Important Things To Know About An Assisted Living Residence In Texas

In: Home & Family

27 Oct 2010

An assisted living residence is a type of care center for senior citizens who are no longer able to live independently but do not require the 24/7 care provided by a nursing home. The typical assisted living resident may need help with things like preparing a meal, taking a shower, or managing medications, but is otherwise able to live without care and supervision. In Texas, assisted living facilities (ALFs) are known as personal care facilities. Facilities caring for four people or fewer do not require a license; those taking care of five or more people must seek licensing through the state.

In: Travel & Leisure

8 Jul 2009

Mixed martial arts has made a big splash with sports fans in recent years. A reality TV show about the UFC (the official organization of MMA fighting) brought a lot of publicity to the sport; leading many take an interest in the sport. There has been some concern on the part of boxing fans that the ever growing popularity of MMA has detracted from the attention paid to boxing. However, the two sports are very different from each other and there is no reason why the popularity of one should be in inverse proportion to that of the other. MMA isn’t boxing and doesn’t pretend to be. There’s no reason at all that the two sports (and their fans) can’t coexist.

We tend to think of baseball as the American national pastime, but is this sport still worthy of the title? Baseball hasn’t been the most popular sport in the US for quite some time now and even though it is undeniably an important piece of our national heritage, it doesn’t occupy the same place of prominence in the American consciousness which it once did. Baseball has largely been replaced both as a form of entertainment and as a shared cultural experience by different sports and activities.

26 May 2009

Mixed martial arts has grown in popularity exponentially after the last several years. This is due in part to a variety of factors, including a reality television show from the UFC that brought the sport to the masses for the first time. The UFC continues to produce high quality fights since all of the fighters are under their control, which helps to add to their popularity.
