Deprescribing to Reduce Dementia
— Causal link still elusive, but anticholinergic drugs may be a modifiable dementia risk factor
by Judy George, Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today June 24, 2019
Commonly prescribed drugs for bladder conditions, Parkinson's disease symptoms, and psychiatric illnesses were tied to a higher risk for dementia, a nested case-control study showed.
People older than age 55 who used medication with strong anticholinergic properties daily for 3 years or more had nearly a 50% increased risk of dementia versus those without such history, reported Carol Coupland, PhD, of the University of Nottingham in England, and colleagues in JAMA Internal Medicine.
If the association between anticholinergics and dementia proves to be causal, around 10% of dementia diagnoses could be attributable to anticholinergic drug exposure, Coupland and colleagues noted.
This is not the first analysis to show a link between anticholinergics and dementia: an observational study last year showed that associations between anticholinergic medications and dementia persisted up to 2 decades after exposure.
An estimated 8% to 37% of older adults use anticholinergic drugs for a variety of indications. While a well-known risk with anticholinergics is acute impairment in working memory and attention, no studies have shown that these drugs cause dementia.
However, deprescribing trials may be able to do so, Noll Campbell, PharmD, MS, of the Regenstrief Institute in Indianapolis, and co-authors suggested in an invited commentary. To that end, Campbell recently received a $3.3-million grant from the National Institute on Aging to conduct the first clinical trial to test whether stopping anticholinergic medications can lead to sustained cognitive improvements.
If a causal link is confirmed, switching from an anticholinergic medication to another drug would be a fairly easy intervention for patients with cognitive problems, Campbell and colleagues noted. Trials also could identify when deprescribing should happen and whether the dementia is indeed reversible.
In their case-control analysis, Coupland's team looked at medical records of 58,769 people with a dementia diagnosis from 2004 to 2016 and 225,574 matched controls without a dementia diagnosis. All individuals were age 55 and older and all were registered with physicians in Britain who shared information with QResearch database. The group had an average age of 82 and 63% were women.
The researchers assessed anticholinergic drug exposure through 10 years of prescription data that spanned 1 to 11 years before the index date (the dementia diagnosis date or equivalent in controls). They assessed prescriptions of 56 drugs with strong anticholinergic properties according to the American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria Update Expert Panel and calculated cumulative anticholinergic exposure.
Over 10 years, 56.6% of dementia patients and 51% of controls were prescribed at least one anticholinergic drug, a median of six prescriptions in dementia patients and four in controls -- mainly antidepressant, anti-vertigo, and antimuscarinic drugs to treat overactive bladder.
Dementia risk rose overall for people who used anticholinergic drugs, especially for people who had more than 1,095 total standardized daily doses (equivalent to 3 years of using a single medication daily at the minimum effective dose recommended for older people).
After accounting for other risk factors, anticholinergic antidepressants (OR 1.29), antiparkinson drugs (OR 1.52), antipsychotics (OR 1.70), bladder antimuscarinic drugs (OR 1.65), and epilepsy drugs (OR 1.39) were linked to dementia. Some types of anticholinergic drugs, like antihistamines and gastrointestinal medications, did not show increased dementia risks.
Associations were stronger in dementia cases diagnosed before age 80. Odds ratios were higher for vascular dementia (OR 1.68) than Alzheimer's disease (OR 1.37) -- a novel finding that raises questions about possible mechanisms, Coupland and co-authors observed.
The risks of anticholinergics "should be carefully considered by healthcare professionals alongside the benefits when the drugs are prescribed and alternative treatments should be considered where possible, such as other types of antidepressants or alternative types of treatment for bladder conditions," Coupland said in a statement.
"We found a greater risk for people diagnosed with dementia before the age of 80 which indicates that anticholinergic drugs should be prescribed with caution in middle-aged people, as well as in older people," she added.
The study was limited by its observational nature. Some people may not have taken their prescription medications or the dose prescribed. And some people may have been prescribed anticholinergic drugs for very early symptoms of dementia.
The project was funded by the National Institute for Health Research School for Primary Care Research. Additional funding was provided by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Research Board, University of Nottingham.

