Longevity by Choice not Luck
Longevity. We've looked at Masterpiece Living. Masterpiece emphasizes setting personal goals and measuring progress. Implicit in this conscious successful aging plan is the concept of choice.
Choice not Luck
We attended a presentation by the Twin Cities' HealthPartners at the University of Minnesota. HealthPartners' Director of Health Promotion, Joel Spoonheim, shared the latest research and conclusions. Some of the study summaries were short-circuited. That may reflect the time allowed. Or the general audience addressed. Regardless, what HealthPartners uses in health coaching parallels best practices elsewhere.
It's a comfort to know that the research supports a large role for choice. Choices in lifestyle and attitude are bigger factors than genetics in longevity. And in health status. Longevity measures length of life or mortality. Health status measures the quality of life or morbidity. For both, it's not just luck of the parental draw.
Longevity — more choice than genes or genius
Genetics is about 30% of the mix. But that leaves a lot to social circumstance and behavioral choices. So excluding the genetics slice, the areas of control are:
10% — Physical Environment, environmental quality, and the built environment
40% — Social and Economic Factors, education, employment, income, family and social support, community safety
20% — Clinical Care, including access to care and the quality of care accessed
30% — Health Behaviors, including tobacco use, diet, exercise, substance abuse, and sexual activity
(The chart is somewhat simplified. There are also interactions or synergies between individual choices and social determinants.)
Still the conclusion is the same. We have more choice than not in how well and how long we live.
Longevity Factors
Spoonheim's conceptual structure for HealthPartners offers the following "Longevity F's (© 2016, Joel Spoonheim, HealthPartners — the words in bold are HealthPartners' — the summary is CCRC LifeCast's interpretation.):"
Fundamentals (education) — you have to know the lessons to use the lessons.
Financial — access to health care matters, even after the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). There are still big discrepancies in health access, utilization, diagnosis, and treatment. Results vary widely by income, geography, race and ethnic groups. Timely diagnosis is a big variable. Earlier intervention is better than later. Earlier matters for the big risk factors of hypertension (high blood pressure) and obesity. But it's important to note that spending more doesn't mean better results. It's as much what the money buys and when as how much money.
F(ph)yscial Activity — exercise is a foundation for good health. But it doesn't have to be in a fancy gym. Walking is the common foundation of f(ph)ysical longevity. (Okay, so they're cheating with words that start with F. Some of them only sound like F.) The converse is also true. Sitting is bad. More sitting is worse. Stress and sitting are the double whammy.
Fantastic Environment — your environment influences your likelihood of exercising, eating well, and social engagement. The environment can harm (lead poisoning and molds) or support health.
Food — diet matters, both what and how much. Sugar (and carbohydrates) is the big risk leading to diabetes and the obesity epidemic. Sugar bad.
F(ph)enomenal Sleep — good sleep and sleep habits prove to be important in living well. Sleep also minimizes the negative effects of stress. Electronic screens, both TVs and computing devices, in the bedroom disrupt sleep patterns. Electronics at night are bad.
Friends, Family, and Fun (social engagement) — we need to enjoy life with other people. Isolation is bad.
Faith — there's a lot of proof that faith inspired people live longer and happier. Religiosity is more important than the specific religion. Meditation or prayer appear to reduce stress. Faith helps individuals choose an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude beats resentment every time.
Focus (purpose) — we need a mission in life. We need to serve others and not just self. Missions or focus may change as we age and our abilities and interests change. Look for new ways to contribute to the lives of others. It really is better for longevity to give than to receive.
So, Joel told us office denizens chained to a chair and computer screen that our jobs are killing us. Good to know. Maybe that early retirement plan isn't such a bad idea.
Social Conformity and Individual Choice
Joel discussed a Finnish example of changing individual behavior through changing societal norms. An article in The Atlantic summarizes the story.
