Rules theh Queen doesnt need to follow

* She doesnt need a passport
* She doesnt need to pay taxes BUT since 1992 she has anyway
* She Doesn't Need to Approve Freedom of Information Requests
* Fortunately for everyone else on the road, the monarch was a truck driver for the military during World War II, and is perfectly capable of taking the wheel.
* She Doesn't Need to Drive the Speed Limit She is driven by teh police therefore exempt
* She's Immune to Prosecution
* She Can Eat Swan She never has and will never
*She Can Own All the Dolphins
Because of a bizarre rule that dates back to the 1300s, the reigning monarch technically owns all the sturgeons, whales and dolphins in the waters around the U.K. The Queen also owns all the swans in the Thames!
...

But does she own THAT Sturgeon?

A century ago, on November 21, 1920, fans came in their thousands from all across Dublin and beyond to stand on the terraces of Croke Park.
It was supposed to be a day where the troubles of a nation could be momentarily forgotten.

Instead, November 21 would become indelibly marked as one of the darkest in Irish history.

Shortly after the ball was thrown in to start the game, ranks of police and soldiers marched on the ground and opened fire on the crowd.

Fourteen civilians died in the massacre, either directly from the gunfire or in the panic of the ensuing crush to escape — including Tipperary corner back Michael Hogan.

The youngest victim, Jerome O'Leary, was 10 years old.

What was the cruelest weapon of war?

1.Heat pressure bomb weapons

Undoubtedly, the heat-pressure bomb weapon may be one of the most powerful weapons that mankind possesses. A heat-pressure bomb is enough to razor a block to the ground. When the hot pressure bomb is detonated, a small explosion is created, and a dust mist of an explosive substance (also called "warm pressure explosive", which is a mixed dust of aluminum, iron, magnesium and potassium chloride) is sprayed in the target area, and the temperature is pressed after 150 microseconds Explosives flooded the air, and the thermocompression bomb was ignited for the second time. Under the action of hot gas, the explosive dust mist quickly caused aluminum and magnesium to burn violently, and a chemical reaction started to take the oxygen in the iron oxide and reduce the iron. Of oxygen, and make the combustion more intense.

Combustion can produce high temperatures above 2000°C and cause partial vacuum: anyone in the target area will be completely evacuated of air in the body and suffocate to death. The high temperature causes the air to expand rapidly to produce a strong shock wave. The shock wave generated by a one ton of thermocompression bomb can break the rubber man at a distance of 100 meters into several sections, and the 5 ton shock wave can reach a radius of 300-500 meters. After computer simulation, a 5-ton thermal bomb can completely destroy an aircraft carrier.

Allied soldiers committing war crimes against German, Italian or Japanese wounded or prisoners?

Execution of Waffen-SS troops in a coal yard in the area of the Dachau concentration camp during its liberation. 29 April 1945 (US Army
Unfortunately there were too many. Many Allied soldiers thought they were accomplishing justice when the opposite was true.

The Dachau liberation reprisals: Upon the liberation of Dachau concentration camp on 29 April 1945, about a dozen guards in the camp were shot by a machine gunner who was guarding them. The gunner was so incensed by what had happened that he decided to execute the guards. Other soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 157th Infantry Regiment, of the US 45th (Thunderbird) Division killed other guards who resisted. In all, about 30 were killed, according to the commanding officer Felix L. Sparks.

“When Allied soldiers liberated Dachau, they were variously shocked, horrified, disturbed, and angered at finding the massed corpses of internees, and by the combativeness of some of the remaining guards “

Later, Colonel Howard Buechner wrote that more than 500 were killed.

Inventions during times of crisis

1

Second plague pandemic: printing press
The second plague pandemic began in 1346 with the Black Death, which claimed 200 million lives in Eurasia and Africa. Surviving members of the lower classes became better off as a result and an unprecedented number of people were able to afford books. The outbreak also massively reduced the population of monks who could transcribe manuscripts by hand, which resulted in a surplus of rags, making paper cheaper, and led to the creation of oil-based inks. These factors fuelled the development of the printing press, which was invented around 1440.

2

Napoleonic Wars: ambulance
One of the first truly global conflicts, the Napoleonic Wars were fought across all inhabited continents. A slew of innovations came about as a consequence of the hostilities, which raged from 1793 to 1815. They include the world's first ambulances. The horse-drawn vehicles were the brainchild of leading French surgeon Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, who also introduced triage and the mobile army surgical hospital (MASH).

