A new report analyzed data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that in just a decade the number of kids diagnosed with ADHD has jumped by 53 percent, with nearly one in five high-school-aged boys being told they have the disorder. The Today Show reported on April 2, 2013, that the alarmingly high numbers have parents, educators and other experts wondering whether the disorder is being overdiagnosed and healthy kids being unnecessarily treated with powerful stimulants.
Some are quick to blame pharmaceutical companies for pushing ADHD medications, however Dr. Nancy Snyderman, chief medical editor at NBC points to elimination of daily recess and gym activities. The move, in favor of activities focused on raising standardized test scores, may cause antsy children to have no release for energy in the school day. DrSnyderman also suggests that technology has a major impact. Children who grow up with daily exposure to ipads and other digital gadgets are used to multitasking and exposure to fast-moving video games and thus may not be able to hold attention to a teacher speaking in a typical classroom setting. Research shows brains are changing in connection with this new technology. Dr. Snyderman says “There’s been a technological shift, if you, as an adult, feel really connected to this and you didn’t even grow up with it, imagine what it is like when you are a 2-year-old and you get your first iPad. You bet their brains are going faster. And they bore more easily.”
Birmingham Maple Clinic therapist Dave Garvelink, MA LLP, also suggests that increased use of marijuana among young people can also be mistaken for and incorrectly diagnosed as ADHD; adding to the elevated rates of diagnosis. Low motivation, poor attention and poor completion of tasks are observable symptoms of both ADHD and marijuana and other drug use. He says, “The symptoms look very similar.”
Dr. Snyderman advocates for rigorous psychological testing to determine if ADHD is truly present in your child. She also remarks although stimulants can be helpful in many cases, when wrongly prescribed, or in doses too high, the consequences can be “psychosis or death,” which is why she emphasizes the importance of complete testing and in some cases classroom observations.
Harriet Green, educational tutor at Birmingham Maple Clinic says “Medication, when prescribed correctly, can be a dose of confidence for an ADHD child.” She finds for children that are properly treated the ability to focus gives the self-confidence they need to make it through their daily homework routine.
Psychologists at The Center for ADHD at Birmingham Maple Clinic can provide comprehensive psychological testing to determine if ADHD is present. When ADHD really is the problem an individual treatment plan is developed. The Center for ADHD offers an array of services to meet the needs of the individual plan. Psychiatric evaluations for medication, psychological testing, individual and/or family therapy, psycho-educational seminars for parents of children with ADHD, seminars for adults with ADHD, educational tutoring, and academic or career coaching are each available at Birmingham Maple Clinic.

A Snaplock is a particular type of mechanism for firing a gun (also, a gun fired by such a mechanism).
A snaplock ignites the (usually muzzleloading) weapon's propellant by means of sparks produced when a spring-powered cock strikes a flint down on to a piece of hardened steel. The snaplock is therefore similar to the snaphaunce (sometimes classed as an advanced type of snaplock) and the later flintlock (see below).
In all snaplocks, the flint is held in a clamp at the end of a bent lever called the cock. When the gun is "cocked", the cock is held back, against the pressure of a spring, by a catch which is part of the trigger mechanism. When the trigger is pulled, the catch is released and the spring moves the cock rapidly forwards. The flint strikes a curved plate of hardened steel, called the "steel". The flint strikes from the steel a shower of white hot steel shavings (sparks) which fall towards the priming powder held in the flash pan. The flash from the pan's ignited primer travels (unless there is only a "flash in the pan") through the touch hole into the firing chamber at the rear of the barrel, and ignites the main charge of gunpowder.
Before the weapon is fired, the pan has a closed cover: the mechanism for opening this cover (i.e. manual or automatic) can affect whether the weapon is classed as a snaplock. In fact, the term Snaplock may be used in three ways
- The most general use of Snaplock is for any lock which strikes flint against steel but which does not have the defining feature of a true flintlock. This is the frizzen, a single piece of metal which is a combined "steel" and self-opening pan cover.
- A more restrictive definition excludes the "snaphaunce", more sophisticated weapons with a lateral sear and a pan cover, separate from the steel, that opens automatically.
- Sometimes the term is used only for specific Scandinavian, German, and Russian varieties of lock.
Period of Use
The snaplock first appeared in the late 1540s, probably in southern Germany. It was cheap and easy to produce, and like all post-matchlock weapons, could be primed and loaded in advance and be fired at a moment's notice. It was used until modern times in Scandinavia and Russia, but by about 1640 it was out of fashion almost everywhere else.
Snaplocks as a class did not have safety devices, but individual models could be prevented from inadvertent firing by different mechanisms
- In the early models with a manual pan cover, the steel could be swung out of the path of the flint until just before firing., also, a closed pan cover would not allow the primer to ignite and could help keep the primer dry in misty conditions.
- On some models, an external hook attached to the lock plate could engage the tip of the "cocked" cock to prevent it from moving forwards.
Regional varieties include the Baltic Lock, the Russian Snaplock, and the Miquelet Lock. The Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus had many matchlock muskets converted to snaplocks during his military reforms.