Finland's North Karelia region suffered from high cardiac morbidity and early mortality. (North Karelia is on the border with Russia. It was the combat front during the Winter War of 1939-1940. Finland defeated an invasion by the Soviet Union.) http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/04/finlands-radical-heart-health-transformation/389766/
Joel Spoonheim of HealthPartners emphasizes the importance of voluntary choice. The Finnish example proves the ability to influence choice through changing societal norms. For instance, smoking is less socially acceptable today and far fewer people smoke. Some of the attendees wanted the government to intervene to make people live longer. Joel seemed to think this was the wrong question. Well-intended mandates don't produce the same results as voluntary choices. Or maybe he was just cautious to get into politics versus policy. Regardless, government mandates or prohibitions are not the only ways to influence societal norms.
We had some laughs over our collective susceptibility to social pressures to conform. Our susceptibility is illustrated in a classic Candid Camera episode. The episode highlights social behavior on elevators. Would you face forward if everyone else was facing reversing norms and facing backward?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgRoiTWkBHU
The attendees were mostly upper-middle-class, college-educated. It was the creative class. Attendees showed some of their own social conformity in shared political jokes. Social conformity is funny when we see others swaying in the breeze. It's harder to recognize when we're the ones unconsciously conforming. And we rarely laugh at our herd behavior.
But this explains why a supportive environment is important. We tend to mimic our friends. If we hang out with obese friends our likelihood of being obese increase dramatically. Can you think of ways your environment might be influencing your longevity choices? Does your work encourage or support standing desks or walking during breaks? Who or what are your bad social influences? We can't always ditch bad influences when they are friends and family. Joel's suggestion? Dilute, don't ditch. Broaden your horizons and influences. Seek out better examples.
The Asch conformity experiments were a series of psychological experiments conducted by Solomon Asch during the 1950s. The experiments revealed the degree to which a person's own opinions are influenced by those of groups. Asch found that people were willing to ignore reality and give an incorrect answer in order to conform to the rest of the group. – Kendra Cherry, (https://verywellmind.com)
Our Conclusion For Longevity
So some simple suggestions for longevity, living long and living well. All things in moderation. More fruits and vegetables. Less meat. Lean meat, fish, or protein over animal fats. Less processed sugar and artificial sweeteners. Limit your screen time after bedtime. Sleep well. Walk more. Sit less. Play hard. Laugh out loud and with others. Engage with a religious tradition. Manage stress through exercise and reflection (prayer or meditation). Enjoy time with friends and family. Volunteer to serve others. Give of yourself. Express gratitude. Don't focus on resentment, yours or others'. Seek out positive role models in attitude and behaviors. The positive examples will help you dilute the bad influences. Look ahead. Have a goal. Don't dwell on regret. Don't expect perfection. Have a plan to get back on the horse when the longevity habits get interrupted. They will be. Surprise! Humans aren't perfect. Learn from setbacks but don't take them as defeats or failures. That's life. Have fun. Enjoy life. That's the point.


Discussion in 'Accepted and on Probation' started by Swiftzz, Sep 15, 2009.
19/52/0 – Torment of the Weak Fire Ball. I chose to take one point out of World in Flames and one out of Student of the Mind to put 2 points into Magic Absorption because there are many fights where you get hit with magic AoE Damage it helps regenerate some of the Mana with this Spec. This Spec can cause a lot of threat so I make sure to use my Mirror Image or Invisibility (If Needed) to mitigate my threat.
Tailoring – Lightweave Embroidery is a huge DPS increase. It procs a ton, the extra +295 Spell Power for 15 Seconds is a solid DPS increase.
Enchanting – Having +23 Spell Power on Both Rings . Being able to DE old Gear or unused gear to easily enchant new gear is a plus.
Mage on Archimonde I joined a guild called Discordia with a few of my friends from WC3. There we were the first guild to kill Onyxia on a live Blizz server. Several of the member left to reroll Alliance on Shattered Hand to join Death and Taxes. During BWL i joined a top 25 US Raiding guild called Nightmares Aslyum. I have Cleared all content in Vanilla including Nax and Kel' Thuzad.
