Hi. I'm Jai. I'm 8 years old. This is my story. My doctor says I have an illness. I don't feel sick. But I do know that grown-ups around me are annoyed with me most of the time. I'm constantly being told, "sit still'', "stop dreaming", "pay attention". I can't seem to be able to do just that.
In class, I seem to lose track of what the teacher says. I try to listen, I really do. I start doing what she says, then I notice the insect fluttering on the window pane, I see the boy in the row ahead tapping his fingers on the desk, the office boy walking down the corridor and the sound of laughter from the next classroom. I don't realise I have left my seat till teacher tells me "Jai, return to your seat".
My parents are frequently called to school to meet my class teacher. They are unhappy with my marks. They think I'm careless and lazy because I take all evening to do my homework. I tell my mother that I try hard. I feel sad and frustrated that she doesn't understand or believe me. Some of the other children make fun of me specially when I can't answer in class. Mostly, I haven't heard the question. They don't like to play with me as I get excited and can't wait for my turn.
Things changed about 6 months back. My parents took me to a special doctor. The doctor seemed to understand that I was not being naughty or disobedient. He talked to me, looked at my exercise books and listened to my parents. He told my parents that I had an illness, ADHD. I needed medicines for treatment of ADHD to improve my focus and concentration. I also need structure and routine in my life. It was such a relief to know it was not my fault.
A lady at the doctor's clinic gave me some puzzles and games to do. I liked her; she spoke slowly and clearly. She explained things one at a time and did not mind repeating herself when I did not get her the first time. She helped us draw up a time-table - we had such fun doing that because she made time for everything I want to do. Now I have a study time, a play time, TV time, all clearly written in the big chart I helped to make. It reminds me of what I have to do and gives me enough time to prepare for it. Mother says I sit quietly for longer periods. Teacher says I pay more attention and don't disturb other kids in class. She is more patient with me too.
Understanding ADHD and Helping Me
Doctor says there are many children like me. Here's what you can do to help me and others like me.- Help me focus. Make sure I've heard you and understood what you want me to do.
- I sometimes don't realise I've left my seat. Please remind me to stop and think.
- I need structure and routine in my life.
- I need to know what comes next.
- Please give me time to adjust to any changes in my schedule.
- Please let me learn at my own pace, I get confused and make mistakes when you ask me to hurry up.
- Please give me instructions one step at a time. Make me repeat them.
- Please give me short work periods and small goals to start with.
- Please give me immediate feedback; did I do things the right way?
- Do give me praise even if I succeed only partially. Please don't wait till I'm perfect.
- Don't always find fault with me. Please praise me and reward me when I do something well.
Thank you for being patient with me.

Interior Design Styles
Industrial design style is often found in lofts or other reclaimed industrial spaces. Open spaces, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows are common in industrial spaces and defining decorative elements. Industrial spaces show their building materials as a design element, by using exposed brick walls, concrete or weathered wood floors, bare ceilings, structural beams, and metal air ducts. Because these spaces typically have so much texture in their building elements, a neutral palette is commonly used. High ceilings are often emphasized with floor-to-ceiling window panels in white cotton to let in natural light. In industrial spaces where storage is limited or exposed, utilizing bookshelves as room dividers is a common practice.

Nobel Peace Prize Statement – ICAN international – 6 October 2017
It is a great honour to have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 in recognition of our role in achieving the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. This historic agreement, adopted on 7 July with the backing of 122 nations, offers a powerful, much-needed alternative to a world in which threats of mass destruction are allowed to prevail and, indeed, are escalating.
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is a coalition of non-governmental organizations in one hundred countries. By harnessing the power of the people, we have worked to bring an end to the most destructive weapon ever created – the only weapon that poses an existential threat to all humanity.
This prize is a tribute to the tireless efforts of many millions of campaigners and concerned citizens worldwide who, ever since the dawn of the atomic age, have loudly protested nuclear weapons, insisting that they can serve no legitimate purpose and must be forever banished from the face of our earth.
It is a tribute also to the survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – the hibakusha – and victims of nuclear test explosions around the world, whose searing testimonies and unstinting advocacy were instrumental in securing this landmark agreement.
The treaty categorically outlaws the worst weapons of mass destruction and establishes a clear pathway to their total elimination. It is a response to the ever-deepening concern of the international community that any use of nuclear weapons would inflict catastrophic, widespread and long-lasting harm on people and our living planet.
We are proud to have played a major role its creation, including through advocacy and participation in diplomatic conferences, and we will work assiduously in coming years to ensure its full implementation. Any nation that seeks a more peaceful world, free from the nuclear menace, will sign and ratify this crucial accord without delay.
The belief of some governments that nuclear weapons are a legitimate and essential source of security is not only misguided, but also dangerous, for it incites proliferation and undermines disarmament. All nations should reject these weapons completely – before they are ever used again.
This is a time of great global tension, when fiery rhetoric could all too easily lead us, inexorably, to unspeakable horror. The spectre of nuclear conflict looms large once more. If ever there were a moment for nations to declare their unequivocal opposition to nuclear weapons, that moment is now.
We applaud those nations that have already signed and ratified the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and we urge all others to follow their lead. It offers a pathway forward at a time of alarming crisis. Disarmament is not a pipe dream, but an urgent humanitarian necessity.
