Home is where the nappies/dippers dry, where we eat and sleep, where I have a comfy chair for knitting and nursing Jimmy, where I display collected pine cones because we need some sort of decorations, where books collect, and where cups of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are consumed throughout the day. This place is starting to feel like home, and nothing says that better than Jimmy happy to sleep on his own.

"a portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2014"
Jimmy: reading an old favourite, Mem Fox's "Where is the Green Sheep?", that came in a care package from Granny and Pop (because Mumma and Dada were silly and didn't bring enough books for their avid reader).
It also has the Spanish translation, along side the original English, which is pretty cool. The edition of Ellen Stoll Walsh's "Mouse Paint" is the same. But the best thing of all was seeing Jimmy's face light up with recognition as I read him "Where is the Green Sheep?" for the first time in weeks. He also recognised Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", but he was looking for the finger puppet (quite cute).
And as we have internet at home (yay!), I'll fill you in on settling in and spring etc. over the coming weeks.

"a portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2014"
Jimmy: going "ah-warble, warble, warble" with Daddy. We're not sure, but we think he thinks he's taught us how to do it.
This week has been about rest and settling into our new home and routines. More later, but basically we're getting there: Michael is getting into the swing of things at work; Jimmy and I are getting our heads around being without Michael during the day; and we're still without internet at home, but soon, soon. And little by little our apartment is starting to feel like home.

"a portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2014"
Jimmy: looking out onto our new balcony and the blossoming tree just outside.
We have arrived in Manhattan, KS, and moved into our apartment. This last week has been spent traveling (Brisbane-Sydney-Dallas-Manhattan), trying to locate a suitcase, opening a bank account, picking up keys and inspecting our new home, having the misplaced suitcase delivered to our new home, shopping for the bare minimum of household items, finding the local shops, finding Kansas State University (K-State) and Michael's new building, working out how to deal with a drying north wind and central heating, getting US phone numbers, and recovering from all of the above.
We feel settled in our new home, even though we're still short on a few things (home internet, dining table etc and high chair being the priorities), and while some things are still ongoing processes (dealing with the new climate and recovery mostly), I think I can say that we like it here. Arriving at the start of spring, when flowers are starting to bloom, is probably good timing.

"a portrait of my son, once a week, every week of 2014"
Jimmy holds on to his teething ring, while his aunty (and my little sister) holds on to him.
We're flying to Manhattan, KS, tomorrow after enjoying a few weeks at my parents place, ending with birthday celebrations for my Mum, who has reached a significant milestone. We surprised her by successfully arranging for her in-country siblings to visit. It's been a lovely weekend filled with family, laughter, lots and lots of food, and a few tears. This photo was taken just before the birthday breakfast, which Jimmy enjoyed eating and wearing. Photos of the breakfast will come later. Happy weekend and we'll see you when we're on the other side of the world.

I was married...
Because, sometimes, six years of loving each other, living together, and a child together is not always enough... and because it can be nice to get together with family and friends and celebrate being together, even if the whole thing required a catalyst...
My mum insisted on bubbles, because they were allowed at the registry chapel.
And then we had high tea, because it was a good idea (and it turned out to be very delicious and fun).

