What You Should FIND OUT ABOUT Gambling

Gambling is normally the wagering of something of value or money on an unpredictable occasion having an uncertain result, with the main reason for winning either money or other goods. Gambling requires three elements for this to be considered legitimate: risk, consideration, and a reward. The primary problem with many forms of gambling, though, is that people treat it as a purely materialistic act instead of a business opportunity. Exactly like in business, you should consider the risks involved in gambling before you can fully benefit from it. There are actually times when gambling is an effective business practice.

Problem gambling is one type of gambling. An issue gambler may take part in gambling because he is suffering from a mental illness. There are many different types of mental illnesses out there, but anxiety and depression are two of the most common. So long as the gambler understands that he has a problem, there’s a slim chance that he’ll ever be stopped by the law. The problem gambling disorder in America, though, ought to be given more attention.

Instant lotteries are probably the most infamous form 카지노 룰렛 of gambling ever sold. Instant lotteries are online games where people place bets within a very short timeframe. For example, someone might place a bet on a game of bingo right after they win a lottery draw. These games, however, are illegal in many states due to high possibility of fraud.

The next popular form of gambling may be the use of slots and video poker machines. Slots are the lowest-risk gambling games available, however they still require careful management. It is possible to lose big money while playing slot machines, which explains why many gamblers lose lots of money while playing with the slots. One method to increase your likelihood of winning is by going through the casino’s self-help guide. Most casinos offer an internal guide for newcomers that will help them learn all about the casino games.

With gambling income, it is critical to remember that gambling income is subject to federal tax liability. Gambling income is characterized by gains from gambling activities that exceed the full total of your gross receipts during the period of a year. If you do not have any dependents, then you are treated as a sole income-producing entity for tax purposes. When filing your federal tax return, it’s essential that you take note of all your gambling income, to be able to properly calculate the volume of deductions that you’re entitled to.

The IRS defines gambling winnings and losses because the level of your wins and losses from gambling activities. In addition to your winnings and losses from gambling activities, you need to likewise incorporate your winnings from sales of stocks along with other commercial property, rental income, dividends received from your own commercial property, any personal property owned by you, along with other net profits from your gambling activities. Gambling winnings and losses must be reported on your federal income tax return as follows: winnings and losses, less your wagers, as well as your share of losses with wins. You need to include all winnings and losses, even though they were won about the same machine.

A different type of gambling is known as betting on racing, wagering on dogs, or wagering on college football. All types of gambling involve a wager or investment in a product, service, or a business. Much like regular gambling, there are some differences between the various types of gambling and their reporting requirements. Regular gambling identifies slot machines, bingo, table tennis, horse races, etc. While online gambling does not involve any wagers or investments. Some states even have specific reporting requirements for online gambling, as all the proceeds from gambling online must be reported to the state’s tax department.

One form of gambling that is popular for entertainment and for business transactions is known as gaming. Gaming involves wagers, usually by way of credit cards, or other payment mechanisms such as checks. Most gambling activities, including gaming, involve chance and the probability of an outcome. Whether this outcome occurs is purely random, so there is absolutely no guarantee of what the outcome will be. Many businesses, such as lottery operations, work with roulette wheels in their facilities so that they can maximize the money made by the clients. Gambling outcomes are dependant on how much the house has to lose or gain prior to the designated time for payout; exactly the same applies to a casino that decides to spin a roulette wheel.

Quilts and Marquetry

A week ago my wife and I went to the  Pacific International Quilt Show.  It is just amazing how those artists take fabric and thread and create landscapes, portraits, abstracts and other amazing pictures.  These aren’t your grandma’s keep you warm scrap quilts.  These are fine works of art.

As I left the show all I could think about was how much I’d love to create work that would move someone else as much as these quilts moved me.

