How ETS Protects the Integrity of the TOEFL® test
Prevention. Detection. Communication.
Recently there has been an increase in the competition among students applying to institutions abroad. This has brought about a rise in the number of attempts to falsify test scores. To combat these and other test security concerns, ETS employs a three-pronged approach of prevention, detection and communication to ensure the integrity of test scores.
In addition, the ETS Office of Testing Integrity constantly monitors testing, investigates security issues and strives to ensure score validity worldwide, maintaining its long-standing commitment to reliable and secure test scores.
Prevention — Five Ways ETS Works to Prevent Fraud
ETS has various procedures in place to prevent fraud in both testing and scoring. These can be seen from the test design right through to the score reporting process. Here are some of the ways the TOEFL® test is protected from fraudulent activity from beginning to end.
1. Using the Highest Standards to Create Test Content
Our prevention methods start with the design of the TOEFL iBT® test. ETS creates new test questions each year to ensure that the items are fresh and to reduce the risk of memorization and cheating. In addition, to minimize the risk of using previously administered test content to which students may have access online, ETS has contracted with a company to search the internet for TOEFL test content. Watch our video, How ETS Develops Test Questions (Flash).
2. Establishing Secure Test Centers
Test administrations occur at Certified Test Administration Sites (CTAS). Each CTAS undergoes a rigorous process through ETS to ensure testing security.
- Test center applicants receive an initial pre-qualification interview to determine if the facilities meet security and technical requirements and to secure verifiable references.
- ETS uses the same Internet security protocols as those used by major financial institutions for their secure transmissions. The communication channel uses state-of-the-art encryption, and our software is able to detect whether a transmission was altered or disrupted.
- Test content that is downloaded to a test center computer is encrypted and cannot be accessed until the actual test administration begins.
- Internet delivery ensures that no one can access test questions prior to the actual administration.
At the beginning of each test administration, the test software automatically closes all non-TOEFL iBT windows or applications, including instant messaging (IM). It closes any applications that try to open during the test and then automatically logs the incident. The software also locks the desktop, suppressing key combinations so the test taker cannot switch to any other task.
3. Ensuring the Training of Test Center Administrators
Test center staff is thoroughly trained by ETS personnel to prepare for managing test administrations. As such, test center staff are required to pass a certification exam to demonstrate their knowledge of test delivery policy, practices and procedures before they can serve as Test Center Administrators. Training includes the following security-related topics:
- Identification requirements
- Check-in procedures on the day of the test
- Security of test data and computers used for testing
- Test center layout and required distance between test takers
ETS provides a Policies, Practices and Procedures Manual to test center supervisors, featuring proprietary information from ETS. All policies and procedures in the Manual must be followed.
ETS conducts announced, unannounced and undeclared visits to test sites to observe and ensure that the highest standards are being applied to testing environments around the world.
4. Instituting and Enforcing Test-taker Rules and Requirements
On the day of the test, test takers have to meet several security requirements in order to test, including:
- Showing ETS-approved forms of identification that contain a photograph and signature
- Providing handwriting and signature samples
- Taking digital photos at the center and embedding those images into the score reports
- Passing through security wanding and ID with electronic chip (select locations)
- Monitoring with video cameras, submitting a thumb scan and submitting to metal detector scans (select locations)
To reinforce these procedures, test takers are encouraged to watch our TOEFL iBT Testing Site video (Flash) for a preview of what to expect on test day.
After checking in at the test center, test takers:
- Are prohibited from bringing items into the test center that could be used as a testing aid or to collect, share or collaborate on test content.
- Have no access to personal items such as electronic devices, books, handbags and backpacks, all of which are stored separately from the test takers to maintain security.
- Must have their identity verified by the test center administrator before starting the test, using the digital photo taken at check-in.
- Are subject to voice biometric identification and any other form of electronic confirmation.
- Must present their identification to the test center administrator and have their identity verified upon returning from breaks.
5. Maintaining the Quality of Scoring and Score Reporting
To further safeguard against fraud, scoring does not occur at the test center. ETS separates the scoring process from the testing process, eliminating many security issues. Also, test administrators cannot be directly involved in English-language instruction or test preparation, and they cannot administer the test to an individual where it could present the appearance or actual possibility of a conflict of interest.
Because ETS separates scoring from test administration, raters receive spoken and written responses from test takers worldwide; there is no possibility they will know the individuals whose responses they are given to score. See our scoring page to read more about how ETS scores the TOEFL test.
