Thankyou for your website, the first real information out there that helps and makes me feel like less of a freak. I'm beyond the end of my tether after about four year of speech/stuttering/mute difficulties, hand issues where my hands do a painful 'claw thing', full body convulsions where i close up like a flower, dizzy spells, lots of falls, movement issues with weak legs/dragging feet/usless legs to the point of now having to drag myself around with totally unresponsive legs at times and using crutches for any moving now. I worked hard to go through university to become a teacher and planned a life of supporting my family only to become a burden on my loved ones with no real worth . Now my husband (happily I might add, he and my girls are great too) supports us all financially. As well as physically and doing most of the home chores, where as before we shared all chores etc equally. My girls help me alot where i see my place as to help them. I have felt so usless and alone and have become so sick of being passed along the medical roundabout to once again be treated as if im making it up. Thank goodness for the rare few who try to help like the two counsellors I have had Lisa and Angela, as well as a hypnotherapist Carol. I have a question please. When diagnosed i was told, and the only information I found ,said Conversion Disorder was short term, so I have felt like a failure when my symptoms have not only stayed but grown worse. Has anyone recovered. Most things I have read seem to be people accepting their conditions and living with it. Im starting to think I should do the same but dont want to give up on being normal again either. Do people recover? Has anyone out there recovered?
Editor: People certainly do recover from these illnesses. It is hard work and not everyone can recover. Its important not to feel guilty if it proves too difficult. Read the stories section for examples of people whose symptoms have improved. I personally find that when people get better they often dont want to think about it or write their story for the website - please let me know if you want to post your story on the 'Stories' section

Hello there. After going through a very lonely journey of a diagnosis of Functional Neurological disorder, i often look at your page for updates and infomation. I have had the unfortunate experience of ignorant consultants and they seem very unknowlegeable of this disorder. I have a few questions which i cannot get answers from any other resources so i really hope you can help. what is the diagnostic criteria for functional neurological disorder? Why does the medical profession know very little about it? Is this a genuine disorder or an umbrella term? And most importantly, is this a mental health illness or a neurologicl disorder? i think this website is good but does contra-indicate itself with the last question i have just asked. I do not have seizures, my symptoms have been consistent since i had influenza and my spine has a large thoratic curve due to muscle spasms. I have large masses on the back of my neck which has baffled my neurologist as nothing showed up on the MRIs. It has baffled him so much, he took the scans to a confrence for other neurologists to look at where no explanation was found. I am confident i do not have a disease such as multiple sclerosis or anything like that, but i really need answers for my above questions as it is impossible to get them from any resources, believe me, ive tried. If i cannot get answers here, i would appreciate it if you got back to me with somewhere i could please get some straight answers to my above questions. Thank you for your time
Editor: I have tried to answer these questions on the page 'In the mind?'. .

I was involved in a car crash nearly four years ago. Since then I have been suffering from spasms. These spasms can last anything from a minute to half an hour. They sometimes just start for no reason. I can be lying in bed reading, watching television or washing dishes and I will just go into spasm. I wake my husband up during the night having a spasm sometimes without me even being aware. They mainly come on when I am touched on my neck or back - hence the reason why I was unable to have physiotherapy and had to stop having acupuncture. My husband has to be careful when he gives me a hug and even when I am lying in bed and he kisses me on the head or cheek a spasm can be triggered. I am unable to sit for any length of time because I start having pain and buring sensation and pins and needles in my left arm then restricted movement. If I continue sitting I get a funny sensation up my thoracic area and a spasm comes on. I am able to drive short distances because I have had the spasms so long now that my body knows when one is about to start. At the beginning I did not know and would have no warning so had to hand my driving licence back to the DVLA. I have had nearly every test under the sun but they all come back as negative. I have seen 5 different consultants at different hospitals both on the NHS and privately. I have been treated by consultants like I am something on the bottom of their shoe and have not been given the time of day. I am at a loss as to where to go from here. No one can help me. However it does help to look through this website and realise that I am not making it up and there is something wrong. I was initally off work for nine months and this time round have been off work three months. My spmtoms are not improving and I have been put on so much medication that its a wonder I do not rattle !! Ive been on Diazepam, Nortriptyline, Amytriptilyne, Tizanidine (which may be of some help), Tramadol, Pregablin, Diclofenac - and these are the ones I am able to recall straight away. Like other people I have been told it is down to anxiety but I know that this is not the case. My father died in 1999 in a car crash and I even had one consultant who said that the reasons I was getting the symptoms is because my dad died in a car crash !! I didnt dare tell him my parents were divorced incase he said it was because of this or that my rabbit died when I was 10 incase he said it was related to that. He obviously could not be bothered and came up with the first thing he thought of. I am currently trying to arrange a private consultation with a Neuro-Psychologist at the Spires Hospital in Birmingham who has been recommended and specialises in working with people who have been in RTA. I really hope that he can offer some assistance because I do not know how much longer my employers will allow me to keep my job with all my absences from work. Fingers crossed that this bloke in Birmingham can assist as I am seriously running low on options. If anyone has any recommendations or advice please respond or even if anyone knows of any support groups where other people with similar issues can talk to each other. If there isnt one could we try setting one up ourselves ?? Good luck to you all and I really hope that you get the support you require. Just reading this website makes me realise I am not the only person in the world experiencing these symptoms (Like some of the Drs I have seen try to make me believe) which does help.
Editor: There is now a facebook group you can join at
I am not part of this group but I hope its helpful

