Does Alzheimer's cause insomnia?
Our Mum just can't sleep. She is awake almost 24 hours a day! Sounds strange, but its true. She is quite weak, but can walk from her bedroom to the toilet and back. So she goes to the toilet about every half to one hour. Sometimes as much as every 10-15 mins. She does NOT have a urinary tract infection.
At night she wants to wake up and have tea and a snack. Then when we give her something, she says she is not hungry, or sits and has to be helped to eat. She can eat with a fork, but her eyesight is terrible and we have to help her. Its like she just want to pass the time. Then its the toilet, and bed, and tuck in, and in no time, its a repeat performance.
She does not like to be helped by non family members and keeps calling only for a certain family member constantly. She is burned out, as we all are.
Does ANYONE have similar problems or any advice for this situation please? Thanks in advance
Expert Answers
Alzheimer's may not cause insomnia as much as the disease causes disturbances in sleep patterns.
As the disease progresses, our loved ones find it more difficult to tell the difference between day and night. Unlike you or me, your mum cannot make the distinction of night time from the light of day and what the former means""time to get some sleep. Additionally, the disease itself wreaks havoc on her brain upsetting any semblance of normalcy. Finally, she may be afraid at night. A night nurse might keep her company by simply sitting in her room initially and gently massaging her.
We can guess at what's happening, but first, make an appointment with her doctor (counselor?) to evaluate the dosage and balance among her current medications. Our bodies constantly change and with these changes the tolerance for medications.
After that, you may explore with her doctor the option of taking sleeping aids maybe once or twice a week. These may further exacerbate her Alzheimer's are only intended to give her some rest as well as rest for that family member your mum keeps asking for. Another option is melatonin (chemical our bodies produce while sleeping) to ensure she feels rested since she's not likely producing melatonin on her own if she's constantly getting up.
Sleep disturbances due to Alzheimer's are a challenge not only for our loved ones but for caregivers. Consult her doctor to rule out any medicinal and dosing issues before proceeding with the other options above.

I am touched by the tenderness with which you ask this question. This is one of the most difficult issues that caregivers go through. Also, it is one that brings many of us to our knees. Sometimes it seems as if even with the best of intentions to take care, our body still has its needs. We need sleep and more.
In addition to all of the excellent suggestions above, I will share some ideas. But mostly, this question should go to all of the family caregivers on this list who are willing to share. The methods I suggest can be a fair amount of work. They are not must do, but ways that I have learned from caregivers and caregiving over the years.
Dementia often dissolves the names of things except for a few bare bones wants. An old man may call out for a caregiver. "Bob, Bob come and help me." It doesn't matter if it is a man or a woman everyone is Bob. Your mother may have lost the distinction between things and, being weak, she is in a fog which is a lonely state where she can't remember that she was just helped. But she remembers what comforts her: a little routine much like one she might have had as a small child: needing to pee, little snack, getting tucked in. Her world is very small and basic now. Can you find ways to comfort her in the day time that might cause her to relax so that you and she could rest at night?
- Does your mother get up and dressed in the morning, say by 11 o'clock?
- Does she have breakfast, lunch and supper? It could be small tea snack, but presented as a meal.
- Try a late afternoon routine of tea and cookies or a soft drink. Make it like a little celebration.
- Try to get her out onto the front porch or looking out a window in the late afternoon. Even with poor eyesight and confusion, she might enjoy seeing people return from work or children playing after school. (Whatever your neighborhood provides)
- After supper, sit with her, listen to music, read a small story, say a verse, or walk around together. Do what is comfortable and familiar for your family.
- Start a bedtime routine of getting her undressed, into night clothes, and try rubbing lotion on her hands almost like a hand massage. If she would let you, lotion on legs is also soothing.
- Develop a routine to give her bedtime medication. A sleep aide taken with warm milk could be very helpful. Soft music might help as it takes a sleeping pill at least 30 minutes to work.
- Also, consider that your mother might be tense from pain that she cannot tell you about. People with dementia often endure pain which is experienced as tension. Pain medication, appropriately administered can release tension and bring comfort and ease and healing sleep.
- Also, you could ask the doctor if your mother might be an appropriate candidate for hospice or palliative care. Their nurses are experts in bringing comfort for the patient and the family at this stage of life. Even if your mother is not yet ready for this stage of life, a consultation could help.
Thank you for your answers Brenda Avadian and Ann Cason.
Ann - thank you for stating that the question was asked with tenderness. It was. We love our Mum. Most of the suggestions you have made are being followed. Melatonin did not work unfortunately, as it gave her awful and scary dreams and almost hallucinations.
We have found that she likes to put coins in the piggy bank lately, so that keeps her happy for a bit. She likes to take turns doing it.
I can tell you I take care of a 93 year old Alzheimer's patient. She has insomnia, I have found that all Alzheimer's patients are so different. they say it depends a lot on your personality traits before the "devils disease" attacks...
I am so sorry to hear about your mom's condition, it may be heartbreaking to all of you who cares for her. In line with your question, people with Alzheimer's often have trouble sleeping, not necessarily insomnia but the confusion with time and place may play a big role why she is always awake, another symptom is repetitive speech or actions. This symptom may explain why your mother keeps on going to the bathroom every now and then. After all, Alzheimer not only affects a person's memory but behavior and thinking as well.
It would be advisable to seek the help of a doctor to check if she is already in the advance stage of the disease. If she only asks the help of family members, and you are willing to be her personal caregiver, there are lots of caregiver support organization that can provide you with professional advice. Or you may opt to hire a caregiver who have specific training in management of people with Alz. If you see other activities from your mom that you think is not normal, you can check this comprehensive infographics with detailed information on the signs and symptoms of the disease: http://www.infolongtermcare.org/iltc-news/infographic-all-about-alzheimers-disease/

