In those places, if you qualify, you can ask a doctor to prescribe a lethal drug, which you can take when you are ready to die.īut the rules for qualifying pose impossible hurdles for people with dementia: you have to be mentally competent and able to take the medication yourself-no one can help you.īy the time someone with Alzheimer’s is six months from the end, he (or she) can meet neither of these requirements.Īnother way a terminally ill, competent person can hasten death is by Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED). ![]() Meanwhile, methods of hastening death have become more available to competent people.įor those who are terminally ill and have less than six months to live, medical aid in dying (MAID) is now legal in nine states and DC. The disease slowly runs its course, making victims more and more dependent on the care of others. There is nothing to unplug and no way to avoid prolonged dying. Patients aren’t kept alive or rescued by heroic measures. And almost all have Do Not Resuscitate orders.īut typically, none of those comes into play in the end stage of dementia. People with late-stage dementia have long had a right, through their proxies or previously drawn up health care directives, to forego ventilators or feeding tubes. I think it’s a flawed solution, which can’t meet that challenge. This type of directive, much debated by bioethicists and legal scholars, came into being because of the unique challenge dementia poses for the right to die. He orders his health care proxy-a family member-to prevent anyone from spoon-feeding him or offering him liquids. If he develops Alzheimer’s or another dementia, Robert directs that food and water be withheld from him at a certain stage in his disease. “I don’t want any church, the government, any doctors or hospitals or even my family to contradict what I want for my death,” he says. It is known as SED by AD, short for Stopping Eating and Drinking by Advance Directive. He wants to go out on his own terms-terms he has specified in a mostly untried kind of advance directive, of which he is a fervent proponent. But it’s not death he fears it’s lingering disability, especially cognitive decline. Like many people, Robert dreads the possibility of getting Alzheimer’s, which is a fatal disease. “If I’m not me, I don’t want to be.” That’s the motto of a healthy man in his 80s who was interviewed some years ago by the New York Times. ![]()

![]() ![]() Simple: functionality, user-friendly UI, accessibility, and searchability (and okay, maybe aesthetics, too). What makes a handy and reliable note-taking app? With those factors in mind, let’s examine the best note taking app for you to try this year. ![]() And you can’t even attach files or save documents to sticky notes!ĪLSO: Take a look at these best note taking strategies ! Those can definitely get lost! Or blow away. Maybe instead of pen and paper or a notebook, you have sticky notes all over your monitor. Having an aesthetic that fits your needs will help you take better notes in the long run! Whether you prefer simple and sleek or bright and funky, our list has you covered. Aesthetics: On top of convenience and accessibility, aesthetics are an important factor when choosing the best note taking tool for your needs.This helps you transfer notes to work accounts or easily share them with friends. You can add, copy and edit your notes from a laptop, tablet or phone. Accessibility: Beyond the convenience in your pocket, most note taking tools also provide remarkable accessibility.Note taking apps make it simple to keep up with your information. If you remember a random idea, you can search back through all of your notes to find it. With an amazing note taking app, you don’t have to do this.

Languages like C++, Java, Python and more allow programmers – often working closely with software developers and engineers to build programs that allow “search, surfing and selfies,” according to. Computer programmers use specialized languages to communicate with computers, applications and other systems to get computers and computer networks to perform a set of specific tasks. "The terms computer software and computer programming are used interchangeably except software can get rather large."

For software like Microsoft Word released in 1983, for instance, programmers have been tweaking and improving it for years. ![]() Some of that development can last decades. Cheryl Frederick, executive director of STEM programs at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), said computer programming is a collaborative process, with a variety of programmers contributing during the development of a piece of software. It can also be as complex as reading data from temperature sensors to adjust a thermostat, sorting data to complete intricate scheduling or critical reports or taking players through multi-layered worlds and challenges in games.ĭr. Based on the requirements or purposes of these instructions, computer programming can be as simple as adding two numbers. That’s what computer programming is all about.Īt its most basic, computer programming is little more than a set of instructions to facilitate specific actions.

