Exercise to feel better and have fun
Exercise and physical activity are great ways to feel better, boost your health and have fun. For most healthy adults, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines:

Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity. Or get at least 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week. You also can get an equal combination of moderate and vigorous activity. Aim to spread out this exercise over a few days or more in a week.

For even more health benefits, the guidelines suggest getting 300 minutes a week or more of moderate aerobic activity. Exercising this much may help with weight loss or keeping off lost weight. But even small amounts of physical activity can be helpful. Being active for short periods of time during the day can add up and have health benefits.

Strength training. Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. One set of each exercise is enough for health and fitness benefits. Use a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions.
Moderate aerobic exercise includes activities such as brisk walking, biking, swimming and mowing the lawn.

Vigorous aerobic exercise includes activities such as running, swimming laps, heavy yardwork and aerobic dancing.

You can do strength training by using weight machines or free weights, your own body weight, heavy bags, or resistance bands. You also can use resistance paddles in the water or do activities such as rock climbing.

If you want to lose weight, keep off lost weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more.

Remember to check with a health care professional before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any concerns about your fitness or haven't exercised for a long time. Also check with a health care professional if you have chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes or arthritis.

Exercise controls weight
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.

Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.

2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which lowers your risk of heart and blood vessel, called cardiovascular, diseases.

Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, including:

Stroke.
Metabolic syndrome.
High blood pressure.
Type 2 diabetes.
Depression.
Anxiety.
Many types of cancer.
Arthritis.
Falls.
It also can help improve cognitive function and helps lower the risk of death from all causes.

Mental Health Benefits
Reduces Stress & Depression: Helps manage stressful situations better and lowers the risk of depression.
Increases Resilience: Enables you to bounce back from setbacks and view challenges as opportunities.
Boosts Creativity & Problem-Solving: Opens the mind to new ideas and solutions.
Improves Focus & Productivity: Creates a calmer, more efficient mindset for decision-making and task completion.
Physical Health Benefits
Stronger Immune System: Builds greater resistance to illnesses like the common cold.
Better Cardiovascular Health: Lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular disease.
Increased Lifespan: Optimistic people tend to live longer.
Lifestyle & Relationships
Stronger Relationships: Fosters empathy, better communication, and deeper connections.
Greater Motivation: Drives ambition and persistence towards goals.
Improved Well-being: Leads to greater overall happiness and life satisfaction.
How it Works
Positive thinking isn't about ignoring problems, but about approaching them with a hopeful and constructive attitude, focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on negatives. It activates brain chemicals like serotonin, promoting calm and focus, while reducing stress hormones, ultimately making you more adaptable and capable.

Organizational Supports ( Public group )
Many students with ADHD have significant difficulties with organization.

They are more likely to respond positively when teachers establish class routines and set procedures and maintain a well-organized learning environment.

Clear rules and advanced planning are keys to success for teachers of students with ADHD.


The following organizational supports are particularly useful. Students should be taught to use these tools through teacher modeling and guided practice with feedback before being expected to use them more independently.

Assignment Notebook: Provide the student with an assignment notebook to help
organize homework and seatwork.

Color-Coded Folders: Provide the student with color-coded folders to help
organize assignments for different academic subjects.


Homework Partners: Assign the student a partner who can help record
homework and other seatwork in the proper folders and assignment book.
Clean Out Dates: Periodically ask the student to sort through and clean out his or
her desk, book bag, and other special places where written assignments are stored.

API testing is a procedure developers use to evaluate APIs' functionality, efficacy, and security. Before releasing their software, the results of API testing will inform developers if problem fixes and patches are required. They accomplish this through a simulation that entails sending queries that would reach the API when it is accessible to its users, regardless of whether it is authentic. They observe the API to determine how it will react to this volume of queries. If the results are positive, integrating the API is secure. If not, they will be required to fix it.

Choosing one of the best API testing tools is crucial to ensure your tests are successful and efficient. These tools are key for examining variables like scalability, convenience of use, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with your existing systems. It’s also important to evaluate the available resources for development and maintenance. Based on these criteria, you may select a tool that best suits your requirements and allows you to write thorough API tests.

Studies found that students with ADHD, compared to students without ADHD, had persistent academic difficulties that resulted in the following: lower average marks, more failed grades, more expulsions, increased dropout rates, and a lower rate of college undergraduate completion (Weiss & Hechtman as cited in Johnston, 2002; Ingersoll, 1988).

Programming languages are the foundation of software development. They are used to write instructions that computers can understand and execute. Programming languages are important because they allow developers to create software that can solve complex problems, automate tasks, and improve efficiency. Different programming languages are suited for different types of app development—and these languages are just the useful tools used to envision and build their ideas.

PRIMER: What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? - ADDED
Classroom Interventions for Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder Considerations Packet

Primer text from The College of William & Mary

ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed conditions of children (Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 2015)

In order to adequately address the system of care issues, there needs to be effective treatments and we do not yet have an adequate arsenal to effectively treat children and adolescents with ADHD. The development and evaluation of new treatments is most effective when guided by theory and evidence of mechanisms of change. A variable can be considered a mechanism of change that explains why a treatment works, if the variable is malleable and causally related to the impairment being treated (Carper, Makover, & Kendall, 2018; Kazdin, 2007). As we consider the variety of treatments that have been evaluated for ADHD and the development of new treatments, it is critical that future research explicitly focus on identifying mechanisms of change that account for treatment effects and aligning intervention approaches to impact the identified mechanism.
