Helping Children with ADHD Focus at SchoolPosted by: SchoolFamily on Nov 18, 2009 in School Success, Learning Disabilities, Kids Learning, ADHD |
Just came across this blog by Kay Marner about sensory objects that help ADHD kids focus at school. Great stuff! Good teachers are always looking for sensible ways to make classroom accommodations for kids with ADHD. "Fidgeting" has been shown to help ADHD children focus in the classroom.
Enter fidgets. Fidgets = strategies for coping with ADHD. Blogger Kay describes fidgets as "small objects with a little sensory appeal" that kids can hold in their hands and fiddle with. The idea is that by providing a sensory motor activity a child can do while focusing on the main activity, it helps them stay on task and concentrate. Doing two things at once can actually help focus the ADHD brain.
Read Kay Marner's blog for some great suggestions for the full range of fidgets!
If you have some of your own favorite strategies to help kids with ADHD focus in the classroom, please be to sure to share with others in our comments section!
Teenagers suffering from ADHD lag behind in academic, social and professional life. ADHD causes stress and gloominess in life. Treatment centers offer the services in inpatient and outpatient for the affected adolescents. Certified clinics recommend most effective medicated drugs such as strattera, ritalin, adderall, concerta, metadate, Focalin for ADHD treatment. Along with certified medication treatment various effective behavioral and cognitive therapies are prescribed by counselors for ADD recovery.

HP announced their updated Spectre x360 at Mobile World Congress. Like the Lenovo Yoga, it has a hinge that flips the entire way around, allowing the laptop to function as a 13.3-inch tablet with a 1080p, IPS display. There are two stages between "tablet" and "laptop", which are "stand" and "tent". They are basically ways to prop up the touch screen while hiding the keyboard behind (or under) the unit. The stand mode is better for hands-free operation because it has a flat contact surface to rest upon, while the tent mode is probably more sturdy for touch (albeit rests on two rims). The chassis is entirely milled aluminum, except the screen and things like that of course.
The real story is the introduction of Core i-level Broadwell. The 12.5-hour battery listing in a relatively thin form-factor can be attributed to the low power requirements of the CPU and GPU, as well as its SSD (128GB, 256GB, or 512GB). RAM comes in two sizes, 4GB or 8GB, which will depend slightly on the chosen processor SKU.
Prices start at $899 and most variants are available now at HP's website.
That's right, for those of you who pre-ordered Homeworld Remastered and for anyone that pops by Steam to purchase it, your productivity is in for a serious hit as you try to guide your fleet to a new homeworld and then defend it. For those lucky and old enough to have played through it originally you will find the look vastly improved and from what Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN and other reviewers have found you will also love the improved interface. For those who have not had the pleasure of playing through these two games before, the $33 investment is more than worth it, especially with improved multiplayer coming in the near future. Check out the videos and overview of the poster child for revamped legacy games here.
You will have to take a break this Saturday though, as the Fragging Frogs Virtual LAN party #9 kicks off at 10AM ET and will end when the last frog drops. You can check out the official thread in the forums right here to get all the information you need to participate. AMD and other mystery sponsors will be giving away prizes to those who log into and participate in the TeamSpeak channels; not to mention it is the best way to chat in game and in the general lobby. You can also check out the list of games that will be played as well as links to the mods and patches you will need, please download and install them before Saturday to maximize your playing time. See you there!
"In terms of strategy games which 'need' remastering, Homeworld was probably somewhere at the bottom of the list. But in terms of strategy games which really, truly benefit from remastering – well, this is a chart-topper."
Here is some more Tech News from around the web:

The yearly gaming mecca known as QuakeCon, featuring the biggest BYOC (bring your own computer) LAN in the great state of Texas, is set to kick-off starting July 23 through the 26. What you didn't know is that the QuakeCon team announced the registration dates for the event. Like last year, all pre-registration spots in the BYOC will be pay-for only with no First-Come-First-Served spots available.
This year, there will be a total of five registration rounds offered:
If you a familiar with the QuakeCon pay-for packaging strategies, most of the packages look familiar. The newest package offering is the UAC Command Center Seating package, featuring a VIP seat in the NOC with direct access for your system to the backbone and guaranteeing you the fastest network access at the event.
Package details after the break.
Vertical mice sometimes help those with issues with their cubital or carpal tunnels by relieving pressure due to repetitive arm and wrist movement. They have been around for a while but do not often get reviewed which is why it might be worth checking out eTeknix today. The Adesso E10 is wireless which is relatively uncommon un this type of mouse as is the DPI switch. In addition it has 4 buttons and a mouse wheel so it could still serve as a gaming mouse, at least for right handed gamers who prefer this style of mouse. Check it out if your mousing fingers get numb while you are sitting at your computer.
"The peripheral market is booming, there's a huge range of products with a wide range of features available between each device, so finding something suitable for your needs shouldn't be too difficult. Naturally, not all products are created equally and some are designed for a more niche part of the market than others, such as the iMouse E10 which we have in for review today."
Tech Talk
Obviously, this does not forget the controversy that Lenovo got themselves into, but it is certainly the correct response (if they act how they imply). Adware and bloatware is common to find on consumer PCs, which makes the slowest of devices even more sluggish as demos and sometimes straight-up advertisements claim their share of your resources. This does not even begin to discuss the security issues that some of these hitchhikers drag in. Again, I refer you to the aforementioned controversy.
In response, albeit a delayed one, Lenovo has announced that, by the launch of Windows 10, they will only pre-install the OS and "related software". Lenovo classifies this related software as drivers, security software, Lenovo applications, and applications for "unique hardware" (ex: software for an embedded 3D camera).
It looks to be a great step, but I need to call out "security software". Windows 10 should ship with Microsoft's security applications in many regions, which really questions why a laptop provider would include an alternative. If the problem is that people expect McAfee or Symantec, then advertise pre-loaded Microsoft anti-malware and keep it clean. Otherwise, it feels like keeping a single finger in the adware take-a-penny dish.
At least it is not as bad as trying to install McAfee every time you update Flash Player. I consider Adobe's tactic the greater of two evils on that one. I mean, unless Adobe just thinks that Flash Player is so insecure that you would be crazy to install it without a metaphorical guard watching over your shoulder.
And then of course we reach the divide between "saying" and "doing". We will need to see Lenovo's actual Windows 10 devices to find out if they kept their word, and followed its implications to a tee.
If 4G speeds of 400Mbps become common there are going to be some very happy media streamers, at least until the bill comes in. In a proof of concept test Huawei EE and Qualcomm demonstrated a 4G LTE carrier aggregated connection in Wembley stadium which hit peak speeds of 400Mbps and should provide most attendees of events at Wembley with speeds hitting up to 150Mbps. The carrier will use the existing 4G LTE network, only tweaking was needed to increase the speeds as opposed to a new standard and so any phone capable of connecting to LTE should be able to take advantage of the speed increase. Check out The Inquirer for more information.
"HUAWEI, EE AND QUALCOMM have demonstrated a blink-and-you-missed-it 4G network at Wembley Stadium that achieved speeds of 400Mbps."
Professional and amateur players of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft can compete for a share of the $25,000 prize pool and other perks, hosted by NVIDIA. Once the pool of players are whittled down to the sixteen invited pros and the top sixteen non-professionals, they will compete in a playoff format. The 32 players at that stage will each receive an NVIDIA Shield Tablet, the top 16 will receive money, and the top eight will get Blizzard World Championship qualifier points may either start their career or get them even closer to being invited to the autumn finals.
Breaking down the above into a little more detail:
NVIDIA will be streaming the event as a four-hour event every week, which consist of group-stage highlights. Registration will close on March 19th at noon (EST). The actual playoffs will take place on May 30th and May 31st, also streamed on NVIDIA's Twitch channel.
Tracking your smartphones location via aggregate battery usage is not the most efficient or accurate method but it can be done and Samsung (and others) have not provided a switch which makes that particular data private. Researchers have shown that by tracking the battery drain of the 3G cellular radio on the battery one can determine distance from the cellular base station the phone is connected to and a coarse location based on interference environmental factors such as buildings which partially block the signal. It is only a very coarse locator but does give better information than just the base station the phone is connected to and as we are creatures of habit it allows tracking normal patterns of movement. This is nowhere near as accurate as GPS tracking and does require a bit of work to pull off but as battery usage and levels are sent by the phone in the clear with no method of preventing that it should cause some privacy concerns for users. You can read the research paper (in PDF) by following the link from The Inquirer.
"SCIENTISTS have warned of a new smartphone risk after discovering that battery power can be used to track a person's movements."
You know that a week will be busy when companies start announcing a day or two early to beat the flood. While Game Developers Conference starts tomorrow, Quixel published their Jungle demo to YouTube today in promotion of their MEGASCANS material library. The video was rendered in Unreal Engine 4.
Their other material samples look quite convincing. The vines on a wall (column in this case) is particularly interesting because it even looks like two distinct layers, despite being a single mesh with displacement as far as I can tell. I don't know, maybe it is two or three layers. It would certainly make sense if it was, but the top and bottom suggests that it is single, and that is impressive. It even looks self-occluding.
Pricing and availability for the library is not yet disclosed, but it sounds like it will be a subscription service. The software ranges from $25 to $500, depending on what you get and what sort of license you need (Academic vs Commercial and so forth).
Mobile World Congress (MWC) and Game Developers Conference (GDC) severely overlap this year, and not just in dates apparently. HTC just announced the Vive VR headset at MWC, which was developed alongside Valve. The developer edition will contain two 1200x1080 displays with a 90Hz refresh rate, and it will launch this spring. The consumer edition will launch this holiday. They made sure to underline 2015, so you know they're serious. Want more information? Well that will be for Valve to discuss at GDC.
The confusing part: why is this not partnered with Oculus? When Michael Abrash left Valve to go there, I assumed that it was Valve shedding its research to Facebook's subsidiary and letting them take the hit. Now, honestly, it seems like Facebook just poached Abrash, Valve said "oh well", and the two companies kept to their respective research. Who knows? Maybe that is not the case. We might find out more at GDC, but you would expect that Oculus would be mentioned if they had any involvement at all.
Valve will host an event on the second official day of GDC, March 3rd at 3pm. In other words, Valve will make an announcement on 3/3 @ 3. Could it involve Left 4 Dead 3? Portal 3? Will they pull a Crytek and name their engine Source 3? Are they just trolling absolutely everyone? Will it have something to do with NVIDIA's March 3rd announcement? Do you honestly think I have any non-speculative information about this? No. No I don't. There, I answered one of those questions.
A while ago, LG licensed WebOS from HP for use in their smart TVs and, as we found out during CES, smart watches.
The LG Urbane LTE is one such device, and we can finally see it in action. It is based around (literally) a circular P-OLED display (320 x 320, 1.3-inches, 245 ppi). Swirling your finger around the face scrolls through the elements like a wheel, which should be significantly more comfortable to search through a large list of applications than a linear list of elements -- a lot like an iPod (excluding the Touch and the Shuffle). That said, I have only seen other people use it.
The SoC is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, clocked at 1.2 GHz. It supports LTE, Wireless-N, Bluetooth 4.0LE, and NFC. It has 1 GB of RAM, which is quite a bit, and 4GB of permanent storage, which is not. It also has a bunch of sensors, from accelerometers and gyros to heart rate monitors and a barometer. It has a speaker and a microphone, but no camera. LG flaunts a 700 mAh battery, which they claim is "the category's largest", but they do not link that to an actual amount of usage time (only that it "go[es] for days in standby mode").

