New Dietary Salad called : “The Cancer Fighter" said to lower blood pressure, help heart and eliminates wrinkles with rapid cell regeneration qualities.
Magic Cancer fighting, Healthy Heart Salad that can help you lose a pound a day (http://www.lose20lbsin.com)
A special formulated salad may be a new key to health and losing weight. Saneh Boothe, became interested in powerful health implication of organic foods when she started Cornucopia Enterprises (http://www.cornucopia-enterprise.com), a Greenhouse concept to allow food production near urban centers. In the process she noticed how much better she felt when she ate certain fresh vegetables that she had grown, combined with fruits and nuts.
Saneh had completed medical training and hospital work as a radiology technician early in her life, so thus she used her “Medical instincts” and began a system, itemizing the benefits of healthy foods. With her husband Ben Boothe, they created a detailed list of foods that had health benefits and found that the best “delivery vehicle” was a fresh salad that could be prepared easily, was delicious and could be varied. “We found that this combination of fresh, organic foods, delivers powerful concentrations of Vitamin C, D, E, A, B and has restorative elements that are known to lower blood pressure, reduce wrinkles, and even are anti-carcinogens.” So while neither Ben or Saneh are doctors, they have practical and real world experience that might change your life. We always advise that you consult with your personal medical expert or doctor for personal health concerns. But the practical application of nutritious foods is something of broad acceptance of health experts.
In the meantime Ben started a weight reduction program, based upon high concentrations of organic vegetables, fresh fruits and nuts, with vitamins and minerals his Doctor said many overweight people are deficient in. “I lost 40 pounds in 59 days and could see how much better my health and daily life was as this weight peeled off.” So as a practical study, Ben started experimenting with different salad combinations. Ben is a Cancer survivor and all tests have reported absoluely clean, so he gives a special perspective on health, and survival. Saneh used the technical research approach, Ben the practical experience approach. "My cancer experience taught me to use all medical technology available, but many of the nation's experts believe that diet and organic foods are a powerful tool to fight disease, even cancer" said Ben
“We have devised what we call the ‘Cancer Fighter’ or Ben calls it the ‘Magic Salad’ that is a studied combination of foods that have a positive health benefit. We have avoided foods that are known health risks and combined some of the most beneficial organic foods on earth.” said Saneh
“Not only will this salad help your skin, your bowel health, lower your blood pressure, help heart health, but the compounds are potent anticarcinogenics and we think it will help prevent or even help fight cancer.” said Boothe.
“I love steaks and Mexican foods, breads and cheeses but have seen how Ben has lost weight quickly and without painful effort and when his energy level skyrocketed, his memory improved, his attitude became joyful because he felt better, I admitted that he was really on to something that worked” said Saneh T. Boothe. “When we eat this "Magic Cancer Fighting, Healthy Heart" salad, we simply feel better, we don’t get sick, and we lose weight. My skin clears up and has a glow to it. Our personal life is better in so many ways. We want to give this recipe to the world, our gift, and hope you will consider organic foods and even growing your own.” said Saneh.
Now here is more information and details (also see:http://www.bootheglobalperspectives.com) about the recipe and what you should know:
When you see the video you will take a walk through a grocery store with nutrition, health tips, a guide to which foods will 1. Stop Wrinkles 2. Fight Cancer 3. Heal joint pain 4. Fight arthritis 5.

When word got out that Kristen Alyce wanted to start her own business, friends, family and even strangers started dumping trash on her front door.
A giant bag stuffed with shredded paper. Tons of plastic bags and cereal boxes. A box of X-rays.
The budding 20-something entrepreneur couldn't be more grateful.
"It was like Christmas," said the cheerful West Palm Beach resident. "I didn't know what was on the bags, it was like opening a present to see what it was."
The plastic bags, egg cartons, coffee filters and other recyclable material would become tools of the trade for Alyce, a fashion designer and the CEO of Garbage Gone Glam.
Garbage Gone Glam creates trendy dresses for businesses to be used at trade shows, fundraisers, marketing and special events. Its client roster includes the Palm Beach Outlets, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Napleton's West Palm Beach Hyundai dealership, retailers and restaurants.
"The dresses are all one of a kind, handmade by me," said Alyce, 28, a Palm Beach Atlantic University graduate with a degree in Art Education.
Alyce says she was motivated to launch her own company after working as sponsor coordinator at New York Couture Fashion Week, in charge of making sure everything ran smoothly behind the runways.
"I wanted to put art into paper and plastic," she said.
Alyce makes the dresses on the model who's going to wear it, because that gives the dress more life, she said. "They come out stiff when they're made on mannequins," she said, something she learned after trial and error.
On Friday, she made a strapless high-low gown out of pages ripped out of an InStyle fashion magazine. She started at the top, wrapping and taping pages on 24-year-old model Courtney Quinn. A large photo of a smiling Julia Roberts was eventually taped around Quinn's left hip. A full-page ad for a Chanel No. 5 perfume found its way folded at the front of the dress.
Custom dresses for clients start at $2,000. Other non-branded dresses are available on Garbage Gone Glam's website, starting at $500.
Garbage Gone Glam officially launched in October 2012 and is now a five-person operation — Alyce as CEO, Michelle Fink, chief operating officer, a make-up artist and two models.
Beyond creating fashionable dresses, Alyce says Garbage Gone Glam also does marketing campaigns for its clients, including photo shoots and promotional events.
Pam Rada, marketing director for Palm Beach Outlets in West Palm Beach, partnered with Garbage Gone Glam for a charity event where nonprofits promoted their organizations with models walking around the outlets styling dresses that represented the groups.
"Everyone stopped to look at them and admire them," Rada said. "It was a fun, fashionable twist. It was a success."

