Five Things You Must Do when Traveling with Older Parents
Traveling with your parents can be a wonderful experience if you plan well ahead. Here are five things you must do to ensure that you and your parents will have a great vacation.
1. Ensure that the itinerary is not too fast paced.
Old folks tend to get tired easily and thus it is not advisable to include activities that are too strenuous. It is also not advisable to pack too many activities in the itinerary such that you and your parents have to rush from one place to another.
2. Ensure that everyone has ample sleep
Plan to have at least six to eight hours of sleep for you and your parents for each day of your vacation. Try to avoid having any more activities after 11 p.m. Prepare some hot water for your parents to soak their legs before bed time if there is a fair amount of walking in the day.
3. Have ample supply of their medication
If your parents are suffering from diabetes, asthma, hypertension, high cholesterol or any other illness, make sure you obtain ample supply of medication from their doctors to last for the whole trip. To ensure that you remember to bring the medication, create a checklist of things to bring and put their medication among the top five items on that list. As a safety precaution, ask them to carry a medical record of their illness and contact details in case you are not around when they need medical attention.
4. Healthy diet
Most old people do not take heavy meals and thus you need to plan for multiple light and healthy meals that are low on salts, oil and sugars but high in fiber. Always have a sandwich or high fiber biscuits in your bag in case they get hungry and there isn’t a snack bar in the vicinity. Also make sure that you and your parents drink a lot of water to prevent dehydration.
5. Bring along a first aid travel pack.
Your first aid travel pack should contain medication for fever and diarrhea, cold symptoms and giddiness. It should also include a thermometer, tweezers, sharp scissors, safety pins, adhesive bandages, sterile gauze, adhesive tape and antiseptic wipes. While this list is not exhaustive, the stocks in the travel pack should be enough to cater to most conditions that require general first aid assistance. Do check the expiry date for those medications that you bring along to ensure that they are safe for consumption.
Traveling with your parents need not be a hassle as long as you plan ahead and take care of their needs. Involve them in all the activities along the way and remember to have fun!
Is carbon-14 dating accurate? (read the whole article or dont answer)?
And again, why ask a question if you are just going to answer it there?

thats a very interesting article.never read such a thing.after reading i think i should say that our science was lways like this.we keep on changing thiongs until what we observe was achieved thru our calculation.
then evrything we know about dinosaurs is wrong?well their calculations cant be all assumptions.they must have some solid base.

Radiometric dating: A christian perspective.
Written by real scientists, laying out the mainstream, ridiculously well -accepted science behind radioactive dating.

It is true that there are problems with all dating methods, but Archeaologists, Paleontologists, etc. all know this. Usually, as many dating methods as possible are applied. And, interestingly, errors generally make things seem younger, rather than older. There's something that alot of Christian scientists forget. Most of the scientists who discovered (and continue to discover) the ancient-ness of the Earth and evolution, etc. were Christians. Many of them were very upset by their findings, but they were also Scientists. Real Scientists. And real Scientists accept observable evidence above mythology.
You're not going to convince any enlightened person by waving a book at them. Not unless you have several non-derivative books by several different, unrelated authors that reach the same conclusion.
My mythology (ancient Greek) supports ancient Earth and evolution and even if it didn't, it wouldn't stop me from ignoring observable evidence! I'm smart enough to know that mythology is metaphore.

Yes up to 60000 years BC.
Radiocarbon dating is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring isotope carbon-14 to determine the age of carbonaceous materials up to ca 60,000 years. Within archaeology it is considered an absolute dating technique. The technique was discovered by Willard Frank Libby and his colleagues in 1949 during his tenure as a professor at the University of Chicago. Libby estimated that the steady state radioactivity concentration of exchangeable 14C would be about 14 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per gram carbon (ca. 230 mBq/g). In 1960, Libby was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his method to use carbon-14 for age determination.
Is the book of Genesis accurate? No.

Yes it is really accurate. However, who cares??????
This is absurd because Carbon-14 dating is not used to prove ANY of the claims your article says C-14 dating is used for. It is not used to date the Earth's origin, as it can only be used for the past 60,000 years. It is not used by evolutionists to prove evolution. It is not used for any of this. Your article actually says that C14 dating can be used to date things that are millions of years old- yet no scientific claims have ever been made dating anything with C-14 for more than 60,000 years. This is a bald-faced lie. It simply can't be done. Your article is complete bull and any true Christian would be ashamed of spreading such untruth.
You are doing nothing more than tilting at windmills. No one with any scientific knowledge will pay you any attention, because your own article states that it has no proof of Creationism, when it says "those that point to a young earth, rely on unprovable assumptions. "
Mostly those that point to a young earth rely on ignorance (which includes ignorance of the Bible).
The religion that is afraid of science dishoners God and commits suicide.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