We most humbly thank the Norwegian Nobel Committee. This award shines a needed light on the path the ban treaty provides towards a world free of nuclear weapons. Before it is too late, we must take that path.

As Salon's Irin Carmon reports, a Republican appointed district-court judge has prevented a new statute that would force the only remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi to close. (The new law was necessary because, despite the best efforts of past Mississippi legislatures, one lone clinic in Jackson has managed to heroically persevere through a maze of state restrictions.) The stay is temporary, and the issue will presumably have to be resolved by a higher appellate court, possibly ending with the Supreme Court of the United States.
Should this case make it up the appellate chain, it will provide a crucial test for Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 case that currently controls reproductive-freedom cases. Under Casey, previability abortions cannot be banned, but regulations that do not constitute an "undue burden" are permissible. The implicit premise of the compromise that upheld Roe v. Wade was that while women seeking abortions could be inconvenienced, they could not be denied their right to choose an abortion outright. In practice, however, as the case of Mississippi starkly demonstrates, the "undue burden" standard has been applied so narrowly that states can use an ever-expanding variety of arbitrary restrictions to deny many women their right to choose altogether.
This case could prove an especially important landmark because the motives behind the Mississippi statute are transparent. While state regulations of abortion are almost always intended to be part of a long-term plan to ban abortion outright by pro-life interests, state legislators often try to defend abortion regulations as means not to restrict abortion but to protect the health of women.
In the case of Mississippi, there's no pretense that these regulations are anything but attempts to make it impossible to obtain abortions in the state. The goal, according to Governor Phil Bryant, is to make Mississippi "abortion free." Should the latest set of arbitrary regulations somehow not succeed in shutting down the state's lone abortion clinic, the legislature will keep trying. The goal is to ban abortion, not to protect the health of women.
To uphold Mississippi's regulatory framework would be to effectively overrule Roe and Casey. What would happen should this case get to the Supreme Court, however, is unclear. Theoretically, there are five votes on the Supreme Court for upholding Roe v. Wade. But one of these votes, Justice Kennedy, has found only one kind of regulation (spousal notification) to be an undue burden, and he has written an opinion upholding a federal ban on partial-birth abortions that is rife with the sexist assumptions of anti-choice activists. The best-case scenario would probably be a lower appellate court decision holding the new law unconstitutional that the Court declines to review.
Should it get to the highest level, anything could happen, including the de facto overruling of Roe v. Wade.

Fitness trends come and go and most fall to the wayside for good reason.
Most programs fail to produce consistent results. It's a wonder why so many folks stray away from what is tried and true when it comes to exercise programs?
"The rule is: the basics are the basic, and you can't beat the basics." -Charles Poliquin
Despite what your goals may be, every individual can benefit from physical resistance training. Not only that, but the health benefits extend far beyond your short term fitness goals. Regardless of why you train, let's take a look at some of the reasons you should incorporate strength training into your fitness regimen.
1. Training for strength produces results.
Whatever your goals, muscle will help you get there. Some companies in the fitness industry has made a fortune around buzzwords like "tone", "lift", and "sculpt." The problem is there's no way to measure those loose terms. If you want to change your body composition there is only the ability to gain or lose muscle while simultaneously gaining or losing fat. If you are looking for the most efficient way to do make a change then strength training is your best option.
Strength training, or physical resistance training, can be defined as a type of physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. When you gain muscle you increase your bodies basal metabolism (the amount of calories you burn each day before factoring in physical activity). It's kind of like putting a bigger engine in a car. The car is capable of moving faster or pulling a heavier load (more muscle), but it also uses more fuel (fat) whether it's cruising down the freeway or idling in the driveway. Strength training helps us "tone" through this muscle gain/fat loss trade.
2. "You can't manage what you can't measure." -Peter Drucker
Training for strength provides a clear path for success. You can set training goals that are specific, measurable, and produce desired outcomes. A good coach will help you design a plan towards these goals with checkpoints along the way. Your strength training program is a road map to success with clear directions. Sets, reps, and weights lifted safely through the full range of motion are the signals that you're on track. Many people find that a more detailed plan helps them stay motivated as they experience progress.
3. Age gracefully with more muscle mass.
As we get older strength training is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Physical independence is a key factor in a great quality of life.
A comprehensive study of strength training has been proven to:
- Improve motor function
- Lower resting heart rate
- Increase stamina
- Prevent sarcopenia (age related muscle loss)
- Improve bone mineral density
- Prevent and help rehab injuries
Functional strength training will be an asset in daily life too. From picking up grandchildren or bags of groceries to climbing stairs with confidence.
4. You'll experience epic brain gains.
Did you know that lifting weights can strengthen your brain just as much as it does your body?
Dr. Yorgi Mavros from the University of Sydney has found that high‐intensity physical resistance training (PRT) results in significant improvements in cognitive function, muscle strength, and aerobic capacity in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Adults who followed a resistance training routine in addition to cognitive training performed significantly better than control groups on a series of mental tests. A couple key factors to note:
The participants exercised 2x/ week working to at least 80% of their peak strength.
The benefits lasted one year after the exercise prescription had ended.
