Bull Session
Writing Human Code
On this episode of The Digital Life, we discuss the plan to create a complete artificial human genome. A few weeks ago, scientists, entrepreneurs, and government officials met in a closed door meeting at Harvard University at an event intended to create interest and momentum around the follow-up to the Human Genome Project — a public / private collaboration to synthesize a human genome.
Over the past decade, the technology for encoding genes has improved at a fantastic rate. Since the early 2000s, the cost has dropped from four dollars to just three cents per base pair. However, while big pharma and big agriculture currently synthesize gene sequences for products including biologic drugs and GMO plants, these strands of genetic material are usually only a few thousand letters in length. Contrast that with the 6 billion letters needed for the human genome, and we can begin to see the ambition of this new proposed endeavor. In this episode, we explore some of the arguments in favor of and against writing human code.
Ethical Questions Loom Over Efforts to Make a Human Genome from Scratch
Jon :
Welcome to episode 158 of The Digital Life, the show about our adventures in the world of design and technology. I'm your host Jon Follett and with me is founder and co-host Dirk Knemeyer.
Dirk :
Greetings, Jon.
For our podcast today, we're going to discuss the recently revealed plan to fabricate a human genome from scratch. A few weeks ago, about 150 scientists, entrepreneurs, and government officials met behind closed doors at Harvard to discuss what is to be the followup to the Human Genome Project. Its focus is rather than reading the human genome, it's writing one which is pretty audacious and pretty adventuresome when it comes to a project I think. The event itself was meant to create some interest around this idea and take on this huge task of generating what amounts to six billion letters that make up a human genome and sing that synthesized genome to start up a cell.
Right now, the current state of the art is that we all know that Big Agriculture and Big Pharma are using custom made-to-order gene sequences for various reasons whether it's modifying plants. You have all that hype and gnashing of teeth over GMO plants, and then also for creating biologics. We know that Big Pharma is creating biologics like insulin for treating diabetes. These strands of DNA that are used to do that, to create the GMO agriculture or biologics, those are relatively short in comparison to a human genome. You're talking about a couple thousand letters versus six billion. That's quite a couple orders of magnitude there.
The cost keeps coming down as we all are aware that with advancing technology, the power increases and the cost decreases. Encoding genes is getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. In the early 2000s, it was $4 for a base pair and today it's three cents. It's more than 100 times. This is the mandate of this, I guess it's the Human Genome Writing project or whatever they're going to call it, but it calls into question all sorts of ethical boundaries and aspects that people and society may not be ready for. I've seen a number of objections to this project including that perhaps, it would be more productive to try to create the entire genomic sequence for another organism first, not start with the human being. There's the thought that you could create a human genome and change it. Make a super soldier or somebody who is immune to all viruses, for instance, is a thought that's been entertained, which then the follow-on thought is "well then, the bad actors are going to try to create super viruses to take out the super soldiers."
This is the realm of science fiction yesterday is science fact today.
That's the theme of the show, isn't it Jon?
I think so. This is the reality of this project, is that it touches on some nerves. Dirk, what's your initial take on that?
I don't know, Jon. These things are just inevitable at this point. We've mapped the genome, of course we're going to fabricate a genome. There's going to be some ethicists that are wringing their hands, but science is well on its way here. I think the general public doesn't understand enough and so is not going to get religion on trying to rise up against any of this stuff. It's complicated too by the fact that the people, like our friend George Church, who are behind these projects, their goals are aspirational ones. Their goals are modest and have nothing to do with super soldiers. They have to do with things that you hear. You're going to shrug and shake your head, say, "Yeah, kind of makes sense. Might as well be doing that."
It's only in the realm of the fantastical and A+B=Z that it starts to get a little funky. I think that's what going to happen one way or the other. Nothing's going to stop it. This is all just theater for the public from the standpoint of ethics and committees and, "Oh dear, what should we do?" For me, the interesting questions are in this, with what's done with the human genome along with so many other branches of science and technology that we talk about on the show. Where are we headed? What does it mean "of the human condition?" To me, that's interesting. The idea of ethically WTF about this. I don't know. It's asked and answered like so many things, and it's coming.
Yeah. I think one of the fears and perhaps the reason why these fantastical scenarios are raised is that as you point out, there is some fear about what the general public, what the backlash or acceptance rate will be because keep in mind, the sequencing, the human genome, cost a couple billion dollars when it was first done and that was largely funded, if not entirely funded, but the US Government. There is a certain amount of healthy respect for public opinion that whether it's warranted or not, if the science should be able to move forward on its own, ethical guidelines, that's one position. We do have the questions of research, funding, societal acceptance of each of these small steps forward.
When we're talking about synthesizing a human genome, this is still way far away from synthesizing a human being from scratch. These are not the same things. They're not even in the same ranges, but public understand of the science is certainly not to the point where that's common knowledge.
The public isn't even paying attention. The media's not paying attention. The article that lended this conversation was in, what, MIT Technology Review? It wasn't in The New York Times or The Washington Post. If it was in The New York Times or Washington Post, it's not front page big headlines people talking about it at the water cooler. This is such inside baseball still at this point.
Yeah. It's an interesting time for the genomics field because I do think that these sorts of initiatives whether it's the Human Genome Project or this new writing the human genome, these are the impetus for the science to become commercialized. The Human Genome Project is early 2000s when that was completed, and that's led to all sorts of advancements in genomic sequencing and thus the testing that you can get done in a lightweight way at 23andme or in a much more comprehensive way via medical providers, labs that provide tests to your hospital. All of that technology was seeded by the Human Genome Project. Without that project, the commercialization probably wouldn't have happened at that clip and we would be able to pay $1000 for a whole genome sequencing, which is pretty significant.
When we're talking about writing the human genome, it's a natural follow-on and it's also creating, again, the moon shots. Wrong-
Analogy, but it's a similar very strong initiative that is going to provide the impetus for further commercialization and competition, which ultimately a lot of good things will come out of it. It's interesting how these projects take shape because at the end of the day, we want them to be able to move forward so that the science can move forward without, I wouldn't say unimpeded but at least allow this to happen without undue restriction because we know that the outcomes can be quite positive. I think there's that interesting mix of ethics and discussion going on right now, and even if it is at a low level. It's not, like you said, front page news. It's certainly significant enough and it's going to determine how the science proceeds.
People care more about gorillas being shot in zoos than they do about any of this stuff, which gives you a sense of the level of sophistication that the general public gives to their analysis of world happenings and makes decisions on what's important and what's not. Look, the reason that people can rarely see the future clearly is that the way that the future manifests is the product of all of these dynamic systems moving in different ways, not in lock-step by any stretch, each of which in different mechanisms fundamentally changes the way that people see the world and the way that the world reacts to new things.
Where I'm going with this, and tying back into this conversation, is I've talked a number of times on the show about humans having bad programming. Let me get into that with more specificity. When we were unsophisticated beings going back, I probably need to know my history of human biology better, but going back many thousands or millions of years, it was important that essential in our programming was drive to procreate, for example. For that to be just this inherently important code in how we behaved as a creature was essential, and it's what allowed our species to continue and to reach a point of dominance over the rest of the animal kingdom and get to the point today where our ability to think and reason and logic is incredibly evolved and sophisticated.
That code was important for that moment, but in today's world with the way that we're able to see the world, the way that we function in societies in the world, that code is garbage code. It's like if you were looking at the latest and greatest software today, it would be like getting an app that's totally coded in basic. People would be like, "What the hell are they doing? It's using this code that is so unsophisticated, such bullshit." We can't use that code. We need to be using the latest and greatest code. Human programming is still done in fricking basic. We still have, going back to the show, I don't know how long it was now, but I talked about male sexual urges and the deleterious impact that those have on other people in the society specifically but then in the society in total. That's bad fricking programming. That's a lot of basic code that is still crumming up how we behave and how we function in the world.
My saying this today is going to sound to most people like it's crazy. It's going to sound to most people like I've gone off my rocker, but as these technologies around the genome progress, as we learn to fabricate the genome, as we learn to fabricate a human being, as we learn to engineer babies, as we learn to reverse and re-engineer children and adults and humans, that's going to come in the future. That's a ways down the road. I'm going to tell you right now, at the point that that becomes a reality, all these other things in the world will have changed to the point where people are going to shrug and say, "Yeah, of course we have bad code. Of course we have crummy code. Of course we should be taking advantage of those technologies."
That stuff today in 2016, or 10 or 15 years ago when I first started talking about this stuff, might sound crazy, but in 20-blabbity blah, decades up the road when this shit is reality, it's not going to sound crazy at all. The kind of work that's being done now by people like George Church, by companies like Gen9, by these things the mainstream media are totally ignoring and people are not aware of are going to be the technologies that allow us to evolve beyond our broken basic crappy code that was necessary when we were thoughtless, stupid creatures just trying to battle our way to the top of the animal kingdom. That's going to all go away and be replaced by something else that is coming from these kinds of technologies, possibly or probably, and the world is going to be ready for it and not only accept it, but embrace it because in the context of our evolution as a species, it simply makes sense.

