- Fuel Tank: The fuel tank was completely redesigned and re-engineered. The internal baffles were added inside the fuel tank to ensure that the fuel will always be in the area around the fuel line intake so even in the fast and long corners the fuel will be constantly supplied to the engine which results into more stable performance of the engine. The 125cc fuel tank with hypertonic tank lid and internal stone-type filter is positioned in the center of the car, and features a unique low-profile design to allow the fuel tank to sit as low as possible. Rubber mounting grommets help to reduce vibration. The special composite mixture used in the molded tank guarantees it to be extremely strong and robust. Gluing of the tank pieces is performed by a special self-developed robotic system that ensures maximum accuracy and precision in pre-heating and gluing.
- Low Profile (LP) Shocks: RX8 shock absorbers were completely redesigned and re-engineered. The LP shocks were developed to lower the CG of the car in order to improve stability. With the LP shocks, the RX8 stays flatter, making it easier to drive in chicanes and more resistant to traction roll, letting you carry more speed through high traction sweepers. To accommodate the Low Profile shock absorbers, specific pistons were designed and produced. 3 and 4 hole pistons with 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3mm diameter holes are included and have been molded using special methods from Delrin material to ensure extreme roundness, while maintaining maximum stiffness and durability. The shock bodies are shorter, but with a larger diameter to retain the same volume of oil as the previous, longer RX8 shocks.
- Short Shock Springs (3S): The 3S springs have been specifically designed to compliment the LP shocks and the rear springs are 4mm shorter than previous RX8 springs. The RX8 is equipped with C7.5 springs in the front to provide maximum stability and steering and C5.0 springs in the rear to provide maximum traction and cornering speed. The front and rear springs are the same length in order to get more in-corner steering and simplify your tuning parts selection. The 3S springs, like all the other XRAY springs, are manually measured, selected and matched into pairs to guarantee precisely equal length and damping characteristics.
- Shock Towers: To maximize the effect of the LP shocks, both front and rear shock towers were completely redesigned and lowered by 2.5mm in rear and 5mm in front to help move the CG as low as possible. Machined from premium-grade 3.0mm graphite, the shock towers are smaller, lighter, more compact and, after vigorous testing, have been race-tuned to increase on-power steering.
- Reverse Clutch Set: The reverse clutch design provides smoother and faster acceleration, while increasing the life of the clutch shoe. The easily-adjustable 3-shoe XCA (XRAY Centrifugal-Axial) clutch features a clutchbell, clutch nut, flywheel nut and thrust bearing collar made from exclusive HUDY Spring Steel™. The hard coated flywheel, clutch disc and spring cup are made from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum. The internal shape of the clutchbell and clutchnut were redesigned to ensure easier clutch gap adjustment.
- Ultra Stable Clutch Spring: The Ultra Stable Clutch Spring has very similar characteristics to the XRA348540 Conical Clutch Washer Spring Set. The main difference is that the ultra stable clutch spring works in a wider range of conditions and is easier to install. In order to eliminate spring deformation during use, the spring was pre-compressed as part of the production process. This results in the spring having a slightly shorter length. The length and characteristics of the spring will remain consistent even after a long period of use.
- Front Bumper: The front lower bumper was redesigned for increased durability & reliability, but more importantly, to achieve higher performance of the car. The new downforce deflectors create increased downforce. The downforce of the car can be easily controlled and adjusted with the bumper outer window inserts which can be removed. The front upper bumper holder was redesigned as well to increase the durability and to withstand serious crashes. The front upper and lower composite bumpers are made from a special composite material to withstand hard impacts.
- Rear Body Holders: The rear body mount holder was redesigned and an extra body mount position was added which allows the body to be mounted higher. The body mount was also reinforced for increased reliability and durability.
- Rear Suspension Extensions: The rear suspension arm graphite extensions were redesigned for increased durability. The graphite front and rear extensions are used for optimized shock mounting positions.
- Muffler Mounting: The aluminum muffler holder is mounted to the left bulkhead. The extra long muffler wire fits all standard mufflers. The front left bulkhead was updated and redesigned to fit the muffler mounting system as well.
- Larger 2-Speed Ball-Bearing: The rear 2-speed ball-bearing is larger for increased durability and reliability. The rear right bulkhead was redesigned and updated to accommodate the larger 2-speed ball-bearing.
- Stronger Servo Saver: The stronger adjustable servo saver spring ensures more precise and increased steering as well improved steering response. The servo saver shaft is now machined from steel and ensures increased reliability and strength. The centralized servo saver is ball-raced to ensure super-precise, smooth operation. Easily-adjustable 4 position Ackermann allows you to adjust the steering characteristics to suit your driving style and track conditions.
- Reinforced Bushing: The steel bushing for the belt tensioner also serves as a centering bushing at the rear center plate. The bushing is reinforced and stronger to ensure increased reliability of the belt tensioner as well of the centering plate.
- Brake Cam Post: The reliability of the brakes was improved with the steel brake cam post which increases the durability.
- Lightweight Parts: To improve efficiency, the RX8 features a lightweight front middle shaft manufactured from HUDY Spring Steel™ and lightweight brake disk adapter which have reduced weight but still sufficient strength to transfer the power from the engine to the wheels. These lightweight components and super smooth drive train help provide the RX8 with a distinct advantage in drivetrain power transfer.
- Chassis Multi-Flex™: The smart design of the RX8 chassis allows for the mounting of additional weights or stiffeners for complete chassis adjustment. Whether you need to add weight or stiffen the front or rear, you have a choice of optional front/central/rear machined brass weights and front/central/ rear graphite stiffeners. At the front of the car, both the brass weight and graphite insert can be mounted either fixed or flexible to avoid undesired stiffening effect.
- STIFF: Use stiff setting for high-traction tracks where a lot of steering and car response is required.
- MEDIUM: Use medium setting for medium-traction tracks. This setting offers good balance between steering responsiveness and traction.
- SOFT: Use soft setting for low-traction, dusty tracks. The car will create a lot of traction with this setting but will have less steering and response compared to stiffer setting.
- Radio Plate Multi-Flex™: The flex of the radio plate can be adjusted independently from the chassis flex which allows super fine tuning. Using bushings in the back, the radio plate can be mounted to the mounts either fixed or with a flex. It is suggested to use the flex setting for low traction tracks as the softer car will generate more traction. The fixed radio plate mounting is suggested for high traction conditions. An optional graphite radio plate allows stiffening the front part of radio plate and changes the flex characteristics of radio plate as well. Radio plate without brace allows a lot of in corner steering. The brace makes the car more stable and easier to drive under high grip conditions or when a tire additive is used. The muffler mounting is not attached to the radio plate anymore which eliminates the negative flex influence. Now the radio plate flexes more equally to both sides which improves consistency and, as it allows more flex in the front, also provides for more in-corner steering.
- Lowest CG Platform: Thanks to the design and engineering, all parts are positioned ultra-low to create the lowest-possible CG resulting in super-stable and precise handling.
- Chassis: The lightweight chassis is CNC-machined from 5mm thick premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and is strategically machined in low-stress areas to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity. The outer edges of the chassis have been beveled and screw holes have been countersunk in order to provide a smooth lower surface. Provisions have been made to accommodate graphite reinforcing inserts or additional balancing weights, front and rear to tune chassis stiffness, balance and CG. The area under the engine has been strategically vented to improve engine cooling without sacrificing chassis strength and rigidity.
- Radio Plate: The radio plate is CNC-machined from 2.5mm graphite material and the design allows for the easy removal of the entire radio plate (with all electronics) for quick & easy servicing and cleaning.