i have been suffering these types of episodes for nearly 8 months now. My GP has been treating them with propanolol which i think is at the neurologist request @my local hospital as he thought the episodes were 'triggered' by anxiety. All other tests such as an MRI were normal so there is no sign of epilepsy. On reading the information provided on your website i think alot if not most of it co-incides with my experiences. Although i noticed there is no mention of 'tiggers' or the fact anxiety having an impact. i was wondering if this may be a factor or if i may have been wrongly digagnosed as the medication does show signs of improvement. Also i would like to know if there is anything else i could be doing to prevent the episodes as at one point the were very regular and had a huge impact on both my working and social life. thankyou for your time. kind regards
Editor: Anxiety is often very important in dissociative (non-epileptic) attacks. Some people notice a clear relationship between feeling anxious and having attacks. More commonly people do NOT notice such a clear relationship but do find that they are generally anxious between attacks, particularly about when the next attack is going to be and the consequences of the attack. Some people with dissociative (non-epileptic) attacks do not feel anxious at all at any time. I hope the pages on treatment of attacks (1 and 2) are of some help.
Shirley 4th January 2012
When my neurologist finally gave my illness a name I felt like kissing him! After multiple scans including a dat scan, mri scans and a cat scan all of which came back negative I began to think other people must be thinking I was making my multiple range of symptoms up. I knew I wasn't making it up. I am almost unable to walk due to a dragging leg and pain, trembling problems, not to mention dizziness and concentration and memory problems too. I really thought the neurologist had got it very wrong and I had some awful progressive disease. After reading this website I now know it can be reverseable so I am going to do whatever the doctors suggest might help. As I have been unable to work for nearly 2 years now I now feel more positive than I have for a long time. Thank you for taking the time to create this amazing website
Brittany 5th May 2012
I have been recently diagnosed with a functional movement disorder after having problems with walking and coordination for 10 months. I just wanted to thank you for the information you have provided on this website. It has really helped me understand the disorder and most importantly that I'm not making it up. It has been a long battle for me but I am happy that I now have an answer and can focus on re training my brain to help me walk with a normal gait. Thank you,Brittany
Rebecca 4th May 2012
I was diagnosed with functional gait disorder after 6 months of neurological investigations. No real explanation of the diagnosis was given either by GP or by neurological consultant so I am very pleased to find this website that does explain the diagnosis very clearly. However, I think doctors in the future will look back on this and stick it in the room marked 'medical cul de sacs' along with wandering wombs and unbalanced humours. It seems to me that doctors cannot accept that just because they can't find find an organic cause it does not mean there isn't one, despite the obvious fact that medical disorders have been misunderstood and inappropriately treated since the year dot. 'Modern' medicine has always been around, and doctors have always thought they were offering cutting-edge treatments - until the day when the real cause was discovered, usually by a talented doctor daring to think 'outside the box'. For example Dr John Snow and the London typhoid epidemic, or Dr Semmelwies and puerperal fever. Neurologists don't know everything about how the brain works but you'd never know this from talking to one. I'd much rather have a doctor say "You have something wrong with you but I don't know what it is" but pigs will fly before any doctor is prepared to say that to a patient. I have been patronised and insulted by medical staff at all levels. I have problems with benefits, don't know what to say to friends and family, have now lost my job and am at the mercy of constantly fluctuating symptoms Exercise makes me more ill. CBT is in my view little more than a very profitable industry with almost no good evidence to support it, but it is handy for doctors when they are stuck with a patient they can't diagnose or treat sucessfully. I do not need a psyciatrist. I need a doctor to actually take note of my other symptoms. Presumably they are not on the list of approved symptoms as I might as well be talking to a wall. Maybe there is a doctor out there who could help me, possibly not, but going down the path of functional disorder is, I feel quite sure, not going to offer me anything.
Jools 30th April 2012
I found this site amazing as it described exactly how I feel and the way that others react to my condition. This site descibes me exactly. I would be interested in speaking to others with the same condition if that is possible. I am doing a degree in Psychology and criminology and would like to bring awareness of the condition.
Sarah Louise 18th April
I am very pleased to have found this incredibly helpful website. I have been suffering from an anxiety disorder for most of my life and about five years ago I started to suffer from physical symptoms that have made it very difficult to function normally. These include weakness, collapses, (scary!) memory problems and dissociation. It is an extremely frustrating problem to have as I am very driven and I really want to be up and about and moving all the time, but I find that sometimes the fatigue and dizziness can be so crushing I am unable to work. I am delighted to see it explained on this website that these symptoms may be reversible. I desperately want my life back and particularly want relief from chronic depersonalisation that has gone on for years - it's as if I wasn't there for most of my life, an incredibly demotivating feeling as it takes out the reward of doing anything much at all if you don't' feel you're actually there to experience it. I have had trouble getting treatment for my problems. Psychlogists have refused to treat what they felt were neurological symptoms and neurologists have cleared me of any physical problem leaving me with only GPs and the medications they prescribe. They are trying to help, but the medications have never really done anything for me. I think I would be best off with CBT but I've been waiting nearly two years for an appointment for that. I had begun to feel rather hopeless about the whole thing and ready to throw in the towel and stop pushing myself, but this website has really motivated me to try again to catch the doctors' attention and get some help. I feel very optimistic now that I can return to health. Thank you so much for creating this resource.
John 17th April
I attended the Neurology dept today and the Doctor was great, he gave me this web page as a reference and 2 years of worry that i had some weird and wonderful health problems have been answered with an hour on the site, Pretty much all my symtoms are mentioned and with some major traumatic experiences happening in my life starting approx 2.5 years ago this all makes sense now, i wish i had known about this site at the beginning. Brilliant & thanks to the author
Lorraine 17th April
Hi, many thanks for this website as it is providing some help, I have recently been told I have neurological functional weakness. I had caught a nasty cold and blew my nose, this caused me to become really dizzy, light headed and almost faint, by the evening my face felt numb and droopy, the next day I couln't feel anything down my left side of my body, I was sent to the hospital for tests and a CT scan. I was initially told by the consultant that my scan was fine and there was nothing wrong, what I had was functional weakmess, given a leaflet and told the soon I think there is nothing wrong the sooner I will recover, he then returned and said that the radiologist had seen an abnormality (possible Pons Infarction) I was sent home with and told to take asprin, and an appointment would be made for and MRI, I had the MRI 12 days ago. (the consultant phoned today to say that he had seen my MRI and it is fine (I'm not sure if I believe him after the CT scan), anyway he has said that I have neurological Functional Weakness, he doesn't know how it happened or if I will improve, he asked if I havd seen my GP or had Physio (which I haven't as I hadn't been given a diagnosis until now, I have been home for almost a month not knowing what was wrong) My symptoms are that I still have numbness in the left side of my face arm and leg, my left eye struggles to focus and I can't tollerate light too well, I have very little grip and strenght in my left arm and hand and although I can walk well I find it difficult going up steps. when I have done a bit too much one day (like your sight suggests) I do struggle the next, I also have problems with stuttering and remebering words.I do find my present state really frustrating but I really want to be back to my old self, Many people including my consultant have said I am too young to have a stroke (i'm 40) and I have also had a number of people tell me that this is a virus or stress (I am a full time student in my final term, and have a young family) and maybe they are all right
I still do feel that my functional weaknes was brought on by blowing my nose. I just wish I new when I would get back to normal and be able to drive and do all the things I did before.And how I can prevent this from happening again.I has been really interesting reading everyones comments and the site is helpful,Good luck to everyone for a good recoveryLx

