How to Train Your Puppy to Stop Biting the Leash – 3 Lost Dogs How to Train Your Puppy to Stop Biting the Leash kellinahandbasket (CC 2.0) The problem: When you take your puppy for a walk, he constantly chomps on the leash, treating it like a tug toy. You’d prefer it if he’d just walk along nicely, sniffing bushes and peeing on fire hydrants like a civilized dog. Walking “nicely” on leash can be a huge challenge for a puppy. You see, puppies bite stuff. It’s just kind of what they do. They love to chomp anything they can get their razor-sharp little teefies on, especially things that moves. Hands, pant legs, your poor old cat, etc. So of course leashes make enticing moving targets as well. They may also bite the leash out of frustration. They’re still getting used to the unnatural, uncomfortable sensation of having their movement restricted. They want to run and explore and wreak havoc like any good puppy, but they’re held back by this annoying thing around their neck. In this case, just taking some time to patiently leash-train him may solve the problem entirely. (We cover leash training in Puppy Survival School, with a series of video tutorials) A while back, I wrote a framework for solving pretty much any annoying behavior problem. You should check that out, as it goes into more detail on the basic problem-solving strategy. Here’s how you adapt that framework to the issue of leash-biting. THE STRATEGY There are three parts to this plan: 1. Decide what you want the pup to actually do Whenever you’re trying to stop an unwanted behavior, you have to come up with a new behavior you want to replace it. You concentrate on training the new behavior, and the old “bad” behavior goes away. In this case, the behavior you want is that when the leash is clipped to the collar, he ignores the leash and walks with you, trotting merrily along, peeing on fire hydrants or whatever. 2. Prevent the biting from getting rewarded It’s possible you’ve accidentally been rewarding the biting all this time – it takes two to tug, after all. When the pup grabs the leash, our impulse is to try to pull it away, or push the puppy off it. This is great fun for a puppy, because now you’re playing an exciting game of tug-of-war! In her little puppy imagination, you’re teammates tearing apart that leash like wolves tearing apart a hunk of moose carcass. 3. Reward the crap out of the behavior you want Make sure all walking-without-biting gets rewarded. You can use treats, but you might have better results using a tug toy. Because a reward can be whatever the dog wants in that moment. When your pup grabs the leash, he’s telling you what he wants: to play tug! You can teach him that by walking nicely on leash, he’ll get to play. THE PROCESS: Step 1: Introduce an acceptable tug toy You don’t need or want to get rid of the tugging behavior completely. Tug-of-war is a fantastic game to play with energetic puppies. It burns off energy and gives you something fun to do together, which builds a strong bond. You just need to provide rules about what objects are and are not acceptable to play with. Get a long dog toy, like a knotted rope, a fleece tug (which is what all the cool agility trainers use), or a skinny stuffed animal, like a Loofa dog. I found this ridiculous four-foot tall squeaky baboon that would be perfect. The longer the toy, the better, because: A) You’ll be playing tug while you walk the pup. With a long toy you don’t have to bend over. B) The more toy between you and those scary little jaws means less chance of a revved-up pup redirecting her grip onto your hand. Teach the pup that this is the object she has permission to go nuts over. Channel your inner wolf and play some exciting games of tug. Drag the toy on the ground, encouraging her to chase it. Get down on the floor with her. You get the idea. She needs to learn that playing with this toy is a blast. Introduce a new cue, one that means she’s allowed to grab the toy. While you play, every time she starts to go for the toy, say “get it!” and praise when she does. Step 2: Start training good leash behavior in your living room In the living room? Whaa? Why would you do that when the problem is that the puppy goes nuts on walks? This is a crucial piece of the problem-solving puzzle that often gets missed: you have to train the dog before you start working in the problem situation. You’re essentially teaching your pup a new trick. To learn a new trick, a dog needs a calm environment where he can focus. Once he understands the “trick,” you can start using it in higher-stress situations. You probably wouldn’t wait until your child was having a meltdown at a birthday party, surrounded by toys and candy and bouncy castles and screaming preschoolers, to introduce the concept of “please” and “thank you.” You’d have at least a lesson or two in basic manners beforehand. Same idea with a puppy. You can’t wait until your pup is on a walk, jumping and biting and generally being a little hellion, to introduce the concept of polite leash manners. You’ll need: The pup when she’s in a (relatively) calm mood A leash A container of really good, soft treats chopped into tiny pieces Hold the leash in your hand, don’t attach it to the dog yet. In a calm, boring fashion so as not to entice her to attack, dangle the leash a foot in front of her (if she automatically attacks it, you probably need to start with it further away). For as long as she is not going after it, praise and offer treats. You’re rewarding the absence of biting, so you can offer a treat for: sniffing the leash, looking at it, looking away, looking at you, staring into space, etc. There’s a good video demonstration of this exercise here. At this first training session, make sure your puppy is successful. Set the situation up so that the puppy’s “kill the moving object” instincts are not triggered. You do this by behaving pretty much the opposite of how you did when you were trying to get her to play with the tug toy – remain calm, move slowly, move the leash slowly. After three minutes, end the session. Get the tug toy and play a game. Over the next couple sessions, gradually make it harder. Move the leash more, drag it on the ground, wave it around. If (when) the puppy bites the leash: Immediately drop the leash, and gently hold her by the collar or harness. Stay still. Be boring. Wait for her to drop the leash. When she does, let go, praise and treat. When you can get through a three-minute session without her going after the leash, you’re ready to move on the the next step. Step 3: Puppy on leash in the living room Attach the leash to the puppy. Walk him across the room while talking excitedly or making funny noises to keep his attention. As long as he isn’t biting the leash, offer a treat every step. And if he bites the leash, drop it and take his collar. Over a couple of sessions, gradually increase the number of steps between treats. When you can walk briskly in a circle around the room without him biting, it’s time for the next step – adding the tug toy. Step 4: Reward with tug You might wonder why we introduced the tug toy at the beginning, but didn’t train with it until now. That’s because the tug toy creates excitement and riles the pup up, which makes it harder for her to concentrate on what you’re teaching. With the nice calm treat training, we’ve created a bit of understanding: walking and ignoring the leash makes good things happen, biting the leash makes good things stop. Now it’s time to put that understanding to the test, by increasing the difficulty level of this little game. Start with the pup off-leash. The tug toy in one hand and the leash in the other. Wave the leash in front of the pup’s face. When she ignores it, praise and tell her to get the tug. Play an enthusiastic but short game, about thirty seconds. Take the toy away and reset. Do three to ten reps of this, depending on your puppy’s attention span. Always stop before she gets bored and wanders off. Next, puppy is on leash. Walk her in a circle around the room, then reward with the tug toy. Step 5: Take it to the streets Well, before you take it to the streets, take it to the kitchen, the upstairs hallway, the backyard, the front yard, etc. It’s all about that sweet generalization. But THEN take it to the streets, wandering your neighborhood like an actual walk. You’re finally ready to do the exercises in the big exciting real world. Now, depending on how intense and bitey your puppy is, you might need to repeat steps 1-4 out here, or just step four. Out in the world, your pup might lose interest in treats or the tug toy, wanting instead to run around or sniff things. That’s fine. Use the running around and sniffing as rewards for walking without biting. As long as he doesn’t bite, he gets to do those things. If he bites the leash, uh oh! Fun times are over. You drop the leash, hold the collar and be boring for a while. Need more help than this?

No free-rein of the house just yet Keep the socialization train a’runnin’ Don’t be afraid to go back a few steps in training You’re in charge of the most interesting things in the world	How to Survive Your Dog’s Teen Months – 3 Lost Dogs How to Survive Your Dog’s Teen Months Life with an adolescent dog can be an, um, adventure. Here’s how to make it through with your sanity intact. What to expect The adolescent period starts at around six months for small dogs and eight months for big dogs. It lasts until 18 months to two years. Adolescence is when puppies become more independent, and more interested in the outside world. They can lose their understanding of the training they’ve had – Sparky may have been the star of puppy class, but by ten months old, he can’t tell Down from Heel. Teenage dogs have a harder time paying attention to you because everything else is SO EXCITING AND STIMULATING AHHH. For people who have never before experienced the transformation of a baby puppy to a teen puppy, it can be a serious blow to the ego the first time they do. They suddenly find themselves no longer at the center of their puppy’s universe but as an afterthought somewhere along the outer edges. Don’t worry. They’ll appreciate everything you’ve done for them when they’re older. Free online course: Dog Speak 101 – This video course from the 3 Lost Dogs Academy will teach you all about canine body language. Click here to check it out! Remember: they’re still puppies Your one-year-old lab mix may look like an adult, but they’re very much not. They’re still learning about the world, still growing into who they’re going to be. Big on enthusiasm, low on understanding. Teenage dogs can seem like real dickheads, but they’re not doing it on purpose. They can’t really help it. It’s allll part of this particular phase of puppyhood. They still need you to guide them and train them like the brand-new critters they really are. Watch out for the second fear impact period The first fear impact period occurs when a puppy is about nine weeks old. The second occurs sometime between six months and 18 months. My Belgian malinois, River, had hers when she was eight months old. The onset was marked by an explosive, fearful-barking reaction to a child she had already met and played with just a couple months before. As a young puppy, River was unusually shy. I did a lot of work to get her over her fears, and it paid off. Until, that is, the second fear impact period, when it seemed like all my hard work was undone! But she bounced back after this. The fear impact period lasts about 2-3 weeks. If you notice your happy-go-lucky adolescent dog is suddenly scared of things that never bothered her before, she’s probably starting a fear period. Any scary experience will leave a much bigger impression than it would before or after this stage. Continue socializing and training, but take care to make sure nothing can traumatize her during this time. How to handle your teenage dog Keep managing. No free-rein of the house just yet Management is not just for the infant-puppy potty training phase. You probably don’t have to manage your older puppy quite as strictly, but you don’t want to stop entirely. Adolescence is a prime time for bad habits to develop. So use crates, baby gates, and other management tools to physically keep your unruly teenage dog out of trouble. Keep the socialization train a’runnin’ In recent years, there’s been a big push to teach dog owners how important it is to socialize their 2-4 month old puppies. Puppy classes and socialization training is all the rage. And that’s great! But it’s easy to slack off when the puppy gets older and looks like an adult. Teenage puppies are kept at home more and don’t get taken on adventures as much. So it’s common for dogs who were well-socialized as baby puppies to regress in their socialization as teenage puppies. They can develop fear or aggression, or become rusty in their ability to communicate with other dogs. At least a couple times a week, have a socialization adventure: take Sparky to visit a friend, have a friend bring their dog over to visit, take a car ride to an interesting place, etc. Don’t be afraid to go back a few steps in training When River was a baby, I frequently took her to a nearby park to practice her basic obedience skills. She was eager to train, and learned to focus intently on me. And then she became a teenager. We’d go to the same park, and it was a small miracle if I could get her to even look at me. This can be discouraging, but it’s normal. Teenage puppies start to really NOTICE the world, and have a hard time focusing. How do you maintain your relevance to your suddenly fiercely independent pup? By teaching her that: You’re in charge of the most interesting things in the world A piece of dog training advice you might hear on occasion: In order to control your dog, you have to be the most interesting thing in the world to your dog. Easier said than done. It takes an enormous amount of energy to be the coolest thing in the world to a dog, especially when you’re are at the park and there are other dogs running around and kids on skateboards and smelly bushes and squirrels daring Sparky to just TRY and catch them. And with an adolescent dog? Good luck. So what’s a mere mortal to do? Remind Sparky that even though everything else is extremely fascinating, he still has to listen to you. Why? Because you control his access to all that fascinating stuff. Instead of fighting with the distractions in your dog’s environment, you’re going to put them to work for you and turn the distractions into rewards. Let’s say you’re on a walk. You want Sparky to stop pulling on the leash. You have some delicious treats with you. You plan to give him one every time he stops pulling to focus on you. One problem: he doesn’t care about the treats. What he cares about is investigating all the trees on your path. So forget the treats. Now, get him to acknowledge you and when he does, even for a second, let him go sniff a few trees. Keep repeating this process, gradually increasing the time Sparky has to focus on you before he can get to the trees. River and I started doing a lot of focus and attention training. I recorded our training sessions and turned it into the Focus & Come When Called course. If you’d like to see exactly how River “got her brain back” and returned to her attentive, eager-to-train self, you might wanna check that out.	msmarco_doc_00_24193325