Pricing has not yet been announced, but it should hit the US and Europe before May arrives.
With MWC in full swing Intel showed off their mobile silicon to Ryan and to The Tech Report who compiled complete specifications of the Cherry Trail based Atom x5-8300 and 8500 as well as the x7-8700. All three of these chips will have an Intel designed XMM 7260 LTE modem as well as WiFi and NFC connectivity with the X7 also featuring Intel WiGig. You can also expect RealSense, True Key facial recognition and Pro Wireless Display to send secure wireless video to compatible displays for meetings. Check out the full list of stats here.
"Intel says the dual-core Atom x3-C3130 is shipping now, while the quad-core Atom x3-C3230RK is coming later in the first half of the year. The LTE-infused Atom x3-C3440 will follow in the second half. In all, the chipmaker names 19 partners on board with the Atom x3 rollout, including Asus, Compal, Foxconn, Pegatron, Weibu, and Wistron."
Gigabyte's Force H3X gaming headset sports the 50mm neodymium drivers we have become used to, with a decent frequency response range of 20Hz to 20KHz. The microphone is a bit different, using two 2mm pickup drivers on each side for a total of four but from the testing Modders Inc performed it did not help with the quality of your recorded audio. This does not matter so much on a gaming headset but this is perhaps not the best choice for a budding YouTube star. For audio in gaming Modders Inc does give the headset good marks and they also found it to be very comfortable over long periods of time, definitely worth checking out if you are in the market for a new headset to game with.

