Choking is a leading cause of unintentional death in infants. Young children not can choke on food as well as objects they put in their mouths while exploring the world around them. Parents of young children and hosts who intend to invite youngsters into their homes can learn how to respond when kids appear to be choking.The Mayo Clinic recommends the following approach when tending to children under the age of 1, which differs from the steps necessary to address choking instances in older children and adults.
· Assume a seated position and hold the infant facedown on your forearm, which is resting on your thigh.Support the infant’s head and neck with your hand, and place the head lower than the trunk.
· Thump the infant gently but firmly five times on the middle of the back using the heel of your hand. The combination of gravity and the back blows should release the blocking object. Keep your fingers pointed up to avoid hitting the infant in the back of the head.
· Turn the infant face up on your forearm, resting on your thigh with the head lower than the trunk if the infant still isn’t breathing. Using two fingers placed at the center of the infant’s breastbone, give five quick chest compressions. Press down about 11/2 inches, and let the chest rise again in between each compression.
· Repeat the back blows and chest thrusts if breathing doesn’t resume. Call for emergency medical help.
· Begin infant CPR if one of these techniques opens the airway but the infant doesn’t resume breathing.
Here’s to a successful 2023!
My name is Bailey. I’m 9 years old and am a husky/ pit mix. My eyes are my best feature as one is blue and one is half blue and half brown. I have taken over the recliner chair in our family room as my own. The only time I have to share is when the grandkids come to visit.

Failure to budget: A budget is the most effective way for individuals to gain control of their spending.That lesson seems to resonate more with young people than older men and women. A 2019 poll from Debt.com found that 74 percent of consumers between the ages of 23 and 38 use a budget to govern their spending, while only 67 percent of consumers between the ages of 39 and 54 use a budget. A failure to budget can increase the risk of spending impulsively and make it hard for consumers to see what’s coming in and what’s going out.That’s a recipe for accumulating debt.
From the sights that you greet to the people you meet, I hope each day of this special season brings peace, joy and light to your heart. I know that your visits have certainly made my year merry and bright.
Thank you for your continued support and friendship.
Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