Now I am not a quilter or fabric artist.  I work in wood where the colors are variations on brown and texture is in the grain patterns.  In wood you don’t get the same vibrant colors as there are in fabric but still there is line, shading, light values, composition and perspective.  I have often thought that many of the same design considerations that exist in a fabric picture must exist in a wood picture.  In fact I’ve seen some marquetry work that was every bit as moving as these quilts were.

I did have an interesting experience in the vendor’s area of the show – I found a marquetry tool that I have been looking for.  Wood veneers can be cut with either a scroll saw or a knife.  I’ve been wanting to learn how to cut a picture with a knife.  As I was wandering around the vendor’s booths there was a scissor vendor with the #3 scalpel handle I needed.  Yup, one of the knives used to cut veneer is a scalpel with a #11 blade (same shape as a Xacto but thinner).  So I bought it and then found the cutting mat I needed to go along with it.

Lately I’ve been feeling the push to just do some stuff.  I tend to mostly just sit around and think about things – I am really good at “big picture” thinking.  Not so good at getting of my rear and doing things.  Like my shop – it’s a disaster and there are a ton of things it needs to be the perfect marquetry workshop.  Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what I need to do to “redo” or “fix up” my shop.  I need a new work bench, an air compressor, a lathe, a tape dispenser, a veneer storage and …

But after the show I decided enough of thinking and time to start doing – with whatever tools and fixtures I’ve got on hand.  Turns out I’ve got a bunch of tools and supplies.

In the last week I’ve started on three marquetry projects: Knife cut tulips, a tissue box and a chess board.  These are cut and glued down but still need to be sanded and have finish applied.  Here is a picture of the tulips:

Knife cut Tulip Marquetry

I did two of these tulips.  This was an exercise in technique and learning to cut veneer with a knife – plus a good excuse to use my new scalpels.  I won’t list the flaws I see in the work but I did learn a lot about knife cutting and I really like the results.  I did take pictures of the cutting process and plan to write a post on how I did this.

I went to the marquetry workshop this last weekend and showed them my tulips and got a lot of great suggestions on how to improve my technique.

They were doing two projects at the workshop – a marquetry tissue box holder and a chess board.  Two of the members gave instructions and demos on how to do each project.  Yesterday I made my version of the tissue box.

The turtle is a Hawaiian petroglyph and the box is destined for our Hawaiian themed guest bathroom.

Turtle Tissue Box

I made a start on the chess board.  The chess board is destined to be a gift so you won’t get to see it until after Christmas.

Chessboard in progress

There you have it – I did stuff.  Might not be fine art but it is mine and with that comes a sense of pride in having actually done something.  Maybe the next piece will be a moving artistic statement.

Writing process

This hasn’t been the best of weeks.  Wednesday I felt a cold starting to come on and it got worse.  Today is the first day I am starting to feel better and fear I’ll have to go to work tomorrow.  You’ll notice that I’ve changed my WordPress theme and I have a new picture in the header.  It was just time for a change – I’ve been using the old layout for three years and I think this new layout is cleaner.

Yes, that is me, in my hiking gear looking out over the hills were Heather and I hike.  This one was taken a couple of years ago at Russian Ridge.  I kind of like the picture.  Let me know what you think.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I am working on a book of poems, well today’s post will be short because of that book.  I’ve been working steadily at it and am now about 11 poems into it plus a couple of pages of prose.  It’s hard to describe but there are things that take on an energy of their own and require that something be done.  In my heart I am feeling an urgency to complete this work that is filling my soul.

At first I was going to just write a short book of poems and essays about my experience with prostate cancer.  As I wrote, one poem popped out of my brain about my mother and her death from pancreatic cancer. Now my little book has two parts and nearly two pages of poems titles and various outlines.

I think I can blame the whole process on a recent shift in my writing habits.  My habit had been to sit down on a Sunday afternoon and crank out an essay on whatever subject popped into my head.  In the last few months that has been harder to do as I have churned through the easy topics.  Also, I’ve found myself thinking and writing more in verse and poetry.

