Sort III ambulances use vans, and sort IV ambulances use a lot smaller utility autos the place vans or passenger autos face problem reaching. That is relevant for uncalled emergencies in business venues or industrial complexes, in occasions with giant crowds, and so forth.
Purposeful Varieties
Ambulances are produced in such a manner that they'll fulfill a couple of perform. Some useful classifications of ambulances are famous under:

Ambulances should function in all climate circumstances making certain the utmost security of the sufferers. So sure tools should be current in all ambulances in order that they'll facilitate affected person care. They're:
- Two-way radio that points jobs to ambulances and permits communication between the hospital and the emergency scene.

Brett Quigley moved a little bit closer on Saturday to padding his professional win column. That's significant for the 50-year-old who won his first PGA Tour Champions title earlier this year in just his second start on the senior tour. Quigley had five runner-up finishes in 408 starts on the PGA Tour but never was a champion.
Quigley backed up an opening 64 at Tucson National's Catalina Course with a second-round 68 and now leads by two shots at the Cologuard Classic.
Quigley nearly went bogey-free for a second day. He didn't have a blemish on his card in the first round, but his sole bogey of the second round came at the par-4 11th.
"To back up yesterday's round with a pretty good round today, 5 under," Quigley said. "Hard to keep track of par out here with 73 being par. I think it was 5 under. A little off the back nine, but managed to shoot under par, so certainly happy overall."
Quigley leads Fred Couples by two shots after Couples backed up an opening 68 with 66. Miguel Angel Jimenez and Rod Pampling are tied for third at 11 under.
John Daly dropped seven spots on the leaderboard with his Saturday 71 and now is in a share of 10th at 8 under.
Couples, 60, calls Quigley "the kid." Asked what he thinks of that, Quigley said he was not unhappy to have the nickname.
"Certainly I feel like a newbie again, definitely a neophyte out here. It's against all the guys I grew up playing with and a lot of guys I grew up watching, so it's fun."
Quigley and Couples, along with Jimenez, will be paired together in Sunday's final group.[jwplayer F2y0cMNY-9JtFt04J]

The total-body exercise break up has a fond place in my heart. We're not simply talking about fats loss here. There's even proof that full-physique training can enhance energy gains and muscle development. In a single research, Norwegian researchers had educated powerlifters practice the bench press, squat, and deadlift both three or six instances per week. They reported that growing to 6 instances per week led to a doubling of the energy positive aspects experienced by the powerlifters after 12 weeks of coaching. Additionally they gained about 10% extra muscle mass.
When muscle building is a major goal, cardio could be carried out three-four times per week for 20 to 30 minutes. I do the next workout routines with varied reps and set quantities simply to switch issues up a bit. It has additionally been proven that prime-intensity train results in muscle progress more quickly as opposed to high quantity workouts. Subsequently, if you happen to decrease the amount of weight, you'll sluggish your muscle progress.
Fundamental Details Of 4 Day Workout Routine – The Basics
The four day break up is one exercise model among the hundreds on the market, nonetheless not like many the four day cut up workout regime is nice for the newbie to intermediate health membership-goer, with many alternative varieties and schedules of the 4 day break up in existence (based in your fast and long run targets there may be an entire lot of variance within the 4 day schedule).
The total-body workouts had been so effective that on July 2, 2017, I made each certainly one of my exercises accessible to you without spending a dime via my Prepare With Jim sequence on my social media pages and Thousands of JYM Military members adopted along, doing my full-physique exercises without spending a dime with related hypertrophy and fat-burning results.
Nicely, a part of the rationale has to do with the analysis you learned about earlier on this article: women seem to have the ability to recuperate quicker from their exercises than men, so theoretically they may benefit from increased www.workoutplan.org/4-day-workout-split frequency training applications. And full-physique exercise splits are as high frequency as they arrive. Alternate incline bench press with flat bench press every push day (keep it as 4×5). Preserve the rest of the exercise the same.
This 4 days exercise routine makes use of a spread of reps, together with very high (20) and very low (6). With each set, you increase the weight that accommodates your new rep vary. This weight will see you challenged for the second half of your set, with a final couple of reps being near your restrict of what you are able to do with out sacrificing train type.
Picking Out Sensible Methods For 4 Day Workout Plan
Full-physique exercise splits are a stable option for a lot of girls because they offer an ideal mix of frequency and volume, with ample give attention to the legs and butt. Add weight to every train 4 Day Workout Split as ceaselessly as potential, when it makes sense. I recommend utilizing the same weight for every set of a given exercise, and when you'll be able to perform a snug number of reps on each set, add weight.
It would be impossible for me to list each potential exercise for every physique part. As a substitute, I'll listing what I would call the "No-Nonsense" workouts for every physique half. If none of the above apply to you, you're likely higher off sticking to full-body workouts targeted on practical motion, longevity and overall well being.
three-days divides are too heavy to be utilized to maintain tone or muscle, since they overload the muscle and slightly than firming or elevating endurance, they're going to add energy and size. Larger reps and units are that which increases endurance, due to this fact this train will not considerably enhance endurance, which makes upkeep laborious with this train.
If in case you have clients all in favour of shedding weight, it is also important to remember that power coaching may actually be more practical than cardio in inducing fats loss. A 3-day full-physique workout routine. Check out this ISSA blog submit to find out extra in regards to the differences in training for greater muscular tissues and for stronger muscle tissue.
Several earlier research have found that a three-day-per-week training routine is effective, but the participants in these research had been all nonathletes. The conclusion is that nonathletes benefit most from 4 units per muscle or muscle group at 60 % of one-repetition most (1RM) thrice per week. Some people are more likely to profit from slight variations. But this quantity, intensity, and split tends to offer probably the most gains.

Early morning dew kisses the meadow,
Sun barely making its way over the hill.
Pale blue sky behind the rainbow,
Staring at the beauty – standing still.
Another day breaks as I stand at the edge,
So many choices to make – where to start?
Then I remember when I made my pledge,
To say no to fear and follow my heart.

