A temperamental mood can make human interaction seem like a chore today. You may find that behaviors you might otherwise have ignored irritate you greatly, leaving you unable to concentrate on anything else. Your grumpiness may, however, simply be the result of a sincere desire to spend time alone. This can be a wonderful time to retreat into the solitude of your home or some other private space so that you can get reacquainted with yourself in peace and quiet. Freed from the influences of others, you can concentrate on only those subjects that you feel are most enlightening today, thus pleasing yourself and discovering who you are at the same time.
There are times in our lives when we feel most comfortable spending the majority of our waking hours away from the company of others because we need to center ourselves apart from any potential sources of irritation. Attaining an objective outlook can be difficult when the influence of others\' thoughts and feelings is working subtly on our hearts and minds. Removing ourselves from situations in which we will be distracted from our reflection allows us to reach a place of equilibrium that takes into account the different aspects of the self as they exist independently of the world around us. Here, we can both perceive the quiet voice of our inner selves and accept that our emotions are unsullied. Your temperamental mood will leave you today when you give yourself adequate opportunities to sink into the peace that solitude affords.

Gastric Bypass Recipes are pivotal in helping you adjust to your new stomach.\n\nWhat This Article Covers:\n\nWhat to Eat After Gastric Bypass Surgery\nEating After Gastric Bypass Surgery Recipes\nClear Liquid Diet \nNutrition-Dense Recipes For Your Full Liquid Diet \nBest Recipes for Your Soft Foods Diet\nAwesome Recipes for Your Stabilization Stage \nGastric Bypass Information\nFood Guidelines for Bariatric Surgery\n\nWhat to Eat After Gastric Bypass Surgery\nCongratulations on starting your weight loss journey! Metabolic and bariatric surgery is a life-changing procedure that can help to support weight loss and offer you a better quality of life. \nAfter surgery, you will undergo a series of diet stages. They will differ in length based on the surgery performed and your tolerance to new foods. \nThe Importance Of Proteins\nThis new staple diet is a protein-centered phased approach diet plan. Why? Proteins are the building blocks of all life. All human cells contain protein.* \nProteins aid in repairing and restoring tissue, catalyzing the healing of your new stomach pouch, and supporting muscle maintenance.*\nIf there are insufficient protein stores, you will feel fatigued, with decreased metabolism, and unhealthy weight fluctuations.* \nProtein drinks for bariatric patients are a great investment for your health after surgery. They are a great vehicle for getting your protein-packed nourishment. Gastric bypass and Gastric sleeve protein shake recipes have yummy and nutrient-dense ingredients to sustain you. We list some recipe options below!\nAnother great investment is a gastric bypass cookbook. This is a very beneficial tool as the bariatric diet will be your lifelong staple. It outlines the bariatric food pyramid with proteins being the prioritized food group.\nEating After Gastric Bypass Surgery Recipes\nA Gastric bypass diet is a lifestyle adjustment that supports healing, toleration, and healthy weight post gastric bypass surgery. This special diet is constructed to help you adapt to major surgical changes - getting used to feeding a smaller stomach. Its purpose is to also help in your recovery process.* \nAre you unsure of what to eat and drink post gastric bypass surgery? Look no further, because this article dishes out all the best recipes and ingredients that will help support a healthy weight. It is important to prioritize protein intake and hydration following gastric bypass surgery.*\nLooking for recipe suggestions that are quick, easy, affordable, and geared to your healthy lifestyle? Check out these recipes from our bariatric recipe pantry curated for you by our bariatric dietitian. \nClear Liquid Diet \n\nStage 1: 1-2 Days Post-op\n\nPhase 1 post-op is typically a clear liquid diet. This will only include clear liquids that are sugar-free. Depending on the individual, this phase should only last about 1-2 days after surgery. The purpose of this phase 1 diet will be to allow the stomach to heal while still ensuring the body is receiving fluids and electrolytes. \nHydration is Essential\nDehydration has become a common occurrence after metabolic and bariatric surgery, resulting in readmission to the hospital within 30 days after surgery. (2)* \nA goal during your diet phase 1 post-op is to consume at least 48-64oz of fluids daily. In order to combat the difficulty of drinking fluids after surgery, try drinking from a small cup and taking small sips throughout the entire day. Aim for at least 1-3oz of fluids consumed every 30 minutes. \nBariatric Supplements\nPost-bariatric vitamins are always recommended and should be taken as directed. A chewable supplement form is typically recommended initially following surgery to support healing and toleration.* \nSome healthcare providers will recommend starting bariatric supplements before surgery and continuing after, while others will recommend starting them in the hospital after surgery. Always follow the recommendations of your healthcare provider and dietitian following weight loss surgery. \nThere are different multivitamin options available, such as a bariatric multivitamin with iron or an all-inclusive multivitamin chewable. \nClear Liquid Options\nClear liquids apply to fluids that you can see through. This can include the following:\n\nWater, flavored water\nCrystal Light\nPropel\nG2 Gatorade\nSugar-free KoolAid\nSugar-free popsicles\nSugar-free Jell-O\nChicken, Beef, or Bone broth\nOcean Spray sugar-free drink mixes\n\nYour after gastric bypass surgery diet plan will progress when medically feasible and cleared by your healthcare provider. This will start to include protein shakes. Protein shakes and bariatric surgery are important when not enough protein can be consumed through dietary food sources. Over time, you can expand to include more recipes for after gastric bypass surgery. Small portions, specific ingredients, and limitations of certain processed foods must be maintained to ensure adequate health and to support a healthy weight.*\nNutrition-Dense Recipes For Your Full Liquid Diet \n\nStage 2: 2-14 Days Post-op \n\nDepending on diet progression, you will be introduced to having mostly liquid meals, but now of thicker consistency. \nYou will be required to focus on high protein foods for gastric sleeve patients and gastric bypass, getting around 60-100g per day based on your individual needs and adequate hydration.\nFood and beverage options will include:\n\nAll approved clear liquids\nStrained soups\nBroth\nGreek yogurt\nSugar-free pudding\nProtein shakes\nUnsweetened almond milk, soy milk, Lactaid\nThinned mashed potatoes\n\nFull Liquid Recipes\nRecipes curated by our bariatric dietitian.\n\nNutrient-Packed Protein Shake\n\n\nIngredients: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 scoops Bariatric Fusion Strawberry Banana High Protein Meal Replacement, 1 cup frozen mixed berry blend, 2 tbsp hemp hearts, ¼ tsp cinnamon, 1 frozen wheatgrass shot\nNutrition facts: 410 calories, 17g fat, 30g carbohydrates, 14g fiber, 6g sugar, 39g protein\nGet the full recipe here!