I'm off to the island of Malta later today with a colleague from Coma HQ (let's call her MM -Meticulous M). Having been to Rhodes earlier this month, it seems I'm stalking the Knights of Saint John. I'm not, though.
When I booked this holiday in early summer, I had no idea there would be early parliamentary elections today but what our flight being this afternoon, there's no excuse not to do my citizen's duty and cast my vote. I know some people (well, one person in particular) who's of the "what's the point, anyway" camp, but in my opinion you're not really allowed to complain afterwards if you didn't vote in the first place. We'll see if we have something remotely resembling a coalition when I return next Friday.
Sunday afternoon occupation with a positive side-effect: preheating your oven causes the room-temperature to rise. Somewhat. Temporarily.
Bad (and I mean bad) weather aside, K's wedding reception (the - registry - wedding itself had taken place the day before in Vienna with only immediate family present) at the idyllic location of Niedersulz museum village was great. I loved the bride's outfit and picture-perfect wedding cake. For the second time since FCN's wedding in September '05 (another rainy and cold September wedding) I had attended the wedding of a friend who's not Austrian but who got married in her adopted country and chose a quintessentially Austrian venue. S1 (top left picture) looked the part in a dirnd-with-a-modern-twist and matching jewellery.
On the way to the Weinviertel province, I realised just how ugly the northermost districts of Vienna are and what an industrial wasteland its adjacent suburbs. My German passengers were just as appalled by the lack of scenery and relieved when green fields appeared on the horizon, alternatingly decorated with oil derrics and wind turbines. I was reminded of Indien, a popular Austrian film set in Lower Austria.
Like every year, I am determined not to turn up the heating in my flat until a "reasonable" time. Which would be November, which to my ears sounds justifiably autumny and cold. Last night, the indoor temperature dropped below 20°, which, admittedly, was not exactly tropical.
Last night, I put together 3 potential outfits to be worn at K's wedding reception tomorrow. Informed sources have told me that the venue will be unheated. It's a case of Vanity vs. Sanity, I guess. In view of the fact that I have a business trip followed by a vacation lined up next week, the latter is very likely to win in my case.
Something tells me that the word "Schneefallgrenze" does not agree with the strappy silk dress I had in mind. Ah well, I suppose I'll have to resort to what my Mum calls the "onion technique", i.e. piling on layers upon layers.
I am so not turning up in a fleece jumper.
Weather? Old age? General demotivation? I don't know what it is exactly but for the last few days I've been feeling 90 years old and 90 kilos heavy. The only *comfort* of sorts has been the fact that most people I talk to seem to be afflicted with the same curse.
On Saturday afternoon I aired my (Vienna based) bike for the fist and very likely also last time this year and cycled to the Danube Island with Frida and her family. I hadn't seen my godchild Goldilocks since March and was able to see for myself that my birthday present, a funky oilcloth jacket I had bought in N.Y. fit her perfectly. I didn't ask her to pull the hat over her head, by the way, to preserve her anonimity for the blogsphere, she's obviously used to dodging the paparazzi.
I had brought a huge selection of stick-on-tatoos for the 3 kids to share and the boys (aged 7 and 5) were particularly thrilled, decorating themselves with cars, knights and dinosaurs. I adorned myself with a flower and Frida ended up with a kitten on her cleavage. Meeeeow!
When 70% of your regular readers are real-life friends, they prefer to comment offline, like tap you on the shoulder and ask why you haven't written lately or call/e-mail to ask what your most recent post was about.
A random thought for a nonrandom reason: Do you have the right to feel annoyed and taken for a fool when a friend acts all coy and evasive when asked a personal but obvious question. Would you do the same in her place?
I already knew on Monday morning that this week wasn't quite going to be my week. As if further proof was necessary, a suspicious crunch when nibbling on honey-roasted cashews last night revealed a chunk of premolar. Just what I needed.
An Innocent delivery van (UK license plate and all!) spotted on a Viennese street. I don't know if their smoothies are available where you live or whether you are a poor innocent-deprived creature, but believe me, these are pretty addictive concoctions. I discovered them some years ago on a visit to London and after the first hit was hooked. They don't come cheap, though, so when I spotted several varieties of innocent smoothies readily available in the fridges at the Firm's Dublin office, I couldn't believe my luck and almost OD-ed on them.
Since last year Innocent smoothies - and smoothies only, i.e. no lovely vanilla thickies - have been available in selected supermarkets and Starbucks outlets in Vienna, so Austrians have at last become smooth(ie) operators!

