Annmarie Lindley 19.04.2019 - 19:13:
Ok, I think I just figured it out my boo boo, regarding the arms. I'm supposed to do A3. that is the ch 6, 1 sc around the ch sts I made for the arms so that there is an actual arm hole. I need to do 7 repeats into the ch. Which, at this moment I don't have. I have 49 chs hanging out on the back of my sweater. Silly me. I was baffled by the arms. So, I'll have to frog a few rows. Thank you for this fun, challenging sweater. I'm having a wonderful time. Its also quite beautiful.
Annmarie Lindley 19.04.2019 - 15:17:
After you do the chain spaces for the arms and continue with section A3 are the ch spaces supposed to be above (on the right side) or below (on the wrong side) of the pattern? In other words, do you work over the arm chains or under them? Should the arm chains lay on top of the stitches or be on the underside? I hope I'm explaining myself well enough.
Cheryl Wieger 16.04.2019 - 03:48:
Could you please tell me in the pattern (after doing the chain stitches for armholes) it states working A3 again in all stitches. Do I work these same stitches I skipped for the armholes? Or do I work these stitches along the chain for the sleeve. Iam confused. Love this pattern by the way. Thank you.
DROPS Design 23.04.2019 kl. 10:25:Dear Mrs Wieger, on the round after skipping sts for the armhole you replaced with chain stitches, continue working in the chains for the armholes = there should be 2 holes for the sleeves. Happy crocheting!

Data Mining for Educational Management
Based on computer information systems, data mining (DM) is a technique designed to scan huge data repositories, generate information, and discover knowledge (Vlahos et al. 2004). By applying different tools, DM seeks hidden relationships in raw data in order to discover data patterns. Therefore, DM can play an important role in unveiling a broad set of findings and, consequently, offers valuable support in decision-making. The incorporation of DM into the educational arena has given rise to a new research field called educational data mining (EDM) (Anjewierden et al. 2011). In this case, the aim is to design models, tasks, methods, and algorithms for exploring data from educational settings (Peña-Ayala 2014). Altogether, they can help to improve management activities in educational institutions, thus empowering the performance of educational managers.
Many evidences support the statement that knowledge is among the main assets of organizations (Nonaka et al. 2008). Part of the organizational knowledge resides in the minds of employees, as intrinsic knowledge, and another part is stored as data in companies' repositories. In both cases, they consist of hidden knowledge, and, as with any other resource, the organizations cannot afford to misuse it. This way, as the knowledge management approach has proven to be an effective means of gathering the intrinsic knowledge of the organization's personnel and convert it into explicit knowledge, it is also important to explore the hidden knowledge in an organization's data and transform it into explicit knowledge. All these efforts can greatly contribute toward improving the decision-making process. DM arises as a powerful approach to aid in the accomplishment of this goal. Consequently, it is worth managers being knowledgeable about this technique.
Data Mining
The starting point of a DM approach is the availability of data repositories. The development and ubiquitous use of information technology have led to all kinds of organizations, almost inadvertently, disposing of datasets resulting from their core activities. Information about customers, personnel, transactions, etc. is stored in electronic records. In some cases, repositories are comprised of heterogeneous datasets; sometimes their size is so huge that it makes it difficult to extract useful and comprehensive knowledge from them. Thus, the raw material – the data – can be assimilated into a "mine" with potential treasures within. The challenge is to develop and apply the appropriate tools needed "to extract" the hidden wealth as useful and comprehensible knowledge. In turn, this knowledge constitutes the basis for improved decision-making. The main difference with statistical analysis lies in the fact that DM involves methods that search for new and generalizable relationships and findings, rather than attempting to test prior hypotheses. This difference in the approach followed is the reason why data mining is also referred to as "knowledge discovery" in databases (Collins et al. 2004).
DM technique originated within this context, with the aim of discovering hidden and nontrivial relationships in information, of various types, extracted from large amounts of data (Campagni et al. 2015). Many areas have benefited from adapting the DM technique to solve their problems – among them, finance, healthcare systems, marketing, stock markets, telecommunication, manufacturing, and customer relations. In fact, it can be recognized as a contemporary tool for building knowledge management systems (Jashapara 2011). DM is a broad concept grounded on a set of disciplines, such as statistics, artificial intelligence, and computer science. Different subsets contribute to the development of DM – among them, probability, machine learning, natural language, neural networks, database management systems, etc.
The literature offers a broad set of experiences, demonstrating that statistical methods are well-established tools for analyzing data and extracting useful information. However, DM emerges as a fresh approach to understanding hidden patterns and data prediction. A reason explaining why DM has turned out to be very popular among researchers lies in the many standalone or desktop data mining tools available on the market. The following can be cited as examples: Microsoft Excel, SPSS, Weka, Protégé as Knowledge Acquisition System, and Rapid Miner. Some of them (e.g., MS Excel Mining tool) are normally available to instructors and educational managers, and they can benefit greatly from the existing knowledge of Excel.
