To play Maria Callas, Angelina Jolie had to learn how to breathe againShelia Poole | (TNS) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ATLANTA — Holidays are a time for families and friends to gather, but for older people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, it can cause so much stress and confusion that they could be in danger of what experts calls wandering.

There’s a lot of chaos going on and that can cause a person to wander. They want to get away. It’s hard for them to process what’s happening.” The Alzheimer’s Association reports 72% of dementia patients who wander are found alive by the next day. Alerting 911 as soon as the person goes missing is critical. The odds of survival decrease as more time passes. Angel Alonso, president of Georgia Emergency Search and Recovery based in Gwinnett County, said the vast majority — between 60% and 70% — of the 30 to 40 calls the nonprofit received last year involved people with the disease. The GESAR is a volunteer-driven organization that works with law enforcement to find people who have gone missing, including children, people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and people lost during major disasters. “We get so many Alzheimer’s calls,” said Vice President John Clark, who is also volunteer instructor with the Georgia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. For caregivers and loved ones, a relative who goes missing is devastating. Two of Clark’s grandparents had dementia, so he gravitated to search and rescue to help other families and caregivers keep their loved ones safe. He’s consulted with police departments across metro Atlanta on the best ways to find people with Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias can cause people to lose their ability to recognize people and places that are familiar. According to the Alzheimer’s Association there are often warning signs that a person might wander. Six in 10 people with dementia will wander during the course of the disease. That includes people returning from a regular walk or drive later than usual. Or they may talk about fulfilling former obligations, such as going to work or talk about going home even when they’re at home. Sometimes they become restless and pace or make repetitive movements. Clark recounted one call for help when a family reported a missing relative, but they insisted she couldn’t have gone far because of a bad knee that limited her to walking no further than the mailbox. Searchers found the missing woman 7 miles from home. Even those who have never shown an interest in wandering might start without warning. Dan Goerke is fortunate. His late wife, Diane, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2012, once went missing from the car of a caregiver. The caregiver had stopped for an errand. Diane had waited alone in cars as people ran errands before. But this time, when the caregiver returned, Diane was gone but her seat belt was still fastened. “It was like she disappeared into thin air,” said Goerke, who said he doesn’t blame the caregiver. Fortunately, she was found uninjured and nearby a short time later that same day. Goerke said it’s hard for caregivers to always be on guard for wandering. “We have so many things to juggle that’s not necessarily at the top of our minds. We have to manage medications, take them to doctor’s appointments, cook meals and taking care of things day to day,” he said. Clark said when searching for someone with dementia, one of the keys is to know what the person was like before their diagnosis. Often their long-term memories are still strong. They once found a woman who walked out of her home and went to where she used to shop and to her old job, although it had closed. Recently, GESAR unveiled a new tool to search for missing people: Maverick. An 8-month-old chocolate Labrador retriever, Maverick is in training to be part of the GESAR search and research team that will track missing people, including wandering dementia patients in metro Atlanta. In cases involving children and people with dementia, a dog’s personality can also be an asset. Labs like Maverick are friendly and affectionate, not imposing or threatening like some other breeds — and less likely to scare the person who is lost. Canines can be used in searches in both rural and urban areas. “He’s an asset,” said Maverick’s handler, Carmen Alonso. “His nose can pick up odors and track where a person has been that we might not think to go that direction.” At the Cobb County Police Department, Public Information Officer Sgt. Eric Smith said if dogs are needed to search for a wanderer they call the sheriff’s department, which has bloodhounds. “They’re not apprehension dogs so there’s little or no likelihood of a bite,” he said. Technology can also help, Smith said. Searchers can use drones and families can install technology on a person’s car to help locate it or use other kinds of trackable devices including on their phone. “We get so many Alzheimer’s calls,” said Clark, who is also a volunteer instructor with the Georgia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Most cases they’ve worked on have had favorable results, according to the Georgia Emergency Search and Recovery organization. No two searches are the same, said Sgt. Jeremy Blake of the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office. “When responding to calls for a missing person, the response is different than that of a fleeing suspect,” he wrote in an email. “The K-9s that are used to track missing persons are not trained in the apprehension of suspects. ... Often times, if the K-9 cannot locate the missing person, they can provide officers with a more accurate direction of travel than they may previously had.” Nearly 7 million U.S. residents age 65 and older were living with Alzheimer’s according to the most recent Facts & Figures report . Of those, more than 188,000 Georgians ages 65 and older also have been diagnosed with the disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association Georgia Chapter. There is a better chance of being found in urban environments because of a higher probability of a “good Samaritan” stepping in. Wanderers may give no forewarning. Often those with memory issues wander away during activities they’ve done safely in the past, such as shopping or sitting on a front porch. Some people who still drive can become disoriented and drive for miles away from home. According to the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, on average, half the calls for missing persons involve the elderly or someone with disabilities. Call 911 as soon as possible. Have a photograph available for first responders and an article of clothing to provide a scent for search dogs. Sharing what the missing person liked to do in prior years can be a key: Did they have a job they went to every day? Did they like to fish or go to a certain spot? Searchers will need to know the last time the person was seen to help determine how far a person might have wandered.

