Toronto Raptors
Shooting At Parade
… Cops Arrest 2 People
Breaking News
1:24 PM PT — Police say they have arrested 2 suspects and recovered 2 guns after an alleged shooting at the Toronto Raptors championship parade Monday.
Cops also say two people are being treated for "serious" injuries — but the injuries are not life-threatening. The investigation is ongoing.
The championship parade continued after the shooting — with Drake taking the stage and telling the reported 1.5 MILLION people in the streets to hug each other and spread love.
The parade ended with no further violent incidents.
Scary moment at the Toronto Raptors championship parade in Canada … where gunshots were reportedly fired in the crowd and cops are now responding.
The party came to a screeching halt just before 1 PM PT — when people in the crowd heard what sounded like 4 gunshots.

Old wounds were reopened tonight as Miami managed to come from behind to beat Florida State by the especially hated score of 28-27. Much of the game went exactly as expected, with the result boiling down to turnovers, a key decision by the officiating crew, and two fourth-down touchdowns against FSU true freshman DBs. Nevertheless, fans got a little glimpse at Willie Taggart's style of approaching a rivalry game, and the team appears closer to turning the corner in terms of execution on both sides of the ball.

Munich, October 19, 2019: The award ceremony to confer the Roland Berger Human Dignity Award 2019, scheduled for this Monday, has been postponed to a later date. The founder, Prof. Dr. h.c. Roland Berger, made this decision in order to prevent the recent reporting on his father's role in the Nazi era from compromising the dignity and renown of the award, first presented in 2008.
The reporting, initiated by "Handelsblatt", of an issue that has nothing to do with the Human Dignity Award but concerns the father-son relationship between Georg and Roland Berger has clearly also unsettled the award winners. Some of the award winners were further unnerved by the business newspaper's editors contacting them with questions. Mr. Berger has decided to take this action in order to avoid causing further inconvenience to the winners and friends of the Human Dignity Award, and in response to the Polish award winner and Human Rights Commissioner Adam Bodnar and the network "School without Racism – School with Courage" declining the award.
The founder, Prof. Dr. h.c. Roland Berger, explained: "I acknowledge with sadness and disappointment that the Polish Human Rights Commissioner Adam Bodnar and his office do not wish to accept the award. The same is true of the network School without Racism – School with Courage, which has issued a press release to that effect." However, the third award winner, the organization ichbinhier e.V., does not wish to decline the award.
In his statement, Roland Berger, who planned to present the award at a ceremony at the Jewish Museum Berlin, said: "I respect these decisions and am cancelling Monday's event to prevent further damage to my foundation and to preserve the spirit of the award for future award winners." Given the present media environment, he has decided to postpone the award ceremony until next year. The foundation will stay in touch with the proposed award winners to see whether their former interest in receiving the award remains or whether new award winners should be chosen for next year.
The event is being postponed until after the publication of a full historical examination, commissioned by Prof. Roland Berger, into his father's role during the Nazi era. This shall provide a complete clarification of allegations made in Handelsblatt that Roland Berger presented an overly uncritical and incomplete picture of his father Georg Berger, who died in 1977. Mr. Berger refutes the allegations but is prepared to revise the picture he presented of his father if the historical examinations find that Georg Berger profiteered from the Nazi regime.
Roland Berger has commissioned historians Prof. Michael Wolffsohn and Prof. Sönke Neitzel to conduct the scholarly examination. Their report is expected to be completed and published by the end of the year.

The Roland Berger Foundation is an independent public foundation under German civil law with headquarters in Munich, Germany. It was established on March 27, 2008 by Prof. Dr. h.c. Roland Berger, who donated the initial foundation capital of EUR 50 million. It pursues two objectives, both of which serve to enhance equality of opportunity: In conferring the Roland Berger Human Dignity Award, the Foundation honors individuals and organizations from around the world who have shown exemplary and effective commitment to the protection of human dignity. With its German National Scholarship program, the Foundation also helps gifted children and teenagers from underprivileged families gain access to the best possible education.

A Renewed Interest in Literature from Africa: Trailblazer Cassava Republic Press to Launch in the United Kingdom
Leading African publishing house Cassava Republic Press has announced that it will be launching in the United Kingdom, in order to "spotlight the vibrancy and diversity of prose by African writers on the continent and in the diaspora".
Cassava is planning to kick off operations in the UK in April 2016, with a launch list that includes Elnathan John's Born on a Tuesday, Sarah Ladipo Manyika's Like A Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun, Leye Adenle's Easy Motion Tourist, HJ Golakai's The Lazarus Effect and Abubakar Adam Ibrahim's Season of Crimson Blossoms.
It's a prestigious list. John has been shortlisted for the Caine Prize for African writing twice, Manyika was the chair of judges for the 2014 Etisalat Prize for Literature, while Ibrahim was shortlisted for the Caine Prize in 2013, and currently serves as a judge for the Short Story Day Africa competition.
The internationally acclaimed The Lazarus Effect was longlisted for the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature, and shortlisted for both the Sunday Times Fiction Prize and the University of Johannesburg Debut Prize. Golakai's new novel, The Score, was recently released in South Africa (read an excerpt).
Cassava Republic Press has its headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria, although founder Bibi Bakare-Yusuf is now based in London. Bakare-Yusuf will be joined by Emma Shercliff, formerly MD of Macmillan English Campus and head of export sales at Hodder Education.
"It is exciting to be launching Cassava Republic Press in the UK both as an intervention and as an opportunity to introduce the diversity of writings coming out of the continent," Bibi Bakare-Yusuf (above) said in a press statement. "What we are doing is unprecedented: an African publishing house establishing a base in the UK after nearly 10 years in Africa rather than the reverse. This is the birthing of African publishing onto the world stage."
Shercliff adds: "Having worked with Cassava Republic in Abuja for almost two years, I am delighted to be starting this new venture with Bibi in London.
"The feedback we have already received from the UK trade has been fantastic; there is a renewed interest in literature from Africa and we feel particularly excited about introducing some very special authors who are already celebrated in Africa, but practically unknown in the UK, to a wider audience."
In partnership with the British Council as part of their UK/Nigeria 2015-16 programme, Cassava Republic Press will showcase the breadth of talent on the list across UK literature festivals next April. Today's announcement coincides with a BBC Radio 4 special on the Nigerian literary scene, entitled 'Writing a New Nigeria', to be broadcast at 11.30am on Thursday 26th November and Thursday 3rd December, featuring publishers Bibi Bakare-Yusuf and Emma Shercliff and Cassava Republic Press authors Elnathan John, Abubakar Adam Ibrahim and Toni Kan.
As Chad Felix of Melville House says, "The stage is set."
In the nine years since the founding of Cassava Republic, the house has curated an impressive list, which includes authors Teju Cole, Man Booker Prize-nominee Chigozie Obioma (The Fisherman), Mukoma wa Ngugi (whose Nairobi Heat and Black Star Nairobi were published by Melville House in 2011 and 2013 respectively), and Caine Prize-nominee Elnathan John (Born on a Tuesday). In addition to literary and crime fiction, the house also publishes a variety of non-fiction and children's titles.
In a video published two years ago, Bakare-Yusuf explains why she started Cassava Republic Press, and what her plans are:
"When I moved to Nigeria as an academic, there were all these interesting African writers being published abroad, and they're not available locally – no one's heard of them," she says. "So I decided, 'okay, I'm going to start a publishing company'. Cassava Republic Press. I knew nothing, nothing nothing nothing, about publishing! I knew everything about reading and writing, but nothing about the business of publishing.
"150 million people. 77 million of them young people under 30. How do we get those people reading? Those are the people I'm actually interested in converting. We want to convert minds. We want to convert them to question who they are, and also question society."