I love everything related with fashion. I am never too busy to check out new fashion trends, follow fashion blogs and check out the photos of the celebs taken at various award functions, weddings etc. Recently Ritiesh Deshmukh and Genelia's wedding offered me a great opportunity to check out wedding trends. As I went on checking all celebrity sarees , and it is not only just this occasion but many more before and after this, one thing that came to my mind was most of the our actors prefer donning designer sarees. May it be Over The Top transparent, sequined Manish Malhotra or inspired by ethnic weaves by Sabyasachi. No wonder it came as a breezer when I spotted Asin in Genelia- Ritiesh wedding the traditional Kasavu saree from her home state complete with jasmine flowers in her hair.
I agree, there is nothing wrong in wearing designer sarees and they do look lovely in most of the cases except for some really hideous designs by so called modern designers, yet I can't help reminisce over the soft rustle of kanjeevarams, Patolas and Mysore silk as we used to run through them as small kids at social occasions. Their muted voices like those of khandani bahus have lost in the loud noises of chamak chhallos of so called designer sarees. Here I am talking about the designer sarees as in the ones you get at retail shops in abundance, not the exclusive ones. So here are my top 10 Indian classic weave sarees I would like to see coming back on the social scene…
1. PAITHANI – Nothing can beat a classic Paithani worn along with traditional ensemble of nath, bajuband and traditional necklaces. Every Maharashtrian lady worth her salt has a Paithan in her wardrobe. They come in vibrant colors and have a typical pattern of peacocks or creepers on their border and pallav as you can see below in the picture.
2. KANJEEVARAM – This is one of the most popular of traditional sarees thanks to Vaijayantimala and Hema Malini. Nevertheless, it is so regal that it always steals the show when draped nicely. They are generally marked with broad border, many a times with a temple pattern. Originally coming from a place called Kanjeevaram in Tamil Nadu, they can be found in all the cities across India.
3. CHANDERI – This lovely saree hails from the town of Chanderi from Madhya Pradesh. Famous for its fine, almost transparent weave, its suitable for any function . Here's a photo of Kareena wearing these sarees gifted to her by the weavers of Madhya Pradesh while promoting 3 Idiots
4. BANARASI – There was a time when no wedding would be complete without a traditional Banarasi saree or shalu as it was locally called. This is a very rich saree, most of the times heavily embroidered with gold thread with Mughal patterns. It comes from the handlooms of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. This is one saree which has power to lift up any occasion from ordinary to special. Best reserved for weddings. Here you can see Katrina wearing it with a contemporary blouse while Aishwarya wearing one with a traditional blouse
5. KASAVU – This one is Kerala's most popular saree. Every Mallu woman has one in her wardrobe, especially reserved for occasions such as Onam or visits to the temple. This rich cream colored saree with brocade border and pallav looks simple yet very very elegant.
6. GARA – These intricately embroidered sarees are considered as one of the most prized possessions of Parsee families. Often passed down from generation to generation as family heirloom, their value is perhaps equal to the entire family's wardrobe put together. Originally they were imported from China and were famous for their intricate Chinese embroidery around their border. The fine embroidery and weaving would take a long time hence they used to be very expensive and were used only on special occasions such as weddings.
7. SAMBALPURI - Sambalpuri Saree from Orissa is traditionally a tie and dye Ikat saree made on hand loom. It is famous for its symbolic motifs of Shankha(conch), Chakra (wheel), flowers. In these sarees, the yarn is dyed in a pre-conceived manner so as facilitate the weaver to follow his design. The unique feature of these sarees is that they have almost identical pattern on both sides. This saree gained popularity under the patronage of the late Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.
8.BALUCHARI - The well- known Baluchari saree of West Bengal is originally from Baluchar village near Murshidabad. It was patronized by the Nawabs of Bengal. Once a flourishing trend, this art later declined in the British period. The classic Baluchari saree has scenes from Indian epics depicted on its pallav, while the repeated motifs from the pallav are used in wide border.
9.BANDHANI OR BANDHEJ – These are tie and dye technique sarees are from Rajasthan and Gujrat. Bandhani has got its name from `bandh' that tie a knot. Small circles and dots are formed to make designs in different dynamic colors. These sarees are made in Rajkot, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kutch and many other parts but the most famous is the Gharchola of Jamnagar. This particular saree is worn by a Gujrati bride. It is usually a red saree divided in squares by rows of white tie- dyes spots or zari. The smaller the dots the more fine quality the saree is. White Bandhani saree with red border is called Panetar which generally gifted to a Gujrati bride by her maternal uncle.
10. DHARMAVARAM - Dharmavaram are the most well known among the many handwoven sarees of Andhra Pradesh. Originally from the small town of Dharmavaram in Anantpur district . they are famous for their broad solid colored borders with contrast pallu brocaded with gold patterns. It takes around 4-8 days of two persons hard work to weave one saree depending on the intricacy of its work. These sarees can be found in cotton, tussar and cotton sillk apart from silk.
I know, I have not included many other beautifully woven sarees such as Kota, Mysore silk, Venkatgiri, Pocham palli, Munga silk, Jamdani, but to cover those and many more, I will have to write another blog. For the time being I will do some thinking on deciding which of these sarees I would like to buy first.