I wanted to make a shift so I could keep writing prose.  My solution was to allow myself more time to write and research a post.  The plan was to do some research on a Tuesday evening, write on a Thursday and post on a Sunday.  The first result of that was my three-part post on the California drought (that was supposed to be one post, but it got out of hand).

Can’t really say what exactly happened but in the last couple of weeks, I’ve shifted almost all of my writing time to my little book.  Some of the contributing factors include:

  • A long-held desire to write a book
  • A recent shift in my thinking of writing prose to writing free verse poetry
  • A need to tell my cancer story in non-traditional way
  • A reminder of the pain and sorrow around my mother’s death

Let’s just say that these plus the feeling that I need to take my writing in new directions gave me the energy to shift and do something different.  It’s not a process I fully understand but know I need to respect its calling.

I’ve no idea what direction the final work on the book will take or what it means for this little weekly blog.  It’s possible I might post a poem or two from the book instead of writing a post and it’s likely that I’ll be turning to a shorter post on Sundays so I’ll have time for the book.  But, I do find the discipline of posting every week to be valuable.

It is the discipline of regular writing that has given me the confidence that I can, through effort and persistence, write a book.

Whether or not anyone will want to read it is a topic for another day.

Till next week,

    Changed your format I see – you prefer this one?

  2. LuAnn says:

    I like the new look and understand how you feel about going a different direction with your writing. I have been feeling the same for some time. I am still debating what to do about it.

    • Andrew says:

      Thanks – changing direction is always a bit tricky to figure out. The nice thing is that if you go one direction and don’t like it, you can change and go a different way. I never would have guessed that I’d be writing this much poetry.

Sequestering continues during the pandemic, and it is a time when I'm so happy to have a functioning home studio! Another new album is already ready, uploaded this evening and sure to be available at all the main streaming sites within a few days.

The suite was written based on titles pulled from the lyric of a tune I've been playing since I was a kid, and most of my friends will know which one. These are all new songs though, written in the spring of 2019 and recorded now in early April:
1. I'm Gonna Try
2. I Don't Know
3. So Sad
4. What I've Been Missing
5. So All Alone
6. No One
7. A Heavenly Dream
8. Strange As It Seems
9. Someday We'll Meet
10. Sweet Little Things
11. Where Can You Be?

March 22, 2020

Cancellations left and right! But the Virtual Concert is a concept a-birthing and I'll play one tonight at 7:30 for the Copenhagen Listening Room. Better still, Google Didn't Know is now in release and is showing up on the streaming sites. Here's a link to the original release point, where you can download the album at the best price.

March 16, 2020

Now in the time of Coronavirus I am still booked to play the next couple of Saturdays at Gröna Dalen. We shall see if we're able to do them. But! I can report a new album already uploaded, and due to become available to you sometime this week. Here's the cover:

Dec. 4, 2019

I've just finished mixing the last tracks for my next album, Just a Little Bit Confused, to be released in a week or two at CD Baby and soon to be heard on all the streaming sites.

 Nov. 22, 2019

The nights at Gröna Dalen have been nice, and it's continuing in December after two weeks off coming up right now. Dec. 7 my guest is the beautiful singer Sarah Lundin, the 14th is my duo with Amanda Ginsburg, the 21st a fine young saxophonist Daniel Garhton, and the 28th my very own son the brilliant jazz- and free- improvising guitarist, Niklas Fite. Gröndalsvägen 40 in Gröndal, exactly at the Tvärbana stop there.

Meanwhile, I'll be playing with the choir in Gottsunda Kyrka in Uppsala tomorrow the 23rd, performing with Sarah Lundin at Kulturum (Andreaskyrkan), Hamng. 42 in Vaxholm, singing my original Christmas songs at Club Jambalaya in Gamla Stan Dec. 6, and performing with Amanda Ginsburg at Larry's Corner Dec. 13.

And teaching, lots of teaching!