The fruitweb scab model was developed as a decision support model for fruit growers. The software simulates the biological processes of ascospore maturation, ascospore discharge and the interaction of the scab fungi with the leaf. The various processes are graphically displayed and provide information on the course of infection and severity of infection.
Critical to the scab management in fruit growing is that a sufficient fungicide coating is present during the germination period of the spores. The more severe the infection the better the coating has to be in order to prevent a scab infection.
The fruitweb user will see the potential of mature ascospores in the model and use it as a decision aid prior to announced rainfall. By including a local weather forecast it´s possible to show the course of infection if an announced rainfall event occurs. Since the fruitweb continuously shows the course of infections, it´s possible to apply contact fungicides directly in the infection window with increased precision. The exact determination of the onset of infection, the use of effective curative fungicides can be better planned and scheduled.
fruitweb Asco: unlike fruitweb Mills this model is a quantitative model. The model calculates the number of released ascospores at each rain event and calculates how many of these spores leads to an infection.
fruitweb Mills: starting from an ascospore release the model calculates the infection curve according to Mills. In this calculation the actual number of released ascospores is not considered.
In the default settings it is set that the fruitweb Asco model appears first. You can use the button "show fruitweb Mills" to switch to the Mills model.
In the lower part of the graphical display, you will find light blue bars directly above the time axis. These indicate leaf wetness periods on the basis of weather data.
The dark blue bars indicate the rainy periods.
The actually incurred rainfall is displayed as small blue bars. Each bar represents the amount of rain in 30 minutes.
The amount of as yet immature ascospores is indicated by the light green area. 100% of ascospores are immature at the beginning of the season. As spores mature and become released in the course of spring, the amount of immature spores decreases. In addition, immature spores on fallen leaves may be lost by substrate decomposition.
Mature ascospores are indicated by the dark green colour directly above the light green area. Mature ascospores are ready for discharge during the next rain. A large amount of mature spores indicates that a serious scab infection is likely to occur during the next rainy period.
The grey curves indicates the Mills infection curves in a range of 0 to 100 % for the first discharged spores of each ascospore release event. This shows whether the ejected ascospores have led to an infection or not.
Discharged ascospores are displayed by yellow bars. Ascospores alighting on apple leaves will begin to germinate. During germination, spores are highly sensitive to contact fungicides. Fungicide treatments during this period are therefore very effective.
The white area represents the amount of living ascospores on the leaf. There are two developements possible. The area increases, because of new ascospore discharges. The area decreases, because the ascopores die or an infection occurs. Therefor the white area represents the amount of ascospore that can be reached by a contact fungicide.
The red line indicates an increasing number of spores at advanced stages of germination, ready to penetrate the leaf surface. These spores do not require free water (leaf wetness) for subsequent stages of their life-cycle. Further, they are no longer sensitive to contact fungicides. Curative fungicides are required in order to fight scab infections at this late stage.
Discharged ascospores are displayed by yellow bars. At the fruitweb Mills model they have the function to set the beginn of the scab period. The number of released Ascospores have no impact on the calculation of the Mills infection curve. This is the task of the fruitweb Asco model.
The Mills infection curve is displayed in grey in the range of 0 to 100 %. The curves start with 0 % when the first ascospores are discharged. The infection curve shows whether the ascospores have led to an infection or not. For the calculation of the infection curve we use the revised Mills table.
Above 100 % the Mills infection curve is displayed in red. The height of the infection curve indicates the severity of a scab infection. ATTENTION: this curve does´t consider the number of ascospores. This is the task of the fruitweb Asco model.
The dashed lines indicate the severity of the infection according to Mills. The division is made in light, medium and heavy.
With the button "Show fruitweb Asco" you can switch to the Asco model.
The fruitweb Asco Model has to be initialized by a starting point. This is done by the so-called Biofix.
The Biofix describes the date on which the first ascospores can be ejected. This can be done by examining the pseudothecia under the microscope or by the shake out method of Kollar.
Alternatively, the Biofix can be determined by the stage of green tip of an early apple variety (Boskoop, Jonagold, Delbarestivalle, Holsteiner Cox).
For the major fruit growing regions the Biofix will be set by us. If you are outside these areas, then please send us the Biofix for your location. By setting "Biofix individual setting" you can overwrite the general Biofix setting.
In the fruitweb Asco scabmodel it is possible to show the fungizide sprayings in the graph. Below the graph you can find the tab "Edit Sprayings". There you can set up various field to establish spraying programs. Beside date, time and fungizide you have to set the duration of the fungizide cover.
If you have set up several fields you can choose the field you want to display here.
There are three possible ways to show the decrease of the fungizide cover.
Efficiency 100%: the fungizide cover has an efficiency of 100% during the whole length of coverage. This is not a realistic way of presentation but it makes it easier to estimate the amount of ascospores that come to an infection after the fungizide cover ends.
Efficiency 75%: in this presentation we start with an efficiency of 98% . The efficiency decreases during the length of coverage linear to 75% . Washing away by rain and the increase of leaf area stay unconsidered.
Calculated Degragation: in this presentation we do not consider the set length of coverage. Instead we calculate the degragation of the fungizide efficiency by considering the rain and the increase of leaf area. The end of the fungizide cover is reached when the calculated efficiency is 75%. This value can be changed in the scab settings (Edit scab settings > Sprayings).
With this button you can show / hide the sprayings in the graph.
The basis for the simulation of apple scab is the recording and transmitting of weather data through a weather station. The fruitweb GmbH offers various weather station types to suit different situations and needs. Some of the stations may also be used for a reliable frost warning. An overview about the different weather stations you can find here.
Here you can test the full functionality of our fruitweb model.

