Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), a derivative of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, offers a powerful approach to address diverse mental health concerns. ERP aims to equip clients with the skills to tolerate distress without resorting to compulsive behaviors. By providing new information that challenges the client’s initial fear response, ERP facilitates effective coping strategies (Hezel, D.M. & Simpson, H.B., 2019). Keep reading to learn 10 ERP Therapy activities and exercises you can do with your clients in therapy sessions.

Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) can be applied across various levels of care, encompassing several common elements. At the outset, clinicians conduct an intake assessment and develop a suitable treatment plan for the client, taking into account their specific needs and circumstances (Hezel, D.M. & Simpson, H.B., 2019). This stage also presents an opportunity to provide psychoeducation about the client’s diagnosis and ERP, ensuring they are well-informed.
Clinicians collaborate with clients in systematically confronting triggers, both internal and external, that evoke distressing reactions (Hezel, D.M. & Simpson, H.B., 2019). These triggers can encompass anxiety symptoms and obsessions. By purposefully abstaining from engaging in compulsive behaviors or distressing responses, clients work towards diminishing the automatic perception of the trigger as a threat. Relaxation strategies are integrated to support clients in effectively managing the distress they encounter. To explore further, continue reading to discover 10 ERP therapy exercises and activities that can be incorporated into your sessions with clients.
Why ERP Therapy?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related anxiety disorders. There are several compelling reasons why ERP therapy may be chosen as a preferred treatment option:
- Evidence-Based: ERP therapy is considered the gold standard for the treatment of OCD and has a substantial body of research supporting its effectiveness. It is also used for other anxiety disorders, such as specific phobias and social anxiety disorder.
- Specialized for OCD: ERP is specifically tailored to address the core symptoms of OCD, including intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). It helps individuals confront their fears and reduce the need to engage in compulsive behaviors.
- Behavioral Approach: ERP is a behavioral therapy that focuses on changing behavior patterns. It encourages individuals to confront their anxieties through exposure exercises, allowing them to learn that their fears are unfounded or manageable.
- Exposure to Fears: ERP involves systematically exposing individuals to situations, thoughts, or images that trigger their anxiety or obsessions. This controlled exposure helps desensitize them to their fears over time.
- Response Prevention: ERP includes response prevention, which means that individuals are discouraged from engaging in compulsive behaviors or rituals that they typically use to reduce anxiety. This helps break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
- Customized Treatment: ERP can be tailored to suit the specific obsessions and compulsions experienced by each individual. It addresses their unique triggers and concerns.
- Long-Term Benefits: Many individuals who complete ERP therapy report long-lasting improvements in their OCD symptoms, with reduced relapse rates even after therapy has concluded.
- Empowerment: ERP empowers individuals by teaching them coping strategies to confront their fears and obsessions, ultimately helping them regain control over their lives.
- Improved Quality of Life: By reducing the impact of OCD symptoms and compulsions, ERP can enhance an individual’s overall quality of life, including their relationships, work, and daily functioning.
- Less Reliance on Medication: Some individuals with OCD may be able to reduce or discontinue medication use after successfully completing ERP therapy, depending on their specific situation and in consultation with their healthcare provider.
- Comprehensive Care: ERP therapy is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches or support systems, ensuring a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual’s needs.
- Transdiagnostic Application: While ERP was initially developed for OCD, it has been adapted for various anxiety-related conditions, making it suitable for clients with comorbid anxiety disorders.
While ERP therapy is highly effective for OCD and anxiety-related conditions, it is essential to consider an individual’s unique needs and preferences when selecting a therapy approach. ERP may be particularly well-suited for those seeking targeted and evidence-based treatment to alleviate distressing symptoms and improve their overall well-being. Keep reading to learn ERP Activities you can do with your clients.
Mental Health Concerns That Can Benefit from ERP
Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy can be used to treat individuals who are struggling with:
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Some phobias
A benefit of choosing to use Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy is that it can be used at varying levels of care including inpatient treatment programs, partial hospitalization programs, residential treatment programs, and outpatient treatment programs.
Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) can yield numerous positive impacts on clients. Through the effective application of ERP, clients acquire the knowledge and skills to safely manage distress triggered by various stimuli. Although initial engagement in ERP therapy may elicit an increase in distress, clients often discover that their struggle gradually diminishes and, in time, may even subside completely.
It is crucial for clinicians utilizing Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy to possess the appropriate training and experience in ERP techniques. The effectiveness of ERP can be compromised if clinicians employ an incorrect exposure method, such as in vivo or imaginal exposure, fail to address the core fear, or inadequately manage their clients’ mental compulsions (Gilihan, S., Williams, M., Malcoun, et al., 2012).
ERP Therapy Activities
ERP therapy exercises can be used to enhance our client’s clinical experience. ERP exercises can include homework assignments and methods that allow clients to track their experiences outside of therapy sessions, which can then be explored and processed in later therapy sessions.
Examples of Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy Activities include the following:
- A piece of Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy is having the clients track their experience outside of therapy sessions. The ERP Hourly Tracking Worksheet available from TherapyPatron.com provides clients with a form that encourages them to check in with themselves hourly to rate their subjective unit of distress (SUDS) between 0 and 10. They are able to track their experience for a week with one worksheet, which can be a simple resource for clients to hold onto. Clients have space at the top of the form to note their exposure task, the time for each exposure, and the behavior they are working to eliminate.
- Mindfulness meditation can be an effective practice for clients living with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Mindfulness meditation can help our clients become aware of their thoughts without actively pushing them away or judging them. With regular practice, mindfulness meditation can help clients decrease the distress they experience when having troubling or challenging thoughts.
- A second relaxation strategy that clients could benefit from would be breathing exercises. This can include box breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, Lion’s breath, breath focus, and long exhale. Allow time to practice these strategies with your client in the session, and explore their experience. Spend time discussing situations in which they can use the various breathing techniques, and encourage your client to use these breathing strategies outside of therapy sessions when they feel distressed.
- A necessary component of ERP Therapy is to introduce your client to relaxation techniques that can be used to manage the distress they experience during exposures. One relaxation technique that we can introduce to our clients is meditation. Spend time exploring the different forms of meditations, such as progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery, and allow clients to practice the different meditations. Try to be mindful of mental health concerns that may impact a client’s ability to safely engage in meditation, such as a history of trauma, which can have the opposite effect of what we are looking for. Help your client find times in their day that they can begin practicing meditations. Allow for time in later sessions to follow up on their practices and explore any impact they have noticed from it.
- A component that can be incorporated into a client’s psychoeducation would be the specific consequences that they have experienced as a result of their obsessive-compulsive disorder. TherapyPatron.com offers an OCD Consequences to Others Worksheet that can be used to explore the different ways that OCD has impacted the important people in our clients’ lives. This can include ignoring others, hurting others, and embarrassing others. This exploration can help clients recognize the impact that their mental health has on others, and lead to a discussion about the benefits that can occur by addressing their obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
- Introduce your client to grounding techniques. Grounding techniques utilize our five senses to help us step back from negative or challenging thoughts. Allow for time to walk your client through a grounding exercise, and discuss how they can apply this practice to their daily life outside of their therapy sessions. Encourage your client to use this practice as a way to manage their distress and follow up in subsequent sessions.
- Introduce your client to Visualization, a common relaxation technique. Begin by teaching your client what Visualization is, followed by exploring what a peaceful or calm place would be for them. Spend time talking to your client through a Visualization exercise. Allow for time to process their experience and any noticeable effects that they experienced.
- Clinicians who utilize Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy may find that their clients benefit from having worksheets that they can take out of session to remind them of the work they have started in session. Beginning something new can be overwhelming and confusing. TherapyPatron.com offers an Exposure and Response Prevention Worksheet that provides space for clients to write their exposure hierarchy as well as charts that can be used to track their symptoms and subjective unit of distress. These worksheets can be helpful tools that help clients bring information related to their experience into therapy sessions as they engage in Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy.
- The Exposure Homework Sheet provides your client with a template that can be used to track their experience during, and after an ERP exposure. At the top of the form available from TherapyPatron.com, your clients have space to note the situation they are practicing. They then have space to write their subjective unit of distress at the beginning of the exposure, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes after the exposure. This form can then be reviewed in session to explore the progress that they are making in their ability to effectively manage their distress.
- Similar to the OCD Consequences to Others Worksheet, the OCD Consequences to Yourself Worksheet can help our clients name the specific harms that their mental health symptoms have had on their lives. This can include the time that they have lost, feeling humiliated or embarrassed, financial losses, damage to interpersonal relationships, negative impacts on their career, and any social or leisure activities that they have missed due to their mental health concern. This can help clients see the benefits of addressing their mental health symptoms if they are not currently in the action stage of change.