World War I: zip
World War I sparked a number of remarkable innovations. Although the zip fastener was first conceived during the 19th century, the technology wasn't fine-tuned or widely adopted until the global conflict when it was used for flight jackets and money belts worn by US sailors, who lacked pockets in their uniforms.

Before starring in "Green Acres," he joined the Navy, volunteered to serve in the Pacific, and saved more than 40 Marines at the invasion of Tarawa . . .
Born on April 22, 1906, in Rock Island, Illinois, Edward Albert Heimberger became one of the most beloved actors in American history. Twice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, he was most well known for his role in the TV show "Green Acres.”
But before his famed acting career, Heimberger - who would later change his name to Eddie Albert after constantly being referred to as Eddie Hamburger, quit Hollywood, joined the Navy, and although given the chance to stay stateside making films or doing USO shows, volunteered to serve in the Pacific. He was 37.
By November 20, 1943, Heimberger, now a Lieutenant (jg) aboard the USS Sheridan (APA-151), was serving as a salvage boat commander at the invasion of Tarawa when the Japanese opened up on the attacking Americans.
With landing craft being blown apart; Marines getting shot, hit by shrapnel, and drowning in the bullet-riddled surf; and bodies littering the blood-stained beaches, Heimberger repeatedly risked his life to save wounded Marines.
Taking his boat into a hail of enemy machine gun and mortar fire, he pulled dazed and bloodied Marines out of the water. Some, however, refused to leave.
Even though they had lost their weapons when their landing craft was destroyed, they wanted to stay and fight. “I tried to pull them up into the boat,” Heimberger remembered. “But they yelled, ’No, we’ll wait here, bring us weapons.”
After making his way back to ship and loading more rifles and ammo, he returned to the exposed Marines who had been wading in waist-high water 500 yards off the landing beaches. Only a handful had survived.
“Once you were in the water with so much equipment, you would just go down,” Heimberger recalled. “Hundreds of them died."
Throughout the terrifying invasion, the Navy officer who had refused to take a non-combat job back in the States, rescued more than 47 Marines and was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat “V."
Postscript:
Despite Albert's numerous Hollywood accomplishments and awards, what he was most proud of, he said, was the time he spent with the Marines at Tarawa.
When asked in an interview if he had ever met any of the men he saved at the battle, he said, “Oh, yes, a number of them. One time this fellow came up to me on the street with his children and said:
"My God, I’ve always wanted to meet you. You pulled me out of the water when all us were drowning. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here. Look children, this is the man who saved your papa."
"It’s always rewarding," Albert recalled. “But it reminds you of those you didn’t get to in time." Eddie Albert died on May 26, 2005, at the age of 99.

OLDEST STADIUMS

Melbourne Cricket Ground (Melbourne, Australia) – 1853
This cricket ground located in Yarra Park, Melbourne, is the largest sporting arena in Australia, and the 11th-largest in the world. It’s also one of the oldest. Originally opened in 1853, the 100,024-seat stadium is almost unrecognizable from the ground that fans would have found when it first opened its doors more than a century ago.


Anfield (Liverpool, UK) – 1884
Home of Liverpool Football Club, Anfield is one of the most storied stadiums in English football history. Built in 1884, it was originally home to Liverpool’s arch-rivals Everton, before the Reds moved in seven years later.

Bramall Lane (Sheffield, UK) – 1855
Home to Sheffield United FC, who play in the second tier of English football, Bramall Lane was originally opened as a cricket ground in 1855 before hosting its first soccer match some seven years later.


Lord’s Cricket Ground (London, UK) – 1814
Named after its founder Thomas Lord, the home of English cricket celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2014. Amazingly, the current site of the stadium wasn’t the first Lord’s Cricket Ground, as the venue can trace its history on nearby plots of land all the way back to 1787.

When the U.S. Congress passed—and President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law—the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, the move was largely seen as symbolic.
"The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” lead supporter Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”

That sentiment was echoed by Johnson, who, upon signing the act on October 3, 1965, said the bill would not be revolutionary: “It does not affect the lives of millions … It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives or add importantly to either our wealth or our power.”

