In order to ensure compliance with International Human Rights standards and good correctional practices, the Federal Government has expressed its readiness to implement the Correctional Service Act 2019.
The Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (HAGF), Abubakar Malami SAN made the statement during the press briefing on the Effective Implementation of the Correctional Service Act, 2019, in Abuja on Tuesday November 19, 2019.
The press briefing is a prelude to a three-day strategic National Sensitization Workshop on the Implementation of the Correctional Service Act, 2019 scheduled to hold from 25th to 27th November, 2019.
He said that the Theme “Towards Effective Implementation of the Correctional Service Act, 2019’’, is to sensitise stakeholders especially the Justice Sector Institutions on the provisions of the Act particularly the provisions regarding non-custodial services which is newly introduced.
According to him, the Workshop will provide a veritable platform for the overview and comparative analysis of Correctional Service Act, 2019. He added that it will also engage participants to work together towards the development of a strategic Action Plan to support the deployment of non-custodial services as provided under the Act.
The Act will also enhance the focus on corrections and promotion of reformation, rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders and establish institutional, systemic and sustainable mechanisms to address the high number of persons awaiting trial.
Enumerating on the achievements of the Committee so far, Malami said President Muhammadu Buhari on August 14th, 2019, signed the Correctional Service Bill, into Law.
This brought about the much needed legislative backbone for the comprehensive implementation of the national policies and strategies for prisons decongestion in Nigeria. “The plan will comprise of short, medium- and long-term measures that will create the requisite social awareness of the non-custodial services”, he explained.
Describing the passage of the Act as a major turning point in Prisons Reform and Justice Sector delivery in Nigeria, the HAGF said the Act has some innovative provisions which addressed some major issues that have been of concern to stakeholders in the Justice sector.
Malami explained that, the Committee has since its inauguration visited and appraised about thirty-four (34) prisons in sixteen (16) states and that total number of Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Sixty-Eight (3,768), have been released via payment of fines for convicts for minor offences with the option of fine who are unable to pay the fines, general review of peculiar cases and advocacy overtures to relevant authorities.
He stated that the Committee had written letters of appeal to several State Government Executives to act on some special cases encountered during the visits to various prisons in some states as well as to exercise their powers of clemency in deserving cases or commute to life sentence those condemned to death.
He added that the committee has also made recommendations to the relevant authorities for the renovation/construction of prison facilities.
“The Committee conducts the review of cases of inmates awaiting trial for upwards of five (5) years, and of inmates eligible for Prerogative of Mercy with relevant authorities and looks into cases of condemned convicts on death row for over ten (10) years with the view to getting relevant authorities to commute the sentences to life imprisonment” Malami reiterated .
Speaking earlier, the Chief Judge, FCT High Court /Chairman, Presidential Committee on Prisons Reform and Decongestion of Prisons, Hon. Justice Ishaq Bello, said a lot of prisons outlets had been visited and decisions were taken in term of release. He challenged state Chief Judges to ensure speedy trials of inmates. He noted that the change of name from prison service to correctional has demonstrated government actions.
In reference to HAGF briefing, he said, the Committee had visited thirty-four (34) prisons in sixteen (16) states. He explained further that they have carried out prison’s inspection exercises wherein a number of facilities were discovered to be in dire need of urgent rehabilitation and made recommendations as a matter of urgency to the relevant authorities for the renovation/construction of prison facilities.
Justice Bello explained that, the new Act, would not tolerate the situation whereby inmates are kept in inadequate facilities while adding that, the Correctional Officers have the right to reject a suspect brought with health challenge.
He therefore called on the Media to support the Government and the Judiciary to enlighten the general public on the need to implement the Act.
Also present at the event were members of the Committee, Directors of the Ministry and the Media.

The European sovereign debt crisis which has been gestating for years seems ready to come to a head as the IMF met last weekend in Washington that were dominated by talks about Greece, debt, and the risk of global contagion.
Amidst tense talks about the future of the Eurozone in which the idea of allowing Greece to default on its insurmountable half-trillion dollar debt was floated, even the usually staid US Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, warned that "cascading default, bank runs, and catastrophic risk" was a real possibility. G20 Finance Ministers and central bank governors are now calling for the European Central Bank to double their existing bailout fund to create a trillion Euro emergency stockpile to recapitalize European banks and fund Spain and Italy as their economies teeter on the edge of a Greek-like meltdown...

In case their checking this comment, End The FED. However, before ending it, totally audit it and make it very clear who owns it. Then confiscate the whole thing, return the rightful power back to Congress as the Constitution intended. Above all prosecute anybody responsible for wasting tax payer money, (the FED's money is taxpayer money), put them in Jail forever with no possibility of parole even by the President. Publish all owners names and address, they get no more dividends of any kind.

Toledo Blade - The Republican challengers to U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown will have to elevate the tone of their campaigns considerably before Election Day if they expect voters to take them seriously.
In Ohio’s Senate race, Republican nominee Josh Mandel appears to be waging his campaign to respond to the question: How low can you go?
Politics ain’t beanbag, as Mr. Dooley observed long ago. Voters expect candidates to attack their opponents’ records and, it’s to be hoped, to explain how they would do better. Below-the-belt personal attacks and dubious historical revisionism are other matters entirely.
Above all, voters should not be forced to wonder whether there is absolutely nothing a candidate will not say or do — at whatever cost — to win an election.