What does that mean? According to Yorgi, "The stronger people became, the greater the benefit for their brain." Let that sink in for a minute. You actually grow your brain by training to become stronger! It makes me wonder if Einstein developed his Theory of Relativity in between heavy sets of back squats…
5. Strong moms have healthy babies.
During pregnancy, the question always arises of what does fitness look like for this stage of life? With so much on the line, it's important to consult with a doctor before beginning any fitness routine. Luckily, there is a tremendous amount to be gained by incorporating a strength training routine under normal circumstances. Resistance training can help alleviate symptoms and improve health outcomes for the mother and child. According to the Mayo Clinic, women who follow a consistent strength training routine during pregnancy can experience:
- Reduce backaches, constipation, bloating and swelling
- Boosted mood and energy levels
- Better sleep
- Prevent excess weight gain
- Maintain levels of muscle strength and endurance
- Reduced incidence of gestational diabetes
Not only that but women who train during pregnancy report enhanced body image and better psychological well-being!
We would love to help you live a healthy strong life. Schedule a Free Consult to learn more.

FLASHBACK: The Who In Concert Supporting 'Tommy'
The Who's landmark album Tommy was released on May 23, 1969. While the album wasn't technically the first "rock opera," it certainly helped popularize the term and the concept.
The band also toured extensively in promotion of the album. Thanks to Music Vault one of those shows is available for everyone to enjoy. Check out The Who's performance from their July 7, 1970 show in Lenox, Mass.

Young Man Blues (Mose Allison cover)
Rock's Greatest Live Albums: Top 40 Ranked
Billy Joel made excellent records in his early career, but nearly every song on this collection (recorded at various venues on his 1980 tour) sounds better live. The single LP was so packed he didn't even bother to include "Piano Man."
Progressive rock at its finest. This triple (!) live LP came on the heels of the only two albums recorded with the band's best lineup (Chris Squire on bass, Jon Anderson on vocals, Bill Bruford on drums, Steve Howe on guitar and Rick Wakeman on keyboards) -- 'Fragile' and 'Close To The Edge.' But Bruford quit at the beginning of the tour, so most of this album features Alan White, whose playing was much better suited for the arenas that Yes was now headlining.
The classic version of "Lola" comes from this live album, and that alone earns it a spot on this list.
Like a lot of other albums on this list, there's at least a bit of post-production sweetening here, but the final result is one of the greatest albums -- "live" or otherwise -- in '70s hard rock.
Coming off of their best album, 1981's 'Moving Pictures' was the perfect time for Rush to show off their live prowess; the heavy prog rock band somehow went from cult phenomenon to arena headliners. The album was so packed with classics that even "Limelight" (a song from 'Moving Pictures' that was an ode to playing live) didn't make the album, despite being a recent radio hit. Neil Peart's drum solo in "YYZ" is so iconic, many fans who aren't even drummers know it by heart.
For some reason, Petty never had a definitive live album, but this collection, with performances from 1978 through 2007 is an amazing collection that shows that Petty and the Heartbreakers were one of the best live bands in the '70s, '80s, '90s and the '00s.
As the '70s came to a close, punk rock bands were making the hippies from the '60s look obsolete. Neil Young was an exception and this raging, roaring live album with Crazy Horse shows why: on songs like "Hey, Hey, My, My (Into The Black)" and "Sedan Delivery," they play as furiously as the Sex Pistols. Not that they left psychedelic jams in the past: "Cortez The Killer" and "Like A Hurricane" were improvisational gems, and Young still was great at playing solo folk, as he demonstrated on "Sugar Mountain" and "I Am A Child."
If you never had the opportunity to see Lynyrd Skynyrd during Ronnie Van Zant's lifetime (and let's give props to Johnny Van Zant, who has done a great job fronting the band for decades), this is the closest that you'll get. They released this after having only three studio albums, which gave them more than enough material for a double live album. Besides showing off their southern pride on "'T' For Texas" they also provied themselves to be blues-rock equals of their idols in Cream on Robert Johnson's "Crossroads." And of course, this album has the definitive -- "What song is it you want to hear?" -- "Freebird."
Recorded at the Woodstock festival in 1969, Joplin performed ten hours later than scheduled, and partially due to that, she wasn't as transcendent as she was at her Monterey Pop Festival performance a few years earlier. But Jopin at less than full power is better than most artists on their best night, as evidenced here. Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, Ann Wilson and Axl Rose are among the singers still carrying Joplin's influence today.
Recorded in 1980 and 1981 during Ozzy's first tours as a solo artist. His two albums with his original guitarist Randy Rhoads (who tragically died in a plane crash in 1982) held up to his earlier material with Black Sabbath, and his live band (Rhoads, bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Tommy Aldridge) packed almost as much of a punch as Sabbath. Someone send this (along with 'Blizzard of Oz' and 'Diary of a Madman') to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame voters, already: Randy Rhoads needs to be inducted.
It's a rough and ragged live album, and that's appropriate: we're talking about the Runaways here. Opening with "Queens Of Noise" (a theme song of sorts), they owned iconic songs like the Velvet Underground's "Rock and Roll" and the Troggs' "Wild Thing." And their own classic, "Cherry Bomb," holds its own against those two timeless jams.
In the '80s, Queen kept cranking out pop singles, but by the end of the '70s, they were still very much a rock band and that's on full display here. While the critics didn't love the album, they didn't get Queen anyway, and for years, this was the only authorized documentation of a Queen concert.
