Ten articles were retrieved, reviewed, and subjected to systematic analysis. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, relevant articles were sought on PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using related terms, including taurine, exercise performance, exercise, muscle, physical training, running, strength, endurance exercise, resistance exercise, aerobic exercise, and swimming. Therefore, this review aimed to systematically review the dose response of taurine on both aerobic and strength exercise performance. However, how this molecule orchestrates such functions is unknown, particularly the dose response in exercised muscles. Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid involved in various functions, including regulating ion channels, cell volume, and membrane stabilization. 4School of Health and Life Sciences, University of the West of Scotland, Blantyre, United Kingdom.3School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University, Medziphema, India.2Laboratory of Exercise Biochemistry in Health, Graduate Program in Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil.1Faculty of Sports Science, Ningbo University, Ningbo, China.Ugbolue 4, Anand Thirupathi 1 * and Yaodong Gu 1 * “And so maybe this is a tributary, not a fountain.Qi Chen 1, Zheng Li 1, Ricardo A. “I think there are going to be many tributaries of youth,” he says. Because aging is so complex, a singular fountain of youth probably doesn’t exist. “We’ve got a long way to go.”įinkel is circumspect, too. But lots of questions remain, he says, including what taurine actually does in the body and whether it works similarly in different animals, including people. As to whether taurine supplements improve people’s health, “we need to wait for a clinical trial,” Yadav says.įor now, taurine “is promising as a life span and health-span intervention,” says John Tower, a molecular biologist and geneticist who studies aging at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles who wasn’t involved in the study. In a separate experiment, an intense bout of exercise led to more taurine in people’s blood. Those links are correlations it’s not known whether low taurine had a part in causing those conditions. Yadav and his colleagues did look at data of nearly 12,000 people and found that individuals with obesity or diabetes had less taurine in their blood than people without the condition. There aren’t obvious, known risks of taurine, but thorough long-term studies at these high doses for people have not been done. The mice experiments used taurine levels that would be equivalent to about 3 or 6 grams per day for an adult human, Yadav says. Six middle-aged rhesus macaques fed extra taurine for six months seemed healthier, weighed less, had denser bones and showed signs of better metabolic health compared with five monkeys that didn’t get extra. Extra taurine led to improvements in aspects of bone strength, muscle coordination and memory in experiments with groups of five to 10 mice. Taurine was also linked with health in mice and female monkeys. elegans went from a median of almost 20 days to about 23 days on the highest doses tested. Taurine led to a similar life span boost for shorter-lived worms C. With taurine, that increased to nearly 33 months. For example, the median life span for female mice that didn’t get extra taurine was around 29 months. Molecular physiologist Vijay Yadav of Columbia University Irving Medical Center and colleagues found that extra taurine extended mice’s median life spans by 10 to 12 percent. Nevertheless, it has a range of suspected jobs in the body, from helping the developing brain to eye health to digestion. As far as amino acids go, taurine is an oddball: Unlike other more familiar amino acids, it doesn’t get incorporated into proteins. The results, 11 years in the making, center on taurine in part because scientists found its levels fall with age in the blood of mice, monkeys and humans. And this is a new set of findings that deserves to be followed up.” “So any way you can chip away at that edifice is great. Aging “is one of the great biological unknowns,” says biologist and cardiologist Toren Finkel of the University of Pittsburgh, who was not involved in the study.