Rich 4th March 2012
Hi i was given this website back in August when i was diagnosed with Functional Disorder after a 2nd opinion, after having numerous problems with non epileptic seizures/shaking attacks & balance problems and vertigo, this all started back in January 2011, had MRI scan which was fine, kept having these fit/shaking type attacks before i got diagnosed and the Neurologist consultant in A&E at the time turn round and said "its all in your head theres nothing wrong with you" which i wasn't very happy with until i had the second opinion where i was diagnosed in 10 minutes after months of this going on, i read the website once i got back and it gave me understanding of what i was going through and reasuured me even more that i was not faking it or its in my head so im very grateful to this website for that!!I'm currently waiting for an appointment to see a Neuropsychologist to have my brain re-trained been waiting 3 months now after being sent to a standard psychologist who didnt know what brain retraining was after stating that to the Psychariatrist & Psychologist in an assessment meeting that brain retraining was what i needed, i felt let down by this and even being told by the Psychologist in the very first meeting " i don't know why your really here" then tried to blame my childhood and parents for the way i am now with my disorder, when it's due to Truama and was told this!I realy think that this should be addressed to all Psychologist & Psycharitrist departments so this does not happen to anyone else, i know the NHS isn't at best at the moment with the cut backs but im sure they would all benefit from a read from this website as it would give them some understanding into peoples symptoms etc.I really hope i get an appointment soon because it does really get you down, i have lost my job through this and im restricted to what i can do but thank you for giving the information you have given on this site, i look forward to seeing more in the future.

Firefox's keyword bookmarking is one of our favorite browser features, but giving bookmarks keywords is kind of a long process. With a few changes to a system file, however, you can give your bookmarks a keyword right from the address bar.
Not only do Firefox's keywords let you quickly access bookmarks and search any site, but they let you perform nearly any task right from your browser's address bar. Chrome's custom search engines are easy to edit, but in Firefox, you have to first create a bookmark, then open up the bookmark manager and edit that bookmark. Over at Guiding Tech, however, they've found that adding a few lines to your userChrome.css file will let you add keywords to bookmarks right from the address bar.
Head into your Firefox installation's profile folder and edit the userChrome.css file. If you have a file called userChrome-example.css, rename it to userChrome.css. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
#editBMPanel_locationRow,#editBMPanel_keywordRow{visibility: visible !important;-moz-box-align: center !important;}#editBMPanel_tagsSelector[collapsed="true"]{display: none !important;}
Now, when you add a bookmark to firefox by clicking the star icon, you'll have an option to give that bookmark a keyword right then and there. It'll save you time rummaging around your bookmark manager in the future!

Tamron announced a full frame 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with built-in ultrasonic motor and image stabilization. Price and availability were not revealed.
Tamron develops full-size, high-speed standard zoom with built-in image stabilization – SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007)
February 6th, 2012, Saitama, Japan - Tamron Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of optical equipment, announced the development of the SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007), a full-size high-speed standard zoom lens equipped with VC ( Vibration Compensation) image stabilization and USD ( Ultrasonic Silent Drive), with resolution at the top of its class.
The price and availability of the SP 24-70mm will be announced at a later date.
Product Features
- A full-size, high-speed standard zoom with built-in VC ( Vibration Compensation). Even when shooting in low-light conditions with a slow shutter speed to render sharpness, Tamron's acclaimed VC allows for stable handheld camera work, to more fully enjoy the benefits of this high-speed zoom lens.
- Uses special high-grade glass in the three LD elements, three glass molded aspherical lenses, one hybrid aspherical lens and two XR (Extra Refractive Index) glasses, delivering top-of-the-class quality images suited to this high-grade lens. Using a rounded diaphragm, the lens achieves gorgeous blur effects. This rounded diaphragm retains a nearly circular shape even when taken two stops down from its fully open state.
- Features Tamron proprietary USD ( Ultrasonic Silent Drive) to power a speedy AF drive together with a continuous manual mechanism.
- This high-speed standard zoom lens has a wide-end focal length of 24mm that expands the photographic area.
- The lens adopts the new technology including the latest optical design, VC ( Vibration Compensation) image stabilization and USD ( Ultrasonic Silent Drive), all in a lighter and more compact package.
- Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent water from penetrating the lens.
Model: A007
Focal length: 24-70mm
Maximum aperture: F/2.8
Angle of view (diagonal): 84°04' -34°21' (for full frame 35mm format cameras)
60°20' -22°33' (for APS-C format cameras)
Lens construction: 17 elements in 12 groups
Minimum focus distance: 0.38m (15.0 in)
Maximum magnification ratio: 1:5 (at f=70mm: MFD 0.38m)
Filter size: φ82mm
Length: 108.5mm*
Entire Length: 116.9mm*
Diameter: φ88.2mm
Weight: 825g*
No. of diaphragm blades: 9 (rounded diaphragm)
Minimum aperture: F/22