Back in 2011, high school best friends John Pelant and Micky Alfano had one mission: create music they were proud of. Five years, two albums, and a record deal later, not much has changed. Their band Night Moves released sophomore album Pennied Days on March 25th of this year – a beautiful follow up to their wildly successful 2011 debut Colored Emotions.
It’s easy to get caught up in how these Midwestern boys went from the basements of Minneapolis to signed to Domino Records, but after sitting down and talking to Pelant, it all seems the natural consequence of hard work. Pelant self-identifies as a “fickle musician,” which largely contributed to why Pennied Days took close to three years to perfect.
The fruit of their labor has not gone unnoticed. Produced by John Agnello (Kurt Vile’s Waiting on a Pretty Daze, Sonic Youth’s Rather Ripped) the album’s country psychedelic “space-rock” sound rings true to their classic rock roots, finding inspiration in artists like Neil Young, Tom Stewart, and of course, Bob Seger. Pennied Days is the time capsule of a generation, detailing life’s twists and turns between the ages 23-27 while reminding listeners of the classic rock they grew up with. After touring with big names like Father John Misty, Lord Huron, and Django Django, the band is now out on a West Coast solo tour.
Last night, Night Moves headlined a show at Sidewinder but stopped by Studio 1A yesterday afternoon to give KUTX listeners an early preview. In case you missed it, check out the performance – and a few added bonus tracks – below.

How biomineralization works?
Biomineralization is the process by which mineral crystals are deposited in the matrix of living organisms. This process gives rise to inorganic-based skeletal structures such as bone during development, which is a complex and dynamic organ with both structural and metabolic functions.
What is Biomineralization example?
Biomineralization, biologically controlled mineralization, occurs when crystal morphology, growth, composition, and location is completely controlled by the cellular processes of a specific organism. Examples include the shells of invertebrates, such as molluscs and brachiopods.
What is meant by biomineralization?
Biomineralization is the study of biologically produced materials, such as shells, bone, and teeth, and the processes that lead to the formation of these hierarchically structured organic−inorganic composites.
What is Biomineralization in bacteria?
Biomineralization is a known natural phenomenon associated with a wide range of bacterial species. Bacterial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation by marine isolates was investigated in this study. Three genera of ureolytic bacteria, Sporosarcina sp., Bacillus sp. and Brevundimonas sp.
Is silica a Biomineral?
Although calcium-, silica-, and phosphorus-containing molecules are the most common biominerals, other elements such as iron and zinc form the basis of structural molecules in some organisms.
What is Mineralisation of bone?
This process occurs in a life span of biological organism for the formation of bone, teeth, exoskeletons, egg shells, etc. So, basically bone mineralisation is defined as the process of deposition of minerals on the bone matrix for the development of bone.
What is another name for calcium carbonate?
Calcium carbonate (also known as chalk), mined as calcite, is the most commonly used filler for PVC.
What is the common name of CaCO3?
Calcium Carbonate Formula It is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaCO3. It is a white insoluble powder-like substance which occurs naturally in minerals, chalk, marble, limestone, calcite, shells, pearl, etc.
What is biomineralization?
Biomineralization is the study of processes that lead to the formation of hierarchically structured organic–inorganic materials generated by living organisms, such as shells, bone and teeth.
What are the polymorphs in biomineralization?
The most common polymorphs in biomineralization are calcite (e.g. foraminifera, coccolithophores) and aragonite (e.g. corals ), although metastable vaterite and amorphous calcium carbonate can also be important, either structurally or as intermediate phases in biomineralization.
What is the biomineralization of radiostrontium?
Biomineralization of radiostrontium ( 89 Sr and 90 Sr) via microbial-generated ligands is also a popular research topic. The concentration of 90 Sr in marine environments can be up to 1 PBq (1 × 10 15 Bq), which is mainly released from nuclear fission.
Who is the author of biomineralization from nature to application?
^ a b Sigel, Astrid; Sigel, Helmut; Sigel, Roland K. O. (30 April 2008). Biomineralization: From Nature to Application. ISBN 9780470986318. ^ a b Aparicio, Conrado; Ginebra, Maria Pau (28 September 2015). Biomineralization and Biomaterials: Fundamentals and Applications.

There’s a new girl in the room.
“I’m going to do the first part of the Routeburn track, sleep in a hut, and walk back.”
“O, awesome. I’ve been looking into that.”
“Do you want to come?”
And so it happens that I will set off for the Routeburn track tomorrow, one of New Zealand’s Great Walks. From the Routeburn shelter, we will walk to the Routeburn Falls hut. Hopefully we’ll reach it well in time to do an afternoon hike up to Harris Saddle, the highest point of the tramp. We’ll sleep in the Falls hut, so we can make our way back down on Thursday morning.
I’ve quickly done my washing, prepared some food and bought a rain jacket. I think I am prepared. I’m going to carry my fleece blanket on top of my sleeping bag, just in case the one isn’t enough. We’re at the start of winter, and the hut might not be heated. For me this will be the first experience of a Great Walk. I hope I can walk some of the other Great Walks in full, later on in the year. At least this will be a little taste. Supposedly, it’s het prettiest walk of all, so lets hope the weather is on our side. To be continued…

Part 2 of my Cuban salad series. Fantastic hearty salad with chicken and rice! Great for outdoor parties or picnics. I omitted the toasted sesame seeds, for personal taste. Adapted from Cuba, the cookbook. Recipe invented by Vivian Costa Leal, a Cuban housewife.
With temperature in the high 90’s last week, I searched for some great salads for dinner. This delicious chicken salad is adapted from The Bergdorf Goodman Cookbook. I used a rotisserie chicken found at a local market and I used Israeli couscous instead of fregola.
A very light and refreshing potato salad. The recipe can be easily doubled for summer barbecues. Six lemons seems like an awful lot but it requires that you peel and remove the white pith and then separate it from the membrane. Adapted from Rustic Spanish from Paul Richardson.
Great recipe for barbecues! I served it with grilled burgers but, it would be great with anything grilled. Get the recipe here.

