ICC Meeting 2018 8 ICC 1 0 MEETING Blue Mountains, NSW Australia 2 5 & 6 September 2018 8 ICC 1 0 MEETING Blue Mountains, NSW Australia 2 5 & 6 September 2018 It gives me great pleasure to confirm that the 2018 ICC Meeting is to INVITATION be held in Australia over two days, 5 & 6 September. This meeting will be held not in a blue zone but in the Blue Mountains – one of New South Wales’ picturesque national parks just two hours from Sydney. My hope is that many of you will be inspired to join us at this meeting to further spearhead an international effort to promote successful ageing. It is an exciting time to be exploring the factors involved in dementia and longevity and I look forward in hope to our collaboration in uncovering the underlying mechanisms of successful brain and body ageing, and possibly ways of prolonging the healthy life span and delaying the onset of the common dementias. Scientia Professor Perminder Sachdev, Conference Convenor Co-Director, Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) Clinical Director, Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) Longevity beyond 100 can no longer be considered exceptional. MEETING This conference will examine this demographic change and its OVERVIEW impact on society. It will ask the questions: can extreme longevity be achieved with good body and brain health? Do we understand why some individuals retain good health until a very late age whereas others succumb to noncommunicable diseases earlier? The focus of the conference will be on brain health and its determinants well into late life, and the centenarian as a living model of this.

    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc November-December 2015 ISSUE 41 ISSN 2203-4366 The Hydro Majestic Hotel The iconic hotel was created by Mark Foy the Sydney businessman, sportsman and playboy, in 1904. The initial complex comprised three earlier buildings: The single storey country retreat of WH Hargraves, son of Edward Hargraves of gold discovery fame. This home had been built in two stages, a Victorian style cottage, followed by a two storey extension which became the Delmonte Hallway. Hargraves land also included 9km of bush walking tracks, available to the public. Foy leased the property in 1902 and purchased it in 1903. The existing hotel called the Belgravia, opened in 1891 by Mr & Mrs Ellis. Cottage owned by local solicitor Alfred Tucker. In 1904 Mark Foy created his hydropathic establishment, opening the facility on 4th July to attract American visitors, advertising cures for nervous, alimentary, respiratory and circulatory ailments, but did not include sufferers of infectious diseases and mental illness. 1 HERITAGE November-December 2015 He believed that the land contained mineral springs, although this was probably in error, as Foy was importing mineral water from Germany. The town was then known as Medlow, and Foy petitioned the NSW Government to change the name to Medlow Bath. Belgravia Hargraves House Tucker cottage Hydro Majestic 1904 - Casino A striking prefabricated casino was brought in from Chicago, and erected between Hargravia and Belgravia with the picture gallery joining the buildings together. The dome was built to Foy’s specifications and dismantled for shipping. Guests enjoyed the magnificent view over the Megalong Valley and a resident Swiss doctor, George Baur, attended to their ailments.