Recently, at the Toronto International Film Festival, while viewing some of the most high-profile, innovative, and challenging films of the year, I was somehow compelled to attend a screening of a little movie called The Moth Diaries, scheduled alongside some of the most anticipated and critically acclaimed releases of 2011.
I won't beat around the bush. Instead, I will make a simple statement now to give rest of what is written here some context. I wouldn't want any reader to believe my statements are hyperbole or farcical parody. There is no irony or sarcasm here, no attempt at satire. You're going to hear about this movie sooner or later, if only because so much money has obviously been sunk into it that it has to find some poor sucker of a distributor and leech out into the world. When you do, I want you to at least be armed with this small fact:
The Moth Diaries is the worst film I have ever seen.
Most avid moviegoers will say this phrase at least once a year, and I count myself no exception. You'll watch a Mr. Popper's Penguins or an Insidious and you'll say, "That was the worst movie I've ever seen." It's fun to do, it puts the offending film into a category of judgment, and has come to mean, over the years, nothing more than, "I really didn't like it."
But no. I have never seen a film worse than this. I have seen terrible, terrible movies. Movies that never should have been made. Movies that no one should have ever considered making. But this Moth Diaries, this atrocity, was the absolute worst experience I have ever had in a movie theater, and I saw Battlefield Earth in a theater occupied by a live, rabid raccoon.
Perhaps the synopsis compelled me to give it a chance. Certainly no one forced me to watch the film. The basic premise is a new student at an all-girls school is acting peculiar, and one scrappy pupil begins to suspect the newcomer may be a vampire. As she investigates, a series of strange occurrences strengthen her case, and threaten the well-being of her and her close circle of friends. Fine. Good enough. Even now I would happily watch that movie, knowing what awaits me. There's something about the premise that is satisfying to me, and it's apparently an adaptation of a fairly popular young-adult novel. Lord knows those have been doing well lately.
What unfolded was the most ill-conceived attempt to cash in on the recent success of the Twilight series and Harry Potter adaptations since Vampire Werewolf Magic Academy 3: The Howlenator, which is an awful movie I just made up, stars Dolph Lundgren as an angsty teenage mummy, and is still, somehow, better than The Moth Diaries.
The film spends a lot of time with a group of teenage girls attending a private boarding school and spends far too little time attempting to employ any kind of realistic dialogue between them. They are depicted as being capricious and using drugs, and dancing in circles alone in their rooms. Sloppy and ham-fisted attempts at slang are inserted at random like a 50-year-old screenwriter attempting to pound a square dollar-value into a round paycheck. If the script took longer than a week to adapt from the novel, whatever the quality of the original work, I would have to assume the screenwriter took a nap in between each sentence, and typed using only two fingers on one hand, to preserve the remainig digits for future revisions.
It seems the director, Mary Harron, has been attempting to regain some of the lost thunder from her previous adapted film, American Psycho, by flinging herself haphazardly toward whatever project seems the most controversial in the treatment, but after seeing this film one can't help but wonder what stars aligned, what blissful serendipity allowed that cult hit to slip through the fingers of someone who clearly has no concept of story, character, or self-control. At no point during the production did she say any of the following:
"Yes, Lily Cole is a supermodel, in the most tenuous sense of the word. Yes, she has been on magazines. But no, that does not qualify her to play the brooding, treacherous, poorly-named 'Ernessa,' the neophyte-cum-vampire in my modern gothic tragedy. If anything, after a quick Google search, she seems to better qualify for the starring role in the next Chucky."
"Yes, the blood looks great when it is sparingly dripping on the girl, but it is indiscernible from cranberry juice at any other point during this scene we've obviously cribbed from Carrie. Do we have anything thicker? Perhaps we could bleed a couple of the extras and make do with that?"
"What do you mean this film actually doesn't have any vampires?!"
No. Rather, she glossed over mistake after misstep after delusion, quietly sitting in the corner on set and... what? Counting the money? I'll admit, if the film has anything going for it, it's a high level of production value. There were obviously backers here; it was not produced on a shoestring budget. If anything, it makes it worse. The cinematography is of such quality that the terrible acting, the abysmal writing, and the pervasively downright laughable effects are that much more insulting to the viewer. There is a recurring theme involving a CGI luna moth that... I mean, I can't even describe the level of apathy that must have gone into its production. They would have been better off using an origami birthday napkin on a string. The makers of this film routinely made terrible decisions throughout its production, and not once did any of them simply stand up and say, "Hey, listen everyone. This thing is pretty terrible. We're going to have to stop for a while and at least figure out what's wrong before we continue. Otherwise... everybody's fired. Especially me."
Normally I don't go out of my way to view "bad" movies. There is a large contingent of movie-lovers out there who watch Manos: The Hands of Fate, and genuinely enjoy the experience, but I find it difficult to do that and still have a good time. I have a good time watching good movies. I don't like watching old monster flicks and terrible kung-fu dubs. There are too many fantastic films out there I haven't seen yet to waste my time on irony. Normally, I wouldn't tell someone to watch a film just because it was, "soooo bad!" But I want everyone to see this film. Please, if only for my sake. You see, I'm carrying this burden alone. No one has seen this thing, and I can't fully convey how truly, truly abhorrent it is to anyone who has not experienced this unique and dismal horror.
I also can't explain how completely offended I was by a film of such absolute terrible quality playing at the Toronto International Film Festival, one of the preeminent festivals in the world. After the theater let out, as I was walking the streets of an unfamiliar city, I found myself quietly mumbling under my breath, ranting to myself, dissecting every detail of the film, attempting to tease out any saving grace, and furious at whatever dark entities had allowed this aberration into existence to begin with. I was powerless, and yet felt they should pay.
Waiting in line for the next film I was to see, TIFF projected live tweets from attending critics and friends of the festival on a nearby wall. As I watched, a single line, unfinished, scrolled briefly past and away from view:
"The Moth Diaries: Absolutely one of the worst films I have ever..."
Well. At least I know they meant it.