The development of the DM technique usually follows one of two main approaches. The descriptive approach focuses on producing patterns that explain or generalize the intrinsic structure, relations, and interconnections of available data (Peng et al. 2008). The predictive approach centers on estimating unknown or future values of dependent variables based on the values of related independent variables (Hand et al. 2001). To follow either of these approaches, a number of methods and techniques can be adopted. A sample of them includes Markov models, Bayes theorem, decision trees, linear regression, frequencies, and hierarchical clustering.
Educational Data Mining
The International Educational Data Mining Society (2018) defines educational data mining (EDM) as an "emerging discipline, concerned with developing methods for exploring the unique and increasingly large-scale data that comes from educational settings and using those methods to better understand students and the settings which they learn in." Thus, EDM is a relatively recent research area that explores and analyzes the information stored in student and institutional databases in order to understand and improve the performance both of the student learning process and of educational institutions. Data is analyzed by using statistical and algorithms with the aim of resolving problems of an educational nature and improving the entire educational process. EDM is a growing research area that involves researchers from all over the world from both different and related areas (Campagni et al. 2015).
According to Peña-Ayala (2014), close to 98% of the published works about EDM have appeared since 2000. EDM has shifted from isolated papers published in conferences and journals to dedicated workshops, an annual international conference on educational data mining (http://www.educationaldatamining.org), a specialized journal on EDM (Journal of Educational Data Mining), as well as books and handbooks. Although focused on a specific scope, the educational setting, EDM shares with other disciplines its basic principles. Therefore, most of the processes that format and refine data, as well as the tools adopted to handle the datasets, are the same that can be found in other instances where the DM technique is applied.
Process and Tools in EDM
The data used during the EDM process should respond to the objective of the research; thus, the correct adoption of the data source is of great importance, especially in environments with different databases which can misdirect the focus of the researcher. In educational settings, data is stored in repositories that might appear in forms and formats that do not enable them to be analyzed directly. Often, educational researchers and practitioners work with data recorded in forms that are not immediately amenable to analysis, as could be the case with data retrieved from log files or learning management systems (LMS). Some characteristics of these types of educational data mean that it may be defined as messy; sometimes incomplete; fragmented in several parts that must be merged; and occasionally unfamiliar, inconvenient, or in highly unusual formats. Before performing an analysis, the data should offer a meaningful format. In addition, data needs to be cleaned and cases and values that are not simply outliers, but clearly incorrect, removed (i.e., cases where birth dates have impossible values). An example of tools well suited for the manipulation, cleaning, and formatting of data are Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and the EDM Workbench.
The next step after data adaptation to a workable format is the analysis and modelling of the dataset and the validation of the resulting models. There is a full range of DM algorithms. According to the objectives pursued, a certain algorithm is to be adopted. The knowledge of the data miner is crucial for choosing the correct approach. Furthermore, a high degree of knowledge of application domains is required to interpret results and evaluate whether further exploration is needed. Additionally, data expertise is required to explain strange patterns that may be due to data pollution or other causes, such as data conversions. Therefore, the analysis step may be subject to a number of uncertainties, and, consequently, the data miner is advised to follow a holistic approach. A set of tools that are appropriate for this task include RapidMiner, Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA), KEEL, KoNstanz Information MinEr (KNIME), Orange, and SPSS.
A final step, once the analysis has been conducted and the results validated, is that of disseminating the output in legible and informative visualizations. Occasionally, good visualization schemes are crucial for deriving meaning from data. Therefore, the adoption of appropriate tools and methods for visual analytics can effectively support academics and practitioners in gaining knowledge and insight from data, as well as communicating its implications. Although many of the aforementioned tools are accrued with graphical data displays, researchers and practitioners can make use of a set of tools designed to create polished and informative graphs, charts, models, networks, diagrams, and other forms of visualized information. Examples of this kind of tool are Tableau, D3.js, and InfoVis. A final consideration for researchers and practitioners of EDM, as pointed out by Slater et al. (2017), is that no one tool is ideally suited to conducting the entire process of analyzing datasets from start to finish. As different tools are uniquely suited to different tasks, they must be carefully chosen in order to take advantage of their potential.
Limitations of EDM
Most data mining techniques work best with very large samples. In this regard, Andonie (2010) pointed out that some data mining tools, such as neural networks, may not be able to accomplish the goal of understanding hidden patterns, since small datasets cannot provide enough data to fill the gaps. Several authors concluded that small datasets limit the scope of the DM technique (Yuan and Fine 1998). However, in the daily life of academic institutions, there are many situations where the most common is the availability of small datasets. The data which is collected on courses that students take is a good example of such a situation; even if a relatively large group of students attends the course, the relevant data is usually considered a small dataset. This constraint raises an important barrier to adoption of the DM technique in the educational arena. Therefore, a likely scenario could be a wide availability of contemporary DM tools but the impossibility of using them reliably because the available data is limited and clearly falls into the category of small data sets. However, on the contrary, some researchers clearly support DM generally not being limited to large datasets. Specific use of DM tools for structured small datasets can also offer reliable results (Nooraei et al. 2011; Natek and Zwilling 2014). Another limiting factor concerns privacy issues; in data mining projects where personal data is used, it is important for the educational management team to be aware of the legislation, all the more because data may belong to underage students.