\n\nShamrock Protein Shake\n\n\nIngredients: 2 scoops Bariatric Fusion Vanilla High Protein Meal Replacement, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ tsp mint extract, 1 small handful of spinach (or a few drops of green food coloring)\nNutrition facts: 180 calories, 4.5g fat, 10g carbohydrates, 5g fiber, 0.5g sugar, 28g protein\nGet the full recipe here!\nBest Recipes For Your Soft Foods Diet\n\nStage 3: 14-28 Days Post-op\n\nSoft foods make up your gastric bypass and gastric sleeve diet week 3. This will enable you to thereafter progress to regular solid foods.\nThe timing of this diet stage will range post-op depending on your tolerance and healing. Pureed foods may be recommended before the soft food diet stage post-op.\nA soft food diet will include more dietary options that should consist of small, tender, and easily chewed pieces of food. The food should be chewed until it is a pureed consistency before swallowing.\nThe gastric bypass foods lists during the soft food stage include:\n\nAll approved clear liquids\nAll approved full liquids\nSeafood (tilapia, cod, tuna)\n\nGround turkey and chicken\n\nEgg whites (scrambled, boiled, poached)\nHummus\n\nLegumes (black beans, lentils, garbanzo beans)\n\nApplesauce\n\nCooked veggies\n\n\nLow-fat cottage cheese\n\n\nSuggested Menu Recipes for Soft Food Diet\nBariatric recipes curated for your soft food diet meal prep by our bariatric dietitian.\n\nAvocado Deviled Eggs\n\n\nIngredients: 6 eggs, ¼ avocado, 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise, 1 tsp mustard, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp paprika\nNutrition facts (serving size 2 halves): 105 calories, 8g fat, 1.5g carbohydrates, 0.5g fiber, 0.5g sugar, 7g protein\nGet the full recipe here!\n\nSingle Serving Ricotta Bake\n\n\nIngredients: ⅛ cup part-skim ricotta cheese, 1 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp reduced fat shredded mild cheddar, ¼ egg, ⅛ tsp ground thyme, ⅛ tsp garlic powder, ⅛ tsp dried basil\nOptional: 1 tbsp marinara sauce on top\nNutrition facts: 134 calories, 8g fat, 1g fiber, 4g carbohydrates, 1.5g sugar, 10g protein\nGet the full recipe here!\nAwesome Recipes For Your Stabilization Stage \n\nStage 4: After 2 Months Post-op\n\nThis time frame will vary based on the individual. The regular diet meal plan marks the beginning of your lifelong diet. Now, you can gradually return to eating solid foods based on the recommendations made by your dietitian and bariatric healthcare team. \nAt this point, your diet may fall into the 1000-calorie bariatric diet plan. If you find you are exceeding this goal, look into purchasing a bariatric portion plate to assist with moderation and portion control. \nYou will find that you are able to explore more dietary options, but may require alternatives to typical recipes. This would include if you are a fan of sushi. Sushi after gastric bypass will require some alternatives including being made without rice. \nIt doesn’t matter whether you are eating 2 months after your procedure or eating 6 months after gastric bypass, it still calls for a low-calorie, high-protein diet. This supports healthy weight in the long-term.*\nSuggested Example: Lunch Or Appetizer Idea \nBuffalo Chicken Wing Wonton Cups \n\nIngredients: 2 boneless and skinless chicken breast, 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp chipotle chili powder, 24 wonton wrappers, 4 oz ⅓ less fat Neufchatel cheese, ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup hot sauce, 3 oz blue cheese crumbles\nNutrition facts (serving size 1 wonton cup): 68 calories, 3.6g fat, 4.3g carbohydrates, 0.5g fiber, 0.5g sugar, 4.3g protein\nGet the full recipe here!\n\nHummus Chicken Salad\n\n\nIngredients: 2 cooked and chopped chicken breasts, 2 tbsp green onions sliced, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, ¼ cup chopped red bell peppers, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, ½ cup hummus\nNutrition facts: 196 calories, 9g fat, 10g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 2g sugar, 21g protein\nGet the full recipe here!\nOver time and with patience you’ll become acquainted with this new norm of eating. Portion size will vary after metabolic and bariatric surgery based on the food stage and tolerance. Consult with your dietitian about appropriate food options based on your individual needs. \nGastric Bypass Information\nThere are a number of new recommendations you will have to follow in order to see the best outcomes from having surgery.\nGastric bypass and alcohol are one of the limitations that are highlighted after surgery. Alcohol typically is not allowed after surgery unless otherwise stated by your healthcare provider. Alcohol contains empty calories, and your body processes it differently after surgery. \nAlcohol can also create fluctuations in blood sugar. Low blood sugar after gastric bypass surgery can be a risk and should be monitored. \nCaffeine is another hot topic after surgery. Why no caffeine after gastric bypass? Large amounts can be a diuretic. Caffeine is also very acidic and may not be tolerated well with your new stomach pouch. \nCarbonation after gastric sleeve is also not recommended. Carbonation can cause bloating and a false sense of fullness in your new stomach pouch.\nAlso, stay away from controversial topics like diet pills after gastric sleeve or gastric bypass unless you have consulted a qualified healthcare provider. This topic remains controversial, lacking sufficient evidence of its effectiveness. \nAnother thing to remember is to stay away from fad diets after surgery. Fad diets are restrictive, lack major nutrients, and lack sustainability. A keto diet gastric bypass would fall under this category, despite giving short-term results. Long-term outcomes are unlikely. (1)*\n\nFood Guidelines for Bariatric Surgery\n\nWhat to eat before gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass? A protein-enriched diet, and then you’ll be gradually instructed to follow an approved clear liquid diet. The clear liquid diet before gastric sleeve will help to cleanse your system for your operation and support your weight loss. A very similar diet is started directly following surgery as well. \nWhen it comes to eating after metabolic and bariatric surgery, when the time is appropriate, eating out after gastric bypass shouldn’t be a burden. The best restaurants for bariatric patients offer great-tasting, healthy meals at affordable prices. \nHowever, creating meals on your own is always a great option when it comes to your health and wellness. You could create a recipe for bariatric cheeseburger pie or even bariatric pancakes that are low in calories.\nMeal plans for gastric sleeve patients and patients with gastric bypass consist of high protein (eg. fish, turkey, tofu) to aid your recovery post-op.*\nSummary \nGastric bypass surgery is malabsorptive and restrictive, limiting the number of nutrients you can consume and also your ability to absorb them.\nNutrition is imperative for healthy living, especially post gastric bypass. You need all the nourishment you can get. This includes taking your daily bariatric multivitamin to avoid common deficiencies.* \nThe recipes we have provided above are just a few of the many options you have following surgery. Support a healthy lifestyle by eating the right food for the right stage of your journey through metabolic and bariatric surgery. \nSpeak with your healthcare team about supporting a healthy lifestyle after metabolic and bariatric surgery with BARIATRIC RECIPES and BARIATRIC MULTIVITAMINS.*\nDid you find out blog helpful?

