It's Not About the Shirt
It's about what the shirt means
During my first trip to Bangkok in 2004, I was eating lunch at a sidewalk noodle cart parked in front of a bookshop. When I was nearly finished, the owner of the bookshop sat down across from me at my small table and just started talking to me.
At the end of the conversation, he said, "You are the first foreigner I have ever spoken with in front of my shop. Do you know why?"
Without waiting, he answered his own question, "You are the only one I have ever seen use chopsticks properly."
He must have seen thousands of tourists on the sidewalk in front of his shop over the years. But that little thing was compelling enough to him that he finally decided to take a chance and reach out to a stranger.
The conversation lasted more than an hour and was my first ever with a Thai person. His enthusiasm and excitement was so contagious that my face hurt from smiling. It was the beginning of a love affair with a country and people that continues today, 13 years later.
What did using the chopsticks mean to him? Respect for his culture? Genuine curiosity in his customs? To a proud Thai man, maybe that and a lot more.
I look at travel clothing the same way I look at using chopsticks:
The little things are noticed and they matter
How a traveler presents himself will be what determines if the language barrier is surmounted or the cultural divide is crossed. Clothing is just an expression of the inner desire to do so. It's the intention that matters and what people will connect with.

UC Davis history professors Gregory Downs and Eric Rauchway are among its signatories
Over 300 historians and constitutional law scholars alike have signed an open letter, published on Jan. 11, that calls for the second impeachment of President Donald Trump.
"Trump has defied the Constitution and broken laws, norms, practices, and precedents, for which he must be held accountable now and after he leaves office," the letter states.
It follows the violent protest on Jan. 6, after Trump encouraged his supporters to "show strength" at the Capitol during the ceremonial confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden. The House of Representatives has since introduced an article of impeachment that charges the president of "incitement of insurrection." The letter addresses ideas behind this charge, stating that Trump is a "clear and present danger to American democracy."
Gregory Downs, a professor of U.S. history at UC Davis, is one of the signatories of the letter. As a scholar of the American Civil War and Reconstruction era, he has studied periods when there were significant threats to the country's survival, and, according to him, the letter was designed to emphasize that the recent events are unlike other times in U.S. history.
"In this case, what historians are saying is: 'Even having seen a lot of extremely conflictual times in U.S. history, this stands out; even having seen a lot of times when democracy [failed], this stands out; even having seen times when the survival of the country seemed at stake, this stands out,'" Downs said.
Eric Rauchway, a professor of American history at UC Davis said that, for him, signing the letter was a "no-brainer."
"It doesn't take a sophisticated academic analysis to say, there's a lot of damage that the president can still do, even with a relatively short time in office," Rauchway said.
Similar to Downs, he stated that, though there have been many instances of violence in U.S. history, the president's involvement in this event remains unique.
"There has been violence relating to elections throughout American history," Rauchway said. "There has even been white supremacist violence relating to elections throughout American history, so I don't want to say that none of that has happened before. But, I feel this is an important distinction to make for the president himself to incite a white supremacist mob to attack the Capitol with the express purpose of disrupting the election that he lost."
According to Downs, in congruence with the letter, by intending to halt the processes of democracy, Trump has failed to uphold and protect the Constitution.
"All Republics are premised upon the idea of a peaceful transfer of power; the idea that people lose elections without trying to bring down the country," Downs said. "As Abraham Lincoln said, the threat to secede if you didn't win an election is the 'essence of anarchy.'"
The open letter is the second call of historians for the impeachment of Trump. The first, published Dec. 16, 2019, received over 2,000 signatures from members of the field, including Downs.
Now nearing the end of Trump's term, rather than waiting for Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, Downs stated that impeachment is crucial to limit future instances of violence. Furthermore, though Trump will no longer be president in a matter of days, should he be convicted, the Senate has the power to prevent Trump from holding public office in years to come.
"It's important to remove him from office as quickly as possible, even if it ends up being just a day or a few hours because the damage he can do in the White House remains significant," Downs said. "And it is important to try and disqualify him from future office because […] the Republican Party cannot do that."
Encouragement of the violence at the Capitol by the president and the insurrection itself, has the potential to set a dangerous precedent, Downs said.
"One thing that's very clear is these are rarely one-time crises," Downs said. "Once you introduce the power, it's going to be used again. So it's a test of the country. Do we want to be back in this situation in 2024 or not?"

