International Consumer Electronics Show Recognizes Innovation of Fully-Electric Zero-Turn Mower
November 20, 2013 — The International Consumer Electronics Show has named Cub Cadet’s RZT S ZERO, the world’s first fully-electric zero-turn riding mower with steering wheel control and four-wheel steering technology, as an Innovations Design and Engineering Awards Honoree in the Eco Design & Sustainable Technologies category.
This is the second award of global prestige for the ZERO in 2013. It also received the coveted Breakthrough Award from Hearst Media’s Popular Mechanics in October.
The ZERO is the only fully electric zero-turn rider that is controlled by a steering wheel and patented four-wheel steering technology. This provides incredible maneuverability on all types of terrain and allows for greater straight-line tracking as well as traction and stability on hills. The advantages are immediately apparent with the ZERO’s “no compromise” cutting performance that produces the Cub Cadet Signature Cut that customers have come to expect from the brand.
The product is Cub Cadet’s latest achievement in a history of American-inspired innovation dating back to 1961, as well as an extension of the Consumers Digest Best Buy Award winning line of zero-turn mowers.
“It’s literally what you don’t get with the Cub Cadet ZERO that’s most valuable. The ZERO’s name really says it all … zero gas, zero oil, zero filters, zero belts, zero cumbersome lap bars, zero emissions, zero engine maintenance, zero turf damage, and most remarkably, zero engine noise,” said Jeff Salamon, Cub Cadet’s director of marketing. “To be recognized as an honoree in the International Consumer Electronics Show’s Innovations Design and Engineering awards is awesome. Everyone knows the remarkable technologies that are showcased at CES each year and we are honored to be in such company.”
The Cub Cadet ZERO will be on exhibit at the Digital Experience! in Las Vegas on Monday, January 6, 2014 from 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm at The Mirage Events Center (MEC) at the Mirage Hotel. It is currently available in select markets and will be expanded into new markets for spring 2014.

Audi Air Mass Meter
Audi uses the tag line "Advance through Technology" not only are the Audi's most luxurious but are also the most technologically advanced cars. The air mass meter was developed and later incorporated into the Audi's works to measure the air flowing into the engine; the mass of the air flow then helps decide the exact amount of fuel supplied to the engine. The Audi Air mass meter is placed directly behind the airbox to measure all of the filtered air. Your Audi Air mass meter is a plastic tube with sensors inside and there is a plug with electrical wires attached to it which sends the air mass meter information to your Audi's computer (ECU).
The Audi air mass meter functions in a method similar to oxygen sensor and feeds your Audi's engine computer with correct inputs to guide it on the right delivery and computing of fuel to be supplied to the engine. Air concentration varies as the air expands and contracts in accordance with temperature and pressure. For your car, air density changes as with the running environment, and hence is smart application for your Audi air mass meter.
Each time you drive your Audi the vane or electrical wire inside the Audi air mass meter has air passed over it, though the air comes filtered through the panel filter inside the airbox, there may still be some minute dust particulate or pollen etc. This dirt or pollen can build up with time and reduce the efficiency of your Audi air mass meters, eventually resulting in a defunct Audi air mass meter. A non-functioning Audi air mass meter normally results in a major affect on your Audis power and its mileage.
While after a long run or having a lot of people or cargo in your car if you feel the power is intermittently disappeared and after a while or if you switch the ignition off, the problem would goes off probably your Audi Air mass meter is on its way out. This happens because in an Audi when the Audi air mass meter does not pass out any signal to the ECU, it switches itself to the limp mode (the cars on board computer runs in a mode to minimize any damage to the engine). This limp mode was the cause of the loss of power.
Audi air mass meter like every other part of your Audi is not a part that will last forever, and to an extent you can clean the internal parts, it is however more desirable in the long run if you replace a non working Audi air mass meter.
A replacement Audi mass meter can easily be obtained from any of the several trustworthy websites over the internet. Replacing your Audi air mass meter is a 15 minute job and does not require any specialist tools.
Caution: Before you begin to work on replacing the Audi air mass meter disconnect the battery power to the ECU (cars on board computer) and keep it disconnected for at least 30 minutes allowing the ECU to reset. This ensures that all the old ECU settings are wiped and it starts up again to use the new Audi air mass meter readings.