July 19, the 36th anniversary of Chappaquiddick and the same date President Bush nominated a decent, honest person to replace liberal Justice Sandra Day O'Connor who once again exposed herself for what she is by questioning why her replacement wasn't a woman. What a tacky way to exit.
Now the senior Senator from Massachusetts and his Senate friends will attempt to dig up dirt on a nominee who has lead an exemplary life, free of drowned young female companions that we know of. If all else fails look for embarrassing "memos" of questionable origin to surface out of some quality source such as Sandy Burger's socks or Dan Rather's mailbox. All this will be accomplished with the help of the national media as they gasp their last breath of credibility.
Both of these liberal institutions are losing credibility at the same time. Their playbooks are thin and the public is tiring of the constant fighting. This could make the President's next pick easier.

Renegotiating NAFTA
NAFTA was a bipartisan effort to benefit capital over the average worker. Sold as a way for American goods to be sold cheaper in Canada and Mexico, it really was a way for American capital to invest in Canada and Mexico to skirt American environmental regulations and standards of living. It was another example of former President Clinton pulling the Democrats under the FIRE economy's thumb and away from its old labor ties. The only public figure at the time against it seemed to be Ross Perot with his patriotic sense of noblesse oblige.
It took nearly 25 years and another version of Perot to win the presidency in order to even consider renegotiating NAFTA. Former president Obama flirted with it on the campaign trail in 2008. The current system said, "Sorry kid, can't mess with the good sheep shearing business we have going". The opportunity here is that America can renegotiate for more favorable terms for the people that came out for Trump in the upper Midwest on the hopes that some decent jobs that do not require thousands in college debt would return.
This is prime time to hold Mexico over the barrel. Is Mexico a straight up failed state, a narco-state or a muddling state of great potential? It is hard to tell but failed state looks more appropriate. It is bad enough when the leadership in Mexico openly threatens to unleash the cartels if President Trump were to push forward with all his border promises. Note that even Playa Del Carmen is seeing cartel massacres and violence now, and that was the final vacation hot spot that was free of cartel violence. Safety and security is that bad in Mexico even in those lush spots.
The danger is that the Kushnerites and Goldman crowd renegotiates NAFTA and inserts a bunch of TPP style provisions and screws American workers over. It would be a renegotiation that shifts the terms even more in capital's favor. There is a chance the Kushner wing is this incredibly stupid, but if re-election depends on the Big 10 Sailer strategy, then they will feed the manufacturing spots of the Midwest with red meat. All of Trump's meetings with union heads since the election have probably focused on this. If labor unions have been screwed by the Democrats since the Clinton admin, they may be far more open to a nominal Republican's promises.
The media should be asking why it took this long for any president to consider renegotiating NAFTA. Why did not W renegotiate it after a decade of seeing the adverse effects and why did Obama fail to address it after a decade of supposedly fighting for the working class? We know why. The entire pundit class was supportive of free flow of capital and labor, which means capital since labor has a harder time moving. Academia churned out reports stating free trade helped by 1% or added 100,000 jobs. Academics could not be pinned down by inquiring journalists (on the same ideological team) where the jobs were gained and where they were lost. Lost in this were the detrimental effects not just in employment but in entire communities as plants closed.