Now the day has arrived: you finally have a puppy of your very own. It can be fun, exciting, and as you quickly discover, really overwhelming. You’ve got this little ball of fuzz and sharp teeth wandering around your living room and it’s like, what now? What do I actually DO with this creature? Should I… walk her? Train her to do something? Enroll in puppy preschool? Perhaps start a puppy college fund? Man, this is complicated. What if I mess up? What if I break her? What if I pick the wrong puppy school and RUIN HER CHANCES OF GETTING INTO A GOOD UNI- Okay, first of all, breathe. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Here’s a step-by-step plan for what needs to happen in your first week of puppy parenthood. You’ll also get a free puppy starter kit: it includes a printable version of this post that comes with some bonus content, and a puppy supplies checklist. Read to the end to grab yours. What to do first This is the basic stuff to get in order before you do anything else. Ideally, you’d do this before the pup comes home, but you can still do it after. Puppy-proof Puppies have this charming tendency to destroy everything in their path. They like to chew. A lot. Go through the area the pup will spend most of her time and remove anything you don’t want chewed, and anything that might hurt her. For example: Kids’ toys Shoes Laundry (dirty socks are a doggy delicacy) Books Video game controllers Cleaning supplies Antique furniture Electrical cords You can use a bitter-tasting deterrent spray, like Bitter Apple, on anything valuable that can’t be removed, like corners of furniture. (Just test it first in a small area to make sure it doesn’t stain) It’s best not to allow the puppy access to every room right away. More access = more opportunities to get into mischief. Use baby gates and closed doors to keep the pup where you can supervise. Gather your puppy survival kit First of all, you will need a crate. In most situations, a crate makes potty- and manners-training easier and faster. It gives you a place to keep the pup out of trouble when you can’t supervise, therefore preventing any bad habits from developing. Click here to learn more about crates. Chew toys. Lots of ‘em. Get a variety of types so you can figure out what kind your puppy favors. Puzzle toys. At least a couple Kong-style ones that you can stuff with goodies to keep the pup busy. Click here to learn more about puzzle toys Training treats. Use soft treats chopped into pea-sized pieces. A good puppy-pee remover. You need an enzymatic cleaner like Nature’s Miracle. Most other types of cleaners don’t do a good enough job of eliminating the scent. If the pup can still smell the mess on the carpet, she’s likely to eliminate in the same spot again. Click here for a more comprehensive guide to the supplies you’ll need. Call a family meeting, get everyone on the same page You’ll need to establish ground rules for the new dog. Things to talk about include: Where will the dog sleep at night? Will she be allowed on the couch? Are there any rooms that are permanently off-limits to the dog? Who will feed/walk/train/take the pup on her 3am potty break? By discussing it with the whole family, things will go much more smoothly since everyone is familiar with the rules. Decide on words for cues. If one person says “down” when they mean to get off the furniture and someone else says “off,” your pup is going to start her life with you very confused. Also, use this time to determine a schedule for the dog. Create a schedule Puppies thrive on routine. Doing the same things at the same times every day will: Speed up house training. With a consistent daily routine, Bella’s internal plumbing will adjust and she’ll soon be ready to eat, sleep, and eliminate when you want her to Help the puppy settle in. Knowing what to expect from her day will make her feel more confident and secure Decide on times for: Potty breaks – schedule as many as possible. When someone is home during the day, take the pup out every hour. Meals – Puppies under five-months-old should eat three meals per day. Water should be available at all times. Bedtime and wake-up time – To give Bella time to relieve herself, remove her access to water one hour before bed. THE FIRST WEEK The first week is all about letting the puppy settle in, and creating positive first impressions. Keep it low-key. I know all your friends and relatives and neighbors will want to meet the puppy. They should definitely meet her, but not yet. This is a big scary change for a critter who’s only been alive for a few weeks. You don’t want to overwhelm her. She needs to get to know her new family before you add a bunch of other faces. Tell everyone that they’re invited to a meet-the-puppy party – NEXT week. Go slow. You probably have a bunch of ideas for exciting adventure to have with your new Man’s Best Friend. That’s awesome, but don’t rush it. Let Bella catch her breath, explore her new home, and learn the basic rules of the house first. Introduce the puppy to the crate Take a full day to slowly introduce the crate before you start using it for real. Make it comfortable: add some old towels or blankets. If you received a blanket with the smell of “home” from her breeder, put that inside. I wouldn’t buy any expensive bedding until you know if Bella is a bedding-destroyer. Step one: Open the door of the crate and let Bella investigate. Toss really good treats inside. Praise her when she goes inside to get the food. Don’t force her to go in and don’t close the door behind her. Step two: Leave the crate door open all day. Keep randomly placing food and toys into the back of the crate. Bella will catch on to this game and start to see the crate as a magical portal from which good things mysteriously come. Step three: Once Bella is happily going in and out of the crate, you can start closing the door behind her. Start by keeping it closed for just a few seconds, and work your way up to longer periods of time. Always open the door before she gets anxious. Start house training House training is all about: Close supervision to prevent accidents. Watch her like a hawk when she’s roaming the house. When you can’t watch her, she should be in her crate. Most dogs treat their crates like their bedrooms, and no one likes to soil their bedroom. So she’ll be less likely to have an accident in her crate. Frequent trips to the bathroom. Puppies lack the physical control to “hold it” for very long. Rewarding the pup for good potty behavior. When she goes in the right place, praise and offer a few treats. Check out this house training tutorial. For a comprehensive house training guide and troubleshooting help, check out Puppy Survival School. Get through the first few nights To survive your puppy’s first nights with your sanity intact, there are two things you must understand: 1. Bella will be a little bit freaked out. 2. You are not going to get much sleep. The sooner you accept these facts, the better off you’ll be. Your dog’s first night will turn you into a sleep-deprived zombie. That’s just how it goes. Decide where the puppy will sleep. I strongly recommend letting her sleep in your bedroom. She doesn’t know what’s going on. Sleeping near you will be reassuring. You’ll have a better shot at getting some sleep, since Bella is less likely to howl and carry on if she can see you. You don’t have to let her sleep in your room forever – just until she’s comfortable in your home. Set up her own bed. If you spent the day getting her used to the crate and she’s taken to it nicely, use that. Place it right next to the bed so you can reach over and reassure her as needed. If Bella freaks out when she gets locked in the crate, you can use a dog bed, and a leash to tether her to a sturdy piece of furniture. You don’t want her getting up during the night to take a bathroom break on your carpet. Right before bed, take her to her potty area, then put her to bed with a delicious chew toy. She’ll probably whine for a while. Stick your fingers through the crate bars to reassure her briefly. Then ignore the whining. When she stops whining, you can toss a treat into the crate to reward the quiet. If she’s quiet for a while but starts whining again, she might have to go. A two month old puppy may need to go out as little as 30 minutes after her last bathroom trip. Schedule a vet visit The first rule of adopting a pet: take them to the vet ASAP. Your vet can tell you what vaccines your puppy needs, whether she has worms, and alert you to any possible health concerns. Most importantly, this is an opportunity for socialization. Taking your pup to the vet early on will get her used to the experience. Try to make it positive; feed her treats, maybe play with a toy in the exam room. Your pup will start to get into a good vet visit habit and be easier to handle at the vet’s office when she’s older and larger. Teach the puppy her name Keep some treats in your pockets. Once in a while, call your dog’s new name, and immediately toss her a treat. Toss the treat even if she doesn’t turn around to look at you right away. After a few repetitions, she’ll soon associate the word “Bella” with treats flying past her face, and she’ll start to respond appropriately. Any time you want to offer Bella something really awesome, like her dinner, a walk, or ear scratches, call her name first. She’ll learn to love her name pretty quick. Play some puppy training games You don’t have to worry too much about formal “obedience” training in the first week. These puppy training games give you a no-pressure way to teach good manners and help her bond with the family. Provide lots of delicious chew toys Ted Van Pelt CC 2.0 Like I said, puppies like to chew EVERYTHING. Yes, part of it is teething. But chewing is something that most dogs love to do well into adulthood. It’s how they relax. So you have to provide plenty of appropriate outlets for this natural doggy behavior. The trick is to get chew toys that are more appealing than your shoes or expensive replica sonic screwdriver. You’ll have to experiment to find out what Bella really loves. Some tasty choices include: Hollow bones that you can fill with soft food Carrots (chilled carrots are great for soothing teething puppies) Smoked knuckle bones (it’s fun watching a ten-pound puppy try to gnaw on a bone half his size) Nylabones Kongs filled with food Pig ears Hooves Bully sticks Antler chews Keep a stash of about ten toys. Rotate through them so Bella doesn’t get bored. Make three or four available at all times. Any time you see her chewing on a dog toy (instead of your valuables) reward her with praise and a treat. Play! The best for last. This is why you got a puppy in the first place, right? Plan on a lot of playing. It’s the best way to exercise and bond with your pup. Aside from puppy training games like Pass the Puppy and Hide-and-Seek, here are some ideas: Fetch – a classic, of course. To teach your pup to play, get two toys. Throw or roll one, and when Bella grabs it, wave the second toy around so that she’ll come running back. When she gets to you, gently take the first toy, and throw the second one. Toy-on-a-string – great for puppies who need to be encouraged to chase a toy. For some reason, even dogs who don’t like fetch love this game. See instructions here. Chase – Get down on the pup’s level, gently shove her around, then run away. Let her catch you, and praise and offer a toy or treat when she does. This teaches beginner come-when-called skills. (Have the puppy chase YOU, don’t play chase-the-puppy. You don’t want her to learn that running away from her human is a fun game) Puppies love to play, but they have very short attention spans. Hold several 5-15 minute play sessions throughout the day. In the first weeks, some puppies will be too shy or overwhelmed to play. That’s okay. Proceed at her pace, and she’ll come around eventually. It took my shy, very serious puppy Jonas several days before he’d play with me. He eventually became very enthusiastic about fetch and tug-of-war. If you think your puppy is more fearful than normal, or barks at strangers, check out this article: How Our Online Puppy Training Courses Can Help With Your Scared or Reactive Puppy Beyond the First Week After the puppy settles in, it’s time to venture out into the world and start socialization training. Socialization is all about introducing your pup to new people, animals, places, and things, and making it a good experience. The more new, positive situations a puppy encounters during the critical age of 4-16 weeks, the better behaved he’ll be as an adult. This is the time to: Invite people over to meet the puppy and play puppy training games Arrange visits with healthy, friendly adult dogs Go hang out at friends’ houses Sign up for puppy class.