Classification of EDM Functionalities
- 1.
Analysis of student modelling. This group includes the highest number of works in EDM. Within this group, all kinds of student traits, actions, and achievements are considered as part of this functionality. The issues addressed by works in this category include instruction and learning styles, resource usage, analysis and prediction of academic achievements, student success factors, students' mental states, domain knowledge, learning trajectories, knowledge tracing, and skills.
- 2.
Analysis of student behavior modelling. This group includes research focused on the analysis, description, and evaluation of student behavior. Among the issues that are subject to study and characterization, the analysis of students' contributions, persistence in online activity, careless attitudes, user-system interaction, self-adaptation, collaborative activities, solving styles, ability, outcomes, understanding, behavior, task completion, and final marks stand out.
- 3.
Analysis of student performance modelling. This functionality covers research and practical works oriented toward dealing with failure, success, students' response times, time needed to solve a problem, preparation for future learning, knowledge mastered, learning progression, response patterns, and learning achievements. The goal is to aid educational staff to supervise and assess, in a timely manner, students, with the aim of anticipating adjustments. Educational management teams could find it of interest to promote this facet of DM among teaching staff to improve student performance.
- 4.
Analysis of assessment. The group of EDM applications, centered on assessment functionality, has as their main goal the evaluation and control of efficacy, efficiency, and quality of the evaluation systems, as well as the inclusion of instances aimed at assessing the degree of user satisfaction of all kinds. The issues covered in this group include, among other things, the inquiry process, learned skills, discovered relationships among responses, difficulty levels of problems, student accuracy, learning activities, misunderstandings, and the merits and pitfalls of standardized tests.
- 5.
Analysis of student support and feedback. This functionality aims to develop enhanced computer educational systems by means of their personalization and customization to meet students' demands. Some of the instances considered under this aggrupation include dialogue analysis, generation of hints, decision-making, customized feedback, reinforcement, recommendations, opinion about teaching behaviors, advice content, student annotations, dealing with emotions, and stimulation of competences.
- 6.
Analysis of curriculum, domain knowledge, sequencing, and teacher support. This functionality represents heterogeneous tasks and components. This group includes those instances that do not fit into previous classification, although they cover important facets of the educational process. Among the topics addressed include content authoring, knowledge description, teachers' collaboration in tailoring curricula, personalized searching of educational content, user-tool interaction, curriculum analysis, scheduling of learning activities, design of hierarchical content structures, and teacher mentoring behaviors. Peña-Ayala (2014) expects that the evolution of this sort of functionality will see an increasing demand in academic interest.
Implications for Educational Management
An educational institution maintains and stores various types of student data; it can range from student academic data to their personal records, including parents' incomes, qualifications, etc. This repository can potentially allow managers and teachers to extract useful information in order to make management-level decisions. Although the scope and implications of managerial decisions is not the same, depending on the decision-maker (e.g., educational manager or teacher), both actors can greatly influence the quality of the teaching-learning process. Decisions at the educational management level can lead to actions such as the construction of new facilities to respond to social and educational demands, hiring new staff with specific expertise or skills, developing programs for the deeper involvement of parents, etc. On the other hand, decisions at the teacher/instructor level are more limited in scope but can equally contribute to the improvement in quality of the teaching-learning process in the classroom (e.g., rapid response to abandonment attitudes, student success predictions, etc.). Therefore, EDM should not be conceived of as a technique aimed at a specific actor within the educational arena; it is of interest to all those who can, at their own level of influence, contribute to a better performance of the educational process.
The functionalities of EDM described in the previous section obey actions that can be promoted either at the teacher/instructor level or at the managerial level. The management of schools and colleges and, of course, the management of government bodies have a wider capacity to influence and convince researchers and practitioners to learn about and adopt the EDM technique. The literature shows that the adoption of EDM has contributed to improving the educational process by, for example, (i) predicting students' performances using a dataset consisting of students' gender, parental education, their financial background, etc.; (ii) predicting student learning outcomes based on attributes such as attendance and performance in class tests and assignments; (iii) student modelling using the educational history of students; and (iv) predicting the academic dismissal of students and the GPA of graduated students in e-learning, using regression analysis and classification (Dutt et al. 2017). These evidences show that EDM can, in a broad sense, arise as an important tool for improving the work of educational managers.
EDM has emerged as a paradigm oriented toward designing models, tasks, methods, and algorithms for exploring data from educational settings. The potential opportunities provided by EDM, which claims new paradigms for enhancing the scope, quality, efficiency, and achievements of educational systems, are promising in the field of education due to it being a high priority for global society. In recent years, a wide array of tools has emerged for the purpose of conducting educational data mining (EDM). These tools have proven their utility with respect to common data pre-processing and analysis steps in a typical EDM project. Educational management should consider EDM as an opportunity for improving the quality of decision-making, both at their level and at the teacher/instructor level, thanks to its potential for discovery of hidden patterns of information; thus, their involvement is crucial in order to take advantage of this paradigm. However, this technique shows some limitations that must be taken in consideration so as not to encounter the potential pitfalls that, in the long-term, may end up causing mistrust and doubt regarding the usefulness of EDM.