Oct. 28, 2019

Just noticed I didn't have a News page! The news at the moment is that we're gonna try out a Saturday evening thing at Gröna Dalen, the great neighborhood  place in Gröndal, my lovely neighborhood just on the edge of Stockholm.
November 2 it's me and singer Irene Lundberg. November 9 I'll have the wonderful Berlin tenor saxophonist Birgitta Flick. November 16 might wind up being a solo night. Everyone I've asked so far is already working. I've got a couple other friends in mind though...

What’s In A Name?

Here is my lovely husband -  Rev Robert Almond, aka Bob

And this is the Natwest Bank in Brixton

natwest brixton

Finally  we have discovered what happened to our money!

Thank you to Gill, who works in the Brixton Branch and has just got back from her holiday. She phoned this morning to apologise that nobody had contacted us Saturday, and asked for the details again and went off to “Stick my head into the metal box and see if your envelope is stuck inside”

She has just rung back this afternoon to say that they did get the envelope out last Monday, but would not credit either of the two cheques inside to us, because one of them was in the wrong name! It said Bob not Robert.

She then apologised that nobody had phoned us immediately to point out the error. She apologised that we had been through so much hassle because of it. She said she would return the cheque and maybe the original issuer could correct this.

I have to say that Gill could not have been more helpful – and beats the three people from the Natwest National Helpdesk hands down for politeness and efficiency. She apologised no less than three times – which is three times more than any of the others [particularly the chap this morning who said it was unlikely to be sorted for at least five days!]

God bless you Gill, whoever you are!

[Bob has managed to bank cheques in the past issued to his various aliases …Mr, Rev, Robert, Bob, RH … so we don’t know why this one hit a glitch]

  1. Wonderful news! I know that there have been a lot of very insistent prayers going upwards!!

  2. Thank heavens they located it and there was a fraud free answer for it's little foray into never never land albeit at the hands of someone with more than a little pedantism - would that they were always that thorough although I guess that is asking a little too much :)

  3. How refreshing to receive an apology these days. You must be very relieved to have solved this distressing mystery and I well remember my banking days when a little common sense and efficiency would have been used. How times have changed.

Always glad to hear from you - thanks for stopping by!

Io faccio i fanghi tutto l’anno!

BELLEZZA – Il Facocero potrà sembrare un animale sgradevole e puzzolente, ma si copre di fango per proteggersi dalle punture degli insetti e dal caldo.

Looking at this photo, there may be reason to doubt that mud baths are the beauty secret they’re claimed to be, but warthogs find they’re wonderful for keeping stinging insects at bay.

Congress snubs MEA's clarification on Doklam

ANI | Updated: Jan 18, 2018 22:54 IST

New Delhi [India], January 18 (ANI): The Congress on Thursday downplayed the statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) giving clarification over the reports of Chinese troops occupying Doklam plateau.

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala took to Twitter and said that the MEA, in the statement, did not say a word about the alleged construction by Chinese Army in Doklam.

He further asked the Ministry to be more precise and said, "Plz be specific if Chinese have constructed concrete posts,seven helipads, new trenches & placed several dozen armoured vehicles in Doklam".

Earlier in the day, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) dismissed reports of Chinese troops regathering near Doklam, saying that the status quo at the face-off site has not been altered.

"Our attention has been drawn to some reports that question the accuracy of the position stated by the Government in respect to the situation in Doklam. Subsequently, in response to repeated questions about any change in the status quo at the face-off site, Government had stated that there was no basis for such imputations", Raveesh Kumar, the official spokesperson of the MEA, said in a statement.

"Government would once again reiterate that the status quo at the face-off site has not been altered. Any suggestion to the contrary is inaccurate and mischievous", he added.

His remarks come in the wake of recent media reports about China apparently taking control of the northern side of the Doklam Plateau.

According to the reports, China has taken some infrastructure development activities in the disputed region.

Earlier, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat had said that the infrastructure development by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) in the Doklam Plateau is temporary in nature.

