text: WYDaily.com is your source for free news and information in Williamsburg, James City & York Counties. Last summer, Piggott ventured on a 9-hour day hike along the Grand Canyon rim to the Colorado River. (Courtesy Maggie Fox) David Piggott does nothing half way. If you've seen him running through Williamsburg, or competing in the many local races in town, you know. His typical route finds him running the Colonial Parkway some days, or running from Penniman Road to Richmond Road and then down Monticello Avenue. "You see a lot of great people and it's a great route," says Piggott. He's even been known to commute to work on foot. Piggott works at Williamsburg Neck & Back, a chiropractic center, as a rehab aide and conditioning coach and also sees clients at Tidewater Physicians Multispecialty Group, where he's a personal trainer. The 28-year-old endurance runner, who runs shirtless and sports back-length dreadlocks, has been competing in more races lately in preparation for his biggest challenge to date, a 100-mile section of the famous STYR Labs Badwater 135 in Death Valley. Now in its seventeenth year, the STYR Labs Badwater 135 covers 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, Calif., and dubs itself as "the most demanding and extreme running race offered anywhere on the planet." The 2016 race, run July 18-20, drew 100 runners from 17 countries. With daytime temperatures reaching a scorching 116 degrees and athletes facing elevations as high as 8,300 feet, it should come as no surprise that not every competitor can finish the event. This year's race left 17 runners short of reaching the finish line. The course ends at Whitney Portal— the trailhead to the Mt. Whitney summit— the highest point in the contiguous United States. Currently Piggott's training includes roughly 40 to 50 miles per week, and since the daytime high temperatures of Death Valley aren't available in Virginia, he creates adverse conditions to simulate the run. "So some days you may have to run in sweat pants and in a double hoodie in the summer," he said. "Some days you go to the sauna and sit for hours. Some runs you run in a fast state without eating. Some runs you run without water. Majority of my training runs are done without food and water." David Piggott competes in the Lynchburg Half Marathon and 5K in Lynchburg, Virginia. (Courtesy Robert Copeland) Piggott wasn't always a runner. An active child and teen, he fell in love with martial arts and was convinced to give running a shot as an adult. "My friend Corey called me and said, 'Dude, you're if not going to fight professionally, you should try running," he remembers. Being someone who likes a challenge, Piggott decided that if he's going to give running his best effort, he was going to go big with it. He decided his first race was going to be a full marathon. "I had never run an official race," he said. "So I started training every day…I would get up every morning and run anywhere from five miles to eight miles." Piggott learned that every run is different — and from a health standpoint, that when you feel pain on a run, you have to learn to assess your routine. You have to check your shoes for uneven wear, check your posture, check your foot strikes. Understand your body and know what may be the cause of your pain. "I realized that if I run a seven-minute mile today, I can't run the same seven-minute mile tomorrow because my body hasn't recovered," he said. "As a runner, we think we're doing one thing but sometimes we're doing another. In recovery, you need to focus on eating good healthy food and get plenty of sleep." "You're building something. You can't rush fitness," he said. "America teaches us that in order to make gains you have to work hard. That may be true, but you can't rush it. You have to listen to your body." David Piggott prepares to cross the finish line at the 2016 Colorado Fund for Muscular Dystrophy 5K in Richmond, Virginia. He finished first overall. (Courtesy Maggie Fox) For those who want to start an endurance running habit, Piggott advises knowing your fitness level and addressing any issues you might have before you start. And he would know. As a trainer, he understands what it takes to build a body for endurance running, or any other sport for that matter. "You have to be a little crazy," says Piggott, who claims to be the first person to run the 53-mile Capital Trail from Williamsburg to Richmond. "Being an endurance runner is about building little by little. Think about when you were a kid and you have to learn the alphabet. You start with A through F, then you learn a little more and a little more until you get it. Then over the summer you learn how to write sentences and paragraphs. It's breaking it up into small chunks." He also encourages runners not not get caught up in tracking distance, but instead track your time as a measure of growth. "Don't time miles. That doesn't matter," he says. "If it's 60 degrees today and 80 tomorrow, your time will be different. Run for time—Monday run 30 minutes, Wednesday run 30 minutes, take Thursday and Friday off and Saturday run an hour. If you happen to know how any miles you run, cool, but don't be stressed about hitting a certain number of miles. You'll take the enjoyment out of it." In the end, Piggott's true test as a trainer will come in 2018, when he puts his own body to the test in Death Valley during the STYR Labs Badwater 135. "It is one of the hardest places you can run," Piggott said. "Most of the people who run there have to run on a line in the middle of the road because the concrete will melt your shoes. It can get up to 120 degrees out there. And I have a go hard or go home mentality, so I want to be the best at this, so what better race to attack than Death Valley?"