- Adjustable Fuel Tank Height: The 5-cell receiver battery pack is located beneath the fuel tank help create the lowest CG. Using the optional micro-size receiver battery pack allows the fuel tank to be lowered by another 3mm, creating an even lower platform.
- Battery Access: The receiver battery pack is removed from below the fuel tank by a quick access composite cover at the bottom of the chassis.
- Engine Mounts: The quick-set engine mounts are CNC-machined from premium high-strength aircraft aluminum. The engine mount has a fixed position for super-easy engine installation and gear mesh adjustment. The engine mount design allows you to set and fix the engine position for optimum gear mesh adjustment. After initial gear mesh is set, the engine position is permanently set; the engine can be installed/reinstalled at any time without any need for re-adjusting the gear mesh.
- Bulkheads: The RX8 features super-lightweight composite bulkheads with a very clean and lightweight design to create the lowest weight and CG, making the RX8 easy to service while allowing easy access to all parts. The bulkheads create a super-solid platform where all parts are mounted; a special composite mixture was developed to allow repeated assembly/disassembly cycles without stressing or wearing the parts.
- Integrated Belt Tension: Both front and rear bulkheads feature integrated eccentric bushings which allow quick & easy front and rear belt tension adjustment.
- Brake System: The laser-cut, precision flat-ground ventilated steel brake disk allows fade-free braking in conjunction with the special high-grip brake pads installed on the laser-cut brake plates. Brake inputs are transferred precisely to the brakes thanks to the ball-raced super-smooth steel brake cam. A steel cam is used for better durability and both brake disk and brake pads are specially heat treated for maximum lifespan. The specially-glued pads are resistant to high heat. The brake disk features extra-deep machined grooves making it very light and the split design allows maximum heat absorption. The ventilating holes are outside of the brake pad area to ensure maximum contact of the pads with the disk. Two spacing springs ensure a proper gap is maintained between the brake pads to reduce parasitic drag and heat build-up.
- Drive Shafts: The tiny drive shafts are manufactured from HUDY Spring Steel™. The self-developed material ensures the longest drive shaft life, maximum strength, and lowest weight. The front of RX8 is driven by CVD driveshafts, while standard dogbones are used in the rear. Hardened with a proprietary hardening process, the drive shafts provide unbeatable lifetime and reliability.
- Axles: The front 1-way and rear solid axle are small and light, ensuring super-low rotating mass and lowest CG. The super lightweight front 1-way bearing is inserted directly in the axle. The rear composite lightweight axle pulley is inserted on 1-piece solid HUDY Spring Steel axle. All of the outdrives are manufactured from HUDY Spring Steel™ and are specially ground for maximum precision. All pulleys have self-cleaning holes.
- Outdrives: All axle outdrives and wheel axles are manufactured from premium HUDY Spring Steel™ which has been hand ground for precision and fit. These parts have unmatched lifespan and maximum strength to withstand the tremendous forces generated by modern nitro engines.
- Pulleys: All pulleys are molded from a special composite mixture to ensure ultra-low friction operation, efficient and strong tooth profiles, and high lifespan. Pulley covers feature self-cleaning holes.
- PUR® Drive Belts: The drivetrain is operated by PUR®-reinforced high-efficiency low-friction drive belts, so the power is efficiently transferred to all drivetrain parts.
- 2-speed Transmission: The 2-speed transmission parts are installed on a precision-manufactured super-smooth lightweight hollow middle layshaft made from tough HUDY shaft steel for 2-speed, which is additionally heat treated for extra strength and long life. The 2-speed gear adapter is CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 for precision fitment of the 1-way bearing, and allowing super-precise and wobble-free installation of spur gears. The high-quality 1-way bearing is hand-ground before installation for maximum running precision and strength. The 2-speed adapter is manufactured from hardened steel.
- Spur Gears: Precision-molded spur gears are made from XRAY's exclusive secret blend of plastic, allowing the gears to run true, be super quiet and robust enough to handle the power of a modern nitro engine.
- Belt Tensioner: The adjustable side belt tensioner is captured on a graphite plate mounted to the side of the radio plate holder. This allows the side belt tensioner to be adjusted, or removed for engine removal.
- Suspension Geometry: The RX8 features the most advanced, race-engineered suspension geometry for nitro on-road racing and is designed to provide responsive characteristics in all racing conditions.
- Integrated Suspension Settings™: The design of the RX8 features I.S.S. (Integrated Suspension Settings™). All adjustment possibilities are completely integrated, allowing complete set-up changes without changing or replacing any parts. The use of square eccentric bushings in the front upper bulkheads, as well as in the rear bulkheads for upper & lower suspension, allows for complete geometry adjustment. Roll centers are adjustable in the standard upper & lower positions, as well as in inner and outer positions. High-tensile steel suspension pivot pins are polished for smooth suspension action.
- Adjustable Axle Height: Front steering block and rear uprights feature centric and eccentric bushings which allow roll center adjustment as well as positive caster adjustment in front. The eccentric bushings in the rear upright also allow independent wheelbase adjustment. The height of front and rear axles can also be adjusted with eccentric bushings.
- Wheelbase & Weight Balance Adjustment: Wheelbase can be easily adjusted using clips on the front and rear suspension. Moving the arms towards the front or rear can also be used to fine-tune weight balance.
- Offset Adjustment: Wheel offset is adjustable by 0.5–2.5mm using included shims. This affects steering adjustment (when adjusted at the front) and also rear traction characteristics (when adjusted at the rear). When less offset is used in the front, the car gets more in-corner steering and steering response is improved, and is recommended for small technical tracks. More offset makes the car more stable and easier to drive on large tracks or under high grip conditions. When less offset is used in the rear, car gets more in-corner steering but less rear traction and stability, and is recommended for small technical tracks or under high traction conditions. More rear offset makes the car more stable and improves cornering speed.
- Suspension Arms: Length, thickness, flexibility, geometry of suspension points and materials used are all the concepts and details that had to be thoroughly reviewed to create the optimum suspension arms. The exclusive composite mixture used for suspension arms is a perfect balance between reliability and performance. The suspension arm itself is rigid enough to provide a responsive feel, yet soft enough to provide extreme durability.
- Steering Blocks: The tiny yet tough steering blocks are molded from a special composite mixture for maximum strength. The bearings fit into the steering block perfectly without any extra play for maximum stability and steering. The kit includes 0 king pin steering blocks, while +1 and -1 degree king pin steering blocks can be purchased optionally.
- Rear Uprights: The compact rear uprights are small but, thanks to the special composite mixture used, are also very strong. The bearings fit into the upright without any extra play for maximum stability. The rear uprights feature two easily-adjustable upper roll center positions which are used for traction adjustment. The uprights feature two body mount adjustment positions depending on the type of body. Also incorporated are shorter and longer pivot ball joints for optimum set-up adjustment.
- Pivot Balls: The RX8 pivot ball suspension contains precision steel pivot balls which are specially hardened for enhanced lifespan and can withstand hard crashes. A total of eight (8) pivot balls are included and are captured by strong M10 composite nuts to minimize weight.
- Front Anti-roll Bar: The front anti-roll bar is a fully-adjustable, blade-style design. The front anti-roll bar is fully independent from the downstop adjustment. The hand-ground HUDY Spring Steel™ front anti-roll bar blades are easily adjusted using a 1.5mm hex wrench.
- Rear Anti-roll Bar: The rear 2.8mm anti-roll bar helps to reduce rear chassis roll. The roll bar turns in ball-bearings for maximum precision and freedom of movement. For fine precision tuning, optional wires of different thickness are available. An optional blade-style rear anti-roll bar is also available.
- Hudy Spring Steel™ Turnbuckles: To guarantee maximum reliability all turnbuckles are manufactured from special HUDY Spring Steel™ material for turnbuckles with a tougher core.
- Body Posts: Front and rear body mounts allow for 2mm front/rear adjustment of the body position depending on the wheelbase and body downforce adjustment. Special composite mixture rear body mount features 3 positions for rear upright downforce adjustment.

