Thanks to global progress in ensuring access to health care, sanitation, education and the ongoing fight against hunger, life expectancy is not only increasing around the world, but the gap between highly-developed regions and the rest of the world is gradually closing.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>According to the United Nations Population Division, global life expectancy at birth for both sexes has improved from 46.5 years in 1950 to 71.7 years in 2022 and is expected to rise to 77.3 by 2050. Perhaps more importantly though, the global life expectancy gap is closing, with Asia in particular making rapid progress in catching up with Europe and North America.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Between 1950 and 2000, life expectancy in Asia increased by more than 25 years, cutting the gap towards North America and Europe from more than 20 years to less than 10 years. By 2050, Asia is expected to have almost caught up with the Western world with its life expectancy reaching almost 80 years. Despite rapid improvements, Africa is the only region expected to lag behind the rest of the world in life expectancy by 2050.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/half-of-todays-5-year-olds-will-live-to-be-100</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Today's 5-year-olds will likely live to 100. What will their lives be like?</p>\n<p>For children in wealthier nations, 80 will be the new 60. That means a life filled with day-to-day technological advances—and a new way of thinking about school, work, and retirement.</p>\n<p>Five-year-old Peggy Hawkins wants to be a penguin when she grows up. Even at her young age she concedes it’s unlikely, but being pragmatic she has backups, including dancer. Her playful visions of the future reflect the enthusiasm and unconstrained imagination of this cheerful British girl, and while she won’t become a penguin, something almost as confounding is a near certainty: Peggy Hawkins will live to 100.</p>\n<p>According to demographers, today’s five-year-olds have a better chance than ever of living to be centenarians, and by 2050 it’ll likely be the norm for newborns in wealthier nations, such as the United States, Europe, or parts of Asia. That longevity means Peggy, and others of her generation, will live lives that are not just longer, but fundamentally different than the lives of their parents and grandparents.</p>\n<p>Lengthening lives</p>\n<p>The United Nations Population Division projects that life expectancy at birth for the world will be over 77 years in 2050—an increase of about 31 years over the course of a century.</p>\n<p>100</p>\n<p>Life expectancy at birth</p>\n<p>77.3</p>\n<p>73.4</p>\n<p>World</p>\n<p>COVID-19</p>\n<p>pandemic</p>\n<p>50</p>\n<p>46.5</p>\n<p>China’s</p>\n<p>Great Leap</p>\n<p>Forward</p>\n<p>Projected</p>\n<p>1950</p>\n<p>2023</p>\n<p>2050</p>\n<p>2050 FIGURE BASED ON MEDIAN PROJECTION</p>\n<p>NG STAFF.

Yet Scott reckons fears of a “Silver Tsunami,” with overburdened young workers toiling to keep their decrepit parents in pensions and adult diapers gets it all wrong. “People are living for longer, on average they’re healthier for longer. It’s amazing how we turn this into bad news.”</p>\n<p>A century of medical advances already has extended life expectancy, while improving education, growing prosperity, and greater female choice are reducing fertility rates. The world population reached eight billion (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/the-world-now-has-8-billion-people?loggedin=true&rnd=1676648485840)in November, but the growth rate (https://www.un.org/development/desa/dspd/2023/01/world-social-report-2023/)is slowing with numbers expected to peak mid-century and then start to reduce. Meanwhile, the proportion of over-65s is already one in 10 and set to reach one in four in the U.S. by 2050. A less populated world inhabited by older people (https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/photography/2023/01/japan-confronts-a-stark-reality-a-nation-of-old-people-ii?image=mm9808_220418_03586t) is on the horizon.</p>\n<p>Baby boy Joshua, son of Pamela Fazari, is being given first care seconds after he was born on July 29, 2022, by Dr. Manuela Ciocchini and Giada Quamori in Aosta, Italy.</p>\n<p>Photograph by Melanie Wenger, National Geographic</p>\n<p>In the U.S., life expectancy has increased by 30 years in the last century but, for the most part, those additional years are simply tacked on at the end, extending the period of retirement, frailty, and disease.</p>\n<p>“We’re just making old age longer,” says Laura Carstensen (https://longevity.stanford.edu/people-2/laura-carstensen/), a psychology professor and founding director of the Stanford Center on Longevity (https://www.longevity-project.com/stanford-center-on-longevity). She sees a different pathway forward. “We have an incredible opportunity to redesign our lives,” she adds, by spreading those additional years throughout life. Think of it more as an extended middle age, than a longer old age.