Call Of Duty 2020 May Be A Call Of Duty Cold War Game, Says Rumors
By Hunter Miche May 20, 2020 Share
Rumors have circulated for a while that the 2020 Call of Duty game from Treyarch will be a Call of Duty Cold War game, putting players in an era of history that the franchise has never really explored. At the same time, nothing is confirmed yet so we'll have to wait.
The alleged leak comes from a person named Okami, who had previously been accurate on Call of Duty information before, such as Warzone. He posted a fake box-art mock-up to his Twitter, though of course there's no actual box art yet.
Treyarch's previous work in the Call of Duty franchise, the Black Ops series, had an awkward relationship with the Cold War to begin with. While many levels during the games focused on a number of areas during that time period, such as Vietnam, Angola, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, and more, that was never really the focus.
Instead, the focus was more on Cold War intrigue, specifically as players attempted to hunt the Colombian drug lord Raul Menendez, and before him, the Soviet scientists of Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Steiner, while also dealing with Alex Mason's Soviet-induced brainwashing.
Call of Duty Cold War could bring us into the war side of the Cold War, perhaps putting characters in the Korean War, Vietnam War, and other hotspot conflicts in the various proxy wars fought between NATO and the Soviet Union. This does, of course, also carry the risk of controversy due to many things that happened in that time.
Nothing has actually been revealed about the game, either. For all we know, Treyarch could be distancing itself from anything Black Ops related and make a game that's nothing like the alleged Call of Duty Cold War leak at all.
Since there's no official announcement date yet along with no release date, all that matters at the moment is what Treyarch actually says when they and Activision announce the game, whenever that happens.

Q: SQL Server, Lazy Spool runs endlessly in View but not when I run the query directly I have a long query that feeds a daily Excel report. It stopped working for some reason. The saved view will run endlessly to the point where it crashes the SQL Server. But when I run the query itself (copied and pasted from the ALTER view), it actually runs fine and completes in about 17 seconds.
I've narrowed down the culprit as this Lazy Spool. This is the live query stats running the query directly:

This is the view running:

I stopped it there. It will run endlessly until the Lazy Spool has billions of lines and until it crashes the SQL server.
Not sure how much of the query I can share directly because of employer policies but does anybody have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

A: Your execution plan is not stable.  You might be able to fix it temporarily by updating statistics on any/all of the tables in your view.  In the second screenshot the table is placed on the right side of a join.  Likely the best way to fix this would be to index your tbl_SO table to better support the join condition within the view.
You could also attempt to use OPTION (NO_PERFORMANCE_SPOOL) on your query to see if that fixes your issue.  That hint would have to go outside of your view.
EX: SELECT ... FROM myView WHERE ... OPTION (NO_PERFORMANCE_SPOOL);

A:
But when I run the query itself (copied and pasted from the ALTER
view), it actually runs fine and completes in about 17 seconds.

Have you tried running your view query with OPTION (RECOMPILE)? That's my best guess without the whole plan. It's possible that the view query is caching a bad plan (which would explain things). A view (unindexed) is simply ad-hoc SQL that is stored for repeated use and therefore should create the exact same execution plan. At a birds eye level, the culprit is that you are getting a different execution plan for the view and the view code ran as ad-hoc.
Yes, the lazy spool appears to be a culprit but I suspect it is a symptom of the issue.  With the ad-hoc query you are retrieving 2,393,900 of 2,393,900 rows from your clustered index, the view query is fetching 8,383,512 of 2,393,900 rows, then the lazy spool is then queueing up 15,127,006 rows. This suggests that something dramatically different is happening behind the scenes, and causes me to even suspect that you are not running the exact same code.
This is a little advanced but in the article Nasty Fast PERCENT_RANK I discuss the lazy spools, when they are bad (often they are great)  and how to alter your code to get the same result while avoiding a lazy spool. That might help.