Rockets Trade Chris Paul for Russell Westbrook in Blockbuster Deal
Hot Listing: Travel to Provence By Way of River Oaks
Texans 27, Dolphins 20: So Close, Yet So Far
Ben DuBose
Ben DuBose | December 28, 2009 | 8:59am
One game.
One of two missed Kris Brown field goals. One of two Chris Brown rushing attempts from a yard out. A ridiculous Chris Brown pass on first and goal in Jacksonville. Take away any of those -- just one -- and the Texans are most likely 9-6 and controlling their own playoff destiny heading into the season's final weekend.
Instead, they're 8-7 and -- assuming they take care of business at home against a Patriots team with little to play for -- need a pair of upsets to advance to the postseason for the first time in franchise history. On one level, it's depressing to come that tantalizingly close and likely fall short.
But look at it objectively, and progress is evident. As much as we hate to admit it, the Texans aren't the only team with terrible luck. Their Sunday opponent -- Miami -- stormed back from a 24-6 hole at Tennessee last week in a game they needed to stay in playoff contention and won the overtime coin toss. Then, like so many Texans games, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when Chad Henne tossed a crushing interception.
The Texans, as they have throughout this tumultuous season, used the heartbreaks as motivation and came out with a fire lit. The Dolphins appeared ready to star in a sequel to The Hangover. And before you could blink, the Texans took a 27-0 lead.
"I knew we were ready to play today," head coach Gary Kubiak said in a postgame quotes release by the team. "In our locker room, you could have heard a pin drop because the guys were focused. They had a great week."
Sure, the Texans -- per usual -- took their foot off the gas after grabbing the lead, and the Dolphins made things semi-interesting in the second half. Then again, this wasn't a doormat they were playing. These were the defending AFC East champions, in their house, with the playoffs on the line for them as well. They were going to make a run.
But because the Texans came out of the gate focused and intense, they had enough to withstand Miami's late charge. And as much as local columns -- including this one -- have blamed Kubiak for a multitude of problems throughout this season, he deserves praise for having the Texans ready and delivering arguably the biggest win in franchise history.
"This is as deep as we've been as a team," Kubiak said. "That's why I came here, to get this football team and this organization to get in a position like that. We've got an outside shot of making the playoffs next week and we have a realistic chance to become winners for the first time in this organization."
Most impressively, Kubiak learned from his mistakes. The pair of fourth-down blunders from the one (Jacksonville and Arizona games) were compounded by the accompanying playcalls. After all, why would a team with a terrible interior line and subpar running backs take the game out of the hands of stars like Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson?
On Sunday, with a 3-0 lead in the first quarter and looking for a decisive early punch, the Texans were stuffed on third and short at the Miami 10. But instead of force-feeding the run again on fourth down, Schaub went to the air and found Johnson on a slant for a touchdown.
The rout was on.
Given the talent in the Texans' passing game, it's the kind of call that should have been obvious earlier in the season. For whatever reason, it wasn't. But it is now. "We knew we'd have to throw the ball and keep them honest and we did," Kubiak said.
We'll see if it's enough.
Either way, the stage is certainly set. With a win against the star-studded Patriots at Reliant, the Texans can secure their first winning season in franchise history and - at the least - keep themselves mathematically alive heading into the late games on the season's final Sunday.
"Our goal is to be in the position that we're in right now," Johnson said.
Most likely, capitalizing on that position would also buy Kubiak one more year in Houston - a feat that seemed impossible just three weekends ago when the Texans were wrapping up a four-game losing streak.
Suddenly, a pair of upsets from the Bengals, Raiders and Chiefs doesn't seem quite as far-fetched.

PS3 Shadows of the Damned Rate & Review


Former Today show host Lisa Wilkinson, 59, spent 10 years at Channel Nine before jumping ship to Ten.
And on Saturday, Lisa became nostalgic as she reflected on a perk she was able to perform for the network for almost a decade.
The presenter was pictured in front of a Christmas tree for the vintage snap - no doubt from a prior Carols By Candlelight.
'For almost a decade at this time of the year I was heading to Melbourne for Carols by Candlelight,' she begun, having hosted it from 2008 to 2016.
Despite the demanding role, Lisa said she loved celebrating the Christmas holiday with millions of viewers watching from home.
The presenter role is now being given to Today Extra star Sonia Kruger, and her co-host David Campbell.
Lisa has been reflecting a lot on her time at Channel Nine with the axing of her former Today show co-host, Karl Stefanovic.
Taking to her Instagram, Lisa appeared to post a backhanded tribute to her former co-presenter Karl who got the sack on Wednesday.
Lisa and Karl hosted the breakfast show together from 2007, until Lisa quit in 2017 following an alleged pay dispute with network bosses.
Lisa is now enjoying her Christmas holidays from The Sunday Project.
Taking to Instagram last Friday, Lisa let fans known she was going on a break from filming the show.

Destroy All Humans! remake is heading to PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2020
THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games have announced a remake of the 2005 alien invasion game, Destroy All Humans! The announcement was accompanied by a short reveal trailer the studio released on Friday morning.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=y-1Q86252hg%3Frel%3D0
The original Destroy All Humans! was a sci-fi action game set in 1959 and developed by Pandemic Studios. Players took control of an alien called Cryptosporidium 137 — or Crypto— as he attempts to take over Earth in order to harvest human DNA and clone more of his alien race.
While the open world chaos and general society destroying was part of Destroy All Humans! fun, it also had a thoroughly ridiculous sense of humor. The game leaned into the stereotypes of aliens as little grey men with flying saucers, while also lampooning other touchstones of late-50s and early-60s society and pop-culture. But even more appealing than its references and parody was just how off-the-wall its humor could really get, something that doesn't seem to have gone away in the remake.
In the announcement trailer, Crypto abducts cows in his saucer and hypnotizes an entire town into a massive dance party set to, for some reason, Rammstein's "Ich Will." If the trailer's is any indication, the remake seems to keep the original games spirit of silly nonsense as it lets players take over the world.
The trailer doesn't mention a firm release date for the Destroy All Humans! remake, but it does say that it will be out sometime in 2020 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game is developed by Black Forest games, a subsidiary of THQ Nordic. And it isn't the only remake THQ Nordic has in the works. Earlier this week, the same studio announced that it is working on a remake of cult-classic 3D-platformer SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, as well.