We're changing the way people think about media and literacy
What is Media Literacy?
Current Bills & Existing Law
You are being manipulated! The Propaganda Game teaches you HOW (and how to avoid it)
By Layman (Buzz) Allen, president, Accelerated Learning Foundation
We're all exposed to propaganda techniques every day: from politics and advertising to peer pressure and personal relationships – whenever someone tries to influence your attitudes and behavior. The first step to avoid manipulation is to recognize HOW it's being done. When you see the mechanics, you can evaluate more clearly and focus discussion on reasoned arguments and facts. This leads to better decision making.
I am the director of a small, non-profit educational foundation. We are creating online versions of classic academic gaming materials developed by the University of Michigan Instructional Gaming Group. We have just finished a social media version of the Propaganda Game by Robert W. Allen and Lorne Greene. It teaches more that fifty propaganda techniques used every day in politics, advertising and media, relationships, peer interactions, parenting and other areas of daily life. The game allows teachers to have students research and submit their own examples from the world around them in preparation for playing, discussing and debating them in class.
The Propaganda Game was invented by educators in 1965 to teach more than fifty-five different propaganda techniques used to persuade and influence people. Tens of thousands of students have used this game to develop practical, critical thinking skills in daily life – including innovators like Salman Khan, founder of Khan Academy.
The new online version of the Propaganda Game makes it easy to find and share examples from the onslaught of information we face daily. Students love to discover and create their own examples as homework and then play the game in class to identify techniques and debate interpretations. The free website propagandagame.org manages all aspects of the game including easy ways for teachers to use it as a regular weekly teaching unit. The online Propaganda Game includes extensive self-tutoring programs with a database of thousands of examples. There's even commenting so you can swap opinions with the experts.
Here's a sample of what students learn:
Ever heard something like this?
Here Dad uses the irrelevant technique of Manner (acting angry to show he's serious) then follows up with an exploitation technique called an Appeal to Practical Consequences. When cautioned consequences are exaggerated, arbitrary or imaginary, it's manipulative. The real reason to clean up toys is to avoid tripping, breaking them, or getting hurt – and it's inconsiderate.
Most arbitrary threats are Appeals to Practical Consequences, whether you're a would-be Romeo threatening to dump your girlfriend if she doesn't put out, or the president threatening to shut down the government if they don't build your wall. Separating kids from parents and locking them up in cages to discourage illegal immigration is a particularly gruesome example.
Join the Bandwagon Appeals are common in peer pressure and advertising.
This "friend" wants you to join the lemmings just because "everyone else is doing it" – so it must be a good idea? The Bandwagon Appeal is followed by an Appeal to Ridicule implying you're a wimp if you don't go along.
Seducers often use a barrage of techniques to loosen resistance:
Romeo here starts off with the technique called Drawing the Line (If you love me, you'll have sex – if you won't have sex, you don't love me.) The ploy draws sharp distinctions where it's not appropriate. The next salvo is a Join the Bandwagon Appeal (Everybody is hooking up, so we should.) The final shot is another Appeal to Practical Consequences (Give it up or I'll dump you). If she sees through the manipulative mechanics, it's a lot easier to keep her values intact.
The most insidious forms of propaganda are the ones we internalize. Appeals to Prejudice from outside are bad enough but when we adopt Prejudices ourselves, we truly limit our horizons. The final example illustrates the technique of Inconceivability: not accepting something as possible or true because we can't imagine it being actualized. This is how dreams die before they have a chance to be born. Our children deserve a better fate.