Position-less basketball is the hot new buzzword in NBA circles, but it's also an important one.
Consider what the 2016-17 Bulls rolled out the same year the Golden State Warriors Death Lineup'd their way to an NBA title. Led by the Three Alphas of Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler, here's how the minutes shook out, per Basketball Reference.
Rondo played 100% of his minutes at point guard despite having played 42% of his minutes at shooting guard the year earlier for the Kings (a year in which he shot 36.5% from deep). Wade played 84% of his minutes at shooting guard. The following seasons, the last two of his career, he played 31% at point guard, 54% at shooting guard and 15% at small forward.
Butler played 93% of his minutes at small forward. The next two seasons, in Minnesota and Philadelphia, his minutes were split up at 45% shooting guard, 48% small forward and 7% power forward.
Taj Gibson played 96% of his minutes at power forward and Robin Lopez played 100% of his minutes at center. Nikola Mirotic played 88% of his minutes at power forward. Over the last two seasons, he's played 74% of his minutes at power forward and 23% at center (and 3% at small forward).
Sensing a theme here?
While the NBA zigged toward position-less basketball, the Bulls...didn't do anything. They had traditional roles, had little depth that allowed them to tinker with lineups despite that being the best way to utilize Fred Hoiberg's philosophies, and they failed. Yes, they led 2-0 on the Celtics in the first round of the postseason. No, that didn't make that entire season any less of a mess.
Fast forward two years and one rebuild later, and the Bulls enter Year 3 of the post-Jimmy Buckets era with some serious versatility.
The latest signal that this franchise is ready to move forward came on Thursday when the Bulls drafted North Carolina guard Coby White. He's not a traditional point guard, and the Bulls don't want him to be. In fact, the Bulls' entire offseason feels like it could be more about finding the right players instead of the right positional needs.
"John (Paxson) and I have had great conversations about our team during the year, at the end of the season, about what we thought we needed, where we thought we needed to go, and today is a product of that, of those meetings, those discussions, and his view," Jim Boylen said Monday. "We talked about positional size a lot, we talked about speed, quickness, athleticism. Those are the things we thought we needed with the group of guys we had, to add to them. Whether it's vertical spacing, speed, making defenses chase people over, all those kinds of things, we discussed. And as we went into the draft process we were hoping to find players to help us with that. Thankfully we have."
Of White specifically, Boylen said the Bulls won't "put him in this box where he just has to play this way," Boylen added. For the first time arguably since Nate Robinson in 2013, the Bulls have a legitimate shooting threat at point guard. What's more, the 6-foot-5 White can play off the ball and spot up for perimeter jumpers, something that makes Zach LaVine more valuable and the offense more versatile.
The Bulls are finally looking to look like a versatile group. Otto Porter's defensive ability will give the Bulls the option of playing small, something that prior to his arrival just meant Chandler Hutchison getting abused in the post. Lauri Markkanen is a work-in-progress as a center, though his limited minutes and skill set give optimism that it's something he can do in spurts going forward. LaVine was never going to take on a full-time point guard role, but he was more than comfortable with the ball in his hands acting as an offensive initiator last season, maybe Kris Dunn, LaVine and White all share the floor together.
We could even see second-round pick Daniel Gafford and Wendell Carter Jr. together in massive frontline spurts if the opposition calls for it. That's more fantasy than reality, but having the option is something they didn't have in the past.
The next step is free agency. With the Bulls, in theory, having starters at all five positions - White could move to the bench if Paxson goes after a veteran free agent - the Bulls can again get versatile and hone in on particular skill sets instead of simply trying to round out the depth chart. It doesn't feel like the Bulls will make a major splash - either giving Milwaukee's Malcolm Brogdon a gigantic offer sheet or finding room to sign Brooklyn's D'Angelo Russell - but they'll be aggressive with their more than $22 million in cap space. They need point guard depth, more shooters on the wing and a locker room presence (Cris Felicio is a month younger than Otto Porter, the oldest player on the Bulls).
"We have a very good idea of what we want. But we're going to have to wait until the 30th to go at it. But we know we need to add some veterans," Paxson said. "Definitely, we're looking for a couple of veteran guys that fit well with this young group – be pros, show these guys every day what it means to be a professional. Most guys that last a long time in this league, they last because they've been pros. They take care of themselves, they've played well, they've done all the right things. And that's always best example for young players."
The roster is far from a finished product. Injuries aside, the Bulls still won just 22 games a year ago, don't have max cap space, and White isn't Zion Williamson.
There's work to do. But for the first time during the rebuild, the Bulls are going to have options. The roster is beginning to look like what a group of NBA players in 2019 should look like. The Bulls are getting versatile, and it's an important step forward.