Telephone Answering Will Be More Important Than Ever In 2017
Christmas is a time to reflect and a time to look forward, and this year is no different. alldayPA started in the year 2000 and 16 years later the business is still growing.
However, there were people who thought we wouldn't make it back then. The internet had just gone mainstream, and people thought telephone answering was a thing of the past. Today, with WhatsApp and Social Media some people are saying the same thing, but in 2017 the phone call (and alldayPA) will be more important than ever. Here's why.
- If you have a website your business is always open – We are seeing more people call in outside of office hours than even before.
- Customer expectations have changed – When we began, callers would wait for over 10 rings for their call to be answered. Now, answering in 3 rings is expected.
- Every phone call matters – With email and social media, people only pick up the phone when they really have to. That means every time your phone rings it is an important call.
Make sure you're ready for everything 2017 brings. alldayPA are here to support your business through 2017 and beyond.
Wishing you all the best this Christmas and New Year.

The Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) has initiated the first full-scale trial of e-navigation in Norwegian waters in conjunction with NAVTOR. The test sees the ferry MS Stavangerfjord digitally sharing its routing information with NCA via NAVTOR's NavStation, the world's first 'digital chart table'.
The project focuses on the way NCA receives vessel data. Until now, ships had to contact the authority via maritime VHF radio to verbally communicate routing information before both departure and arrival. NCA could then update vessel navigators on traffic and advise of any necessary changes in speed or routing.
However, NavStation – unique software that gathers all the information navigators need into a single interface – allows the authority and vessel to work together as one, seamlessly transferring information and enhancing maritime safety, efficiency and control.
Bjørn Åge Hjøllo, Project Development Manager at NAVTOR, explains: "Through the use of NavStation, both Stavangerfjord and the NCA's shipping control centre in Kvitsøy, Rogaland, have access to identical digital chart information. The vessel sends its sailing data automatically, eliminating any risk of communication misunderstandings, and the centre receives this accurate data instantaneously, allowing it to approve, or if necessary adjust, the route.

Biggest One-Day Slide Since August 2015 Suggests Deep Retrace of Move
On Friday QQQ slid 5.79 points from the day's high to low. That is the biggest one-day slide since August 24, 2015 (the capitulation move of the China bubble crash). That is a Neely signal that the move out of the August 24, 2015 low has just ended.
That suggests QQQ has started a deep retrace of that move. However, unless QQQ crashes more than 9.50 points on Monday, it suggests QQQ has higher to go after a partial retrace of that move.
QQQ reentered its pink rising wedge Friday and ended the day with a retest of its top. It's likely to continue down to the rising wedge bottom and beyond to at least the orange megaphone VWAP and the bottom of the silver rising megaphone.
That will be a critical decision point.
Critical Decision Point will be at 105-106ish
QQQ could reverse hard at the silver rising megaphone bottom for a breakout upwards from the orange and light blue megaphones and the silver rising megaphone into a truly magnificent move up with a target of roughly 200 (green scenario).
Or QQQ could start a megaphone there (purple scenario) that breaks the price out of the silver rising megaphone to set up a new rising megaphone (red on chart). That would imply a new all-time high within the light blue megaphone and red rising megaphone, but not a move to 200. Instead, QQQ would likely be putting in a double wave up within the light blue megaphone and setting up a swing to its bottom.
The Larger Crash Scenario
If QQQ is going to put in a candle larger than 9.50 points on the correction to 105-106ish, it will likely do so as part of a price channel crash set-up that takes QQQ straight to the light blue megaphone bottom before another swing to its top.
The Bots
Studies show that high-frequency trading bots tend to suppress volatility. I don't have enough data to know how this affects things like the Neely signal.
So even though this signal back tested well for decades, keep an open mind about the possibility of a megaphone starting here rather than an immediate correction.
The Price Action to Watch For
However, the price action usually won't lie. If the market's heading down from here to 105-106ish or beyond, the move would usually start as a price channel. In the critical decision wave, we'd usually see either a conventional breakout into a series of melt-down channels, or we'd see a large falling megaphone bottom start.
Large falling megaphone bottoms tend to break out of a price channel like a conventional melt-down set-up, then retrace all the way to the price channel top, then break down out of the channel past the first channel breakout.
Either could reverse at 105-106ish, but a falling megaphone would be a tell that a reversal there is a strong favorite.