DID YOU KNOW? When nurses go to work each day, many report to hospitals while others work at private practices. For others, a day at the office takes place at research labs. According to the online nursing resource Nurse.org, research nurses develop and implement studies to investigate and provide information on new medications, vaccinations and medical procedures. Research nurses, sometimes referred to as clinical nurse researchers or nurse researchers, typically have advanced degrees, and many first work as research assistants, clinical data collectors and/or clinical research monitors to gain some practical experience as they pursue or consider pursuing their degrees.Some research nurses even conduct independent research,though Nurse.org notes that such professionals need advanced degrees such as an MSN or Ph.D. to pursue such a path. More information about becoming a research nurse can be found at www.Nurse.org.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I suffered a lower back injury in 2001, with crushed and bulging discs in the L2, L3, L4 and L5 vertebras. After over a year of physical therapy and drugs, my pain doctor tried an epidural injection, which did not work, and then suggested I try something new at that time called a radiofrequency ablation (also called a lumbar facet rhizotomy). It’s done as an outpatient surgery and may have to be repeated.
I’ve done so many that I opt for no anesthesia. It works great; I even get up and drive myself home! I’ve learned to limit my activities, so as to not cause more damage due to my disabled pain receptors.
I have been pain- and drug-free for almost 20 years. The treatment usually lasts nine to 14 months, and when I feel the nerves starting to fire again and cause me pain, I just schedule the procedure and have them ablated again.
Whenever I see somebody walking funny due to back pain, I mention this procedure to them. Several of them have come back and thanked me for saying something.
Doctors don’t seem to promote this procedure, and I don’t understand why. It’s clearly another option besides surgery and addictive medication. It’s been a win-win for me, as opposed to surgery.
Please help promote this wonderful yet “unknown” procedure. I’m still living an active normal life at 64, 20 years after I was told I may end up in a wheelchair. -- M.T.
ANSWER: Radiofrequency ablation of the nerves in the back has been used since the 1970s in people with intractable back pain. The procedure uses an electrode that heats the nerves in the facet joints of the back, stopping pain conduction. This is done when the treating physician is sure that the pain is coming from these particular nerves, called the lumbar medial branch nerves. This procedure is not appropriate for all types of back pain. Typically, the physician will perform a block using an injection, and if this is successful, but short-lived (as is often the case), a radiofrequency ablation is considered.
When it works, a year of relief is typical (sometimes shorter or, for a few, up to three years) before the nerve fibers regenerate, at which point the procedure can be repeated. Burning or numbness around the injection site is the most common adverse effect.
Effectiveness rates in the published literature range from 50% to nearly 100% in small trials of carefully chosen subjects. However, a large randomized trial of this procedure in subjects who were being treated with an exercise program and psychological support did not show a significant improvement in pain or function.
I agree with you that this procedure is safer than surgery, and while I’m glad it’s worked for you, the evidence of benefit from the highest-quality trials is lacking.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
1 jar (16 ounces) Aunt Nellie’s Holland-Style Onions nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons chopped oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes, divided
1 large clove garlic, minced 4 tablespoons sliced fresh basil, divided coarse ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomatoes or olive oil, divided 1 log (8 ounces) goat cheese
1/2 teaspoon Mediterranean herb seasoning (optional) crackers (optional)
flatbread (optional) pita chips (optional)
Heat oven to 350 F.
Drain onions well; pat dry.
Spray shallow, oven-proof dish (34-cup size) with nonstick cooking spray. Place onions in dish. Press with spatula to flatten and crush.
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons basil and black pepper, to taste. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil.
Cut goat cheese into 6-8 rounds. Arrange over onion mixture. Sprinkle with remaining tomatoes; drizzle with remaining oil. Sprinkle with herb seasoning, if desired. Bake uncovered 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is soft and mixture is bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining basil. Serve warm with crackers, flatbread or pita chips, if desired.
Look for recipes with as few ingredients as possible. Dishes that include longer ingredient lists typically require more legwork in the kitchen, which usually involves additional prep steps and sometimes longer cook times. Plus, you’re more likely to already have the necessities on-hand for recipes that call for 5-10 ingredients rather than lengthy lists.
Buy pre-cut vegetables to trim time spent on prep work. One of the processes that can surprisingly consume more time than you realize is cutting,chopping and dicing veggies prior to even really diving into a recipe’s instructions. If you’d still prefer prepping your own fresh produce,try completing your work the night before when it doesn’t interfere with quality time spent with family.
Stock your pantry with the basics to make cooking quicker and easier. From condiments and canned goods to seasonings and spices, keeping the essentials on-hand means less time scrambling for a quick run to the store and more moments spent at home. (Family Features)
On Wednesday November 30, we woke to very blustery winds. We found a Livingston County Deputy in our driveway-apparently he noticed the electrical pole across from our driveway had been damaged by the wind. He had notified National Grid of the problem and stayed while they came to assess the damage. Within 2 hours National Grid had come and stabilized the damaged pole and then returned and replaced it with a brand new pole. We never even lost our power! Thank you so much Livingston County Sheriff and National Grid. Job well done-we are grateful!
On Wednesday, December 14th, for the 10th year in a row, the Riga Recreation "Santa" took to the snowbarren roads of the Town with his elves in search of uniquely decorated homes to surprise those at home with gift cards purchased from local businesses. It is always difficult to choose these homes as there are many worthy choices. However, Santa's little elves pointed out those they felt deserved a Christmas surprise. Special thanks to the Elves of Riga. Merry Christmas to ALL.....and to ALL a Good Night!

It’s absolutely disgusting and irresponsible for hunters to gut deer along paths and dump the carcasses at trailheads. Not only is this unsightly and unpleasant for hikers, but it also poses a potential health hazard. The guts and organs of a deer can contain diseases and parasites, which can be spread to other animals and even humans. And leaving the carcasses out in the open can attract scavengers and create a mess for others to clean up. Hunters need to be considerate of others and take responsibility for disposing of the remains properly.
The most important point you make is that a roof could indeed add more money to the project. Not sure it would take a billion dollars as you suggest, however, a roof makes way too much sense for the Bills and their Western New York fans. Just this past Sunday, facing the Jets in nasty weather, the Bills amassed 18 yards gained on offense in the first quarter. Jet’s defense perhaps, but I think Mother Nature, put up an even better fight. According to Dawson Knox, “the ball is always wet, the wind’s whipping …. don’t know if you call that snow or rain.” Can’t be much fun for the fans, especially when the players are complaining, and the players have heated benches and parkas to help keep them warm. The 4 straight Super Bowls the Bills went to is ancient history – remarkable, yes, but a roof provides near perfect conditions and would, I feel, enhance this Bills team’s ability to strike effectively and more often. Just add a roof to the existing HighMark Stadium. Problem solved!
During a recent visit to a popular retail chain store, I was taken aback by the disarray I saw in many of the aisles. Inconsiderate shoppers had knocked items from their places and left them. Others had abandoned unwanted merchandise far from its original location, such as baby outfits in the Christmas section. Clothes were crammed onto fitting room racks or strewn on the floor. Businesses are already understaffed, resulting in longer lines for everyone and surly attitudes for some. Shoppers, please try to put yourselves in the shoes of overworked associates and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It will undoubtedly save you time and money, with workers spending less time cleaning up and more time on their registers or stocking shelves.