In these two delightful history-mysteries, seven boys in Ancient Rome solve strange crimes . . . thanks to some help from their cranky teacher, a little bit of logic, and a lot of amusing misadventure.
Yes, Rufus wrote CAIUS IS A DUMBBELL on his tablet at school, but no, he did not break into the schoolroom, did not tie up his teacher, and certainly did not paint his slur about Caius on the Temple of Minerva (even if it is in Rufus's own handwriting). Rufus is doomed unless his six classmates can find out who is really responsible. Every hour seems to bring a new, confusing clue . . . until the boys finally stumble upon someone who is not what he appears to be.

"An original and humorous mystery story . . . tied neatly into a plot that has continuous suspense. . . . The boys are real in their mischief and eager deducing, and the historical details are so naturally a part of the story that the whole has a liveliness that the pictures suggest."--TheHorn Book —

For most of Lake County, the thunderclap of Thursday night's storm turned out to be much worse than the thunderbolt.
Two separate storm fronts brought 3 inches of rain in two hours to parts of the county, flooding basements in Round Lake Beach and knocking trees onto homes in Lake Forest.
No serious injuries were reported, and county police and emergency officials, recalling last week's flooding, felt a little blessed after Thursday's storm.
"We dodged the bullet here," said Gurnee Deputy Police Chief Henry Schwartz. "It could be a lot worse. Just look at those folks on the Mississippi."
Thursday's storm dumped 2.7 inches of rain in Gurnee between 10 p.m. and midnight and closed the intersection of U.S. Highway 41 and Milwaukee Avenue, Schwartz said.
The rain and winds gusting up to 70 m.p.h. also knocked out power to about 14,000 customers, mainly in the Libertyville and Waukegan areas, according to Commonwealth Edison officials.
The high winds did much more damage in neighboring McHenry County, pulling the roofs off some buildings and knocking out power to about 9,000 customers, said Al Wroblewski, a regional construction manager for Edison who toured that area Friday.
In Lake Forest, the high winds knocked down trees, sending about half a dozen onto homes in a milelong swath in the southeast part of town, said Deputy Police Chief Gary Wieczorek.
"It was very frightening and scared the daylights out of me," said Troise Lewis, a housekeeper who was sitting at home in the 600 block of Highview Terrace in Lake Forest when a 60-foot tree fell on the house. "It just went `boom,' like somebody was throwing a car through the roof."
In Round Lake Beach, about a dozen homes that flooded in last week's storm saw more water seep into their basements, and several roads were closed, said Police Lt. Doug Westerman. For those residents and others still recovering from last week's flood, the Red Cross will be at the village administration center, 224 W. Clarendon Ave., Saturday and Sunday.
In Waukegan, about 15 apartments in the 2400 block of Dugdale Road were evacuated when several inches of water seeped in.
And in Libertyville, lightning struck a home and started an attic fire. No one was hurt, but a home at 1708 Eric Lane suffered about $15,000 damage, said Fire Investigator Robert Kleinheinz.
At sheriff's patrol headquarters in Libertyville, the storms came and went without a big hue and cry from panicked residents remembering last week, when widespread flooding earned Lake County a state disaster area declaration, said Cpl. Thomas Braze.
"I think we're getting to be old pros at this," he said. "It's getting to be that we ask what kind of a storm are we going to get this week."


The federal government has extended the deadline the Oct. 1, 2021, deadline to May 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Class D road tests will begin again on May 26.
The outage on Monday morning affected services across the country.
Minnesota is now issuing Real ID licenses, but people preferred the standard licenses on Day 1.
Minnesota's driver's licenses and ID cards change on Oct. 1.
The Minnesota DVS is doubling the temporary license period.

