, 39 were diagnosed with questionable dementia and 44 with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The instrument was back translated and validated.


RESULTS
The instrument has good overall internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.84-0.94). Item-total correlation coefficients, indicating construct validity, were all significant, except for one item. anova showed that controls, patients with questionable dementia and those with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease differed significantly in scores on Sense of Aesthetics subscale. Instrument total score and scores on three of five subscales (not Feelings of Belonging) differed significantly between control and dementia groups, but not between patients with questionable dementia and those with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Factor analyses showed two inconsistencies with the instrument's prior conceptualisation, namely the Self-Esteem and Negative Affect subscales. The Positive Affect path model was supported but not the Negative Affect path model.


CONCLUSIONS
This patient-reported Dementia Quality of Life instrument has acceptable psychometric properties in Taiwanese patients with dementia with a Mini-Mental State Examination score >10. Relevance to clinical practice. The Chinese Dementia Quality of Life instrument can be used to assess subjective quality of life in Taiwanese patients with dementia with a Mini-Mental State Examination score >10.I made this recently for my grandmother who turned 95. She was born in Denmark and immigrated to Canada in the 50’s. It has her last name on it and the names of her offspring who took the names of their fathers. I had a guy with a laser CNC machine scribe the names and he also cut out the maple leaf. I’m not an artist like that. I work ok with squares. It’s made with maple, walnut, and chakte kok. I redacted the names.
Ha! A Canadian flag MUST be made with maple. Well done…I bet she loves it.
Excellent job. She should love it.
The greatest tribute.

For Rockhampton council: Cherie Rutherford, Rose Swadling and Tony Williams are trending to be returned to Rockhampton council for another term.
AS VOTE counting wraps up and marks the end of election day, two Team McMillan candidates took time out of their after party to speak of the "surprising" results so far.
Mayoral candidate Michael McMillan is hot on Cr Margaret Strelow's tail with 28.81% to her 36.74% of the votes.
Mr McMillan said the results were "relatively close" but "if that trend carries through it looks like this election is over for a number of members of Team McMillan".
"There are still quite a few votes between Margaret and I now, it's getting late in the night," he said.
"2000 votes can't be ignored but we are going to stick in there and keep punching to the end.
"I'm weary, I'm really satisfied, I am so thankful for the people that have been around me and supported me through all this but I think anything I can take out of all of this is we do have amazing people who care deeply about this region and that's what motivated me to run in the first place.
"I love this town and I have grown even closer to it now I've had such great support.
"Today has been surprising, we had such a warm reception across all the polling booths which was very heart warming.
"That's why I'm keeping faith with that."
Division 6 councillor candidate Drew Wickerson, with 31.51% of the vote, said there had been some tough moments throughout the campaign.
"(Working in Team McMillan) has been the best part," he said.
"I'm surprised at the result so far but again its early days and anything could happen yet."
The votes are currently being counted electronically for the mayoral candidates in Livingstone tonight, with a clear win for Cr Ludwig who received 68.5% of the votes so far.
72% of votes have been counted from 24,709 voters in the shire with Ludwig securing 12,731 of those votes by 9.20pm.
Cr Ludwig said he always felt confident about winning the race for Mayor in the 2016 local government elections, but didn't want to be too self-assured.
"To my competitor, it's a democratic process, which means anybody in the community can put their hand up," he said from the Keppel Bay Sailing Club tonight."
"And to Mr Henwood, I said "good on ya" when he decided to throw his hat in the ring. And I say commiserations but well done for having a go, but I did say the community needed the most experienced and capable hands and really, you have to have some local government experience to take on the top job, particularly in this climate.
"And I would encourage Mr Henwood, if he wants to have a future in local government, go as a councillor, learn the ropes and earn the respect of the community and have a go again."
Cr Ludwig said the current council could not have moved forward without the support of the community.
"From my perspective, we've got a great council and the majority of whom, were prepared to work together," he said.
"We were able to get consensus 98% of the time at our table, and it's been a council that's worked closely with the organisation."
GATHERED with family friends over a meal, Mayoral candidate for Livingstone Heath Henwood says although defeated after going up against Bill Ludwig, he hoped the new council would make wise decisions.
The school teacher said it was disappointing to see the large gap in votes between the two candidates