With farmlands still flooded, tractors march on July 4th in Ashland
6 months 2 weeks 1 day ago Thursday, July 04 2019 Jul 4, 2019 Thursday, July 04, 2019 12:06:00 PM CDT July 04, 2019 in News
By: Diana Fidarova, KOMU 8 Reporter
ASHLAND - The Annual July 4th Tractor Parade took place on Main Street in Ashland on Thursday, with families and kids looking on to see parade's participants and cheer them.
Michelle and Ben Prichard brought their kids - Brody and Garth - to Ashland to show them a parade for the first time.
Brody said she liked tractors, but the candy was her favorite part.
Ben Prichard said he finds it helpful that the community comes out and does events like this.
"It was a great time, and we appreciate the municipality of Ashland to have us here, putting this on for the community," he said.
9-year-old parade participant Alden Bullard was driving a tractor by himself. He said it's his third parade in Ashland.
"I feel excited to be in a parade," he said.
Bullard said his family has a problem with flooded farmlands.
Parade participant from Hartsburg Steve Van Drimmelen said there are "a handful of farmers" who own the land along the river and don't have flooding problems.
"It was a year to put hay for the livestock and to have it in winter," he said. "For what I've heard, the yield is almost twice what it was last year."
Drimmelen said he finds the event this year especially important, as it helps farmers to feel support from the community.
Director of Public Affairs for the Missouri Farm Bureau Eric Bohl told KOMU 8 in June the bureau doesn't have the exact number of farmers affected, but it's "been huge."
"In Missouri alone, only 18% of the soybean crop has been planted so far, and usually we had 100% by now," he said.

Q: What is the difference between XMLHttpRequest and Service Worker API to preload assets of my web application I have the code below to preload specific files into the cache and it works fine using XMLHttpRequest.

What are the pros and cons of Service Worker API compare to using XMLHttpRequest?
If they both save data to browser's cache why I should use Service Worker?

How the Authority Granted to APRNs in the VA is Helping Make VA Reform a Reality
Now that nurse practitioners and other APRNs within U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinics and hospitals throughout the nation have been given the authority to practice to the fullest extent of their education and training, they're no longer standing on the sidelines. In fact, they're taking the lead in the move to put veterans first, bringing real change to the beleaguered system.
Though it's been widely reported that a concerted effort is underway to increase veteran access to quality healthcare and chip away at the long-standing reputation of lengthy delays, poor record keeping and substandard care at VA facilities, this could very well represent the most substantial action taken to date to right the situation.
Fewer Scheduling Backlogs When NPs Are the Primary Point of Contact
For years, the VA has been under intense scrutiny, with some reports and internal investigations detailing stories of long wait lists leading to months-long delays before patients could be seen by a doctor— delays so long in some instances, that patients died before getting the treatment they needed.
When Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma released the explosive report entitled, "Friendly Fire: Death, Delay and Dismay at the VA" in 2014, the world finally took notice of the appalling examples of poor care and ridiculous delays that service members had been all too familiar with for years. In one example, a veteran in South Carolina was forced to wait nine months for a colonoscopy. By the time the procedure was performed, he was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. It's believed that if he had received treatment in a timely manner, his case may not have been as severe.
While NPs and other APRNs in the VA system are nothing new, until this point, they served largely in a support capacity and weren't being utilized effectively to help reduce backlogs and ensure patients were getting the basic screenings and preventative care they need, when they need it. But at the beginning of this year, that all changed thanks to a ruling that authorizes APRNs to practice to the "full extent of their education, training, and certification, without the clinical supervision of physicians." The VA ruling supersedes any state laws that limit the scope of APRNs.
Today, just 22 states recognize APRNs as independent healthcare providers who can provide healthcare services without the supervision or collaboration of physicians. The new VA ruling would allow APRNs in the other 28 states to enjoy the same privileges, making them exempt from the state laws that restrict their practice.
It's a victory for APRNs, who continue to fight for the right to serve as independent practitioners in a variety of settings. But it's also a victory for veterans who receive their healthcare through the VA and have been subjected to extraordinarily long wait times for basic care and necessary medical treatments.
The VA ruling was born out of the Congressional Commission on Care, which made recommendations for VA reform. Its 2017 report detailed that the VA was "failing to optimize the use of advanced practice nurses."
New Roles, New Opportunities for the VA's APRNs
This new ruling by the VA will likely be a fairly seamless transition, as nurse practitioners (NPs) and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) have long worked in the VA system. NPs, for example, do everything from providing clinical assessments to initiating and managing treatment plans to ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests. The only APRN role unable to provide independent care in the VA healthcare system is the certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA).
The use of NPs for primary care has taken off in recent years, with these APRNs working in a multitude of settings, including doctor's offices, hospitals, and community health centers. Many of the nation's retail clinics operating out of pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens rely on NPs to provide primary healthcare services, and in many rural and low-socioeconomic areas, APRNs now provide primary care to otherwise underserved populations.
It comes as no surprise that the American Medical Association (AMA) opposed the VA's ruling on APRNs, saying that allowing APRNs to practice independently, despite individual state law, will "rewind the clock to an outdated model of care delivery…" The AMA also said that care is best provided through a "coordinated, physician-led, patient-centered, team-based" model.
But statistics don't back up the AMA's claims. According to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, there is a significant body of literature that reveals that primary care outcomes, including reduction of symptoms, mortality, and hospitalization, among others, are comparable between patients that receive care from NPs and those that receive care from physicians.
According to David Shulkin, VA Undersecretary of Health, the expansion of the APRN role within the VA healthcare system will free up physicians and alleviate the persistent problem of providing veterans with timely medical treatment.
The rule still makes it clear, however, that APRNs are not authorized to replace or act as physicians or provide healthcare beyond their clinical education and training, and that these healthcare providers will refer patients to physicians when care extends beyond their training.
Groups like the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the American Nurses Association (ANA) are celebrating this victory. According to an ANA statement, the VA's ruling is a "win for veterans, as well as the VA nurses who treat them."
As of August 2016, the VA employed 5,444 NPs, 937 certified registered nurse anesthetists, and 386 clinical nurse specialists.