Recovery and Recovery Support | SAMHSA
Recovery and Resilience
Resilience refers to an individual’s ability to cope with change and adversity. Resilience develops over time and gives an individual the capacity not only to cope with life’s challenges but also to be better prepared for the next stressful situation. Psychological resilience, the ability to cope with adversity and to adapt to stressful life events, varies widely from person to person and depends on environmental as well as personal factors. It refers to positive adaptation, or the ability to maintain mental and physical health despite participating in stressful situations. Resilience is playing up those protective factors so they can outweigh the risk factors. Optimism and the ability to remain hopeful are essential to resilience and the process of recovery.
Because recovery is a highly individualized process, recovery services and supports must be age appropriate and offered over the life course and flexible enough to ensure cultural relevancy. What may work for adults in recovery may be very different for youth or older adults in recovery. For example, the promotion of resiliency in young people, and the nature of social supports, peer mentors, and recovery coaching for adolescents and transitional age youth are different than recovery support services for adults and older adults.
Recovery and Relationships
The process of recovery is supported through relationships and social networks. This often involves family members who become the champions of their loved one’s recovery. They provide essential support to their family member’s journey of recovery and similarly experience the moments of positive healing as well as the difficult challenges. Families of people in recovery may experience adversities in their social, occupational, and financial lives, as well as in their overall quality of family life.
These experiences can lead to increased family stress, guilt, shame, anger, fear, anxiety, loss, grief, and isolation. The concept of resilience in recovery is also vital for family members who need access to intentional supports that promote their health and well-being. The support of peers and friends is also crucial in engaging and supporting individuals in recovery.
Peer support assists individuals to engage or stay connected to the recovery process through a shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment. Peer support extends beyond the reach of clinical treatment into the everyday environment providing non-clinical, strengths-based support. This relationship can help lay the foundation for SAMHSA’s four dimensions of recovery.
SAMHSA advanced recovery support systems to promote partnering with people in recovery from mental and substance use disorders and their family members to guide the behavioral health system and promote individual, program, and system-level approaches that foster health and resilience; increase housing to support recovery; reduce barriers to employment, education, and other life goals; and secure necessary social supports in their chosen community.
Recovery support is provided in various settings. Recovery support services help people enter into and navigate systems of care, remove barriers to recovery, stay engaged in the recovery process, and live full lives in communities of their choice.
Recovery support services include culturally and linguistically appropriate services that assist individuals and families working toward recovery from mental and/or substance use problems. They incorporate a full range of social, legal, and other services (PDF | 409 KB). that facilitate recovery, wellness, and linkage to and coordination among service providers, and other supports shown to improve quality of life for people (and their families) in and seeking recovery.
Recovery support services may be provided before, during, or after clinical treatment, or may be provided to individuals who are not in treatment but seek support services.
These services, provided by professionals and peers, are delivered through a variety of community and faith-based groups, treatment providers, schools, and other specialized services. The broad range of service delivery options ensures the life experiences of all people are valued and represented.
For example, in the United States there are 34 recovery high schools that help reduce the risk in high school environments for youth with substance use disorders. These schools typically have high retention rates and low rates of students returning to substance use.
Additionally, SAMHSA's Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS) advances effective recovery supports and services for people with mental or substance use disorders and their families.

