Most people require seven
to nine hours of sleep to have proper daytime
functioning, but some people can function
normally on less than six hours of sleep per
night owing to a gene mutation, says a study.
The genetic variant also appears to provide
greater resistance to the effects of sleep
deprivation, the researchers, who studied 100
twin pairs, noted.
People with p.Tyr362His – a variant of the
BHLHE41 gene – had an average nightly sleep
duration of only five hours, which was more
than one hour shorter than the non-carrier
twin, who slept for about six hours and five
minutes per night.
The twin with the gene mutation also had 40
percent fewer average lapses of performance
during 38 hours without sleep and required
less recovery sleep afterward – sleeping only
eight hours after the period of extended sleep
deprivation compared with his twin brother,
who slept for 9.5 hours.
“This work provides an important second gene
variant associated with sleep deprivation and
for the first time shows the role of BHLHE41
in resistance to sleep deprivation in humans,”
said Renata Pellegrino, senior research
associate at The Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia in the US.
The study group comprised 100 twin pairs – 59
monozygotic pairs and 41 dizygotic pairs – who
were recruited at the University of
Pennsylvania.
Response to 38 hours of sleep deprivation and
length of recovery sleep were assessed in a
sleep lab. During sleep deprivation, cognitive
performance was measured every two hours
using the Psychomotor Vigilance Test.

lakefist: if tecno can ping b4 nokia theres nothing IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD to do

thats a word of the elders. realy onpoint.

It was just like yesterday when the brand TECNO was unvailed in Nigeria,many never give it a chance.most easpecialy the nigeria phone freak,they remained glued with their E series, N series and other brands as at then without even looking at the direction of Tecno.

Tecno on their parts remained indifatigable trying to look for a good avenue to explore their potentials and they take a bold step by giving us what we want and and even at an affordable price,that is their Adroid phone and we consumed like an indomie.even they never stop at that .

So whatever challenges that you migth be facing presently in regards to your inventions,discoveries or your business, just use tecno as an example,remain indifatigable,study your targeted market ,try and determine what can quench thier thirst and once discovered, give it to them as Tecno.

So digest this and your suceess story shall be told by year 2014.

WISHING YOU HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE

georgecso: Punjab, INDIA — Men in India are already beginning to celebrate as the annual Punjab Rape Festival is just days away. Every non-married girl age 7-16 will have the chance to flee to safety or get raped.

Madhuban Ahluwalia who heads up the annual festival told reporters why the event is so important. “This is a long time tradition in Punjab dating back thousands of years,” says Ahluwalia. “We rape the evil demons out of the girls, otherwise they will cheat on us and we will be forced to kill them. So it is win-win for everyone.”

The Punjab Rape Festival began in 43 BC when Baalkrishan Tamil Nadu raped everyone in his village of Ludhiana. Baalkrishan Tamil Nadu is remembered every year at this event, in fact the trophy given to the man with the most rapes is called ‘The Baalkrishan’.

23-year-old Harikrishna Majumdar tells reporters that he has been training all year for this event. “I’m going to get the most rapes this year. I’ve been practicing raping my sister and her friends every day. I will be rape superstar number one! I will get the Baalkrishan prize this year for sure!”


11-year-old Jaitashri Majumdar told reporters she almost did not get raped at last year’s festival. “I came so close to not getting raped. I almost got to the ‘rape-free-zone’ at the edge of town, but at the last minute 12 men jumped on me and raped me. Luckily I am just recovering now so I can participate in this year’s events, otherwise I would be put to death by stoning.”

34-year-old Paul Horner from Toronto who is visiting Punjab on business told reporters he will be missing the festivities this year. “I’m getting the f*ck out of this backwards country tonight.”

India is second in reported rapes in the world only behind the United States. For more information on the festival or if you would like to participate, please call the 24-hour Punjab Rape Festival hotline at (785) 273-****