Researchers from Brazil and the United States carried out new clinical trials of hormones that can eliminate the effects of aging naturally occurring in human cells, which can lead to a significant extension of life.
In recent experiments, they used a steroid danazol (a synthetic male hormone) to stimulate the production of an enzyme called telomerase, which is known for keeps cells young by stopping the dwindling DNA in them, which is achieved by stopping the degeneration of telomeres (red dots in the picture).
In the words of one of the scientists, one of the processes associated with aging is a progressive shortening of telomeres – every time a cell divides, they shorten. After such processes, the cell can no longer replicate and dies. But the enzyme telomerase can preserve the length of telomeres intact, even after cell divides.
Since studies have shown that aging of the cell can be stopped by increasing telomerase, the possibility of developing new treatments for diseases such as aplastic anemia (where the stem cells of bone marrow early age) or pulmonary fibrosis (where tissue lung appear scars)
In the conducted study, danazol was prescribed for a period of 2 years of 27 patients who suffered from aplastic anemia, which lost an average of 200 to 600 pairs of telomerase year. During the treatment, it was noted that not only the length of telomeres is not diminished, but their number has increased to an average of 386 pairs. In addition, hook-up and mass of hemoglobin, which meant that patients were no longer dependent on blood transfusions.
Progress in all these surveys must carefully observe, because the use of hormones can cause side effects such as sudden mood changes, fatigue, and problems with the digestive system.

2019 Porsche Mission E – A Fully-Electric Porsche
As you know, Porsche has always been famous for their fantastic designs and durable vehicles. The truth is that even though not everyone can buy a Porsche, it is one of those manufacturers that are really worth every cent.
One of the best things about Porsche is that they keep innovating and developing new technologies and features to continue to build safe, useful, fast, and overall, incredible cars. So, it's not a big surprise that the manufacturer decided to launch a fully-electric car – the 2019 Porsche Mission E.
The 2019 Porsche Mission E was revealed back in 2015. However, it is now entering the final stages of development and production. It should be placed between the 911 and the Panamera and is a four-door sports car, with an entirely electric powertrain.
Discover the best SUVs in 2018.
2019 Porsche Mission E Release Date
The 2019 Porsche Mission E had its debut at the 2015 Frankfurt International Motor Show. According to the manufacturer, it will go on sale by the end of 2019.
2019 Porsche Mission E Price
Even though there isn't an official price, the truth is that we already know that it is taking the spot between the Panamera and the 911. So, according to our opinion and most rumors that we have been reading and hearing, the starting price of the 2019 Porsche Mission E should be set at, at least, $80,000.
2019 Porsche Mission E Redesign and Changes
One of the things that Porsche likes to do is to surprise their fans. So, they are really quiet about what we can expect about the exterior of the new 2019 Porsche Mission E. However, and according to the company boss, "the design is fixed." Besides, the final Mission E will look "very close to what you saw two years ago" in the Frankfurt International Motor Show when it was debuted.
Blume even added a bit more by stating that "It will be exciting but a bit different from the concept."
According to some of the images that we already saw, we believe that the front Matrix LED headlights will come with some innovative sensors that will serve as assistance systems. Besides, we also believe that the exterior mirrors will be replaced by cameras. This way, you'll be able to see the reflexion of the images that are located on the lower windshield corners.
In what concerns with the back of the 2019 Porsche Mission E, we think that the design will combine a black glass with a continuous light strip.

2019 Porsche Mission E Specs
One of the things that many people always feel anxious about when a new Porsche is on the way is to see what is under the hood. One of the best things about the 2019 Porsche Mission E is the fact that the powertrain is entirely electric and, according to most rumors, it should go head-to.head with the Model S from Tesla. After all, the initial concept of the 2019 Porsche Mission E had a 600bhp engine.
Besides this, another advantage of the new 2019 Porsche Mission E when compared to the Tesla's Model S is the battery booster. According to Porsche, there will be a new rapid-charge booster that will take less than 15 minutes to reach 80%. In the case of the Model S and the supercharger they use, it takes about 40 minutes to reach the same 80%.
2019 Porsche Mission E Interior
The truth is that we don't know almost anything about the interior of the 2019 Porsche Mission E. However, there have been a lot of rumors about this four-door sports car. According to them, you should expect to get four individual seats that are inspired in racing seats to provide the maximum comfort to all the passengers. In addition, there should also be 5 round instruments that will be virtually displayed using the OLED technology as well as 3D display moves with the driver (up, down, left and right).
Other than that, you can expect that the 2019 Porsche Mission E cabin is built only using the highest-quality materials as well as it will have, without any question, a huge number of entertainment and safety features.