Handloading Black Powder Cartridges
Loading black powder cartridges is easier than you might think, read on to find out how.
Gone are the days when you could easily buy black powder paper cartridges, and it’s a shame as black powder shotguns are cheap and excellent fun to shoot. Fortunately, handloading black powder shotgun cartridges is straightforward and easy, and doesn’t require a great deal of equipment or know how. There’s also something so satisfying about using traditional roll crimped black powder paper cartridges in old guns. Unlike shooting muzzle loaders, shooting black powder cartridges isn't really any more difficult than shooting regular nitro cartridges, so there's no reason not to give it a go!
Black Powder Cartridge Loading Equipment
There’s a couple of different ways you can load black powder cartridges, but this is the method I find easiest. This is the equipment you’ll need to load 12g black powder cartridges:
Choosing a Black Powder Cartridge Load
Choosing a powder and shot load for black powder cartridges is a fairly simple affair. As with loading any black powder gun, the powder must be measured by volume. For this, a powder and shot measure is used. A good starting load for a black powder shotgun is known as a ‘square load’. This is simply, the same volume of powder and shot. This makes loading easy and simple, as you only need one tool. Using No.6 shot will yield a load of about 28g.
The Right Wads, Powder and Cases for Black Powder Cartridges
There’s some argument to using lubricated wads in black powder cartridges. Lubricated wads will soften the fouling and make cleaning easier, but the lubricant can also seep into the powder, reducing or deadening the charge. Shot also has the tendency to stick to the soft wad, reducing the effective load. This can be obviated by using an overshot card under and over the wad, and cartridges loaded this way should always be used as soon as possible. I therefore prefer to use regular fibre wads, I’ve never noticed the increased fouling to cause any problems, and it’s easier just to run a cleaning rod through quickly every 10 shots or so if it concerns you.
Black powder shotgun cartridges are also fairly easy going as regards which grade of powder. I prefer Henry Krank Medium, it does the job with a good velocity, and I’ve never had a problem with it. Medium is preferable over fine or coarse, as fine is a little too quick, and coarse can be a little too slow. There’s also our range of Swiss and Zloty Stok powders which are an excellent choice and best suited for competition shooting.
Paper cartridges are the best and traditional choice. Plastic cartridges can be used, and can be loaded using the same method described below (the Load All will star crimp plastic cases), but they’re not well suited to black powder. Black powder burns rather hot, and can burn through plastic cases, damaging them far quicker than paper cases.
Getting started loading black powder cartridges
The first time you load, you won’t need to prime the cases, as they come pre primed. For future loadings, depriming and priming is easily done on the Lee Load All machine. The first thing that must be done is to charge the case. Take the powder measure, set it to the desired volume, scoop your powder and scrape it off level. Using the funnel, charge the cartridge, visually inspecting each cartridge to ensure each is loaded correctly.
Next, using the Load All machine, load the fibre wad into the cartridge. The machine will provide a consistent and proper force to each wad, ensuring the powder is equally compressed and seated. The next step is to load the shot. This can be done either on the load all machine, with bushings from 7/1oz to 1 7/8oz shot, or using the same scoop as was used for the powder. After the shot is loaded, pop an overshot card on top. Next, the case must be crimped. Insert the cartridge into the roll over crimping machine, securing it with the handle. Apply force to the handle at the base of the case, and turn the crank to crimp the cartridge.
You will have to apply a fair bit of force to get a good crimp, particularly on new cases. Make sure that your cases are crimped to the proper length, for old English shotguns, this is generally around 2 ½’’, though always check the markings on your gun to determine chamber length, and never use longer cartridges than the gun can take. That’s pretty much it. Using this method, you’ll get consistent, high quality black powder shotgun cartridges every time. You'll get about 5 or 6 uses out of each cartridge before the paper crimp has become too frayed to use effectively, you might only get 2 or 3 uses out of plastic cases. If they're looking a bit worse for wear, just throw them out and buy some others.
Storage and use
There’s no reason to store shotgun cartridges any differently to any others, and they should last indefinitely providing they aren’t stored in high humidity environments. If using lubricated cushion wads rather than fibre wads, some recommend storing them in the fridge to harden the lubricant, but I wouldn’t do this, shotgun cartridges still must be stored securely, and next to the milk isn’t an appropriate place.