Ten years ago this month the ' ULSTER WORKERS COUNCIL' strike brought down the power-sharing executive of BRIAN FAULKNER and GERRY FITT .
ANDY POLLAK talks to UDA leader ANDY TYRIE , one of the men behind the 1974 work stoppage , and GEORGE SEAWRIGHT , one of the new breed of hard-line Loyalist spokesmen , about the outlook for Northern Ireland's (sic) Protestants in the 1980's .
From ' FORTNIGHT ' magazine , May 1984 .
Andy Tyrie (UDA) says the Protestant paramilitaries ... "...have been seen as pretty inefficient and I think those people hope to try to change that by attacking high-profile members of the Republican Movement . " It is generally believed that the 'Ulster (sic) Freedom Fighters' (UFF) is an organisation made up of UDA members .
At the end of the interview Tyrie is still insisting he is an optimist - he still hopes that the 'Official Unionist Party' will go back into the Assembly . He clearly wants to believe that there is some way in which the ultimate sectarian confrontation can be avoided , the UDA can be put out to grass , and the politicians can find some basis for agreement : " Most people who live in the North don't want to slaughter each other .
But because they're conditioned they are inclined to build more efficient armies , more efficient 'anti-each-other' machines . I have watched people over the years trying to perfect their war machines , their machines for a 'Doomsday' situation .
But I have also seen people , when they do perfect these things , look for the alternative - to live together and work together . " (' 1169 ... ' Comment - It has always been possible for us here on this island to "live and work together ... " : but not under the present constitutional 'arrangement' - any other country that laboured with a part of its territory under the jurisdictional control of a foreign country would suffer the same 'troubles' as Ireland is . There is only one solution - a complete British military and political withdrawal from this island . Anything else will just 'manage' the issue in the short term (as our history has shown us) - the occupation must end , politically and militarily , to 'solve' the issue .)
[END of ' PREPARING THE DEFENCE OF ULSTER LOYALISM '.]
(Monday , 15 August - 'The Inevitability of Sectarian Collision ' - by George Seawright , DUP . From 1984 .)
The Sinn Fein electoral wagon is slowing down . As a result , the IRA is likely to begin stepping up its war against the Northern State . GENE KERRIGAN reports from Belfast and also interviews Sinn Fein's DANNY MORRISON on the party's recent successes and failures .
From ' MAGILL ' magazine , September 1984.
Danny Morrison , Director of Publicity for Sinn Fein , interviewed -
DM : " Another explanation for John Hume's large vote is that the Alliance Party absolutely and totally collapsed . Will that vote go back to Alliance in the local government elections ? It's obvious that sections of the Catholic nationalist middle class , clearly perceiving the SDLP to be in trouble - and we probably hyped it up and actually created the motivation for them to cross from the Alliance to Hume - and the fantastic machine that we had ; I mean , I have no doubt that we actually drove SDLP voters to the polls on June 14 ! (' 1169 ... ' Comment - to knowingly physically assist others to vote against you and then class yourself as "fantastic... " for doing so ... ?)
John Hume got a big vote . Now , why did we get a reduced vote ? The unpalatable things are that perhaps it's not entirely possible to totally harmonise the relationship between armed struggle and electoral politics (' 1169 ... ' Comment - ...as has been proved in July last - despite what the same Danny Morrision once said re carrying on the struggle "..with an armalite in one hand and a ballot box in the other .. " : both well-manicured hands now reach for the ballot box only , when dealing with Westminster or the Free Staters . The 'armalite' will be reserved for Republicans who have not surrendered . ) . And the one thing I have to emphasise , that all Republicans are united on , is that electoral politics will not remove the British from Ireland . Only armed struggle will do that . (My emphasis - Sharon : when Morrison made that remark (1984) Westminster claimed jurisdiction over six Irish counties - now (2005) Westminster still claimsjurisdiction over those same six Irish counties . Westminster has not changed regarding that jurisdictional claim - rather , Morrison and Provisional Sinn Fein have changed . They are now a Six County version of Fianna Fail - trading on the slight smell of sulphur that comes from them ....)
If the IRA was an absolutely huge well-armed guerilla army there would probably be no need for electoral politics . Because in most revolutionary struggles going to the ballot box takes place at the conclusion , the successful conclusion , of the armed struggle - as for example with the 'Patriotic Front' in Zimbabwe - rather than in the middle of the guerilla war , as is experimentally happening with the Republican Movement in the Six Counties ....... " (' 1169 ... ' Comment - "...experimentally.. " ? You mean as de Valera 'experimented' in 1926 ? And as Tomas MacGiolla 'experimented' in 1969/'70 ? And what were the results of their 'experiments' , Danny ..... ?)
The Evelyn Glenholmes affair not only involved unlawful activity by gardai , it stemmed from the chaotic condition of the force which has resulted from ignoring the warning signs of the past decade .
By Gene Kerrigan.
First published in ' MAGILL ' magazine , April 1986 .
In the wake of the chaos in Prince's Street , Dublin , both the ' Irish Press' newspaper and Charles Haughey called for the resignation of the State Minister for Justice , Alan Dukes : this was knee-jerk reaction , pure silliness , given that Dukes is not a wet day in the job and cannot be held responsible for the chaos which has grown over the past decade .
Only if Alan Dukes follows the custom of expediency , of finding individual scapegoats rather than assessing the state of a garda force in which large numbers of gardai feel themselves entitled to commit offences in pursuit of political aims , albeit the political aims of the government - only then could there be a legitimate call for his resignation .