During The Burning Crusade I raided some of TK and SSC but had to take a break from WoW because my guild had split when I got back from vacation. A number of the members rerolled Alliance with Deus Vox, and I did not have the time to reroll from scratch.
I have a 120 days played on my Mage.
I don't really PvP Much only just messing around.
I go to school part time and work part time as a Computer Technician. I work till 6 EST so it would not conflict with raiding schedules.
Currently I'm in XoO as a friend.
Started off in WoTLK in Fallen Angels of Illidan from there we became Death or Glory, then we merged with Impact. After I didn't like the guild I was in Impact, I felt there wasn't much room for progression. I rerolled an Alliance Mage with some real life friends. That guild had fell apart we were up to Yogg-Saron when people just stopped showing up do to summer and the guild basically crumbled.
Haven't done a raid recently where WWS or World of Logs was used.
I am a very dedicated raider. I know my class inside and out. I am easy to get along with. I consider myself a Min/Max player because I will do what ever it takes to even get even a slight DPS increase. I constantly Theory Craft my gear/gem choices etc to determine what will give me the best Damage/DPS output. Being a Friend member of XoO has given me an inside look on the guild and I can tell it is a solid raiding guild. I know I am not exalted with Sons of Hodir(yet) but I have been working on it to get my Exalted Shoulder enchant my reputation is currently Revered.
a lot of it is formality and making sure we have the spot and the rest is making sure he's on the forums and able to post about being late etc.
very solid app. definitely better than we see of people that have never been a part of us at all. as i said while somewhat distracted last night, i've seen a few instances where paying more attention would help you, but i believe with some of our on again off again raiders going off again, you can move up from friend to raider most likely.
I will definitely pay more attention during raids and if I am ever going to be late posting on forums will be no problem I can do it on my Blackberry.
ahh ok yea i got confused cause on the app pics he was in a different guild, didnt know if i got the name wrong in our guild or he left to join another friend then wanted to actually come back and raid with us =P anyways hope to c ya in raids!

Appellate Court Revives Human Rights Case Against Chiquita
The decision overturns a lower court ruling and reinstates claims against Chiquita in a historic lawsuit over the company's role in funding paramilitary groups in Colombia.
Atlanta, Ga.–Today, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that several families suing Chiquita Brands International for its role in funding paramilitary death squads in Colombia can proceed toward a jury trial.
The Eleventh Circuit reversed a September 2019 summary judgment decision by a federal judge in Florida, who had ruled the victims lacked admissible evidence showing that their family members were murdered by the paramilitaries. In reversing the district court, the Eleventh Circuit found substantial evidence of paramilitary involvement in the killings.
EarthRights International initially filed the suit in 2007 and represents families of hundreds of victims murdered, tortured, and injured by the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), an outlawed paramilitary organization that Chiquita admitted to illegally funding.
EarthRights General Counsel Marco Simons issued the following statement:
"Today's order was a milestone in this historic lawsuit. The families have been waiting years to have their day in court despite strenuous efforts by Chiquita to have the case dismissed. Now that the appellate court has reinstated the case, the families are looking forward to a jury trial.
"Chiquita has long admitted that it illegally funded the AUC. This ruling finally gives our clients the chance to show to the court, and the world, what everyone in Colombia knows: that the AUC used Chiquita's support to engage in brutal atrocities against civilians in the banana-growing regions of Colombia. There is overwhelming evidence that the AUC murdered thousands of Colombians, including our clients' family members there.
"Much of this evidence has been developed over more than a decade through the Justice and Peace process in Colombia. The district court rejected evidence from that process, and we are relieved that the appellate court has appropriately considered the results of Colombia's own justice system and overturned the erroneous decision of the lower court.
"Perhaps the most significant aspect of this ruling is that it accepts the admission of circumstantial evidence and expert testimony to show that murders that occurred at times and places where the AUC was in control and in a manner that fits with the AUC's methods and motives, to show that the murders were committed by the AUC. That conclusion will apply to hundreds if not thousands of the victims in this case."
