Bob Newhart -- "Stop It"
Bob Newhart performed a comedic sketch that was hysterical. In the sketch Bob played a therapist who gives some GREAT advice to his patients. My husband and I love to tease each other and other people when they get too worried, upset, etc. with the advice shared by Bob in this sketch. I found it today and had to put it up here. More artwork coming soon.
Yay! I love to laugh! It's good therapy, along with "STOP IT" of course, hahaha!

Q: Detect position:fixed with javascript I am trying to use Kangax's script from here: http://kangax.github.com/cft/ to detect those browsers that "properly" implement position:fixed as desktop browsers do, compared to mobile browsers so I can use jQuery to fake it on mobile browsers.
The code from Kangax works fine. However when I incorporate it into my page it doesn't. I think it must be some obvious mistake. Any help would be really appreciated!
////Detect whether position:fixed works (mobile browsers). Use JS to position #navwrap if not.
  //Kangax's script - begins at "function" on the next line.
function detected() {
    var container = document.body;
    if (document.createElement &&
    container && container.appendChild && container.removeChild) {
        var el = document.createElement("div");
        if (!el.getBoundingClientRect) {
            return null;
        }
        el.innerHTML = "x";
        el.style.cssText = "position:fixed;top:100px;";
        container.appendChild(el);
        var originalHeight = container.style.height, originalScrollTop = container.scrollTop;
        container.style.height = "3000px";
        container.scrollTop = 500;
        var elementTop = el.getBoundingClientRect().top;
        container.style.height = originalHeight;
        var isSupported = elementTop === 100;
        container.removeChild(el);
        container.scrollTop = originalScrollTop;
        return isSupported;
    }
    return null;
};
if (detected()) {
    alert ('non-mobile');
}
    else {
        alert ('mobile');
    }

In case it helps, the original code (stripped as much as possible):

Position Fixed Test

A: I guess that you are always getting non-mobile. You are checking that detected exists not executing the function. Change the end of your JavaScript to
if (detected()) {
  alert ('non-mobile');
}
else {
    alert ('mobile');
}

Is there a reason that you are creating the function as an anonymous function assigned to a variable and not as a named function e.g.
function detected(){
  // Function content.
}

A: Sorted. Thanks for the input.
Turns out my version of the code runs fine, but it has to be placed in the body of the page. If it is in the Head, even within a DOM Ready call it doesn't.
Just have to find out why now! But at least the code works.

Prized ink
I'm not surprising anyone by saying I'm passionate about riding a bicycle — and all the spokes of engagement that entails.
Along with accumulating thousands of miles each season, other aspects of the sport I enjoy include viewing professional races, especially the one-day Classics and the three Grand Tours, and selecting and reading books, mostly those that delve into the history of bicycling and ones containing old photographs. Even working and hanging out at the bike shop are part of the equation when it comes to providing pedal pleasure.
A renewed craving — linked to the enjoyment that two-wheeled machines bring to me — has been my interest in obtaining more autographs of those who have played an important role in cycling. With a collection that already contained the signatures of Lance Armstrong and Bob Roll, I recently wrote in my blog about a major enhancement ... the acquisition of an autograph by Eddy Merckx. In my opinion, the greatest cyclist of all time.
Well, I've added more to my tiny treasure of ink.
Firstly, I revisited the folks at the Horton Collection to acquire the autograph of Roger De Vlaeminck, displayed on a lithograph showing the Belgian cyclist in the 1976 Milan-San Remo race. He competed as a pro for 16 seasons, and was nicknamed "The Gypsy" because he was born into a family of traveling clothiers.
My reasoning behind the purchase is due to the fact that De Vlaeminck, who is still alive, is one of only two people to have won Paris-Roubaix, known as "The Hell of the North," on four occasions. Furthermore, he is one of the three riders who have captured all the Monuments, five classic bike races generally considered to be the oldest, hardest, and most prestigious one-day events in men's road cycling. The other two were Merckx and Rik Van Looy; all three are from Belgium.
Another prize was gaining the signature of Fabian Cancellara, a former professional road racer from Switzerland. I guess he caught my attention mainly because of his ties with Wisconsin-based Trek, my favorite brand of bike. Cancellara, whose nickname is "Spartacus," had a sterling career. Among his many achievements, he was a four-time world champion, and was a three-time winner of both Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders.
It was pretty easy getting Cancellara's autograph. I went to his website and learned that by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope, his signature would be mine ... for free.
Last, but not least, was an offer from London-based Rapha that I couldn't ignore. The company, which sells cycling apparel and related products, made available a special edition book titled "Balmamion: The Eagle of Canavese" by Herbie Sykes, an author I'm quite familiar with having read many of his other publications.
This work tells the story of Franco Balmamion, a relatively unknown cyclist, who astonished most everyone by winning the Giro d'Italia, a Grand Tour, in 1962 and again in 1963. Comparatively speaking, the Italian won little else, which makes the Giro feat pretty amazing.
What makes this particular book so notable is the fact that only 100 of them were printed and they are autographed by the Giro champion, as well as the author. What a trophy!
It is enjoyable dabbling in such a hobby. And it isn't limited to just cycling, as I have autographs from the sport of ice hockey, including those of Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay — two great players with the Detroit Red Wings.
Anyway, as always, thanks for following my blog and stay safe.
I cannot read Italian, but I do have the two-time Giro champion's autograph.

