When it comes to bullying, everyone is hurting—parents, teachers, children, including the bully, believe it or not. It's a stressful problem that needs to be regulated and identified in children—both in young targets and young oppressors.
Typically, when a child is being bullied, parents might notice some irregular behaviors including a change in appetite and difficulty sleeping. Your child might come home without his favorite action figure or he may even start telling you that he does not want to go to school anymore. Of course, some of the more telling signs are unexplained bumps and bruises, high anxiety, and low self-esteem. It's only a matter of time for a bullied child to develop an overwhelming amount of negative self-feelings and internalize them.
Bullies, however, direct those negative feelings outward through repeated, aggressive behaviors intended to hurt, humiliate, harass, harm, and hold power. Bullies lack emotional intelligence, which is a child's awareness of his own emotions and the emotions of others. When a child hurts another with words and with force at such a young age without any intervention from adults, the child does not develop the empathy needed to understand that his actions against his peers are wrong and unacceptable behaviors.
The most effective learning experience for all children, especially those exhibiting bullying tendencies, is to teach them how to use their words to express their feelings. Children will learn that their feelings are valid and fine, and that it's what they do with those feelings that matter. They must learn to help, not hurt.
Next time, I will be focusing more on parents' responsibilities in a bullying situation. When is it time to step in and say, "Enough is enough"?

A 2013 study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that about half of all Black and Hispanic patients entering treatment from alcohol related issues did not complete treatment. One reason for this disparity could be the relative lack of high- quality, culturally- responsive services in the areas where the highest numbers of Blacks and Latinos live. For this reason culturally responsive behaviorally health services for Black individuals is recognized as a foundation to provide appropriate services. According to the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Survey on Drug Use and Health, in 2013, an estimated 22.7 million Americans (8.6 percent) needed treatment for a problem related to drugs or alcohol, but only about 2.5 million people (0.9 percent) received treatment at a specialty facility. According to SAMHSA (2007) "The substance use disorders treatment workforce is primarily female, older, and White." Moreover, many counselors are nearing retirement age and their characteristics are frequently different from the predominantly young, male, and minority clientele seeking services. The workforce implications of these statistics are simply staggering. In order to address these issues, the Black Addictions Counselor Education Program seeks to create access for Black individuals seeking Addictions credentials (Licensure and Education).
Prospective participant qualifications will be reviewed by the Director of the Black Addictions Counselor Education Program or designee. The application, letters of recommendation and personal interview are all considered for admission. All admission materials become the property of the Black Addictions Counselor Education Program and may not be returned to you or submitted to other parties for any other use. Admission to the Black Addictions Counselor Education Program is determined without regard to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. Individuals of color especially those who identify as Black or African American, are strongly encouraged to apply. If you are interested in applying for a future program: Visit the application pages at the links below to apply now for consideration for the next enrollment period. Contact Della Blake, M.Ed. at drblake@bace-aei.org with questions.
□ Part 3 – Participate in a Personal Interview.
Due to demand and a growing waiting list, there is limited space for this program. The program will give priority to individuals who submit complete applications with letters of recommendation promptly.
ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: After a potential participant submits the application and two (2) letters of recommendation, an appointment will be scheduled with the Program Director. Acceptance decisions are made on an individual basis. As soon as decisions are made, candidates will be notified in writing.

El Al preps for competition in flights to Hong Kong
El Al lowers Tel Aviv-Hong Kong prices, offers passengers incentives.

El Al flight
El Al has traditionally operated the only direct Tel Aviv-Hong Kong flights, but Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific airline has announced they will be operating direct Hong Kong-Tel Aviv flights starting on March 26, 2017.
Though a Tel Aviv-Hong Kong flight currently costs approximately $1000, Cathay Pacific's direct flights will cost $863 during certain dates, and offer passengers a flight on the new A-350 Airbus.
Beginning on Sunday, El Al will provide special deals for those passengers flying El Al to Hong Kong, as well as additional incentives, such as free entry to amusement parks, and reduced hotel prices.
In conjunction with Nefesh B'Nefesh, El Al recently announced they would be providing subsidized tickets to Israel for the parents of lone soldiers.
Both these offers come after a long string of flight cancellations and delays caused by disagreements between El Al pilots and management.

Q: Wildcard to route to a controller I am absolutely novice with Laravel and I am currently learning the routes feature of the Framework.
I want to know if it is possible to do like we can do with ASP.NET that is to redirect to a Controller written in the URL.
Actually, to do something like:
<?php

Route::get('/{CustomController}/{Action}', function ($controller, $action) {
    return controller($controller, $action);
});

Where CustomController is the controller which will run the request to the view Action
With ASP.NET Core, it is something like:
routes.MapRoute(
    name: "default",
    template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}");
});

A: Yes, with routes in laravel the format is this:
Route::get('/custom-controller', 'CustomController@index');

If you are using the standard method names in your controller such as index(), store() etc
you can use resource instead and it will automatically build up all your routes:
Route::resource('/my-route', 'CustomController');

If you then do php artisan route:list you will see laravel has automatically added all the standard routes for your controller.