The Temptations' 'Ain't Too Proud' Is a Soundtrack for Not Only Yesterday's but Also Today's Divided Times

Known for their many R&B love songs and pop crossover hits, like "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)" and "My Girl," it's easy to forget that The Temptations are more than just crooners. That's why Ain't Too Proud — The Life and Times of the Temptations has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike. It demonstrates just how much impact the group had on America's history and how they evolved alongside the country's ongoing social changes. No wonder the award-winning Broadway musical currently playing at the Imperial Theatre is an undeniable hit and a 12-time nominee at the 2019 Tony Awards less than a year into its run on the Great White Way.

'Silence of the Lambs': The Complete Buffalo Bill Story
Based on surviving member and founder Otis Williams' 1988 memoir, The Temptations, the musical — written by Dominique Morisseau and directed by Des McAnuff — tells of the rise, fall, and redemption of the quintet who quickly became famous in the Sixties and Seventies for their distinct harmonies, show-stopping choreography, and hit songs that provided a soundtrack for one of the most tumultuous times in America. They were one of the singing sensations that helped define Motown Records' unique sound and long-lasting, broad appeal — but that's not the whole story.
Considered a biopic musical, Ain't Too Proud does more than just run through a string of hits, which separates itfrom a glut of jukebox musicals currently on Broadway. "It brings truth to the music," as Derrick Baskin, who portrays Williams onstage, tells Rolling Stone. It shows the inner workings of the group's members and how their ups and downs informed the music as well as reflected the times they were living in. The show links "The Temptations to social and political events circling around them, from civil rights struggles and bigotry to a music business not always keen on allowing the group to write its ownmaterial or express anti-war sentiments," David Browne writes for the magazine.
"No one talked about them in a political way, or how their politics tied in with the politics of the nation," Morisseau says. "Once the white audience thinks they know you, you can't go switching on them," Berry Gordy (Jahi Kearse) says in the show of the group's struggle to breakthrough in a politically charged way. "'TV' black. 'Radio' black. Not the same as 'political' black. You have to serve them music in a way that's digestible. Otherwise they jump ship, and we lose all we worked for." As Sara Holdren writes for New Yorkmagazine, "The Temptations wanted to be a more political band, to respond with more explicit activism to the world in which they were living."
For instance, "War," written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong, is often thought of as Edwin Star's hit protest song, reaching Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970. But as the musical reveals, The Temptations originally recorded a vocal demo of the record and were later upset when they could not release the final song as their own. The group gets to reclaim the record and finally have their anthem moment as the song is performed onstage in front of a captivated and responsive audience. It should be noted that The Temptations did, however, convince Motown Records founder Berry Gordy to let them get more political at the time with the record "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)," which is also reprised in the show.
Then there's "Don't Look Back," a tentative love song written by Smokey Robinson and Ronald White that is given new life in the musical when it's performed while the group recounts the racism they endured touring through the South. "When racists shoot up the tour bus somewhere near Alabama, [it] offers a rare moment of candid conviction about what achieving fame with white audiences means to them," Naveen Kumar writes for Towleroad. It's followed by "I Wish It Would Rain," a melancholy tune infused with deep sorrow as images of Martin Luther King Jr. and headlines about his assassination are displayed on screens behind the actors.

