Okay, listen up. I know this isn’t bird-related, but it is VERY IMPORTANT.
This is Hermione. Several weeks ago, she and her three brothers were abandoned at our clinic.
All four tested positive for FIV, or feline AIDS. Shortly after, they all developed a secondary infection. The other three didn’t make it, but Hermione is recovering wonderfully.
HOWEVER
She still needs a home! Being FIV+ means she will need to be an INDOOR ONLY cat, and preferably the only cat in a household, unless your other cats are also FIV+.
Since she is SO YOUNG, though, it may be a FALSE POSITIVE, and she can be tested again when she is six months old.
We are currently going to function under the assumption that she DOES have FIV, though.
FIV+ cats are extremely difficult to place, but they can make wonderful, loving pets! Hermione is an absolute angel who only wants to play and cuddle all day long.
If Hermione isn’t found a loving, FIV+ friendly home soon, she WILL BE PUT DOWN.
If you live in or around the Morgantown, West Virginia (Monongohela County) area and are interested and know anyone else who might be, PLEASE drop me a line. I am willing to transport her a ways if you don’t live in the immediate area!
Won’t you please signal boost and help us find a safe place for her?

They say necessity is the mother of invention and this is sure the case when it comes to 13 and 15 year old, Nigerian brothers Anesi and Osine Ikhianosime. Their necessity is their need for a faster mobile web browsing experience…because who wants to wait a few extra seconds for Google Chrome to load when you can build a better browser?
The dynamic coding duo are your ordinary African teenagers. They attend school in Greensprings school, Anthony Campus, Lagos. They love their friends, soccer, to have fun and coding, obviously.
The young problem solvers got tired of waiting for Google Chrome to load on their mobile phones, so decided to do something about it instead of complain. They decided to build a better mobile browser last year and called it Crocodile Browser Lite. It is currently live and ready for your download in the Google Play store right now. Raised by parents who believe education and technology is very important to the lives of all, they were raised with high aspirations in mind. Their mother says they were able to use the computer before they know how to read and have always been fascinated with technology, creating, building and solving problems.
By the age of 7 & 9, the duo knew they wanted to start their own technology company. Inspired by Microsoft Windows platform, they decided to name their company “Doors”. However, later they discovered that the name was taken, so they changed it to Blu Doors”, which is still the current name of the company.At the ages of 12 and 14, they decided to take on the task of learning how to code. They taught themselves, but had much encouragement, inspiration and access to computers from their school.
They did take advantage of free resources. “I learnt to code by myself. I startede in 2013, I used sites like Code Academy, Code Avenger and books like ‘Android for Game Development’ and ‘Games for Dummies,” said Anesi.The plan to create a better browser for low end featured phones is one that is needed for the developing world. While Chrome and other browsers work great on high end smart phones, the majority of the world are not using this technology and need a low-end option that still provides quick browers response, so this is what the young men did.
They built a better mouse trap for the phones they were using.Crocodile Browser Lite 3.0 will be available this year [available now] in the Google Play store and something you should check out to give the young people support. They currently have over 500 [between 1000 – 5000] downloads of their browser, but hoping to see it grow in the near future.Their future plans are to attend MIT in the United States because they feel the educational opportunities, resources and access to technology are exactly what they need to positively impact the future as then intend.Hats off to these young men and their family!

ADD and ADHD are the same disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder was officially renamed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in 1994. Many people use ADD to refer to Type One presented here, and ADHD to refer to Type Two, but they are the same core disorder.
In many cases where ADHD carries into adulthood, it’s a genetic issue [My grandfather, mother, siblings, and I have all been diagnosed with ADHD], though this does not always occur.
there are a lot of talks about how ADHD is overdiagnosed, and that may be true for boys, but for girls ADHD is severely underdiagnosed.
older studies mostly looked at hyperactive boys and that’s the perception we have of ADHD. because of this many girls will go undiagnosed until adulthood.
most girls/women who have ADHD are inattentive type. they tend to be introverted, disorganized and daydreamers.
girls will internalize these as personal failings and teenage girls have a much higher rate of suicide and self harm because of it
ADHD is often comorbid with anxiety and depression, both of which are caused by the failings from having ADHD
depression can present itself differently in people with ADHD. it’s more of a discouragement from constantly failing, but it can be just as debilitating.
ADHD is usually perceived as a lack of focus… however, individuals with ADHD have a tendency to “hyperfocus” on activities that their brains find stimulating
Sometimes this hyperfocusing behavior lasts for extended periods of time, and so the person may require some kind of system to help them “snap out of it” if it’s causing them to spend too much time on any one activity, or if they are neglecting other tasks
Hyperfocus can be used to one’s advantage-with the right tools
