An inability to focus, impulsiveness, misbehavior, frequent daydreaming, and a predisposal to addiction are frequently referenced traits of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). But what about the gifts of ADHD?

In the age of dietary fads and misinformation, it’s difficult to find an answer when it comes to the best way of going about dieting—which philosophy to abide by, how long to adhere to, and what to do when they’re no longer effective. This is quite normal and happens to all of us. However, there is a solution to this problem.There is a way of staying in a “perma-diet” without ever having to leave it or fail. Circumstances in life should never have to be dependent nor revolved around a diet; that will only last so long. On the contrary, the diet should be malleable enough to be individually revolved around the circumstance.The question then comes, “How can any one particular diet be that flexible where it can adapt around any uncontrollable happening life may throw our way?” The truth is, it cannot—one diet is not flexible enough. This is why the Foundational Strength Weight Management System is different and separates itself from the rest.By having multiple outlets available for any given scenario—or any permanent rules to strictly observe—we can never fail. Instead, we develop a standard in our dietary life that leaves lasting and effortless results instead of “falling off the wagon” with nowhere else to go.What is a “standard” you ask? Well, it’s simply a minimum level we never let ourselves go past. Some good examples of standards most of us keep every day include brushing our teeth, taking a shower, feeding our pets; or even universally moral ones such as showing respect to others and being nice.In this refined, second version of the Weight Management System, the standard is the first of twelve phases and is easily met. Moreover, the author has systematically categorized these twelve different phases of the most effective diets known to from low-carb, Keto, intermittent fasting, and more; and also delivers them in three progressive, stepping-stoned tiers.The beautifully designed charts take all the guesswork out of which diet to follow for how long, leaving it up to the reader to design if they choose. However, there are also multiple periodized, pre-programmed charts to follow based off the general necessities found in a variety of weight-management settings.Having twelve options of dietary variability is more than enough for the average person and well worth the small price for the wealth of knowledge this program contains. Afford yourself the luxury of never having to worry about another diet again by equipping this to your eating arsenal for when the time arises—it will not let you down, nor allow you to fail.

When it comes to resistance training, it’s important to know what you’re doing. Why? Because if it is not methodically planned out it could result in either in injury, burnout, or boredom.It’s not an easy thing to organize and periodize our weight-lifting regimen. In fact, I would say most just do the typical bodybuilding routine of 6-12 reps at 3 sets. Nothing wrong with that for a while, but therein lies the what to do when that regimen gets old.Where will you go now when you stop getting that “pump”? Where will you go when you stop getting progress, results, or even sore after your workouts? Well, I’ll tell what needs to happen—you have to have alternate methods of performing typically the same type of lifts. I mean, how many variations of a curl or squat can you come up with? Sure, there’s a few different ways, but even those will eventually get old. But there is a better way. Let me show you.By not only having alternate outlets of performing our favorite types of weight training but also periodizing them—or systematically programming—we solve all of the aforementioned problems. “But,” you ask, ”what outlets are we talking about? And how do I periodize them? Who has time for that?” You’re right; nobody has time for that, even the professional athletic trainers and coaches. I understand this problem. Don’t worry, I have it covered…In the Resistance Training Management System, there are twelve (yes twelve!) different phases in three categories to choose from to perform your favorite lift. Literally—twelve different ways to exercise a body part by alternating the reps, sets, tempo, and rest, making you your own personal trainer.And if you do happen to be a personal trainer by profession, guess what? You don’t have to fill out one of those time-sapping workout planners or write on a dry-erase board ever again. I know, finally, right?To couple the twelve phases of adaptation, there are accompanying pre-programmed formulas to follow for multiple gym settings or home-based scenarios for multiple types of individuals in any stage of their weight lifting walk of life. All the guesswork has been taken out of your hands and you don’t need to worry about how to program your workouts any more.That is why this and the other Foundational Strength programs were to make life simpler and more time-efficient; to do what we came here to do. In this case, it’s lifting weights, not having to program our own workouts.This system does that for you and you will not be disappointed. I use it myself and have meticulously created these phases and periodization formulas over many years to meet the needs of the general gym-going and home-based fitness populations. I hope you enjoy it as you utilize it in your own life. Thank you.—Kevin Roberts