Given how fast our current news cycle moves, it is often difficult to remember a time when comic book movies thrived before the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, if we cast our minds to the early 2000s, we’ll encounter a period in which the superhero film genre was dominated by Blade, Spider-Man, and the X-Men. While Blade had three movies and Spider-Man has had multiple incarnations in film, the X-Men film franchise endured for nearly two decades. (And with the status of The New Mutants constantly changing, it is possible to one day claim that this franchise lasted longer than twenty years.)
However, while the X-Men films started off relatively well, their critical and commercial receptions quickly became a mixed bag. And with 2019’s Dark Phoenix being a commercial and critical failure, it appears that this franchise has gone out on a negative note. As a matter of fact, one of the many reasons pop culture fans supported Disney’s acquisition of Fox was the desire to see the X-Men in the MCU after the characters had been so mishandled in movies for so long. (Afterall, why care about an already powerful company gaining near monopoly status when one just wants to see Wolverine and Doctor Strange team up in a movie.)
With that said, this version of the X-Men in cinema may be over, but they have created an impact on the superhero genre and a unique legacy worthy of study. And to explore these elements, we have recruited some amazing scholars to share their thoughts on the legacy of the X-Men movies.
What does Fox’s X-Men bequeath to future mutants?
20th Century Fox has been producing films with mutant characters from the Marvel’s X-Men for 19 years. Over the course of these 12 films, a number of things have happened: primarily everyone else in the superhero-film-making industry saw how not to make a film. Of course, there were some diamonds among all the charcoals (Deadpool, Logan) but finally the Fox’s franchise is dead, with the last film ironically being Dark Phoenix.
The franchise, much like the Phoenix Force will rise once more from the ashes (The New Mutants will be released in 2020), but what is the most crucial thing we can learn from them?
I think the legacy of Fox’s multiple reiterations of the X-Men is that should mutants reappear on the silver screen, they should be moving on. Both times that the franchise was developed in ended up in the same way, with the same sides and the same roster of characters. But it didn’t have to be this way.
First Class and Guardians of the Galaxy are similar in establishing a new franchise from scratch. By taking comic characters from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, with teeming storylines they managed to successfully reconceive and brand two superhero teams. Because they bought something fresh and novel and making it immensely accessible to everyone, especially people who were not familiar with the hardcore comics canon of the characters featured in these films.
The films were not made to bring comic superheroes to the silver screen, but create movies with superheroes with a meaning and a solid story development. Both Guardians and First Class succeeded by bringing relatively unknown heroes to the modern pop culture audience and reinventing them.
Superhero characters number in the thousands. There are just as many interesting and riveting stories that have been building up over the years. The new X-Men, much like any new superheroes, do not have to be characters the audience knows. Yes, that makes them much more marketable and consumable.
But at the same time, clutching onto what has been successful once means that you are letting everything else slip out of your hand. My expectations about The New Mutants are based on the idea that using characters relatively few people are familiar with will push the film’s creators to move past a worn-out monomyth reiteration and deliver something that will make us see mutants – and even the superhero – in a new light.
Guardians of the Galaxy was a superhero film, but that didn’t hinder it from satirising the genre and some of its conventions. And this is why the audience liked the Guardians; not because they were superheroes.
So, if there is anything that might be suggested, if there is any form of legacy in the mutants that might come, it would be to not use the characters already known and established. Instead, there can be something new with fresh characters. What would be more appropriate for a new start?
University of Dundee
Thanks in part to the decreasing returns of Joel Schumacher’s awful Batman films, the superhero film died in the 1990s. However, through the work done to revise the genre though 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise, director Brian Singer and producers Lauren Shuler Donner and Ralph Winter laid the groundwork for the dominance of the superhero summer blockbuster over the following two decades. In addition to a grounded sci-fi world characteristic of the soon-to-follow Sony Spider-Man, Warner Bros. The Dark Knight, and the Marvel Studios properties, the first X-Men film provided production training for Kevin Feige (the future architect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe). All of this is pretty well known, but it’s important to remember the franchise as more than a kick-start for good things to come from other studios.
From the start, X-Men was centered on a theme more than any other superhero film franchise. Opening with young Erik Lenhnsherr (Magneto) discovering his mutant powers as he enters a concentration camp, the series would consistently deal with issues of the outsider – or in a more theoretically specific term, the Other. Like the comic series, the cast and characters were more often than not white, male, and heterosexual (but its blue characters, like Mystique, Nightcrawler, and the Beast, did explore more interesting aspects of Otherness). Nevertheless, X-Men 2 improved on the first film with its treatment of prejudice and government sanctioned discrimination. Although Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine certainly was muscular, the films featured the superhero as something “other” than a muscular representative of a conservative law and order state. Furthermore, X-Men 2 clearly made mutanthood into a flexible metaphor with a clear reference to sexuality in the question from the parents of Bobby Drake (Iceman): “Have you ever tried not being a mutant?”
When Brian Singer temporarily left for Superman: Returns, the franchise stumbled and that led to an alternative approach with a young Professor Xavier and Eric Lenhnsherr played by other actors in X-Men: First Class (a film politically interesting but overstuffed and too obvious). Regardless, these younger versions would interact with their older versions in the time-travel plot of X-Men: Days of Future Past, and the film would use a somewhat hard(er) sci-fi treatment of time travel to deepen the thematic possibilities of Otherness. Creating a different timeline that fixes an immediate problem but merely forestalls the long-term consequences of prejudice, this plot device provides an explanation for what would become the most interesting parts of the X-Men franchise: inconsistencies / variations within a multiverse. While the two major follow-ups were some of the worst films (recycling characters and superhero tropes), the best X-Men productions were “other” subsequent productions outside of the new canon of Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix (seemingly enabled by the multiverse model of Days of Future Past): Deadpool, Logan, and Legion.
Unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe that has used every expansion to service big event cross-overs, these projects are non-canonical tangents that require some knowledge of the “original” but effectively stand on their own. Departing notably from the first appearance of Wade Wilson in Wolverine: Origins, Deadpool became a potty-mouthed spoof of all Ryan Reynolds’ past superhero roles; more importantly, Deadpool’s “other” sexuality, domestic life, and third-wall-breaking tendencies also introduced sophisticated commentary on superhero and cultural conventions. But since Logan dealt with more firmly established characters, the last appearance of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier is more significant. Bringing the superhero story to an end in a way that works outside Eco’s oneiric climate for superheroes, this film follows old heroes who have lost their power and are making their ways toward their ignoble deaths. With its metatextual dialogue with Shane, the film deconstructs the myth of the American superhero described by Jewett and Lawrence: the justification of angry masculinity and the value of violent heroism. In terms of Other-ness, the story of Logan caring for an enfeebled Professor Xavier and leaving the world to a traumatized, genetically engineered daughter portrays a culture unable to deal with its own radical divisions between Self and Other.
However, the best of the three is the FX series Legion: the story of Professor’s Xavier’s illegitimate son set in a X-Men universe that is not really the universe of the blockbuster films. Helmed by Noah Hawley, Legion seems like a superhero series created by the contrary sensibilities of David Lynch and Wes Anderson. With the power to alter the fabric of his reality, David Haller’s uncertain grip on reality controls the course of the series itself. Keeping the audience unaware of whether story content is “real” in any conventional sense, Legion builds a multiverse model that simultaneously entertains heroism, anti-heroism, and the abject experience of any type of “heroism.” In short, it portrays the Other in ways analogous to Lacan or Zizek who identify the individual and cultural Self as a fiction and reality as something known only through our symptoms. Developed in a self-conscious and meta-critical age, the lasting legacy of Fox’s X-Men is that the future of superheroes and extended universe franchises is best when found on the fringes of narrative itself.