Agnieszka Fryszman, plaintiffs' counsel at Cohen Milstein added:
"We are very pleased that the Eleventh Circuit carefully and thoroughly evaluated the district court's approach to Plaintiffs evidence – in 104 pages – and unanimously reversed the lower court's summary judgment decision. This is a very important case for corporate accountability. Chiquita has already admitted it paid over a million dollars to the AUC, a paramilitary group designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States. The Eleventh Circuit has now found that the Plaintiffs presented sufficient admissible evidence to show that the AUC killed their loved ones. After years of briefing these issues, we look forward to presenting our evidence to a jury and seeking justice for our clients."
For nearly a decade in the 1990s and early 2000s, Chiquita Brands International made regular payments to the AUC, totaling more than $1.7 million. In turn, the AUC engaged in a campaign of violence against communities in Colombia's banana-growing regions, including trade unions, political opponents, and Indigenous advocates. In 2001, the U.S. government classified the AUC as a terrorist organization. Chiquita pled guilty to a federal crime for funding the AUC and paid a $25 million fine to the U.S. government but has not yet compensated the families of the AUC's victims.
Thousands of victims, represented by several groups of lawyers, have filed suit against Chiquita in federal courts across the country; those suits were consolidated and are being heard in federal district court for the Southern District of Florida, in West Palm Beach. The cases for a dozen killings were selected as "bellwether" cases to proceed as examples. The district court ruled in September 2019 that these bellwether cases could not proceed to trial because the plaintiffs had not submitted sufficient evidence that their family members had been murdered by the AUC.
These bellwether cases include two of EarthRights' clients, known by the pseudonyms John Doe 7 and Jane Doe 7. John Doe 7's son was murdered by AUC paramilitaries, and the local paramilitary commander admitted this to John Doe 7 himself. Jane Doe 7's husband, a labor activist, was also murdered by the AUC; his murder fits a pattern of the AUC targeting union leaders. The court of appeals found that both plaintiffs had submitted sufficient evidence on this issue to proceed to trial.
EarthRights' co-counsel includes Paul L. Hoffman of Schonbrun Seplow Harris Hoffman & Zeldes LLP, who argued the appeal; Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC; and attorneys Judith Brown Chomsky, Anthony DiCaprio, and Arturo Carrillo.

Millennials book for unique experiences, social status
Experts share the latest thinking about how millennials book, stay and spend at hotels, and it's all about experience.
By Stephanie Ricca
sricca@hotelnewsnow.com
@HNN_Steph
MEMPHIS, Tennessee—While it may be easy to over-generalize millennials, their travel habits and spending patterns at hotels can be complex. Understanding their patterns can be a goldmine for hotels' profitability and loyalty, said speakers at the recent Southern Lodging Summit.
The process starts by looking at age and life experience, explained Christine Hight, senior director of market research for Hilton Worldwide Holdings. While millennials as an age group fall into the 18- to 35-year-old age range, Hight said they break into two distinct groups in terms of their worldview and behaviors.
"It's driven by life experience and earning potential," she said. "Some of those in the younger group may be in college or not even there yet, so they're not necessarily living independently. Their discretionary income is limited, as is their life experience."
Bump up a few years, though, and the situation is different.
"By the time people hit 25, they're looking at marriage, starting families, starting their careers, and their values have changed," she said.
That older group is the one in which people naturally start earning more discretionary income, which they'll spend on travel and other hotel experiences, said Albert Smith, SVP at Pivot Hotels & Resorts, the division of Davidson Hotels & Resorts that concentrates on lifestyle and boutique hotels.
"This group is aspirational, and they want to engage in these environments (of interesting hotels) from a lifestyle perspective," he said. "Even if they don't stay in the hotel, they may go to the bar or restaurant, and that's part of the experience."
Attracting millennials during the booking phase
Since this age group is so technologically connected, especially via mobile phones, attracting them to your hotel property must happen early and thoroughly.
"Just watching friends and my own wife book travel, I can see that everything's about reviews," said Josiah Mackenzie, VP of business development at ReviewPro. "So if something isn't in the top percentile of restaurants or hotels, it's not even in the decision set. So I'm looking at the top five, maybe the top three restaurants or hotels when I make a decision."