The City of Empty Dreams represented the power of the Void.
The Five Cities Edit
In 1133 at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate, five cities stood at the edge of Yomi, Realm of the Blessed Ancestors. Each city was infused with the power of the elements, Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Void. In these cities, the blessed shiryo and faceless Goju clashed to determine the fate of the Celestial Order. Outnumbered by their shadowy enemies, the ancestors faced a battle they could not win. In the Mortal Realm, the Elemental Council heard their plea and enacted a ritual like none other in history, a ritual that would draw these five cities to the mortal realm where reinforcements could arrive to fight the spawns of Nothing back. [1]
Crossing Yomi Edit
It appeared on an island off the coast of the Phoenix lands. Only Ishiken could see it, and even they found it was not always present. It was said one could see both the past and the future within the City of Empty Dreams, even glimpses of worlds which never existed. [2]

Business Card Printing in Altrincham
In Altrincham in Trafford, the town centre has been earmarked for many improvements which will assist in the growth and renewed vitality of this retail hub. These developments offer a unique opportunity for both established and new businesses to benefit from the additional visitors and opportunities that these improvements will bring.
For these companies, taking full advantage of these prospects involves ensuring that the appropriate marketing tools and business information are used. For instance, business card printing in Altrincham can be utilised to ensure that up to date contact information can be passed to customers in an easy to carry and convenient format.
When taking time to shop and visit places such as Denmark Street and the Historic Market Quarter, customers often do not want to carry large pieces of marketing information from businesses such as catalogues or pamphlets, so using business card printing in Altrincham allows for the development of small-sized promotional items which can be easily carried.
When new regeneration schemes are devised, it is always an important time for businesses and one way of both benefiting and contributing to these is by becoming involved in the marketing and promotional events which take place and business cards are ideal for these.

I just found this new product called cameyo its a free application virtualization tool that can make many , not all!, applications portable.I will be trying this and testing it over the next few weeks. I hope to turn some apps portable so they can just be copied to machines rather than installing.
Anyone else have experience of using this?

Haven't been using it, but it looks very interesting... Thanks for info.

Lawrie Dalman Consulting is an IT service provider.
Yes, we use it to essentially make some non-portable Windows apps portable and also provide VMs not installed with apps able to use them with great ease. We've found it doesn't work with all Windows Apps and some of them depending on the Apps required environment wind up quite large, but generally it is very useful.

Making air travel a lot more tolerable — at least for animals
Imagine a brand new airport terminal that features a swimming pool, private suites with flat screen TV's, around the clock medical care and a spa with massage services.
Sorry, it's not for you. It's for dogs, and other animals.
The $65 million terminal at New York's Kennedy Airport is scheduled to open later this month, a 178,000-square-foot facility called the ARK that will help process animals arriving and departing on international flights — dogs, cats, birds, horses and even cattle.
That's right, cattle could soon be receiving far more luxurious travel services while we humans continue to be treated more and more like cattle when we choose to travel by air.
The facility will hold newly arriving animals from outside the country, and those being quarantined and, for those in need of additional services, the premises will include a pet resort, veterinarians and groomers.
The ARK sits on 14.5 acres of land in a cargo area near the runways. It replaces Vetport, a facility that opened in 1951 and had a less than pristine reputation.
The new facility is billed by developer Racebrook Capital as the "world's only privately owned animal terminal and USDA-approved, full-service, 24-hour, airport quarantine facility for import and export of horses, pets, birds and livestock."
Company owner John Cuticelli says he expects about 5,000 horses, 10,000 small pets like dogs and cats, and hundreds of thousands of birds to come through the facility each year.
The company has signed a 30-year lease with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, according to the New York Post, which was recently given a tour of the new facility.
The Ark features a large animal departure lounge offering stalls, food and water for horses, individual climate-controlled units for horses, equipped with bedding and natural light, a veterinary hospital offering general and emergency care, a Paradise 4 Paws pet resort featuring a bone-shaped dog pool and a jungle gym for cats, and grooming, training and massage therapy.
"Right now, animals can wait four or five hours on the tarmac or in the cargo facility because there is no other way to process them," Cuticelli said. "The ARK will be focused on the safe and humane transportation of animals."

Returning from an exotic locale? Chances are you can bring someone home with you
We don't expect Donald Trump to like this (so don't anyone let him know) but if you're returning from a trip to some exotic locale — Mexico, Thailand, South Korea, India, Turkey, Colombia, and the Carribean to name a few — you can bring someone back with you to live in the good old USA forever.
And you don't even have to marry them — or even ever see them again.
Yes, we're talking about dogs. (Aren't we almost always?)
But we're also talking about an easy-lifting way to accomplish a good deed and play a small role in making a dog and a family happy.
Our country's incoming new leadership may no longer wants those tired, poor and hungry humans we once welcomed from other countries, but the door is still pretty open for dogs (my dog included) that have been saved from horrific conditions in other countries.
Many of them have gotten here thanks to Americans returning from vacations, who are willing to take a little extra time to serve as their official escorts.
How it all works was documented recently by The Washington Post, in a story by Andrea Sachs, who not only talked to people who have done it, but did it herself.
Sachs recently returned from a trip to Colombia with a dog named Max.
"To unknowing eyes, I was just a typical traveler with a strong pet attachment. But in truth I was a flight volunteer for Cartagena Paws, an animal-rescue center that, among myriad services, places Colombian street dogs with adoptive families in North America. My ultimate responsibility was to escort the 8-month-old puppy with the overactive tail to the District. I was headed north anyway, and, well, Max needed a lift."
There are animal welfare groups around the world rescuing dogs who face bleak lives, or worse, and then finding themselves hard-pressed to find them homes.
One solution they've turned to is exporting rescued dogs to the U.S.
Often, though, they need a little help getting them from there to here.
"We use flight volunteers who are met at the airport by the adoptive parents," said Lisa Anne Ramirez, executive director of the Humane Society of Cozumel Island in Mexico. Those meetings, she says are "usually very emotional and tearful."
While most airlines will ship a dog traveling solo in their cargo holds, that's the most expensive and least desirable method.
Dogs are generally permitted to travel as checked baggage, or as carry-ons in the cabin, but in those cases they must be traveling with someone.
The rescue organizations handle the paperwork, so, for the escort, it's often just a matter of handing those papers over at customs.
Sasithorn "Sas" Moy of Harlem said little inconvenience was involved after she agreed to escort five dogs from Thailand to the U.S. when returning from a trip to visit family.
She contacted the Phuket-based Soi Dog Foundation, which sends at least 25 dogs to North America a month.
"I just showed up at the airport and they gave me the paperwork," she explained after a nearly 20-hour flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. "I said goodbye to the dogs at the X-ray machine. It was painless… There was extra time on the front end and the back end, but it was worthwhile."
Sachs advises in the article that travelers wishing to serve as flight volunteers contact the rescue center as soon as they secure their flights.
"I messaged Cartagena Paws two weeks before my departure and received a reply peppered with exclamation points: We would love to have some help! Yes please!"
She and Max flew from Cartagena to Atlanta to Washington — he making the trip next to her in a carrier in the cabin. In Washington, he was picked up for a trip to his new home in Texas.
Sachs also put together a list of international rescues seeking escorts for dogs coming into the United States. You can find more details and contact information at that link.