Compatible mounts: Canon, Nikon, Sony
* Length, entire length and weight values given are for the Nikon mount.
* Entire length is the distance between the tip of the lens and the tip of the protrusion.
* The Sony mount does not include VC, because the body of Sony digital SLR cameras includes image stabilization functionality. The product name for Sony cameras is "SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di USD" without the VC designation.
VC ( Vibration Compensation)
VC ( Vibration Compensation) is Tamron's proprietary image stabilization system. Tamron's VC is a three-coil system, whereby three driving coils activate the shake-compensating VC lens group electromagnetically via three steel balls. The VC lens elements are held in place only by contact with the steel balls, achieving smooth movement with little friction. This provides a stable viewfinder image with excellent tracking performance. And as the VC lens may be moved in parallel using only the motorized control, the mechanical structure has been simplified, enabling the creation of a more compact lens.
New VC system (moving coil method)
Tamron's original VC image stabilization mechanism utilized a moving magnet system whereby a heavy magnet was positioned near the moving VC lens element. In the new VC unit the positions of the magnet and the coil are reversed, because of this the VC optical lens element is attached to the coil. The new VC mechanism employs a moving coil mechanism with a lightweight coil, and the lighter coil reduces the load on the drive system. Thus, the lighter, more compact new VC unit contributes to the lens's overall light weight and compact size.
Because the 24-70 mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is a high-speed zoom lens with maximum aperture of F/2.8, its VC system must drive a lens that is larger and heavier than other zooms. Therefore, the shape, size and layout of the drive coils are all designed to obtain sufficient thrust. The result is a full-size, high-speed zoom that provides the same high level of compensation effect.
About the ultrasonic motor
In the ultrasonic motor, a piezoelectric element arranged in a ring formation generates ultrasonic vibrations in a metallic ring stator, and the vibration energy is used to rotate a metallic ring rotor that is attached to the stator. The rotation energy is in turn transferred from the metallic ring rotor to operate the focus lens.

There are over 800 licensed midwives in the State of New York — that's more than any other state in the country. And about 10 percent of those midwives can't practice because they don't have a written practice agreement (WPA) with an obstetrician. When St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan closed recently, seven of New York City's 13 homebirth midwives lost their WPA's and therefore their "permission" to practice. They are currently seeking new WPA, but many obstetricians aren't willing to sign them.
Right now there is a bill called the Midwifery Modernization Act awaiting decision in Albany. The bill would remove the WPA requirement for New York midwives (though still provide that practicing midwives have a relationship with an obstetrician in case of emergency). Though it flew through the Assembly and Senate committees and seemed to be on the fast track to a legislative "yes," last week the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued a memorandum in contest. An article in the New York Times reports that the memo "challenged the safety of midwife-attended births and suggested that the bill was a ploy to allow midwives to expand their turf and directly compete with doctors. 'While this legislation does not intend to extend a midwife's scope of practice, it has the ability to pave the way for midwives to open their own independent birthing centers,' it said." Say what? Really? And what's so wrong with that? While New York State does not have any independent birth centers, 33 other states do — that's over 60 percent of the country. But this isn't just about birth centers — it's about the fact that midwives are essentially forced to obtain permission from their self-proclaimed competitors to work. Can you imagine if — despite having earned all necessary degrees, certifications, and with requisite experience — you still had to find someone else who does what you do and get them to sign a waiver so that you could go to work?
Statistically, homebirths are as safe (if not safer) than hospital births, though they now only account for around one percent of all births in the US. With C-section and induction rates racing to staggering heights as more and more hospitals fall prey to the pressures of insurance and pharmaceutical companies, there has been a revival in the homebirth movement, one which will be swiftly squashed with misinformation like that doled out by the ACOG. Though many obstetric practices have incorporated midwives, and hospitals (like Rhinebeck's Northern Dutchess) have distinguished their labor and delivery units as birth centers with progressive policies and more woman-centered care, the attitude towards homebirths, independent birth centers, midwives, and natural childbirth — as exhibited by the ACOG — is unfair and undeserved.
Passing of the Midwife Modernization Act would certainly change maternal (and infant) care here in New York, and would act as a huge show of faith in the efficacy of the midwifery model, which has just gotten a bad rap from big business. And big business has no place in childbirth, if you ask me.
I'll step off my soapbox now…

