My husband was diagnosed at 55; he would hallucinate and have conversations with who he was seeing. Last year he turned 64 and was no longer able to walk; his speech was becoming impaired. The doctor prescribed Seroquel. It helped, but not for long. Around January this year we started him on the Neuro x program that was introduced to us by his primary care doctor. The treatment has significantly alleviated his symptoms, outperforming the prescribed medications. Almost all his symptoms are gone, there are no signs of agitation, the hallucinations have totally stopped, and his memory loss has greatly improved. He’s able to speak clearly and walk down the street and back since starting the program; even his sleep patterns are back to normal. We got the neuro x treatment from uinehealthcentre. net. We feel very fortunate to have learned about the Neuro-x program . I am absolutely confident that this program offers a viable solution, and I hope someone finds it helpful.

    It’s not just a good idea to keep your brain healthy, it’s essential.

    Mental decline, along with illnesses like dementia and Alzheimer’s, can creep in as we age, often catching people off guard.

    It’s something many of us worry about, but the good news is that cognitive decline isn’t inevitable. There’s a lot we can do to keep our brains in great shape throughout our lives.

    Fun fact about tigers, I got reminded about when reading the word 'defense'. I saw once a documentary (probably BBC or Arte) that stated, that all tigers have white dots on the back of their black ears. Making their fur-pattern looks like a larger bigger face when you look at a tiger from behind when walking (but also when it's drinking water from the front). This apparently made scientists wonder, if there once was a bigger predator, which causes the tigers' fur to evolve into such pattern, to provide extra protection, when being in vulnerable situations/positions. *EDIT: worst of my spelling/grammar. EDIT2: corrected black dots to white dots, as my memory obviously was a little bit fuzzy on the exact pattern.

    I do this to my cats a lot and they do it back. In my family we call it "the slow blink". Lol. I like to think that this is the reason that the female cat (who was described to us by her previous owner as a bit aggressive and prefers to be alone) purrs so much around me and walks around my legs all the time if she has not conquered my lap. She headbumps me a LOT and she is only annoyed at the male cat. Never us humans.

    According to Harvard, several habits can help maintain healthy brain function, and it all starts with mental stimulation.

    Whether it’s reading, solving puzzles, doing math problems, engaging your mind helps build neurological “plasticity.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Research with both humans and animals has shown that stimulating your brain can help form new connections between nerve cells, and might even encourage the brain to grow new cells. This kind of mental engagement acts like a reserve, giving your brain more strength to cope with potential future losses.

    And it doesn’t always have to feel like studying. Creative tasks that combine mental focus and physical movement, like painting or crafting, are just as effective.

    Speaking of movement, physical activity is just as important for the mind as it is for the body.

    Regular exercise increases the number of tiny blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the part of the brain responsible for thinking. It also supports the growth of new nerve cells and strengthens the connections between them. In short, it helps keep your brain sharp, adaptable, and resilient.

    Plus, exercise has broader benefits: it lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol, balances blood sugar, and reduces stress—all of which support brain health.

    Most to all search and rescue teams do this. And the 9/11 dogs weren't given this because they were only finding deceased victims (they were cadaver dogs, they're trained for deceased persons. There are two different types of search and rescue dogs. Not every dog is a cadaver dog. They have to be trained for it), They were depressed because they weren't finding a lot of victims in general.

    There are more than 2 types of SAR dogs, and certification required for each type, recertification every year. Wilderness: off lead and looking for any humans in their search area, tracking: following a specific scent, and specialties like cadaver, water, evidence, and more. My SAR dog was certified in water, wilderness, and cadaver.

    Nutrition plays a big role, too.

    Diets like the Mediterranean one, rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, olive oil, and plant-based proteins, are associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline and dementia.

    Probably the same as cats.

    Lifestyle habits also matter. Avoiding tobacco entirely and limiting alcohol intake can make a significant difference.

    Smoking isn’t just harmful to the lungs, it thins the cerebral cortex, damages grey matter, and raises the risk of dementia.

    Alcohol, when consumed heavily and over time, can harm brain cells and blood vessels, leading to serious cognitive and behavioral issues.

    The most beautiful story I have ever heard.

    Mental health plays a huge part in all of this.

    Constant stress, poor sleep, anxiety, and exhaustion can take a toll on brain function.

    People dealing with chronic mental strain often perform worse on cognitive tests, not necessarily a sign of future decline, but a reminder that mental wellness and restful sleep are key components of long-term brain health.

    And finally, don’t underestimate the power of connection.

    Building a supportive network of friends and loved ones helps us feel happier, more secure, and less isolated.

    Interestingly, studies have shown that women often have larger and more diverse social circles than men, and while this isn’t the only reason they tend to live longer, it’s likely one of the contributing factors.