Instagram. Love it or hate it, there is something strangely addictive about the scroll down through people’s lives. The bird's eye view of carefully curated coffee cups, glamorous holiday pics, the perfectly filtered photos of nights out, mouth-watering dinners, natural wonders, friends, lovers. I’ll admit it, I am a devoted grammer, am not impartial to the odd selfie, and can easily spend (more than) a few minutes tinkering and filtering my shots to 'perfection.'
But these moments captured on Instagram, Facebook, snapchat and whatever wonderful new app is coming our way to allow us to communicate our lives in EVEN more fine detail, only tell part of the story. How many people do you see posting 'the one where I’ve just finished a blazing row with my partner’, 'that dark night where I’m crying my eyes out and feeling utterly alone’ or 'the one where I'm still struggling with that addiction'. Not quite so easy to whack a filter on that one to make it palatable, acceptable, #instagood.
Life is messy. In this, we have a choice. To embrace and accept the original, raw version of our lives or to try and live to maintain the filtered version. For years I did that and it was exhausting. Trying to maintain a facade of perfection when internally I didn't really value or love the true version that lay behind. The more I tried to keep whacking the filter on, the more I actually robbed myself of the opportunity to truly feel, love and grow. I'm definitely still learning and growing in that, but I'm fully convinced that the more I say "no filter" when it comes to God and people, the more I actually move to truly accept myself, flaws and all.
I take a lot of comfort from King David, the only one who God called 'a man after His own heart'. His life was, arguably, a serious of hot messes. After he had committed adultery and then had his mistress' husband murdered (it's worth taking a little minute to actually let that sink in), he pens one of his most gut-honest songs to God, crying ‘create in me a pure heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit in me'. Even in the midst of his brokeness and shame, David invites God into His chaos and asks for His grace and love to transform him. In that moment, all he can offer to God is 'a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent]' (Psalm 51:17 AMP).
How incredible that even this kind of sacrifice is acceptable and welcomed by our God. That His grace extends so much further than any sin we can ever commit, any shortcoming we might feel we have, any weakness we feel cripples us. The love of Father God always enables us to move forwards, to be transformed more into His image and to move 'from glory to glory'. With God, we never have to 'PR' our life or present our best, most beautifully filtered version of ourselves for Him to find us acceptable. He knows us. He accepts us. Period. No filter.
For me, this truth is what has always compelled me to worship. Finding a safe place with God where I can totally be myself and know I will never be rejected, judged, shamed. The fact that I can stand in God’s presence, 100% loved and accepted, not based on my merit or my ability to please Him, but pleasing to Him by the very fact that I’m His daughter who He chose to love before I was even aware of Him…what other response is there but to adore Him and let my guard down?
So, I encourage you all, keep up the instagramming if it makes you happy, and dare to be real with yourself and God, inviting him into the reality of your life and letting yourself be known by Him. Out of that place, life, love and freedom will flow.