The Sindh government has imposed a ban on pillion riding in Karachi and other divisions of the province in line with the security arrangements for Chehlum of Imam Hussain on Tuesday, read a notification issued by the provincial home secretary.
It has also forwarded recommendations to the federal government for suspension of mobile and internet services in the metropolis and other major cities of the province on the main routes of processions, according to officials and notifications issued to this effect.
Pillion riding has been banned in Karachi on October 30 (Tuesday only) while in Hyderabad, Shaheed Benazirabad, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur and Larkana divisions, pillion riding has been banned for five days — from October 29 (Monday) to November 2 (Friday).
The ban shall not be applicable to women, children below the age of 12 years, senior citizens, journalists, law enforcement personnel in uniforms and employees of essential services.
The Sindh government officials said that this ban has been imposed in light of recommendations by Sindh Inspector General Police (IGP) Dr Syed Kaleem Imam, who has mentioned that intensive religious activities will be held in all areas of Karachi and other ranges of the province.
Therefore, in view of the ongoing operation against terrorist organisations and perceived threat on the occasion of Chehlum, the provincial police chief has recommended the imposition of a ban on pillion riding in Karachi and other major cities of the province.
Suspension of mobile, internet services
Separately, the Sindh home department has written a letter to the federal interior secretary and the PTA chairman to suspend mobile and internet services in Karachi, Hyderabad, Shaheed Benazirabad, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur and Larkana divisions along the routes of the procession.
This has also been suggested on the recommendation of the Sindh IGP.
For Karachi, it has been recommended to suspend mobile services on October 30 from 10am to 8pm along the route of the procession, namely from Nishter Park in Soldier Bazaar to Hussanian Iranian Imambargah in Kharadar.
For Hyderabad district, suspension of mobile services has been recommended from 8am to 10pm in Hyderabad station road and Saddar area on Tuesday. Moreover, for Sukkur district from 12pm to midnight from Fojdari Chowk to Kasai Mohalla Sukkur, for Khairpur district from 8am to 8pm from Kharipur city to Piryalo City, for Jacobabad district from 8am to 10pm in Jacobabad city, Thul city and Ghari Khero.
However, for Shikarpur district, it has been recommended to ban mobile phone and internet service in the whole district from 8am to 10pm, as the entire district was termed as 'sensitive'.
The provincial government has urged the federal government "to suspend all kinds of cellular GPRS communication services, mobile services, and internet in the areas mentioned above in order to facilitate the police and law enforcement agencies to maintain law and order".
However, in case of any incident or emergency, mobile phone companies may be directed to restore the facility immediately on request of the Sindh home department.
5311 policemen to be deployed
According to the police spokesperson, 5,311 policemen would be deployed for the provision of security to the main Chehlum processions in the city on October 30.
IGP Imam has directed all deputy inspector generals to take extraordinary security measures to maintain law and order in coordination with Rangers and other law enforcement agencies.


text: I don't understand (better: I don't want to understand) why it is ok for a company to violate laws and regulations for more than ten years and only get fined a tiny amount which they gain tenfold in less than a day. This is not ok. Why do companies do that? Why can't governments actually fine them? Why doesn't Google have to pay a 50 billion Euro penalty? If a company – any! company – has more money than probably the majority of countries in the world, they have a responsibility. And that's not a responsibility for their "shareholders". I also don't understand why their customers and users don't give a crap about it. Why do they support these companies and their horrible public behavior? Sometimes I question how I can continue to work in this industry. I continue to value more and more to work for a company that's actually trying to act well and do good things. There's probably not everything coated in gold as well. But at the very least it's not evil like Google, Facebook et.al.

Every day is now Mother's Day for Korina Sanchez
MANILA, Philippines — She had wanted children for so long; perhaps they were the only blessing lacking in her charmed life.
Blessed with a career studded with accolades, Korina Sanchez also married the love of her life Mar Roxas — a prince in his own right — in a fairytale wedding almost 10 years ago.
And now, in her midlife, she surprised everybody by living her best life, and looking her best yet, appearing in Belo billboards that highlighted the change in her. It is said that the Belo clinic had walk-in clients who simply told the reception desk: "I want a Korina."