England coast to victory
13 Oct 2007 - 17:09:22
England cruised to a 3-0 victory over Estonia at Wembley, with Wayne Rooney scoring his first competitive goal for his country since the European Championships in 2004.
Steve McClaren opted to retain Gareth Barry in midfield alongside Steven Gerrard, who was captain in the absence of the injured John Terry, while Rooney replaced Emile Heskey in attack.
England took just 11 minutes to break the deadlock, as Micah Richards and Shaun Wright-Phillips exchanged passes on the right before the latter fired a shot low between Mart Poom's legs at his near post.
Seven minutes later it was almost 2-0 as Rooney floated an audacious chip just over the crossbar from 20 yards, with Poom struggling to get back to cover.
Just after the half-hour mark Rooney got his name on the scoresheet, as he latched onto Joe Cole's ball in from the left and his left-foot effort was deflected past the stranded Poom.
Within a minute it was 3-0 to England as Poom was gain left helpless by one of his own defenders.
This time Ashley Cole swung the ball in from the left and Taavi Rahn's header from the edge of the area directed the ball into the corner of the net as Poom tried to get across to cover.
The second half started badly for England, with Ashley Cole going down after a challenge in his own area and eventually being taken from the arena on a stretcher with a nasty looking ankle injury.
Joel Lindpere drove a shot wide of the target from the edge of the area as Estonia pushed forward and soon after the same player forced one of few saves from Paul Robinson.
Frank Lampard took over from Michael Owen with 20 minutes to play, with his arrival greeted by boos from some home fans.
Ragnar Klavan then rifled a shot high and wide from 20 yards as Estonia continued to push forward.
Late on Gerrard and Joe Cole broke the offside trap, but the England skipper tried to cut inside the last defender and the chance went begging.
Joe Cole then sliced a shot wide with just Poom to beat as England had to settle for another 3-0 victory, with their next test a much tougher one in Russia on Wednesday night.

Sophomore Dieunise Desir broke her own record at the 6K during the CAC Championships on Nov. 1, running the course in 23:14.4, shaving 21 seconds off of her previous mark. The team finished a program-best sixth at the event. Desir, the first cross country runner in school history to earn All-CAC honors, received that recognition again this year.
The football team defeated College of Faith 62-0 during Senior Day on Nov. 1. The defense returned three fumbles for touchdowns in the first quarter and forced eight turnovers in the game, helping the Wolverines improve to 9-0 on the season.
Wesley's men's basketball team went to Banneker Elementary School on October 24 to spend time with students who were practicing for the Delaware Special Olympics Basketball Skills Competition, which will take place on November 5. Team members played pickup games with the students and helped them develop their games.
Men's soccer celebrated their Senior Day during the regular season finale against Salisbury on Oct. 29. The team lost 3-1, but their 8-8-1 record is strong enough to potentially secure a berth in the ECAC Tournament, which would mark their second consecutive postseason appearance.
Wesley senior Payton Rose was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week and was named ECAC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 28. He collected four tackles, 1.5 sacks, and five pass breakups in the Wolverines' 75-12 victory over Virginia-Lynchburg on Oct. 25.

