The devastation of a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, is a crushing blow for patients and families alike. Symptoms often go undetected until some really bizarre and often dangerous behavior occurs. As there is no cure as yet for this degenerative brain disease, researchers have been working on finding a means for early diagnosis, that is affordable and will allow treatment to begin to slow down the progression of the disease.
As the website “MNT” has reported, one of the first manifestations of cognitive decline, is a deficiency in sense of smell. Being able to detect smells has a direct link to the first cranial nerve; impairment in this area begins the downward functioning of cognition.
This fact led a group of researchers at the University of Florida Health, led by Jennifer Stamps, to test the acuity of patients’ sense of smell as a potential avenue for early diagnosis of cognitive impairment. Stamps illustrates and explains how they went about doing this, in the video you are about to watch below.
What they discovered was truly a BREAKTHROUGH for EARLY DETECTION of ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE as well as other kinds of DEMENTIA. Stamps explains in the footage below that, “All of the Alzheimer’s patients had a left nostril impairment [while] the right nostril was normal at odor detection [of PEANUT BUTTER]”. While “Alzheimers.net” concurs with the validity of this process for existing Alzheimers, they point out that impaired sense of smell is associated with numerous cognitive impairments.
If you or your family members suspect some cognitive decline and/or a diminished sense of smell, go see a neurologist rather than testing this out at home. Sometimes we imagine deficits that come from fear of
Alzheimers or other forms of dementia, but if these thoughts plague you, it is better to be safe than sorry. Early diagnosis and treatment, should your fears be a reality, will help to ensure a longer quality of life.

Moving into a new house is just as exciting as it is stressful. There’s so much to get done, but once you’re finished you can finally relax in your new surroundings and meet the neighbors. There seems to always be neighborhood characters and little quirks that are unique to each location, and as time goes on you start to notice little things about your new place.
For one woman in the UK named Rosie, a strange occurrence kept happening after she moved into her new house. Pretty little pink flowers were regularly appearing on her porch seemingly out of nowhere. There were no matching flowers in her garden or on her property and the only explanations she could think of, such as the wind blowing them to the same spot time and again, just didn’t add up.
Miffed at the whole thing, Rosie kept an eye out for a possible secret admirer and went about her business. Time went by and the flowers kept coming, there was a new one every couple of days. Then one evening Rosie was cooking dinner when she noticed a movement on her front porch.
It was the neighbor’s cat, Willow, coming up with a pink flower in her mouth! The sweet kitty had been bringing her floral presents the whole time and now Rosie had witnessed it and knew the truth behind the mystery. Rosie had met Willow when she first moved in but had no idea the cat held her in such high regards.
It turns out that Willow likes to go around to all the neighbors and visit them, but Rosie is the only one she brings flowers to. Now that the two are closer, Rosie gives her extra special attention and treats. She even lets her in the house where Willow loves to curl up and nap on the couch.
This is one cat who knows how to win hearts over! Enjoy the video below!

Mama Fox Watches These Humans Trying To Save Her Baby Stuck In A Drain. Then The Unthinkable Occurs.

It is always amazing to watch the behavior of wildlife when humans need to intercede in an emergency. For the mother of a tiny baby fox cub, who has fallen down a drainpipe in Bexhill, England, it was waiting and watching from a distance, as if she “knew” that the rescuers were there to help find her baby.
As all mother’s of young children know, you really have to keep your eyes on them constantly, because all it takes is a few seconds for them to be lost or in trouble. This mother fox, was definitely concerned about her little one, as she watched the “East Sussex Wildlife Rescue & Ambulance Service” looking down the drainpipe to catch site of the baby whom they could hear, but not see.
The cub had gone so far down the drainpipe, that the rescuers had to lower a cell phone camera, in order to find the frightened little animal. They discovered that the cub was too deeply down the pipe for them to reach him. They waited patiently, watching the cub attempt to climb out by himself, and get close enough for them to grab and rescue. It took three attempts, before Trevor Weeks could get a hold of the cub’s tail, and gently lift him out of the drain.
Wait until you see this tiny baby at the moment of rescue; the poor little thing is filthy and appears shocked, as he allows his human rescuer to comfort him. They clean him up and place him in an open carrier. Mom, who has been watching from a distance, reappears and what happens next is both adorable and heartwarming. Enjoy the footage below.