Recently, the Pentagon has concluded that computer sabotage coming from another country can constitute an act of war. The pentagon's first formal cyber strategy, unclassified portions of which became public in June of 2011, represents an early attempt to grapple with a changing world in which a hacker could pose a significant threat to U.S nuclear reactors, subways or pipelines from a hostile country's military. Recent cyber-attacks on the Pentagon's systems by another foreign country have given new urgency to U.S efforts to develop a more formalized approach to cyber-attacks.

Paper making Art
The International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA) is the world leading organisation for paper artists. It was founded in 1986 in Düren, Germany, when paper as an art medium was far less well-known than it is today. While paper history and production are one facet of the Association's activities, the central focus is paper role as art form and as a contemporary artistic medium.
The Association main objective is to facilitate an international exchange of artistic ideas and share information about hand papermaking and paper art. IAPMA aims to provide the opportunity for members to work together, collaborate on artistic projects and exhibitions, share solutions to technical problems, explore different paper-related cultural backgrounds, and encourage new approaches to paper arts. To this end, each year two Bulletins and four newsletters are produced: the newsletters provide information about exhibitions, publications, projects and techniques involving paper; the Bulletins are professionally produced magazines with handmade paper covers and samples which feature individual artists, papermakers and their ideas. All members are invited to share information with other members through the newsletters and Bulletins.

Sofrito [soh-free-toh] is a combination of aromatic ingredients which have been cut in very small pieces, and slowly sauteed or braised in cooking oil for 15–30 minutes. In Spanish cuisine, sofrito consists of garlic, onion, peppers, and tomatoes cooked in olive oil, and is used as the base for many dishes.
Similar preparations are used in the cuisines of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and also some Latin American countries. It is called 'refogado' in Portuguese-speaking nations, 'sofregit' in Valencian cuisine, 'epis' in Haitian cuisine, and 'ginisá' in Filipino cuisineread more »
Mole [moh-ley] (from the Aztec word for 'sauce') is the generic name for a number of sauces used in Mexican cuisine, as well as for dishes based on these sauces. Outside of Mexico, it often refers to a specific sauce which is known in Spanish by the more specific name 'mole poblano.' In contemporary Mexico, the term is used for a number of sauces, some quite dissimilar to one another, including black, red, yellow, colorado, green, almendrado, and pipián. The sauce is most popular in the central and southern regions of the country, but eaten nationwide, particularly during celebrations.
In Mexico, to say 'to go to a mole' ('ir a un mole') means to go to a wedding. Three states in Mexico claim to be the origin of mole, Puebla, Oaxaca, and Tlaxcala. The states with the best known moles are Puebla and Oaxaca, but other regions in Mexico also make various types of mole sauces. Moles come in various flavors and ingredients, with chili peppers as the common factor. A classic mole poblano is a dark red or brown sauce served over meat. Mole has a strong flavor, especially the dark ones, and is considered to be an acquired taste for most. This has spawned another saying, 'en su mero mole,' which means something like 'one's cup of tea.'read more »
Garum [gah-rum], similar to liquamen, was a type of fermented fish sauce condiment that was an essential flavour in Ancient Roman cooking. Although it enjoyed its greatest popularity in the Roman world, it originally came from the Greeks, gaining its name from the Greek words garos or gáron (γάρον), a fish whose intestines were originally used in the condiment's production. For the Romans it was both a staple to the common diet and a luxury for the wealthy. After the liquid garum was ladled off of the top of the mixture, the remains of the fish, called allec, was used by the poorest classes to flavour their staple porridge.
The sauce was generally made through the crushing and fermentation in brine of the innards of various fishes such as mackerel, tuna, eel, and others. While the finished product was apparently mild and subtle in flavor, the actual production of garum created such unpleasant smells as to become relegated to the outskirts of citie. Garum was prepared from the intestines of small fishes, macerated in salt and cured in the sun for one to three months, where the mixture fermented and liquified in the dry warmth, the salt inhibiting the common agents of decay. The end product was very nutritious, retaining a high amount of protein and amino acids, along with a good deal of minerals and B vitamins. Garum is still produced at factories in San Roque, Spain.
Sriracha [sir-rotch-ah] is a Thai hot sauce named after the seaside city of Si Racha, in the Chonburi Province of central Thailand, where it was first produced for dishes served at local seafood restaurants. It is a paste of chili peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. Sriracha was popularized in America by Huy Fong Foods, and is known as rooster sauce or cock sauce, due to the rooster featured on its label.

The Rift wants to offer visitors out of this world AR/VR experiences
By Chong Jinn Xiung December 27, 2017
- New AR/VR park boasts attractions that will take visitors to another world
- Aggressive regional expansion plan for the entertainment park
ON the top floor of Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur, Southeast Asia's first Virtual Reality/ Augmented Reality theme park, The Rift opened its doors and invites visitors to step into another world.
Officially opened on 20 Dec 2017, The Rift stretches across 40,000 square feet and boasts 25 virtual worlds visitors to get lost in is said to cost in the region of US$4.9 million (RM20 million) to build. This is combined with augmented reality and attractions that involve physical activity.
"The Rift brings the latest high-tech entertainment experiences to Malaysia, it is the future of family mall entertainment. We want Malaysians from all walks of life to experience the very best in digital immersion and entertainment plus there is something for everyone to enjoy here," said The Rift's group executive chairman and managing director Simon Foong (pic above) during a media preview session.
A serial entrepreneur, Foong is responsible for brands like The Body Shop and Aquaria KLCC. This idea for a AR/VR theme park has been in the back of his mind for the past three/four years. Finally, after a whirlwind six months of planning and building The Rift is a reality.
Among the attractions at The Rift is Zero Latency, a free-roaming immersive VR experience that puts players inside three different scenarios like surviving the zombie apocalypse or embarking an interstellar rescue mission.
There is also a Terminator-themed laser tag game with Terminator X and VR Adventure that tasks participants to escape the Minotaur's maze.
In terms of AR related attractions The Rift has Hado PVP (Player Versus Player) where teams of players face off against each other and in a game akin to competitive dodgeball but using lasers and fireballs.
For adrenaline junkies, The Rift also offers The Leap where visitors can have the exhilarating experience of indoor bungee jumping and the Hurricane VR which takes them on a gripping 360° flying journey through a virtual universe like no other. There is also the HoloWall which combines rock climbing and augmented reality to present a truly unique experience with distinct routes and games.
The Rift currently has an opening promotional pricing of RM98 for The Rift package that includes access to 10 attractions and Zero Latency. Visitors may also choose the Exit Reality package at RM55 which is inclusive of 10 attractions, while the Zero Latency experience is priced at RM52 as a stand-alone attraction.
Beyond opening the first The Rift adventure park in Kuala Lumpur, Foong also hopes to expand the brand into other cities with plans to open a second park in Johor as well as expanding into other countries such as Indonesia and Thailand next year.

