Understanding React-Redux and mapStateToProps()
I'm trying to understand the connect method of react-redux, and the functions it takes as parameters. In particular
The way I understand it, the return value of
mapStateToProps will be an object derived from state (as it lives in the store), whose keys will be passed to your target component (the component connect is applied to) as props.
This means that the state as consumed by your target component can have a wildly different structure from the state as it is stored on your store.
Q: Is this OK?
Q: Is this expected?
Q: Is this an anti-pattern?
Is this ok?
A: yes
Is this expected?
Yes, this is expected (if you are using react-redux).
Is this an anti-pattern?
A: No, this is not an anti-pattern.
It's called "connecting" your component or "making it smart". It's by design.
It allows you to decouple your component from your state an additional time which increases the modularity of your code. It also allows you to simplify your component state as a subset of your application state which, in fact, helps you comply with the Redux pattern.
Think about it this way: a store is supposed to contain the entire state of your application.
For large applications, this could contain dozens of properties nested many layers deep.
You don't want to haul all that around on each call (expensive).
mapStateToProps or some analog thereof, you would be tempted to carve up your state another way to improve performance/simplify.

"I love America. Do you?"
Since 9/11 that statement/question has been employed — often with depressing effectiveness — to reduce any would-be critic of the Bush administration to stammering out a half-hearted response, and to derail any serious critique past or current of U.S. global policy. Usually it's been accompanied by a shouted demand for a straight "Yes or no" answer, with no room for qualification and nuance; the message being you can't "love America" and loath her some policies and politics along with their destructive consequences at home or abroad.
What I haven't understood yet is why it's so hard to stand up to that obviously hollow brand of rhetoric, and turn it on its head. So, I was glad to see that AntiWar.Com republished Harry Brown's response to this tactic, in remembrance, as Brown passed away on March 1, 2006. I'm posting an excerpt here, in hopes that it may inspire some of us to carry on.
Unfortunately, too many Americans seem to have little love for that America. They are quite willing to throw away the concepts I've described – in order to satisfy a lust for revenge against the September terrorists.
They're willing to abandon our cherished liberties – giving the government the power to do anything it wants. They assume – falsely – that such invasions of liberty and privacy won't affect them, even though the history of government demonstrates that what's applied against suspected terrorists today will be applied against innocent Americans tomorrow. They're willing to abandon free speech – wanting to shut up those who don't join in the rah-rah cheering as President Bush abandons the essence of what made America unique and great.
They're willing to abandon the rule of law and transform America into a police state – where any law-enforcement agency, military court, or intelligence agency can act as prosecutor, judge, and jury to decide your future.
They're willing to let innocent Americans die – by encouraging our government to bomb innocent foreigners at will, almost guaranteeing that there will be further terrorist attacks against us.
They're willing to continue transforming what was once a worldwide love of America into a hatred for America – caused by the correct perception that American presidents believe they can force any foreign nation to do their bidding.
They make no objection when congressmen pass bills – without reading them first or having any idea what's actually in them – bills that take away your liberties, pile more government debt on your family, and give the president the power to do whatever he wants, as though he were a Roman Emperor.
I'm not sure that the "worldwide love of Ameirca" Harry wrote about ever really existed (at least not if you ask the indigenous people who never quite seem to reap the predicted benefits of our global policies, etc.), but I'm willing to read that as the amount of goodwill towards the U.S. that existed after 9/11, and that has since been squandered by the current White House resident and his cohorts.
R.I.P., Harry.

Colour me blue
Have all your fun this Holi but do remember to be careful. Here are a few things to remember.art-and-culture Updated: Mar 06, 2009 16:57 IST
Have all your fun this Holi but do remember to be careful. Here are a few things to remember:
1. Avoid playing with synthetic colours. Use organic or natural gulal.
2. Make your own natural colours in your kitchen. For example, mix turmeric with besan or soak and grind dried tesu flowers for a yellow, use beetroot paste for a deep pink and soak pomegranate peels overnight for a beautiful pink.
3. Respect other people's sentiments. Do not apply or throw colour on them if they don't want you to.
4. Covering your hair with a hat, cap or a bandana will protect them from chemicals that are hard-to-rinse.
5. It's best to coat your face and all the exposed parts of the body with a layer of cold cream or oil. This will protect the skin and make it easy to remove the colour.
6. Avoid venturing out without your cool shades. They'll protect your eyes, when you are not playing with colours.
7. Wear your worst Holi gear, complete with an old pair of sneakers or closed shoes. Give chappals or sandals a miss as these may break, slip or make you trip while trying to dunk or run.
8. Apply a dark coloured nail polish. With all the colour on you, no one will even notice it.
9. Try to ward off all attacks on the face. But in case you are attacked ask time to take off your spectacles and keep your eyes and lips tightly shut.
10. While travelling in a car, keep the car windows rolled up. Get your parents to cover the seats with old bedsheets and old newspapers.