http://3manchess.com/	3 Man Chess - 3 Man Chess	Quick Rules Guided Tutorial Purchase About 3 Man Chess The Void Moats Creeks	3 Man Chess - 3 Man Chess Get 3 Man Chess! Buy On Amazon Available on IOS Game Tutorial Finally, a Chess variant that accommodates three players without compromising ANY of the rules, strategies, or competitive challenges that make Chess the best board game in the world. Quick Rules Guided Tutorial Purchase Read Reviews About 3 Man Chess 3 Man Chess is played “in the round,” that is, the field of play is circular. For the most part, 3 Man Chess is played just like conventional Chess. – there was NEVER any intention of trying to make the game “better” because that can’t be done. However, being able to play with three minds interacting creates situations that never arise in conventional Chess. 3 Man Chess’ circular game board consists of 6 concentric ranks of 24 files and an open central “void” that pieces may pass, but not stop on. There are teardrop shaped curves drawn on the board to help diagonal moves navigate the “void.” 3 Man Chess uses conventional chess teams (three of them!) – 16 pieces that follow all of their traditional rules; 8 pawns start on rank #2 protecting 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, a queen and a king which start on rank #1 (the outermost rank). The teams are separated from each other by “moats” and “creeks” that are impassable at the start of the game. Diagonal moves follow the drawn guidelines, passing across the center to the opposite “spoke.” Straight moves may also pass across the central “void,” or move around the circular ranks. After just a couple of turns around the board, strategy becomes intensely complex and fascinating! An unexpected move might well result in a cascading massacre. Defense is crucial since a diagonal move through the center, or a horizontal move around the center can sneak up behind you. Your two opponents can team up to checkmate you, or ultimately you can checkmate both of them at the same time! The Void At the center of the 3 Man Chess board is the “void”. Pieces may cross over the void as if it were not there, but cannot stop on it. Pieces traveling in a straight line (including knights) simply cross the void and continue on their way, whereas pieces moving/attacking diagonally must follow the curved guidelines shown. Moats There is a “moat” between each team on the outer rank to prevent players from immediately pummeling each other. When the outer rank between two moats is completely empty, the two become “bridged” and pieces can pass over it freely for the rest of the game. Creeks Creeks extend moats by two additional ranks. These prevent Pawns from diagonally capturing pieces until the Pawn is past the creek, ensuring players can safely move further into the board early game. Creeks have no effect on pawns after they hit rank 4 and never affect other pieces.	msmarco_doc_00_24283981
http://3manchess.com/rules/	3 Man Chess Rules - 3 Man Chess	3 Man Chess Rules 3 Man Chess Rules Example #1:	3 Man Chess Rules - 3 Man Chess 3 Man Chess Rules If you are not familiar with traditional Chess, or are having difficulty with the rules, please check out our Guided Tutorial. Or, click here for printable PDF of these rules. All rules for conventional Chess are applicable. There is however some protocol that must be applied for maneuvering 3 bordering teams on a round board. Set all Kings on white. White goes first, then clockwise to gray, then black. The center of the board may be passed through, but has no square to be occupied. Adjoining vertical squares, through the center, maintain the same color. Queen, King, Rook, or Pawn, advancing 1 square through center, retains same color. Knight also will retain same color. This phenomenon is necessary to maintain ’round board’ integrity. As players should be aware of this, conventional Chess strategy is not compromised. DIAGONAL MOVES (Queen, King, Bishop, or Pawn capturing) Follow 1 of the 2 trajectory lines out from the square it rest on. May rotate through the center. Can not ‘turn the corner’ at the outer rank, in 1 move. VERTICAL MOVES (Queen, King, Rook, Pawn) Follows straight, (and if necessary, through the center), along the checkerboard file. HORIZONTAL MOVES (Queen, King, Rook) Rotate about the center on the same row (rank). KNIGHT MOVES 2 squares vertically then 1 square horizontally, or 1 square vertically then 2 horizontally. Use 1 of the 2 methods above (i.e., do not follow a trajectory line through the center). Also, these 2 methods are necessary for BORDER CONTROL described below. BORDER CONTROL MOATS Thick green lines ‘MOATS’ have been dug into the outer rank, bordering the teams. No piece may traverse across a MOAT (horizontally OR diagonally across the corner) until it has become open, i.e.,‘BRIDGED’. (see below). MOAT BRIDGING If the conditions exist allowing a MOAT to become BRIDGED (see below), it is considered BRIDGED only to pieces crossing the MOAT that do not end THAT move in the capturing of a piece or initiating a CHECK. Also no piece can CHECK through an open or closed MOAT – ever. A MOAT can become permanently Bridged for HORIZONTAL or DIAGONAL traversing if: A team has been eliminated. Therefore both of its bordering MOATS are Bridged. An active team vacates its outer rank of ALL pieces. Note: Re-populating its outer rank will not re-close the bordering MOATS. KNIGHTS must observe the 2 & 1 rule of travel, mentioned above. If either configuration of a KNIGHT’S move would carry it Horizontally across a Moat, then that move is illegal (unless that Moat is Bridged). CREEKS CREEKS run 2 squares off the MOATS, denoted by thin green lines. They are observed only by PAWNS that haven’t crossed through the center yet. PAWNS are not considered strong enough to capture across a creek. They must advance to the square beyond the end of the CREEK first. (4th rank from the outside) Once across the center, they no longer observe CREEKS. CHECKMATE A team’s CHECKMATE status is not finalized until it is their turn, unless their King is captured. If a King’s position is so unfortunate whereas the next team’s move creates a CHECK to it by the following team, then that following team may capture that King if it wishes. Now, they are considered CHECKMATED. See example #1 below. If the extremely unusual circumstance occurs whereas a team could not make a legal move (as in a Stalemate), and 3 teams are still in, that team would be out of the game. If there were only 2 teams left at the time, the game is a draw. When/if a team becomes CHECKMATED, that player is out. ALL remaining pieces remain on the board dormant. They lie as dead fossils, without even a descent burial from the useless government they once supported. The square that one of these corpses consumes may be captured by another team’s piece if it wishes to occupy that square. The game is continued between the other two players until only one remains. The ultimate goal would be for one team to CHECKMATE the other two teams at the same time! Example #1: This is very unusual, but must be addressed. After much discussion, there seems to be no better way to logically satisfy the situation: Player 2’s King (here, gray) is on the space shown in red. Player 3 moves their Bishop (here, black) to any valid cell, leaving Player 2 in Check by Player 1. Player 1 then uses their Queen to Capture Player 2’s King before Player 2 can save themselves. This type of event, where the King is put in Check and can not answer because it isn’t that player’s turn yet would provide the ONLY means whereas that King could be captured by the Queen in the example shown. Once this King is captured, the team is Checkmated.	msmarco_doc_00_24287119

Screen 1 of 21 Introduction America is a nation of immigrants. Most Americans' ancestors came from other countries with different languages, customs, and systems of belief. Showing respect for your patients' cultural, spiritual, and psychosocial values demonstrates cultural competency.1 Cultural competency enables healthcare workers to understand their patient's expectations about the care, treatment, and services they receive. This lesson briefly describes the cultural differences that you may encounter when providing care to patients. Screen 2 of 21 Learning Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Define the terms related to culture. Recognize cultural differences among Americans. List interventions that healthcare workers can use to meet the needs of culturally diverse patients. Screen 3 of 21 What is Culture? A person's culture describes his or her learned values, beliefs, customs, and behaviors.2 Culture refers to the way a particular group of people view the world and the set of traditions that are passed on from generation to generation. Culture enforces the standards and rules established by a particular group and is based on the predominant values and beliefs. Cultural differences among ethnic groups include beliefs about: Family organization Personal space Communication Health, illness, and healthcare practices Religion Traditions Your patients' ethnicity and culture contribute to their sense of self-identity, especially when it comes to relating to other cultures. Screen 4 of 21 Cultural Competence To achieve optimal patient outcomes, healthcare professionals must provide care that meets each patient's needs by incorporating aspects of the patient's culture into the plan of care. Cultural Competence: Work Practices Healthcare workers are responsible for developing cultural competence and practicing cultural sensitivity. Learn about the values, beliefs, and healthcare practices of the culturally diverse populations that your organization serves. Screen 5 of 21 Quick Check: Cultural Competence ANSWER: Screen 6 of 21 Values Members of a particular culture generally have a value system that determines acceptable behavior. Individuals often use values to assess themselves and others. In these instances, judgment is made about the superiority of one's own set of values and how those values prevail over others. Health beliefs and practices usually reflect the value system of individuals within a certain culture. Therefore, take measures to understand a patient's value system in order to promote proper healthcare practices and improve patient outcomes. Screen 7 of 21 Race and Ethnicity Screen 8 of 21 Race and Ethnicity Screen 9 of 21 Limited English Proficient (LEP) CMS and TJC require healthcare workers to assess and provide language assistance services to those who need them in order to communicate effectively. Examples are: Employed interpreters Staff members being certified in a particular language Special interpretive phones that connect you and the patient to an interpreter. Multiple languages available. Some of the newest research shows that patients with limited English-speaking ability are more likely to experience an adverse event and be harmed as a result. Communication error is the most commonly identified cause.7 Screen 10 of 21 Stereotypes When members of different groups live and work together in a community, it is easy for those in each group to form specific beliefs about other groups. A belief about an individual based solely on his or her affiliation with a particular group is a stereotype. Healthcare workers must guard against stereotyping patients by not making assumptions based on the cultural group to which the patient belongs. Screen 11 of 21 Quick Check: Race and Ethnicity ANSWER: Screen 12 of 20 Family Organization Families form the basis for cultural groups, but the structure of a family varies from culture to culture. The family organization determines who makes decisions for the family and who takes responsibility for ensuring that they receive health care. In some cultures, the father or oldest male is the authority figure. In others, both the mother and father have the responsibility for decision making. Screen 13 of 20 Beliefs Beliefs are based on commonly held opinions, knowledge, and attitudes about the world and life. A patient's beliefs influence his or her thoughts about health and illness. Members of a culture share beliefs about: The nature and cause of illness Types of healthcare practices Their relationship to a higher power Screen 14 of 20 Common Beliefs About Health and Illness Most people tend to view the causes of health and illness in one of three ways, or in a combination of these ways.8 Screen 15 of 20 Religious Practices For many individuals, spirituality is expressed through religious practices. Religion is an organized system of belief in a higher power. Spirituality and religion are products of an individual's cultural background and experience. Spiritual values and religious beliefs form the rules of how a person determines right from wrong. A patient's religious beliefs provide guidelines for moral behavior. The major religions of the United States include: Protestantism Roman Catholicism Judaism Islam Hinduism If a patient requests a visit from clergy or pastoral staff, initiate the request promptly and ensure the patient's privacy when a spiritual advisor is visiting the patient. Also ensure privacy when patients are engaged in a religious act such as praying. Screen 16 of 20 Religious Preferences Religious preferences are highly personal and can vary within a given culture. For example, Hispanics are traditionally Roman Catholic. However, you may also find Hispanics attending Protestant churches within their communities. Religious items and rituals may have significant importance to patients. For example, the crucifix, Bible, and religious medals are usually important to Roman Catholics. The prayer rug is significant to those of the Islamic religion who pray five times each day facing in the direction of their holy city, Mecca. Amulets and special charms are important to Native Americans and to some cultures in the Middle East. Talismans are engraved stones, rings, or other objects that are used to ward off evil. Respect religious items when they are in your patient's room. Do not touch these items unless you have been given permission to do so. You can, however, ask a patient to explain what the items are and how they relate to their health beliefs. In addition, schedule tasks to avoid interrupting religious rituals or clergy visits, including times of prayer and meditation. Screen 17 of 20 Supporting Patients' Spirituality Certain foods are important in some cultures. For example, many Orthodox Jews will only eat specially prepared, or kosher food, and some Muslims will only eat halal, or permissible foods. In addition, some Roman Catholics restrict food intake on specific dates. During Ramadan, most Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. Be sure to ask patients about their food preferences. Other ways that you can support your patients' spiritual or religious practices include respecting the patient's belief system and avoiding the tendency to push your beliefs and values onto your patients. Listen attentively to patients and try to understand the relationship between the their beliefs and their health practices. Cultural, religious, and spiritual considerations at the end-of-life are important. Staff should identify and respect the patient's needs.3 Screen 18 of 21 Traditions Traditions are customs and practices followed by members of a culture and passed on from generation to generation. Traditions may be related to religious rituals or holiday celebrations. Special foods are often prepared to observe traditions at holidays. Think about the preparation of turkey for Thanksgiving, corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day, challah (braided bread) on the Sabbath or for Jewish holidays, and traditional tacos, tamales, and enchiladas on Cinco de Mayo. Specific holidays for different cultures occur throughout the year. Some traditions relate to reaching maturity and may be tied to religious beliefs too. For example, many Jewish adolescents have a bar mitzvah to celebrate their coming of age at 13. Honoring and practicing traditions gives people a sense of stability and continuity. Traditions help to bind the people of a culture closer together. Healthcare workers have a unique opportunity to learn about other cultures directly from patients. It is important to remember, however, that even though a person is part of an identifiable culture, he or she is an individual within the culture and may not follow all customs or hold all beliefs of that culture. Screen 19 of 21 Quick Check: Elements of Culture ANSWER: Screen 20 of 21 At-Risk Population The acronym LGBT(Q) stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender". Sometimes Q is also used, which stands for questioning orientation or queer. Like many other populations identified as at-risk, research has demonstrated that LGBT individuals sometimes face disparities in care because of their sexual orientation. To ensure quality care, all patients should be treated with respect and dignity. LGBT individuals should be assured access to support person of their choice.9 To better serve LGBT individuals who are limited English proficient, policies and procedures need to be in compliant with Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Staff should be sensitive to concerns about privacy and confidentiality. Forty-one percent of LGBT age 50 and older have a disability. Hospitals must ensure their rehabilitation policies comply with caring these LGBT individuals.10 Screen 21 of 21 Summary America is a nation made up of individuals with various cultural backgrounds. Many of these individuals will need healthcare at some point in their lives. The Joint Commission requires accredited healthcare organizations to provide medical care to all individuals without compromising or dismissing their cultural background. Culturally competent medical personnel play an essential role in providing safe, quality healthcare for everyone in our growing population. Each patient is a unique individual whose development is the result of his or her own culture, community, lifestyle, and personal experiences. Discuss any questions that you may have about the populations you serve and cultural diversity with your educator or supervisor. References Office of Minority Health (OMH).