Information for Parishes
New space for workers created inside church
Beyond our diocese
IMAGINE that you're self-employed or work largely at home. You have no colleagues to bounce ideas off, or to socialise with during the day.
You might be looking for a space where you can work in peace, pause for coffee and chat, and to connect with other like-minded people. Now St Luke's Church has created just that kind of space for you.
The inside of the church has been refurbished to provide a co-working space during the week. It has a fully-functioning coffee bar, long conference tables to work on, high-speed Wifi, comfy chairs for meetings – and you can also join in with the church's regular rhythm of prayer.
It's all part of the redevelopment of St Luke's Church, in city centre Portsmouth. It already reaches out effectively to students living nearby. This should help it to connect with local people working during the week.
The space is called 'The Host', a name designed to suggest God acting as the host of the building. It also involves two part-time pioneer ministers, Mark Gandey and Abi Lane, who help to create an effective working environment and offer support.
Mark, who is a digital marketing professional and oversaw the development of Harbour Church's coffee shop, said: "We're offering this space partly because local data shows an increase in young professionals in their parish. The Host aims to support new businesses, alongside making local entrepreneurs aware of common social issues in the area.
"To prepare for this, we wrote a business plan, visited similar co-worker spaces elsewhere and took advice from experts in this field. We wanted to be realistic about what we could provide and who we were aiming at."
And Abi, who is a business graduate who owns her own ethical clothing company said: "The business is built on ethical, kingdom principles. We aim to help people to network, to think about the social impact of what they do, and to be aware of the transformation that faith can bring.
"So, for instance, the furniture in the space is upcycled. We've reclaimed it from being thrown away, or bought it from charity shops. And there is a place within the church where regular prayer will happen throughout the day, showing that encounters with God are still at the heart of what happens here."
The Host Space offers workspace, company, continuous coffee and reliable Wifi, with regular prayer happening alongside
The Rev Annie McCabe illustrates how the workspace can be used for breakout meetings
One important aspect of the transformation of St Luke's was the recycling of its old 19th century pews to create the long conference tables and the coffee bar. Paul Tipping, from Salty Sea Dog Does Wood, and Aaron Sayers, from Aaron's Wood'n'Stuff, re-fashioned the pews in the Naval Dockyard over a number of weeks.
"I was working as an officer manager, but I took a course in Boathouse 4 in the naval dockyard about traditional boat-crafting and marine construction," said Paul. "I loved working with wood, and if you can build boats, you can build anything! It gave me confidence to quit my office job and do this full-time.
"I met Aaron and we got the job at St Luke's. The navy helped us to take the pews out and we re-fashioned them in Boathouse 4. Taking a pew apart without damaging it is tricky, as they were held together with Victorian iron nails, many of which were rusty. The wood would splinter easily and there was also 150 years of dirt on them.
"But we managed to make three conference tables out of 12 pews, and then make the coffee bar as well. It was enjoyable, and we're now thinking of making other items of furniture out of the pews and auctioning them off."
An auction of furniture made out of the church's old pews will take place in February. Details here.
The £1.5m project to transform St Luke's Church will also involve creating a new entrance and café on the west side of the building, revamping its garden, and providing better facilities for other community groups.
Worshippers aim to make the church a place of worship, spirituality and rest in an area of the city where people are typically busy and purposeful. They also want to link together students, city centre workers, local residents and shoppers, all of whom use the city centre.
The Host co-working space is open from 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday. At the end of the week, the furniture is cleared away and the church prepared for Sunday worship.

Core development updates, known as the "bleeding edge"
By default, every site has automatic updates enabled for minor core releases and translation files. Sites already running a development version also have automatic updates to further development versions enabled by default.
2) Click the Green Control Panel login button.
3) Scroll all the way down to WordPress Icon in the Softaculous Addon.
4) At the bottom if you have WordPress installed using the installer, this will allow you to manage settings, such as Autmated Backups and Updates.
5) Click the Pencil Icon and Edit your WordPress Update Settings and then click Save Installation.
Automatic updates can be configured using one of two methods: defining constants in wp-config.php, or adding filters using a Plugin.
Using wp-config.php, automatic updates can be disabled completely, and core updates can be disabled or configured based on update type.
To enable automatic updates for major releases or development purposes, the place to start is with the WP_AUTO_UPDATE_COREconstant. Defining this constant one of three ways allows you to blanket-enable, or blanket-disable several types of core updates at once.
Note that only sites already running a development version will receive development updates.
For development sites, the default value of WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE is true. For other sites sites, the default value of WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE is minor.
Using filters allows for fine-tuned control of automatic updates.
The best place to put these filters is in a must-use plugin.
Do not add add_filter() calls directly in wp-config.php. WordPress isn't fully loaded and can cause conflicts with other applications such as WP-CLI.
But let's say rather than enabling or disabling all three types of core updates, you want to selectively enable or disable them. That's where the allow_dev_auto_core_updates, allow_minor_auto_core_updates, and allow_major_auto_core_updates filters come in.
By default, automatic background updates only happen for plugins and themes in special cases, as determined by the WordPress.org API response, which is controlled by the WordPress security team for patching critical vulnerabilities. To enable or disable updates in all cases, you can leverage the auto_update_$type filter, where $type would be replaced with "plugin" or "theme".
You can use __return_false instead of __return_true to specifically disable all plugin & theme updates, even forced security pushes from the WordPress security team.
Automatic translation file updates are already enabled by default, the same as minor core updates.
When an automatic update either succeeds or fails, WordPress sends a notification email to the email address provided at Settings -> General from wordpress@yourdomain.com.
/* @param bool   $send        Whether to send the email. Default true.
* @param string $type        The type of email to send.
*                            Can be one of 'success', 'fail', 'critical'.
* @param object $core_update The update offer that was attempted.
* @param mixed  $result      The result for the core update. Can be WP_Error.