The delegation was received by the head of Egyptian General Intelligence Abbas Kamel.
Hamas spokesman Fawzy Barhoum said that the delegation includes members of the Hamas political bureau Khalil Al-Haya, Rouhy Moshtaha, and Fathi Hammad.
Barhoum said that the visit, which had been scheduled for some time, will tackle the tough humanitarian conditions [caused by the 10-year-old Israeli siege of the Strip].
"The visit aims at continuing the implementation of the Palestinian reconciliation deal in accordance with the 2011 and 2017 agreements, and utilise Egyptian mediation efforts towards that goal," Barhoum added.
The negotiations between the two main Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah to achieve Palestinian reconciliation, sponsored by the Egyptian General Intelligence, have led to an agreement to end the 10-year-old row between the two groups.
However, the implementation of the agreement has since met setbacks.
Sources in Cairo said that this visit could involve setting a special timetable concerning reconciliation issues.
Egyptian General Mohamed Ibrahim, one of the architects of the 2011 reconciliation agreement, told Ahram Online that current problems in the reconciliation efforts relate to difficulties in deciding the mechanisms of the work of the regrouped Palestinian ministries, and the absence of consensus on problems facing the employees of the Palestinian Authority.
"The [recent] mutual negative statements between Hamas and Fatah leaders have largely contributed to the tension between the two groups; no efforts at reconciliation could succeed in such an atmosphere," Ibrahim added.
"The continuation of Egyptian mediation is important, despite all previous successful mediation efforts, because it is the only guarantee of the success of the reconciliation process, and the Palestinian side should be aware that Egyptian efforts have their limits and expectations," Ibrahim said.
He added that it is important for Hamas and Fatah to "make all required compromises and show flexibility to achieve real reconciliation on the ground."
The Hamas delegation's visit comes shortly after Cairo said that it foiled an attempt by 18 Daesh terrorists to infiltrate from Sinai to assassinate Haniyeh, reflecting a new level of security coordination between Cairo and Hamas, marked by joint security arrangements on the borders between Rafah and Gaza.
Hamas has also arrested a number of Daesh terrorists who had attempted to enter into Sinai.
While social media accounts affiliated with Daesh have broadcast statements and videos that showed activities by Palestinian extremists, some of them have joined the group in war-torn Syria.
Leaks of investigations into extremists by Egyptian investigation bodies have revealed that the head of the Daesh group in Sinai is the Palestinian extremist Rasem Abu Gazar.
Cairo had started efforts to arrange a prisoner swap between Israel and Hamas, but tensions between Gaza and Israel, which some observers say are nearing war levels, have cut this process short.

- Complete a one hour swim at 1:12/100 pace.
- Participate in a half marathon.
I have a lifelong recurring boom and bust cycles with fitness activity relative to life circumstances. My prior cycle of uninterrupted training and fitness was almost two years partly to encountering a great network of friends through the SWFL OWS FB group I joined in 2015. One upside during this time away from fitness activities and training has been increasing professional opportunity and growth.
MFI Hearing Aids
An added dimension to my running is the MFI (made for iPhone) hearing aids which recently replaced my six years old HAs. Any audio generated from the iPhone can be transmitted directly through the HAs via a proprietary bluetooth connection. Needless to say, it provides a wonderful experience to run with music or anything one would to listen to while running.
Even more basic - but so magical for me, it very effectively makes phone calls much more clear and less intimidating. In fact recently I was able watch a webinar on my large screen via PC and also simultaneously on my iPhone via youTube where I could hear everything so well without any captions while typing notes notes the entire session.

This flat, build-ready beachfront lot #14, is a total of 3,544.847 sq. mts. (38,142.55 sq. ft). has a building pad area of 1,283.33 sq. mts. Planned pool and terrace areas are 505.74 sq. mts. Additional build specifications are available. As with the adjacent plot, there is no obstruction to open Sea views, and this property will require little pre-construction grooming. Underground utilities to the site have been completed, and phone and internet lines are available as well. Twenty-four hour guard-gated security, and all amenities one expects in a world-class destination like Fundadores at Puerto Los Cabos.