OXFORD, Miss. – Deetra Wiley never thought of herself as someone who exercises until she discovered a RebelWell kettlebell and total body resistance workout class.
The University of Mississippi applications analyst and business communication specialist figured she’d try the kettlebell class offered by RebelWell as part of its “New Year New You” program. Wiley swung the cannonball-like object with a handle, which is branded as a modern piece of fitness equipment, and also did squats, lunges and used ropes hanging from the ceiling until she was sore.
“After my first kettlebell-TRX class, I was extremely sore the next few days, but I knew I had to keep going and stay motivated,” Wiley said. “Within the first week, I could see some toning. My body feels great. I have even more energy, and I sleep better through the night.”
In the kettlebell-TRX class, participants are encouraged to get in groups of four or five and move through various exercise stations using the kettlebell or other techniques. Wiley said this reminds her of the importance of teamwork.
“I love being part of a team to accomplish tasks, goals and, in this case, exercise,” she said.
The winners of this year’s “New Year New You” challenge are Pam Barefield, executive assistant to the vice chancellor for student affairs, and John Berns, assistant professor of management. Both were successful in attending the workouts, weighing in and losing the most weight, percentagewise, over the six-week challenge.
RebelWell sponsors several faculty, staff and student fitness classes to give everyone a chance to work out with peers, led by a certified instructor. The classes are $30 per semester for those without a Turner Center membership and free to members.
The slate includes Zumba and Groovin’ and Movin’, cycling, yoga, aqua aerobics and TRX, which is a body-weight suspension training exercise, and a Kettlebell and TRX fusion class.
The programs started with only four classes a year ago, said Andy Karch, a certified instructor and coordinator of fitness for the Department of Campus Recreation. The number has grown to nine offerings.
This spring, 86 faculty and staff members are signed up, 56 of whom aren’t Turner Center members and otherwise wouldn’t have be able to benefit from training there.
Each class has about 20 participants. Their enthusiasm is inspiring, Karch said.
“The group’s consistency, energy and excitement towards the classes is incredible to see,” Karch said. “These classes are highly sought-after by our students due to the commitment, energy and just plain fun that the faculty and staff bring to them.”
The instructors and participants should be commended for helping the classes grow, said Andrea M. Jekabsons, associate director of human resources who works with RebelWell.
“The challenge, ‘New Year, New You!’ really seemed to resonate with our employees, and they continue to be committed to making the classes,” Jekabsons said. “It is rewarding to see how far we have come from no faculty and staff classes, to two held in the Thad Cochran Research Center’s atrium, to a comprehensive schedule of nine options a week at the Turner Center.”
JoAnne Costa, executive assistant to the vice chancellor for finance and administration, has been participating in a variety of classes this semester but finds strength training the most beneficial.
“Walking or other cardio activities are easy enough to do on my own, but strength training is not,” Costa said. “While I am not looking to bulk up, I understand the importance of maintaining muscle mass, and the guidance provided in these classes have been very helpful toward this goal.”
Costa has attended some of the “Sunrise Strengthening and Training” sessions with Ben Fleming, assistant coordinator of strength and conditioning in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics’ Olympic sports area. All the campus fitness instructors have helped her tremendously, Costa said.
“Each class offers a unique physical challenge and the instructors are great at adapting the exercises to accommodate different fitness levels,” she said. “We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated group of student instructors, and it has been a pleasure getting to know them and hearing about their classes and activities.”
Dinorah Sapp, lecturer and professional development coordinator for the Intensive English Program, first enrolled in the fitness classes in spring 2016. She began with Zumba and yoga and is taking the TRX and kettlebell class and an occasional cardio session. They help her “let loose” and decompress during the day, she said.
Sapp is grateful to the university for supporting the programs, and also thankful for the efforts of the Turner Center staff.
“These classes are lifesavers,” Sapp said. “I also wanted to keep my exercise routine and to strengthen my body and spirit. I’ve seen a difference in my physical and mental health.”
Wiley said the classes offer opportunities to meet employees from across campus that she may only speak with over the phone. Putting faces with names and building friendships by persevering through tough workouts is fun, she said.
“The best self-motivation for me was to keep smiling through the hardest activities,” Wiley said. “The participants are awesome and their endurance motivated me as well.”
The biggest obstacle to staying committed is forcing herself to get out of the office and go. Once she enters the gym, she gets excited.
“It’s so easy to get engrossed in work and tell yourself that you can do it another day,” Wiley said. “However, there have been times when I would push myself to go, even though I’d get there later. The way I see it, some exercise is better than none!”

UFC officials recently announced the news via the Houston Chronicle.
Alan Jouban (12-3 MMA) will be looking to extend his current win streak to three in a row when he squares off with Tumenov in Texas. “Brahma” was most recently seen in action at last month’s UFC Fight Night 71 event, where he scored a unanimous decision win over Matt Dwyer. Jouban has gone 3-1 thus far in his UFC career, earning two “performance of the night” bonuses in that time.
Meanwhile, Albert Tumenov (15-2 MMA) will fight for the first time since January’s UFC on FOX 14 event, where he earned a unanimous decision victory over Nicholas Musoke. That victory made it three in a row for “Einstein”, as he had previously scored victories over Matt Dwyer and Anthony Lapsley.
UFC 192 takes place October 3 live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The event is headlined by a light heavyweight title fight featuring champion Daniel Cormier taking on challenger Alexander Gustafsson.