With members of Kilkenny Borough and County Councils due to meet on May 8 about a proposed purchase of Diageo’s St Francis Abbey Brewery site for €2.1 million, we asked the 12 members of the Borough Council for their opinions on the matter.
Each was asked whether they were in favour of or against the councils’ purchasing the site for €2.1 million; whether they were in favour of or opposed to the idea of scrapping the Central Access Scheme (CAS) bridge and using that money to purchase the site instead of taking out a loan of €1.3 million; and what they would like to see done with the site.
Mayor David Fitzgerald said he was in favour of the councils’ purchasing the site, but not in favour of doing away with the Central Access Scheme bridge to use that money for the purchase. Regarding the future of the brewery site, he said: “The first step is to engage in a public debate, and with that in mind I hope to hold a town-hall meeting in late May to discuss the future of the site and other sites in the city.”
Martin Brett said he was in favour of the councils’ purchasing the Diageo site for €2.1 million. He is against using the CAS money to do it, however. “The Central Access Scheme is already been passed, so leave it alone. It has gone through An Bord Pleanála and everything else, so we shouldn’t change it,” he said. As for what use the site should be put to in future years, he said he wasn’t sure at the moment, but he said he was certain of one thing: “We will be in charge of it rather than having some outside developer coming into it.”
John Coonan said that the opportunity to purchase the site was one not to be missed. He rejected the suggestion that the Central Access Scheme should be sidelined to free up funds. “The CAS is an integral part of this development,” he said. As to what should ultimately be developed on the site, Cllr Coonan said that it must be something that would not clash with city centre retail. “Clearly what we want is something very special,” he said. “An institutional development, an educational development or a technical development maybe – something to add to our attractiveness as a city. The historical aspect of the site would have to be developed too.”
Paul Cuddihy said he did not want to speculate before the councils meet on May 8. “I am going to the meeting and there is no point in having an opinion poll (beforehand),” he said. He also would not be drawn on the suggestion to use CAS funding to purchase the site. He did offer several suggestions for how the site should be developed in the future, however: “One, I think we can use it for river-based activities at the riverside. Two, we can develop the St Francis Abbey Brewery as a tourist site. Three, we can work with Guinness to ensure that whatever they are offering – as with the Hop Store in Dublin, which is the number one tourist attraction – we would hope that that would help all the businesses on Parliament Street and beyond in Kilkenny. And four, we don’t need more houses and we don’t need more shops. If it were up to me, I would try and have either new jobs or perhaps a faculty of a university for the South East.”
Marie Fitzpatrick said she was very much in favour of the councils’ purchasing the brewery site. On whether or not the Central Access Scheme should be sidelined to free up money for the purchase, the Labour councillor said she didn’t know and would have to give the idea some thought. Regarding the future of the site, she said that there would have to be public consultation: “I think that it should be developed so that it will be an amenity or tourist attraction in the city,” she said. “I’m sure that the Watergate Theatre and the residents of the area would have to be consulted also.”
Kathleen Funchion said she was “definitely” in favour of the councils’ purchasing the brewery site. On whether the CAS money should be used for the purchase instead of taking out a loan, she said: “I would be open to looking at it, at least. I do think we should look at it and see if it’s a possibility. I wouldn’t rule it out.” On future uses for the site, she said that whatever goes into the site should be the result of public consultation on the matter. “It is really important that we do some sort of consultation that people can feed into, and the workers in the brewery should have a chance to feed into that consultation process as well.” She said she would also like for the future plans to include an education element.
Joe Malone said he would support the purchase of the site. He said that he had never voiced his support for the Central Access Scheme, and that there “could be some merit” in scrapping or delaying the construction of the new bridge, to use the funding for purchasing the site. As regards future development of the St Francis Abbey site, Cllr Malone said that any decision should have full public approval. “It is up to the people to decide,” he said. “I don’t think it should be a retail or shopping centre, but the people should have their say.”
Betty Manning said she was in favour of the idea of the councils’ purchasing the site, but said that she would reserve her decision until the council members are supplied with further details at their up-coming meeting. “It is of huge importance to the city,” she said. Likewise she said she did not want to speculate on using CAS money to fund a purchase of the site. “We need to hear what the (county) manager has in store for us. We don’t know any of the details around the purchase or what has been said between the manager and Diageo,” she said. As for what she hopes will be done with the site, she said: “The sky is the limit.” She said she expected that there would be a tourist element and possibly a micro-brewery, and that “it does need some commercial activity as well.” “I would like to see something that will complement what’s already on the main streets.”
Andrew McGuinness is in favour of the councils’ purchasing the site for €2.1 million. “I would have loved to see them taking up Joe Reidy’s proposal to offer it for free, but obviously that is not going to happen,” he said. Cllr McGuinness said he would not support any compromise to the Central Access Scheme bridge, which he described as “vital” to the city. He feels that the site could be used for a Norman “cultural centre” with an education museum or related business. “The thing I don’t want to see happening to the site is any commercial units or housing,” he said. “Whatever happens, we must retain and take advantage of the site’s historical value to Kilkenny.”
Malcolm Noonan said, on whether the councils should purchase the site for €2.1 million: “I haven’t got any costings in terms of remediation of the site or its future use, so I would be very cautious about it. If we do want to control what development will take place there in the future, we have the power under zoning. We have quite a significant amount of properties, including St Mary’s Church, that we want to develop as well, and while it is a great opportunity, I do think that we need to take a cautious approach to it. We could have the same impact without spending a penny because we have the ability to zone it.” On whether the CAS money should be used rather than a loan, he said: “I think if we are to proceed with the purchase, the only way it could be done is if we don’t have to borrow money for it. We have €1.2 million in our own coffers from development contributions and I think this opportunity should be to consolidate the real core of the city, and the Central Access Scheme has on place in that.” On what should be done with the site, he said: “It should have a good mix of social infrastructure, be it a community park; an element of retail, but planned very carefully; and perhaps some start-up units specifically for clean-tech, IT or cultural-based industries.” He suggested that the old industrial plant could be used for an art college, as has happened at sites in the UK.
Seán Ó hArgáin said he had not fully made up his mind as yet, but that the offer to purchase the site merited serious consideration. “I think at that price we would be very foolish not to consider it strongly,” he said. Cllr Ó hArgáin said that future plans for the site would have to take into account housing projections and the review of the city centre retail strategy. “We have to look very carefully at every option,” he said. “I think ultimately it should be a mix of retail and residential accommodation. We need to preserve the integrity of the city, and to ensure the area will become part of the extended city centre.” The Labour councillor feels that the bridge construction should go ahead, and that securing a loan for the brewery site will not present a problem. “I have been in favour of the Central Access Scheme in the past, and haven’t seen anything yet that would change that,” he said.
Joe Reidy, who originally tabled a Borough Council motion proposing that Diageo give the site to the city for a nominal amount, said he stood by his initial request. “I am happy that they have offered it to us, but €2.1 million is just a drop in the ocean for Diageo,” he said. “I still feel that they should give it to Kilkenny for a nominal sum.” Cllr Reidy said he would not be in favour of getting rid of the CAS bridge, as he feels the scheme would be integral to any development of the site. As regards the site’s future, he said he could envisage the development of a “cultural” quarter, possibly to include some sort of city museum, extension of the Watergate Theatre, or river tourist attraction.

As part of its mandate and passion to create equal access to justice, the Office of the Public Defender (OPD), has said that it would be offering free legal representation in courts to 350 inmates across Correctional Centres in Lagos State.
It explained that the move followed the identification of inmates as the class of people who need support and assistance through free legal representations in courts during OPD’s periodic visits to correctional centres.
The OPD’s Director, Dr. Babajide Martins, said that the move was in line with the Federal Government’s mandate to decongest the correctional facilities across the country and ensure those awaiting trials are tried in recorded time.
According to him, it is unfortunate that many inmates of the correctional centres are lacking legal representation, especially those awaiting trial, due to their inability to afford the fees,.
Through a statement on Sunday, he added that some inmates have been abandoned by their private lawyers because of frequent adjournments and mounting cost.
According to him, some of the inmates that OPD has selected to benefit from the free representation have spent many years behind bars with charges for various offences including armed robbery, assault, cultism, murder, manslaughter and stealing under false pretence.
While revealing that the Office would increase the number of its visits to correctional centres in the state in order to assist more inmates, Martins said that most of them have also expressed their desire for a plea bargain to hasten their court cases.
“The provision of free legal services to the needy in correctional centres is not only part of OPD’s mandate, but also in furtherance of the need to ensure access to Justice by all Lagosians, which is a pivotal part of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu led administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S agenda for good governance,” the statement said.