Arginine8-vasopressin (AVP, 40 μg/100 g b.wt., SC) was administered to male Long-Evans (LE) pups from day 1 to 7 of life and the pups were sacrificed on day 8 or 60. 3H-AVP binding was performed on membranes prepared from the liver, kidney, and septum. No significant changes were observed in the kidney or septum of animals 8 or 60 days old. However, the chronic AVP treatment did result in a significant increase in the density of 3H-AVP binding sites in the liver when compared to control day 8 pups (control 44 ± 2 vs. AVP 56 ± 3 fmol/mg protein), with no change in affinity. This effect was maintained into adulthood, as the day 60 AVP-treated LE rats also showed a significant increase in liver 3H-AVP binding sites compared to control (control 186 ± 9 vs. AVP 239 ± 14 fmol/mg protein), with no change in affinity. A comparison of 3H-AVP binding sites in 8-day-old LE, heterozygous Brattleboro (HET-BB), and homozygous Brattleboro rats (HOM-BB) was performed to assess the effect of complete (HOM-BB) and partial (HET-BB) VP deficiency on binding sites in the CNS and periphery. The liver again was the only tissue in which a change in 3H-AVP binding characteristics was noted. The HOM-BB rat (Bmax 144 ± 6 fmol/mg protein) displayed a significant increase in AVP binding sites from the LE rat (Bmax 100 ± 7 fmol/mg protein), while the 3H-AVP binding sites in the HET-BB rat liver (Bmax 69.8 ± 9 fmol/mg protein) were significantly lower than LE rats. Thus hepatic AVP receptors appear most sensitive to the presence or absence of vasopressin during the early postnatal period.

Stow Maries Halt
Grid ref: TQ 835 991 (click for o/s map)
Updated 04/06/2021.
Available also via books and apps – click here for details.
Mouse over links for pictures; click for detail page.
This Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserve consists of the former Stow Maries Halt on the disused Maldon to South Woodham Ferrers railway line, along with an adjoining four-acre meadow acquired later. The remains of the platform are still visible by the reserve entrance and four species of fern – wall-rue, maidenhair spleenwort, black spleenwort and hartstongue – grow in the mortar of the bridge here.
It grades from cutting to shallow embankment and consists largely of hawthorn and blackthorn scrub with occasional privet and a scattering of young oak and ash.
Scrub has been cleared from the lower part and a pond has been excavated in marshy ground in the north-west corner. In late spring there are many common spotted orchids and a number of adderstongue ferns, followed in summer by fleabane (in profusion), wild carrot and St John's worts.
The reserve has a good selection of butterflies, including purple and white-letter hairstreaks, and dragonflies. Glow-worms reliably put on a show in July every year, scattered throughout the reserve.
Reached via Church Lane, which connects the lower Burnham road between South Woodham Ferrers and North Fambridge with the road through Stow Maries village. Cars can be parked on the wide grass verge of the bridge over the dismantled railway.
Accessible at all times.
Late spring for orchids; summer for wild flowers and insects (glow-worms in July).
Please keep your dog on a lead when sheep are grazing the reserve.