Suboxone contains buprenorphine which is the opioid agonist that eliminates opioid withdrawal. Suboxone is more available now and is widely regarded in the medical community as a highly effective pharmaceutical intervention for mild to moderate opioid addiction. If you are a local physician who treats Oklahoma City area residents, you may purchase a featured listing at the top of this page insuring that your medical services will be found by prospective patients searching our website for quality opioid treatment.


Taito has published some screenshots from their upcoming online coin-op racing title Top Speed and overall I'd have to say that so far they look pretty good, and it will be even better if the game runs at a solid 60 fps. Between the nice graphics and the online features Top Speed is shaping up to be a solid contender in the crowded racer arena but it still remains to be seen how the game plays. As you might recall, Top Speed allows for players to race against others over the internet who are playing the game in other arcades and it even includes a built-in chat feature. Click on the thumbs below for a better view.
This is looking pretty… well pretty! Like you said Shaggy, lets hope the frame rate is good. Because without that, in my opinion, graphics don't matter.
sounds good yet it just seems too much of the same thing really. don't get me wrong but I would like to see some games coming out that actually offer something fresh and new for a change. but still I've not played this game so I can't really say.
That would be why I'd like to see something along the lines of Hot Rod and not the umpteenth iteration of a 'realistic' driving/racing game–don't we have enough of these on consoles?!
racers are better off in the arcade apart from some e.g. GTA series and mario kart( but mario kart is good for both arcade and home anyway). I really want a daytona 3 to come out soon and a new hang on.
At least it's nice and bright and arcadey looking. Taito arcade games in recent years were quite ugly and dated looking even when they were brand new.
Something like Hot Rod would be a nice change alright. Having 4 players facing each other was a nice social experience.

Track & Field Men, Women Finish Third at 2005 Pac-10 Championships
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The 2005 Pac-10 Conference Track and Field Championships came to a conclusion Sunday afternoon with both the men and women's teams representing Arizona State University claiming third-place finishes in the meet conducted inside Drake Stadium on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. The Sun Devil men captured three individual and two relay crowns while the women secured one of each.
Oregon won the men's race with 152 points with UCLA (134.50), ASU (122), USC (106) and Washington (75.5) rounding out the Top 5. The point total for the men is the second-largest in school history, bettered only by the 1981 Pac-10 Championship team that secured 133 points. On the women's side, Stanford ran away with the crown with 173 points and were followed by the Bruins (125), Sun Devils (118), USC Trojans (99) and California Golden Bears (82) in the Top 5. For ASU, the 118 points stands as a school record and is just the third time the women have broken the century mark in points.
Seth Amoo went out on top in a trio of events as the senior opened the day as the third leg of the championship 4x100m relay. Along with Steven Koehnemann, Domenik Peterson and Kelvin Love, the relay clocked in at 39.10 to win the race for the second season in a row. Later in the day, Amoo again stepped on the track and won the 200m dash in 20.63 to give the program its first 200m champion since 2001 when Marcus Brunson won gold. Also in the race, the Sun Devils picked up numerous team points as Peterson placed third, Lewis Banda took fourth and Love finished seventh. Amoo, a little less than one hour removed from the 200m event, returned to the track one last time and ran the second leg of the victorious 4x400m relay team (3:02.85). Amoo, Jason Barton, Peterson and Banda combined to win the event for the fifth-year in a row.
The women also were victorious in the final race of the meet as Cassandra Reed staked the Sun Devils to an early lead that Christina Hardeman, Porchea Carroll and Kandace Tucker would maintain the remainder of the race and finish first at 3:35.68. The win for ASU marks the first relay title in 10 years when the quartet of Lade Akinremi, Tayo Akinremi, Jacqui Gayle and Avia Morgan won the race in 1995.
On the final day, Peterson finished runner-up in the 400m dash while three ASU men finished third in their respective events, including Amoo in the 100m dash, Peterson in the 200m and Ryan Zimmerman in the triple jump. Several others scored for the team on the day including Barton in the 400m dash (seventh), Aaron Aguayo (fifth) and Ryan Warrenburg (eighth) in the 5,000m run and Travis Jones (sixth) in the discus.
On the women's side, Carroll, the third-place finisher in the long jump one day earlier, finished second in the 200m dash and third in the 100m dash to help pace the team. Reed (400m dash) and Jessica Pressley (hammer) each captured runner-up finishes in their respective events while third-place finishes were captured by Desiree Davila in the 5,000m run and Angela Tavlarides in the pole vault.
Overall, the team earned points from Top 8 finishes from Tucker (seventh) and Reed (eighth) in the 200m, Hardeman (seventh) in the 400m dash, Rachel Ellison (fifth) in the 1,500m run, Victoria Jackson (fourth) in the 5,000m run, Julia Pedersen (fourth) and Pressley (seventh) in the discus and Jennifer Kowacz (seventh) in the hammer. Historically, Carroll's time of 23.32 ranks as the fourth-fastest in school history while Ellison's time of 4:21.73 matches the fourth-fastest time in school history set by Amy Hastings last year.
In ASU's annual Pac-10 Championships High Point Award, Carroll earned the honor for the women as she tallied 21.5 points for the Sun Devils on the weekend. Pressley was second with 18 points following by Jackson with 13 points, Reed with 11.5 points and Anna Masinelli with 10 points. Amoo captured the distinction on the men's side with 21 points while Peterson was second with 19 points and Aguayo third with 14 points.
Several members of the Sun Devil program will return to action next weekend as they travel south to Tucson for the Tucson Elite Invitational Saturday. One week later, those members of the team that have qualified will head to Eugene, Ore., for the 2005 NCAA West Region Championships, May 27-28.

