Coord., x110 [email protected]A Grand Relationship Anyone who has ever received a loving hug, phone call or letter from a grandchild knows how truly special—and beneficial— that bond is. Intergenerational relationships are important for the emotional growth of a child, who develops a sense of belonging and identity by feeling part of a larger family. A grandparent can strengthen this connection by passing on family history, heritage and traditions. Grandparents can also serve as a child’s source of wisdom, emotional support, entertainment and, of course, unconditional love. In return, grandchildren bring meaning and joy to a grandparent’s life. By being able to play a nurturing role and watch grandchildren grow—without the responsibility of primary parenting—grandparents experience an increased sense of self-worth and purpose. The Evolution of Football The NFL regular season is an anticipated event, so let’s tackle football history. American football began as a mid-1800s version of British rugby played at U.S. universities, using similar rules and the same oblong “pigskin” ball. The first intercollegiate game was played Nov. 6, 1869: Rutgers beat Princeton 6–4. New Year’s post-season matches began in 1902, when Michigan beat Stanford 49–0 at the Pasadena, Calif., Tournament of Roses. In 1923, the Rose Bowl stadium became home to the match, inspiring “bowl games” nationwide. Professional football began in the early 1900s, and on Aug. 20, 1920, several Midwestern teams formed the American Professional Football Association. Two years later, the fast-growing group became the National Football League. The rival American Football League formed in 1960. The leagues merged in 1970, with a National Football Conference and American Football Conference under the NFL umbrella.

Scent StudyTesting a person’s sense of
smell might help predict theirchances of developing Alzheimer’sdisease. A 2016 study found thatpeople who had troubleidentifying scents such asmenthol, clove, pineapple andlemon seemed to be at a higherrisk for Alzheimer’s.
The findings could lead to aninexpensive and noninvasive wayto identify those who wouldbenefit from treatment. Earlydiagnosis and intervention is veryeffective in slowing or preventingprogression of the disease,researchers say. More studies areplanned.