Highland tedders can ted and turn separately
194256Spelle, 1 July 2020. Complementing its new offering of Highland mowers, Krone also presents a new range of tedders called Vendro that are specifically designed to perform in mountain regions. The new models are the Vendro Highland 420 4-rotor rake, the Vendro Highland 620 6-rotor rake and the Vendro Highland 820 8-rotor model as the first 8-rotor rake specifically for mountainous regions.
All features at a glance
The three Highland rakes stand out for their modern styling and compact, light-pulling design that offers close attachment (two options) to compact mountain tractors thereby shifting only minimum weight to the rear axle. All new Highland tedders share the same 1.38m diameter rotors with 5 tine arms and standard damping rods that provide maximum stability on steep slopes and smooth castering. The headland position is preset and retrieved conveniently from the cab, a boon that prevents the same area being tedded twice and ensures optimum wilting.
As another innovative feature, the Highland tedders have the new Krone OptiTurn rotor concept. This has the gauge wheels on the rotors run in close vicinity with the orbiting Krone OptiTurn tines to the effect of exceptionally close ground hugging. The 3D OptiTurn tines themselves reflect a new and patented design, gathering the material very thoroughly and spreading it with maximum accuracy. The new tedders also score on quick and safe storage in the shed, courtesy of wide front-mounted stands. The stand at the rear pivots in its mounting to compensate for the retracting movement of the damping rods when the machine is being removed from the tractor. This concept of storage position takes the machine weight off the gauge wheels.
Robust and frictional connections for first-class performance
All Highland tedders feature a robust section steel frame in the form of a V which stands out for exemplary load absorption, maximum stability, superb tracking and first-class manoeuvrability. The V-shaped design is also shared by the updated caster-steer headstock which offers four different coupling positions for the top link. A slotted hole is standard and is used when fitting a leading gauge wheel. The pivoting suspension mechanism and the lower link couplers provide the frame and arms with maximum ground hugging flexibility. Perfect lower link and top link coupling also optimises the transport experience behind small tractors.
The hydraulic damping rods ensure the machine follows the tractor accurately and smoothly for a perfect spread and uniform distribution of the material in extreme conditions. In addition to that, the raised machine is stabilised automatically and gently aligned centre so it won't tilt downhill. In addition, the damping rods control the leading tines so they move up when being raised, avoiding poking into the ground.
The new Vendro Highland tedders are also available with a hydraulic border spreading curtain which is adjusted conveniently from the operator seat. The position of the gauge wheels is altered by a central hydraulic ram that controls the border spreading linkage system. The angle of the rotor wheels is altered conveniently and infinitely variably from left to right for tedding uphill and counteracting drift. This way, the forage is tedded in the best possible way even in the steepest of fields and across the full work width.
Like all other Krone tedders, the new Highland models have an all-mechanical driveline which was optimised in terms of efficiency and weight for effortless work on the slope. The driveline comprises the main gearbox with overrunning clutch, the driveshafts, the OctoLink finger clutches and the gearboxes on the rotors. Krone tedders do without universal joints that would require daily lubrication. Instead they have maintenance-free 8-finger OctoLink clutches which provide frictional connections for dependable operation at all times. Like all gearboxes on all Krone tedders, the sealed rotor gearboxes are maintenance-free and run in liquid grease for minimum service and maintenance. All components are lighter-weight now to reduce the overall machine weight – a detail that contributes to the extraordinary light pulling experience without compromising on stability and functionality.
The new Krone OptiTurn technology separates tedding from turning
The new Highland tedders feature the Krone OptiTurn technology as standard. This arranges each gauge wheel very closely to the orbiting rotor tines, ensuring exemplary contouring, minimal losses and uncontaminated forage in very uneven terrain. The two new and three-dimensional tines in each pair are of unequal lengths for clean gathering and precise spreads. Another boon for precision contouring is the relatively small 1.38m rotor diameter.
As another asset, Krone OptiTurn allows operators to use the machine either exclusively as a tedder with conditioning effect or as a turner that merely turns the forage for optimum drying. The preferred mode is set by altering the angle of throw, choosing from four different positions to suit the application at hand. Setting the rotors to a steep angle results in intensive conditioning, setting it to a shallow angle will turn the forage and promote wilting.
Specified to needs
All Vendro Highland models are available with a headland lift-out feature which is either standard or optional depending on the model. This raises the machine to a fixed headland position, which prevents turning the same material twice. Another clever feature is that the machine weight is shifted to the tractor during the headland turn, reducing the risk of tractor wheels scuffing and slipping on slopes.
Further optional specifications are warning panels complete with LED lights (with integral Krone logo) for safer road transport and also an extra leading gauge wheel – a bonus in extremely uneven and bumpy terrain.
What's also available is a push-on gearbox that reduces the rotor speed so that one rotor pair is producing narrow night swaths. This version is recommendable for hay production where farmers seek reduced swath surfaces for the night to minimise dewfall and cut wilting times.

Everyone comes into your life for a reason. You have a gift for them, and they have a gift for you.
people are not sent into your life for you to change or mold them into what you think they should be, but to be loved and appreciated for who they really are.
It's a reasonable request to ask others to treat you a certain way, and then give them the freedom to treat you the way you want, but it's an unreasonable request to expect them to change their nature or who they are so you don't feel insecure about yourself, or so you can feel validated.
Everyone resents having their freedom restricted, being told what they can and can't be, people trying to place limits on their potential and being expected to become something they are not and have no desire to become.
Instead of trying to change others into the perfect person you want, instead focus on becoming the type of person you want to attract!
And do not settle or stop searching until you find someone who already is exactly what you are looking for.

U.S. 'Will Never Be the Same' After Trump, Germany Says
Germany's top diplomat has told foreign policy experts that his country's relationship with the U.S. has suffered irreparable damage under the administration of President Donald Trump, whom he accused of leading Europe on the path toward nuclear war.
Addressing the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel warned Tuesday that the West risked losing its influence over world affairs if it continued to follow the U.S.'s lead. Gabriel, who also served as Chancellor Angela Merkel's second-in-command, criticized Trump's "America first" vision of international relations and announced that Germany would pursue its own agenda and no longer operate under the shadow of its ally in the White House.
Related: U.S. and Western Europe could lose badly in a war against Russia without China's help
"The U.S. no longer sees the world as a global community but as a fighting arena where everyone has to seek their own advantage," Gabriel said, according to Deutsche Welle.
"Germany can no longer simply react to U.S. policy but must establish its own position…even after Trump leaves the White House, relations with the U.S. will never be the same."
Gabriel warned that nations disillusioned with the militant direction the U.S. has taken under Trump have not sought a greater alliance with the EU and urged European countries to follow Germany's lead in standing up against what he said could be "a new nuclear arms race in Europe." Germany has been a staunch supporter of U.S.-led Western military alliance NATO, which has adopted a hardline stance against Russia since the country's 2014 annexation of Crimea from neighboring Ukraine, but Germany has also advocated for dialogue with Moscow.
Since taking office in January, Trump and his administration have been met with a series of scandals and controversial decisions that have hampered the Republican leader's image at home and abroad. Trump's initially close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and dismissal of NATO raised deep concerns among defense allies, and his recent escalations in diplomatic wars with Iran and North Korea have elicited negative reactions from European officials, including Gabriel himself.
In October, Gabriel protested Trump's decision to decertify the Iran nuclear deal, to which Germany was a signatory, and said it was "imperative that Europe sticks together on this issue." In August, he warned that Trump's hardline stance toward nuclear-armed North Korea could lead to an all-out war that "in the worst-case scenario...could result in more victims than World War II," the deadliest conflict in human history.
Trump also took a rare shot at arguably his closest major European ally, U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, last week after she criticized the U.S. leader for sharing far-right videos on his Twitter account. After May suggested that Trump's decision to share the controversial, anti-Muslim videos was "wrong," Trump tweeted the conservative British prime minister should instead "focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom" and the U.S. was "doing just fine."
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the man tasked by Trump with building transatlantic bridges between the White House and Europe, has also found himself on the wrong end of his boss's foreign policy, according to numerous reports suggesting he would soon be replaced. Both Trump and Tillerson have continually denied such reports, even as Tillerson reassured European allies of the U.S.'s commitment to its historic relationships during a trip to the U.S. mission to Belgium in Brussels on Tuesday.
"While we don't have any wins on the board yet, I can tell you we're in a much better position to advance America's interests around the world than we were 10 months ago," Tillerson told U.S. diplomats and staff, according to Reuters.
That same day, Gabriel warned, "The withdrawal of the United States under Donald Trump from its reliable role as a guarantor of Western-led multilateralism accelerates a change of the world order with immediate consequences for German and European interests."
Beyond just taking on Trump and his allies, Gabriel railed Tuesday against what he considered insufficient Western reactions to conflicts in Syria, where government forces supported by Russia and Iran have largely defeated jihadis and rebels once backed by the West and still supported by some of its allies, and in Ukraine, where Russia-backed separatists remained in control of parts of the country's restive east.