An autism advocate shares the importance of parents immersing themselves in autistic culture.
“Dear Parents, get behind autistic culture!” J.C., Human Rights Advocate.
“The world of autistic culture is a steep learning curve, but very worth it. Especially if it empowers your child to advocate for themselves.” David Gray-Hammond, Facebook group host at Emergent Divergence.
“Autistic culture is so incredibly valuable and necessary to feel like you belong somewhere and other people understand you.” Heather Dimmitt, Recruiter at Ultranauts Inc.
Counting my blessings
I count myself as a fortunate human being because I have the honor of knowing thousands and thousands of individuals on the autism spectrum. I’ve met folks in person and online from all walks of life and from all over the world.
One of my cherished memories occurred at the ANCA World Autism Festival in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, where I shared a beautiful 30 minutes with a nonverbal adult from Japan while watching a documentary. Not one word was spoken aloud, but a vast amount was communicated through body language and touch. She pointed, gestured, grinned, and rested her head on my shoulder. I’ve yet to meet another person with a soul as pure and smile as sweet.
Living in autism
Autism runs in my family. My personal and professional partner David is autistic, as are his three grown children. Between my work, advocacy, and family life, I’m pretty much immersed in autism! My middle son, diagnosed at age five, is thriving. At the age of 22, he is completing a virtual job internship as a content manager. Raising him was one of the hardest jobs of my entire life—and I used to be a middle school teacher, so I know about challenges!
Autistic culture is a resource
Humor aside, today parents of autistic children have access to a valuable resource that I didn’t have. Had I had this resource back then, I believe my parenting struggles (as well as my moments of extreme isolation and hopelessness) would have been significantly decreased. Today, parents and caretakers of autistic children and adults have access to a dynamic pool of individuals who are immersed in and part of the autistic culture.
On my blog, Everyday Autistic, I recently shared an article entitled Moving from a Deficit Medical Model to a Social Model for Humans on the Autism Spectrum: “Autism is no longer only a disorder. Some would argue it’s not a disorder at all. Numbering 1000s and 1000s of individuals on the spectrum, and their supporters, the autistic minority movement itself is evident that autism is part of a culture.”
The autism culture exists and it’s not going anywhere. And that’s good news for anyone wanting to learn more about the lived autistic life or anyone yearning to support a loved one on the autism spectrum. Resources are a click away—anyone can listen to the voices of actual autistic individuals who are as diverse in passions and experience as any other member of the human population.
A diverse powerhouse of information is at your fingertips. You have the ability to tap into the knowledge of thought leaders, advocates, managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, artists, mental health therapists, coaches, doctors, nurses, teachers, accountants, and lawyers.
My good friend and colleague, who is autistic with a medical degree, belongs to a Facebook group with 200 autistic doctors. It is a secret group, unfortunately, as some group members fear the stigma of being “out” as autistic professionals. That’s a valid reason in itself to tap into the autistic culture: to help break the stigma of ASD and the prejudices that arise with mere mention of the word “autism”.
Our autistic culture is filled with young adults, students, and parents of autistic children. The opportunities for learning are limitless. You can find us by searching for #actuallyautistic or #autisticelders on Twitter or going to sites like my personal website: myspectrumsuite.com.
We are out there and come in all shapes and sizes and all temperaments. Some of us are open to conversation, kind and patient. Others, of equal value, are super outspoken and may get rubbed the wrong way if someone misspeaks about autism. Some of us communicate traditionally, and others may need support to get their point across.
Autistic people have a cultural language, which, like any culture, is continually shifting with the passing of time. As an example, according to a survey of thousands by Autistic Not Weird, the majority of adults on the spectrum prefer “autistic” over “with autism”.
The majority, according to my experience, also despise the puzzle piece as a symbol for autism. We don’t see ourselves or our minds as a puzzle to be solved. We don’t think there is a missing piece to our neurology.
In associating with thousands of folks in the past years, I’ve noted that despite some of our extreme challenges in daily life—such as how we function at work, in relationships, or in social gatherings—we don’t see ourselves as flawed or damaged. We have a neurological developmental condition that sets us apart from a societal norm of typical.
In fact, an overriding message I hear from grown autistic individuals is that we aren’t broken and we don’t need fixing. This includes those who do not speak in the typical way and those who have experienced multiple traumas and disappointment. We, as autistic people, in my observations, tend to separate the pain and struggles from our individuality and unique humanness. I encourage everyone to do the same.