What's the Real Spinal Cord Injury Cost?
Written By: Zawn Villines | January 06, 2016
Every year, 12,500 people survive spinal cord injuries. Most of these injuries are caused by car accidents (38%), followed by falls (30%), violence (14%), sports and other recreational activities (9%), medical errors (5%), and miscellaneous other factors (4%), according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center.
The catastrophic nature of these injuries, coupled with the ongoing and chronic nature of symptoms, means that most spinal cord injury survivors can expect to incur significant expenses. Though most injured people are concerned about medical costs, these expenses are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Whether you're planning to sue or just attempting to get a realistic portrait of what's ahead, knowing the real spinal cord injury cost can help you plan your next steps.
SCI Medical Expenses
Medical expenses for spinal cord injuries are often well in excess of a million dollars. Of course, the exact costs you can expect to pay are primarily dependent on the severity of your injuries and the number of medical services you need. Some of the most common sources of expense include:
Trauma care, such as the use of a ventilator
Rehabilitation, including physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, and mental health counseling
Long-term care, including the costs of in-home aides
Medical equipment such as wheelchairs
Medication such as painkillers and antibiotics
According to the Dana and Christopher Reeve Foundation, average expenses are as follows:
For the first year, people with high tetraplegia can expect to pay about a million dollars for care. Low tetraplegia produces about $769,000 in medical expenses, while paraplegia costs about $518,000. Injuries that produce incomplete motor function at any level cost an average of $347,000.
After the first year, costs tend to go down. Those with high tetraplegia incur costs of about $184,000 annually, compared to $113,000 for people with low tetraplegia. Paraplegia costs about $69,000 each year, while incomplete motor function produces the lowest costs, of about $42,000.
Travel, Airfare, and Other Hidden Expenses
It's easy to fixate on the astronomical medical costs associated with a spinal cord injury, but these expenses are just the beginning. Many spinal cord injury survivors travel to another town to receive treatment. Others need the assistance of loved ones who must buy plane tickets and stay at nearby hotels. These costs can easily add up to several thousand dollars.
Additionally, some hidden incidentals can include:
Hospital vending machines, which typically charge high prices for cheap snacks
Eating out on the way to and from the hospital
Entertainment in the hospital or rehab center; when you're not at home, you may spend more to entertain yourself.
Parking at the hospital or rehab center
Tips to valet attendants and other helpers
Lost Wages and Earning Potential
One year after the injury, just 11.7% of people with a spinal cord injury are employed. At 20 years post-injury, the figure is 35.2%. Consequently, the loss of earning potential is one of the most significant expenses for SCI survivors. In 2012, median wages were about $26,000. If we assume the injury occurs at the age of 25, and that the survivor otherwise would have worked until 65, this puts the loss in earning potential at just over a million dollars. Higher earners can expect to lose even more.
Even if you are able to go back to work, you will still have to take time off to recover from your injuries. Unless your employer continues to pay you as you recover, you can expect to lose significant income.
Longer-Term Expenses
The long-term costs of spinal cord injuries aren't readily apparent, particularly when you are focused on just surviving. Some of the additional expenses you could incur include:
Mental health issues related to your injuries. These problems can inhibit your ability to make a living, and may also necessitate additional medical expenses.
Long-term health issues. Spinal cord injury survivors are more likely to die young, and more likely to suffer from medical issues such as respiratory infections.
Home modifications. Many spinal cord injury survivors must install elevators or ramps to make their homes accessible.
Additional equipment, such as wheelchair-accessible vans.
Valuation of Lawsuits for the Purposes of Suing
In a perfect world, a lawsuit could help you fully recover what your injury took from you. But we don't live in a perfect world. In our legal system, all a lawsuit can offer you is money—and, rarely, a judicial prohibition against future behavior by the defendant that might cause additional injuries. For this reason, lawyers value spinal cord injury lawsuits solely in financial terms. Some of the factors your lawyer will consider include:
Your pain and suffering
The ability of the other party to cover your damages
Medical and other expenses
Court costs, such as the cost of hiring an expert witness
As you can see, the unfortunate fact is that spinal cord injury cost often extends far beyond the physical ramifications. When your job is to focus your energy on learning how to live life to the fullest again, the last thing you want to be worrying about is how to piece together the financing for the high cost of spinal cord injuries.

REVIEW: Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #6
By Stephen Schleicher on	 September 15, 2011 1 Comment
Then there was that time the girl in the gold bikini struck a pose…
The first major arc of the Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris is complete. Now what is a pretty, pretty, princess to do?
WARLORD OF MARS: DEJAH THORIS #6
Writer: Arvid Nelson
Illustrator: Carlos Rafael
Colorist: Carlos Lopez
Letterer: Marshall Dillon
Covers: Joe Jusko, Paul Renaud, Ale Garza
Editor: Joseph Rybrandt
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Previously in Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris: Thousands of years before John Carter would find himself on Mars, the Red Martians found themselves in the middle of a civil war, with the supreme leader suddenly going crazy in the head, and unleashing a giant golem upon the land. Now that he has been defeated, it is time for the citizens to pick up the pieces.
THE GIRL WITH THE GOLD PASTIES
It's time to rebuild, and for Greater Helium it's going to take a great number of resources, energy, and money to fix the fallen city. The place is in utter ruins, and the Jeddak, Tardos Mors, the grandfather of Dejah Thoris, doesn't have money in the coffers to do a complete rebuild. At most only ten percent of the city can be restored. The first order of business isn't fixing homes, or rebuilding the financial district, but making sure public sanitation is available and that water is flowing.
Except it isn't.
Tardos Mors instructs Dejah to take a ship to the great pumping station to see why the water isn't flowing. And that is where the mystery of the issue begins. When Dejah and crew arrive, they find the workers locked in a closet (a very big closet), a mysterious coin, and a crew of pirates who are more interested in taking Dejah Thoris prisoner than bringing a city to its knees.
There's really not a lot of story in this issue, but the action that propels the reader to the big cliffhanger makes for a fun read. Not only are readers introduced to the governing system, but we also get a better look at the way the society functions, as well as some new alien species we haven't seen before – including a moon monkey guy and the pirate captain who gives Dejah Thoris a run for her money in the "let's draw sexy ladies" category.
YOU SAY YOU LIKE BONDAGE?
The first arc of the Warlord of Mars series featured a lot of guys running around in next to nothing, with Dejah Thoris (wearing even less than nothing) serving as the only female character for readers to cast their gaze upon. Because this story focuses more on Dejah than the last arc, Carlos Rafael gets to go to town in drawing the female form. And he does a good job at it. A really good job…
Now, while I do like everything about the art, I think there are going to be a few people bothered by the bondage moments that pop up near issues end. It's one thing to tie a prisoner up, but quite a different matter to tie her up against a big column with her arms suspended above her head so her gold pasties are sticking out as far as naturally possible.
BOTTOM LINE: PICK IT UP
While the first arc of Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris series was interesting, I found this first issue to be better than the previous five issues combined. The mystery, the action, and the art kept my attention, and hooked me enough to want to pick up the next issue. Even if you haven't read the first arc, this issue is worth picking up and checking out. I'm giving Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #6 3.5 out of 5 Stars.