For the blackpillers out there, to consider America ending NAFTA entirely was a pipe dream. Trade agreements between the three nations existed prior to NAFTA. NAFTA was a consolidation of them as well as an acceleration. Mexico had to realize this was coming someday unless America formally annexed Mexico. At the rate of Mexicanization of America, this might have been 2025 had Clinton won.
Trump threatening to pull out of NAFTA is so fear inducing because he was such a wild card that Mexico will consider any renegotiations as a best alternative to America leaving. This negotiation tactic is jumping so far outside the window of normal to drag the other partner closer to your intended landing point. A classic example is a man continuously hinting at eloping, and then when proposing says 'let's elope', forcing the woman to then negotiate up from 0 for guests as a compromise. Had the man said "100 guest wedding" when the woman wanted 200, the negotiations start from 100 on up.
Pull the blackpill IV out for one moment and wait to see the results of negotiations. If NAFTA becomes worse, then chug the blackpill nectar. Until then, keep fighting the culture war online and in your communities. You will not be in the NAFTA renegotiations room, but you can be the lighthouse for normies and regular people to slowly push back on the prog dominated culture we live in.
7 comments:
I favor the old school approach. Trade is fine but forget big agreements, just set our own tariffs at a point where they level the playing field between american wages and foreign wages. On goods we don't produce, like coffee, open trade completely.
Its simple, but wealth can't be skimmed by global capital and special interests when legislation is simple. So we need 10000 page trade agreements.
NAFTA helps big farms but hurts manufacturing. A quick look at the McKinley vs Bryant election of 1896 shows what protection vs. free trade coalitions look like (Byrant the was the Democrat free trader). There's been some structural changes since then but the point is clear: Much of the GOP's current national strength is in farm country, where free trade rules and has always ruled.
We'll get nibbling around the edges and thats it. There can be no other way. Trump won't approve a big new Gary Cohn trade agreement, and he is paralyzed by the GOP coalition into doing anything strong enough to help manufacturing in a big way.
You want black pill? Open borders are part of Agenda 21. The Rubicon is already crossed. Even if borders are closed in the next year or two, Agenda 21 is still on track and on schedule.
Whites had reduced their TFR to below replacement. It was a normal under-shoot and would have corrected to even replacement easily and soon enough. As such, it was a problem for The Elite in two ways:
1) wage-slaves won't show up to work once their economic wants and needs are reasonably satisfied (see UAW circa 64-72) -- unlimited wants and needs is a lie promulgated by (((economists))), most healthy people don't think or act that way -- it's takes financial duress and threat of ill-outcome for their children to keep them motivated.
2) multi-cultural, balkanized societies are a pre-requisite for civil war. Civil war is pre-requisite for depopulation. As Heariste says diversity + proximity = war. The corollary is, high-IQ mono-culture + financial security = peace.
Once technology has progressed to a point that you don't need a large white working class driving the engine of production -- vast swaths of production can be handled through automation now -- whites just get in the way. There are far better races for constituting a servant class than whites.