</p>\n<p>In the 100-year life even golf gets boring</p>\n<p>Peggy’s 100-year life seems off to a good start. The Hawkins family—Peggy, her mother Hattie, a primary school teacher, her father Pete, an artist, and her big sister Molly, aged seven—live in a cottage in the village of Marlesford, Suffolk (https://mapcarta.com/17631694). She is growing up in one of the world’s advanced economies, with free education and healthcare. She has devoted, attentive parents who make time to spend with her and her sister, encouraging outdoor play, exploration, and fun. “Peggy’s mind is always bubbling,” says Hattie.</p>\n<p>As Peggy gets older, her life will be accompanied by day-to-day technological advances ( https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/12-innovations-technology-revolutionize-future-medicine?loggedin=true&rnd=1677170111696)—such as 3D printed braces to straighten her teenaged teeth, wearable diagnostic devices and biosensors to track her health and forestall disease, or a bionic exoskeleton (https://news.usc.edu/trojan-family/usc-bionics-technology-neuroscience-paralyzed-robotic-exoskeleton/)to ease her muscles in later life. Yet for Peggy and her generation to realize the opportunities that longevity affords, and avoid the pitfalls of ill health and running out of money, that will require society to remake virtually how every stage of life is lived. But we’re not even close to tackling that.</p>\n<p>Conrad Heyer, of Waldoboro, Maine, seen here in a daguerrotype around 1852 is credited as the earliest-born American to be photographed. When Mr. Heyer...</p>\n<p>Collections of Maine Historical Society</p>\n<p>Today, life is broadly conceived as a three-stage, linear process: 20 years of education, 45 years of work, then retirement. It is a model that values students for their potential to become workers. workers for working, and retirees not at all. But when you can reasonably expect to live decades longer, retiring at 65, for example, no longer makes sense—not economically, not socially, and not personally. Plus, it’s tedious, even for the most avid golfer.</p>\n<p>“You retire and then your role is to fade away. Well, that doesn’t work for 40 years,” says Carstensen.</p>\n<p>The three-stage life is made for a world that no longer exists and will be replaced with “a multi-stage life… that is much more flexible,” says Scott. The fluidity that will characterize Peggy’s life is already happening. The teenager was a mid-20th century invention—before that you were simply a child and then a worker. Today, more young adults are delaying leaving home, delaying having children, delaying taking on many of the trappings of adult life.</p>\n<p>Can working for 60 years be fun?</p>\n<p>A life designed for longevity starts with education that is extended—beginning later and lasting longer—with additional years early on for play, and gap years for high school students to take jobs or do volunteer work. The same goes for college education. “Let’s give kids a break,” says Carstensen. “These extra years means the pace of life can actually slow.” Education will continue throughout life. Some universities already offer a “60-year curriculum” aimed at keeping workers up to date in a fast-changing employment market.</p>\n<p>Work, too, will be reinvented. “The big shadow hanging over longer lives is that you can’t avoid having to work for longer,” says Scott. To pay for longer lives, working lives must be longer too, but work will be more flexible. Lifetime work could involve the same number of hours, but spread across 50 or 60 years instead of 30 or 40, with career breaks, part-time work, and switching jobs at different stages of life.</p>\n<p>“That means three-day work weeks, sabbaticals, time off to bring up children, then back to work, time off to care for elderly parents or grandchildren, then back to work,” says Sarah Harper (https://www.ox.ac.uk/news-and-events/find-an-expert/professor-sarah-harper), University of Oxford gerontology professor and director of the Oxford Institute for Population Ageing (https://www.ageing.ox.ac.uk/). The COVID-19 pandemic has shown flexibility unheard of before it began, with four-day weeks proving popular with companies and workers, according to a new UK study (https://www.4dayweek.com/uk-pilot-results), while the growth of the freelance gig economy offers an alternative to the outdated job-for-life.</p>\n<p>Retirement itself will also evolve. Nineteenth century German chancellor Otto von Bismark was the first to introduce pensions at a time when European life expectancy was only 40. “The equivalent of that state pension age now would be 103,” Harper says. Our 70s have replaced our 60s as “the decade of decline” and that decline is being pushed further as we live longer. “For the majority of today’s five-year-olds, 82 will be like 60 today.”.</p>\n<p>The latter stages of Peggy’s working life might involve part-time work, mentoring, or volunteering—all opportunities to be productive and spend time with people from different generations, helping erode social barriers and ageist attitudes. Flexible work lives also means “a lot of responsibility is put on individuals,” says Scott. “Today’s five-year-olds are going to have to manage their careers much more than previous generations.”