Q: Can a placeholder be used for a database name? createDb.sql
create database `:name` ;

I am trying this file in order to create a database.
$createSql = file_get_contents('createDb.sql');
$stmt = $db->prepare($createSql);
$stmt->bindValue(':name', $dbName);
$stmt->execute();

The problem is, I get extra quotes for the name of the database. For example if $dbName = trash, then the newly created database is named 'trash' (not with grave accent, but with quotes). Can I get rid of the quotes?

A: Wow, back up... rethink what you're doing here. Prepared statements only allow for the binding of values, not static parts of the query.
PDO, for example, probably does allow for you to use prepared statements with placeholders for the DB name, but that's because it's emulating the prepared statements, probably...
Even so, you're getting the DB name from a .sql file... why go through all that effort, and not simply run the .sql script on your DB server in the first place? Ah well, for future reference, here's a couple of notes (and at the bottom, an answer to your question):
In any case, using placeholders for those static parts of the query (SELECT, INSERT INTO the db name, ...) would seriously reduce the safety that prepared statements give you. This is because of the very nature of prepared statements.
Here's how they work (simplistic representation):
SELECT * from db.tbl WHERE field = ?

This string is sent to the DB, ready to be prepared. After the statement is prepared, you can then use the resulting resource and send the actual values to the DB server to be used with this statement:
<stmt> + 123

The values are sent over a different protocol, they are then properly escaped, and inserted into the pre-processed statement to guarantee correct escaping.
Now apply this to your case, assuming it'll even work:
CREATE DATABASE ?

Whatever value will be passed next, it shouldn't be escaped too much, because:
CREATE DATABASE 'foobar'

is not valid SQL, but then:
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS foobar

Should be accepted, too, because that is valid SQL, and in some ways, it's more preferable than the simple create statement you're currently using.
At this point, we've not even discussed the options than can be specified (charset, collation, table specific options...) what about those?
Really, your best bet is to refactor, rethink and ask yourself if you even want to create databases dynamically.
9/10, or even 99.99999% of times, you're better of creating tables. Even then, you probably will not want to use variables for table names, not unless they're properly sanitized, at least.
But as an aside, if you want to carry on with what you're doing, and not have those quotes, you should do this:
$dbName = str_replace(' ', '_', strtolower(trim($dbName)));//remove spaces, trim
$dbName = preg_replace('/^\d*|[^a-z0-9]/','',$dbName);//remove leading digits and non alf-num chars
$db->query('CREATE DATABASE '.$dbName);

With the input 123foo% bar 3, this will create a database named foo_bar3.

The times of casually-operated family companies have started to an finish. For a small company to contend with large, commercial corporations, effective family companies have switched from the casually run operation to some small empire operated by a board of company directors. A few of these savvy companies have finally also leaped right into a new trend: developing a Family Business Council.
Bear in mind however a board of company directors along with a Family Business Council are a couple of entirely various things.
A Family Business Council is structured a lot more like a wide open forum and it is accustomed to directly resolve issues inside the family which are critical with regards to the success from the business. Since frequently the road between family and business will get blurred inside a family-run operation, the Family Business Council offers an open setting where people from the business and family can resolve problems that if left unresolved can result in confusion, stress or even a business's downfall.
Authority and Responsibility – Produce a obvious meaning of who holds what authority and who accounts for what positions in the organization plus the family council. Every individual must have a collection listing of expectations, responsibilities along with a obvious meaning of what their authority entails. Within the finish, everybody active in the business ought to be obvious on who they are accountable to and the things they're doing for the organization.
Work Hrs and Vacation – A collection quantity of work hrs/days in addition to vacation provisions per family worker ought to be produced included in the business policy manual.
Office Existence – People of the organization must have a obvious meaning of where their office or workspace is, what work products they'll provide by themselves and just what products fit in with the organization – family or otherwise.
Compensation and Benefits – An in depth pay structure should be produced that outlines each person in the organization and just how much she or he receives when it comes to compensation in addition to healthcare or retirement benefits.
The Family Business Council should create many of these policies utilizing an "open forum" technique to ensure that no family member or non-family person in the organization feels favoritism is necessary when it comes to company policy.
Create an atmosphere based on mutual agreement and trust among all family people active in the business.
Give all people from the family council an opportunity to share opinions about business operations and produce up any underlying business issues they've.
Provide the key family people inside the business an opportunity to define goals for the organization overall, pay attention to issues and reconcile any family disputes that ma be directly effecting the organization.
Provide help family people with regards to defining authoritative roles, relationships and also the required all company employees.
A Family Business Council is really a fear-free atmosphere – meaning anybody who attends has the authority to speak their opinions without anxiety about backlash, disagreement or future punishment. It's important for every family member to talk their mind regarding the business operations before the entire group involves a consensus. In so doing you'll increase your business, but additionally increase your family trust and structure within the organization.