In 1984, when this album was recorded, Maiden was graduating to arena-headlining status, and they did it without having to rely on hit singles: they were the rare band to achieve that kind of popularity without having to hear complaints of "selling out." It might have been hard to imagine them headlining such big venues with original singer Paul Di'Anno, but Bruce Dickinson, who had fronted the band for three studio albums at this point, had the voice and the presence to deliver Maiden's metal to the largest venues imaginable (and they still play to enormous crowds today, particularly overseas).
This album, recorded in 1969, came at a particularly great era for the Stones; Mick Taylor had just replaced Brian Jones a few months before, tightening up the band's live sound. This was also the last tour before they started adding extra musicians: you're just hearing Taylor, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and longtime touring pianist Ian Stewart. The classic version of "Midnight Rambler" comes from this album.
Redding was one of the greatest singers in the world in the late '60s, and on this album, he was backed by one of the greatest bands: Booker T & The MGs. Together, they were a force of nature. Highlights included "Respect" (Otis sang it before Aretha), his cover of the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and the Beatles' "Day Tripper."
This also happens to be the Yardbirds' debut album; their lead guitarist at the time was a young Eric Clapton who quickly outgrew the band but his playing here holds up to nearly anything he's done since.
There are so many Pearl Jam performances to choose from, as they've released authorized bootlegs of all of their shows for more than ten years. But this show had a special energy to it: it was the last concert ever at Philadelphia's Spectrum, it was on Halloween, it was across the highway from a New York Yankees/Philadelphia Phillies World Series game, and it was the longest show the band had ever played at that point. It featured, among other surprises, their first performance of "Bugs," and the rarely performed "Out Of My Mind" and "Sweet Lew." Not to mention a cover of "Whip It" in full Devo costumes.
Originally available as a bootleg, it was later legitimately released, and some may prefer 'Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture' from this same tour. But the Santa Monica show was recorded months earlier, when Bowie was still all-in with the 'Ziggy Stardust' persona and has a bit more intensity and less weariness. The band, led by guitarist Mick Ronson, was in top form.
Of course, AC/DC's biggest success came with singer Brian Johnson, but as a live band, they were at their best when the late Bon Scott gripped the mic. As the late Malcolm Young once said about the album, "We were young, fresh, vital and kicking ass."
This is the 1992 show where Kurt Cobain was rolled onto the stage in a wheelchair while wearing a hospital gown. He, and the band, were still having fun with their success, even as they questioned it. They were on top of the world thanks to the meteoric success of 'Nevermind,' and they played most of that album. Cobain gave a shoutout to his 12-day old daughter and led the audience in chanting, "Courtney, we love you!" The performances were furious and proved why Nirvana was the band that everyone was watching, and listening to, in '92.
Stop Making Sense' is generally regarded as one of the greatest concert films ever, but even divorced of the visuals, the live album is a classic. Talking Heads made great records, but these live versions of "Girlfriend Is Better" and "Life During Wartime" top the originals.
The line, "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" might get a rise out of a lot of audiences. But when Johnny Cash sang it for an audience of inmates at Folsom Prison, it obviously took on a new meaning; some of the faces looking back at Cash may actually have done just that, and they were paying the price. Cash sings some of his heaviest numbers, including "25 Minutes To Go" and "Dark As A Dungeon," but maintained his sense of humor in his in-between song banter, and also on "Busted."
Elton John himself has cited this as his best live recording. The album title commemorates the date that it was recorded, and on November 17, 1970, he wasn't yet a star. It's hard to imagine these days, but in 1970, Elton John was an up-and-coming artist with something to prove, and he played like his life depended on it. He hadn't yet added guitarist Davey Johnstone to his band; back then, it was just the trio of him, bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson. Legend has it that Elton cut his hand during the show, and by the time it was over, the piano keys were covered with blood. And it sounds like it.
'The Royal Albert Hall' is in quotes because (as most Dylan fans know) this concert t was actually recorded at the Manchester Free Trade Hall during Dylan's world tour in 1966, but the much-bootlegged show was often falsely attributed to the Royal Albert Hall on the illicit recordings. The show is legendary for its second set, which featured an electric rock band, much to the horror of Dylan's folkie fans. The acoustic songs are great -- Dylan was a master solo performer, even though he was losing interest -- but the electric set was Dylan as his most defiant; it's almost punk rock at points.
Sure, Cheap Trick's first three albums were great, but when you want to hear "Surrender" or "Hello There" or "Big Eyes" or "I Want You To Want Me," you're gonna reach for your 'At Budokan' LP. Like some of the other live albums on this list, it took the band from the trenches and made them stars.
When Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band hit Europe on their 'Born To Run' tour, the hype was so overwhelming that there was a certain skepticism from the audience, and even Springsteen was annoyed with his record label. But this show, recorded on November 18, 1975 launched him as a major star in Europe; he remains incredibly popular there to this day.
Like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple took their muscular blues-based compositions to different places in concert via their improvisational jams. Singer Ian Gillan really shines here, particularly on "Child In Time" (possibly his finest moment). This album is one of the blueprints for live heavy metal for decades to come.
Once upon a time, U2 were a post-punk band who wore their hearts on their sleeves; they were trying to take over the world, they hadn't yet discovered sarcasm, they still thought mullets were cool and they didn't bother with stage production of any kind. 'Under A Blood Red Sky' caught them towards the end of the era before they were huge rock stars, but were intent on stepping into the shoes of the Who and the Clash.