Week 2: Hitches
If a single column tie and frictions are enough to create an infinite number of tie variations, it's great to have a few more knots in your toolbox to express yourself. Hitches are especially handy; they are a family of knots used to bind a rope to an object or another rope. The goal of this week is to get a deeper understanding of a few hitches, and to use them to explore your creativity. We will look into more hitches and techniques in week 30 and 31.
- Day 8: Half Hitch – Create a tie inspired by dreamcatchers
- Day 9: Clove Hitch – Craft a gag and make an aesthetic column tie using a series of clove hitches
- Day 10: Crossing Hitch – aka Munter hitch – Create a net by making a crossing hitch every time two lines crosses
- Day 11: Reversed Crossing Hitch – aka reversed Munter hitch – create a symmetric tie that has 50% regular crossing hitches, and 50% reversed crossing hitches
- Day 12: Inline Cuff – aka Hojo cuff – Create a Mayfly pattern using inline cuffs
- Day 13: Cow Hitch – aka Lark's head – Make a crotch rope and a hip harness using cow hitches
- Day 14: Quick Release – aka Yuki knot – Use the quick release to make an adjustable Shrimp tie aka Ebi Shibari
Next: The Chest

Libertarian Attacked for Heckling Tea Party Sarah
It probably wasn't a good idea. A young man who identified himself as a Libertarian and a Ron Paul supporter was brutally attacked after giving Sarah Palin a piece of his mind at a Tea Party Express rally in Mesa, Arizona. The Tea Party Express is a front organization for Republicans who claim they own the Tea Party concept (in fact, they stole it from Libertarians).
Why was Italy targeted?

Uber vs Taxis: which is better?
With shady tactics employed on both sides, which service do Aussies prefer: Uber or taxis?
It's the unsettling scenario women across the country face every night.
You've been out drinking with friends but your feet are hurting and you're exhausted from a long working week.
Your warm bed and a long night's sleep beckons but when you go to jump in a cab, its doors are locked.
Instead of being offered the sanctuary of a paid car ride home, the driver demands you tell them where you're going through a slight crack in the window.
And when the fare revenue is deemed insufficient, the window closes and you're again left alone on the side of the road in the middle of the night.
After a call-out to readers, news.com.au was inundated with similar stories and responses criticising the taxi industry.
One reply, identifying only as Kylie, said she was confronted with this issue "constantly".
"Working at a bar in the city, finishing at around the same time as changeover almost guaranteed no taxi would stop," she said. "They'd roll by, ask from the window, shake their head and drive off … I hated the late shift for these reasons."
Other responses to the question of being rejected by taxis were more direct.
"Basically any young woman living in the inner city wanting to get home on a Saturday night in a world before Uber," Katy Hall replied.
And, of course, the bugbear isn't limited to female passengers. Scott Rhodie said on Twitter he experienced this regularly.
"Few weeks ago I tried to get a cab at 2am in the city to Leichhardt (in Sydney's inner west) and two drivers wouldn't open doors and then drove off," he wrote.
"I called the cab company but they didn't care."
An industry peak body admits the regularity of taxis rejecting shorts journeys and leaving passengers stranded is wide spread and pleaded with customers to report rogue drivers.
The NSW Taxi Council wants to "rid the problem" as the mode of transport faces increasing pressure from the popularity of Uber and other rideshare alternatives.
"It is definitely an issue within our industry and it's something we take quite seriously," the body's deputy chief executive Nick Abrahim told news.com.au.
"We want to tackle it head on and try and deal with it … because it's not in the interest of good customer service."
The rampant behaviour isn't limited to dark and quiet streets, as Jocelyn Hunter discovered when she flew into Melbourne for a meeting recently.
When the public relations professional sat inside her cab, her driver was disgusted the journey was only 15 minutes away. She was told the fare wasn't enough and was forced from the car.
"So I got out, walked up to the taxi security guy who flagged down another cab for me," Ms Hunter said.
"I got in and the taxi driver started swearing at the guy, said he wasn't going to take me because the fare was too short.
"He was really angry and eventually took me but drove erratically."
Mr Abrahim said he was committed to stamping the habit out of the industry.
"The role of a taxi driver is to love all fares regardless of whether passengers are going short, long, doesn't matter," he told news.com.au. "They should be grateful and appreciate every fare that a passenger provides.
"It's really important to understand that this is an issue that can be seen as widespread across the industry."
RELATED: Taxi drivers launch $500 million class action court case against Uber
The peak body's executive identified the importance of respecting short rides — those passengers could have a subtle disability, an injury, or be vulnerable to a violent and sexual crime.
"Generally speaking a driver cannot, by law, refuse a customer the service or refuse the customer a journey simply because of the trip you're going to take.
"We've got to get away from that mindset."
According to transport regulations, the main reason taxis are allowed to refuse a passenger is if the driver is at the end of their shift.
And Mr Abrahim admits the opaqueness of this rule leaves it open to be abused.
"This is where customer feedback is vital," he said.
The executive from the NSW Taxi Council implored frustrated customers to report poorly behaved drivers as he feared the service would struggle for relevance against online competitors such as Uber, Ola and other competitors entering the market.
"It gives the customer a negative experience, and no doubt in doing so, will get the customer thinking twice about whether they choose to use the taxi again," Mr Abrahim told news.com.au.
"These drivers need to understand that this is not just a matter of them refusing a short fare.
"There is a long term knock-on effect impacting on brand taxi and it is a means of pushing these customers away and saying 'we don't want your service'.
"We don't want these drivers who are culprits of refusing short fares and abusing it (excuse of end-of-shift) to their benefit."
13cabs told news.com.au that the regulations in Victoria allow drivers to reject passengers but the company has a strict policy against the practice.
"13cabs considers refusing to accept passenger based on their desired destination to be unacceptable and serious breach of our driver code of conduct," a company spokesperson said.
"When accepting a booking from 13cabs the driver is not shown the destination.
"This is done to ensure people who book with us are able to get a taxi as quickly as possible when they need one and cannot be refused on the basis of where they wish to travel."