Another way ETS ensures the integrity of scores is through the security measures implemented for paper score reports. There are two types of TOEFL score reports issued on paper:
- The official score report, which is sent directly from ETS to the institutions or agencies designated by the test taker. Prior to test day, test takers can select up to four score recipients at no charge. They can also order additional score reports later for a nominal fee.
- The test taker score report, which is sent from ETS to test takers who request a paper copy.
Official score reports are printed on purple security paper; test taker score reports are on green paper. ETS uses secure paper for TOEFL score reports, including the following features:
- The security paper is Appleton DocuCheck® Watermark with TonerFuse 2. It contains a chain-link watermark on the back of the paper, which is visible when held at a 45-degree angle. This is the easiest, most obvious method of verifying the authenticity of an official score report.
- There is a Full Chemical Sensitive VOID on the face of the paper. The word "VOID" is continuously repeated on an angle throughout the entire face of the document. "VOID" is produced in multiple languages when activated by a bleach, hypochloride or ink eradicator.
- In addition, TOEFL score reports now include the words "ETS® Security Guard" in the upper right-hand corner, printed with a special heat-sensitive ink for security. To activate this security feature, recipients can apply heat to the text, either by rubbing it or blowing on it, and the ETS Security Guard text will disappear. This feature will not work if the score report has been photocopied.
- There is a Laser Lock on the face of the paper. This makes it difficult to remove toner from laser- or ion-printed documents.
- There are also laid lines on the back of the paper. Evenly spaced lines in a specially formulated grey ink, these laid lines make alteration by cutting and pasting difficult.
Detection — ETS is Vigilant in Identifying and Taking Action Against Fraudulent Activity
Even with the most stringent security prevention measures in place, fraudulent activity can occur. To ensure the integrity of TOEFL test scores, all reported incidents of fraud are taken seriously and investigated closely. Investigation of test takers can include photograph review, handwriting analysis and score analysis.
ETS closely monitors all test centers and tracks all security incidents. If it is determined that a test center does not meet ETS standards and it fails to correct the issue, it is closed. ETS also conducts random inspection of test centers as well as site visits to centers where concerns have been raised through supervisor reports, tips or test taker complaints. ETS works with national law enforcement agencies to prosecute professional impersonation rings.
Monitoring Score Statistics
Statistical analysis methods are used to help detect possible cases of cheating. The ETS Statistical Analysis team monitors score trends by test center, country and region.
- System-generated irregularity reports are reviewed after each administration.
- Site historical performance data is maintained to identify any discrepancies that need to be addressed.
- Sites are subject to quality audits and third-party observations.
Watch Psychometrics at ETS: The Science of Assessment (Flash) to learn more about ETS's Statistical Analysis, Data Analysis & Psychometric Research areas.
When ETS has reason to suspect cheating may have taken place, a security review is conducted that can include photograph review, handwriting analysis, the use of voice biometric identification and score analysis.
Communication — Keeping Institutions Informed is Our Priority
ETS works very closely with the institutions we serve around the world. ETS informs institutions that have been designated as score recipients when scores have been canceled. In addition, any concern regarding test results can be reported by the institution and will be investigated.
In the academic community, we are all dealing with a world where motivation and capability to commit academic and admissions cheating is on the rise. ETS will continue adapting best practices and creating new technologies to prevent and detect fraud. ETS always keeps institutions informed whenever improper behavior by students or test sites is discovered.
ETS is committed to giving you results you can trust.

What is equality in sports?
Friday, December 21, 2012
On Wednesday, a Merrimack County Superior Court judge issued an injunction that will allow a girl to play on the Bishop Brady High School boys' hockey team for the time being.
In general, it has been a matter of numbers. In simple terms, if the school population is 50/50 then so too must the opportunities for boys and girls to play sports — although there are some more problematic ways to satisfy the equality edict of Title IX.
While the same answer may not apply to all female players, Herrington has apparently benefited greatly by competing against the opposite sex. In challenging the NHIAA's decision, it was argued that her college prospects for advancement and athletic scholarships would be harmed if forced to play on the less challenging girls' team.
The question now is whether the playing field has truly been leveled by just money and an equal allocation of playing slots or does equality demand fielding teams based on ability, not the sex of the player?

