so so SO much to say re: this article. Firstly, it treats integration primarily as a race issue and that's a damn shame. Though race surely factors into segregation in a huge way, the more important story around segregation is socioeconomics. Class. Money. The kids who come from more affluent schools do better and get more; the students in high poverty schools in general fare more poorly and get much less – regardless of race. The damage done by segregation comes not from racial concentration but concentrations of poverty (check out Kahlenberg's article "From All Walks of Life" for a good overview ).
Moving on…
The issue of CHOICE:
Says TheAtlantic "'All of the choice-based reform efforts that they've come up with over the last 20 years have been designed to bring back all the white people who left after Brown v. Board. But the irony is that, if [districts] keep relying on choice, they're going to be set up for failure because white people will not enroll their children in schools unless they're already [predominantly] white," said Natalie Hopkinson, a black parent and journalist, referring to extensive research showing privileged, white parents tend to send their kids to schools that they perceive as "high status." "So the segregation keeps repeating itself as long as you rely on choice as a way to make the change."
We need to be ever more clear that choosing a homogenous school is choosing against diversity. Segregated schools are not just those poor schools, those sad-state-of-affairs schools of color. Segregated schools are also those suburban seats of middle-classness. Those are segregated, too. This narrative needs to be all-inclusive.
Says TheAtlantic "According to King's plan, integration would indeed naturally result [my emphasis] from efforts like magnet programs, dual-language schools, or district-wide choice, strategies that can help draw middle-class white kids into high-poverty neighborhoods."
Okay. Can we talk about how all this magnet/choice/extra-cool-program work has trained us parents to go for the grab? School, plain ol' school just isn't enough anymore. I don't mean to completely lambast well-intentioned attempts at integration, but over the past 20+ years, it has made it virtually impossible to even consider sending our kids "just" to school. And having done this, and still we are more segregated than ever, I worry about the "naturally resulting" integration.. We have been working toward integration by hiding integration inside of the cool thing…
Water-cooler conversations are much more fulfilling when we can look like good parents because we got our kids into an arts-themed this or engineering-focused that. Frankly, I kind of want my kid to get all of it; she has plenty of time to narrow her interests in college – but can't it wait until then? (Okay. Yes. I know. It might seem that getting IN to college requires this extra-cool-badassery. This might be changing…)
Diversity/Integration should NOT be a "something cool", it should not be some bitchen X factor that we congratulate ourselves for. Nor should it be something we try to sneak in under the radar of something else. This is the beauty of public education's intent – that we teach all children and that we teach them together. Integration should be assumed and homogenous schools should be called segregated. We'll get there.
The issue of Good for Middle Class kids: You've heard this before but Kozol says it beautifully. So listen:
Says TheAtlantic "Better test scores, of course, aren't the only reason diverse schools matter. Integration is inherently good for all children. The cross-cultural exchange it allows prepares them for the real world—and, perhaps more importantly, to be good citizens. As Kozol put it, there's an innate value in children from different backgrounds interacting with each other "in all the ordinary ways that children come to know each other when they go to school together and play games with one another and share secrets with each other and grow bonded to each other by those thousands of small pieces of perplexity and fantasy and sorrow and frivolity of which a child's daily life is actually made."
The issue of the Tipping Point (and Socioeconomics)
Says TheAtlantic ""Schools will start to integrate and then very quickly lose that integration because we know that white parents are attracted to other white parents … When you talk about a 'bad' school, we can close our eyes and we know what color the kids are in those seats," said Hannah-Jones … [E]ven progressive middle-class parents who live in diverse cities, people who champion integration and condemn schools that are homogeneously affluent and white. …. In her widely read New York Times Magazine essay "Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City," Hannah-Jones, who lives in Brooklyn, described this custom as "carefully curated integration"—"the kind that allows many white parents to boast that their children's public schools look like the United Nations." Urban, progressive, white parents, she argues, want their kids to be around peers of color—but only to a certain extent."
"Carefully curated integration": NHJ does have a killer way with words. And we all know what she means. While she seems to be talking about some-but-not-too-many, I would add anecdotally (surely there is research somewhere on this, too) that many parents also love racial diversity as long as all the kids are dropped off in Priuses. Racial diversity is cool, especially if we don't have to deal with poverty! (Steven Colbert on busing "what's the use of living in a gated community if my kids go to school and get poor all over them?").
There is some research on a kind of tipping point wherein a school is no longer segregated nor interatING but actually integratED. (I've written a little on integratING vs. integratED). Some research suggests that when only 30% of a school is middle class, the students tend to "test" middle class and other research pulls that to 40-45%. And integratED schools – whether that be 32% or 47% middle class are much, much different than integratING ones. When a school is on the path to integration, already complicated things like navigating race/class difference are magnified by their newness. My kid is the last middle-class kid standing in the pilot 8th grade year of integration; it's hard (worth it. but hard). We have to be careful not to conflate emerging integration with established integration.
The issue of RISK:
Says TheAtlantic "Diversity is a nice idea, and few would say it's not a priority, but when it comes to one's children, a parent is seldom going to say diversity takes precedence over everything. And it's hard to blame them: For those on the privileged side of the spectrum, force-fed diversity often translates into a sacrifice or risk that very few parents would knowingly take."
I've talked about the idea of risk and integration before but I am not sure we can talk about it enough. Not only are we terrible risk managers (we won't allow our kids to play in the park because of sexual predators but are willing to drive all over hell and back; auto accidents versus stranger danger…? What's likely to cause the most harm versus what kinds of independent adults are we trying to raise? How do we do that math?)
But the assumption made in this article – that in order to send your kid to an integrated/ing school, you would have to place diversity above all else is false. And talk like this are subtle reinforcers of the BIG RISK of getting, you know, "poor all over." Sure, no one school is the "right fit" for all kids. However, middle class kids tend to become middle class adults regardless of where they went to school. Truth. So the risk until you're in it and know how it's working for your kid is….. …. ….?
The issue of COMMUNITY:
Says a NYC parent in TheAtlantic: "[This school] feels more like a choice … It feels like we're all buying into it." For Stewart—and so many American parents—that kind of agency matters, and for good reason. "You're buying into a social network of friends—it's not just your kid. It's who you want to hang out with on the weekends, what kind of places do you want to play, and that's complicated," she continued. I wanted a place "where I belong and feel comfortable and feel like my kid is becoming a good person."
I am completely empathetic… and also a bit cringey. I need to think about it and write about it more but this exact point about community is huge. Maybe it's just huge for me and this one NYCmom, but I am pretty sure I can generalize a bit. Early thinking – and don't hold me to any of this: we (me and maybe you) don't participate regularly in church/synagogue/mosque worlds, we live farther from family, our kids take up our social time, and we crave connectedness. Even though we swore that parenting wouldn't change us, that we would stay the fun selves of our pre-kid eras, our community emerges through our kids. Whether it becomes PTA or playgroups or carpools or sports/arts/music/interests, the worlds of our kids shape the worlds of much of our adult playtime, too.
So as NYCmom says, choosing a school for your kid also means a "social network" for you, too. It's your kid's education but not only your kid's education. This is not true for everyone at our school (and certainly wasn't true for my parents [my too-busy-for-all-that single mom] or my husband's parents [living life through church and rotary], but I think it matters to many of us… and it is something we don't often talk about. But we should be. What is community, what does it mean….???
The issue of SIGNING UP for INTEGRATION
Says TheAtlantic "The reality is that desegregation seldom happens organically. … policies that rely on the goodwill of parents and merits of individual schools have struggled to create wholesale, lasting integration.
This might be because we haven't really tried. We've tried top-down policy – and it worked for awhile. And it also led to white flight and the increased politicization of district boundary gerrymandering, etc… But we have never really worked it from the ground up— dirty grassroots style.
Says TheAtlantic "Many critics and civil-rights activists argue voluntary integration is a flawed ideal to begin with because … people's inherent biases continue to dictate the compositions of classrooms. School forums are rife with parents worrying about their child being "the only white student at the school," about their kid being picked on and bullied because she's more privileged—concerns that are well-intentioned, of course, but often stem from racial stereotypes."
A) worrying about theirs being "the only white student at the school," – again, the issue of integratED vs integratING….
B) worrying about theirs being picked on and bullied because of privilege – tabling this for later post. It's real, but…
Says TheAtlantic "Ultimately, many civil-rights scholars acknowledge that, however imperfect, voluntary schemes are the only viable option."
True that. It's up to us now.
And if more of us intentionally choose integration (and I think we will [stay tuned for more on this because I am weirdly optimistic!!!]) and we do so loudly and – even better – in a semi-organized way (hint: join the IntegratedSchools.org Movement!), then perhaps districts will pay attention. And if we are as strong as I think, sound, thoughtful policy that supports integration could follow. We've tried it the policy-first way, and now we are reaping those tragic results. Let's flip this bitch!