ASA Ohio is excited to announce that State Senator Joe Uecker (R-Miami Township) recently introduced legislation (SB 37) requiring mechanical repair facilities to register with the Motor Vehicle Repair Board.
Last session SB 232, also sponsored by Senator Uecker, was passed by the Senate with overwhelming support and was reported by the House Commerce and Labor Committee before the end of session. SB 37 builds upon this momentum and ASA Ohio hopes to garner enough support this session to have this important legislation enacted.
SB 37 would ensure all automotive repair facilities are operating under the same standards by registering mechanical repair facilities with the Motor Vehicle Repair Board. The board has successfully registered the collision repair industry for over 15 years. For far too long fly by night mechanical repair facilities have been in operation. These entities ignore safety and environmental standards, avoid taxes, and put customers in danger. SB 37 will help ensure that all mechanical repair facilities are compliant with applicable laws, which will promote fair competition and protect Ohioans who entrust us with their vehicles.
As it has for the collision repair industry, the board will serve as a resource for mechanical repair shops that register. The board monitors state and federal laws and can notify shops of changes that will directly impact their businesses. The board also serves as a location where customers can identify service centers that are registered with the State of Ohio, giving them piece of mind that their repair facility is compliant with all state and federal laws.
SB 37 will now be referred to a committee for further consideration. If passed, this legislation will promote fair competition and most importantly will help protect Ohioans from unethical repair facilities. ASA Ohio encourages you to contact your legislator and urge support for SB 37!

Oyster farm now offering sunset cruise with 'bottomless' oysters
by Vera Chinese on October 11th, 2017
Bottomless oysters are one way to make a happy hour (or two).
Peter Stein, who owns an oyster farm in Little Peconic Bay, is now offering two-hour sunset tours and tastings aboard his oyster barge "La Perla." And the best part? Fresh, all-you-can-eat oysters.
Here's how it works: The tour begins along the New Suffolk Waterfront where, on land, Stein shows off some of his farming equipment. Then guests board the boat where they can snack on local hors d'oeuvres as well as all the oysters their bellies can handle.
Participants can learn to shuck their own shellfish, although Stein and his staff will be happy to do it for them.
"I'll shuck as many oysters as you want," he said.
Guests are invited to ask questions and Stein will offer oyster trivia. For instance, all East Coast oysters are of the same genus and species, he explained. The difference in taste comes from how they are grown, the difference in water temperature and what they are fed, among other factors.
The offerings aboard La Perla include Stein's signature Peeko Oysters, bivalves with deep cups and a not-too-briny flavor, he said. The oysters just came to market in September and have been offered on the menu at Claudio's in Greenport.
Stein, an East Marion resident who spent years working in education and ed tech, purchased the bay bottom for his underwater farm in 2016. The 37-foot boat is in part, named in honor of his wife's late grandmother Perla, who died shortly before he launch the venture.
The tours cost $600 to $900 depending on the number of people aboard and can accommodate up to six people. Pickup is also available from certain points on the South Fork, including North Sea Harbor.
Tours will run through fall, weather permitting. Email [email protected] for more information or follow @peekooysters on Instagram.
Vera Chinese has been the editor of northforker.com and northforker magazines since May 2014. Prior to that she spent two and a half years as a staff reporter for the New York Daily News.

If you like to take tylenol and having your head feel like its been picked up and dropped from a thousand foot high bridge and then gnawed on by fire ants, then watch Primer. The most sophisticated Scifi film to be seen by human eyes. The plot could be described as, "Holy crap! What the hell just happened!"
We have two self-employed engineers, and they decide to create somesort of machine (cant really tell yay what it was), however, mistakingly they create a machine that sends objects into the past. At first they can only send small objects such as a watch or an apple into the past, but after futher observation and experimentation, eventually they are able to send something the compacity of two humans into the past. If you cant guess what happens next then.......well, your stupid.
After they send themselves back int time, they do what any one else would do, rearrange bets on March Madness and buy some lottery tickets. Easy way to get rich right? Seems like a good way, but after they encounter problems with the time machine and time travel itself we are thrown into a vast journey of time complextions that blow ones mid to keep up with. You will honestly have to watch this film twice to get it all. maybe more.
Shane Carruth (Director/ Actor/ Writer/ Producer) made this film with only $7000, and it shows. The quality is not as great as the major motion pictures today, but Carruth uses it very wisely. One would think also with the 78 minute running time that the film is too short to be exciting. Let me just say it felt like I went back in time a few moments and the film felt like 2 hours insted of 1 hour and 18 minuites.
Primer is a very ingenious film, and should only be watched if you enjoy ambigous films, in other words, a film that viewers could draw one or more conclusions from after the film is over. Films such as Donnie Darko and The Butterfly Effect are examples of ambigous films. Overall, this is a very smart Scifi and deserves to be recognized as a movie in which only the intelligent will get.

