          AGEING, ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIA

story by mark200k!

Dementia to most of us is not an all-new term but still to a significant number of us, this is a new term. To those of us who know dementia, it is probably because we have had or still have our parents, grandparents or even our friends at their mid ages who have this disease.

Dementia is a loss of thinking, remembering and reasoning skills that interfere with a person’s daily life and activities. It is mostly associated with the old and ageing.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dementia is the seventh cause of death worldwide and affects 55 million people worldwide. While Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia responsible for 70% of all dementia cases.

In general, Dementia is a cognitive illness that affects the brain functioning of a person and their whole personality to some extent as well.

 Memory problems are among the first and most initial signs of dementia. Other aspects may include finding it hard to say the right words, vision, spatial issues and impaired reasoning or judgement.

Many times in our lives maybe here in Kenya we have at times said words such as “I don’t want to grow old to the point of being aired out as clothes” Well we simply mean we do not want to grow old to a point we can not handle ourselves and others have to do that for us.

But, remember just because your family has a history of Alzheimer’s does not mean that you will have it as well.  However, it may mean you are more likely to develop it.

A few ways have been put forward toward controlling, delaying or preventing Alzheimer’s.  These have just been started no significant research that puts the matter to rest has come up yet.

Controlling high blood pressure

This is already known to reduce heart diseases and stroke according to the reaches and reports by the States (USA) National Instate on Aging (NIH) it may also be used and natured to the point of assisting in delaying or subsequently preventing Alzheimer’s

Increased physical activities

It is well known that physical activities do assist with brain health and cognitive performance, how well you think and remember. However, it has not yet been directly proven that physical activities do prevent Alzheimer’s but other research supports the fact that physical activities may help reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline.

Cognitive training

These trainings involve structured activities designed to enhance memory, reasoning and speed of processing. This may highly assist in brain functions for long-term purposes.

2023 saw an international gathering in Amsterdam Netherlands (Alzheimer’s Association International Conference) the biggest gathering of Alzheimer’s scientists.

These gatherings saw pharmaceutical companies who said they had come up with a drug that delays the progression of the disease by more than 30%. But this has led to a controversial discussion. Still due to this other scientist suggests that this will not work. As prior similar proposals have come up, but none has been effective.

Regardless of all these, one thing is sure we all need to take care of our minds and brain functioning for our future.

Eddie Redmayne Says 'Willkommen' to Broadway in First Production Photos from Cabaret Revival (Exclusive)

'The Good Nurse' actor is starring as the Emcee alongside Gayle Rankin as the musical's leading lady Sally Bowles

By Sabienna Bowman Published on April 15, 2024 02:30PM EDT

Eddie Redmayne is ready to put on a show in the first photos from Broadway's Cabaret revival!

In PEOPLE's exclusive first look at the famed John Kander and Fred Ebb musical's return to the Great White Way,The Good Nurse actor, 42, suits up at as Kit Kat Klub's mercurial Emcee. With his jaunty green party hat, oversized brown cravat and black gloves, Redmayne is both intriguing and imposing as the fascinating character.

In another snap of the Emcee in action, Redmayne leaps into the air as several members of the cast dance around him during the show's iconic opening number, "Willkommen."

Additional photos from the show shine the spotlight on House of the Dragon actress Gayle Rankin in the role of the vivacious nightclub singer Sally Bowles. In one compelling photo, she seems poised to take the stage with a microphone in hand as she's surrounded by ensemble members during the song, "Mein Herr."

Another picture finds Rankin in a ruffly white dress while holding a prop cigarette as she performs the song "Don’t Tell Mama."

The Cabaret revival is being directed by Rebecca Frecknall, who helmed the West End version, which also starred Redmayne. Previews began April 1 at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City, with the show set to officially open on April 21.

Cabaret has long been a success both on the stage and screen. Based on John Van Druten’s 1951 play I Am a Camera, which in turn was adapted from the 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood, Cabaret first hit Broadway in 1966. It was later turned into the 1972 film of the same name starring Oscar-winner Liza Minnelli.

The musical tells the story of Sally, an ambitious English singer who starts up a relationship with American writer Clifford Bradshaw as he observes the eccentric characters who populate the Kit Kat Klub in Berlin. Set between World War I and World War II, the growing unrest beyond the club's doors is ever-present as the artists within express themselves through song.

It features a score by Kander & Ebb made up of a string of songs that have become musical theatre mainstays, like “Willkommen,” “Don't Tell Mamma,” “Mein Herr,” “Two Ladies,” “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” “Money,” “Maybe This Time” and, of course, “Cabaret.”

Redmayne, who also produces the Broadway revival, has long said that Cabaret “properly ignited” his love for theater, while playing the Emcee in a student production of the musical over 25 years ago.

In an October 2023 statement, he shared, "It now feels completely thrilling and a little surreal to be a part of Rebecca's truly unique vision of Masteroff, Kander, and Ebb's brilliance as it arrives on Broadway, where the piece has such a history."

In addition to Redmayne and Rankin, the rest of the principle cast is rounded out by Ato Blankson-Wood (Clifford), Steven Skybell (Herr) and Tony winner Bebe Neuwirth (Fräulein), as well as Natascia Diaz (Fraulein Kost and Fritzie); and Henry Gottfried (Ernst Ludwig).

The cast also includes, Gabi Campo (Frenchie), Ayla Ciccone-Burton (Helga), Colin Cunliffe (Hans), Loren Lester (Herman/Max), David Merino (Lulu), Julian Ramos (Bobby), MiMi Scardulla (Texas), Paige Smallwood as Rosie, and Marty Lauter (Victor) — also known as Marcia Marcia Marcia of RuPaul's Drag Race fame.

