          The aging process affects us all at different rates. Some people of fifty-three, like the esteemed author, look a mere thirty-five, with sparkling brown eyes, a handsome gait and the virility of a steam train. Others, like the author’s friend Colin, look like little middle-aged men at twenty-one with middle-aged outlooks of set ways and planned futures. In women the former condition is common but women rarely suffer from the latter, being fired with the insatiable drive of ambition for either an independent and distinguished career in a still male-dominated world, or a home and seven children by the time they are thirty followed by an independent and distinguished career as a Cheltenham councillor or a public relations agent for Jonathan Cape, in later life.
         No such luck for Charles Charlesworth, who was born on the 14th of March, 1829, in Stafford. At the age of four Charles had a beard and was sexually active.
         In the final three years of his life his skin wrinkled, he developed varicose veins, shortness of breath, grey hair, senile dementia and incontinence. Some time in his seventh year he fainted and never gained consciousness
         The coroner returned a verdict of natural causes due to old age.

Facebook Announces Its Third Pillar “Graph Search” That Gives You Answers, Not Links Like Google
DREW OLANOFF JOSH CONSTINE, COLLEEN TAYLOR, INGRID LUNDEN

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013

       Today at Facebook’s press event, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, announced its latest product, called Graph Search.
       Zuckerberg made it very clear that this is not web search, but completely different.
       He explained the difference between web search and Graph Search. “Web search is designed to take any open-ended query and give
you links that might have answers.” Linking things together based on things that you’re interested in is a “very hard technical problem,”
according to Zuckerberg.
       Graph Search is designed to take a precise query and give you an answer, rather than links that might provide the answer.” For
example, you could ask Graph Search “Who are my friends that live in San Francisco?”
       Zuckerberg says that Graph Search is in “very early beta.” People, photos, places and interests are the focus for the first iteration of the
product.
       Facebook Graph Search is completely personalized. Tom Stocky of the search team explains he gets unique results for a search of
“friends who like Star Wars and Harry Potter.” Then, “If anyone else does this search they get a completely different set of results.  ...C...
someone had the same set of friends as me, the results would be different [because we have different relationships with our friends].”
       You can also use Graph Search for recruiting. Stocky says if he was looking for people to join the team at Facebook, he could search
for NASA Ames employees who are friends with people at Facebook. “If I wanted to reach out and recruit them, I could see who their friends
are at Facebook. To refine them I can look for people who wrote they are “founders.”
       Photos is another big part of Graph Search. Results are sorted by engagement so you see the ones with the most likes and comments
at the top. For example, Lars Rasmussen, Facebook engineer, searched for “photos of my friends taken at National Parks.” He got a gorgeous
page of photos from Yosemite, Machu Pichu, and other parks.