By the end of the show, there's no more separating the group from the social messages of the time, even though not every song was originally written for that purpose. Their music is partly a time capsule, and that's why it's those political moments — from Dr. King to the onset of the Vietnam War — that resonate the most with audiences, both familiar and new to the group.
Another reason audiences are finding such deep meaning in these songs— and the musical as a whole — is because the themes of social change, political divide, and economic disparity feel as applicable to the current sociopolitical landscape as when they were first written and recorded. Ain't Too Proud provides "a lens for us to look at our time and see how much things have and haven't changed," McAnuff tells Rolling Stone.
In the nearly six decades The Temptations have been active, their unwillingness to fit into one type of mold has led to a near-peerless level of enduring relevance. They can sing, they can dance, they most certainly can woo — but they can also inspire, and lead, and be a voice of change as demonstrated in Ain't Too Proud.

Yesterday we celebrated Pepe's birthday and all he wanted was a banana cream pie so, our good friends, Anna and Grant, bought Pepe a Marie Callender's Banana Cream Pie . . . so yummy. Anyway, the pie bought back two good memories for me (warning lots of reminiscing and a delicious recipe to follow).
1. When I was a kid, our family was friends with this older Hispanic couple. They were pie makers at the local Marie Callender's restaurant. I remember they would give us left over pies and I would think that we were so lucky.
WARNING - it takes approximately 10 hours start to finish to make.
We are glad he had a good Birthday! The kids were excited that it was his Birthday and couldn't wait to talk to him, or sing him Happy Birthday on the phone! Makena also lost her first front tooth on the big day and couldn't wait to tell him!

Share this Story: Five myths about autonomous vehicles
Five myths about autonomous vehicles

Autonomous vehicles are the future.
These completely self-driving cars could change our lives, heralding an era of greater convenience, improved productivity and safer roads. Like any transformative technology, driverless cars are attracting huge investment from traditional automakers, established tech giants and smaller start-ups.
Five myths about autonomous vehicles Back to video
But all that promise is also fueling a great deal of hype and ungrounded speculation.
Here are five of the most persistent myths.
Myth No. 1: Autonomous cars will mean fewer private ones
Recent studies from the University of Michigan and KPMG predict that the arrival of autonomous vehicles (AVs) will reduce private car ownership in the United States by 43 percent by 2030, and sales in urban markets by 50 percent by 2035.
They hold that families will need fewer cars and that many people will opt for "mobility as a service" — a supposedly cheap and efficient model in which travelers will summon vehicles on demand instead of keeping one (or more) in the garage. Even the usually levelheaded BBC recently declared that "you have (probably) already bought your last car."
But people do not buy automobiles simply to get around; they own cars to get from A to B in a way that's convenient for them.
This means a car at your doorstep, available at a time of your choosing (with no charge if you change your mind) and with your belongings exactly as and where you left them.
Automobiles signal our values and extend our private space — things a shared service cannot offer. Nic Lutsey of the International Council on Clean Transportation sums this up perfectly: "In reality, a lot of people will have the same inclinations as they do today, to own a private auto and use it the way they want, without compromises."
Even if the inconvenience can be overcome, a recent study from the Victoria Transport Policy Institute suggests that owning a non-autonomous car will, for many users, continue to be cheaper than buying a self-driving car or hailing a ride, for some time to come.
Indeed, car sales in the United States are at their highest level in 40 years, and Americans are keeping their cars longer than ever. It is going to take more than a new generation of highly efficient taxis to eliminate private automobile ownership.