</p>\n<p>They will have to manage their health too in order to reduce the impact of non-communicable diseases for which age is a threat multiplier, such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes. New treatments for the diseases of aging may emerge, but simple lifestyle decisions are the best defense in trying to ensure life spans and healthy life spans align more closely: eat well, exercise regularly, don’t smoke, don’t drink too much.</p>\n<p>With health come opportunities. The French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/beauvoir/), in her 1970 book The Coming of Age, wrote that most people approach old age “with sorrow and rebellion,” seeing it as worse than death, but de Beauvoir finds an answer in purpose. “There is only one solution if old age is not to be an absurd parody of our former life, and that is to go on pursuing ends that give our existence a meaning,” she writes.</p>\n<p>The 100-year life isn’t about striving to stay younger for longer, it’s about staying healthy enough and connected enou</p>\n<p>gh to maintain a sense of purpose, whether it’s found in the workplace, family, or community.</p>\n<p>“The best way to be a successfully aging old person is to be a successfully aging middle-aged person,” laughs</p>\n<p>John Rowe (https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/people/our-faculty/jwr2108)</p>\n<p>, citing himself. At nearly 80, Rowe is a health policy professor at Columbia University, following earlier careers as a biomedical researcher, a Harvard professor, an academic administrator, and a health insurance executive. “I’m working full time; I think I’m contributing; I’m certainly enjoying myself,” he says.</p>\n<p>The first five years of life—Peggy’s entire existence so far—are the foundation of future health and wellbeing. The message of longevity is to slow down, stay healthy, and spend time with the people that matter. “Our best times together, and when the girls come alive, is when we go on a walk,” says Peggy’s mother, Hattie. “That’s where all the good chat comes, when they’re given the time and the space, and suddenly they start telling us everything, all the stuff they find interesting.”</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>

BERNIE SANDERS 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN RALLY AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
NY Slug: TVU 8 Bernie Sanders Dartmouth College rally At his rally at Dartmouth College tonight, Sanders was asked specifically about attacks against him and his promise not to run negative ads. He said, "If people are distorting my record - as is the case right now - we are going to deal with it and I have dealt with it. We are going to continue to deal with it." Negative ads Q. I know you have said you refuse to run a negative campaign, but now another camp is starting to say something that distorts your particular belief and particular platform - what is your plan going forward to do deal with this? [Sanders] A. "You are looking at public official a US Senator who has won elections and lost elections.I have never run a negative radio or television ad in my life. (applause) "It is my very strong hope that I never will. And I believe that if people are distorting my record - as is the case right now - we are going to deal with it and I have dealt with it. We are going to continue to deal with it. "But I believe the American people deserve campaigns, which are based on the issues impacting their lives. They don't want to see candidates going around saying, 'I'm great, everyone else is terrible.' That is not the type of campaign I have ever run or will run." [8:25:23 PM ] Sanders also talked about recent polling - at the very top of his remarks. He said, "What was considered inevitable, may not be quite so inevitable." "We were running against a candidate who is deemed by the media and the establishment as the inevitable nominee of the Democratic Party well.. a lot has changed." [19:21:15] "It turns out that what was considered inevitable may not be quite so inevitable." [19:21:43 PM] He also drew huge applause when talking about a single-payer health care plan. He did not mention Clinton or her campaign's attacks, but stuck to his talking points during the health care part of his speech. He said health care is a right and Americans pay more than people in other countries. "I believe time is now to move forward toward a Medicare-for-all, single-payer program," he said in the end to huge applause from the crowd. [8:20:32 PM] Worth noting that Sanders had a solid turnout. His campaign said they only put the release out two days ago and yet they had a packed room of 1,950 people (including the overflow room). Just yesterday Bill Clinton held an event in the same building. He had fewer than half the number of people (about 700) in a much smaller room. Bill's crowd was also much much more subdued. The Sanders campaign says the timing was "happenstance" and joked with me that their campaign did not have that much forethought to plan some kind of targeted counterpunch to Bill's visit. From the noise in the room on the Vermont shout-outs, it seemed a huge percent of the crowd though was from the Senator's home state across the border.