"As far as Doklam is concerned PLA soldiers are there in a part of the area, although not in numbers that we saw them in initially. They have carried out some infrastructure development, which is mostly temporary in nature", General Rawat had said during a Facebook interactive session at the Raisina Dialogue in response to a question on Doklam.

Last year, a face-off situation had arisen in the Doklam region between Indian and Chinese troops that was later resolved following diplomatic discussions between both the nations.

The face-off, which lasted for over three months, was called off after both sides arrived at an understanding for the disengagement of their border personnel.(ANI)

Glass half empty or half full, you get what you choose to see.

kb_Wall_Josephine-Spirit_of_Winter Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, says one.

Are you a glass half full or half empty type of person?

When something doesn’t happen as you wanted it to, or expected it to…how do you choose to take it?

What say you, dear friend? 🙂

27 thoughts on “Glass half empty or half full, you get what you choose to see.

  1. Well as you know, from my recent event…at first I thought it was empty and then I decided it was mostly full. Our initial reaction is not always from a positive perception, but fortunately I decided to flip it. Now its so full it is overflowing. 😀

  2. I fluctuate between the two. Pessimists have called me an optimist and some ( mainly cynicists) have called me negative. I naturally lean towards pessimism but as a therapist I work so much with helping others by reframing their perceptions and attitudes. It would be very gratifiying to discover that every element of the life journey is ultimately geared towards evolution and the highest good.

    1. It can be hard at times to see the good , especially when we are inundated with negativity where ever we turn…in the news, on the radio, in television…even on FB (lol)!

      You know there is this saying: There is a silver lining in every cloud? I believe that to be true…though sometimes it’s hard to see it 🙂

  3. I always see half full. I try not to dwell on what I don’t have, but to be thankful for what I do have.
    Have a beautiful day, Shree!

  4. Always my glass is half full, we are often given those moments in life that make us question.. or have us lost in sadness or disappointments… But then if we didn’t have these moments in life when would we know we were Happy or full of joy? Life is a series of positive and negative, how we deal with each of them shows us that life can always be in balance.. Learning that even in the sorrowful corners of our lives are the lessons that are perhaps the most profound in our learning and growth for our souls development.. for me personally my own enemies have been my greatest teachers without whom I would not be who I am today…

    Thought provoking post Shree……. Love and Blessings ~Sue

    1. Ah Sue! Loved your comment and so true. I agree too that without the one we won’t know the other. It’s also true that how we perceive things makes a lot of difference…

    1. Hey Peter! It’s definitely a good way to look at things though most times we need to remind ourselves and consciously do so! I know I have to remind myself sometimes too 🙂

Awesomeness is in the sharing of thoughts :)

The Kitten and the Butterfly by Sema Martin
(A3) 16.5 x 11.7 inches, Pan Pastel, Polychromos, and Luminance on Winsor & Newton Extra Smooth Bristol Board

Welcoming the Spring of 2019, this drawing is created from pure imagination and love of spring. The warm tones and bright daffodils show the warm spring day. The new kitten seeing a butterfly for the first time among newly bloomed daffodils in a Welsh country garden. I wanted to convey the connections between the two species discovering each other. The kitten, being completely consumed by amazement and curiosity at the sight of another living creature unlike himself. Nothing else matters, only this moment. I was inspired by the newness of spring and the surrounding Welsh countryside I live in. This spring image will be one of four produced this year, one for every season.

About Sema:

Entirely self-taught, Sema Martin made the leap from a NASA Engineer to Fine Art Artist in 2016. Her love of nature and wildlife brought her to the Welsh countryside where she now has a studio in the heart of the Brecon Beacons and a thriving International Pet Portrait Business.

Air Force Air Advisor – Afghanistan by Chere Jackson
8"x10" Prismacolor on Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper. Reference provided by the subject (Michael B. Jackson) and used with permission.