I remember vividly when the first X-Men film came out in the early 2000s. Even though it was unsurprisingly centered around Wolverine, I admit that it was Jean Grey that made the biggest impression on me. She was markedly different from the women I’d seen in superhero films up until then because she was smart, strong, and not in need of rescue. Overall, the X-Men franchise fared better than other superhero films with their (often imperfect) portrayals of women. Most notably, Jean Grey moved the plot forward in significant ways in that first movie such as the time when she located Magneto with the use of Cerebro.
One can only imagine the disappointment I felt when I saw the Dark Phoenix movie which marks the end of this long and cherished superhero franchise. I was excited when the trailer came out. The movie franchise started with the female superheroes as the supporting characters and the last movie would be centered around one. But I was let down by its faux feminism, stereotypical portrayal of feminine emotions, as well as its demeaning portrayal of female friendship. In general, we didn’t see much focus on superhero friendships amongst women in the X-Men franchise despite there being plenty of opportunities to do so in their multiple films over the last twenty years. I was disappointed that the one woman of colour who regularly graced the films (Storm) always remained a tokenized character right down to the end. While much of the film felt rushed and mediocre, it was that final moment between Jean and Raven (Mystique) that did it for me. For just a few seconds I was hopeful that we would see some meaningful connection that could come from two women who both faced trauma, societal rejection, and who visibly struggled with their darker emotions. Instead Raven was killed – or more aptly fridged – because it was her unnecessary death that moved the plot forward to its climax.
I kept thinking throughout the film that Anna Boden could have done this film much more justice if she wrote the script. She’s already developed a formidable one centered on a traumatized woman who is transformed by her contact with a powerful force of energy and is aided by her girlfriend in several crucial moments. Considering the dismal sales Dark Phoenix has raked in compared to Captain Marvel’s $1 billion profit, it’s safe to say that Marvel needs Boden and more women writers / producers than they probably care to admit.
Alas, I’m hoping that my disappointment is not for long. While the Fox X-Men franchise is set to retire, its characters won’t. I was heartened to learn of the recent rumors of Nathalie Emanuel being eyed for the role of Storm, who may make a crossover to the Black Panther films. Finally, Storm may get the portrayal that she deserves. In the meantime, I’ll remember the many good films that the X-Men franchise produced over the years, and perhaps forget their last one.

I will always remember the X-universe for their remarkable willingness to experiment with narrative. The first X-Men launched a genre that demonstrated that superheroes could be intellectually and politically robust, and deserve serious films from serious filmmakers. Idiosyncratic and genre-bending films like Days of Future Past and Logan only cemented this legacy. The surreal nature of shows like Legion or the meta-antics of Deadpool further marked the X-universe a site of narrative and genre diversity, contrasting with the relative homogeneity of the MCU (and the general incompetence of the DCEU). Personally, I am not looking forward to them joining the MCU at all — I feel that that the political valence of the characters will be toned down for the sake of profitability (see Hidden Figures for a window into the watered down fate of these characters). Still, they will be forever enshrined for discussing marginalization in a way that also pushed the boundaries of narrativization. In many ways, this is the greatest manifestation of the potential in comic (or comix) adaptions — working on margins and defying conventions and pushing those same boundaries outward. Even though they recentered the mainstream, and have now been consumed by it, I will forever be grateful to the Marvel’s Merry Band of Mutants for being willing to take risks.
However, moving forward, I hope future filmmakers realize that the Phoenix Saga is unadapatble. The Mutant Massacre on the other hand…

Robin Hugh Gibb, CBE (22 December 1949 – 20 May 2012) was a British singer and songwriter. He is best known as a member of the Bee Gees, co-founded with his twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry. He had another younger brother, Andy Gibb, who was also a very popular solo singer.
Born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the family later moved to Manchester before settling in Brisbane, Australia. Gibb began his career as part of the family trio and when the group found their first success they returned to the United Kingdom where they achieved worldwide fame. In 2004, the Bee Gees received their CBEs from the Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace for their "contribution to music". With record sales estimated in excess of 200 million units, the Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time.
After a career spanning six decades, Gibb last performed on stage in February 2012 supporting injured British servicemen and women at a charity concert at the London Palladium. On 20 May 2012, Gibb died at the age of 62 from colorectal cancer.