Nagpur: Following the Mahayuti alliance 's unprecedented victory in the Maharashtra assembly elections , securing a commanding 235 of 288 seats, Vidarbha is the focal point of speculation over cabinet appointments. With the BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) sharing the spoils, leaders from Vidarbha are actively lobbying for ministerial roles. Fadnavis Set for CM, Other Big Names The top job appears destined for deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis , whose leadership was instrumental in the win. His administrative expertise and sway over Vidarbha make him the natural choice to succeed Eknath Shinde, who is likely to take a significant cabinet portfolio. Senior BJP leaders like Sudhir Mungantiwar, known for his work as forest minister, and Chandrashekhar Bawankule, who made a comeback with a resounding victory in Kamptee, are expected to play key roles. Bawankule is also expected to be guardian minister of Nagpur. From the Shiv Sena, former minister Sanjay Rathod, could return, but for the controversy over his alleged involvement in a TikTok star's death. NCP's Dharmaraobaba Atram, who served as Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) minister in the Shinde cabinet, is also likely to retain his position. Promising Contenders Vidarbha's BJP bastion has produced several young and dynamic leaders. Hingna MLA Sameer Meghe, with third consecutive win, is a strong contender for a cabinet berth. Four-time MLA Krishna Khopde, who won with a record margin of over one lakh votes, is also in the fray. In Bhandara, three-time MLA Narendra Bhondekar, who switched to the Shiv Sena before the elections, is also in the race. MLC Parinay Fuke, PWD and forest minister in Fadnavis's previous govt, is another hopeful. However, his MLC status from Bhandara could prove a hurdle. From Gondia, former social justice minister Rajkumar Badole, who defected to NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) to contest the elections, is being considered. BJP's Vinod Agrawal, a 2019 independent winner who joined the party before the elections, is also in contention. Veterans Eye Ministerial Roles Wardha's Sameer Kunawar, who retained his Hinganghat seat for the third time, is vying for a ministerial role. In Buldhana, either four-time MLA from Jalgaon (Jamod) Sanjay Kute, or seven-time winner from Malkapur Chainsukh Sancheti, may secure a cabinet berth. From Yavatmal, BJP's Ashok Wooike (Ralegaon MLA) and NCP's Indranil Naik (Pusad MLA), both three-time winners, are potential candidates for minister of state (MoS) positions. Amravati district also has strong contenders, including Ravi Rana of Yuva Swabhiman Paksha (Badnera MLA), BJP's Pratap Adsad (Dhamangaon Railway MLA), and Sulbha Khodke (Amravati City MLA). Balancing Aspirations and Realities As cabinet formation discussions intensify, the BJP-led Mahayuti faces the daunting task of balancing regional representation, political seniority, and alliance dynamics. Vidarbha, with its mix of veteran politicians and rising stars, is poised to play a pivotal role in the new govt.

BIRMINGHAM, England :Aston Villa had to settle for a 0-0 draw against depleted Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday after a last-gasp effort by Morgan Rogers was chalked off for a foul on Juventus keeper Michele Di Gregorio. Villa thought they had won it at the death to end a six-game winless streak when Di Gregorio failed to catch a free kick, but Diego Carlos fouled the Juventus keeper as Rogers was lashing the ball into the net, and boos poured out from Villa fans after the final whistle. The match was far from a classic, with Juventus seemingly content to keep possession, and both sides squandered chances, with Villa's best coming from Lucas Digne who hammered a free kick off the crossbar seconds before halftime. Midway through the second half, Francisco Conceicao's short-range header from a corner looked destined for the back of Villa's net but Villa's World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emi Martinez dived to get his fingertips to the ball. Television replays showed a mere sliver of the ball failed to cross the goalline. Villa captain John McGinn almost gave the home side the lead when he latched on to a pass from Leon Bailey in the 70th minute, but the Scotland international's shot was blocked by Manuel Locatelli. Unai Emery's Villa, who had kicked off their Champions League campaign with three victories and three clean sheets, are ninth in the table after five games. Their Italian visitors, who had are unbeaten in Serie A this season but had only 14 outfield players available on Wednesday, are 19th in the 36-team table. The top eight qualify automatically for the last 16, with the next 16 sides entering a two-leg playoff to try to join them. Victory would have been a big confidence boost for Emery's team, who have not won since their 2-0 Champions League victory over Bologna on Oct. 22 and have slipped to eighth in the Premier League table with one win in their last five games.