And then, on Feb. 12 this year, the twin blessings she had been waiting for arrived. Actually, she reveals, her husband wanted triplets!
"Maybe, finally, my North Star has shone. Whatever it is, Pepe and Pilar are my destination," Korina tells Allure in an exclusive interview.
With the blur of diaper changes and vaccinations; sleepless nights and the worries that descend upon every parent — from the slightest hiccup to a colicky stomach — also came a "sudden clarity" to the brand-new mother.
"Suddenly life and the world aren't as complicated, like there is now a simplicity in the definition of things," says the broadcast journalist.
The twins' kuya, Paolo. Photo by KRIZJOHN ROSALES
And this is how the new mom sees things now, with the lens that motherhood has bestowed upon her.
Allure: How have your feelings, love and appreciation for your husband changed since you both became parents together?
Korina: I didn't understand then what women meant when they said there is a deeper commitment to and respect for a partner when you get married. Until I married. And now, the relationship has palpably morphed into "family" mode. We are a unit, hahaha! So this is now a team. Mar and I need to be co-team leaders with Paolo, Pepe, Pilar and our pet dogs.
Mar is amazing. He wanted triplets, would you believe? He is all gushy about the babies and lives for the now, at the same time thinking 20 years down the road. We love each other and value each other more now for obvious reasons.
Allure: Please complete this sentence as many times as you feel: "It's never too late" for...
'They say your children will tell you what to do next, and you'll know what to do next.'www.instagram.com/korina
Korina: For starting. For change. For beginnings. For getting strong and healthy. For a new project. For your very own baby shower, hahaha!
Allure: What was Paolo's reaction to the arrival of his siblings?
Korina: Paolo was one of the very few we told about the arrival of the kids ahead of everyone else. Paolo has been an only child of his parents for all his life till now. He is a really cerebral, but compassionate, person. I love Paolo. We talk. And he was very loving to Pepe and Pilar when we were with him in the US and he came to meet them. Mar jokes about his pact with his son. Paolo actually agreed not to get married until Pepe and Pilar have completed college. Hahaha!
Allure: How are you preparing for the life ahead for the twins as they have come in your midlife — I know you're a planner.
Korina: Well, one big part of that is a health and wellness program for both Mar and myself. We have to live long for Pepe and Pilar. We already are into health and fitness but maybe a 2.0 program is in order.
Korina (left) and siblings Milano, EG and Mickey with parents Ramon and Celia. "My mom was an interior designer, cooked so well, always looked good, and then went back to school towards her sixties."
Another part is downloading to a few trusted younger people about how we would want Pepe and Pilar carrying on after us, in case anything happens. This is serious business.
But for the immediate future, I don't really want to over plan. They say your children will tell you what to do next, and you'll know what to do next. I just want to open up all possibilities for them and they'll tell me what they need.
Allure: What is the best legacy you can give your children?
Korina: The best legacy is our humanity. It is very clear to us as parents that if there's anything we've learned so far in our more than 50 years of life is that its definition lies in our hearts. Your brain should ably guide you through applying what the heart dictates. My children should know that the reason they are on earth is to make this a better place than when they found it. A life for others. Only then can you truly be happy, when you are able to help other people. And I want my kids to be happy people.
A young Mar (right) with parents Judy and Gerry Roxas and siblings Dinggoy and Ria. "My mom-in-law Judy lived through a war, and raised three children amidst the harrowing backdrop of politics as the perfect political wife."
Allure: What characteristics of your mom Celia and your mother-in-law Judy would you like to emulate as a mother?
Korina: Both my mom Celia and mom-in-law Judy are strong women. My mother Celia was the eldest in a family of meager means but was determined, talented and intelligent. She helped put her siblings through school. She was one of the earliest of the OFWs in Hong Kong in the '60s, where she sang professionally, and where she met my dad. She became president of her own flourishing company back in Manila and gave us, her kids, the best of most things. She was an interior designer, cooked so well, always looked good, and then went back to school towards her sixties. Ang galing niya.
My mom-in-law Judy lived through a war, worked with her father, raised three children amidst the harrowing backdrop of politics as the perfect political wife. She survived the Plaza Miranda bombing, the untimely death of her husband former Sen. Gerry Roxas and had to bury her own son congressman Dinggoy Roxas. Still she is quiet, calm, regal through it all. To this day in her eighties, she heartily laughs at Mar's corny jokes and goes to work every day. Galing.
These say it all. I would like to be all of these to my kids and serve as an example to my own daughter.