Great photos, videos and descriptive content also go a long way with this visual-learning cohort, Hight said, as does creating booking options that facilitate travel in groups.
"We have found that at their age, when they have not yet committed to marriage and children, they're traveling but they also have limited income, so we learn that they can come together for travel and maybe trade up and stay in a nicer place," she said.
Making the process easy and efficient also appeals to these digital natives, said Christine Kettmer, Marriott International's senior director of consumer insights advisory services for the Americas.
"Any channel that makes booking very convenient, it's going to be the winner," she said, citing that this age group is accustomed to the one-step shopping process popularized by Amazon.
More about the experience
The word "experience" is tossed around a lot when it comes to best practices for attracting millennials to a hotel, but the speakers said it's about more than just offering unique experiences on-property—it's about understanding how this age group values and shares those experiences, too.
"There's a big mentality that if something doesn't happen on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, it didn't happen at all," Kettmer said. "So the validation that comes with those bragging rights that say, 'I've stayed at this hotel' or 'I went to this location,' that's really important."
That influences what millennials will pay for, too.
"There's an interesting dichotomy that happens with millennials in that they want to have some luxurious or pampering experiences, but they may trade those off with others because they have limited discretionary funds," Hight said. "So they may be selective about where they stay, at a moderately priced location, but they want to go to the cool bar and get a $15 cocktail and be seen there."
This group of travelers seeks experiences both in and outside the hotel, so the more hotels can facilitate that process, the more successful they'll be at garnering loyalty.
"Anything that can be done to make the guest feel like they're part of a welcoming environment makes them feel like they're in the know," Kettmer said. "That's one of the biggest compliments they can receive, so enabling off-property experiences as much as on-property is very important."
That's where partnerships come in, as well as staff education, said Hight. She said that when staff or even online tools via the hotel's website can help show guests their proximity to interesting attractions or activities nearby, that's the goal.
The facilitation of experiences is a big differentiator between hotels and Airbnb, Mackenzie said. Since hotels are staffed 24/7, they can offer more real-time suggestions about what's going on in the city than an absent Airbnb host can do.
What about loyalty?
Brand and property loyalty is where the speakers said millennials differ most from their older traveling counterparts, so hoteliers must adapt.
One of the biggest changes, Kettmer said, is that millennials may not show their loyalty in the form of multiple repeat stays—they are after unique experiences every time they travel, after all—but rather they may show it in the form of recommendations to friends and social networks.
"Any opportunity to post about an experience on social or review sites is important—it shows loyalty if someone is willing to take the time to write a review or speak about experience," she said. "That's an indicator that someone is willing to pass along that word-of-mouth recommendation."
For more immediate loyalty rewards, many hotels are turning to instant recognition or gift rewards instead of traditional points. All methods have their value and trade-offs, Hight said.
"Brand recognition isn't just about a free stay," she said. "It's about recognizing the value of that guest. While (millennial) guests may not come back next week, in three or four years they might, and as long as we're trustworthy, that will pay dividends in the long term."


I have no hesitation in first acknowledging the support of my partner, Lenore Ogilvy, without whom this research would not have been possible. She generously supported me in my MA studies that preceded this project, and then without hesitation continued to provide me with a lifestyle that allowed me the privilege of concentrating on my research for four further years. She also offered encouragement, advice, respite, care and intellectual challenge throughout the project.
I must also sincerely thank my supervisory team: my Director of Studies Professor Stephen Dixon, together with Dr. Rosemary Shirley and Dr. Jane Webb. They shared my excitement as I explored new ground, and I benefitted greatly from their combined expertise and guidance, which was always willingly, good-humouredly and constructively given. Their advice was always positive and valuable, and I was fortunate in having supervisors who offered a powerful mix of creativity and academic rigour. Any failings within this project and thesis are entirely my responsibility.
My research was made possible by financial assistance in the form of a Studentship granted by Manchester Metropolitan University.