A great singer can sing anything; Franklin was one of the greatest (maybe *the* greatest) and so when she hit the storied rock venue the Fillmore West, she had some appropriate covers in her set: the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," Stephen Stills' "Love The One You're With" and Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Those interpretations held up to her own repertoire, which included "Respect" and "Dr. Feelgood." Bonus: Ray Charles shows up for "Spirit In The Dark."
Released at the peak of Motorhead's career, it follows their 'Overkill,' 'Bomber' and 'Ace of Spades' albums - records that had impossibly fast jams. And, crazily enough, they got even faster on 'No Sleep.' Motorhead released a lot of live albums, but this is the best of them.
The studio version of "No Woman No Cry" from 1974's 'Natty Dread' was lovely, but the live version, taken from this album, is the definitive one. How did reggae cross over from Jamaica to huge audiences in America? 'Live!' had a lot to do with it.
By 1975 when this album was recorded, former Humble Pie singer/guitarist Peter Frampton had released four solo albums, none of which made much impact. But, true to the album's title, some of the songs came alive in concert; 'Frampton Comes Alive!' topped the album charts and was the best selling album of 1976, making Frampton a huge star.
Seger tells the audience during the second concert taped for this album, "As I told everybody last night, I was reading in Rolling Stone where they said, 'Detroit audiences are the greatest rock & roll audiences in the world.' I thought to myself, 'S---! I've known that for ten years!'" That audience may well have inspired the performances here, which are now iconic. In 1975, when the album was recorded, Seger was huge in the Motor City, but soon after the release of this album, he became one of America's biggest rock stars.
"You wanted the best? You got the best! The hottest band in the world: KISS!" That quote, which opens every KISS concert to this day, has become something of a cliche in recent decades. But in 1975, it was actually true. And even though a lot of post-production tightened up the live album, it captures the excitement of KISS's live shows back when KISS weren't yet a merchandising machine and they still had something to prove.
Santana hadn't yet released their debut album, but after their performance at the 1969 Woodstock festival, they were stars. Listen to this album and you'll understand why. Even if their entire career ended here, they'd still be legendary. "Soul Sacrifice" is one of the greatest live performances ever.
Recorded at the Fillmore East in New York In March of 1971 the album was released in July of that same year, just three months before leader and guitarist Duane Allman's tragic death. 'At Fillmore East' truly marked the end of an era, and saw one of rock's greatest talents in peak form. The rest of the band were incredible as well -- particularly singer Gregg Allman. This is improvisational rock music at its finest.
While Brown wouldn't have considered himself "rock and roll," he certainly made an impact on any rock and roll frontperson with his records and his live shows. Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, Steven Tyler and Bruce Springsteen all took note of Brown's power as a live performer (and Springsteen surely noted the tight ship that Brown ran when it came to leading his band).
Yes, this is the historic 1967 concert where he blew minds, torched his guitar and became a star in the U.S. (he was already popular in the U.K.). That context is useful, but even without it, this performance shows the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the top of their game. Hendrix made some iconic songs his own ("Like A Rolling Stone," "Wild Thing" and of course, "Hey Joe") and showed that his own material could hold up to those classics.
Better late than never: it took more than two decades after Led Zeppelin's dissolution for the band to put out the definitive live document of their live prowess. Compiled from two 1972 shows, it showcases the band at the peak of their powers. Their shorter songs pack a mighty punch, but they also flex their improvisational muscles on extended versions of "Dazed And Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love." And of course, their acoustic set (with "Going To California," "That's The Way" and "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp") was gorgeous.
The Who's studio albums make up one of the greatest discographies in popular music, but none of them matched the raw power of 'Live At Leeds.' In recent years, the Who's concerts have featured Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey with five other musicians, and sometimes, a full orchestra. Back then, they made more noise with just John Entwistle and Keith Moon. These days, you can buy an extended version of 'Live At Leeds' with 30+ songs. The original tracklist included just six: three covers ("Young Man Blues," "Summertime Blues" and "Shakin' All Over") and three originals ("Substitute," "Magic Bus" and a 14-minute long "My Generation"). And while we should be grateful for every last second that was captured for the full length, it was the original six-song version that inspired most of the hard rock and heavy metal bands of the '70s (and surely alienated some of the Who's early-'60s mod fans).

First Clear, Full Color Look at Ben Affleck in Costume From 'Batman vs. Superman'
The Batman vs. Superman trailer came and went, and we still didn't get a great look at Ben Affleck in the traditional Batman costume (we'll leave that armored suit out of this). We've all seen that black and white promo shot, but what does Batfleck look like in clear, full color? Today, we have that answer.
A new promo shot from the film has leaked that shows a close up look at what Ben Affleck looks like in the new Batman suit. We'll give you one hint: sad.
We'll guess that, like the many leaked promo shots of Vision from Avengers: Age of Ultron before he was officially revealed, this is part of some kind of toy/merchandise graphic that leaked online. You'll probably see this very image on the side of a Slurpee cup in about 10 months.
In this photo you get a much better look at how the new Batman logo contrasts with the grey suit (in that black and white image, everything looked the same color). As has been previously mentioned, the costume is very reminiscent of the one in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, which seems to be serving as an inspiration for a lot of these new Justice League-era films (Jared Leto's Joker is reportedly also modeled after the version in that comic).
Take a look below at this new photo and let us know what you think. Are you starting to warm up to the idea of Ben Affleck as your new Batman?