Most of my pieces have been completed with specific people in mind because I find that the most joy and satisfaction for me comes from creating something meaningful to a specific person. This piece is no different in that I wanted to draw something that would honor my husband for the sacrifices he makes on a daily basis for our family and our country. He has served over 20 years in the United States Air Force and will be retiring from active duty service in December. This portrait was done to commemorate one of the most exciting and dangerous moments in his military career and to celebrate his retirement at the end of this year.

About Chere:

Chere Anne Jackson is an emerging artist from the United States, best known for subject matter that reflects a certain richness in color, dramatic angle, or intriguing light. She captures the beauty, mystery, and humor of everyday life and allowing it to resonate through each new piece. .

Chins Up by Pamela Clements
10" x 8", Prismacolor and Verithin pencils on light grey pastelmat. Client’s photos used with permission.

Did you know that chinchillas have the densest fur of any mammal living on land? Otters hold the prize for water mammals. A little research done on the new subject of my latest pet portrait revealed numerous enlightening details and better understanding. Meet Teddy and Gwen, two beloved pet chinchillas commissioned as a graduation pet portrait for a friend of my son. The challenge of capturing personalities of a pet with the unique characteristics of a chinchilla differs greatly from the more familiar cat or dog portraits. Putting Teddy and Gwen together allowed two different viewpoints which help define the chinchilla while also hinting at the personality underneath all that velvety fur. I further individualized the two by using primarily warm grays for Teddy and a cool grays for Gwen giving each their own specialized fur coat. I used to tell my students that pets should be petted, meaning fur covered and no scales or leather skin which students love to counter with their numerous stories of snakes, lizards and turtles. Teddy and Gwen would prove my point, I think, much to their delight and mine.

About Pamela:

Pamela Clements retired from teaching K-8 art in 2018 returning full time to her lifelong love of drawing. Camera in hand, she walks the woods, state and local parks to discover the numerous subjects of her nature still life's and the love of animals in her pet portraits.

Proud and Independent by Anja Fuhrbach
11x15 inches, Prismacolor on Clairefontaine Pastelmat800

This was our first Saluki "Kohaylan", who came to us when I was 16 years old, and who changed my life completely in several ways. One point is that he was the reason why I started drawing. The reference photo for this portrait was taken by me in 1991. I always delayed drawing it because it was so special for me. It shows his aloof and snobbish character perfectly, which it is typical for Salukis, the breed standard for these very independent and reserved sighthounds says: "The expression should be dignified and gentle with faithful and farseeing eyes." For many years, I knew that I could not draw good enough to do him justice. He had a very special character and such beautiful coat colors. Now finally, after gaining enough practice and changing the light situation from a cold winter scenery to a very natural, classic portrait look which shows his real colors better, I finally was confident enough to start this artwork. In the end, I am happy with the result. It’s been worth the wait.

About Anja:

Anja is a german artist and the owner of the colored pencil shop (
Her favorite theme are animals, she loves to draw them, developing their expression and character with careful, gentle strokes and she is fascinated by the detail that can be achieved with colored pencils.

Heading South

After a mildly frustrating day yesterday I’m up early for a drive to London and an 8am meeting with a new client. I’m helping them grow their business from 2 units to four and then potentially helping them acquire franchisees. One of my other clients has scaled back the number of days which I was working for them so this has enabled me to take on this client and one other and still leave me with time for other projects.

One_Hundred_Years_of_SolitudeConsidered to be among the best books ever written, God bless Gabriel Garcia Marquez for writing 100 Years of Solitude. It’s no wonder he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1982 for the book. I really loved the book and how it had so many stories that eventually streamline into one long story.

This book is about the struggles that a family’s lineage encountered over a century, the most profound being solitude. I particularly fancied it’s dark magic. The correct literary word for that style is ‘Magical Realism.’ Look it up. In fact, Gabriel has since been considered as being one of the main fathers of the literary ‘Magical Realism.’

This book will give you an idea of the importance of a people’s history. It will make you realize how important the past is as it determines the present. It will make you cherish the present as it determines the future generations. If you have a brave heart, trust me when I say that you will appreciate this enchanting tale. If you aren’t brave enough, this is what will make your heart solid. Here are my best quotes from the book, enjoy!