Divorce with Kids: Four Steps to Minimize the Impact
Divorce with kids in mind. Here we discuss how to minimize the effects of divorce on children by taking good care of your own needs, explaining divorce in an understandable way to your children, listen to feelings, don't try to fix them, and set up valuable routines. What not to do? That's here as well.
(1) Model Self-Care for Your Children During the Divorce and After the Divorce.
The Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory finds that divorce is the second most stressful life event, second only to the death of a spouse. But if you're doing a poor job of self-care, you probably aren't doing a good job helping your kids survive divorce either. Divorce is the end of cruising comfortably. There will be rough air ahead. Put on your oxygen mask first, and make sure your kids have your undivided attention.
Self-care is a matter of interpretation, but there are a few essential ideas that tend to make everyone's list of best practices:
- Take care of your body.
- Watch your alcohol, recreational drug, and comfort food intake.
- Don't neglect daily medications or scheduled medical and dental appointments.
- Get an appropriate amount of sleep.
- Eat high-quality food.
- Move. Get some sort of exercise.
- Find an emotional support system that you can rely on.
- Engage in stimulating, fun or pleasant activities with your kids, your support system, and when appropriate…alone.
- Remember that you can grow as a result of your struggle to do your best for everyone involved.
2. Your Kids Deserve a Detailed Explanation. But Emphasize Four Specific Ideas.
Your very first task is to tell them what happened. But make it clear that:
- They are not responsible for your divorce.
- You and your spouse are fully responsible for your divorce, and their experience of it.
- You both love them as much as before, and you will both be working extra hard to make sure that they get that message every day.
- Your divorce is an event that will unfold over time. Questions will come up and be answered. You won't leave them anxious and worried.
The effects of divorce on children will be eased if they get this message.
But, hey this conversation is just getting started. Help your kids survive divorce by opening up emotional space for questions. But don't read anything into it if they don't have any at first.
Their ability to process this massive event depends on their developmental age, their emotional reactivity, other stressors in their lives, etc. They will establish their own pace for processing these changes.
Don't squander opportunities to address their issues. Answer their questions. Tell them that they can always ask either of you a question, or express a feeling. Sadness and grief are ok as well.
3. You Don't Have to Promise to Fix Every Feeling. You Promise to Put Them First.
Divorced dads, in particular, might be tempted to jump into a full problem-solving mode.
Men are like that. Try not to show up that way, particularly with your daughters.
Your kids might want to talk about uncomfortable feelings. That doesn't mean that they expect you to fix them.. just listen.
When they complain about a fact on the ground, like your reduced availability, tell them that you don't like it either and that you will both work together to make the best of it.
Help your kids survive divorce by confirming your love and support, but don't ever let your anxiety prompt you to overpromise and under-deliver. Your word means something. Keep it with your kids always. Especially now.
Sometimes divorcing parents over-promise out of a sense of guilt or increased anxiety. Don't fall into that trap.
4. To Help Your Kids Survive Divorce, Routines Should Be Sacred.
Your children are stressed about all of the changes both real and imagined. Minimize the effects of divorce on children by working with your ex-partner to co-parent with a sense of routine and predictable order. This is most important in an area that can protect your children from the ravages of stress… their peer group activities.
If divorce requires relocation, acknowledge this fact for the huge stressor that it is. You can minimize the effects of divorce on children by getting established with a new peer group and new activities as soon as possible. This could prevent serious behavior problems down the line.
The Worst, Most Flat out Stupid Thing You Could Do Now?
That's easy. If your kids had a ringside seat to the parental prize fights… give 'em a break. Let their little nervous systems calm down.
Fighting in front of the kids is the single most toxic and preventable behavioral mistake you could make right now. Protect your kids from divorce by becoming skilled at co-parenting.
If your divorce has given your kids a break from those prize fights… good. It's probably the only consolation on their plate. They should never have seen that in the first place.
But here's the problem.
You and your former spouse might have more stuff to juggle and work out now as you finalize a divorce routine. Fighting in front of the kids now won't help your kids survive divorce. But it will add stress to their already bewildering grief.
They have it tough enough already. Help your kids survive divorce by putting their needs first.
If you lack skill in co-parenting, take a class. Read a book. Have a heart-to-heart talk about fighting.
Reach a mutual agreement about how to really help your kids survive divorce. Get a therapist if need be.
Minimize the effects of divorce on children by having some semblance of discipline in how you relate to each other in front of the kids.
I don't care if your partner is speaking ill of you. Don't triangulate and retaliate through your children. Contain the damage. Even if you think your partner is responsible for 100% of it. Kids can smell simmering rage and hostility.
If you think you're hiding it…you're wrong.
Think about the long game here. What do I mean? Let's do a thought experiment.
I want you to imagine that it's 25 years from now. One of your kids is at a casino in Vegas with some friends, and maybe they're with their significant other too. They're relaxed and loose, having a good time.
The topic of what happened to you when your parents divorced comes up. They all share war stories.
What do you think your kid will say about your integrity, resilience, patience, and skill? Who will be the hero in their story? You are writing that story today.

