Seasoned political campaigner predicts the winner of the final seat in Limerick CityThe support comes after Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CCRD) against Baldoni and others on Friday (December 20) alleging sexual harassment and a social media “retaliatory campaign” during and after the production of Sony’s summer hit . Baldoni’s lawyer has called the allegations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.” Lively and Baldoni star in the romantic drama, which deals in part with domestic violence. Baldoni also directed the film, and Lively was also one of the producers. In a statement to NBC News on Monday (December 23), Heard, who in 2022 was in the spotlight during her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp (once a client of one of the PR companies named in Lively’s complaint), said: “Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.’ I saw this first hand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.” On X, Feig, who directed Lively in , said: “All I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with.” On Instagram Stories, Amy Schumer posted “I believe Blake” and Gwyneth Paltrow put Lively’s hair care line on her Christmas wish list. Colleen Hoover, author of the novel on which is based, posted to Lively on Instagram: “You have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met. Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.” A statement on Monday from a Sony Pictures Entertainment spokesperson said: “We have previously expressed our support for Blake in connection with her work on and for the film. We fully and firmly reiterate that support today. Further, we strongly condemn any reputational attacks on her. Any such attacks have no place in our business or in a civil society.” Over the weekend, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel, Lively’s co-stars in , posted a statement on Instagram: “As Blake’s friends and sisters for over twenty years,” said the statement, “we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation.” The statements on the case came as the New York Times published a long story over the weekend about the dispute. The piece said documents including email exchanges between Baldoni and PR representatives hired around the release of “show an additional playbook for waging a largely undetectable smear campaign in the digital era.” The piece quoted a statement from Lively saying, “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted.” Also at the weekend, Baldoni was dropped as a client by talent agency WME, which continues to represent Lively. As well as Baldoni, Lively’s CCRD complaint names production company Wayfarer Studios, producer Jamey Heath, Steve Sarowitz, crisis manager Melissa Nathan, The Agency Group PR, Jennifer Abel, RWA Communications, Jed Wallace and Street Relations Inc. The complaint details an agreement that Lively’s representatives negotiated laying out terms under which the actress would return to work on after the resolution of the 2023 SAG/AFTRA strike. The complaint states that Lively, “never sought out conflict with Wayfarer, Ms Baldoni, or Mr Heath, but instead consistently attempted to speak up for a safe and respectful workplace privately in the hopes of protecting herself, as well as the cast and crew, without jeopardizing a Film that she believed could make a difference in peoples’ lives. In response, Mr Baldoni, Mr Heath, and those working for them, sought to destroy Ms Lively and anyone else who knew the truth. Ms Lively’s discovery of the full extent of the retaliatory campaign launched by the Wayfarer Parties has left her with no choice.” Baldoni’s lawyer responded to the complaint with a statement saying, in part: “These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.” Jennifer Abel, one of the publicists named in the complaint, reportedly posted in a private Facebook group at the weekend after the publication of the New York Times story. According to trade press reports and an X posting by @LeaveHeardAlone, part of the Abel statement read: “What the cherry-picked messages don’t include, although not shockingly as it doesn’t fit the narrative, is that there was no “smear” implemented. No negative press was ever facilitated, no social combat plan, although we were prepared for it as it’s our job to be ready for any scenario, but we didn’t have to implement anything because the internet was doing the work for us.” On Monday, Vital Voices, a Washington DC human rights non-profit, rescinded the Voices of Solidarity Award it gave Baldoni earlier this month. The award honours “men who have shown courage and compassion in advocating on behalf of women and girls.” The group said that communications between Baldoni and his publicists revealed in Lively’s complaint “are, alone, contrary to the values of Vital Voices and the spirit of the award.”