Media Trends to Watch out For in 2019
Did you know that online e-commerce ads are set to take off in 2019? To be ready to adapt to the ever-changing and improving online marketing trends, you need an effective brand marketing strategy. The rising need for online advertising has created an industry that is expected to provide revenue of around 100billion in the global advertising market. Businesses in 2019 must gear up to pick up on the newest media trends and create ads that are relevant to these trends to stay at the top of their game. Here are the top trends that you should watch out for in 2019.
The Ever Increasing Demand for Subscription-Video on Demand (SVoD)
We understand that this lengthy term with a strange acronym might confuse you but when we say Netflix, it perhaps becomes clear that we are talking about similar services. Netflix, HBO and other SVoD services have changed the way we watch television.
Now we can stream our favorite shows and movies on different devices at the same time. The trend is expected to grow since Hulu, Now TV, and Amazon Prime have exclusive content. We are looking at huge revenues from advertising in content placement. To enhance your brand marketing strategy by doing product placement in a SVoD content, you will give your brand a boost.
Instagram is the New Trend
Instagram has millions of active users, which makes it a perfect platform for an effective brand marketing strategy. Members are switching from Facebook and giving all their attention to Instagram feeds. The changing preferences of users indicate that monetizing their Instagram accounts is a fool-proof way to establishing a successful brand.
Brands are expected to post photos and stories to capture their target audience. The shorter attention span of the current customers makes it challenging for companies to stay on track. But thankfully there are plenty of services and experts out there to help develop an engaging brand marketing strategy.
Personalized Podcast Ads
Ever since the digital audio and voice tech company Acast began to run personalized podcast ads across its global network comprising of 125 million users each month, it has developed into a new marketing trend. Now companies are focusing on a brand marketing strategy that includes different categories of podcasts for different device types. Now it's possible to target specific locations and aim podcasts with special discounts to each particular location. Companies need to include personalized podcasts for a greater market share.

Another empirical question concerns the effects of stimulants on motivation, which can affect academic and occupational performance independent of cognitive ability. Volkow and colleagues (2004) showed that MPH increased participants' self-rated interest in a relatively dull mathematical task. This is consistent with student reports that prescription stimulants make schoolwork seem more interesting (e.g., DeSantis et al., 2008). To what extent are the motivational effects of prescription stimulants distinct from their cognitive effects, and to what extent might they be more robust to differences in individual traits, dosage, and task? Are the motivational effects of stimulants responsible for their usefulness when taken by normal healthy individuals for cognitive enhancement?
"My husband and I (Ryan Cedermark) are so impressed with the research Cavin did when writing this book. If you, a family member or friend has suffered a TBI, concussion or are just looking to be nicer to your brain, then we highly recommend this book! Your brain is only as good as the body's internal environment and Cavin has done an amazing job on providing the information needed to obtain such!"
"The author's story alone is a remarkable account of not just survival, but transcendence of a near-death experience. Cavin went on to become an advocate for survival and survivors of traumatic brain injuries, discovering along the way the key role played by nutrition. But this book is not just for injury survivors. It is for anyone who wants to live (and eat) well."
If you want to focus on boosting your brain power, Lebowitz says you should primarily focus on improving your cardiovascular health, which is "the key to good thinking." For example, high blood pressure and cholesterol, which raise the risk of heart disease, can cause arteries to harden, which can decrease blood flow to the brain. The brain relies on blood to function normally.
With subtle effects, we need a lot of data, so we want at least half a year (6 blocks) or better yet, a year (12 blocks); this requires 180 actives and 180 placebos. This is easily covered by $11 for Doctor's Best Best Lithium Orotate (5mg), 200-Count (more precisely, Lithium 5mg (from 125mg of lithium orotate)) and $14 for 1000x1g empty capsules (purchased February 2012). For convenience I settled on 168 lithium & 168 placebos (7 pill-machine batches, 14 batches total); I can use them in 24 paired blocks of 7-days/1-week each (48 total blocks/48 weeks). The lithium expiration date is October 2014, so that is not a problem
Even the best of today's nootropics only just barely scratch the surface. You might say that we are in the "Nokia 1100" phase of taking nootropics, and as better tools and more data come along, the leading thinkers in the space see a powerful future. For example, they are already beginning to look past biochemistry to the epigenome. Not only is the epigenome the code that runs much of your native biochemistry, we now know that experiences in life can be recorded in your epigenome and then passed onto future generations. There is every reason to believe that you are currently running epigenetic code that you inherited from your great-grandmother's life experiences. And there is every reason to believe that the epigenome can be hacked – that the nootropics of the future can not only support and enhance our biochemistry, but can permanently change the epigenetic code that drives that biochemistry and that we pass onto our children. This is why many healthy individuals use nootropics. They have great benefits and can promote brain function and reduce oxidative stress. They can also improve sleep quality.