It was recently disclosed that in the rst half of 2022, there were over 1 billion recalls across the country of products that we buy. at’s billion, with a “b.” Depending on the level of the recall, some of them can be extremely serious ... even deadly.
How do we know whether we missed an announcement about a product we own? We can go online to Recalls.gov and look. ey cover everything from sports equipment to electronics, household items and more. You can search on that site by date, the type of hazard and the country where an item was manufactured. I searched for clothing. It was shocking to see a dozen children’s items recalled for re hazard. And the padded rolling desk chair with the legs that can break. And the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms that don’t work. And laundry detergent with dangerous bacteria in it.
To be noti ed about recalls, go to www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Subscribe and sign up for the free email alerts.
If you need to keep up with recalls and alerts for a vehicle, go online to www.nhtsa.gov/recalls. You’ll need the vehicle identi cation number (VIN), which can be found on the door jamb behind the driver door. Or you can search by year, make and model of your vehicle. For the very latest vehicle recalls, Kelley Blue Book also has them listed on the front page at www.kbb.com/recall.
Food is another area where we need to keep up with any recalls and warnings. Search for “FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts” for the latest information on cosmetics, veterinary items, medical devices and food. Right on the front page was a list of alerts for products with undeclared wheat, potential listeria, salmonella and more. In the medical devices it was disturbing to learn of rust on needles.
You’ll see a link there to sign up for alert emails.

DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples,squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.

Most historians credit the Roman emperor Julius Caesar with developing the Julian calendar, designating January 1 as the start of a new year. The Gregorian calendar, which many nations around the world use today, arrived in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII aligned the calendar, not with the moon, but with the earth’s rotation around the sun — marking 365 days.

Outdoor entertaining in winter may be challenging, especially in regard to keeping everyone warm. The following are some solutions that can help people stay warm and have fun outside.
• Fire pits can be great places for friends and family to gather around and enjoy special occasions. They’re readily availablefromgardencentersandhome improvement retailers at a variety of price points. Permanent fire pits can be built by a homeowner or professionally built by masonry experts.
• Outdoor fireplaces add warmth, and improve the ambiance and value of an outdoor entertaining area. Set up outdoor furniture right next to an outdoor fireplace and you have a cozy alternative living room.
• Outdoor heating devices are far more effective than average fire pits or fireplaces. One or two heaters will be enough to keep a large entertaining area warm.
• Guests should dress warmly, but having a basket of throw blankets, scarves and parkas available for extra warmth while mingling is helpful. Use outdoor rugs to insulate from the cold from the ground up.
• Stews, chilis, soups, and other hot foods can help guests warm themselves up from the inside out. Warmed cider, hotchocolateandmulledwinesalsocan be served to help people stay warm.
• Incorporate activities that encourage guests to move around and stay warm.
(NAPSI)—There are about 74 million children in America today and if you’re a parent, here’s something you should know: involved fathers— whether they live with their kids or not—can help their children lead happier, healthier and more successful lives. Children who feel close to their fathers are two times more likely to go to college or find a job after high school, 80 percent less likely to end up in jail and 50 percent less likely to experience depression.1 The small moments kids enjoy spending with their fathers can make a big difference in their lives. If you’re like most fathers, you’re already doing what you can to be a great dad. Here’s a look at five easy ways to keep it up.
1. Spend time with your children.
2. Be a positive role model.
3. Send a text to stay connected when far away.
4. Read to your children.
5. Remember #DadJokesRule!
There has been a massive growth in fatherhood involvement over decades—fathers now spend nearly triple the amount of time with their children than fathers did in the 1960s.2
Recent research suggests fathers are already very involved:
• 90 percent consider their role as a dad to be rewarding day in and day out.3
• 78 percent have talked to their child’s teacher about progress in school.4
• 61 percent have attended a PTA or other school meeting.5
• Over half have helped with a class trip, special project or activity.6
• Over a third of fathers have helped with coaching their children’s sports teams.7
Eventhoughfathersarelargelymoreinvolvedthaninpreviousgenerations, dads today still want to be more engaged. Nearly half say they don’t spend enough time with their kids and want to do a better job at parenting.8
To help more fathers understand the importance of their role in their children’s lives, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families, the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (@fatherhoodgov), and the Ad Council (@ adcouncil) have partnered on a national Responsible Fatherhood Campaign.
“All dads should be supported and celebrated for their efforts on Father’s Day and year-round because we know how the story ends for the kids whose fathers show up for them consistently—these children and families thrive,” says Kenneth Braswell (@braswellkenneth), Director, National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and Fathers Incorporated.
The campaign drives to Fatherhood.gov a free resource that offers information, tools and more. Dads can visit the website for ideas to get involved and stay involved in their children’s lives. Other resources include activity suggestions, homework help, online games and a long list of dad jokes! No matter how busy you may be, make time for your children. It only takes a moment to make a moment.