Cameron Diaz sipping champagne in the Caribbean sun, Angelina and Brad running barefoot on the beach, and Leonardo DiCaprio crunching on crab claws and diving into the colorful depths of the coral reef – super yachts and celebrities seem to go together in almost perfect fashion. Maybe it’s because the high seas are the perfect escape from prying eyes, because the glitzy coastline is an endless array of starry eyed parties and perfect bliss, or because relaxing in a bubbling Jacuzzi with a bottle of vintage champagne is the only way to spend those gentle hours between movie shoots. For those who love to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, MY Starfire can charter you across the sunlit woven blue and into those divine destinations where the party never stops. If you fancy frolicking in the waves with rock gods and movie stars, then the following spots are simply perfect for finding that Oscar studded crowd.
The French Riviera is world famous for its glittering beaches, its five star restaurants, and its gleaming array of luxury yachts lined up in the most expensive marinas. From the bright lights of the casinos to the annual film festival, this designer spot always proves itself to be a major draw for some of the biggest names in the industry. Super yacht days in Cannes are all about soaking up the cocktails and chintz at the coolest hangouts, riding Jet Ski’s around the glorious coastline, and nibbling your way through an endless array of rich Provençal foods. Dine besides Madonna at the Felix in the Croisette, shimmy beside Jay Z at the achingly cool Baoli nightclub, sip something special with Jude Law at the Mouton Cadet wine bar, and work on your tan next to Ryan Gosling at the infamous Nikki Beach.
When winter creeps in with icy fingers there is nowhere that calls to super yachts quite like the Caribbean. MY Starfire can take you gliding into paradise for long and lingering days spent indulging in onboard spa bliss, fresh seafood suppers, designer shopping, and snorkeling in the shallows. When you want some high class company you will be spoilt for choice with the array of A list names that flock to the fabulous shores of St Barts. Laugh along with Bruce Willis as you dine on caviar and champagne cocktails at the Carl Gustaf Hotel, watch Beyonce strut her stuff at the ultra-hip Nikki Beach Club, wave at the Victoria Secret models who fly to the island every year for their calendar shoot, and if you are lucky enough to be there when the clock strikes midnight head to the legendary Roman Abramovich New Year party.
The ultimate super yacht party destination, this Spanish island is the place to be if you want to dance until dawn, witness killer sunsets, and hang around with the socialites of the century. Spend MY Starfire days being pampered to perfection, waterskiing out in the deep blue waters, and sipping the finest cocktails from the comfort of the aft deck watching those magnificent sunsets bloom. Those who want to mingle with the superstars of the moment will find most of them shining along the marina, hailed as one of the favorite millionaire ports in the seven seas. You can catch Paris Hilton careening around the coast on her Jet Ski, you can relax on the sands with Orlando Bloom, and you can kick back with Lindsey Lohan and pals in the pretty and wild Cipriani restaurant. When the moon rises this is your chance to go and throw down shapes with Jade Jagger and P Diddy at the Privilege Club.
Super yachts, white sands, and effortless blue bliss – there’s something about the easy breezy beauty of Barbados that simply keeps on calling. For those in the know this is where pop star Rhianna came from, it’s also where you can drink your weight in rum cocktails, dive from the swim platform of MY Starfire into the turquoise arms of the big blue, and stay up late counting stars in the sky and falling in love with the good life once more. If you want to indulge in a first class spa experience at the same time as striking up a conversation with Kylie Minogue and Gwyneth Paltrow then the famously quaint Sandy Lane should be calling. Golf lovers can also tee off alongside Tiger Woods who married at this resort in 2004. Aside from Sandy Lane you can also bump into the likes of Robert Plant, the Beckhams, and Hugh Grant sunning and splashing on these dreamy shores.

Mayor G.T. Bynum presented his proposed Fiscal Year 2017 – 2018 budget to the Tulsa City Council in April.
The total proposed budget is $824 million, which includes all city funds, operations and capital funding from the latest tax increases. The general fund, which funds most core services and operations, is funded at $269 million.
“With help from my colleagues on the Tulsa City Council, I believe we have developed an initial budget proposal that will set Tulsa on a new course,” Bynum said.
The city expects a flat growth rate in the general fund for the upcoming fiscal year, but city government will be able to grow and spend more tax revenue due to Vision Tulsa program funding and other factors, Bynum said.
The budget includes three academies of thirty police recruits with 90 new officers to be hired. The budget adds three mowing cycles in the city of Tulsa for a total of eight cycles, representing a 77 percent increase in the level of mowing. It funds a new program for public drunks and addresses the problem of “panhandling.”
It replaces some fire and safety equipment that is over a decade old and will fund a fire academy of 35 firefighters. It may include pay raises for some city employees. The budget adds Sunday bus service for the first time in Tulsa Transit’s history. It funds construction of some new playgrounds throughout the Tulsa Parks system.
In increases the number of employees in street maintenance and traffic engineering.The Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority (TMUA) wants a 4 percent rate increase for water, a 9 percent increase for sewer and a 9 percent increase for stormwater services.
The City Council will review the budget and a vote must be taken before June 22.

Texas rockers Blood of the Sun certainly hit on all those '70s references here on their latest release Burning On the Wings of Desire. Drummer Henry Vasquez currently also sits in the chair for Saint Vitus, and along with keyboard player Dave Gryder, they are joined by vocalist John O'Daniel & guitarist Rusty Burns of classic Southern rockers Point Blank, Mos Generator/Stone Axe/HeavyPink guitarist, vocalist and producer Tony Reed, as well as special guest Scott "Wino" Weinrich. The music here is a fun blast of heavy blues rock sure to please fans of Cactus, Deep Purple, Mountain, Humble Pie, Nazareth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Atomic Rooster, Ted Nugent, and Uriah Heep.
If you love lots of Hammond organ & honky tonk piano alongside your heavy riffs, Burning On the Wings of Desire is going to push all the right buttons for you. "Let It Roll", the title track, and "Can't Stop My Heart" are all '70s styled rockers with that Deep Purple organ/guitar thing going on strong, while "Bring Me Down" is a must for any Southern Rock fan, complete with nasty riffs, sizzling slide guitar, and funky piano. So great to hear O'Daniel & Burns tearing it up again, as Point Blank for me were always one of the most underrated Southern Rock bands of all time. Blistering riffs and rampaging Hammond drive the furious "Rock Your Station", a tune that also features powerful vocals, and "Good Feeling" is a like a late night jam session between Point Blank, Blackfoot, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. "The Snitch" once again packs in those sizzling Blackmore & Lord styled guitar & Hammond exchanges, and Wino lends his whisky soaked vocals to the grueling closer "Good and Evil", a real heavy, bluesy number with some punishing riffs and organ.
All I can say is 'wow'...this is a real surprise to close out 2012, a kick ass slab of '70s inspired hard rock that works on all levels. Let's hope a follow-up is not too far in the distant future.
1. Let It Roll
2. Burning on the Wings of Desire

We’ve had an unusually rainy late winter/early spring and now, on the last day of April, we’re back to grey skies and more rain. But all that water finally seems to be having an impact, as the countryside is now positively glowing with green.
The odd thing is that this spring, for the first time since we’ve lived in the Greater Daglan Area, the hills have seemed unusually barren and brown. Once the leaves drop from the trees each autumn, of course, you can see the surface of the actual hillsides in and around the Céou River valley. In the past, it always seemed to us that the hillsides were covered in green grass and underbrush. But not this year — everything looked quite brown and barren, despite the rain we were getting.
Now that’s changed, as these couple of photos from this morning will show.
This first photo was taken by RFD’s crack Staff Photographer, my wife Jan. It shows the trees around the Céou River, seen from the Pont Neuf, as we returned to Daglan from a shopping trip to Gourdon:
And here’s a photograph that I took on the road heading into Bouzic, the little hamlet just a few kilometres from Daglan. The trees are green, the grass is green (and getting pretty tall), and the wildflowers are blooming, as you can see:
For me, this is all good — especially since green happens to be my favourite colour.

