"Triangle of Life"

This info I received from my aunt.

Considering the increase of natural disasters, or at the very least, the reports of them, in addition to the recent crane collapses, I thought this was worth sharing.

Please read this and pass the info along to your family members; it could save their lives someday!

EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP'S ARTICLE ON THE: "TRIANGLE OF LIFE"

My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world's most experienced rescue team. The information in this article will save lives in an earthquake.

I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries.

I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation for two years. I have worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985, except for simultaneous disasters.

The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico City during the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under its desk. Every child was crushed to the thickness of their bones. They could have survived by lying down next to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary and I wondered why the children were not in the aisles. I didn't at the time know that the children were told to hide under something.

Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them. This space is what I call the "triangle of life". The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured. The next time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the "triangles" you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see, in a collapsed building.



TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY

1) Most everyone who simply "ducks and covers" WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE are crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.


2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.


3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.


4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on The back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.


5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.


6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!


7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different "moment of frequency" (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

8) Get Near the Outer Walls Of Buildings Or Outside Of Them If Possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.


9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.


10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.


Spread the word and save someones life... The Entire world is experiencing natural calamities so be prepared!


"We are but angels with one wing, it takes two to fly"

In 1996 we made a film, which proved my survival methodology to be correct. The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul , University of Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this practical, scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home with 20 mannequins inside.. Ten mannequins did "duck and cover," and ten mannequins I used in my "triangle of life" survival method. After the simulated earthquake collapse we crawled through the rubble and entered the building to film and document the results. The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques under directly observable, scientific conditions , relevant to building collapse, showed there would have been zero percent survival for those doing duck and cover.

There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method of the "triangle of life." This film has been seen by millions of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe , and it was seen in the USA , Canada and Latin America on the TV program Real TV

Listerine as Bug Spray????

I don't know if this is true or not, but I received the following information via email and thought I would share......can't hurt to try it. Listerine definitely is cheaper than bug spray.

If you've tried this, let us know if it's worked or not.

Using LISTERINE as Mosquito Repellent

Mosquito Spray...Worth a try!

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared.

The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well.

It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing water nearby.

During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on.

OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes.

So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.

Field Day Festivities Rescheduled

Due to the inclement weather, Washington Elemenary School's Fieild Day has been rescheduled for Friday, May 30th.

In a show of school pride and unity, Mrs. Michelle Gadaletta, Washington Elementary School principal, has arranged for the faculty and staff to perform a "school dance" at the close of field day activities on Thursday, May 22, 2008 between 2:15 p.m. and 2:45 p.m.

Families, friends, and the community as a whole are invited to join the festivities at 176 Mohawk Avenue Hawthorne, NJ.

Be sure to come see our school spirit!

Lose Weight Like a Guy!

I came across the following article and based on the very "sane" advice, thought I would share.

I know that personally, I really get down on myself, and/or "off track" by every little set-back when it comes to working out, eating right and losing weight.

Lose Weight Like a Guy

He drops pounds overnight. You gain just by glancing at cheesecake. Here are the reasons for his success.

Provided by Prevention

Think the most infuriating thing a guy can say to you is, "Yeah, it does make your butt look big"? Wrong.

The one phrase that can turn any relationship into a nuclear winter is: "I need to drop 5 pounds--I'll cut out the beer."

And here is the ugly truth: One beerless Patriots game and your guy is back in his high school gym shorts. You could forgo beer forever and be about as close to getting into your high school gym shorts as you are to fitting into one of Barbie's dream gowns. It's not fair.

Face it, guys are just losers. Well, better losers than we are. Even though we'd knock 'em dead in the Jeopardy! weight loss category--we know everything there is to know about calories and fitness--they have the physiological edge. When Paul Tasner decides to drop a few pounds, says his wife, Barbara Walter, an ambulatory surgery nurse and a wellness coach in the San Francisco area, it seems to happen overnight: "It looks like he had a belly suit on, and then a day later, he takes it off and there's a slim guy underneath. It really pisses me off."

Men's bigger muscle mass--in fact, their bigger-ness overall--helps them burn 30% more calories than we do, says nutritionist Cynthia Sass, RD, coauthor of Your Diet Is Driving Me Crazy. They have other advantages, too: For one, their hormones don't leave them waterlogged--and heavier--1 week a month. We generally have more body fat and are biologically more inclined to store it (possibly to nourish those dozen babies nature wants us to have). The bad habits guys overcome (beer and chips) seem to result in instant weight loss, while ours (mistaking a box of Ring Dings for a therapist) seem too emotionally hardwired to short-circuit. Finally, in the gym, they grab the big, macho barbells and do routines that make them grunt. Our weights tend to be pink...and puny.

But all is not, ahem, lost. We women may never have the biological or psychological weight loss advantages men enjoy, but we are clever enough to learn new tricks. In other words, if there's no way to beat them at the dieting game, we might as well join them. Here are five guy habits that can help you lose weight--and keep it off. Happily, none of them involves testosterone.

THE GUY THING

He doesn't crave sweets

Both men and women have cravings, and no, he doesn't have an easier time fighting them off. But your comfort food is likely to be chocolate, pudding, or a cheese Danish, while his is a thick, juicy steak. A recent Cornell University study found that women seek out sweets to ward off the blues; men turn to meat when they want to indulge. The advantage of his choice: It's protein, which will help fill him up far better than your coffee cake. A study published last year by researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine found that the secret weight loss weapon of low-carb diets is protein, because it promotes satiety, the scientific term for fullness, which curbs overeating.

If cravings are your downfall, you have a choice of tactics here:

Eat a little protein When a craving hits, have low-fat string cheese, a low-fat turkey and cheese roll-up, or fat-free cottage cheese mixed with some cut-up fruit instead of a sweet.