In her multidisciplinary work, Sarah Westphal explores the relationship between people, objects and their surroundings. A key part of this investigation focuses on how qualities of place contribute to our human experience. How do we perceive the world around us? What stories can be read from the layered history of imprints?
In a kind of archaeological research, Westphal (re)constructs missing links in site-specific installations that can be physically experienced. Sculptures, photographs and projections shift between two- and three-dimensionality, between reality and fiction. With an evocative tactility and high sensuality, Westphal opens up spaces inviting the viewer to get lost in them. The entire oeuvre is a labyrinth in which to wander and lose one's way, a mental space that seduces and deceives. Westphal's slow process of waiting, watching, where the gaze sees, feels, hears and tastes could be an antidote to the ephemerality of images nowadays.
Westphal was selected for Turning Photography, an online platform initiated on occasion of the Belgian Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale to turn the spotlight on some of the most audacious artists working in the medium of photography in Belgium today.

Lights, camera, action: the Ferrari F150 is drift-astic (w/VIDEO)
This time next week we'll be just hours away from knowing exactly what Ferrari's Enzo replacement looks like, and whether it has the fire-power to take on and beat McLaren's 903bhp P1.
Codenamed F150, Ferrari's new hyper car will be the most extreme road car the company has ever made and will encapsulate its most futuristic technologies – derived from Formula One and sports car racing.
We've already seen a peek of the prototype circulating Fiorano circuit, but that was running through a series of (slow-ish) test programmes. The video above captures Ferrari's test engineer showing just how much fun the F150 is on the limit, and boy can it drift..
Weighing little more than 1,100kg, the F150 is built on a wheelbase no larger than that of the 458 Italia and will be powered by a V12 engine combined with Ferrari's patented HY-KERS hybrid system. Power output from the V12 petrol engine is rumoured to be around 800bhp, which combined with a 150bhp electric motor, should result in a total output some 30-40bhp more than the P1.
Like the McLaren, power from the HY-KERS system should be accessible at the touch of a button (for overtaking) via the latest evolution of Ferrari's Manettino settings on the steering wheel.
It's the most eagerly awaited new Ferrari in a decade and we'll have all the news, including its final production name, in just over a week's time. Meanwhile listen to the video with your speaker cranked up.

Whereas in Germany Hendrik Witbooi (approx. 1835–1905) is mostly forgotten, he has become a symbol for an unyielding fighter for freedom in Namibia after its independence. Having been baptized and acted as church elder for some time, Hendrik Witbooi had formed close ties to the Rhenish Missionary Society. In 1888 Hendrik became kapitein of the Witboois, a group of Orlam-Nama who had migrated from South Africa to present-day Namibia in the 1850s, and after his religious awakening he tried to lead them on their migration to a "promised land". As a consequence to this he became engaged into armed conflicts with the Herero which also led to various confrontations with the missionaries and with the German colonial power which began to establish itself during that time. His life drew to a close when he died fighting the German colonial powers in the Nama Rebellion in 1905.
The present biography aims at illustrating the political and religious challenges which Hendrik encountered during his life within the context of his faith and piety. Thus, it draws on sources which have been neglected in previous studies, such as personal letters of Hendrik Witbooi to various missionaries of the Rhenish Mission and to Major Theodor Leutwein, Landeshauptmann of Deutsch Südwest-Afrika for several years.
For the first time these sources help to form a firsthand picture of the personality of Hendrik Witbooi. Thus, this book excellently complements the biography by Gustav Menzel "Zwischen Widerstand und Gottesfurcht". Hendrik Witbooi und die Rheinische Mission in Namibia, see the following link:

Bale not ecstatic at Real Madrid, says manager
By Press Association December 6, 2019 0159
Real Madrid's Gareth Bale.
Gareth Bale's agent insists the Wales winger's departure from Real Madrid is not guaranteed despite admitting his client is "not ecstatic" at the club.
Bale, 30, has endured a difficult relationship with the Real fans and manager Zinedine Zidane despite scoring over 100 goals for the club, including a brace in the 2018 Champions League final as they beat Liverpool 3-1 to lift the trophy.
Asked if Bale is happy in the Spanish capital, agent Jonathan Barnett told BBC Sport's Football Daily podcast: "He's not ecstatic. (But) he has got a contract and as long as he is a Real Madrid player he will play at 100 per cent – and do very well.
"The facts and figures prove if he is on the field for Real Madrid they have a better chance of winning. A 100 per cent Gareth Bale is one of the best players in the world. The coach should be happy and honoured he is on the pitch for him.
"There's no guarantee he is leaving. If the right opportunity came along for him and it's something he wants to do we have to have a chat with the president of Real Madrid (Florentino Perez) and see where we are."
Having seen his commitment questioned in Spain, earning the nickname "the golfer" due to his time spent playing the other sport, Bale courted controversy after Wales' Euro 2020 qualification by holding up a Welsh flag decorated with the words "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order".
Barnett said: "It was directed only to the media because they had been writing very infantile and stupid stories from people that do not know him.
"The truth is he has done fantastically for Real Madrid in the years he has been there and helped them win so much. It's hard to imagine why the crowd react the way they do to him and listen to people that say things in the press.
"People say it would be better if he speaks the language but he speaks fluent Spanish and people write things that are complete rubbish.
"Gareth does not really like speaking to the press and that's his prerogative. He is not an entertainer as such, he's a footballer, he speaks on the field and his results have been amazing. People should realise that and start applauding him for what he is achieving."

I am having the same problem and it appears it has something to do with Cox outsourcing their email servers...though, there have been no permanent solutions provided so far. Prior to this I NEVER received a single spam email in my inbox. Not happy.
I still get tons of Spam on my old email address on a family member's account, but I have noticed the new usernames I created on my personal account gets NO spam. For those not attached to their specific username, I would suggest creating a new email address, or even several, and comparing which get SPAM. I wish Cox would just fix the problem, but that seems to be taking a long time.
Why doesn't COX have these filters in place for INCOMING email? Why do your users have to become experts at filtering SPAM emails? Cox easily recognizes the spam on their OUTGOING servers, so why aren't those same filters in place for INCOMING emails?
The solutions suggested from Cox representatives on these forums is a useless waste of everybody's time - reporting the SPAM using the "report as spam" button, or sending it to reportspam@cox.net is useless and a waste of time - it changes absolutely NOTHING!