And now it's time for Faith Matters. That's the part of the program where we talk about matters of faith and spirituality. You probably know that today at sundown begins the holiest time of the year in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. That's a time when observant Jews fast and seek forgiveness from those they've wronged over the past year. Now there are a variety of ways that you seek to atone, but the members Shema Koleinu synagogue of Miramar, Florida are putting their own spin on this tradition. Congregants are invited to use social media like Twitter and Facebook. Here to tell us more about it is Cantor Debbi Ballard. She is the founder of Shema Koleinu synagogue and she's with us now. Welcome. Thank you so much for joining us.
CANTOR DEBBI BALLARD: Thank you, thank you for having me.
MARTIN: What gave you the idea to do this?
BALLARD: Well, I am a technology nut. I love all things social media. So with the real rise of Instagram and hashtags and now being able to use hashtags on Facebook, I created a hashtag for Shema Koleinu's High Holy Day services this year and I just really thought that maybe there was a way to make social media an even more profound integration into our High Holy Day services. So I knew that my congregation is mostly young children and their parents. So I had to do something that really was going to be attractive to the young kids. So what young kid doesn't want to go to synagogue and have you tell them that they can take their cell phone out and use it?
MARTIN: That's true, a lot of adults too. You can certainly see, though, where for some people this would really push their buttons. Number one, the idea that some people feel that part of fasting is fasting and abstaining from technology and social media. Some people feel that should be part of the experience is abstaining from those things of the world. So I just wanted ask first, how do you address that?
BALLARD: Michel, we can use technology in a lot of different ways. We can use it to take our minds off of things and to just kind of numb out. Or we can use it to have fun and for entertainment and to pass the time. So I'm not saying use technology all day long. I'm saying let's use the technology and have it enhance our atonement today by tweeting or texting our sins away, and looking at those sins on a big movie screen. And then letting them roll past us so that we can let them go, so that we can live a more powerful life this year. I think that's what Yom Kippur and atonement is about.
MARTIN: Help me see it. Help me visualize what's going to happen. And I do want to emphasize for other people who are observant, who may be listening to our conversation - we are having our conversation in advance of Yom Kippur. So we're not talking about this right in the middle of the day.
BALLARD: Exactly.
MARTIN: So what do you envision is going to happen?
BALLARD: We have our services at the beautiful Miramar Cultural Center. They have a flyaway movie screen. Four times throughout the service, the movie screen is going to fly down, and my community has already been given four questions in advance that they could ponder. So for instance the first question is going to be, what limiting behavior or belief do you need to let go of this year in order to live a more powerful life? And so they'll have about four minutes to text their answers. They'll have full instructions as to what number they need to text to, and they will get to text their answers to our text-to-screen platform. And their answers will roll through the screen.
And there are three other times throughout the service that they will be asked to answer the other questions. And the other questions are, what does more powerful look like to you? Does that mean that you might have more time, more friendship, more love and just more happiness? And then we'll ask them, what are you sorry for and who should you apologize to? Because when you really can acknowledge, you know, I need to say I'm sorry to my sister 'cause I hurt her feelings. When you acknowledge it - when you put it out there, when you see it on a screen, it makes it more real. It makes it more doable, that you can atone.
MARTIN: Well, the other question I think a lot of people would have is because, you know, these days parents are all telling their children, you know, what you put out on social media stays there forever and be careful about what you say because it'll follow you forever. How are you going to ensure confidentiality - that people are actually able to speak freely to the people to whom they really want to speak. I mean, I think that's one of the other concerns that some people have about this is that people really should talk face-to-face because that's the only way they can really say what they need to say.
BALLARD: Well, I do agree with that. I am not saying that just saying that you should say you're sorry to your sister is your full salvation. I am just saying that it's the first step. And as far as that identity goes, we chose a platform that would - that guaranteed 100 percent anonymity.
MARTIN: Can I ask you a question that may be a stupid question? I think many people believe and understand that Judaism requires, particularly on the High Holy Days, a renunciation of the use of such devices as phones or even turning on the lights. Is that not part of your tradition?
BALLARD: Honestly, Michel, it's not part of my tradition. To me being Jewish is many things. It's ritual, it's commandment. The community that I serve is an unaffiliated community. And it's hard to define what makes you Jewish. Is it that you don't eat or you don't cook or shop or turn a light on on Shabbat? Or is it that you treat others with the golden rule? There's a lot of rituals and commandments that didn't make it to the year 2013. So the community I serve that they're concerned with - they're concerned with just being good people.
MARTIN: Well, let us know how it turns out. I don't know what the right words are.
BALLARD: I definitely will do that.
MARTIN: And what is the proper way that I should greet you on this important day?
BALLARD: L'Shana Tova.
MARTIN: L'Shana Tova. Cantor Debbi Ballard is founder of Shema Koleinu synagogue. We caught up with her in her home office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Our very best wishes for a meaningful holiday. Thank you so much for speaking with us.
BALLARD: Thank you so much, Michel. Have a great day. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Welcome to the next challenge from The Paper Girls! It's Kristy here, bringing you our Recipe Challenge. When thinking about the recipe, I wanted to give you something that works well for all kinds of projects - papers, cards, even mixed media! So here you go! Your projects should feature at LEAST 4 patterns papers, 3 wooden elements, 2 colored inks, and 1 stamp. Your stamp can be decorative, a date stamp or something that compliment your work! We can't wait to see what you make with our recipe! You have until June 3rd to "whip" something up!
We are lucky to have a guest designer today, Neva Cole!
Hello, I live in Central
Oregon on a mini-farm full of fun critters with my loving husband, two sons,
and college-aged daughter in the summer. We raise German Shepherds and
currently have four that call us their humans. I've been crafting my
entire life and settled in on paper crafting about 24 years ago. I
stamp and create cards, scrapbook, and make home décor items. I
enjoy playing with ink, stamps, paper, dies, embossing folders, and mixed
media. I am excited to be Guest Designing with Paper Girls Challenge
Blog, thank you for having me!
Please join me and follow me on the
platforms listed below!
What a fun challenge to use 4 patterned papers, 3 wooden
elements, 2 inks and 1 stamp! I started
by looking at the wooden elements I had in my stash and came up with these fun Little
Yellow Bicycle Travel wood shapes. I
recently acquired Die Cuts With a View Adventurer paper collection with those
choices in mind I decided to create a two page layout of our quick trip through
Yellowstone. We made a side trip into
Yellowstone and hit the major sites in just 6 or 7 hours! The papers picked up the reds and oranges
nicely and complemented the other colors of nature nicely. I had a great amount to say in my journaling,
so the computer was the best way to accomplish that task. The edges of the papers are inked with
Memento Luxe Morocco ink. The "1-stamp"
is the title, and is actually Junkitz Sketchy alphabet along with Fiskars When
In Roam set. These images are also
stamped with Memento Luxe Morocco ink.
The internal parts of the letters were colored in with a second ink in
Peanut Brittle from a Memento Dual Tip Marker.
It was difficult to narrow done just a few photos, but I think I
captured that quick Road Trip through Yellowstone nicely!
For this project, I used 4 different paper from my scrap collection. I used black ink to stamp "MOM" and yellow ink to color my color resist paper, as well and to edge the white base paper. I did add one "extra" wooden element to this card for my mom.
All my 4 papers are from the Heidi Swapp September Skies pad, which just happened
to match my photo. I added some wooden elements from Studio Calico and Elle's Studio,
my 2 colored inks changed the colour of my white thickers (Prima & Colorbox) and the stamp
(on the title heart) is a roller from Amy Tangerine.
I chose four papers from the Studious Collection by Authentique, I used a couple stamps, red and light blue inks, and wooden stars and a pencil for embellishments.
And now...Congratulations to the winner of Challenge #127: 3. Melissa Hill

Dodge Says Shiloh Is Anything But Cute
Beyond "far forward right hand page," most media people don't give a crap where their print ads appear in a magazine. Apparently, Chrysler's Mark Spencer does and he jumped, when called by People magazine, at the opportunity to place an ad next to the article about Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie's baby Shiloh. While the placement itself is a great one, the headline of the Dodge Caliber ad, "It's Anything But Cute," makes it one of the better ad placement juxtapositions in recent memory. Forgive the insane LeftlaneNews brandapalooza and baby facial coverage on the image. Why even botther? The image is already out there the world over.