For the past 20 years, I have been exploring ways to find more speed and try and get as fit as possible for season of racing. It wasn't until 2005 that I started studying various training techniques from the 1950's onwards. Looking back in history to some of the great coaches and athletes in single sports that have gone before opened my eyes beyond the science focused era of today.
The thing I recognized most was that my aerobic conditioning could be better and I could maintain this aerobic conditioning longer throughout the season.
I am sure you've heard of low intensity training or LSD (Long Slow Distance). This has been the general rule for many coaches and athletes for the off-season or build phase of a training block. I don't have a problem with either of these philosophies; in fact, I encourage many athletes to follow this. It is safe and will allow your body to adapt slowly to the race season ahead. You will build fitness, but it will take a long time to get fit.
I have a slightly different approach to this conditioning phase of training. I call it "Best Easy". Best Easy is not recovery, it is not LSD, and it is not necessarily slow. Best Easy is prescribed to our long runs, long bikes, many of our swims, and all the extra prescribed runs in a Iek.
My thought was simple. If I can run 1 mile in 4:30/mile (2:45/km) then surely if I can get fit enough, I can do 6.2 miles (10km) a few percent off this. It worked. I improved my 10k times every year and I performed at every race I went to from 2006 to 2013.
It's possible your paces may be different, but the principles remain the same. Why can't you maintain your best 1 kilometer for 10 kilometers? You are not aerobically conditioned.
The development of your conditioning is even more critical when considering a high altitude race like the highest elevation triathlon in the world– The 106 West Triathlon. It's one thing to need a great engine at sea level, it's another at high altitude where the air is incredibly thin and your engine will need to work extra hard. I have written a generic program for the 106 West Triathlon and you will notice how heavily weighted the program is to developing the conditioning of the body. I have added strength, speed (VO2), and specific Ieks to this program. But, I never leave the most important conditioning workouts. They remain right up to 10 days out from the race.
A guide to Best Easy pace for those who like heart rate is 180 minus your age. This heart rate is a good guide. You can add 5 to 10 if you're well conditioned. For example, if you're a fit 45-year-old that would be 180-45 equals 135, plus 10 equals a 145 heart rate. This is your target Best Easy heart rate.
When I design a program I often start at the finish and work back to the start. I pencil in (yes, pencil because a great program is also a flexible program), the ideal pace and distance I want to cover and I want to be running at the end of the conditioning phase and step back from there.
My starting goal is 7 miles or 12 km, at about 8 minutes/mile or 5 minutes/ km pace, or just under and building to about 11 miles (18 km) at about 7 minutes/mile or 4:30 minutes/km pace.
The next 12 weeks continue to build. I slowly add distance and allow my body to slowly find a faster and faster rhythm at my best easy pace. This pace must not be forced.
Finally, after 16 weeks I should be near my goal pace and my goal distance of 20 miles (32km) and my best easy pace is now at 6:40 minutes/mile or 4:08 minutes/km pace.
The remaining 4 weeks of conditioning I maintain this distance and pace for my long run.
I always made my long run the priority workout of the week, even during race season. Hence, I put it after my recovery day of Monday and ran it on Tuesdays.
Maintaining my conditioning throughout the season is what allowed me to continually show up ready and fit to race. Maintaining this Best Easy long run throughout the season was as important as it was in the conditioning phase.
There are no secrets to success and better performance. The search for excellence will not be found in a 10 thousand dollar bike or a PoIar heart rate monitor. It is hard consistent work for long periods of time. Endurance sport is beautifully brutal, it will teach you things about yourself you never knew before. I encourage you to find your Best Easy pace and monitor the change in speed as your body adapts biomechanically and aerobically.

the people who are in front of him.
the event a night to remember!
so well with us, there was no issues at all. I hope he enjoyed his night too….
to anyone looking for an artist.
Please include the following – Event type, Location, date and time.


This interface is a part of the names library which is used to hide the representation of names. In Orbers Erlang mapping the pseudo-object names and the real IDL names have the same representation but it is desirable that the clients uses the names library so they will not be dependent of the representation. The lname interface supports handling of names e.g. adding and removing name components.
Note that the lname interface in orber does not contain a destroy function because the Names are represented as standard Erlang lists and therefor will be removed by the garbage collector when not in use.
This function returns a name where the new name component has been inserted as component N in Name.
This function just checks if Name is a correct IDL name before returning it because the name representation is the same for pseudo and IDL names in orber.
This function just returns the Name because the name representation is the same for pseudo and IDL names in orber.

