Longecity Mug - members eligible to receive

Longecity Volunteer, Take Action, Thank You Points

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:37:27 +0000

All registered users can earn '₮' points through three different routes:

1) Indirectly by posting: in some particular forum sections (mainly those sections that have to do with projects and action). Examples are the 'Resource sharing' forum in the Immortality Institute and the 'Welcome' section to reward those who say hello to newbies.

2) From other members: by getting positive 'reputation' votes for forum contributions or by getting direct donations from other members (anyone can donate by clicking on the 'money' icon underneath each post)

3) The main way is by being recommended by the teams coordinator for having made a valuable contribution in the past month. General awards range from 10-100 points depending on the contribution. The precise amount is not determined by the team coordinator, he just makes a general recommendation.

In order to prevent the system from being too predictable, the number of points awarded can change, but generally, the system rewards consistency and quality of community contributions.

'Points mean Prizes'
'₮' points can be converted at our 'virtual store' -- some prizes are just for fun, others are a bit more substantial.

Examples of current prizes include:

$150 Fundraiser support (₮800.00) -- If you 'purchase' this reward, LongeCity will support you in a matching fundraiser up to a value of $300. The goal of your fundraiser must be in some way related to the our mission and LongeCity will only match genuine donations by others.
Free membership for a year (₮500.00) -- This is the route for those who cannot afford membership.
$30 Voucher (₮500.00) -- If you 'purchase' this reward, you can redeem it for a single purchase from any reputable online store that ImmInst will make on your behalf. Total value not to exceed $30, including shipping.
Emoticon (₮300.00) -- If you select this reward, you can upload your own emotion, for all forum users to use from now on.

Its important to stress that LongeCity 'thank you points' are an informal gesture of appreciation not some sort of alternative currency. Yes, people could use the system to make the odd purchase online, but holding thank you points of any amount does not translate into claim. Being enrolled in the system does not establish a right to receive points and does NOT establish a legitimate expectation that points translate into any $ equivalent and should never be regarded that way.

On the other hand, while members have not used the system a great deal so far, we would encourage everyone to experiment with it: the system is meant to provide an extra incentive for volunteers and contributors. We even have a vision to base a great number of projects on this basis but we won't know if that could work until we have gathered some experience and *your* feedback.

Longecity cryonics research fundraiser success january february march 2012 $6000 matching 2

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:33:57 +0000

Uncovering the mechanisms of cryoprotectant toxicity

Joao Pedro de Magalhaes (aging@liv.ac.uk), Soren Stirling
Integrative Genomics of Ageing Group, University of Liverpool, UK

As a SPECIAL BONUS: if, together, we manage to support the project at least to a level where it can commence (~$10.000 = 5K from public donations) then LongeCity will also support the runner-up project proposed by Ben Best, Aschwin & Chana deWolfe to study the effect of blood washout and vitrification perfusion in a small animal mode, with a seed funding contribution of $1500l!!

The fundraiser was a success!

Thank you to all of the contributors that made this cryonics research fundraiser happen. The donation tracker has received its last possible donation today, we have raised not just the minimum, but the maximum. You should all be proud of yourselves. You are wary enough to know where to walk ahead and leave the important kinds of trails for future people to follow.

Longecity microglial stem cell indefinite life extension research fundraiser success

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:53:04 +0000

In total I think there is enough positive results to be found in the internet to support our theory. But to be sure we simple have to test it. So I am very glad for every penny going into our research and I truly believe that we will find out something: either that it works and we find improvements or if not then we will have found new information for the role of the microglia in Alzheimer/aging and that will help us to generate new models for therapies.

Longecity cryonics research fundraiser January - March 2012

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:59:01 +0000

During January through March of 2012, Longecity supporters raised $6,000 for two cryonics research projects, one project to test for cryoprotectant toxicity, run by Joao Pedro de Magelhaes and his team at the University of Liverpool, and other to test for reperfusion injury, run by Aschwin and Chana de Wolf at their start up, Advanced Neural Biosciences. Longecity matched the $6,000 for a total of $1,200 to the toxicity project, and a bonus of $1,500 is given to the reperfusion project since we raised the minimum $5,000 last week. This week we hit the full $6,000 goal thanks to the following pioneering minded contributors/leaders.

Longecity - Advocacy & Research For Unlimited Lifespans

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:59:13 +0000

The LongeCity (Longecity.org/ImmInst.org) is an international, not-for-profit, membership-based organization ("501-3-c status" in the United States).

Our mission is "to conquer the blight of involuntary death".

To advance this mission, we aim to provide:
-- a repository of high-quality information;
-- an open public forum for the free exchange of information and views;
-- an infrastructure to support community projects and initiatives;
-- the facilities for supporting an international community of those with an interest in life extension.

Activities
We maintain an online forum for information exchange. We have also published a book, produced a film, and organized three international conferences,.
LongeCity also sponsors small-scale scientific initiatives: A research project on laser ablation of lipofuscin and another on mitochondrial uncoupling in nematodes have been funded with LongeCity matching donations by the community. LongeCity has also sponsored related projects such as Alcor, SENS Foundation and Methuselah Foundsation. In 2010, LongeCity pioneered the "crowdsourced" multivitamin supplement "VIMMORTAL" formulated based on suggestions from the community.

Management
LongeCity is a membership-based organization governed by a 'constitution'. Members elect and deselect a Board of Directors from amongst their number. The Board appoints key officers who in turn co-ordinate volunteer activities.

Dual Names?
As of January 2011, the Immortality Institute has formally adopted 'LongeCity' as a second 'trading' name. Now, the organisation uses both names, but prefers to use "LongeCity" for its public-facing activities and "Immortality Institute" when referring to the circle of its voting members. The reason for adopting the second name was to overcome doubts about the our credibility when using the word "Immortality" in our outreach and scientific support programmes.

Logo
Our logo makes use of the following symbols:
--Two olive branches, to represent peace and cooperation;
--The figure '8' to represent an hourglass, and to represent the mathematical symbol for infinity;
--The double-helix structure of DNA, to represent the 'immortal molecule'.

LongeCity is supported by donations and by sponsored advertising. To make a one-time donation or to become a member of Longecity.org, please see the"Donate" page.
