When Technology Remembers: Digital Health And Alzheimer ’s Disease
Gradual memory loss, cognitive decline, wandering off
to unknown places, being unable to dress in the morning: to live with dementia
and Alzheimer’s disease might be a heart-wrenching burden for both patients and
their loved ones. As the global population ages, and the number of individuals
suffering from these conditions rises, digital technologies must step forward
and offer some solutions for early detection and disease management. That’s
what we examined in detail here, so let’s see the intersections of digital
health and Alzheimer’s disease.
Have you seen Aurora Borealis?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agent Deaths in the Line of Duty
Last week, President Trumptweeted that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were going to soon launch a major operation to arrest and deport illegal immigrants inside of the United States. On Saturday, President Trump reversed himself and said that he is going todelay the operation. TheWashington Examiner is now reporting that the operation is canceled permanently because acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan leaked the details, thus removing the element of surprise and putting the “public at risk and law enforcement officers in harm ’s way” according to Brandon Judd, the ...

Market-Based Visas: Problems, Criticisms, and Solutions
Steven Kopits of Princeton Energy Advisors wrote a fewcriticisms of our proposal to sell Gold Cards through a market-based program that I ’ve called animmigration tariff. An immigration tariff is an attempt, based largely on Nobel Prize-winningeconomist Gary Becker ’s idea to sell visas, to create a market-based visa that accounts for many of the most trenchant criticisms of liberalized immigration The idea is simply to create a new visa called a Gold Card without numerical quotas or caps. The Gold Card would supply permanent legal residency and work permission, but cannot be used to naturalize –like agreen car...

Attacks in My City
As you might hear, there were suicide bombings in Surabaya, Indonesia a few days ago. Surabaya is the city where I live. My family and friends are safe, but there are many sad stories of those who were affected.
It was surprising because there had never been any incident before in this city. Also surprising is the fact that the attacks were carried out by whole families: parents and their children (as little as 7-year-old). In previous attacks in other places, I have never heard of them being carried out by whole families.
We are just as strong as ever, though. Life in this city is mostly normal with no fear.
But there are...

AJT CHC Intelligence Test launch in Jakarta - a measure of 9 broad CHC abilities
Yesterday ’s AJT CHC cognitive test launch yesterday in Jakarta was a big success. I was taken aback by the special “event” flavor. Extremely professional. As I’ve stated before, the AJT is based on an Indonesia norm sample of 4,800 and will be one if the most comprehensive intelligence tests in th e world (on par with the WJ IV COG). It measures 9 broad CHC domains (Gf, Gc, Gwm, Ga, Gv, Gs, Gl, Gr, and some of Gp-separate from cognitive). This has been the most personally rewarding and important project I have worked on in my 40+ years in psychology and education. It is bringing the core c oncept of individual dif...