Smiler's Fair by Rebecca Levene (Hodder £8.99)
If you like your fantasy with a heavy dose of gritty realism, this should slip down a treat. Most of the expected trappings of fantasy-world fiction are here: a pre-Industrial landscape peopled by warriors and mages, mammoths, a tribe of subterranean cannibals called the Worm Men, and even a giant talking bat (which speaks in early Modern English, for some reason). But the world feels more than usually solid, full of blood, sweat, pain, thirst, hunger, sharp swords, and hard edges, and there is more sex and violence than you could shake a stick at. Smiler's Fair is a travelling carnival, where at one time or another all the main characters put in an appearance: there's Eric, a young male prostitute (or "sellcock"); Dae Hyo, a skilled but drunken warrior with vengeance on his mind; Marvan, a psychopathic swordsman; Nethmi, a young noblewoman who is married off to a shiplord of the frozen North; and Krish, exiled son of the King, whose destiny it is to raise an army, overthrow his father and found a new kingdom – if he can escape being killed for the bounty on his head. All this in the shadow of an impending war between the moon-worshippers and the sun-worshippers. Most of the characters are cold-blooded murderers, some many times over; but though they are not all easy to like, you can't help but be caught up in their interlocking fates. It's a little bit Tolkien, a little bit Philip Pullman, a little bit Neil Gaiman. Certain events stretch credulity, even within the fantasy world, and there's an excessive number of convenient coincidences; nevertheless, while I was reading this I took it very seriously. It's the first novel in a trilogy, and I'll certainly read the others if they come my way.
A Lovely Way to Burn by Louise Welsh (John Murray £7.99)
Don't start reading this if you have a long To-Do list; it's a hypnotically readable thriller, and you won't get much done until you've finished it. A new and lethal virus – "the sweats" – has hit London, and indeed the whole world. Stevie Flint at first doesn't realise what is happening; she is too busy trying to work out how and why her surgeon boyfriend died, and why everyone wants to get hold of the laptop he left with her. As her quest to find the truth continues, the virus spreads; people are dropping like flies, but Stevie turns out to be immune. What's gripping about this is the way the two stories, the crime thriller and the gathering apocalypse, combine to create something tenser and scarier than either alone. The way that society gradually disintegrates is brilliantly done; it makes you feel just how fragile civilisation is. The prose is as sharp as a scalpel. My only gripe is that there are a couple of scenes in which characters give lengthy explanations that would take about half an hour to deliver in real life, which slightly dents the verisimilitude.
The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert (Bloomsbury £8.99)
So far there have been five major extinctions, such as the one that killed off the dinosaurs around 65 million years ago. Elizabeth Kolbert's thesis is that we are living through the sixth. We've reached the end of the Holocene (the time since the last Ice Age ended) and are now in the Anthropocene – an epoch whose fossil record will show geologists of the far future (if there are any) a mass wipe-out of species. Kolbert goes through the evidence for all the previous extinctions and makes a convincing case that the sixth is under way, and we're responsible. The book gives an extraordinary sense of deep geological time, as well as a sense of urgency about what is happening now. This is popular science at its best – and most disturbing.
Night School by Richard Wiseman (Pan £8.99)
Night School draws on the latest research to explain why we need seven to eight hours sleep a night (and naps when we can get them), and how to employ sleep to improve health, help you learn a musical instrument or pass an exam (we remember things best if we study about four hours before sleep), and solve problems. He investigates sleepwalking and night terrors, offers a new way of interpreting dreams, and suggests techniques to give yourself pleasant dreams – and even lucid ones. It's written in a popular, accessible style, with plenty of quizzes and practical exercises. This book changed my life in a very concrete way; since reading it I try to find time for a siesta every afternoon. And I have science on my side.
1965 by Christopher Bray (Simon & Schuster £8.99)
The year 1965 was, according to Bray, when the modern world began: the fulcrum of the "Long Sixties", when the gap between high and low culture began to be bridged, when homosexuality was legalised and Roy Jenkins banned flogging, when Winston Churchill died, Bob Dylan went electric, and the first black man played in an FA Cup Final. Of course one could cherry-pick significant events from any year in the 60s and say it was a watershed – Larkin made a good case for 1963, after all – but Bray's argument is pretty convincing. His range of reference is wide, and this is full of fascinating nuggets – for example, every Beatle owned a Mini, except Ringo who had two. However, the style did begin to grate after a while.

- Pace of road construction threatens Reds in Chhattisgarh
"Sukma has seen a lot of road construction in the last couple of years and naxals see this as their biggest enemy. CRPF, which is playing a major role in road construction in Chhattisgarh, often comes under attack," K Vijay Kumar, security adviser on Left-Wing Extremism in the home ministry said.
- Curtain falls on Kashikar's stage as he succumbs
Nagpur: Theatre fraternity of the city took a pause to pay respects to Sanjay Kashikar, a popular technician who was known for his set designs, background scores, light arrangements and direction. Kashikar had suffered a head injury in a road accident on April 10. He succumbed at Neuron Hospital at 9.30am on Monday. Survived by his wife and daughter, Kashikar was a much loved person among the theatre circles of Nagpur. The news of his demise left many of his friends and associates grieving. Giving a tragic touch to his demise was his daughter Aouni, who wrote a paper for her BA IInd year exam just before her father's funeral which was held in the evening at Sahakar Nagar ghat. Remembering his 40-year association with Kashikar, theatre actor and producer Sanjay Bhakre said, "He was the only full time set designer in the city who was helpful and cooperative. He excelled as an actor and director. We have done many plays together for which he won prizes." Describing him as a fine member of theatre community, actor Kishor Ayalwar said, "His contribution to staging of a play was total in terms of set design, background score and lights. He was the backbone of this industry." Remembering his ever smiling demeanour and helping nature, Pramod Bhusari, former president of Nagpur chapter of Akhil Bhartiya Natya Parishad said, "He would always be smiling while doing even small tasks like putting nails on the sets. He came from a humble background but was always eager to help the upcoming theatre directors who wanted to stage a play." Working with him since 1982 for Painjan Ranghbhoom, actor Mukund Wasule said, "He had a very creative eye and I remember some of the sets which he created for us like a peepal tree for the play 'Parikrama', for Tarpan he designed ghats which looked so natural." A perfect gentleman who was eager to help and pitch in to ensure that the show goes on, is how Manohar Mhaisalkar, president of VSS, describes him. "90% of the sets done in this city were made by him," he says. For theatre actor Vinod Indurkar he was a rare combination of designer, actor, musician and director. "His commitment to theatre was immense and we could always depend on him to deliver on time," he said.
- No coordination between blood banks and hospitals, 6 lakh litres of blood wasted in five years
MUMBAI: In the last five years, over 28 lakh units of blood and its components were discarded by banks across India , exposing serious loopholes in the nation's blood banking system. If calculated in litres, the cumulative wastage of 6% translates to over 6 lakh litres —a volume enough to fill up 53 water tankers. India faces, on average, a shortfall of 3 million units of blood annually. Lack of blood, plasma or platelets often leads to maternal mortality as well as deaths in cases of accidents involving severe blood loss. Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu were among the worst offenders, discarding not just whole blood but even red blood cells and plasma as the life-saving components could not be used before their expiry date. In 2016-17 alone, over 6.57 lakh units of blood and its products were discarded. The worrying part is that 50% of the wasted units were of plasma, which has a shelf life of one year, much longer than the 35-day deadline by which whole blood and red blood cells have to be used. The spoilage has been laid bare in data provided by the National Aids Control Organisation (Naco) in response to an RTI query filed by petitioner Chetan Kothari. Read this story in ગુજરાતી Maharashtra, which is the only state to have crossed the one-million mark vis-a-vis collection of blood units, also accounted for the maximum wastage of whole blood, followed by West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. Maharashtra, UP and Karnataka bagged the top three positions in the wastage of red blood cells. UP and Karnataka also wasted the maximum units of fresh frozen plasma. In 2016-17, over 3 lakh units of fresh frozen plasma were discarded, which is surprising given that the product is imported by several pharma companies to produce albumin. Crusaders for safe blood blamed the crisis on the absence of a robust blood sharing network between banks and hospitals. Donation camps involving thousands of participants have particularly come under fire, with many blaming local politicians for using them as a tool to please constituents. Dr Zarine Bharucha of the Indian Red Cross Society pointed out that a collection of up to 500 units was acceptable and manageable. "But we have seen and heard of camps where 1,000 to 3,000 units are collected... Where is the place to store so much blood?" she added, "Why can't people walk into regular banks and donate once every three months?" she said. Dr Satish Pawar, head of the directorate of health services in Maharashtra, said that the wastage could be attributed to a "noble health plan to curtail maternal deaths". "We have created more than 200 storage centres in interior areas for emergencies... We would rather be prepared to save a life than worry about unused units of blood," he said. While Naco officials could not be reached for an official comment, a senior health ministry official told TOI that Naco had allowed banks to transfer units last year. "In 2016-17, there is a near 17% fall in wastage. Also, hospitals have to keep blood in emergency reserve to deal with mass casualties," the officer said. Read this story in Bengali
- Independent MLA trashes red beacon removal directives