The View ’s Alyssa Farah Griffin is ready to open up about her journey to motherhood. “I’m going through IVF right now,” Farah Griffin, 35, shared on the Monday, December 2, episode of “ The View: Behind the Table ” podcast. “My husband [ Justin Griffin ] and I have been hoping, trying to get pregnant for about a year and a half, and it wasn’t happening naturally so we made the decision to move forward with IVF. This is now my second cycle.” The View cohost said she would be missing from the “Hot Topics” table on Tuesday, December 3, because of a doctor’s appointment. While she has yet to discuss her IVF journey on the show, Farah Griffin explained why she wanted to share more on The View ’s official podcast. “I had no idea at my age how hard this actually would be,” she told host Brian Teta . “I’m only 35 and to me, I was like, ‘I’ve got plenty of time. This won’t be that difficult. I’m healthy. I work out. I eat right.’ My body was just not cooperating.” Farah Griffin — who is also a CNN political commentator — recalled doing IVF injections on Election Night in November in between on-air appearances. While the first cycle was relatively smooth, the second one has been a different experience. “I’ve been a wreck,” she said. “I’ve not felt myself. I’ve been tired. I’ve been emotional, you feel uncomfortable in your body. I just wanted to mention it because, from someone who is surprised by how hard it was, it’s because all the stories of this that we hear are usually women on the other side, like, ‘Here’s my baby and, oh, real quick, it was kind of hard to get here.’” By being open about her journey to motherhood, Farrah Griffin hopes to give other women reassurance that they are not alone. “I wanted to share with women struggling that there is hope and you just have to be present in the process,” Farah Griffin continued. “There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I just don’t know when it will be for us.” While the daytime talk show star promises not to “overshare” during her journey, she wanted people to know what she’s currently going through.

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna admitted his side's 1-0 home loss to Crystal Palace was 'a frustrating night'. Following a scrappy, stop-start first period in which chances were at a premium, Town started to find some rhythm after the restart. Jean-Philippe Mateta's cool finish gave the visitors the lead though and, just like in last weekend's 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest, the Blues failed to muster much of a response. "It was a frustrating night," said McKenna, whose side remain in the relegation zone without a home win to their name. "There were probably too many similarities to Saturday for our liking. It's a really tight first half, not fantastic in terms of flow, lots of stoppages and we didn't manage to create the game that we wanted or the chances that we wanted. Having said that, neither did the opponent. We were solid, there was very little in the game and very few opportunities at either end. "We knew at half-time we just needed to get more intensity in the game one way or another. We needed to be more aggressive, more positive and play forward quicker, even if it wasn't perfect, just to create some atmosphere in the stadium. We did that, to be fair. "Second half we came out much better. I think we were in the ascendancy, we felt like we could really push on in the game, we got ourselves to a pretty good position with some momentum, then we concede a really poor goal. In a tight game like today that ends up decisive. "When the first goal goes in then the whole dynamic changes. We tried at the end to break them down, but they were defending and counter-attacking well. We weren't able to find the solution." Town skipper Sam Morsy reacts at the final whistle (Image: Steve Waller) The Blues boss continued: "They're not an easy team to create clear chances against. Newcastle have a top, top forward line and they didn't have a shot against them on Saturday. With the back five they have in place now they're going to be hard to break down. Guehi, Lacroix, Chalobah - that's a really physical, dominant one-v-one back line. When they match you up, as they did, and go man-for-man it's not easy to create chances against them. I think lots of teams will find that difficult. "We couldn't get superiority in any individual duels. We got into some good areas, but we weren't able to produce the quality that we needed to create a clear chance. Both teams probably cancelled each other out a little bit in terms of the systems." With Bournemouth coming to Portman Road on Sunday, McKenna added: "Today was different to most of our home games. In most of our home games we've managed to create intensity, atmosphere, chances, pressure and make it more like the game we want. We certainly didn't today. "I don't think it's a trend. I think you have to give Palace some credit. We're up against a lot of Premier League quality, experience and physicality. It's a big challenge."Ideas for reducing electric vehicle charging costs