Have protein-packed chocolate

Take a tip from Prevention weight loss advisor Holly Wyatt, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center: "When I'm craving chocolate, I have a chocolate-coated energy bar or another similar protein bar for 210 calories. I've gotten to the point where that tastes like candy to me." But not so good that she starts in on a second.

THE GUY THING

He doesn't berate himself when he screws up

Okay, you blew it. You had PMS, or your accountant called with news of a surprise audit, and the jelly doughnut hollered, "Eat me!" What do you do next? If you're a woman, you throw up your hands, tell yourself what a bad person you are, and reach for another doughnut. Then you wallow in self-loathing for days. And what does a guy do? "He feels okay, maybe even good, and really enjoys that steak," laughs emotional-eating expert Edward Abramson, PhD, a professor emeritus of psychology at California State University and author of Body Intelligence. But he doesn't order another one--he climbs back on the weight loss wagon, no harm, no foul. The best way to beat that diet-busting trap:

Apply his 80% rule "Most guys avoid anything that even smacks of perfectionism," and that applies to dieting, too, says Pamela Peeke, MD, an assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and author of Body for Life for Women. "When women start a diet, they go from zero to 100--they become 'perfect' overnight, which is a hallmark of failure. That's why I developed the 80% rule: Hit your weight loss goals 80% every single day you can. One day, it'll be 120% because it happens to be a great day. Other days, you'll hit 50% or even 20% when you're dealing with PMS. Just make sure it averages out to 80%."

Come see our spirit!!!

In a show of school pride and unity, Mrs. Michelle Gadaletta, Washington Elementary School principal, has arranged for the faculty and staff to perform a "school dance" at the close of field day activities on Thursday, May 22, 2008 between 2:15 p.m. and 2:45 p.m.

Help Save our State Parks!

Last Wednesday, the steps of the Trenton State House were the scene of a concrete camp-out -- over 300 people rallied to save our state parks from Gov. Corzine's budget cuts.

The same day, the Governor's staff was testifying to the Legislature, saying the Governor supports "passive recreation" at the nine state parks targeted for closure. But they would still ban swimming and camping.

The next day, the Governor proposed corporate sponsorship for state parks. So, we're starting to have an impact. But the Governor still doesn't get it -- New Jersey state parks should not be only partially open or sold to the highest bidder. The Legislature is starting to get the message. Make sure your state senator holds the line on keeping all of our state parks open.

Do your part to help keep our state parks open by clicking on the link below and sending a message to our state legislature.

Can YOU stand the Suspense?

I came across the MOST interesting workout I've ever seen while checking out "iVillage's" fitness section!

From what the "blurp" says, this workout specifically targets your "core muscles" and is used by Navy Seals during training.

Check it out:

Fitness at the Village: Get a Spring in Your Step


Can You Stand the Suspense?

The TRX Suspension System by Fitness Anywhere is a total-body workout that especially targets the core. Originally a Navy Seals training tool, the TRX has two straps that tie to a ceiling or chin-up bar, creating a high-intensity but low-impact workout that recruits your own body weight for resistance. "The TRX is great because it's portable," says fitness trainer Debra Strougo, "You can train anywhere —at home, on the road, in the park."

Hot tip: Give it a whirl at a Crunch Fitness

Vendor Fair Rescheduled

Due to the fore casted inclement weather, Washington Elementary School's Spring Vendor Fair has be re-scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 2008.

Hope to see YOU there!

This is a GREAT Idea....

With the arrival of Miss Jessica Emily (see previous post), I've been trying to be a good friend by making a little extra for dinner each night and bringing it to Vic and Gina.....I remember how trying it was to "figure out" my newborn and still keep up with my "wifely" responsibilities, so when I came across this article, I just HAD to share.

This is an ABSOLUTELY fabulous idea....not only for new moms, but also for those who may have just suffered a loss, fallen ill, or just have to much going on!



Gotta Have It: The Perfect New-Mom Gift -- a Hot Meal

By Janna Johnson

gSiteLife.RatingThe perfect food delivery after labor and delivery.


If a genie offered to grant a newbie mom three wishes, you can bet having someone to cook would be right up there with health, happiness, and more sleep. So instead of giving your new mom friend a present for the baby (I mean, how many rattles and onesies does one kid need?), give her what she really wants: food on the table that she didn't have to cook herself. After umpteen hours of labor, we're thinking she deserves it.
Don't worry -- this doesn't mean you'll be doing the cooking. Enter Artiko, a prepared food delivery service. Their chefs whip up delicious eats and then they deliver them right to your door -- a godsend for those days when the grocery store seems as hard to get to as Antarctica. Most of the meals take no more than 15 minutes to heat.
From pot roast to enchiladas, Artiko has tons of options -- even mac and cheese for big brothers and sisters. We loved the Chicken Florentine and the to-die-for apple tart. Spend a little (12 vegetable pot stickers cost less than $10) or splurge on a week's worth of meals. We dig the New Baby Sampler ($124.99) which comes with several meals for Mom and Dad plus appetizers and sweets for those guests who keep popping in.

Earth Day Groceries Project 2008!!!

As previously mentioned, the Washington Elementary School PTO is proud to announce that our students participated in the 15th Annual Earth Day Groceries Project.

Below, our students pride is evident of both their participation and creations!

We would like to thank both Ms. MaryAnn Donhue, of Shoprite Headquarters, and Mr. Rob Wilson, of Shoprite of Fair Lawn, for supporting our school's participation in the 15th Annual Earth Day Groceries Project. Without their support, our participation would have been impossible!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