Rising prescription of central stimulants in Sweden
Central stimulants like amphetamine and Ritalin are highly addictive narcotic drugs. Ritalin was originally introduced in Sweden but was withdrawn from the marketplace in 1968 because of its escalating abuse. Since the 1990`s Ritalin has again become accepted by Swedish doctors and more and more children with symptoms of hyperactivity are now regularly medicated with central stimulants.
In a booklet published in 2004 "Briefly about ADHD in children and adults" the Swedish National Board of Health recommends the use of central stimulants as a treatment of ADHD. ADHD is a disorder distinguished by attention disorder, hyperactivity and impulsivity. The Board emphasizes how well documented these drugs are especially in large studies on children, how effective they are and how slight their side effects are.
The National Board writes:
"Due to the rapidly growing knowledge about ADHD in Sweden and the fact that we now have taken part of international experience of medication the number of children treated with central stimulants has rapidly increased in the same way as in other countries."
It is certainly true that the knowledge about the effects of central stimulants increases, not least the knowledge about the great risks and adverse effects of these drugs. However the Swedish National Board of Health has chosen to say nothing about these risks and instead give an extremely flattering description of these drugs.
As a counterweight to this biased description of central stimulants I will, in a short summary, give an account of the very harmful effects of central stimulants that numerous research studies have found, effects that the Swedish National Board of Health has chosen to say nothing about.
The use of central stimulants in the United States
The increased prescription of central stimulants in Sweden during the last years would be incomprehensible if it were not seen in the light of the development in the United States.
In the United States there is a long tradition of treating hyperactivity with central stimulants. Ritalin is the most prescribed central stimulant and is manufactured by Ciba Geigy. It has been used to treat hyperactivity since the 1950s but during the nineties the production of Ritalin has increased tenfold. It has been estimated that 11 % of American school children nowadays are medicated with Ritalin or other central stimulants.
The promoters of this development have been the big pharmaceutical companies that market central stimulants and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a government agency, that advocates the increased diagnosing and drugging of America´s children.
NIMH gives millions in research funds to studies on central stimulants. Nearly all the money goes to ADHD/Ritalin advocates. None goes to critics. None of its funding is aimed at discovering the dangers of long-term use of Ritalin and other stimulants.
1998 NIMH organized a consensus conference on ADHD/Ritalin. According to the plans, side effects of central stimulants were not to be discussed during the conference and no critics of central stimulants were invited to speak at the conference. The psychiatrist Peter Breggin appealed to the umbrella organization of NIMH, the National Institute of Health (NIH), to create more balance in the conference.
NIH decided that Peter Breggin should be invited to speak as the scientific presenter on the overall subject of adverse drug effects in children. He made a thorough survey on the research of central stimulants, that he later published in his book "Talking back to Ritalin". (1)
The use of central stimulants in hyperactivity in Sweden
The most common drugs to be prescribed to hyperactive children in Sweden are central stimulants like Amphetamine and Methylphenidate or Concerta. On the whole all central stimulants have similar effects and adverse effects.
In its booklet the Swedish National Board of Health writes that there are no other psychoactive drugs that have been so thoroughly studied as central stimulants. However, the Board admits, that it is not yet known how effective these drugs are in the long run after many years of treatment.
The National Board of Health praises central stimulants for increasing the power of concentration and decreasing hyperactivity. Moreover "the drug seems to improve cognitive abilities like problem solving."
Concerning the danger of addiction and future abuse the National Board claims that treatment with central stimulants "instead seem to diminish" the risk of future abuse.
The Board further writes that side effects in most cases are slight. In rare cases it may happen that the "mind and behavior of the child can be so adversely affected that the treatment must be interrupted".
Let us scrutinize these assertions by means of Peter Breggin´s survey on the research of central stimulants.
No psychoactive drugs for children have been as thoroughly studied as central stimulants?
Ritalin was first approved in the 1950s, but the FDA has been unable to produce the original documents from that long ago. In 1982 FDA approved a long-acting modification of Ritalin that had been tested for two weeks on 90 children.
And in spite of the fact that central stimulants had been used in the USA for hyperactive children for more than fifty years and in spite of all alarming reports of serious adverse effects, including brain damage in monkeys who have been given small doses of central stimulants on rare occasions, no scientific research on long term effects of central stimulants had been published until 1999. That year the so called MTA study of children who had been medicated with stimulants for one year was published. Before this most studies followed up treated children at most for a couple of months.
The MTA Study of 1999
This first MTA study was a triumph for the pharmaceutical companies and the ADHD/Ritalin advocates among psychiatrists.
One of the principal researchers of this first MTA study, professor Peter Jensen, made the following statement concerning this study: " We did the best study which ever has been done on planet Earth, which helped parents and teachers with these children – and what did it show? It showed that medication was still much more effective for these children." (5)
According to a well known British child psychiatrist, Eric Taylor, the most important conclusion of the study was that carefully carried out medication is better than other treatment. This would require medication to be available for children with ADHD.
The result of this study was widely publicized and has caused an ever increasing labelling of children with ADHD and treatment of them with central stimulants all over the world.
The 2007 MTA study, a follow up study after three years
In 2007 a follow-up of the MTA study, made by the same research team, was published. In this study the medicated children had been followed for three years.
The result of this study was very disappointing to the research team. One of the principal researchers, Professor William Pelham, made an appearance on the BBC program Panorama stating that after 36 months of treatment there were no positive effects whatever, contrary to what the research team had expected. According to Professor Pelham nothing indicated that drugs are better than no treatment at all in a longer perspective and he stressed that this information should be made very clear to parents. (6)
According to Professor Pelham the report showed that initially the good effects of the treatment in children with the most severe problems had completely disappeared when the children grew older.
The report also established that central stimulants obstruct the normal growth of children which also affects the growing brain.
The study furthermore demonstrated that central stimulants are connected with a more aggressive and antisocial behaviour and increased risks of future criminality and drug abuse.
Children between 11 and 13 years who participated in the study more often used alcohol and illegal substances compared to a control group of classmates. The report concludes that the higher frequency of beginning abuse at an early age requires clinical attention.(7)
With a characteristic English understatement Professor Pelham uttered on BBC "I think we exaggerated the positive effects of medication in the first study".
Do central stimulants improve the power of concentration and diminish hyperactivity and impulsivity?
The "positive" effects of central stimulants are caused by the fact that they make children more obedient and docile and willing to do as they are told, especially doing boring, monotonous classroom tasks.
Several animal studies have shown striking similarities between the reactions of children and animals when they are given central stimulants. Before the consensus conference in 1998, Peter Breggin summarized two dozen scientific reports on the effects of central stimulants on animals in the following way:
"First, stimulants suppress normal spontaneous or self-generated activity, including curiosity, socializing and play."
"Second, stimulants promote stereotyped, obsessive-compulsive, overly focused behaviors, that are often repetitive and meaningless".
Likewise, in children, spontaneous and social behaviors and play are suppressed and replaced by obsessive, repetitive and meaningless behaviors. Their spontaneity and curiosity will diminish and they will withdraw from socializing with other children.
These are the very effects of central stimulants that are highlighted as improvements. But one must ask if such symptoms should not arouse concern and reflection instead of being applauded as improvements.
Do central stimulants improve cognitive abilities and academic success?
In 1976 a double blind study could show that central stimulants suppress "desirable behaviors that facilitate learning". The authors found that even when the children`s behaviors were rated as improved no improvement of scholastic achievement could be found.
In 1992 James Swanson, who is a prominent ADHD/Ritalin advocate, and his colleagues warned that "cognitive toxicity may occur at commonly prescribed clinical doses". The children become withdrawn and over focused and may seem "zombi-like". According to Swanson cognitive toxicity is common and may occur in 40% of treated cases and the over focusing of attention may impair rather than improve learning.
In 2010 an Australian study of 131 children who had been treated with central stimulants was published. After 20 years follow up the study found no improvement of behavior or academic results in the treated children compared to a control group with similar symptoms who had not been medicated.
For those on medication it was 10 times as likely that classroom performance would be below average. The study also found that medication increased blood pressure. The physical effects of the medication follow the child into adulthood.
Do central stimulants diminish the risk of future drug abuse?
The assertion that central stimulants diminish the risk of future drug abuse should not remain unchallenged. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) repeatedly has expressed great concern that treatment with Ritalin will lead to abuse of other drugs.
1995 DEA reported that "a number of recent studies, drug abuse cases, and trends among adolescents from various sources, indicate that methylphenidate (Ritalin) use may be a risk factor for substance abuse.
At the 1998 Consensus Conference Professor Nadine Lambert of the University of California, Berkeley, presented a unique long-term study comparing future drug abuse in two groups labelled ADHD.
The study compared one group who had been prescribed stimulants as children with another group that had not been given medication.
She found a significant correlation between stimulant treatment in childhood and later drug abuse. She told the conference that the prescription of stimulants to children for a year or more was correlated with increased "lifetime use of cocaine and stimulants".
She concluded in her paper that childhood use of stimulants "is significantly and pervasively implicated in the uptake of regular smoking, in daily smoking in adulthood, in cocaine dependence, and in lifetime use of cocaine and stimulants."
The MTA study found that children between 11 and 13 years who participated in the study more often used alcohol and illegal substances compared to a control group of classmates.
Additionally the MTA study established a strong connection between medication with central stimulants and incipient criminality among children between 11 and 13 years and that the risk of criminality was linked to the duration of the medication.
And with all those pills around, how much of that actually goes to friends? Some studies have said it's about 30 percent.
Are the side effects of central stimulants slight?
From Breggin´s survey it is evident that the side effects of stimulants far from being insignificant are both serious and extremely common. In several studies the frequency of side effects is more than 50 %.
The most common side effects are loss of appetite, drowsiness, withdrawal, loss of interest in others and depression. In one study of 41 children between 4 and 6 years of age 75% suffered from loss of appetite, 62% of drowsiness and 62 % were uninterested in others. In another study of 83 somewhat older children 45 % had side effects mostly as withdrawal, sadness or crying.
Obsessive compulsive symptoms are very common side effects. They appear as a compulsive repetition of simple activities like endlessly playing games on the computer. In one study with 45 children 51% developed compulsive symptoms that in certain cases were very serious. One child became so obsessed with doing a good job raking leaves, he would wait for each one to fall from the tree.
Another played Lego for 36 hours without breaking to eat or sleep.
In another study 42 % of the children produced an obsessive over-focusing after a single dose of stimulants. The children were sometimes unable to stop performing a task that had been assigned to them.
Tics and movement disorder are also very common side effects. In a study with 45 children 58% developed tics and abnormal movements. In another study with 122 children 9% developed tics and abnormal movements. One child did not recover and developed an irreversible syndrome with facial twitching, head turning, lip smacking, forehead wiping and vocalizations.
Do central stimulants cause brain damage?
Many animal studies during the last 30 years have shown that relatively low doses of amphetamine kill brain cells and cause permanent brain damage. The drug will cause a lasting loss of receptors for the neurotransmitter dopamine due to the fact that the dopamine transmitter system is over-stimulated by central stimulants.
In one study with monkeys it could be shown that administration of two relatively low doses of amphetamine, 2 mg/kg body weight four hours apart, caused persistent, marked decreases in dopamine synthesis and concentration up to three months later. In one of the animals the dysfunction still continued after eight months. A dose of two mg/kg is not much more than a child on treatment will get per day.
This study is not an exception. Drug levels of Ritalin on a mg/kg basis can be as high as those reported to cause brain damage in animals according to a scientific report.
According to a textbook of psychiatry by Jaffe chronic amphetamine use in monkeys causes damage to cerebral blood vessels, brain cell death and micro hemorrhages.
It is not unusual that children are medicated with central stimulants all through childhood and adolescence. No studies have been made what brain damage such chronic amphetamine use will cause in humans. For the time being we must therefore draw our conclusions from animal studies. Animals who recieve central stimulants in equivalent doses to children get permanent brain damage.
The Swedish national Board of Health says nothing about these facts and confines itself to assert that the side effects of central stimulants are insignificant.
Resistance against the big pharmaceutical companies' marketing of central stimulants
According to an article in NY Times March 31 2013 a recent study by CDC has shown that 6.4 million children ages 4 through 17 had received an A.D.H.D. diagnosis at some point in their lives, a 16 percent increase since 2007 and a 41 percent rise in the past decade. About two-thirds of those with a current diagnosis receive prescriptions for central stimulants. Annual sales of these drugs reached $9 billion in 2012.
Fifteen percent of school-age boys have received an A.D.H.D. diagnosis, the data showed; the rate for girls was 7 percent. Diagnoses among those of high-school age — 14 to 17 — were particularly high, 10 percent for girls and 19 percent for boys. About one in 10 high-school boys currently take A.D.H.D. medication, the data showed.
According to this article several prominent American child psychiatrists were upset with these figures and the article and an editorial in the NY times is believed to reflect a growing unease with American reliance on psychiatric drugs, especially for children.
When 11% of America´s children are treated with central stimulants the market in the US is reaching a saturation point. The big pharmaceutical companies have therefore turned to other markets in Canada and Europe where the share of children who are treated with these drugs has been rapidly rising in the last years.
In Sweden the marketing of central stimulants is greatly helped along by the National Board of Health. Between 2000 and 2012 the number of Swedish children who were prescribed central stimulants rose from 2000 to 25,000. Moreover the pharmaceutical companies are now also marketing central stimulants for adults diagnosed with ADHD and currently 25,000 adults are treated with central stimulants in Sweden.
The pharmaceutical company Janssen-Cilag has applied to the European Medicines Agency for approval of Concerta for adults in Europe. The application was withdrawn after the agency had established that the research studies that were attached to the application could not show that the effect of Concerta were better than sugar pills and that Concerta directly could cause aggressiveness, anxiety and depression and that there was a considerable risk of spreading.
In Sweden the marketing of central stimulants is greatly helped along by the Swedish National Board of Health. Moreover the pharmaceutical companies also have been marketing central stimulants for adults diagnosed with ADHD and the prescription of ADHD drugs in Sweden both to children and adults is rapidly increasing in spite of the standpoint of the European Medicines Agency.
Kalle was 11 when he started rhythmic movement training in august. He had taken amphetamine for five years and now took 25 mg daily.
Kalle was early to develop and learned to walk when he was 10 ½ months. He was very defiant when he was 2-3 years and when he was 6 he had so severe challenges with hyperactivity, concentration and temper tantrums that he was given medication with amphetamine. The first two years at school he managed to stay in an ordinary class with a personal assistant but then he was moved to a special class with seven students and five adults.
At his first visit to me it was apparent that he was a very hyperactive boy with great problems to sit still. His endurance was very poor and he was very impulsive and very easily disturbed. Nearly every day he got severe temper tantrums. He had great problems playing with other children and team sports were especially challenging. He preferred to play on his own and was constantly busy playing Game Boy or similar games. He had great difficulties to interrupt such activities which he could continue for hours.
Kalle had several retained primitive reflexes: the Moro reflex, the TLR, the STNR and the Spinal Galant reflex. He had no problems doing the rhythmic exercises and seemed to enjoy them.
Kalle did not like his medication and wanted to stop taking it and go back to his ordinary class at school. He seemed to be very motivated for these goals.
He was instructed to do passive and active rhythmic exercises every day and exercises for the Moro and the TLR reflexes a few times a week. In addition his parents were encouraged to reduce his medication from five to four tablets a day. At his next visit his father reported that he had not been motivated to do the active exercises every day but he had always enjoyed being rocked and had done the active exercises when he felt like it.
After a little more than half a year he had become more motivated to do the rhythmic exercises himself and reported that he felt calmer and more harmonious than before. He had begun to seek body contact with his parents and wanted to sit in their lap, which he had never done before.
His temper tantrums had diminished and his parents observed that he had become more reasonable and that he could follow a line of argument in a way he had never been able to. Also at school his changed behaviour had been noticed and it had been decided that he should move to a big class after summer vacation. He was to be assisted by a resource person.
Before summer vacation I had recommended the parents to reduce his medication with another tablet. However, at his next visit after the summer his parents reported that the school had protested strongly when they heard he was going to reduce medication and had even threatened not to move him to a normal class. Therefore the parents had not reduced his dose. After that it was more difficult to motivate Kalle to do the exercises and only after persistently reminding him he had done them about every third day.
It was now decided that his medication should be reduced with one tablet immediately and then again after his next visit to me if he had done the exercises at least five times a week.
At his next visit in November Kalle had reduced his dose with one tablet and his behaviour was completely changed. Previously it had been difficult to interrupt his playing Game Boy in the waiting room.
Now he romped and wrestled on the floor with his little brother whenever he had an opportunity. His parents reported that he had now taken responsibility for the rhythmic exercises and had done them every day on his own. His parents only needed to remind him. He regularly took part in the reflex integration exercises assisted by his father.
When he had done rhythmic exercises for one and a half years his medication was reduced to two tablets a day. No one noticed any difference. He succeeded beyond all expectation at school. He continued to do the rhythmic exercises on his own and the isometric exercises with his father and integrated his TLR, Spinal Galant and Moro reflexes.
He had no more problems with endurance, concentration, attention or hyperactivity. His temper was even and he had no temper tantrums. Before summer vacations he got nothing but praise from his teachers. He now reduced his medication with another tablet. In December, after doing the exercises for two years and three months, he took the last tablet. In February, two and a half years after his first visit to me he could report that he felt good and school went well in spite of the fact that he had not done the exercises for several months.
After another year Kalle read in the newspaper that persons who had been diagnosed with ADHD needed a psychiatric evaluation before they could get a drivers licence. He then made an appointment with the child psychiatric clinic which had labelled him as suffering from ADHD and prescribed medication. He asked them to cancel his diagnosis since he no longer had any symptoms. After having done all the required tests they had to cancel the diagnosis.