As part of our growing cultural language, many professional autistics prefer the term “coexisting” condition, rather than “comorbid” condition—a less deficit-focused/medical approach to language. I learned this myself when my book Everyday Aspergers was being peer-reviewed by a fellow autistic. I now abide by the preference. I am still learning new things about our culture!
Many advocates, autistic and non-autistic alike, are working hard to create a world for your children where autism isn’t automatically viewed as a terrible life sentence. For example, my friend Haley Moss is a well-known autistic lawyer and host of Spectrumly Speaking at differentbrains.org. And I’m right there with these advocates!
When I asked some autistic individuals on social media about what they wanted parents to know about our culture, I received dozens of responses, ranging from “think positive” to “respect us.” One overlaying theme was to ensure caretakers are learning from actual autistic people about autism.
There were also some recurring topics that adult autistics wanted you to know, including: never give up, truly listen to your child, don’t limit your child’s options, maximize on your child’s strengths and don’t underestimate abilities, let your child know they matter and why they matter, don’t force eye contact, don’t try to make them into neurotypical children, understand how sensory sensitivities and sensory overload can affect behavior and ability, know coexisting conditions exist and what they are, and know your child is likely not intentionally being defiant.
Further wisdom was shared such as: “showering is hard for many of us!”, “ensure your child learns to swim”, and “examine the rules of society, question why they matter, and try to find ways that suit the child, rather than society (Shannon Lyons).”
A point was brought to light about how some of us are labeled hypochondriacs because of our extreme sensitivities to the environment and even the sensitivities we feel internally (such as our digestive system). Community members of our culture cautioned about our sensitivity to medicines, anesthesia, foods, and the like.
Elisabeth Wiklander, Cultural Ambassador at the National Autistic Society, shared: “We autistics can experience things so intensely and feel so many things people don’t expect you to feel . . . as a child this had devastating consequences for me and I found it hard to trust adults and hard to trust my safety.”
More than anything, folks advised: find autistic friends and role models.
Many agree to also consider the possibility that, as a biological parent of an autistic child, you might be somewhere on the autism spectrum. My list of autistic traits, which brought thousands across the globe to diagnosis, was created in 2012 to help others find answers and to shatter the stereotypes about ASD. As a cisgender woman, I presented much differently than what was accepted as the norm of autism some eight years ago.
In closing, please note that there is a community waiting for you and your child. Seek us out.

One tip led police to surround and evacuate a Lowe's Home Improvement store on Sunday in the San Fernando Valley, but a search yielded no evidence that Dorner had been there.
Residents remained on edge in suburban Irvine, where the first two killings occurred. Some residents have kept their children at home, others no longer walk their dogs at night.
"If he did come around this corner, what could happen? We're in the crossfire, with the cops right there," said Irvine resident Joe Palacio, who lives down the street from the home of retired police Capt. Randal Quan, who is being protected.
"I do think about where I would put my family," he said. "Would we call 911? Would we hide in the closet?"
Monica Quan and her fiance were found shot dead on Feb. 3 in Irvine. Dorner was named as the suspect on Wednesday.
A federal agent who requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation said officials had determined a call telling Randal Quan that he should have done a better job of protecting his daughter was a prank.
The violence escalated Thursday, when police say Dorner got into a shootout with police in Corona, grazing an LAPD officer's head with a bullet before escaping. Authorities believe Dorner then used a rifle to ambush the two Riverside police officers, killing one and seriously wounding another.
Until Sunday, police had withheld the names of victims, fearing Dorner might target their families. But Riverside police said the officer killed was Michael Crain, 34, an ex-Marine and 11-year department veteran.
Officials decided to proceed with the identification and public memorial despite the possible dangers, Riverside police Chief Sergio Diaz said.
"We're not going to fail our officer and our hero," Diaz said. "We're going to bury him."
In Torrance, a pickup truck was peppered with police bullets during the manhunt, prompting a lawyer for the driver to accuse officers of being reckless.
Surfer Dan Perdue was driving to the beach Thursday when his Honda Ridgeline was stopped by officers guarding the home of a law enforcement official.
After driving away, the Ridgeline was hit by a squad car. It spun around and officers began shooting.
Perdue wasn't wounded, his attorney Robert Sheahen told the Daily Breeze of Torrance (
A police statement said officers took appropriate action as Perdue's truck, which resembled the Nissan Titan of Dorner, was leaving the area.
Late last week, the manhunt focused on Big Bear in the San Bernardino Mountains, where authorities found Dorner's burned-out truck with weapons and camping gear inside.
Authorities searched there for the fifth day on Monday, using helicopters equipped with heat-sensing technology.