Isabelle Top 17 17
black and white pullover Isabelle Top Much too large. I bought the Fiesta shirt and it was so small that I had to buy it in a 2X. Here the xlg is way too big~! November 5, 2014
Great top for casual occasions or night life I read what others said about the sizing and ordered a size smaller. Fits great. Nice and loose but feminine. Goes well with black or white slacks or skirt. Just enough coverage on my arms but loose enough for a soft touch. Love it. August 8, 2014
Look really appealed to me. Altho I really liked the looks of the blouse, I felt it was definitely overpriced. August 7, 2014
top the Isbelle top is perfect, beautifully made and very comfortable. July 31, 2014
blouse Looks nice with either jeans or dress slacks. Got compliments. July 9, 2014
Great Top Great style. Very comfortable. Goes well with several different pairs of pants. July 1, 2014
Just Not For Me This is a lovely top and I was excited about the print & style. However, this top is proportioned short - I'm 5'7" and curvy. It was shortwaisted, the neck hung down and was not flattering at all. So disappointed. Would I recommend the top - yes for someone shorter and slimmer. I can envision it for someone else, just not for me. If you are that person, don''t hesitate to buy the top - it would be lovely with a skirt or slacks. Good travel piece for sure. August 6, 2014
Fun to wear! I normally wear XL (16) but this was way too large, so I returned it and got an L. Fits perfectly! Love the print, goes well with black pants or skirt, especially if you add colorful accessories. So comfortable! May 29, 2014

The interesting bit about Upstart is that Canonical seems to be sticking to it and also -according to LP G+- they want to use it in the user session.

Mucking around with init systems can be tedious and if not done right it can make system unstable or even unbootable
why bother with Upstart when you have systemd? doesn the former has *any* advantage over the latter one?
or is it just a toy, just to say "look! we can do it!" that keeps everything else back (same was with udev, xfce 4.10 etc etc)?
"it's now possible to do meaningful head-to-head comparisons of boot speed between sysvinit (with startpar), upstart, and systemd. At one time or another people have tested systemd vs. sysvinit when using bash as /bin/sh, and upstart vs. sysvinit, and systemd vs. sysvinit+startpar, and there are plenty of bootcharts floating around showing results of one init system or another on one distro or another, but I'm not aware of anyone having done a real, fair comparison of the three solutions, changing nothing but the init system."
@Michael, looks like a job for... phoronix
Just, please, Phoronix, don't run some benchmarks and Declare a Victor. The extended capabilities of both upstart and systemd versus sysv are far more significant and interesting than any potential improvement in boot times they offer.
In any case, just dropping in a new init system - whether it's pinit, upstart, systemd or anything else - is not likely to result in a very significant performance difference, as most of the overhead during startup is the system doing stuff, and the init system doesn't directly change that. Both upstart and systemd potentially open up methods by which a distro could make boot more efficient, but it's still up to packagers of components that do stuff during startup to implement that, it doesn't magically happen. I doubt Debian will carry native, optimized init functions for all its packages for both systemd and upstart, and without that, a performance comparison is still fairly pointless, even using the same distro as a base.

Want venture capital? Social media use can be key
Blog Entry:
February 19, 2014 4:30 AM | Author: JONATHAN MURRAY
Jonathan Murray is managing director of
Draper Triangle Ventures
, making early-stage investments in companies in Michigan and Northern Ohio.
An early-stage, pre-revenue Midwest company I know recently opened the mail and was surprised to find a term sheet offering an investment on favorable terms. The company was surprised because it wasn't raising money, didn't know the investment firm and hadn't previously engaged with them. What happened?
As the company unraveled the unsolicited offer, it discovered that the New York-based investment company had an investment thesis and was monitoring dozens of early-stage companies in this particular market. It had devised a series of triggers, such as gaining particular brand name customers, which signaled that a company had reached the validation stage. When one of the triggers was tripped, they would make a preemptive investment offer to get out ahead of competitors. Not only were they preemptive, but they also forestalled an auction with a valuation and terms that were quite acceptable to the company.
This was a revelation that has caused me to think about how this lesson can be applied to early-stage companies seeking to raise money, particularly in regions such as the Midwest where early-stage venture capital historically has been in short supply.