Bitterness fruit smoothie. Interview with Marina And The Diamonds
Marina Lambrini Diamandis worships reckless front-women from indie and rock groups, and she makes pop music herself.
While in 2012 she adhered to the image of an extravagant bubblegum princess, on "Froot" she shows her talent as a songwriter and creates a whole garden of electronic music, where, however, there is an entrance to guitars. Lena Ackermann met with Diamandis in Berlin.
Anyone who dives deeper into the world of Marina And The Diamonds from the Froot album will end up in a fluorescent orchard, where instead of Granny Smith apples grow cherries from the One-armed Bandit. In the title track of the album, Marina brings out sweet-voiced trills like "Frohohohot", turning into flirty "Lalalalala". In the text of the song, she drops a couple of octaves below and sings with the invented accent "Hanging around like a fruit on a tree, waiting to be picked, come on cut me free". In the video for this song, the singer bends in front of the bedroom door in a silk shirt like a diva from the 50s; the earrings are similar to pineapple. The seduction scene cannot look unambiguous.
Even the premises of the Berlin hotel where the interview takes place resembles a jar of canned Sweet Valley brand fruit: you have to look for the most important person with the same zeal as a cherry in sugar syrup. Black furniture, dark walls, heavy curtains. Right in the corner are dumped bean bags where Marina and her assistants are sitting with their heads bowed. On the table in front of the girls lies a bitten apple. They whisper excitedly, hug, and then Marina slowly stretches out in an armchair. Due to the fact that she smirks, she looks as if her face is completely composed of burgundy lipstick. She has every reason to be happy, as she found out that her single "I'm A Ruin" reached number two on the American charts.
According to the definition of Marina Diamandis herself, the current version of Marina And The Diamonds is electro-indie pop. You can see the influence of Lady Gaga and La Roux. The album includes pop ballads and energetic tracks with clever lyrics, catchy hooks, electronic beats and a guitar.
"This time I wanted to record with the whole group, transfer the live sound to the album. The solo artist is encouraged mainly when recording songs with someone else. People who know pop and electronic music like the back of their fingers are waiting for this."
After the experience of recording the last album, Diamandis stopped listening to anyone's advice and made all decisions on her own, in particular, it concerned sound.
"All the artists I like, like PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Shirley Manson or Kate Bush, have real bands. This time I wanted the same thing."
But there is a huge difference between the ladies listed and what you can hear on "Froot". But Marina Diamandis is a woman woven from contrasts. If it were not for comparison with the orchard, but with varieties of chocolate, then it would be dark chocolate. Diamandis sings that she has never been so happy as she is now, while sounding exceptionally melancholy. How easily these poles combine, you can see when she, beaming, gives her definition of happiness:
"Happiness is, first of all, that tremendous feeling of the realization that this moment will not last forever."
In addition to the fruit connecting analogy, which manifests itself both in visual strategy and during releases, the singer wanted to move away from any leitmotif for the album as far as possible.
"As for the songs on Froot, there is no concept. There is no thread connecting the album in terms of lyrics. Besides what I do, people can be connected by some universal point of view. Then we would have to deal with large-scale themes: immortality, happiness, cruelty. "
Diamandis has a lot to say on this subject, but as with any real pop album, Froot is mostly about love.
Three years ago, on the album "Electra Heart", she wrote about the fury of those who renounced spirituality. She hit the cliche, betraying everything – from the fool with the manners of the diva to the depraved housewife. Now she has found a more interesting approach to the topic: now this is parting, and therefore "Froot" is under the sign of prudence instead of anger. Anyway, nothing was left of the extravagant bubblegum queen from 2012. "Electra Heart", her then alter ego, shows no signs of life: it rested thanks to sleeping pills, which Diamandis had mixed in the evening before tea. At the same time, the polemic break with "Electra Heart" is combined with the transition from a typically female model of behavior to the newly discovered feminism advocated by Lina Dunham in "Girls". But Diamandis explains:
"Love has nothing to do with feminism. Everyone wants to be loved. I, of course, too."
And therefore, she has the right to indulge in longing for the man who cared for her.
This year, the artist turns 30 years old and with this, which is absolutely in the spirit of the series "Girls", she has no problems.

