Abstract
In ancient Greek mythology, the Moirai (apportioners), known in English as the Fates, were the white-robed incarnations of destiny. The three Moirai were: • Clotho (Greek spinner) spun the thread of life from her Distaff onto her Spindle. Her Roman equivalent was Nona (the Ninth), who was originally a Goddess called upon in the ninth month of pregnancy. • Lachesis (Greek allotter) measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. Her Roman equivalent was Decima (the Tenth). • Atropos (Greek – inexorable or inevitable) was the cutter of the thread of life. Her Roman equivalent was Morta (Dead). Klotho protein* may indeed be one of the keys that could open the doors of longevity, presented herein as Chow-Ju (Japanese, Longevity is a Good Thing Chow is long, Ju something nice), a calligraphy given to me by Professor Hiroshi Yamamoto from the University of Kanazawa, Kanazawa, Japan. The Coming 2019 Year is illustrated herein by our BHF (Brain-and-Heart Friend) Todor Krastev, Professor of Architecture. CLOTHO, GIVE ALL THE EARTHIANS A CHANCE FOR HEALTHY AND CREATIVE LONGEVITY