Nootropics are a specific group of smart drugs. But nootropics aren't the only drugs out there that promise you some extra productivity. More students and office workers are using drugs to increase their productivity than ever before [79]. But unlike with nootropics, many have side-effects. And that is precisely what is different between nootropics and other enhancing drugs, nootropics have little to no negative side-effects.
l-Theanine – A 2014 systematic review and meta-analysis found that concurrent caffeine and l-theanine use had synergistic psychoactive effects that promoted alertness, attention, and task switching;[29] these effects were most pronounced during the first hour post-dose.[29] However, the European Food Safety Authority reported that, when L-theanine is used by itself (i.e. without caffeine), there is insufficient information to determine if these effects exist.[34]
Ngo has experimented with piracetam himself ("The first time I tried it, I thought, 'Wow, this is pretty strong for a supplement.' I had a little bit of reflux, heartburn, but in general it was a cognitive enhancer. . . . I found it helpful") and the neurotransmitter DMEA ("You have an idea, it helps you finish the thought. It's for when people have difficulty finishing that last connection in the brain").
Please note: Smart Pills, Smart Drugs or Brain Food Supplements are also known as: Brain Smart Vitamins, Brain Tablets, Brain Vitamins, Brain Booster Supplements, Brain Enhancing Supplements, Cognitive Enhancers, Focus Enhancers, Concentration Supplements, Mental Focus Supplements, Mind Supplements, Neuro Enhancers, Neuro Focusers, Vitamins for Brain Function,Vitamins for Brain Health, Smart Brain Supplements, Nootropics, or "Natural Nootropics"
Nootropics are a responsible way of using smart drugs to enhance productivity. As defined by Giurgea in the 1960's, nootropics should have little to no side-effects. With nootropics, there should be no dependency. And maybe the effects of nootropics are smaller than for instance Adderall, you still improve your productivity without risking your life. This is what separates nootropics from other drugs.
A number of so-called 'smart drugs' or cognitive enhancers have captured attention recently, from stimulants such as modafinil, to amphetamines (often prescribed under the name Adderall) and methylphenidate (also known by its brand name Ritalin). According to widespread news reports, students have begun using these drugs to enhance their performance in school and college, and are continuing to do so in their professional lives.
What if you could simply take a pill that would instantly make you more intelligent? One that would enhance your cognitive capabilities including attention, memory, focus, motivation and other higher executive functions? If you have ever seen the movie Limitless, you have an idea of what this would look like—albeit the exaggerated Hollywood version. The movie may be fictional but the reality may not be too far behind.
One of the most obscure -racetams around, coluracetam (Smarter Nootropics, Ceretropic, Isochroma) acts in a different way from piracetam - piracetam apparently attacks the breakdown of acetylcholine while coluracetam instead increases how much choline can be turned into useful acetylcholine. This apparently is a unique mechanism. A crazy Longecity user, ScienceGuy ponied up $16,000 (!) for a custom synthesis of 500g; he was experimenting with 10-80mg sublingual doses (the ranges in the original anti-depressive trials) and reported a laundry list of effects (as does Isochroma): primarily that it was anxiolytic and increased work stamina. Unfortunately for my stack, he claims it combines poorly with piracetam. He offered free 2g samples for regulars to test his claims. I asked & received some.
Neuroprime – Mind Nutrition's offering to the nootropic industry. Mind Nutrition is one of the most interesting nootropics we've found on the industry. It brings a formula that is their solution for the market, as a fundamental combination of vitamins and nootropics, or at least they call it. Neuroprime brings that to the table, as well as the fact that Neuroprime is also one of the most transparent companies that we've seen. Their online site is detailed, yet clean, without making any outrageous claims or statements. However, we here at Top10BrainPills.com… Learn More...
Table 3 lists the results of 24 tasks from 22 articles on the effects of d-AMP or MPH on learning, assessed by a variety of declarative and nondeclarative memory tasks. Results for the 24 tasks are evenly split between enhanced learning and null results, but they yield a clearer pattern when the nature of the learning task and the retention interval are taken into account. In general, with single exposures of verbal material, no benefits are seen immediately following learning, but later recall and recognition are enhanced. Of the six articles reporting on memory performance (Camp-Bruno & Herting, 1994; Fleming, Bigelow, Weinberger, & Goldberg, 1995; Rapoport, Busbaum, & Weingartner, 1980; Soetens, D'Hooge, & Hueting, 1993; Unrug, Coenen, & van Luijtelaar, 1997; Zeeuws & Soetens 2007), encompassing eight separate experiments, only one of the experiments yielded significant memory enhancement at short delays (Rapoport et al., 1980). In contrast, retention was reliably enhanced by d-AMP when subjects were tested after longer delays, with recall improved after 1 hr through 1 week (Soetens, Casaer, D'Hooge, & Hueting, 1995; Soetens et al., 1993; Zeeuws & Soetens, 2007). Recognition improved after 1 week in one study (Soetens et al., 1995), while another found recognition improved after 2 hr (Mintzer & Griffiths, 2007). The one long-term memory study to examine the effects of MPH found a borderline-significant reduction in errors when subjects answered questions about a story (accompanied by slides) presented 1 week before (Brignell, Rosenthal, & Curran, 2007).