For anyone born after then, this is a slang term for a vibrator. The song’s mentioning of an “electrical banana” gives it away to anyone born before 1960. In fact, Donovan claims to have heard the rumour only three weeks before ‘Mellow Yellow’ was released as a single.ĭonovan has since cleared away the forest of rumours sourcing the song’s provenance. According to the liner notes for Donovan’s Greatest Hits, the rumour asserting the banana’s medicinal properties was espoused by Country Joe McDonald in 1966. Of course, that theory has since been debunked, so don’t be getting any ideas. This rumour sounds so ridiculous, even today. Initially, the song was rumoured to be about smoking dried banana skins, which were rumoured to have psychedelic properties in the ’60s. In fact, ‘Mellow Yellow’ was steeped in myth almost instantly after release. However, Donovan has dispelled this myth. It was also rumoured to have been McCartney whispering the slightly creepy “quite rightly” in the chorus. It is also alleged that McCartney played bass in parts of the album Mellow Yellow but was uncredited. The Beatles bassist lends his hand to the song with a clap and the cheer at the end. Showing that Donovan’s illustrious list of friends did not end there, his quintessential song features an uncredited Paul McCartney. It was arranged by none other than John Paul Jones, the only member of the future Led Zeppelin we have not mentioned till this point. The title track and solo single from Mellow Yellow, the song is a psychedelic trip in of itself. Songs marked with a ‘+’ have been remixed into stereo.One of the hits that culminated in Donovan’s ubiquity was 1966’s ‘Mellow Yellow’. On 1 October 2018, The state51 Conspiracy reissued Mellow Yellow (CON224LP) in the UK and Ireland on LP.Īll tracks by Donovan Leitch.On 24 September 2010, Sony Music Entertainment reissued Mellow Yellow as part of a 3-CD set with The Hurdy Gurdy Man and Barabajagal.On, EMI reissued Mellow Yellow (EMI 8735672) with ten bonus tracks.On 16 January 2001, Collectables Records released Mellow Yellow/Wear Your Love Like Heaven (Collectables 6644), which contained all of Mellow Yellow and the first record of A Gift from a Flower to a Garden, Wear Your Love Like Heaven.Four Donovan Originals is a compact disc box set containing four Donovan albums that were not previously released in the UK. On 24 October 1994, EMI released Four Donovan Originals (EMI 7243 8 30867 2 6) in the UK.The track " Museum" was covered by Herman's Hermits on their 1967 album release Blaze. He is uncredited for his work.Īccording to a recent biography ( "Darker Than The Deepest Sea: The Search For Nick Drake"), the album was a significant influence on Nick Drake. Paul McCartney provided background vocals on at least one of the tracks. John Cameron played blues piano, harpsichord, and undertook arrangements. On Mellow Yellow, Donovan gave a nod to his friend Bert Jansch on "House of Jansch", marking the third Donovan album in a row that paid tribute to the British folk personage. The introspective ruminations feature sparse instrumentation that highlights Donovan's guitar playing, singing, and lyrics. The peppier songs feature a diverse selection of instruments similar to Sunshine Superman and helped make a top 10 hit out of the title track on both sides of the Atlantic. Mickie Most's production and the arrangements of John Paul Jones accommodate these two divergent traits of Donovan's songwriting throughout Mellow Yellow. The contractual problems that prevented the release of Donovan's music in the UK led him to write such songs as the resigned "Writer in the Sun", where he contemplates the possibility of his own forced retirement from the music industry at the age of 20. On Mellow Yellow this is still evident in "Sunny South Kensington", " Museum" (originally recorded for the Sunshine Superman album and rerecorded for Mellow Yellow) and the title track, but is also tempered with world-weary observations of that scene ("Young Girl Blues"). Donovan's songs had previously illustrated his infatuation with an ability to define the mid-sixties pop music scene. The songs on Mellow Yellow represent a transition in Donovan's writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mob War: First between the Hickey and White organizations, then between White and the Pescatore family, and then a very short, bordering on Single-Stroke Battle version between Pescatore and Joe.Parental version with Maso and his idiot son Digger his attempt to put his own son in charge of Florida while everybody knows him to be totally incompetent leads him into a pointless war with Joe and many of his own gang switching sides, since Maso can no longer be trusted as leader after such a terrible decision.Joe's response is detailed in Kick the Son of a Bitch above.