Interprofessional Student Poster and Resource Exchange Abstracts will be accepted through June 1, 2019.
The key words we hope to hear about the Nexus Summit 2019 are "active," "solution-oriented" and "inclusive." This is a year of engaging all stakeholders in advancing interprofessional health care practice and education to improve care, deliver higher value and work together to assure that the health care workforce is prepared for the opportunities ahead. We believe that learning in practice and improving clinical learning environments is the key.
We have chosen four major themes for the Nexus Summit 2019; all are associated with significant opportunities for dialogue and action and groundbreaking reports by strategic partners of the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education.
The clinical learning environment is the true Nexus; the place where collaborative practice and education come together to improve health care, deliver higher value and assure that we can prepare the workforce for the work today and ahead. To optimize clinical learning for all learners – students, providers, patients, educators, healthcare organizations – we need better strategies for how to engage patients and families in CLEs, how to make a compelling case for the value of student learners in CLEs, and much more. Immerse yourself in the latest knowledge and best practices for CLE while taking advantage of action-oriented activities to develop solutions to implement in your home settings.
Strategic Resource: National Academies of Medicine Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professions Education. In November 2018, the National Center co-hosted a Global Forum workshop called "Strengthening the Connection between Health Professions Education and Practice." Videos and presentations are available to review.
The workforce of the future will likely look different from the workforce we are preparing today. Themes of practicing at top of license, optimizing teams, addressing shortages in primary care and other settings pose many new opportunities and challenges for all stakeholders in interprofessional practice and education. At the crux of this dialogue is how education and practice will work together toward a common understanding and plan for shaping health care and demonstrating value to patients and health care organizations.
Quality Interprofessional Education in the US is developed and delivered within a context of accreditation policies and standards. In early February 2019, the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education and the Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative (HPAC) released a landmark document, "Guidance on Developing Quality Interprofessional Education for the Health Professions" to encourage collaboration among health professions schools and programs and accreditors and to support acceleration of quality IPE. Learn about this important report by clicking the link above, and at the Nexus Summit 2019 and explore how this new guidance will facilitate innovations in quality IPE.
Patients and families are the indisputable center of health care. They are why we strive for better care, better value and better education. Fully engaging patients and families as members of the team in the clinical learning environment continue to be a challenge. At the Nexus Summit 2018, patients shared their experiences in words and art; they reflected on presentations and poster sessions. This year our goal is to amplify the patient and family voice throughout the Nexus Summit. Come be a part of powerful storytelling events, learn best practices in patient and family-centered interprofessional care and propose new models and strategies.
Challenge yourself to think differently as we work together to integrate scholarship and science with the policy and administration of learning and care delivery – with a focus on the shared goal of improving learning and performance in practice for better patient care and outcomes.
Expect the unexpected as our expert patient responders walk with you through the Nexus Summit experiences, sharing observations, challenging assumptions and inspiring ideas.
Desire to learn as you spend time together with valued stakeholders in the clinical learning environment including health professionals, health system leaders, payers, educators, students, policy analysts and patients and families will convene for learning and development toward an action-oriented agenda.
Skills-based workshops are 60-minute active-learning sessions. Workshop leaders will offer actionable knowledge and will present specific skills and/or competencies needed to optimize clinical learning environments, better align education and practice, optimize teams and the workforce, and integrate patients/people and families into IPE. Attendees will leave with practical skills to apply back home. Presenters are encouraged to plan most of the workshop time in active learning and skill building.
The National Center is seeking abstracts for 60-minute active-learning, practical, skills-based workshops. Workshop presenters must offer practical tips and convey specific knowledge, skills and/or competencies. Workshops will be held August 19-20, 2019.
Basic A/V is provided in all rooms (screen, LCD projector, laptop, internet and 1 wireless microphone). Please indicate and describe if additional A/V support is required at an additional cost to the presenter.
If Your Proposal Is Accepted: Lead presenter will be notified of acceptance decision no later than April 19, 2019. All accepted sessions will be evaluated using a National Center standard program evaluation framework.
Lightning Talks at the Nexus Summit are 10-minute presentations (maximum of 10 PowerPoint slides) followed by 5 minutes of interactive question and answer discussion with audience members. Time limits will be enforced, and presenters are encouraged to focus their presentations to maximize impact in a short period of time. Slides, if used, should be mostly visual. Share your research, practical model, lessons learned, evaluation structure and data, outcomes, or innovative design in a dynamic, short presentation format.