Milledgeville put up a fight after falling behind East Dubuque in the third quarter of Tuesday night’s Class 1A boys basketball sectional semifinal in Lanark.
But the Missiles couldn’t complete the comeback, and their historic season came to an end in a 52-47 loss to the Warriors.
Milledgeville (24-6) was down 34-19 at half and trailed by as much as 18 early in the third quarter before working its way back into the game.
“I told the kids at half, ‘We’re either going to get blasted and look stupid in front of all of these people or we’re going to make one heck of a comeback,’” Milledgeville coach Brad Grenoble said. “I thought we worked really hard and made a nice comeback.
"We just couldn’t buy a shot toward the end of the fourth quarter.”
The Missiles couldn’t buy one in the first half either. Their two 1,000-point scorers — Kyle Ottens and Cade Schave — combined for only eight points in the first two quarters. They combined for 60 — with Ottens accounting for 47 — in Milledgeville’s first-ever regional championship victory last week.
“Just everything was short,” Grenonble said, “and I think that’s a little bit of nerves and a lot of it was their defense also. East Dubuque is phenomenal. It seems like every time you’re going to the basket there’s another long arm in your way.”
Millegeville cut the deficit to three in the final minute, but couldn’t get any closer and East Dubuque (29-3) made enough free throws to end the Missiles’ run for the second straight year. The Warriors beat Milledgeville in the regional final last year on their way to a sectional title.
The loss ended the best season ever for the Missiles, who set a school record for wins, along with reaching sectionals for the first time.
“When you sit back and look at it, you’ve got to be happy,” Grenoble said. “I’m not happy with the way we played in the first half, but I’m definitely happy we gave the crowd a good showing there in the fourth quarter and we never gave up.”

A simple five-minute iPad test could spot early signs of dementia and help doctors diagnose the memory-robbing disorder earlier than before.
The NHS is now trialling the exam, which tests the speed and accuracy of a person’s thinking by showing them pictures of animals.
People doing the ‘quick and easy’ test are shown 100 photos and have to decide whether or not there is an animal in the picture.
Some have obvious creatures, while others have hidden animals and half have no animals at all.
If people are slow to respond or incorrectly identify the animals it could be a sign their brain function is reduced – potentially signalling a dementia risk.
The test, which can be done at home in minutes, shows users a fast succession of pictures and requires them to indicate whether or not the image had an animal in it. In the sample pictured, the image on the left has no animal, while the other two have a pig and a marsupial in
The NHS trust for South London and Maudsley is trialling the online test, which was developed by international healthcare tech company Cognetivity.
Benefits of the test are that it can be done at home and may be able to spot signs of brain decline before any symptoms appear that a doctor may notice.
Many people aren’t diagnosed with the condition, which affects around 850,000 people in the UK, until its effects start to appear – by then it is often too late.
Common symptoms include memory problems, difficulty with understanding or communicating, and mood changes.
The Cognetivity test, named the Integrated Cognitive Assessment, tests visual processing to give a patient a score at the end based on their speed and accuracy.
In a test on 448 people, each photo was shown for 100milliseconds before the user had to categorise it as either animal or no-animal.
They indicated this by tapping the left or right of the screen, and were not required to count or identify the creatures. The test could also be done on a computer.
People doing the test were shown an image either containing an animal or not for 100milliseconds (pictured, a sample of the animal images) and then required to categorise the image as animal or non-animal
At the end of the test the user was given a score between 0 and 100 which could be compared with other traditional tests used by doctors (pictured, samples of non-animal images)
Carol Routledge, director of research at Alzheimer’s Research UK, told The Sunday Times: ‘This test, which is at the early stages of development, has the potential to help detect disease before memory and thinking problems have impacted people’s lives.
‘And it’s encouraging to see this technology enter into trials that assess its potential.
‘Sensitive AI techniques provide huge opportunity to improve how we detect the diseases that cause dementia, ensuring an accurate diagnosis for everyone at a time that’s right for them.’
The number of people living with Alzheimer’s could be twice as high as scientists believe, an expert has claimed.
Dr Clifford Jack, an Alzheimer’s researcher at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, said many sufferers have early, symptomless signs of the disease.
Doctors currently only diagnose patients with Alzheimer’s when they show physical signs of the memory-robbing disorder.
But Dr Jack and colleagues found in a study of 2,500 people that twice as many had biological signs of the brain disease than were showing symptoms.
Dr Jack told The Telegraph this month: ‘The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease are all based on… the question “do you have dementia?”‘
He said: ‘Classically defined Alzheimer’s undercounts people who have the pathology but do not have symptoms.
‘A lot more people have the disease but do not have symptoms, just like a lot more people have hypertension than have had a stroke, or a lot more people have diabetes than people who have gone blind.’
But Ms Routledge added the test would need extensive testing before it can be used widely.
Next month, NHS trials are expected to expand into north London, Sussex and Devon – it could be used nationwide as soon as next year.
A study of the effectiveness of the test suggested existing exams could be affected by how clever someone is and whether they’ve done them before.
But the iPad exam could not be fooled in the same way – regular testing on young, intelligent people showed they did not improve their score when they did it every other day for two weeks.
Everyone in the study was over the age of 18 and didn’t have any physical or vision problems which would interfere with their ability to complete the task.
The spot-the-animal test could be used to find signs of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is when a person’s brain doesn’t function as well as it should at their age.
MCI is often a precursor to dementia and is hard to spot because it’s usually not severe enough to interfere with someone’s life or cause noticeable problems.
At the end of the test people are given a score between 0 and 100 which could be compared against other, standard, pen-and-paper tests already used by doctors.
People who return a concerning result on the test may be asked to do it again to check they weren’t distracted or tired, or they could be referred to a doctor.
Developer Sina Habibi, chief executive of Cognetivity, said: ‘Every image is different from the others in terms of its complexity and level of surprise.’
A study of the test’s effectiveness was published in the journal Scientific Reports.