Batman vs. Superman opens in theaters on March 26, 2016.

You can officially order a copy of Milk Boss 101: The Modern Breastfeeding Journal and Guide today. I'm also excited to offer you an exclusive 20% off discount that will last until August 1, when the book will officially launch. Use code "mbtribe" at checkout.
Before I tell you about how I came to discover the need for a modern approach to breastfeeding and serving today's mother, I want to share with you a discovery I made as a mother of two and a passionate entrepreneur.
Our society places an enormous amount of pressure on women to "bounce back" after childbirth, physically, mentally, and emotionally without the necessary springboard in which to do so.
We have come to believe that achieving success all on our own is something to be proud of, no matter how exhausted, lonely, and disconnected it leaves us feeling. We believe the lies of glamorous social media photos and captions. Internally we compare our own struggles to someone else's highlight reel. Now don't get me wrong, I love a beautiful IG feed just like the next girl, but I also realize that the most successful women that we all idolize is not perfect and experiences the same struggles we do. Struggles with body confidence, taking time for herself, staying relevant, feeling confident as a mother, staying connected to friends, and simply not losing her every-loving-mind on the daily! But what I want to point out is that women who achieve greatness, whether they are a mother or not, do so with the help of a team.
She has a team of boss babes and bros standing behind her and strengthening her foundation so that she can do all the amazing things she was created to do.
She has someone taking "candid" photos of her, a sweet friend who watches her kids on short notice, a partner who is invested in caring for their child just as much as she is, a go-to take-out restaurant programmed into her contacts list, and the list goes on. She is a whole-being with a WHOLE LOT of help!
I want you to think about all of that for just a moment and reimagine the narrative that may have previously played out in your mind as you compared yourself to that insta-famous woman.
I want to create a new rhetoric around breastfeeding and motherhood, where women are reminded that they are just as powerful and capable of achieving their dreams as those women they follow on social media and that it's all possible with kids, but we must reframe our understanding of success to include connectedness, which I believe begins with each woman building her own Tribe multi-talented champions.
About seven years ago when I first jumped into the world of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum mentoring I didn't know that it would be the catalyst to creating a book and movement focused on serving the "whole woman". I actually thought it was a part of my story to becoming an OBGYN.
Back in late 2010 I discovered an approach to supporting women as they navigated pregnancy and the postpartum period that was integrative and included one-on-one partnership between the pregnant mama and a female companion, cultural sensitivity, continuity of care with her health care provider and other allied professionals, as well as postpartum mentorship that lasted months after childbirth.
Fast forward three years to when I gave birth to my first daughter while living in Puerto Rico, I witnessed how rare yet vital this type of support was in the rest of our Western world. Though I was living in a place where family and community were central to practically everything, I realized that within the prenatal, birth, and breastfeeding world that connectivity had somehow been lost. If a woman did have prenatal education, labor companionship, and postpartum lactation support, the three were likely to be very segmented.
After that experience, I learned firsthand during my time on Guam that for women to truly overcome (but often times are able to completely avoid) the most common breastfeeding struggles like breast pain, cracked and bleeding nipples, low milk supply, incorrect pumping use, and feeling broken or incapable of producing enough milk, they each needed to receive one-on-one support from a committed lactation professional that they felt comfortable with and had built a report with prenatally. The women who expressed the most satisfaction with breastfeeding and comfort with doing it in her own way were those who had a knowledgeable person to call upon during inconvenient times and for quick answers to real-life questions here and there. These tiny nuances are what really make a difference for women when it comes to choosing between sticking with breastfeeding (how ever they do it) and completely disqualifying breastfeeding from their life.
I knew that this bit of wisdom was something that needed to be expressed and for a simple construct to be made that allowed mothers and communities throughout the West to come together on the same page and reimagine breastfeeding and the childbearing time period as a whole.
In Milk Boss 101 I hone in on the benefits of community I'd seen on the islands where I previously lived as well as the historic elements of women specifically supporting other women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I've also incorporated elements like how to choose an empowering lactation professional, lifestyle specific planning, mindful postpartum healing, and valuing your identity as both a woman and mother.
Each woman is invited to form her own Tribe and articulate for herself what this will all look like in detail. After all, she knows best what she's hoping for in terms of success with breastfeeding, motherhood, and life overall. We should simply be champions, gentle guides, and servants to her mission as she needs us.
In Milk Boss 101: The Modern Breastfeeding Journal & Guide I've created a framework that allows any mother to curate her own Breastfeeding Tribe– a select group of like-minded individuals called up to help her thrive during the 4th trimester, meet her personal breastfeeding goals, and stay connected to her soul and passion as she navigates motherhood.
Each member of her Breastfeeding Tribe will have a different role, including her lactation professional who's role is to meet her with culturally relevant breastfeeding education, stick with her through the highs and lows, as well as provide longterm support that is cognizant of her background, family, job, and personal aspirations. Other members of her Breastfeeding Tribe may be there to help her stay nourished during the initial weeks home, another may be there to scoop her up for an afternoon lunch-date while being mindful of the fact that she may need to stop and pump, another may be committed to encouraging her to get back into her yoga practice, another may be tasked with listening as she processes her birth experience. Ultimately this is a group of people who resonate with the mother and see her as a "whole woman", not simply a woman who has chosen to feed her baby breastmilk.