Myth No. 2: Self-driving cars will fix downtown congestion.
Automakers, forward-thinking politicians and tech leaders like Google co-founder Sergey Brin have long asserted that self-driving cars will make congested streets a bad memory. They say these vehicles will be able to travel in tight groups, known as platoons, which will pack more cars onto the road, save fuel and allow traffic to move in a mathematically optimized fashion. Science magazine recently reported that introducing even just a small number of AVs onto the roads could improve overall traffic flow and reduce trip times.
But without careful management, autonomous vehicles will make traffic worse. City-center parking is expensive, which creates an incentive to keep moving. This means self-driving cars will slowly cruise the streets, by the thousands, as they await their next ride or duty. Research from the World Economic Forum shows that as people choose driverless vehicles over public transport, traffic volumes could increase, and parts of our cities could become more congested, not less.
Myth No. 3: AVs will reduce our environmental impact.
People commonly conflate AV technology with electric vehicles. Mary Barra, chief executive of General Motors, may have been guilty of this when she recently pitched her company's mission as: "Zero emissions. Zero crashes. Zero congestion." McKinsey has claimed that self-driving cars could reduce traffic-related carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 60 percent.
It is easy to forget, however, that autonomous-vehicle software can be applied to existing hardware; both electric and gasoline-powered automobiles can be self-driven. Even if many autonomous vehicles do turn out to be electric, their environmental impact will depend on the source of that electricity: Are their batteries charged by power from coal, gas, wind or solar? As a former chief executive of BP and co-head of the world's largest renewable-energy investment fund, I have spent more than two decades advocating for action to decarbonize the economy and update our energy infrastructure. Without such action, it is hard to say what effect self-driving cars (or indeed electric ones) will have on carbon dioxide emissions.
KPMG forecasts that total annual mileage covered by the U.S. light-vehicle fleet could rise from 2.8 trillion miles (4.5 trillion km.) today to nearly 4.5 trillion miles (7.2 trillion km.) by 2040, as driverless cars make road travel cheaper and more readily available to both older and younger customers. If this is right, it seems likely that self-driving vehicles could increase our environmental impact.
Myth No. 4: The auto insurance industry will shut down.
AVs carry the promise that human error in driving can be eliminated. This would be great news for road users — but not necessarily for auto insurers. A 2015 study by insurer Metromile estimated that, for self-driving cars, the average automobile premium could fall by $1,000. KPMG predicts that this could result in an overall contraction of the auto insurance market by 60% by 2050.
But autonomous vehicles cannot remove risk entirely; they will just reapportion it. AVs will still make mistakes, and computers will still crash, injuring or killing people and damaging property. AVs also introduce substantial new sources of risk, like the very real possibility of being hacked by malign actors. As cybersecurity expert David Barzilai told the Financial Times: "In a data center [the biggest risk] is loss of data. With the car it is loss of life. The stakes are so much higher." While it's not clear who will be responsible for insuring against these incidents, it is unrealistic to believe that insurance will no longer be necessary.
Myth No. 5: AVs are already safer than human driving.
According to the most optimistic estimates – including McKinsey's 2015 report – the widespread adoption of self-driving cars could reduce traffic accidents by as much as 90 percent, since they largely take driver error out of the equation. Tesla has said that when its cars are in autopilot mode, they are statistically safer than human drivers. A similar claim was made by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute in its 2016 study of Google's self-driving cars.
The reality is more complex. First, we do not have the right tools and protocols to verify the safety of AVs. In aviation, safety is underpinned by universal standards and exacting formal testing, which aren't yet in place for autonomous vehicles.Self-driving cars don't have enough miles on the road to compare their safety record with that of conventionally operated vehicles.
Second, even if it could be demonstrated that AVs are safer than human drivers, it may not be enough to win the public's trust. We seem to tolerate humans killing other humans in accidents, but we do not tolerate machines killing humans. That is why the crashes of two Boeing 737 Max airplanes, in which software caused tragic accidents, have provoked such fury and fear. For as long as there is a risk of an accident involving an AV, there will be a degree of mistrust.
Meanwhile, test versions of self-driving cars have already killed passengers and pedestrians. The public is understandably wary of this technology: A recent Brookings Institution survey showed that only 21% of U.S. adults would willingly ride in an autonomous vehicle. Too many more fatalities, and the development of autonomous technology could be seriously derailed, which might in turn make it harder to adopt better safety standards. Driverless cars are not yet operating in a driverless world, and many of them still seem to behave in ways that lead to collisions with human-operated vehicles. If we are scared off by such problems, we will all miss out on the potentially transformative benefits of vehicles that drive themselves.