Each era has its own symbol that embodies its spirit, its atmosphere and its possibilities. The Gothic period in Prague is embodied by St. Vitus Cathedral or the Bridge Tower, the Renaissance by Queen Anne's Summer Palace. Baroque is represented by the massive mass of St. Nicholas Cathedral, and if you say Art Nouveau, everyone thinks of the beautiful Municipal House, a symbol of the proud city.
For the transitional period between Art Nouveau and modern styles around World War I, the Lucerna Palace is just such a typical building. It is the manifestation of the futuristic dream of a modern city where social, cultural and commercial facilities meet in space. It is the first arcade building in Prague, the forerunner of all modern arcade buildings, corridors, vibrant underpasses and metro stations. Underneath the ornamental elements of the receding Art Nouveau period, the modern construction possibilities of reinforced concrete, luxferous ceilings, a combination of metals and large glass surfaces are used here in a completely unique way. Just as the Municipal House is an expression of the growing self-confidence and power of the city, which was considered the centre of the newly resurrected Czech nation, buildings such as the Lucerna and the Crown already belong to the new generation of entrepreneurs that emerged from the turbulent development of the Czech economy in the second half of the 19th century. They complete a phase of the building transformation of Prague, at the beginning of which stands the now much-discussed redevelopment of some of its old but picturesque parts, and at the end the construction of modern multi-purpose buildings with elements that already foreshadow the modernist architecture of the period between the world wars.
The spiritual father of the Lucerna Palace is the engineer, designer and builder Vácslav Havel (1861-1921). He came from an old Prague family and, although he was originally from relatively modest circumstances, he eventually managed to establish a building firm that focused on the construction and sale of tenement houses. The projects were mostly created by the owner himself, but since he was unable to complete his studies due to his material circumstances (he was not awarded his degree in engineering until 1917), he had to have an experienced engineer as a partner. For many years this was the builder Josef Čamský, who also participated in the design of the first stage of the construction of the Lucerna.
The idea to build a modern multi-purpose centre in the centre of Prague was born in 1905, and therefore V. Havel was looking for suitable building plots. He succeeded in purchasing the old Bělský Palace in Vodičkova Street and the adjacent house. In 1906, preparatory work began and on 16 September 1907, a building permit was issued by the magistrate of the Royal Capital of Prague.
Construction took place between 1907 and 1911, and in 1909 the use of parts of the building was already permitted. The result was a seven-storey, three-tract building, which was connected by a staircase to a transverse two-storey court building with a hall on the second and third floors. The courtyard between the two buildings was covered by a glass structure. The main façade facing Vodičkova Street was designed to be symmetrical, eight-axial, with the exception of the parterre, and articulated on the sides by continuous bay windows and balconies with richly decorated railings.
A simple attic in the centre with a tympanum completed the façade, which gave the building its name. The ground floor and the mezzanine were divided by large areas of shopfronts interrupted in the second axis from the right behind the entrance to the passage. The decorative sculpture and stucco decoration, originally theatrical but soon converted into a biograph, occupied the central and left balconies. There were 824 seats in the auditorium. Underneath, in the place of today's cafeteria, was a foyer with a dressing room, which was entered by a three-armed staircase from the vestibule, whose mirrored wall ended the passage of the first stage of construction.
In 1912, the Council of the Capital City of Prague opened the entrance to the building with a staircase with the entrance to the staircase. The garden of the Aerenthal Palace in Štěpánská Street was allowed to be converted into a building plot in 1919, and by combining it with the space of the adjacent house no. 628/II, the building could be extended. In 1913 a building permit was issued and work began. Havel's partner in this stage of the construction was Dobroslav Bezectný and the later academic Stanislav Bechyně worked on the statistical calculations. Despite all the technical and financial difficulties caused, among other things, by the outbreak of the World War, work continued until completion in 1921.
The result was a building that contained unique architectural elements for its time. The connection of Vodičkova Street and Štěpánská Street created a new passage and thus the first passage house in Prague. The other passages, Hvězda and the house at Nováků, which are often erroneously included in the Lucerna complex, were built later and were connected to the original passage. The space contained several halls, offices for shops, apartments and studios, and in the passage there were shops and self-service refreshments on the principle of the then modern cafeterias.

At first, you may need to entice the cat to take an interest in a stuffed animal as a wrestling partner, by making the stuffed animal move around like it is walking towards the cat. Once the cat grabs it, let go. If the cat is overly determined to use your hands as a chew toy at every opportunity, keeping some stuffed animals around to quickly redirect the cat to when he is in "that mood" will... There's even a slightly humorous Wiki on how to get your cat to stop walking on your keyboard. One of the things it recommends is not showing your cat things on the computer.
The look of confusion and embarrassment on her face was priceless. Finally she would respond to a chase invitation, run three or four steps, and then stop, sigh ("I know where this is going"), and grumpily come back to the couch and lie down. Dogs play checkers, but cats play chess.... If that doesn't work, Koski recommends simply walking away when licking becomes excessive, which causes the cat to associate licking you with you disappearing. With time and consistency, your cat should learn that you are a lick-free zone.
Police forced to deny rumours bizarre cat-like creature with human face has been found. Pictures of a small creature with a human-like face have been circulated on social media... The goal is for your dog to learn that rubbing against the furniture is not acceptable, and he stops doing it. You should aim for your dog needing less and less correction, and just listening to your NO! command, to even where just a snap of the finger, or a look from you will stop him from even wanting to rub on the furniture.
Cat Dream Symbols – Cats are popular household pets Many homes have one or two. They are elusive, represent duality – male and female energy, self-reliant (representing your own independence), demanding, loving and fantastic companions.
If you really don't want the cat in your bed, close the bedroom door, or put the cat in a room where you can shut the door. Make sure it has food, water and a litterbox in the room. Make sure it has food, water and a litterbox in the room.

Q: How to handle multiple windows in Electron application with React.JS? I am working on an Electron application which uses React.JS for building user interfaces. Now, I have to make a preference window which is different from the main window. But, I am not sure how to tackle this because of multiple entry points' dilemma. I read that using modals could be an alternative but I wanted to do this the usual way by making different windows and communicating between them through ipc.
Any advice on the matter is appreciated!

A: you can do this with routes
When you open a new window, load a page like this instead of using the main app.html file.
prefsWindow.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/app.html#/prefs`);

And then in the routes file:

Tamaraws to face Eagles for UAAP crown
By Rocky Nazareno 09/19/2011
Far Eastern University averted a major endgame collapse with sheer tenacity off the boards in its last offensive to turn back a hard-fighting Adamson U, 78-74, yesterday and earn the right to face Ateneo de Manila in the Finals of the UAAP men's basketball tournament at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
With the Falcons threatening to complete a splendid rally from 11 points down going into the last two minutes, the Tamaraws protected a 74-72 lead with three offensive rebounds, allowing them to waste the remaining 51.2 seconds and preserve the win fashioned out before a jampacked Cubao arena.
Thus, the less-seeded Tamaraws, who had to prevail over the Falcons twice, return to the Finals against the Blue Eagles on Saturday and will seek their first UAAP title since their Grand Slam run from 2003 to 2005 during the Arwind Santos era..... MORE

Q: Need help converting a UTC date string in Java I have a game client an Google App Engine server.  My server sends the client a UTC timedate string which is milliseconds since epoch that represents the datestamp of the last play.  I want my client to report how many days/hours/min since the last play.  I have this working in my iOS client but can't get it to work in Android.  I've tried many options, some using Joda-Time some Date objects that are straight Java, the time is always offset by a couple hours.  What's odd is the time is off not on the hour.. could be off 2 hours 34 min.. so I don't think my issue is just a timezone thing or it would be on the hour no?
Essentially I need to get this UTC time and then get the current time in UTC as well.. compare the difference to get days/hours/min
Here's what I have, I'm using the Joda-Time library:
For example my server sends me this string "1392392591.0" (happens to be utc time for approx 7:45am PST)
public String convertDateString ( String date ) {

        Float gameEpoch = Float.parseFloat( date );

        DateTime now = new DateTime();
        DateTime gameTime = new DateTime(gameEpoch.longValue() * 1000 );

        Period p = new Period(gameTime, now, PeriodType.dayTime());

        String dateString = "";
        if(p.getDays() > 0)
            dateString =  (p.getDays() + " days " + p.getHours() + " hours ago");
        else if(p.getHours() > 0)
            dateString =  (p.getHours() + " hours " + p.getMinutes() + " minutes ago");
        else if(p.getMinutes() > 0)
            dateString =  (p.getMinutes() + " minutes ago");
        else
            dateString = "Just Now";

        return dateString;
    }

A: Don't convert from a String to a Float. Floats only have 7 significant digits, hence gameEpoch will always be imprecise. Use a double, or better yet, a long.