Lightning Talk proposals will be reviewed by the Nexus Summit Proposal Review Committee.
The Nexus Fair is a 90-minute interactive learning environment that facilitates synergy among initiatives and organizations. Resource Exchange Stations are table-top presentations, and a unique opportunity to demonstrate your interprofessional tools, educational modules, or other practical resources that may be of interest and value to colleagues in practice and education. More than an exhibit hall, the Nexus Fair is "networking with a purpose," and provides attendees a forum to share resources with colleagues and make powerful connections.
The Nexus Fair Resource Exchange offers an opportunity for individuals or organizations to share interprofessional assets – tools, educational modules, and other practical resources that may be of interest and value to colleagues across practice and education. Resource Exchange stations are standard 6' by 30" tables with two chairs, and will be set up during one of the 90-minute Nexus Fair sessions. Resource Exchanges are not paid exhibitors, but instead are interactive tabletop presentation settings ideal for short bursts of conversation with attendees, short laptop presentations, handouts and other materials to share information about your resources and create key connections.
The Nexus Summit theme, Optimizing Interprofessional Clinical Learning Environments: Better Care, Better Value, Better Education drives an effort to highlight the practical success factors and critical intersection points between interprofessional education and collaborative practice throughout the nation. Selected Resource Exchange submissions will receive a 90-minute Nexus Fair assignment on August 19-20, 2019. Power is not provided to Resource Exchange Stations.
The Nexus Summit 2019 is bringing back the popular poster sessions during the Nexus Fair. Poster presentations are designed for presenters to interact with attendees and share and present research, innovation, student projects, practice models, evaluation models and results, policy proposals, and more. This is an opportunity for individuals or organizations to present data, outcomes, and evidence resulting from interprofessional practice and education initiatives.