With a lot of parents facing the challenge of keeping housebound kids happy and healthy, this is the perfect time to teach kids the basics of nutrition and eating right. (Family Features)
HEALTHY SNACK TIME TASTE TESTS: Sometimes it feels like kids can snack all day long on easy-to-grab crackers, chips or cookies. Next time they reach into the snack pantry, try incorporating a taste test or food critic activity to encourage something different and more nutritious.
PURPOSEFUL PLAYTIME: Many households have a play kitchen or some kind of play food. Use this as an opportunity to act out how to create a healthy kitchen with activities like making salad, setting the table, peeling bananas and washing dishes. This can help young children become more independent, learn what to expect and grow into little helpers at family mealtime.
SENSORY ACTIVITY: One idea that can work for school and at home is making a sensory box. Simply place a fruit or two inside a tissue box and have children put their hands inside then try to guess which fruit it is by feeling it.
Suggestions from Melanie Marcus, MA, RD, health and nutrition communications manager for Dole Food Company - www.dole.com
Fruit cake! What do you think when you hear it? Yuck? Either you like it, or you don’t. I’m including the recipe I use, which was originally a raisin cake my grandmother made when my parents got married in 1916. So, it has been around for a while. When I got married in 1948, I asked my mother if she had the recipe for a fruit cake and this is the one she said she used and told me the history of it. She added the other fruits to it, nothing candied, to make the fruit cake that I make today.
325 degrees
1 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
1 cup dates chopped
1/2 cup molasses
1 16 oz jar maraschino cherries (drained and halved)
2 eggs
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple in juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
1/2 tsp all spice
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cloves
1
Mix all fruit ingredients together in a large bowl, then add dry ingredients. Mix well until blended. Put into greased pans, 1 angel food pan – about 2 hours or 2 bread loaf pans – check after an hour, or 5 small loaf pans – check after an hour.
Hope you like it too!

Chargers: Many people feel their devices are extensions of themselves, but such devices won’t be of much help if they are routinely running out of power. Bring along several chargers that can be plugged into your car so you and your passengers can keep your smartphones and other devices running throughout the trip. Though the idea of going off the grid might seem enticing, leaving the world behind is less romantic when you need roadside assistance or are in search of a restroom or a place to pull over and grab a meal. If you want to disconnect from the world, you can always switch your phone to airplane mode. But keeping the phone charged can help in case of emergency.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: is week, many Americans are celebrating their newest gi to the family: a cute puppy or kitten, duck or chicken, or pocket pets like hamsters and Guinea pigs. It’s also a time to form new resolutions in anticipation of the New Year.
I hope that new pet owners’ rst resolution will be to establish a relationship with a veterinarian with expertise in their speci c pet. Some pets need to start or continue a vaccination schedule so that they grow up healthy. Puppies are at risk of contracting parvo virus, for example, so bolstering their immune system is very important.
Your vet also can provide advice and tips for caring for pets. Guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits communicate happiness or distress in unique ways that a new owner may not be familiar with. Puppies are wiggly and energetic. Kittens are curious and fearless. Vets can help new owners navigate these waters and provide regular checkups to help keep pets healthy. -- Dedicated Vet in Boston
DEAR DEDICATED: ank you for sending this! Establishing a care routine with a veterinarian is so important. It should sit at the top of owners’ to-do lists, along with providing comfortable, warm bedding, a clean and safe environment and, especially for puppies, a daily training routine. Mark your calendar with key dates, including checkups with the vet, appointments with a trainer and regular resupplies of food, litter, bedding, and everything else your new pet needs.
Here’s to a happy, healthy and fun New Year with your pet!
Send your New Year pet pics to ask@pawscorner.com, and we may share them in a future column!