But the act—also known as the Hart-Celler Act after its sponsors, Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich.) and Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.)—put an end to long-standing national-origin quotas that favored those from northern and western Europe and led to a significant immigration demographic shift in America. Since the act was passed, according to the Pew Research Center, immigrants living in America have more than quadrupled, now accounting for nearly 14 percent of the population.
The 1965 Aimed to Eliminate Race Discrimination in Immigration
In 1960, Pew notes, 84 percent of U.S. immigrants were born in Europe or Canada; 6 percent were from Mexico, 3.8 percent were from South and East Asia, 3.5 percent were from Latin America and 2.7 percent were from other parts of the world. In 2017, European and Canadian immigrants totaled 13.2 percent, while Mexicans totaled 25.3 percent, other Latin Americans totaled 25.1 percent, Asians totaled 27.4 percent and other populations totaled 9 percent.
The 1965 act has to be understood as a result of the civil rights movement, and the general effort to eliminate race discrimination from U.S. law, says Gabriel “Jack” Chin, immigration law professor at University of California, Davis and co-editor of The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act: Legislating a New America.
Kennedys Saw Immigration Reform as Part of Civil Rights Movement
Immigration reform was also a personal project of John F. Kennedy, Chin notes, whose pamphlet written as a senator was published after his assassination as the book A Nation of Immigrants, and argued for the elimination of the National Origins Quota System in place since 1921.

Ted Kennedy, along with Attorney General and Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-N.Y.), were both proponents of the bill, in part to honor their brother and also because it was consistent with their general interest in civil rights and international cold war politics, Chin adds.
“I think every sensible person in 1965 knew that the sources of immigration would change,” Chin says. “The more fundamental change, and the more fundamental policy, was the articulation by many legislators that it simply did not matter from where an immigrant came; each person would be evaluated as an individual. That kind of argument was novel, but consistent with the anti-racism of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”
The act, Edward Kennedy argued during the Senate floor debate, went to the “very central ideals of our country.”

“Our streets may not be paved with gold, but they are paved with the promise that men and women who live here—even strangers and new newcomers—can rise as fast, as far as their skills will allow, no matter what their color is, no matter what the place of their birth,” he said.

Changes Introduced by the Immigration Act of 1965
Among the key changes brought by the Hart-Celler Act:

Quotas based on nation of origin were abolished. For the first time since the National Origins Quota system went into effect in 1921, national origin was no longer a barrier to immigration. “With the end of preferences for northern and western Europeans, immigrants were selected based on individual merit rather than race or national origin,” Chin says. “Accordingly, there were many more immigrants from Asia, Africa and other parts of the world which had traditionally been discriminated against.” The act also established new immigration policies that looked at reuniting families and giving priority to skilled laborers and professionals.
It restricted immigration from Mexico and Central and South America. According to Chin, there were no numerical limitations on immigration until 1921, but Western Hemisphere immigration had been exempt. “Based on the Monroe Doctrine—and the desire for the free flow of labor, especially agricultural labor—there had been no cap under the National Origins Quota System,” he says. “The 1965 act established a cap on Western Hemisphere immigration for the first time. It also followed on the unwise elimination of the [guest worker] Bracero Program in 1964. These decisions disrupted traditional patterns of labor movement and agricultural production in the United States in ways we are still grappling with.”
It changed immigration demographics and increased immigrant numbers. According to a report by the Pew Research Center, in 1965, 84 percent of the U.S. population consisted of non-Hispanic whites; in 2015, that number was 62 percent. “Without any post-1965 immigration, the nation’s racial and ethnic composition would be very different today: 75 percent white, 14 percent black, 8 percent Hispanic and less than 1 percent Asian,” the report finds.

Comparing 1965 to 2015, the Hispanic population rose from 4 percent to 18 percent; and Asians grew from 1 percent to 6 percent. “This fast-growing immigrant population also has driven the share of the U.S. population that is foreign-born from 5 percent in 1965 to 14 percent today and will push it to a projected record 18 percent in 2065,” the report continues, noting that no racial or ethnic group will claim a majority of the U.S. population.

George Formby, OBE (born George Hoy Booth; 26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961) was an English actor, singer-songwriter and comedian who became known to a worldwide audience through his films of the 1930s and 1940s. On stage, screen and record he sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele, and became the UK's highest-paid entertainer.