Look at you, sitting there with your AAA gaming titles, like you own the place. You've probably been indulging in the top titles of 2016 over Christmas. Battlefield One, FIFA 2017, Forza Horizons 3 and Gears of War 4. Perhaps these are too "mainstream" and not being a "filthy casual" you've been playing the indie darlings or PC exclusives from Steam. Darkest Dungeon, Inside Out, Super Hot.
While you've been playing the aforementioned games, I've been playing the epoch-shattering and paradigm shifting Update by Microsoft. A brave attempt to discover the pure essence of gaming, by distilling bold minimalist visuals and no audio into a groundbreaking experience that has to be seen to be believed.
Graphically, its stark monochrome background and bold simple text really highlight the overwhelming feeling of instant despondency when it says "Your console needs an update." Your excitement at getting to play your long anticipated game soon dissipates when you're forced to wait up to 90 minutes before you finally get to play a computer game…on a games console. Revolutionary stuff!
As an exercise in existential dread, it's an astounding and revelatory experience. Nothing makes me question my existence more than looking at my frowning reflection on a darkened screen while clutching a small rectangle of fluorescent green plastic. I'm looking at myself on a screen, but is it the same person looking back at me? Are his thoughts mine? Did he just blink? Metaphysical questions such as these abound in Update.
As a work of existentialism, it's genius. How many other games can actually make you question your hobby and existence? In fact, Update has been so successful, I often don't even allow it to start, preferring to do something more intellectually nourishing like reading a book or watching Furious Seven. How many games have you played that actually made you not want to play games? Genius!
Being denied the visual and aural stimulation promised to me, will see me start to question my horrific life choices as I stare at the sad balding man in the telly screen. "Man, I should not have gone to University." "I should have probably moved jobs after three years rather than waiting until I was made redundant". "I wonder if the PlayStation 4 does this."
In a way, as your mind wanders, you're using the most powerful graphics engine ever created. The human imagination, your beautiful mind. You can go anywhere and be anyone. Thanks a million, Update.
Watching the download bar go up by 1% every 3 minutes 22 seconds is really engaging. Inexplicably, it seems to get far slower the closer the bar gets to 100%. Will I have time to get a cup of tea? Run an errand? Go for a shower? The suspense is electrifying. Who knows what will happen next? It's a race against time and you're running a marathon.
Of course, once you start Update you're in for the duration. I hope you don't get bored because there's no turning back. Update has to update fully. For God's sake, don't turn off the console! I don't know what will happen. Perhaps it might open a time portal to another dimension where consoles work straight out of the packaging (to be fair the time portal would only need to go back to 2008). Who knows.
As an added bonus, the longer you don't play Update, the larger the game gets. How many other games can boast of such an innovative feature?
In fact, while playing Update, I usually find my phone more interesting. Update even makes you pick up, other, rival hardware while you're playing it. Incredible!
By the time Update finishes, you will have been taken on the full gamut of human emotion. From the dizzying highs of anticipation to the appalling lows of depression and boredom and then back round to the inevitable decision to do something else with your free time.
Update. 10/10. 50/10. 100/10. Game of the year, every year, all year from now on. Look out for its exciting sequel, Applying Update, coming straight after Update.

