carolee: there are people that dress up in gilded age costumes, drive gilded age carriages with the horses, and with passengers in costumes. so this is, you know, coming to the present. my book is more about, obviously, the gilded age, but this epilogue part has been most surprising to me. i have met with some of these coachmen, i have driven with them, i have talked with them, and i am sort of just amazed and shocked that we know about civil war reenactments, but there are gilded age coaching reenactments that are going on today that are quite fascinating. they also, because it is a very expensive hobby to have that many horses, and carriages, and staff, there are people, like there is, for instance, as far as i understand, a rockefeller descendent who is a gilded age reenactor who drives carriages. so we have got an interesting gilded age reenactment going on right now. so so that is sort of the epilogue of the book. i'm working on it. i don't have a date yet, but i will keep you updated as to when it might come out. steve: one final quick follow-up, are there paintings or pictures from

that we cannot stop aging process not even with elements it's as simple as that the skin ages maybe with a slight delay if you take hormones but there is nothing that can stop the process of aging if these. women's hormone levels undergo the vigorous change during pregnancy pregnant women experience a kind of estrogen high. throughout puberty girls turn into women and boys turn into men during great hormonal turbulences. during women's men applause and as recent findings have shown during so-called mailmen of cause hormone production is disrupted so what happens biologically during this time the hormone production is controlled from a kind of hormone center in the brain a female pituitary gland produces f.s.h. the follicle stimulating hormone which stimulates estrogen production in the ovaries follicles with the onset of menopause this hormone production drops since the number of egg cells goes down and they are ultimately used up hormone production continues to gradually decrease in men the pituitary gland sends control hormones to the testicles there testosterone is produced in the lat

physical activity had contacted cellular aging. so factors that contribute to a long life include our genes on our agenda but also ones that we can influence a good diet a positive approach to life on plenty of exercise. living longer and staying young it's something many people dream of we asked our viewers on facebook what they think keeps people young. biden was a boubacar thinks you need to find a good place to live so that you can rid yourself of bad feelings. carlos lee minister virus says inclement mexico lots of people swear by coconut oil. and in italy olive oil is the recipe for a long life says sell paradise. maxime you share it says happiness love and joy other key to looking young so be happy and love each other. day i was also swears by positive attitude it gets rid of negative thoughts and worries and makes you feel free. sometimes dimitri wrote to us from the greek capital athens to say partying is how people this day young with lots of traditional dancing. and david irving's recipe for youth is to make music. maybe

moving on to reframing aging, i am really excited that we have actually launched our reframing aging campaign work last week. commissioner wallenberg is involved in that group. it's exciting to have him and have the commission represented their. we are looking at building a two prong campaign. one to talk about reframing the aging in san francisco and combating ageism at able -ism, but also making sure that people really know how to access our services. as you remember we found out from the community assessment and also other places that people do not know how to access services often when they need them. so it is exciting to embark on this. it will be a lot of work. hired a woman who many of you may know but many of the people in the community know who will be our project manager. is. it will help to have her with us. it's a lot of work. we need someone to move us in the right direction. i'm excited about that. we had our first meeting august 8th and we will continue to meet monthly. we will have some committees working alongside that bigger workgroup. we also just launched resident

we are living longer and more of us will need help in our old age.h spells out the pressures that brings. the number of people in their mid—80s with complex health problems who need 24—hour a day support will double within two decades. researchers calculate by 2035, there will be nearly half a million people aged 85 and over who need round—the—clock care. overall in the 65 plus age group, more than 1 million will require that high level of support. the report warns health and care services will have to adapt, because families will struggle. it is going to be more difficult forfamilies because women are working, women are the predominant carers, women are having to work longer, they are taking retirement later. just at that age, they will have maybe an 85—year—old parent who they will have to care for and sometimes, two parents they will have to care for. i think the thing that will make a difference is some clear leadership from government. we've had 20 years of talking and discussing the question, what we need now are years of leadership in which we

age is the strongest risk factors.do? we know that in the autumn the government is due to publish new plans to look at health and social care, but what would you like to see the government to? well, i think they need to recognise that they need to invest and they need to invest in many ways. it's notjust the financial investment. the make do and mend scenarios are not going to work, short, sharp fixes are not going to work, social care needs to be seen as a priority and they need to think about how we're going to spread the message about where we to be because i think if we're really honest with the public and we say this is what we can do and this is what we can't do, then i think the public will start to take responsibility. as it stands, what the public is promised is that you'll have everything and actually we can't pay for it. that doesn't work, so it's not only about throwing money at it, it's about creating the image of social care thatis creating the image of social care that is akin to the balance with the nhs

see the average age of first time mothers in new york los angeles and washington d.c. is between twenty nine and thirty one but the average age of first time mothers in my small rural wisconsin town was and is twenty with seventy six percent of area women having all of their children between twenty and twenty four but if you go to places like san francisco the average age of first time mothers now is thirty five it's actually paul ryan's claim that more americans having babies will fix the economy it's sort of borders on eugenics and ignores the the very legitimate and downright responsible reasons people are having as many babies these days here in america adults of childbearing age in the us are strapped with student loan debt which makes affording the twenty thousand or so dollars it currently costs just to give birth to a child nearly impossible not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars it cost to raise them there are at least half a million kids in the country who are in the child care system right now who already made parents and eleven percent of mille

at least on this in these books take you back to the middle ages.this one for example is one of our choir books. we have eight of them all together. i know as you can see it's a very large book that was eighty centimeters tall and sixty centimeters wide height or. parchment manuscripts of this size are relatively rare. each page is splendidly eliminated. traditionally the catholic liturgy is sung so the books contain musical scores. these impressions on these books were originally in the east choir where the cathedral clergy sang the divine office. the canons came together seven times a day for prayer it provided the structure of their day it's one. that. but the life of the cathedral clergy wasn't entirely spiritual. the prince bishop was not only a cleric but also an imperial prince of the realm with the secular responsibilities he was expected to gather taxes in his diocese and indeed minister justice. to the minute you will populations because he'd rule was much more than a church. at the choir screen the cathedral chapter passed judgment the gr

men here can't even expect to live to retirement age.see much higher rates of smoking, alcohol and drug misuse, obesity. you have people dying in their 30s and 40s of liver disease. we have people with the complications of long term drug misuse, who are severely disabled in their 40s and struggle with just day to day life. thank you. see you later. the conditions causing most of the early deaths in stockton have something in common — they're preventable. lung and heart diseases, diabetes, smoking—related cancers, suicide, drugs. i get very angry with the health inequality we see, because so much of what is in my waiting room doesn't need to be there. it was preventable from the start. it's a disgrace. we need to be fixing this. people have the right to get to retirement age healthy. i will accept chronic illnesses, starting in your 60s, i don't accept as a society that we should be expecting people to be unwell in their 40s. this is your school. show the man where you go to school, in these gates. this is marnie's school. right, this is