(Enter the start point, in the fields to the left, insure the Filled selection is not checked and click on Enter Point field. Then, select the Rectangle tool and draw a rectangle, starting at point (0,0,0), of 2 meters by 2 meters (leave the Z at zero).And you would be forced to insure you are in top view whenever you wanted to draw on the XY (floor or ground) plane. If left in Auto, the working plane would change automatically to the current view. (Click on the field showing Auto and click on XY *) The working plane won't change, no matter the current isometric view. Let's start by turning construction mode on, using the icon which will allow us to draw some guidelines, locating features of our final geometry.Snaps are available for the midpoint of a line, the intersection of two lines, the end of a line and others: There, you can turn the grid on/off and set/unset individual Snap locations Snaps allow us to precisely set the position of a mouse click based on established geometry. The Draft Workbench also has two special toolbars: One with visual settings, where you can change the current working plane, turn construction mode on/off, set the line color, face color, line weight and text size to be used for new objects, and another one with snap locations.In this exercise, however, the default values are good. Configure the grid and working plane, text and dimensions settings to your liking in menu Edit -> Preferences -> Draft(large icon in the left hand column). ![]() As in all technical drawing applications, it is wise to set up your environment correctly, beforehand, it will save a lot of time.Start FreeCAD, create a new drawing, and switch to the Draft Workbench.It is presumed that the previous table exercise has been preformed and there will be less explanation of skills already covered. To showcase the working and possibilities of the Draft Workbench, we will walk through a simple exercise, the result of which will be this little drawing, showing the floor plan of a small house that contains only a kitchen counter top (A pretty absurd floor plan, but we can do what we want here, can't we?): This work bench contains a working plane/grid system that allows you to define precisely in which plane you are working, and a complete snapping system that makes it very easy to draw and position elements precisely in relation to each other. All its tools work in the whole 3D space and many of the Draft tools, for example Move or Rotate, are commonly used elsewhere in FreeCAD because they are often more intuitive than changing placement parameters manually.Īmong the tools offered by the Draft Workbench, you will find traditional drawing tools like The Draft Workbench, although it adopts ways of working inherited from the traditional 2D CAD world, is not limited to the 2D realm. In any case, FreeCAD features a more traditional workbench, with tools found in most 2D CAD applications: The Draft Workbench.

He is currently not licensed by the SFC, it added. Leissner was licensed under Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Ordinance for activities including advising on securities and corporate finance for Goldman Sachs between Apand Feb. “We continue to cooperate with all authorities looking into these matters,” he said.Ī lawyer for Leissner could not be immediately reached in the United States outside of usual business hours. Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) said it considered Leissner’s conduct demonstrated “a serious lack of honesty and integrity” and called into question his fitness and properness to be a licensed person.Ī Goldman Sachs spokesman said Leissner deliberately hid certain activities from the bank and repeatedly violated its policies and procedures. Leissner, a former partner at Goldman Sachs in Asia, pleaded guilty last August to conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and agreed to forfeit $43.7 million. Goldman itself is being probed by the US Justice Department for its role as underwriter and arranger for $6.5 billion worth of 1MDB bonds.Īpart from Leissner, another former Goldman banker Roger Ng and Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho have been charged in the United States for links to the alleged theft of billions of dollars from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.Īn estimated $4.5 billion was misappropriated from 1MDB by high-level officials of the fund and their associates between 20, the US Justice Department has alleged. The sanction is latest for Leissner who has already been barred from the banking sector in the United States and Singapore for his links to the scandal. Finally, this Note provides concluding thoughts on the scandal.HONG KONG: Hong Kong’s financial regulator has banned former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner from re-entering the industry for life for his crimes linked to the multi-billion-dollar scandal at the Malaysian state investment fund 1MDB. Part III explores how the Goldman Sachs scandal informs trends in FCPA enforcement. Part II describes the Goldman Sachs and 1MDB scandal in greater detail-focusing on the key players, what happened, and the indictments. Part I describes the back-ground of the FCPA and the current trends of FCPA enforcement. This Note explores what the DOJ and SEC’s enforcement in the Goldman Sachs and 1MDB scandal reveals about FCPA enforcement. Low even reportedly paid “a six-figure sum” to have Britney Spears serenade Low with “Happy Birthday.” The money once meant to help promote growth, prosperity, and economic development for the Malaysian people did not find its way there. Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, and several Goldman Sachs bankers-including Tim Leissner-attended Low’s birthday bash. ![]() He also used some of the money to throw an extravagant thirty-first birthday party in the Chairman Suite at the Palazzo in Las Vegas, which costs $25,000 per night. Low used the money to buy real estate, throw parties on yachts with celebrities, and fund movies like The Wolf of Wall Street and Dumb and Dumber To. As a result, Leissner, Ng, and Low violated U.S. ![]() Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low (“Low”), worked with the two Goldman Sachs executives to siphon off money from 1MDB. After bribing foreign officials to provide services, like underwriting three 1MDB bonds, advising 1MDB on an acquisition, and helping the company evaluate a possible initial public offering (“IPO”), Goldman Sachs made $606 million in fees and revenue Goldman Sachs wired payments that passed through the Eastern District of New York. Their desire to obtain business from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (“1MDB”) led to about $1.6077 billion being siphoned out of a sovereign wealth fund meant to help the Malaysian people that instead went to pay bribes to foreign officials and foreign officials’ relatives. This enforcement action made a statement, and it signals where the Agencies may take future FCPA enforcement actions.įor about five years, two Goldman Sachs Malaysia executives, Tim Leissner and Ng Chong Hwa (“Roger Ng”), conspired to provide corrupt payments to foreign officials in Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”), and more specifically, foreign officials in Abu Dhabi. ![]() In October 2020, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announced the largest Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) enforcement action of all time against Goldman Sachs, the parent company of Goldman Sachs Malaysia and a first-time FCPA violator, at $1.66 billion. ![]() However, due to Kape Technologies history, a good amount of faith in PIA was lost. ![]() During their acquisition by Kape Technologies, PIA had to assure their users that privacy and security will remain the company’s top priority as they continue to work under Kape’s umbrella. The goal of the company is to create the “next VPN” and to do this they open-sourced their client software code for everyone to use. The company was formed due to Lee’s interest to take privacy mainstream. History įounded in 2010, Private Internet Access was formed under parent company London Trust Media and entrepreneur Andrew Lee. Some users objected to the acquisition, as Kape (under its former name, Crossrider) previously developed browser toolbars bundled with potentially unwanted programs. On November 18, 2019, Private Internet Access announced that it would be merged into Kape Technologies, which operates three competing VPN services, Cyberghost, ExpressVPN and Zenmate. Lee started the company PIA because he wanted a way to prevent Internet Relay Chat from revealing IP addresses. The CEO of Private Internet Access (and its parent company, London Trust Media, Inc.) is Ted Kim. In November 2019, Private Internet Access was acquired by Kape Technologies. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès was named chief technology officer of PIA's parent company, London Trust Media. Private Internet Access ( PIA) is a personal VPN service that allows users to connect to multiple locations. ![]() From your profile picture, you can also easily sign in, sign out or turn on Incognito mode.