54444 1950s PROFILE OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE "THE DELAWARE STORY"
The Diamond State Telephone Company presents “The Delaware Story” — “the story of a free people in a free land.” The 1950s color film provides the viewer with historical, economic, and cultural information on the “Diamond State” (a nickname bestowed by Thomas Jefferson, we’re told at mark 00:40). Through color illustrations the film discusses the Native Americans who once called the area home (mark 01:07), the destruction of a 1631 Dutch Colony, and the development of other colonies in the region by Dutch and Swedish settlers. We see Old Swedes Church (Holy Trinity Church), consecrated in 1699 in Wilmington, at mark 02:45, and we look at drawings of some early log cabins before learning about the role Caesar Rodney played President of Delaware during most of the American Revolution (mark 03:55), as well as the colony’s role during the war and eventual statehood. There is talk of Delaware’s spiritual heritage with unfolding scenes from nature and various places of worship. Kids and adults are shown fishing, playing at the beach, or enjoying time at amusement parks at mark 08:00 as the refers to the state as “the nation’s summer capital.” The film touts Delaware’s art culture by showing us the Wilmington Art Center (mark 08:37) and later re-enactments from Colonial life before looking at some of its rich architectural designs starting near mark 09:45. In praising the state’s dedication to education, students stroll the grounds at the University of Delaware (mark 11:18) and Delaware State College, and we later learn of the state’s rich history of material trade (mark 12:05). At mark 14:25 the film tells us the history of the first telephone service in Delaware, dating to 1878, before reviewing various industries that call “The First State” home, as well as small, local businesses (mark 17:50) as we see scenes from bakeries, jewelry stores, and other shops, as well as farms that produce countless crops and costal waters that provide seafood (mark 19:35). Cars speed across the Delaware Memorial Bridge (mark 21:28) as the picture changes its focus to transportation and its population boom.