Good piece. Playa del Carmen is not the last safe destination in Mexico. Los Cabos is quite safe and has alot lower crime rates than most US cities.
- paworldandtimes said...
There is a White Genocide but the reasoning here is wrong:
-- Civil war is pre-requisite for depopulation.
Wars create spikes in birth rates for a number of reasons. The wives are less beholden to sterile pursuits. Women run to their men for security and at younger ages and put out more.
-- There are far better races for constituting a servant class than whites.
Would you trust a mud to do any job right unsupervised? For a pleasant experience, would you rather go into a convenience store run by White teens or browns? Non-Whites are less honest, less competent, obsequious when not surly, and ugly.
It's a little disheartening to see Trump supporters buy into the media narrative of the 100 days. If everything promised isn't accomplished 100 days in then we may as well have elected Hillary or some such. The big issue with Trump was always illegal immigration. Everything else was gravy, and even 100 days in we have gravy to celebrate. As far as the totality of issues (wall, trade, less interventionist FP) I'll judge him at the end of the term. Even at the end of term the judgement will be on progress made on these goals, not necessarily the completion of these goals. If there is no completed wall but construction has begun, great! If NAFTA is still around but changes have been made that ameliorate the situation, great! Politics as they say is the art of compromise. If at the end of the day we mostly get what we want then we are winning. This would be in stark contrast to the usual bipartisanship which is one step forward two steps back.
For a pleasant experience, would you rather go into a convenience store run by White teens or browns? Non-Whites are less honest, less competent, obsequious when not surly, and ugly. .
That is very true. But the Hermes store in Manhattan or San Francisco is always going to be staffed by whites or the very high end of the Asian/NAM nexus. And that's all our Overlords care about. Nobody that matters ever goes into a convenience store.
Wars create spikes in birth rates for a number of reasons.
Only the small ones.

Mediterranean Kale & White Bean Soup With Sausage
Recipe by Battle in Seattle
Pulled from Fine Cooking Magazine (Feb/Mar. 2008)--my current FAVORITE cooking magazine. I made it last night for the family, and WHOA, is it good! Granted I am blessed with two little boys and a husband who love nearly all food, but they all liked this one A LOT! It isn't overly brothy--consider adding a couple more cups of broth if you like it more "wet." It's garlicky, fairly simple, and very nutritious! The magazine says it's best served with crusty cheese toasts. I did just that, and served it with (Safeway brand) frozen five-cheese toast. YUM!
Top Review by Lynette in Chandler
This is a great soup! I've made it a few times now and keep trying to add a little more flavor and substance. Here's my changes and both my husband and I think this the best version. Instead of six cups of chicken broth, use 8 cups. One bunch of kale instead of one pound. Add 1/2 teaspoon of oregano when the chicken broth is added. Add 1 cup of dry tortellini and simmer and additional 30 minutes. Top with grated parmesan cheese. Yummy!

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 4 or 5-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, working to break into bite sized pieces, until lightly browned, about five minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving any rendered fat in the pot.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the pot, increase the heat to medium-high, and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and beginning to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the carrot and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften and brown, about 2 minutes more. Be sure to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the garlic, pepper flakes, salt & black pepper and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat.
- When the broth reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium, add the sausage along with any collected juices, and HALF of the beans.
- Mash the remaining cup of beans with a fork or wooden spoon and add them to the pot, stirring to distribute.
- Stir in the kale, adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, and simmer until the kale is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (I cover the pot loosely during this step to prevent too much reduction in the broth.).
- Stir in the lemon juice and zest just before serving.
- (It's even better the next day!).

Dear Poll: Do you Use your Work E-Mail to Engage in Less than Professional Banter?
These days, working professionals are spending more time behind their desks than with their loved ones. With that said, communicating with the opposite sex over the internet is the easiest way to date, make plans, get caught up, and even simply flirt. I think we can all agree that it makes your day fly by when you carry on some fun, playful banter with your new crush -- but what about engaging in unprofessional conversations over your work e-mail? We all know every keystroke you make on your work computer is recorded, but what I want to know is, do you still engage in less than professional conversation over company e-mail?

