I love him!” Trying to go along with it, Lorin replied, “I love him too”.

Key Points: 
  • I love him!” Trying to go along with it, Lorin replied, “I love him too”.
  • The woman looked at her sharply and Lorin thought she was about to be admonished for her dark humour.
  • Growing up with John Clarke – Lorin Clarke (Text) I know what she means.
  • He then discovered numerous well-known poets had mythical antipodean counterparts such as Fifteen Bobsworth Longfellow, Sylvia Blath and R.A.C.V.
  • More importantly, though, the decision not to impersonate the subjects prompted the audience to focus on what they were actually saying.
  • “Dad knew the names of the woman at the next counter’s kids” and asked about them every time he went in.

Letters and leckies

    • They had a father whose work meant he was around a lot and was every bit as funny as you might imagine.
    • A “leckie” was “the process whereby a (usually male parental) person holds court on a topic for an extended period” while “the Abe” was the ABC.
    • No one in the family ever said the sea was cold, opting instead for James Joyce’s “snotgreen” or “scrotum tightening sea”.
    • They wrote each other letters deploying a range of argots.
    • The council explained that since he could not prove that he did not receive the letters, there was nothing the council could do about that.
    • The council explained that since he could not prove that he did not receive the letters, there was nothing the council could do about that.

Father and son

    • What Lorin also sheds light on is the unhappiness her father experienced as a young child after his parents’ acrimonious divorce.
    • John’s father, Ted, appeared for no good reason to blame his elder child (John had a younger sister, Anna) for his unhappy marriage and tormented him psychologically as he grew up.
    • Ted’s politics were deeply conservative and he presented himself as a “posh British gentleman” even though his son later discovered he was actually “the bastard son of a socialist single mother in Ulster”, Ireland.
    • Her “conflict-avoidant” father didn’t think he’d invented the character to annoy his father, but John did admit, once, that he liked annoying certain people, “because if they didn’t like it, it was a sure sign it was working”.
    • Late in life, though, father and son reconciled.

Microplastics discovered in the body tissues of whales, dolphins and seals – sparking concerns for human health too

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, August 23, 2023

Marine mammals – animals including whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, sea otters, dugongs and manatees – are threatened by an array of human activities.

Key Points: 
  • Marine mammals – animals including whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, sea otters, dugongs and manatees – are threatened by an array of human activities.
  • Species such as the North Atlantic right whale, Rice’s whale and Vaquita porpoise have been pushed to the brink of extinction.
  • However, the recent study found microplastics in various other tissues of a number of different whale, dolphin and seal species.

Contaminated tissues

    • Samples were taken from the animals’ blubber, melon (the fatty structure found in a whale’s forehead), acoustic fat pads (from the jaw), and lung tissue.
    • Analysis of the samples revealed that every single melon, acoustic fat pad and lung tissue sample contained microplastics, as did 64% of blubber samples.

Tiny particles, big impact

    • At Plymouth Marine Laboratory, we have shown that exposure to microplastic particles can affect feeding, growth and reproduction in animals that filter seawater or sediment for food.
    • Evidence of the impact of microplastics on larger animals is, by comparison, limited.
    • In the most severe scenario, the accumulation of these particles could lead to a loss of these tissues’ critical functions.

A concern for human health?

    • It’s generally believed that only very small microplastics (particles less than 100µm) can move from the gut or respiratory system into the bloodstream.
    • But the US study has found the presence of larger microplastic particles in non-digestive tissues, suggesting this assumption might not hold true.
    • Together, these findings could have implications for human health.
    • Research has found microplastic particles in human blood samples and in human placenta.

LOS ANGELES , Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Clock Foundation, a California non-profit, is today unveiling 3rd generation universal epigenetic clocks, which predict age across all mammalian species.  In 2013, Dr. Steve Horvath made a tremendous advance in the field of aging biomarkers with the introduction of the first pan-tissue human epigenetic clock. This revolutionary biomarker can predict the age of virtually any human cell or tissue with impressive accuracy, based on the chemical modifications of the DNA molecule, specifically cytosine methylation.

Key Points:

  • In 2013, Dr. Steve Horvath made a tremendous advance in the field of aging biomarkers with the introduction of the first pan-tissue human epigenetic clock.
  • Previously, a significant drawback however was that these aging clocks were exclusive to humans, with cumbersome methods required for testing of other mammals.
  • These clocks have ushered in a new generation of epigenetic clocks that hold immense potential for aging and rejuvenation research."