Let me talk to you about why this series of articles is coming into being. It all started on July 28, when I decided that I would go live on my personal Facebook page discussing Adult ADHD. I have done so many live videos in the past on my mental health, that I didn't think twice about it.
Then, July 29 at 4:15 p.m. I decided now was the time to act. So, I set up my phone and all of a sudden I was gripped with panic about the idea of going live. Two not so successful attempts later (since my husband says failed is the wrong word) where I panic stopped the live video, I am here, deciding on giving you an important FAQ article about Adult ADHD.
I've been very vocal about my ADHD journey on Facebook for a few months now, and I want to believe it's doing something. Even if it's just allowing me to briefly celebrate my own successes or give information as I learn it. My goal is to educate, advocate, and destigmatize, and that's what I'm doing with this article.
So, let's get started shall we?
What is ADHD?
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and it effects executive function, emotional regulation, memory and focus. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning that it has to do with the how our brains develop over time. Those of us with ADHD have vastly different brain development that impairs the ability to produce what we need to have proper memory, focus, emotions, learning abilities, and more. However, despite the name, ADHD is not necessarily a lack of attention or focus. People with ADHD still have the ability to focus and pay attention, it's just they struggle to place that focus appropriately and to maintain that focus.
Are there multiple types of ADHD?
Yes! There are three types of ADHD: Predominantly Inattentive, Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive, and Combined. Combined is the most commonly diagnosed type of ADHD, meaning that the person being diagnosed meets the requirements for both Inattentive and Hyperactive/Impulsive.
What are the symptoms of each sub-type?
- Fidgeting or squirming
- Nonstop talking
- Trouble sitting still and doing quiet tasks, such as reading; or struggles to do tasks quietly
- Running from place to place; acting as if you are driven by a motor. Or, the constant need to be doing something and feeling restless when not doing something.
- Constantly leaving their seat, jumping or climbing on furniture or other inappropriate places (for adults, this may look more like an internal restlessness instead of actively leaving their seat)
- Not having patience, or trouble waiting their turn
- Blurting out comments at inappropriate times
- Interrupting conversations or speaking out of turn
- Trouble waiting for a turn or standing in line
- Missing details and becoming distracted easily
- Trouble focusing on the task at hand
- Becoming bored quickly
- Difficulty learning or organizing new information
- Trouble completing homework or losing items needed to stay on task (this also applies to office work for our jobs)
- Becoming confused easily or daydreaming frequently
- Seeming to not listen when spoken to directly
- Difficulty following instructions
- Processing information more slowly and with more mistakes than peers
How do you get a diagnosis?
In order to receive an ADHD diagnosis, the following criteria need to be met:
- For children 17 and younger, 6 out of 9 symptoms from either list (or 6 symptoms from each list for combined) must be present; for adults 18 or older, 5 out of 9 symptoms must be present.
- These symptoms must be present, consistently, for more than 6 months.
- The symptoms must have been present before the age of 12 years old.
- The symptoms cannot be explained by any other mood or personality disorder, or be better explained by physiological issues (like hormones, thyroid, etc).
- The symptoms must impact at least 2 out of 3 areas in their life: social, work/school, and home.
- The symptoms must be severe enough that they impact the person's ability to function on a daily basis (ex: they struggle with losing jobs, making friends, or keeping relationships).
Typically, you can seek a diagnosis from either a general practitioner, clinical therapist, or a psychiatrist; I would recommend seeking a diagnosis from a therapist first but that's my own personal opinion. A comprehensive background of your symptoms will be evaluated, and parents and/or spouses may be contacted to help gather information on your symptoms.
Does ADHD present itself differently in men and women?
Yes! A huge, resounding yes. To give you an idea on just how differently, it's been found men are three times more likely to be diagnosed than women. Those percentages for adults have 12.9% of men being diagnosed, and a 4.9% of women. The reason for this is that men typically have more outward symptoms that result in behavioral issues; they are loud, can be defiant and get in to trouble much more often. Women, on the other hand, are typically more withdrawn, and typically they have fewer behavioral issues.
This is also because women are more likely to have the Predominantly Inattentive sub type, whereas men are more likely to be hyperactive/impulsive. This isn't necessarily a black and white statistic but it does give us insight into why women tend to go undiagnosed longer than men, and just how women present differently than women.
Plus, it's worth noting that women or period having individuals will likely see strange fluctuations in their symptoms due to how the hormones are produced during their cycle, but we'll get to that more later.
What does ADHD actually look like?
While this answer will be different for everyone, I'll explain what it looks like in me specifically. I have the Combined subtype of ADHD, but what brought me to therapy was my inattentive symptoms. I do believe my inattentive symptoms are the bigger headache in my life, but my hyperactive/impulsive symptoms do cause problems all the same.
For me, my ADHD looks like sitting around all day and not getting to my chores, and then being overwhelmed by the mess but not knowing how to start cleaning it up. It looks like putting off incredibly simple tasks because they seem like so much work, and then scrambling to get it done the night before the deadline so I don't get in trouble or get fired. It looks like having 15 things to do, but instead deciding to hyperfocus on this thing I saw on Pinterest and spending the rest of my day buying a ton of craft items that by next week will just be clutter in my downstairs office.
It looks like being consistently 5-10 minutes late every day to work, despite the fact I live less than 5 minutes from my office and I'm awake by 8:00 a.m. every morning. It looks like forgetting appointments, scheduling something during the same time slot, realizing I double booked and trying to decide which one I can reschedule and/or cancel without seeming like a total flake… at least once a week. It's my husband asking me something, and me comprehending absolutely nothing he said, and having to ask him what he said at least once a conversation.
It also looks like fighting sleep because going to bed is boring. It looks like restless legs, squirming in my seat, changing positions, or fidgeting with whatever I can get my hands on without realizing I'm doing it. It's zoning out in conversation because the person I'm talking to said something interesting, and now I'm thinking about that one time in high school where the person did that thing that reminds me of that time last week where my dog went to that place and oh god what were they saying?
And ADHD looks like barely passing classes, or failing them and ending up in summer school every summer in high school. It looks like spending all day working on a project for work, just to submit it and have my boss look at me and go, "You spent all day working on this? How does it have so many errors? How does that happen?" Or realizing only after being called into your bosses office that somehow you printed half the church bulletins with the right information, and the other half of the bulletins with the information from 2 weeks ago because you had both files open at the same time and didn't check before continuing to print the remaining files.
These examples are only a small snapshot of my life, but if you'd like to read more about what ADHD looks like for me, you can click here.
Is it possible I have ADHD but I just present differently?
I love this question because while ADHD does have a set number of symptoms that we all seem to share, just like mental health issues, all people experience them differently. While many people with ADHD are messy, cluttered people, some actually fall on the other end where their houses are consistently clean and they avoid clutter at all costs.
Many people with ADHD struggle with school, but not all. In fact, those with ADHD are found to have high IQs, and some people who have ADHD actually excel in school settings. Some will even graduate with honors, or be in the highest level of coursework.
While a lot of people with ADHD struggle with being late, other people can develop such an intense fear of being late that they slingshot themselves to the other extreme: being excessively early. To combat shame or feelings of guilt, some people with ADHD report showing up to events, work, or school, 30 minutes to 2 hours early.
Beyond all that, ADHD is made up if 9 symptoms from each subtype (or 18 if you're combined). Even if two people share the same set of symptoms, the ones that cause them issues will be different. While some may struggle with little details, others may be proficient in editing, for example.
Most importantly, there are so many factors that go into why two people with the same issue present differently. In my case, I know my husband keeps me above water. Without him, I think my symptoms would be much more severe, but having him in my life provides structure and a sense of accountability for my actions. It's much easier to avoid that impulse buy when I know I'd have to explain why I charged a couple hundred dollars to a credit card for a trampoline we don't need to the guy who does our budgeting.
Is ADHD something that can be cured?
Sorry, but… no. And, if you do feel as if you cured your ADHD, there are only two ways this is possible. You either didn't have ADHD to begin with, or you're fooling yourself. ADHD is chronic, it's truly a result of the fact your brain developed completely differently than those without ADHD. This means that you will have ADHD for the rest of your life, but the good news is there are ways to manage and cope with the symptoms and that can make things just slightly easier.
So, you can't cure it. What does treatment look like for someone with ADHD then?
Well, for starters find a therapist who has a good grasp on Adult ADHD. Not all therapists will have the knowledge needed to help you with this, but you also don't need to seek out an ADHD specialist either. Therapy is something that can help teach coping skills to help manage the frequently frustrating aspects of ADHD, like time management, motivation and even focus.
From there, medication can be prescribed and is usually quite effective for people with ADHD. Stimulants like Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, and Ritalin help by increasing production of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. These neurotransmitters are what help us with memory, focus and motivation, and stimulants work within 30-60 minutes of taking them, and are gone from your system very quickly as well. Nonstimulant medications such as Intuniv, Straterra and a few others take longer to build up in the system, but usually are less likely to cause the unwanted side effects of stimulants (and have an almost nonexistent chance of addiction).
Other ways to help manage your symptoms include changing your diet to reduce sugar, exercise, yoga and meditation (yes, this actually can help!), and taking vitamins (like Omega 3, for example).
Lastly, if you are in school, or perhaps in the workforce, accommodations can be made to help you achieve your best. Schools can provide IEP's, and ADHD is recognized under the ADA, so working with your employer to determine what you need can be incredibly helpful to making work life simpler.
To avoid overwhelming and overloading the FAQ, and to save those ADHDers who struggle with reading (like I do), I'm splitting this article into multiple parts! Interested in the next part? Just click here and read on!