Over the decades, finding a truly useful objective diagnostic test in psychiatry has proven both elusive and frustrating.
The latest candidate is a device called the NEBA system, which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July of 2013. NEBA stands for Neuropsychiatric EEG-Based Assessment Aid for ADHD, and the FDA has allowed it to be marketed as a "confirmatory" test for the diagnosis of ADHD in children ages 6 to 17. It is a 20-minute procedure that can be done in the office and the out-of-pocket cost to patients is a maximum of $425, according to NEBA Health's website.
In this article, as in so many articles about the usefulness of diagnostic tests, you will encounter terms such as sensitivity and specificity—statistics that are meant to show how accurate a test is. But before we discuss the numbers, let's be clear about what such numbers can and cannot show you—by using the analogy of an apple.
If you pick up an apple, you would label it as an "apple" because you've seen so many of them in your life and you have high confidence in your ability to recognize them. Let's imagine that there's a new apple-recognizing device on the market called the "Apple Rec," which uses various technologies to measure the wavelength of light reflected by an object, its mathematical curvature, etc. The manufacturer provides impressive data showing that the Apple Rec has 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for diagnosing (recognizing) an object as being an apple. Given these dazzling statistics, would you buy the Apple Rec? No, because even though it's exquisitely accurate, it provides you with no useful diagnostic information beyond what you can obtain by looking at the apple your-self. However, if the Apple Rec provided you with added value, you might consider it a good investment. For example, if, in addition to correctly recognizing it as an apple, it also calculated its sweetness and crispness, the Apple Rec suddenly becomes a useful tool, because these are qualities that you would otherwise struggle to ascertain.
The apple principle applies to diagnostic tests in psychiatry. Before you refer your patients to an expensive test that diagnoses ADHD, you need to make sure that it does something that you can't easily do yourself. Keep that in mind as we look at the evidence for NEBA.
How EEGs Work
First, let's review some of the basics of EEGs. First developed in the 1920s, the electroencephalograph involves applying electrodes to the scalp's surface in order to visually examine brain waves. Brain waves are labeled according to their frequency. The faster frequency bands are associated with wakefulness, the lower frequency bands with relaxation or sleep. A good way to memorize the confusing names is to use the mnemonic BAT-D (progressing from most alert to most asleep):
• Beta (16 hz, or waves per second): Alert, intellectual activity
• Alpha (8-11 hz): Relaxed, daydreaming
• Theta (4-8 hz): Deep relaxation, meditation
• Delta (1-3 hz): Deep sleep
Researchers have been studying EEG for the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD for a surprisingly long time—over 40 years. Using a refinement of EEG called Quantitative EEG, or QEEG, a fairly consistent finding has been that ADHD is associated with more activity of theta waves and less activity of beta waves. This makes intuitive sense, if you think of ADHD as a disorder in which dreaminess (theta) takes precedence over focused mental activity (beta). In most studies, the so-called TBR—theta/beta ratio—is found to be higher in ADHD kids, but that's not always true. A recent study, in fact, compared 32 children and 22 adults with ADHD to matched healthy controls and found no evidence of increased theta activity (Liechti MD et al, Brain Topogr 2013;26(1):135-151). Nor is higher theta activity necessarily specific to ADHD, since studies have shown an association with bipolar disorder, polysubstance abuse, and epilepsy.
Regardless of these inconsistencies, NEBA claims that they have developed a system that helps clinicians diagnose ADHD by using the TBR. The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, but the FDA reviewed it and was impressed enough with the data to allow the test to be marketed. You can find all this data on the FDA website at http://Lusa.gov/1A5g05d.
The Study the FDA Looked At
NEBA Health, the Georgia-based company that won approval for the NEBA system, divided its study into two phases, called Study 1 and Study 2. First, in Study 1, they recruited 275 children and teenagers who presented with "attention and/ or behavioral concerns" to various mental health clinics throughout the US. All the patients were evaluated by clinicians via a comprehensive evaluation including an interview, various symptom scales, physical exams, and other testing as deemed necessary by the individual practitioners. In addition to the clinical evaluations, the subjects were given QEEGs via the NEBA system by separate investigators who were blinded to the clinical diagnosis. The original clinicians were blinded to the results of the EEG.
So far so good—we have the makings of a well-conducted comparison of a clinical diagnosis with an objective test. But here's where the study design got a little too complicated. Instead of using a real world diagnosis as the gold standard by which to judge the accuracy of the EEG, the researchers used a multidisciplinary team diagnosis as the gold standard. The team consisted of a clinical psychologist, a neurodevelopmental pediatrician, and a child psychiatrist, and they reviewed all the patient files created by the clinician. However, unlike the clinician, the team didn't actually see or talk to the patients.
Nonetheless, this once-removed team diagnosis was considered by researchers to be the gold standard by which the NEBA system would be judged, and was termed the "Best Estimate Diagnosis" or BED.