Born in Wigan, Lancashire, he was the son of George Formby Sr, from whom he later took his stage name. After an early career as a stable boy and jockey, Formby took to the music hall stage after the early death of his father in 1921. His early performances were taken exclusively from his father's act, including the same songs, jokes and characters. In 1923 he made two career-changing decisions – he purchased a ukulele, and married Beryl Ingham, a fellow performer who became his manager and transformed his act. She insisted that he appear on stage formally dressed, and introduced the ukulele to his performance. He started his recording career in 1926 and, from 1934, he increasingly worked in film to develop into a major star by the late 1930s and 1940s, and became the UK's most popular entertainer during those decades. The media historian Brian McFarlane writes that on film, Formby portrayed gormless Lancastrian innocents who would win through against some form of villainy, gaining the affection of an attractive middle-class girl in the process.

During the Second World War Formby worked extensively for the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA), and entertained civilians and troops, and by 1946 it was estimated that he had performed in front of three million service personnel. After the war his career declined, although he toured the Commonwealth, and continued to appear in variety and pantomime. His last television appearance was in December 1960, two weeks before the death of Beryl. He surprised people by announcing his engagement to a school teacher seven weeks after Beryl's funeral, but died in Preston three weeks later, at the age of 56; he was buried in Warrington, alongside his father.

Formby's biographer, Jeffrey Richards, considers that the actor "had been able to embody simultaneously Lancashire, the working classes, the people, and the nation".[1] Formby was considered Britain's first properly home-grown screen comedian. He was an influence on future comedians—particularly Charlie Drake and Norman Wisdom—and, culturally, on entertainers such as the Beatles, who referred to him in their music. Since his death Formby has been the subject of five biographies, two television specials and two works of public sculpture.

Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religious cult based near San Diego, California. It was founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997) and Bonnie Nettles (1927–1985).[1] On March 26, 1997, deputies of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group, including that of Applewhite, in a house in the San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe. They had participated in a mass suicide, a coordinated series of ritual suicides, in order to reach what they believed was an extraterrestrial spacecraft following Comet Hale–Bopp.[2][3]

Just before the mass suicide, the group's website was updated with the message: "Hale–Bopp brings closure to Heaven's Gate ... Our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion—'graduation' from the Human Evolutionary Level. We are happily prepared to leave 'this world' and go with Ti's crew."[4]

The Panga is a type of modest-sized, open, outboard-powered, fishing boat common throughout much of the developing world, including Central America, the Caribbean, parts of Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia. The original panga design was developed by Yamaha as part of a World Bank project circa 1970.[1][2][3] Pangas are commonly operated directly off beaches.[4] The name comes from the panga fish, which is commonly netted. The upswept bow of the boat resembles the machete or knife called a panga.

Key features of the panga design are a high bow, narrow waterline beam, a delta shaped running surface[5], and a flotation bulge along the gunwale, or top edge of the hull. The high bow provides buoyancy for retrieving heavy nets, and minimizes spray coming over the bow. The narrow beam allows the hull to be propelled by a modest outboard motor. The flotation bulge along the gunwale provides increased stability at high angles of roll. These features link the panga design to traditional Japanese wasen fishing boats.[citation needed]

The original Yamaha panga design had a length of 22 feet (6.7 m), and a waterline beam of approximately 5 feet 6 inches (1.7 m). The flotation bulge at the gunwale increased the overall beam to approximately 6 feet 6 inches (2.0 m).[citation needed]

Pangas are usually between 19 and 28 feet (5.8 and 8.5 m) in length, with capacities ranging from 1 to 5 short tons (0.89 to 4.46 long tons; 0.91 to 4.54 t) and powered by outboard motors of between 45 and 200 hp (34 and 149 kW). Their planing hulls are capable of speeds in excess of 35 knots (40 mph; 65 km/h).[citation needed]

The hulls are made of fiberglass or fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP), heavily reinforced by numerous bulkheads, and usually have bow and stern enclosed flotation compartments.[citation needed]

They are considered extremely seaworthy in the hands of an experienced operator.

The Vespa 150 TAP was an anti-tank scooter made in the 1950s from a Vespa scooter for use with French paratroops (troupes aéroportées, TAP). Introduced in 1956 and updated in 1959, the scooter was produced by Ateliers de Construction de Motocycles et Automobiles (ACMA), the licensed assembler of Vespas in France at the time.[1] Modifications from the civilian Vespa included a reinforced frame and a three-inch recoilless rifle mounted to the scooter.
The 150 TAPs mounted a M20 75 mm recoilless rifle, a U.S.-made light anti-armour weapon. It was very light in comparison to a standard 75 mm cannon but was still able to penetrate 100 mm of armour with its HEAT warhead. The recoil was counteracted by venting propellant gases out the rear of the weapon which eliminated the need for a mechanical recoil system or heavy mount.