Singjay KS’ upcoming EP features some of the biggest Gambian artists such as Say’hu, Attack, Talibeh Izzy, and Tee.
Signed to GSC Records under the management of International UK-Based Producer Malang Fatty, Singjay KS is set to take the Gambian music scene by storm this October 2021. His soothing style which infuses a contemporary blend of Afro-beats, Afro-swing and Hip hop is sure to appeal to fans of all ages.,
Fans and new listeners can listen to a preview of this impressive EP which will be available on all streaming and download sites such as Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack etc on October 8th 2021. Available for listening right now on Apple Music is track number one titled “Heart Broken”. In this track, KS sings about the demise of his father the late Baba Jobe and the impact it had on his family. https://music.apple.com/gb/album/sweetest-taboo-ep/1587447964
KS’ Sweetest Taboo EP is set to be launched in a mega-concert at Jama Hall on 16th October 2021 featuring some of the biggest Gambian artists. Having completed his Schools meet and greet tour, we had a chat with KS about his upcoming event and his journey so far in music.
Flex Dan: What type of music, artists and genre has influenced your music?
Singjay KS: I was influenced by music from a variety of artists and genres however, the main ones are Burna Boy, Jay Hus, Drake, Travis Scott and Lil Durk. I also listen to a lot of other artists that are on top. I love Afro-beats and Afro-swing but I also do listen to Ndaga and Youssou Ndour. That is what inspired one of my recent songs “Poucherou”.
FD: When did you start making music and what has been your biggest song so far?
KS: I started music in 2018 and my biggest song was Sweetest Taboo. Everybody loved that song that’s why I had to name the EP after it even though it was just a promo song. But it’s also part of the EP now.
FD: What can the fans look forward to at your album launch on October 16th?
KS: I want to tell my fans to prepare. There’s going to be 14 songs on the EP and two bonus tracks. So, I need the fans to get ready because I promise all the songs are hit songs with fire that all my fans will love. I really appreciate moving companies in Canada, but I utilize move services from toronto-based miracle movers. I’m relying on your continued support.
FD: Anything you want to add about your upcoming album and doing music in The Gambia?
KS: All I have right now is to tell my people that I’m here and real music is coming out. I also want to thank my entire management team, friends, family and everyone who believe in me. This is just the beginning and a very little tip of the iceberg. All the producers and Musicians that contributed to this project worldwide and everyone who made it possible one way or the other, I thank you too. The industry is changing and Gambians are becoming more and more supportive. We love you all and thank you for your endless support.

DOWNLOAD: Thee American Revolution
By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 30, 2009 10:30PM
Robert Schneider, the brains behind The Apples In Stereo, has joined forces with his brother-in-law Craig Morris to form the heavily fuzzed out Thee American Revolution. Sonically the band sharees the over-driven enthusiasm of The Apples In Stereo, but instead of clean shiny pop Thee American Revolution slops the canvas with loud speaker-bursting psychedelia. The song structures are still there, but now they're buried under a rickety construct of feedback and in-the-red vocals.
The duo has brought a number of fellow Elephant 6ers on board to help flesh out the sound in the studio, and the resulting album sounds like a bunch of insanely talented teenagers bashing out some pretty brilliant noise in mom's garage.
Download a free MP3 of the lead single "Power House" and get hip to what we're talking about.