Back to my neglected "blog" if you can still call it that. Anyway it's a new year we're in the second month (the best month) so I thought I should start on the things I set out to do in 2015. BE CREATIVE!
I love creativity in every way shape or form that it is expressed. Luckily I have been blessed with some creative skills – we are ALL blessed with creativity by the way. So yeah no excuses. There were a few ways I wanted to express myself creatively, here we go:
1. Art, freehand drawing
2. Learn to play the guitar gathering dust in the corner of my room
3. Keep knitting and crocheting and make more stuff
4. Wrote more poems and short stories – also journal and blog more
Starting with number cos it's the only one I've really done. I found a great app Adobe sketch I think. I'm getting used to it but love it so far! Here's a drawing of Sam I did:
I know it looks a little half finished
but thats what I was going for ...yeah.
Why be creative? Any one who's ever made something or created something out of wood, paper, words knows how amazing and fulfilling it feels 🙂

Right now I have a pretty horrible cold, and I am losing my voice. I always have a pretty deep voice anyway, but the cold dropped it an octave. Then it added gravel, and then it started to wipe it out in its entirety. I can't say it's affected my day too much; I don't talk a great deal. I don't get the chance.
Ok, so let's imagine a scenario, if you will. Assume that I am in a work meeting with a team of people whom I know in passing. They're people I work with, but not that I speak to on a daily basis. It's not like they're strangers, but I'm not comfortable enough to fully relax, and be part of the ongoing fray.
Someone says something I agree with; I nod and smile: that's a valid contribution. That is the way I take part in meetings a lot of the time, because I do not have a lot to add. The problem arises when I do have something to add. The conversation moves on quickly, so I cannot get what I wanted to say off my chest: I have two potential options: bottle it up, hopefully saving it for a follow-up email; wait until I can find my way in to the conversation, and back track to the bit I wanted to raise. I feel a bit pathetic when I do the latter; I feel like a good colleague when I do the former, so I stick with that.
The problem is that I then spend my life not speaking, and only really communicating via email, post hoc. Now, don't get me wrong: I prefer the written to the spoken word. It doesn't mean that I don't absolutely hate it, however. But, being the kind of person I am, that missed point I wanted to make ends up dominating my thoughts for a few days, until I get around to sending the email, and finding out that the thing I wanted to say has been well received. Or at least not found deeply offensive.
And it is not limited strictly to the working environment, is it? It comes up socially. With people that I've known for years, that I understand my way around, and in small enough numbers, I can have a perfectly good conversation. Yes, other people tend to dominate the talking, but there have been times where I have been able to express myself. Not being able to get a word in edgeways is the main problem, but sometimes it is incessant interruptions. Either one just seems to derail my mind.
When I lose confidence in what I am saying the last thing I want is to continue trying to express it. That shaking of the confidence can take a variety of forms, but usually it is other people speaking.
I don't want to dominate the conversation; I want to be part of it. It's not that I think the world owes me a huge, continuing, developing monologue: far from it. I think the world should engage in a free dialogue, where we take turns to speak, and we actually listen to what the other person is saying.
Second example time: I like talking to my daughter, but I am not always sure she is aware that I exist. I ask her to put her socks on: nothing. I ask her to brush her teeth: nothing. She asks me a question; I pause to thing about the answer: she yells at me. I answer the question fully: Halfway through, she drifts off and starts doing something else. She asks me the same question the next day, surprised I am telling her she should learn to listen. It is very rare that our conversations are functional at all.
But she's four and apparently likely to grow out of such things. But it does add to the ever-increasing feelings of isolation which I seem to live with. Imagine a party at my house, full of people with whom I am perfectly happy to have a conversation with on an individual level. When they all start talking to each other, I find myself shrinking smaller and smaller, down, down, down in to my seat.
I feel trapped by my on inability to voice my thoughts. I feel silenced by everyone else not listening to a word I have to say. I feel like no one cares that I'm speaking, and that hurts. I feel like a child for saying these things, for feeling so lost, for hating myself over something so stupid. I feel like I want to shout until the voice rips out of my chest forever. I feel scared to express myself for fear of being ignored. I very much doubt that you understand what I mean; even less so that you care about it.
I feel that I have the right to be heard, but no more so than anyone else. I hate being the centre of attention, but I despair at my natural instinct to shuffle off in to a corner, start sinking in to it, and hiding. I want to be able to mix casually, and I often can, but only when I feel secure in my skin, secure that what I am saying is valued, secure that I am not simply wasting my time and my breath.
I feel that people think I am distant, angry, judging, for my inability to find out how to join in with conversations. I feel that people think I do not like them, when simply I do not know what you are meant to do when you want to say something. I feel like putting my hand up some times. Really.
I have always been like this, but I am sick of it. That's the whole point of me putting this all down on the page like this: I am sick of it. I do not want medication, I do not want therapy, I just want people to start fucking listening to me, to stop fucking talking over me, and to stop being so fucking loud, obnoxious and braying when in a group of other people. All people, everywhere, all of the time.
My assertion is that I cannot be the only one for whom these problems exist. My assertion is that only the loud, outgoing people are being heard, and the opinions of the rest of the population are being suppressed. My assertion is that the best ideas are not being allowed to form, to be discussed, to be voiced, because of the noisy minority, who in fact sound like the awful, bland-minded majority.
The irony is that I want to stand on the rooftops and yell that I want the world to listen to me, but I am convinced that they'll not even be aware that I am speaking. Five minutes later, a man will turn to his wife, or the dog, and ask if they spoke. Such is my effect on people; my words do not register in the mind. Then again, I've almost lost my voice, so they were never going to have much impact.