A: The answer by Tony the Pony is correct.
By the way, in the last half of your example code, you are working too hard. Joda-Time offers a PeriodFormatterBuilder class to help you generate those descriptive strings.
This example code needs some finessing, but will get you headed in the right direction.
// Period(int years, int months, int weeks, int days, int hours, int minutes, int seconds, int millis)
Period period = new Period( 0, 0, 0, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0 );

PeriodFormatter formatter = new PeriodFormatterBuilder()
        .printZeroAlways()
        .appendYears()
        .appendSuffix( " year", " years" )
        .appendSeparator( ", " )
        .printZeroRarelyLast()
        .appendMonths()
        .appendSuffix( " month", " months" )
        .appendSeparator( ", " )
        .appendWeeks()
        .appendSuffix( " week", " weeks" )
        .appendSeparator( ", " )
        .appendDays()
        .appendSuffix( " day", " days" )
        .appendSeparator( ", " )
        .appendHours()
        .appendSuffix( " hour", " hours" )
        .appendSeparator( ", and " )
        .appendMinutes()
        .appendSuffix( " minute", " minutes" )
        .toFormatter();

String timeSpanDescription = formatter.print( period );

Dump to console…
System.out.println( "period: " + period );
System.out.println( "timeSpanDescription: " + timeSpanDescription );

When run…
period: P2DT3H4M
timeSpanDescription: 0 years, 2 days, 3 hours, and 4 minutes

Astronauts' Space Walk Underway: Watch Live
Flight Engineers Suni Williams and Aki Hoshide began their second spacewalk in less than a week at 7:06 a.m. EDT today. They are working to complete the installation of a Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) that was hampered last week by a possible misalignment and damaged bolt threads.
Astronauts Complete Space Walk
Williams and Hoshide built some improvised tools to assist with their installation tasks. The tools will be used to clean the bolts and receptacles and repair the bolt threads.
If the astronauts are unable to install the MBSU, an option exists to return it to the airlock for further analysis and troubleshooting.
Flight Engineer Joe Acaba is the Canadarm2 operator and will monitor the spacewalkers from inside the International Space Station. Hoshide will ride the Canadarm2 attached to a portable foot restraint to the MBSU worksite.
Today's spacewalk is scheduled to last 6.5 hours and includes other tasks postponed from last week's excursion if the MBSU installation task is completed on time.
Last week's spacewalk lasted eight hours and 17 minutes making it the third longest in U.S. spaceflight history. It was originally scheduled for 6.5 hours before mission controllers and the astronauts struggled to install the MBSU.
Today's spacewalk is the third for Expedition 32. Commander Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Yuri Malenchenko completed a five-hour, 51-minute excursion on Aug. 20. They worked to move a Strela-2 cargo boom which allows the Pirs docking compartment to be undocked at a later date.

Zambian Finance Minister Margaret Mwanakatwe says the government has received unsolicited offers for a 17-percent share of ZCCM.
Canadian miner First Quantum Minerals (TSX:FM) has been outed by the Zambian finance minister as having approached the government seeking a 17-percent share of the government's mining investment arm, ZCCM-IH.
ZCCM is majority-owned by Lusaka, and according to finance minister Margaret Mwanakatwe, there are "multiple unsolicited offers" (of which First Quantum is one) for the government's directly-owned share.
"The offers relate to the ministry's 17-percent holding in ZCCM-IH and a sale would be subject to cabinet approval," she said at the Mining Indaba conference in Cape Town.
Another 60 percent of ZCCM is owned by the Industrial Development Corporation, a state-owned company.
First Quantum has had a dicey relationship with Zambia over the last few years — with the company and the African country at odds over a new mining tax.
Miners and the government have been engaged in a war of words over the new taxes, with the government threatening to expel foreign workers if international companies started laying off their workforces in response to the higher taxes.
First Quantum said shortly afterwards that it would be firing 2,500 workers anyway — though it backtracked on that threat.
The scuffle over taxes and workers doesn't seem to be keeping the Canadian company out of Zambia however. On Monday (February 4), it was revealed First Quantum was making a pass at the share of the Kansanshi mine it didn't already own for a cool US$700 million — though that news is yet to be confirmed.
The 20 percent of Kansanshi First Quantum doesn't own is owned by ZCCM.
Kansanshi is the largest copper mine in Africa, producing over 250,000 tonnes of the red metal in 2017. According to First Quantum is has a nameplate capacity of 340,000 tonnes.
Zambia itself clocks in as the second-largest copper producing African nation, behind the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kinsanshi accounts for a third of Zambia's total copper output.
Indaba, which runs from Monday to Thursday (February 7), has seen a mix of approaches to resource nationalism, with the president of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo saying during his speech that deals must no longer be made to overly benefit companies operating in Africa.
Meanwhile on the sidelines, the mining and petroleum minister from Ethiopia, Samuel Urkato told Reuters that cutting taxes was exactly what they had been doing to attract more investment.
"We are reforming all the laws, the national mining policy and the strategy that goes with that policy. These reforms include all fiscal regimes too in order to compete for global mining investments," said Urkato.
Meanwhile, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa told the conference that the mining industry had his support, and Zambia reiterated its intention to enforce a copper import tax— another of the sticking points for First Quantum in the country.