Correction: Tower Investments Acquires State Building for $21 Million
"Correction: Tower Investments Acquires State Building for $21 Million
Tower Investments, Inc. has closed on its purchase of the Philadelphia State Office Building at 1400 Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia, PA for $21 million, or $87.50 per square foot, from the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania.
The 19-story, 300,000-square-foot office building was built in 1958 on almost two acres in the Market Street West submarket. The building features 240,000 square feet of rentable space above grade, and a 208-car parking garage.
Tower Investments has indicated it plans to convert the tower into a mixed-use, retail and residential property.
The property was on the market for 30 days, after which a buyer was selected through a sealed-bid process in the fourth quarter of 2007. The contract and escrow period that followed lasted three years pending the relocation of several Commonwealth agencies to 801 Market Street, as well as the buyer obtaining financing in the amount of $19.6 million. The building previously housed approximately 900 employees from various departments including Conservation and Natural Resources, Education, Insurance, Labor & Industry and Public Welfare.
"The sale of the Philadelphia State Office building not only will save taxpayers a substantial amount of money over the next 20 years, it will also put the property back on the tax rolls for the City of Philadelphia and it will serve as a catalyst for continued economic development for the region," said then-Governor Ed Rendell in a January, 2008 release issued about the sale.

I just have to publicly thank God for the, "angels" He sent my way today. Just before I escaped to warmer climates, I broke the tip out emergency window on my RV. With no other remedy at the time, I stopped by Home Depot and purchased a piece of plexiglass. Unfortunately, they don't offer cutting services (only for lumber,) and only had a few pieces that were close to the size of my window, so I resorted to some good 'ole duct tape. Yep, it was just as tacky as you're imagining!
She took a good chunk of time out of her day to measure my window, cut the glass, round and sand the edges (a service they don't even offer,) and install it for me. She said she just wanted to help me because of the work I do with our Veterans. Amazing!
After she finished, we walked around my rig and noticed antifreeze leaking from beneath. She told me to pop the hood, and as she was inspecting, a gentleman, William, walked up and asked if he could help. They both determined there was a small leak in the radiator. Jen and I went inside to look for a product to stop the leak, but discovered that Lowe's no longer carried it. We returned to my RV, and not only was William still under the hood, but another gentleman, Malachi, was working, as well!
They found the leak and decided that because it was so small, the stop leak product would definitely work. By this time, however, Malachi had already called the local Auto Zone and had gotten the pricing and ordering information for a new radiator, and gave me the number to the mechanic he uses right near the campground where I'm staying.
In the meantime, William had jumped in his car and in a few moments, returned with a bottle of the product I needed to halt the leak. To top it off, he refused payment for the product or his help. I drove away with a working radiator, a new window, thanksgiving in my heart and a love for Kentucky!


Just last week pilot programs were launched at Alain Locke Elementary, a community school in West Philadelphia. PYSC partnered with Episcopal Community Services to bring sports to their existing out-of-school-time enrichment programming for Locke students. Pictured above is the first day of fitness class provided by Philly Girls in Motion . All PYSC members were invited to submit a proposal to provide sports, and the staff at Locke selected three proposals which best suited their students' interests and the space available at the school. We are thrilled to help students at Locke access this high quality programming!
The Anderson Monarchs are a year-round youth development program committed to leadership and character development through sports.They have gained local and national attention for the success of their baseball program, which developed the core of the 2014 Taney Little League team.