Apparently THIS Simple Life Hack Will Air Seal Any Bag Of Chips With No Clip Necessary!
image via – youtube.com
Nothing is better than reaching into a bag of crispy chips or crackers when you’re really hungry and need a little snack to stave off the empty stomach pangs. That light, airy, crunchy taste and texture is so soothing and pleasing that it can even make your mouth water just thinking about it.
However, nothing is worse than when the chips hit your lips and instead of a satisfying crunch they mush down into a stale wad of grossness that you have to spit out. The feeling of limp, old snacks is an immediate appetite killer and one we have all experienced.
Plus, as if the taste wasn’t bad enough, you also end up throwing out the rest of the bag. Money and food gets wasted, all your snack hopes and dreams get crushed, and overall you’re left with a really bad taste in your mouth.
Part of why such a situation and the above scenario is so depressing is that it doesn’t have to be like that. By properly sealing and closing bags chips, crackers, cookies, and whatever tasty treats you open can stay fresh and crispy for much longer than not.
When someone fails to do that, they are asking for stale, wasted food. The most common way to avoid this is by placing a clip on the open bag to ensure it stays closed. Even a rubber band, clothespin, binder clip, or any similar type of object can be used to secure the bags opening.
For those times when you don’t have a clip of any sort nearby or available, you can always try this handy little trick to seal up an opened snack bag. Start by neatly rolling the top of the bag down over itself until you near the part of the bag where it is filled to.
Take each of the topmost rolled corners and fold them in about an inch or so towards the center. Using your fingers to hold the corners in place, turn the fold over itself in the opposite direction from which it was rolled down.
Refer to the video for a better idea of what I’m attempting to describe, but it’s basically similar to turning the fold inside out. Doing this will ensure that the bag stays closed and won’t pop open. Air is kept out and freshness is ensured for at least a few days, in some cases weeks, longer.
Be sure to check out the short video clip because it will come in handy at some point and help you (a lot) to avoid future chip issues. Also, don’t forget to spread the wealth and share it so that others know how to keep their snacks fresh for longer too!

Nobody Believed Her When She Described Her Dog’s Creepy Daily Ritual. So She Caught THIS Scary Video!
image via – youtube.com
Dogs are known as man’s best friend for a number of different reasons but the main one comes down to the unwavering love and loyalty they have for their closest human companions. The special bond between man and dog is the only one of its type that exists in nature. Many a dog wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for a person they love and the innumerable accounts throughout history of dogs sacrificing their lives to save that of their owner backs that assertion up.
There are some dogs who re so attached to their owners that they can’t even let the person out of their sight. That’s exactly how Cyrus, a two year old Bullmastiff living in Perth, Australia, acts. His owner, Lauren Birney, says that no matter what she’s doing or where she may be, Cyrus is always close by keeping a watchful eye on her.
He follows her from room to room around the house, even if she’s in the shower he’s right there, and he tries to hide when he’s observing her. Cyrus likes to follow her around so much that it borders on stalking and that’s why he’s earned himself the title of ‘convicted creeper!’
When the large dog goes creeping, it’s pretty hard for him to hide and blend in. Cyrus’s hilarious attempts at being clandestine can be seen in this video compilation of pictures Lauren has taken of his antics. He looks like such a big-hearted teddy bear and is one handsome and adorable boy!
Cyrus is also a good Samaritan and every four months he donates blood to help save other dogs in need. Lauren takes him to the donation clinic at Western Australia Veterinary Emergency and Specialty (WAVES) three times a year and feeds him tasty bits of chicken when he’s donating to help keep him calm and happy.
With a sweet and caring owner like that it’s easy to see why Cyrus loves her so much, and it’s no wonder why he turned out the same!

Nobody Believed Them When They Described Their Pups Daily Ritual. So They Caught THIS On Video

Maddie may be the smartest puppy alive, but that does not make her immune to the summer heat. Unlike her furry friends who do not share her Einsteinesque IQ, she uses her wits to cool herself down in a much more practical way than the classic hyperventilate-with-my-tongue-out routine that is so popular amongst her peers. Instead, she uses secret espionage techniques to learn the inner workings of the fabled garden hose, practicing under the veil of darkness until her technique is flawless. Once mastered, it is time to implement her unprecedented abilities for their intended purpose: to keep cool during the dog days of summer. Using her keen eye, she spots an opportune moment and goes for it.
Grasping the hose with her opposable teeth, she simultaneously turns it on with her formidable powers of telekinesis. Sauntering to the empty pool with efficient grace, she carefully places the running hose inside.
There is just one problem: it is not quite in the right spot. You see, her incredible brain power is not enough to conquer forty thousand years of dog evolution. Apparently, the same part of a dog’s mind that forces them to walk in seventy four circles before lying down, also causes a bit of an issue for our dear Maddie.
She moves the hose countless times, trying to find the perfect spot. Even after all that practice, she just can’t quite find it, but she does forget she was hot in the process, thereby inadvertently succeeding in her original goal.