AppleLatest News
Apple Launches New iPad Pro, MacBook Air and Mac Mini
By Anya Beuzeval Oct 31, 2018
Granting anticipated updates to a few of it's most popular devices, Apple unveiled various hardware refreshes in Brooklyn this week with the introduction of a new iPad Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac Mini.
The event, which was held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, follows on from Apple's first keynote event back in September where the tech giant unveiled the latest iPhone XS, XS Max and iPhone XR.
Confirming speculations, the newly refreshed iPad Pro eliminates the home button and now supports Apple's facial recognition technology, Face ID.
Although the device maintains it's 12.9-inch display, the body is much thinner, resulting in being 15% smaller than previous models. Similar to the newly released iPhone XR, the tablet features an edge-to-edge LCD display and is available in both 11 and 12.9-inches.
iPad Pro with Face ID
Stating that it makes the tablet 35% faster, Apple unveiled that the refreshed iPad operates on an excelling A12X bionic chip, a notch that is more powerful than the company's flagship XS and XS Max smartphones.
Alike Apple's high-end iPhone XS and XS Max, the tablet does not include a traditional headphone jack. So customers will need to adopt the use of wireless headphones or purchase an adapter to plug in. The device has swapped the Apple lightning jack with a USB-C port, which will allow users to connect to accessories like a digital camera and high-res desktop displays.
iPad Pro: Apple Pencil
Apple Pencil: Apple has updated the iPad Pro's high-tech stylus, the Apple Pencil. The devices pencil connects magnetically to the side of the tablet to automatically charge.
The iPad Pro is available in silver and grey finishes with the option to choose from a capacity of either 64GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB. The 11-inch model of the tablet will start at £769, with the 12.9-inch model starting at £969.
You can order the new iPad Pro direct from Apple.
Alongside a 13.3-inch, edge-to-edge retina display, the updated MacBook Air comes with Touch ID which allows users to unlock the laptop by scanning a fingerprint, a third-generation butterfly keyboard, and bezels that are 50% slimmer.
Bringing an even more portable design to the desired notebook, the 2018 MacBook Air delivers all-day battery life, audio speakers which are 25% louder, and built-in Siri.
The new MacBook features an 8th generation Intel dual-core i5 processor, Intel UHD graphics and up to 16GB of RAM. Additionally, the device features SSDs that reach up to 1.5TB in capacity.
The 3.5mm headphone jack remains, beside two USB-C ports. The laptop is also lighter than the previous model, weighing just 2.75 pounds.
Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Philip Schiller, states:
"Redesigning MacBook Air started with a stunning Retina display and all-day battery life, and then we added Touch ID and the Apple T2 Security Chip, the latest processors, incredible sound, the third-generation keyboard and Force Touch trackpad, high speed Thunderbolt 3 ports, and of course macOS Mojave in a beautiful, thinner, lighter, all-aluminum design that a whole new generation of MacBook Air customers are going to love."
Prices start at £1,199 and increase with the addition of more memory. The MacBook Air is available in gold, silver and space grey and is open to order direct from the Apple store today.
The Mac Mini, a desktop computer which connects to an external monitor, was also introduced at Apple's big event in Brooklyn.
With up to 5 times faster performance, the updated device features an 8th generation 6-core or quad-core processors and can support up to 64GB RAM and 2TB of flash storage.
Commenting on the Mac Mini, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Philip Schiller said:
"Mac mini is loved by customers for its ability to be used in incredibly diverse environments — from casual desktop use, to live professional performances, to multiple Mac mini computers powering through video renderings and compiling software code, to racks of thousands in giant app build farms — anywhere a small-but-mighty Mac is needed to get the job done."
As the Mac Mini hasn't been updated since 2014, Apple has made sure to include some big updates, including its new T2 security chip. Additionally, the Mac Mini features a range of ports which include four USB-C ports, an HDMI, Ethernet, and two USB-A ports.
The New Mac Mini is available to order direct from Apple today and starts at £799.