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) do not have a behavioural disorder, nor are they lazy, or lacking in manners and boundaries. Their brains mature in a different way, with different patterns of neurological activity and a number of neurochemical differences. For this reason, ADHD is considered to be a neurodevelopmental disorder . These neurological imbalances manifest as attention difficulties, disorganisation, or hyperactivity and impulsivity. While these are most noticeable in childhood, where prevalence is estimated at 5%, ADHD can persist into adulthood, where prevalence is 2.5% of the population. ADHD can therefore have social, academic and occupational impacts throughout a person's life. Although there are risk factors (such as mothers smoking during pregnancy or low birth weight), these have not been shown to directly cause ADHD. Genetic factors play a more significant role, as 74% of cases are hereditary. Diagnosing beyond behaviour Currently, ADHD diagnoses are mostly made through cognitive and behavioural observations. These tests determine whether a child is having difficulties in relation to what is expected for their age. However, this can be complemented – or perhaps even replaced in the future – by computational neuroscience. Thanks to research in this discipline, tools are emerging that no longer rely on behavioural observation, but instead study patterns of brain activity. By using mathematical algorithms, they provide information on whether an individual's brain activity is similar to that of other people with ADHD. Differences in the brain Our daily functions – such as thinking, feeling, walking, and so on – are enabled by neurons connecting via our synapses, and these connections generate electrical activity. We know that certain brain waves are associated with particular cognitive states. In ADHD, divergent patterns have been found in the P3B and N200 waves , which are related to attention, inhibition and self-control. In ADHD, the P3B wave is usually weaker or delayed, reflecting difficulties in attention and information processing. The N200 wave is involved in detecting errors, controlling impulses, and focusing our attention. In people with ADHD, abnormal functioning of the N200 wave may be related to problems with self-control and attention. Neuroimaging in smaller brain areas Neuroimaging technology provides further evidence of neurodevelopmental differences. Techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) have found certain areas of smaller size or volume to be relevant in ADHD cases. These include: Lower cortex volume has also been found in regions such as the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital cortex . As mentioned above, various studies have also found a lower volume in frontal areas, especially in orbitofrontal areas . These areas are especially important for self-control and inhibition. Chemical and metabolic factors Other techniques, such as positron emission tomography, have detected lower glucose consumption (compared to people without ADHD) in four main areas: the cingulate gyrus (related to emotional regulation); in certain basal ganglia (particularly the caudate nucleus); in the right hippocampus (related to memory); and in the right thalamus (related to sensory processing). Decreased metabolism in the parietal and temporal regions is also related to maintaining attention. In addition, people with ADHD show reduced blood flow to white matter in the frontal areas , which are essential for executive functions such as attention, self-control and decision-making. This could explain the difficulties in concentration and impulse control experienced by ADHD sufferers. Reduced blood supply is also found other areas: the corpus callosum, where it prevents information from passing easily between the two hemispheres; the basal nuclei and the striatum, which are important in regulating of dopamine; and in the occipital, parietal and temporal regions, which may affect visual perception, spatial attention and verbal memory. Lastly, at the chemical level, some studies report a decrease in dopamine in dopaminergic pathways in ADHD. Dopamine, as mentioned above, is fundamental in the brain's reward system, meaning it affects motivation, attention and learning. Ending stigma: ADHD and professional success Neuroscience has provided enough evidence for us to stop seeing children with ADHD as lazy or rude. As demonstrated by the above examples, it is a neurodevelopmental condition. This is fundamental to detecting false positives (cases that are considered ADHD but are not), as it can help in reviewing environmental conditions and providing other possible explanations, as well as helping people with ADHD in an appropriate way. It is essential to provide tools that help sufferers to deal with difficulties and, above all, to make the most of their strengths. All of this should always be done in coordination with schools, families and, if necessary, therapists. It is true that school can be hard for many children with ADHD, but with the right support, many can go on to become successful adults. Celebrities like Will Smith, Jim Carrey and Justin Timberlake, as well as entrepreneurs like Ingvar Kamprad (Ikea) or Richard Branson (Virgin), are examples of this. The real challenge is therefore not ADHD itself, but how society understands and supports it.