I've spent my career in journalism, but once upon a time I dreamed of becoming a professional flutist. Unfortunately, practicing both piano and flute really wasn't my forte. And by the time I got to college, I spent more time in the offices of my college newspaper than in the practice booths with my flute. Still, I majored in music and it remains an important part of my life today.
So now that my older daughter is about the age that I started piano lessons, I've started wondering if she's ready to begin. I think she's interested. At least, she's interested in banging out her own "songs" on her keyboard.
So this week, I spoke with Melissa Jeffreys, owner of the Musicians Learning Center
in north Raleigh. Jeffreys will be at the CoolKidz Expo
this weekend. She opened the studio in 2006, a few years after graduating from Meredith College's music program. Like me, she plays both flute and piano (though I'm guessing she took practicing a lot more seriously than I did).
Jeffreys offers private 30-minute music lessons in most instruments from piano and flute to sax, trumpet, clarinet and violin. The studio has ten teachers. Class start for kids ages 4 to adult.
I spoke with her this week about how to figure out if your child is ready for lessons. Here's the interview.
Go Ask Mom: How do you know if your child is ready for music lessons?
Melissa: Usually the best way to tell is if they show some interest. if they go to a friend's house who has an instrument and they say 'Wow ,that's really cool.' Or they hear the song on the radio and say they'd like to be able to do that. The kid will show you they have some interest level. For lessons, they need to be able to sit down for about 20 minutes at a time.
Go Ask Mom: What is a good instrument to start out on?
Melissa: A great instrument for the younger set is piano. Anything they learn in piano will translate into another instrument. It's not a waste of time. It's easy to make a sound [compared to other instruments where it takes time to learn how to blow or bow correctly). As soon as you push your finger down, it makes a sound. If they show interest in another instrument, they already know how to read music, which makes it easier.
Go Ask Mom: How much practice do you recommend?
Melissa: It always depends on the level of the student. But at the beginning, it's only 10 or 15 mintues a day. As the music gets harder, it's takes more. At the beginning, it's all about consistency. Getting it in your fingers and in your head.
Go Ask Mom: How do you encourage practicing?
Melissa: The thing is people are signed up for so many activities. Sometimes school gets in the way, life gets in the way. We'll go back over the things, make sure they understand it. Sometimes it's just a matter of getting past a hump. They get discouraged and sometimes when they get home it doesn't sound as good. We try to keep everything positive. We want them to enjoy music. We want them to enjoy lessons.
Go Ask Mom: Do you need a piano if your child takes piano lessons? Or will a keyboard do?
Melissa: A keyboard will work just fine. Everyone here feels like music is important. We don't want to price you out of that. Especially for the younger kids, a keyboard is more than enough. if they are still commited to it two years down the road, the parents are willing to shell out more money. You just need a basic keyboard in the beginning. You don't need a baby grand in the living room.

Minnesota State Patrol Pulls Over The World’s Most Dangerous Car [PHOTOS]
Is this beater the "World's Most Dangerous Car" or is it an engineering marvel?
Most of us remember the old Ford Pinto, the car that literally blows up if you rear end it right? Now we were pretty sure they weren't on the road anymore, maybe a few in the hands of daring collectors. But on the road? NO WAY. We believed that until we saw this on the MN State Patrol's Facebook page.
On July 1, 2012, an MSP Trooper stopped this old Ford Pinto for unsafe equipment on US 53 in Koochiching Co. Much of the vehicle was rusted out. A tire was actually holding in the front seat. And gas can - which was resting on what would be the passenger’s seat – had been rigged up to the engine. The car was impounded and the driver was cited for a number of violations including; no Minnesota License and unsafe equipment.
Take a look at the gallery below and you'll see why the officer made the stop. So you tell us, is this The World's Most Dangerous Car? Or is it a magnificent piece of engineering work?

The side profile looks better with bigger wheels which includes above 17 inch sport rim for Persona VVT 2016, low profile tyres and lowered sport spring. But need to remember, better looks like this will hamper comfortable ride.
The rear bumper with large diffuser, twin exhaust tail pipe fitted under smoked led light bar tail lamp enough to make us forget the beauty of rear BMW cars. Nice job done and hopefully someone will make this happened rolling nicely òn the road. Thumbs Up!

I made my first Christmas card of 2011 today, a bit of a miracle for me, I'm never early for Christmas. It's probably the only one I'll get done. I'm also entering it in the Try it on Tuesday challenge this week, the theme for this week is The Sky's The Limit.
Saturday, 5 February 2011
This weeks theme on Try it on Tuesday is "Feel the lurve". I'm not too confident when it comes to card making but I really wanted to join in again and this time with a card, so here is my entry. Any advise on card making and die cutting machines would be greatly appreciated as I'm looking into buying one.
I really want to get some cards made but keep joining in swaps for ATC's.......lol! These latest ones are for Lisasparkles swap on Docrafts, it's a Tim Holtz style swap, I've used Tim Holtz inks and some of his stamps for my ATC's. Added a few bits and bobs to give them a bit more dimension.........