When was the last time you photocopied pages from a textbook? This is not uncommon, especially when only a part of the book is needed for study and the book seems highly priced. Photocopying is invariably the solution to the challenge of making study material available at low cost for students. University of Delhi is at the centre of a legal issue that is touching upon this very challenge — known as the Rameshwari Photocopy Case, this legal wrangle has engaged students, publishers, the university, and also the academicians. In August 2012 a trio of publishers, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and Taylor & Francis, filed a suit against Delhi University and Rameshwari photocopy services. Their claim is that the photocopied course-packs — bound sets of course material — sold by the shop violated the 1957 Indian Copyright Act by which the right to reproduce the material rests with the copyright holder. In October 2012, the court passed an injunction order that until the case was settled, Rameshwari photocopy services cannot supply any more course-packs to students.
This was when the students of Delhi University entered the fray. Association of Students for Equitable Access to Knowledge (ASEAK) was formed in November and the members got impleaded in the case in March as they felt their side also had to be heard. Their first move was to file an application for removing the injunction. Says Usman Jawed, vice president, ASEAK, and a student at the department of sociology, Delhi University, "The matter in the Court was between the publishers (plaintiffs) and Delhi University and Rameshwari (defendants), in the form of a civil suit. This gave it the shape of a private dispute between parties, whereas the matter was of larger public concern."
Matters of copyright
The publishers' spokesperson Mr. Sudhir Malhotra, President of Federation of Indian Publishers is unequivocal — that the blame rests on Rameshwari photocopy, who is "neither the creator nor the ultimate user of the content." He goes on to explain his solution, namely, that licenses be procured from the Indian Reprographic Rights Organisation (IRRO), by the institutions themselves which could then themselves do the photocopying and supplying of material to students. The annual fee, he points out is not going to cost more than Rs.10-15 per student.
To add to this, Emma House, Director of publisher relations, Publishers Association Limited says, "Purchasing a legitimately photocopied version of textbooks would not be more expensive than the books themselves. Publishers have always been in support of the creation of course packs, so long as these are created legally. Publishers support fair dealing, but cannot support the unlawful copying of work for wide dissemination and without remuneration without an appropriate licensing scheme, such as that provided by the IRRO. The IRRO offers a legitimate and accessible method for securing permissions, and offers copyright tariffs which are amongst the lowest in the world..."
The other side
According to this scheme, apart from the annual license fee, there would be a per page tariff to be given to the IRRO, 50 paise in the case of educational institutions, and what is more, there would be a limit to the amount that could be photocopied — 10 per cent or one chapter.
While this seems like a perfect solution from the publishers' point of view, the students feel that it would result almost in doubling up the cost they would incur. Worst affected will be those students from poorer backgrounds. Says Usman Jawed, "If a student were to buy all the books he/she needed, just to study a portion of each, they will end up spending around Rs. 60,000 on books. Course packs on the other hand, would cost around Rs. 6,000. This cost would more than double if the institution had to pay a tariff per page. Further, the limit of copying 10 per cent or one chapter is arbitrary."
Authors support
While the publishers are concerned about the author's right and their own profit margin being eaten into, several (309) authors supporting the students' right to photocopy have sent a letter to the publishers protesting that they cannot speak for all authors. They also say in the letter that since the royalties alone do not support the authors, many of whom are working in the colleges and universities, the publishers' profit is in fact subsidised by taxpayers.
"We will also have to think of alternate forms of publishing," says Amrapali Basumatary, Assistant Professor of English at Kirori Mal College of Delhi University. "It will be a huge investment of time, with teaching... But we will have to talk about it," she adds.
In a parallel development, the publishers point out that a few universities, including the Aligarh Muslim University and others, have entered into agreement with the publishers for procuring licenses for photocopying.
With the enrolment in higher education touching a mere 10 per cent, the challenges being faced by the Government are manifold. On the one hand the attempt is to ensure that there is adequate enrolment and that these students be given quality training to enable them compete for jobs internationally. On the other hand is the challenge of doing this equitably and ensure that all sectors of society get a fair access to knowledge and training. This case which is expected to have wide-ranging ramifications is surely an important aspect of this challenge.

Year Two Raid Bundle
Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the hassle of the Year Two raids? This raid bundle includes the Crown of Sorrow, Scourge of the Past, and Last Wish raids. We at Destiny Carries and LFG will boost your account and play through these raids for you, letting you gain access to all the loot that applies from such a success.
These raids are challenging and have requirements that are just the same. If you fit in the mold, don't pass up the chance to level up your Guardian with these Year Two raids.
If you are considering letting us at Destiny Carries and LFG playthrough these raids, make sure you meet the requirements beforehand. You must have unlocked the Crown of Sorrow raid for us to play it.
Your Power level needs to be at least 750 or more. As well, you'll need to have the Forsaken DLC if you don't already. What is presented in price only applies to one character, so if your account holds many, you may need to invest in a few, to level up each Guardian.
Crown of Sorrow
The Crown of Sorrow year two raid is found within the Season of Opulence. You will have to unlock this raid for our team to have the chance to beat it. To open this raid, you will need to complete the Power Surge quest from Benedict 99-40 in the Tower. The plus part of this quest is it unlocks the raid for your entire account, even if you have several characters.
The rewards that drop from this raid are at random, but we at Destiny Carries and LFG will guarantee you to receive all that is available. Choose a handful of Resets if you are seeking a hefty loot from these playthroughs. There is the chance of Bane of Sorrow, Emperor's Courtesy, or even Gahlran's Right Hand.

The Scourge of the Past takes place in the Last City on Earth. The goal with this raid is to defeat Insurrection Prime, leaving teams to reclaim parts of the city from the Fallen. It is recommended that to play your Guardian, have the Power of 640. With the requirements for this Bundle, you will need to be a bit above that.
Though this is a smaller cap, this raid is quite taxing. That is why we suggest leaving it to the professionals. Let us help you take a breather and reap all the benefits while doing so. It's a win-win.
Last Wish
The Last Wish raid is the second major raid of Destiny 2, taking place in the Forsaken expansion. The Last Wish raid is in the center of the Dreaming City, where you are preventing the Taken from overthrowing the homeland of the Awoken. Kalli sets the stage for this raid, being one of the first encounters.
This raid is met in the middle with Shuro Chi, the Corrupted. Both of these bosses are daunting to go against, so don't. Let Destiny Carries and LFG take care of this hassle for you.
The third boss, Morgeth, the Spirekeeper, is a large Taken Ogre. Your fireteam will struggle to make it past this part if you even succeed in doing so. With the Year Two Raids, we will complete this entire activity for you, yet leaving all the loot that is achieved.
Destiny Carries and LFG are here to help guide your Guardian through the trials and tribulations of this raid and the others alike. Don't let the strife of these battles weigh you down, get going with these playthroughs.
Moving Forward
If you have decided to move forward with this purchase, start by selecting the Recovery option. This selection will allow the team at Destiny Carries and LFG to access your account directly. With this option, you're syncing to our servers, letting us load your profile wit the progress from our playthroughs.
Next, select your platform; Windows, Play Station, or Xbox. Keep in mind to pick your most preferred console, as with the most updated Season, there is the option of Cross-Save. Cross-Save allows you to access your account on numerous different platforms to help create fluidity in gameplay. We only need your most consistent.
Then select your character type; Warlock, Titan, or Hunter. This parameter will give us the chance to prepare for action. Each character classification is a little different in effects and attacks, so it's essential to narrow it down to whichever your character of choice is.
There is the option of resets with this purchase, up to four. Keep in mind that each increment will alter the price; don't let that catch you off guard. These increments let us know how many playthroughs you want, boosting the amount of XP and rewards you will receive each time.
You are making a wise decision, working with Destiny Carries and LFG on these raids. Don't feel bogged down by the demands from Destiny 2; work with the professionals to get the job done right the first time.