Support » Aging in PWS
Aging in the Adult with Prader-Willi Syndrome – A Focus on Physical and Cognitive Health
By Barb Dorn, R.N., B.S.N., Verona, Wisconsin and Lizabeth Moser, M.S.W., L.C.S.W., Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
(This is the first in a series of three articles about aging in adults with PWS.)
As adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) grow older, we are learning more about some of the common health issues many are facing. Researchers are starting to investigate the aging process in persons with PWS. It can be challenging to distinguish between health concerns that are inherent to PWS versus concerns that we all face as we age. Family history is also contributory to many health concerns and must also be considered.
This article will highlight some of the more common physical and cognitive health issues being identified by researchers as well as professionals who are working with this aging population. According to Eiholzer and Lee (2006), some of the main medical problems being reported in adults with PWS include physical disability (resulting in mobility issues), respiratory insufficiency, osteoporosis and scoliosis. The major cause of overall death in adults with PWS was respiratory insufficiency triggered by acute or chronic lung infections – not cardiopulmonary disease as originally hypothesized.
During the 2010 International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organization conference in Taiwan, researchers from The Netherlands shared findings from their study of 102 adults with PWS ages 18-66 years. Sinnema, Maaskant, et al. reported a majority (56%) were obese. In addition, the following health conditions were common: leg edema (56%), erysipelas - an acute streptococcal infection of the skin (38%), constipation (38%), diabetes mellitus (17%), osteoporosis (16%), pneumonia (14%) and hypertension (9%). There was also a high incidence of psychiatric episodes.
According to Rena Mills, R.N., Health Services Coordinator for Prader-Willi Homes of Oconomowoc (PWHO), which provides residential services to over 80 adults with PWS, premature aging seems to be a concern. By the time their residents are 40, many have medical problems like those who are 60. Mills also identified many of the same health problems as mentioned above – osteoporosis/osteopenia, constipation, intestinal blockages, pneumonia, diabetes, cellulitis, low sodium levels and high/low blood pressures.
Changes in cognitive function are also being examined to determine if the early onset of dementia may be an additional concern for adults with PWS.
Studies have shown that adults with Down syndrome (DS) are more likely to develop Alzheimer-type dementia than their peers without DS (Silverman, Zigman, Krinsky-McHale & Schupf, 2008). Still other research suggests the prevalence of dementia in adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) who do not have DS is higher than the general population (Strydom, Chan, Fenton, et al., 2010). What does this mean for aging adults with PWS?
In March 2009 the State of Science on Dementia in older adults with Intellectual Disabilities reported, “aging and cognitive functioning has been studied in so few of the ID syndromes other than DS.” Sinnema and her research team from The Netherlands contributed to this critically-needed knowledge base with their 2010 case study of a 58-year-old woman with PWS. The resulting assessment scores supported the presence of dementia.
PWHO currently supports 27 (33%) individuals with PWS in their 40s and 2 (2%) in their 50s; one woman was diagnosed with dementia at age 54. An assessment procedure was developed to measure cognitive changes as they age, so the possible onset of dementia can be detected and early treatment implemented. This data will also be a future resource for understanding how aging influences the cognitive process in PWS.
Knowing what physical and mental health issues are common allows us to initiate preventive measures and plan appropriately for future care needs. The second article in this series will focus on five of the most common health issues being seen in aging adults with PWS along with strategies to prevent and/or minimize their effects. The third will focus on dementia research, assessment and treatment. This collaborative series will provide insight into how aging affects adults with PWS and the approaches to help to ensure they can remain healthy, productive members of their communities.