Some of the current authorities in political theory have been indirectly in support of Marxist ideas. For example John Bordley Rawls. he was an American philosopher, born in 1921 and died in 2002. He was regarded as a leading scholar in the fields of political philosophy and morals. His greatest publication was a theory of justice, published in 1971.
In this book he argues that “the most reasonable principles of justice are those everyone would accept and agree to from a fair position (Rawls, 1971). He is mostly known for his theory of justice of fairness. This theory has been widely borrowed by economists, sociologists as well as other scholars in different fields. Drawing ideas from the original position and the veil of ignorance Rawls tries to demonstrate how distributive justice can be arrived at. This theory develops certain principles of justice that govern a modern social order. This theory provides a framework that explains the importance of equal opportunity that benefits the more and less advantaged members of the society. This was what Marx was referring to in seeking a communist society

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a variety of special features built into each Chrysler, and understand that only the highest quality repair Voyager parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Make no mistake, you bought your Voyager because you knew that you wanted performance and American style both rolled up into one automobile. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Fuel Filter to repair your vehicle. When your Chrysler Voyager was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes a trusted name in their automobile.
You can't get the best combination of fuel efficiency and engine output without high-quality engine components. The fuel filter in your car or truck keeps tiny particulates that may be flowing from your gas tank to the fuel injectors out of the fuel supply. This dirt affects the performance and fuel economy of the engine in your Chrysler Voyager, because it could clog injectors and/or reduce the octane of your fuel. When your Chrysler Voyager fuel filter becomes overrun with trapped dirt, your fuel supply will be restricted and the same effects could result. That is why it is important to change your fuel filter every year.
Procuring new Chrysler parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Voyager parts on the internet. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. When your Chrysler needs a top quality replacement Fuel Filter, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. All the Chrysler Voyager Fuel Filter parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995.

Blaine Dillinger, a man of multiple talents, is best known for his reggae rock role in HIRIE and former roles like Clear Conscience, Shrub, among others. What fans of the reggae rock genre don’t know is that Dillinger’s background ranges from reggae to prog rock to funk to his jazz guitar degree he attained from Ohio State University. Many hats, this man wears. Of late, Dillinger has buckled down on his solo moniker, Dillinger’s Hired Guns — an ongoing side project that began over seven years ago between touring gigs.
… “Witchduck” emphasizes Dillinger’s capabilities beyond the reggae boundaries he has been confined to within the public eye for so long.
That said, Dillinger has yet to grace his fans with new music entirely of his own since 2013, making this world premiere all the more special — only available today on Top Shelf! The track is titled “WitchDuck”, an instrumental journey of transformation, the triumph of good over evil. From the first guitar notes, you are introduced to a mixture of sound transcending multiple genres; it’s a metaphor for a creature misunderstood from the start. A witch and a duck: two seemingly unrelated mammals, one from the mystical realm, the other of the ordinary. Put together, we have a twisting narrative, a cathartic vortex at the bridge and an extremely satisfying conclusion. With all instruments recorded and tracked by Dillinger (with the exception of HIRIE homeboy Matt Benoit on drums), “Witchduck” emphasizes Dillinger’s capabilities beyond the reggae boundaries he has been confined to within the public eye for so long.
Dillinger further employs violinist Jamie Shadowlight and HIRIE hired hand Jason J for the single’s artwork, allowing Jason J fans to see yet another side of the multi-faceted musician! It was a team effort, all-around. Dillinger comments that several more prog rock instrumentals are headed our way, possibly even leading to an EP later on this year. Regardless, Blaine Dillinger is growing in his music and ready to show the world. For more information, visit the links below and be the first to tune into “Witchduck”, hitting all digital outlets Friday, April 10th.

What you are seeing these days in the Greater Yellowstone Area’s long, hot summer may just be the start of a trend, as research regarding climate trends in the region indicates a drier, warmer Yellowstone National Park.
Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey, Montana State University and the University of Wyoming studied climate change in the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) from 1950-2018. They evaluated how these changes could progress by 2100 based on various greenhouse gas emission scenarios and found that average GYA temperatures increased by 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit and could increase an additional 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. All in all, the report covers the future of the 22 million-acre GYA in detail, giving interesting parties data to plan for the future Yellowstone region climate.
“Greater Yellowstone is valued for its forests, rivers, fish and wildlife,” said Steve Hostetler, a USGS scientist and co-lead author of the report. “The trend towards a warmer, drier climate described in this study will likely affect ecosystems in the region and the communities that depend on them.”
The report also found that by the end of the century, the GYA could see:
- annual precipitation increase by 9-15 percent, but the combination of elevated temperatures and higher evaporation rates will likely make future conditions drier in summer;
- reduced soil moisture in the summer months, which will be an additional stress on plant communities that could make drought and wildfires more common;
- 40-60 more days per year exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit in Bozeman, Montana, and in Jackson, Pinedale and Cody, Wyoming, if there is little to no mitigation of future emissions.
We already know this year is a historically hot and dry summer, and that trend should continue in coming weeks; fire danger levels are rising and there’s little rain in the short-term forecast. Temperatures have already reached 100 degrees in the region, streamflows are lower, and wildfires are already being fought. (Read more about what’s happening in Grand Teton National Park in terms of the fire danger.)
The report also documents the effects of climate change on the GYA over recent decades, including:
- average temperature was as high or higher than any period in the last 20,000 years and likely the warmest of the last 800,000 years, according to geologic studies;
- the growing season increased by nearly two weeks since 1950;
- average annual snowfall decreased by 23 inches since 1950 and measurable snow has become rare in June and September.