- Thane teen's pair of pet guinea pigs treated for conjuctivitis
THANE: It had been barely a week that Siddhansh had adopted a pair of guinea pigs and was shocked to see blood coming out of its eyes. He rushed the tiny animals to a veterinarian and found that the two were suffering from red eye conjunctivitis. Veterinarians said this was a common infection among guinea pigs if kept in unhygienic conditions. "Mello and Near had been kept in unhygienic places by the seller, due to which they got the bacterial infection. They were given antibiotics and it took a week for them to recover," the teenager said. These animals can even lose their sight, if not given timely treatment, experts said. "Red eye conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the eyes' outermost layer. Four out of 10 guinea pigs suffer from this infection. They pee and poop many times and it's necessary to keep them clean. Owners are asked not to self-medicate these animals as they are allergic to many antibiotics," said Dr Rina Dev, an exotic animals specialist. "The house or cage of these animals should be cleaned twice a day and the guinea pig should be given a bath once a week. Their bedding of wooden shavings must be such that it can absorb urine, Dr Dev added. Some symptoms to watch out for are—keeping eyes constantly closed, swollen eyes, watery fluid or blood discharge and redness on the edeges, the specialist said.

- Now, Himachal scraps use of red beacons atop vehicles
SHIMLA: Following on the footsteps of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Himachal Pradesh too has scrapped the previous notification allowing the use of red, amber or blue beacons atop the vehicles. In a new notification issued on Friday, government has made it clear that barring the judges of high court, no one else could use the red beacons on their vehicles. The notification issued by principal secretary (transport) Sanjay Gupta informed that the state government has withdrawn the use of red, amber or blue lights on the top of the official vehicles of all dignitaries except the chief justice of Himachal Pradesh high court and judges of high court. With this notification now, government, chief minister, cabinet ministers and others would not be able to use the red lights on their vehicles while chief parliamentary secretaries and MLAs would not be able to use amber light on their vehicles. Chairman and vice-chairman of different boards and corporations besides officials would not be able to use the blue light on their vehicles. The move is being dubbed as a step towards ending VIP culture in the state. Before Friday's notification, there were some VIPs who had voluntarily removed the red light from their vehicles. Those doing it voluntarily included governor Acharya Devvrat, former chief minister and leader of opposition Prem Kumar Dhumal, few MLAs and vice-chancellor of Himachal Pradesh university.
- Madhya Pradesh: Netas & babus surrender red beacons
Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh government will strictly monitor compliance to stop use of beacons atop official vehicles by ministers and officials. Most ministers of Shivraj Singh Chouhan cabinet and senior officials have complied with the diktats of the Centre and removed red and amber beacon from their vehicles. However, some senior officials are waiting and enjoying the status symbol for a few more days. State government has warned strict monitoring to restrict use of red and amber beacons and state transport department has circulated a central government notification about instructions on removing red, amber and blue beacons from official cars. State Congress has also objected to the misuse of red beacons by some politicians. Welcoming the Centre's decision to ban use of red beacons, Congress alleged it has put a check on the VIP culture and misuse by the family members of the ruling party members. They not only flaunted the beacons as a status symbol but also harassed public and employees to throw weight about their influence. "In Madhya Pradesh, most of the politicians and officials misuse red beacon to flaunt their VIP status. In some cases, government employees were manhandled and beaten by these VIPs," said Congress state spokesperson Vibha Patel. After the decision to remove red and amber beacons, officials of Chhindwara, Jabalpur and Gwalior districts came forward and did so voluntarily to remove the beacons atop their official vehicles. They were followed by the officials of the state secretariat and other departments. Even chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan instructed all officials to remove their red and amber beacons from the official vehicles. Officials in the state secretariat said that government will ensure that the ban on red beacon be strictly monitored and implemented before the due date of May 1.
- Belapur locals see red over construction in green zone
Navi Mumbai: While the world celebrated International Earth Day on Saturday, the CBD police station and Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) received a letter from locals about unauthorised activity inside the mangroves at sector 15, Belapur. "Locals of sector 15, CBD Belapur, told me about some unauthorised work taking place inside the green mangroves belt, next to the walking promenade. A lot of debris dumped inside this restricted green zone and some workers constructing a concrete platform there can be seen at this spot. Since it is damaging the mangroves and is a clear violation of the Environment Protection Act, I have submitted the complaints to CBD police and also NMMC,'' said BJP Navi Mumbai general secretary, Vijay Ghate. Santosh Deshpande, a resident, said, "The site where illegal concrete construction is being carried out is barely 200 metres away from the Glass House structure, which was demolished around four years ago after it was found to be illegal. It is not right to see such illegal activities taking place so close to the NMMC head office in Belapur." Additional municipal commissioner, Ankush Chavan, said, "I will ask civic officials to check and probe the issue at sector 15 and take appropriate action.'' Meanwhile, another activist Anarjit Chauhan said, that it is alleged that some civic contractors are behind this illegal structure work being carried out within the mangroves. A type of platform is being made so as to allow people to do yoga on it. However, this is further destroying the mangroves, he said.
- HC judges, other VIPs remove red beacons from their vehicles
CUTTACK: All judges of Orissa High Court on Friday came to the High Court without red beacons on their official vehicles. Three judges had removed the beacons on Thursday itself following the Centre's decision to do away with VIP culture. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was among the first in the state to remove the red beacon atop his vehicle on Wednesday evening. Justices Indrajit Mohanti, Dr B R Sarangi and Shatrughna Pujahari were the first among the judges of the High Court to remove the beacons. Several other high-ranking government officials, including the district collector, have removed the red beacons from their vehicles. The Odisha government in 2013, after the Supreme Court's observation that beacons atop vehicles of dignitaries are contrary to constitutional ethos, had made a move to ban red beacons for VIPs other than constitutional heads like the Governor, the Chief Minister, the Speaker and the Chief Justice of High Court.
- Odisha: Traders selling red beacon feel pinch of Centre's restriction
Chief minister Naveen Patnaik was prompt to withdraw red beacon from his car after Centre's directive to VVIPs across the country to stop endorsing the lal batti culture. But for those, who sell the product, Narendra Modi's move came as a shocker.