You know, we encounter people who get angry and are difficult to deal with. Diane never saw that. She saw a family that loved her, that gave their lives to her. She saw a world and a community that rallied around her. She couldn't see why she was special and why the world would come to her. When people left her (they were) a much better person." STORYLINE: A woman who spent nearly 60 years of her life in an iron lung after being diagnosed with polio as a child died on Wednesday after a power failure shut down the machine that kept her breathing, her family said. Sixty-one-year-old Dianne Odell had been confined to the 7-foot (2-metre)-long machine since she was stricken by polio at 3 years old. Family members were unable to get an emergency generator working for the iron lung after a power failure knocked out electricity to the Odell family's residence near Jackson, Tennessee, about 80 miles (128 kilometres) northeast of Memphis, brother-in-law Will Beyer said. Captain Jerry Elston of the Madison County Sheriff's Department said that emergency crews were called to the scene, but could do little to help. Odell was afflicted with "bulbo-spinal" polio three years before a polio vaccine was discovered and largely stopped the spread of the crippling childhood disease. She spent her life in the iron lung, cared for by her parents and other family members. Though confined inside the 750-pound (340-kilogram) apparatus, Odell managed to get a high school diploma, take college courses and write a children's book. The iron lung that she used was a cylindrical chamber with a seal at the neck. She lay on her back in the device with only her head exposed, and made eye contact with visitors using an angled mirror above her head. The lung worked by producing positive and negative pressure on the lungs that caused them to expand and contract so that she could breathe. Iron lungs were first used to sustain life in 1928, and were largely replaced by positive-pressure airway ventilators in the late 1950s. A spinal deformity from the polio made it impossible for Odell to wear a more modern, portable breathing apparatus, so she continued to use the older machine. It is not known how many polio survivors still use iron lungs, but Odell was believed to have used it for longer than most. The President, of West Tennessee Healthcare Frank McMeen, said Odell positively affected the lives of those around her. "The most unlikely person to touch anyone's life and yet she did. You left there being inspired," he said. "Diane saw the world as a place where people are good. You know, we encounter people who get angry and are difficult to deal with. Diane never saw that. She saw a family that loved her, that gave their lives to her," he added. Odell was determined to live a full life, she earned a diploma from Jackson High School as a home-bound student and an honorary degree from Freed-Hardeman College. A voice-activated computer allowed her to write a children's book, "Less Light," about Blinky, a tiny star who dreams of becoming a wishing star. In a 2001 interview with The Associated Press, she said that she wanted to show children, especially those with physical disabilities, that they should never give up. Norbert Putnam, Music Producer said that about Odell that "she'll be remembered as someone who reminds us all to be thankful for who we are, where we are and what we have."

I am just so grateful,” Philip said on the GoFundMe page.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The exact cause of Paul’s death is unclear. He was admitted to the hospital three weeks ago due to a Covid-19 infection but was no longer testing positive this week, Philip said.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“Paul, you will be missed but always remembered. Thanks for sharing your story with us,” Christopher Ulmer, organizer of the GoFundMe fundraiser, said on the page.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Paul developed polio in the summer of 1952, at the age of 6. It was the height of the polio epidemic; more than 21,000 paralytic polio cases were recorded that year in the United States, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Today, polio is considered eliminated in the United States thanks to vaccines that were developed in the late 1950s, according to the CDC.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>The disease left Paul paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breathe on his own. He was placed in an iron lung, a large metal cylinder that varies air pressure to stimulate breathing, according to his autobiography.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“The doctors told us Paul could not possibly live,” Doris Alexander, Paul’s mother, said in his autobiography. “There were a few times when the electrical power failed and then the lung had to be pumped by hand. Our neighbors would run over and help us pump it.”&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Paul spent the next seven decades in an iron lung. In March 2023, he was declared the longest surviving iron lung patient in the world by the Guinness World Records.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Paul’s ambitions were not limited by his condition. He learned breathing techniques that allowed him to leave the iron lung for a few hours at a time. He graduated college, earned a law degree and went on to practice as a courtroom attorney for 30 years.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>He also self-published his autobiography, “Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung,” titled after the accomplishment of learning how to breathe independently for at least three minutes – a feat that took him a year to master and was rewarded with a dog, according to the book.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Paul told CNN in 2022 that he was working on a second book. He demonstrated his writing process, using a pen attached to a plastic stick held in his mouth to tap keys on a keyboard.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>“I’ve got some big dreams. I’m not going to accept from anybody their limitations,” he said in the interview. “My life is incredible.”&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>In January, he set up a “Polio Paul” TikTok account, where he described his life accomplishments and answered questions about life in an iron lung like “How do you go to the bathroom?” and “How do you stay so positive?” At the time of his death, he had 300,000 followers and more than 4.5 million likes.&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>Paul was also an advocate for polio vaccination. In his first TikTok video, he said, “the millions of children not protected against polio. They have to be, before there’s another epidemic.”&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;b>--KEYWORD TAGS--&lt;/b>&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>TEXAS PAUL ALEXANDER IRON LUNG&lt;/p>\n&lt;p>&lt;/p>