WARNING: Contains 'colourful' language
Some trolls have trotted out the astounding accusation that the media are partially to blame for the Muskrat Falls disaster.
In June 2016, when newly installed Nalcor Energy president Stan Marshall announced ratepayers' electricity bills will double when Muskrat Falls power comes online, there were howls of outrage. Not all of it was directed at the suitable culprits: Nalcor, the Progressive Conservatives and the Liberals.
Since then, there has been regular indignation that the media hasn't done its job.
"Why weren't we told about this?" has been a common thread of complaints.
In the past year and a half, I have had discussions with people — on the phone, via email, on Facebook — about the media's alleged failure to inform the public about the impending financial/environmental ruination that Muskrat Falls will bring.
I always point out a basic fact: the Newfoundland media, not just The Telegram, have covered every aspect of Muskrat Falls since at least 2010.
Legendary blogger and part-time troll Ed Hollett snidely commented on my Facebook page, "You must be thinking about some other Telegram."
Nope. This very one has been at the forefront of news coverage and critical analysis of Muskrat Falls, despite the efforts of various Liberal sycophants and Tory toadies to assign blame to others.
I always point out a basic fact: the Newfoundland media, not just The Telegram, have covered every aspect of Muskrat Falls since at least 2010.
I wrote my first anti-Muskrat Falls column in September 2011. That year's provincial election was approaching, and the headline was, "Voting for another Upper Churchill."
My colleagues Pam Frampton and Russell Wangersky have each penned dozens — "Hundreds!" they might object — of columns about Muskrat Falls.
The Telegram's letters pages have included numerous commentaries about the project from such informed critics as David Vardy, Ron Penney and Cabot Martin, among many others.
The paper's news pages have carried all angles of the story, including debt financing, other power options, methylmercury, native rights, the North Spur, ratepayers' vulnerability and more. A recent story featured Des Sullivan, whose Uncle Gnarley blog is a veritable 24-hour news site for all things Muskrat.
I received an email last week from Nova Scotia environmentalist Bruno Marcocchio, formerly of the Sierra Club. His message is noteworthy for its uninformed belligerence.
Referring to my column about the upcoming Muskrat Falls inquiry, Marcocchio wrote:
"I see you have been roused into cynicism about the genesis, review and execution of the Muskrat Falls disaster. Congratulations!
"Was it the refusal to ask the stop/go question that aroused you from your deep compliant supplication to Danny's Dream? Was it a delayed awakening of what 22 cents kWh power will do to the old or poor? Were you lazy and gullible enough to buy the least-cost claim?
"Your self-serving conclusion, 'It happened because the Newfoundland public is gullible and malleable" ignores one important fact. The de facto Fourth Estate became an unquestioning propaganda arm of the feudal entitled class in NL. What responsibility, learned scribe, do you and yours bear for allowing your province to be ransacked…?"
"No, the people of NL are not gullible, they have been let down by a non-existent Opposition and a complicit Fourth Estate. Congratulations, asshole, you have joined the ranks of despicable victim shamers."
Admittedly, most of my correspondence isn't this colourful. I replied thus:
"Mr. Marcocchio,
"You apparently haven't been paying attention. I wrote my first anti-Muskrat Falls column in 2011, long before the project was even officially sanctioned. In the past six years, I have written dozens of columns criticizing numerous aspects of the project, and what the Tory and Liberal politicians, and Nalcor executives, were doing and saying. I have presented counter-arguments to their 'facts' time and time again. So also have many other columnists and reporters at The Telegram, as well as at other media outlets. I may indeed be an 'asshole,' but certainly not for the reasons you cite."