Nearly a decade after Hank Scott founded Molon Labe with the goal of disrupting the economy seating market passengers will finally get to fly on the company's staggered seat design. Some 20 ship sets of the "S1" staggered, short-range model are contracted for an A320 operator in China. The news was unveiled at the Future Travel Experience Global conference in Las Vegas this week. As with many deals in China the arrangement includes a local joint venture partner and a lack of details around who the specific carrier is, pending an announcement from the airline directly. But the contract is signed and deliveries of the kit are ongoing.
The key value proposition of the staggered seat is a wider offering for all travelers and an exceptionally wide center seat. This is accomplished by lowering the seat pan for the middle seat and sliding it slightly backwards from the outside pair. While the seat pans are identical width across the three (18.1″ on an A320 family layout) the seat back is three inches wider in the middle. Moreover, because of the arm rest layout the functional shoulder width available to the middle seat passenger ends up at five inches wider than the aisle or window seats.
The seats are light, coming in as low as 8.9kg per passenger in the short haul configuration. This bests even the Recaro BL3710 by more than a kilogram per passenger. Carbon fiber in the arm rests is an option to bring the weight down, though that depends on airline choice as the cost/weight balance is considered.
While the staggered design does take up slightly more space front to back Scott notes that the thinner seat design limits the impact to on board seating density. In a relatively high density 186 seat layout on an A320 the S1 staggered design requires the last three rows to lose an inch of pitch compared to a more traditional layout. While not ideal the company hopes that the wider seats make up for that decrease.
Scott is justifiably excited by the deal but is not resting on this initial success. The company is delivering demo versions of the seats to airlines around the globe and continues to participate in RFP processes with airlines. He notes that an A320-family operator in the Americas is considering the short haul option and a long haul opportunity may arise with a Boeing operator.
The "S2" long haul seat offers several unique features and improvements beyond the staggered layout that make it attractive in the market. The headrest features a "wing" on one side, similar to the fixed wing option Etihad introduced in 2014. Unlike that model, however, the Molon Labe version features a center pivot point allowing the passenger to lean to either side. It also adds a contour designed to cradle the neck rather than just a wing to lean against.
Sitting in the middle seat on the Molon Labe S1 Staggered Seat. Plenty of width to be had.
From an entertainment perspective the S2 model allows for a 15.6″ screen in the outside pair of seats and a monstrous 18.5″ screen for the center seat. Depending on the seat pitch this may prove to be too large a screen for passengers, but it is an option on board.
The staggered seat offers a unique approach to the cabin layout but it is not the initial plan Molon Labe entered the market with. The company started with a sliding seat design that allows the aisle seat to slide over the middle seat, making for a wider aisle. It also presents challenges with additional moving parts and concerns about the boarding process and sequencing of passengers on to the plane. It remains unsold in the market but Scott believes it could still succeed in a limited deployment. He is talking with airlines about deploying the S3 Side-Slip seat for just the exit rows or just the first few rows of the cabin. This would potentially deliver some of the boarding speed benefits without the weight penalty or the complexity of having the slip-slide at every row.
Fortunately for airlines the footprint of the Slip-Slide seat is identical to the non-sliding short haul model. The two designs can be fitted in a cabin concurrently, giving the airline more flexibility with the product.
Interesting design, but the seat stagger is in direct opposition of why the FAA requires seat backs to be full forward. Seat backs need to be forward so that the people in the row behind aren't hindered during an emergency evacuation. The stagger design would hinder egress of window seat passengers.
Yes, the evac concern is part of the design challenge. But these seats are certified and ready to install. And they will be flying by the end of 2019, as I understand it.