Q: Understanding Solid state relay specifications I've been looking for a solid state relay that can switch 240V from a 3.3V signal.
Looking at DigiKey, with a very large selection, I'm not sure how to filter my search (screenshot attached). How do I interpret the "Voltage Input" and "Voltage Load" criteria compared to the coil and switching voltage for regular relay ? (screenshot attached)
The names seem pretty self explanatory but I'm surprised there aren't any 3V DC controlled SSRs - hence the uncertainty

A: 3-32 is a very common input range, which means it will work with 3.3V drive.
If I search on "In stock", output type: AC, AC-DC or AC zero cross, and all with minimum input voltage up to 3V, and "output current" min 5A max 35A I get 122 results.

HAY was founded in 2002 by Danish couple Rolf and Mette Hay and business partner Troels Holch Povlsen.
The couple who met while working at Danish furniture brand Gubi had a clear idea that furniture design and price should both be accessible to the widest possible audience. It is still this goal, coupled with an ambition to return Danish furniture design to the innovative greatness of the 1950's and 1960's in a contemporary context, which drive the business today. By creating meaningful, practical and accessible furniture, lighting and accessories Hay hope to contribute to making every day a little nicer.
HAY always circles around architecture, sustainable design and high quality at affordable prices. They are committed to nurturing and promoting the originality of young talents as well as collaborating with established designers (Bouroullec brothers, Du Pasquier, Komplot,.. ). In striving to design the perfect product, they embrace space, new technology, and society. They seek to understand the basis for modern life today. Their approachable designs concepts and use of new materials and modern technology benefit from clever production methods that keep the price tags moderate.
As a supplement to the furniture collection HAY has introduced a home accessory collection including cushions, rugs, kitchenware and mirrors for modern homes.

In the Cloyne Valley there are two distinct materials referred to locally as clay. The one we have been discussing up to this is silica. Its origin is in much doubt as thick beds of silica are most unusual. Millions of years ago the sandstone in this Valley was eroded by the action of water. Most geologists think that the silica is a freak deposit laid down after this and before the advent of abundant marine life which gave the overlying limestone. Whatever its origins, the fact remains that the Cloyne deposits are among the purest in the world, as the following analysis, kindly provided by the Cloyne Mineral Company shows.
The other clay found in the Valley is colloidal, i.e. it remains in suspension in water without settling as most clays do. Its origin is in little doubt. The material resulting from the solution of the limestones in the vicinity was deposited in later caves in the limestone to form what geologists call a residual clay i.e. what is left when the bulk of the parent material is carried away in solution.
The principal white silica deposits seem to be about 600ft in thickness and to run in two parallel belts, one on the north and one of the south side of the Cloyne syncline.
Work stated in a new pit about seven hundred yards due north of the Aughane – Lisanley silica pits, and about a half-mile south-west of Cloyne. Here, yellow, red and blackish colloidal clays were located at from eight to twelve feet below the surface. Once again, the clay was dug out with pick and shovel and loaded onto the bogie to be drawn to the surface by another faithful horse.
This time, however, things were getting more professional. Beamish's store, on the quayside in Ballinacurra, was purchased and drying equipment installed to render the clay suitable for use. Two lorries were hired to transport the raw clay to the worsk in Ballinacurra.
This loaded the wet material into tipping lorries which brought it to Ballinacurra.
In 1936 the company began to ship its merchandise through the port of Ballinacurra. On the first of April, 1936, all hands were literally on deck; the whole workforce from Cloyne was brought to the quay in Ballinacurra to load fifty tons of Stellanite onto the M.V. Dewadden bound for Port Sunlight. The total quantity shipped in 1936 was 1,431 tonnes; and, in 1938, 1,725 tons. However, despite these indications of apparent success, two years after the first shipment from Ballinacurra, the Cloyne Colloidal Clay Company went into liquidation, but this time only for a short while. It reopened as the Cloyne Clay Company.