Harvest has done the job for me for at least 5 years. I absolutely love the product. Great app as well on both iOS and Android.
Pros :
Cons :
No cons honestly... obviously would be nicer if it were cheaper, but is better than all other products on the market that do the same thing and priced about the same as them.
Toggl does it just what you need for time tracking without flooding the UI with unnecessary features. They seem to hide things and show things at the right time.
Pros :
Cons :
I started using Toggl as a time tracking tool, but then switched to Harvest because it integrates with Asana and is more feature rich. Toggl is a relatively basic tool. It's focus is on adding a task and tracking time. About the same thing you can do with your phone stopwatch app and a spreadsheet, so the value add there is minimal. However you can also organize by projects and track billable time. I paid the $5 Pro fee to add billable time. You can then also have more than 5 team members. Overall I felt it was too basic to suit my needs for a robust time tracking and billable platform, like I've found more so in Harvest.

aymo is the app I'll be using to run my business starting next week. After searching for an app with a feature wishlist that is pretty much summarized by Paymo's actual feature list, and an implementation that doesn't make me hate time-tracking, I'm sold.More about Paymo

Harvest is an online time and expense tracker geared towards entrepreneurs and small businesses. The Harvest service also provides tools for sending invoices and creating estimates, both incredibly handy for small business owners.More about Harvest

Toggl is a leading time tracking program with an outstanding web interface. It lacks some core functionality of the competing products (auto-stop, auto-start and screenshot monitoring), so if you intend to use it primarily for employees working on PCs, consider Screenshot Monitor that has equally great web interface and gives you more features on the desktop. But if you do not need screenshot monitoring or have to have Mac, Linux or mobile support, as of 2014 Toggl is the best choice on the market for time tracking applications.More about Toggl

Overall, I believe that small businesses with smaller budgets will get a lot out of the Yanomo solution in terms of project management and budgeting. Yanomo accomplishes a lot for its price and has all the basic features that small businesses need in terms of project management, including budgeting, invoicing and scheduling as well as sharing out important information with colleagues. The solution does not have a lot of bells and whistles. It really does not need it – it's straightforward and for the most part, easy to learn with a bit of practice.My one suggestion is for the team at Yanomo to supply a demo or FAQ for some of the product's more advanced features as that will help any newbie angst.More about Yanomo

Atmospheric aerosol particles play an important role in atmospheric processes, and have significant impact on global climate, air quality and human health. The effects of secondary aerosol still represent one of the largest uncertainties limiting understanding of climate change. The secondary aerosol originates from gas-to-particle conversion, which is also called New Particle Formation (NPF). NPF in coastal and marine air has not been clearly studied. In many coastal areas NPF events appear frequently, however, in remote marine environments, NPF events occur only occasionally. This book, which aims to give information on neutral charged particles during the coastal NPF and to elucidate the different behaviors of negative and positive particles near the coastal line and on the ocean, therefore, provides detailed analysis of measurement results in coastal and marine atmosphere. The analysis should help shed some light on speculating and understanding the mechanism of atmospheric NPF, and should be especially useful to professionals in Atmospheric Science fields, or anyone else who wants to understand the physical processes in atmosphere.

Garage Sale Finds
How about a nice old whiskey barrel for $5?
This ice bucket with stand was also $5. I'm going back and forth on whether or not to paint it white or keep the metal color. The basket is definitely getting a makeover.
The green chalkboard reminds me of elementary school and the gold mirror is getting a chalkboard makeover. Oh and can't forget the vintage 1938 math book.
I could have spent the entire day shopping but, alas, I could not. How'd you do?

Unholy hell THANK YOU for this story! I just recently got into Dragon Age, and after finishing the game and delighting in the outcome of the Warden/Zevran relationship, I have badly been wanting something like this. Yours was actually the first DA story I even found, so boy did I get lucky. This is honestly 100% everything I had hoped for! Everything is perfect, everyone is perfect! I love that you use so much game dialogue, as well, since after finishing the game I had longed to replay simply to hear certain parts again. But then you went and used them in this and it totally gave me what I wanted without having to play through hours of the game. Perfect.
Your Warden is also exactly what I always pictured he ought to be, and exactly what I wanted him to be. It's so rare to read someone else's work and have their muse turn out to mirror my own so perfectly. So many points in the story I worried that you would veer onto a path that would differ from what I wanted to read, but you never did, and every word was exactly what I had wanted and hoped for.
So, once again, thank you for writing something so utterly perfect! I can't believe how much I lucked out in not having to search long in order to find exactly what I needed. :)

Hello ;-) I am quite new to the story (that is, I was given link to it yesterday...ish. I guess it was something around 4 am, to be honest:P) and I need to admit that it is quite nice story. Really pleasurable read, indeed.
I like how you add some depth to Zevran. He's my favourite character in Dragon Age, and seriously, well written Zev is always a pleasure for me;-)
...and I must admit, though I've just finished reading that I am somewhat impatient to know how it'll end. I do hope that whatever ending you have in mind will be nice one for our little assassin tho:)

Abstract painting is a personal thing…painting feelings, abstract thoughts, and looking at life in different colors and shapes, and letting your enegry flow from your heart and soul. If you don't feel it that way don't paint…But when you do…Paint, paint, paint . I have over the years taught many people abstract artworks…looking at objects, things, people in different ways. Painting the thoughts the feelings and passions. We all see things in different ways.