Search Engine Land, which covers digital advertising technology, reports 88 percent of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Unfortunately for businesses, Inc. magazine and entrepreneur Andrew Thomas found that a customer who has a negative business experience is highly likely to share that experience by leaving a bad review. On the other hand, someone who has had a positive experience is unlikely to leave a good review. Roughly 10 percent of happy customers say they were pleased by a product or service. Furthermore, Thomas indicates it takes roughly 40 positive customer experiences to undo the damage from a single negative review.
Customer happiness should be the goal of businesses, with the added benefit of helping to generate more positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations. While that is happening, customers can think twice about online reviews.
Speak to product quality, especially when you have a very good experience with an item. Many retailers request feedback via email. Take advantage of this opportunity to o er positive feedback.
Companies gather personal information from customers so they can follow up in many cases. Great customer service helps prevent bad reviews and defines companies’ brands. If you are asked for a phone number or email address, provide it. Doing so helps companies improve their products or services.
Happy customers can reach out to friends and family members to share their experiences with certain companies. Posting your own review on social media also can drum up business for a company you respect.
Customers should weigh their words heavily and think before posting a review. The marketing and consulting resource The Chat Shop says 31 percent of customers are interested in grocery store reviews, 60 percent are likely to read restaurant reviews and 70 percent rely on technology product reviews. Make an e ort to discuss issues with a company before leaving a negative review. You may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. There’s no need to hesitate when leaving positive reviews. Simply explain why you were pleased.
Reviews can make or break a company. Both business owners and customers have a role to play in making online reviews a valuable way to learn about a company.
BY AMANDA DUDEK
Time brings change. If there is a common thread through the human experience, it may be that we tend to nd change a bit frightening – if not outright terrifying. Yet, time marches on. Every New Year’s Eve, we are faced with a fresh year, hot o the presses. Its 365 days are full of changes and the challenges that come with them. How do we face the inevitable? How do we navigate life’s changes with grace and peace?
Faith has been described as believing as fact what cannot be seen, or better, what cannot yet be seen. Some have faith in God, a precious faith that sees us through whatever changes may come, believing that all transpires under the watchful eye of providence. Many have faith in loved ones, friends and family we hold dear through life’s ups and downs. In our family, we nd an anchor, a sense of self, ties to our past, and a glimpse into our future.
Perhaps, faith also means keeping faith with ourselves, with who we truly are. Challenging times can change us into people we don’t recognize, or they can cause us to hold even more tightly to the truths we believe in. ere is an unspoken power in remaining kind, loving, and generous in the face of uncertainty, even adversity.
“ is above all: to thine own self be true.”
– Shakespeare, Hamlet
“Hope is the thing with feathers at perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all,”
– Emily Dickinson
We must never underestimate the power of hope. It has become vogue over the past decade or so to imagine dystopian futures or realities similar to our own but in which everything
turns out terribly, in which humanity struggles against nuclear holocaust, worldwide chaos, a new global ice age, etc. No wonder people are on edge, fearful of the future and of change.
Every now and then, however, a work of ction emerges that suggests a brighter, more wonderful future than we had ever dreamed possible. ese hopeful pieces streak like shooting stars across our imaginations. ey remind us that the future is not set, that it will always be what we make it, and that we should never, ever ignore the possibility of miracles. As Balthasar would have it in the Charlton Heston classic Ben Hur, “...all life is a miracle!”
“ ree things will last forever – faith, hope, and love – and the greatest of these is love.”
– 1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT
is popular Biblical passage is frequently read at weddings. It’s little wonder as it beautifully and succinctly articulates the eternal and transcendent nature of love. Much has been written about love since the dawn of time; its endurance, importance, power, and more. While not much that is new can be said on this subject, perhaps one of the best things to remember is, to quote Reba, “Love isn’t love until you give it away.”
No matter what changes lie ahead, there will always be loved ones, friends – old and new – and people around us who need all the love we can give. ere are no changes more powerful than love, no challenges so strong they can stop us from continuing to bring love into the world and into the lives of all those we touch. It is the love we receive and the love that we give that allows us to face change with gracious attitudes and peaceful hearts.
It is with faith, hope, love, and deepest gratitude that we wish you and your family a Happy New Year!
In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year
Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.
In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, andtheAmericasallrecordedarounda5percentincreaseininternational arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.
Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.
Infrequenttravelersorthosewhohavenevertraveledmaynotunderstand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.
1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.
2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.
3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.
4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective. Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.