Don't Close Your Eyes
Holly Seddon
Don't Close Your Eyes by Holly Seddon A juicy, powerful read featuring twin sisters who have drifted apart, and the shocking family secrets that bind them—for readers of The Woman in Cabin 10 and I Let You Go When the past knocks, someone must answer. In a bustling suburban neighborhood in Manchester, England, sits an unassuming house. There is no sign of life behind the unwashed windows, but Robin Marshall is inside. Driven by fears and obsessions, racked by anxiety, Robin is frantically pushing her body through punishing workouts, eating little, haunted by what happened to her family when she was a girl. Robin's only connection to the outside world is through her rear windows and the lives she spies upon in the apartment house across the way. Then a stranger starts pounding on her door. Sarah Marshall is Robin's twin, estranged from her sister after their parents' betrayal and a violation at the hands of a man she should have been able to trust. Sarah has recently lost custody of the child she loves more than anything and has set off on her own, hoping that somewhere in England she can find Robin, the braver twin, the rock star, the survivor, the savior. These two young women, polar opposites, cannot go on unless they reckon with the past. While Sarah, slowly unraveling, searches for her sister's hiding place, Robin sees another life hanging in the balance in the lighted windows across the street. It is a life only Robin can save—as long as she never looks away. In a novel that is stunning in its twists, shocks, and gripping psychological suspense, two sisters find themselves on the razor's edge of sanity. Untold secrets, a ghastly lie, and suffocating guilt hold them back. Only one astounding act can set them free. And one last revelation will leave readers gasping in surprise.

Your child is a ball of energy—but how do you know whether it's a normal characteristic or a symptom of something else? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is prevalent among children but also very difficult to diagnose because many of the symptoms are also perfectly normal at a particular age or point in the development spectrum. To the point, some people reach adulthood without ever knowing they have ADHD.
Diagnosing ADHD is complicated further because there is no one-stop test for the disorder. A blood or urine test will not determine whether your child has ADHD—instead, it's up to the experienced minds of doctors. An ADHD diagnosis is reached after a medical professional observes the child's behavior and has discussions with the child, parents—and teachers. Teachers are an important factor in the ADHD equation, as they often suspect the disorder first. Poor grades can be evident of an inability to focus on one topic at a time, and outbursts in class may reflect an inability to suppress impulses.
If you decide to get your child evaluated for ADHD, your pediatrician or a mental health professional will do a thorough evaluation. There are several components that are needed in order to make a diagnosis of ADHD. A physical exam and an assessment of how the child is performing behaviorally, socially and academically is extremely important. This will be based on feedback from the parents, any other caregivers, teachers, and others who have consistent interaction with the child or adolescent. It is also important to get the child's health history as well as the family history.
If the diagnosis is positive, begin appropriate treatment immediately. Certain medications can help calm your child's hyperactivity. Believe it or not, the most effective ADHD medications are stimulants. In many cases, stimulants actually have an opposite effect on hyperactivity. There are several short and long-acting stimulants that are considered the gold standard for medication treatment of ADHD.
Nonstimulants have recently gained popularity in treating ADHD. Strattera and Clonidine are approved by the FDA for treatment of ADHD. No matter what your child's treatment, the prescribing doctor should keep a close watch on dosage and side effects to make sure the treatment is most effective.
ADHD is most successfully treated with a combination of medication and behavior modification therapy. Helping your child to control his or her behavior can be paramount for success in school and social settings. Recently, ADHD was approved as a condition qualifying for special education. Your child might benefit from extra or modified help at school.


I have two of these. They are both barely used. One was for my wife and only has about 30 minutes of playtime. If you're interested in one for a discount from new, please reach out to: Brad Einhorn. I can send videos of them being played. Can also thrown in a bunch of great extras to help you get started, books, and different shoulder rests I tried but weren't for me.