"I first used Giftbasketsoverseas.com months ago. I placed an order from USA going to Russia. I placed on a Saturday night and it was delivered to my friend on Sunday. I was amazed how quick it was. I just placed my 2nd order on May 3rd another Saturday night and again it was delivered the next day. My friend loved it. Her Mom is going in the hospital for surgery so I just wanted to give them some joy. They forgot to put my card with the message with gift. It really was not a problem but they really stepped up and the next day brought my friend a complimentary box of chocolates. That was a great gesture and I will be using gift baskets solely and will recommend to anyone that will be shipping abroad."

"I had some problems with the delivery but not because of the company or your service: the phone of my grandmother was not working but I sincerely appreciate doing your very best to deliver on Saturday, 8pm and very prompt communication during the process. Thank you very much for such a great service that allows to reach the loved ones from overseas. I will certainly use your service again! "
Julia M - Auckland, New Zealand - Sep 29, 2015
"My parents live in Israel. My dad did not feel well recently so I decided to send him a gift basket. It was a bit tricky finding a company that delivers to Israel, as I did not want to send just flowers and chocolates. I recently had a bad experience on Valentine's day with another service my boyfriend used, so I took care to do ample research on the net. I found giftbasketoverseas.com and chose the luxury wine and cheese basket. They were so professional and called me within a few hours to verify that I indeed put in the order. My parents got the basket right on time, and were basically knocked off their feet by it's beauty and luxury. So worth it! I will always use this company for future orders. It's so important when it's a gift for you loved ones! Highly recommend this experience for anyone who want to send a gift basket. The variety is also amazing with regards to options on their website. "