Farmers are seeking Rs. 1,200 for a tonne of sugarcane; ban orders in force
Farmers are seeking Rs. 1,200 for a tonne of sugarcaneThey have threatened to close private sugar factories
BAGALKOT: Authorities extended ban orders in and around Deputy Commissioner's office complex here as sugarcane farmers continued their agitation demanding that their produce be purchased at the rate of at least Rs. 1200 a tonne.
The ban will be in force till Monday in the 200-metre radius of the office complex. Police have been deployed as the agitating farmers have threatened to lay siege to the complex. Besides Deputy Commissioner's office, the complex housed offices of 32 departments. All these offices remained inaccessible to public for the last three days.
The agitators have been camping on roads 200 metres away from the complex since Thursday. Food is also prepared at the agitation venue.
Health deteriorates
Meanwhile, the condition of Mallappa Appanna Bhavi from Tolamatti village in Bilagi taluk, who has been observing fast, deteriorated on Friday and was given glucose intravenously.
He was on a fast along with Basavaraj Kokatnur, another farmer from Jagadale in Jamkhandi taluk from Thursday.
Addressing the agitating farmers on Saturday, zilla panchayat member Ramesh Gadannavar, who has been leading the agitation, warned that if the
Government failed to settle the issue by Sunday, agitation would be intensified.
The agitators requested the Government to stop sugarcane crushing at three private factories Jamkhandi Sugars, Nirani Sugars and Jem Sugars, till the issue was settled. If the issue was not settled, the agitators would force these factories to close, he said. He said as a last resort, the farmers would send their produce to sugar mills in Maharashtra.
On Friday evening, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, Govind Karjol met the agitators and said the Government would hold one more round of talks with sugar factories in an effort to persuade them to give Rs. 1200 a tonne for sugarcane.
Referring to the latest offer by private factory managements, Mr. Karjol, who is also district in-charge Minister, said they were now ready to give Rs. 1,000 a tonne. But it was not agreeable to either the Government or farmers. The factory managements would be invited to another round of talks in Bangalore in a day or two, he said.

If you've ever felt like picking through your friends' hair for bugs to eat, or if you've ever found yourself throwing questionable things at strangers, then you might be excited to hear that Nickelodeon is developing an MMO just for you! That's right, in the up-and-coming Monkey Quest, you and your friends can team up to find adventure in a world that is ruled by monkeys and filled with danger!
Nickelodeon is no stranger to fun and games, so it will be interesting to see its take on an MMO. Although the game seems made for kids -- as you'd expect -- its cooperative gameplay looks like it will be fun for monkeys at all stages of evolution. The game boasts a free-to-play hybrid payment model for players who might like an "enhanced" player experience. Does that mean cash shop? Does that mean monkey hats and monkey pants? We hope so!
If it sounds interesting, click past the jump and check out the trailer. Just watch out for any... flinging.

One likes it well done - Prime Rib Dilemma
- w
- wincountrygirl Dec 28, 2011 01:58 PM
- 24
- Follow
Hi all - I am making a prime rib on Saturday night - just six of us. I'm investing in a pricy piece of meat and will cook it to medium rare. Here is my problem - one person likes their meat well done - no pink at all. I will need to put her piece back in the oven or broiler, but since the meat needs to rest before I carve it, she will wait a while for her meat. Does anyone have any other suggestions? What about cutting off a piece before I cook it?
re: ROCKLES
And this is the BEAUTY of such a luscious cut of red meat...yes, the end cut usually satisfies those who love it that way...I actually enjoy it BOTH ways on the "rare" occasion that I eat it...LOL! You should be fine as Rockles says!
re: visciole
hmm, would you lose some extra juice by cutting that quickly? especially a complete cut like that? I probably would let the meat rest before cutting off the end
0 -
re: visciole
No, don't slice it at all before it rests. The juices will run out of the rest of the roast.
I know this sounds blasphemous to do to a prime rib but could you just nuke her slice to get rid of the pink? Of course, you don't want anyone to see you doing this. LOL. I wouldn't want to cut off a chunk before resting it and you don't want it to cool off before hers gets to medium.
re: whinendine
I thought of that - I'm picking it up today and I'm going to ask the butcher what he thinks - maybe he can do it for me so it's a nice slice.