Given the size of the literature just reviewed, it is surprising that so many basic questions remain open. Although d-AMP and MPH appear to enhance retention of recently learned information and, in at least some individuals, also enhance working memory and cognitive control, there remains great uncertainty regarding the size and robustness of these effects and their dependence on dosage, individual differences, and specifics of the task.
Among the questions to be addressed in the present article are, How widespread is the use of prescription stimulants for cognitive enhancement? Who uses them, for what specific purposes? Given that nonmedical use of these substances is illegal, how are they obtained? Furthermore, do these substances actually enhance cognition? If so, what aspects of cognition do they enhance? Is everyone able to be enhanced, or are some groups of healthy individuals helped by these drugs and others not? The goal of this article is to address these questions by reviewing and synthesizing findings from the existing scientific literature. We begin with a brief overview of the psychopharmacology of the two most commonly used prescription stimulants.
The price is not as good as multivitamins or melatonin. The studies showing effects generally use pretty high dosages, 1-4g daily. I took 4 capsules a day for roughly 4g of omega acids. The jar of 400 is 100 days' worth, and costs ~$17, or around 17¢ a day. The general health benefits push me over the edge of favoring its indefinite use, but looking to economize. Usually, small amounts of packaged substances are more expensive than bulk unprocessed, so I looked at fish oil fluid products; and unsurprisingly, liquid is more cost-effective than pills (but like with the powders, straight fish oil isn't very appetizing) in lieu of membership somewhere or some other price-break. I bought 4 bottles (16 fluid ounces each) for $53.31 total (thanks to coupons & sales), and each bottle lasts around a month and a half for perhaps half a year, or ~$100 for a year's supply. (As it turned out, the 4 bottles lasted from 4 December 2010 to 17 June 2011, or 195 days.) My next batch lasted 19 August 2011-20 February 2012, and cost $58.27. Since I needed to buy empty 00 capsules (for my lithium experiment) and a book (Stanovich 2010, for SIAI work) from Amazon, I bought 4 more bottles of 16fl oz Nature's Answer (lemon-lime) at $48.44, which I began using 27 February 2012. So call it ~$70 a year.
Let's start with the basics of what smart drugs are and what they aren't. The field of cosmetic psychopharmacology is still in its infancy, but the use of smart drugs is primed to explode during our lifetimes, as researchers gain increasing understanding of which substances affect the brain and how they do so. For many people, the movie Limitless was a first glimpse into the possibility of "a pill that can make you smarter," and while that fiction is a long way from reality, the possibilities - in fact, present-day certainties visible in the daily news - are nevertheless extremely exciting.
These pills don't work. The reality is that MOST of these products don't work effectively. Maybe we're cynical, but if you simply review the published studies on memory pills, you can quickly eliminate many of the products that don't have "the right stuff." The active ingredients in brain and memory health pills are expensive and most companies sell a watered down version that is not effective for memory and focus. The more brands we reviewed, the more we realized that many of these marketers are slapping slick labels on low-grade ingredients.
Federal law classifies most nootropics as dietary supplements, which means that the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate manufacturers' statements about their benefits (as the giant "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease" disclaimer on the label indicates). And the types of claims that the feds do allow supplement companies to make are often vague and/or supported by less-than-compelling scientific evidence. "If you find a study that says that an ingredient caused neurons to fire on rat brain cells in a petri dish," says Pieter Cohen, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, "you can probably get away with saying that it 'enhances memory' or 'promotes brain health.'"
Most epidemiological research on nonmedical stimulant use has been focused on issues relevant to traditional problems of drug abuse and addiction, and so, stimulant use for cognitive enhancement is not generally distinguished from use for other purposes, such as staying awake or getting high. As Boyd and McCabe (2008) pointed out, the large national surveys of nonmedical prescription drug use have so far failed to distinguish the ways and reasons that people use the drugs, and this is certainly true where prescription stimulants are concerned. The largest survey to investigate prescription stimulant use in a nationally representative sample of Americans, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), phrases the question about nonmedical use as follows: "Have you ever, even once, used any of these stimulants when they were not prescribed for you or that you took only for the experience or feeling they caused?" (Snodgrass & LeBaron 2007). This phrasing does not strictly exclude use for cognitive enhancement, but it emphasizes the noncognitive effects of the drugs. In 2008, the NSDUH found a prevalence of 8.5% for lifetime nonmedical stimulant use by Americans over the age of 12 years and a prevalence of 12.3% for Americans between 21 and 25 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2009).
