► SCIENCE DAILY 30 September 2013 : Plentiful Mid-Life Stress Linked to Heightened Risk of Dementia in Late Life— The response to common life events may trigger long lasting physiological changes in the brain, say the authors. || ► SCIENCE DAILY 27 May 2011 : Stress May Increase Risk for Alzheimer's Disease — Protein deposits in nerve cells are a typical feature of Alzheimer's disease: the excessive alteration of the tau protein through the addition of phosphate groups -- a process known as hyperphosphorylation -- causes the protein in the cells to aggregate into clumps. As a result, nerve cells die, particularly in the hippocampus, a part of the brain that plays an important role in learning and memory, as well as in the prefrontal cortex which regulates higher cognitive functions.|| ► BBC 1 October 2013 :Mid-life stress 'precedes dementia'
► SCIENCEDAILY 1 October 2013 : Short Sleepers Most Likely to Be Drowsy Drivers. Federal data suggests that 15 to 33 percent of fatal automobile crashes are caused by drowsy drivers, but very little research has addressed what factors play a role in operating a vehicle in this impaired state. New research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania is revealing that short sleepers, those who sleep less than six hours per night on average, are the most likely to experience drowsy driving , even when they feel completely rested. The study is published in the October issue of the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention.

■ Black October '93: Tanks in Moscow, Blood on Streets (RT Documentary). In October 1993, Russia was on the brink of civil war. Deputies from the Supreme Soviet of Russia -- the main legislative body in the country - were on one side and President Boris Yeltsin and his supporters on the other. In decree 1400, the president proclaimed that the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation and its deputies were to discontinue their legislative, administrative and executive functions. The deputies responded with a decree removing Yeltsin from the Presidency. This resulted in two days of street fighting, hundreds dead and injured.