symptoms, signs, treatment and consequences of breakdowns
The cause may be an excessive load on the nervous system, which is simply not able to process everything. It is important that a person has someone to share his problem of independence from gender with. Health must come first!
Someone is helped by a loud cry or tears, someone is helped by long walks or sleep. If after that the patient begins to feel better, then full treatment is not required. If the state of health only worsens, this indicates that you need to see a doctor to solve psychological problems. Advice to you from experts - take a course of treatment at the center.
What is a nervous breakdown?
Under this concept, a whole group of diseases - neurosis, depression, psychosomatic disorders, insomnia. A relapse is an acute phase of the disorder, which is increasingly sudden. Only a doctor can make the correct diagnosis.
These diseases are more common than the common cold. Most have encountered them at least once. And it is difficult to say exactly how many people were affected by the disease, because not everyone turns to a specialist for help. The risk is very great.
Causes of a nervous breakdown
A breakdown is a defensive reaction to the fact that a person is overloaded, he needs emergency help in response to an external factor. The doctor should consult, the syndrome is increasingly called exacerbated.
Causes - stresses that regularly affect our organs or a short-term shock.
Everyone falls into one group or another. Often people tend to appear:
- constantly thin out for the events that happened to them, or should happen in the future;
- increased desire for work;
- cannot improve relationships in the family, at work;
- with low self-esteem;
- patients with oncology;
- those who are waiting for major changes;
- young parents who have just had children;
- experienced the loss of a loved one;
- failures in personal relationships or in relationships with parents;
- lack of money for a normal existence;
- job loss;
- responsibility with which he cannot cope;
A breakdown starts because of negative events, but problems can start after the most important events - a wedding, a move, a new job, the birth of the first child.
A man has a different degree of resistance to stress. It is easy for one to survive life's problems, and the other falls down from their appearance, begins to show aggression.
Signs and symptoms of a nervous breakdown
Symptoms and signs of a nervous breakdown, depending on the type of disorder, have general symptoms that are characteristic of the types of breakdowns. Among the consequences:
- lack of appetite, sleep, energy;
- constant irritability, restlessness, nervousness;
- the appearance of negative thoughts;
- fear of tomorrow;
- health change;
- constant desire to sleep;
- poor concentration;
- memory problems;
- negative thoughts;
- manifestation of apathy;
- mood changes, anxiety;
- panic attacks, fatigue;
- problems with the cardiovascular system;
A person's behavior changes greatly, but the disease affects all organs. The disease is accompanied by symptoms: headache, shortness of breath, heart problems, poor appetite, pressure fluctuations, mental changes. It is advisable to consult a psychologist.
Diagnosis of nervous breakdowns
Development occurs at the moment when the patient is simply unable to endure the load any longer. The psyche is already simply becoming uncomfortable working in the same conditions, it asks for possible methods of help. And a person endures everything that happens to him, although the state is already reaching its peak. Emotions overflow, at any moment you can expect anything. There are explosions, although everything could be working properly for many more years. But a critical moment has begun, everything needs to be corrected so that your organs no longer experience such a feeling.
It's all the fault of the cause, which was the beginning of the occurrence. The tank was filled very slowly, but surely, and at one moment it simply exploded from overfilling and would not be able to work.
Two patterns of behavior in a difficult situation are observed:
- Explode for any reason. In this case, the patient splashes out his emotions, shows indignation. Strong scandals, conflict situations are characteristic of this type and the reasons for divorce.
- To accumulate all grievances in oneself, as in a large vessel. He endures all insults until the last moment. Apathy towards everything, depression, unwillingness to communicate with anyone may begin. A problem with the psyche begins to appear, unless of course it was absent before.
But how to avoid the danger of overfilling that same vessel, cope with the consequences? This can be avoided by realizing your feelings, emotions, experiencing and accepting them.
Hospital or home?
A breakdown is easier to prevent than to treat. During the breakdown itself, not everyone knows how to calm a person down. A few years ago, to calm the patient, they poured a bucket of cold water on him, unless, of course, there was cold water nearby. If this does not help, you need to contact an ambulance.
Screaming will not help, the person is unable to control his actions. A raised voice can only aggravate what should not be allowed.
Everyone decides where it is better to treat the disease - in a hospital or at home. If, for example, the breakdown was caused due to the situation in the family, then it would be logical to send the patient to the hospital. The psyche may simply not cope if this happens again.
In other situations, being close to relatives can positively affect the patient's well-being. Any drug is prescribed after a comprehensive examination. The patient should be under the supervision of a doctor, many drugs can be addictive. After treatment, it takes another month to recover.
But vice versa, it is better to treat a nervous breakdown at home in women and men. We need to understand what led to this state of affairs. If, for example, there are constant tensions at work, you need to take a vacation or quit altogether, there is nothing more important than health. If the cause was overwork, you need to build a more gentle schedule for yourself, where there will be a place for 8 hours of sleep, a walk during the day in the fresh air, and proper nutrition.
When treating at home, a therapist should be consulted to draw up a plan of action. Treatment within the walls of the house is aimed at relaxing, distracting the patient from the problem. The method is safe for life and health.
The emotional state has a direct relationship with the physical state. If a nervous breakdown was detected, symptoms begin to appear: problems with the heart, with the digestive organs, dizziness. A relapse may begin in a patient who has attempted suicide.
If the problem is not diagnosed, it starts to accumulate like a snowball. The patient begins to have problems in communication, becomes more quick-tempered, irritable, the psychological state worsens.
Relapse leads to drug addiction or excessive consumption of alcohol, promiscuity. The search begins for a method of discharge, getting rid of all the negativity that has accumulated in the form of an internal factor. It is necessary to get the help of a psychotherapist in time.
Specifics of treatment
Nervous breakdowns cannot appear out of nowhere. This is a long-term disease that has not been treated for years, or prolonged stress that the patient has experienced. To get rid of the usual nervous breakdown, you need to reconsider your life, get rid of the cause - treat the underlying disease, limit your communication with those who bring you to such a state.
This is a lengthy process that can take a month or more. There are drugs that will help the patient during periods of treatment. Those who are treated at home without a doctor's prescription cannot even imagine the harm they do to their body.
The disorder appears for various reasons, the treatment of a nervous breakdown, especially in women, must be approached comprehensively.
Non-drug ways to deal with a nervous breakdown
- Sports activities. Sports exercises will help to reduce the ardor and recharge with positive. This method, which has not harmed more than one patient. Sport improves the functioning of the heart, brain, sleep.
- Relaxation programs: meditation, yoga, body massage. Relieve stress, relax the body, get rid of negative thoughts. Do at least 2 times a week.
- Maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As strange as it may sound, it helps. Alcoholic drinks, drugs, coffee - all this affects the nervous system.
- Proper nutrition, essential vitamins.
With the help of drugs and medicines
- Medicine offers drugs with calming effects. Dizziness and heart problems can be treated with medication. These are not pills that will get rid of the breakdown, but you will feel much better. Medicinal use is one of the most effective.
- Preparations based on plant extracts with a calming component.
- Vitamins. In a stressful state, it is especially necessary to enrich yourself with such vitamins - group B, vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, so that depletion does not occur.
- Dietary supplements. They contain soothing plant extracts.
- Antidepressants. Strong drugs that should not be used without prescription in any case. They have many side effects, so they are prescribed in emergency situations.
Recovery of the nervous system after a long course of treatment
In order to consolidate the therapeutic effect, it is necessary to completely reconsider your lifestyle. Particular attention should be paid to nutrition, making sure that the diet contains a lot of fruits, fiber and carbohydrates. In addition, regularly take vitamins after consulting a doctor. Pay attention to reducing the amount of coffee and tea you drink, replacing it with juice. Eliminate bad habits from your life. If a person goes in for sports every day, then his health will be much better. Go on vacation if possible.
How to protect yourself from relapse
The most important thing is to correctly identify the disease and start therapy for relapse from any side. Unfortunately, many people accept the appearance of irritability, insomnia, bad mood and a number of other factors as a phenomenon that absolutely everyone lives with. Therefore, you should not contact a neurologist. But it's not! It is important that loved ones were there at that moment, when it is difficult to survive everything! Experts demand to start treatment as early as possible.
Stress is not a normal condition and needs to be treated! Do not be afraid to disturb the doctor with your trifling questions - sleep disturbance, mental disorders, tearfulness, forgetfulness, memory impairment, dizziness and more. These are all points that can be solved at the formation stage. But if you do not pay attention to them, then you can wait for clinical depression, from which you can get rid of only the strongest drugs, the use of some tranquilizers.
What is a nervous breakdown and how to deal with it? Therapist Answers
Psychotherapist Yulia Artyukh talks about a nervous breakdown in an article on the TUT.BY portal
The most relevant and useful information from the article about schizophrenia on the portal TUT.BY from the psychotherapist Yulia Artyukh :
3 What is a nervous breakdown?
A nervous breakdown is an acute phase of any
(from depression and neurosis to various psychosomatic diseases). As a rule, this emotional state arises as a reaction to some event, life situation - it can be, for example, the death of a loved one or an extremely unsuccessful day at work.
Why does he appear?
An event that provokes a nervous breakdown will have certain criteria, in most cases they all must converge in order for a person to form a nervous state. Here are some:
- suddenness - the person did not expect such an event, he was not ready for it;
- danger - this may be a threat to survival, dominance or the rightness of a person;
- lack of a ready-made solution - a person does not know what to do in this situation, he does not have a strategy, a way to solve it;
- isolation - the person feels alone in this situation.
If not all criteria agree, for example, a person discussed an exciting problem with someone, did not feel isolated or lonely, then it will be easier for him to survive the situation. If there are many such situations without a way out, they go one after another, then a person begins to carry a state of tension in himself . I did not find a solution what to do with it - and he is alone in this. The brain begins to visualize unsafe pictures, a person’s life resources go to zero, and at this moment a state of nervous breakdown sets in: a person’s reaction to surrounding events changes, in addition to experiences, other symptoms join.
If a person is bullied online, will they experience a nervous breakdown?
Of course. He found himself in an unexpected situation, which he perceives as threatening his safety, he does not have a ready-made solution, and he most likely feels isolated in a certain social circle. All this meets four criteria at once, which means it can lead to a nervous breakdown.
What symptoms may indicate a nervous breakdown?
There are quite a lot of them. It could be restlessness sleep disturbances (insomnia or drowsiness), irritability motivations, unexplained pain and general malaise, thoughts of suicide , slowness, etc.
How long can a nervous breakdown last?
Let me remind you that this is an acute phase of the disorder, and depending on what kind of disorder it is, it can be both protracted (with all the ensuing consequences) and short-term if the person has survived the situation. A nervous breakdown can manifest itself in different ways: on the one hand, a person can become hysterical, violent, on the other hand, on the contrary, too passive, withdrawn, isolated. Those around you will definitely notice such changes.
What are the consequences of a breakdown?
Any emotional shock that has not been resolved will trigger changes within the body, up to psychosomatic disorders. Due to nervous exhaustion, changes at the level of the body may begin - tachycardia, pressure changes, sleep problems, hormonal disruptions, dizziness, and others.
How can you help yourself or a loved one in such a situation?
One of the effective ways is to share what you have experienced with relatives and friends. More often, this strategy is unconsciously used by women: they go to a friend to discuss something shocking. In this case, there is no longer a feeling of isolation - a person is not left alone with his problem.
breathing techniques are effective , especially breathing with inhalation through the nose and with noisy exhalation through the open mouth. They quickly bring a person to a normal state. physical activity , taking a warm bath, SPA can also be effective.
Taking a sedative drug is also a solution to a problem for a particular person, but you should not “sit down” on such a treatment method.
Which doctor should I go to?
It is more logical to a psychotherapist , but it is also possible to a clinical psychologist. In the case of a nervous breakdown, both drug and psychotherapeutic treatment is possible. Depending on the person's condition, I would recommend not limiting yourself to drugs: it is important that a person gains experience and skills on how to cope with such a condition in the future. Sometimes understanding and decision at the cognitive level is the most important stage in treatment.