When upgrading projects from Unity 5.3 to Unity 5.4, there are some changes you should be aware of which may affect your existing project.
Numerous changes to the Networking API.
The WebRequest
interface has been promoted from UnityEngine.Experimental.Networking
to UnityEngine.Networking
. Unity 5.2 and 5.3 projects that use UnityWebRequest
will have to be updated.
An image effect with the ImageEffectTransformsToLDR
attribute will no longer be applied directly to the Scene view if found. A new attribute exists for applying effects to the Scene view: ImageEffectAllowedInSceneView
. The 5.4 Standard Assets have been upgraded to reflect this change.
A number of built-in shader variables were renamed for consistency:
The variable references will be automatically renamed in .shader and .cginc files when importing them. However, after the import the shaders will not be usable in Unity 5.3 or earlier, without manually renaming the variables.
In Unity 5.4, the way arrays of shader properties are handled has changed. Now there is "native" support for float/vector/matrix arrays in shaders (via MaterialPropertyBlock.SetFloatArray
, Shader.SetGlobalFloatArray
etc.). These new APIs allow arrays up to 1,023 elements.
The old way of using number-suffixed names for referring to individual array elements is deprecated (e.g. _Colors0
, _Colors1
) in both Material
and MaterialPropertyBlock
. Properties of this kind, serialized with the Material
are no longer able to set array elements (but if any uniform array's name is suffixed by a number it still works).
The default shader compilation target has changed to "#pragma target 2.5" (SM3.0 on DX9, DX11 9.3 feature level on WinPhone). You can still target DX9 SM2.0 and DX11 9.1 feature level with "#pragma target 2.0".
The majority of built-in shaders target 2.5 now: Notable exceptions are Unlit, VertexLit and fixed function shaders. In practice, this means that most of built-in shaders and newly-created shaders, by default, will not work on PC GPUs that are made before 2004. See this blog post for details.
The Material
class constructor Material(string)
, which was already deprecated, stops working in 5.4. Using it will print an error and result in the magenta error shader.
The internal shader used to compute screen-space directional light shadows has moved to the Graphics settings. If you were using a customized version of directional light shadows by having a copy of that shader in your project, it will no longer be used. Instead, select your custom shader under Edit > Project Settings, then select the Graphics category.
Reflection probes share a sampler between the two textures. If you are sampling them manually in your shader, and get an "undeclared identifier samplerunity_SpecCube1" error, you'll need to change code from UNITY_PASS_TEXCUBE(unity_SpecCube1)
to UNITY_PASS_TEXCUBE_SAMPLER(unity_SpecCube1,unity_SpecCube0)
is deprecated; use Texture.dimension
The data layout of ComputeBuffers in automatically-converted OpenGL shaders has changed to match the layout of DirectX ComputeBuffers. If you use ComputeBuffers in OpenGL, remove any code that tweaks the data to match the previous OpenGL-specific layout rules. Please see Compute Shaders for more information.
Playables are now structs instead of classes.
The Playable
structs are handles to native Playable
classes, instead of pointers to native Playable
A non-null Playable
struct doesn't guarantee that the Playable is usable. Use the .IsValid
method to verify that your Playable can be used.
Any method that used to return null for empty inputs/outputs will now return Playable.Null
is an invalid Playable.
can be passed to AddInput
, SetInput
and SetInputs
to reserve empty inputs, or to implicitly disconnect connected inputs.
Using Playable.Null
or any invalid Playable as an input to any method, or calling a method on an invalid Playable will throw appropriate exceptions for the operation.
Comparing Playables with null
is now meaningless. Compare with Playable.Null
Playables must be allocated using the Create
static method of the class you wish to use.
Playables must be de-allocated using the .Destroy
method on the Playable handle.
Playables that are not de-allocated will leak.
Playables were converted to structs to improve performance by avoiding boxing/unboxing (more info on boxing).
Casting a Playable
to an object, implicitly or explicitly, will cause boxing/unboxing, thus reducing performance.
Inheriting from a Playable class will cause boxing/unboxing of instances of the child class.
Since only animation is available for now, ScriptPlayable
s have been replaced by CustomAnimationPlayables
It is no longer possible to derive from base Playables. Simply aggregate Playables in your custom Playables.
Follow these instructions to upgrade your Oculus VR project from Unity 5.3:
Re-enable virtual reality support.
Remove Oculus Spatializer.
There has been a change to the events that are triggered when sibling GameObjects are re-ordered in Unity 5.4. Sibling GameObjects are GameObjects which all share the same parent in the Hierarchy window. In prior versions of Unity, changing the order of sibling GameObjects would cause every sibling to receive an OnTransformParentChanged
call. In 5.4, the sibling GameObjects no longer get this call. Instead, the parent GameObject receives a single call to OnTransformChildrenChanged
This means that if you have code in your project that relies on OnTransformParentChanged being called when siblings are re-ordered, these calls will no longer occur, and you need to update your code to take action when the parent object receives the OnTransformChildrenChanged call instead.
This changed because the new behavior gives improved performance.
Due to optimisations in the Transform component, using Transform.SetParent