For those wanting to be within spitting distance of Wells Cathedral, The Swan is a great place to stay - nicely decorated bedrooms, stunning view and affordable too!
Off the beaten track places to stay
Somerset's interior hosts a National Park and three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Levels and Moors are a rural idyll, where traditional crafts and local ciders still epitomize West Country Life.
For the best places to stay in Somerset that are slightly off the beaten track:
- Langford Fivehead is a historic and stylish country B&B. Book the whole place and have a weekend party to remember!
- The Devonshire Arms is a good spot for exploring the Levels - quiet country pub on the outside, it is very much upmarket bistro style with rooms on the inside.
Its patchwork of historic towns and unadulterated villages provide a diverse selection of places to stay Somerset, all in beautiful settings.
The Old Priory, just 15 minutes from Bath, another restaurant with rooms in a beautiful old building with stacks of period features or for something slightly different check into the Archangel in Frome. A chic and sophisticated proposition, think Bath quality and style but not the prices - very glamourous and with imaginative English cuisine to boot!
Nothing in our selection of the best places to stay in Somerset that fits the bill? Why not check out our choices in the neighbouring counties of Dorset or Devon.

There must have been something in the water Wednesday with NSW south coast beach-goers left baffled by a shark's whale-sized meal.
A sun-soaked day at South Broulee was cut short when a large shark attacked and killed a humpback whale.
The juvenile mammal was spotted earlier in the day, washed onto rocks.
But the whale was washed back of the rocks and eaten before rescuers could save it.
"Twenty minutes later a massive shark came in and just took half of it," Far South Coast director of surf lifesaving Andrew Edmunds said.
The bizarre incident closed the beach for the rest of Wednesday and locals and visitors were advised to stay away from the water.
The Westpac Lifesaver 3 helicopter was sent to Broulee about 3pm because of concerns a large school of sharks was feeding on the whale carcass at South Broulee. It returned to base by 3.40pm after spotting two sharks.
More than 200 people were on the rocks earlier in the day.
Experts from Marine Mammal Rescue and Research Australia and representatives of the Marine Park Authority arrived on the scene about 3.15pm.
A National Parks and Wildlife Service spokesman confirmed the whale taken by a shark was a sub-adult humpback whale.
"They grow very quickly from birth [3 metres] to 8-10 metres within about two years. This one looks in very poor condition which is very likely the reason it beached," he said.
"The sharks are just doing what sharks do. They are sometimes called the garbage men of the sea - they help keep the oceans clean by consuming carcasses of dead animals."
The beached whale attack was not the only seaside twist on Wednesday.
Beachgoers were on the look-out for a shark at Forster's One Mile Beach when they heard lifeguard whistles, but the warning was for a brown snake that emerged from the water - right between the flags.
Olivia Moffatt, who was visiting the Great Lakes, said most of the other swimmers on the packed beach thought it was a sea snake.
"Tourists and locals fled from the water after the whistles were blown. At first people were concerned it may have been a shark, only to discover a 1.5-metre brown snake," she said.
While some beach-goers might be reluctant to take a dip on Thursday the NSW South Coast is set for more warm weather.
Batemans Bay is forecast to reach 31 degrees with a possible shower late in the day, followed by 28 degrees and a shower or two on Friday and Saturday.
Eden beach-goers may also face late showers over the next few days, with 28 degrees forecast for Thursday, 24 on Friday and 25 on Saturday.

The hotel portion of this property is fine. The room was clean and other than a scruffy desk chair, it was in good shape. When we used the excellent water park, we were told our room keys were waterproof. Upon returning to our room (btw, this place is big and you will walk a lot), the key did not work. I walked back to the front desk in my wet suit and asked for a new key. I was told "we just repainted, you need to push on the door harder. We just had a group of asian businessmen here who couldn't open the door either. It was really funny" I told the desk worker the lock was not working and she told me I really needed to push harder. I had to ask the other desk person for a new key which worked fine.
We had dinner in the nearly empty bar/restaurant which was awful. Poor service, multiple servers who all seemed unaware of each others actions, and food and expensive. I ordered a beer when we sat down and they spent a good 20 minutes running all over to find the brand I asked for. they kept assuring me it was coming. I had 2 glasses of iced water while I waited. Finally, halfway through my entree, my lukewarm beer arrived. Breakfast the following morning was also bad. Very expensive buffett food and still a clueless staff.
Coco Key is fun. Comparable to or better than Kahuna Laguna.