I've had to keep checking all the calendars around the house to make sure that today is indeed a Friday . . .
Yep, it's Friday, but for some reason, it sure feels and is acting like a Monday!
With a fair amount of alarm, Gareth realized before leaving for work this morning that his wallet was missing. For the first five minutes of the search we were relatively calm. When it became obvious that it wasn't anywhere in the house or the car, we assumed that perhaps he'd left it at Gaby's ballet studio last night when he was picking her up from class. He'd taken his wallet out in order to pay for one of her recital costumes. So, he left for work but not before I made him feel really bad (I had moved beyond mildly panicked into "OMFG! Not only are your bank and credit cards in there, so is your driver's license, but most importantly, your GREEN CARD IS IN YOUR WALLET!") because I'd pulled up the USCIS page that let us know what we were looking at having to pay if we had to replace his Green Card . . . $450.00! Being that we've just started the Naturalization process and that's expensive, I was not thrilled with the prospect of sending yet more money to USCIS.
Gareth left for work, Gaby got on the school bus, and I called the dance studio and left a voice mail asking them to please check for his wallet. In the interim I tore the house apart looking for the wallet. I even drove over to the dance studio and looked around outside, thinking that maybe if it dropped out of his pants or jackewt, it might still be on the ground. Gareth phoned from work to let me know it wasn't in his office either. Eventually the director of Gaby's dance studio returned my call and let me know that she'd run down to the studio to check and see if the wallet was in the reception area, or anywhere around the studio in general, including the parking area, all to no avail.
I let Gareth know that the wallet wasn't at the studio and at that point we assumed the wallet was gone. He called and cancelled all of his bank and credit cards and asked our bank to rush him a new debit card, at an additional charge of $25.00. New York has an online system where you can order a replacement driver's license over the web, so another $20.00 later we had "Replace Gareth's driver's license" checked off the list as well.
We had done a few loads of laundry last night, so I ran downstairs to check to see if the wallet might have accidentally gotten into the washer or dryer, but alas, no wallet there either. But I did find the mother of all centipedes down there. At that point, after killing the thing so dead that I'm pretty sure I even crushed it's soul before it had a chance to escape it's doomed body, I decided to go ahead and take my very last Xanax (I can't refill until Monday because I've been trying to make my Rx last longer. Not smart, especially now that centipede season is in full bloom!) in order to try and quash the rising panic attack I could feel starting to form, between the rapid heartbeat and the awful feeling in the pit of my stomach.
So, I walk out into the living room with my Xanax in one hand, grab my glass of water, put the pill in my mouth and then . . . I sneezed. At a rate that would probably rival a major league baseball pitch, the pill went flying out of my mouth, over the coffee table, over the head of the cat who was sleeping in front of the fireplace, and into the glass covering on the fireplace. Plip! went the pill! Up went the cat's ears! Geronimo (because of course, what other cat would it be?) immediately perked up and decided, "Must pounce, must conquer little white pill, must eat little white pill!" And he did.
I was absolutely !*%^@ing horrified! I rushed over to the cat and I, I kid you not, got down on my knees and said, "Give it back! I need it more than you do!" He just sat there and looked at me like the moron I am. I kinda freaked out about my cat ingesting a "controlled substance" so I called the vet. At this point I'm pretty much in tears. My husband's wallet is gone, I'm about to write another big check to USCIS, and now my cat has gone and eaten one of my Xanax. My last Xanax. The vet assured me that based on his weight (26lbs) and the dosage (very small) that he'd probably be fine but to watch him closely. The vet went on to say that he'd probably be pretty mellow for the rest of the day. Yeah, he was pretty mellow all right.
I really hope you enjoyed that Xanax, Geronimo.
My very chill cat:
He flopped on his box by the window and rather than try to leap through the window at the passing blue jays, cardinals, and robins like he always tries to do, he just laid there and dazedly watched them in between naps.
I spent a while longer turning over the house in an attempt to try and find the damn wallet. When it became obvious that the chances of finding the wallet were about as good as the late Ed McMahon showing up on my doorstep with the winning Publishers Clearing House entry, and with nothing more to do I flopped on the bed and started to sort through a basket of clean clothes.
I upended the basket and out tumbled all sorts of clean socks, t-shirts, and Gaby's camis. Something substantial hit the corner of my foot. It was mixed in with all the socks. I reached under the clothes and pulled out a small, square, black leather wallet! I had found Gareth's wallet.
The relief was intense and immediate. Of course, now Gareth has a duplicate driver's license on the way (which we can't cancel, I checked), and his bank cards were all cancelled, but that pretty little Green Card was right where it belonged!
I called Gareth to let him know that all was (relatively) well with the world again and that his wallet was safe and sound. I apologized for acting like an ass. It was never a big deal to him to begin with, but as I often do, I made a huge deal out of it.
At that point, feeling rather cocky pleased with myself that I'd found his wallet, I decided to run to Dunkin Donuts and get a large UNsweetned (sweet tea is just the nastiest thing ever!) iced tea with extra lemon. Once or twice a week when it starts to get warm outside, I crave their iced tea. I realize it's probably just Lipton tea, but I've never been able to successfully make my own iced tea (it's not rocket science, I realize this, but I have about as much luck making the stuff as I do pie crusts) and so I treat myself. In order to delay gratification, I ran some errands first. I even made a point to walk as much as I could, until it got to be too painful, in order to deserve the iced tea just a bit more. So I limp into DnD, mouth watering. I see the lemon slices, I'm watching them pour my tea over mounds off lovely ice, add four slices of lemon, put the cap on, and at this point I'm practically salivating. I pay for my drink, say thank you, walk out to my car, buckle up, put my straw in my drink and head home. Right before I get home I greedily take a huge sip of my iced tea and nearly spit it all over the inside of my car!
They'd given me sweet tea instead.
Well there was the ying to my yang, so to speak. That'll teach me to be overly pleased with myself.
I walk in the door, and there's the cat, in the same place he was when I left. He lazily turns his head over and opens one blue eye just a little bit, almost like I'm totally harshing his mellow by being in his space. He gives me a barely audible chirp (yes, our cat chirps. Does this surprise you?), as if to say, "Duuuuuuuuuude . . ."
I poured the nasty tea into the sink, and as I was bemoaning my sorry lot in life, the doorbell goes off. I heard the rumble of a big truck and I knew it was my buddy, the UPS guy dropping off some packages I've been waiting for. Last week I had ordered matching outfits for Gaby, my niece Cali, and my granddaughter, Kennedy from Lolly Wolly Doodle.
I also ordered monogrammed overnight bags for each girl. The outfits are lime and navy blue and so are the bags. Well, there was a screw up with the bags initially and I was left believing that they were sold out and that I'd be getting a refund. After back-and-forths with customer service they told me it was an issue with their invoicing system and that I would indeed be getting the bags . . . in about 4 weeks. Well OK, not ideal but hopefully each girl will have their things by this summer when I'm hoping we all get together.
I wasn't really thrilled with my experience with Lolly, so I wasn't sure I'd ever order from them again, despite having really adorable hand-made outfits. I didn't like the screw up, and then to have to wait so long for the outfits and bags? Yeah, it just wasn't something I wanted to do again. So imagine my surprise when I opened the door and there on my doorstep were two brightly colored packages from none other than Lolly Wolly Doodle!
I open the first package and it's Kennedy's little outfit. The second package was a larger box and it had all three monogrammed overnight bags . . . Cali's initials were correct . . .Kennedy's initials were correct . . . Gaby's initials were NOT CORRECT!
Instead of GRH it's GHR.
Oh well. At least the other two bags were fine, and Kennedy's outfit is absolutely adorable. I'm hoping the other two turn out just as cute, and get here just as quickly.
So there you have it, why my Friday has pretty much been like a Monday.
I think I'm going to go buy a PowerBall ticket tomorrow . . . and a safety helmet. Just in case.