EXTENDED PLAY:
Depeche Mode Remixes 2: 81–11 (Reprise)
It's not every day that a major artist releases a 37-track, three-disc set of remixes comprising the last thirty years of their career — which is likely because I don't think it's ever happened before. In that sense, Remixes 2: 81–11 is breaking some sort of ground that even the 36-track Remixes: 81–04 couldn't touch: This is a collection that not only bolsters the band's unwavering relevance as songwriters and synthpop pioneers, but makes a distinct connection to their enduring influence on modern club music. Admittedly, 37 tracks is a lot for even the most stalwart of fans to digest, so I went ahead and pulled five of the highlights — and lowlights! — for this very special Depeche Mode Remix Redux:
BEST CHOICE OF OPENER: "Dream On" (Bushwacka! Tough Guy Mix)
Produced by one-half of Layo & Bushwacka!, the first song on this collection is, for all intents and purposes, the kind of thing you'd hear at 10:30 P.M. in the club — a stark, tech-house beat that most DJs would call "tracky" under a vocal that only serves to set the hypnotic pace. It is not, by far, the most commercial track on this collection, and because of that, it's also a genius choice: Clubgoers will appreciate the deep house warm-up, while dudes who really loved Mike Koglin's weird trance version of "Enjoy The Silence" in 1998 will feel rightfully duped.
BEST REMIX TO BEAT THE ORIGINAL: "Peace" (SixToes Remix)
2009's "Peace," from Sounds of the Universe, fell somewhat flat in its original incarnation as a downtempo, low-slung bass-driven single; there was something to the lyric and the vocal that the music failed to express. The answer, as SixToes saw it, was a human element. Strings, tabla, and even banjo transform the original into something not even Martin Gore could conceive: a neo-Americana Depeche Mode.
BEST REMIX FOR BEING IN A K-HOLE: "When the Body Speaks" (Karlsson & Winnberg Remix)
If you lived in New York at a certain time, and you know something about the mid-'90s Save The Robots afterhours parties, and you've seen what that place looked like at six in the morning, and you actually feel nostalgic for it, then boy, have I got a remix for you.
FAILED ATTEMPT AWARD: "Never Let Me Down Again" (Digitalism Remix)
The ultra-distorted electro style of Justice and Digitalism seems like a good idea in context, but when you try to remix a song whose major asset is its melody by featuring a dysmorphic synth that borders on atonal, it's just not going to be good. And that's being generous.
THE VINCE CLARKE VS. ALAN WILDER SHOWDOWN: "Behind the Wheel" (Vince Clarke Remix)
Two ex-members of Depeche Mode — both respected and accomplished in their own right — provided remixes for this collection, and thirty years down the road, that's a pretty fantastic feat. But if you have to compare them (and you don't, but I decided to!), there's something about Clarke's track that slightly edges out Wilder's take on "In Chains." It could be that Wilder seemed intent on making a proper Depeche Mode song — or that his trusted playbook provided a missed opportunity to recreate what we think we know about the band. But ultimately, it was something less hypothetical than that: Clarke's revision suggests that only one ex-member of Depeche Mode has been keeping up with underground techno since Songs of Faith and Devotion.
THE DISPATCH:
In the face of immediate cries of plagiarism following the premiere of their new single "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall," Coldplay clarify: The song was simply "inspired" by the 1990 single "Ritmo de la Noche" by Mystic, which was in turn based on another song called "I Go to Rio," which was written by Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson and later sung by everyone from Peggy Lee to the Muppets, among others. Says a Coldplay spokesperson, "Allen and Anderson are credited as writers" in the album's liner notes.
The 2012 Coachella festival is going double or nothing: Organizers have announced that the event will take place over two weekends — with each weekend being ostensibly, but not likely identical.
Björk's new album, Biophilia, is shaping up to be an experiment in technology and mobile apps: The record will be released as an "app album" for the iPad, featuring ten mini-apps to go with each song. A preview of the first song, "Crystalline," hit the web this week.
Legendary hip-hop DJ Mister Cee — who, if you recall, was arrested in March after allegedly engaging in a sexual act in public with a young man — pled guilty to loitering for the purpose of engaging in a prostitution offense. Cee has yet to explicitly comment on the incident, or for that matter, on the implications about his sexuality, but took to Twitter instead: "SO WHAT!" he wrote. "Some people have such depressing lives they get joy from other's mistakes."
Blondie are prepping the release of Panic of Girls — their first new album in seven years — with a physical release slated for July. UK fans, however, got an early taste of the album through Amazon's digital download store this week, and the preview is promising: Retromodern and yet actually modern, the album also features young Brooklyn songwriter Zach Condon — who adds trumpet to "Wipe Off My Sweat" and whose band, Beirut, originally wrote and recorded "A Sunday Smile."
If you're looking for some new DJ mixes to stream, BUTT magazine is hoping to fill the void with a new exclusive series of mixtapes available from their specially designed BUTT audio-player. The first mix is up now, featuring Berlin DJs Discodromo and Boris — the latter of whom is a Paradise Garage vet and former heyday resident at Berlin's legendary Panorama Bar.
Adele has canceled the remaining nine dates on her North American tour after coming down with laryngitis. "There is absolutely nothing I can do but take the doctor's advice and rest some more," she said.
This week's bizarre confession: Take That's Robbie Williams undergoes weekly testosterone treatment. "Went to see a Hollywood doctor, had my blood tests," he explained. "He said, 'You've got the testosterone of a 100-year-old man.' And then everything made sense. It was kind of an epiphany."
COMING OUT:
Nomi Ruiz came to light as the breakout star of the debut self-titled Hercules & Love Affair album; her contributions to "You Belong" and "Hercules Theme" set a tone that producer Andy Butler had trouble recreating on album number-two. This week, Ruiz returns with her own group, Jessica 6, and a debut album that belies their new-band status. Equal parts disco, proto-house, and coquettish R&B, See The Light plays with a lot of the ideas that Ruiz explored with Hercules, but shoots less for homage and more for total embodiment. While "Prisoner Of Love" will get much of the press for its Chicago-styled piano house and Antony Hegarty guest spot, tracks like "Champagne Bubbles/Remember When" invoke an anachronistic Mary J. Blige nestled into a late night Quiet Storm slot on 1980s R&B radio. This is, in case you're wondering, a pretty awesome thing.
He reinvented himself on Broadway with work on the Tony Award-winning Spring Awakening, meaning that Duncan Sheik has outlived most of the singer-songwriters that came up alongside him in the mid-'90s. (Ubiquitous hits like "Barely Breathing" tend to add to one's shelf-life considerably, if not subsidize the lesser-selling albums destined to follow.) Off Broadway, Sheik's more recent albums have mellowed even further with age, and Covers '80s takes this slow-motion weathering to its next logical step: A collection of twelve totally inoffensive, and even occasionally endearing interpretations of hits by Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Talk Talk, and, umm, The Thompson Twins won't set the world on fire, but they will remind you how old you are in a gentle, toe-tapping kind of way.
Having lost lead singer Tyondai Braxton to the dreaded solo project just last summer, Battles wasted no time in regrouping as a three-piece and putting together Gloss Drop — which, when all is said and done, barely registers any sort of recognizable absence from being one man down. The largely instrumental album draws firmly on cultural rhythmic traditions ("Dominican Fade"), post-rock detritus ("Futura"), and traditionally electronic dance music-gone-analog ("Sweetie & Shag"), but tracks like "Ice Cream" — featuring Kompakt techno stalwart Matias Aguayo on vocals — remind us that Battles still know how to put together a memorable, if not challenging hook. Braxton may have been the voice, but he didn't own the vision.
Also out today: Peter Murphy — Ninth (Nettwerk), Cults — Cults (Columbia), Sondre Lerche — Sondre Lerche (Redeye), Trentemøller — Late Night Tales (LNT), Candi Staton — Evidence: The Complete Fame Records Masters (Kent), Sophie Ellis-Bextor — Make A Scene (EBGB's), The Ladybug Transistor — Clutching Stems (Merge)
SOUND & VISION:
Clock Opera — "Belongings"
If I wanted to make some sort of official pick-hit of the week, "Belongings" would earn the title, hands down. Clock Opera's latest single draws most obviously from Steve Reich, Peter Gabriel, and Elbow, and yet somehow manages to come out a gorgeously reticent pop song that makes every other record that came out this week feel a little less adventurous — and nowhere as emotionally resonant. It's stunning.
Take That — "Love Love"
The latest single from the revamped electropop Take That sounds more like Gary Numan fronting The Killers than it does the band responsible for "Greatest Day," but the group's recent musical reinvention is one of many reasons why they're so damn relevant. "Love Love" is the lead single for X-Men: First Class.
The Grates — "Turn Me On"
After two well-received albums, Australian indie-pop duo The Grates decided they needed to live a little — so they moved to Brooklyn and pledged to stay until a third album was in the can. That record, Secret Rituals, is likely the one they needed to make: "Turn Me On" makes good on the title of their 2008 album Teeth Lost, Hearts Won; it's wrought with fear, not paralyzed by it.
Ford & Lopatin — "World Of Regret"
The debut album by Ford & Lopatin is called Channel Pressure, and it comes out today along with this video for "World of Regret," a hyper-animated clip that's probably more acid trip than acid house. Fans of carnival posters with dolphins on them — or airbrushed wolf sweatshirts, for that matter — will revel in its ironic artistic merit.

