Introduction: More persons with dementia are residing in the community as many countries shift from residential care to home and community care. Although there are many forms of care and support available to avoid crisis situations and prolong community living, it remains unclear how these are valued by community-dwelling persons with dementia and their informal caregivers. Consolidating perspectives of persons with dementia and informal caregivers on care characteristics is a vital step in valuing care services. This study aims to prioritize care characteristics for community-dwelling persons with dementia and informal caregivers.
Methods: Six focus groups were conducted in the Netherlands with persons with dementia (n=23) and informal caregivers (n=20), including a ranking exercise prioritizing seven care and support characteristics from “most important” to “least important”, followed by a discussion about the prioritization. Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: The ranking exercise and discussion showed that persons with dementia favored In-home care, Help with daily activities, and Social activities, while informal caregivers favored Social activities, Information about dementia, Navigating the healthcare system, and Emotional support.
Discussion: This study created a method to capture persons with dementia and informal caregivers care priorities. Persons with dementia prioritized day-to-day activities, while informal caregivers preferred assistance with organizing care and coping with caregiving.
Climate change in Southeast Asia has been becoming a threat to agricultural production, food security, ecological stability, and sustainable development. Realizing the ongoing climate change issues, ASEAN Member States (AMS) together with international and national research agencies, and the private sector further continue working hand-in-hand to promote Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices to increase the resilience of the agriculture sector to the changing climate. From this background, the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network (ASEAN-CRN) Workshop on Promoting CSA Practices was held from 27-28 October 2015 at the Sheraton Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The two-day workshop served as way forward to promote the prioritized best CSA practices among AMS.
The workshop is led by the Thailand Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) through its Department of Agriculture (DOA) in its capacity as the current chair of the ASEAN-CRN, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) of Vietnam as host. The German-ASEAN Programme on Response to Climate Change (GAP-CC) – implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat, provided support for this event, along with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services Mike Ellis announced, in Edmonton on March 25, 2026, new action to strengthen supervision of repeat offenders and protect Albertans from dangerous criminals.
The electronic monitoring program is expanding to strengthen supervision of repeat offenders and give victims real-time alerts when their safety may be at risk.
Budget 2026 invests $4.1 million over three years to activate new victim notification capabilities and expand the program across the province. Participating victims will receive immediate alerts if an offender breaches a court-ordered boundary, enters a restricted area or comes near their location. This expansion puts victims first and strengthens enforcement of court-ordered conditions.
The program provides 24-7 round-the-clock supervision of offenders subject to court-ordered conditions. Offenders are required to wear a GPS tracking device monitored by Alberta Correctional Services. The program enforces court-ordered inclusion and exclusion zones, helping keep offenders away from victims’ homes, workplaces and other protected locations.
Also in attendance at the news conference was Kim Ruse, CEO, FearIsNotLove Calgary. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)

Alberta’s Minister of Education and Childcare Demetrios Nicolaides introduced, in Edmonton on Monday, November 3, 2025, legislation to update the Education Act.
Alberta’s classrooms are becoming increasingly complex, as more students join classrooms across the province with a range of learning needs, behavioral challenges and language barriers. Spotting these complex learning needs or struggles with reading and math early helps ensure every child receives the support they need to succeed.
To meet this challenge head on, Alberta’s government is proposing amendments to the Education Act that will prioritize reading and math screeners and ensure students that need extra help get the attention they need as early as possible. The amendments would require school boards and independent early childhood services (ECS) operators to:
- Conduct reading and math screenings for all students in kindergarten to Grade 3.
- Share screening results with parents to keep families informed and involved.
- Provide screening data to the department and make results available to the Ministry of Education and Childcare.
Also speaking at the news conference was Michael McMann, president, College of Alberta School Superintendents. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)
Residential painting in Denver CO refers to professional painting services designed specifically for homes, including both interior and exterior surfaces. Unlike commercial painting, which focuses on large-scale or industrial properties, residential painting prioritizes detail, craftsmanship, and personalized service tailored to individual homeowners. It covers everything from repainting a living room to refinishing kitchen cabinets or protecting a home’s exterior siding from Colorado’s harsh weather.
A key distinction between residential and commercial painting lies in the scale, materials, and client expectations. Residential painting involves working in lived-in spaces—often while families are still present—so timing, cleanliness, and customer interaction play a much larger role. Professional residential painters are trained not only in paint application but in managing the homeowner experience from start to finish.
For homeowners in Denver, painting is more than just cosmetic. Fresh paint enhances curb appeal, reflects personal style, and protects surfaces from the elements. With Denver’s high-altitude sun exposure, frequent freeze-thaw cycles, and low humidity, homes here endure unique environmental stress. That’s why residential painting in Denver CO demands a strategic approach—using premium exterior paints with UV resistance and interior finishes that hold up under dry indoor air conditions.
Common home painting services include interior wall and ceiling painting, baseboards and trim, cabinetry, stairwells, and full exterior house painting. Other popular requests involve fence and deck staining, front door refinishing, and accent wall creation. Professional residential painters in Denver also offer prep services like drywall repair, caulking, power washing, and priming to ensure long-lasting results.
In a city where architectural styles range from historic bungalows to modern townhomes, the role of residential painting is both protective and transformative. Done right, it extends the life of your home’s surfaces while enhancing the space where you live every day.