1. The best friend a person has is one who has just died.

2. ‘‘She had fallen asleep without putting out the candle and had awakened surrounded by flames… Since then the grandmother carried her from town to town, putting her to bed for twenty cents in order to make value of the burned house. According to the girl’s calculations, she still had ten years of seventy men per night ….  He felt the irresistible need to love her and protect her. At dawn, worn out by insomnia and fever, he made the calm decision to marry her in order to free her from the despotism of her grandmother and to enjoy all the nights of satisfaction that she would give the seventy men. But at 10 o’clock in the morning, the girl had left town…”

3. The secret of a good old age is simply an honourable pact with solitude.

4. To a neighbour woman who brought her a set of candles so that she could light up the picture of her lost lover with them, she said with an enigmatic security: “The only candle that will make him come is always lighted”

5. “Her heart froze with terror as she connected her daughter’s evening baths with Mauricio Babilonia. She asked the mayor to station a guard in the backyard because she had the impression that hens were being stolen. That night the guard brought down Mauricio Babilonia as he was lifting up the tiles to get into the bathroom where Meme was waiting for him, naked and trembling with love … A bullet lodged in his spinal column reduced him to bed for the rest of his life. He died of old age in solitude, without a moan, without a protest, without a single moment of betrayal, tormented by memories that did not give him a moment’s peace, and ostracized as a chicken thief.”

6. The anxiety of falling in love cannot find repose except in bed.

7. “Aureliano thought without saying so that the evil was not in the world but in some hidden place in the mysterious heart of Petra … Intrigued by that enigma, he dug so deeply into her sentiments so that in search of interest he found love, because by trying to make her love him he ended up falling in love with her.” (Oh this is so Beautiful, I love it 🙂

8. “Madly in love after so many years of sterile complicity, they enjoyed the miracle of loving each other as much at the table as in bed, and they grew to be so happy that even when they were two worn-out old people they kept on blooming like little children and playing together like dogs.”

9. One minute of reconciliation is worth more than a whole life of friendship.

10. “The body of the twins were placed in identical coffins, and then it could be seen that once more in death they had become as identical as they had been until adolescence … In the tumult of the last moment, the sad drunkards who carried them out of the house got the coffins mixed up and buried them in the wrong graves …”

11. “He replaced the curtain and the canopy of the bed with new velvet … At six in the morning they came out naked from the bedroom, drained the pool and filled it with champagne. They jumped in en-masse, swimming like birds flying in the sky … He remained wrapped up in himself … The children had become tired and gone in a troupe to the bedroom, where they tore down the curtains to dry themselves, and in the disorder they broke the rock crystal mirror … an destroyed the canopy of the bed in the tumult of lying down. When Arcadio came from the bathroom he found them sleeping in a naked heap in the shipwrecked bedroom. Inflamed, not so much because of the damage as because of the disgust and pity that he felt for himself in the emptiness of the saturnalia, he armed himself with an ecclesiastical cat-o’nine-tails that he kept in the bottom of his trunk … He drove the children out of the house, howling like a mad man and whipping them without mercy as a person would not even have done to a pack of coyotes. He was done in, with an attack of asthma that lasted for several days and that gave him the look of a man on his deathbed.”

12. “Gaston was a pilot … On weekends he would pick her up where she lived … They began to love each other at an altitude of fifteen hundred feet in the Sunday air of the moors, and they felt all the closer together as the beings on earth grew more and more minute … He wasn’t only a fierce lover, with endless wisdom and imagination, but he was also, perhaps, the first man in the history of species who had made an emergency landing and had come close to killing himself and his sweetheart simple to make love in a field of violets.”

Can’t get enough of Gabriel’s beautiful ability of manoeuvring words. It’s now fourty-four years since its first publication, do I really have to insist any further on why you should read this book? If  I were you, I would read it now if not in six years. the gist will be for those who will read it when it’s fifty and subsequently a hundred years old 🙂 As for me, am moving on to his other book, ‘The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor.’ Which I am yet to purchase.