Brain Balance – follow up
In the four years since I wrote my initial post about Brain Balance, I have received innumerable emails from anxious parents asking for my perspective following the program. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to personally respond to all the inquiries I receive. I am writing this post to address those questions, and to provide some additional information.
The main question I received from parents over the years is some variation of "is it worth it?" In other words, will the cost, the time, the stress of the program result in a happier, healthier, well adjusted kid? The answer (for us at least), is sadly (but unequivocally), no.
There were very enticing aspects of the Brain Balance program, which I described in detail in my earlier post. But in hindsight, on our most angry days, my partner and I have called it 'modern day snake oil'. It is likely that your children will see an improvement while you are doing the intensive program, which is one hour three times a week. We paid for two sessions for our oldest and one for youngest. Buy the end of the second session, we stopped seeing progress and we were completely disillusioned. And down $15K in our retirement account.
It might be useful to provide some more detail on our two boys, who were four and six at the time. We had just relocated for my new job, and so we had to establish new social networks, new physicians for the kids, and more. However, if you are not interested in the details of our kids' stories, please jump ahead to the final section entitled What should I do instead (of Brain Balance)?
Our oldest
Before our move, our oldest was diagnosed at age three with Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified, or PDD-NOS for short. At the time, it was part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis at the more high-functioning end. He has had an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) since that time, which has included fine motor skills, language / communication, and a host of social issues. Although intellectually high functioning, he was struggling to exhibit socially appropriate behavior and connect with peers. Like any parent under those conditions, we were extremely worried about his future.
Once we were settled in our new home and new school district (and after extensive research), we made a decision to put our oldest son on a gluten and dairy free diet (GFCF, where the C stands for casein, the protein in milk products). We saw really significant behavior differences as a result of those dietary changes. We removed gluten first, and saw a lot of his anger and aggressive behavior disappear overnight. The elimination of dairy evened him out emotionally – reducing anger and sadness to the point where he started to feel like a neurotypical kid. I mention this because Brain Balance centers do recommend these changes, and it might be possible to experience truly radical changes that have more to do with the dietary changes than with the program itself. In fact, in our experience, the dietary changes were significantly more impactful than almost everything else we've tried in the six years since his initial diagnosis.
When we first started the Brain Balance program, one of the things we noticed was changes in his sense of smell. Specifically, he had never responded to smells in the house before. But following some of the sensory work at Brain Balance, he commented more than once on the smells coming from the kitchen – "Mmm, Mama, are you making cookies?".
Other perseverating behaviors became less prevalent as well. For example, he used to create imaginary 'guys', elaborate characters will different skills and abilities who fought in an imagined universe. He would talk about them, draw them, and play independently with those characters for hours on end. It was very hard for him to engage in imaginative play with other kids, because it was so elaborate and different that other kids had no idea how to engage. However, over the course of the Brain Balance program, he started to do less and less with his "guys". In fact at one point, he told us that he was losing the ability to create new guys, which was a bit distressing for him. His feedback reminded me of John Elder Robison, author of Look Me in the Eye, who described his experience of coming to terms with his adult diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome. Robison realized he could either work deeply in music engineering, or he could develop social skills and engage with the world. When he did the latter, the part of his brain that was so deeply engrossed in making musical instruments began to atrophy. I felt there were very real parallels between his story and what we were seeing with our oldest.
However, with the exception of those two experiences, following the completion of Brain Balance, we really felt there were no meaningful, lasting changes. Angry, frustrated, disappointed (and $10K poorer), we began to look for alternatives yet again. We had moved to a new state before the kids started school, and a friend in our new hometown referred us to a neuro-developmental pediatrician, who evaluated our son. With the dietary changes (and the changes to the diagnostic manual), he no longer has an ASD diagnosis. He's still the same kid – intelligent, with a number of Asperger-like tendencies – but the label has changed. He is now technically diagnosed with ADHD, with other behaviors that look a bit like autism.
After discussions with the physician and at home, we made the difficult decision to try medication. We shed a lot of tears over the decision, because we had started Brain Balance in part to avoid medication if at all possible. We know medicines can be scary, including awful side effects such as self-isolation or aggression. But ultimately, the main drivers for us were that he desperately wanted to connect with his peers (but didn't know how), and that the inability to connect was affecting his self-esteem.
