Disruption of adolescents' circadian clock: The vicious circle of media use, exposure to light at night, sleep loss and risk behaviors 2017 Although sleep is a key element in adolescent development, teens are spending increasing amounts of time online with health risks related to excessive use of electronic media (computers, smartphones, tablets, consoles...) negatively associated with daytime functioning and sleep outcomes. Adolescent sleep becomes irregular, shortened and delayed in relation with later sleep onset and early waking time due to early school starting times on weekdays which results in rhythm desynchronization and sleep loss. In addition, exposure of adolescents to the numerous electronic devices prior to bedtime has become a great concern because LEDs emit much more blue light than white incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs and have therefore a greater impact on the biological clock. A large number of adolescents move to evening chronotype and experience a misalignment between biological and social rhythms which, added to sleep loss, results in e.g. fatigue, daytime sleepiness, behavioral problems and poor academic achievement. This paper on adolescent circadian disruption will review the sensitivity of adolescents to light including LEDs with the effects on the circadian system, the crosstalk between the clock and the pineal gland, the role of melatonin, and the behavior of some adolescents (media use, alcohol con-sumption, binge drinking, smoking habits, stimulant use...). Lastly, some practical recommendations and perspectives are put forward. The permanent social jet lag resulting in clock misalignment experienced by a number of adolescents should be considered as a matter of public health. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Blue Light Diet 4 @BlueLightDiet ATTENTION PARENTS: Your "¡Pad babysitter" is slowly but surely damaging your kid's brain and sleep. The review below explains how. Teens are addicted to screens at night. Those LED screens blast blue light that is awesome at suppressing melatonin and effing up their circadian clock. What happens next? Sleep gets delayed, shortened, irregular and/or lost. Day fatigue, bad academic performance and behavioral problems go up. Risk behaviors go up (alcohol, cigs, pot & other drugs) Social media use → light at night → circadian disruption → sleep loss → more risk taking and health damage. They call it permanent "social jet lag" Stop letting the glowing rectangle babysit your kids. And yhe younger they are when you let the ipad babysit the worse the damage. https://x.com/bluelightdiet/status/2088622309229592844?s=61 #Dr_Robert_O_Becker

Archived PDF Magnetic investigations of human mesencephalic neuromelanin “Pigmentation of neurons in substantia nigra is due to neuromelanin, a pigment that stores large amounts of iron. Human mesencephalic neuromelanin has been investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements as a function of temperature. Magnetic measurements provide a physico-chemical characterization of the iron cluster buried in the organic melanin matrix and support the view that iron is not simply chelated, but rather is organized in a three-dimensional network. The paramagnetism of isolated iron ions is observed, in agreement with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. This behavior has not been observed in synthetic melanin, where the paramagnetic contribution is strongly enhanced.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925443901000990 #Melanin #MEG_OPM #SQUID

Rusty 4 : Solar Powered @ze_rusty. Remember when I told you melanin-like materials absorb RADAR so well they're being tested on stealth jets, making a $100M jet disappear? This mirror van shows why absorption beats everything else. RADAR works by sending out a pulse and listening for what comes back. A mirror doesn't destroy that pulse, it just throws it in another direction. The energy still exists, so anything listening from a different angle still picks it up. And when the angle lines up, a flat panel fires a perfect echo straight back. You haven't disappeared, you've just moved the echo. Absorption is different. The wave enters the material and gets converted into heat. The signal doesn't get redirected, it stops existing. Nothing returns or to detect, from any angle. That's exactly what melanin does with electromagnetic radiation. The wave goes in and never comes back out. Every stealth program on Earth is just trying to reverse-engineer a tan. https://x.com/ze_rusty/status/2088574227310121417?s=61 #Dr_Robert_O_Becker #Melanin

Chapter 13, The Body Electric, discussing polar reversals. Crossroads of Evolution The Cole and Graf theory has one crucial requirement. The polarity of the earth's magnetic field must have stayed the same during the resonant period. Otherwise there would be a mixture of right and left isomers in living tissues. As far as we can tell, the field did remain steady in Precambrian times, but we have ample proof that its poles have reversed many times during the last half-billion years. Each time, the shift has coincided with the extinction of many species. The geomagnetic record is written in two places: in igneous rocks bearing magnetic minerals, and in ocean floor sediments. Magnetic particles in molten rock are free to move and align themselves with the prevailing magnetic field. As the rock cools they're frozen in place. In the same way magnetic particles settling onto the ocean floor reflect the orientation of the field at the time of the deposit. Ocean sediments and the rock they eventually become have given us an undisturbed magnetic chronology for many millions of years, while the relatively few strata of igneous rock undisturbed by later upheavals give us occasional glimpses further back. The reversals happen very fast, as geologic time goes. The field strength falls to about half its average for a few thousand years. Then during another thousand years the poles change places; then the field regains its normal strength in another few thousand years. All told, the change takes about five thousand years. ….However, it has since been learned that the field strength drops only by half, not enough to drastically reduce the protective power of the Van Allen belts and ionosphere…. …The pole shift happens so slowly that living things may well adapt to it easily; the 50-percent decline in field strength also seems rather unim-portant. However, since we know the micropulsations control biocycles, including the timing of the mitotic rhythm, a major change in their frequency could be catastrophic. Experiments with artificial extremely low frequency fields (see Chapter 15) have shown that vibrational rates near normal but slightly above, from about 30 to 100 hertz, cause dramatic changes in the cell cycle time. This interferes with normal growth of the embryo and may tend to foster abnormal, malignant growth as well. If a geomagnetic reversal raises the micropulsation frequencies into this range, the accumulation of growth errors over many generations could well mean extinction. We have no way of making a forecast, however. Reversals seem to happen at widely varied intervals, as often as every fifty thousand years during some periods, many millions of years apart during other times. The last one seems to have occurred about seven hundred thirty thousand years ago. Several scientists have interpreted data from NASA's MAGSAT orbiter, and from measurements of magnetic particles in lake sediments, as indicating that the earth's magnetic field strength is steadily declining, and has been for the last few thousand years. If so, we may already be entering the next reversal, but it's also possible we're merely experiencing one of the field's many short-term variations. #Dr_Robert_O_Becker

“DTIC serves as the principal repository for government-funded research related to science, engineering, and business within the DoD. Its mission is to harness decades of innovation and ensure those insights accelerate future military capabilities. "This decision eliminates duplicative functions and will refocus DTIC to its core statutory mission of administering a library of technical information and improving the user experience," the department said. As part of the restructuring, DTIC will remain focused on four core priorities: preserving and disseminating defense-related research, enabling the research and engineering community, fostering innovation through public access to DoD research, and maximizing investment value through data analysis.” https://www.meritalk.com/articles/dod-cuts-staff-at-science-tech-archive-center/ #DTICs
