ADHD, HOW IT AFFECT ADULTS
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is
not limited to children -- 30% to 70% of kids with ADHD continue having
symptoms when they grow up. In addition, people who were never diagnosed as
kids may develop more obvious symptoms in adulthood, causing trouble on the job
or in relationships. Many adults don’t realize they have ADHD, leaving them
mystified about why their goals seem to slip out of reach.
Signs of Adult ADHD: Running Late
ADHD in adults follows a slightly different pattern
than in children. Adults may be chronically late for work or important events.
Adults may realize that their tardiness is undermining their goals, but they
just can't seem to be on time.
Difficulty controlling anger
Blurting out rude or insulting thoughts
How Effective Are ADHD Drugs?
There have been far fewer studies of ADHD
drugs in adults than in children, but the research to date is promising.
Studies have consistently shown adults taking stimulants have fewer ADHD
symptoms. The benefits kick in within 30 minutes of the first dose and can last
all day in the case of controlled-release medications
Counseling for ADHD
Most adults with ADHD improve when they start
medication, but they may continue to struggle with poor habits and low self-esteem.
Counseling for ADHD focuses on getting organized, setting helpful routines,
repairing relationships, and improving social skills. There is evidence that
cognitive-behavioral therapy is particularly helpful in managing problems of
daily life that are associated with ADHD.

Oscar Pistorius recounts moment he shot his girlfriend at his home
Oscar Pistorius broke down in court today as he described the moment he shot & killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a toilet door at his Pretoria home. Oscar claimed he was paralyzed with fear thinking an intruder had entered the house before he opened fire through a locked toilet door.
Now which girlfriend locks herself in her boyfriend's toilet at 3am in the morning if she's not trying to escape from someone? And how do you not check that your girlfriend is safe & around you before you start firing shots? I don't understand this, but anyway below is how he describe what happened..
"I wasn't sure where to point the firearm. My eyes were going between the windows and the toilet. I stood for some time. I just stayed where I was and kept on screaming. Then I heard a noise from inside the toilet that I perceived to be somebody coming out of the toilet. Before I knew it, I had fired four shots at the door." He said. Continue...
Describing the events leading up to Reeva's death, Oscar said Reeva cooked him dinner and they ate together at around 7pm. He went to his room just before 8pm and opened the balcony because it was "very humid". He said he fell asleep between 9pm and 10pm, then woke up in the early hours of 14 February because it was "extremely warm" in the bedroom.
"I noticed that the fans were still running and the door was still open. Reeva was still awake. She rolled over to me and said 'Can't you sleep my baba?'", to which I replied: "No I can't, not tonight".
He said he grabbed a fan, locked the sliding doors and then drew the curtains. He then returned to the room and heard the sound of "window sliding open". He thought the noise was coming from someone who had climbed inside the house from the bathroom window.
It was at this point that I heard a window sliding open in the bathroom. I heard the window hit the frame. I thought that a burglar had got into the house. I think I initially just froze. That's the moment that everything changed.
The first thing that ran through my mind was to protect Reeva and I and to get my gun. I rushed as quick as I could, with my hand in front of me, at times touching the floor before grabbing my firearm from underneath the bed.
At that point I just wanted to put myself between the person who had gained access to my house and Reeva. I slowed down and had my firearm extended in front of me. I whispered to Reeva to get down and phone the police.
As I entered where the bathroom passage is, I was overcome with fear. I screamed at the person to get out. I screamed at Reeva. I was constantly aware this person could come at me at any time. I did not have my legs on. Just before I got to the bathroom, I heard a door slam. It could have only been the toilet door. It confirmed that there was a person or people inside the bathroom.'
'I got to the entrance of the bathroom at the end of the passage where I stopped screaming. At this point I was certain that the intruders were in the bathroom.
I had my pistol in my right hand and peered into the bathroom.I didn't have much mobility on the tiles. I had my pistol raised to the corner of the entrance of the bathroom. I noticed that the bathroom window was open. I was with my back against the wall. I wasn't sure if the intruders were in the toilet or around the corner at that point. Then I heard a noise from inside the toilet that I perceived to be someone coming out of the toilet. Before I knew it I had fired four shots at the door. My ears were still ringing - I couldn't hear anything - so I kept shouting for Reeva to phone the police."
When I didn't hear anything from Reeva, I panicked. I didn't want to believe it could be Reeva inside the toilet. I didn't know what to do. I kicked the door. I was crying out, I was screaming. I used my cricket bat to smash down the toilet door and found Reeva. I have never screamed like that. 'I said "Oh, Reeva". I sat over her and cried."