Marcos has been cooking all afternoon. The woodcutter led the children into the deepest part of the forest and abandoned them. This park reminds me of my childhood. Do you guys need some help? Merat has fully recovered. Have you ever given a speech in French? Leonard needs Susumu. If you don't know how to swim, you should learn. She'd been sitting at the stop for about ten minutes till the bus arrived. I was trying to take it easy.
She cannot have been ill. Maybe this world is another planet's Hell. I don't think there is a doctor here. Please help him! I think that the Harry Potter series is longer than the Bible. This is what you wanted, right? Oh, we're out of sugar. I hope I'm not making a mistake. I cleaned one. Jeez, what're you up to?
I'll do my homework after I watch television. He's my husband's dad. He's my father-in-law. Now why would you go and do a stupid thing like that? I must object to this plan. She just wrote a book. No matter what you do, Annard will never agree. Boeing developed a flying boat for the Maritime Self-Defense Force. It must be removed. I don't see how that's possible. Just picture to yourself the horror with which I saw the scene.
Let's hash it all out. My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain. Derek had nothing to do with that. I'm going to go tomorrow no matter what. What are the main sights around here? That statement is incorrect. Call me if you find her. It's healthy to be crazy. That was really interesting. It's a big animal.
This rope is very weak. Have you been seeing a shrink? How large is the population of this city? Her book quickly became a bestseller. We must prevent the fire from reaching the gunpowder at any cost. Elias is going to law school. Did you think of how embarrassing it would be for Charlene? They exported tea mainly to Europe. Eddie and Jarl both stared at John without saying anything. Tyro was married to Cretheus but loved Enipeus.
I know who you were with. He acknowledged his fault. David and Art have an open relationship and have agreed that they can each see other people while in the relationship. I just found out that my dad is not my biological father. Tarmi snatched the doll away from Manjeri. It often happens that railway traffic is suspended by a heavy snowfall. No, Sir, I am German. The men are hungry. We can go together if you wish. This coffee is too bitter.
She thinks I'm jealous. We talked about various topics. I've been thinking a lot about that recently. What does this look like? The classroom is empty. They are Hungary-born. Delays should be expected. I can't remember the last time I spoke to Dennis. I'm excited about it. The room was bare.
Why did you start learning French? I wouldn't tell Robin about that if I were you. It's warmer in the house. Let's go inside. I don't want to talk about this. I haven't seen him in years. Why am I being asked to go back to Boston? You don't need to know. I finally decided to go and see Pilar. It makes me jealous. Why did Claude want to talk to me?
Tell me what happened to him. Herb is one of the finest songwriters I know. Stanley put the cake in the oven. Emily and Kate are friends. Let me help. Hughes got hurt when he fell down. We're excited about the challenge. Sanche is still living at home with his parents. I looked it over once more. Tell me what has become of him.
Donal needs treatment. They heard crying. Sorrel took Nelken into his arms, and they kissed each other passionately. Too bad. Minutes passed like days. There is nothing on earth that is not affected by the sun. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. Good morning my sunshine. I am Francesco. I'll deal with him later.

What marketers can learn from Lavar Ball
by T. Scott Major May 24, 2017
The retired football player and founder of Big Baller Brand is proof that you don't need an MBA to be a successful marketer, writes mono's creative director.
Over the years, the marketing industry has slowly and steadily fallen asleep at the wheel. Social media, the possibility of instant virility, political correctness: It has led to a bunch of brands that look, act and talk the same. It's time for us to find a way to break brands out of this slumber, and I think we can take a lesson from Lavar Ball.
The first time I saw Lavar Ball was on TMZ Sports two months ago. He was being interviewed via Skype, and was claiming his oldest son Lonzo Ball was a better basketball player than two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry. At the time, Lonzo was a freshman at UCLA and was quickly becoming one of the top collegiate players in the country. But, to say that he was better than Stephen Curry seemed ridiculous, and media and sports fans agreed. A week later, Lavar Ball was at it again, saying he himself could beat Michael Jordan one-on-one. And just like that, Lavar Ball became a globally-recognized name.
Lavar is proof you don't need an MBA to be a successful marketer. He's been on the biggest and best TV and radio sports shows. He's been grooming his three sons to play in the NBA since they were born, and they probably all will. And he has built a sports fashion company, Big Baller Brand, out of his home.
You don't need to love Lavar Ball as a person, but you can't deny he's crushing it. His sudden marketing success has a lot of method mixed in with the madness, and here's what marketers can learn from it all:
Develop a compelling, genuine story
For the past 20 years, Lavar Ball and his wife have dedicated themselves to raising their three sons, Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo, for the NBA. Lavar told his boys that their future was all planned. "These boys were born to go pro. Your mom's a P.E. teacher, I'm a personal trainer, your last name is Ball. How much more lined up can you be?"
Lavar groomed Lonzo into one of the top 2017 NBA Draft Lottery picks. And, it looks like his other two sons have a bright basketball future as well. Along with the incredible amount of confidence Lavar is instilling in his boys, he's also giving them a real grounding in family. There is so much depth to their story, which is what makes it so compelling.
Establish a strong and consistent voice
Lavar's personality is his brand. It's arrogant, outlandish and, to many people, off-putting. There are "Top 10 Quotes from Lavar Ball" posts all over social media, and many people say they make him sound crazy, stupid and put too much pressure on his sons' basketball careers. However, those same people can't stop talking about him. And when people ask his sons if they feel too much pressure from their dad they reply, "No, it doesn't bother us. He's talked like that for as long as we can remember." Unlike most brands, Lavar doesn't get rattled by tough questions, criticisms or failure. His voice and entertainment value are always on point and consistent.
When the world zigs, zag
Pretty much everything Lavar has done to this point has been to stand out instead of blend in. He said Lonzo is better than Stephen Curry. He said he could beat Michael Jordan one-on-one. He developed the Big Baller Brand ZO2 basketball shoe without any help from Nike, Adidas or Under Armour. And, he priced the shoe at $495 (which is three times more expensive than the average athlete shoe). All these antics have gone against the status quo. And those same antics have earned Lavar Ball more national media coverage than most brands and pro athletes in the past two-to-three months. If Lavar had played by the rules and chose to do things the "normal" way, no one would be talking about him.
No one knows how Lavar Ball's Big Baller Brand story will end. Much of it will depend on his sons' basketball careers. But, up to this point, he has captivated the country by doing everything the Lavar way, which is unique and interesting. And people are paying attention.

The Da Vinci Code is a 2006 American mystery-thriller film directed by Ron Howard.  The screenplay was written by Akiva Goldsman and based on Dan Brown's worldwide bestselling 2003 novel, The Da Vinci Code.  It was produced by Howard with John Calley and Brian Grazer and released by Columbia Pictures in the United States on May 19, 2006.

Due to controversial and inaccurate historical interpretations and perceived anti-Catholic elements, the film proved highly controversial in the Philippines, a highly religious country in Southeast Asia in which Catholicism is widely practised. Many organisations protested and organised boycotts against the showing of The Da Vinci Code in the Philippines, and the film was banned from being screened in the Philippine capital of Manila.

Initial reactions
The Philippine Alliance Against Pornography (PAAP) appealed to Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to stop the showing of The Da Vinci Code in the Philippines. They branded the film as "the most pornographic and blasphemous film in history" and also requested the help of Pope Benedict XVI, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and other religious groups to stop the showing of the film. The PAAP also compared Dan Brown to Adolf Hitler.

However, Cecille Guidote Alvarez, Philippine Presidential Adviser on Culture and the Arts, said Malacañang will not interfere in controversy about the film and leaves the decision to the Movie and Television Classification Board's (MTRCB) rating. Eventually, MTRCB decided to give The Da Vinci Code an R-18 rating (restricted to those under 18 years of age) despite PAAP's opposition for showing it.