Physical Health Issues and the Aging Adult with Prader-Willi Syndrome
By Barb Dorn, R.N., B.S.N. Nurse Clinician,
University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Verona, Wisconsin
(second in a series of 3 articles that share information about aging in adults with PWS with a focus on health.)
Many physical aspects of Prader-Willi syndrome impact body systems that can result in chronic health problems with increased risk of complications as a person ages. Obesity impacts most (if not all) aspects of health. Low muscle tone and spine deformities can contribute to respiratory and mobility issues. Hormonal abnormalities, low activity levels and nutritional deficiencies can result in low bone density and an increased risk of fractures. Sedentary lifestyle may contribute to lower extremity swelling and poor circulation. Diabetes is common, contributing to problems with eyesight, wound healing and other vascular issues. Constipation and other bowel problems may result from diet and low fluid intake as well as poor bowel habits.
The following are five of the most common health concerns being seen in adults with PWS as they age.
Prevention and management suggestions are also included.
Respiratory Insufficiency is the major cause of death in adults with PWS, triggered by acute or chronic lung infections – not cardiopulmonary disease as originally believed (Eiholzer and Lee 2006). Spine deformities including scoliosis and kyphosis (“hunchback” deformity) can impact lung expansion and put a person at greater risk for respiratory compromise. Evaluation and treatment of sleep apnea, which can increase morbidity and mortality, is important, especially when an adult is undergoing a surgical procedure. Aggressive measures should be taken to prevent and manage lung infections and chronic lung conditions. Prompt evaluation of upper respiratory infections may necessitate initiation of antibiotics, encouragement of fluids, and/or assurance that the adult is kept moving and expanding their lungs. Follow-up with medical specialists is important. Discussions with health care professionals should take place on the administration of annual influenza immunization as well as the pneumonia vaccine.
Low Bone Density, Degenerative Changes and Mobility Issues can affect the aging population in general, with those with PWS at greater risk. The normal aging process results in decreased hormone production, arthritic changes and a combination of other risk factors that contribute to mobility issues and increase the risk of falling. Today, the use of growth hormone and supplementation of estrogen and testosterone in adults with PWS is more common, along with calcium and Vitamin D supplements and a greater focus on proper nutrition in an effort to prevent osteoporosis. Closer monitoring of bone density and the use of appropriate treatment is becoming more prevalent. Weight-bearing activities as well as medications are being tried to treat osteoporosis. Osteoporosis should be documented before initiating these medications, many of which have significant side effects. An increasing number of adults with PWS are undergoing orthopedic surgeries to treat degenerative joint problems. Keeping a person mobile is critical. When an adult with PWS becomes dependent upon a wheelchair, their risk of developing other medical emergencies (blood clots in legs and/or pulmonary emboli) is greatly increased.
It is important to create environments that reduce the risk of falls, such as guardrails installed in bathrooms and other areas, removal of throw rugs and proper lighting (especially at night). Canes and walkers may be needed to stabilize balance. Proper fitting shoes with a good tread can also help. All medications should be assessed for their impact on balance. Vision should be checked, and because bifocal lenses can alter depth perception and increase the risk of falling, two pairs of glasses may be preferable. A one-story home or home with ramps and other measures to assist with mobility should be considered.
Peripheral Vascular Problems, including ankle and lower extremity swelling and problems with blood pressure, are being reported in many aging adults with PWS. These types of circulation problems are often seen in diabetes. Vascular problems also impact wound healing and can result in leg ulcers and cellulitis. Skin picking problems can become very severe. Preventing circulation problems is optimal. Walking is one of the best activities to promote lower extremity circulation. Prolonged sitting should be avoided. When sitting, make sure feet are resting on the floor or stool – avoid “dangling legs”. In severe cases, special stockings may be prescribed. However, caution must be used to make sure these stockings do not impair circulation further or cause problems with wound healing. In some cases, these stockings have been used as a barrier to skin picking. Prompt attention to any cuts or sores in lower extremities and feet should take place. Avoid open-toe shoes-- especially thong-type sandals--to prevent injury to skin. These types of shoes may also cause balance and stability problems. Nail care is imperative and should be done by a health care provider if the adult has diabetes. Hydration is important to assist with maintenance of blood pressure. Weight loss, exercise, lower salt intake, frequent monitoring of BP measurements are all important. Medication to lower elevated BP may be needed.
Complications of Diabetes can often be severe and impact every body system. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the aging population, especially those who are overweight, may develop Type 2 diabetes. High levels of glucose in the bloodstream damages blood vessels throughout the entire body—resulting in vision problems, kidney disease, and heart and vascular problems including stroke, high blood pressure and heart disease. Diabetes also impacts circulation and impairs healing – especially in lower extremities. Adults with PWS can be at increased risk to develop diabetes, especially if they are overweight. Many persons with PWS are diagnosed with diabetes at a young age. This can add years of damage to blood vessels. Screening, early diagnosis and treatment are important. The ADA recommends screening with a blood test called Hemoglobin (Hgb) A-1C. This should be done 1-2 times a year depending on risk factors. Annual blood lipid and cholesterol testing is suggested. Diet and weight management is imperative. An active lifestyle including exercise is also important. Once diagnosed with diabetes, the adult with PWS should adhere to any diet and/or medication regime that is prescribed.
Changes in Bowel Habits – Constipation is another health problem that many adults face as they grow older. Persons with PWS of all ages seem to struggle with gastrointestinal issues; constipation is common. Many of the same interventions used to manage other health issues also help this problem. Exercise, an increased activity level, adequate fluid intake, high fiber foods are just a few suggestions. Probiotic foods and supplements have also been beneficial. In many cases, daily fiber and/or laxative supplementation may be needed. Staff may need to monitor the frequency and consistency of a resident’s stool. Higher incidences of intestinal obstruction and ileus (slowing or stoppage of the intestine) have also been reported. Caution should also be used when using medications that slow the intestine – especially medicines used to treat diarrhea. Diarrhea can be a symptom of intestinal blockage.
Many of the issues are the same as all of us age. The goal is to minimize problems so aging adults can maintain a higher quality of life.
Cognitive Changes in the Aging Adult with Prader-Willi Syndrome
By Lizabeth Moser, M.S.W., L.C.S.W. - Psychotherapist with Prader-Willi Homes of Oconomowoc, WI
(This is the third in a series of three articles that shares information about aging in adults with PWS with a focus on dementia.)
With the increased awareness of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) leading to early diagnosis and treatment, life expectancy has grown dramatically over the years. When I first began working with adults with PWS in 1989, I learned that many did not live past their teen years due to obesity-related medical complications. Back then, I worked with 15 people diagnosed with PWS, most in their early twenties.
Twenty-plus years later, I am thankful to still work with many of those individuals, as we step into our forties together. We are entering the uncharted years of aging in PWS with the aim to achieve the same outcome as the frontier movements of awareness--early detection and treatment--to ensure continued quality of life.
This article explores how aging may influence cognitive processes in PWS and how we can prepare for future needs.
What is Dementia?
According to Wikipedia, “dementia is a serious loss of cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person, beyond what might be expected from normal aging.” There are several types of dementia, but the most common is Alzheimer’s (AD), which occurs in “50-80 percent of dementia cases.” It is a progressive disease with symptoms getting worse over time (www.alz.org).
In the general population, Alzheimer-type dementia usually occurs after the age of 65 (alz.org). Dementia studies are not as abundant in the area of intellectual disability (ID) syndromes compared to the general population studies, but in March 2009, the State of Science on Dementia released a comprehensive review of studies from 1997-2008 relating to aging and intellectual disabilities.
This 2009 review reported that “the prevalence of dementia (particularly AD) among the ID population may differ from the general population, at least in specific subgroups such as Down syndrome (DS)” (Zigman, Schupf, Haveman, & Silverman, 1997). Later studies showed that the prevalence of dementia in the ID population was 6.1% in those aged 60 and over, which is comparable to the percentage in the general population (Janicki and Dalton 2000). The same study showed that adults with DS had much higher rates of dementia--56% for those 60 and older.
The man age of dementia onset:
• General population: 67 years
• Intellectual Disability excluding DS: 67.2 years
• Intellectual Disability with DS: 52.8 years
• Intellectual Disability with PWS: Unknown
PWS Research Overview:
The State of Science on Dementia cited one PWS study by Sinnema, Maaskant, Van Schrojenstein, et. al. in 2008, which evaluated 74 individuals with PWS ages 18-63 years old and reported no cases of dementia.
At the IPWSO conference in Taiwan last year, several studies examining aging in PWS were presented. Whittington and Holland reported the results of their study Recent Mortality Rates and Risk of Dementia in PWS. They found that out of the 26 individuals who were 40 years and older: 22 with no signs of dementia, one case of mild-moderate dementia, one potential case of mild dementia and evidence of cognitive decline in one person.
Sinnema and her research team from the Netherlands presented a case study of a 58-year-old woman with PWS. The assessment scores supported “the presence of dementia in very late stages.”
The researchers agree that more studies are needed to understand how aging will affect older persons with PWS.
Preparing for the Future:
Prader-Willi Homes of Oconomowoc (PWHO) currently supports 81 adults in residential care: 27% are in their 30s, 33% are in their 40s, and 2% in their 50s. One woman was diagnosed with dementia almost three years ago at age 54.
According to the article Stopping Alzheimer’s Before it Starts posted on www.medicinenet.com , “the prevention process should begin at approximately age 40. That is because on the average, Alzheimer’s disease begins 30 years before the first symptoms appear.” Because it is unknown when onset may occur, PWHO has taken the approach of evaluating cognitive changes over time with the aim of early detection and treatment.
The fundamentals of this procedure are as follows:
1. All clients have a mental status baseline score from “The Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire” (SPMSQ).
Date of assessment and cognitive range (normal mental functioning, mild, moderate or severe cognitive impairment) corresponding with score on the questionnaire are documented.
2. All clients thirty-five years and older complete the SPMSQ annually. If there is a change in range, further evaluation occurs (i.e. retesting, additional assessments, psychotherapist consult, psychiatrist consult, neurologist consult).
3. Clients that present with any significant behavioral and/or mental health changes complete the SPMSQ to assist in determining the possible cause(s) of decline in functioning.
4. If cognitive range declines and other medical or mental health causes have been ruled out, more in-depth assessments that measure cognitive and daily functioning are administered.
To date, the assessment scores have shown no indication of early onset of dementia in the 30s or 40s.
In diagnosing dementia and evaluating potential risk for early onset, an important contributing factor is family history.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has the following statement on their Web site, www.nia.nih.gov :
AD is a complex disease, and no single “magic bullet” is likely to prevent or cure it. That’s why current treatments focus on several different issues, including helping people maintain mental function, managing behavioral symptoms, and slowing AD.
Visit www.webmd.com under Alzheimer’s Disease: Daily Care of the Alzheimer’s Patient for support recommendations. One of the most important suggestions for caregivers is “to understand and act according to your own physical and emotional limitations. Be sure to take care of yourself, and allow yourself periods of rest and relaxation.” Other factors in caring for somebody with AD are exercise, nutrition, socialization, structure, routine, and visual cues. As a PWS community, we are already one step ahead of managing the symptoms of dementia, as the approaches are similar to the ones effective in supporting persons with PWS.
In addition to daily supports, medication has also been used to manage and potentially slow down AD. The State of Science on Dementia reported, “Donepezil is the most commonly used anti-dementia drug used in intellectual disabilities to treat dementia, and there is some evidence for rivastigmine.” The woman diagnosed with dementia residing at PWHO has had a positive response to receiving donepezil (Aricept).
As treatment strategies are planned, it is important to remember that dementia is a progressive disease in that “lost skills cannot be regained” (www.webmd.com). It is crucial to incorporate and continue with activities that are physically and mentally stimulating per individual’s preference.
More studies are needed to understand how the aging process will affect persons with PWS. There is not enough information to make any conclusive statements about how or when dementia will present.
Based on my review of the literature and observations at PWHO, there is no evidence to suggest that dementia in PWS is comparable to Down syndrome with the potential age of mid-30s onset. Further research is needed to evaluate whether or not the onset could occur earlier than other ID syndromes and the general population.
Like PWS, dementia has no cure, but with early detection and the necessary supports in place, we can provide the best opportunity for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of the individual.
As we make this venture into unknown territory together, we will continue to do what the PWS community does best--unite forces--by sharing experiences, contributing to the knowledge base, applying what is successful and growing together--stronger and more informed than the day before.