Screen 1 of 38 Introduction The Joint Commission requires healthcare organizations to develop and maintain an emergency management program so that patient care can be continued effectively in the event of emergency or disastrous situations. Healthcare organizations that offer emergency services or that are designated as disaster receiving stations must have an Emergency Operations Plan that covers response to external and internal disasters.1 This lesson: Describes common internal and external emergencies and disasters that hospitals may face Describes the critical elements of an Emergency Operations Plan Summarizes the role of the employee during emergencies and disasters Introduces common terminology used to initiate emergency codes Click The Phases of Emergency Management to read more about the four phases of emergency management planning. (See the Resources section of this document.) Screen 2 of 38 Learning Objectives Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: Identify the purpose of emergency management plans and emergency operations plans used by healthcare organizations. Recognize three different types of emergencies that may affect your healthcare organization. Identify three emergency codes used to alert employees to emergency and disaster situations. Screen 3 of 38 Regulatory and Accreditation Requirements Every healthcare organization is responsible for developing its own guidelines for handling emergencies and disasters. The guidelines should address high-risk problems that are specific to your organization, thereby minimizing the negative impact of these situations. The development of emergency management guidelines should be based on the priorities identified in the hazard vulnerability analysis (HVA) and: State and federal laws The Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) The Joint Commission standards Other requirements from accrediting and regulatory agencies Screen 4 of 38 Emergencies and Disasters Sound planning helps organizations prepare to respond effectively to different levels of emergencies and disasters.1 This table describes the difference between an emergency and a disaster. Comparison of Emergency and Disaster Comparison of Emergency and Disaster Comparison of Emergency and Disaster Emergency Disaster Definition The Joint Commission defines an emergency as an unexpected or sudden event that1: Significantly disrupts the organization's ability to provide care, treatment, or services Disrupts the environment of care itself Results in a sudden and significantly changed or increased demand for the organization's services The Joint Commission defines a disaster as a type of emergency that, due to its complexity, scope, or duration, threatens the organization's capabilities and requires outside assistance to sustain patient care, safety, or security functions.1 Example loss of power or telephone services during a severe storm. natural or manmade disaster causes significant structural damage to healthcare organizations, homes, and other buildings within the community, requiring that response teams be deployed from nearby cities to aid victims. Community partners, such as the public health department, other healthcare organizations, and government agencies, should be included in your Emergency Management or Emergency Operations plan. Screen 5 of 38 Quick Check: Emergencies and Disasters ANSWER: Screen 6 of 38 Healthcare Organization Emergency Codes Every healthcare organization must develop specific emergency codes or use plain language (clear text) to communicate to employees about situations that may affect the safety of patients, visitors, and other employees. Effective communication is essential to emergency management planning. Therefore, you need to understand: The different types of emergency codes that are used within your organization How to respond appropriately to each situation Screen 7 of 38 Examples of Common Emergency Codes The table identifies some common emergency codes and their meanings. Even though they are common, they are not universal. It is important that you know the emergency codes within your organization. These codes allow hospital personnel to appropriately respond to an emergency or disaster without alarming patients and visitors. Code Description Yellow Internal or External Disaster Black Bomb Threat Red Fire Emergency Orange Hazardous Materials Release or Spill White Violence or Combative Behavior Silver Unauthorized Person with a Weapon Pink Infant/Child Abduction Blue Medical Emergency: Cardiac or Respiratory Arrest Some hospitals, in compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), have moved away from common emergency codes to plain language (clear text) such as "Fire Alert (followed by location)" or “Security Alert, active shooter (followed by location)".2 Screen 8 of 38 Quick Check: Healthcare Organization Emergency Codes ANSWER: Screen 9 of 38 Internal Disaster disaster may be classified as internal or external. An internal disaster is an emergency situation that is generated by an event that: Occurs within a healthcare organization Endangers the safety of patients, visitors, staff, or property One example of an internal disaster is a hazardous chemical spill or leak.3 Internal disasters: Sometimes require a relocation of staff and patients to a different area within the organization Usually do not completely disrupt day-to-day functions and activities within the healthcare organization as much as external disasters do Usually do not last very long Screen 10 of 38 External Disaster An external disaster is an emergency situation of significant magnitude that: Occurs outside of the healthcare organization Endangers the safety or wellbeing of patients, employees, and visitors May severely affect the surrounding communities in the area Examples of external disasters include: Earthquakes Hurricanes Flooding Terrorist attacks Multi-vehicle accidents Screen 11 of 38 Quick Check: Internal and External Disasters ANSWER: Screen 12 of 38 Responding to Internal and External Disasters When an internal or external disaster occurs, these activities take place: Leaders within your organization assess the situation and develop a plan for responding appropriately to the event. Based on the finding of their assessment, your administrator may initiate an internal or external disaster emergency code, or a code yellow. If the emergency disaster code is initiated, follow your organization's Emergency Operations Plan that describes response procedures that must be followed. If needed, the hospital incident command system may be implemented. If you are not affected by the disaster, be prepared to assist patients, visitors, other employees, and emergency responders. In addition, departments that are not affected by the disaster should take inventory of their supplies because they may be needed to help treat those who are injured. Screen 13 of 38 Emergency Operations Plan The Emergency Operations Plan describes how healthcare organizations will: Communicate with staff, patients, and external organizations Manage resources and assets such as supplies Manage safety and security Manage staff including roles and responsibilities Manage utilities such as water, electricity fuel, and medical gas Manage patients including scheduling, triage, assessment, treatment, admission, transfer, and discharge The Emergency Operations Plan must be tested twice a year to evaluate its effectiveness.1 As needed, organizations are expected to make required improvements. Check with your educator or manager about your role in disaster preparedness. Screen 14 of 38 Hospital Incident Command System After assessing the disaster, the leaders within your healthcare organization will determine the severity of the situation and decide how to respond. If the consequences of the event are severe, the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) is implemented. The Hospital Incident Command System is an incident management system that assists healthcare organizations with emergency planning, response, and recovery capabilities for unplanned events. This reduces individual decision-making and provides leaders with the control that is needed to manage a disaster. The command system: Uses an organizational chart to define specific roles and responsibilities of healthcare workers during a disaster. Provides a Job Action Sheet, or job description, for each position on the organizational chart. Click Hospital Incident Command System to see an example of the HICS organizational chart. http://www.educode.com/Images/JC101_60_HICS_organizational_chart.pdf The Hospital Incident Command System should be consistent with and integrated into the community's command structure. Hospitals that receive certain federal funds for emergency preparedness are required to incorporate The National Incident Management System (NIMS), into its emergency preparedness plans. The National Incident Management System is directed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).1 http://www.fema.gov/pdf/emergency/nims/NIMS_core.pdf Screen 15 of 38 Bomb Threat bomb threat is likely to cause a disruption in the day-to-day operations of an organization. However, an actual bombing could result in mass casualties. Bomb threats evoke a feeling of fear and may cause healthcare workers, patients, and visitors to panic. Anyone working in your organization may receive a bomb threat. When a bomb threat is received, trained personnel should conduct a thorough search of the organization. Screen 16 of 38 Bomb Threat: If You Receive the Threat If you are the one receiving the call when a bomb threat occurs, pay attention to the specifics so that you can communicate them clearly to officials in your organization: Pay careful attention to the exact words used by the caller. Write down the information as accurately as possible. Pay particular attention to the noises in the background to help figure out where the caller is located. Try to determine the sex of the caller and any characteristics of the voice, such as the pitch or an accent. When you get off the phone with the caller, place a call to your organization's operator and state that you have received a bomb threat. The operator will notify security, the local police, and the appropriate leaders in your organization. If directed by the hospital administrator, the operator will announce a Code Black indicating a bomb threat in your organization. Screen 17 of 38 Bomb Threat: Actions to Take If a code black is initiated, take these actions: Report to your manager immediately. Depending on your institution's policies, your manager may give you instructions about searching your immediate work area. In some instances, only trained personnel will conduct the search. Do not alarm patients by telling them about the threat. Instead, carefully check the patient care areas for suspicious items. Look to see if anything is out of place. Look for bags that have been left or abandoned on your unit. Also, look for packages or boxes with writing on them such as BOMB or TNT. As you are searching your work area, avoid the use of radios. The radio waves may cause the bomb to detonate. Turning a light switch on or off may also cause a bomb to explode. Therefore, leave lights on if they are already on and leave them off if they are in the off position. Use a flash light instead. Screen 18 of 38 Bomb Threat: Finding a Suspicious Package If you find a suspicious package, do not pick it up. Never touch a bomb or suspected bomb. The task of investigating and handling bombs is the responsibility of the police department. Leaders within healthcare organizations will typically decide to evacuate patient care areas if a suspicious item is found. Screen 19 of 38 Quick Check: Bomb Threat ANSWER: Screen 20 of 38 Hazardous Materials Accident The accidental release or spill of a hazardous material may cause injury or illness to patients, visitors, employees, and the environment. Only those trained specifically in the cleanup of hazardous materials should clean a chemical spill. Your organization's hazardous communication program describes specific guidelines for handling the accidental release or spill of hazardous materials. Screen 21 of 38 Discovering a Hazardous Chemical Spill If you discover a hazardous chemical spill, you should: Take measures to isolate the area to keep individuals away from the spill. Contact your supervisor or manager and describe the spill to him or her. Help locate information about the chemical using safety data sheets. Your supervisor or manager will assess the situation using your hospital’s criteria and decide whether emergency responders are needed. Your manager may ask you to contact your organization's operator and identify the location of the spill and ask for the initiation of a code orange, indicating a hazardous chemical spill. Screen 22 of 38 Responding to a Hazardous Chemical Spill If your department is not the site of the hazardous spill but you hear the initiation of a code orange, you should: Report to your supervisor or manager for instructions about securing your work area to prevent unauthorized access to areas with hazardous conditions. Prepare to assist with evacuations as needed. Keep hallways clear to allow emergency responders access throughout the organization. Screen 23 of 38 Quick Check: Hazardous Materials Accident Screen 24 of 38 Fire Emergency Screen 25 of 38 Operating a Portable Fire Extinguisher An easy way to remember how to use a portable fire extinguisher is by recalling the acronym PASS. To operate a portable fire extinguisher, move about 6 to 8 feet away from the fire, and then: Pull the pin on the fire extinguisher. Aim the hose at the base or bottom of the fire. Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher. Sweep from side-to-side while spraying the chemical from the extinguisher. Screen 26 of 38 Quick Check: Operating a Fire Extinguisher ANSWER: Screen 27 of 38 Combative and Abusive Behavior Healthcare and social services workers are at high risk for workplace violence, according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). A display of combative or abusive behavior may be seen by a patient, a patient's family members, healthcare workers, or the family members of healthcare workers.5 If you become concerned about your safety or the safety of others due to a display of combative or abusive behavior, initiate a code white. A code white alerts others that you need help handling an escalating situation. Screen 28 of 38 Combative and Abusive Behavior Response If you hear a staff member reporting a code white, contact the operator and identify the location of the incident. The operator will dispatch the code white response team to the location of the incident. When they arrive, let them handle the situation. They are trained to handle problems that involve actual or possible harm to others. Screen 29 of 38 Person with a Weapon code silver indicates that someone has been seen with a weapon or there is a hostage situation in your healthcare organization. A weapon is any type of firearm, knife, or device that can cause bodily harm or injury. Individuals, other than security personnel or law enforcement officers, should not carry weapons on hospital property. code silver situation requires extreme caution and careful tactics to ensure the safety of patients, visitors, and other employees. If you see someone with a weapon or suspect that someone has a weapon: Call your organization's operator and initiate a code silver. Be prepared to tell the operator the location of the person carrying the weapon. Give the operator a description of the person and the actual weapon. When a code silver is initiated, the operator calls the local police department. The local police will take control of the situation when they arrive on the scene. Screen 30 of 38 Responding to a Person with a Weapon When you hear the initiation of a code silver, close all doors throughout the patient care area, including unit exit doors. Report to your manager when this task is complete to find out if you need to take further steps to secure your work area. Screen 31 of 38 Quick Check: Combative and Abusive Behavior Response ANSWER: Screen 32 of 38 Infant or Child Abduction Infant or child abduction is another serious situation that healthcare organizations may face. An abduction is an incident whereby an infant or child is missing or is taken from a designated patient care area within the healthcare organization. Initiate a code pink when an infant or child has been abducted. Screen 33 of 38 Infant or Child Abduction: Responsibilities for Employees in the Immediate Care Environment Help search the patient care area if you work in the department where the abduction took place. Additional tasks for the healthcare team to complete include: Searching nonpatient care areas, such as the staff locker rooms, equipment rooms, bathrooms, and waiting areas Notifying the pediatrician and obstetrician about the incident Contacting the Social Services and Pastoral Care Departments for assistance Maintaining patient confidentiality Moving the parents of the infant to a different room, if their room is considered part of the crime scene Reporting to your manager or supervisor for additional instructions If you have direct knowledge about the incident, work with security and law enforcement officials to document information about the kidnapper and the involved infant or child. Screen 34 of 38 Infant or Child Abduction: Responsibilities for Employees throughout the Organization When an abduction occurs, the general responsibilities of the healthcare workers throughout the healthcare organization include: Monitoring all exits that are close to the area of abduction, including the stair and elevator doors Reporting individuals who appear to be suspicious or show unusual behaviors that indicate they are the potential abductor Checking the exterior areas for persons trying to leave the grounds of your organization with bundles of items or big back packs Screen 35 of 38 Quick Check: Infant or Child Abduction ANSWER: Screen 36 of 38 Cardiac and Respiratory Arrest Some medical emergencies, such as a cardiac arrest, are assigned special emergency codes. A code blue is initiated whenever an individual in the healthcare organization experiences a cardiac or respiratory arrest. However, you would not initiate a code blue for patients who have completed an advance directive for healthcare indicating their desire not to be resuscitated. The roles and responsibilities vary for those responding to the code blue based on their scope of practice. Tasks to be performed during a code blue include: Bringing a crash cart to the location of the emergency Starting cardiopulmonary resuscitation Providing care based on the Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support standards Documenting the events of the emergency Some organizations have different codes for cardiac emergencies involving an infant or a child. Check your organization's policies and procedures. Screen 37 of 38 Evaluation of Emergency and Disaster Response Efforts After implementation of any emergency or disaster plans, a formal evaluation process should take place to determine: What went well What problems were identified Results from the evaluation should be used to modify or improve your organization’s emergency operations plan. To help improve your organization's response to emergencies and disasters, provide feedback to your manager about the response efforts. Screen 38 of 38 Summary Sound emergency and disaster management plans are essential to responding appropriately to unplanned events. Within your organization, emergencies and disasters are announced using specific code terminology to alert hospital personnel of an urgent situation. When you work in different healthcare organizations, make sure that you take the time to become familiar with the different types of codes that are used to communicate emergencies and disasters. This is especially important because many healthcare organizations use different codes for different situations. Review your organization's emergency management plan to understand what your role is when responding to emergencies and disasters. Contact your manager or supervisor if you have questions about your organization’s emergency management plan or the use of emergency codes. References The Joint Commission (TJC).

Resources Resource 1: The Phases of Emergency Management The Phases of Emergency Management The Phases of Emergency Management Phase Activities Performed During each Phase Preparedness/risk assessment Steps are taken to evaluate the organization’s weaknesses or vulnerabilities and propensity for an emergency or a disaster. Issues to consider include: Weather patterns Geographic location Expectations related to public events and gatherings Age, condition, and location of the organization Industries in close proximity to the organization, such as nuclear power plants or chemical factories Mitigation Preventative measures are taken to lessen the impact of an emergency or a disaster. Examples of mitigation activities include: Installing and maintaining backup generator power to mitigate the effects of a power failure Cross-training staff to perform other tasks to maintain services during a staffing crisis that is caused by a weather emergency Response Response includes the actual implementation of the emergency or disaster plan. The plan should include use of the incident command system. Response activities should be monitored continually and adjusted to changing situations. Recovery When an emergency or disaster subsides, the organization and staff need to recover from disrupted services. Recovery is usually easier if, during the response, some of the staff have been assigned to maintain essential services and others have been assigned to disaster response. Adapted from Veenema T.

It was not until 1847 that Ben Nevis was confirmed by the Ordnance Survey as the highest mountain in Britain, ahead of its rival Ben Macdui. The summit observatorywas built in the summer of 1883, and would remain in operation for 21 years. The first path to the summit was built at the same time as the observatory and was designed to allow ponies to carry up supplies, with a maximum gradient of one in five. The opening of the path and the observatory made the ascent of the Ben increasingly popular, all the more so after the arrival of the West Highland Railwayin Fort William in 1894. Our Route: The 1883 Pony Track to the summit (also known as the Ben Path, the Mountain Path, or the Tourist Route) remains the simplest and most popular route of ascent. It begins at Achintee on the east side of Glen Nevis about 2 km (1.5 miles) from Fort William town centre, at around 20 metres above sea level. The path starts off gently from the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre via a bridge crossing the River Nevis and affords easy walking before climbing steeply to the saddle by Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe at 570m, and then ascends the remaining 700 metres up the stony west flank of Ben Nevis in a series of zig-zags. It is well made and maintained throughout its length, and, thanks to the zig-zags, not unusually steep apart from the initial stages. Start / Finish: Glen Nevis Visitor Centre Car Park Ascent: 4350 feet Target time: Ascent: 2.5 - 3 hour / Descent: 2 - 2.5 hours Ben Nevis, although not as high as Alpine mountains, is positioned on a more northerly latitude and the climate can be considered similar to Arctic regions. While there may be a welcoming sea breeze on the shores of Loch Linnhe, 20-30 knots of chilling wind may be evident on the summit of the Ben. Many walkers/climbers find weather conditions changing within minutes - usually for the worse - as they work their way up the mountain. The dramatic effect of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain, is emphasised by the fact that it begins its rise from sea-level on the shores of Loch Linnhe, to tower 4,406ft (1,344m) above the town of Fort William, providing an almost paternal presence. The view from Britain's highest point is extensive and in ideal conditions it can extend up to 190 km (120 miles), including such mountains as the Torridon Hills, Morven in Caithness, Lochnagar, Ben Lomond, Barra Head, and 123 miles (198 km) to Knocklayd in County Antrim, Ireland.

http://3pllinks.com/fuel-surcharges-work-trucking-industry/	How do Fuel Surcharges Work in the Trucking Industry? - Third Party Logistics Toronto, 3PL, 3rd & Supply Chain Solutions	How do Fuel Surcharges Work in the Trucking Industry? What is Fuel Surcharge? How is it Calculated?	How do Fuel Surcharges Work in the Trucking Industry? - Third Party Logistics Toronto, 3PL, 3rd & Supply Chain Solutions How do Fuel Surcharges Work in the Trucking Industry? Posted on July 14, 2014 by Matt Grossi For businesses that transport their products within North America and carriers, protecting their bottom line from volatile fuel prices is an ongoing concern. One way to garner some protection from a fluctuating fuel price is the fuel surcharge. What is Fuel Surcharge? The fuel surcharge is the total cost for fuel usage. It is a contract between the shipper and another party that sets a standard rate for the fuel and how much will be paid above the base rate, and what fuel price triggers the surcharge, or no surcharge at all. How is it Calculated? There is no regulatory body governing the calculations for a fuel surcharge. The surcharge started in the 1970s in response to the OPEC fuel price spikes. The US government wanted to protect the transportation industry from fuel price volatility, and remain profitable, so the fuel charge system was developed. In Canada many shippers rely on the Freight Carriers Association of Canada (FCA), which provides the industry surcharges for less than truckload (LTL) and truckload (TL) estimates. The surcharge is set as a percentage: 8.8% for LTL, and 20.7% for TL. Many Canadian shippers use the FCA percentages to index their own surcharge, which matches an increase in the price to the surcharge to each increase in fuel prices over the baseline price. They use three variables for the fuel surcharge calculation: the baseline fuel price, the current price for fuel, and fuel costs as a share of operating costs. Fuel surcharge contracts all use a base fuel price. The base fuel price for diesel fuel will be set at price per gallon in the United States, while in Canada, the price will be per litre. The base fuel price is the fuel price used when determining cost of operation.The second part of fuel surcharges is the base for the fuel mileage. Like the base fuel price, the base fuel mileage is an agreed upon amount that estimates the mile miles per gallon that the carrier will achieve. Agreement on how to determine the current fuel price that leads to the surcharge is the third part of fuel surcharges. Both parties must agree ahead of time what prices will be used, and at what interval those prices are taken. The best source for average diesel fuel prices are government’s weekly fuel price calculations based on national averages. In Canada and the United States, government agencies provide the average cost for diesel across the country. Every Monday, Canada’s National Traffic Services revises and updates the Fuel Surcharge (FSC). In the United States, every week the US National Average On-Highway Diesel Fuel Prices is released by the Department of Energy. Fuel surcharges are not the only cost in a freight rate, but they are significant especially since they are based on fuel prices that will likely fluctuate. As long as fuel prices do remain volatile, fuel surcharges are likely to continue.	msmarco_doc_00_24397646