Behr is There!
We recently built a building to protect our riding mower, fourwheelers, and tools. We live deep in the Appalachian Mountain range so we are exposed to all different types of weather and have a lot of heavy weather as well. We decided that, since we have always trusted Behr Premium Paints that we would paint our new building with this Behr Premium Plus Exterior Satin Enamel Paint, and we could not possibly be happier with the turnout! It goes on smooth, covers everything very well, and, as with all Behr Premium Paints, is very, very durable. It stands up to high traffic, heavy snow, brutal thunderstorms, and still looks as good as it did the very day we painted it! You should most definitely try Behr products! Behr is There! They have never once let us down, and this paint is no different! I am very confident in my decision to recommend this Behr Premium Plus Exterior Satin Enamel Paint to everyone who will take the time to listen! It really does look great!

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Quentin R. Tyler, assistant dean and director of diversity at the University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, will be leaving his post in March. He has been named Michigan State University's associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, or CANR.
While at UK, he has provided leadership in strengthening workplace diversity, recruiting and retaining a diverse student body, building cultural competency, as well as monitoring assessment and reporting activities. He was the college's first full-time diversity assistant dean and director.
In addition to his role as assistant dean, Tyler is principal investigator of the Governor's Minority College Preparation Program. This program works to increase awareness among students about the benefits of attending college.
He is board chair for the National Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences, or MANRRS. He serves as a liaison between the National MANRRS Executive Committee and the National MANRRS Advisory Board, and has served in several other roles with National MANRRS, including president. He helped to build UK's program into the best in the nation, a title it has garnered for five consecutive years.
"This was not an easy decision. I am a three-time alumnus of this college and university, and this will always be considered my home," Tyler said. "I am a native of Kentucky and have been at the university for over 19 years. I have built a lot of relationships with people that I consider family and friends. Dean Nancy Cox has been very supportive of me throughout my tenure at UK, and I was very fortunate to have her as my dean and mentor.
"It came down to new challenges, the opportunity to be a key part of their senior leadership team, and make a difference in helping advance diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at the College of Agriculture, and Natural Resources at Michigan State."
The college will begin looking for someone to fill the role soon to ensure that it continues to make strides in its commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
"As much as we will miss Quentin, we are so happy that his distinguished record of creative service and achievement has been recognized in this way," said Nancy Cox, dean of the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. "We are proud that he is an alumnus and hope we can get him back at UK one day. I speak for many who treasure Quentin's friendship and his legacy. He has moved the needle on diversity not only in our college but nationally, and we wish him the very best in his new position."

