Doctors diagnosed Chen with Alzheimer's Disease, the most common form of dementia, where people suffer impaired cognitive function including memory loss, eventually needing full-time care. The United States has 6.2 million Alzheimer's patients and 73,000 beds in specialist treatment centres, while China has double the cases but fewer than 200 beds. "No healthcare problem looms larger in China than Alzheimer's Disease," said Wei Shouchao, a neurologist from Guangdong medical university. "Even Beijing has only one care home with staff trained to handle Alzheimer's patients." The team says it has helped find about 300 missing Alzheimer's patients since 2016.

Majority not keen to see Prayut take over PPRP leadership: pollPrime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha gestures to supporters during a visit to a Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) factory at the Laem Chabang deep-sea port in Sri Racha district of Chon Buri on Friday. The poll was conducted through telephone interviews on Sept 13-16 on 1,317 people aged 18 and over of various levels of education and occupations throughout the country. As a consequence of the alleged attempt to unseat him, Gen Prayut removed Capt Thamanat as deputy agriculture and cooperatives minister and Narumol Pinyosinwat as deputy labour minister.

Of them, 58.24% said Gen Prayut had failed in his administration, lacked leadership, and was unable to solve the country's problems, and it was time for him to step down.

In-person Emmys return as Netflix eyes TV's top prize with 'The Crown'Leading streamer Netflix has never won best drama at the Emmys -- nor best comedy, nor best limited series. LOS ANGELES: Television's top stars will gather in person for the first time in two years at Sunday's Emmys, where Netflix is tipped to finally win the small screen's biggest prize for "The Crown." Leading streamer Netflix has utterly transformed the TV landscape since creating its first original show in 2012, but surprisingly has never won a top series prize at television's equivalent of the Oscars -- best drama, best comedy, or best limited series. An outside bet for best drama is "Pose" -- Billy Porter's LGBTQ-focused show exploring New York's 1980s underground ballroom culture has mounted a dazzling Emmys campaign for its final season. In limited series competition, quirky sitcom-inspired Marvel superhero show "WandaVision" on Disney+ has exceeded all critical expectations.

"It's described as a gladiator school for a reason," the 49-year-old told AFP, listing another of Rikers' monikers: "torture island." A horror house of abuse and neglect," said New York State assemblywoman Emily Gallagher, who visited this week. The DOC has been struggling with staffing for months; posts have been unattended with inmates left to fend for themselves. Prison officers unions say guards are overworked from triple shifts while others are recovering from the effects of Covid-19 and injuries inflicted by inmates. The number of inmates at Rikers has fallen from around 20,000 in the 1990s to almost 6,000 today.

The FOMC "likes to prepare markets for any major change," said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US. The Fed took several emergency measures starting in March 2020, acting quickly as the pandemic caused the world's largest economy to collapse. -The FOMC will convene as the economy sends mixed signals about two of the central bank's top priorities: employment and prices. "If they're looking for 3.5 (percent unemployment) then they'll start raising rates again in 230 years," economist Joel Naroff quipped. "If they're looking for 4.5 (percent unemployment) and still declining then I think the end of next year is reasonable."

Branagh's 'Belfast' boosts Oscars hopes with Toronto prizeKenneth Branagh's deeply personal dramedy "Belfast" captures the late-1960s outbreak of Northern Ireland's violent "Troubles" from the perspective of Buddy, a nine-year-old boyOTTAWA: "Belfast," Kenneth Branagh's black-and-white homage to the hometown he fled as a child, raised its profile as an early Oscar frontrunner by winning the Toronto film festival's coveted top prize Saturday. "Our first showing of 'Belfast' at TIFF was one of the most memorable experiences of my entire career," Branagh told the Toronto International Film Festival ceremony via video message. Branagh's latest, deeply personal dramedy "Belfast" -- which hits theaters in November -- captures the late-1960s outbreak of Northern Ireland's violent "Troubles" from the perspective of Buddy, a nine-year-old boy. "12 Years a Slave" (2013), "The King's Speech" (2010) and "Slumdog Millionaire" (2008) all began their journeys to Oscar glory with the Toronto prize. A handful of other films that played at Toronto and are seen as awards contenders were not eligible for Saturday's prize, including the Princess Diana biopic "Spencer" starring Kristen Stewart, and Villeneuve's sci-fi epic "Dune."

SpaceX all-civilian orbital crew completes historic missionThe first all-civilian crew to orbit the Earth, inside the SpaceX Dragon capsuleWASHINGTON: Four SpaceX tourists returned to Earth safely on Saturday after spending three days in space, successfully concluding the first orbital mission in history with no professional astronauts on board. They were next headed for the Kennedy Space Center, where their mission had begun on Wednesday. The Inspiration4 crew bonded over the course of six months' training, compared with years for professional astronauts.

SpaceX is already planning further space tourism flights -- the next is scheduled for January 2022 with three businessmen on board.

2006 coup a success, claims mastermind SonthiThe Sept 19, 2006 coup against the Thaksin Shinawatra government was a success, former army chief Gen Sonthi Boonyaratglin claimed in an interview with the Bangkok Post to mark its 15th anniversary. The military-appointed Senate can join MPs in the prime minister's selection while the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) was formed to back Gen Prayut as the premier. The 2006 takeover pales in comparison to its successor as it lasted just 12 months before an election, which was ultimately followed by more political strife. He is accompanied by Gen Anupong Paojinda and Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, who held the rank of lieutenant general at that time. However, Gen Sonthi said the events should not be compared because the political contexts were different.

Becoming Long John Silver just for a dayImportant news. But In the 1950 film Treasure Island, Newton gave such an iconic performance as Long John Silver, the accent he used became a template for future swashbuckling films. He enjoyed the same role in a television series, The Adventures of Long John Silver, and it is no surprise he became the patron saint of the Talk Like a Pirate organisation. However, the truth is that no one really knows what accent pirates spoke and the real pirates probably would not understand a word Newton said. On the old ships the ropes that gave tension to the sails were called sheets.

'Attack' hits Hungary primary polls aimed to challenge Orban: oppositionAfter years of bickering, the opposition is hoping to push long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orban from powerBUDAPEST - Hungary's first-ever primary elections to find a candidate to challenge right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban got off to a rocky start on Saturday with voting suspended due to what organisers said was a suspected cyber attack. "No matter what attack comes or where it comes from, there is no force capable of stopping this historical process," the six-party opposition alliance said in a statement. Electoral changes brought in under Orban handed Fidesz powerful parliamentary "super majorities" in 2014 and 2018, despite winning less than half of the vote. The primaries allow opposition voters to select single candidates to take on both Orban himself as well as Fidesz rivals in each of Hungary's 106 electoral districts. - Unpredictable general election -Polls so far indicate an unpredictable parliamentary election next April for the first time since Orban came to power.