Twinning Partnership Model
A twinning partnership happens when two or more academic institutions or community organizations share collective knowledge and resources to address issues and concerns. They are based on peer-to-peer relationships among health care (or another discipline) professionals to design technologically- and economically-appropriate solutions to problems in the host country. The twinning partnership model was chosen for this collaboration because its principles aligned with our vision, mission and values, and because there were positive outcomes when this model was adapted previously to similarly resource-limited settings. This model differs from traditional professional exchanges or global health partnerships in that it involves all partners in the decision-making process, emphasizes long-term relationships, builds collective efficacy, requires significant volunteer time from all partners, and values the experience and knowledge of all.
The structure of the twinning partnership to develop emergency medicine at AAU/TASH was designed according to the model developed by the American International Health Alliance (AIHA), a U.S.-based NGO that manages global health twinning partnerships [see figure].
The six phases to developing a twinning partnership are 1) Initiate the partnership, 2) Develop a shared work plan, 3) Implement the program, 4) Monitor outcomes, 5) Evaluate results, and 6) Disseminate information. The Ethiopia emergency medicine partnership followed the twinning partnership 6-phase model to address the entire spectrum of services:

Date: mid-19th–early 20th century
Geography: Australia, Northern Territory, Kalgoorlie (?)
Culture: Kalgoorlie (?)
Medium: Wood, stone, spinifex resin, sinew
Dimensions: H. 25 1/4 x W. 5 1/2 x D. 1 in. (64.1 x 14 x 2.5 cm)
Classification: Wood-Implements
Credit Line: The Michael C. Rockefeller Memorial Collection, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Klejman, 1965
Accession Number: 1978.412.837
Aboriginal peoples across Australia formerly used spear throwers in both hunting and warfare. When in use, the implement was held by the handle at the base and the small hooklike projection at the top fitted into the hollow butt end of a long, lightweight spear. The implement effectively increased the length of the user's arm, providing a mechanical advantage that enhanced both the velocity and the distance that the spear could be thrown. Although spear throwers enabled a hunter or warrior to hit an animal or adversary at a range of up to eighty yards, in most cases the users preferred to approach the target as closely as possible to ensure the greatest possible force and accuracy in the throw.
This spear thrower reportedly originated in the Kalgoorlie Region of Western Australia. The designs may represent a variant of the zigzag motifs that appear widely on implements from the region, here reduced to a series of vertical lines with only a single, subtly angled bend in the middle, which combine to create a refined design with a pleasing visual rhythm.


text: Sean Cody recently took a gang of his guys on vacation to Hawaii and I've been showing off some of their antics here for you. The guys had a great time, but Sean Cody complained about the challenge of keeping the guys away from random pussy. You see, some of the guys are straight and some are gay. Surprisingly, the gay ones are easy; they behave themselves. The straight ones are always on the hunt for pussy. And this makes it hard, especially when the crew knows a film shoot is coming up. The last thing you want is for one of the straight guys to be wasting his load on some off-screen tryst with a chick. The night before Sean Cody shot this hot fuck scene, he noticed Matt tucked behind a palm tree talking to a petite Asian girl. She was laughing and hanging on every word he said. And you know what that means. So later than night, Sean Cody arrived at Matt's room unannounced. When he knocked on the door he heard scurrying and voices. Matt stood in the doorway looking guilty. BUSTED! And Sean Cody found the Asian girl crouched on the balcony. Thank goodness for Sean Cody's intervention. Jake's hungry fuck hole was primed and ready for a nice dick like Matt's and we wouldn't want any performance issues. And when you see this video you'll know there definitely know there weren't any. Matt fucked Jake's ass all over the hotel room and there are some pretty juicy shots of Jake's fat, uncut dick flopping to Matt's fucking rhythm.

This Chicago, Illinois, USA-based nu metal outfit attracted a great deal of media attention with their March 2000 debut, The Sickness. The band was formed by Dan Donegan (1 August 1968, Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA; guitar), Fuzz (b. Steve Kmak, Covington, Kentucky, USA; bass), Mike Wengren (b. Chicago, Illinois, USA; drums), and the charismatic Dave Draiman (b. David Michael Draiman, 13 March 1973, Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA; vocals). Draiman, who also suggested the bands name, provided an immediate focal point when he joined the three other members in 1997. The quartet soon built up a sizeable following on the Chicago rock scene, but national success beckoned when their demo caught the attention of the major Giant Records. The Sickness polished off the rough edges of their demo, leaving a fairly traditional metal sound with the occasional nod to electronica in the style of White Zombie or System Of A Down. In common with most of their nu...