The scooters would be parachute-dropped in pairs, accompanied by a two-man team. The gun was carried on one scooter, while the ammunition was loaded on the other. Due to the lack of any kind of aiming devices the recoilless rifle was never designed to be fired from the scooter; the gun was mounted on a M1917 Browning machine gun tripod, which was also carried by the scooter, before being fired. However, in an emergency it could be fired while in the frame, and while the scooter was moving.


The "Bazooka Vespa" was relatively cheap: Vespas cost roughly US$500 at the time, and the M20s were plentiful. 600 of them were produced, between 1956 and 1959. It had a cart, and also came with two cans of fuel

Giovanni Battista Bugatti (1779–1869) was the official executioner for the Papal States from 1796 to 1864. He was the longest-serving executioner in the States and was nicknamed Mastro Titta, a Roman corruption of maestro di giustizia, or master of justice.[1] At the age of 85, he was retired by Pope Pius IX with a monthly pension of 30 scudi.

The scudo (pl. scudi) was the name for a number of coins used in various states in the Italian peninsula until the 19th century. The name, like that of the French écu and the Spanish and Portuguese escudo, was derived from the Latin scutum ("shield"). From the 16th century,[1] the name was used in Italy for large silver coins. Sizes varied depending on the issuing country.

First scudo d'argento (silver shield) was issued in 1551 by Charles V (1519–1556) in Milan.[1]

Under Maria Theresa and Joseph II the scudo d'argento had a weight of 23.10 g and a fineness of 896/1000.[2]

In the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia (under the control of the Habsburg Austrian Empire), the Lombardy-Venetia scudo was equivalent to the Conventionsthaler and was subdivided into six lire.


Before the Napoleonic Wars, the lira was subdivided into 20 soldi, each of 12 denari. Later, the lira was made up of 100 centesimi.

When Austria-Hungary decimalized in 1857, the scudo was replaced by the florin at a rate of 2 florin = 1 scudo. Coins of ½ and 1 soldo were issued, equal to ½ and 1 kreuzer, for use in Lombardy and Venetia.

In the Papal States, the Papal States scudo was the currency until 1866. It was divided into 100 baiocchi (sing. baiocco), each of 5 quattrini. It was replaced by the lira, equal to the Italian lira.

In Malta under the Order of St John, the Maltese scudo circulated from the 16th century until the Order was expelled in 1798. The currency remained the official currency of Malta until 1825 and the last coins were removed from circulation in 1886. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta has issued coins denominated in scudi since 1961

Signs of Alzheimers

Problems With Vocabulary
Alzheimer’s disease also affects the parts of the brain in charge of the language this results in trouble remembering words or trying to find “the right word” for an everyday object. Another early sign is misusing or mixing up words. There is difficulty concentrating and following the conversation, especially after an interruption. Usually, the person is aware of these problems and tries to compensate them.


2
Memory Loss
This is one of the most common early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and mostly involves short-term memory loss. The person experience trouble remembering things that just happened or recently learned information. The person forgets important dates or events and always asks the same question over and over. Usually needs to rely on reminder notes, electronic devices or family members to remember things.

Problems Determining Time and Places

People with AD suffer time distortion, they have trouble acquiring new memories, they have a feeling of being stuck in time. From their perspective, time passes quicker for them than for people without AD. They underestimate time due to the fact that they can’t remember all the events in the short-term past as a result, they feel less time has passed. They may be able to remember personal events that happened decades ago but had trouble remembering what happened a few hours ago.

They also forget where they are or how they got to the place. This sign is dangerous because when they are driving they may get lost.

Wheeler, who had been acting administrator since July 2018.[5] The EPA is not a Cabinet department, but the administrator is normally given cabinet rank.

The EPA has its headquarters in Washington, D.C., regional offices for each of the agency's ten regions, and 27 laboratories.[6] The agency conducts environmental assessment, research, and education. It has the responsibility of maintaining and enforcing national standards under a variety of environmental laws, in consultation with state, tribal, and local governments. It delegates some permitting, monitoring, and enforcement responsibility to U.S. states and the federally recognized tribes. EPA enforcement powers include fines, sanctions, and other measures. The agency also works with industries and all levels of government in a wide variety of voluntary pollution prevention programs and energy conservation efforts.