It took us three different types of medicine to find the right one for him. We stopped the first few for various reasons, including oppositional behavior, aggression, isolation, and more. When we finally found something that worked, his second grade year was over. He started third grade with a whole new group of classmates, and had his first experience of having a posse – "The Gang" that he sat with at lunch, and played with at recess. One of those friends eventually blossomed into a best friend – something we never imagined possible a few years before.
At age nine, does he still have issues? Of course he does! Don't we all?! But he continues to make friends in school, and he getting more active in sports. He still struggles with pragmatic language and reading social queues (social communication), but we have high hopes that he is going to be a happy, nerdy, successful young man some day.
Our youngest
Our youngest son was three at the time we enrolled him in Brain Balance. Because he was so young, his program was modified. We didn't notice any meaningful changes as a result of his enrollment in Brain Balance.
He was formally diagnosed with ADHD in kindergarten. At the time he was exhibiting a lot of the classic behaviors – he was super focused when engaged in preferred tasks (Legos, iPad time, being read to). The rest of the time he was noisy and high energy, seeking stimulation through touch, sound, and mild troublemaking of various kinds. At the time, he was too young for medication.
He was on a gluten- and dairy-free diet, mostly. He was in afternoon kindergarten, so in the mornings he would run errands with my partner, including grocery shopping and more. Many times, the reward was a lunch date at Panera, complete with grilled cheese, a tube of yogurt, and more. And then, he would go off to school and engage in all kinds of disruptive behavior. A meeting with the Learning Behavioral Specialist (LBS) at the school confirmed that consistent dietary changes were needed, and sadly, the sweet little lunch dates at Panera had to stop. However, within 24 hours of making the change, we received three, independent, unsolicited bits of feedback from his teachers about the remarkable improvements they were seeing. This further reinforced for us the importance of diet in managing ADHD symptoms.
Unfortunately, by the first grade, the disruptive behavior had gotten worse, perhaps because he was in school for the full day, and the expectations were starting to increase. He failed to complete any of the questions on the baseline standardized tests for his grade. A zero. We were told that exceptionally focused students could hope to make up thirty percentage points in a year – from 0 to 30%, if we were lucky. He basically was not demonstrating that he would be ready for second grade with his peers. It was following that (and a Parent Teacher convergence with an extremely frustrated teacher) that we finally decided to try medicine for our youngest as well. Academic success played a big role our our decision, of course, but the breaking point for us was when he came home and said to us "Why am I always on Yellow or Red at school? I never make it to Purple like the other kids do."
We started him on medication in the Spring of his first grade year, and we saw extraordinary results. For his first two weeks on the medicine he came home on Purple every day, and he was just over the moon. By the end of the year, he was testing in the middle / high end of his cohort on the standardized tests, something that would have been unimaginable just a few months earlier.
What should we do instead?
If I knew then what I knew now … well, I'd have $15K in my pocket. But since they are both doing well now, I would have also had a lot less heartache about how to help our kids! If you are just starting your research, here are some things to consider:
Keep in mind that while many of these conditions express in aberrant behavior, they are the result (at least in part) of biochemical imbalances. Thus, the conditions can be addressed to some degree by understanding your child's genetic pre-dispositions, changing diet, and introducing proper supplementation. Of course, in many cases, behavior change and/or IEPs are still absolutely necessary – that is certainly true for our kids.
Based on what we've learned along the way, we would not recommend Dr. Daniel Amen's approach, either. Like the Brain Balance centers, there are many enticing things about how he approaches these issues and proposes to solve them. There is some science and a whole lot of guesswork. When you consider the complexities of genetics, environment, and more, I really believe there is just no mass-produced, cookie-cutter solution for complex cases like ours.
I do recommend you look at the research and writing of Amy Yasko. Her work is dense and highly sophisticated, but in essence she is helping to treat people with Autism Spectrum diagnosis through a deep understanding of biochemistry. Much of her research is available for free.
You might also consider getting your child's genome mapped at 23andme, and then taking that information to a Functional Medicine Practitioner (FMP) who can help put the right personalized treatment programs in place. You can read more about how I've used those reports to manage my own health in this blog post.
I wish you the best of luck in your own efforts to take care of your little family members. I apologize that I am not able to respond to all of your anxious and heartfelt inquiries personally, but I hope this additional detail will help you on your way.

Thank you for your honesty. I personally know a lady that owns several Brain Balance Centers. We knew them when we lived in Mesquite Nevada. Seems weird to me that this person had children that went through the program. It was such a great program that she owns many Brain Balance Centers now! However I would challenge anyone to spend a day with her child that supposedly had been helped by this nonsense and tell me if they think this child was helped! She knows this franchise doesn't do any more good than if I made up my own program and spent time with these kids. I will say that it has helped in one category…..it has helped her make alot of money!