Tickets for Cabaret are on sale now.

5 Tips to Build a Successful SEO Link in 2022

Link building is not accessible; there are no guaranteed ways to build enough links and make search engines more trustworthy. However, backlinks are still essential to any solid search engine optimization campaign (SEO).

Link building is about generating more traffic to your site and encouraging new visitors to stay longer. This post will highlight five ways to increase your link-building efforts. These tips will help both junior as well as experienced SEO professionals who are seeking ways to improve their linking strategies.

Quality Double down

Good content is what users want to share. Although the quality of SEO has diminished, it is still vital. What does it mean to have good content?

It should first be able to address specific user questions. Your content will be in high demand if it solves problems, provides valuable answers, and inspires creativity. It is important to note that only authentic and unique content is worth sharing and publishing. Although there is no original content, you can use existing ideas to add value to your users.

Do not forget to update any materials you've created previously, making them more valuable.

Second, strong content should elicit solid emotions and messages. It won't achieve its purpose if it doesn't motivate action. People are more inclined to choose an emotional range than a straightforward summary of facts. You can win users' hearts if your content is relevant to their interests and addresses their specific needs.

Selective

It is okay to knock on many doors and reach as many people as possible. Quality is the most critical aspect. It is well-known that spammy and low-quality backlinks can hurt your SEO ranking. Make a list of the resources that you want backlinks to.

Tip:

Look at your competition.

Ask to be included in industry-relevant digests or other top-ten articles. This will make you look natural among the other resources in that niche.

Find non-linked mentions on your website and fix them.

It won't be challenging to convince the prospect to link to your website if they know the site.

This interaction can lead to long-term cooperation, which is the best thing about it. What should you do next? Take a look at item 3.

Encourage Long-Term Collaboration

Guest blogging is still one of the best ways to gain backlinks from other resources. A one-off blog post can be less effective than a partnership with trusted sources.

You have a greater chance of getting a higher ranking on other websites and increasing traffic if you only publish selected content. Engaging qualified leads will also be possible. Readers are often wary about featured posts because of their commercial nature, and it appears to be another ad that doesn't merit attention or trust.

You can't guarantee that people will read a blog post or article well researched and relevant because it was posted in a trusted resource within your niche. This is why it's essential to work together over the long term.

Create Visuals

Our attention spans have become shorter. To grab someone's attention, it is essential to communicate clearly. Infographics, for example, can simplify complex ideas and help explain them. Content with great visuals, especially when they go viral, can quickly get a lot of high-quality backlinks without asking for them.

Data analysis makes it easier to identify the interests of specific audiences. This tool is a great way to increase your SEO rankings.

Videos, reports, studies, images, and how-to guides are all examples of visual content. Combining entertainment and education will help you reach your audience faster and grab their attention.

Create Your Brand

Link-building strategies should not be limited to increasing organic traffic. Making your website or brand the first to be thought of when people search for information on a topic is also essential, and this often means that you need to establish your brand within your niche.

It would help to establish productive and ongoing relationships with industry leaders to achieve this goal. Even if brands don't connect with you, they will still reach out to your later. Find potential business partners and contact people in the industry.

Do not forget to engage with your audience. It won't be easy to win their support and love overnight. Users will learn to trust you and get to know each other slowly. You can introduce yourself to your subscribers via email. Provide helpful advice, answer their questions, comment honestly, and don't just promote yourself.

As you build your brand and name, eventually, you will have a large enough audience that they can turn to you for specific topics.

Final Thoughts

SEO is constantly changing, but one thing remains constant: Link building takes time and strategy. There are many tactics you can use along the way. Your campaign's success will depend on many factors, such as your niche, keywords you intend to use, and the competition. These factors can be considered to help you create a successful SEO strategy.

You should set goals and determine how you will measure them. Make your content engaging, fun and valuable. Be authentic and meet the needs of your users. When guests post from other sources, be selective. Finally, you should strive to establish long-term business relationships with websites, not just guest posting.

Link building takes time. However, the above steps can boost your SEO ranking to get qualified leads.

My opinion:

I've read all the reviews, I'm just an Eddie fan blogger, so I absolutely can't give a technical opinion, but I know and know the enormous effort that goes into a show. Critics are critical as they should be, so let's not be influenced by the negative ones. I haven't seen the show in New York and I don't know if I 'll be able to see it, but I saw the one in London which completely enveloped me and immersed me in the 1930s like a vortex. If you go to see the show pls, don't think about the criticism, but listen to your feelings, which are worth much more!

With the Queen pulling, what do you think this will mean for the Harkles? I'm gonna sh*t kittens if they get to come back, and get prominent seats after everything that has happen ( excuse my language cc) it just never stops with them, why can't they just humble themselves and for once shame the devil and behave themselves? I was determined to enjoy the jubilee and them being a background noise.

Hi Malzak,

I am ignoring the Harkle aricles in the papers, so I am having a lovely Harkle-free jubilee so far. :) I am curating it that way on purpose.

I'm not sure what is going to happen tomorrow. MTW and I were trying earlier to get readings on it, and what I got then was a discussion going on at the palace over whether the Harkles should be allowed to attend after their behaviour today. I don't know how that worked out.

I will be shocked if the Harkles are featured prominently in any way at all. All the cards and energy I am getting says the rest of the BRF are thoroughly fed up with them and their antics. I think they are doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes to get more prominence (eg temper tantrums, sulks, whingeing etc), and people are getting fed up with saying No to them.

I have no idea why the Harkles can not behave decently, but they can't, so all you can do is laugh at their antics and focus on the important things, such as Her Majesty and her heirs. In the overall picture, the Harkles are irrelevant.