Philadelphia airport dogs not up to snuff
All three bomb-sniffing dogs handled by the Transportation Security Administration at Philadelphia International Airport have lost their certification after having failed their last two tests.
And Fox News reports the problems may extend beyond that: Sources say about a dozen of the 700 TSA dogs at 85 airports have failed the tests as well.
A TSA spokesman said the three dogs in Philadelphia — after failing standard tests in November and December — are continuing intensive training to regain their certification, and are continuing to work at the airport as a "visual deterrent."
The dogs, trained in at Lackland Air Force base in Texas, completed the 10-week course all TSA dogs must successfully pass.
Ten other city police dogs assigned to Philadelphia's airport passed the tests.
The TSA spokesman said the agency is working quickly to recertify the bomb sniffing dogs and assured the traveling public that security would not suffer.

Are dogs the answer to lax airport security?
Could dogs have prevented Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab from boarding a plane with explosives hidden in his underwear?
CNN asked the question yesterday — the answer to which is, with enough properly trained dogs, probably.
But explosives-detecting dogs, the report points out, aren't generally trained to sniff out humans, and having them do so might raise some privacy concerns.
Still, those quoted in the report say, something as low-tech as dogs could be our best solution to the problem.
"The fact that this individual showed up with a one-way ticket, purchased with cash and no checked baggage — he should have been pulled aside," said security expert Larry Berg, a consultant with Berg Associates. "And at that point, if inspected by a dog, he literally could have been detected."
"A well-trained dog and a very good, well-trained handler can find explosives with little or no false alarms," said trainer Patrick Beltz said. "And if they had been doing it, it might have deterred him from trying to get on the plane in the first place."
About 700 bomb-sniffing dogs currently work at U.S. airports, and they are trained to detect up to a dozen different explosive compounds, including PETN, the compound that AbdulMutallab is alleged to have smuggled aboard Northwest flight 253 to Detroit on December 25.
The report also looks at research underway at Auburn University in Alabama, where dogs are being used to sniff not people, but the air they leave in their wake when they pass by. The Auburn trainers believe their dogs can detect very small traces of explosives and then follow the trail to the person carrying a bomb.

Did the poker game come after supper?
This doggie-style reworking of The Last Supper is an advertisement for OIPA, the Organizzazione Internazionale Protezione Animali (the International Organization for the Protection of Animals).
I'm no art critic, but I'd have to put it right up there with that classic, Dogs Playing Poker.
Only one human appears in the work — Judas.
The copy, translated, reads: "One of you betrays us 150,000 times every year."
Apparently, it's a reference to the number of dogs euthanized each year in Italy.

News : Webhelp Revolution Leads to Job
#contactcenterworld, @webhelpuk, @EE
July 9, 2014 -- Having secured an agreement with global telecommunications firm EE to provide customer services, Webhelp UK is investing heavily in its Derby operation.
The Pride Park building, formerly occupied by internet bank Egg, is already home to a contract with media provider Sky.
Interviews are taking place for 300 positions and 100 people are already working or being trained.
EE branding is going up around the building and boxed-up PCs can be seen beneath scores of desks.
It is hoped that the EE deal will blossom and enable the business to expand the workforce further in an attempt to take the head count beyond 2,000 during 2015.
Investment is pouring in to the site in order to improve the working environment for new employees and also staff retention rates. Break-out areas with pool, table football and TVs are being fitted out and mobile devices will be provided for employees.
"The agreement we have with EE has giving us confidence in the future. It is a significant amount of money but is the right thing to do and it keeps us in a strong position in the market."
The deal came about as a result of Webhelp working with EE in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Mr Turner said: "EE has a philosophy of bringing more jobs back to the UK.
"It is essential that we recruit properly and that our people are able to deliver the type of experience for our clients' customers and want to go the extra mile."
The EE deal gives Webhelp the chance to promote from within – employees who have worked for Sky can step up to supervisory roles on the EE account.
Mr Turner said: "People will be able to develop their careers and fulfil ambitions. We've been well supported by Derby City Council and Marketing Derby and we hope that this partnership will continue.
"When we came to Derby it was because there was a young workforce who understood modern technology and had the right attitude. I'm delighted we came. It was a great move for Webhelp, a great move for Sky and I hope it will be the same for EE."

Two men allegedly robbed the bin lorry at Deansrath Green in Clondalkin, Dublin, at 9am this morning.
They then drove at uncontrollable speeds around Dublin, nearly losing control, whilst being pursued by gardaí.
The two men were later arrested on Westbrook Drive when the lorry crashed at 9.40am – some 40 minutes after the rampage started.
A garda spokesman confirmed the two men are currently being detained at Clondalkin Garda Station.

Well, as many of you know already know, I often write top tens on various topics and post them here, on the creepypasta wikia.
Well, the point of this blog is simple enough, I'm starting a new sort of segment on blog posts, so to speak.
I will be selecting Writers on this Wikia who have written; A) More than ten pastas and B) enjoyable pastas at that. And I will be creating top ten lists of the best pastas by these authors.
While some Writers will very obviously recieve top tens (Slimebeast is a good example,) I am completely open to suggestions.
Just leave a comment saying that you would like to have a top ten list modeled after your pastas and I will put you on my list (Provided that your stories are decently good).
I may not have your top ten list done anytime soon. Please understand that.
Thanks, and leave your requests below in the comments section!