Meditation can generally be a confusing how to do it, how long for, and what type? These are legitimate questions that can certainly be addressed, and should be; because most individuals, understandably, really do not know where to start. I can relate and have felt that confusion myself. Compounded with those problems, there then comes the question, “How can I turn this into a life-long sustainable practice without becoming burnt out from it? How can I keep this thing going? How can I keep this exciting?”Well, I have good news for you. There are solutions to all those questions, so we don’t need to keep worrying about what to do, for how long, and so forth. As with all the Foundational Strength programs, periodization is at the heart of all these important issues. Let me explain…By periodizing how we meditate—just like how we exercise—we put boredom and redundancy on the back burner by consistently keeping our minds and egos guessing. Instead of becoming a chore, it becomes something we can look forward to. In other words, periodization “keeps things mixed up.”Now that we know how to keep things rolling long term, the next question that usually arises is, “What kind of meditation should I do?” The answer is not always that simple because there are many types with their own unique characteristics and benefits. That being said, I do have a clear-cut favorite.One of the most effective and widely used forms of this ancient mind medicine is using an active (as opposed to passive) inhalation/exhalation ratio. For breathe in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, and breathe out for four seconds. Simple, right?I mean, we could “hmmm” all day or stare at a mandala on the wall, but good luck keeping the mind from drifting off into la-la land. Transcendental meditation and the like have their place, don’t get me wrong, but not all of us are Buddha-Jesus masters of controlling the thoughts of the mind; not all of us are in a peaceful and quiet environment to attain such a mental state that these practices demand.By controlling the breath using simple and short counts, the active breathing form of meditation keeps us focused to prevent the mind from wandering in any environ—and at the same time directly engaging the autonomic nervous system into a state of self-hypnotic bliss while not even trying; all we have to do is count the breaths in our mind. I liken it to performing pre-planned reps while lifting weights or using on/off ratios during a cardio session.This particular kind of meditation coupled with the signature Foundational Strength FS12™ periodization charts puts the Meditation Management System in a class of its own. There are not only 31-day charts to guide you but also 12-month annual programming available in both linear and undulating patterns with twelve different breathing ratios.That’s right! Twelve different ways to meditate using active breathing techniques—all organized and categorized dependent on the time of day the individual chooses. There are also blank templates for self-customization for those who want to program their own charts.Having a go-to guide for our minds helps us live less stressed, more organized, and, most importantly—makes our lives more time efficient so we can be our best. This program does just that and more. I know because I use it and created it to help others, as it helps me. Thank you, and please enjoy. –Kevin Roberts

What If I told you there was a way to plan, organize, and never have to worry about designing a workout regimen ever again, while preventing under and overtraining at the same time? Well, there finally is…The days of time consuming exercise programming and monotonous workouts are over—not only for the self-exercising disciplinarians, but also for professional trainers and their clients. The FS12™ Fitness Management System has it all covered in one easy to understand, periodized masterpiece that prevents the inevitable mental and physical burnout from occurring by doing all one can do for so long, regardless of willpower. In this beautifully arrayed program, the author/creator systematically orchestrates the three major categories of fitness found in most home and gym cardiovascular, resistance, and calisthenics training. The color-coded format is not only pleasing to the eyes, but also makes this remarkably complex sequence of charts and formulas easy to understand; yet flexible enough for anyone to incorporate individual preferences if chosen to do so. Why keep chasing old-school gym philosophies and running miles every day indefinitely until life’s allotment of energy, and our precious joints are spent away chasing those illustrious (and well deserved) adaptation stimuli? It is time to give way to the conceptualization of periodized planning in our schedules; a time for the mastering of the adaptation responses; and a time for having more availability for all we were meant to be in our lives and for those around us—apart, even from fitness.

The True Story of Hamlet and Horatio----Helsingor revisits the story of Hamlet through the persona of Horatio. The novel wittily fills in gaps left by the original play, focusing on the often humorous character of Horatio. He is dragged from his humble beginnings and his brawdy student days with Hamlet in Wittenburg, into the tangled centre of politics at Elsinore. We witness a myopic Horatio, a would-be actor, bumble his way through the dramatic events, through the dark intrigues of the Court, and the bitter struggle between Protestants and Catholics. We read in a tragic-comic manner how Horatio handles all the dramatic events and survives the tragic death of Hamlet and the assumption of the throne by Fortinbras.

After a failed engagement and an unsuccessful academic career, Tommy O’Keefe decides that he must take control of his life- by ending it. Tommy decides to spend his final week on Earth with his estranged family before saying his final farewell.