1997 年 28 巻 7 号 p. 772-777
A DSP (digital signal processor) and a feedforward compensation method called ZPETC (zero phase error tracking control) are applied to an electrohydraulic servo system with a nonsymmetrical cylinder to improve on the frequency responses of the system. ZPETC is a control algorithm, rendering the transfer function between the input and actual output close to unity. This algorithm assumes the controlled system to be linear. However, the relationship between the input and flow rate at the servo valve is nonlinear. Another nonlinear factor is added when the cylinder is nonsymmetrical. Therefore, these nonlinearities should be removed. The nonlinearity of the servo valve is compensated for by using the detected load pressure, and the effect of the nonsymmetrical cylinder is compensated for by using the detected sign of the input. The DSP performs the calculations for ZPETC and for linearization. The effects of improving the frequency responses of the system by this digital signal processing technique are investigated.

Nigerian Cardinal John Onaiyekan of Abuja expressed sadness over the fate of the 219 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped more than a year ago by Boko Haram militants.
The archbishop joined Sheik Nura Khalid, chief imam of Apo Legislative Quarters Mosque in Abuja and members of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign during a late-August ceremony that commemorated 500 days of captivity for the schoolgirls.
"I have always identified with this group. That is the reason I came this day we are commemorating the 500 days the Chibok girls were abducted ... Our girls taken from us. I am here because I am worried about the girls whose condition we don't even know. We don't even know what state they are in and it is painful," Cardinal Onaiyekan said, reported Nigeria's Leadership newspaper.
The cardinal, who called on Nigerians to pray for the safe return of the abducted girls, said he was equally saddened by the small number of attendees at the commemoration.
"I thought that this whole place will be congested but I was terribly disappointed. This whole thing doesn't seem to [have] hit the hearts of Nigerians," he said.
The cardinal said he hopes the commemoration can serve as a "symbolic catalyst" for Nigerians to put an end to the Boko Haram crisis.
Sheik Khalid said that his presence at the commemoration was to tell the world that Muslims were always ready to unite with their Christian brothers and sisters to defend Nigeria's soul.
"I want to challenge all the imams that we should use our purpose to fight for the freedom of the Chibok girls. We must tell the world that Boko Haram will never succeed and they are not winning and Nigeria will win this battle. We are peace lovers; we are peace workers, and we shall die as peace workers," he said.
The schoolgirls, between 16-18-years old, were abducted April 14-15, 2014, in Chibok in northeastern Nigeria where they gathered to take a science exam.
Police said the militants kidnapped 276 girls. About 50 escaped soon after they were abducted. Those who did not, it is feared, may have been raped, brutalized, enslaved and forced to convert to Islam.
The incident provoked worldwide outrage. On Twitter, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls began trending and spread around the world.