When I first saw this kit in this thread on Hammock Forums I knew she was the one for me (hearts and kissy faces emoticon).I ordered one last week and it arrived in my mailbox a few short days later. I thought I'd try an unboxing/first look video, so here's my effort.
I'll be happy to answer any questions.If anyone sees anything I did wrong please let me know. I really wasn't expecting it to take that long to get a boil. All that said I really like the kit, and "it is what it is". If I expect it to take that long, it won't be a big deal when it does.Thanks for watching!

The city of Perth is well known and treasured for its areas of protected bushland in the heart of the city. Kings Park and Bold Park represent a significant part of the natural heritage of the Swan Coastal Plain and are an important part of city life. The city is also a gateway to the incredible biodiversity to be found in south-west Western Australia.
Perth Plants provides a comprehensive photographic guide to all plants known to occur in the bushlands of Kings Park and Bold Park, both native plants and naturalised weeds.

Functional Neurology
Functional neurology is a method of evaluating and treating conditions that stem from problems in the nervous system. A specialist in functional neurology uses characteristics of the nervous system to restore and maintain health.
These treatments as based on findings in the fields of neurology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, embryology and cellular biochemistry.
A functional neurologist utilizes this cutting edge research to test for and determine the cause of the problem and treat it using brain-based rehabilitation.
Some of the problems that may be helped by a functional neurologist include:
- Vertigo/Dizziness
- Head Injuries/Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Concussions
- Post-Concussion Syndrome
- Dyslexia
- Neck Pain
- Numbness and Tingling
- Whiplash and Complications from Car Crashes
- Peripheral Neuropathies
- Headaches
- Movement Disorders
- Cervical Dystonia
- Torticollis
- Writer's Cramp
- Tourette's Syndrome
- Shoulder Pain
- Low Back Pain
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
- Temporomandibular Joint Disease (Jaw Pain)
- Stroke Rehabilitation
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Other neurological disorders
Bryan D. Royer, DC, DACNB is a chiropractic neurologist who is trained to assess groups of nerves and determines how well they are working. He is trained to understand and treat the problems that occur when there is an imbalance in groups of nerves. In many patients with neurological problems, some groups of nerves may be overexcited and express themselves too much while other groups of nerves may be lethargic. This imbalance leads to the nerves becoming fatigued too quickly and being unable to properly perform. Through functional neurology, a doctor can determine the specific group of nerves that need are imbalanced and target these nerves with specific brain-based exercises to improve their overall performance. Similar to exercises for muscles that are designed to increase the strength and function of muscles, these brain-based exercises are designed to increase the stamina or function of certain areas of the brain to improve their operation. Improvement in performance of these imbalanced groups of nerves often leads to improvement in symptoms experienced by the patient.
Correcting a functional neurological imbalance requires extensive knowledge of neurophysiology and neuroanatomy. Those who have taken specialist post-graduate study in functional neurology, like Dr. Royer, are trained to understand the physiological function and anatomical structure of the human nervous system to better differentiate the cause of the patient's disorder.
While a medical neurologist generally prescribes medications and a neurosurgeon typically uses surgery as the means of correcting conditions, a chiropractic neurologist uses medication free and non-surgical treatment methods to accomplish their goal. Patients receive individualized care based on the findings of their examination. Brain-based rehabilitation methods may include precise chiropractic adjustments coupled with specific stimulations and exercise, as well as nutritional supplementation. Common exercises used in treating neurological conditions include: visual or auditory stimulation or stimulation of the inner ear such as spinning or balance work. These exercises are very powerful methods of stimulating the appropriate areas of the brain.
Through the use of brain-based exercises, Chiropractic Neurologists can effectively treat neurological problems without the use of drugs or surgery. These exercises help the brain to function properly by restoring balance to the brain and harmony to neurological system.
Dr. Royer is a chiropractic neurologist certified as a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB). Dr. Royer has taken over 900 hours of post-graduate education in functional neurology from the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies and was required to pass a rigorous written and practical examination process in order to receive his specialty. Less than 500 people in the world currently have this certification, and Dr. Royer is the only board certified chiropractic neurologist in the Toledo area. Dr. Royer is also member of the ACA Council on Neurology. He has been practicing chiropractic medicine in the Toledo, OH area since 2005. Dr. Royer also teaches Anatomy and Physiology at Owens Community College.