Many of us seek a way to provide our children with a solid ethical foundation and a sense of pride in their Jewish heritage – without an explicitly religious context. We can do a lot at home. But here at the Center for Jewish Culture and Social Justice, Jewish identity and values deepen through communal rituals and structures that provide our children and families with a feeling of belonging. It’s about having a connection to each other, as well as to a shared history and shared values.
We are proud to be a community where families from a wide variety of religious and ethnic backgrounds, both Jewish and non-Jewish, feel welcome and participate in all levels of the organization. We are also proud to be an open and affirming community for LGBTQ families.
Whether your children are two, ten or eighteen years old, there are ways for them to participate.

Jamie is back from Houston–the first one home for the holiday break! Kids coming home means its time to stock the fridge and pantry. Food 24-7! I decided to make a big pot of soup to chase away the winter chill that has settled in. One of Jamie’s favorites is Potato Leek Soup. Flavorful, filling and easy to make plus there are infinite ways you can tweak this soup. For this batch I added kohlrabi that not only sweetens the soup but gives it a slightly earthy finish. Think of kohlrabi as a cross between cabbage and broccoli. You can also change up the stock. I used chicken stock this time but you could use a vegetable stock, fish stock or clam juice and garnish it with crab meat for a “gussied up version”.
To keep up with the holiday cookie countdown, I made a savory cookie to go along with the soup. I found a Parmesan Rosemary and Thyme Shortbread on Savory Simple, adapted from an Ina Garten recipe. This savory bite starts out much like a shortbread cookie but takes a turn with the addition of herbs, salt, a generous grind of pepper and parmesan cheese. Variations include using different herbs, use all thyme, or add a dash of cayenne pepper or some lemon zest–infinite possibilities! The cheese adds a nice finishing crunch to the cookie giving it the snap of a cracker. This cookie not only goes well with soup but would be great on a cheese plate with a fig jam or pepper jelly as a foil. Another holiday winner. So for cookie number 7 Parmesan Herb Shortbread with Potato Leek Soup. Enjoy!
And for your listening pleasure as you enjoy a hot bowl of soup and shortbread crackers…I Love the Winter Weather sung by the incomparable Tony Bennett!

Winding our way around the back lanes of the Isle of Wight we always find something new to discover and this time it is the Garlic Farm!
Whether you want to eat it in their cafe, buy it in their shop or check out how it grows in their farm – it’s a garlic lovers paradise (although the smell in the shop does get a little overwhelming!)
But we’ve headed to the sunflower field – a bit too late to see them all in bloom sadly, but the huge statuesque seed heads are still standing proud.
During high season you can take a tractor pulled trailer tour around the farm’s ample lands – or you can explore by foot yourself.
So enjoy some snaps of us grinning like fools amongst dead flowers – if you like!

A shot of Ocean Beach at Strahan. A wonderful beach but a.) not swimming weather - this is Tasmania after all - and b.) not a swimming beach because of the currents. But a wonderful, wide and long beach to look at and with those mountains in the background. We camped here.
Summer in Tasmania!!!!!! Only NZ does bad weather better than Tassie.
This photo was taken of us (no, Andrew is not a character from The Name of the Rose) on Sarah Island on the Gordon River. Sarah Island was an island where the worst convicts were kept but it was closed when Port Arthur was opened. We did a cruise on the Gordon River but the weather was rather bad on the day. The wonderful lunch was the only compensation.
Two shots of rainforests as we have not seen them elsewhere. It gets pretty wet on the western side of Tasmania.
But overall, Tassie does not get all that much rain, we gather. Hobart has the second lowest rainfall of all Australian capital cities.

