Activities With Developmentally Disabled Elderly and Older Adults
is an innovative new book that aims to stimulate interest and
continued support for recreation program development and
implementation among developmental disability and aging service
systems. Particularly useful for human service professionals
working in the areas of developmental disabilities and aging, this
practical volume will also be of interest to researchers,
educators, and students interested in recreation services with
older adults who are developmentally disabled.The older adult
population with developmental disabilities (DD) continues to grow
rapidly, yet little is known about their needs and interests. In
this book a wide variety of authors share innovative and creative
strategies for programming activities with older adults with DD.
They focus on diverse issues, services, and programs from
researchers, educators, and practitioners, represented varied
disciplines. Each chapter demonstrates the diversity that makes
serving a growing number of older individuals with DD both
challenging and rewarding.Among the wealth of information you will
find in Activities With Developmentally Disabled Elderly and Older
Adults are discussions on the characteristics of this population
and challenge activity professionals to seek innovative program
strategies to appropriately serve individuals with DD
companionship/friendship, physical functioning, and retirement
adjustment issues that confront older adults who have lived with
lifelong disabling conditions how a continuum of recreational
activities is needed to provide meaningful experiences to elders
with developmental disabilities how to design therapeutic
recreation programs survey instruments that can be used to gain
information about the needs of elderly persons with DD how to find
specific programs and services that are age appropriate and foster

Create programs that make good use of the leisure time of the
elderly, and of those who care for them!Caregiving is a vital issue
in today's rapidly aging society. Each year, a greater number of
elderly people find themselves in need of care, and at the same
time, more elderly adults than ever are finding themselves in the
caregiving role. Caregiving--Leisure and Aging blends the work of
six experts in the field, exploring implications for future
practice and research, examining caregivers and care receivers and
their need for appropriate leisure and recreation activities, and
sharing innovative recreation programs to help caregivers and those
in their care enrich the quality of their lives.Here you'll find: a
review of literature which examines caregivers'health behaviors and
discusses sleep improvement, home-based exercise, and several
interventions the common factors found in successful leisure and
activities programs for older adults and those who care for them
in-depth case studies of three women who cared for their older
husbands with dementia and the rationale behind their sacrifice of
personal leisure time to provide this care a survey of rural and
urban caregivers to individuals with Alzheimer's disease specific
leisure education strategies that have been used successfully in
caregiver support groups an examination of the innovative
Family-based Structural Multisystem In-home Interventions (FSMII)
with a Computer Telephone Integration System (CTIS)
projectCaregiving--Leisure and Aging provides information and ideas
regarding the importance of leisure both to those elderly people
receiving care and also to the aging adults who selflessly deliver
that care.
This proceedings volume contains 66 papers presented at the second
"Contact Mechanics International Symposium" held in Carry-Le-Rouet.
France. from September 19th to 23rd. 1994, attended by 110
participants from 17 countries. This symposium was the continuation
of the first CMIS held in 1992 in Lausanne. of the Symposium
Euromech 273 "Unilateral Contact and Dry Friction" held in 1990 in
La Grande Motte. France. and of the series of "Meetings on
Unilateral Problems in Structural Analysis" organized in Italy.
every other year. during the eighties. The primary purpose of the
symposium was to bring specialists of contact mechanics together in
order to draw a representative picture of the state of the art and
to identify new trends and new features in the field. In view of
the contributions made. one may assert that the mechanics of
contact and friction has now reached a stage where the foundations
are clear both from the mathematical and from the computational
standpoints. Some of the difficulties met may be identified by
saying that frictional contact is governed by resistance laws that
are non smooth and whose flow rule is not associated with the yield
criterion through the traditional normality property.

Percival Stuffington, nicknamed "Stuffie", is a good-for-nothing, a
womanizer and a crook. He belongs to the theatre of the grotesque.
His ignorance and dishonesty is exposed when he poses as a teacher
of English to foreign students in a London private school. He flies
to California, where he tries to pass as a golf instructor. Finally
he plans to extort money from a former fellow student by poisoning
him, and promising the quick delivery of the antidote against a
staggering sum.
This book is the list of printed documents I have collected about
the Philippines in general and the Tagalog language in particular.
The entries are followed by an index of the themes involved.
Spiffies and Loonies is a situational comedy developed into 88
episodes. It departs from the typical ones, in which the plot
hinges on the emotional and irrational decisions made by the lead
characters. The opposite happens here. First of all, Brad and Dolly
meet, fall in love and marry. To make things worse, they become
rich after a few episodes. They are therefore geared to lead the
eventless life of the happy few. Fortunately they are surrounded by
misfits warped by one big deviant trait. When these do not bump
into Brad and Dolly along the way, they will come and knock on
their door - thus a turmoil of events running from the amusing to
the fantastic, with a lot of absurdities in between.You will soon
be captivated by the antics of these cartoon-like characters, and
will ask for more. Several passages are spoofs of literary works.
Each episode is independent enough from the others to be read or
performed for its own sake.

This is a modest digest of what should be known about the life and
deeds of Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong), the Ming military mandarin who
founded Chinese Taiwan, and belonged to a family of international
traders commanding a vast fortune and a fleet of merchantmen.
Sometimes, instead of smoothly following its predictable course,
history swerves to another direction because of an unexpected
event. When Ming China was invaded by the Manchus, instead of
collaborating to make even more profits, Koxinga launched a
resistance movement. Yet, his fate was apparently sealed for hadn't
he been compelled by tradition to celebrate his birthday during the
siege of Nanking, he would not have been defeated by the Manchus
the morning after. If he had not died suddenly the year he ordered
the Spaniards of Manila to pay him a tribute as to their sovereign,
the Philippines would now be an overseas Chinese territory like
Taiwan.
This is a collection of the scenes from the situational comedy
Spiffies and Loonies in which intervenes Mrs. Hazel Twittle, a
fiftyish prude and a dimwit that belongs to the theatre of the
grotesque. At the beginning, she is a chambermaid. After she has
come into a comfortable income from Brad, her cousin's son, she
travels abroad, where she has the knack for antagonizing everybody
because she can't help expressing her strong disapproval of things
she doesn't like. Eventually she returns home frustrated, and
settles in a Brighton boarding house to give herself time to find a
suitable home. There, she makes friends with Polly, a crook who
pretends she is a nun working as a nurse, and who quickly talks her
into donating fat cheques for various fake foundations. Finally
Mrs. Twittle is confronted with a hippie child psychologist who
proves to be an ignorant narcissistic sociopath.