"Best views in Adelaide"
It's hard to beat Davey Crescent, Seaview Downs for views. The land rises very quickly as you go up Morphett Road. It is steep with spectacular views of Gulf St Vincent, Brighton, Glenelg, Adelaide Airport, Adelaide CBD, and the Adelaide hills. It is forward on the hill so you have a close view of the city and as far north as the eye can see. The city lights at night will hold you spellbound. Million dollar views and worth every penny.

Jay-Z is now a certified MLB agent
Less than three months after stealing Robinson Cano away from Scott Boras, Jay-Z is officially a certified MLB agent.
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
You can file this under something that I never thought I would see: Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, is now a licenced player agent, the MLBPA has announced.
Back in April, Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano ditched Scott Boras in favor of Roc Nation, Jay-Z's entertainment company. Roc Nation got into sports representation as part of a partnership with CAA Sports, which is when the world learned Jay-Z wanted to become an agent. He has obviously accomplished that goal.
It's unclear how active the rapper and media mogul will be in negotiations for his clients, but it was reported that Brodie Van Wagenen of CAA Sports would handle Cano's upcoming contract. Cano is due to become a free agent this winter, and the Yankees have confirmed preliminary extension talks have already taken place. I assume Jay-Z will take on a more active role as time goes on.
Along with Cano, Roc Nation also represents NFL players Victor Cruz and Geno Smith, NBA star Kevin Durant and WNBA player Skylar Diggins. Jay-Z recently became a certified NBA agent as well and is working towards NFL certification.
Juan Perez, the president of Roc Nation, was also granted MLB agent certification along with employee Rich Kleiman.

The underlying reasons are not exactly clear, but males pose a greater risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
On February 27 Cell Press published a study in the American Journal of Human Genetics supporting the theory of "female protective model," indicating females require more extreme genetic mutations to push them over the diagnostic threshold for neurodevelopmental disorders than males.
Study author Sébastien Jacquemont of the University Hospital of Lausanne says, "This is the first study that convincingly demonstrates a difference at the molecular level between boys and girls referred to the clinic for a developmental disability" The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders shows a gender bias for ASD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and intellectual disability. "The study suggests that there is a different level of robustness in brain development, and females seem to have a clear advantage," says Jacquemont. It has been suggested by some researchers that a social bias in males increases the likelihood of diagnosis. Others have proposed that there are sex-based differences in genetic susceptibility. In past studies investigating biological explanations inconclusive results have been produced for the gender bias.
Jacquemont teamed with Evan Eichler of the University of Washington School of Medicine to examine this question by analyzing DNA samples and sequencing data sets of one cohort consisting of about 800 families affected by ASD and another cohort consisting of nearly 16,000 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. The researchers analyzed individual variations in the number of copies of a particular gene, copy-number variants (CNVs), and DNA sequence variations affecting a single nucleotide, and single-nucleotide variants (SNVs).
They found greater number of harmful CNVs in females diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder or ASD than did males diagnosed with the same disorder. Moreover, there was a greater number of harmful SNVs in females diagnosed with ASD than there were in males with ASD. These findings suggest that more extreme genetic alterations are required in the female brain than is required in the male brain to produce symptoms of ASD or neurodevelopmental disorders. Suggesting that the burden difference is genome wide, the focus has been taken off the X chromosome for the genetic basis of the gender bias.
"Overall, females function a lot better than males with a similar mutation affecting brain development," Jacquemont says. "Our findings may lead to the development of more sensitive, gender-specific approaches for the diagnostic screening of neurodevelopmental disorders."

Frank K. Kelly (1914-2010)
posted Monday 26 July 2010 @ 4:46 pm PDT
SF writer Frank King Kelly, 95, died June 11, 2010 in Santa Barbara CA. Kelly began publishing SF with "The Light Bender" in Wonder Stories (1931), and published a number of stories, mostly dark space operas, until he stopped writing fiction in 1935. His stories were eventually collected in Starship Invincible (1979). In 1996, he was inducted into the First Fandom Hall of Fame.
Born June 12, 1914 in Kansas City MO, Kelly served in WWII, and worked as a journalist, non-fiction writer, and speechwriter for Harry Truman. He co-founded the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in 1959, and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation in 1982, and remained active in both well into the 21st century. The Frank K. Kelly Lecture on Humanity's Future was established in his honor in 2002.