Any draws announced for the second wave yet?
I wouldn't use the Yarygin as the only measure of their ability. It's probably not easy to travel to Siberia in January and compete. And I doubt these guys had much time to acclimate to the area.
It's like when we perform well at Beat the Streets against foreign wrestlers. Our results there are generally more impressive than our results at worlds.
Gilman got beat 12-6 by Magomedov, who is an awesome wrestler. I wouldn't be so harsh regarding his result.
I thought he outgrew 57kg. Definitely a serious threat to take out Uguev this year.
Completely agree. Also, it was 10-6 and Gilman was about to gut wrench him over but made bad mistake to make it 12-6 instead of 10-8.
I mean yeah, that's what they are. Bronze medal contenders.
We have youth coming up behind them, but if they're the reps again in 2019 it's not the worst thing in the world. Both have a good shot at scoring team points and potentially medaling.
I think you are being to nice. Hands down the worst I've ever seen. What was he doing? He was ahead! Waaaaaayyyyyyy ahead!
Gilman looked great against Cuba.
In his match against Magomedov, looked like Gilman's left club to the head really ticked off the Russian who then proceeded to put on a freestyle clinic. What a technician Magomedov is. Strong as a bull too.
I actually thought Gilman looked alright. We'll obviously have to wait to see how he does tonight, but he got to his leg attacks a lot more last night than he did at worlds. I think that Russian might be emerging as an early 2019 favorite at the weight and Gilman has shown he's pretty good at making adjustments, so I wouldn't rule him out quite yet. He could certainly win it if he gets hot, but Bronze is probably the reasonable expectation at this point. Good depth at this weight for the USA too. I think we have 3 legit medal contenders for 2020 at 57 kg in Gilman, Fix, and Lee. Fix and Lee might have the most upside in terms of bursting on the scene to compete for a title, but I think Gilman is a step ahead at this point. Regardless, we're in pretty good shape here. Amazing to think back just a few years ago when we would have killed for that kind of depth at any weight, and yet many here would list this weight as one of our "holes." Awesome to see the development.
Gilman cleanly dominated the Turk in repechage. He was a lot taller and seemed to be stronger. 3 push outs, a double leg into a lace (the Turk kind of looked for an elevator off the double then bailed...I thought it was a 4pt move), then finished it off with 2 more push outs for a 9-0.
They'd look good if it were 1992.
Why hasn't Zain wrestled yet? I'm confused.
Zain up 3-0 at break over Rashidov, a 2017 World Silver medal winner down at 61. Zain much more active.
Rashidov with 2 tds in the 2nd to take it 4-3. Zain's offense looked pretty strong against a really good defensive wrestler but when Rashidov committed to shots, he scored. Zain looks like he has small defensive liabilities right now on the world level that he'll need to tighten up.
Agreed. When Rashidov got his first td pretty quickly into the 2nd, I knew it was coming. Zain took 3 real shots, the latter most being a pretty poor one that almost bit him. Against a guy of that caliber, that's not enough.
Maybe that's why he stopped shooting. I'd have to watch the repay but did anyone else think he gave up exposure on that last takedown by the Russian? I thought it was 4 at first.
yep, i'm fine with playing defense only under 30 seconds but rashidov had the entire 3 minute second period to get a read and feel up the timing of Zain. You can't hold off a talent of rashidov for 3 minutes when he knows he has to score. He will find a way to do so. And that's the match. From 3 minutes till 45 seconds zaddick was telling zain to get one, because he knew the inevitable.
Yes I did. But he took 2 great shots in the first converting one. Then he didn't shoot again until probably about a minute left in the match. He could have easily gotten dinged with passivity. That said, Rashidov did quite literally nothing for the entire first period aside from conserve energy.
Gilman wins via offense in second. And I should point out the ref was very much a part of this one. Put both guys down in second. Couldn't communicate well with Mongolian. Interesting.
I noticed the Mongolian had a throw by that did work — he was ready for Gilman's push. That said, Gilman worked in shots as well and mixed it up. Much prefer seeing the Gilman with shots.

| No conclusive evidence Russia behind MH17 downing: Malaysia transport minister
May 31, 2018 Hot news!, Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine No comments
There is no conclusive evidence to confirm that Russia was responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, Malaysian transport minister Anthony Loke said on Wednesday (May 30).
Investigators probing the 2014 downing of flight MH17 said last Thursday for the first time that the missile which brought down the plane over eastern Ukraine originated from a Russian military brigade. All 298 people onboard died.
Speaking to Channel NewsAsia on Wednesday, Mr Loke said: "There is no conclusive evidence to point at Russia under the JIT (Joint Investigative Team) evidence."