Bayern Munich former president Franz Beckenbauer was forced to backtrack on Tuesday for suggesting that Barcelona were going to "provoke and use every trick possible" in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona have their backs to the wall after last week's 4-0 first leg rout in Munich, with Beckenbauer suggesting on Monday that Barca, "with their pride hurt", would resort to dubious tactics against Bayern.
With Barcelona unhappy at Beckenbauer's insinuation, the German football legend issued an apology in a bid to clear the air between the two clubs.
"I'm sorry if my comments were wrongly interpreted," the ex-Bayern captain and coach wrote on his personal website, claiming that all he had intended to say was that Barcelona would be putting pressure on Bayern "but not by any illegal means".
He continued: "I meant to say that the two teams would do everything to make it to the final, nothing more than that. I'm convinced that fair-play will prevail on Wednesday."
This is the second time this month that "the Kaiser" has been forced to issue an apology to a rival team, after he labelled veteran Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon a "pensioner" for failing to stop an early goal in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

I know I said this wouldn’t be a chronological story and I’m sure for the most part it won’t be. Then again a little background wouldn’t hurt…
Once upon a time there were two girls. They were in their mid-twenties, living in Honolulu, and they had become fast friends with a common objective – ‘We must get an apartment so that we can get a DOG!’
So as soon as said apartment was rented regular trips to the Hawaiian Humane Society began. (Nevermind the fact that said apartment had a No Pets policy. That’s another story for another time) One day very shortly into this journey, one girl went to the Humane Society on her own and saw a very odd looking creature. It was about three feet off the ground having climbed the chain link fence gate of the dog run. “What’s that?” the girl inquired.
THAT was a mess of a lump of a “dog,” covered with motor oil and ticks, that had just come in that day. So the girl, who had been hoping to find something more along the lines of a pure-bred pup, asked to see IT. The dog was unresponsive and looked tired, beat up, and old, so the girl took pity. She put her name on a list because there was a waiting period in case somebody came to lay claim. Then she came home to announce to her roommates (there was also a boy in residence at the time) that she had found this poor, old dog who probably didn’t have long left to live so she was planning to bring her home to have a big party for whatever time she had left. (Which as it turns out, is exactly what we did!)
The next day both girls went to see the dog who had been moved from a run with three or four other dogs to a run with just a shepherd puppy to share. She had been cleaned up but now was sporting a gash on her head that we were told she got when she started a big melee with the other dogs in the pen. This seemed surprising at the time.
We took her out of the run to get acquainted but that was difficult because the little dog was so skittish. She mostly just sat on the grass, no eye contact. We gave her treats but she just tried to bury them or at least cover them with grass, which was cute but heartbreaking. The only true sign of life we saw was when we got her to walk near the area where they keep guinea pigs in cages. When she caught sight of them moving around, and presumably got a scent, she really perked up! But it was very short-lived and we just assumed, well she is a terrier of some sort so that’s just instinct.
When it was time for her to get sprung from the pokey, we went to pick her up and on her adoption papers we noticed it read “Age: appx 8 mos”. To which we said, “What?! Are you sure??” We were assured that the vet had determined this through thorough examination so we had no choice but to believe them. But it wasn’t until in the weeks and months to come, when she got BIGGER, that we really decided they must have been about right. By the way, on that last day she had been moved into a private run, all by herself, which was odd because they were at max capacity. They told us that she had turned out to be a bit of a scrapper. To which we said, “What?! Are you sure??” We would find out much later that they were right about this too.
She was a little scared of the car ride, then she walked in the door of the apartment, where she wasn’t allowed, stepped about one foot in the door and peed!
To the best of my knowledge this is the first picture of Kylie in her new home.
She spent three weeks laying on the couch like a potato, getting up periodically to pee on the carpet, then one day she decided she was staying so “they might as well get to know the real me,” and she WOKE up! Suddenly we had a puppy with all the craziness and destruction that comes with that!
To be continued…

How to get pregnant fast
First, consider how pregnancy occurs:
To understand how to get pregnant, you must first understand the steps that occur prior to nidation. Ovulation must occur in order to get pregnant. This happens when a mature egg is released from the ovary, travels via the fallopian tube, and becomes ready for fertilization to the sperm. The uterine lining has thickened in preparation for a fertilized egg. If you do not conceive, the uterine lining will be shed during menstruation, also known as your period.
What You Need to Understand About Ovulation?
- An egg has a lifespan of 12-24 hours after exiting the ovary.
- Normally, only one egg is released every ovulation.
- Stress, illness, hormonal imbalances, travel, or significant changes in weight, exercise, or sleeping patterns can all disrupt ovulation.
- Light spotting may occur in some women around the time of ovulation.
- Normal implantation of a fertilized egg occurs 6-12 days following ovulation.
- Every woman is born with millions of immature eggs ready to be released at ovulation.
- Even if a woman has not ovulated, she may get a menstrual period.
- Ovulation can happen even if a woman hasn’t had her period.
- During ovulation, some women experience mittelschmerz, or “middle pain,” which means “middle pain” in German.
- When an egg is not fertilized, it degrades and is absorbed by the uterine lining.
How to get pregnant fast?
Knowing when you’re ovulating and having intercourse during your reproductive window will help you conceive. Use our free Ovulation Calendar to find out when you are most fertile.
Make use of an Ovulation Tracker:
The monthly cycle of a woman is calculated from the first day of her menstrual period to the first day of her next period. A woman’s cycle lasts 28-32 days on average, while some women have significantly shorter or longer cycles.
The majority of women ovulate between Days 11 and 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of their last period (LMP). This is known as the “fertile time” of a woman’s cycle because sexual activity during this time improves the likelihood of pregnancy. Ovulation can happen at any time during this window and on a different day each month.
- Vaginal secretions have changed. You may notice an increase in clear, wet, and stretchy vaginal secretions just before ovulation. Cervical mucus shrinks and thickens, becoming murky and less visible shortly after ovulation.
- Variation in basal body temperature. During ovulation, your basal body temperature (the temperature of your body at rest) rises somewhat. Take your temperature every morning before you get out of bed using a thermometer specifically developed to monitor basal body temperature. Keep track of the outcomes and seek for a pattern. You’ll be most fertile in the two to three days leading up to your temperature rising. This is the ideal time for sex.
- Ovulation is one of the most crucial processes a woman should learn about her body since it determines whether or not she gets pregnant. Nonetheless, it can be a little tough to grasp.
Increase Your Chances of Conceiving:
- Have intercourse right before ovulation. Sex every two to three days a week, beginning soon after your period ends. This can assist ensure that you have intercourse during your most fertile period.
- Maintain a healthy weight. Ovulation issues are more common in overweight and underweight women.
Lubricants that are good for fertility. Use sperm and egg-friendly lubricants.
Consider taking a multivitamin:
- You should not smoke. Tobacco has numerous detrimental consequences on fertility, not to mention your overall health and that of a fetus. If you smoke, contact your doctor to help you quit before getting pregnant.
- Don’t consume alcohol. Heavy alcohol consumption can reduce fertility. If you’re trying to conceive, stay away from alcohol.
- Caffeine should be avoided. Caffeine use of less than 200 milligrams per day, according to research, has no effect on fertility. That equates to one to two cups of 6 to 8 ounce coffee per day.
- Don’t overdo it on the intense workout. More than five hours of strenuous, intensive activity each week has been linked to decreased ovulation.
How Long Does It Take to Conceive?
- Most healthy couples conceive after a year of having frequent unprotected sex. Thirty percent of all couples trying to conceive become pregnant within the first cycle (approximately one month).
- Sixty percent of women become pregnant within three cycles (approximately three months).
- Eighty percent of women become pregnant within six cycles (about six months).
- Within 12 cycles (about one year), 85 percent of women become pregnant.
- Within 48 cycles (approximately four years), 92 percent of women become pregnant.
- During your twenties, you have the best chance of spontaneously conceiving. As you become older, your fertility starts to diminish. A healthy 30-year-old has a 20% chance of becoming pregnant each month, but by the age of 40, the likelihood drops to roughly 5%. By the age of 45, very few women naturally become pregnant.
How long should we try before seeking assistance?
If you and your partner are having difficulty getting pregnant, one of you may be having a problem. It’s common to assume that infertility affects only women, although it affects both men and women.
Checking His Sperm Count Is Simple:
According to the Journal of Human Reproductive Sciences, the male is responsible for up to 40-50% of infertility in couples. Low sperm count is one of the most common causes of male infertility. SpermCheck fertile allows you to quickly, conveniently, and privately determine if your sperm count meets the fertile threshold at home. DNA Diagnostics Center (DDC), a business sponsor of the American Pregnancy Association, produces this FDA-cleared kit, which is accessible online or at your local shop. SpermCheck is as easy to use as a home pregnancy test, and the results are available in minutes. Remember that other fertility parameters such as sperm motility and morphology are as essential and should be examined by a healthcare professional.
If you’re under 35 and haven’t gotten pregnant after a year of trying, or if you’re over 35 and have been trying for six months, it’s time to consult a fertility specialist.