http://3qilabs.com/the-big-3-leading-rpa-vendors/	The Big 3: Leading RPA Vendors \| 3Qi Labs	The Big 3: Leading RPA Vendors The Big 3: Leading RPA Vendors BluePrism UIPath Automation Anywhere Takeaway	The Big 3: Leading RPA Vendors \| 3Qi Labs The Big 3: Leading RPA Vendors 12/04/2017 Posted by 3QI Labs in: RPA 0 We previously introduced RPA and discussed the coming change it will bring across a multitude of industries. Now we’ll take a look at the current leading RPA tools on the market, and analyze the pros and cons for both. BluePrism BluePrism is a pioneer of RPA, having both coined the term and being one of the first companies to offer an RPA solution. BluePrism has partnered with a variety of industry leaders including Microsoft, HP, IBM, etc. As an enterprise grade solution, BluePrism stands to handle a majority of use cases. BluePrism gives you the option to incorporate coding into your processes – giving a developer a higher level of control/precision when it comes to fine tuning the automation processes. Additionally, BluePrism serves program management by integrating with existing automation process, security, and services. BluePrism is also extremely scalable, allowing you to deploy a high number of robot instances. However, BluePrism is a higher cost solution. With limited training resources and a higher cost of training, smaller companies may not find BluePrism to be the best match for their needs. Users may also find the layout to be a little less friendly than an equivalent – and BluePrism does not offer any macro recorder capabilities (such as recording mouse events or simple keyboard activities to generate scripts). UIPath UIPath is currently a leading vendor of RPA, and serves RPA solutions to Deloitte, Ernst Young, SAP, & J.P. Morgan. UiPath offers three flagship RPA products: UiPath Studio Front Office and Back Office – UiPath Robots UiPath Orchestrator UIPath is user friendly, and caters to the RPA beginner – by being easy to learn, it is a great entry level tool for RPA. Their drag and drop UI interface makes designing your workflows intuitive and relatively painless – and above all, is visually appealing. There is a multitude of resources dedicated to learning different facets of UIPath, from Youtube tutorials to online user guides (such as the UIPath Academy ). UIPath also offers a free community edition of their platform, allowing a user to experiment and learn before purchasing. UIPath sacrifices a bit of control in being as accessible as it is – however, this wouldn’t be an issue for an entry level user. Automation Anywhere Yet another RPA Vendor, Automation Anywhere is being utilized in over 500 global enterprises & has partnered with companies such as IBM, KPMG, and Accenture. Automation Anywhere is more developer centric – there is less to be garnered on the visual/readable side, but you’re provided more options/control – and in Java, which may be more preferable for some. You get a large selection of task widgets, and a storyboard function that documents scripts with screenshots. Additionally, Automation Anywhere is interesting in providing traditional RPA alongside cognitive elements like reading unstructured data, and organic language processing. However, first time RPA users may not find Automation Anywhere as initially friendly user-friendly. Takeaway As RPA inevitably grows, we’ll start to see other big players emerge; for now, UIPath, BP, and AA are leading the way. Coupled with it’s interface and resources, UIPath stands to be a great entry point for someone delving into RPA for the first time. BluePrism and Automation Anywhere are solid solutions for a developer with RPA experience who may be looking to deploy robots on a larger scale, and with more precise control options.	msmarco_doc_00_24405564

Rating: 6.6/ 10 (13 votes cast) Meet Me In Venice might well be the title of a cheeky romantic comedy, yet it’s anything but that. In this film by Eddy Terstall you’ll join Liza and her father Mauro on a trip to Istanbul, and a journey to find each other and themselves. After twenty-eight years of not seeing her father, it’s sure to be a bumpy ride. When Liza ( Roberta Petzoldt) was only three years old, her father left to never come back. Three years later, her mom died, causing Liza to grow op in a foster family. Now, at age 31, she lives with her boyfriend and son in Holland when suddenly her father gets back in touch with her. He asks her to come to Venice and meet up for a week. While she’s been umming and ahing for a long time, she decides to go, in the hopes of finding an answer to some questions she always wanted to ask her father. Once arrived in Venice, Mauro ( Beppe Costa ), her father, immediately takes her on a tour around the city. Liza feels a bit awkward about it at first, as it feels more like a guided tour than an opportunity to get to know each other. Nonetheless, she decides to roll with it, but when her father asks her to come with him to Ljubljana the following day to deliver a package to a friend, things get even more strange. Liza lets him guide the way though. He tells her that he is a musician and travelled the world in his younger years playing music. Once arrived in Ljubljana, the friend her father talked about turns out not to be there, and thus the journey continues to Croatia and even further. Mauro is taking her to Istanbul over the route of the Orient Express. While traveling, he is still much a tour guide, but every now and then, Liza does get to know him better, and he even explains why he took her on this extraordinary journey. She meets friends of his, hears him making music, and slowly he starts to grow on her. But while she thought she’d come to Venice just to get to know her father, she actually gets to know herself as well. An unexpected twist accompanies the story right from the start. You will see Liza talking to a camera as if she were filming a diary, which turns out to be some kind of video message to her son. In it, she tells the whole story of her going on this crazy trip, and from then on the film keeps shifting between the actual things happening and Liza talking about them afterwards. This alteration allows you to get more of an insight into what Liza was really thinking and feeling, and also makes you see that she is struggling with herself, and with the fact that she never had a proper childhood and consequently never really grew up. The journey on which the two embark makes sure that the film has a constant flow, but next to that, there is also some decent character development. Liza and Mauro get to know each other and themselves, making the journey not only a trip to Istanbul, but also a road to inner rest for both of them. What’s particularly nice about this, is that a lot is left for you to ponder on, instead of laying it all out as can be the case sometimes in more commercial films. What they didn’t leave to the imagination is Liza’s body. Roberta Petzoldt is naked in quite a lot of the scenes which isn’t a bad thing, but does feel a bit unnecessary. Roberta Petzoldt and Beppe Costa both do a superb job in this film. Apart from their characters, there are hardly any to be mentioned, yet just the two of them are really able to carry the story. Petzoldt is very convincing and certainly at the beginning in her video message, she almost makes you believe that you put on a documentary instead of a movie. Costa is the ideal person to play a character such as Mauro, as he speaks both Italian and English quite fluently, and he plays his own music. It’s always a big plus to see that an actor can actually play the music his character plays, rather than playback, even though it takes a very talented person to do so. Extras are nowhere to be found on this release, but for a film such as this one, it’s not really a big issue. The movie stands very well on its own and while it is always fun to have some kind of bonus feature, we didn’t miss it at all. Conclusion Meet Me In Venice is quite an intriguing film due to the alteration between the actual story and Liza’s video message, but also because the story is quite simple, yet unusual. The main actors’ brilliant performances really lift this film up to a higher level. It’s something completely different than your average ‘woman-meets-her-biological-father-for-the-first-time’ story, yet certainly worth the watch. VN:F [1.9.22_1171] please wait...

http://3rdave.blogspot.com/2006/08/definition-of-stupidity.html	The Third Avenue: the definition of stupidity	The Third Avenue The Third Avenue Sunday, August 27, 2006 the definition of stupidity Popular Posts	The Third Avenue: the definition of stupidity The Third Avenue Sunday, August 27, 2006 the definition of stupidity "The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." — Albert Einstein A new article in the Salt Lake Tribune lays this message out somewhat subtly. Last year, President Bush came to Salt Lake for a older military veteran club conference, hoping to kick off a campaign that would rebound his support (at least amoung his conservative base) on the Iraq War and in general. Of course, Bush went down hill from there amoung all Americans and now somewhere between 55-60% of Americans disapprove of the course we are staying on in Iraq...and have done so for several months now. This was due in no small part to what happened the day after Bush spoke to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW): Katrina. "That just dominated all other issues - local and national issues," Utah Republican Party Chairman Joe Cannon said. "There's no question that Katrina sucked the wind out of everything, including the president's views on Iraq. "And that was the story for months." It laid bare that Bush's cronyism, incompetance, and ideology over reality can directly hurt Americans back home too, and not just those who signed up to join the armed forces. This year, the Bush White House is sending not just Bush, but Condi and Rummy to an American Legionniares conference in Salt Lake in an attempt to bail out his, and his party's, abismal approval ratings. Also this year, another storm looms in the Carribean threatening New Orleans, whose leeves are admittedly still not up to snuff. At the time of Bush's last speech in Salt Lake City, about 38 percent of adults nationwide supported his handling of the war in Iraq, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll. This month, the same pollsters found just 30 percent of the country still felt confident in Bush's war leadership. And yet, they try again to convince us with the same "cut and run" language that they are right and we--the majority--are wrong. And although the majority of Utahns still support Bush because he is a religious conservative man who is in power, the rest of America is willing to give Democrats a shot at Congress. Were that 2006 were 2004, and Bush's days would truely be numbered. As it is, he will stubbornly hang around as investigations reveal the true disasterousness of his presidency. My own view? Iraq may need to be divided into three states now, with UN/NATO peacekeepers squelching the violence as much as possible, a giant Yugoslavia of our own making. The US military cannot bomb our way into ending a civil war, we need Arab allies and other nations to go back into Iraq and try to create peace and stability, but none I fear will want to go. The Iraqis on some level don't trust us anymore, but we cannot leave them to their own devices...some sort of troops need to be there. Right now, Iraq and Afghanistan are failed states, breeding grounds for terrorists and extremists of all sorts. We can't let them stay that way. In order to win this war that started on September 11, 2001, the people of the middle east need hope: hope that they can get a good paying job to support their family, hope that they can walk down the streets and go shopping without fearing death or pain, hope that life can get better, hope that their leaders are responsive to their needs, hope for peace and security. All these people have now is dispair. This means creating a viable Palistinan state, complete with access to jobs, housing, and drinking water. This means ending corruption and cronyism in middle east countries. This means ending using hate and religion to keep the public distracted from a failure of governing. Of course this is a tall order, but Europe too was mired in nasty religious wars for centuries until the end of World War II. The creation of the EU, NATO, and the Warsaw Pact helped create peace, stability and economic growth. Now, a war in Europe is a laughable idea. Oh and if you think things are terrible in the middle east now, wait until the oil really starts to run out.