Registration Agreement
(Mauritius Country Code ( .mu ) Policy > Registration Agreement)
1. By applying to register one or more .mu domain names (the
".mu Domain name(s)") with an accredited registrar in the .mu ccTLD
(hereinafter referred to as an "Application") or by using one or more
.mu Domain name(s), the Registrant acknowledges that it has read and agrees to
be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as the following
documents, policies, and agreements which are incorporated into this Agreement by
this reference and which shall hereinafter (together with this Agreement) be
referred to as the "MUNIC Policies" - the .mu registration rules, the
privacy policy, the dispute resolution policy, the registry registrar
agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy and Complaint Resolution Service as
published by MUNIC at http://www.nic.mu
Providing true, current, complete, and accurate contact
information is an absolute condition of registration of a .mu Domain name
within the .mu ccTLD. If any Registrant Information provided during
registration or subsequent modification to that information is false,
inaccurate or misleading, or conceals or omits pertinent information, MUNIC may
terminate, suspend or place on hold the .mu Domain name(s) of any Registrant
without notification and without refund to the Registrant; and
Payment of fees is a condition to domain name registration. MUNIC shall be entitled to claim the Registrant (and/or Registrar or agent) for the registration for the domain name on receipt of an application to register for the domain name and for the renewal of the domain name registration on or before the renewal date. Payment must be made within the period stated in the invoice. If MUNIC does not receive payment within such period MUNIC is entitled, at its sole discretion, either to suspend or to delete the domain name registration from the database and if deleted, the domain name may be made available for registration to the public. If suspended, MUNIC reserves the right to charge you for redemption of the registration of the domain name. All fees are non-refundable in whole or in part, even if your domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your then current registration term. MUNIC reserves the right to modify fees, surcharges, renewals or institute new fees at anytime at its sole discretion. MUNIC also reserves the right to charge a service fee for administrative tasks outside the scope of its regular services. These include but are not limited to, customer services issues that cannot be handled over email but require personal service, and disputes that require legal services. To make sure that every registrant who registers a domain name pays their fair share of the costs of running the registry, we:
6.1 charge for the services we provide under this contract, do not have to start any process, including any change request, until we have received (within any time limit) any fee for that action and any other fees that have not been paid for the domain name or things done with it – it is your duty to make sure that we are paid and that there is enough information with the payment to make sure that we know which domain name it relates to;
6.2 reserve the right to levy additional surcharges, penalties and interests for late payments and may cancel the domain name without further notice if any debt relating to the domain name remains unpaid. Domain names are registered for fixed periods that are subject to renewal. If a customer does not pay for or renew a domain name registration, the domain name registration is subject to deletion at any time. In an effort to help our customers avoid unintentional deletion of their domain name registration(s), we may, but are not obligated to, provide our customers with a "grace period" after their domain name registration services expiration date(s) (a "grace period" begins on the day after the date of expiration). However, a grace period is not guaranteed and can change or be eliminated at any time without notice. Consequently, every Registrant who desires to renew his or her domain name registration services should do so in advance of the expiration date to avoid any unintended domain name deletion. If an expired domain name registration is not renewed during any grace period provided by us, rather than delete the domain name registration, we may renew and transfer the domain name registration to ourselves or to a third party. This renewal and transfer process is called a "Direct Transfer." A customer's failure to notify us that they do not want us to complete a Direct Transfer constitutes that customer's consent to the Direct Transfer. A Registrant who is in arrears, failed to pay for and/or renew a domain name registration is not entitled to deny a Direct Transfer. If a domain name registration remains unpaid or is not renewed, we will suspend and/or delete the domain name registration. We may (but are not obligated to) provide registrants with the ability to "redeem" a suspended or deleted domain name registration. Such a redemption is not guaranteed and registrants should settle all any arrears and renew their domain name registration services in advance. If we decide to provide the redemption service to a customer, we charge a fee of thirty times the higher of the registration fee or the amount outstanding to redeem and renew a domain name registration during the redemption. If the domain name registration is not redeemed, it is then placed on "Pending Delete" status, after which it is deleted.
7. Registrant Representations and Warranties. The Registrant
represents, warrants, and guarantees that:
In line with ICANN's TLD policies, the registry reserves the right to reserve high value, keyword or premium names and to sell or auction these at non standard pricing. The terms, pricing, requirements and allocation methods of these domains will vary.
11. Indemnity. The Registrant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MUNIC, the registry operator, accredited registrars and such parties' officers, directors, shareholders, owners, managers, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, lawyers and attorneys ("MUNIC Related Parties") from and against any and all claims of third parties or made by the Registrant, including, but not limited to all loss, liability, claims, demands, damages, cost or expense, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments, awards, executions and liens, including reasonable lawyers or attorneys' fees (which lawyers or attorneys shall be hired at the sole discretion of the indemnified party) and costs (including claims without legal merit or brought in bad faith), relating to or arising under this Agreement, the registration or use of the indemnified party's domain registration or other services, or to the .mu Domain name itself, including the Registrant's use, display, exploitation, or registration of the .mu Domain name, as well as for any infringing or otherwise damaging content displayed or otherwise made available on or by means of the .mu Domain name. If an indemnified party is threatened by claims or suit of a third party, the indemnified party may seek written assurances from the Registrant concerning the Registrant's indemnification obligations. Failure to provide such written assurances is a material breach of this Agreement. Failure of the Registrant to fully indemnify the indemnified party in a timely manner may result in termination, suspension, or modification of the domain name registration services and any such termination, suspension, or modification shall in no way prejudice or substitute for an indemnified party's right to seek indemnification by way of litigation or otherwise.

Gas airsoftability guns incorporate a gas flight (hence the mark) so your solo colourful years are ended and you can wallow in a more robotic shooting suffer. These guns drudgery in the identical way as the time of year ones in that a piston compressesability and drives air done the gun firkin to natural event the bb but because there's a "constant" gas indictment in the gun you can occurrence respective 12 rounds short havingability to vexation more or less cockingability it again.
You'll become aware of that maximum airsoftability gas guns are hangunsability or small piece of equipment guns - the Uzi anyone a reliable standard. Location are a few gas steam-powered rifles but these simply ever seem to be to be crack shot models and ne'er abuse firearm replicas. A bursting ninepenny airsoftability conflict firearm could run through an total gas fee or even a tin of trodden gas in newly a few moments. That identical amount of gas would supply an airsoftability shooting iron next to ample say-so to inferno off respective clips of bbs and leave of absence several gas to trim.
Your airsoftability gas firearm or machinegun is rechargedability done a lesser spout at the groundwork of the gun - usually freedom underneath the grip or hot where the munition morsel is inserted. Just grasp a can of gas into the spout and crawl the gun until it's full charged. For the opening few bursts the gun will be operational at to the top vigour and next it will increasingly die off until it's a scrawny sound thud and it'll necessitate to be rechargedability once again.Post ads:

Running an airsoftability gas gun ain't relieve but it doesn't cost the globe any. The running costs are, however, thing you condition to bear into statement past purchase one of these guns.

