None of us should be left to fade away

In the UK every 5 minutes someone gets dementia. This disease unleashes a devastating domino effect through families as they watch their loved ones slip away. The loss of mental awareness and emotional connection is the trademark of an illness now responsible for one in six deaths.
The disease had become the biggest health and social care challenge now a days. Up to a quarter of hospital beds at any one time are occupied by dementia patients. Alzheimer is the most common form for almost two-third of cases. Last year’s Apprentice winner Yasmina Sadatan tells about how she come face to face with the disease since her aunt, former NHS consultant Mary Hughes was diagnosed with dementia. Those feelings echo around 820.000 families living with dementia. A third of over 65s will die with some form of dementia. Only 2.5% of the government’s medical research budget is spent on dementia compared to 25% spent on cancer, according to the alzheimer’s research trust. The harsh statistics are that 15% of deaths each year are caused by dementia and that number can only rise.

Reaction:
I did not know that dementia prevented that much. If this disease prevent that much why doesn’t the government give more than 2.5% medical research budget. I think most of the time everybody thinks cancer is a terrible disease. I think because the people who are suffering on cancer they experience a lot of pain themselves and also the relatives. The people who are suffering on dementia don’t feel the pain, the ones who are really suffering are the families because they forgot about them and the beautiful memories.

Phil Woolas ejected from parliament over election slurs

Phill Woolas, the former immigration minister, is ejected from parliament after finding out that he lied about his liberal democrat opponent during the general election. He made false statements about his opponent two high court judges secured and also Woolas claimed the ruling which also triggered a by-election and barred him from standing for three years. Also is said by Elwyn Watkins that Woolas on purpose misled voters in Oldham East in the last days of the election by claiming Watkins, in such a way to stir up religious tensions. After the court saw confidential emails between Woolas’s team they upheld those arguments. These emails proved that Woolas knowingly made false statements about his opponent. The result of this all is that Woolas lost his seat in the commons, is barred for three years and was suspended by the Labour party.

Reaction:
I’ve never heard about a Minister lying about his opponent just to win an election. Off course you see often they withhold information about themselves to get no stories about their past or personal life, because a lot of journalist can make a mountain out of a molehill. But to lie to win an election that makes you just not trustworthy. If they didn’t do anything with that, then the whole parliament would not be reliable in the eyes of the people. So I think they made a good decision about this political issue.

Mark: I'm so glad I came out

The boy band singer Mark Feehily came out two years ago, now he feels better than he ever did. Off course his family and friends knew it already but to come out for all his fans was a big step for him to made. He finds that his life has changed so much, while practically nothing is changed only that everyone knows it. He is now happily in a relationship with his ex-boyband star Kevin McDaid. He is not supposed to get married yet and be such gay like Elthon John, but he thinks it is good that gay couples can have the same legal rights as a straight couple. And he tells there is a new album coming and he wants the all sound back and sing about what you feel, that means so much more.

I found it really funny to read about this boyband, before I listened a lot to their music. But when you are listening you do not hear he is gay. I can not believe that people have trouble with things like that. If you like the music what makes it any different who sings the song. But Mark Feehily feared about that it would influence the fans and that they would abandon him and his bandmates. Well, we did not hear any piffle about that it went not well with Westlife. They are busy with their new album, so we can assume it all is okay and they are all happy too.

Jacko: I don't want to die

Micheal Jackson has come to his 49th year now, and was about to mark his 25th anniversary of his hit album Thriller in the Ebony magazine. Also he does an interview in which he said his dancing times are over. He does not want to die like his hero James Brown on stage. In fact he wants to grow old in the music industry but not as James brown and Jacky Wilson did. He wants to enjoy his hard work what he has been done through the years. He also wants to enjoy being a father, raising up his children, having children stuff like that. The interview went well and the interviewer, and it is funny because when Michael Jackson was 5 he also stood in the Ebony Magazine.

It is very strange you hear so much different things about Michael Jackson. All the stories about that he is in jail because of his relation with little children. And how he had all those operation at his face. But anyway Michael Jackson also is a really good musician, he made a lot of music. I can say al lot off music which did not exist before. Now he is celebrating this 25th anniversary of his hit album Thriller, is not it great? After all those years and still in the market with his music, with all he has done?

Pete Doherty: I feel only shame

Pete Doherty is copped by taking the killer drugs at his home. Much of his fans did not believe this and thought and believed that the film was not recent, which was of last Friday. And it really was a film of last Friday, Pete Doherty admitted this and also he admitted it was him on the film. Now he feels really ashamed about this, and apologizes to the medical staff, fans and well-wishers who have helped and encouraged his progress in fighting his addiction to heroin. Anyway, Pete Doherty is looking to check him self in into a rehab clinic, so he can try to get on with what he had started.

As said Pete Doherty feels ashamed about the whole situation. Is it just because he takes this killer drug or is it because of that he was trying to stop and they get him with still taking the drug? I do not really know why people take drugs? For one try I can understand.. and yes if it feels great you want to take some more. But as I heard it makes you feel better, so you must be very miserable if you are going to search for drugs, are not you? But anyway, only if you are famous people take it serious. Can not we just let the privacy of stars on their own. Do we really want to know all that about them?

Jehovah hubby: I blame doctors

A twenty-two years old Jehovah’s Witness mum dies after refusing a blood transfusion because of her beliefs. Her husband, who thinks the medical staff, has been negligent about the dead of Emma. He blames the hospital where she lost her life. He is convinced he is totally right about it and says: that she would have submitted a transfusion, if her own recycled blood was used. He also asserts that the staff did not know how to operate the machine for that. He is angry and heart-broken.

This is a difficult point in which is a battle between medical things and belief. I always thought about that people who believe in god would accept medical help, I always thought that they would believe that god made the human being and also the human brain. The brain is getting smarter and more stimulated by the years and is now very developed. So why do they not accept that god also made that brain? Or is this a very unrealistic thing to say? I really ask myself often what they think about medical help, do they think it is like drugs in which god has no part in?

Police find a knife

The police, who do researches about the murder of Meredith Kercher, has found a flick knife at the place of the suspect last night. The blade what is been found, was about 8,1/2 cm long, and is found in a search of Raffaele Sollecito’s house. He is the boyfriend of Meredith’s flatmate Amanda Knox. Experts were checking the knife for blood and fingerprints. At the moment there are three people in jail and one of them is Sollecito. They are looking for sufficient evidence to keep the three in jail. Further it is not clear yet.

I think it is good that they try to keep the suspects in jail, so they save a lot of troubles, like run away and things like that. But on the other hand, if they are not the culprit how do they want to forgive people in their environment for not believing in them? And what about all the people who read about hem in the paper, they will always been verified. It is a difficult situation in which the police try to do their best and I think we people have to accept that for a better world.