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and impairment in executive functions: a barrier to weight loss in individuals with obesity?
© Cortese et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2013
Received: 31 March 2013
Accepted: 15 July 2013
Published: 7 November 2013
An increasing body of research points to a significant association of obesity to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and deficits in executive functions. There is also preliminary evidence suggesting that children with ADHD may be at risk of obesity in adulthood.
In this article, we discuss the evidence showing that ADHD and/or deficits in executive functions are a barrier to a successful weight control in individuals enrolled in weight loss programs. Impairing symptoms of ADHD or deficits in executive functions may foster dysregulated eating behaviors, such as binge eating, emotionally-induced eating or eating in the absence of hunger, which, in turn, may contribute to unsuccessful weight loss. ADHD-related behaviors or neurocognitive impairment may also hamper a regular and structured physical activity. There is initial research showing that treatment of comorbid ADHD and executive functions training significantly improve the outcome of obesity in individuals with comorbid ADHD or impairment in executive functions.
Preliminary evidence suggests that comorbid ADHD and deficits in executive functions are a barrier to a successful weight loss in individuals involved in obesity treatment programs. If further methodologically sound evidence confirms this relationship, screening and effectively managing comorbid ADHD and/or executive functions deficits in individuals with obesity might have the potential to reduce not only the burden of ADHD but also the obesity epidemics.
KeywordsADHD Executive functions Obesity Treatment resistance
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is defined by persistent, age inappropriate and impairing levels of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity [1]. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th edition, Text Revision, IV-TR [1] defines four types of ADHD: "predominantly inattentive", "predominantly hyperactive-impulsive", "combined", and "not otherwise specified". Although outside the scope of this article, since the final text is not yet available, we note that the core structure of the diagnostic criteria is largely unchanged in the forthcoming fifth edition of the diagnostic manual.
ADHD is one of the most frequent childhood-onset psychiatric conditions, with an estimated worldwide-pooled prevalence exceeding 5% in school-age children [2]. Impairing symptoms of ADHD persist into adulthood in up to 65% of childhood-onset cases [3] and the pooled prevalence of ADHD in adults has been estimated at ~2.5% [4].
Executive functions are defined as a set of neurocognitive skills that are necessary to plan, monitor and execute a sequence of goal-directed complex actions and include inhibition, working memory, planning, and sustained attention [5]. Besides the behavioural core symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, deficits in executive functions are commonly, although not universally, associated with ADHD [6]. Indeed, executive dysfunction is not required for the diagnosis of ADHD, which is defined at the behavioral, rather than neuropsychological, level. Additionally, ADHD is usually comorbid with other neurodevelopmental and/or psychiatric conditions, such as learning disorders, oppositional defiant/conduct disorder, mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and sleep disturbances [7, 8].
Currently, the mainstay of treatment, at least for severe cases, is pharmacologic, with psychostimulant medications (methylphenidate and amphetamines) as the first line, and non-stimulants as secondary option [6, 9]. Non-pharmacological treatments, such as behavioural therapies, diet regimens, cognitive training, and neurofeedback, are also available. Although the empirical evidence for their efficacy for ADHD core symptoms is so far weak [10], such treatments may effectively address related behavioural or neuropsychological dysfunctions.
Because of its core symptoms as well as associated disorders/conditions, ADHD entails an enormous burden on society in terms of psychological dysfunction, adverse vocational outcomes, stress on families, and societal financial costs. The U.S. annual incremental costs of ADHD have been recently estimated at $143-$266 billion [11] and high costs have been reported in other countries as well (e.g., [12]).
Studies assessing the rates of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in clinical samples of treatment-seeking individuals with obesity
First author (year) [ref]
Sample characteristics
Key findings
Altfas (2004) [21]
215 patients with obesity treated in a specialized obesity clinic (Males: 22; mean age: 43.4 ± 10.9 years)
Prevalence of ADHD in the whole sample: 27.4%. Prevalence of ADHD in individuals with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2: 42.6%. Mean BMI loss among patients with ADHD: 2.6 BMI (kg/m2) vs. 4.0 for non-ADHD (p < 0.002)
Erermis (2004) [22]
30 adolescents with obesity (Males: 14; mean age: 13.8 ± 1.2 years) seeking treatment in a paediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic
Prevalence of ADHD: 13.3%
Agranat-Meged (2005) [23]
26 adolescents in a tertiary referral centre for obesity (Males: 13; mean age: 13.04 ± 2.8 years ), all with morbid obesity (BMI > 95 percentile)
57.7% of the subjects presented with ADHD diagnosed with semi-structured interviews
Fleming (2005) [24]
75 women with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2) (mean age: 40.4 ± 7.25 years) referred for non surgical treatment of obesity
26.7% of women reported impairing symptoms of ADHD in both childhood and adulthood
Alfonsson (2012) [25]
187 individuals (Males: 50; mean age: 44.28 ± 6.02 years) with obesity, candidate for bariatric surgery
10% of the subjects presented with ADHD. ADHD symptoms significantly correlated with anxiety, depression, and disordered eating ("lack of control over eating", "eating alone because embarrassed", "eating until feeling uncomfortable", and "feeling guilty after overeating")
Gruss (2012) [26]
116 patients (Males: 31; mean age: 44.28 ± 6.02 years) candidate for bariatric surgery
12% of the patients screened positive for ADHD. Rates of Binge Eating disorder did not differ between patients with and without ADHD
Nazar (2012) [27]
150 women (mean age: 38.9 ± years)
Prevalence of ADHD: 28.3%. ADHD was significantly correlated with more severe binge eating, bulimic behaviors, and depressive symptoms severity
With regards to executive dysfunctions, there is an emerging literature indicating their possible association with overweigh/obesity. In a recent systematic review [28] including 31 papers limited to children and adolescents, Reinert and colleagues concluded that inhibitory control, assessed with several neuropsychological tests, was the most consistently impaired executive function across studies. About 77% of the retained studies in children and 73% of the papers relative to adolescents with obesity reported a significant impairment in this executive function. Additionally, scores on neuropsychological tests assessing inhibitory control were significantly lower (p < 0.01) in children with obesity than in normal weight comparisons, when pooling data across studies. Another recent systematic review [29] considering individuals across the lifespan and using a different approach in the selection of the papers, showed that decision making, planning and problem solving were the most compromised domains, although the authors note the high heterogeneity across studies in the methodology and in the selection of the neuropsychological tests.
Summarizing, there is increasing evidence that both ADHD, at least considering samples of treatment-seeking individuals, and deficits in executive functions, even in the absence of a formal diagnosis of ADHD, may be associated with obesity. Additionally, there is preliminary evidence that ADHD may causally contribute to obesity/overweight. However, an important aspect to note is that the impact of ADHD or executive dysfunction on obesity outcome is still underexplored. In the next section, we discuss the preliminary evidence showing that ADHD or executive dysfunction may represent an important barrier to successful weight loss in patients with obesity during weight loss programs. We also point out the clinical implications of these findings, as well as possible future research directions in this emerging area of investigation.
Several possible dysfunctional behavioural pathways associated with either ADHD (as a categorical diagnosis) or related neuropsychological deficits in executive functions lead to hypothesize that impairing symptoms of impulsivity, inattention or hyperactivity (the behavioural core symptoms of ADHD) and/or related neurocognitive impairment may be a barrier to successful weight loss during treatment interventions for individuals with obesity.
First, it is possible that impulsivity and deficient neurocognitive inhibitory control foster impulsive and dysregulated eating behaviors, which, in turn, would hamper the success of dietetic regimen. These abnormal eating behaviors include binge eating, "external eating" (i.e., eating in response to food-related stimuli, regardless of the internal state of hunger or satiety) and "emotionally-induced eating" (i.e., excessive eating as a response to emotional states), all of which have been related to obesity and overweight [30, 31].
Second, another dysfunction related to impulsivity and deficits in inhibitory control, namely altered reward sensitivity, may also contribute to dysregulated eating behaviors. Indeed, a subset of individuals with ADHD present with a preference for small immediate over larger delayed rewards [29, 32]. This could therefore hamper dietetic efforts when considering eating-related rewards deriving from appetizing foods.
Third, it has been noted that attention and related executive functions such as planning and organizational skills are important for a successful adhesion to dietetic regimen and regular physical exercise [18], both of which underpin effective and sustained weight control.
The previous hypotheses of a correlation between ADHD symptoms and/or executive function deficits and abnormal eating start being supported by empirical evidence. With regards to ADHD symptoms, Cortese et al. [33] found a significant correlation between inattentive and impulsive ADHD symptoms and binge eating behaviors, even after controlling for comorbid depression and anxiety, in a study of 99 consecutively referred severe obese adolescents (12-17 years). By means of structural equation modelling, Davis et al. [30] found a significant correlation between ADHD symptoms and abnormal eating behaviors (including binge eating and emotionally-induced eating) in a sample of healthy adult women (25-46 years). Using the same modelling, Strimas et al. [34] confirmed these results also in a sample of 145 non-clinical adult males.