Fremont Emergency Management is warning about flooding in the county today. It’s expected the flooding will continue until 2 p.m.
The flooding is a result of 1.75 inches of recent rains and snow melting that will impact rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying flood-prone locations, it said.
It’s expected that flooding will impact Ashton, Marysville, Henrys Lake, Parker, Drummond, Ashton Reservoir, Last Chance, Island Park Reservoir, Ponds Lodge, Chester, Shotgun Village, Macks Inn, St Anthony, Island Park Village, Egin, Warm River, Ashton Hill, Harriman State Park, Mesa Falls State Park and Big Springs.
The management organization urges motorists to avoid driving to those communities.
“Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads,” it said. “Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.”

The long-awaited completion of Carlos Correa’s blockbuster contract with the Mets was put on hold for the Christmas holidays on Sunday.
The Mets and Correa camps are said to be trying to resolve the issue after the team mentioned problems with Correa’s physical examinations on Thursday and Friday in New York. It is believed to be related to ankle surgery and subsequent MRI in 2014.
Before the vacation was temporarily suspended, both teams had discussed the questionable MRI value and joint “function” and Correa’s history of reliability. Correa has missed just 14 games on average over the last three his seasons, and he has not had any relevant treatment since his 2014 surgery, according to agent Scott Boras.
The Mets and Correa camps were said to be “in the works” on Saturday, and there seems to be some optimism that things could work out. The Mets knew Giants doctors discovered the problem when the Mets and Correa camps agreed late at night to his $315 million 12-year contract that rocked New York. .
Following the Mets’ findings, several other teams have checked in. However, unlike in the case of the Giants, who told the Correa camp that they needed more time, representatives of the Mets and Correa said after this latest checkup, Boras told reporters in New York on Thursday. It seems that more substantive discussions are taking place between
Following the agreement between Mets owner Steve Cohen and Bolas, there were many rumors about the deal on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. (2:30 a.m. New York time) in Hawaii, where Cohen was vacationing. There was excitement. (Boras was calling from San Francisco, where Correa’s press conference was canceled hours earlier.)
“We needed one more and that’s it,” Cohen told the Post shortly after the deal was agreed. “This was important. …This puts us on top.”
Correa is said to be similarly excited about the chance to join the star-studded Mets team. The team now has a record-breaking $380+ million roster and a chance to be a World Series favorite (if the deal goes through). Despite being considered the two or three best defensive shortstops in the game, if not the best in the game, Correa was told he had no problem giving up shortstop and moved to third base to play his friend’s. Added support for Francisco Lindor.
Much of the Mets’ post-physical narrative seems to relate to the value of relying on MRI for reliability and performance in the real field. Ultimately, though, the teams may at least have to agree on language to protect the Mets. It’s unclear if Correa has enough motivation to agree to any changes to the terms, or if the Mets will suggest anything along those lines.
Boras agreed to a $110 million five-year deal with Boston after a Red Sox examination pointed to past foot problems with J.
While in town for Carlos Rodon’s Yankees press conference, Boras told reporters in New York on Thursday that “there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Carlos’ health right now.” seems to be

How often do references need to be measured when using a near infrared diode array spectrometer.
J NEAR INFRARED SPEC
79 - 85.
The stability of a diode array spectrometer in the near infrared region has been investigated in two experiments where the frequency of passing of dark and white references, which need manual intervention, was varied. In the first experiment, an initial pair of references was used to standardise spectra taken over the next four days. In the second, references were taken at hourly intervals over a period of ten hours. The conclusion is that, in a reasonably well-controlled environment, the spectrometer is stable over long periods and the passing of hourly references conveys no advantage. An important implication is that this spectrometer may be used in on-line applications without the need to construct an automatic mechanism to measure references.