Early-stage venture capital is a local business. Companies are introduced to venture capitalists (VCs) through trusted personal relationships. Investments are made based on interactions with the entrepreneur or team. VCs want to know the people in whom they invest, and to be close by portfolio companies to keep an eye on them and to help as needed during inevitable rough spots. Entrepreneurs want VCs nearby to help with strategy, resources, networking and capital-raising. These are reasons that startups cluster in places like Silicon Valley, with its proximity to the many venture firms on Sand Hill Road and the many regional networks.
Most Midwest states are trying to build their own entrepreneurial ecosystems, and capital availability is a critical component. A generation ago, entrepreneurs had to leave the Midwest and migrate to Silicon Valley to build their companies. With the efforts of states to retain them, this migration has been halted and places including Ann Arbor, Indianapolis and Cleveland are now mini-hotbeds of entrepreneurial activity. Seed capital from accelerators, angels and angel networks is growing and startups readily can get initial funding.
Unfortunately for entrepreneurs, there is a chasm after that. First-round institutional early-stage venture capital — Series A, in VC parlance — is in short supply in the Midwest. This is because there are few VCs to provide such capital, which is a function of history, market cycles, performance and capital flows into and out of various asset classes. There are many more Midwest companies getting seed funding and initial market traction that are going to need Series A financings than there are VCs to provide that funding.
What is a company to do to cross this chasm?
Capital concentrates in money centers such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and London. It also attracts very smart people who are looking perpetually for an edge in investing: overlooked opportunities that they can arbitrage for gains beyond the ordinary. These people may not think of the Midwest as a place to invest or as a hotbed of entrepreneurial activity. They may have sparse networks in the region, and they certainly aren't based locally or spending a lot of time trolling for deals. Companies have to go to them to get their attention.
Until a scant few years ago, getting on the radar of money center managers meant doing a lot of cold-calling to get appointments, traveling to them and making dozens of fruitless presentations for every one that resulted in interest. This is an inefficient, time-consuming, low-yield direct-selling activity that many companies lacked the patience, resources or persistence to bring to successful resolution.
Now, with the ubiquity of the Internet and the expansion of social media, companies can bypass this inefficiency and get the attention of money center managers with effective social media strategies. That's what happened with the company that began this thought process, though they didn't know it. Company officials were regularly posting results of their success to media outlets, blogs and social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. They rose to the top of their peer group in positive social media rankings, and this triggered the term sheet.
The world has changed. Capital is fungible and flows to opportunity. It no longer necessarily has to be provided by local people known to entrepreneurs. Companies seeking to raise capital need to actively cultivate social rankings to get the attention of distant investors. Not phony publicity, of the type that drove the dot-com bust of 2001, but genuine accomplishments, along with educational content that informs people about the company's value to customers.
Where does this leave regional VCs like me? Money center managers often want a locally based institutional investor to give them comfort that somebody nearby will be engaged with the company daily, especially earlier-stage companies. Entrepreneurs can forge productive capital structures that include local VCs and coastal capital. The more actively involved regional VCs are in that process, the likelier that companies will be able to build balanced, successful capital strategies.

|Jim Tracy did it again on Friday night.
Once again, Tracy's lack of understanding of how outs work. In the 5th inning with the Rockies down 2-0, Todd Helton led off with a single. Wilin Rosario hit into a fielders choice, forcing Helton out at second base. Jordan Pacheco then laced a double to left-center field. After Josh Rutledge struck out, Drew Pomeranz, who had already delivered 73 pitches, came to the plate.
Common sense would suggest the easy decision. Pomeranz was two pitches short of his limit and he had already given the team five strong innings, giving up only two runs. He gave the Rockies a chance to win the game. However, Tracy defied conventional wisdom and allowed Pomeranz to hit for himself. He grounded out to first base, stranding the two runners on base.
In typical Tracy fashion, Pomeranz only got one more out on the mound before being removed from the game after giving up two hits.
There isn't any logic that can be used to justify the move. Even if the Rockies have another built-in off-day, giving Pomeranz another day of rest, there is no reason to extend him beyond the 75 pitches that his arm has been conditioned to pitch, especially considering the lefty had already needed extra day of rest due to fatigue after his last start.
With the Rockies down 2-0 and Bronson Arroyo clearly fooling the Rockies, it was Colorado's only chance to tie the game up. Instead of taking a chance to get a game-tying base hit with a pinch hitter, Tracy elected to leave his young, fatigued starting pitcher in the game, regardless of the fact that he had already given the team a strong five innings.