In 2018, the agency had 13,758 employees. More than half of EPA's employees are engineers, scientists, and environmental protection specialists; other employees include legal, public affairs, financial, and information technologists.

Many public health and environmental groups advocate for the agency and believe that it is creating a better world. Other critics believe that the agency commits government overreach by adding unnecessary regulations on business and property owners.

Changes in Judgement
People in the early stages of AD start to show an inability to make proper decisions. They don’t take into consideration all the necessary factors to make a decision as a result, their choices seem irresponsible or inappropriate. They have the inability to recognize danger, for example, they try to walk across a street at a rush hour and with a lot of traffic. These changes in judgment can also include money, people who where cautious with their money start giving it away to strangers, even if it is money that they don’t have or that they own.

The poor judgment includes inappropriate behaviors like a man who flirts with a stranger when going out with his wife.

The bad decisions also reflect in their dressing. for example, it could be a snowy cold day of winter but they are wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

Another warning sign is when they stop paying attention to personal appearance, this includes grooming or personal hygiene.

Jim Carrey

Carrey was born in the Toronto suburb of Newmarket, Ontario, Canada,[1] to Kathleen (née Oram), a homemaker, and Percy Carrey, a musician and accountant.] He was raised a Roman Catholic and has three older siblings, John, Patricia, and Rita. His mother was of French, Irish, and Scottish descent and his father was of French-Canadian ancestry (the family's original surname was Carré).

At age ten, Carrey wrote a letter to Carol Burnett of the Carol Burnett Show pointing out that he was already a master of impressions and should be considered for a role on the show; he was overjoyed when he received a form letter reply.[14] A fan of Monty Python whose TV show aired in the 1970s, in 2014 Carrey appeared on Monty Python's Best Bits (Mostly) and recalled the effect on him of Ernest Scribbler (played by Michael Palin) laughing himself to death in "The Funniest Joke in the World" sketch.[15] Radio Times states, "You’ll see why immediately: Palin’s performance is uncannily Carreyesque.

Carrey spent his early years in the borough of Scarborough, Ontario, part of Metropolitan Toronto, where he attended Blessed Trinity Catholic Elementary School in North York. He also attended Agincourt Collegiate Institute. His family later moved to Burlington, Ontario, where he attended Aldershot High School. His family struggled financially and, as teenagers, Carrey and his brother would work eight-hour shifts after school as janitors and security guards at the tire factory where their father was employed. On his sixteenth birthday, Carrey dropped out of school; he began to perform comedy while continuing to work at the factory. Some time later, his family became homeless and lived together in a Volkswagen van

In a 2007 Hamilton Spectator interview, Carrey said, "If my career in show business hadn't panned out I would probably be working today in Hamilton, Ontario, at the Dofasco steel mill." As a young man, he could see the steel mills across the Burlington Bay and often thought that was "where the great jobs were."

Alzheimer Signs
Changes in Personality

When people think about typical symptoms of the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease they usually think about memory but an important warning sign is a change in mood or personality. The person starts to lose motivation in those hobbies that used to love.

If the person used to be the kindest and most caring person and suddenly starts to ignore everybody and becomes an irritable person. A woman who used to have a polite language and take care of her words could start to use offensive language. A man who used to have mental health can suddenly start to feel depressed and anxious all the time.

Keep in mind that to take this as a valid sign of an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease the person should also have other signs like time distortion or memory loss.

Signs of Alzheimers

Withdrawal from Social or Work Activities

Vision Problems
The brain takes the visual information from your eyes and creates a picture you can understand so it isn’t hard to imagine that brain tissue damage could also cause vision problems. It becomes harder for the person to read words on a page or to tell colors apart. They experience troubles with spatial relationships and depth perception. They may also have issues judging distance, following moving objects, and determining contrast as a result, the person may experience trouble when driving

Early Diagnostic Is Important

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible condition that negatively affects the life of the patient but also the life of the family and friends. Early diagnosis is important because it can maximize the quality of the person. The patient will have time to plan his own long-term care and spend the time doing what he loves the most before the disease starts to advance. The person can access to the newest and most relevant information as well as increase the chances of having a good life with dementia.