Snow Globe Multi Frame
Hello friends! Today I have a really neat framed piece to share! I used Our Daily Bread design's latest release, Warm Wishes for inside my frame, and colored with Copics. I added glitter to all the trees but you can't see that! I also added flower soft (Polar White) to the snow on the foreground, and inside the globe I added a few snow sugar crystals. The frame itself is a multi-layered chip board frame by Globecraft Memories. I adhered various designer papers from K&Co Christmas Cheer pad to each layer, and cut with my craft blade. I sponged all the edges with T Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. I embellished with several punched boughs (MS) and some pearls and pine cone stick ons (MS). Here is the stand that comes with the frame:
Here is how it looks in the natural sunlight.... shows the stamped image better but you can hardly see the globe! LOL! This project's greatest challenge was the photo!

Footage of greyhounds "racked up like tools" with no bedding is being investigated by Tasmania's racing watchdog.
Advocacy group Animal Liberation Tasmania released the video, which was purportedly recorded at a property in July, on Thursday.
It comes after prominent greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock had his licence suspended by Tasmania's Office of Racing Integrity last week amid animal welfare concerns.
Video of Mr Bullock's property, also taken by Animal Liberation Tasmania, allegedly showed greyhounds in freezing conditions in tin sheds without coats or blankets.
The new footage was taken at a different property.
"What we see ... is more of the same disregard for the dogs themselves," Animal Liberation Tasmania's Kristy Alger said in a statement.
"No bedding, little to no actual protection from the cold, they're just racked up like tools waiting to be used."
Racing Minister Felix Ellis said the government takes animal welfare matters very seriously.
"The footage posted on (Thursday) has been referred to the Office of Racing Integrity for review and I understand there is an investigation underway," he told state parliament.
"ORI will also engage with the RSPCA.
"If any breaches are identified as part of the investigation ... appropriate action will be taken."
The ORI is expected to publicly release a report once its inquiry into Mr Bullock has been completed.
Mr Bullock has previously been contacted for comment.