http://3rdgradereading.net/about/	About \| 3rdgradereading	3rdgradereading 3rdgradereading About Why a book review site just for 3rd grade readers? Why 21st Century, Contemporary Literature for Kids? Common Core Standards Require New Reading Levels Sue Poduska	About \| 3rdgradereading 3rdgradereading About Why a book review site just for 3rd grade readers? Because reading change lives. Because 3rd graders move from short texts to short chapter books, reading with great comprehension–and the right books help. Because good readers do well in school, and that means a bright future–and the right books help. Because books introduce readers to the wider world–and the right books help. 3rdGradeReading.NET provides recommendations for contemporary grade-level appropriate books for third graders — it’s an online, constantly updated third grade reading list for Common Core. Why 21st Century, Contemporary Literature for Kids? What does your child or student watch on TV? Reruns of “I Love Lucy”? Reruns of “Gomer Pyle”? Reruns of “Lassie”? There’s nothing wrong with classics, but if your student ONLY watches reruns, something is out of whack. Today’s students need today’s literature. Not reruns. A recent study of books read by kids revealed that Dr. Seuss was the most popular author for K-3rd grades. The classics are great, we love them. But it appears that classics are 75-80% of what kids are reading in school. Something is out of whack. Instead, 3rdGradeReading wants to encourage kids to read contemporary literature, nonfiction and fiction. Publishers are turning out exciting, engaging, contemporary work in every genre. Kids are missing out on books meant for their generation. Common Core Standards Require New Reading Levels Education reform, the Common Core State Standards, also requires a more complex texts at an earlier grade. We recommend grade-level appropriate, contemporary books for kids. For third grade readers, the recommended Common Core Standards reading levels are 450-790 Lexile. Lexile is a measure of the grade level and text complexity of a book. All books included in this site are within this Lexile range. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. For example, the classic novel Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck falls within this Lexile range. But the topics and emotional content of the book is high school level. We take into account the content of a book before including here. Books recommended here are within the correct Lexile range AND the content is recommended for second grade readers. More questions? Read our FAQ. Sue Poduska Sue is a lifetime lover of books and is dedicated to putting quality literature into the hands of young people. When she is not directing activity on the grade reading sites, she is a Co-Regional Advisor for the Maryland/Delaware/ West Virginia region of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

http://3rdmarines.net/Vietnam_operation_harvestmoon2.htm			Operation HarvestMoon GUEST BOOK Operation Harvest Moon Official USMC After Action Report December, 1965 The plan for OPERATION HARVEST MOON / LIEN KET 18 directed the 5th ARVN Regiment, consisting of the Headquarters Group and 1st Battalion and the 11th Ranger Battalion to enter the Que Son Valley along the Thang Binh-Hiep Duc road on 8 December 1965. The objective for the first day was a point south of the village of Que Son, 8 miles southwest of Route 1. According to allied intelligence sources, the 1st VC Regiment was west of this area; contact was not expected until the second day. On 9 December, Lt. Colonel Utter's battalion was to be inserted behind the enemy to force them eastward into the advancing ARVN. Lt. Colonel Dorsey's battalion would then be inserted to reinforce Utter's unit when needed. The VC Strike...and the Marines are committed. The 5th ARVN Regiment left Thang Binh on schedule with the 11th Ranger Battalion on the right of the road, and the Regiment's 1st Battalion on the left. During the first few hours, the advance was uneventful. At 1330, about half way to Que Son the Ranger battalion was ambushed by the 70th VC Battalion.* The enemy allowed the ARVN to close within twenty meters and then opened fire. In the first 15 minutes of the battle, the Rangers lost nearly one third of their personnel and were overrun. According to an American advisor who was with the ARVN force, "They attacked in a mass and hit us from all sides...people were dropping around us right and left." The badly mauled Ranger unit was able to withdraw to a position 1200 meters to the northwest and then called in Marine air support. Skyhawks from MAG-12 at Chu Lai attacked the Communist positions while Marine helicopters evacuated many of the casualties. The first ARVN Battalion attempted to reinforce the rangers but was unable to cross the road because of enemy mortar fire and the U.S. air strikes. Later in the afternoon, General Lam, using 10 UH34Ds from Lt. Colonel Rex Denney, Jr's HMM-161, moved the 1st Battalion, 6th ARVN Regiment from Tam Key to reinforce the surviving rangers and established a night defensive perimeter. The next morning, the 5th ARVN Regiment command group and its 1st Battalion bore the weight of the VC attack. Although the battalion had been probed during the night, it had not seen heavy action. On 9 December, at about 0645, the 60th and 80th VC Battalions struck. In the heavy fighting that followed, both the 1st Battalion and the regimental command group were overrun. The ARVN regimental commander was killed and the ARVN force was scattered to the south and east. At about the same time, another VC battalion attacked the 6th ARVN Regiment to the northeast, but this ARVN unit managed to hold its ground. At this point, General Henderson decided to commit his Marines. At 1000 hours, UH-3Ds from Denny's HMM-161 and Lt. Colonel LLoyd Childers HMM-361 lifted Utter's 2nd Battalion from Tam Key to a landing zone 5 1/2 miles west of the ARVN troops. After the landing, the battalion moved northeast, securing a hill mass 2,500 meters from the landing zone by late afternoon. Utter's Marines encountered only a few Viet Cong and one of his platoon leaders complained: "The enemy always seemed one step ahead of us." The same afternoon, General Henderson directed Dorsey's 3rd battalion, 3rd Marines to land 1 1/2 miles southeast of the 5th ARVN Regiment's 1st Battalion and then move to link up with the shattered South Vietnamese unit. Lt. Colonel Dorsey's 3/3 Marines had left Da Nang by motor convoy that morning and were at the logistics support area on Route 1, 3 miles north of Thang Binh. Lt. Colonel Mervin B. Porter's HMM-261, the SLF helicopter squadron on board the LPHValley Forge, was assigned the mission of ferrying the battalion into a landing zone southeast of the 5th ARVN Regiment's command group and its 1st Battalion The 3rd Battalion landed at 1400 hours, and an hour and a half later, the battalion's lead unit, Company L, made contact with elements of the ARVN battalion and pushed northwestward toward Hill 43, 1 1/2 miles from the landing zone. Before the Marines could reach the hill, they ran into a force of 200 VC. The firefight raged into the early evening. Supported by Marine air and artillery, Dorsey estimated that his battalion had killed 75 VC. Eleven Marines were dead and 17 wounded. The VC broke contact as darkness fell and the battalion established night positions. The next morning, the Marines took Hill 43, where they joined 40 South Vietnamese soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 5th Regiment. On the 10th of December, General Henderson ordered Utter to drive east and Dorsey to push northwest to compress the enemy between them. The avenue of escape to the south was to be closed by Lt. Colonel Robert T. Hannifin Jr's 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, the SLF battalion which would be lifted into the area by Porter's HMM-261. At 1100, 15 UH-34Ds from theValley Forgelifted the assault elements of Company F to a landing zone near the hamlet of Cam La, 5 miles southeast of Que Son. As the helicopters landed, they came under heavy 12.7mm machine gun fire from emplacements on Hill 407, 2,000 meters to the south. The intense, heavy caliber fire surprised the Marines. Colonel Michael R. Yunck, the 1st MAW G3, who had volunteered to act as Tactical Air Controller (Airborne) for the assault mission remembered: "We thought the LZ was far enough from the hill to the south to nullify effective fire from that distance and pretty well scrubbed the immediate area of the LZ." As the assault helicopters lifted off, Yunck maneuvered his UH-1E over the landing zone to locate the enemy gunners, but in the process was wounded by a 12.7 round. His Co-pilot, Major Edward Kuykendall, took control of the air operation and directed the remaining helicopters carrying Hannifin's command group and Company G to land in another LZ further west. Company F at the first landing site was in trouble. The enemy kept the Marines under continuous machine gun fire and then opened up with mortars and small arms fire. The company took what cover it could in the open rice paddies and waited for reinforcements. Since the rest of the battalion had landed to the west, the task force commander ordered a company from Utter's battalion to move south to aid the hard-hit unit. Company E, 2/7, pushed southward to Hannifin's Company F, but was hit on its right flank by enemy fire. With some difficulty, Company E reached an area from which it could support the stranded company. Company F began withdrawing under the relief force's covering fire. Ten hours after the first helicopter had landed. Hannifin's battalion command group, Company's G and F, and Company E from Utter's battalion joined forces. Both Companies E and F had suffered substantial casualties during the day...20 dead and over 80 wounded.* As darkness fell on the battlefield that day, General Walt relieved General Henderson. Brigadier General Jonas M. Platt became the head of Task Force Delta. General Platt, appraised of the battle situation, ordered another of Utter's companies to reinforce the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. Company G, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines arrived at Hannifin's position at 0300 the next morning. The Search of the Phouc Ha Valley On the 11th of December Task Force Delta manuevered to consolidate its position, and General Platt, airborne in a helicopter, studied the terrain from which the Marines of Company F and helicopters of HMM-261 had received such extensive fire on the 10th of December. The General, surprised that his craft did not draw any fire, surmised that the Viet Cong must have abandoned their positions on Hill 407 during the night. Platt, therefore, ordered Col. Utter to seize the hill, a task which 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines accomplished without opposition. In the interim, Col. Dorsey's 3rd Battalion searched the area north of Hill 407, while the remaining two companies of Hannifin's 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines were helolifted from the ARG ships to join the battalion. By the end of the day, it was apparent that the enemy, except for a few snipers, had vanished. General Platt suspected that the regiment had retreated into the Phouc Ha Valley, a smaller valley paralleling the Que Son Valley, 5 miles to the southeast. The Phouc Ha Valley was known VC base area. When General Thi was questioned about going into the valley after the Communists, The I Corps commander replied, "Be very, very careful." On the afternoon of the 11th, Platt was visited by Brigadier General William DePuy, General Westmoreland's J-3, who suggested that USAF B-52s from Guam could strike the objective area before the Marines entered. General Platt accepted the offer and the first of several B-52 raids occurred on the morning of the 12th. General Platt, on board a helicopter observed the first strike and directed Dorsey and Hannifin to move their battalions in to exploit the bombing mission. During the afternoon, Hannifin's battalion deployed south of the valley while Dorsey moved along two ridges, Hills 100 and 180, overlooking the northern entrances to the Phuoc Ha Valley. During the night of 12 December, General Platt ordered Dorsey to move 1,000 meters to the north so that the B52's could strike the valley again. The next morning, after the second B52 air strike, the two Marine battalions entered the valley from both the north and the south. While searching the target area, Dorsey's battalion did not find the 1st VC Regiment, but discovered large amounts of enemy supplies and equipment. The two battalions remained in the valley for the next few days, but encountered little organized resistance. The fight at Ky Phu While the two battalions were operating in the Phouc Ha Valley, Utter's battalion sought the VC along the northern bank of the Song Chang, also known as the Khang River, seven miles south of Que Son. The battalion then turned eastward toward Tam Ky, sweeping the southern boundary of the Harvest Moon objective area. The Marines had more trouble with the weather than the enemy. Except for occasional snipers, the enemy could not be located, but the monsoon rains harassed the Marines every step. During the prolonged search, the battalion slogged over 20 miles through extremely rugged terrain, varying from rice paddies to jungle-covered hills. On 18 December, the 2nd Bn, 7th Marines, on the last leg of its long trek, encountered the 80th VC Battalion in strength. Earlier that morning, after evacuating 54 Marines suffering from immersion foot, the battalion moved out in column formation with company G in the lead, followed by Company F, H&S, and Company H, 2nd Bn, 9th Marines. The Marines moved along a narrow road which wound through hedgerow-bordered rice paddies. The Viet Cong allowed the lead company to pass through the village of Ky Phu before opening fire on the Company G advance guard. At first, Col. Utter thought that the enemy force consisted only of a few snipers and ordered Company G to clear the area south of the road and moved Company F forward. Company F had just passed through the east end of Ky Phu when enemy mortar rounds dropped on H&S Company, still in the open paddies west of the hamlet. Two VC companies tried to enter the gap between Company F and H&S and envelop Utter's command group and H&S Company. 1st Lt. Nicholas Grosz, Jr. recalled that he crossed the area between his company and the battalion command group and told Col. Utter of the "H&S deteriorating situation". Realizing that he was engaged with a major enemy force, the battalion commander ordered Company F to turn and attack the "main VC positions on the H&S right flank." Supported by "Huey" gunships and accurate artillery from Battery M, 4th Battalion, 11th Marines, the Marines counterattacked. Company F rolled up the VC from the rear while H&S Company fought its way into Ky Phu. According to Grosz, who accompanied the lead elements of Company F in the attack, "Once we got them going, the VC just broke and ran. It was just like a turkey shoot." At the rear of the column, Company H remained in contact with the enemy; a VC company struck the Marines from both flanks and the rear. Both the company commander and his radio operator were mortally wounded. 1st Lt. Harvey C. Barnum, the attached artillery forward observer, did what he could to save the two dying Marines, strapped the radio on his back and assumed command. The young officer rallied the company and the Marines established a defensive position on a small hill north of the road. After four hours of fighting, Barnum led Company H into Ky Phu and rejoined the battalion.