I finally got a visit to Phuket after so many trips in Thailand. Me and my wife’s business partner Chris traveled there to connect with the people that operate the Absolute Resort properties. Absolute has 2 resort locations in Patong alone. We stayed at the Villa Resort location. This is a popular destination where she
sends many Chinese tourists. Frank, the GM there and Chris are friends that go way back in the resort vacation business.Patong Beach is the big tourist area on Phuket. Much like Waikiki, only Thai style. It is full of go-go bars and restaurants, with hundreds of little shops selling the typical tourist things.
Everyday was very hot and the ocean beautiful with clear green water. Patong is a nonstop entertainment venue and without a doubt, the most expensive place in Thailand. Day 2, our host Frank, takes us out on his Absolute Resort speed boat for a tour of the islands. We spent the day swimming and cruising around the beautiful islands. Some 15 or so girls from Absolute, me, Chris, and Frank, spent the day seeing the sights. All in all it was good fun. We were well taken care of and I finally got a good look around the Phuket area.
I could not see any signs of the terrible devastation from the tsunami just 2 years before. I included a pic of the Absolute’s lobby after the tsunami hit. The only evidence I could see now was the Tsunami warning sirens all over the island and emergency evacuation route signs on the streets.
Phuket is a place you should visit when touring Thailand. But as with any major tourist destination, be very careful of petty crime. There is plenty about this area. The best way to get around is to rent a motorcycle and explore the many features of Phuket. This can also be dangerous and you should always pay attention to everything around you while driving. Many people are hurt on bikes everyday. The roads can be sandy, and traffic is on the crazy side. Also don’t forget you drive on the left side of the road here. But if you are up for one, it will cost you about $4.50 a day rental. It is about the best bargin you will find here.
All in all, I found Koh Samui more to my liking as it is not quite so developed as Phuket. And hey, Absolute even has properties there as well! If you go, check out the Absolute property. You can even invest in your own private suite and really live well for a whole lot less. Then you have a good excuse to come to beautiful Thailand every year! Tell Frank Jack sent ya!

A grand townhouse where heritage luxury meets modern perks
Talk of the town: Madonna is thought to live in a 10-bed mansion opposite.
Popular plate: While most hotel restaurants are disappointing affairs, chef Shane Pearson creates hearty, classic fare at remarkably affordable prices that has even attracted the local foodies.
The new kid on the block in the luxury hotel world, The Arch quickly found its following. Located in Marble Arch where virtually every building is a hotel, the Arch feels smaller, cosier and more personal somehow, despite being stretched over seven interconnected Georgian townhouses and two mews homes.
Designed in line with the trend for modern heritage chic, the 82 individually designed guestroooms have kept their classic Georgian features of sash windows, stone fireplaces and ornate cornices, while being brought up to date by contemporary art work, iPod docks and rain showers.
Nice perks include the hundreds of DVDs to borrow, goose-down duvets and a flat screen TV at the end of the bath tub (with waterproof remote, of course).