Women's Rights 1920's
Women in the 1920's even though were progressing, were still not found to be unequal with the men. Women were not paid the same as men, they were not allowed to do some of the occupations men could do and in politics, women were still not seen as equal to men. Women were thought to be not a "person." The "Famous Five" challenged this though and ended up changing the lives of women immensely. War, alcohol, and many other factors affected the lives of women in the 1920's, some for the better and some for the worse. Women either struggled or flourished in this time, some maybe did both. Women started as being only seen not heard, but eventually, they were definitely heard.

What could be a better way to spend a summer night in Boston? A picnic on a field of green for sure! But how about the notorious field of green at Fenway Park? That would be a home run, right?! Then check out the Red Sox Picnic in the Park on Sunday, August 24, 2014 for the ultimate summer night.
The Red Sox Picnic in the Park is about one hour after the conclusion of the 1:35 game that day. As you know, baseball games run on their own time schedule so hence the lack of an exact time, but it should be around 5:30pm or so.
A general "Picnic in the Park" ticket includes a forty-five minute autograph session with Red Sox players in attendance (time restrictions may apply), BBQ dinner on Fenway's famous outfield, entertainment, goodie bag, and live auction of one-of-a-kind player-donated experiences. Some of the experiences include a 45 minute batting and base running lesson with Brock Holt, a meet and greet with David Ortiz, a walk-on role in the hit TV show GLEE, or even spend a few hours with NESN Red Sox reporter Gary Striewski as he prepares to cover a Red Sox home game. Each ticket costs $325.
If you purchase a MVP Picnic in the Park ticket, you also get one bleacher ticket to the Seattle Mariners vs. Boston Red Sox game on Sunday, August 24 prior to the picnic, as well as a baseball signed by a Red Sox Legend, an opportunity to take a photo of yourself with the 2004, 2007 and 2013 World Series trophies, and an automatic entry into a raffle, with prizes including Green Monster tickets and 2015 Opening Day tickets. Each ticket costs $475.
You can purchase tickets here.
You can bid on the Red Sox Picnic in the Park Auction items even if you don't attend the Picnic in the Park. You can find them all here.
Children under 3 years old are admitted free with a ticketed adult, but have to sit on an adult's lap. Everyone else needs a ticket. All Picnic tickets must be purchased in advance due to the space on the field. The Red Sox Picnic in the Park is a charitable event to support the Red Sox Foundation's Red Sox Scholars and RBI Programs, so a portion of your Picnic Ticket is tax deductible.
Use the code RSFPicnic14 for $50 off a ticket – either the General or MVP Picnic in the Park Ticket.
Sounds like a home-run-kind-of-event to me!

In recent weeks a lot of information related to the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett has started to surface, answering some of the questions related to the devices. There are several great games in development for the current generation, but many are looking forward to the upcoming consoles.
Below you can find a brief comparison that contains all the information that is currently available.
Release date
Both companies have announced that the consoles will be released during the 2020 holiday season.
The price remains an enigma at this point, but some analyst argues that both consoles will be more expensive due to the costly parts which are used in the manufacturing process.
Disk tray
While some gamers may prefer the all-digital concept, PS5 and Xbox Scarlett will offer disc drives that can read optical discs with a maximum capacity of 100GB and 4K Blu-ray content.
Sony has already promised support for 4K and 8K resolutions accompanied by a 120hz refresh rate. Xbox Scarlett will pack native support for 4K, which could be a big advantage in the case of some games. A maximum of 120 FPS is also mentioned, a trait that could be quite attractive for players who love fluid games.
Storage space
The classic HDD will be swapped with high-performance SSD storage solutions, which promise an increased performance and shorter load times.
Sony and Microsoft have opted to use custom GPU and CPU solutions manufactured by AMD. Both CPUs will sport eight cores while an AMD Radeon RDNA Navi will handle graphics. The PS5 has an advantage as it also offers built-in support for 3D audio. Xbox Scarlett will use GDDR6 RAM, but the amount remains unknown.
Backward compatibility
In an attempt to appease disgruntled fans, the PS5 will offer backward compatibility for PSVR and PlayStation 4. Xbox Scarlett will be compatible with a selection of titles released for all the previous models and select accessories.