If there's a woman in your life who you think would find relief in reading such a book and creating her own Breastfeeding Tribe, I'd encourage you to be her catalyst to an empowered motherhood journey. A journey rooted in mindfulness and personal satisfaction determined by her alone.

Call it a conspiracy theory, coincidence or just bad luck, but any time someone is in a position to bring down Hillary Clinton by testifying they wind up dead. In fact, there's a long history of Clinton-related body counts, with scores of people dying under mysterious circumstances.
Perhaps the most notable is Vince Foster. Foster was a partner at Clinton's law firm and knew the inner workings of the Clinton Machine. Police ruled that death a suicide, though it is often noted that Foster may have been suicided.
Now, another official has found himself on the wrong end of the Clintons. That John Ashe was a former President of the United Nations General Assembly highlights the fact that no one is safe once in their sights.
And as you might have guessed, there are major inconsistencies with Ashe's death. It was not only conveniently timed because Ashe died just a few days before being set to testify against Clinton in a corruption case, but official reports indicated he died of a heart attack.
The problem, however, is that police on the scene reported Ashe died when his throat was crushed during a workout accident.
The New York Post's Page Six reported that after Ashe was found dead Wednesday, but the U.N. claimed that he had died from a heart attack. Local police officers in Dobbs Ferry, New York, later disputed that claim, saying instead that he died from a workout accident that crushed his throat.
Adding to the mysterious nature of Ashe's death was the fact that he had been slated to be in court Monday with his Chinese businessman co-defendant Ng Lap Seng, from whom he reportedly received over $1 billion in donations during his term as president of the UN General Assembly. And then there was this: During the presidency of Bill Clinton, Seng illegally funneled several hundred thousand dollars to the Democrat National Committee.
Source: The Conservative Tribune, via The Daily Sheeple
It must be coincidence, right?
If former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne is to be believed, this is business as usual for the Clintons.
BYRNE: I feel so strongly that people need to know the real Hillary Clinton and how dangerous she is in her behavior. She is not a leader. She is not a leader.
SEAN: She does not have the temperament?
BYRNE: She doesn't have the temperament. She didn't have the temperament to handle the social office when she was First Lady, she does not have the temperament.
SEAN: She's dishonest.
BYRNE: She's dishonest, she habitually lies, anybody that can separate themselves from their politics and review her behavior over the past 15 years…

Here it is, the middle of summer, and someone mentions Back to School Furniture. How can that be when the temperature tops 100 degrees? But it s true, while the kids are enjoying summer camps and parks, the school systems are planning for the next school year.
Now is the time for school administrators to be determining their needs for the next school year in relation to furniture and supplies. If you wait any longer, you may not be able to get the school furniture delivered in time to open the doors in the fall. With that in mind, here at the top 10 tips for School Furniture buying.
1. Order now, order early! This is the season and if you don t get your orders in now, your furniture may not arrive before the students. Remember, yours is not the only school needing new preschool or school furniture and planning to open within just a few short weeks. Don t wait so long your order is in the bottom of the pile.
2. Order quick ship colors & models. While you might just love that lime green classroom desk and chair set combination, do you have the time it takes for special orders? Another thought is how will you find 20 new matching sets, in five years, to that unique item when the time comes that more are needed. In the interest of simplicity and continuity, order stock colors and models. Their delivery cycle will be shorter and most likely they will be better priced.
3. Save on shipping charges by ordering items made by the same manufacturer. This seems obvious, but many school systems don t realize the saving they may have by buying multiple times from the same manufacturer. Not only will you save shipping charges, the items will coordinate with each other since they are from the same manufacturer and you may be able to get better pricing due to larger orders. Look for and do business with distributors that can offer you not only the standard school desks but also offers a wide range of products such as library furniture, activity tables, cafeteria tables, computer furniture, chalkboards, easels, room dividers and display cases. Make sure to look at the total picture when selecting a distributor. Being able to acquire many things from the same distributor saves shipping cost, time, money and headaches. The distributor is much more likely to provide superior customer service and order tracking if you place orders for multiple items.
4. Need freight special services? Inside delivery, call before delivery, liftgate? Think ahead, isn t that what we tell the students? This is also true when your furniture order is to be delivered. Make sure you and the delivery company have the same understanding of the delivery, time, place and circumstances. You do not want to be scrambling trying to get furniture onto a loading dock without the proper equipment. Not only do you risk damaging the new furniture, but also injury to your staff.
5. Inspect all cartons during delivery; don t wait until school is back in session. Don t assume anything. Take the time now, at the time of the delivery, to inspect the delivery cartons to make sure they are not damaged. If you wait until school is back in session to inspect the cartons and contents, and there is damage, you will not know when or how the damage occurred. By signing for the delivery, you are stating that the furniture was delivered properly and in good condition. If there is a problem, identify it at the delivery time and work towards appropriate resolution. The furniture company, delivery company and school will be much more satisfied with the end results.
6. Include summer delivery contact person & phone number. Not all schools are open every day all summer long. Make sure the order contains the contact information for the person responsible for receiving the furniture cartons. And by all means, let the responsible person know they will be contacted with delivery details, and that they are able to fulfill this obligation. See item 5 concerning the responsibility of the receiving person. It might be a good idea to have some staff available that can assist in the inspection of the cartons and contents so as not to delay the delivery company.