Tomorrow I am having an online celebration for the launch of my new YA mystery Promise Me. Anyone can join the facebook page to take part in giveaways and watch some videos/find out more about the book!
One of the most exciting things on the lead up to the release of a book, (I think anyway), is getting to see your cover come to life. I am delighted today to ‘unveil’ the front cover of my new Young Adult mystery Promise Me which will be released at the end of the month.
I think my talented designer friend Rebecca Johnstone, (check out her Dainty Dora website here), has done an amazing job of putting together a dramatic and eye-catching design. I gave Rebecca a rough outline of what I wanted, then Rebecca worked her creative magic to pull it all together. It was a fun, collaborative process and it has been lovely to commission a friend to work on such an important part of my book.
~ Here is a teaser blurb for Promise Me~
When threats begin, Darcy realises someone might be prepared to do anything to hide the truth…
Following the separation of her parents, seventeen-year-old Darcy moves with her mum to a wealthy Scottish village which hit the headlines when a local girl was stabbed at a Halloween party two years previously.
Darcy always wondered about Christian Henderson’s conviction of murder, fascinated by this attractive misfit and his story.
Much of Christian’s trial took place online, before he even reached the courtroom, with witch-hunt style podcasts and online forums spinning stories of what happened the night of the party.
Darcy befriends the inner social circle at school and strikes up a friendship with Christian through letters, determined to uncover unanswered questions around the conviction.
But who can she believe?
Tomorrow is the BIG LAUNCH for Follow Me at Waterstones, Argyle Street, Glasgow 6.30pm. I’m putting the final preparations together today for little things I want to take along. I’ve put together a montage photo (at the top) with some moments from my day yesterday. One big moment was getting to hold my book Follow Me for the first time in my hands – such a great feeling! And I also received a pop art card from one of my work colleagues – that’s me, Andy Warhol style, which is just brilliant. All of my work colleagues, friends and family, have been so supportive and excited for me and it makes the whole run up to launch day even more exciting for me!
The coke bottles are a little extra thing I am taking along to my launch, keeping in with the Andy Warhol, pop art theme.
One of my biggest champions since I could read and write was my Mum, the writer Rosemary Gemmell, and I was delighted to be interviewed on her blog yesterday. You can read that here I couldn’t ask for a more inspiring and supportive Mum and it’s brilliant being able to share a love of words and writing with her. I was so happy when she got her brilliant book, The Highland Lass published earlier this year (one of many), as I know this was a story close to her heart, and I think this is probably my favourite book of hers.
There will be updates from launch night soon!!
Click on the Music Player on the right hand side of my site for a soundtrack
The Countdown is on ~ Release date for Follow Me ~ WEDNESDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER 2015
The cover design for Follow Me went through some last minute, quite dramatic, changes the other week and I am delighted to be able to reveal the final finished version above. The artwork/photography is by artist Ida Henrich, and I am really happy with how it turned out. It makes everything feel very real seeing my name on a book cover!
I was lucky to be consulted about my cover (I wonder how many authors are?). My publisher, Strident, even asked me to write a short brief of any ideas I had before work began. I had always visualised woodland being central to the image as Eddison Woods is a central feature in my story (and leads to the Barn). I love the green light in this too.
The release date is 30 September, so not long to go now. As my counter states on my home page – 21 DAYS TO GO!
My launch event still to confirmed – will post details as soon as I know…
As the release date of my book draws ever near I’m finding myself thinking back to the nights I would get lost in writing the story and how listening to certain songs can take me right back there, to that time.
When I write, I usually always have music playing, and back in 2011 I blogged about the ‘soundtrack’ to Follow Me. Songs that I listened to started to feel like they belonged to my story (and to my characters); for me they seemed to ‘fit’ certain scenes perfectly and evoke moods. So below here is a list of songs I feel sit well with Follow Me – you’ll notice a lot of them are by the same artist and really if it were ever made into a film, The Silversun Pickups had better be on board for providing me with the score 🙂
Dots and Dashes – The Silversun Pickups (you’ll notice this is the song that plays on my website)
Catch and Release – The Silversun Pickups
The Royal We – The Silversun Pickups (when this song hits 2:44 I can actually clearly picture Rob and Kat running through the woods)
Panic Switch – The Silversun Pickups
The Bitter End – Placebo
Loud Like Love – Placebo. I just came across this song recently when the book was already finished but some of the lyrics in this weirdly fit with my book (and this could easily be the song Rob has on when he’s driving Kat home~ you can look out for this part when the book comes out!)
Empty Room – Arcade Fire
On the book front, some final tweaks are being made to my cover (the artist of which is Ida Henrich) so I’ll post the final version here soon. I’ve been really lucky as my publisher has consulted with me throughout the whole process.
I’ll hopefully also have details of my retail launch very soon!

Sanyo Epson has announced the development of a 2.2-inch amorphous silicon TFT liquid-crystal display (LCD) that is just 1.1 mm thick, making it ideal for use in mobile phones and other portable devices.
As part of its HCL-S strategy (High quality, Compact design, Low power consumption, System solutions), Sanyo Epson focused on producing the thinner and lighter components demanded in the mobile devices market to develop an ultra-thin 2.2-inch amorphous TFT LCD that is just 1.1 mm thick. This ultra-thin amorphous TFT display is designed specifically for use in mobile phones, where the trend toward slimmer devices is especially pronounced.
Sanyo Epson succeeded in developing this 1.1-mm-thick amorphous TFT LCD by using ultra-thin components, including the backlight, polarizing plate, and glass substrate. By incorporating its proprietary design technology to boost transmissivity, Sanyo Epson was able to achieve high surface brightness of more than 350 candelas per square meter, as well as QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) high definition. These features make the ultra-thin 2.2-inch amorphous silicon LCD ideal for displaying video and receiving "One Seg," a new service in Japan enabling digital TV broadcasts to be viewed on mobile phones.
In addition, the new display is fully compliant with the European Union's RoHS (restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) Directive. Sanyo Epson intends to commercialize the new display for use in mobile phones and other new applications.
Sanyo Epson will exhibit the ultra-thin 2.2-inch amorphous silicon LCD at FPD International 2006 organized by Nikkei Business Publications, to be held from October 18 to 20 at Pacifico Yokohama.