Hi there Students of Room 231.
No doubt you all enjoyed going back to sleep when you discovered that school was closed today. If you are checking this blog today – well done – there will be "Hellyer Bucks" for those of you that leave me a comment on this post telling which activities from the list below you completed!
Things to do:
# Read a book (at least 90 minutes – 'cos that's 45 minutes of normal class reading + usual homework)
# Log onto Math Investigations (click on Math category to see post how to do that if you've forgotten or check the wiki (learning links) for the link.
- Use LogoPaths Free Explore to build different types of hexagons. Record the steps in a blog post on your blog.
- Draw polygons without using degrees that end in 0 or 5. Don't forget to record the steps and write a blog post about how you did this – What did you have to think about? How did you work it out?
# Have a go at creating a math tutorial using Screen Toaster. You could teach your classmates a favourite strategy for solving 3-digit multiplication/division or how to find equivalent fractions, simplify fractions – anything you like. Screen Toaster is fun and easy. Try it out – see what you can create! Then I'll show you how to embed it in your blog when school opens again.
# Have a jolly good look around for any of those books that are overdue on the Learning Hub Overdue list that I posted yesterday.
# Work on your PSA (if you can)
# Write a reflection on your blog about a strategy that has been helpful during our Historical Fiction Unit of Study. Explain if it was useful – How was it useful? What did you realise when you used the strategy?
# Work on your Realistic Fiction Story. I know most of you won't have your writing with you – some of you may have your flash drive – but I know most of you won't. But you do know what needs revising. You could try writing a scene "fresh" without seeing your original writing – it might make your writing clearer!
Above all else, stay safe, enjoy the day and please – at least do some extra reading today – for me!
See you when school opens!

By Brandi O. Brown, J.D.
There was no evidence a city housing authority had reason to suspect that a maintenance supervisor who tested positive for opiates was disabled before it suspended him, and he had no property interest in continued employment.
In affirming summary judgment against an employee's ADA claim, the Eighth Circuit held that he failed to make out a prima facie case of regarded-as disability discrimination. Even if he could show that his paid suspension was an adverse action (which the court noted was unlikely) the suspension predated information he provided that might have led the employer to suspect he was disabled. The court also agreed that the constructive discharge claim was not exhausted because it was based on actions not raised in the employee's EEOC charge. His due process claim failed because, under Arkansas law, he could be terminated at will (Voss v. Housing Authority of the City of Magnolia, Arkansas, February 25, 2019, Grasz, L.).
Failed drug screen. After 14 years of employment with the housing authority, the maintenance supervisor resigned in May 2014. In the months preceding his resignation, the employee felt that he had been the subject of retaliation and discrimination, all stemming from a failed drug screen that had occurred in February. He tested positive for "opiates/morphine" and was suspended without pay after refusing to provide requested information regarding his use of an opiate. The next day, however, the employee relented and provided a copy of his prescription for hydrocodone.
Demands for info. Next, the employer asked him to provide a letter from his healthcare provider regarding the prescription, including an explanation of how and when he took it and any effects on the employee's ability to perform his duties. The employer also asked for a complete list of the employee's prescription medications in order to confirm that it was the hydrocodone that caused the positive drug test or, in the alternative, a clearance letter from his physicians that addressed that concern. The employee did not respond to those requests and remained on suspension.
Reinstatement and resignation. Eventually the employer reinstated his pay, with retroactive pay, and it kept him on health insurance during his suspension. Even though he did not provide the requested information, he was allowed to return to work in May and the employer dropped its demands.
Upon his return, the employee told his supervisor that he was still taking hydrocodone. He also said he had medical conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder. Although he told the supervisor those conditions would not affect his ability to do his job, the supervisor informed him that he could not operate vehicles or equipment until he provided more information about the prescription from his doctor.
A few days later, the employee resigned, claiming he could not work in the retaliatory environment that had existed since the drug test. He filed charges with the EEOC and later filed suit. Following dismissal of some of his claims and discovery on the remaining ones, the federal district court in Arkansas granted summary judgment against his remaining claims of disability discrimination, due process violations, and retaliation.
No evidence he was regarded as disabled. The Eighth Circuit affirmed. The ADA claim, based on the employee's assertion that his employer regarded him as disabled, could not be revived because, as the district court had concluded, he failed to provide evidence to support it. Even if he could show that the suspension, which was paid, was an adverse action (a very unlikely possibility, according to the appeals court), the fact remained that the suspension ended before the employee's supervisor had any reason to suspect he might be disabled.
The court rejected the employee's argument that the supervisor's knowledge that he was taking hydrocodone was, alone, sufficient evidence to infer that he regarded the employee as disabled. Moreover, the employer's request for a letter regarding the employee's ability to safely perform his job duties was likewise inconsequential. There was nothing in the record to indicate that the employer's request was based on a concern that he had a disability that affected his ability to perform his job, only that it was concerned about whether the medication would interfere.
Finally, the court explained that the restrictions the supervisor placed on the employee after he returned could not be considered because those acts were not included in the employee's EEOC charge.
No property interest in job. Likewise, summary judgment was affirmed against the due process claim. The employee could not show that he possessed a property interest in his employment under state law. Under state law employers can terminate at-will employees without cause, with only two exceptions, neither of which applied.
The equal opportunity statement in the policy manual was not the "express provision against termination except for cause" required by state law. With regards to a provision covering suspensions, even if it could create legal entitlement for employees who are suspended, it only did so if they were not paid and the charges upon which the suspension was based were not substantiated. The employee was paid for his time on suspension and he was not fired because of the drug test.
Constructive discharge claim not exhausted. With regards to the employee's constructive discharge claim, the appeals court agreed that it had not been properly exhausted. The charge did not include anything about revocation of his duties and other adverse actions that formed the basis of that claim.