One of our main interests in Block Chain technology is new and emerging payments systems, in particular cross-border payments that would be a cheaper, faster and more convenient alternative to established systems such as SWIFT.
Ethereum represented the second generation of Block Chain technology but is already looking dated with scalability hurdles that makes transactions slower and more expensive. Despite efforts to upgrade the Ethereum Block Chain we doubt it will be a long term payments platform.
Other decentralized platforms like Tron, EOS and Stellar Lumes have arisen and pose a formidable challenge to Ethereum at this moment but have their own limitations.
Tron is orientated towards online games rather than being a serious business ecosystem.
EOS and Stellar offer fast and reliable payments and have increasing acceptance in the banking community. However, they are much more centralised and thus luck the trust factor inherit in distributed peer-to-peer block chains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Bitcoin emerged in 2009 while Ethereum, EOS and Tron came along around 2015. Block chain technology is moving at such a fast pace that even 2015 seems like a long time ago.
At this point we can’t yet see a safe bet for Block Chain cross-border payments, as each option has serious limitations. Our preference would be an improved Ethereum block chain.

Middle School Band
Band class for fifth- and sixth-graders is a 12-week hands-on experience with each student choosing a band instrument and learning the fundamentals of playing that instrument. The curriculum focuses on learning notes, tone quality, rhythm and musicality. At the end of each 12-week rotation, fifth- and sixth-grade band students perform an evening program for parents.
For seventh- and eighth-grade band students, class is a full-year course, with the bands meeting five out of seven rotational days. Each band works on age-appropriate selections with emphasis on tone, rhythm, dynamics, ensemble and overall musicianship. Each student continues to improve on technique and skills through daily drills in class, including scale and chord studies.
The seventh- and eighth-grade bands typically perform two daytime assemblies and three evening concerts during the year. For more than a decade, one of the seventh-grade band's concerts is in collaboration with New Horizons Band, a program at Duke University that offers offers music experiences to people 50 years and older (learn more about the partnership in this video).

This winter has sucked. I haven't cared to look at the numbers but the snowpack has been shallow and dangerous. Too many people have been hurt or worse. I'm still feeling upset and disheartened that one of my skiing inspirations, Steve Romeo, was killed last week in a large avalanche in the Tetons. I hope his friends and family are finding solace in the knowledge that Steve was an inspiration to the entire community as has been evidenced by the outpouring of emotion and kind words in virtually every backcountry internet outlet.
That said, like Steve, I find myself "living to ski" amongst a couple other pursuits. So today, I donned my TetonAT visor, picked up the ever sanguine Jon Swain, and went looking for snow. We wanted to stand on a summit and ski something "big". Mr. Swain had never been up Lone Peak so the car found it's way to Alpine after an alpine start, leaving my warm bed at 5:15 AM.
We hiked up the dirt road by headlamp until the clouds were splashed pink above Box Elder Peak. Finding snow after an hour of hiking, we moved steadily and efficiently in skis over the firm textured surface. Jon stopped once to choke down a hard Powerbar, but pretty quickly we found ourselves chilled to the bone by 50 mph winds as we stood on the ridge looking into Bell's Canyon. We sought shelter on the leeward side and debated our next move.

It was readily apparent that with the high clouds and nuking winds, we wouldn't be enjoying any corn any time soon. Too bad. But, we both agreed that boilerplate is better than breakable and we still had a summit to stand on. Reluctantly leaving our hiding spot, we descended with skins until we could circumnavigate a bump on the ridge line and gain the South Summit of Lone Peak. We snapped a few photos and chewed some food with frozen jaws before descending our ascent path down the popular "Heaven's Halfpipe".

Near the bottom, Jon decided to rally for one more summit and we turned it around and headed up Bighorn's South Ridge. Again, the wind limited our summit stay and after some more bone jarring boilerplate skiing, we found ourselves trying to avoid scrub oak as the snow turned isothermic below the Second Hammongog. A few minutes later and we were back at our shoes sharing a Snickers bar while Jon was commenting on how great it is to ski something new (this was a repeat day for me but traded out the other guys for Swain). A few more minutes of hiking brought us to the only car at the trailhead. And, since it was lunch time, we then made a stop at Fong's Chinese Restaurant in American Fork. It's housed in an old American style diner but the food was top notch American style Chinese! You can never go wrong with rice. Check it out!