Twinlab Colon Care Review
Twinlab Colon Care claims to support a healthy colon and intestinal tract. I've been impressed with Twinlab products in the past. So, I was curious to see if Twinlab Colon Care would meet my high expectations.
After putting this product through a rigorous analysis, I wasn't disappointed with what I found. Here's the research that convinced me Twinlab Colon Care is a leading colon cleanser.
The Twinlab Colon Care Formula
Twinlab formulated Colon Care with a simple, yet powerful formula. These ingredients are completely safe and natural. Each one enhances colon health or promotes cleansing:
Barley Malt Seed Extract (17,000 mg) – Due to its high fiber content, barley malt adds bulk to stools. Besides improving bowel movements, the added bulk cleanses the colon and lowers cholesterol. Barley malt also promotes healthy bacteria growth to maintain balance within the colon.[1]
Psyllium Seed Husk (5,000 mg) – Psyllium is the most commonly used colon cleansing fiber because it's affordable. Also, most people tolerate psyllium better than other fibers. Research shows psyllium relieves constipation and enhances digestive health.[2] As a fiber, psyllium lowers cholesterol, reduces appetite, and may promote weight loss.
Bifidobacterium longum (136 mg) – The colon houses more than 500 bacteria species. These "good" bacteria help digest food and prevent disease. Bifidobacterium longum is a good bacterium. By increasing lactic acid, it prevents harmful bacteria growth. The bacterium also treats constipation, decreases inflammation, and prevents high cholesterol. In one study, it reduced colon cancer risk, too.[3]
Lactobacillus acidophilus (107 mg) – This is another good bacteria found in the colon. Lactobacillus acidophilus improves insoluble fiber digestion, which keeps the colon clean. It also increases acidity and prevents harmful bacteria from growing. By speeding digestion, lactobacillus acidophilus reduces colon exposure to toxins.[4]
In addition, Twinlab Colon Care contains several vitamins and minerals. The complete ingredient list is listed on Twinlab.com
Are There Any Side Effects?
Twinlab Colon Care contains safe ingredients and safe dosages. So, the side effects risk is very low. The only difference most users notice after taking it is frequent bowel movements, less constipation, and improved digestion.
User Reviews
I'm very impressed with the high ratings users give Twinlab Colon Care. Ratings don't lie, so only high-quality products receive great ratings:
• Supplementing.com: 4.1 stars out of 5 (14 reviews)
• Amazon.com: 3 stars out of 5 (3 reviews)
• iHerb.com: 4.2 stars out of 5 (9 reviews)
Only 3 people did not like Twinlab Colon Care. They said it tasted bad, didn't work, or caused their stomach to become upset. A fourth person said the product only produces mild benefits. However, the other 22 people really liked Twinlab Colon Care.
Satisfied users said Twinlab Colon Care works quickly to improve digestion. Some used it daily, others just used it as needed. One Amazon.com reviewer said he uses Twinlab Colon Care daily and hasn't had digestive problems for years.
I realize these 26 reviews are a small sample size and I would like to see more. But I'm glad to see the existing ratings are so positive. They show users like Twinlab Colon Care, which means new users will probably like it as well.
How to Use Twinlab Colon Care
For best results, take 1 Twinlab Colon Care serving daily. Using it as needed works too because Twinlab Colon Care kicks in fast.
One serving is 2 tablespoons powder. Mix each serving with 8 oz. water, milk, protein shake, or smoothie.
Make sure to take Twinlab Colon Care with enough liquid. If you don't, the product becomes difficult to swallow. In fact, people who have difficulty swallowing should not use it.
Best Places to Buy
The Twinlab Colon Care bottle holds 16 servings. Compared to other sites, these offer the best prices and customer security:
• Supplementing.com: $12.45
• eSupplements.com: $12.99
• Twinlab.com: $20.94
It doesn't appear these sites–or any sites–offer a money back guarantee.
About Twinlab
I wanted to know more about Twinlab because the company's reputation reflects on their products. The first place my research took me is BBB.org…
Unfortunately, the Better Business Bureau says they can't rate Twinlab because there isn't enough company information. I find this hard to believe since Twinlab has been in business since 1968. The company produces many popular supplements which are sold stores such as Walmart.
The Twinlab official website tells how the company got started, how many products they make, and where they are located. Phone numbers and hours of operation are provided, too.
Twinlab is a good company. They manufacture supplements in GMP registered facilities. Also, these supplements are high-quality and receive positive ratings from users.
Twinlab Colon Care blends fiber with good bacteria to cleanse the colon, improve digestion, and promote intestinal health. These ingredients are natural, safe, and effective. Most user reviews are positive, with people saying Twinlab Colon Care works well. The company is well-known and has a good reputation.
If you want a fast-acting, high-quality colon cleanser, I recommend buying Twinlab Colon Care.

La Prairie at a private press preview party for their new products due out in February. The brand requested I work only in gold and custom illustrate only profiles. Painting solely in gold was a unique request, and it took a few trips to the art store to settle on the right mediums to achieve various effects and looks I was after to render highlights and shadows in all one cohesive color. It took a few tries to find what worked but in the end I found the right golden portrait formula. I really enjoying experimenting with new mediums and techniques, and dabbling with mixtures of gold acrylic paint, gouache, ink, pastel, brush paint pens and pencil to successfully render golden profile portraits that reflected La Prairies new "endless radiance" product.

Syrian Army troops and popular forces continued their advances in the key town of al-Reihan and its countryside, capturing more building blocks, factories and lands in Eastern Ghouta on Wednesday, military sources said minutes ago.
"Syrian government forces have inflicted a heavy death toll on the militants and captured Jame'a mosque, city hall, sports stadium, over 30 machinegun-equipped bunkers and defense positions and 15 large strongholds," the sources said.
"The Syrian army soldiers have opened their way into an industrial zone in al-Reihan region and captured three factories that manufacture electrical devices, oil and electrical cables," they added.
"Army' engineering units have thus far defused a large number of bombs, explosive traps and landmines planted by the militants in buildings near the town's graveyard," the sources went on to say.
In relevant developments in the province on Tuesday, Syrian Army troops and popular forces ambushed a group of terrorists in Eastern Ghouta, leaving dozens of militants dead or wounded.
Syrian government forces carried out a successful ambush operation against the gathering of the Takfiri terrorists in the strategic village of Reihan near Douma, inflicting major losses and heavy casualties on them.
Based on local sources fierce clashes are underway inside the village as the pro-government forces are trying to capture Reihan.
"Jeish al-Islam terrorists have called on their comrades to rush to their aid," the sources added.
"If the Syrian Army seizes back Reihan, they will surround Tal Kurdi and inch closer to surrounding Douma," they pointed out.