| More than 1,000 protest at Myanmar embassy in Malaysia against Rohingya atrocities
November 27, 2016 Malaysia, Myanmar, News No comments
By Naim Zulkifli
KUALA LUMPUR: Some 1,000 people held a demonstration on November 25 in front of the Myanmar embassy here to protest against atrocities against the country's Rohingya Muslims. The group, comprising members of a coalition of 42 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and Rohingya, held the demonstration after Friday prayers after walking 2.6km from the Tabung Haji mosque. They decried the escalating violence in Rakhine State in northern Myanmar, where a military crackdown since last month has reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 86 Rohingya. The participating organisations were Umno Youth, Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia, Pertubuhan Martabat Jalinan Muhibbah Malaysia and Pertubuhan Permuafakatan Majlis Ayahanda Malaysia. When they reached Jalan Madge, near the embassy, they were stopped by police. As emotions were running high, a group of men believed to be Rohingya tried to break through the police blockade, but this proved futile. City police chief Datuk Amar Singh said three Rohingya men and a Malaysian man were detained for investigations under the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012. "The Rohingya were arrested, as under the act, foreigners are prohibited from participating in any assembly, while the Malaysian man was arrested because he tried to provoke a situation."
Red Shirts leader Datuk Seri Jamal Mohd Yunos and four other representatives later sent a memorandum to the embassy urging the Myanmar government to put an end to the persecution of the Rohingya. "I am sad about what has happened there (Myanmar), where Muslims have been killed ruthlessly. On behalf of other participants today (yesterday), I urge the Malaysian government to sever diplomatic relations with the government of Myanmar," he said.

October 15, 2016 Myanmar, News No comments
Myanmar's security forces have now killed at least 26 people in response to attacks on police that have sparked a dramatic escalation in violence in a Muslim-majority region along its border with Bangladesh, according to reports in state media. Armed men believed to be from the long-oppressed Rohingya Muslim minority launched a coordinated assault on three border police posts in the early hours Sunday, killing nine police, injuring five and making off with dozens of weapons and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition. Military personnel and police reinforcements have poured into the Muslim-majority township of Maungdaw, northern Rakhine State, and have clashed with groups of up to 300 men, armed with pistols, swords and knives, according to official reports.
| Dutch probe : MH17 downed by launcher from Russia
September 28, 2016 Hot news!, Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine No comments
Dutch-led criminal investigators said Wednesday they have solid evidence that a Malaysian jet was shot down by a Buk missile moved into eastern Ukraine from Russia. Wilbert Paulissen, head of the Central Crime Investigation department of the Dutch National Police, said communications intercepts showed that pro-Moscow rebels had called for deployment of the mobile surface-to-air weapon, and reported its arrival in rebel-controlled areas of eastern Ukraine. From that and other evidence collected by the Joint Investigation Team, "it may be concluded MH17 was shot down by a 9M38 missile launched by a Buk, brought in from the territory of the Russian Federation, and that after launch was subsequently returned to the Russian Federation," Paulissen told a news conference. The conclusions were billed as results of a two-year Dutch-led criminal probe of the disaster that claimed 298 lives.

SMEs don't fear interest rate rises, claims ICAEW survey
Small businesses are not fazed by the idea of an interest rate increase, new figures have shown – but what could a hike mean for firms?
Interest rate rises have been talked about ever since the first signs of the UK's economic recovery. As confidence improves and employment grows, analysts have been predicting that the era of record low, 0.5 per cent base rates could soon come to an end.
But a new survey from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW) shows that even though business organisations have been warning against an increase, small firms are not fazed by the idea.
Unperturbed
The survey of more than 500 small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) showed that some 78 per cent of respondents did not expect a future increase in interest rates to have a negative impact on their businesses. Of those, 86 per cent claimed that their firms did not have any borrowing, but had accumulated cash reserves that would shield them from the effects of a rise.
In some respects it's encouraging that so many SMEs believe a rise in the cost of borrowing would not hamper their operations. Resilience is an important element in building a successful business. However, it appears that for many, changes in the cost of finance will make little difference because they have no growth plans to finance.
Nearly three-quarters of SMEs don't plan to increase their headcounts in 2015 and 42 per cent expect their turnover to stay the same – although 40 per cent said it would grow. Just nine per cent said that they considered major investment in their businesses as a real opportunity next year.
It seems that there is actually a fair amount of caution among UK's SMEs. A total of 46 per cent of businesses said they considered the current economic climate to be a challenge they have to face. Stephen Ibbotson, director of business at ICAEW, says that firms are anticipated future emergencies.
"Indeed, with so many not investing, or hiring, it looks like we are in a 'wait-and-see' period for many businesses," he explains. "Given that the economy is likely to slow down next year, SMEs seem to be sitting on cash to weather any storms that could arise."
Instead, their focus is closer to home on their existing operations. Three out of ten are still struggling with challenges relating to late payments and cash flow, while 36 per cent feel the next government's single biggest priority in 2015 should be to cut the standard rate of VAT. That would enable their businesses to grow organically.
Perhaps when businesses are ready to invest in growth, rates will still be low enough to encourage them to borrow. The Bank of England's latest Inflation Report was published yesterday (November 12th), predicting sluggish inflation of just one per cent over the next year. This is likely to increase to two per cent in the following 12 months, the central bank said.
While inflation is low, interest rates are likely to be kept down to encourage businesses to borrow and grow. Business organisations have reacted positively to this, with the British Chambers of Commerce saying that continued low rates will create a more stable and positive environment for firms.
"This message will be welcomed by UK businesses who will be reassured that they can plan and invest without any surprises," said chief economist David Kern.
Whenever rates rise, it will have knock-on effects for both businesses and the broader economy. The important question will be whether they are prepared for it.