Super Mario 64
Review by BlueInferno83
When was the last time you went on a vacation? When was the last time you let your mind wander and you allowed yourself to break free of the everyday confines of life? When did you last have a chance to relax and see different sites? Just sit back and imagine this: You are traveling underwater, swimming towards an abandoned ship; you are walking across a desert, trying to keep the ghosts away from you; you are walking through a magical forest, attempting to unravel some of the mysteries of a strange kingdom, run by a tyrant; you are attempting to keep balance, knowing at any moment you could slip through the icy cracks and meet your demise. Welcome to Mario 64. It was my great pleasure to play this game. I can't think of anything I would have rather done in 9th-10th grade than sit back in the chair, grab a bowl of Cheetos and a coke, and play this game for hours. Mario 64 is a very special game. It takes a classic character, Mario, and throws him into an entirely different world. This isn't your traditional linear, 2D Mario game. This is the real world. With interactions between characters, stars to find, and puzzles to solve, if you want to play this one, you better get going. The princess is waiting to be saved.
What makes Mario 64 so special? I don't even know where to begin. I don't put the word ''flawless'' on many things. But I do believe this game is flawless. It was the first N64 game I purchased, and the one I played the most, right up until the day I sold the system. You travel through a multitude of different lands, exploring, using your mind to solve riddles and unlocking the key to saving the princess and preventing the Mushroom Kingdom from being thrown into disarray.
This game is very unique. You enter a castle, and jump into paintings (yes, jump into paintings) to travel to different levels. This is a different concept than any that I have ever seen. I love this refreshing makeover that Mario games over went. It all started with Super Mario 64. This game was the first of the Mario series to feature the type of game play shown in the modern games. Super Mario 64 combines the best of both worlds, employing action-RPG with the Mario feel.
Let me just say a word about the graphics -- wow! The graphics in this game are astounding. I could see this game coming out for Gamecube, and the graphics being just as acceptable. The backgrounds and the characters are beautifully illustrated and you can tell a lot of work and detail went into making this game. Remember the cartoon of Mario? Well, I think this game came the closest to recapturing the feel that I had from watching that show. The characters are masterfully recreated, right down to the smallest detail.
The music and sound affects in this game are mind-blowing. I enjoyed this game on a number of levels, but the music added a great feeling of enjoyment to the game. Would this game have been as great without this soundtrack? Yes, probably. But it does not matter. The music had a Mario series feel, but was kicked up several notches. I absolutely loved it.
The truly unique ''cap'' system really had me impressed as well. You could wear caps to make yourself solid and to fly. There was another one too, but I forgot what it was. :P Instead of doing a boring, traditional item use option, they have blocks where you can fly or become solid if you contain the cap.
This game is very long and challenging. It is not for beginner game players. I think just about everyone (myself included) will need the assistance of a game Manuel or a walk through in order to complete this masterpiece. This game provides the player with their money's worth, I can definitely tell you that. There is non-stop action, puzzles, and just a whole lot of fun. Who would have thought that we would arrive at such a spectacular game when Mario started out knocking bricks with his head and unclogging pipes.
In Mario 64, there is a life meter instead of just the traditional mushroom making Mario taller and stronger. It is similar to that of Mario II. This is another vast improvement of the game. It is much easier to play and not get frustrated over getting killed in one shot.
Before I wrap this up, I want to comment on the face stretching exercise in the beginning. That was the funniest thing I had ever seen! I spent so much time on stretching his face alone. What were they thinking when they created that? Did the creators get into the magic mushrooms? I don't know, but I won't complain. That opening segment to Super Mario 64 became classic...well, in my easily amused mind, anyway.
Here is what it all boils down to: Super Mario 64 is a classic. Some consider it to be the best Mario game out of the entire series. I would have to say that I am one of those people. I believe this game broke new ground in gaming, not only in the Mario series, but also in other games of the era. It is easy to become deeply entranced within the story and keep your mind focused on the goals set out for you. It allows the player to play a game solely for the fun of it. This game is fun, as well as challenging, so it provides hours and hours of pleasure. This game is not in danger of dying down any time soon. It is one of the greatest games ever made, in my humble opinion.
That wraps it up for me. Would I recommend anyone to play this? Well, if I have to answer that, then obviously you haven't read the review carefully. So find a copy of this game and go play it...NOW! And be sure to thank me when you're having one of the best gaming experiences of your life.
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