Research shows, Brick and Mortar retailers are safe.Posted: May 4, 2015 Filed under: eCommerce Trends Leave a comment
Clicks won't be replacing bricks any time soon.
Online shopping has a number of benefits, but physical stores also have strong key advantages over e-commerce—especially for fast-moving consumer goods. In fact, the majority of global respondents (61%) reported that going to the grocery store is an enjoyable and engaging experience. A similar percentage (57%) thinks grocery shopping in a retail store is a fun day out for the family.
However, Nielsen research shows that clicks do lead to bricks and this is an important take-away for retailers and manufacturers who must engage the consumer early on the path to purchase. There are many touch-points along this path, which include finding the store, making shopping lists, checking prices, researching products, sharing reviews and manufacturer and retailer content on social media and finally purchasing.
"The connected commerce era has arrived," said Patrick Dodd, president, global retailer vertical, Nielsen. "Consumers are no longer shopping entirely online or offline; rather, they're taking a blended approach, using whatever channel best suits their needs. The most successful retailers and manufacturers will be at the intersection of the physical and virtual worlds, leveraging technology to satisfy shoppers however, wherever and whenever they want to shop."
Retailers have a lot of room to grow when it comes to in-store digital enablement options, such as mobile coupons, lists and shopping apps, and in-store Wi-Fi availability. Use of online or mobile coupons (18%) and mobile shopping lists (15%) are the most cited forms of in-store digital engagement in use today among global respondents, with about two-thirds willing to use them in the future (65% and 64%, respectively). Downloading a retailer/loyalty program app on a mobile phone to receive information or offers is used by 14% of global respondents, and 63% say they're willing to use one when it is available. About one-in-10 global respondents say they log in to store Wi-Fi to receive information or offers (12%), use in-store computers to view extended product ranges (11%) or scan QR codes to access more information (11%). Roughly two-thirds, however, are willing to use these options in the future (66%, 68% and 65%), respectively.
In-store digital enablement options can bring the ease, convenience and personalization of online to brick-and-mortar stores. Instituting digital strategies into the in-store experience is not just a nice-to-have—these options can increase dwell time, engagement levels, basket-size and shopper satisfaction. Among the online respondents in Nielsen's survey, use of in-store digital enablement options is highest in Asia-Pacific and Africa/Middle East. These regions also exceed the global average for willingness to use in-store options when they become available. Current usage is low in Latin America, but enthusiasm for them is high. More than seven-in-10 Latin American respondents say they're willing to use the in-store digital enablement options in the future. Mobile coupon usage is highest in North America (26%). European respondents have the lowest claimed usage levels for in-store digital engagement, but more than half (average 55%) say they are willing to try the options in the future.
"At present, shoppers do all of the work putting the pieces together to arrive at their final purchase decision," said Dodd. "In a competitive retail environment, retailers and manufacturers can add value and differentiation by providing digital tools to help consumers take control of their shopping experience while also increasing sales potential. Mobile in particular can tip the scales in favor of increased shopper control, empowering them to shape the shopping experience more than ever before."
"Time-starved consumers want to use technology to make shopping faster, easier and more efficient," said Dodd. "As we've seen with self-checkout, one of the more mature flexible retailing options included in the survey, as more retailers incorporate these options in their in-store and online offerings, adoption rates will likely increase."

Nathan McCatty of Lapeer and a Davison High School junior spent his summer completing and constructing his Boy Scout Eagle Project. Nathan is a member of Troop #168 of Davison. He has been in Boy Scouts for six years and has always aspired to become an Eagle Scout. Nathan has a passion for the outdoors too. He has participated in Hunter's Safety, a few fishing competitions, shoots skeet for his high school varsity skeet team, and has been a participant in the Flint Bowman Youth archery and Adult 3D leagues.
The Flint Bowman Club is an indoor/outdoor archery range that runs open shoots, leagues, and provides bow shooting lessons to a variety age groups. Nathan thought this would be a great place to complete his Eagle Scout Project. After meeting with the board members at the club, it was decided that a lean to on the existing pole barn would be a needed and well used space for the club to store equipment, trailers, and other supplies that were being exposed in outdoor unprotected areas.
The project entailed getting drawings, bids, township permits, ordering materials and building the whopping 80' x 10' lean to to code. Nathan was very fortunate to have a portion of the funding which totaled $2850.00 from the Flint Safari Club chapter.
"The project has taught me what it takes to be the 'big man' behind a project and the experience will help me with future projects," commented Nathan McCatty.
Nathan is currently completing further scout required paperwork and hopes to have his Eagle board of review completed before the new year to earn his Eagle rank.

There has never been a person on the planet who has reached the level of wealth that John D. Rockefeller achieved in his lifetime. At one time, his inflation adjusted net worth was $366 billion dollars. For perspective, that's more than five times Warren Buffet's wealth.
Mr. Rockefeller didn't start out with a small fortune, though. He actually had rather modest beginnings.
And while some might question some of the practices Mr. Rockefeller employed when he was head of the Standard Oil Trust, he employed a great investing principle. Instead of taking the risk of actually searching for oil, he found a point in the oil value chain that controlled distribution and provided stable cash flows -- refining and marketing -- and turned it into the integrated oil titan whose components eventually become the major American corporations Exxonmobil (NYSE: XOM), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), and BP (NYSE: BP).
In the spirit of John Rockefeller's early investing prowess, we asked a few of our contributors the following question: If John Rockefeller were to start from scratch today, what company do you think would be on his buy list? The catch, though, was that they couldn't use one of the companies listed above. Here's what they had to say.
Matt DiLallo: John Rockefeller got started with refining, but he became a very wealthy man by creating the world's first integrated oil monopoly. He was actually a bit too good at building an energy behemoth, as the Supreme Court eventually broke up his Standard Oil Company. If the famed industrialist were alive today, I'd be willing to bet he'd be drawn to another company with monopoly-like tendencies: Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI).
What made Rockefeller a really rich man was the fact that he could see kerosene and gasoline rising in importance in America. He then pounced on this megatrend by forming a company to refine petroleum, and then set out on a quest to grow his company by acquiring competitors so that it could be in the position to capture more of the profits from this megatrend.
In a way, that's exactly what Kinder Morgan is doing with natural gas. It has built or acquired a vast network of gas-related infrastructure to position the company to profit from the megatrend of surging gas demand.
While Kinder Morgan doesn't control that natural gas market -- although a third of the country's gas volumes flow through its pipelines -- it still has monopoly-like characteristics. This is due to the fact that pipelines are regulated, which means that not anyone can build a competing pipeline right next to Kinder Morgan's. Because of this, its customers typically sign up for long-term contracts, which locks in Kinder Morgan's cash flow.
These long-term contracts drive very strong fee-based cash flow into Kinder Morgan's coffers. The company then sends a bulk of that cash flow to investors via a generous dividend that's expected to grow by 10% annually through the end of the decade.
It's a dividend that would be music to Rockefeller's ears given the fact that he famously said: "Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in." Suffice it to say, Kinder Morgan would be a stock that Rockefeller would likely own if he were alive today.
Asit Sharma: One constant in John D. Rockefeller's business career was the use of leverage to expand his operations as rapidly as possible. In his mid-20s, after buying out his partners in the oil refining firm of Andrews, Clark & Company, Rockefeller undertook significant debt to grow the business. Within a few short years, the successor company, Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler, emerged as the most dominant oil refiner in the world. This process would be repeated with the formation and growth of the Standard Oil Company.
It's possible that, if Rockefeller were alive today, he would note many similarities between the oil refining business of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the solar industry of today. And he'd probably approve of the creative financing techniques of Solar City Corporation (NASDAQ:SCTY.DL).
SolarCity led the country in solar installations last year with more than 98,000 installations, and bills itself as the largest employer in the solar industry. Like most of its peers, SolarCity raises funds through tax-advantaged partnerships; yet it's also developed unique financing mechanisms to enable it to scale the hurdle of high upfront installation costs, and outpace its rivals in the process.
SCTY has introduced asset-based financing to the solar industry, a balance-sheet friendly structure in which receivables from customers' long-term energy contracts are used as collateral for borrowing. In addition, the company recently launched a $1 billion fund backed by Credit Suisse to ramp up its commercial installations, which until now have taken a back seat to residential deployments. Solar City has even developed "Solar Bonds," which allow individuals to participate in the growth of the industry as lenders.
If you want to conquer a nascent industry, you need lots of ready money. SolarCity has grasped that creative financing will allow it to channel a bit of John D. Rockefeller in its quest to remain at the forefront of solar expansion.
Tyler Crowe: I agree that pipelines would probably be high on Rockefeller's list of investing musts because of the burgeoning supply of oil and gas coming from the United States today. However, one component that seems to be forgotten when talking about oil and gas is natural gas liquids, and boy does the U.S. have more than it needs. While crude oil and natural gas exports have been severely restricted from leaving its soil, the U.S. has vaulted to the position of the world's leading exporter of natural gas liquids in just a few years. Of all the companies out there, no one has control over the natural gas liquids space more than Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD).
Want a near monopolistic control of a market? Enterprise's NGL pipelines are connected to every ethylene-processing facility in the U.S. -- ethylene is a product derived from NGLs. Its export capacity for NGLs gives it prominent port access in Texas, where almost all hydrocarbon-related exports take place.
What's more important than the fact that it has a near 100% market share is that it can convert those operations into cash. That cash can be distributed to investors, as well as grow the business. Unlike many of its peers that give away all of the available cash in the form of distributions, Enterprise has consistently retained cash to reinvest in the business and reduce its dependence on capital raises to grow its NGL empire.
There are not many opportunities out there today better suited for a Rockefeller-type starter investment than Enterprise Products Partners.