At the time, the UNLV School of Medicine was working through the Liaison Committee on Medical Education’s (LCME’s) preliminary accreditation process with the hopes of starting the admissions process for our charter class in October of 2016.
Fast forward to today and this vision has become a reality. We now have 240 medical students and more than 300 residents and fellows in our graduate medical education programs. Our staff includes more than 150 faculty physicians, hundreds of volunteer/community faculty, and a team of academic, administrative, clinical, and research staff supporting both the School of Medicine and our affiliated clinical practice, UNLV Medicine.
MEDICINE BY THE NUMBERS
African American Health
The death rate for African Americans decreased 25% from 1999 to 2015 primarily for those 65 and over.
African Americans ages 18-49 are 2 times as likely to die from heart disease than whites.
African Americans ages 35-64 years are 50% more likely to have high blood pressure than whites.
Since receiving LCME approval to begin recruiting our charter class, we worked hard to attract a diverse population of students with strong ties to Nevada. Our students continue to demonstrate community activism, leadership, and a dedication to exemplary patient care in addition to all of their academic achievements.
Today, in addition to looking back, we’re looking forward to the future and our school’s very first Match Day on March 19th, when our students learn where they will be completing their graduate medical education. While some of them will inevitably travel to other states to join residency programs that aren’t offered here, we fully expect that many will eventually return to Southern Nevada to practice, since most have families or extremely strong ties to this area.
And then, come summer, it will be time to welcome our fifth cohort of medical students, the Class of 2025!
Additionally, we will be welcoming in approximately 100 new residents and fellows to bolster the ranks of our graduate medical education program.
As you can see, the cycle of life for a medical school is a long process that requires us to keep “an eye on the prize,” which is transforming healthcare in Southern Nevada.
I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter from our early days, as it provides a sense of history about what goes into building a world-class medical school.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
African American/Black History Month is an annual observance in February, recognizing the significant contributions of African Americans in medicine, education, arts, entertainment, law, politics, sciences, sports, and many other fields.
In recognition of Black History Month, the UNLV School of Medicine Office of Diversity and Inclusion invites African American faculty, staff, students, residents, and fellows to submit a photo that celebrates your heritage or culture.
Participant photos (like the example of Jennifer Young) will be included in a slideshow that will be displayed on the flat panels around the medical campus in February.

S and I are not picky eaters, but we have a picky eater in X. I recently began to wonder if his pickiness is indicative of other issues or allergies, but nothing is so pronounced that it warrants further investigation...yet. He has his favorite foods and depending on his mood may or may not (usually not) eat the other foods we put in front of him. He goes through spurts...for a while he got excited about carrots and broccoli, now he won't eat them. I've been able to get him to eat salad (lettuce and dressing) recently, and that's currently the extent of his vegetable eating. The funny thing about all of this is when we ask how he's eating at day care, and they say "He eats everything!". They do recognize that he tends to be picky and depending on the day may want to eat all the bread and apples, but no beef stew, for example, but for the most part, they don't seem to have the same struggle that we have. Dinner time for us generally ends with X not eating much. We give him what we are eating, and I tend to deconstruct the meal so that he isn't overwhelmed by mixing, but more often than not (unless it's spaghetti, mac n' cheese, or cheese pizza), he brings a full plate back to the sink. Sometimes we can encourage him to taste what's on his plate, and occasionally he'll get super excited about it and gobble it up (lamb tikka masala for example). More often than not, he'll take the teeniest bite, make a face, and that's the end of it.
I worry that we aren't doing enough, and I my view is colored by friends who have kids who eat everything that's handed to them vs. friends whose kids have obvious sensory and eating issues. X is neither. So, I suppose that he's the kid who falls under "typical?"
Recently we began feeding Baby Z some rice cereal as he's been inhaling 36oz of formula a day and for the most part barely going 3 hours in between feedings. It's a bit early to start solids, but we'll stick to the bland, easy to digest rice cereal for a few weeks. I watched both videos we took on their first cereal feedings and the difference between the two is stark. The first time that X was fed rice cereal, he wouldn't open his mouth. The first time I fed Baby Z rice cereal, he was curious and willing to eat, playing with it, smiling, and trying to grab hold of the spoon.
There was a hilarious incident one Fall day when X and his cousin found ripe tomatoes still on the vine. They both picked two, sat down on chairs facing each other and bit into tomatoes at the same time. She ate hers with gusto, X spit his bite out. But he tried it! Maybe X will learn from Z?


The Big Yin, who is known for his prodigious swearing, did manage to keep it clean during the formal ceremony with the Prince of Wales.
But the funny man's blue language rolled off his tongue as he stepped into the Palace courtyard to parade his medal afterwards.
Ticking off a photographer who attempted to take the award out of its box, he protested loudly: "Get the f*** away from my medal. F*** off."
He also joked with a fellow Scot who asked for his autograph shouting that he was a "smart arse", as the other guests stood around chatting quietly.
An exuberant Connolly, 61, insisted the honour would not change him.
"Absolutely not. Not a single sausage," he declared. "This will be behind a wee window with all the other mementoes. What exactly do you do with it?"
The Scottish comic, who was kitted out in traditional black top hat and tails, said Charles had commented on his respectful attire.
"He had never seen me so smartly dressed."
"Usually when he sees me I've got breeks on - you know those Scottish corduroy breeks that come to the knee with woolly socks, or I'm in a kilt."
He added: "I normally look like an unemployed window cleaner."
There was no kilt on show today at the Palace with the star revealing: "I only wear it in Scotland."
Connolly joked that while the Queen was not there to deliver his honour, Charles was "wearing his mother's dress".Reuse content