The Match
Welcome, fans to the second match in the first round of the Amateur Pro-Bending Tournament! Tonight we have the Orchard Gardens Ostrich Horses against the reigning champions, the Makapu Moose Lions.
The Horses are on the blue side. They have an earthbending captain, Teo; a waterbender, Kori; and a firebender named Kuzon. They've won small, unofficial tournaments like the Harmony Tower Classic but have never attempted to win something this big. Just by looking at Kori you can tell she's apprehensive about this game. On the other hand, Teo and Kuzon are looking fierce and we all know that they're ready to go.
The Lions, as always, are put on the red side. Their captain is a firebender named Kai. The earthbender is named Cheng and the other is a waterbender, Kaya. Kaya has the facial expression of a two-headed rat viper going after its prey. As a matter of fact, the whole team does.
The bell has cried its loud cry and the two teams brutally pound each other with their skills. Teo has succeeded in stopping Kaya's incredible momentum when she made the wrong move and was to the corner of the zone. Kori slams at the fallen Kaya but is too slow.
Teo uses his marvelous right hook to send his target, Kaya, back a zone but is knocked down when the Lion's earthbender, Cheng, has taken advantage of Teo's focus on Kaya.
Kuzon fires at Kai's legs but Kai jumps up in the air not realizing that he's been set up. Kori knocks him directly in his stomach. He is ejected into zone three giving the Lions three points to the Horse's zero. The Horses have been known to use odd yet effective plans to knockout their opponents.
Kori takes charge because she has done a rapid one two on Kuzon but he still stands solid like a rock. They create an unusual brawl. Kuzon jumps up and does a roundhouse kick back to the girl, knocking her down hard.
Kori is trying to get up but before she can, Cheng whacks her off the ring with a good snap kick. What's this? The official has rung the bell with twenty seconds remaining and is giving Cheng a yellow fan. I am being informed that the cause of this penalty is that Cheng's attack on Kori was deemed "too violent" for pro-bending. This means that the Horses get to advance into Makapu's territory. The crowd is violently booing the referee, louder than normal.
The bell has rung once more and the fight continues. Kori is back up on the ring and Cheng is reluctantly in zone two, giving the Lions four points and the Horses none. There's only seventeen seconds left and the Orchard Gardens team needs a miracle for them to win the round.
Cheng yet again shows his aggression when he stealthily slant aerials, colliding three coins into Kori's torso for the second time, knocking her off of the ring. Keeping his stunning drive, he trips Kuzon, giving Kai the perfect opening. They've done it! Kuzon is rolling into zone two and the bell rings leaving the round at a tie!
Cheng has made up for his undeserving penalty, making it anyone's game. We'll be back after a few words from our sponsors, Kuang's Cuisine and Cabbage Corps!
We are back at the second game of round one. The score is tied right now after Cheng's unbelievable playing. The bell has rung signaling the beginning of the match.
The Horses are fed up with what happened a few moments ago. Kori hits Kaya directly in the face, starting a rumble of massive proportions. Kaya crouches down, roundhouse spins and trips Kori but it wasn't enough. Kori easily recovers her stance, ready to strike a different opponent.
Kai goes after his corresponding bender and succeeds to get in a hit, twisting Kuzon 360 degrees before he lands flat on his face. Now that is what you call pro-bending. With all his might, Kuzon attempts to get back up but is shot back down again. Kai signals his teammate Kaya and attempts to finish Kuzon off with an amazing hit to the back but only manages to get him to zone two.
The Horses' firebender is still doubled over on the ground, not making a single move. A bell is rung, halting all gameplay, and two paramedics take the unresponsive Kuzon to the infirmary. From my knowledge of the tournament rules, the Ostrich Horses can forfeit or play, WITHOUT a substitute, which they have. The game is resumed and Teo takes no time attacking the man twice his size, Cheng. As though he were in war, Teo screams as loud as he can and forces rapidly at his opponent. With each bout, Cheng easily counters with a strong kick. What is Teo trying to do?
The crowd and I know Teo's peculiar scheme now. Teo has purposely ricocheted an earth coin off one of the ropes and into Cheng's side. Wait! His plan isn't done yet! Cheng's is rocketing into the other side of the ropes and out of the ring. The whole crowd and even the referee applaud Teo's smart thinking. This might be the Horses' chance at winning the match. Anything can happen, though, with 30 seconds remaining on the clock.
According to the rules, if an opponent is taken out of the match due to injury, the opposing team does not receive any points. This makes the score 3-0, making the Horses the potential winners of the round possibly the entire game. Without Cheng on their side the Lions might not have what it takes to knock a Horse off the ring.
The Lions hang in there as the Horses use up all of their conserved energy to knock another player out of zone one. The bell rings ending the match and giving the Orchard Gardens team a point to their tally.
If the Lions win this next round one of their players will go to the tiebreaker. Although their loss in the round, the Lions have an advantage over the Horses. Cheng has had a longer time than anyone to recover and build up his energy. Surely he'll be very aggressive and maybe win the round for his team. He looks ready, he's acting ready, he is ready.
The game has started its last round and as I predicted, Cheng is raining on the Horses' parade as he bashes all three opponents at once.
This time, Kaya picks a fight with Kori when she trips her and makes her step over the line between the teams' territories. Kori unwillingly walks to her new zone, makes a dirty face at Kaya and finds a new fight to start.
Kori goes after Teo but isn't fast enough for him. This is a big mistake most amateur pro-benders make. They're asphyxiated on one person instead of paying attention on both their target and the target's teammates. This gives the more clever opponents the advantage of knocking them off the ring.
Being as stubborn as she is, Kori still tries to shove Teo at least one zone to help add a point to the Horses' score.
Forty seconds into the round and no one has even come close to moving a zone. This is going to be one dull-
Whoa! The Lions' firebender, Kai, has showed his amazing skills with a move called the Azula plank kick. He jumps up in the air and kicks with both legs at the same time making him look like a plank of wood on his back, forcing Kuzon to get used to a new zone, zone two.
This round has finally woken up the people in the stands and they chant both teams' names.
If the Ostrich Horses can tie this round, they advance. But if they don't, they have to go into the tiebreaker. For those who didn't see the Harmony Classic two years ago, every time the Horses went into a tiebreaker, they lost. The ring becomes even tenser than before. The whole arena heats up when the turn firebender go at it. Ladies and gentlemen the audience and I are witnessing blue fire coming from both Kuzon and Kai.
The two duel like the great battle between Azula and Zuko. Kai ducks and shoots at Kuzon's legs, Kuzon shuffles to the side and returns a blast to the arm. Kai falls over with his torso off the tiebreaking ring. Kuzon takes his lead but Kai rolls over and scurries over to the other side. The smallest trip-up could cost the time the whole match.
There's a minute and twenty seconds left and both competitors look fatigued. Kai starts off with a kick close to the head but the referee doesn't call it. He keeps his momentum going with a one-two at the legs. Kai has Kuzon running around the ring like an arctic hen without its head.
Sweat drains from Kuzon's forehead as he grows closer to passing out. What's wrong with him? He's just standing there, staring into space. Kai cocks his head to the side, confused. Not taking any chances, Kai gives a marvelous hue of cerulean to Kuzon and the Lions win the game!
History has repeated itself and the Horses get their first strike. Be sure to check out the interviews and the next match between the Gaipan Goat Dogs and the White Falls Wolfbats.
Interview with Cheng from the Makapu Moose Lions
RCSN: Hello Cheng, it's great to be able to chat with you tonight. Let's jump right in to it. What did you think when you got that yellow fan?
Cheng: The first thing I thought was, I can't get another fan. A team rarely wins without all three elements. I could've given the match the Ostrich Horses, but I made up for it.
RSCN: What do you think you, as a team, need to work on?
Cheng: We definitely need to on strategies that use all three of us instead of the usual one element versus its element. The Pygmi Pumas one their match solely through teamwork.
RCSN: Do you think the referee's calls are wrong, that you're too aggressive or a little bit of both?
Cheng: I think that I am a little bit too aggressive but these refs this year aren't the best around. I guess that's all you can afford on an amateur tournament's budget.
RCSN: My final question is, do you think you have hope for placing in the top four?
Cheng: Absolutely! I've always had high hopes to make it the pros. This is definitely a dream come true.
RCSN: Thank you, Cheng! Good luck in your further endeavors in pro-bending.
Interview with Teo from the Orchard Gardens Ostrich Horses
RSCN: Good evening, Teo.
Teo: Good evening!
RCSN: Tell me. How did you take the defeat?
Teo: The team and I didn't take it too bad. They were a tough team and I know we still have one more strike left.
RCSN: If you do win, will you go up to the pros or stay down in the amateurs?
Teo: If we make it, we'll take our chances at the pros but if they're too hard for us, we'll take drop out and wait the two months to register for the amateurs.
RCSN: That sounds like a decent plan. During the match, did you come up with the plan to take Cheng off the ring before or during the game?
Teo: When I began pro-bending, I've always visualized that idea in my head and when I saw the opportunity, I knew I had to take it and run with it.
RCSN: Did you know they named that move the Teo? It's in the news and on the official Pro-Bending list of moves.
Teo: That's amazing! I didn't know that that wasn't done before.
RCSN: I'm sure lots of people are practicing it in the arena right now. Well, thank you for coming and good luck!
Teo: No, thank you!
Review of the Winning Team
This was a highly anticipated night at the arena. The Orchard Gardens Ostrich Horses went head to head with the Makapu Moose Lions, current Earth Kingdom Coastal champions. Nobody could tell who would win.
Both teams were a great match for each other and tension rose throughout the venue.
Cheng became a fan favorite with his astonishing belligerence. He starts out his game with a yellow fan. His ember-blazing teammate, Kuzon, managed to knock down the stubborn Kori and Cheng carried out the attack. To his dismay, the referee penalized the earthbender. The crowd was outraged and the ring became ten times louder. With seventeen seconds left, Cheng presented a move he's been working on (that some think should be named after him), the slant aerial. He used it towards his previous prey, Kori, and knocked the worn-out girl out, yet again. He tied the score and the match. Into the next round, his cliché opponent, Teo, knocked Cheng out of the ring, leading to the Horses' win of round two.
Kaya is one of the fiercest waterbenders in the tournament. She and Kori butted heads throughout the match and mostly likely will butt heads throughout the entire tournament. Kori didn't start out with the best game. Teo picked a fight with her and ended up throwing her to the corner of the zone. She dodged Kori's fatal attack at her head but Teo came back and ejected her to zone two. In the subsequent round Kori blasted her directly in the face but Kaya succeeded to trip her opponent, not doing enough damage to move Kori back a zone. In the final round, after the two stopped their squabble, Kaya commenced a battle with Kori and caused her to stumble into a new zone.
Kai had a very up-and-down performance. In the beginning of round one, Kuzon and Kori tag-teamed him and Kai found himself in zone three. During round three Kai made up for his mistake and got revenge on his corresponding bender, Kuzon, rocketing the teen into the second zone. Kai was later chosen to be in the tiebreaking round and almost gave the match to the Horses. The game of cat and dog continued when Kuzon did the legendary Azula plank kick to Kai's arm. Kai did not give up and, as Shiro Shinobi said, gained momentum running Kuzon around the ring like an arctic hen without its head. Kuzon quickly fatigued and Kai took that to his benefit winning the game for the Moose Lions.
The trio's actions led them to win the match over the Ostrich Horses. Although the success, these two teams might see each other later in the tourney.
1 – A good technique, used by the Horses, gave the Lions two points. Kuzon fired at Kai's legs but Kai jumped up in the air not realizing that he was being set up. Kori knocked him directly in his stomach. Kai was ejected into zone three. Although they didn't win the game, their teamwork can get them into the top four.
2 – This highlight caused a debate about the tournament's referees' terrible calls. Kori was trying to get up but before she can, Cheng whacked her off the ring with a good snap kick. The bell rung with twenty seconds remaining and gave Cheng a yellow fan. We were informed that the cause of this penalty is that Cheng's attack on Kori was deemed "too violent" for pro-bending. Plenty of fans and newsletters bad-mouthed the official and the tournament itself.
3 – The third and final highlight was the most painful of the three. Kai went after his corresponding bender and succeeded to get in a hit, twisting Kuzon 360 degrees before he landed flat on his face. With all his might, Kuzon tried to get back up but was shot back down again. Kai signaled his teammate Kaya and attempted to finish Kuzon off with an amazing hit to the back but only managed to get him to zone two. Everyone who watched or listened that felt sorry for the young man in pain.