The heat is on at Waterhouse
Published:Saturday | October 3, 2015 | 12:00 AMNodley Wright
Marcel Gayle ... UWI's coach.
Waterhouse's Calvert Fitzgerald
At the bottom looking up is not a position often associated with former champions Waterhouse, but that is where they find themselves after four games in the Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL) and anything but a win today against newcomers UWI (University of the West Indies) FC could put pressure on coach Calvert Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald enjoyed success in a previous stint, but has been able to lead his charges to just one point so far. Interestingly, that point was earned away to Rivoli, the club Fitzgerald left to return to Waterhouse.
"We did not retain the services of Tramaine Stewart and Hughan Gray. These are significant losses.
"Hughan was definitely the top attacking player in the league, was one of the top players in the Caribbean Cup last season and is a national representative, so these are not easy players to replace," said Fitzgerald as he explained the difficulties his team had at the start of the season.
Those losses, he said, were followed by the loss to injury of captain Damarley Samuels coupled with the late return of a number of senior players. Despite that, though, Fitzgerald said the spirit in the camp is high and the performances have been improving.
"The team is definitely playing better as evidenced by the performance against Harbour View. In the second half, we looked more like a Waterhouse team, and we are hoping to pick it up from there. We really need these three points in the win column.
"Even though the team has been going through a poor start, the team is energised. Our confidence and team spirit are not dampened," he said.
Leading his team into Waterhouse is a man who, last week, had a weight lifted off his shoulders as UWI FC recorded their first win, and a second successive one will increase their confidence. It is, however, not that easy for Marcel Gayle as, up to last year, he was on the Waterhouse bench.
'mixed emotions'
"It is a feeling of mixed emotions for me going home to Waterhouse, being on the other side, on the other bench, but it is not about me. It is about the team and what the teams need at this time," said Gayle, a Waterhouse man through and through.
Gayle said he does not expect his return to be an easy one as the hosts are in a position where they have to get a result.
"Their backs are against the wall. They will be coming hard to get the three points, but I think we have what it takes to go there and get a win. As long as we are disciplined and play to the best of our ability, we will do it," added Gayle, whose team will be boosted by the return of the experienced Girvon Brown.
At Wespow Park, the hot-again former champions Montego Bay United will be aiming to take over the top spot, at least for 24 hours, when they host Humble Lion FC. The second-placed Montego United should start as favourites, but Humble Lion FC, who are just two points behind the hosts, are coming off a home win over the defending champions and should fancy their chances.
Previous leaders Portmore United will be heading back to Clarendon, a place they called home when they were Hazard United, to take on Cavalier in a battle between the third- and fourth-placed teams. This game will be the first official match to be played at the Middlesex International College.
Eighth-placed Rivoli United will entertain 11th-placed Boys' Town at Prison Oval while 10th-placed Tivoli Gardens will be hoping to give coach Christopher Bender his first win of the season with a victory over Harbour View, who only recorded their first win of the season on Monday last. Jermaine Johnson's presence should help Tivoli's cause.
Tomorrow night, surprise leaders Reno FC will get an early chance to show their title credentials when they play away to defending champions Arnett Gardens at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex.
Today's games:
4 p.m.: Montego Bay United vs Humble Lion - Wespow Park
4 p.m.: Portmore United vs Cavalier - Middlesex Intl College, Clarendon
4 p.m.: Rivoli United vs Boys' Town - Spanish Town Prison Oval

Tension headache, one of the most frequently occurring primary types of headache is literally a pain in the neck due to muscle tightness in this area. There's evidence that the menthol in peppermint essential oil counters tension headache when applied topically due to an analgesic effect on the peripheral and central nervous systems comparable to acetaminophen and aspirin. To make a peppermint... We've learned a lot about how music can help with pain and a score of other clinical problems. But with chronic pain affecting a quarter of us, it's an area that has received too little attention.
How Chinese Medicine Understands Headache Disorders With the hectic pace of modern life, many stressful situations are avoidable, an increasing number of people suffer from headaches. Headache is only a symptom, the cause of which is not necessarily in the head, problems in other parts of the body can also contribute to headaches.... It's no secret that our lives can be incredibly stressful. We're constantly on the run at work, dealing with family issues and trying to squeeze some personal time in as well.

Headache is only a symptom, the cause of which is not necessarily in the head, problems in other parts of the body can also contribute to headaches.
An acute headache is pain or discomfort that starts suddenly and gets worse quickly. You may have an acute headache only when you feel stress or eat certain foods. Other acute headache pain can happen every day, and sometimes several times a day.
Symptoms of a genuine sinus headache do involve mild to severe pain around the nose and eyes, usually with a runny nose and often with a fever. Acute sinus infections trigger this type of headache.

Summer Budget 2015- Employment Tax Issues
The Chancellor's Budget on 8th July 2015 included the following measures/announcements in respect of Employment Taxation, which will be of relevance to local authority employers and employees:
Councillors' Travel Expenses
The date for the statutory exemption from Tax and National Insurance for councillors' home to work travel mileage expenses paid by their local authority has now been set at 6th April 2016. This was originally planned to take effect from April 2015, but has been deferred to the later date. This will apply to journeys from a councillor's home to their permanent workplace unless the councillor lives more than 20 miles outside the local authority area. However, we understand that, until the legislation is introduced, payments made to councillors in respect of home to work travel will continue to be governed by existing guidance/interpretation for Tax/NI purposes. Therefore, as we have previously recommended, local authorities are strongly advised to review their current procedures to determine the correct position, whether or not this matter has been raised by HMRC as part of an Employer Compliance Review.
Salary Sacrifice Arrangements
Whilst no specific changes were announced in respect of salary sacrifice schemes used by local authorities, the Government has said it will actively monitor these arrangements to assess the effect on the levels of Tax and National Insurance saved as result of their use. Therefore, it is possible that changes may be made in future Budgets.
Payrolling Benefits
Further consultation will take place in respect of the voluntary payrolling of all benefits in kind from 2016/17, with the exception of accommodation, loans and vouchers/credit tokens. The proposed changes will mean that, if the employer wishes, Tax and National Insurance may be accounted for via the payroll for most benefits rather than being reported on forms P11D.
Trivial Benefits in Kind – Statutory Exemption
It was originally intended that a statutory exemption for trivial benefits in kind costing less than £50 would be introduced in April 2015, but this was delayed. The exemption has now been confirmed as being applicable from April 2016.
If you would like further information regarding these announcements – or on Employment Taxes generally – please contact our Employment Taxes Director, John Harling, on 07768 446381 or via e-mailjohn.harling@lavat.co.uk.