Some cognitive enhancers, such as donepezil and galantamine, are prescribed for elderly patients with impaired reasoning and memory deficits caused by various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease with dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and vascular dementia. Children and young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are often treated with the cognitive enhancers Ritalin (methylphenidate) or Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts). Persons diagnosed with narcolepsy find relief from sudden attacks of sleep through wake-promoting agents such as Provigil (modafinil). Generally speaking, cognitive enhancers improve working and episodic (event-specific) memory, attention, vigilance, and overall wakefulness but act through different brain systems and neurotransmitters to exert their enhancing effects.
There are seven primary classes used to categorize smart drugs: Racetams, Stimulants, Adaptogens, Cholinergics, Serotonergics, Dopaminergics, and Metabolic Function Smart Drugs. Despite considerable overlap and no clear border in the brain and body's responses to these substances, each class manifests its effects through a different chemical pathway within the body.
The idea of a digital pill that records when it has been consumed is a sound one, but as the FDA notes, there is no evidence to say it actually increases the likelihood patients that have a history of inconsistent consumption will follow their prescribed course of treatment. There is also a very strange irony in schizophrenia being the first condition this technology is being used to target.
Serotonin, or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HTP), is another primary neurotransmitter and controls major features of the mental landscape including mood, sleep and appetite. Serotonin is produced within the body by exposure, which is one reason that the folk-remedy of "getting some sun" to fight depression is scientifically credible. Many foods contain natural serotonergic (serotonin-promoting or releasing) compounds, including the well-known chemical L-Tryptophan found in turkey, which can promote sleep after big Thanksgiving dinners.
The use of prescription stimulants is especially prevalent among students.[9] Surveys suggest that 0.7–4.5% of German students have used cognitive enhancers in their lifetimes.[10][11][12] Stimulants such as dimethylamylamine and methylphenidate are used on college campuses and by younger groups.[13] Based upon studies of self-reported illicit stimulant use, 5–35% of college students use diverted ADHD stimulants, which are primarily used for enhancement of academic performance rather than as recreational drugs.[14][15][16] Several factors positively and negatively influence an individual's willingness to use a drug for the purpose of enhancing cognitive performance. Among them are personal characteristics, drug characteristics, and characteristics of the social context.[10][11][17][18]

Tartans for Oor Wullie and The Broons
One of Scotland's best Highland Dress specialists is The House of Edgar, which is part of Perth-based Macnaughton Holdings, a group that traces its roots back to 1783. Some of the more recent additions to its tartan patterns book are the checks registered to Oor Wullie and The Broons, characters from long-running strip cartoons in The Sunday Post. That legendary Scottish paper is published by Dundee-based D C Thomson, which gave me my start in journalism way back in 1977-78 on its "family newspaper" The Weekly News.

There are reasons a strange diet like this has stuck around since the 1920's. A diet like keto that is low in sugar lowers blood glucose and insulin levels has several positive effects on the body, especially in overweight or obese people. The ketogenic diet gives your body the chance to re-adjust its glucose and insulin levels. In addition, there are health benefits that will enhance daily life, as well as help treat disease. Check out these benefits of the ketogenic diet:
*Weight loss results will always vary for individuals, depending on the individual's physical condition, lifestyle, and diet.

In a standard American diet, the diet is composed of a lot of carbohydrates - enough to keep the body using glucose as its main energy source. This is fine, but requires frequent eating (every few hours) to keep energy levels up and during this time your body stores extra glucose as fat.[1] This state prevents the body from burning its fat stores as energy because it is constantly using glucose.
Experts are split on whether the keto diet is a good idea. On the one hand, Lori Chang, registered dietitian and a supervisor at the Center for Healthy Living at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles, says using a œcleaner source of energy"ketones rather than quick-burning carbohydrates"can improve mood and energy levels. When you eat refined carbohydrates or just too many carbs in general, the blood is flooded with excess insulin, Chang says. "This can lead to a blood sugar rollercoaster that stresses the body and negatively impacts energy levels and mood. When you're in a state of ketosis, however, ketone bodies don't require insulin to cross the blood-brain barrier, which wards off unfavorable blood sugar levels."
Some people like to start a ketogenic diet, or restart one, with a more restrictive plan. These aren't for everyone, since most people adjust better to slow, gradual changes. If you're the kind of person who likes to change everything all at once, you can try one of these short term hacks to get you kick-started in keto, and maybe even help you lose those first couple of pounds, or the last couple that just won't seem to budge.
All of us are looking for the fastest and easiest way to achieve the body of our dreams.

For a more comprehensive list, you can also read our in-depth article here >
And good news for coffee addicts: you can still have your morning cup of joe. You'll just need to adjust what you stir into it. Switch out flavored creamer for the real deal"full-fat heavy whipping cream, which has only 1 gram of carbs per tablespoon. If you want to give your java a jolt of sweet, stir in a low-carb sweetener that uses sugar alcohols. But if you can skip the sweet, even better. In time, you'll retrain your palate to not crave a sugary start to the day.