Lana Del Rey has posted new preview clips from her forthcoming album ‘Born To Die’ online – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to listen.
Del Rey, who releases her debut LP on January 30, has made official snippets of her tracks ‘National Anthem’ and ‘This Is What Made Us Girls’ available to listen to online. The album’s title-track will also be released as a single on January 22.
The ‘Video Games’ star also told MTV that she had felt “honoured” to perform on the US television show Saturday Night Live. Del Rey had received criticism from the likes of Juliette Lewis after her appearance on the programme but insisted she was unaffected by negative feedback, stating:
If I have other things to think about, or I’m trying to get things done for somebody else, and I’m not in my own way, then… I’m like, ‘This doesn’t really matter’. Sometimes it seems more important to me than other times, I don’t know.
She went on to add: “Things are cool. They always will be, whether the music goes good or not. Like, I consider being able to sing a luxury, it doesn’t run my life, is not my main focus. I love it, I feel grateful. I’m honoured to be on SNL. I’m happy to be here, but if I didn’t have it, I’d be happy too.”
Last week (January 11), Lana Del Rey admitted that she was still finding it difficult to adjust to being famous. She also recently attracted a notable fan in the form of Prime Minister David Cameron.
The tracklisting of ‘Born To Die’ is as follows:
‘Born To Die’
‘Off To The Races’
‘Diet Mountain Dew’
‘Million Dollar Man’
‘This Is What Makes Us Girls’

Katz still the one to beat
Here's a handicap of potential contenders for the mayor's chair
Now that the conflict-of-interest case against Mayor Sam Katz has been put to rest, Winnipeggers don't have to worry about going to the polls this year.
But it's only 18 months before the city does get a chance to select its mayor; the next general election is set for Oct. 22, 2014.
On Friday, after Katz survived an attempt to have him removed from office over a 2010 decision to spend taxpayer funds at a restaurant he owned at the time, Queen's Bench Justice Brenda Keyser nonetheless rebuked the mayor for exhibiting she called "bad political and ethical behaviour."
Such a statement will serve any Katz opponent well as part of a 2014 election pamphlet or attack ad. But it remains to be seen whether Katz will even run again, never mind who would run against him.
Serious 2014 mayoral candidates do not need to begin getting their ducks in a row until late this year. Here's a handicap of potential contenders for next year's race, as they exist right now:
WINNIPEG'S three-time-elected mayor is a seasoned politician with an excellent grasp of the issues facing the city. He has a tremendous amount of experience in the line of fire, having weathered a particularly ugly 2012 that saw the City of Winnipeg stumble through the Parcel Four water-park fiasco, the fire-paramedic station affair and a messy waste-collection upgrade.
Katz's appeal will also be tarnished by the mere fact he's been in office since 2004, as voters eventually grow weary of almost any incumbent. He also will not be helped by dubious personal decisions such as last week's display of defiance in the face of the near-unprecedented censure from a justice of the Queen's Bench.
In spite of these warts, Katz would be Winnipeg's most qualified mayoral candidate in 2014. While that statement may upset his detractors, there's no denying he will be the candidate to beat if he chooses to seek a fourth term. His decision to do so will depend on the wishes of his family -- as well as the results of any polling that may be conducted on his behalf.
Katz would be most vulnerable against a charismatic, new opponent, especially if that individual is on the centre-right. Essentially, the 2014 edition of Sam Katz faces the largest threat from someone who resembles the candidate he was in 2004.
AS a firm believer in term limits, St. James-Brooklands Coun. Fielding has said he won't seek a third term as a councillor next year. If Katz decides to give up the chain of office, Fielding is a safe bet to enter the mayoral race. If Katz runs again, Fielding likely will retire from council and prepare for a provincial or federal run as a PC or Conservative candidate.
Fielding has proven himself to be a consistent fiscal conservative, a voice of relative calm on city council and a politician with a very good grasp of right and wrong. Although not overly imaginative, he is decent and likable.
His primary weakness would be his association with Katz in a race against any opponent who runs on a pledge to take the city in a different direction.
THE mercurial and shrewd Transcona councillor has made noises in the past about running for mayor and may declare his intention to do so again as a tactical manoeuvre. It is not clear whether Wyatt truly desires to be Winnipeg's mayor.
A gifted orator, Wyatt would be very entertaining as a mayoral candidate. He would also be highly creative. He is the epitome of the high-risk, high-reward candidate.
But he may not be electable, as he would present an ample target for any opponent willing to criticize his shifting alliances on city council over the years.
ST. Boniface Coun. Vandal is more qualified to be mayor now than he was when he ran against Katz and lost in 2004. Vandal now has the experience of working as a member of executive policy committee with leaders as diverse in outlook as Katz and former mayor Glen Murray.
Vandal may be the most careful and considerate member of city council. His lack of dynamism -- he is not a showman like Katz or Wyatt -- is offset by his role as a voice of calm on council.
While Vandal has not ruled out running for mayor next year, he also has not made any overt moves to do so. And he is not likely to engage in any rematch with Katz.
ST. Norbert Coun. Swandel, Winnipeg's former deputy mayor, is a passionate and intelligent politician. He too is a gifted orator and is fearless, to boot -- he's not afraid to take unpopular positions and stick to them.
That quality is also a fault, as Swandel has suffered in the past by coming across as too forceful on a handful of issues. Those stances could be used against him in a mayoral race.
Swandel has not ruled out a run for mayor in 2014 and may be one of the only sitting councillors who would consider taking on Katz. Quitting executive policy committee allowed Swandel to assert some independence.
And in a race against Fielding, Swandel could position himself as more of a centrist, given his Liberal affiliations.
THE rookie Charleswood-Tuxedo councillor has expressed a desire to run for mayor and has attempted to position herself as the most committed fiscal conservative on council. She also took a principled stand in 2012 during her unofficial role of inquisitor during the height of the fire-paramedic station affair.
Havixbeck's inexperience under fire, however, would be a drawback under the harsh glare of a mayoral race. One term on council may not amount to enough seasoning in the public sphere.
On the other hand, she could take a run at Katz without betraying loyalties -- and like Swandel, run against Fielding as somewhat of an outsider.
THE 11-year St. Vital councillor, who retired to make an unsuccessful run as a provincial Tory candidate in 2011, has had mayoral ambitions in the past. He has made little recent mention of any desire to return to city hall, but would have as good a chance as any existing councillor in a wide-open 2014 race.
He would, however, be subject to the same albatross that hangs around Fielding's neck: In a match-up against a charismatic newcomer, Steeves' record of never crossing Katz could come back to haunt him.
IN 2010, the former NDP MP and MLA attracted almost 91,000 votes and 43 per cent of the popular vote in a largely two-way mayoral race against Sam Katz. She was hampered in that race by an unfamiliarity with municipal issues and the absence of any platform other than the statement: "I am not Sam Katz."
If JWL chooses to run again, she would be better prepared. But this far out, it's tough to envision her winning a rematch against Katz, weakened though he may be by more time in office.
In a wide-open race, JWL would be just as vulnerable as any other veteran politician would be to a brand-new, charismatic candidate.
IF anyone in Winnipeg with A) Some sort of public profile; B) High-level administrative, business or political experience; and C) No serious skeletons in their closet chooses to run for mayor in 2014, they would immediately be a contender.
Katz won a landslide in 2004 because he was an outsider with a positive public image. Any charismatic outsider who meets the above criteria would be the front-runner in a wide-open race against veteran politicians next year. They would also stand a chance of knocking off Katz, even though history would not be on their side: Nobody has defeated a mayoral incumbent in Winnipeg since 1956.
The problem is few people who are not politicians can afford to run, either financially or personally. You can't work while you run for mayor and you're not allowed to raise money before the campaign period begins.
That alone is enough to dissuade potential candidates.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper’s Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada’s Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley appears every second Wednesday on Citytv’s Breakfast Television. His work has also appeared on CBC Radio and in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master’s degree in journalism from Ottawa’s Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