There is also evidence that deficit in executive dysfunctions are related to abnormal eating behaviors, although causal relationship has not been tested. For example, in a study of 55 women reporting weekly binge eating in the absence of regular compensatory behaviors, Kelly et al. [35] found a significant correlation between frequency of binge eating behaviors and deficit in executive functions such as flexibility in thinking and shifting attention. By means of path analyses, Dempsey et al. [36] confirmed a significant correlation between deficit in executive functions and overeating behaviors in a sample of 135 individuals from the community. This evidence has been extended to young children. Pieper and Laugero [37] recently reported a significant correlation between executive function deficits, measured by means of child-completed tasks and parental as well as teacher reports, and eating in the absence of hunger in a sample of 29 preschool children (3-6 years).
While the correlation of impulsivity and inattention domains to abnormal eating behaviors associated with obesity may be intuitive, one could think that the hyperactive component of ADHD is not involved at all and, actually, it may favour weight loss rather than weight gain. However, it is well known that the motor hyperactivity of ADHD is not constant. Actigraphic measures have shown that motor hyperactivity is modulated by situational variables and may be indistinguishable from normal when there is sufficient stimulation. For example, no significant differences in hyperactivity levels between children with ADHD and healthy comparisons have been detected while watching television, whereas children with ADHD show significantly more hyperactivity during classes at school [38]; it is important to note that children with ADHD have also been shown to watch more television than non ADHD children. Interestingly, psychostimulant medications induce an increase, rather than a decrease, and a normalization of motor activity during physical education, where movement is appropriate and expected [38]. It is also possible that excessive motor activity in the morning during breakfast hampers a correct consumption of breakfast; in turn, skipping breakfast has been shown as a risk factor for weight gain and obesity [39]. Additionally, restlessness during lunch and dinner may decrease regular food consumption during these structured moments, with inappropriate and excessive compensatory calories intake outside meals. Therefore, we hypothesize that the balance between the tendency to overeat in an irregular way following irregular breakfast and meals, from one side, and the inconstant energy expenditure associated with motor hyperactivity in ADHD, on the other side, may explain why ADHD hyperactivity contributes to increase the risk of obesity.
So, if ADHD or related executive functions deficits foster abnormal eating behaviors contributing to obesity, is there evidence supporting that ADHD and executive dysfunction also represent a barrier to effective and lasting weight loss in individuals with obesity? This starts being reported in the literature, although further and more methodologically sound evidence is needed.
In an observational study of 215 adults with obesity in a specialized clinics, Altfas [21] was the first to note that those without comorbid ADHD achieved nearly twice the BMI loss compared to patients with comorbid ADHD, despite the fact that the latter engaged in more visits, thus suggesting a pattern of "taking more time to accomplish less" associated with ADHD. Afterwards, in a study of adults involved in a behavioral weight loss program, Pagoto et al. [40] confirmed that participants with ADHD reported more previous weight loss attempts and lost less weight than those who did not screen positive for ADHD. Another recent study showed that patients presenting for bariatric surgery (BS) with comorbid ADHD had significantly more difficulties in following visits after BS than those without comorbid ADHD [41].
Indirect support to the hypothesis that executive function deficit is a barrier to effective weight control is also provided by a longitudinal prospective study by Speranza et al. [42] who found that alexithymia was a significant predictor of treatment outcome at 3-year follow-up in a sample of youths with eating disorder. Indeed, alexithymia is related to executive function deficits, as summarized in [43].
Given this preliminary literature, a crucial question is whether treatment of ADHD and/or improvement in executive functions are also effective in decreasing/preventing obesity in children with both conditions. There is initial evidence indicating that the answer may be affirmative.
In a study [44] of 242 individuals with a lengthy history of weight loss failure consecutively referred for refractory obesity, 78 patients (32.2%) screened positive for ADHD. Of these, 65 started pharmacotherapy for ADHD with psychostimulants, in addition to standard management for weight loss, and were followed up for an average of 466 days. Those who refused pharmacological treatment or who did not tolerate it for adverse events (n = 13) were also followed up, serving as comparisons, and received standard care for weight loss management. At follow-up, individuals who received treatment lost 12.36% of their initial weight, whereas comparisons gained an average of 2.78% (p < 0.001). A putative confounder in interpreting these results is the possible anorexigenic effect that may be associated with psychostimulant treatment. However, appetite reduction was evident in the first 4–6 weeks of treatment, but then it diminished and vanished in most of the subjects within 2 months. Therefore, the authors of the study concluded that it is unlikely that the anorexigenic effect of psychostimulants contributed to the weight loss at follow-up, after more than one year from the start of the treatment. A limitation of this study is its design: although the study was controlled, it was not randomized. Indeed, since the pharmacological treatment for ADHD is effective and is recommended in several guidelines, [6, 9], for ethical reason it was not possible to randomize participants either to pharmacological treatment or placebo. As such, this study cannot provide high-level evidence. Although a randomized study testing the effects on weight of psychostimulants for ADHD would be challenging, interestingly, there is preliminary evidence from a randomized trial [45] suggesting that the training of executive functions is highly effective to improve the outcome of obesity. In this trial, Verbeken and coworkers assessed the effects of executive functions training with video games aimed at improving inhibitory control and working memory. They randomized 44 children (8-14 years) who were in the final part of a 10- month inpatients treatment program in an obesity centre to either 6-week executive functions training or to standard care for weight control. At 8 weeks after the training, children in the training group showed significantly better weight loss maintenance than those in the standard care group.
Clinical implications
If further methodologically sound studies confirm that ADHD and/or related executive functions deficits are a barrier to effective weight loss, it would be worthy for the clinicians and professionals involved in the management of obesity to screen for ADHD and impairment in executive functions. We note that professionals involved in the treatment of obesity usually do not have an appropriate knowledge of ADHD and related disorders. A systematic screening and appropriate treatment of ADHD and/or executive functions deficits might not only reduce the burden of ADHD, but also improve the outcome of patients with a past history of weight loss failure. This is particularly relevant in terms of decreasing the stigma associated with obesity. Unfortunately, a common belief manifested not only by the lay public but also by some professionals is that individuals with obesity may fail to succeed at weight-loss programs due to their "laziness" [46]. Inattention and related impaired executive functions, as well as impulsivity that hamper the appropriate adherence to a regular diet regimen, might be mistakenly attributed to laziness and "character problems". Therefore, awareness that unsuccessful weight loss may be due, at least in part, to neurocognitive impairment could contribute to decrease the stigma associated with obesity.
Future research in the field
We believe that the relationship between ADHD/executive functions and obesity, as well as the impact of neurocognitive impairment on weight loss management, is still in a developing phase. While the cross-sectional relationship between ADHD and obesity starts being well characterized from a clinical descriptive standpoint, further longitudinal studies are needed to better assess the causal relationship. Studies aimed at elucidating common neurobiological and genetics underpinnings are still in their infancy (e.g., [47]) and need further attention. Perhaps even more important in terms of implementation science would be to assess, by means of rigorous randomized controlled trials, the effects of ADHD treatment or executive functions training on weight outcome in individuals enrolled in weight loss programs. In particular, it would be highly relevant to establish if early management of ADHD in young children leads to further better obesity outcome later on. However, given the challenges, from an ethical standpoint, of conducting long-term randomized controlled trials where participants are assigned either to an effective treatment for ADHD or to placebo, longitudinal studies comparing the weight outcome of obese children treated with ADHD medications vs those who opt for non pharmacological approaches or no treatment, matched for baseline BMI and socio economic status, could provide useful data. This design will likely require multi-center recruitment. Research in such area is worthy and could contribute to decrease the worldwide obesity epidemics.
Preliminary evidence suggests that comorbid ADHD and deficits in executive functions are a barrier to a successful weight loss in individuals involved in obesity treatment programs. If further methodologically sound evidence confirms this relationship, screening and effectively managing comorbid ADHD and/or executive functions deficits in individuals with obesity might have the potential to reduce not only the burden of ADHD but also the obesity epidemics.