A fourth man has now claimed that Mayor Ed Murray paid him for sex while he was a teenager.
According to a declaration filed in King County Superior Court, Maurice Lavon Jones claims that he was introduced to Murray as a teenager by Delvonn Heckard, the 46-year-old Kent man suing Murray over allegations of child sex abuse.
"Mr. Murray was known for patronizing child prostitutes at the time," Jones wrote in his declaration. "I am not part of any right-wing conspiracy. I am also gay."
Murray's personal spokesman, Jeff Reading, called Jones's declaration a "sensational media stunt" in an e-mailed statement.
"Mayor Murray does not know this person," Reading said. "This is an ambush copycat false accusation that is being made without any details, evidence, timeline or anything at all to substantiate its veracity. Mayor Murray has never had inappropriate relations with any minor, and Mayor Murray has never paid for sex. This allegation is false.”
Lincoln Beauregard, the lawyer representing Heckard, included in the court filing a photo of himself with Jones, 44, who is currently being held at the King County Regional Justice Center in Kent on a $15,000 bail for a failure to appear on a drug charge. Jones' last known address is a homeless shelter in Seattle, according to a bench warrant for his arrest.
Murray's other two accusers, Jeff Simpson and Lloyd Anderson, made similar claims against Murray nearly a decade ago and maintain they are telling the truth today. Both say they have no political motivations. Murray has denied those allegations as well.
KIRO tweeted that they will be breaking the new accuser's claims at 11.

Today was similar to yesterday in the speed at which it passed by. The main event of the day for us was the chance to have lunch with our friends at the Thai Red Chili restaurant.
We picked up Jim & Karen and headed for some good food. Mike & Marian drove in only a couple of minutes after we arrived. Unfortunately Denny & Jackie were unable to join us today.
The six of us shared a good meal of assorted Thai dishes. Marian settled for spring rolls, Marilyn chose her favorite, Pad Thai Noodles, Karen had her eye on the Duck dish while Jim chose Panay Curry Chicken. Mike and I selected the same dish from the lunch specials menu, Red Curry Chicken. A Hot Cucumber soup was also part of the meal and I discovered that Wednesday is the day when my favorite dish is on the lunch special. Green Curry Chicken is my usual choice and the best I have ever tasted was at the Thai restaurant in Colorado Springs called NaRai. That restaurant is outstanding!
We returned home and relaxed for a while and then went for a walk. Marilyn & I spent most of the remainder of our day reading our books and enjoying some quiet time.
This has been a good day once again and that assures us that Life is Good!

A lot of mothers feel overwhelmed by the choices of baby milk. However, there is no one type of brand of baby milk that is suitable for all babies. Before baby milk can be sold in stores, it has to pass nutritional and safety tests.
Since babies have different digestive and nutrient systems from adults, they should be fed formula formulated specifically for their needs. Baby milk formulas come in three different forms; powdered, liquid concentrate, and ready-to-drink.
In milk formulas, the main difference is the type of liquid. It is recommended for babies who do not have cow’s milk allergies or intolerances to use cow’s milk-based formulas. There are also protein hydrolysate formulas and soy-based formulas for babies with specific food allergies and intolerances.
When it comes to baby formula, there are many types and brands on the market. Make sure you follow the recommended mixing instructions from your doctor or manufacturer. If you do not follow these instructions, your baby will be at risk of getting some unfortunate side effects like constipation and possibly jaundice.
Best Baby Milk Formula for Baby in Pakistan
The first months of your baby’s life are the most critical. The right formula at the right stage will help you have a better experience and make sure that your child is getting all the nutrients they need.

You also need to ascertain how much milk your child can tolerate as well as how quickly they grow (how long will it take for them to go through a feeding container).

Zaxby’s, the Athens, Georgia, USA-headquarterd fast-casual restaurant chain best known for chicken fingers, wings and signature sauces, is bringing out the sweet and the heat with Boneless Wings tossed in General Tso’s sauce served with a side of ranch, crinkle fries, Texas toast and a 22 oz. beverage. Offered at $6.49, the General Tso’s boneless wings meal is available for a limited time until February 28.

The chain recently introduced a new Signature Sandwich in test markets with a choice of Zax Sauce or new Spicy Zax Sauce. The company has plans for a nationwide rollout.
General Tso’s boneless wings are available via drive-thru, delivery and curbside pick-up. Delivery prices and fees may vary. Zaxby’s dining rooms adhere to best practices in health and are reopening pursuant to local, state and federal guidelines.
Founded by childhood friends Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley in 1990, Zaxby’s has grown to more than 900 locations in 17 states


Plug Power Inc. recently announced the acquisition of General Hydrogen Corporation, a leader in the development and commercialization of fuel cell power units that power electric lift trucks and other mobile industrial equipment. The deal, worth approximately $10 million, follows closely on Plug Power's April, 2007 acquisition of Cellex Power Products, Inc., another top supplier of fuel cell power solutions for electric lift trucks. Plug Power plans to integrate the two companies into one operation.
General Hydrogen's initial product focus has been on the larger class 1 sit-down lift trucks that are typically used in manufacturing operations. Cellex Power has focused its initial product initiatives on class 3 rider pallet trucks primarily used to transport and select goods within large distribution centers before delivery to retail stores.
Both companies are developing fuel cell power units for class 2 stand-up reach trucks, which provide flexibility and maximum floor space utilization for large distribution centers. General Hydrogen and Cellex Power are targeting the estimated USD $1.5 billion motive power market in which lead-acid batteries are the incumbent technology.
Fuel cell power units allow users to increase productivity and reduce operating costs through a quick hydrogen refueling process that eliminates the need to change batteries repeatedly throughout the day. They also eliminate the environmental and safety issues traditionally associated with lead-acid batteries.
Large lift truck fleet users typically operate at least two of the three electric lift truck classes in their warehouses and therefore require a battery handling system and associated maintenance labor to meet their throughput requirements. Having all three electric lift truck classes in its product portfolio would enable Plug Power to create a much more compelling value proposition by allowing customers to convert the motive power requirements for their entire fleets to proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology.Interested in information related to sustainable manufacturing best practices?