Reactions from Philippine Catholic Bishops
Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), expressed through a pastoral letter that even though The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction, it "shapes the imagination, stirs emotions and forms mental associations" and added that "Brown has created the impression that his fiction is historical fact." Before the pastoral letter was written, Lipa Archdiocese Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, CBCP senior member, wrote Consoliza Laguardia, chairperson of the Movie and Television Classification Board (MTRCB), and requested her to prohibit the film's showing in the Philippines, where the majority are Christians, because of its "sacrilegious" and "blasphemous" nature.

Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, archbishop of Manila, said that the film is a "vicious attack on the divinity of Jesus Christ." He also added that "not since the time of the Presbyter Arius was there an attack on the divinity of Jesus Christ, which was as vicious and as momentarily profitable as this venture of Dan Brown and Sony Film Productions." Although the CBCP and Rosales did not categorically demand a ban of the film, they have issued guidelines for Filipino Catholics on watching the movie.

Just like MTRCB's rating, Mario Sobrejuanite, vice chairman of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines-Catholic Initiative for Enlightened Movie Appreciation (CBCP-Cinema), rated The Da Vinci Code as R-18 and stated that the film is something that Catholics should not be afraid of. However, the CBCP-Cinema rated the moral assessment on the film as "disturbing."

Reactions from the Muslim community
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front Deputy Chairman Khaled Musa appealed to the MTRCB to ban the film, arguing that the film is blasphemous not only to Catholics but also to Muslims because Jesus Christ is considered one of the Prophets of Islam. Musa recalled Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy with regards to this film and further explained that freedom of expression should not "invade" freedom of religion.

Ban in Manila
The City Councilors of Manila passed a resolution to ban the film, labelling it as "offensive and contrary to established religious beliefs which cannot take precedence over the right of the persons involved in the film to freedom of expression." The Councilors who concur to the resolution cited the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines stating that showing a film that offends a religion is a crime, while Councilors who opposed the decision noted that the film is only fiction and for entertainment. It was stated that cinema owners not heeding to the ban would face a one-year jail term and a Php 5,000 fine, and those persons selling DVD or VCD copies of the film could be fined Php 3,000 and jailed for up to six months. It was not banned in any of the other cities in Metro Manila, making the film easily accessible to citizens living in the capital.

Ban in SM Malls
The SM Supermalls, the largest chain of shopping malls in the Philippines, prohibited the showing of The Da Vinci Code in all of their movie theaters throughout the country.  This decision is in line with their policy for not showing films that were rated by MTRCB as R-18.

Although The Da Vinci Code was banned in the City of Manila and all SM Malls, it was still shown in other cinemas all over the Philippines. Robinsons Malls Movieworld, Gaisano Cinemas, Ayala Malls Cinemas, Glorietta Cinemas are a few of the cinema companies that showed the film.

The film's sequels, Angels and Demons and Inferno, were permitted nonetheless to be shown in the entire Philippines.

Proposed abolition of MTRCB
Despite The Da Vinci Code's R-18 rating by the MTRCB, Filipino Congressman Bienvenido Abante Jr. rallied to abolish the MTRCB for allowing the film to be shown. Abante, who is also the president of the Metropolitan Baptist Church of the Philippines and called the movie as demonic and diabolical, filed House Bill 3269 that seeks to abolish the television and film board.

In Cebu City, city moralist Rene Josef Bullecer said that the law that created the MTRCB does not allow the showing of the movie.

ST. EDEN is based upon an 11-acre rocky knoll that is part of a beautiful estate located just north of the Oakville Crossroad. Eden is an historical reference to this region's designation on nineteenth century maps.
SOIL: Iron Rich fractured volcanic rock from a landslide. Northern Exposure.
Always seemingly the more forward and showy in the early years, Bond's 2013 St. Eden has wonderful notes of cedar wood, new saddle leather, Asian plum sauce, blackcurrants, licorice, and a touch of toasty oak. Dense purple in color, full-bodied and voluptuous, this stunner is easily the most approachable of the Bond 2013s. Drink it over the next 30+ years.
The 2012 St. Eden shows gorgeous, cedary Christmas fruitcake notes, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, spice box, earth, and almost first growth Pauillac-like cassis and lead pencil shavings. Deep, full-bodied, and fabulously concentrated, this stunner flirts with perfection. Slightly more evolved than the Quella or Melbury, this wine may be the most drinkable out of the gate of all the Bond offerings in 2012. It should continue to evolve for at least 30+ years.
The 2011 St. Eden is especially dark and brooding in this vintage. Inward and tightly wound, the 2011 nevertheless possesses gorgeous mid-palate density and finesse. Graphite, smoke, earthiness, dark cherry and plum notes gradually open up. Hints of sage, tobacco and menthol are all laced into the powerful finish. The 2011 St. Eden is a gem, it just needs time to fully come together.
The 2010 St. Eden is sumptuous, rich and layered. A dark and totally sensual wine, the 2010 flows across the palate with seemingly endless layers of striking, beautifully perfumed fruit. This is one of the most, polished, refined wines of the year. The aromas and flavors seem to explode in all directions in a stunning expression of one of the great sites in Oakville. Today the 2010 is naturally quite primary, but it should start drinking well in another few years.
The 2008 St. Eden is one of the richest, fleshiest and best-balanced of the 2008s in the Bond portfolio. Dark red fruit, flowers, minerals and spices are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. The 2008 has the mid-palate pliancy that is less evident in some of the other 2008s here. There is plenty of focus as well, especially on the long, saline finish. Tar, smoke and licorice add the final notes of complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.
Not surprisingly, the 2007 St. Eden flirts with perfection. Another Pauillac look-alike, it offers up glorious aromas of cedarwood, creme de cassis, spice box, high class unsmoked cigar tobacco, roasted herbs and a hint of mocha. The complex aromas brilliantly conceal the long aging in new French oak. This compelling, singular, full-bodied, multilayered, sensational Cabernet Sauvignon can be drunk early (because of the flamboyance and unctuosity of the vintage), but promises to provide thrilling consumption in 30+ years.
From the valley floor vineyard in Oakville, the 2006 St. Eden has shed some of its tannic clout of last year and taken on a generously endowed style, with stunning black fruits, roasted herbs, sweet cassis, graphite, and new oak. Fleshy and even opulent (an anomaly for a 2006), this is an impressively endowed Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 25 years.
Even more captivating than the 2005 Melbury, with extraordinary depth and palate presence is the dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied 2005 St. Eden. It possesses the bluer, blacker fruits that seem to come from this area of Pritchard Hill in addition to extraordinary notes of charcoal, acacia flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. This seamlessly constructed 2005 is a sensational effort that is displaying even greater potential than I saw last year. It will drink beautifully for three decades.
The 2004 St. Eden seems to hit all the sweet spots on my palate. A wine of great complexity, richness, and intensity, with oodles of creme de cassis fruit and plenty of roasted herbs and meatiness, with exceptional power and richness, this wine has fleshed out since I had it last year, and seems to be destined to be one of Bond's most compelling wines, a full-bodied wine with great purity, richness, and beautifully integrated acidity, wood, and tannin. Give it 1–3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 25 years.
The 2003 St. Eden offers full-bodied, sweet cigar tobacco, spice licorice, and meaty characteristics, good richness and fatness, and huge concentration and intensity. Performing even better from bottle than it did from barrel, it is a strong candidate for the top wine of the vintage. Already accessible, this beauty should age effortlessly for 15–20 years.
The 2002 St. Eden, which comes from a valley floor vineyard in the Oakville corridor, is unreal. I had given the 2001 a perfect score, but the 2002 (made by the brain trust of on-site winemaker Bob Levy and outside French consultant Michel Rolland) is showing incredible elements of cedarwood, licorice, chocolate and creme de cassis as well as exquisite texture, full-bodied intensity, and unbelievable purity and length. It is only the second vintage for this vineyard, leased by Bill Harlan for several decades, and it has turned out to be a killer Cabernet Sauvignon and a great classic of Napa. It should drink well for 20-25 years.
Utterly perfect, another wine that seems to have taken on a first-growth Pauillac-like character (think Mouton-Rothschild) is the 2001 St. Eden. With a remarkably perfumed nose of crushed rocks, subtle barbecue smoke, and again, cedar wood intermixed with creme de cassis and blackberry, this wine displays a phenomenally concentrated mouthfeel, full-bodied opulence, voluptuous texture, and of this trio, is certainly the closest to its apogee of full maturity. Nevertheless, it will still benefit from another 5-10 years of cellaring and keep for an additional 25-30.