In baseball, opportunities to score don't come every inning. It is hard to score runs, and when a pitcher has his best stuff, a manager has to put his team in the best position to put some numbers on the board. When Tracy had that chance, he passed. All too often, Tracy waits for the later innings to strike when he has the chance to do it before the opposition's plus-side bullpen comes in.
There are still a select few who defend Tracy. There are still some who believe that he is a good manager. When he makes moves, or fails to make moves like he did on Friday night, and the team loses when they only had that one chance to score, it gets hard to defend him.
The Rockies are long out of the race. They have no chance to make the postseason and they are in sell-mode. However, that doesn't mean that they should accept mediocrity. They shouldn't justify terrible moves that have make no logical sense. Where is the accountability from Tracy? When will he admit that he made a mistake?
At this point, it almost figures that Tracy would make that move. He has made the same mistakes over and over again, but has yet to learn from them. How many times have the Rockies been burned on the contact play, where the runner at third base take off for home with less than two outs, regardless of where the ball is hit? How many pitchers have been pulled early, or allowed to hit for themselves when the game was in the balance?
These are the types of moves that drive apathy from Rockies fans. It is already hard enough to win a big league baseball game, but when a team is at a disadvantage because of their own managers moves, it becomes difficult to stomach.
In a way, Friday night was a fitting game for the 2012 season. It was a game that the Rockies had a chance to win, but poor management snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Until something changes, don't expect the Rockies to be good.

Maryland Plants and Wildlife
Since Europeans first began cataloguing the plant species of Maryland in the early 18th century, over 3,000 woody and herbaceous species have been recognized. The most important, by necessity, were those which provided food and shelter. Once their basic needs were addressed, settlers began to explore and describe their finds to their brethren across the Atlantic. Because of its diverse geology, hydrology and land formation, Maryland was home to an abundance of plant species, creating unique natural communities and providing habitat to wildlife.
Early documents by botanists provide current researchers with a picture of the landscape at the time of colonization. Since that time, an estimated 300 plant species have become extinct. Declines in number are due to a variety of factors: loss of habitat through conversion to development or agriculture, changes in hydrology, fragmentation, pollution and even over-collection. The Wildlife and Heritage Service Natural Heritage Program tracks the status of over 1,100 native plants and animals that are among the rarest in Maryland and most in need of conservation efforts as elements of our State's natural diversity. Learn more about Rare, Threatened and Endangered Plants in Maryland as well as Maryland's Natural Communities by clicking on the images below.
Maryland is home to an estimated 90 species of mammals, 93 species and subspecies of reptiles and amphibians, over 400 species of birds and several hundred species of marine and freshwater fishes. An untold number of insect and other invertebrate species (crustaceans, spiders, mollusks, etc) also reside here. Of all of these thousands of creatures, over 300 are rare. One hundred and ten of these species are designated as Threatened or Endangered in Maryland and are afforded protection under the State Nongame and Endangered Species Conservation Act.
All of these creatures, regardless of how humans choose to categorize them – rare, common, game, nongame – offer us something valuable, whether tangible or not. Food, clothing, shelter, opportunities for recreation, clean water, all of these can be directly related to the existence of Maryland's wide diversity of species. Check out the Maryland Wildlife page to see lists of Maryland species as well as fact sheets on different animals found in Maryland. Learn more about Game Birds, Game Mammals and Rare, Threatened and Endangered Animals in Maryland by clicking on the images below.
Invasive Species
An increasing array of foreign invaders, plants and animals with no natural predators, are endangering Maryland's native habitats. These Invasive & Exotic Species out-compete native plants and animals, resulting in a loss of Maryland's biological biodiversity.
Ways to Get Involved
One way to help Maryland's plants and wildlife is to create backyard wildlife habitat. To find out more information on creating backyard wildlife in Maryland then visit the Wild Acres Program website.
In addition, the Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service offers a variety of Educational Programs. These programs include a variety of hunter education, educator professional development, outdoor experiences and hands-on materials.
For those who want to learn more about the biological diversity and ecosystems in your neighborhood, then consider connecting with some of the many non-profit Maryland Naturalist Organizations. Often, these organizations offer field trips, seminars, classes, and workshops to help budding naturalists and folks interested in their environment gain a deeper understanding of and greater appreciation for natural world in which they live.

N******* H****** G****** O* L**** S***** S***** would have been far better title.
http://tweakers.net/ . That's a professional tech news-site.