Signed Into Law, Metzger's Bill Extends the Hudson Valley Community Preservation Act to Ulster County
Albany, NY...Today, Senator Jen Metzger's (SD-42) bill was signed into law, allowing Ulster County communities to raise funds for preserving open space, unique ecological areas, agricultural lands, and historic sites. The companion bill in the Assembly was introduced by Assemblymember Kevin Cahill (AD-103).
Adding Ulster County to the 2007 Hudson Valley Community Preservation Act gives Ulster County towns and villages the option enjoyed by municipalities in Dutchess, Putnam, and Westchester counties to establish a Community Preservation Fund through a modest real estate transfer tax-- a tool to help municipalities protect resources important to the community, finance conservation and better manage development. In order to set up such a fund, local governments must first obtain the approval of voters through a public referendum.
"This legislation is about giving Ulster communities the tools to safeguard their unique natural, historic, agricultural, and scenic resources for the benefit of current and future generations," said Senator Metzger. "Having worked at the local level in Ulster County for many years to protect open space and support our local farms, I am thrilled to partner with Assemblymember Cahill in providing this important opportunity to local governments for this purpose, and thank the Governor for recognizing the need to protect our irreplaceable Hudson Valley resources."
"The enactment of the Community Preservation Act into law for Ulster County is an important step forward in helping our local governments preserve open space, develop the tools needed to make housing more affordable and to responsibly plan for a sustainable future. This is yet another example of the partnership between Senator Jen Metzger, Governor Cuomo and our office which moved the needle a positive direction after it has been stuck for so long. I am proud of my sponsorship of this measure and look forward to it helping localities in a multitude of ways." said Assemblymember Cahill.
"Ulster County is fortunate to possess remarkable natural, agricultural, and historic resources that define the identity of communities and are an asset to our economy," said Andy Bicking, Director of Public Policy for Scenic Hudson. "The Community Preservation Act enables local government to take proactive steps to keep these resources intact and protect them for the benefits they provide. Scenic Hudson commends Senator Metzger, Assemblyman Cahill and Governor Cuomo for their leadership and support of this important policy. We are committed to collaborating with local governments who want to create a local community preservation program."
"This legislation gives local municipalities the ability to protect things like farmland, open space, and historic buildings, all of which preserve these communities' unique character," said Neil Bettez, New Paltz Town Supervisor.

UCLA and No. 10 Oregon will meet at the Rose Bowl for what is looking like the biggest game in the Pac-12 Conference so far this season.
UCLA Athletic Director Martin Jarmond and his staff are prepared to deliver another big-game experience Saturday in the national spotlight, following the success of the Bruins' home victory over LSU on Sept. 4.
Jarmond has spent the days leading up to the big game by visiting with students to encourage and remind them to show up and represent the university at its various football-related events throughout the homecoming weekend.
For the students that arrive on campus early Saturday morning for ESPN's "College GameDay" show (6-9 a.m.), the athletic department will offer free food and tickets for the game that will kick off at 12:30 p.m. at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Jarmond has experience working with the show and knows what it could do for the university, after working for Ohio State and Boston College's athletic departments throughout his career.
"I've been impressed with our students," said Jarmond, who made the decision to host the show on campus. "They've shown up and shown out. The turnout for (games this season) has been phenomenal and higher than we've had in years among our student base and it's growing."
When the Bruins played LSU, UCLA classes were not in session and most students weren't in town to attend the game.
The university has offered free shuttle services for students to help with commuting between Westwood and Pasadena.
"We've invested more into our logistics," Jarmond said. "I think you have to make it easy to engage and come. We are starting to learn more and getting better because I want more people there."
UCLA coach Chip Kelly has said the players will stick to their scheduled routines in order to remain focused on the game and won't appear live during the "College GameDay" show.
Defensive back Obi Eboh will represent the football team with a tour of the Wasserman Football Center and the campus. UCLA basketball legend Bill Walton will participate during the show as the celebrity guest predictor.
Kelly and Oregon coach Mario Cristobal will make an appearance during the show to talk about the upcoming game.
When the pregame festivities are over and the game kicks off, there will be a lot at stake for both teams.
A UCLA victory would not only be a statement victory for the program, but it would ensure bowl eligibility with a sixth win and set up a Pac-12 South clash next week at Utah.
Oregon must win to keep its Pac-12 North title dreams alive and remain the conference's only hope to contend for one of four College Football Playoff spots, with the first rankings released Nov. 2.
When UCLA has the ball
Kelly was creative with his offensive formations last week at Washington. The Bruins will need to deploy something similar this week in order to keep the Oregon defense guessing and limit the play-making ability of defensive end and former Oaks Christian High star Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Thibodeaux did not play in the first half against Cal last week after being called for targeting in the previous game against Stanford. When he did return in the second half, he had three tackles and a sack.
"(Thibodeaux is) a very good player," Kelly said. "We got to be aware of where he is, they move him to multiple places."
UCLA's offensive line must play its strongest game of the year in order to prevent the potential No. 1 overall NFL draft pick from getting to quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Thompson-Robinson has improved with his decision-making this season and not turned the ball over as much as in recent years.
The Bruins must win the turnover battle and establish the running game early before leaning on the explosive games in the passing game.
When Oregon has the ball
The Ducks will have to establish the run against the Bruins, who field the top-ranked run defense in the conference, allowing just 91 yards per game.
Oregon had a similar two-back system before CJ Verdell suffered a season-ending injury. Travis Dye (Norco High) will be asked to carry the load like he did against Cal, when he rushed for 145 yards, averaging 7.6 yards per carry, and a touchdown.
"UCLA poses a very tough run defense," Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorehead said. "We're going to have to do a really nice job in our effort there to run the ball and we're definitely going to have to find a way to get Travis his touches."
Dye also serves as a top receiver for the Ducks, leading the team with 15 receptions for 153 yards.
Moorehead gave quarterback Anthony Brown a glowing vote of confidence this week, putting an end to any talk of a change at the position.
Brown brings experience and athleticism to the Ducks' offense, proving the latest challenge for the Bruins' defense.
Moorehead also mentioned the state of the offense meeting its goals after six games.
"We came into the season saying we wanted to do two things," Moorehead said. "We want to create explosive plays and limit turnovers. I feel like we have succeeded with more of the latter than the former, but our explosive play ratio has improved."
The Bruins' secondary has been susceptible to giving up big plays of late, something the Ducks might try to exploit early.
UCLA's defensive backs have received a much-needed boost with some players, including Mo Osling III, returning from injury this week.

From Social Media Optimatization…
Retailers Turning to Facebook
Not surprisingly, Facebook is the social media site of choice for many US online retailers, judging by an August 2008 study by Internet Retailer and Vovici.
What is surprising, is the low number of retailers who are using social networking sites to reach consumers. And these are online retailers, people who know and understand about the Internet, or at least should.