It’s a whole, bigger cultural conversation we need to have, but, right now, it’s hard. “I like to think there’s more to life than how we look, but it’s unavoidable in our culture that, as you age - especially as a woman - that how you look is a lot. “It can be extremely stressful to be aging and to be compared to your much, much, much younger self,” Davis, 58, told NewBeauty in 2022.

Star Walk 2 is an augmented reality experience for the night sky that is available as a paid-for ($2.99) and free version, with the latter displaying ads and lacking in features. The Google Play Store rating of 4.9 stars out of 5 (based on the feedback of 5.52K reviews) is a testament to its high performance. Overall, we think this is one of the better astronomy apps out there. Pointing your phone at the sky will reveal the objects you can see, while the app also easily connects to most telescopes. When you zoom in, you can see HD pictures of nebulae and galaxies, albeit some, like the Pleiades, could benefit from an update. We were once unconvinced that it was as polished as the desktop version, but all that's been put to bed now with the new version. You can discover and identify your favorite planets and constellations, track moving satellites, and access data on the stars and planets of your choice, including myths and legends from other cultures. During our Stellarium Mobile Plus review we were impressed by the GPS positioning and night sky it displays automatically should you give the app permissions, so the sky you see displayed on your phone will be pretty similar to the actual sky above you. What you get with Stellarium is a database that contains more stars than any other app (but not as many asteroids as Sky Safari). There is a free version, but as expected, it doesn't have as many features as the Plus version. After all, programmers need to make a living too, but at $19.99, it won't break the bank. However, unlike its Windows and Mac counterparts, you need to pay for it.

Amongst other enhancements, the main improvements include a simplified interface and an extended database as standard. The newer Sky Safari 7 Pro is even cheaper than Sky Safari 6 - you can get it for $26.99. There are many more features of the previous version that we looked at in our in-depth Sky Safari 6 Pro review, and now there's a newer version out we can't wait to test out even more features it has to offer. As an educational tool, this app is hard to beat. We love the fact that it backs up your settings and provides telescopic images and object information. We also love the powerful Events Finder, where you can utilize the search engine to find celestial events that are happening tonight and far into the future - a great feature if you're into astrophotography and want to plan your shoot for a specific event. A great feature is 'Sky Tonight' - a guided tour of the finest sights on show that night. You can also connect the app to your telescope and have it guide you around the stars. Hurt, T.Even if you're an experienced stargazer well-versed in astronomical lore, you're almost certain to learn something from Skysafari 7 Pro, a comprehensive app that originally sat at the more expensive end of the market. Observations from space telescopes have revealed thousands of exoplanets of different of sizes, compositions, temperatures, and atmospheres, including seven rocky Earth-sized planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system, 40 light-years from Earth (artist’s illustration). |