I'm just guessing here, but I think the main reason no-one pays more attention to this is that there's not an awful lot of point. All switchable graphics systems have an Intel chip for power saving and an NVIDIA or ATI for performance...but on Linux, the NVIDIA or ATI chip is probably only going to perform appreciably better than the Intel one with a proprietary driver. And given past history with things like RandR 1.2, the proprietary drivers aren't terribly likely to grow support for an X.org standard switching framework even if one gets written. So why bother? If you've got a switchable laptop you may as well just lock it into Intel and enjoy the power saving, or if you need performance, lock it into the other chip and use the proprietary driver...
Oh gosh.. so much for a discussion ON TOPIC. Who cares if it's sucks or blows... I'm far more pissed that you guys just spent 2 pages discussing something that's not worth reading at all.
I'm using a K42Jc notebook, so far I've only turned off the discrete GPU and I'm wondering where I can use the nVidia proprietary drivers with restarting Xorg(It doesn't need to be seamless, at least for me!) is it stable at the moment? Thanks Oh and btw, please post a link to a guide(or similar)

In the police force, "Detective Investigation Extension" or "D.I.E." was established to accommodate those who have been sent away by their supervisors. As everybody knows, members of the Extension are to investigate unsolved cold cases. Yue Chi-Long (Roger Kwok), who has cracked a large number of difficult cases by extrasensory means, is assigned to the D.I.E. because his superiors find him strange for falling asleep constantly on the job. New appointee Ying Ching-Ching (Sonija Kwok) is a good-looking girl but she means to act tough and sassy in front of others. Believing that she will get promoted soon, she solves a lot of intriguing cases. Later Ying finds out that her supervisor still has a long way to go before he reaches retirement age. She takes an uncompromising stand over every case she deals with, which leads her into constant quarrels with Long. The relationship between the pair is deteriorating day by day.

On behalf of Reel Tributes, the Alzheimer's Association, and the contest sponsors, we would like to congratulate Carol Amos for winning the inaugural Your Favorite Memory contest. Her story, "The Dining Room", was an emotional and beautifully-written tribute to her mother's sense of fashion. Carol's prize is a customized documentary film, produced by Reel Tributes, to celebrate her mother's life.
Read Carol's winning story below:
One of my earliest memories is participating in a fashion show with my mother at the YMCA when I was four or five years old. My mother made us matching poodle style dresses out of a white, blue, and black fabric with a poodle design. We were the hit of the fashion show.
My mother was an expert seamstress but mainly self-taught. She made all of our clothes and also my brother's Easter suits with matching coats. She transformed our dining room into a sewing room and we spent countless hours together as she taught me to sew at an early age. She taught me the importance of perfection. Even if a mistake was not visible, my mother would say, "I will know that it is there." So I learned how to remove stitches and took pride in wearing my well-made garment. My mother taught me about fabric, color, fashion, and how to modify a pattern to suit my own taste. I made some of the widest bell-bottom pants in high school. I continue to use my sewing skills today.
I learned to sew in the dining room but more importantly I learned life lessons. Some of the lessons were direct conversations with my mother about God, faith, achievement, honesty, time management, setting goals, and how to be a lady. My mother modeled some of the lessons as I watched her stop sewing to listen or give counsel to a friend on the telephone or to bake a cake for a bereaved friend. Other lessons such as commitment, service to others, and how to treat people, I overhead as she spoke on the telephone to friends. All of these lessons helped transform me as I developed from a girl into a woman.
When my mother began to lose her memory seven years ago, we moved her to an assisted living facility. Her sewing machine was placed in a prominent place in her suite but we soon realized that my mother lost her ability to sew. The sewing machine became just another piece of furniture. Now my mother resides in an Alzheimers facility and the sewing machine resides in my basement, both a reminder of what used to be.
After battling Alzheimers disease for over eight years, my mother still has a keen fashion sense. She sometimes compliments patients in the doctor's office about their clothes, shoes, or purses. When my mother receives compliments about her outfit, she sometimes responds, "I made this outfit not long ago." I smile because I know that I recently purchased her clothes and her statement confirms that she truly enjoys the outfit. On one occasion, my mother complimented me by saying, "I like your new suit." I was shocked because it was a new suit. Glimpses of the mother I used to know are pleasant surprises and give me strength for the remainder of this Alzheimers journey.