**** By nightfall, the fight at Ky Phu was over. The 80th VC Battalion broke, leaving 104 bodies on the battlefield, 76 of them killed by the artillery fire. Col. Utter's command had sustained 11 killed and 71 wounded. The Wrap-Up The next day, 19 December, all three of the Marine battalions completed their movement out of the operation area. For all practical purposes, the Operation was over, but Operation Harvest Moon / Lien Ket ended officially on 20 December when all allied forces returned to their enclaves. The combined USMC-ARVN operation had accounted for 407 enemy killed, 33 captured, and 13 crew-served and 95 individual weapons seized. In addition, 60 tons of food and ammunition were taken in the Phuoc Ha Valley. Marine casualties were 45 killed and 218 wounded. General Lam's forces suffered 90 killed, 91 missing, and 141 wounded, most occurring during the first two days of the operation. Operation Harvest Moon was not without its problems. The hastily established provisional headquarters, the fast moving ground situation, poor weather conditions, and the large number of tactical aircraft operating over the Que Son Valley caused coordination and control difficulties. Marines learned valuable lessons in air/ground coordination for future operations, Harvest Moon was the last of the Marine's big battles in 1965. These large-scale efforts had become a regular feature of the war for General Walt's forces. During the last half of its first calendar year in country, III MAF conducted 15 operations of battalion size or larger. American intelligence agencies indicated that during 1966, General Walt's forces would face even larger enemy forces as North Vietnamese troops entered South Vietnam to join their Vietcong comrades. The big unit actions were only one aspect of the Marine war, nevertheless, in I Corps, According to Lt. General Victor Krulak: ...we cannot be entrapped in the dangerous premise that destruction of the VC organized units per se is the whole answer to winning the war, any more than we can accept the erroneous view that pacification and civic action will solve the problem if major enemy forces are free to roam the countryside. * The 70th Battalion, although not organic to the 1st VC Regiment, was attached during this period. Colonel Ralph E. Sullivan recalled that information on Harvest Moon was severely restricted. According to Sullivan, the 5th ARVN regimental commander was told his mission "was to be a routine 'sweep and clear' along Highway 1 to the vicinity of Key Lam. Upon reaching the vicinity of Thang Binh [the regimental commander] was brought to the "bunker" at Da Nang about 1500 on 7 December and apprised of his actual mission. General Thi warned us not to discuss the operation with any of the ARVN except for a select few in his own headquarters and that of General Lam's. The fact that at 1330 hours, 8 December the 11th ARVN Ranger Battalion walked into a "prepared" ambush is prima facie evidence that if the regimental commander was kept in the dark, the commander of the 1st VC Regiment was not." Colonel Yunck was the 1963 Marine Aviator of the Year. He was awarded his second Silver Star for his actions during Harvest Moon. His leg had to be amputated as a result of the wound he suffered during the battle. One of those casualties was Captain James E. Page, Company F commander, who had been pronounced dead on the battlefield. The next day medical personnel checking the bodies detected a faint heart beat and evacuated Capt. Page to a hospital The captain recovered. *Lt. Barnum was performing temporary duty in Vietnam from his permanent station at Marine Barracks, Pearl Harbor. He had volunteered for 60 days of "on-the-job" training under the FMPac combat indoctrination program. For his heroic exploits in this engagement, Lt. Barnum was awarded the Medal of Honor. End Official Report ***Battling Under Harvest Moon By; Al Hemingway Operation Harvest Moon/Lien Ket 18 was designed to drive the notorious 1st Viet Cong (VC) Regiment from the fertile Nui Loc Son Basin, also called the Que Son Valley, in I Corps' Quang Tin province. However, the operation did not begin on a victorious note. With the 1st Battalion, 5th Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) Regiment, on the left and the 11th ARVN Ranger Battalion on the right, the South Vietnamese units departed their headquarters at Thang Binh for the village of Que Son on December 8, 1965. Early that afternoon, the ARVN units were ambushed by elements of the 70th VC Battalion, which was attached to the 1st VC Regiment at that time. As the ARVN soldiers moved to within 20 meters of the ambush site, the enemy let loose a broadside of automatic weapons fire and rocket-propelled-grenade (RPG) rounds. The Rangers sustained heavy losses and were overrun. The 5th ARVN Regiment was hit hard as well. The South Vietnamese commanders had been told only that the operation was "a routine sweep and clear along Highway 1 to the vicinity of Ky Lam." The top ARVN leaders had kept their officers in the dark about the details of the operation. Marine Douglas A-4 Skyhawk fighter-bombers were soon on the scene to render valuable air support to the beleaguered ARVNs. As the Skyhawks hammered Communist positions, Brig. Gen. Hoang Xuan Lam, leader of the 2nd ARVN Division, dispatched the 1st Battalion, 6th ARVN Regiment, to aid the battered Rangers. In the early morning hours of December 9, the 60th and 80th VC battalions from the 1st VC Regiment struck the 1st Battalion, 5th ARVN Regiment. The regimental commander was struck down in the heavy fighting, and the South Vietnamese retreated. Meanwhile, Communist forces assaulted the lines of the 1st Battalion, 6th ARVN Regiment. Fortunately, they held against the onslaught of the enemy attack. To help the besieged ARVN forces, Task Force Delta commander Brig. Gen. Melvin D. Henderson (succeeded on December 10 by Brig. Gen. Jonas M. Platt) ordered Lt. Col. Leon N. Utter's 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, reinforced by H Company, 9th Marines, to be helolifted approximately five miles west of the ARVN forces. At the same time, Lt. Col. Joshua W. Dorsey's 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, were choppered to a landing zone just a mile or so southeast of the ARVN soldiers. Both Marine battalions were ordered to push ahead and make contact with the ARVNs. Dorsey's lead company, Lima Company 3/3, moved in a northwesterly direction toward Hill 43, encountering a VC unit of considerable size. As the Marines fought their tenacious foes, air strikes and artillery barrages drove the enemy back. An estimated 92 VC were killed, while 11 Marines were killed and 17 Marines were wounded. The next day, the battalion occupied Hill 43 and rescued 40 ARVN soldiers trapped there. As the Marine battalions attempted to squeeze the VC into a tight pocket, Lt. Col. Robert T. Hanifin, Jr.'s 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines (2/1), the Special Landing Force battalion, was sent in to plug the gap and destroy the enemy. However, as Fox Company, 2/1, was inserted into the landing zone, it was subjected to heavy automatic-weapons fire. The battle raged for 10 hours before the hard-hit company was extracted from the area by Utter's Marines. On December 11, the 1st VC Regiment withdrew to the Phuoc Ha Valley, north of Chu Lai. Major General Nyugen Chanh Thi, ARVN I Corps commander, warned the pursuing Marines "to be very, very careful." The enemy was known to be using the valley as a staging area. Before the Marines went into Phuoc Ha, Boeing B-52's saturated the area. The Marines uncovered large caches of materiel in the valley but did not locate the 1st VC Regiment. On December 20, Operation Harvest Moon/Lien Ket 18 was declared officially finished. In the end, 407 VC had been killed, 33 captured and numerous crew-served and automatic weapons confiscated. Also, 60 tons of supplies and equipment had been seized in the Phuoc Ha Valley. The leathernecks sustained 45 killed and 218 wounded. The ARVN forces had 90 killed, 141 wounded and 91 missing in action. For the remainder of their tenure in South Vietnam, the Marines would continue to struggle for control of the important Que Son Valley and the surrounding area. The leathernecks realized its strategic value--and so did the enemy. See Op Harvest Moonby; Bob Neener Lima 3/3/3	msmarco_doc_00_24428485

For those who have never played this awesome game before I will recommend to read the small review before starting to play. The game was developed by Mcleod in 2015 year and become very popular all over the world because of the huge success of the previous versions of the game. The idea of the game is simple – you have to fight for your life with different enemies and try to win all battles. The series of Super Smash Flash games are famous for the popular character and lots of innovative game modes. For example, in Super Smash Flash 3 you can play a traditional 1vs1 fighting game as well as 2vs2, where you can fight with your friend against computer. Super Smash Flash 3 Gameplay This game was developed as a traditional fighting game and it’s based on the popular Super Smash Bros nintendo game. The game is not the complete clone of the video game, it has different mechanics and graphics but the main idea is same : variety of well-known characters. All of those characters are very popular, for example the Super Smash Flash 3 features : Pikachu,Sonic,Mario and lot’s of other characters from cartoons and games. The gameplay is smooth enough to give players outstanding experience. How to play Super Smash Flash 3 The game offers more than 30 characters and all of them are really different. Not only by the outlook but also by the skills. Some of the characters are more strong in close fight, while others can jump high and make damage in long-distance battle. Also remember that all of them have ability to perform a special attack which is called Final Smash. If you manage to make the final smash, your enemy will probably die. Hope that you will enjoy the game. [Total: 3824 Average: 4.5]	msmarco_doc_00_24477295
http://3typesofheattransfer2.blogspot.com/	3 Types of Heat Transfer	3 Types of Heat Transfer 3 Types of Heat Transfer Wednesday, December 2, 2009	3 Types of Heat Transfer 3 Types of Heat Transfer Wednesday, December 2, 2009 Welcome to the blog of Pranav and Chaitanya! Our blog will educate you about the three types of heat transfer. Have you ever roasted a marshmallow over a campfire? Have you smelt the smoke coming from the roasted marshmallow? Or did you feel warmth from the fire? In each of these situations, you experienced the work of the three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction, or direct heat, occurs when the faster moving molecules of the fire collide with the cooler molecules of the marshmallow, causing them to move faster and become hot. Diagram 1 The diagram (#1) above shows the metal rod conducting heat to the person's hand. Some solids, unlike the metal rod, are poor conductors of heat, making them excellent for insulating heat. These solids are called insulators. Some examples of insulators would include wood or plastic, which is often used for making handles for pots and pans. Conduction is also found in movie theaters. Popcorn machines used radiation (another type of heat transfer), and convection. Convection is heat transfer by air, or liquid. the popcorn is heated by the air surrounding it. The light inside the popcorn machine produces infrared rays, which proves that popcorn machine produces radiation. You may not know it, but just the scent of popcorn is a form of convection. Back home, let us say that you are cooking something on the stove. This would be a form of conduction. The hot molecules from the stove collide with the cool molecules of the food. This is called conduction or direct heat. Diagram 2 The picture above shows a thermos, another example of an insulator. People use the thermos for keeping water the same temperature it originally was for a considerable amount of time. The thermos creates a vacuum which keeps the speed of the molecules the same. Instead letting the warm and cool molecules collide, the thermos doesn't let any air in or out. When heat is transferred through liquids such as water, or gases, this is called convection. Typical examples include breathing hot air on your hands during a cold day. The heat from your mouth warms up your hands. This transfer of heat by air is convection. When liquids such as water are heated, their molecules move faster and farther apart. This decreases their density and makes the molecules lighter. Now, the heavier surrounding molecules sin down, pushing the lighter molecules upward, creating a convection current. One may have never realized this, yet there are convection currents everywhere. Convection currents tell us how wind currents are formed, how houses are heated, how birds can fly, and even why smoke rises. Diagram 3 Diagram 3, above shows how warm air rises and cool air sinks in the air. This is so, since the heated warm molecules are pushed upwards by the heavier cool air molecules. This is why warm air rises and cool air sinks. This doesn't happen so just in the air, but in our homes as well. But why does hot air rise? This is because of the P rinciple of Buoyancy, where denser molecules sink, and the less dense molecules, such as the hot air molecules, rise. Take a cork, for example. If one would drop the cork into a jar of water, it would float, since it is less dense. Water has a density of 1. Therefore, the cork has a density less than one since it floats. What would happen if you dropped a coin in to the jar? It would sink as it is denser. The Principle of Buoyancy does not only apply to liquids, but to gasses as well. Diagram 4 The diagram above shows a house whose heating system relies on the principle of buoyancy. Most houses have a cycle of hot air and cool air, where the furnace heats up the air, sending the hot air up to the second level, where the hot air cools, and sinks back to the heating furnace. The following video helps one understand more about convection and how heating in your house works. (the video talks about heating in houses around 2:00) Let's go back to Diagram 2, with the picture of a thermos. Since it created a vacuum to stop the molecules from outside to enter and the molecules inside exiting, conduction and convection did not occur. Unlike conduction or convection, radiative heat energy can be transferred through a vacuum in the form of electromagnetic waves by radiation. This is similar to the way light and radio waves travel. These heat waves, also known as infrared waves, travel from heat sources such as the sun, a light bulb, or even a flashlight! Diagram 5 Diagram 5 (above) shows a great example of radiation playing a role in our daily lives. Ninety-three million miles away, the sun sends out infrared heat waves through space, to the Earth. The rays enter the atmosphere, and soon reach the clouds, where the rays reflect off the clouds. Not all of the infrared rays are reflected off the clouds; some are absorbed by water, dust, and 03. While infrared rays are being emitted by the sun, infrared radiation is being emitted by the surface of the Earth. These rays are being sent through sky, out of the atmosphere, and into space. Radiation not only occurs in outer space, but also in our every day lives. Infrared waves can be sent through light bulbs. There are several different types of light bulbs- incandescent, flourescent, halogen, LED. Incandescent bulbs produce 98% heat energy. If you touch an incandescent light bulb, you would experience conduction. If you keep your hands close to the bulb, you would feel warm air. This is convection. Congratulations! You have learnt all about the three types of heat transfer! Now you can test your skills in the quiz (it's actually a poll) located in the upper right hand corner and the top of our blog. Good luck! The molecules in a solid are tightly packed together, and they move slightly, vibrating in a fixed position as illustrated in an ice cube. When heat energy is added , the molecule move faster and break free from their fixed position changing from a solid into a liquid state. This process is called "melting". When an object melts, the molecules in the solid move farther and farther apart until they reach a liquid state. You can watch the following videos to learn more about atoms and molecules. There is more space between the molecules in a liquid allowing them to move more freely. When heat energy is added to water, its molecules move faster, colliding with each other until they move freely into space , changing into a gaseous state called "steam". The process of changing from a liquid to a gas is called "evaporation". While transitioning from the state of liquid to gas, the particles in the matter move farther and farther apart until they have reached the state of gas. Molecules in a gas are farthest apart and move freely in space. When a liquid is heated and changes quickly into a gas, as in boiling waster, that is called "rapid evaporation".