    In short, taking care of your brain is a lifelong habit, and it’s never too early or too late to start.

    We should honestly make organ donation an automatic requirement. I don't understand how we can have an organ shortage when people die constantly, anybody who has viable organs should be donated. Otherwise you're just sticking them in the ground to rot, what's the point of making someone else have to die just cuz you don't want to cut up an already dead body?

    It is in several countries. The UK adopted an 'opt-out' system. If you don't officially opt-out, you'll be automatically assumed to be willing to donate. You have to die in a certain way to be a donor though, there are lots of conditions that would exempt you from donating (many types of cancer, for example, would make your organs ineligible).

    Ohio man buys entire street by mistake, surprising neighbors with secret facts about property ownership rights.

    This story is rather interesting when you start really looking into it. Originally the open plot (about 1/2 a city block) was purchased by a developer who built the private drive on it, and then built a number of houses along it. A HOA was supposed to maintain and pay for the taxes on both the street (which is a private drive), and the lot. However when the tax assessor hired an appraiser, there was a miscommunication, and the appraiser only valued the lot... not the street. When the HOA still didn't pay, it went to sheriff's auction. He bought it, thinking he just got the lot... not the street. The issue here that the city has, is his ownership of the street, creates problems for the people who own homes along it, as he has placed gates over the street to restrict access. The city is filing an eminent domain case to force him to sell it, and restore access to the legal homeowners who he's blocking entry to. To note: He owns one lot, and the street. NOT the houses or land.

    That's interesting. There are sites in the UK where part of the roadway is included within the registered ownership extent but the roadway has been adopted as publicly maintainable highway by the local council, so in those instances the highway has to remain open for the public to pass over, and the council has powers to deal with obstructions.

    The 1899 bottle is shaped that way because prior to that, one of the ingredients was alcohol, and it basically was a 'whiskey'. After 1929 they removed the "coke" from the Coke. The odd shape that we recognize today as the "coke bottle" shape came about because it was difficult to counterfeit, and as such made it hard for knock off companies to copy. At that time, the idea of trademarking a recipe (such as coke's own recipe) wasn't yet tested in courts. However trademarking a shape of a bottle... was.

    Sadly, it's one of those things that looks good on paper... but doesn't work in practice. While a bus may carry the same, realistically carpooling and remote working means that what you see in the right side of the picture... is grossly over exaggerated. What's worse, is busses can't always go in the same places, or roads that cars can, due to weight and length restrictions.

    I would be willing to bet that only two or three of them were in country or combat. After the five Sullivan brothers were all killed in one go in 1942 when the USS Juneau light cruiser (which they were stationed on) was sunk, the US military created a rule where no more than three members of the same family (specifically brothers), would be allowed in harm's way.

    This was the movie Saving Private Ryan is all about. I only saw the movie once so I am sketchy on details, but there were 3 or 4 brothers all in the military. Different parts of the military or companies. All the brothers but one were killed,. Private Ryan was the only one left. So the army/military decide to save this one brother so the mother wouldn't lose all her sons. That what was the whole movie was about. Don't know if this was based on a true incident or not.

    Every time I see this photo it makes me wonder what difference it might have made to my family if the Australian army allowed more than 5 sons from one family join. 5 of my great uncles joined, but a sixth was set to join too, when he was informed that was the limit. He was one of a set of twins, number 5 was his twin, and being denied created a rift between them. He ended up losing touch with the whole family for a long time because of it. All five of the ones who did join up survived.

    This breed of horse (the Akhal-Teke) is massively inbred causing a high level of genetic disease and a shortened lifespan. Closed stud books in any type of animal are a recipe for disaster.

    It's not actually hairless... lordy! It has hair, though as foals, sometimes they look like they don't. It's very fine hair because they are a desert breed called Akhal-Teke and the color you see on the foal is called cremello (because the mom is a chestnut dilute)

    The Big Mac had only been introduced seven years prior to this, and wasn't proving as popular as McDonald's had hoped. At this time, the main money maker was the original hamburger, and cheeseburger. The Fish sandwich was actually growing more popular than the Big Mac at this time, especially due to the large number of Catholics on the east cost (the sandwich originated in Cincinnati), as at that time the Catholic church forbade eating meat other than fish on Fridays.

    It was part of a stunt he'd regularly pull with interns to the firm. Invariably, one would ask if anyone had ever jumped from one of the windows after losing a case. Hoy would jump against it and bounce back, after telling the interns that it wasn't possible. No one is exactly sure what happened that day, but it is known that he took a pretty good running start, and had already struck that window once before earlier in the day. It's believed his first hit loosened the frame, and the second hit knocked it free.