In this hour long webinar on-demand, learn about the link between ADHD and depression in adults with Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D.
Play this free webinar and download the slide presentation of "The ADHD-Depression Connection in Adults: Understanding the Link, Distinct Symptoms, and First-Line Treatments," plus get more strategies from ADDitude via email.
Every adult with ADHD should take note of these statistics: Thirty percent of individuals with ADHD have had a depressive episode, and if you have ADHD, your risk of developing depression is four times greater than it is for those without the disorder. Researchers have traced back this elevated rate of depression to four ADHD-specific risk factors: emotional dysregulation, executive function deficits, social problems, above-average impulsivity, and physical and sexual abuse.
The good news is that more treatment options exist today for managing depression, ranging from psychotherapy to pharmacological interventions. In addition, doctors are using promising new treatments for depression, including electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and the chemical ketamine, when conventional approaches fall short. Learning about these newer approaches and discussing them with your doctor may lead to treatment breakthroughs.
Dr. Roberto Olivardia is a clinical psychologist and lecturer in psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Lexington, Massachusetts, where he specializes in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and Eating Disorders. He has spoken on numerous webinars and presents at many talks and conferences around the country. He currently serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for ADDitude, as well as the Professional Advisory Boards for Children and Adults with ADHD (CHADD), the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) and the National Association for Males with Eating Disorders.
I was misdiagnosed with depression, treated with SSRI's which kept me unable to control crying for 15 years. Eventually, sent to another specialist for treatment resistant depression. Given vyvanse. Miracle. I researched vyvanse to find out it was used for ADHD. I got off citalopram, clonazepam etc myself. Got diagnosed by a neurologist who understood ADHD 14 months ago. I do not have depression, vyvanse immediately alienates that kind of feeling. I am filled with rage, my career was ruined, my entire life ruined by this medical incompetence and I have no recourse.
How many lives are being ruined by ignorant doctors? How can I get this information out? This abuse of girls/women has to stop.
is_shepherd: Why did you go straight to abuse of "girls/women"????
I'm a woman in my late 40s.
I too was diagnosed with depression when I was 19 or 20. There were definitely signs before that age, but I got by. When I didn't, I got help and was diagnosed.
Then after personal and professional struggles and further counseling around 2000, the therapist I was seeing suggested that I test for ADD (not always ADHD at that time). Sure enough. Positive. As I and my siblings had suspected for many years on my own.
The reality is that when we were school age or even in college, no one was regularly looking for ADHD in adults. They do the best they can with the knowledge/experience they have at the time.
No one is dismissing you. No one is abusing you. It's just a reality.
And believe me, it has nothing to do with gender in general.
I think if you let go of that unfounded anger, you might have more energy to continue on with your life and have successes from here on out.
She went to women and girls because women and girls are woefully misdagnosed when it comes to ADHD. They don't catch it when we're little, and we get diagnosed with other mental health disorders as adults. I myself was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder for several years before I convinced my doctor to check me out for ADHD.
Maybe abuse is the wrong word – but it's a serious issue that affects women and girls of all ages. I know it affected me.
You sound very judgemental and yet you are not a part of this other lady's life where you could reasonably come to your conclusions on her situation. If you personally had a better experience and have absolute faith in the medical world, good for you, that's not everyone's experience. When you invalidate someone's experience like that, it's called gaslighting.
.. for the upcoming depression webinar. I'll try to keep this brief. 3 years ago my father passed, causing a severe depression I'm still fighting. I've tried every class of antidepressant, sometimes several in that class, with little to no effect. My primary care also diagnosed me with ADHD (at age 51), about a year ago-Adderall has been extremely helpful for focus, but I'm still depressed. I've been to a couple therapists and to put it briefly, they don't know what to do with me. I understand what's going on but am unable to move on. Everything is hollow, there's no joy. A friend commented 'the light has left your eyes' that's exactly how I feel. My primary care is amazing, but he's run out of options. I've been on guanfacine a month, but not noticing any difference. I've tried honestly everything anyone has suggested, from salt lamps to a Spa vacation and don't know where to turn. Even though I was diagnosed a little over a year ago I didn't take the diagnosis of ADHD seriously until two or three months ago. Since then I've been researching it heavily and believe it may be keeping the depression around, but don't know the next step. I'm searching for a therapist or psychiatrist specializing in ADHD in my area but this is an expensive option right now. Any advice for next steps?
I highly recommend Johann Hari's book / audiobook "Lost Connections Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions", especially when a connection lost seems to have triggered your current circumstances. He also has some YouTube presentations describing his journey out of ineffective treatment as a young adult and toward effective solutions through wide ranging research with world experts.
Having had a number of serious depression episodes over years, I see how Johann's ideas completely explain what I experienced, both heading into depression and arising from it later.
Although I suspect it is something that went undiagnosed for a quite a long time, I only recently explored the possibility that I might be dealing with ADHD. My PCP (GP to the best of my knowledge) confirmed the suspicion with a diagnosis. She confirmed a previous diagnosis of GAD and while she agreed with others that I do not show signs of Bi-polar disorder (there is a family history) she feels I have Cyclothymia. Can you provide information or resources that speak to any connection with Cyclothymia versus depression?