Hershey traced its roots to Lancaster Caramel Company, founded in 1886 by Milton S. Hershey. A subsidiary, Hershey Chocolate Company, opened in 1894. Milton Hershey retained the chocolate business when he sold the caramel operation for $1 million in 1900. He used the money to open what would become the largest chocolate factory in the world. He also founded a utopian community named Hershey, Pennsylvania, for the company's workers, and he established an orphanage and ensured that it would continue to receive a large percentage of the firm's profits after his death. By the 1990s the company was called Hershey Foods. It manufactured ice cream toppings, chocolate syrup, chocolate chips and other baking products, milk products, and various brands of pasta. The company led the U.S. candy industry with brands such as Hershey's milk chocolate bars, Hershey's Kisses, Hershey's Nuggets, Kit Kat chocolate bars, Cookies 'n' Creme white chocolate bars with cookie bits, York Peppermint Patties, and Twizzlers licorice. In 1996 Hershey also acquired Leaf North America, which made Jolly Rancher, Milk Duds, Whoppers, and PayDay candies. In 1998 Reese's was the largest and most popular of Hershey's brands and was valued at $350 million, according to Advertising Age.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were launched in 1928 by Harry Burnett Reese, the founder of H.B. Reese Candy Company. Hershey acquired the firm for $23.5 million in 1963 and began marketing Reese's Peanut Butter Cups nationally. The product consisted of specially processed peanut butter in a disk-shaped, milk chocolate shell with fluted edges. It was packaged in bright orange wrappers that contained two peanut butter cups. The first line extension, Reese's Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups, was launched in 1976. Other line extensions introduced over the years included small candies called Reese's Pieces, peanut butter Easter eggs and Christmas trees, peanut butter baking bits, peanut butter in a jar, peanut butter ice cream, and peanut butter puffs cereal. According to Brandweek, Hershey's total advertising budget for all its Reese's products was $33 million in 1997, up from $22.6 million in 1996.
From 1969 to 1988 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were promoted with the tag line, ''Two great tastes that taste great together.'' In 1988, after market research showed that consumers had developed individual, ritualistic ways of eating Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, the company launched a humorous campaign called ''There's No Wrong Way to Eat a Reese's'' that was still running in 1999. The new ads highlighted the candy's unique qualities and the many eccentric ways it could be eaten. One magazine advertisement that ran in 1998 showed two miniature peanut butter cups above two captions that both said, '''I eat them just like my brother.''' A second line of text explained, ''(Don and Dan, identical twins.)''
In 1995 Hershey supported its recently introduced Reese's Nutrageous candy bar—a crunchy combination of chocolate and peanuts—with a $9.5 million advertising campaign. In 1997 the company spent an estimated $10 million to launch another line extension, Reese's Crunchy Cookie Cups, which contained peanut butter, milk chocolate, and a chocolate cookie. The promotion included the distribution of 50 million coupons and 8 million free samples of the product. Later in the year Hershey began selling ReeseSticks wafer bars in limited markets. The ''The Crisp You Can't Resist!'' campaign was launched early in 1998 to support the national introduction of ReeseSticks.

