The development of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia occurs over many years; therefore, chances of developing the disease increases over the age of 65. While age, gender, genetics, and environment contribute to risk, many risk factors are tied to lifestyle factors, such as smoking, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and social isolation. Follow the tips below to better mental health.

  • M.'S Story Jay and Tava Musial, Who Were Living in Michigan at the Time
    M.’s Story Jay and Tava Musial, who were living in Michigan at the time, had planned a family trip for Memorial Day weekend, but not before stopping by their daughter’s pediatrician’s office. Tava had noticed her daughter M. Rhapsody frequently had to go to the bathroom. Assuming she had a urinary tract infection, they hoped to get antibiotics and be on their way. M.’s lab work revealed no signs of bacteria but indicated her blood sugar was extremely high. Five days after her eighth birthday, M. was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The Musials’ weekend getaway quickly rerouted to St. John’s Hospital in Detroit where M. spent a full week learning how to manage diabetes. Shortly after M’s diagnosis, the Musial family relocated to Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. Relocating also meant finding a new endocrinologist for M. It was at that first appointment that Dr. John Caras recommended Diabetes Education at United Regional. Diabetes is a disease that affects the whole family, especially when a child is diagnosed. Diabetes Education also provides a support group for kids and their families. “M. comes to every appointment with a smile on her face and has never let her diabetes hold her back on anything,” said Nicole Benz, Diabetes Nurse Educator at United Regional. Children’s Miracle Network at United Regional provides scholarships for kids with Type 1 Diabetes to go to Camp Sweeney. This three-week camp’s goal is that every child who attends camp will not only learn about his or her condition but will find the inner strength each day to do what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle.

  • “Bo Diddley” and “I'm a Man” (1955)
    “Bo Diddley” and “I’m a Man” (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2011 Essay by Ed Komara (guest post)* Bo Diddley While waiting in Bo Diddley’s house to conduct an interview for the February 12, 1987 issue of “Rolling Stone,” journalist Kurt Loder noticed a poster. “If You Think Rock and Roll Started With Elvis,” it proclaimed, “You Don’t Know Diddley.” This statement seems exaggerated, but upon listening to Diddley’s April 1955 debut 78 on Checker 814, “Bo Diddley” backed with “I’m A Man,” it becomes apt, perhaps even understated. Bo Diddley (1928-2008) described his own place in music history to Loder. “People wouldn’t even bother with no stuff like ‘Bo Diddley’ and ‘I’m A Man’ and stuff like that ten years earlier [circa 1945] or even a year earlier [1954]. Then Leonard and Phil Chess decided to take a chance, and suddenly a whole different scene, a different kind of music, came in. And that was the beginning of rock and roll.” The composer credit for Checker 814 reads “E. McDaniels,” and there begins the tale. Bo Diddley was born Ellas Otha Bates in McComb, Mississippi on December 30, 1928 to a teenage mother and her local boyfriend. He was raised, however, by his maternal first cousin, Gussie McDaniel, to whom he was taken to Chicago, and given her surname McDaniel. He grew up on the South Side of the city, where he learned violin, trombone and, at age 12, the guitar. Before long, he was playing for change on the local streets.

References 17 1 Generation Panel for Latin Script Label Generation Ruleset for the Root Zone 1. General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.

  • 5 Curl-Free Fields and Electrostatic Potential
    5Curl-freefieldsandelectrostaticpotential • Mathematically, we can generate a curl-free vector field E(x, y, z) as ∂V ∂V ∂V E = −( , , ), ∂x ∂y ∂z by taking the gradient of any scalar function V (r)=V (x, y, z).The gradient of V (x, y, z) is defined to be the vector ∂V ∂V ∂V ∇V ≡ ( , , ), ∂x ∂y ∂z pointing in the direction of increasing V ;inabbreviatednotation,curl- free fields E can be indicated as E = −∇V. – Verification: Curl of vector ∇V is xˆ yˆ zˆ ! ∂ ∂ ∂ ! ∇×(∇V )=! ∂x ∂y ∂z ! =ˆx0 − yˆ0 − zˆ0=0. ! ∂V ∂V ∂V ! ! ! ! ∂x ∂y ∂z ! ! ! – If E = −∇V represents! an electrostatic! field,thenV is called the electrostatic potential. ◦ Simple dimensional analysis indicates that units of electro- static potential must be volts (V). 1 – The prescription E = −∇V ,includingtheminussign(optional, but taken by convention in electrostatics), ensures that electro- static field E points from regions of “high potential” to “low po- tential” as illustrated in the next example. Electrostatic fields E point from regions of “high V ” to “low V ” Example 1: Given an electrostatic potential V (x, y, z)=x2 − 6y V 4 in a certain region of space, determine the corresponding electrostatic field E = −∇V in the same region. 2 Solution: The electrostatic field is ∂ ∂ ∂ 0 E = −∇(x2 − 6y)=−( , , )(x2 − 6y)=(−2x, 6, 0) = −xˆ 2x +ˆy6 V/m. ∂x ∂y ∂z !2 Note that this field is directed from regions of high potentialtolowpotential.Alsonote that electric field vectors are perpendicular everywhere to “equipotential” contours. !4 !4 !2 0 2 4 Given an electrostatic potential V (x, y, z),findingthecorrespondingelec- Light colors indicate “high V ” trostatic field E(x, y, z) is a straightforward procedure (taking the negative dark colors “low V ” gradient) as already illustrated in Example 1.

Our heritage comes from Schopenhauer and Freud who told us that the best we can ever hope for is to keep our misery and suering to a mini- mum. I want to suggest today the possibility of a positive human future. Until the possibility that there is more to life than minimizing suering gets on the radar screen, a positive human future is much less likely.