Trump wants to know what happened to Attorney General Jeff Sessions
politics | Nov 03, 2017 | By Martin Barillas
Investigative journalist and author Ed Klein predicted that President Donald Trump will soon ask Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign or take another Cabinet position. Speaking on the Mike Gallagher radio show on Friday, Klein was promoting his new book "All out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump." Gallagher began the segment by asking Klein's reaction to revelations made by Donna Brazile -- the former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee -- that Hillary Clinton effectively took over the Democrat party and sundered Sen. Bernie Sanders' chances during the party primaries in 2016. The interview came on the day that President Trump tweeted: "Everybody is asking why the Justice Department and FBI isn't looking into all the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary and the Dems...Where is our Justice Department?"
Klein said that it was not surprising, adding that four years before the election, former president Bill Clinton invited Democrat state party chairs to Arkansas to persuade them to support his wife's candidacy. The former president also eventually convinced the disgraced party chair, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida, to rig the election in Hillary Clinton's favor.
Donna Brazile just stated the DNC RIGGED the system to illegally steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders. Bought and paid for by Crooked H....
....This is real collusion and dishonesty. Major violation of Campaign Finance Laws and Money Laundering - where is our Justice Department?
Gallagher asked for Klein's reaction to tweets President Donald Trump wrote on Thursday in which he referenced Brazile's book and wrote that the "DNC rigged the system to illegally steal the primary from Bernie Sanders. Bought and paid for...This is real collusion and dishonesty. Major violation of campaign finance laws and money laundering. Where is our Justice Department?'
Show host Gallagher said that Trump had asked on Friday before leaving Washington on his trip to Asia, "Where's the Justice Department?" "Where is Attorney General Sessions on all of this?" asked Gallagher. Klein offered as an "exclusive" that he predicts Attorney General Sessions will be removed from office within the next month. "I think that there is a really good chance that in the next month or so that Donald Trump will actually replace Jeff Sessions as Attorney General and perhaps appoint him to another Cabinet post and get another attorney general." Klein made clear why the president is poised to make the decision.
"Not only is the president, many Republican members of Congress are urging Jeff Sessions to appoint a special prosecutor on the Hillary Clinton case, but there are several prosecutors within the Justice Department that are pressuring Jeff Sessions to do so." According to his sources, Klein said Sessions has refused. Sessions' reasoning, Klein said that he "doesn't want to politicize the Justice Department." Klein added, "That's a lame excuse, in my view."
Moving on to national security, Klein said that the FBI is increasingly concerned over radical leftists in the U.S. and their overseas ties. Referring to his new book, Klein said, "I think that the most explosive thing...is an FBI report I uncovered that ties Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other violent left-wing groups to the Islamic State [ISIS} and Al Qaeda. The American FBI has followed these left-wing groups to Europe and witnessed their meetings with Islamic State representatives who are teaching them in bomb-making, toxic chemicals, and things like that. The FBI refers to this as the 'greatest threat to law enforcement since the 1970s' Weathermen [radical bomb-making anti-war leftists].'" This is quote, Klein said. "That's what Donald Trump has been talking about: how violent the Left is."
Everybody is asking why the Justice Department (and FBI) isn't looking into all of the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary & the Dems..

The Riverbar & Kitchen is an incredibly popular place for lunch. One step on the patio and you'll see why. The restaurant and bar is smacked right up against the Brisbane River in the heart of the CBD. Look inland and you see the city. Look at the river and you have front row seats to the Story Bridge. It's especially beautiful when the Story Bridge is lit up at night. Patrons rave about the Riverbar & Kitchen's brekky. The big draw is the eggs benedict and the Croque monsieur. You can also get affordable munchies like scones and muffins along with your heartier brekky choices. The lunch and dinner menu are the same. It features pizzas, burger, soups and salads. It also has an impressive list of mains like beer battered fish fillets, lamb ragu and steamed barramundi. The menu also has a snacks list if you just want to grab a drink to enjoy the view. The drinks list is rather comprehensive. There is a killer bloody mary that will help you with your hangovers so you can power through a Sunday sesh. In fact, the venue advertises itself as a hangover cure on the weekends. And that's what the Riverbar & Kitchen is perfect for. Start here for a brunch on a Sunday sesh. Or you can bring a date for a romantic view.


PC, server and storage vendor Dell and health care technology solution provider Perot Systems are teaming up in a strategic alliance to take advantage of the economic stimulus package funds earmarked for health care and available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Analysts and solution provider resellers have identified health care as one of the vertical industries that is experiencing growth during the recession. Health care will also be a major benefactor of the economic stimulus package, and many solution providers and resellers plan to target that vertical as the health care stimulus funds are distributed.
Specifically, the stimulus package has earmarked $17 billion in incentive payments to physicians and hospitals to use electronic health records (EHRs). Other stimulus funds in the sector include $2 billion for grants and loans for health IT interoperability, regional and national EHR support, and $12 billion for broadband, facility construction and telemedicine, according to market research firm Gartner.
Dell and Perot Systems' strategic alliance calls for joint delivery teams to provide "fully integrated global IT solutions" that include technology and services solutions such as virtualized desktops, storage and servers. Target clients include hospitals, health systems and doctors' offices.