The first tip to get back to losing weight is to boost the amount of calories you are consuming. Say you're eating 1200 calories per day. Overtime, your body down-regulates so it just needs about 1000 calories per day to maintain basal function. Therefore, the amount of calories that used to help you lose weight is now only helping you maintain your current weight. So, by boosting your calories, you are actually boosting your metabolism and you may even notice some weight loss in the days after your caloric increase.
After increasing water intake and replacing electrolytes, it should relieve most all symptoms of Keto Flu. For an average person that is starting a ketogenic diet, eating 20-30g of net carbs a day, the entire adaptation process will take about 4-5 days. My advice is to cut your carbs to fewer than 15g to ensure that you are well on your way into ketosis within one week. If you are experiencing any more keto flu symptoms, double check your electrolyte intake and adjust.
This is an adaptation period, where we're essentially re-training our muscles and our brain to use fat as the primary fuel source instead of glucose. This adaptation can take a couple of weeks to a couple of months. As a hallmark of being keto-adapted and not just in ketosis, the skeletal muscles are able to burn fat directly for fuel, and the brain relies on the higher volume of ketones in the blood as its main source of energy.
¢ Type 2 Diabetes: This population has been studied heavily with the keto diet since it's technically as low-carb as you can get. While the research to date has been conducted in very small sample sizes, evidence suggests that an ultra-low-carb diet (like the keto diet) may help reduce A1C and improve insulin sensitivity by as much as 75 percent. In fact, a 2017 review found that a keto diet was associated with better glucose control and a reduction in medication use. Having said that, the authors cautioned that it was unclear whether the results were due to weight loss in general, or higher ketone levels.
There are variations of the ketogenic diet that are implemented for a variety of reasons. One of the top reasons these variations are used are for athletes who are not getting the necessary energy required for their intense workouts. There are also those who enjoy the benefits of ketosis, but they just do not feel the same without a carb refeed day every now and then.
3) Now that you have the information you need about your body's present condition and info on ketosis, head over to this Keto Calculator Tutorial, and figure out how many grams of Carbohydrates, Fat, and Protein you need each day to lose weight. These numbers are critical so don't forget to write them down. I keep a piece of paper pinned to my wall so I can easily see them when planning meals.
¢ Keto "Flu": Your body isn't accustomed to using ketones on the regular, so when you make the switch, you tend to feel unwell. The keto diet also influences electrolyte balance, resulting in brain fog, headaches, nausea and fatigue. Keto dieters also consistently complain about getting bad-smelling breath, sweat and pee as a result of the by-product of fat metabolism (acetone) seeping out. Thankfully, this effect is just temporary, so just know you won't have to spend your life smelling rank.

You're transitioning. Your body is equipped to process a high intake of carbs and a lower intake of fat. Your body needs to create enzymes to be able to do this. In the transitional period, the brain may run low on energy which can lead to grogginess, nausea, and headaches. If you're having a large problem with this, you can choose to reduce carb intake gradually.
Oh man, this is a great read. Entertaining and full or resources and digestible content even though it is a long article. But I appreciate the research you went through it. I remember 5 years ago researching about Keto diet took forever because of how spread out the sources were. This is great work as a guide. Thanks for the article. Before reading this article I thought the requirements were too strict, but now that I read it, I am already doing a third of that list. I am trying IF right now, but I think this will help me with my satiety problem with meals, plus help me with weight loss. Thanks for the motivation and information Steve. I am starting my plan of attack and try a Keto diet.

Silva Timber's Siberian Larch bevel cladding has proven to be the ideal material to construct the Maggie's cancer support centre in the Robert Parfett building in Manchester.
Each of Maggie's unique buildings has been designed to create a relaxing, homely space encouraging a feeling of togetherness among its visitors and Siberian Larch was chosen to achieve exactly this.
The presence of natural materials helps Maggie's achieve their goal of providing a non-clinical space where people can get practical, emotional and social support.
Siberian Larch is a very dense softwood ideal for cladding, particularly if you plan on applying a coloured finish as the natural colour tones are more consistent than the likes of Western Red Cedar.
As Maggie's wanted to create a clean, fresh and light look to encourage people to drop in, they chose to finish the cladding in Sansin SDF Pickled White.
To finish the timber to the highest standard and provide the best protection against the elements, the cladding was factory coated at Silva Timber so it was ready to install straight after delivery.
The light colour palette of the building perfectly contrasts against the rich colours in the gardens that surround the whole building, creating a fantastic view from any point in the building.

I'm so grateful about this experience, about their trust in me and the amazing and beautiful time we spent together :) the kids are great, they are smart and full of fun and creativity, energetic and sweet! They were always willing to learn :) Also I was, and I learned a lot from them. The family made me feel welcomed from the first day. Ayse was a friend to me, and the main door for understanding the culture (and the delicious food).They give you a lot of free time, good for seeing the city. Izmir is clean, organized and friendly. It was a great experience. They touched my heart. ❤