Der Nationalpark Victoriafälle (englisch: Victoria Falls National Park) ist ein Nationalpark im Westen von Simbabwe, direkt am Sambesi-Fluss, der die Grenze zu Sambia darstellt.
Der ganzjährig für den Tourismus geöffnete Nationalpark ist 23 km² groß. In diesem kleinen Park gibt es einen Pfad, der am Canyon des Sambesi entlangführt. Auf der simbabwischen Seite findet man sich den Victoriafällen gegenüber, die besonders in der Regenzeit durch ihre Breite und die Wassermassen beeindrucken. An verschiedenen Aussichtspunkten eröffnen sich dem Besucher Ausblicke auf die Fälle und die so entstehenden Regenbögen. Durch das permanente Spritzwasser hat sich direkt gegenüber der Fälle eine dem Regenwald entsprechende Pflanzenwelt herausgebildet, durch die der Wanderpfad führt. Direkt am Park ist der Grenzübergang nach Sambia. Hier befindet sich eine der spektakulärsten Bungee-Jump-Stationen Afrikas, direkt in den Canyon und der Start für viele Rafting-Angebote im Sambesi. In der Trockenzeit ist es möglich, im Victoria-Nationalpark auf der sambischen Seite direkt in den Fällen in einem kleinen Pool zu baden, wenn man einen ortskundigen Führer findet.

Der Ort Victoria Falls ist ein kleiner, für simbabwische Verhältnisse sehr moderner Ort, der als einziger in Simbabwe komplett auf den Tourismus ausgerichtet ist. Grund hierfür sind die vielen Reisegruppen, die in dieser Grenzregion zwischen Sambia, Simbabwe und Botswana Halt machen.

All democratically-elected state leaders, whether they are presidents or prime ministers, have an ambition for reaching their respective position. For some, it is about power and/or aggrandisement; for others, it is about putting their names down in the history books. But for an exceptional few, it is about being uniquely in the right place at the right time and enabling their ideologies and actions to make them stand out from among their peers. President Abraham Lincoln (1860-65) belongs to the last category, and Steven Spielberg's admirable biopic, Lincoln, illustrates why this is the case.
President Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) forcefully telling his cabinet that he intends to proceed with the amendment and that they must help him.
Lincoln revolves round events in America during January 1865. At the time, no-one was certain as to how long the Civil War (1861- April 1865) would continue. The Unionists, led by President Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) and the armies of the north, are in a strong position. But the rebel Confederacy, led by Jefferson Davis and the armies of the south, are not about to surrender either.
The latter's resolve is further stiffened upon hearing that, despite the war raging on, President Lincoln intends to push through Congress the highly contentious Thirteenth Amendment (the abolition of slavery) before the legislature ends its session at the beginning of February. The Confederacy's hatred of black people and their slavery-based economy cannot allow for it. But will their attempts to block the proposed amendment succeed?
Lincoln's storyline is intelligent; yet, slightly lacking in depth and, at 150 minutes, drawn out. Despite being potentially confusing for someone who has no knowledge of the era, the political wranglings going on behind the scenes throughout the film are great to watch because they are amusing and appear realistic. They also indicate that there was more than an element of corruption in American politics in the 1860s. (Then again, does The Ides of March show us that American politics is significantly different today?)
Moreover, the debates on slavery and freedom throughout Lincoln are intellectually stimulating. In the present era, it defies belief to learn that President Lincoln was a 'radical,' even among his key allies, for wanting the abolition of slavery. The Thirteenth Amendment was a measure that America (apparently) wasn't yet ready for in 1865 (almost sixty years after Britain and France had abolished the Slave Trade, and four years after Tsar Alexander II had passed the emancipation of serfdom in Russia).
However, one only has to read Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, to realise that Lincoln fails to illustrate the inherent racism towards black people that existed even among abolitionists. Similarly, the movie says nothing of the four Union states that permitted slavery, which is strange as those four states could have been portrayed as a thorn in President Lincoln's side.
Mary Lincoln (Sally Field) welcoming home her eldest son, Robert (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).
Furthermore, the film only deals seriously with two issues: the amendment and the Civil War. While they understandably dominated Lincoln's presidency, surely there were other matters for the president to consider, such as the annual budget and foreign relations? None of these are ever mentioned, which has the indirect effect of making President Lincoln appear almost two-dimensional.
But to say that the ex-president was anything less than a highly-complex and gifted man serves to undermine him, and Daniel Day-Lewis exemplifies this with a performance of remarkable consistency. He captures the former president's quirkiness, social awkwardness and witty humour fantastically, as well as his indefatigable zeal and reason for his ideals.
Day-Lewis undoubtedly dominates Lincoln, but that does not mean that the supporting cast should be ignored. With the exception of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is average at best and whose role, as the ex-president's son, Robert Lincoln, could easily have been shelved, Sally Field as the ex-president's worrisome and frenzied wife, Mary Lincoln; Tommy Lee Jones as the savvy Republican Congressman, Thaddeus Stevens; David Strathairn as the cautious Secretary of State, William Seward; Jackie Earle Haley as Alexander Stephens, the racist Vice-President of the rebel Confederacy; and even James Spader, as the underhand Mr. Bilbo (no, not Baggins) are all superb.
President Lincoln exploring the aftermath of a battlefield, knowing that his decisions have cost many Americans their lives.
Equally good are the costume and make-up designs, which truly bring the 1860s to life. Likewise, John Williams should be praised for writing a soundtrack that does not sound remotely like Star Wars, Home Alone or Indiana Jones. Indeed, Williams' score here is more subtle in nature. It adds a touching element to Lincoln that makes the movie that bit more poignant when it matters most.
Over-all, Lincoln is a venerable film with clever dialogue, a beautiful set and enchanting acting. The movie might be a little long and simplifies some of the historical issues, but this should not negate that President Lincoln was one of the rare few leaders who have managed, almost single-handedly, to change the course of history. He understood the uniqueness of his epoch and acted upon his conscience, despite knowing the storm it would cause (as well as unknowingly making him pay the ultimate price for it). Lincoln demonstrates all of this wonderfully and shows us why President Abraham Lincoln is rightly regarded as the archetypal president that so many of his successors have tried (and often failed) to emulate.