Whether it was the sultry weather or the apparent artlessness of Oelze's performance, the audience seemed underwhelmed until the very end. Oelze's voice trilled like a skylark's and she sang settings of Goethe by Schubert, Schumann and Wolf completely without mannerism or affectation. Yet even the miracle of a lovely young voice completely without technical problems can pall, and by the end of the evening one was craving some sign of suffering and experience. Oelze became more like flesh and blood in her encores, simply because she relaxed and spent twice the energy she'd risked earlier.
The New Budapest String Quartet is still undervalued in this country, if the empty seats at its Queen Elizabeth Hall concert in London last Friday are any indication. Far from 'new', it adopted its name a few years after the old Budapest Quartet disbanded in the Sixties and, in artistic terms, no quartet is more mature.
As a group the four players are unusually unified and their sound is as mellow as old mahogany. There's also something intensely private about their music-making, which in Mendelssohn's E minor Quartet was not so much reserved as understated, belying the expectation of an extrovert piece which the programme note prompted.
This month Hyperion releases their recording of the complete Bartok Quartets, but they played Kodaly's less well- known Second Quartet on this occasion, before the English cellist Andrea Hess joined them in Schubert's C major String Quintet. She fitted in perfectly with their serene yet concentrated conception. The still moments, like the transition out of the disturbed middle section of the slow movement, or the fathomless Trio section of the Scherzo, were spellbinding, while the finale danced with a subtle spring that made other performances seem galumphing.
Some years ago the Royal Opera reclaimed Berlioz's early opera Benvenuto Cellini from the compromises of productions in the composer's own lifetime. A similar version was performed in concert form, in French, by the Chelsea Opera Group at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on Sunday. Though it ended at 11pm, the evening felt much shorter zzthan it was. With small amounts of spoken dialogue and no recitatives, there was hardly a dull moment. The opera turned out every bit as good as the famous overture, with ecstatically athletic writing for Cellini, his sweetheart Teresa and apprentice Ascanio, and outrageously original orchestral music boasting saucy string effects for the carnival and preposterously deep brass choruses accompanying the Pope.
Under Adrian Brown, the whole thing went with great verve, even if some of the wind and string tuning was rough, and the energetic choruses often ragged. The cast was strong: Justin Lavender, with his dark yet lissome tenor, was superbly ardent and accurate in the title role, well contrasted with the sensuous warmth of Teresa Cahill as his sweetheart and complemented by the boyishly dashing Margaret McDonald as his apprentice.
Being a literary type (and an effective music critic), Berlioz developed the art of the musical 'programme'. By the end of the 19th century, scenarios had come to seem like justifications, or at least ploys to woo an audience. Today's equivalent are technical explanations, such as Dominic Muldowney gave the audience before the first performance of his Trumpet Concerto at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on Monday.
He did at least explain why the soloist John Wallace, the pianist, clarinettists and percussionists of the Premiere Ensemble, as well as the conductor Mark Wigglesworth, all wore headphones while the strings and woodwind did not: they were playing in three different tempi simultaneously and kept in time with click-tracks.
At isolated moments I think I perceived that; but for most of the piece's 20 minutes the effect was of tricky syncopations within tricky time signatures common to everyone, even though the three layers had clearly differentiated musical characters. The Concerto was partly derived from one of Muldowney's own songs, and sounded jazzily beguiling, like a clever juggling act in rhythm, but also sharply inventive in terms of instrumental colour; vainglorious soloists might have felt there was too much to take attention from them.
Muldowney's syncopations were elite compared with those offered by the raucous all- electric band Icebreaker at the Purcell Room the following evening. Graham Fitkin's Mesh had a sense of shape and harmonic warmth not shared by anything else in the programme, most of which relied on crude impact with diminishing returns.
The news was the world premiere of Slow Movement by American flavour of the month David Lang, a 30-minute exercise in sombre, very slow and slightly shifting harmonies. The idea is a challenge simply because it's so hard to make compelling, and with Icebreaker's muddy sound, Lang's piece seemed merely like vamping.

In your college process, you will make profound discoveries, build a supportive community, and experience joy, connectedness, and excitement. How does this promise change your perspective on the challenging work ahead?
Navigating the college search and application process is a meaningful journey with the capacity to teach you about yourself, your family, your community, and the many new and different communities that might become your undergraduate home.
In the continuum of this work, there are distinct phases. At the beginning of the process, it's important to create time and space for reflection. Strive to better understand who you are as a leader and thinker and the contributions you hope to make to the world. In time, you will learn about potential college matches by doing research online, speaking with mentors and guidance counselors, and perhaps making campus visits. Come senior year, you familiarize yourself with logistics, the steps needed to complete your college applications. You record deadlines, start writing and proofreading essays, and organize school-specific requirements. The college process does not end until after you receive your acceptance letters and decide which campus community best supports your identity, ideas, and goals.
A curious mind, open communication with mentors and supporters, patience, and initiative are important tools to bring to this journey. The resources below, including my blog Page 217 and the Penn Admissions Blog, are designed to further guide your college process and your research into the varied and brilliant opportunities at Penn.
Stay connected, and best of luck,
Eric J. Furda, C'87
Dean of Admissions