ing parts of hierarchies involving 1000+ GameObjects may now take a long time. Calling SetParent
on or otherwise rearranging such large hierarchies at runtime is not recommended.
The generated Visual Studio project format was updated for all .NET scripting backend SDKs. This fixes excessive rebuilding when nothing has changed in the generated project. You might need to delete your existing generated *.csproj, especially if it was built with the "Generate C# projects" option checked, so Unity can regenerate it.
There are two new script serialization errors to catch when the Unity API is being called from constructors and field initializers during deserialization (loading). Deserialization might happen on a different thread to the main thread and it is therefore not safe to call the Unity API during deserialization. There are more details at the bottom of the (Script Serialization)[script-Serialization] page in the Unity Manual.
The editor now supports Retina resolutions on Mac OS X with high-resolution text, UI and 3D views.
The Editor GUI is now defined in point space rather than pixel space. On standard resolution displays, there is no change because each point is one pixel. On Retina displays, however, every point is two pixels. The current screen to UI scale is available as EditorGUIUtility.pixelsPerPoint
. Since Unity can have multiple windows, each on monitors with different pixel densities, this value might change between views.
If your editor code uses regular Editor/GUI/Layout methods, it is quite likely that you will not need to change anything.
If you are using Screen.width/height
, switch to EditorWindow.position.width/height
instead. This is because screen size is measured in pixels, but UI is defined in points. For custom Editors displaying in the Inspector, use EditorGUIUtility.currentViewWidth
, which properly accounts for the presence of a scroll bar.
If you are displaying other content in your UI, such as a RenderTexture, you are probably calculating its size in points. To support Retina resolutions, you will need to convert your point sizes to pixel sizes. There are new methods in EditorGUIUtility for this.
If you are using GUIStyles with custom backgrounds, you can add Retina versions of background textures by putting one texture with exactly doubled dimensions into a 'GUIStyleState.scaledBackgrounds' array.
Macs with underpowered graphics hardware may experience unacceptably slow editor frame rates in 3D views due to increased resolution. Retina support can be disabled by choosing "Get Info" on Unity.app in the Finder, and checking "Open in Low Resolution".
There are:
The 5.3 behavior is that the animation system always sends Transform update messages for animation curves which are constant. These messages wake up the Rigidbodies and fixing this proved very risky in 5.3.
The 5.4 behavior is that if there are no position changes, the Rigidbody does not wake up (as most people would expect).
If your project relies on the 5.3 behavior of waking Rigidbody all the time, it might not work as expected in 5.4.
The Unity Web Player target has been dropped from Unity 5.4. If you upgrade your project to 5.4, you will not be able to deploy it to the Web Player platform.
If you have legacy Web Player projects that you need to maintain, do not upgrade them to 5.4 or later.

Book: Incantation Paradox
Author: annamaria bazzi
Cover Designer: Natasha Brown
Release Date:
A car
accident cuts Dolores Reynard's life short, leaving her with a long list of
unfulfilled dreams. When she awakens in a strange bed, inside a much younger
body, and living with a new family—she can't worry she might be going insane.
How can she be a teenager again?
Richmond understands the danger awaiting his new houseguest. Wanting to ease
her concerns, he works to earn Dolores' trust. But attraction flares in the
most unexpected way, and he finds himself caught between setting the situation
right and following his heart.
An enduring
evil threatens not only the blossoming love but their lives as well. As
Dolores and Jason struggle to unravel the truth behind her resurrection, they
find themselves tangled in a web of murder, intrigue and magic. Only together
can they hope to overcome the incantation paradox holding them
Hello, my name is
Dolores and I'm a forty-something mother of two high school girls, Ella and
Chloe. On my way to their recital, I was in a car accident that changed my life
forever. We all desire to be young again, but never in someone else's body.
If you think magic doesn't exist, think again. There truly
are people in the world who can wield magic, and I'm not talking the illusion
kind we see on stage, I'm talking real magic, the magic you read in books with
wizards and sorceresses. You don't have to take my word, read my story and find
out for yourself the ordeal I had to go through to find my way back home.

Disruptive Storage
The Fusion-io lunchtime session will look at how radical change is often achieved through distillation and simplicity of design in conjunction with passionate people and great software. SQL Server's capabilities have grown considerably over time but some of the ways we think about supporting it with persistent storage have only changed incrementally. It is therefore not just time to re-examine how we think about storage. We must think about what we are aiming to achieve with our designs and physical architectures as well. Often there is now a simpler way.
So, if you want to start thinking radically rather than incrementally about your persistent SQL Server storage architecture then I'd urge you to come to our lunch time session and find out more from the creators of disruptive storage technology.