Fat makes foods juicy and tender. It adds flavor and texture to what you cook. It also prevents sticking and gives baked goods their flakiness and sauces their silkiness.
What is the function of fat in cooking?
Fat can blend flavors of ingredients together or enhance the flavor, such as butter. In baked goods, fat also contributes to the tenderness of a product as it prevents flour from absorbing water.
What is the importance of fat in food?
Fat is a source of essential fatty acids, which the body cannot make itself. Fat helps the body absorb vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E. These vitamins are fat-soluble, which means they can only be absorbed with the help of fats.
How does fat add flavor to food?
Fats help you enjoy the taste of food because they’re able to dissolve and concentrate flavor and odor chemicals. These chemicals are released into the air by the heat of cooking. That’s why you can taste sizzling bacon even before you eat it – because some of the flavor molecules are already in your nose and mouth.
Why fats are called most efficient form of food?
Fats are the slowest source of energy but the most energy-efficient form of food. Each gram of fat supplies the body with about 9 calories, more than twice that supplied by proteins or carbohydrates. Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat.
Why fat and oil is important?
Fats and oils make an important contribution to adequate nutrition, they are a source of energy for the body, they insulate and protect the body’s vital organs, they are a source of essential fatty acids and they are required for the absorption of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Why is it important to have fats and oils?
You need a small amount of fat in your diet for healthy functioning. Oils and fats supply calories and essential fats and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E and K. The type of fat is just as important for health as the total amount of fat consumed.
What are the importance of fats in meat?
Intramuscular fats, present in and around the muscle fibers, lubricate the fibers and fibrils and so make for a more tender and juicier product that potentiates the sensation of tenderness. Thus, tenderness is closely associated with juiciness.
What are 4 functions of fats?
“Fat helps give your body energy, protects your organs, supports cell growth, keeps cholesterol and blood pressure under control, and helps your body absorb vital nutrients.
Which of the following is a function of fat?
In the body, fat functions as an important depot for energy storage, offers insulation and protection, and plays important roles in regulating and signaling.
What are fats and oils in food?
Oils and fats are important nutrients in a healthy diet. Structurally, they are esters of glycerol with three fatty acids. As such, they are scientifically called triacylglycerols but are commonly referred to in the food industry as triglycerides.
Are fats good for you?
Dietary fat is essential to your health. It gives you energy and helps your body absorb vitamins. But some types of fat may play a role in heart disease and stroke. In addition, fat is high in calories.
What happens if you don’t eat enough fat?
If you don’t get enough fat in your diet, you may notice symptoms such as dry rashes, hair loss, a weaker immune system, and issues related to vitamin deficiencies. To help maintain good health, most of the fats you eat should be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats.
How much fats do we need?
How much fat should we include in our diet? According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, fats should make up 20-35% of our total daily calorie intake. For those attempting to lose body fat, 0.5-1g/kg of fat should be consumed per day to avoid essential fatty acid deficiency.
What are the 7 main functions of fat?
Functions of Fat in Food
- Heat Transfer.
- Melting Point.
What is essential fat?

What are food sources of fats?
Sources of dietary fat
- fatty cuts of meat.
- full-fat milk, cheese, butter, cream.

What is difference between fat and oil?
Fats and oils are lipids. They are important energy stores in animals and plants. Fats are solid at room temperature whereas oils are liquids.
What are the characteristics of fats?
Fats are made up of a combination of different fatty acids, but one type generally predominates, which determines the physical characteristics. Fats that contain a high proportion of SFA, such as butter or lard, are solid at room temperature and have a relatively high melting temperature.
What is the good fat?
“Good” unsaturated fats — Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats — lower disease risk. Foods high in good fats include vegetable oils (such as olive, canola, sunflower, soy, and corn), nuts, seeds, and fish.
What is good fat and bad fat in food?
Good fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Bad ones include industrial-made trans fats. Saturated fats fall somewhere in the middle.
What happens when you eat fat?
When you eat or drink anything containing fat, these triglycerides make their way to your intestines, where they are absorbed and packaged into specialized delivery structures called chylomicrons. The chylomicrons carry the triglycerides around the blood, delivering them wherever they are needed.
Can we live without fat?
In the absence of body fat, even a muscular man would waste away in days without eating, whereas all but the leanest adults have enough body fat to survive many weeks. And these fat cells aren’t just inert storage depots.
Why you should never cut fat out of your diet?
If you eat a lot of fat, it may contribute to weight gain. But the same goes for any nutrient. However, when you cut fat, you’re more likely to overdo it in the calorie department—upping your risk of weight gain, obesity, and related conditions like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
How do you measure fat in food?
To calculate this, divide a food or drink’s calories from fat by total calories (this information is on the product’s food label) and then multiply by 100. For example, if a 300-calorie food has 60 calories from fat, divide 60 by 300 and then multiply by 100.
What are the types of fat?
What are the types of fat?
- monounsaturated fats.
- polyunsaturated fats.
- saturated fats.
- trans fats.
What are fats and oils made of?
Fats and oils are organic compounds that, like carbohydrates, are composed of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), arranged to form molecules. There are many types of fats and oils and a number of terms and concepts associated with them, which are detailed further here.
Does oil contain fat?
Oils are fats that are liquid at room temperature, like the vegetable oils used in cooking. Oils come from many different plants and from fish. Oils contain more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature like beef fat, butter and shortening.
Why are lipids considered an important part in maintaining the taste and flavor of food?
Role of Lipids in Food: Smell and Taste
Fat contains dissolved compounds that contribute to mouth-watering aromas and flavors and increase palatability of food. Fat also adds texture to food. Baked foods are supple and moist. Frying foods locks in flavor and lessens cooking time.
What is healthy fat food?
Naturally fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines, and albacore tuna are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These are “good” fats that help keep your heart healthy. They may also help keep your brain sharp, especially as you get older.
What is meat fat called?
Tallow is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat, primarily made up of triglycerides.

As the first of many apple cakes this fall/winter I chose an easy and tasty one.
The quality of your apples will make a huge impact on the taste – firmer and less sugary apples tend to work better in this kind of cake.
You can enjoy a slice of this cake as it is or with a scoop of ice cream.
French apple cake
- 170 g butter I used margarine with butter
- 4 small apples try to use firm and acid apples, they have a better texture and taste when baked in a sweet dough
- 140 g flour I used white (80%) and whole wheet flour (20%)
- 1 tea spoon baking powder
- 1/2 tea spoon salt I used fine salt
- 2 large eggs
- 100 g brown suger or white sugar, if you prefer, but the cake will be less "rustic"
- 1 dl rum
- 1/2 tea spoon vanille powder
- milk depending on the texture of your dough after you have added the cut apples. The dough should be liquid enough that it falls off your spoon quite easily.
- powdered sugar for serving
- Peel, core and slice the apples into 1 cm dices
- Heat your oven to 180 degrees
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt in a large bowl
- Whisk the eggs until they are fluffy
- Melt the butter
- Add the eggs and butter to the flour mixture. Add the sugar, rum and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the apples and mix carefully. This is the point, where you need to decide whether your dough needs additional liquid - milk. The dough should be light enough to fall off your spatula.
- Transfer the batter to your buttered cake form and bake for 30 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool off for 15 mins before taking it out of the form and covering it with the powdered sugar.

A recent slowdown in the number of properties being put on the market means that there are fewer properties available for sale than at this time last year. The total number of properties on the market is still around 40% higher than would typically
have been seen at this time of year prior to the ‘credit crunch’. With the number of people in a position to buy still relatively low, competition between sellers remains high.
Over the last three months, 71% of properties sold at Fixed Price have been secured for less than the asking price. During the same period last year that figure stood at just 61%.
David Marshall, business analyst with ESPC commented:
“There has been very little change in the market over the last few months. The number of homes on the market is higher than you would normally see at this time of year whilst the number of active buyers is still lower meaning that market conditions strongly favour those who are in a position to buy. Buyers are frequently able to negotiate discounts on properties and that has helped to bring house prices in most areas back down from the high levels we saw last year.
“The market is most challenging for sellers of smaller properties with activity from first time buyers and buy-to-let investors both well below pre-credit crunch levels. By comparison, demand for family homes is typically more robust although even here the number of homes selling is still below what would have been seen prior to the economic downturn.”