Skip to main contentSkip to main content

Corticobasal degeneration

Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare condition that can cause gradually worsening problems with movement, speech, memory and swallowing.

It's often also called corticobasal syndrome (CBS).

CBD is caused by increasing numbers of brain cells becoming damaged or dying over time.

Most cases of CBD develop in adults aged between 50 and 70.

CBD symptoms

The symptoms of CBD get gradually worse over time. They are very variable and many people only have a few of them.

Symptoms can include:

  • difficulty controlling your limb on one side of the body (a "useless" hand)
  • muscle stiffness
  • shaking (tremors), jerky movements and spasms (dystonia)
  • problems with balance and co-ordination
  • slow and slurred speech
  • symptoms of dementia, such as memory and visual problems
  • slow, effortful speech
  • difficulty swallowing

One limb is usually affected at first, before spreading to the rest of the body. The rate at which the symptoms progress varies widely from person to person.

Read more about the symptoms of CBD.

What causes CBD?

CBD occurs when brain cells in certain parts of the brain are damaged as a result of a build-up of a protein called tau.

The surface of the brain (cortex) is affected, as well as a deep part of the brain called the basal ganglia.

Tau occurs naturally in the brain and is usually broken down before it reaches high levels. In people with CBD, it isn't broken down properly and forms harmful clumps in brain cells.

CBD has been linked to changes in certain genes, but these genetic links are weak and the risk to other family members is very low.

Diagnosing CBD

There's no single test for CBD. Instead, the diagnosis is based on the pattern of your symptoms. Your doctor will try to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as Parkinson's disease or a stroke.

You may need to have a brain scan to look for other possible causes of your symptoms, as well as tests of your memory, concentration and ability to understand language.

The diagnosis must be made or confirmed by a consultant with expertise in CBD. This will usually be a neurologist (a specialist in conditions affecting the brain and nerves).

Read more about how CBD is diagnosed.

Treatments for CBD

As someone with CBD can be affected in many different ways, treatment and care is best provided by a team of health and social care professionals working together. Treatments may include:

  • medication – to improve stiffness and muscle spasms, sleep and mood, pain or memory
  • physiotherapy – to help with movement and balance difficulties
  • speech and language therapy – to help with communication and swallowing problems
  • occupational therapy – to improve the skills and abilities needed for daily activities at home
  • palliative care and advanced care planning

Read more about how CBD is treated.

There is currently no treatment that has been shown to stop CBD getting gradually worse, although treatments can reduce many of the symptoms.

Good care and assistance can help someone with CBD be more independent and enjoy a better quality of life, but the condition will eventually put them at risk of serious complications.

CBD usually changes very slowly. Many people find it helpful to plan ahead with their doctors (GP and specialist) to make decisions about what to do in later stages of the illness.

Difficulty swallowing can cause choking, or inhaling food or liquid into the airways. This can lead to pneumonia, which can be life-threatening.

As a result of these complications, the average life expectancy for someone with CBD is around 6 to 8 years from when their symptoms start. However, this is only an average and CBD is very variable.

Information about you

If you have CBD, your clinical team will pass information about you on to the National Congenital Anomaly and Rare Diseases Registration Service (NCARDRS).

This helps scientists look for better ways to prevent and treat this condition. You can opt out of the register at any time.

There is a way to get around in the free version to access a few words every day. The search function is pretty much a waste of time as it only takes you to the alphabet and you have to scroll through every word.

Achiinto ,

You need account

The content itself with a free account can be accessed on Internet. This, making this app useless, as it needs you to get a paid account. Alternatively, get a browser app that can play flash and go to their website.

This is how stupid this app is.

I am so done with this ,

Membership only is not a good idea

I would recommend that you make the app a few dollars rather than having to be a member to use it. More people would purchase it.