TAPPER: Just to follow up on this, is it — is it legal to put people who the president might put in indefinite detention in any facility in the United States?
GIBBS: Well, I think, obviously, some of these issues are going to have to be worked out. Well, two things, obviously, decisions will have to be worked out with Congress about how, where, in what manner people might — might be detained in that way.
And I think you heard the president, secondly, say today that, certainly as it relates to preventive or administrative detention, you — you would want to — he would certainly want to do that through a legal mechanism, again, in working with — in conjunction with both Congress and the court system, to ensure that there's a standard by which we're doing that.
TAPPER: OK. The Pentagon has an internal document indicating that, of the 540 or so detainees released by the previous administration, 14 percent are jihadists. What lessons is the Obama administration learning from those apparent mistakes in release?
GIBBS: Well, I think, first and foremost, that we have to go through each and every case, that we have to go through each and every case, that we have to seek that swift and certain justice that the president has talked about, figure out if they're making a determination about who these people are, the evidence that we have against them. Can we try them using the reformed military commissions? Can we try them, as the president said, in a federal court of law, as Mr. Gelani will be tried, and make some of the those individual determinations.
But I think, in many ways, Jake, the report, in many way proves the argument that we've tried to make over the past four months. And that is that Guantanamo Bay is an ad hoc patchwork of legal theories that isn't working legally or organizationally. Because, let's for a minute — let's play this out for a second.
Dick Cheney said today that Guantanamo Bay has made us safer. Right? So let's set aside, then, the argument that the Bush administration — based on that argument, I assume the Bush administration is arguing they didn't knowingly release people that they thought would go back into — and join the battle in a different place. That leaves you, roughly, with two different scenarios.
Either, in reviewing who was there, you had, again, an ad hoc patchwork that organizationally and legally didn't work. You determined that people weren't a danger, and they were. Or they weren't a danger and you released them, but because they had been mistakenly picked up, they became terrorists.
That's our second point. I think the report very clearly demonstrates the argument that we've made that legally and organizationally the prison camp doesn't work and that it's become a powerful argument not for — not for our strength in the world but a rallying cry for those who have joined the battle.
TAPPER: Just a follow-up on this one: How do you respond to those who say the argument is actually the opposite? What this shows is you can't release these individuals…
GIBBS: Well, but then I guess…
TAPPER: …especially these last 240 that have been the most difficult to deal with.
GIBBS: Well, I guess my question — it's a better question for the vice president.
TAPPER: He's not standing in front of me.
GIBBS: No, he's not. But I understand he's got some free time and doing some speaking. (LAUGHTER)
But one might ask, if the prison kept us safer, if what they were doing was protecting safety and security of the American people, how on earth did they make the determination that those people should be let free? I'd be interested in the answer.

He has worked for many years to improve products and services available in this sector and continues to carry the banner for commercial cards and payments. CPI is grateful to have the support of TSYS and Keith as key partners in the industry."
Pierce is responsible for the overall strategic direction and profitability of the commercial business at TSYS and has oversight of client relations, day-to-day operations, financial performance and business strategy.

A/C Tips?
Just wondering if any of yall have any quick tips for making the a/c colder other than recharging the system...I have a 96' 1500 with the 5.2. The a/c works fine but does'nt really get cold unless it's raining out for some reason but when its hot and sunny it does'nt seem to get as cold as it should. could it be a dirty filter in the a/c system and if it is where would it be located? I'm not a mechanic but my buddy told me that he cleaned out his blower motor and he said afterwards his a/c blew alot harder. Could that also be a possiblity with mine and if so where would the blower motor be located on my truck and how would i remove it to clean it? thanks for any help guys !
The A/C is going to be less effective with hotter temps and higher humidity. That's to be expected with a perfectly functioning system. Your truck doesn't have an A/C filter so you don't have to worry about that. If your blower motor housing is restricted, cleaning it out can fix that but it won't make it blow colder. Bottom line - get the level and pressures checked and have it recharged if needed.
Make sure your condensor stays clean and clear of any debris . Your A/C always works best in max also . It recirculates the cool air in the cab instead of bringing outside air in to be cooled .
Thanks guys on the help and break down of the system. I may just remove all the old refrigerant and recharge with new and hopefully that works. It blows cold but somedays its so hott that a really cold a/c would be great. I'm definately going to look at the blower motor housing and see if it needs cleaning and i'll take a look at the condensor I'm sure it has some stuff stuck in the fins...Thanks again guys...

'Little House' story comes to life
MINNEAPOLIS -- A line from Laura Ingalls Wilder's book "Little House On The Prairie" has stayed with me for a long, long time. Laura's excited because her family is moving farther west. "You never know what will happen," she wrote, "nor where you'll be tomorrow, when you're traveling in a covered wagon."