It always takes me a while to get my bearings when I arrive at Express Bus Terminal Station, whether I’m there to catch a ride out of town or on my way to somewhere in the neighborhood. Three lines merge here, one bus terminal is two terminals, there’s a department store, two shopping malls, maybe more, and jammed in between all that are shoe shops, makeup boutiques, salons, and even a sauna. I could live here. A couple times I’ve been so turned around that I thought I might have to.
Probably just about everyone in Seoul has been to this station before, check that, probably a solid majority of Koreans, full stop, have been here, as the Express Bus Terminal (고속터미널) is the biggest bus terminal in the country, linking the capital to pretty much everywhere on the mainland. The terminal is divided into two separate buildings, with the original building, where the Gyeongbu and Yeongdong Lines (경부선, 영동선) depart from, sitting on the plaza where Exit 1 drops you off. It’s also accessible directly from the station, though I’ve always had trouble doing things that way.
Inside the old terminal was a smattering of people buying tickets, lineups at the ATMs, some travelers wheeling luggage or shouldering bags, others using the coin-operated internet stalls, sailors and soldiers on break, plenty of folks getting quick pre-trip meals or buying snacks, and the less-comfortably dressed on their way to the fifth floor wedding hall. A few regional tourism signs were up, including one for the east coast province that read ‘Gangwondo, always on my mind.’ Buses were headed to Cheongju, Daejeon, and as far as Busan.
The old terminal is by no means dingy, but looking at it and the newer building across the way back-to-back shows the different Seouls they were built in. In the old terminal the upper floors are arranged like an indoor market, with floors dedicated to curtains and drapes, flower shops, bedding, and clothing. Conversely, the new terminal, serving the Honam Line (호남선), is attached to a Shinsegae department store and incorporated into the Central City complex.
From Exit 8 I walked across the plaza, past the Queen’s Guards and Swiss Guard statues posted on either side of the Shinsegae entrance, to the Central City/new terminal front doors. There’s something a bit odd about the lighting inside the station, and even in the middle of a good day it feels dim inside. Like the original terminal there are plenty of small places to eat, but more of them are chain restaurants, and things generally feel slightly less bus terminal-y, as there are as many shoppers here as there are travelers. Coaches bound for Gwangju or Haenam waited in their slots outside the terminal’s Lego-like red gates, but there were as many shopping bags as there were suitcases, and I spotted two guys with matching nose braces and masks, apparently just having gotten nose jobs together. To the left of the terminal entrance were the doors to Shinsegae and access to the attached Marriott Hotel, while downstairs was Young Plaza with the usual Megabox, Uniqlo, Bandi & Luni’s lineup.
A while back we were just down the street, at Banpo Station, and crossed through the space beneath the Sinbanpo-ro (신반포로) – Jamwon-ro (잠원로) intersection, marked as Gangnam Underground Shopping Center (강남지하상가) on the local map, hoping to find something, anything that might be going on in that ‘hood. At the time though, it was just an empty space, plywood and dim concrete halls. Now it’s part of the bright, lively GoTo Mall, which stretches under the bus terminal all the way to the Sinbanpo-ro – Banpo-ro (반포로) intersection a couple of long Gangnam blocks to the west. At that end, closest to Exit 8 or 8-1, was a collection of snack shops, boutiques, a bubble tea joint, and a cylindrical aquarium where a number of fish did fish things. The other end, nearest Exit 1 or 8-2, was a small food court, a fountain pool, and several flower shops that gave the mall a sweet aroma.
On the street above, the side of Sinbanpo-ro opposite the terminal is fronted by five-story buildings filled with shops, real estate offices, and hagwons. A disproportionate amount of the retail space is taken up by a variety of Christian shops. There were religious bookstores, places selling wooden crosses and Christian CDs, a shop called the Korea Protestant Department Store, and one store with choir robes displayed in its window.
The blocks between these stores and the river are occupied by apartment complexes, but bypassing these it’s a quick walk to the Han River Park (한강공원) by turning right down Banpo-ro from Exit 8-1. Newer buildings to the right, older ones in paint-flaking domino rows to the left, the sidewalk leading north is dotted with tiles pointing the way to the park and showing images of historical sites in the area. As you near the point where the Banpo Bridge begins you can either continue along the sidewalk to a set of stairs that leads down to the park, or you can cross to the middle of the road and take the ramp that does the same, the latter route leading past graffiti of laughing kids, a smooching fish and whale, and portraits of what looked like Chinese deities.
The park was predictably empty in mid-February, the grass still two-thirds covered in snow, though a handful of expats were out playing football, two bikers were taking a break under a canopied rest area, a man on a thick-wheeled unicycle rolled by, and a woman walked a pair of bichon fries that were both spotless white from their haunches up and coated a muddy brown below that. In warm months, however, this is one of the most popular stretches of the park, in part because of the Banpo Bridge Moonlight Rainbow Fountain (달빛무지개 분수), which is recognized by Guinness as the world’s longest bridge fountain, though just how deep that field is is not something I’ve ever heard the Korea Tourism Organization mention in the same breath. Competition (or lack thereof) aside, the fountain is pretty impressive, with nearly 400 nozzles and 200 lights and it’s certainly a nice backdrop to an evening picnic or date, though I’m personally of the opinion that if you’ve seen it once, well, you’ve seen it.
The stretch of the park below the bridge is called Moonlight Square (달빛광장) and from there you can see the gilt wedge of the 63 Building and the red and white spire of N Seoul Tower. In the river in front of the square are the Floating Islands (세빛둥둥섬), though the joke goes that they should really be called 세금둥둥섬, the Floating Tax Islands.
The Islands, a pet project of former mayor Oh Se-hoon (오세훈), are a trio of buildings on floating bases anchored to the river bottom, heralded as the first such constructions in the world. They were intended to function as meeting, convention, exhibition, entertainment, and recreational space, and were officially opened in June 2011 with a Fendi fashion show. Since then, however, they’ve done little but court controversy. Beset by construction and maintenance problems and unable to find a subcontractor to manage them, they’ve fallen into semi-neglect. The most recent twist in the tale came in mid-February when the Korean Bar Association requested an investigation be opened into Oh’s handling of the islands’ construction and contractual deals, as there are allegations of financial mismanagement. Oh, for his part, has blamed current mayor Park Won-soon (박원순) for not opening the islands to the public. And everyone is upset about what’s (not) happening with their tax dollars.
A pair of security guards was stationed in the booth at the entrance to the footbridge leading over the jade-colored river to the first island, but they had no problems with letting me walk out for a look around. I was the only one looking to do so. Sections of uncompleted or faulty walkway were attached to the side of the island and the first building was completely empty inside. I couldn’t see if the situation was the same with the other two buildings because the footbridges to them were blocked off, so instead I sat down in a funnel-shaped chair and just looked at the buildings and the river for a bit. They were pretty things, the islands, their aqueous curves graceful and well-harmonized with the river, and I hoped that they wouldn’t turn into a boondoggle. If they reached their potential they’d undoubtedly be a welcome addition to the city, but whether that would happen or not seemed rather uncertain at the moment.
The Express Bus Terminal is penned in by large roads, and the area immediately surrounding it is more suited to vehicles than pedestrians, but short walks southwest of the station from Exit 5 lead to areas that offer a bit of respite from the noise and fumes.
Just outside the exit are the headwaters of the Banpo Stream (반포천), a quiet little waterway that empties into the Han near Dongjak Bridge. Here there’s a walking path and some stepping stones that cross the stream. Across Sapyeong-dae-ro (사평대로) is Sorae Park (서래공원), which is less of a park than it is a spot for the area’s businessmen to take a break on one of the benches and grab a cigarette. Sculptures of horses gallop through a fountain pool, shaded by nearby trees.
If you pass the park and continue south along Banpo-ro, passing Catholic University (가톨릭대학교), you’ll eventually arrive at the National Library of Korea (국립중앙도서관). The first thing you’ll see is the black glass façade of the relatively new National Digital Library of Korea, or Dibrary, which opened in 2009. Inside, I was greeted by a little garden of digital screens displaying changing images of flowers. A section of the wall behind them had white on black Chinese and Hangeul characters in glass, which served as a stark contrast with all the high tech gadgetry around them. There were of course computers and laptop stations, but also kiosks where visitors could browse newspapers and a few magazines on touchscreens. Upstairs was a huge spread of computer stations, both desktop and laptop, along with meeting rooms; multiplexes where groups could watch videos; a Digital Editing Zone for video and image editing; and video and audio studios for producing and recording. I hadn’t been to a library in a long time, and the near-perfect silence was startling, especially in a tech-oriented space in a city as buzzing as Seoul.
The Dibrary elevator took me up to the first floor, which put me on a plaza in front of the main library. Large green letters across the top of the building read ‘국립중앙도사관 www.nl.go.kr’ and looking out from the middle of the ‘g’ as if to survey those entering its building was a lone magpie, which had built its nest there.
To enter interior of the library I had to register for a library card, which is available to any expat with an Alien Registration Card and is a piece of cake to get. Computers near the entrance let you register (in English) on the library’s website and after you do so the librarian on duty will give you a day pass for use that day. The next time you come back your card will be ready to pick up.
I wandered upstairs through the different sections of the library, which, all told, holds over 7.5 million items. Newspapers and government publications were on the third floor and material related to the sciences on the fourth. On the fifth floor was the maps and geography room, which was one of three areas I was looking forward to checking out. I can look at maps for hours, especially old ones, which, in the heroic endeavors that went into creating them and in their utter wrongness, strike me as both awe-inspiring and hilarious. Unfortunately, though, I had come on a Sunday, and the maps room isn’t open on weekends. Nor was one of the other areas I wanted to visit: the Information Center on North Korea (북한자료센터).
Thankfully, I was only 67% out of luck, because the Old and Rare collection on the sixth floor was open. In display cases by the door were an anthology of Zen teachings from 1377 and a Dharani sutra wood block print from 751. Inside, a half-dozen old men sat at tables flipping through even older books, and stacks of yellowed and worn books, most bound with string, lined rows of wood and glass cabinets. In the center of the room was a temporary display of materials from the Joseon era that included answers to exam questions and study manuals for those preparing for medical, military, and astronomical tests.
Just past the library you’ll notice the pedestrian Silkworm Bridge (누에다리) crossing high above Banpo-ro. Ten white rings provide the frame for white wiring, resulting in a structure that resembles the animal so closely associated with this part of Seoul. Climb up the steps leading up to the bridge and you’ll find yourself in Montmartre Park (몽마르뜨 공원), a pleasant hilltop park that offers unexpectedly fine views off to the southeast and southwest. Near the entrance was a spot that I believe is actually used as a reference point for GPS systems and making maps. Square stones around it signaled the directions of and distances to several cities around the world, including Washington D.C., Pyongyang, Singapore and Berlin. A number of people were walking their dogs around the path running along the hilltop, and four built or partially-built snowmen still dotted the field in its center.
Also near the Express Bus Terminal is the well-known Sorae Village (서래마을), or Sorae Maeul, which is a ten-minute walk from Exit 5. After walking west on Sapyeong-dae-ro turn left into Sorae-ro (서래로).
Sorae Village is also commonly known as the French Village thanks to the French influence that comes with the presence of the Lycée Français de Séoul at the end of Sorae-ro (the school crossing outside of which has its sign written in French, in addition to Korean and English). If you’re expecting a little slice of Paris when you show up, however, you might come away disappointed. I asked my girlfriend if the area felt French to her, and she responded by saying it felt more Japanese, which I kind of got. Japan certainly isn’t a four-week vacation, three-hour dinner kind of place like France is, but people are in less of a hurry there, more ready to savor things, and the little bit of Continental influence in the neighborhood seems able to tug Seoul about that far, if not any further.
To be sure, though, Sorae Maeul has a vibe unto itself, distinct from the rest of Seoul, and while it’s not French exactly, it seems like here, at least, people have some sort of understanding of la bon vie, of the pleasurable things in life and that sometimes what you should do is better not done in favor of what you would like to do. In some ways, the area’s reputation for charm is self-fulfilling: its reputation is that it’s a place to catch a whiff of Europe, so people come here to eat, drink, and get away from the more hectic parts of the city, which actually creates an atmosphere that’s more European and makes it a place to eat, drink, and get away from the more hectic parts of the city. No one comes here to conduct business. They come here to avoid conducting business, and to indulge in the preponderance of cafes, wine bars, and international restaurants.
As I strolled up and down the main street and along some of the back streets, a couple towheaded boys passed by babbling in French, shoppers wandered in and out of fashion and craft boutiques, people looked over the offerings at bakeries, and, perhaps most notably, nobody seemed in any particular rush to get anywhere. Sorae Maeul may not be a ticket to de Gaulle, but it’ll do.