Pep Guardiola has said his Manchester City side facing problems after giving up a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday. City went into the game with Feyenoord on the back of five consecutive games without a win. The Premier League champions looked set to halt the poor as they led 3-0 thanks to a goal from Ilkay Gundogan and a brace from Erling Haaland. But with 15 minutes left Feyenoord erased the 3-0 deficit to secure a 3-3 draw. ““We have problems, yes,” Guardiola said in his post match. “Three changes? The game is never over, but at 3-0, I could not see any danger.” Up next for City is a difficult trip to Anfield to face Premier League leaders Liverpool.Education City High School (ECHS), uniting students from three of Qatar Foundation (QF)’s Pre-University Education schools — Qatar Academy Doha, Qatar Academy Sidra, and Qatar Academy for Science and Technology — is to organise ‘Ru’ya’, a TEDx-style event showcasing the creativity, passion, and growth of students as they share impactful stories. The event, on December 15, from 5pm-7.30pm at QAD Primary Auditorium, will feature nine talks delivered by students and parents. These talks will delve into passionate ideas, visionary perspectives, and transformative personal journeys, reflecting a commitment to excellence and fostering lifelong learning and inspiration within the community. Shantanu Rajadhyaksha, IB Core Co-ordinator and IBDP Business Management teacher at ECHS, part of Qatar Foundation’s Pre-University Education, said: “Ru’ya highlights that education extends beyond classrooms and exams. It reminds the community that learning is a dynamic process that happens through collaboration, creativity, and shared experiences. “In Ru’ya, everyone is a learner, whether they are speakers or part of the audience. The event creates a space where individuals come together to share, inspire, and grow collectively. He added that everyone in the community has unique qualities to offer, and with the appropriate platform, they can inspire others and make a meaningful difference. “Ru’ya provides a powerful motivational drive for students, encouraging them to develop and apply 21st century skills in a real-world setting. Through this experience, participants will build strong bonds, work as a team, and strive to meet high standards, learning and improving with each step. “In addition, Ru’ya is an opportunity to gain essential communication and organisational skills. Whether they are speakers or planners, they develop empathy by listening to others and understanding the needs of their audience, while also learning how to create an impactful event. “The audience benefits by being exposed to diverse perspectives and seeing students speak confidently about their passions. This fosters a culture of curiosity and risk-taking, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and safe.” “I also hope that Ru’ya serves as a model for authentic learning - learning that goes beyond grades and exams - to embrace deeper, more meaningful social and educational processes.” Ru’ya, a student-led initiative, serves as a platform to foster connection and empowerment across generations, promoting meaningful dialogue and shared inspiration. All revenue from the event will contribute to the Education Above All Foundation’s mission to expand access to educational opportunities globally. To register and join this evening of inspiration and community, tickets are now available at (Education City Ru’ya) for QR50, a statement added Sunday. Related Story TNG celebrates Teachers’ Day and outstanding efforts TNG science fair focuses on sustainable futureWASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was blocked Wednesday from quickly advancing a bill that would allow local law enforcement agencies to track aerial drones, ensuring Congress won't act this year on the mysterious drone sightings that have bewildered residents of New Jersey and across the eastern U.S. Schumer, a New York Democrat, sought to speed a bipartisan bill through the Senate by seeking unanimous consent on the floor, but Sen. Rand Paul , a Kentucky Republican, objected to its passage. Recommended Videos “The people in New York and New Jersey have a lot of questions, and they’re not getting good enough answers,” said Schumer. “The utter confusion surrounding these drone sightings shows that the feds can’t respond all on their own.” Schumer has also called for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify the drones and their operators. The Senate bill would have also enhanced some federal agencies’ authority to act on drones, as well as started a pilot program to allow states and local authorities to disrupt, disable or seize a drone without prior consent of the operator. “This bill would ensure that law enforcement has the technology needed to quickly and clearly identify exactly what the reported sightings of drones across the country actually are,” said Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat who sponsored the bipartisan bill. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference or a public safety threat. But they can’t say with certainty who is responsible for the sudden swarms of drones over parts of New Jersey, New York and other eastern parts of the U.S. Some U.S. political leaders, including Trump, have called for much stronger action against the drones, including shooting them down. Paul, the Kentucky Republican who often advocates for limiting governmental powers, said that he was objecting because it is not clear there is a threat that warrants urgent action. He said the bill would “expand federal authority to intercept communications and disrupt drone activity — powers that raise serious concerns for Americans' privacy, civil liberties, and Fourth Amendment protections against unwarranted search and seizure.”