Carsharing is probably one of the hottest new trends in Berlin this year.
Many carsharing companies like DriveNow, SIXT Share, Car2go or Miles offer their brand new cars for short term rent around town.
It can be difficult to find the best car sharing company for your needs, so let's compare them and see which one suits you best.
We only took DriveNow, SIXT Share, Car2go and Miles into consideration as they offer the most cars around Berlin and they are so-calles free flow offers.
That means you can pick them up and leave them wherever you want to.
E.g. Deutsche Bahn offers carsharing as well, but you have to pick up and park the cars in designated parking spots, which makes their offer not flexible enough to be considered here.
DriveNow is a carsharing company operated by BMW and recently merged with Car2go.
But for the time being both companies are still operating with their own fleet of cars.
DriveNow is available in many major German cities including Berlin, München, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Hamburg.
Right now DriveNow had over 3.300 cars all around Germany to rent.
In Berlin, it feels like every second car on the street is one of DriveNow's BMW 1, Mini (Coupe and Cabrio!), X1 or even ActiveE.
Many people nowadays – especially younger people – don't see the need to own a car in Berlin, as signing up with DriveNow or any other carsharing company is much cheaper.
There are 2 ways to book a car: Either with the DriveNow App up to 15min in advance or by walking past a car and opening the door with your app.
The DriveNow App is available for IOS as well as Android, and lets you see all available DriveNow cars around your area on a map.
Just choose the one closest to you and make a reservation, which is valid for 15 mins before someone else can book that car again.
Signing up with DriveNow costs only 19€ (instead of around 29€) with 30mins already included.
Prices per minute depend on the type of car you choose and start at 33 cents/min.
DriveNow covers the most important parts of Berlin, including Berlin Tegel & Schönefeld airport.
You can park your car anywhere within the S-Bahn ring, and in some parts, like Prenzlauer Berg, even outside that ring.
Of course you can use the cars outside that area, but if you park it outside the operating area you'll have to pay a fine.
One of the newest carsharing offers available and a pretty good alternativ we must say.
SIXT Share has one big advantage, which is SIXT has been in the business of rental cars for decades already.
SIXT is probably the biggest rental car company alongside with Europcar and Enterprise and therefore already a well know and trusted company.
So the decision to enter the carsharing market might not come as such a big surprise.
But what is a big surprise is how SIXT combines carsharing and rental cars in one app.
So no matter if you want to rent out a car for a quick grocery shopping trip or you spontaneously want to drive to the coast for 3 days all you need to do is download the app and start driving.
Cars can be picked up within the limits of their business area or at one of the 500 SIXT stations in Germany.
As a little welcome bonus right now the first trip with SIXT Share is for free (up to 10€ trips).
Every other trip will cost you right now 30cents per minute or if you want the car for the whole day it will be 59€.
Car2go is a carsharing company operated by Mercedes Benz, together with Europcar.
In Germany, Car2go already operates in 7 cities and offers more than 3.000 cars to rent, which offers a slightly higher density of cars around Berlin.
Whereas with DriveNow you have the choice between many different cars, that are also suitable for 4 people, Car2go exclusively has Smart cars in their fleet.
So if you plan on driving to IKEA to get some new furniture, Car2go might not be your best choice.
But if you only need the car to get from one place to another quite fast, you will come to love those Smarts.
The old excuse that you didn't find a parking spot won't be valid anymore, as these Smarts fit in anywhere.
If you compare the prices of Car2go and DriveNow you will see that Car2go is slightly cheaper than DriveNow. Car2go charges only 29 cents per minute for their cars.
If you plan to stop for a while you can do so and only pay 19 cents per minute, or if you need the car for one hour there is a fixed price of 14,90€.
Car2go also offers an App for IOS and Android that lets you book a car online in advance. Cars can be booked and parked anywhere within the S-Bahn ring and in some places, like Steglitz or Dahlem, even further outside.
What what used to sound like something out of a 80's gangster movie is the newest player in the field of carsharing companies in Berlin.
Just recently rebranded from Drive by to Miles this is a great alternative for carsharing in Berlin.
Miles' area of operation is a bit smaller than that of the main competitors DriveNow and Car2go.
However their cars are all very new, still in good shape and fun to drive.
Also the pricing is a bit different from what you get at the other carsharing companies.
Instead of paying for each minute of your rental you only pay for the distance you drive. This is a lot less stressful and can come cheaper during heavy traffic.
For us Miles is a great alternative to the more well-known carsharing companies DriveNow and Car2go.
In order to have an overview of the 3 carsharing companies we took for the prices only the cheapest option into consideration.
Business territory S-Bahn Ring and beyond in Lichtenberg and Charlottenburg to Steglitz S-Bahn Ring and beyond.
As you might have noticed already, Car2go and DriveNow offer very similar services.
Both companies let you book your car via their very good Apps and both companies have around the same prices.
And best of all in 2018 both companies decided on merging together – let's wait and see what this means for the carsharing market in Berlin.
As Car2go only has Smarts to rent, you can't use them if you need to transport any big luggage or if you are more than 2 people.
DriveNow, on the other hand, lets you choose between different car models that can also be used for a small shopping trip to IKEA.
And last but not least, Car2go and DriveNow operate in the same areas in Berlin; Car2go having the advantage of covering a slightly bigger area. But, as you rarely need a car outside the Ring, that should not be a problem.
If you are unsure about which company to sign up with, you might consider signing up for both Car2go and DriveNow.
As a second alternative we highly recommend giving SIXT Share a go. First of all it might always happen that there is no Drivenow or Car2go car nearby.
And secondly SIXT Share just offers more than the competitors, which is the possibility to spontaneously rent a car for the whole day or 5 days just like that.
Especially during rush hours, most cars might be in use, so having 2 options to choose from might come in handy.
You will still save a lot of money, rather than constantly taking taxis, or even having your own car.
If you don't feel like driving yourself you might want to check out how public transport in Berlin is working.
And if you are into biking why not try out one of the many new bikesharing companies in Berlin?

Seamless Access Presents Entity Categories and Attribute Bundles
The SeamlessAccess Entity Categories and Attribute Bundles Working Group brought together 22 individuals from around the world and across different sectors to define and promote the categorization of different levels of attribute release profiles (commonly known as entity categories) associated with federated access to scholarly information resources. The group has proposed three separate categories: Authentication Only, Anonymous Authorization, and Pseudonymous Authorization. The goal is to have these categorizations and profiles adopted and/or endorsed by global research and education federations, library communities, and other stakeholder groups. This webinar will review each of these entity categories with a goal of encouraging informed feedback from the community during the public consultation period.

At Wharton Arts, we use music as an instrument for social transformation. We believe that everyone can learn to experience and express music deeply regardless of their background, receive its many benefits, and make positive life choices because of this learning.
Donations made to Wharton Arts through December 31 will be matched $1 for $1 by a very generous donor. The donor will match donations up to $50,000!
We will use these funds to build our grassroots efforts in Paterson to offer a free Saturday Youth Orchestra, bringing young musicians across the city to play together. These funds are essential to continuing our delightful community choir for older adults. We will also celebrate New Jersey Youth Symphony's 40th anniversary this year with a public concert at New Jersey Performing Arts Center. We need your support to make all of this possible! Make an online donation here.