Study Finds Children With Autism More Sedentary Than Those Without the Disorder

The fitness tests were selected in part because they are commonly used in schools, MacDonald said. Children in the study also wore accelerometers for a week to measure their movement, and parents filled out supplemental forms to report other important information.
Even though they were more sedentary, the children with autism lagged behind their peers on only one fitness measure, the strength test. The results were surprising but also encouraging because they show that children with autism are essentially on par with their peers when it comes to physical fitness activities, MacDonald said.
“That’s really important for parents and teachers to understand, because it opens the door for them to participate in so many activities,” she said.
More research is needed to determine why children with autism tend to be more sedentary, MacDonald said. It may be that children with autism have fewer opportunities to participate in organized sports or physical education activities, but if that is the case, it needs to change, she said.
“They can do it. Those abilities are there,” she said. “We need to work with them to give them opportunities.”
MacDonald encourages parents to make physical activity such as a daily walk or trip to the park part of the family’s routine. She’s also an advocate for adaptive physical education programs, which are school-based programs designed around a child’s abilities and needs. Some communities also offer physical fitness programs such as soccer clubs that are inclusive for children with autism or other disabilities, she said.
“Physical fitness and physical activity are so important for living a healthy life, and we learn those behaviors as children,” MacDonald said. “Anything we can do to help encourage children with autism to be more active is beneficial.”