Best New Music: JERICHO SIRENS by Hot Snakes
by selectedbyguerino
There is a particular emotion each time we listen to a new album from a band that has spent so much time in silence. Jericho Sirens, the fourth and latest LP by Hot Snakes, arrives fourteen years after their previous release. And as only the exceptional records can do, the new album looks so well done and vigorous that it has really the potential to excite both the old fans of the Californian band and also those younger listeners who approached since only a few years the scratchy sounds of indie rock and post-hardcore.
The line-up of the band is basically the same of their early works, and this for sure helps. But what's remained unchanged, above every other thing, is the rebellious spirit and the musical creativity. To some extent one could feel that all the time which has passed between the two last records has passed – musically speaking – in a flash. But this is not the case, and in fact the songs in Jerico Sirens exude all the effort and committment that the band has dedicated to the album. Nothing here is approximate and we're far from a purely commercial operation. You really feel the genuine desire to switch on again the spark that illuminated the rock scene during a few but intense years at the beginning of the new century.
Guitarist and singer John Reis (foreground) formed the Hot Snakes in 1999 in San Diego, California, together with Rick Froberg.
The sound that is emanated in the ten new tracks of Jericho Sirens is strongly based on that intriguing mix of garage rock and hardcore that the band consolidated with their first three albums. The rhythm is always sustained, John Reis and Rick Froberg hit hard on their guitars from the first to the last minute of the album. The energy however, hits you in a surgical way: all the instruments play strong and compact, the energy is directed in one single direction, and the balance between dissonances and melodies reaches in some passages the absolute perfection.
The tones are generally polemical and negative, the guys from San Diego are not here to tell us that life is easy and beautiful. But what we hear is not a cry of abandonment and despair, it is rather a scream of rage and disgust towards mediocrity, something that pushes you to react rather than to give up. And this is perhaps the secret of the music of Hot Snakes: the ability to combine a genuine protest towards the system with a sharp, essential and effective musical assault which doesn't disperse any beat with unnecessary nuances.
Jericho Sirens was released on March 16th by Sub Pop. The album can be acquired on bandcamp and it's also available for streaming on Spotify.

Après La Classe is a ska band from the Province of Lecce, Italy. The band is composed by six members: a singer, a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, an organist and a disk-jockey.

Band history
Formed in 1996, the band changed its line-up in 1999 and 2002 beginning to play in regional music events with the record label "Edel Italia".
The debut album was "Après la Classe" (2002) with the disco and radio hit "Paris". This song was also selected in 2006 as theme song for national commercial and for TV program Le Iene. Their second album "Un numero" was released in 2004.

Linked to Salento traditional music, Après la Classe re-arranged and presented again classical songs like "Kalì Nifta", "Lu rusciu te lu mare", and famous Italian cover songs like Adriano Pappalardo's "Ricominciamo".

They played also with other Italian famous ska and reggae bands, such as Sud Sound System, and the rapper Caparezza. Their genres are pop, rock, ska and dance. The singer also sings in French.

In 2006 the album "Lunapark" was released for On the road music factory label, anticipated by a national tour.

They also took part in three editions of the Concerto del Primo Maggio in Rome (2007, 2008 and 2009).

The band was the protagonist of a pictures book, published in November 2009, and called "Il Ritmo Nel Tacco", with Sud Sound System, Raffaele Casarano and Cesare Dell'Anna. The preface author was Caparezza.

"Mammalitaliani", in collaboration of Caparezza, was released in summer 2010.

Undefeated (2011) is an inspirational story of Manassas Tigers football team and their coach Bill Courtney. To call it a football or sports film is unrewarding as it a story of social and political circumstances, poverty, privilege, education and inspiration. The film won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2012.
The impoverished community around the Manassas high school football team struggle to change their lives and build success under a great inspiring coach Courtney. The film focuses on daily issues teenage players face, from studying for crucial exams to controlling the adolescent explosive temper, showing the poor sportsmen's human and sensitive side.
The story is told mostly chronologically, following the team throughout a whole season and fading into the team's unity. It enabled the directors Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin to show actual celebrations, arguments and overall emotion in its true colors, in truly moving scenes which couldn't be caught differently.
The documentary praises Bill Courtney, showing his father-figure speeches and his efforts in the education of these inner-city kids through the sports as well. Undefeated is a true drama, with captivating real-life characters, whose every win and loss you feel. Although it covers a familiar sports story, Undefeated is definitely fresh and enthralling.