Great review. You nailed it. Daniel Day Lewis is the one who makes it all work. He is a phenomenal actor and the way he is able to bring Lincoln to life amazes me.

Very impressive. Also very thorough review. Normally I myself don't give star ratings but I'm cool if you do. Great read.

Thanks Jon, much appreciated. Out of interest, how comes you don't give star ratings?
Hard to explain exactly why. One reason why I'm glad I don't is whenever i make my Top 10 list and the possibility I rank one movie higher than one I gave a better star rating. I don't really consider not giving a star-rating or a point-rating to my movies that odd since Variety mag does straightforward reviews.

I started reading it to my son when he was 4 and he enjoyed it and asked some questions but the pages have quite a few words and labels on them so I couldn't keep his interest for very long. So I paused. Now, at 5.5, he definitely understood more, enjoyed it more and asked me to keep reading. I think the perfect age range would be age 5+ (kindergarten and up). My personal opinion.(less)

In other words, I usually do tend to always consider Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever rather more balanced with regard to presenting an acceptable combination of home and public life (and thus also not as overtly and joyously extroverted as What Do People Do All Day?) and yes indeed, that What Do People Do All Day? is in my opinion simply and totally just a bit too constantly into getting up and going, too celebratory and supportive of the so-called modern rat race.
And albeit that even as a child of ten when I was using What Do People Do All Day? to increase my English vocabulary I found the emphasis on especially all work and no play, on modernity or bust so to speak a wee bit uncomfortable and unnatural, now as an older (much more introverted) adult reader revisiting Richard Scarry for the first time since 1976, I actually do consider it quite majorly problematic in and of itself that What Do People Do All Day? really and unfortunately (at least in my opinion) overly focusses on people working, that the book so blatantly and one-sidedly celebrates and supports without any type of criticism whatsoever technology, vehicles, being out and busily with a rather total and overt Protestant work ethic rushing and achieving, while life itself, while quietude, sitting back and thinking, reading, pondering the world, while any kind of activity that seems to be based on reflectiveness and using one's mind feels to and for me at best rather ignored in What Do People Do All Day? as being unimportant or at least rather insignificant to and for one's daily routines and one's work habits (one's modern life).
And yes, even Richard Scarry's signature accompanying illustrations, while they do possess colour and charm, they are equally in What Do People Do All Day? much too frenetically busy for my aesthetic tastes and philosophy and for the most part also just too unapologetically pro modern technology, pro machinery, using vehicles day in and day out with no consideration and promotion of alternatives (and certainly not ever really in any manner presenting any consideration and questions regarding potential issues of pollution, over-consumption and that too many vehicles might strain resources and have the tendency to wreak havoc on the environment and natural ecosystems). ...more

September 2017 - I have a love/hate relationship with Richard Scarry. I love the details, the labels, the explanations of all kinds of things kids are interested in. But ugh, despite some improvements to the illustrations, there are still some super, super sexist stories in here, and I couldn't make it all the way through as a read-aloud - things that were too fundamental to the story to change on the fly.