All of the scientists, engineers, pilots, and crew onboard the NASA DC-8 and the NASA Airborne Science Program support staff on the ground were deeply saddened by the launch failure of the Glory satellite. For more information about the specifics of what went wrong, watch the NASA news conference. For information on what the loss of Glory means to climate science, see here.
The NASA DC-8 left its home base at the NASA Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility in California at 9:47PM PST.
Boarding the NASA DC-8 before takeoff (March 4, 2011 8PM)
The DC-8 flew 1800 miles south to 7.5N 120W (a spot over the Pacific Ocean 2800 miles off the coast of Panama) where it circled for approximately thirty minutes at 41,000 ft, waiting to track the launch at 2:09 AM PST.
NASA DC-8 flight track (red line). The DC-8 tracked Glory’s launch while flying at 41,000 ft at 7.5S 120W
Instruments installed on the DC-8 by the KTech Corporation first detected Glory approximately four minutes after launch and tracked it for ten additional minutes. The failure of the fairing (a protective cover) to separate approximately three minutes after launch was revealed in Glory’s unexpected trajectory.
Telemetry data collected by the NASA DC-8 and from other locations will be used to better understand what went wrong.

|The NASA ER-2 in flight
After the ER-2 returned, instrument scientists from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center were literally jumping and yelling for joy in the hangar at Dryden when they took their first look at the data!
Wind profile data collected by TWiLiTE will be important for analyzing atmospheric dynamics, for weather predictions, and for understanding Earth’s hydrological cycle. Data reduction and processing is now in progress. The data will also be compared with ground validation measurements to verify TWiLiTE’s performance.

(Statewide Thruway Bus Network)
The San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority has adopted a series of changes to its Thruway Bus Network that will take effect on August 1, 2020.
The COVID-19 crisis has severely impacted public transportation ridership throughout California. Although San Joaquins ridership is beginning to rise, it will take time for California to fully recover from the impacts of this pandemic and for transportation demand to return to previous levels. The San Joaquins rail service operations have been reduced from 7 daily round-trips to 4 daily round-trips, and thruway bus service has been reduced on several routes.
“We are proud to continue to provide transportation service to our communities for essential travel during this crisis, but there is no doubt that additional cuts and cost-savings measures are needed at this time to align our service levels to current and near-term ridership demand,” said Stacey Mortensen, Executive Director of the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority. “We see these route changes as a necessary step due to constraints on state budgets and severely reduced ridership and revenue. Additionally, these service changes offer an opportunity to refine our network so that it is best aligned with ridership needs and will position us as a stable transportation service in the long-term.”
The San Joaquins Thruway Bus Network is extensive throughout California and includes 14 routes that extend as far north as McKinleyville and Redding, and as far south as San Diego, southeast to Las Vegas and Indio, and southwest to Santa Barbara. The Thruway Bus Network has operated largely unchanged for decades. But now many of the San Joaquins Thruway Bus routes, which were once cost-effective, are now costing considerably more to operate than the total revenue that they generate.
The SJJPA is taking steps based on data and analysis to better align the Thruway Bus service with current and projected ridership needs. Some routes are being truncated with stops being moved or eliminated, while other routes will be suspended indefinitely. These changes are being made carefully to protect the most highly utilized routes and markets so that there is the least potential impact on San Joaquins riders.
New partnerships with public transportation operators and minor route improvements (such as new or relocated stops) may also help increase ridership and improve long-term cost effectiveness.
The San Joaquins Thruway Bus Network will remain a vital part of the San Joaquins operations and will become even more important in the future when providing feeder service to the Merced-Bakersfield HSR Interim Operating Segment.
A summary of the route changes is below:
• Route 7 (Martinez-Napa-Santa Rosa-Eureka-McKinleyville): Service is being truncated at Arcata. Stops are being eliminated at McKinleyville and Rio Dell-Scotia. One additional round-trip is being added to serve Martinez-Vallejo-Petaluma-Rohnert Park-Santa Rosa. Humboldt Transit will provide a free connection for Amtrak San Joaquins riders to utilize their transit system to McKinleyville (from Arcata) or Rio Dell-Scotia (from Fortuna).
• Route 12 (Bakersfield-Victorville): This route has been suspended indefinitely.
• Route 18b (Hanford- Visalia): Service between Hanford and Visalia is being terminated on Route 18b. Riders can still travel on Route 18a between Hanford and San Luis Obispo/Santa Maria.
• Route 19 (Bakersfield-Riverside-Hemet/Bakersfield-Riverside-Palm Springs-Indio): Service is being truncated at San Bernardino. Three daily round trips will stop at La Cresenta, Pasadena, Claremont, Ontario, Riverside, and San Bernardino. Stops are being eliminated at Cabazon, Palm Springs (Airport), Palm Springs (Downtown), Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indio, Moreno Valley, Perris, Sun City/Menifee, Hemet, Hemet (Simpson Center). Passengers will instead be able to utilize Pacific Surfliner buses from San Bernardino to Palm Springs and can book their tickets at the AmtrakSanJoaquins.com, Amtrak.com, and the Amtrak App.
The most current schedules and station information can be found at www.AmtrakSanJoaquins.com.
About the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA)
Since July 2015, SJJPA has been responsible for the management and administration of Amtrak San Joaquins. SJJPA is governed by Board Members representing each of the ten (10) Member Agencies along the 365-mile San Joaquins Corridor. For more information on SJJPA see www.sjjpa.com.
Amtrak San Joaquins is Amtrak’s 6th busiest route with 1.1 million annual riders and 18 stations providing a safe, comfortable and reliable way to travel throughout California. Prior to service modifications due to the COVID-19 crisis, Amtrak San Joaquins ran 7 daily train round-trips and its Thruway buses provided connecting service to 135 destinations in California and Nevada including Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Napa Valley, Las Vegas and Reno.