From 1967 to 2019, Republicans controlled the California governorship for 31 of 52 years. So why is there currently not a single statewide Republican officeholder? California also has a Democratic governor and Democratic supermajorities in both houses of the state legislature. Only seven of California's 53 congressional seats are held by Republicans.
In 1994, then-Gov. Pete Wilson backed Proposition 187, which denied state social services to undocumented immigrants. The spin goes that it backfired, alienated the Hispanic community and thus marked the road to Republican perdition.
Not quite.
Prop 187 passed with 59 percent support. Wilson's endorsement of the bill helped its passage, and his support of it aided his landslide 1994 re-election. Among minority voters, 52 percent of Asian and African American voters supported Proposition 187. Some 27 percent of Latinos voted for it.
Liberal groups immediately sued in federal court. Just three days after the measure passed, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing Proposition 187 from going into effect. A month later, U.S. District Judge Mariana Pfaelzer issued a permanent injunction. Prop 187 never became law.
In effect, two judges nullified the wishes of more than 5 million California voters.
Arnold Schwarzenegger had supported Prop 187. Yet in 2003 he was elected governor. So what caused the Republican demise?
Ironically, radical changes in California demography may have been brought about by Prop 187 -- but not in the way many people think.
The state's population has increased by nearly 10 million in the last quarter century. Yet the growth has been marked by the exodus of some and larger influxes of others.
When Prop 187 passed, there were an estimated 1.5 million undocumented immigrants statewide. In the 25 years since, millions of others have entered the state, and the current number of those still undocumented exceeds 3 million.
Some 27 percent of current California residents were not born in the U.S. Traditionally, first-generation immigrants favor larger, not smaller, government.
A cynic might argue that once a federal judge allowed undocumented immigrants to enjoy the full array of state services and entitlements, there were incentives for millions of other immigrants to enter the U.S. illegally, and California in particular.
Statistics suggests they did just that -- often to the chagrin of Democratic politicians, the United Farm Workers and other liberal groups who worried about the negative effects of illegal immigration on entry-level wages, unionization and poor citizens' access to overtaxed social services.
Oddly, conservative businesspeople were likely to favor permissive immigration policies in hopes of finding an ample supply of low-cost laborers while simultaneously diminishing the power of unions.
A technological revolution sparked a lucrative Silicon Valley renaissance. Suddenly, coastal California became one of the wealthiest corridors in the history of the planet. Big Tech drew in hundreds of thousands of hip young workers eager to come to California and join what was thought to be a global revolution.
Silicon Valley was seen as a uniquely progressive corporate paradise where one could get rich and stay woke all at once. Most techies supported big government, higher taxes and open borders, and had the money and wherewithal to not worry much about the ensuing costs and the catastrophic results for others.
By the turn of the century, the California treasury was relying on the tech industry for an enormous share of the taxes to fund its massive expansion of state services -- and politicians often bowed to Big Tech's political wishes.
As taxes climbed, schools eroded and funds for infrastructure were diverted elsewhere, millions of middle-class Californians fled. The total numbers of this continuing exodus are still in dispute. Many left in despair over climbing gas, sales and income taxes that seemed to worsen rather improve state infrastructure and services.
This tripartite demographic revolution proved disastrous for the Republican Party. The GOP lost much of its base to other states. Many conservative voters left for small-government, low-tax alternatives. Republican efforts to reduce taxes, limit some abortions and fund additional roads and dams had little appeal to the new gentry classes on the coast.
Will there ever again be a viable California Republican Party?
After three decades of radical progressivism, California residents are tiring of one-party straitjacket rule. The hard-liberal order normalized massive power blackouts, the nation's highest array of taxes, the forest mismanagement that fuels deadly fires, an epidemic of homelessness in major cities, eroding schools, ossified infrastructure and soaring energy costs.
The final irony?
Those most hurt -- and growing the most angry -- are the immigrants who once fled to a different California that now no longer exists.

Quickness games develop movement skills
This is an excerpt from Developing Agility and Quickness by NSCA -National Strength & Conditioning Association,Jay Dawes & Mark Roozen.
Games for Improving Quickness
Games that incorporate quickness skills are a fun way to increase athletes' motivation and enthusiasm for training. The quickness games in this section also help athletes develop their situational-movement skills and body awareness.
Red Light, Green Light
This drill improves quickness and teaches athletes how to effectively accelerate and decelerate. Two cones are placed 40 yards (37 m) apart. Athletes should stand by one cone and the coach should stand by the other. On the green light command, the athletes sprint forward as far as possible before the coach yells red light! On this command, the athletes immediately stop in place. When the coach calls green light again, the athletes resume sprinting toward the second cone. The coach continues to call out commands until an athlete passes the second cone.
Knee Tag
This drill improves sport-specific speed and quickness for combative athletes. It also helps them learn to read and appropriately respond to their opponents' movements. Four cones or markers are set up in a square, with sides 6 feet (2 m) long. Two athletes stand approximately 3 feet (1 m) apart in the center of the square, face each other, and assume staggered stances. At the whistle, one athlete attempts to touch the opponent's knees (see photo). The opponent should dodge as needed to avoid being touched. The first athlete scores a point each time he tags the opponent's knees. Athletes should perform the game for approximately 15 to 30 seconds and then switch roles. The game can be repeated multiple times. However, athletes should rest for 30 to 60 seconds between bouts. After each athlete has had equal opportunities to score, the one who has earned the most points wins.
Heads or Tails
This game develops first-step quickness and improves reaction time. Two cones are placed 20 to 40 yards (18-37 m) apart, and another cone is placed halfway between them. At the center cone, two athletes face each other with their hands outstretched and their fingertips touching directly over the cone (photo a). The athletes then assume an athletic position, dropping their hands down to their sides. The coach designates one player as heads and the other as tails. The coach flips a coin and calls out which side of the coin is facing up. The designated athlete turns (photo b) and attempts to sprint past the cone originally behind him before being tagged by the other athlete (photo c). Points are given to any athlete who makes it to the scoring zone without being tagged or to any player who tags the fleeing runner outside of the designated safe area. Athletes should repeat the game 6 to 12 times.

Xmas comes early for privacy advocates?!
"Facebook has ordered its 350 million users to sort out their privacy settings right now, before it throws the switch on its revamped security system.
The social networker farmer in chief Mark Zuckerberg, told its users last week that, "We're adding something that many of you have asked for — the ability to control who sees each individual piece of content you create or upload." He also promised a simplified privacy page.
..In today's warning, coinciding with the actual launch of the tools, Facebook promised its new Publisher Privacy Control would allow users to set a privacy setting for each piece on content they create.The firm is also removing its "regional networks", in favour of four basic control settings: friends, friends of friends, everyone and customised.
This will be allied with an "easy, intuitive and accessible" privacy settings page."
Well, hmm, let's see - but Blogzilla. looks like we may finally have to rewrite that FB paper!
Of course in other news today, Sophos, who discovered 2 years ago that most FB users would revel their most private details to cartoon frog, found that 2 years on, relicating the study in Australia, ... well, nothing had really changed.
"The survey found that 46% of users in a fictional 21 year old's age group accepted the offered friendship, while 41% of a fictional 56 year old's peers did.
On Facebook once someone has been accepted as your 'friend' they can see more information about you, but you can still choose to hide information from those friends or limit it to specific groups amongst your online friends....
"Both groups were very liberal with their email addresses and with their birthdays," said Sophos head of technology in Asia Pacific Paul Ducklin. "This is worrying because these details make an excellent starting point for scammers and social engineers.""
Ah well, you can't have everything!