Below are some helpful Internet resources and books for children and families on a variety of psychological topics, including parenting, ADHD, anxiety, depression, early childhood development, and media consumption. For your convenience, you can click on the links below to visit referenced websites, or on the photos of the books to purchase them from Amazon. If you find that behavioral or emotional concerns persist after you've implemented some of the approaches outlined in the resources below, or if you would prefer to receive expert guidance on applying evidence-based principles to your own situation, please contact Dr. Behling to schedule an appointment.
Most of the current evidence-based approaches to successful parenting are informed by behavior theory; in other words, the behaviors you choose to reinforce or attend to are those that subsequently occur more often. Although it is developmentally typical for young children to throw tantrums as they explore which aspects of daily life can be influenced by their actions and desires, even a typical amount of tantruming can be quite frustrating and exhausting for parents to handle. Likewise, testing limits and pushing boundaries is an expected part of adolescence as children seek increasing amounts of independence and privacy. In some families, a unintentional pattern emerges where a parent is either responding intensely to negative behavior, giving in due to feelings of exhaustion or hopelessness, or spending time away from the child to avoid the unpleasantness of arguing and nagging.
If you are currently struggling with or frustrated by your child or adolescent's behavior, the books below may help you develop or restore a more peaceful, respectful, and enjoyable balance between discipline and positive time together. Individual or family therapy is also an excellent way to feel supported, decrease stress, and get help navigating difficult child and adolescent behaviors, particularly given that commitment to and accountability for implementing effective parenting strategies is increased through face-to-face therapy.
Dr. Russell Barkley's Your Defiant Child, now in its second edition, is a helpful resource for parents of oppositional and defiant children ages 5-12.
Your Defiant Teen details the effective application of behavioral parenting principles to reduced efiance in adolescents and increase respectful autonomy.
Seattle psychologist and author Dr. Laura Kastner's Getting to Calm is an invaluable guide for parents of tweens and teens.
In The Launching Years, Dr. Kastner discusses how to help your adolescent successfully transition into the young adult world of increased independence and responsibility.
When inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsive behavior occurs in more than one setting (home, school, work, etc.) and cause significant distress or disruption, the person struggling with these issues may be eligible for a diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Most people are familiar with the use of medication to treat symptoms of ADHD. These medications have been well-researched and prescribed effectively for decades, with some individuals and families embracing this approach and others choosing to make some changes in the person's environment before considering medication. These changes, detailed in the books below, might include changing parenting strategies, increasing routine and organization, reducing distractions, and increasing physical exercise as a healthy way to relieve excess energy. You can also schedule a meeting with Dr. Behling to explore whether a diagnosis of ADHD is appropriate for you or your child and, if so, to begin successfully implementing strategies to reduce the impact of symptoms on daily life.
Taking Charge of ADHD helps parents understand ADHD and make changes at home and school to increase success. There is also a segment on medication for those interested in exploring this solution.
Sparky's Excellent Misadventures provides a kid-friendly explanation of ADHD and can serve to help kids struggling with inattention or hyperactivity feel more open to trying useful strategies.
Experiencing significant worries about a particular outcome (e.g., getting sick or being rejected by others), object (e.g., spiders, vomit, or blood), or situation (e.g., natural disaster or being separated from a trusted adult) can be stressful for both parent and child. Sometimes, the things we do to avoid feeling anxious can limit the activities we engage in or places we travel, making our world smaller than it needs to be. The books below are a good place to begin understanding how anxiety impacts a person's life and what can be done to help that person feel more confident and relaxed. You may also consider meeting with Dr. Behling to develop and implement a plan to reduce your or your child's anxiety.
Helping Your Anxious Child is a wonderful, evidence-based resource for parents wishing to reduce symptoms of anxiety in their child.
Growing Up Brave uses the parent-child relationship to reduce symptoms of childhood anxiety. Dr. Behling is certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a practice discussed in the book.
What to Do When You Worry Too Much is a child-friendly book for ages 6-12 designed to give kids insight into how to make worries go away for good.
Talking Back to OCD outlines an eight-step program to help children and teens reduce the impact of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Symptoms of depression include fatigue, changes in appetite and sleep, lack of interest in activities you used to enjoy, sadness, feelings of guilt and hopelessness, irritability, and possibly thoughts of suicide. Depression can take everything from you, including your life. When someone is struggling with depression, it can feel like things will never get better. The truth is that there are things you can do, including increasing your level of physical activity, spending time in social settings, and changing negative thoughts and expectations. If your symptoms of depression persist, please contact Dr. Behling to set up an appointment. If you or someone you know is actively considering suicide, please visit your nearest emergency room or call 911. If you live in King County, you may also choose to call the King County Crisis Line at 1-866-4-CRISIS.
The author of Living with a Black Dog: His Name is Depression struggled with depression in the past, and was written to give the reader comfort, hope, and support. A companion text, Living with a Black Dog, is available for family members of individuals struggling with depression.
Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking is designed to help parents and caregivers work with children to change negative thoughts and increase emotional resilience.
The adjustment to parenting can be rewarding, unpredictable, exhausting, and stressful. This adjustment is not limited to your first child, as each brings his or her own set of strengths and challenges. Healthy Steps is a helpful website containing a series of brief, 1-2 page informative handouts on a variety of issues encountered by parents of infants and toddlers, including toilet training. With regard to toilet training, if your child continues to struggle with accidents and soiling beyond five years of age, or if you have concerns about your child's development, please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with Dr. Behling to get support and discuss helpful strategies.
The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training extends beyond the basics to discussion of factors to consider and offers solutions to potential barriers.
Explaining the arrival of a new sibling to a young child can be difficult. Babies Don't Eat Pizza is one of many quality picture books designed to help parents prepare for an upcoming addition to the family.
Hands are Not for Hitting is part of the Best Behavior Series, a set of board books parents and caregivers can read with toddlers to support development of respectful, age-appropriate behaviors. Other topics in the series include toilet training, getting rid of pacifiers, and eliminating aggressive behaviors.

Christian Goldbach (n. 18 martie 1690 - d. 20 noiembrie 1764) a fost un matematician german.
A mai studiat și Dreptul, dar cea mai mare realizare a sa, pentru care a rămas în istoria matematicii, o constituie ceea ce astăzi se numește conjectura lui Goldbach.

În 1725 a plecat în Rusia, unde a devenit membru al Academiei Ruse de Științe.
În perioada 1726 - 1740 a îndeplinit funcția de secretar al Academiei.

În 1742 a devenit funcționar superior în Ministerul Afacerilor Externe, cu care ocazie s-a mutat definitiv la Moscova.

Din 1729 și până la data morții, a corespondat cu Euler.

Activitate științifică
În domeniul teoriei numerelor, a mai studiat chestiuni legate de puterile numerelor perfecte, demonstrând câteva teoreme, cum ar fi cea numită azi teorema Goldbach-Euler.
De asemenea, Goldbach a mai adus câteva contribuții în domeniul analizei matematice.

Problema care îi poartă numele (conjectura lui Goldbach) a expus-o într-o scrisoare din 1742 către Euler.
Demonstrarea acestei teoreme s-a dovedit a fi dificilă; de aceasta ocupându-se două secole mai târziu: Ivan Vinogradov, Nikolai Ciudakov, Johannes van der Corput, Theodor Estermann.

Goldbach a mai abordat problema transformării seriilor divergente în convergente și serii infinite, a stabilit metode de rezolvare a ecuațiilor diferențiale etc.

În 1950 și matematicianul român Dimitrie Pompeiu a scris ceva despre ipoteza lui Goldbach.