Bioeconomic Modelling of Raccoon Rabies Spread Management Impacts in Quebec, Canada.
Summary of "Bioeconomic Modelling of Raccoon Rabies Spread Management Impacts in Quebec, Canada."
Beginning in 2006, point infection control operations and aerial distribution of oral rabies vaccines along the US border were performed in Quebec, Canada, to control the potential spread of raccoon rabies. A benefit-cost analysis assessed the economic efficiency of this rabies control programme into the future. In this study, a mathematical simulation model was used to determine the potential spread of raccoon rabies from the 2006 index case, and incidence rates of human post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), animal testing and human exposure investigations were calculated. Benefits were calculated as the potential savings from reduced numbers of human PEP, animal testing and human exposure investigations owing to control, which ranged from $47 million to $53 million. Programme cost scenarios were based on projections of total expenditures, which ranged from $33 million to $49 million. Economic efficiency was indicated for approximately half of the modelled scenarios, with the greatest benefit-cost ratios resulting from reduced future programme costs.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
An acute infectious disease of the central nervous system affecting almost all mammals, including humans. It is caused by a rhabdovirus and usually spread by contamination with virus-laden saliva of bites inflicted by rabid animals. Important animal vectors include the dog, cat, vampire bat, mongoose, skunk, wolf, raccoon, and fox. (From Dorland, 27th ed)
Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent and treat RABIES. The inactivated virus vaccine is used for preexposure immunization to persons at high risk of exposure, and in conjunction with rabies immunoglobulin, for postexposure prophylaxis.
A genus of the family RHABDOVIRIDAE that includes RABIES VIRUS and other rabies-like viruses.
The type species of LYSSAVIRUS causing rabies in humans and other animals. Transmission is mostly by animal bites through saliva. The virus is neurotropic multiplying in neurons and myotubes of vertebrates.
A province of eastern Canada. Its capital is Quebec. The region belonged to France from 1627 to 1763 when it was lost to the British. The name is from the Algonquian quilibek meaning the place where waters narrow, referring to the gradually narrowing channel of the St. Lawrence or to the narrows of the river at Cape Diamond.

Lamaison set for return
May 30, 2000
Christophe Lamaison who was influential in France's drive to the World Cup final last year says he is ready to play for Brive when they take on Biarritz in the French Cup final here on Thursday.
The 29-year-old stand-off has been out of action since April 5 when he picked up knee injury in Brive's quarter-final win over Stade Francais but declared his fitness after a strict rehabilitation programme.
"During these last few days, I have been training intensively," said Lamaison.
"I took some rest following the injury but then worked hard on my upperbody before rebuilding the strength in my right leg," he added.
It is the second serious injury for the international who has been capped 30 times but missed four of the five Six Nations matches in a disastrous campaign for France.
Lamaison became a national hero after a superb performance in France's stunning semi-final victory over the New Zealand All Blacks at Twickenham in the 1999 World Cup before going on to lose the final against Australia.

SEC expands definition of “accredited investor”, granting startups and growing companies easier access to capital.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) adopted a new rule on August 26, 2020, which expands the definition of the term, “accredited investor.” The term, “accredited investor,” defines a subset of persons that are eligible to invest, under certain circumstance, in companies that have not completed the formal registration process with the Commission. The registration process is expensive and resource and time intensive, so any expansion of the exemptions from registration helps startups and growing companies gain access to needed capital.
Until now, whether an individual was an “accredited investor” was based on such individual’s income or net worth, because the Commission believed that wealth was an adequate “proxy for financial sophistication.” An individual qualifies as an accredited investor if such individual either (a) has, or together with such individual’s spouse has, a net worth in excess of $1,000,000; or (b) had income “in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years,” or together with such individual’s spouse had income in excess of $300,000 in each of the two most recent years, and such individual “has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year.”
Following the issuance of the final rule, an individual also qualifies as an accredited investor if such individual either (a) holds “one or more professional certifications or designations or other credentials from an accredited educational institution that the Commission has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status”;  or (b) is a “knowledgeable employee,” “of the private-fund issuer of the securities being offered or sold.”
Initially, the Commission has determined that an individual holding one of the “following certifications or designations administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA)” will qualify as an accredited investor: the Licensed General Securities Representative (Series 7), Licensed Investment Adviser Representative (Series 65), and Licensed Private Securities Offerings Representative (Series 82). In addition to the foregoing FINRA certifications and designations, “the Commission may designate qualifying professional certifications, designations, and other credentials by order.”
The term, “knowledgeable employee” is defined in the same way that term is defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). The term, “includes, among other persons, trustees and advisory board members, or persons serving in a similar capacity,” of a fund that falls into one or more exclusions from the definition of “Investment Company” under the Investment Company Act, “or an affiliated person of [such] fund that oversees [such] fund’s investments.” The term also includes “employees of [such] private fund or the affiliated person of [such] fund (other than employees performing solely clerical, secretarial, or administrative functions) who, in connection with the employees’ regular functions or duties, have participated in the investment activities of such private fund for at least 12 months.”
The final rule also clarifies that the income of an individual’s “spousal equivalent” and the net worth of such spousal equivalent can be taken into consideration when calculating such individual’s income or net worth for determining whether such individual qualifies as an accredited investor. Under the final rule, a spousal equivalent is defined as “a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to that of a spouse.”
Entities can also qualify as accredited investors and the final rule both expanded and clarified what types of entities fall under the definition. The final rule expanded what type of entities qualify as accredited investors by adding certain “family offices” that have more than $5,000,000 in assets under management. The final rule also expands the definition of accredited investor to include “family clients” of a qualifying family office “whose prospective investment in the issuer is directed by such family office.”
The final rule also clarified that certain entity types not already included within the definition of accredited investor could qualify as accredited investors so long as they meet certain requirements set forth in the final rule.
 Amending the “Accredited Investor” Definition, Release Nos. 33–10824; 34–89669 (Aug. 26, 2020) (the “Final Rule”) at 6.
 17 CFR § 230.501(a)(5).
