Trippy right? There's a whole documentary about this place... not just a -few- people, but a huge chunk of the population just randomly passes out. Sound dangerous? It is. But what's causing it? That's probably the more frightening idea, --when strange ailments come into play, my mind almost always goes to the government. Oh don't get me wrong... it could just as easily be aliens, but this documentary explores the facts. So. The RTD goes to the village to investigate; some people think it's ghosts, others believe it's closed uranium mines. In my opinion, the uranium mines sound more likely than ghosts, but! The thing is, scientists and doctors have tested and investigated, looking for answers, but no one can explain the disease, or what caused it. Check out the documentary, --what do you think is causing all these people to pass out? Or is it just a hoax?

The core symptoms of ADHD frequently cause significant impairment in academic, social and behavioral functioning that adversely impact individuals’ quality of life. These symptoms often persist into adulthood, potentially compromising an individual’s functioning over many years. Understanding how ADHD impacts long-term functioning, and whether adverse long-term affects are diminished with treatment, is thus extremely important. However, despite ample evidence that treatments such as medication and behavior therapy yield substantial short-term benefits for most individuals, the impact of treatment on longer-term outcomes remains less well-established. This is an important gap in the research literature. Via iPamba, Ivon Prefontaine, PhD

I know medical management of ADHD is a controversial issue, but one I feel strongly about, having suffered badly from the disorder as a child (God bless my dear mother), and I, on the farther end of middle age, continue to take Adderal with great results.

This delightful video offers a look at the home country of my wonderful Kazakh daughter [It is also certain to remove from your brain every misconception of the beautiful country portrayed in the movie "Boraдt."] My trip to Kazakhstan was the highlight of my life, not only (but especially) because it was there Milena became my daughter, but also because of the natural beauty of the country, but also the friendliness of the Kazakhstani people, who could not have been more hospitable, and the eco-friendly approach to modernization.