A popular fishing pier made out of the remnants of the old Mantoloking Bridge will remain closed all summer, county officials confirmed. But when it reopens, there will be a new pier installed, improved parking and amenities at the site.
Just before the Memorial Day holiday, anglers hoping to hook a striped bass, bluefish or summer flounder - all abundant near the pier - were met with a barrier and signs warning to stay out. The county-owned pier - a section of the old Mantoloking Bridge that was kept intact as a fishing area when the county built the current bridge several years ago - will remain closed until sometime in the fall, according to Michael Mangum, director of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation.
"We just don’t want anyone getting hurt over there," Mangum said.
Those who fish off the pier, which is situated on the southwestern side of the bridge, park across Mantoloking Road on a county-owned lot that backs up to the former Traders Cove Marina. That parking lot will be improved and expanded and will be outfitted with a picnic area and restrooms, Mangum said.
In March, the Ocean County freeholders authorized $1.4 million to fund the improvements at the site.
The new fishing pier will be built on concrete pilings and situated closer to the water, Mangum .
Anglers looking for a place to fish while the Mantoloking Road pier is under construction aren't totally out of luck. Those seeking to wet a line can travel to the north end of town and fish in the Manasquan River off a pier that was built on the southwest side of the Route 70 bridge, beside the River Rock restaurant.

Signs of Overwatering Dahlias Look out for them if you want to prevent root rot in your plants. Leaves turn yellow but they are limp and soft in the case of overwatering. Tips of the leaves turn brown. You’ll see blisters forming on various parts of your Dahlias.
How often should dahlias be watered?
twice a week
To discourage disease, keep dahlia foliage as dry as possible. Water deeply once or twice a week, allowing the top inch of soil dry out in between.
Can I spray my plants with soapy water?
Simply spraying the whole plant with soapy water won’t work. The soap needs to coat the insects thoroughly—not the leaves—in order to kill them.) If you do spot damage, rinse the leaves with clean water to remove any residual soap.
Do dahlias need lots of water?
Dahlias grow best when they receive a consistent supply of water. Drip irrigation is ideal, as it directs moisture to the root zone while keeping the foliage dry. If you are hand-watering, it’s best to water deeply once or twice per week.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Viktor Arvidsson scored 2:03 into overtime, and the Nashville Predators forced a deciding seventh game for their second straight series by beating the San Jose Sharks 4-3 on Monday night.
Arvidsson jumped the puck between three Sharks and skated up the left side before throwing a backhander past goaltender Martin Jones.
No road team has won yet in this second-round series, and the franchise that had never forced a Game 7 until this postseason will play in its second straight with a berth in the Western Conference finals on the line. The Predators also earned their first two-day break between playoff games this postseason with Game 7 on Thursday night in San Jose.

One Georgia Police Officer Resigns After Arrest Of 65-Year-Old Woman Escalates…But Others Were Involved
In case you missed it, a woman was cussed out and forcibly removed from her vehicle during a traffic stop on May 4 by police officers in Alpharetta, Georgia. According to the police department’s Facebook post, they opened an internal investigation, and on Saturday, one of the officers, James Legg, resigned.
However, the fallout has reached new levels since she was a 65-year-old woman, Rose Campbell.
In an interview with ABC’s Atlanta affiliate WSB, Campbell described the feeling of being dragged out of her vehicle by grown men.
“I just panicked. I felt like my heart exploded,” she said. “I didn’t expect that in America. I didn’t expect that in Atlanta. I didn’t expect that especially in Alpharetta.”
In an effort to be transparent, the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety posted the entire 17-minute video with a statement from Public Safety Chief John Robison.
“We strive to be a transparent department. If we are going to be 100 percent transparent, that means that we also must be willing to share with you any major concerns that arise regarding employee performance and behavior,” Robison says in the video. “There are aspects about this video that simply do not represent our organization.”
The video shows a police officer pulling Campbell over. The officer explains that he is ticketing her for swerving into another lane. When she refuses to sign the ticket, which is against the law in Georgia, the officer told her that she was under arrest. He asks her to get out of the vehicle, but she refuses, at first. He then attempts to forcibly remove her from the vehicle, along with help from another officer. When backup officers arrived on the scene, the situation escalated to a place that it didn’t need to go.
One of the backup officers screamed and pointed in Campbell’s face saying, “You’re not in charge, shut up and get the f— out of the car!” He aggressively yanked Campbell’s arm and pulled her hands behind her back. Campbell lets out a bloodcurdling scream and asks to see a supervisor. By the end of the video, there are six officers on the scene, three which cuffed her, and two escorted her to the police car.
Although one of the officers resigned, the police department wrote a statement that says that they still owe Campbell and the community a “thorough investigation.”
“That resignation, however, does not alleviate our responsibility to Mrs. Campbell and the community for a complete and thorough investigation of this incident,” the statement read. “We want to assure everyone that our internal affairs investigation will continue and that appropriate actions, based on all of the facts, will be taken by the City.”
The police department has gone so far as to ask the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to conduct its own outside investigation. I applaud the department for being transparent, and it actually seems like they want this wrong to be corrected. Could this mean that other officers involved will resign as well?
Check out the video below to decide for yourself.

|sent from: London, UK. destination: Los Angeles, California, USA
It still frustrates me when people insist on propagating the myth that “no one walks in LA”, and “you have to drive to get anywhere”, as though this were an absolute truth that is unique to Southern California. Ask anyone who lives outside of a 10 mile radius of London if they have a car, and how many hours they spend battling traffic. And what of the crowds of people I saw this morning at the bus stop outside the Hollywood and Highland metro station? Clearly they do not drive anywhere. Oh, that’s right, they’re workers, cleaners, labourers, I forgot they count as “nobody”.

Josephine Baker rose from a life of hardship to become the sensual and sensational darling of Art Deco Paris. Born in St Louis, Missouri in 1906, working for an abusive white woman at the age of 8 and dropping out of school to live rough aged 12, her dancing on street corners got her noticed. She moved to New York to take part in the renaissance gripping the neighbourhood of Harlem, and it was not long before she crossed the Atlantic to dance in the French capital. It was at the notorious Folies Bergere that she performed her infamous Danse Sauvage in 1925, wearing the iconic banana skirt that became her trademark.
The French embraced Josephine as their own and she shot to super stardom, for her singing and acting as well as her dancing. Continuing to perform until 1975 (the year she died) she pioneered the elevation of the black performer and was highly involved with the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 60s. The energy, skill and playfulness with which she danced is amazing! Here is a clip of her performing at the Revue des Revues in 1927. There's no sound, but put on an upbeat song in the background - I listened to this - it works!