GW Softball's Jillian Galich Named A-10 Co-Rookie of the Week
Freshman Had Four Doubles, Nine RBIs in 3-1 Week
April 7, 2014
NEWPORT NEWS, Pa. - George Washington freshman Jillian Galich was named Atlantic 10 Softball Rookie of the Week for games played March 31-April 6, the conference announced on Monday.
Galich, who was also named A-10 Player of the Week by College Sports Madness, batted a team-best .583 (7-for-12) with four doubles and nine RBIs to lead GW to a 3-1 week against Cornell and La Salle. After hitting a two-run double in the opener against the Big Red on Wednesday, she went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a sacrifice fly and four RBIs in the nightcap. The native of Tinley Park., Ill., also went 2-for-3 with a two-run double in the first game against the Explorers.
Riding a five-game hit streak after recording a base hit and an RBI in every game last week, Galich is batting .274 with 20 RBIs this season.
Galich, who shares the award with Massachusetts pitcher Tara Klee, is the third GW freshman to be named A-10 Rookie of the Week this season, as Mary Wiley received the award on March 10 and Megan Linn was recognized on March 17. It marks the first time three different Colonials have won Rookie of the Week in the same season.
Galich and the Colonials return to action on Wednesday when they visit Atlantic 10 newcomer and Revolutionary Rival George Mason for a doubleheader beginning at 4 p.m.

If your loved one is dealing with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, it’s likely that you’ve come across times your loved one didn’t want your help or didn’t want to do something they truly needed to do. As memory loss progresses, this can get worse, so it’s important to try to find other ways to cope and deal with their resistance and refusal. “It's important to not take your loved one's attitude personally,” says Jimmie Fay Griffin, Executive Director at YourLife™ of Tallahassee, a Memory Care Assisted Living community in Tallahassee, Florida. “Many times, they may not understand how they are acting or may be upset that they need assistance in the first place. This can cause them to become angry or agitated, leaving you frustrated or at a loss on how to help them. Understanding why your loved one is refusing to do things like take medication, get assistance when taking a bath or even receive help dining can make it easier to be patient and find new ways to cope with the symptoms of their dementia.”
Why Does My Loved One Refuse Help?
According to Everyday Health, there could be any number of reasons why seniors refuse or resist assistance. Some of the top reasons include:
- The article states it may be difficult for your loved one with memory loss to accept you caring for them after they’ve been able to take care of themselves for so many years. They are used to being able to dress themselves and doing whatever they want to do on their own time, so it can be difficult for them to ask for help or allow you to.
- Timing and changes in routine. When caring for a loved one with dementia, you need to plan for extra time to be taken to complete tasks. Completing a puzzle may take longer, completing daily routines may be more tedious. Be sure to be patient and take it easy. If an activity you planned will take longer than expected, perhaps plan to take two days on it. This can relieve some pressure and reduce the likelihood of them refusing to do the activity. If their routine is going to be interrupted, expect that there may be some kickback.
- Your loved one with dementia may also be depressed, making it more likely they don’t want to do anything, especially care for their hygiene. If you think this is a factor, be sure to contact your loved one’s doctor, as certain antidepressants can help.
- If they are in an area where there is too much noise, light that is too bright or is unfamiliar, they may also be more likely to refuse assistance and care. Try to keep them in a soothing environment to reduce the risk of overstimulation.
How Can I Reduce Resistance and Refusals?
The Everyday Health article also states that there are a few things you might be able to do to help reduce resistance from your loved one while helping you to discover new techniques for helping. Consider some of the following:
- Assess your attitude and mindset. Before responding in a negative way to your loved one, try to take a small break. They may be refusing your help because they truly believe they can do it, and maybe they just need more time. Rushing them can make them feel like you don’t have confidence in them.
- Adjust routines. Try to make things easier for your loved one and plan around their best time of day. If they are notoriously angry at night, make tasks easier for them to follow. Set out their toothbrush, their night clothes and medicines. Allowing them some extra independence can help lighten their mood rather than them refusing your help.
- Consider medications. If nothing helps your loved one’s resistance and refusal for care, contact their doctor. Their medications may be interacting negatively or there may be a medicine that can help to combat these symptoms of memory loss.
- Join a support group. Consider joining a support group to work through your feelings and learn techniques to better help your loved one. Leading memory care communities, such as YourLife™ of Tallahassee, offer monthly support groups for caregivers.
For more information about how to manage resistance and refusals in your loved one’s dementia care, contact the team at YourLife™ of Tallahassee. We would be happy to provide you with proven tips, support and even respite care so you can provide your loved one with the best care possible. Give us a call today at 850-250-5671.