FMQs: Nicola Sturgeon says A&E waiting times ‘not good enough’ as Tories reveal one patient waited 84 hours
Nicola Sturgeon called the most recent figures for four-hour waiting times in A&E “not good enough” but tempered that by saying it reflects the current pressure across health and social care, which she attributed to the pandemic and a changing population.
At First Minister’s Questions, Douglas Ross and Anas Sarwar grilled Sturgeon on the most recent health figures released by Public Health Scotland that showed only 63.5 per cent of patients were seen within four hours at A&E in the week to 11 September, far below the government’s own target of 95 per cent.
The Scottish Conservative leader pointed out that they were the “worst waiting times on record” and revealed an FOI request which showed a patient in Ayrshire had to wait 84 hours to be seen.
While Sturgeon accepted that this case was “unacceptable”, she called it an “exceptional situation”, adding that poor A&E waiting times “are not unique to Scotland”. She also highlighted the figures are better than the rest of the UK.
Ross responded: “Context might be important for the First Minister and her members behind her, but for the people waiting hours and days for A&E treatment they are hollow words.”
Anas Sarwar pointed out that since the Scottish Government published the NHS catch-up plan in August 2021 the number of Scots on an NHS waiting list has risen from 603,000 to 750,000. He said: “Catch-up surely means waiting times going down, not up.”
Sturgeon was keen to point out that since the government took office, they had added 20,000 more NHS staff.
But Sarwar remained firm telling the First Minister: “People are sick of these excuses.” He also pointed out that life expectancy in Scotland has dropped for the second year in a row.
Sarwar asked: “How long will we have to wait for you and your health secretary to do your jobs?”


OTTAWA — The federal government has urged Mexican officials to conduct a thorough investigation into the death of an Ontario teen in Acapulco.
Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay spoke with his Mexican counterpart late Monday about the Adam DePrisco case.
The 19-year-old from Woodbridge, Ont., was killed outside a nightclub earlier this month.
Mexican authorities say DePrisco was killed by a hit-and-run driver, but his family maintains he was beaten to death.
A preliminary autopsy by Ontario’s chief coroner determined DePrisco’s injuries were consistent with being knocked down.
MacKay spoke with DePrisco’s mother Tuesday and assured her that his department will closely monitor the state of the investigation.
But Carmalita DePrisco told CTV News the brief conversation didn’t answer any of her questions.
“He said he’s going to look into it and there’s police already there investigating, and basically that’s it,” she said.
DePrisco’s funeral will be held in Woodbridge on Thursday — the day he was to return home from his Mexican vacation.

Life Direct • VMLY&R New Zealand
LifeDirect is New Zealand’s leading life insurance aggregation website. For almost ten years, the face of the brand has been their obscure mascot ‘Simon the Sloth’ – a lethargic, animated character who, not surprisingly, had lost relevance. We were tasked with reinvigorating the brand, and driving leads, awareness, and web traffic amongst New Zealanders 25 – 35 years old; a demographic with an ever-increasing responsibility to insure themselves for the benefit of their dependents.
The problem is, they view death as a distant, irrelevant issue. As a real-time demonstration of the unpredictability of life, and the significant benefits of life insurance, we killed Life-Direct’s long-standing mascot, Simon.

A good friend of mine recently donated a test kit of H&N Hornets on the contingency that I do a thorough review. The hornet is H&N’s answer to the Predator Metalmag. Or maybe its the other way around… Anyways, H&N indicates the 16gr pellet delivers energy while simultaneously offering penetration. I’m grateful for the gift as these pellets aren’t cheap, but are they worth the price? Let us find out.
The group size opened up more than expected, but it’s still small enough for government work.
Every group was about this size and for this range, that is above average. Especially interesting, as expanding pellets are not typically expected to be accurate.
This is the tingly moment I’ve been creamily waiting for (too much?). I’ve watched tons of videos on the Polymag and witnessed their devastation. I was expecting to the H&N’s to do the same.
I wanted to see my little clay block vaporize. Then this happened:
Not what I was expecting at 25 yards. The wound channel indicates an energy transfer then a rapid deceleration, but there was no pellet to recover and examine.
So I decided the best way to recover a pellet was to shoot a half gallon milk jug at 100 yards. I wanted that milk jug explode. Then this happened:
Not only did it not explode, every pellet exited completely without leaving any lead fragments. Fairly impressive penetration considering the distance and target composition.
Then I shot the clay block with a towel behind it to arrest the pellet. After a few tries (and passthroughs) I finally recovered one:
Sheared off the head. Also note the bent tip. Every clay block shot indicated the pellet had yawed. The bent tip was the cause of that.
Granted, these tests are not 100% accurate representations of the pellets performance in field settings, but give you an idea what it can do. For any pellet that advertises expansion a top concern is accuracy. With this pellet, in my rifle, using my setup, accuracy is not an issue. Squirrel season opens up in a few days, and I plan on using this pellet for at least one to report its actual terminal effect.