Natural Liver Detox Diets (Liver Cleansing)
Using a natural detox diet to remove toxins and poisons from your body might sound like a good idea. After all, what could be better than eating pure and natural foods and avoiding processed and refined ones?
Certainly, there's something to these ideas. But there's also more than meets the eye. The rising interest in lifestyle enhancement has also ushered in many misconceptions about toxins and about the best way to clear them from the body. Fueling the confusion is a major marketing blitz by authors of diet books and producers of supplements and other detoxifying products.
Most natural liver detox diets lack science to support them. Additionally, detox diets are very restrictive and can cause harm if they're not used with care. Here's what you need to know.
What Is the Idea Behind Detox Diets?
The idea for detox diets comes from the concern that toxins are constantly bombarding our bodies. Toxins are chemicals with potentially harmful effects. While some toxins are more obvious, such as pesticides or smog, some people consider even seemingly normal substances to be toxins. They may come from many sources, including:
alcohol
caffeine
medications
pesticides or other chemicals used to grow or prepare food
smog or other substances in the air
substances such as artificial sweeteners added to food
sugar
impure water
The belief is that the body holds onto toxins in the digestive, lymph, or gastrointestinal system as well as in skin and hair. They, then, can cause problems such as fatigue, headaches, nausea, and a wide range of chronic diseases.
What Is a Detox Diet?
Detox diets are designed to help the body rid itself of toxins. To attempt this, you temporarily give up certain kinds of foods. This is called fasting or purging. Then you gradually reintroduce foods. For example, you might start with a liquid diet for one or two days. Then you might move to four or five days of brown rice, fruit, and steamed vegetables. Finally, you might add other foods, except red meat, wheat, sugar, eggs, and prepackaged or junk food.
In general, organic foods and drinks and lots of water are required on a natural detox diet. And alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, drugs, processed or refined foods, and certain supplements are not allowed.
In some cases, a detox diet is paired with changes in lifestyle, which is also meant to foster the cleansing of toxins from the body. Saunas and exercise might also be recommended to increase sweating, another way thought to purge the body of certain substances.
These are examples of popular detox diets:
Master Cleanse or Lemonade Diet
Fat Flush Diet
Liver Cleanse Diet
Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox
Raw Food Diet
In some cases, people suggest using cleansing products or herbs to "purify" the liver and help it work more effectively. Or, you might be asked to do a colon irrigation to clean out your colon. This involves using an enema or having a practitioner clear the colon with up to 20 gallons of water through a tube inserted into the rectum.

Facts About Insulin Pump Therapy
An insulin pump is a computerized device that delivers insulin into the body. Your doctor or nurse works with a pump educator to program the settings that tell the pump how to provide the insulin according to your specific needs. This way, the person with diabetes can control how much insulin is released and when.
The computerized pump relieves the person with diabetes of having to administer the insulin by injection. However, he or she does have to get used to having the pump connected to the body by tubing. And the person with diabetes must still also check blood glucoses, count carbohydrates, make adjustments, and monitor the pump.
How does an insulin pump work?
An insulin pump looks a lot like a beeper. It has buttons to push and a small screen that displays information. Inside the pump is a small container, or reservoir, of fast-acting insulin. This reservoir is connected to tubing that is in turn connected to a very small plastic tube, or cannula, that is inserted under the person's skin. The person with diabetes is trained to use an infusion set to insert the cannula under the skin by means of a thin needle that is removed after insertion. The cannula is then held in place by tape. Insulin flows from the pump, through the tubing, into the cannula, and then into you! The cannula is usually inserted on the abdomen and is replaced every two to three days. There is one nsulin pump that works without tubing, and some people prefer that set-up.
The types of insulin doses that can be delivered by a pump
Basal insulin. The pump is programmed to automatically release a little bit of insulin every hour to help keep blood glucose levels within the target range between meals. This replaces the need for a long-acting insulin like Lantus® or Levemir®. The ability to release small amounts of insulin at precise intervals can help improve blood glucose control with less risk of low blood glucoses. The basal rate is set, but you can make adjustments; that is, you can adjust the basal rate so that you get more insulin at the times of day when your blood glucose levels may run higher and less insulin when you are exercising.
Bolus insulin. The pump also provides additional insulin whenever you eat. You tell the pump how many carbohydrate grams you are eating and what your blood glucose level is, and it calculates the amount. You then push a button and the insulin is delivered. Bolus doses are based on carbs and blood glucose levels.
Insulin pumps can help you become more flexible about the times and sizes of your meals and can help you reduce the frequency of low blood glucose levels related to exercise. If you would like to know more, Google "insulin pumps" and read the information from each pump manufacturer. You can also talk to your diabetes doctor or diabetes educator.

Facebook CEO Zuckerberg’s Base Salary Falls to $1
Mark Zuckerberg has decided he’s a $1-a-year man.
Zuckerberg, who is Facebook Inc. (FB)’s chief executive officer and also the 22nd richest person in the world as ranked by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, was paid $1 in salary for 2013, according to a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday. That’s down from a base salary of $503,205 in 2012, the year that Facebook went public.
Zuckerberg is following the well worn path of other Silicon Valley technology moguls who also chose to take on the symbolic annual salary of $1 after they were already wealthy. Apple Inc.’s late co-founder Steve Jobs helped popularize the practice, which is today also espoused by Google Inc. co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, among others. All own sizable equity stakes in their own companies.
Zuckerberg, whose wealth totals around $27 billion, owns Facebook shares that give him 61.6 percent of voting power in the Menlo Park, California-based social network, according to the filing. He saw his net worth balloon last year as Facebook’s stock more than doubled in value. The 29-year-old has ramped up his public service and philanthropy, including starting a group called Internet.org to connect the world to the Web.
Private Planes
Zuckerberg’s total compensation last year was $653,165, down from $1.99 million in 2012. The amount, besides the $1 salary, was for the passenger fees, fuel, crew and catering costs for his use of private planes for personal reasons, as part of his security program, according to the filing.
The CEO also made $3.3 billion last year after exercising stock options to purchase 60 million shares, according to the filing. Zuckerberg offered 41.35 million of those shares in a secondary offering by Facebook in December. At the time, the company said Zuckerberg would use the majority of the proceeds to pay for the taxes incurred in connection with the transaction. He also gifted 18 million shares to charity.
Other Facebook leaders also saw their compensation fall from 2012 levels. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg received $16.2 million in total compensation in 2013, compared with $26.2 million a year earlier. She became a billionaire in January as Facebook’s shares soared, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman made $10.5 million in compensation last year, compared with the $17.5 million in 2012. Vice President David Fischer’s compensation totaled $8 million last year, down from $12 million in 2012, while Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer gained $12.6 million last year, down from $20.7 million a year earlier.