Do You Have The Right Attitude Towards Your Health?
When you're young, you feel like you can take on the world. Why worry about your health? You'll fret about that stuff later in life! You don't need to think about your lifestyle or eating habits; those are concerns for the elderly! The problem is, your lifestyle will affect your body no matter how you might feel now. By not taking care of your body now, all you're doing is setting it up for a tougher time further down the road. To make sure you stay fit and healthy for years to come, here are some aspects of your health that you should be paying attention to.
High blood pressure
Your GP isn't sticking your arm into that inflatable sleeve just for fun you know. Your blood pressure is significant enough that you have it monitored and recorded every time you visit the doctor. Hypertension is a serious condition and can cause damage to your arteries. This damage can put you at significant risk of heart failure, kidney failure, and stroke. Luckily, helping to lower the risk of high blood pressure is just a matter of some simple lifestyle changes. Eating a balanced diet, lowering your alcohol intake and getting regular exercise can all help keep your blood pressure in check.
Tooth decay
What would a smile be without your pearly whites? Few of us would ever want to have to spend our lives with our mouths clamped shut for fear of showing off a row of rotten gnashers. So why so so many of us take such poor care of our teeth? You might not be able to tell right away, but neglecting your teeth can lead not only to an unpleasant yellow hue. But can also cause gum disease, rot and, worst of all, can result in losing them altogether. Always make sure you're brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing straight after. Attend regular dentist appointments. Also, make sure you quit smoking! We can't promise you'll never have to go shopping for denture adhesive, but you can at least stave off the false teeth in a glass by the bed for a while.
Joint pain
"It's fine!" You might be thinking. "It's just a bit of an ache! I probably just slept on it funny!" With any luck, that's exactly what it was, and it will go away on its own. But any pain is the body's way of telling you something's wrong. If your joints are aching it can be tempting just to ignore it. It might seem as though it isn't urgent enough to bother your doctor with. But joint pain can be a sign of something much more worrying. Without getting it checked, a little niggling pain in the joints can leave you with mobility issues or even worse! Even if joint pain is just that, it can still cause you some pretty serious problems. You may want to visit somewhere like Dr. Dominique practices. That way you can get not only chiropractic care but also care that focuses on your body as a whole. That way you're in a much better position to combat any other issues that you might be having with your health.
Low energy
Low energy is something that many of us end up feeling like we just have to put up with. After all, between work, family, friends, and everything else that you have to deal with, it's often all too easy to feel like you simply don't have enough time to rest and relax. But what happens when you do get that chance and you still wake up feeling like you were up all night? Well, low energy can be a symptom of a lot of different things and the only way to be sure is to talk to a professional. Your GP will be able to test for various things and help you figure out what it is that you can do in order to start waking up in the mornings feeling refreshed again.
If you're living a healthy, active lifestyle, the chances of something being seriously wrong is pretty minimal. But that doesn't mean that you should neglect your body now and worry about it later. Always check with your GP if you're concerned about anything. Your body is a temple after all. The last thing you want to do is to bury your head in the sand and hope that things will just go away. Most of the time that just ends up making it worse.

It is my goal to provide children and adolescents with a safe space to express themselves in any way they need, the opportunity to work through any past traumas, and to give them the tools to cope with the stressors in their lives. I also strive to support parents with practical ideas to use at home. I believe strongly in the healing power of community and culture, and I have worked closely with Ottawa's Aboriginal community.
I use play, art, sandtray, and other creative methods to help children and adolescents express themselves in verbal and nonverbal ways. I believe every child should be given the opportunity to externalize their inner world in a safe, non-judgmental space, so that they can more easily achieve their potential. Drama, play, art, storytelling, and other such creative tools help children, adolescents, and adults process traumas and deal with difficult feelings in non-threatening ways, and without having to find words to describe their complex emotions.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist and a Creative Arts Therapist, originally from Nova Scotia. I completed my Masters degree in Creative Arts Therapies at Concordia University before settling in Ottawa in 2012. I have additional training in Sandtray-Worldplay Therapy, The Power of Family for At-Risk Youth, and Aboriginal Focusing-Oriented Therapy & Complex Trauma. I specialize in working with children and adolescents who have behavioural and emotional disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, first-hand and intergenerational trauma, and developmental disabilities, as well as with those from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.