7. Call us for chair & table height suggestions. One size does not fit all when it comes to school furniture. Discuss what age group the school furniture is intended for when placing the initial order to make sure you are selecting the appropriate size of furniture. There is a wide variety of products available that are designed for specific ages and activities such as computer desks and activity tables. Mistakes will be costly in time and money if the wrong size furniture is ordered.
8. Call us about space requirements or weight capacities. Is this furniture going to be stationary or moving around a multipurpose room? The intended use may impact the type, size and weight of furniture you should be considering for purchase. Measure twice, order once. It will save you time, money and frustration.
9. Spend new budget money now. Don t wait till the end of your fiscal year and then try to get something delivered and invoiced in time to meet your deadline. Think about what your needs are in relation to your budget money and submit your order early in the budget cycle. You are better assured of getting the furniture you want and need if ordered early.
10. Order age appropriate chairs and desks to insure student s comfort. If a student is uncomfortable in their chair or desk, it will have a negative impact on their concentration and school performance. See item 7, and make sure the size of the furniture grows with the students. Feet not being able to touch the floor or knees hitting the underside of the desk make for unhappy uncomfortable students and poor attention.
Use these tips to help your school furniture vendor delight you with a positive experience for all involved. A little forethought goes a long way in the preparation for a successful school opening for the upcoming year.

Mom Charged with giving Kids Heroin to help them Sleep
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) -- A Washington state mother is charged with giving her three small children heroin after a boy told investigators his mother used a needle to inject him and his sisters with "feel good medicine" to help them sleep.
State Child Protective Services investigators became involved after receiving a report of heroin use at the Spanaway home 24-year-old Ashlee Hutt shared with the children's father, Mac Leroy McIver. The children, ages 6, 4 and 2, were removed from the home last year.
The Pierce County Prosecutor's Office says Hutt was charged Monday with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance to a child, criminal mistreatment and child assault. McIver was charged with the same crimes in September.
Online court records show both Hutt and McIver remain in custody. Their lawyers didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

I struggle to pick up rep points even when answering questions and giving good demos of code via a pastebin - sometimes spending 15 mins+. Then, along comes a noob question, for instance What does $ mean in jquery and before you know it the simple answer has got 26 upvotes, never mind the 11 for asking.
Can we do anything about this? Maybe give the question a complexity rating which goes towards the possible amount of points that can be earned? Probably contentious I know but its just an idea.

Which providers offer 5G in Ysgeibion
All of the major network providers are currently working hard to bring 5G access across the whole of the UK. Some are of course further ahead than others. But you can expect to get good 5G signal in many of the UKs major cities and towns now, with plans to roll this out very soon across the rest of the UK. To check if it's available in Ysgeibion just use our 5g checker above. Vodafone, EE, O2 and Three are the major players in bringing a 5G network to the UK and each are very much in the race to deliver this network to every town and city in the UK and getting there first will mean a huge advantage to them, so it goes without saying we're going to be seeing 5G everywhere as soon as physically possible.
What exactly is 5G?
As you know most of us using smartphones use 4G networks. 5G is essentially the next generation of this wireless network, it's all about improving speed. 5G is an absolutely huge improvement even to the 4G network. In fact, probably significantly faster than your home broadband. We will cover that in a second.
5G uses a different spectrum of waves which allow the speed to improve significantly, but also the capacity will be hugely improved too, so you won't suffer from those times where we used to be unable to send texts because the network was so busy.
These waves actually travel a much shorter distance than 4G waves, so the traditional mobile phone mast just isn't a viable option for 5G because none of us would get good signal and speed at those sort of distances. So 5G works by having very different masts, much smaller but also many more in order to provide a stronger signal and benefit from the incredible speeds of 5G.
How fast is 5G?
This obviously depends hugely on a number of factors such as distance from the mast, weather conditions, the provider and the contract you're on. But, expect MASSIVE improvements on your current download speeds. As a guide, my current 4G vodafone contract on my iPhone 11 Pro gives an impressive 58 Mb/s download speed. Now that's actually faster than my home broadband which gives 55 Mb/s…now here's the amazing part…5G will offer you an average of 150-200 Mb/s, 3 to 4 times faster than my 4G or home broadband. But even better is that those figures are just an average, you could receive as much as 1000 Mb/s.
How does 5G compare to 4G?
It's really down to speed here which we covered above. You'll notice your everyday activities are significantly quicker than you're used to. For example watching YouTube videos will be instant, no buffering. Downloading apps will be insanely fast, as will downloading music and films.
Who will need 5G?
5G is likely to appeal to most people, business and personal users. It's going to offer new possibilities in terms of what we can do with a smartphone and in the future will probably replace the need to have home broadband. Anyone currently making regular use of a smartphone is going to see the benefits of a 5G contract. However, that does come with the caveat that you need to make sure 5G signal is strong in your area, if it's not you're simply not going to get the benefits of 5G.
How much are 5G mobile contracts?
This is again going to vary on the type of contract you go for, and some providers aren't charging extra for their 5G plans and are, for example, including 5G access in their unlimited data plans. But to give an example of what you can expect to pay, at the time of writing this April 2020, EE are offering:
5G Unlimited Data with Swappable Benefits for £39 (was £44) which compares to their 4G Unlimited Data with Swappable Benefits at £39.
So you can see there's not going to be significant cost increases for using the 5G network, which is really great news for us as consumers.