Beautiful area of the city, one of the nicest on the coast of Apulia. A church or monument every time you turn the corner, and with the summer nearing, more and more restaurants are opening their doors. A wonderful place to wander for a day.
We have been here for 3 weeks. A beautiful location with extremely helpful and friendly locals. I'm actually a bit reluctant to say too much as I don't want it to be spoilt by an influx of tourists.
We simply fell in love with this beautifull town! It is a great place to be, stroll along the streets of the old town, enjoy pugliese home made like food and pastry!
Typical Pugliese town - beautiful!
Much less touristy than Polignano a Mare, but with the same type architecture and vibe in the old part of town. Very accessible port and nice little castle, and the town is very lived in.
Lovely area to stroll around, the step massive steps down to the harbour front along the harbour frontage and to the Navel ships is a delight for anyone interested in strolling along soaking up the atmosphere.
very pleasant and interesting, lovely architecture like most of the old historical centers in Puglia. The waterfront with its castle and cannons is an attraction, specially for children. Not too turistic, keeps it local carachteristics. Plenty of nice places to eat and drink.
Gorgeous area with tiny streets, whitewashed buildings and a real feeling of being so separate from the hustle and bustle of the world. There is a great, well signed walk through the area for your first wander.
Get quick answers from Centro Storico di Monopoli staff and past visitors.

Пётр Александрович Корсаков (, село Буриги, Псковское наместничество — , Санкт-Петербург) — русский журналист, писатель, драматург, переводчик и цензор.

Биография
Из родовитых дворян. Родные братья П. А. Корсакова связаны в истории культуры с Пушкиным; Николай Александрович Корсаков — одноклассник Пушкина по Царскосельскому лицею, рано умерший в Италии, которому Пушкин посвятил несколько строк в «19 октября 1825 г.», Михаил Александрович Дондуков-Корсаков — вице-президент Академии наук, герой пушкинской эпиграммы «В Академии наук // заседает князь Дундук».

Корсаков получил домашнее образование. Служил в департаменте Министерства финансов (с 1803). В 1804 году, страстно мечтая о морской службе и путешествиях, заручившись содействием своего дяди Н. П. Резанова, начальника снаряжавшейся кругосветной экспедиции, Корсаков выдержал экзамен на гардемарина и был готов к отплытию; однако покорился воле отца, не решившегося отпустить сына в опасное путешествие. Эта страсть подвигнула Корсакова на первое литературное сочинение — компилятивный труд «Собрание путешествий, предпринятых агентами Лондонского общества африканских открытий во внутренность сей части света» (1807), описание географических открытий, извлечённое из английских источников.

Состоял (1807—1810) при русской миссии в наполеоновском Королевстве Голландия, будучи прикомандирован к ней для прикрытия некого «секретного поручения» (в чём оно заключалось, неизвестно). Сделался знатоком нидерландского языка и литературы, женился на голландке. В 1817 году издавал два журнала: «Русский пустынник, или Наблюдатель отечественных нравов», затем «Северный наблюдатель» (вышло по 26 номеров каждого). С 1835 года был цензором, и в этом звании, по свидетельству В. П. Бурнашева, отстаивал интересы авторов, хотя у него была слабость украшать рукописи своими вставками. В 1840 году Корсаков начал, вместе с С. А. Бурачком, издание имевшего реакционную репутацию журнала «Маяк». В «Маяке» Корсаков помещал огромное количество переводных и оригинальных стихотворений, эпиграммы (под псевдонимом Коломенский старожил), рассказы и историко-литературные статьи.

Корсаков сыграл большую роль в ознакомлении русского читателя с нидерландской классикой, переводил и комментировал Й. Вондела, Я. Катса и других нидерландских поэтов и драматургов. Переводы Корсакова встречали похвальные отзывы русских критиков разных направлений.

Bo Cain first walked into Metanoia when he was a "NOB", which is Citadel-speak for freshman. At the time, Citadel Junior Amber Mills was coordinating service projects with Metanoia. He remembers his weekly commitment seemed like a great chance to get off campus and get away from the whole "NOB culture" feeling but ended up meaning much more to him. Through the Krause Center for Leadership and Ethics, Citadel cadets offer support to the Youth Leadership Program through Monday afternoon "Clubs" where students dig into a planned curriculum that the cadets created themselves. Bo says it was hard work to craft the curriculum, but he was learning so much from the experience himself that he kept returning. Bo acknowledges becoming much more aware of what is really happening in life. "Metanoia is so different from the excess of King Street. It was eye opening to be in schools within the same county and realize that one is left to fall apart around students while others have state of the art facilities." Bo found that he was drawn to the way Metanoia "focuses on what the community wants for itself" and builds on "what already is great about the people in Chicora-Cherokee". As the son of a pastor, he says he has always been focused on supporting service activities, but his extended connection with Metanoia over the past four years has helped him realize how very lucky he is.

El noreste de la India (oficialmente Región Noreste) es la región más oriental de la India y representa una división administrativa tanto geográfica como política del país. Comprende ocho estados: Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Megalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim y Tripura. La región comparte una frontera internacional de 5.182 kilómetros (alrededor del 99% de su límite geográfico total) con varios países vecinos - 1.395 kilómetros con la Región autónoma del Tíbet, China en el norte, 1.640 kilómetros con Birmania en el este, 1.596 kilómetros con Bangladés en el sudoeste, 97 kilómetros con Nepal en el oeste y 455 kilómetros con Bután en el noroeste. Comprende una superficie de 262.230 kilómetros cuadrados, casi el 8% de la de la India, y es uno de los mayores salientes del mundo.

Los estados de la Región Noreste están oficialmente reconocidos por el Consejo del Noreste (NEC), constituido en 1971 como el organismo encargado del desarrollo de los estados nororientales. Mucho después de la creación del NEC, Sikkim formó parte de la Región Noreste como octavo estado en 2002. Los proyectos de conectividad de la Política de atender al Este conectan el noreste de la India con Asia oriental y la ASEAN. La ciudad de Guwahati, en Assam, es llamada la Puerta del Noreste y es la mayor metrópoli del noreste de la India.