Research the job market. Look into the industries for the field you are considering. Is it the right time for success in this field? Industries tend to ebb and flow. Do not leave a job only to find the next career has few, if any, openings. Job growth projections are available through resources like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
* The end of the year is a great time to pick up next year’s holiday decorations at a discount. Before you pack away your holiday lights, ornaments, cards, etc., do an inventory and see if you are able to find what you need to complete your look at a slashed price.
* Computer grocery lists can make not only shopping easier, but organization as well. Keep a file listing all the items you usually purchase from week to week. You can even create sections based on where certain items are located throughout the store. This will ensure you don’t miss something, necessitating a return trip to the store. Stay organized to save money.
* “Keep a small package of antibacterial wipes in your car to clean your hands after pumping gas. Not only is there any potential gas to get off your hands, but these handles don’t get cleaned often, and are very dirty.” -- R.D. in South Carolina
* “If you have extra papers that are only printed on one side, save them. You can cut them in quarters and staple several sheets together to make scrap paper pads to keep near the telephone or on the fridge. They are handy, and you’ll be reusing material, which is good for the environment.” -- U.L. in Missouri
* Putting up new calendars? Before you toss your old one, be sure to look through it for important anniversaries, and cut out and save any pictures or art that might be reusable for craft projects.
Eat a productivity-friendly lunch. If afternoons are when your productivity really starts to drop off, it might be time to reconsider what you eat for lunch. The body, which converts the foods we eat into glucose that energizes our brains and promotes alertness, processes different types of foods differently. So the food you eat for lunch may affect your energy levels for the rest of the day. For example, eating pasta provides a quick burst of energy because pasta releases glucose quickly. But that burst is often followed by a noticeable downturn in energy levels sparked by fading glucose levels that make it difficult for the brain to focus. In contrast, fruits and vegetables aid in the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps the brain stay motivated and engaged. Including some fruits and vegetables in your lunch or snacks may just lead to a more productive workday.

(NAPSI)—Whether you’re looking for a job for the first time or trying to return to the workforce, you don’t have to do it alone.
Thanks to Social Security’s Ticket to Work (Ticket) program, people ages 18 through 64 who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can receive free services and supports through service providers like Employment Networks (EN) and State VocationalRehabilitation(VR)agencies. For 20 years, the Ticket program has provided the support people need on their paths to employment and empowerment.
Angel is one of those people.
The Ticket program helped Angel after injuries to his neck and back derailed his career in the U.S.Air Force. Once he had taken the time to heal,Angel knew he wanted to work but wasn’t sure how his disabilities would affect his options.
“I was a young man with a family to support,” Angel says. “… and I was not ready to give up on the workforce.”
When Angel learned about a job opportunity with a federal contractor, he thought that his disability would prevent him from being a viable job candidate. But then, Angel learned about programs, resources and guidelines that could help him. First, he learned about Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Under Section 503, companies that do business with the federal government take affirmative action to recruit, hire, retain and promote individuals with disabilities. Angel also connected with a Ticket program EN that offered the services and support he needed for a fresh start. His EN helped him find the confidence he needed to pursue the job. Working with a Benefits Counselor at the EN, Angel learned about Social Security Work Incentives that applied tohimand,onceAngelstartedworking, his EN helped him request reasonable accommodations to help him in his new job working on a federal contract for the U.S. Department of Defense. Angel is happy to be working again with military peers, earning income to support his family.
“In the Air Force, your wingman is by your side as you face uncertainty,” he reflects. “…[like a wingman] the Ticket program is by my side,and I’m grateful for that as I look ahead.”
Ticket to Work helped Angel find his path to a better future. Find yours! To learn more, call the Ticket to Work Help Line at (866) 968-7842 or (866) 833-2967 (TTY). Or visit https://choosework.ssa.gov/.

spend considerably more time each day than men engaging in various household activities. According to the 2019 “American Time Use Survey” from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, women spend an average of 2.16 hours each day on household activities, while men spend an average of 1.39 hours on such pursuits.The survey identifies household activities as housework such as interior cleaning and laundry,but also other activities such as managing the household’s finances and preparing food.Women also spend roughly twice as much time as men caring for and helping household members. Such figures may reflect gender roles that date back several decades if not longer, even though family situations have long since changed as more and more women have entered and remained in the workforce. For instance, the BLS survey found that, in 2019, men spent an average of 7.96 hours per day working, while women spent 7.15 hours per day working. Such figures support the notion that many households can share household activities more equitably between spouses.