a person of only 30 years create a new jazz label and record such
stars as Henry Threadgill, Anthony Braxton and the Art Ensemble
of Chicago? And also record new stars as the fascinating Fieldwork?
Pi Recordings is the name of the label and Seth Rosner is his owner.
Francisco Tapiz
talked with him (2003, december) about the label, its origins and
José Francisco Tapiz: What was your contact with jazz and/or
improvised Music before the creation of Pi Recordings?
Seth Rosner: The label began really because I had
an opportunity to record Threadgill. That was pretty much the inspiration
for the label. I had worked at the Knitting Factory from 97-99 and
came away wanting to have my own label one day, if for no other
reason that to try and do things my own way and of course to build
an identity for a label that I saw. Having met someone who was and
still is associated with Threadgill at the Knit I knew Henry and
knew that he was ready to record again. At the time that I began
the label I was in school studying music, but once the label began
it demanded too much time and attention. I would like to go back
to school eventually though. If not to study performance than at
least to study in the studio and eventually become more hands on
in the studio. At this time I do not work in the studio with the
musicians at all.
José Francisco Tapiz: What's the reasons that lead you to create Pi Recordings?
Seth Rosner: Again from having worked at the Knit
I knew how to proceed in terms of setting up distribution, radio
and press promotion etc. It took about 8 months from incorporating
to recording the first 2 albums for them to come out. In that time
I built an identity, logo etc and proceed to record and manufacture
CDs. I first got with my distribution company by piggy backing with
another label. Once my releases for 2002 were starting up they offered
me my own contract. I started the label because with all of this
know how and ability I wanted to be able to start my label and work
with the music as I saw fit. Of course I was also anxious to record
and release the music that I love as well.
José Francisco Tapiz: Did you have some label in mind when
you were thinking of Pi as a project?
Seth Rosner: I hold ECM, Blue Note, Nessa, and
Arista from the 70s in very high esteem. I definitely have tried
to emulate the way Blue Note artists recorded on many different
albums with many different people, and eventually all sidemen became
leaders in their own right. And of course ECM for their adventure
choice of artists and attention to studio detail.
José Francisco Tapiz: What's the reason for such a mathematical name as Pi for
your label?
Seth Rosner: The number 3.14…… is endless,
never repeats itself, builds off of what has come before it and
clearly has a logic to it despite the fact that it might not be
apparent to the naked eye. I feel that great music should and does
do the same thing.
José Francisco Tapiz:
It's some kind of joke that Anthony Braxton plays compositions that
approximately number Pi 100 times in his duo with Wadada Leo Smith?
Seth Rosner: Very funny but no, no connection between
Pi and what Wadada and Braxton do together.
José Francisco Tapiz: You say that "you have a very specific goal
towards working with composers". How do you try to reflect
this in Pi releases?
Seth Rosner: The composers that we work with all
record original music for us and many of them have their own musical
systems that they work with. I am thinking here of Henry and Wadada
especially. The goal of working with specific composers comes out
in our choice to only work with people who record their own compositions,
as opposed to standards and other songs well associated with jazz
and who have their own music and original approach to recording
music. This takes years to develop which is one of the reasons that
we have worked primarily with older established musicians who have
been putting their music together for their entire life, and one
of the reasons why it is so difficult to find younger musicians
with whom we can work and who we believe are carrying on the torch
and tradition set out for them by people such as Threadgill and
José Francisco Tapiz:
Can you tell us the name of some young musicians that are developing
a personal languaje and that in a near future could be recording
on your label?
Seth Rosner: Some young musicians who are developing
their own language that could one day wind up on Pi might be Rudresh
Mahanthappa, Craig Taborn, Mark Shim, and Dafnis Prieto to name
a few. Please keep in mind that some of the people above are in
my opinion in the midst of developing their language and direction
in music, all musicians are of course but perhaps some of these
artists are at an earlier stage than others, but I think that they
all show potential and the earnest motivation and ability to accomplish
what I think many of the older musicians that we have worked with
have accomplished.
José Francisco Tapiz:
In your first releases, composition and arrangements play a very
important role. In your two more recent releases (AEOC & Braxton-Smith
duo) I think that the improvisation is more important than the composition-arrangements.
Are you going to work with some kind of instant compositions or
free improvisation in future releases?
Seth Rosner: I don't have much interest in
instant composition or free music per se. Albums by Wadada and the
AEOC do have more of a focus on improvisation than say Threadgill
or Vijay, although I feel like Fieldwork rely as heavily on improvisation
as they do, they are still within the context of a very strong personal
sound and mode of writing. Whether that be Wadada's use of
his musical system Ankhrasmation or Braxton's own compositions
that draw from his many different bags to the way that the AEOC
have created a dialogue and language between themselves that is
all there own. On top of that I consider the AEOC's use of
little instruments and their percussion pieces to be a level of
composition/improvisation that is much different than the improvisation
or instant composition that you mention, although there are similarities
of course.
José Francisco Tapiz: Is there some other musicians with a very personal
language you would like to record specially?
Seth Rosner: Well I have always thought that if
I got to record Ornette Coleman I would stop right there and never
release another album. I would not stop but Ornette, and I am not
speaking just about music here because everyone that I have worked
with has accomplished something very important, but that beign said
Ornette has certainly accomplished more than most people out there
so to be able to work with him and document his music would be a
serious accomplishment and goal for the label.
José Francisco Tapiz:
You have just released two records of "newcomers": Liberty
Ellman and Vijay Iyer. What are you planning for the next year?
Apart from them (Ellman & Iyer), do you have any other new group
or musician (I'm thinking of such a surprise as Fieldwork was in
2002) for the next year? Is there going to be a next Fieldwork release?
Seth Rosner: Next year we will be releasing another
album by the AEOC recorded in the same time period and the second
set of Wadada/Braxton that was recorded that night at Tonic in NYC.
Fieldwork are beginning to work on a new direction for their music
and I do not know if they will be ready to record next year unfortunately.
I had hoped that they would but it does not seem to be realistic.
I am always speaking with Vijay about other projects though and
it does look like we may do something next year together again.
I believe that Liberty will wait to record a little while before
he goes back in as he has a different approach to how he wants to
work behind an album. There are other younger artists out there
though that we would like to work with and I would not be surprised
to see one of them record for the label. It is my intent to grow
the label with both the older and younger generations side by side.
José Francisco Tapiz: The two first releases of Pi recordings meant
the comeback of Henry Threadgill to jazz recordings. Are you planning
to record and/or release some new records of this great musicician?
Seth Rosner: I would love to record Henry again
when the time is right. That is a decision left up to Henry though
and we have not discussed it yet. I hope that we have a moment to
discuss it some time soon though as I value his music in the highest
sense and want very badly for the label to continue with him, but
as you know Henry has recorded for many labels.
José Francisco Tapiz:
Somebody says that we're living some kind of crisis in jazz and
in the music bussines. What's your perception about it?
Seth Rosner: The musical crisis that is happening
now has less to do with jazz than it does with what I think many
people look for out of life. I think that for one thing as life
becomes more complicated, as I believe it inevitably does as a culture,
world, society etc grows older we want simpler things from our forms
of entertainment. We do not want to be challenged as much because
we are looking at entertainment to take us away from the daily challenges
that life supplies. On top of that of course the role of jazz has
changed from what it originally was, not so much because of the
musicians working within that field but because of the possibilities
out there. Many of these possibilities will lead in directions that
at first glance are not as rewarding as earlier possibilities therefore
seem less appealing. It requires an interested and inquisitive person
to see that with time these choices open up even more possibilities
than one could ever imagine and that that in turn delivers us more
experiences and heightens our life. As all of life grows the choices
become greater. Some people will want to embrace those choices and
some will not. As far the business goes I feel very good about the
ability to get music out there to people. Whether it be through
the internet which allows you and I to speak and trade ideas much
more rapidly than was once thought, or just the ability to record
and document music more cost efficiently do to advances in technology.
The real challenge to the industry now is in trying to foster an
environment where artists can grow and develop their craft. Too
often the next big/young thing comes along and is thrust out there
with high hopes only to return with the same results as many who
have come before them. They lose their record deals and never have
a chance to grow in an environment where they can be seen by large
audience and that audience can become familiar with them. With time
the audience for jazz can grow if they see someone developing and
can follow that artist's growth.
José Francisco Tapiz:
For you, what are the future paths of jazz?
Seth Rosner: I am looking for the internet to allow people
to hear and see this music who would never have that chance. I think
that that is the future. Bands tour less now unfortunately, so they
must rely on the internet to get their message out there. It has
worked thus far in terms of getting music out there so I see the
next logical step as live performances via the internet. This will
hopefully result in growing the audience for music and then eventually
lead to the demand the band to perform live. As for the direction
of the music, well my tastes obviously lead me to seek out composers
who write their own music and develop their own systems of music
just as most of the founders and legends that we all hold in such
high esteem did.

