes that the elderly population is growing significantly in India and longevity has increased. Regular physical activity and exercise can help the elderly population maintain functional capacity and independence as they age by combating common age-related declines in areas like cardiovascular health, muscle mass, strength and bone density. The document outlines the key components of health-related fitness - aerobic capacity, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition - and provides guidelines for developing a safe and effective exercise program for the elderly to promote healthy aging.
How nature contributes to well being and healthy aging
Communing with nature can be the antidote to the demands of modern life. It can enhance your immune system, restore mental sharpness, add perspective to life and it is essentially free and without side-effects.
The Next Web Europe 2015
The document discusses how media creators and algorithms are increasingly telling stories through data collected from sensors, devices, and online activity. It notes that the BBC told a DJ to stop streaming live video from their building. Additionally, algorithms can now tell 'stories' about the world by analyzing location data, timestamps, activities and more that are collected through smartphones, wearables, and other connected devices. The rise of self-tracking and data collection is allowing unprecedented ways of narrating personal experiences and learning about the world.
FutureEverything Singapore 2015
Scott Smith is a futurist based in Singapore who focuses on how people can make spaces and how spaces can empower people. He believes culture and tradition provide an important foundation but also values individuality and empowering human agency. His work at Changeist explores how to thoughtfully enact values and support people through cultural and technological change.
Design For Society
This document discusses designing futures through public engagement and co-creation. It emphasizes engaging communities to connect and co-design more durable and human-centered visions of the future, rather than focusing on isolated prediction, disruption, or innovation. Examples are given of projects that use foresight, speculative design, and public engagement to explore future possibilities. The overall message is that the future is best approached by involving people in shaping it together.
Next15 Invisible Commerce
What will retailers do with all the data they can collect? Predictive models lead to "anticipatory commerce," where retail gets unreal: products that show up because you mentioned them, products developed because enough people searched for them, pre-positioned deliveries, instant refills, disappearing shops and vapor supply chains. Big data, constant sensing and new approaches to logistics could make familiar parts of traditional retail disappear, but are we ready for what could come next?

Emotion and the Internet of Things
Even as it is still taking shape as a field of technologies and services, some IoT ventures are delving into the realm of emotion as a service—emotion detection, emotion management, mapping and more. Scott Smith will discuss how the IoT might be our emotional companion, counsellor, and coach, and share some speculations on how the Emotional IoT might evolve.
SHADOW SELVES: LIVING WITH (OR WITHOUT) OUR BIG DATA DOUBLES
This document discusses how much of our data is generated directly from people and is doubling annually. It notes that businesses have spent $4 trillion on information technology including hardware, software, and services since 2005. Additionally, data-driven marketing added $156 billion to the US economy in 2012. However, algorithms do not understand context and the consequences of their functions. Our data doppelgangers created from personalization can alienate us. Surveillance anxiety is connected between those being surveilled and those doing the surveilling.
Unshocking the future
This talk was given at Data Ecologies 2014 in Linz, Austria. It focuses on creation of artifacts and narratives that communicate 'mundane' futures. Key case study discussed was Winning Formula, a sports paper from 2018 developed for FutureEverything (http://winningformula.nearfuturelaboratory.com).

Creating Affordances in Futures
About using physical prototyping, design, immersion and other tools to make futures thinking accessible.
Media Future Week: Beware Flat-pack Futures
This document discusses potential futures related to technology and media. It notes that concepts like the internet, PCs, phones, Silicon Valley and media are becoming less relevant as large tech companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft increasingly shape the world through their vertically integrated platforms. The document also briefly touches on ideas like smart objects, non-human media, ownership, permanence, transparency, mass media being an aberration, and the need for futures design, transdisciplinarity, agility, humanity awareness, resilience and empathy.
Big Informality
This document discusses the relationship between small technology and informal economies. It notes that as complexity increases due to factors like thermodynamics, demographics, and shifting values, informality and simplicity will rise to meet complexity. Small, lightweight tools and platforms will enable connected cultures of informality. There are opportunities to focus on collaboration instead of competition, adaptability over control, and enabling open systems that allow for graceful evolution over time.
Digital giving landscape
The document discusses trends impacting digital fundraising, education, and outreach. It notes that social, technological, economic, environmental, and political changes are constant. The technological is enabling greater social connectivity and participation. Key trends include the rise of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, increased mobile device penetration, and the empowerment of citizen philanthropists through open platforms like Ushahidi. New forms of digital fundraising are emerging through social gaming and allowing support of any cause from anywhere. However, maintaining relationships and telling compelling stories remains important amid increasing amounts of data, noise, and information fatigue. Organizations must be agile and present where audiences engage online while nurturing human connections.

Geekend 2010 4 Rules for New Human
The 4 rules of the new human document outlines changes coming for humanity. Rule 1 states that any revolution will not be organized or optimized. Rule 2 says an individual's future will be their data exhaust. Rule 3 explains that the new human identity will be like an exoskeleton from external data. Finally, rule 4 predicts that change will originate from grassroots levels rather than being imposed from above.
Unfinished Business Design Fiction Lecture @ OCAD
Design fiction is a way to provoke and shape possible futures through the creation of artifacts and scenarios that make technological ideas feel realistic and concrete. By materializing speculative concepts through prototypes and stories, design fiction can influence popular imagination and help bring imagined futures into reality. It moves beyond just discussing or envisioning the future to actively designing possible worlds through a combination of design, technology, art, and storytelling. Design fiction aims to expand what people see as plausible and desirable technological outcomes rather than just predict or extrapolate from the present.
Changeist Post-Consumption Workshop 2008
The document discusses how values are shifting in society from a focus on consumption and material goods to priorities like sustainability, community, and simplicity. It suggests society may be entering a "post-consumption world" where mass affluence and cheap goods are no longer a priority. The document advocates stretching thinking beyond current frames to identify new opportunities that emerge from shifts in core societal values.
The Next Big Thing is Small
The document discusses a vision of sustained global economic growth over the next 25 years that could double the world's economy every dozen years and bring prosperity to billions, without significant environmental damage. It notes predictions from 1997 of this "Long Boom" and references diagrams showing scenarios around levels of globalization, fragmentation, and economic growth and their impacts on different levels of government and society.
Design Fiction and Active Futures
Charlton Heston introduced Scott Smith who demonstrated a home lifting device called Lift@home at DemoCamp 2019 in Toronto. Smith discussed how science fiction works like Planet of the Apes, I Am Legend, and Make Room! Make Room! anticipated future technologies. He quoted sources saying science fiction shapes technological development and that design fiction probes ideas for the future similarly to how science fiction does through stories. Smith concluded by quoting I Am Legend, saying his device enters "the unassailable fortress of forever."

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Hemodialysis: Chapter 5, Dialyzers Overview - Dr.Gawad

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