Having obtained three qualifications in six years, I would say that where you come from shouldn't limit where you go. You can change your life if you are determined and focus on your dream.
I would be sharing steps I took in writing my assignments and achieving success. I obtained BA Hons. Language Studies with English and French in 2015; Cambridge English level 5 Certificate in teaching English to speakers of other languages (CELTA) (QCF) in 2016; and MA. Applied Linguistics (tefl) in 2017.
First step: Taking note.
Firstly, the step I took whilst writing academic assignment throughout my six years of intensive study as a mature student is taking a detailed note during class lectures. I believe that the art of note taking is vital in all aspect of learning and crucial to writing an assignment or dissertation. Information could be lost quickly over time if there's no strategy or effort to retain it.
It works well for me to remember what was learnt in the class when I write it down in bullet points, then go back to read it and expatiate on when writing my assignment. I think writing notes by hand is much better for long terms memory of ideas or conceptual information. I analyse my notes thoroughly, review and keep reviewing them, highlight the key terms and include vital examples. Also, while making my notes, I tend to write any questions or doubts and research into later.
Look out for my second step in my next blog.
What's your opinion on writing notes by hand? Does it work for you in terms of remembering it? When the information is needed for a write-up? What are your tips for note making?
Please kindly comment, like and follow and l will definitely fellow back.

"I'm a classic mannnn. You can be mean when you look this clean." -that one song that no one knows who sings but everyone knows it. Sigma Chi's are just classic men, plain and simple. Nothin' too crazy or fancy, just keepin' traditional alive. Also, Sigma Chi's are probably the ones hunting the wild turkey to bring in for dinner so we gotta give them credit. Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without a turkey, and Greek life isn't Greek life without our Sigma Chi's.
What can be better than grandmas homemade stuffing?! Not a lot because it's made with love. FIJIs are loyal to their brothers, just like your family is loyal to each other. Even when you disagree on politics! Stuffing is actually called stuffing because you stuff it in your mouth when your family starts talking about the election. FIJIs are always there for you, just like your grandma's homemade stuffing.
We're not just saying this because DGs are so sweet (well actually we kind of are)! Everyone is always pumped to see their Great Aunt Sue come through the door holding like five pans of sweet potato casserole-- that's how everyone feels when they see the DGs on campus! Their sweetness might be the only thing better than the marshmellows on top of sweet potato casserole.
You will not find a plate at Thanksgiving without a giant pile of mashed potatoes on it (except for your weird healthy Aunt Jennifer that runs marathons and stuff, get out Aunt Jennifer, Thanksgiving is NOT for you!) When you go to the KA house you are guaranteed to meet a new best friend. Kappa Alpha's are inviting and people are drawn to them and let's be honest we are drawn to potatoes.
Green beans for our green KDs! But you can't forget the bacon, I mean green beans are okay on their own, but you add some bacon and brown sugar to it and you know it's going down. It reminds us of Kappa Delta because yeah, Greek life is great on it's own, but when you throw Kappa Delta into the mix it's perfection. Green beans put a perfect mix into the all carb diet that is Thanksgiving dinner, but of course you've gotta make them a little unhealthy.
It's alllll gravy! Honestly, how would turkey and mashed potatoes survive without gravy? How would we survive without our AOPi girlies? They take the classy and make it fun. Just like gravy! Even if your turkey is dry and gross because your weird Uncle Rob bought it from one of his friends behind a gas station, you can put gravy on it and it's instantly better!? Just like when your day is bad and it feels like you ate gas station turkey, call up one of your AOPi girls and they'll make it better.
It's no coincidence that Phi Mu's color is pink and that cranberry's are pink...ish. These will sweeten up any holiday party, just like the Phi Mus sweeten up our Greek life family. Just like Kappa Delta you've gotta mix up the bread and the carbs with some fruits, but you know, plain cranberries ain't gonna cut it. Just like average houses aren't going to cut it on our campus, Phi Mu has all the houses stepping their game up.
Goin' with the flow? Rollin' with the homies? Easy for our Lambda Chi guys. These are the people you're going to want to sit by at your family Thanksgiving dinner because they will keep you calm and sane. Just like everyone wants to sit by the rolls at dinner. You want those rolls an arms length away at all times. Just like when people start breaking out the "how's school?", "who'd you vote for?", and "why don't you have a significant other?" questions you're gonna wanna have your Lambda best friend to ease some tention. Or you could just shove a roll in your mouth.
AD (pumpkin) Pi! Our ADPi girls are sweet and unique just like a delicious pumpkin pie. Of course there's pecan and cherry and whatever the else, but nothing is as special on Thanksgiving as pumpkin pie! Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie is like Beyonce without slaying, it just doesn't happen.
The only golden arches better than McDonalds. If you family hasn't jumped on the Thanksgiving macaroni train, what the heck are they thinking? Just like if you haven't been hanging around the Pike house, what are you doing? These guys are fun loving and have hearts like gold (similar to the color of cheese.)

Re: TIME
We believe you are looking for the "Clock Widget". The clock widget, along with other cool widgets can be found to the right of your app drawer.Dragonstick wrote: Had to reinstall all can some one tell how to bring the time back on the home page?
So... press the "six pack" (the six icons on the upper left of your main menu) and you'll enter the app drawer. Here you will see all apps currently installed and arranged alphabetically. Continue to swipe past all of your apps and you'll start to see widgets. We include all kinds of cool widgets from music players to clocks so check 'em out! When you find one you like, simply hold it down and drag it where you want on your main screen.
It's also worth noting that you can add different widgets to your home page in addition to the ones we provide. Check the Google Play store. There are probably thousands of different clock widgets if you want something to look or behave a little differently then the ones we provide.
Have fun!

Immunotherapy-based combination approaches are changing the standard of care for certain patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Dr. Sara Hurvitz and Dr. Tiffany Traina are here to discuss these advances in treatment and what they mean for patient care.