THE JOHNSON COLLECTION - A Private Collection for Public Good
thejohnsoncollection.org/the-collection/
Sharing the art it stewards with communities across the country is The Johnson Collection’s essential purpose and propels our daily work. Much more than a physical place, TJC seeks to be a presence in American art, prioritizing access over location. Since 2013, the collection’s touring exhibitions have been loaned twenty-five times, placed without fee in partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.2 million visitors. In its showcase of over 1,000 objects, TJC’s website functions as a digital museum, available anywhere and anytime.
What began as an interest in paintings by Carolina artists in 2002 has grown to encompass over 1,400 objects with provenances that span the centuries and chronicle the cultural evolution of the American South.
Today, The Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. From William D. Washington’s The Burial of Latané to Malvin Gray Johnson’s Roll Jordan Roll, the collection embraces the region’s rich history and confronts its complexities, past and present.
.The contributions of women artists, ranging from Helen Turner—only the fourth woman elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design in 1921—to Alma Thomas—the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at a major national museum in 1972—are accorded overdue attention, most notably in TJC's most recent publication and companion exhibition, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. Landmark works by American artists of African descent such as Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Leo Twiggs, and Hale Woodruff pay homage to their makers' barrier-defying accomplishments. Modern paintings, prints, collages, and sculpture created by internationally renowned artists associated with the experimental arts enclave of Black Mountain College, including Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ilya Bolotowsky, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Robert Rauschenberg highlight the North Carolina school's geographic proximity to the collection's home.
Hailed by The Magazine Antiques as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," The Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. To that end, the collection's ambitious publication and exhibition strategies extend far beyond a single city's limit or a territorial divide.
Since 2012, TJC has produced four significant scholarly books—thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated investigations of Southern art time periods, artists, and themes: Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South (2012); From New York to Nebo: The Artistic Journey of Eugene Thomason (2014); Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection (2015); and Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection (2018). These volumes are accompanied by traveling exhibitions that have been loaned without fee to partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors.
Smaller curated presentations rotate at the collection's hometown exhibition space, TJC Gallery. Individual objects are regularly made available for critical exhibitions such as La Biennale di Venezia, Afro-Atlantic Histories, Outliers and American Vanguard Art, Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College, 1933-1957, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful, Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition, and Bold, Cautious, True: Walt Whitman and American Art of the Civil War Era and featured in important publications and catalogues, including The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Art & Architecture, and The Civil War and American Art.
In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored The Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction. The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive Officer.'

Downtown Spartanburg has even been designated as a cultural district by the South Carolina Arts Commission. Within the cultural district, you can walk to and enjoy world-class art galleries, studios, music venues, breweries, culinary arts, local literature publishers, coffee shops, libraries, museums, and more. Regardless of when you visit, you’re likely to encounter live music in the streets, featuring jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, or beach music.

Every Mind Matters: The Many Dimensions of Mental Illness
The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?

Regardless of when you visit, you’re likely to encounter live music in the streets, featuring jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, or beach music.

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Committee Chair Sarah Grampp (Kansas City Center, ZKC) and National Legislative Committee Vice Chair Allison Schwaegel led a vital briefing today on the current state of mental health and the Union's legislative push for reform. The session addressed the professional realities of the workforce and how current medical standards influence the ability of controllers to seek care.
Grampp detailed the provisions of the Mental Health in Aviation Act, outlining how the legislation aims to modernize the medical clearance process. By advocating for changes that remove the stigma associated with seeking support, NATCA is working to ensure that the health of the workforce is prioritized without compromising the career longevity of safety professionals. The Union remains committed to improving the special issuance medical process, allowing controllers to regain their medical clearances more efficiently while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Every Mind Matters: The Many Dimensions of Mental Illness
The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?