Most types of dementia can't be cured, but there are ways to manage your symptoms.
The following are used to temporarily improve dementia symptoms.
Cholinesterase inhibitors. These medications — including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon) and galantamine (Razadyne) — work by boosting levels of a chemical messenger involved in memory and judgment.
Although primarily used to treat Alzheimer's disease, these medications might also be prescribed for other dementias, including vascular dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia and Lewy body dementia.
Side effects can include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Memantine. Memantine (Namenda) works by regulating the activity of glutamate, another chemical messenger involved in brain functions, such as learning and memory. In some cases, memantine is prescribed with a cholinesterase inhibitor.
A common side effect of memantine is dizziness.
Several dementia symptoms and behavior problems might be treated initially using nondrug approaches, such as:
Several dietary supplements, herbal remedies and therapies have been studied for people with dementia. Some may be beneficial.
Use caution when considering taking dietary supplements, vitamins or herbal remedies, especially if you're taking other medications. These remedies aren't regulated, and claims about their benefits aren't always based on scientific research.
Some alternative medicines for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia that have been studied include:
Omega-3 fatty acids. There is some evidence that eating fish three times a week might lower your risk of dementia.
However, in clinical studies, omega-3 fatty acids haven't significantly slowed cognitive decline in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. More research is needed.
The following techniques may help reduce agitation and promote relaxation in people with dementia.

It's the eyeroll to end all eyerolls. Writer Van Badham was invited onto Australian morning TV show Sunrise to comment on the topic "Are men second class citizens?"

We stayed here for 1 night. Do not stay here! The room smelled like smoke (& I'm a smoker!) the ceiling was falling down (there were spots that were just hanging by a thread). The air conditioning did not work (it was 87 farenheit that night) We could not leave the door open to cool off as it is not a safe neighborhood. All amenities in the room were from different hotel chains. (ice bucket from Holiday Inn Express, soap from Hampton Inn etc...They gave us 3 pillows that were flat & there were 3 of us staying there. We got 2 towels in the room & when we asked for more pillows & towels we were told that they were locked up so they could not get us any until morning when the cleaning crew was there. The continental breakfast had coffee & donuts, there was no juice or tea just coffee to drink. The donuts were very stale. Save yourself the money & stay somewhere else. I will NEVER go back.