There is a fair amount of silliness as is typical in Busytown, and of course, anthropomorphic animals, but it seems that most of the professions presented here are fairly accurate. It gives kids a good idea of some of the work that many jobs entail.
The main downside for me is that it's rather dated -- not just in terms of steam shovels and construction procedures, but also gender equality. I'm sure it was probably just a reflection of its time, but the majority of workers shown here are male, with the exception of a few nurses. Women are mostly portrayed as housewives (and in one case, we are told her husband gave her a new dress because she "earned" it by "taking such good care of the house.").
I'm glad Sonlight also includes Things People Do with this one in their curriculum, because that one seems a lot more balanced to me. ...more

His lively, fill-up-the-page artwork and classic sense of humor have endeared him to children for over fifty years.
In this book, Scarry introduces individual citizens of Busytown, then tells short stories about specific projects they are involved in: building a house, mailing a letter, putting out a fire, visiting the hospital, riding a train, growing a crop, lumberjacking and processing wood, building a road, taking an ocean voyage, and making bread. By interweaving these individual stories, he shows how greater social process work together in industrial society. Each story demonstrates the value of work, both for the individuals who perform it and those who enjoy its effects. It's a wonderfully orienting book, helping even very young children understand the interworkings of their society.
This abridged edition is easy to find, but disappointingly, the unabridged version (which includes a stay-at-home mom, policeman, water treatment processes, and electric plant) has become a collector's item. ...more

This fits somewhere between fiction and fact, created to inform children of the different jobs that make up society. Informative and creative. Stories and illustrations are all with animals and centre around an event, a sea voyage, a fire, a visit to hospital. It's dated but relevant still. For EYFS or year 1.

Whew! There's so much in this book, my first impression was 'overwhelming'! I haven't read this with any of my nieces and nephews but something tells me that I'll have to rethink the way I read aloud. Instead of reading every word from beginning to end (which I seldom do anyway), I expect that the amount of time on any one page will depend on what the child finds the most interesting.

There are so many ways in which to utilize this book. Kids can learn about occupations and imagine themselves growing up and becoming a home builder, farmer, or fire fighter. Children can explore the experience of certain life events such as being a patient in a hospital. Readers can also discover how things are made such as paper from lumber. Also, the pictures of Lowly Worm on each page can be used for a game of "Where's Waldo." Additionally, the book can be read in parts with a focus on only one or two places or occupations instead of reading it traditionally from beginning to end. Lastly, children will be introduced to the concept of just how important every job is to a society. With so much important information and so many uses, in addition to its pure entertainment value, this book deserves a top rating. Reviewed 8/9/17 ...more

I love that it actually sort of explains some things fairly well. He has his favorite stories that he asks for but the entire book is well done. So much to look at. I wish Richard Scarry had more like this (we own two others similar to this that are favorites as well).

Meet Nancy: IzzyFit's Client of the Month!
Nancy came to IzzyFit close to a year ago and I have to say, the physical strides she's made have been really cool, which is why she's the February Client of the Month! When we started, Nancy was rehabbing a shoulder and ankle, unable to put any load onto her upper body or do much in terms of hopping/jumping/running. Balance was another struggle for Nancy, who had also recently taken a bad fall. With a lot of care and careful programming between myself and Nancy's other trainer, she is now able to hold a pushup plank on the floor, do some light running and hopping around and, though balance is something that always needs to be worked on, Nancy is MUCH less trepidatious now than she was before. When we get hurt or sick, we tend to protect the body to the point where it can inhibit progress and healing. Other than the physical gains, I am the most proud of Nancy for trusting her body and pushing through some fears she had associated with her prior injuries in order to move forward with her fitness and health. So without further ado: Meet Nancy!
My name is Nancy, I'm 52, mother of 2, reader, gardener, cook, health freak, yin yoga enthusiast, lover of all things NYC.
My initial goals were strength training and balance (I am prone to falling) and weight loss.
How do you think your sessions have helped you?
My sessions have helped with all of the above. What I didn't expect has been the increase in my energy.
What have you enjoyed most about your training?
What I've enjoyed most about my training is being able to feel good as my body has been going through mid-life changes.
Do you have any fitness goals for 2014?
My fitness goals are to keep doing what i'm doing at the gym and add more daily yin yoga for flexibiliity to my routine.
How would you describe your philosophy about exercise and nutrition?
I'm a huge believer in nutrition and nourishing foods. Giving up gluten and most sugar has helped me tremendously with my fitness goals. You can't have exercise without eating right, at least at this stage of the game!