Emerging Considerations in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Focus on Immunotherapy
You're listening to CME on ReachMD.
This activity, titled "Emerging Considerations in Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Focus on Immunotherapy," is provided in partnership with Prova Education and is supported by an independent educational grant from Genentech, Inc.
Before starting this activity, please be sure to review the disclosure statements as well as the learning objectives.
Dr. Mencia:
Not only is triple negative breast cancer associated with a poor prognosis and short survival, but its management has been challenging due to the significant toxicities of standard chemotherapy and a lack of proven targeted therapies. Fortunately, recent clinical trials looking at immunotherapy-based combination approaches are showing promise and are changing the standard of care for patients with TNBC.
This is CME on ReachMD, and I'm Dr. William Mencia. Joining me to discuss the potential role of immunotherapy in patients with triple negative breast cancer are Dr. Sara Hurvitz and Dr. Tiffany Traina. Dr. Hurvitz is a medical oncologist at UCLA Health's integrative breast cancer practice and high-risk breast cancer clinic, and Dr. Traina is [Clinical Director of Breast Medicine Service at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center].
Welcome to you both.
Dr. Hurvitz:
Hi there. I'm really happy to be here. Thanks for having me.
Dr. Traina:
Hi. I'm looking forward to our time together.
Dr. Mencia:
Dr. Traina, up until now we've been defining triple negative breast cancer by what it's lacking, namely lacking the presence of HER2, estrogen receptor or progesterone receptor. However, we are seeing more and more data emerging regarding the molecular heterogeneity of these types of cancer. What can you tell us about the molecular heterogeneity of these tumors, and as we continue to learn more about this, what are the implications of these findings in terms of treatment?
Dr. Traina:
I think that's a great question. We've been defining this class of cancers based on what it's lacking, and I think what we're going to see in the coming years instead is defining advanced breast cancer by what its important driver is. So, I think, for the time being, there are really three main classifications that we consider for the discussion of what is triple-negative breast cancer. One being it's important to know a patient's germline BRCA mutation status. The second category that I think would be very important is to understand tumor somatic gene alterations that a cancer may have to explain what its drivers are, and third, an area that is still very much in research, would be to try to understand the presence of the androgen receptor in triple-negative breast cancer, as there is a small subset of TNBC which may have a very luminal signature and a hormonal expression profile associated with it. So, if we take those in order, a patient's germline BRCA mutation status is an actionable piece of information to have today, and that's as a result of two trials that have led to the FDA approval of PARP inhibitors for women with HER2-normal, germline BRCA1 or 2-associated advanced breast cancer, where we've seen progression-free survival with drugs like olaparib and talazoparib on the order of about 40-50% improved over treatment of physician's choice for women who have a triple-negative breast cancer associated with a germline BRCA1 or 2 pathogenic mutation. Outside of germline mutations, somatic tumor mutations that may be actionable include those in the PI3-kinase, AKT or PTEN pathways, and there have been two interesting phase 2 studies looking at AKT inhibitors in the first-line setting for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer that have alterations in these pathways, and there are ongoing phase 3 studies looking at two of those agents, ipatasertib and capivasertib. And then, lastly, I would touch on another interesting agent that is related to NTRK mutations in basket – in a Basket Study, looking at many solid tumors, both pediatric and adult. Now, these mutations are rare in breast cancer. They account for less than a percent. However, in the study, and in a series that looked at thousands of advanced breast cancer tumors, although less than 1% have these NTRK mutations, about two-thirds of those were triple-negative breast cancers, and so I think this is yet another thing we need on our radar to understand what is the molecular driver of this breast cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer, in and of itself, is, I think, a poor definition that we will see evolve over the next few years.
Dr. Mencia:
So, to help focus our discussion, let's contextualize these concepts in the form of a typical clinical scenario. MB is a 35-year-old, African-American woman who has been diagnosed with metastatic triple negative breast cancer. She has sentinel node involvement and scans show lesions on her liver. Dr. Hurvitz, in the past we would be considering chemotherapy. But with what we know about the molecular heterogeneity of TNBC, what additional testing would you recommend?
Dr. Hurvitz:
Yes, clearly, for this 35-year-old woman, I think that she deserves to have both BRCA1 and 2 germline testing performed as well as have her tumor-immune cells tested for PD-L1 expression. This is because we have the availability now of two targeted agents for these situations respectively. PARP inhibitors, if she's a carrier of a germline BRCA mutation, and atezolizumab in combination with taxane if she is found to have tumor-immune cell positivity for PD-L1. So, all of my patients in the front-line setting with triple-negative metastatic breast cancer will have both of these tests done. In terms of PD-L1 testing, it's a little bit complicated and it bears taking a bit of time to explain that when we send out the tumor test, we need to make sure that we are requesting tumor immune cell PD-L1 expression, using the SP142 assay. This is important because I've seen patients in my practice who've been told by their oncologist, you don't have tumor PD-L1 positivity, so you're not a candidate for atezolizumab, but they didn't have the tumor immune cells tested, it was just the tumor or a different antibody was used. And so, I think we have to make sure that the lab we are using utilizes the correct probe and also is testing the tumor immune cells so that we don't miss patients who might be a good candidate for immune therapy. The other point I'd bring up is that PD-L1 testing I'm doing not only in the frontline patients but also later-line patients. Now, atezolizumab was evaluated in the Impassion 130 study in the front-line settings. So, if we're following the way the clinical trial was done, we would use atezolizumab in the front-line setting. That said, there are a number of clinical trials ongoing for patients who have tumor immune cells showing PD-L1 positivity or tumor positivity, so I do think that testing our patients and knowing what their tumor is like is important as we are putting together our plans for treatment, not only now but in the future.
Dr. Traina:
And there is some differential PD-L1 expression in sight of metastatic disease where organs like lymph nodes, soft tissue, breast, appear to have higher PD-L1 expression, but in organs such as the liver may have much lower representation of PD-L1 positivity. Also, it's difficult, if not impossible, to do the PD-L1 testing on a fine needle aspirate or a bone biopsy. So, being aware of that may also help guide what location we would biopsy for PD-L1 testing.
Dr. Hurvitz:
I think those are great points that you've brought up, Tiffany, and I think it's also a really exciting time because we're now beginning to see new data emerge in the curative setting. The KEYNOTE-173 trial was a six-cohort neoadjuvant study where patients received pembrolizumab with a variety of different chemotherapy combinations, either taxane alone followed by anthracycline, or taxane platinum followed by anthracycline-based therapy, and a pathologic complete response rate in that study was around 60%. Of course, as we've seen in multiple neoadjuvant trials of triple-negative breast cancer, those patients who achieved a pathologic complete response had the best event-free survival. And then, most recently, at ESMO 2019, the results of the KEYNOTE-522 trial were presented by Dr. Schmid, showing that the addition of pembrolizumab to taxane platinum followed by AC or EC neoadjuvant chemotherapy led to a significantly improved pathologic complete response rate compared to those who did not have immune therapy. What is surprising is in contrast to the data in IMpassion in the metastatic setting where the benefit was pretty much exclusively seen in those with tumor PD-L1 positive expression, in the KEYNOTE-522 with pembrolizumab, the benefits, or the objective response rate improvement was seen regardless of whether the tumor was PD-L1 positive. So, this brings up a question. Should we, or will we, be using pembrolizumab for those patients regardless of PD-L1 expression, and will there be a regulatory approval of this agent in the curative setting soon? The event-free survival were too early to show a difference, but it was trending in the right direction, so I'm personally very intrigued by these data but also hope that we will have biomarkers that will help inform where these agents should be used. I'm not yet convinced that it should be every patient with triple-negative breast cancer, but it might be for some of these immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Dr. Mencia:
Dr. Hurvitz, you mentioned KEYNOTE-522 earlier, and you've both brought up IMpassion 130, and the possibilities of using immunotherapy regardless of PD-L1 status. So if we add some additional parameters to our patient's tumor, and we make MB's TNBC PD-L1 negative. Based on what we know today, how would you approach treatment planning if her tumor was PD-L1 negative?
Dr. Hurvitz:
This is a really good question to ask because the only data that we have to support the use of immune therapy as standard of care in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer comes from the IMpassion 130 study, and in that clinical trial, the progression-free survival trended toward a benefit in the intent-to-treat population, but was statistically significant only in the PD-L1 positive population. Moreover, while the overall survival did not show a statistically significant improvement in the intent-to-treat population, the P-value was about 0.07, and the benefit with atezolizumab was only around two months. In the PD-L1 positive population, you now see a highly statistically significant improvement in overall survival on the order of seven months. So, I think if my patient is tested and her tumor is clearly PD-L1 negative, I would not recommend atezolizumab for her. Although this is a therapy that is tolerated reasonably well, there are serious adverse events that are immune related that need to be considered, and so I wouldn't use this in an off-label approach in a patient without PD-L1 expression. Instead, I would, again, look for BRCA- or 2 mutation in this young woman with triple-negative breast cancer and offer her a PARP inhibitor if she has a germ-line mutation. I would consider doing Next generation sequencing to look for the rarer mutations, microsatellite instability, or mismatch repair deficiency, which would indicate that a drug such as pembrolizumab might be useful. PIK3CA mutation, if I saw that, I would be interested in referring her for a clinical trial of the PI3-kinase inhibitor, and as Tiffany mentioned earlier, NTRK mutation, which is rare, but if it's seen, we now have the ability of a targeted agent. So, clinical trials would be my approach to move forward, and sometimes we can't find a clinical trial for our patient, in which case I would utilize chemotherapy.
Dr. Mencia:
Let's come back to our patient, MB. Dr. Traina, let's change the parameters of this case one more time, and in this scenario let's say that her tumor is both BRCA and PL-L1 positive? What factors would you take into consideration in determining first-line therapy and how would you recommend sequencing therapy appropriately here between the PARP inhibitors and immunotherapy?
Dr. Traina:
That's a fantastic conundrum to have, to have more than one biomarker with a targeted therapy that's predicted to be of benefit. The short answer is we don't know just yet. What we can glean from the IMpassion data is that there were about 7% of patients that had both co-expression of PD-L1 and either a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, and in the IMpassion trial, BRCA alteration had no predictive value for the addition of atezolizumab. So, clearly, the benefit of atezo comes from having PD-L1 positive expression by SP142. So, what we're faced with is data from IMpassion that would suggest using a checkpoint inhibitor in the first-line setting might have an overall survival advantage in the PD-L1 positive subset. Recall Sarah just mentioned that the overall survival difference – the magnitude was about seven months, although that did not have the statistical power to show significance. On the other hand, we have data from the OlympiAD and EMBRACA trials showing a benefit from PARP inhibitors in the setting of medium progression-free survival prolongation. There was a presentation at AACR a year ago by Mark Robson showing in the subset of patients on the OlympiAD study who were treated with olaparib in the first-line setting, there appeared to be an overall survival advantage. So, we're stuck with balancing compelling evidence to use both of these agents in the first-line setting, and what I'd love to see shortly are the results of trials looking at the combination of PARP inhibitors and checkpoint inhibitors. So, rather than needing to choose one over the other, perhaps we'll see the greatest benefit coming from these doublets in a chemotherapy-free approach. Today, though, with the data we have, I think this is a very personalized discussion.
Dr. Mencia:
Those are great messages for our audience to keep in mind as we wrap up our discussion today, and I'd like to thank my guests, Drs. Sara Hurvitz and Tiffany Traina for helping us better understand the emerging role of immunotherapies in triple negative breast cancer.
It was great speaking with both of you today.

For this activity, you will need to turn to the poem 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which can be found in the Power and Conflict section of your Anthology.
Tennyson wrote 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' after reading a newspaper report about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854.
On the 25th October 1854, 670 cavalrymen and officers were given a badly judged order to attack Russian troops who were armed with cannons. Tennyson relates how the cavalry (the 'Light Brigade') attacked, showing heroic bravery and discipline, despite the other side surrounding them with cannons. They failed to defeat the gunners and were forced to retreat, losing more than two hundred men killed outright, wounded or captured
In the following questions, you will be asked to evaluate the language devices used in the poem.
