Dad-of-four handed ‘nightmare’ diagnosis after suffering memory problems for 20 years
A dad-of-four has been handed a devastating diagnosis after he suffered memory problems for 20 years. Phil Burdekin kept forgetting appointments and missing turns when driving lorries. At first, it was easy to dismiss it as stress-related - but over the decades it got worse and the 63-year-old from Southport got increasingly concerned. Speaking to The Liverpool Echo , he said: "I was getting worried - I didn't know what it was, and then my wife got fed up of me asking the same questions again and again, so she said I'd better go to the doctor." Mr Burdekin described the diagnosis of young-onset dementia as a “nightmare” and has said suffering with the condition has left him “suicidal” as he struggles to take part in life now. He added: "It was very stressful. I cried a lot. It was killing me not knowing anything." The father-of-four said that he has felt 'suicidal' at times ( Image: Andrew Teebay Liverpool Echo) Mr Burdekin was only 55 at the time when a … [Read more...] about Dad-of-four handed ‘nightmare’ diagnosis after suffering memory problems for 20 years

PUTRAJAYA: A 25-year-old man will have to serve 20 years in jail and be whipped 19 times for sexually assaulting 12 female children and making or producing pornography.

A three-member panel comprising Justices Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said, Datuk M. Gunalan and Datuk Nordin Hassan subsequently struck out Mohd Amir's appeal.

Ask Amy: Our 34-year-old daughter quit her job and moved back home
Dear Amy: My daughter is 34 years old, single, with no children. She’s intelligent and well educated. Six months ago, she quit her job in another state and moved into our house. We welcomed her, but it was supposed to be temporary. She seemed reluctant to come here to begin with, saying that she didn’t want to intrude into our lives. However, since arriving, she hasn’t even been looking for a job. She says that she doesn’t know what she wants to do or what her abilities are. She’s been sitting around on her phone all day and every day. She gets depressed about her life, but she’s not doing anything to try to change or improve her life. My husband doesn’t want to push her. I feel that the longer we give her a free ride, the worse her life is going to be. What should we do? — A Concerned Mother Dear Concerned: No able-bodied 34-year-old should quit a job without having another job or full-time educational opportunity lined up.

21-Year-Old Russian Soldier Gets Life for Ukraine War Crimes
A 21-year-old Russian soldier was found guilty of war crimes for killing an unarmed civilian and handed a life sentence by a Ukrainian court on Monday, in the first verdict of its kind since the invasion began three months ago. The ruling came as President Volodymyr Zelensky warned elites gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos that slow-walking military aid to Ukraine was costing thousands of lives, as he called for more weapons and even tougher sanctions against Moscow. And as ferocious battles raged in eastern Ukraine, where Russia pummeled cities and towns in a bid to expand its hold on the Donbass region, a Russian diplomat in Geneva quit his post in protest over the war telling colleagues: “Never have I been so ashamed of my country.” In a Kyiv courtroom, Russian serviceman Vadim Shishimarin looked on from a glass defence box as was sentenced in a trial followed around the world — likely the first of many as Ukraine investigates thousands of alleged war crimes. … [Read more...] about 21-Year-Old Russian Soldier Gets Life for Ukraine War Crimes