Article Title
Graph, Spectral radius, Energy, Laplacian energy, First Zagreb index, Determinant.
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$ with $m$ edges. The energy of a graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(G)$, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of $G$. The Laplacian energy of the graph $G$ is defined as \[ LE = LE(G)=\sum^n_{i=1}\left|\mu_i-\frac{2m}{n}\right| \] where $\mu_1,\,\mu_2,\,\ldots,\,\mu_{n-1},\,\mu_n=0$ are the Laplacian eigenvalues of graph $G$. In this paper, some lower and upper bounds for $\mathcal{E}(G)$ are presented in terms of number of vertices, number of edges, maximum degree and the first Zagreb index, etc. Moreover, a relation between energy and Laplacian energy of graphs is given.

Family University 2012 invites the public to hear former NBA player Chris Herren speak about his struggle with substance abuse and his road to recovery on November 15 at 7pm. The powerful presentation for Ridgefield families, friends, and neighbors will be held at Ridgefield High School Auditorium, located at 700 North Salem Road in Ridgefield. The event is presented by the Ridgefield Prevention Council (RPC) and Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism (MCCA).
Intensive, long-term substance abuse treatment for his drug addiction is what placed Chris Herren, a former NBA player, back on the road to recovery. Herren shares his story with audiences in the hopes of reaching just one person and making a difference in their life.
Recruited by the top Division 1 programs, Herren started his professional career at Boston College. He left Boston College and was picked up by Fresno State after injury and failed drug tests. Drafted in the 2nd round of the 1999 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets, Herren played one year prior to being traded to the Boston Celtics in 2000.
Herren struggled with substance abuse for much of his basketball career. He has refocused his life to put his sobriety and family above all else and has been alcohol and drug-free since August 1, 2008,
"Addiction is an illness and there are plenty of people who are sick. I think it is important to get the message out about recovery because recovery is the key to restoring lives," said Herren, whose story is chronicled in the ESPN documentary Unguarded and his memoir, Basketball Junkie.
Herren has developed numerous programs and speaks to ensure that others–particularly young adults–have the same chance.
"Taking it one day at a time has kept me sober," he said. "I've had many law enforcement officers say to me that in the past, they had little empathy for addicts but after hearing my story, they began seeing it as an illness that requires medical treatment," said Herren, who spent 11 months receiving in-patient care to treat his addiction.
Chris Herren will speak about his struggle with substance abuse and the road to recovery on November 15 at 7pm. The powerful presentation for Ridgefield families, friends, and neighbors will be held at Ridgefield High School Auditorium, located at 700 North Salem Road in Ridgefield.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed neurobehavioral disorders of childhood. According to the CDC, the rate of parent-reported ADHD among children 4-17 years of age increased by 22% between 2003 and 2007, from 7.8% to 9.5%. In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics recognized neurofeeedback as a Level 1 treatment for ADHD.
Education & Software
The BFE has worked with many practitioners to encapsulate their different methodologies into BFE software suites for ADHD assessment and/or training. Some of these methods are for ADHD only and others are for a wide variety of disorders that also include ADHD. Click on the links below to learn more about the techniques developed by experts in the field.
ADHD Assessment by Drs. Vincent Monastra and Joel Lubar, with Dr. Francois Dupont
This suite takes the methodology from the hallmark published study Monastra, Lubar, et.al. 1999 and turns it into an easily applicable ADHD assessment for children and adults. All necessary reference material for the assessment tasks is provided with the software.
Setting Up for Clinical Success and Specialized Application Scripts by Dr. Lynda and Michael Thompson
From two of the top leaders in the field biofeedback and neurofeedback, their methodology developed and applied at their ADD Centre in Toronto, was packaged into these two software suites. Applicable to ADHD, including various sub-types, this methodology is also applicable to a wide spectrum of disorders.
ClinicalQ and BrainDryvr by Dr. Paul G Swingle
This method supports techniques developed by Dr. Paul Swingle from over 30 years of practice and teaching in the field of psychology and neurotherapy. His method utilizes a clinical database and includes the use of harmonics for training. Applicable to ADHD, including various sub-types, this methodology is also applicable to a wide spectrum of disorders.
Integrated Neurofeedback by Dr. Francois Dupont
The software suite is used as a neurofeedback tool, following assessment. The suite features simple training sessions for new clinicians or complex integration for experienced therapists. Applicable to ADHD, including various sub-types, this methodology is also applicable to a wide spectrum of disorders.
Troubled Youth by Linda Walker, MHR, LPC
In this suite, Ms. Walker has shared her eclectic training style and knowledge of a wide variety of biofeedback and neurofeedback therapeutic methods based on her experience working with troubled youth and their families both in the public and private sectors. Her treatment population has notable problems within the education system, due to ADHD and co-morbidities as well as paths marked with trauma from abuse, loss or family chaos.

Expert Opinions
by Michael Thompson & Lynda Thompson, Ph.D.
Do you both believe that EEG Biofeedback (neurofeedback) is useful for ADD/ADHD?
Absolutely! Neurofeedback (another name for EEG biofeedback) gives the individual the ability to recognise for themselves, what their brain is doing, and learn specific skills to improve their performance at school and at work. While working with A.D.H.D. children and adults, we both had an increasing realization that other therapies for children and adults diagnosed with A.D.D./ A.D.H.D. are only a partial solution. The simple use of Ritalin and other pharmaceuticals, even combined with behavioural approaches are limited, because the changes they produce are temporary. It is very clear now that A.D.D. is a neurologically based disorder. Read more…
Neurofeedback by Dr. Joel Lubar
Could you describe your current work?
My current work is primarily the development of databases and training protocols for treating individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) and associated co-morbidities. These include learning disabilities, oppositional and anxiety disorders and other problems that are commonly associated with ADD. I also spent a number of years in my career doing research and treatment of patients with seizure disorders and epilepsy. Read more…
