When you get a divorce, you’ve got a lot of things on your mind, things that you need to take care of. You need to decide how the property is going to be divided, whether alimony will be paid and if so how much, what will happen to the house, how mutual debts will be taken care of. And, most importantly, what will happen to the children. You love your children and want what’s best for them, and you have to determine whether that will involve them staying with you or living with your spouse.

Deciding your children’s future is called determining custody. While you may be used to thinking of custody as who the child stays with, it is actually more complex than this. Where they live is just part of the issue. Not only is there physical custody, but there is also legal custody. And, additionally, there is both sole and joint custody, which determine which parents have the rights to both physical and legal custody.

What is Physical Custody?

Physical custody is what you’re used to thinking of as simply custody. It is the right to live with the children and to be their parent on a daily basis. If you have custody, you’ll be making the sorts of decisions about them like when they’re going to bed and what they’re having for breakfast. You’ll also get to have a special, one-on-one relationship with them. Physical custody can be either sole or joint. In sole custody, only one parent has this right. Courts often award sole custody to one parent if the other is unfit, or has a partner who is unfit. This usually means that the parent has drug or alcohol dependency issues, or a history of abuse.

However, most courts are moving away from regularly awarding sole custody, so that divorced fathers can have more of a role in raising their children. In joint physical custody, parents share these duties, with the children splitting time between the parents and usually trading off for major holidays. Naturally, this necessitates that the parents live near each other.

What is Legal Custody?

Legal custody is the right to share in making decisions concerning the future and well-being of your children. This includes decisions about the schools your children go to, the medical care they receive, and the religion they are raised in. Legal custody is almost always joint, and the courts will only award sole custody in certain extreme cases. If you have joint legal custody and your ex-spouse is not including you in the decision process, you can bring him or her to court and the judge will enforce the terms of the divorce.

Now that you have set up a physical therapy website the next step is to promote it so that you can generate traffic, which ultimately translates into patient referrals or clients for your physical therapy business.

There are three sources of traffic for any website:

1. Direct traffic: This is traffic coming from people who directly go to the website. News sites like the New York Times tend to have big traffic coming directly. People are aware of these websites because of brand popularity and go to them for their daily dose of news.

2. Referral Traffic: Referral traffic is the traffic that comes from other websites that link to your site. This can be sites like Facebook, Twitter, article directories or any other website that links to you and sends traffic your way. Popular websites and blogs have a lot of referral traffic. Plenty of other bloggers and people read them and send tweets about them or link to them with their own blogs.

3. Search Traffic: This is by far the major source of traffic for most websites and refers to people searching something on search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Users typically find your website in the search results and click on the link to get to your website.

When you are starting out with your website or blog it is important to focus on getting traffic. Search engine traffic can bring a constant flow of visitors to your site which can potentially lead to potential clients, customers or patient referrals.

Search traffic is really important and you need to build and maintain your website in a manner that is optimized for search engines. This is commonly referred to as Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Now keep in mind that the website you are building is for real people and that’s the most important thing. What SEO does is it takes your content and fine tunes it so that more people can discover it through search engines.

There is a world of difference between a website that is SEO optimized and one that is not. By getting optimized for search engines, you tune into what your potential clients or patients are looking for online through keywords or phrases that are located in the content of your website or blog. Doing this helps you fine-tune your content in a manner that is easily discoverable by search engines and is placed higher on search result pages when people look for relevant information about your physical therapy clinic or physical therapy business.

SEO has several aspects to it and all of them contribute to people finding your website on search engines easily. An example would be you are writing a blog post or creating a website page on a type of outpatient therapy (i.e Vestibular Rehab) and include some diagrams or pictures in the page or blog post. If you were to optimize your page for search engines you will add keyword phrases like Atlanta physical therapy vestibular rehab or Atlanta vestibular therapy, etc. You can also optimize your images by adding “alt text” to your images. This is nothing but a description to your images which will make it easier for search engines to understand what they are and further help your website in getting ranked higher in the search engine results for vestibular rehab.

This is just one of several ways in which your website can be optimized for search engines. Physical therapists that have their websites or blogs optimized will have a definite edge over those who don’t because their content will be easily discoverable in search engines and will get more targeted visitors. I can’t emphasize enough how important SEO is to your physical therapy business. People don’t go to the Yellow Pages to search for services any more. They look to Google to search for services they need now. There is a whole new wave of business waiting for you and if you don’t capitalize on it now you will miss a golden opportunity.

SEO allows people to discover your physical therapy website or blog through search. So writing great content is only good if people can find it. If you don’t have an optimized physical therapy website, you will make it difficult for people seeking your services to find you through search. Assess your physical therapy website and take action now to make sure potential referrals and client customers can find your website online through the search engines.

Human Consciousness can be measured with an Electro-Encephalograph (EEG) machine. What we do not see is the non-physical aspects in the Aura of the person – the electromagnetic field of energy that surrounds the Human Body.

The Human Aura is multi-dimensional; it is not just a shell-like field of energy which is like an egg around the body. It has different layers, which correspond to the different layers of the physical body: the Whole Body, Organs, Cells, Molecules, Atoms, Finer Particles, Light Body and Core Being or Vacuum.

As well as these layers we have the Energy Centres – Chakras – coming out like cones. As the colours of these cones merge with each other we see different colours of light being formed to give us a point in the Aura of each shade and hue.

You can watch the Aura having different shades of points of light, acting like radio tuners receiving similar frequencies from our environment; the Human Body can tune into all frequencies at the same time and we can interpret these with our emotions and feelings.

When we smile we can feel the energy in our cheeks extending out from our body like angel’s wings or like a magnetic field; this is created within the body, as would happen in a bar magnet. The field of energy which our physical body creates extends out into the non-physical Aura and beyond, like the force field surrounding a magnet.

Our body is sensing the astrological influences from the planets, as we exist in the Earth’s Magnetic Field. All these different electromagnetic levels of energy and force have an influence on our consciousness and our thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

We notice how we feel happier on a bright, sunny day than we do when dark storm clouds are over us.

We live in an invisible field of Electromagnetic Energy which covers the full spectrum: Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultraviolet, Visible Light, Infra-red, Radio Frequencies, etc. We are connected as One with this field of Energy and it is part of our Conscious Awareness.

As well as this natural electromagnetic field from our solar system, we are also influenced by the electromagnetic smog of mobile phones, TV and radio and all the other methods of man-made communication using this underlying field of energy in which we live.

Human consciousness can use the underlying electromagnetic field to send messages telepathically, and to get premonitions and déjà-vu insights.

The Universe uses this field of Power and Force in an effortless way, to bring about synchronicities in our life; our vibration draws to us the things which are patterned in our being; something magical seeks us out and happens in our life.

As more humans become aware of this non-physical electromagnetic field of energy, it grows stronger and the synchronicities happen more often. The accident rate is declining as everything acts as part of the whole and moves in a frictionless flow of life in Conscious Awareness.

So you need to take a driver’s physical exam? Each and every day individuals are administered Department of Transportation physical exams in order to secure themselves the special license they need to lawfully drive certain types of vehicles. If you are one of these individuals, you may have some questions regarding the entire process. You may also like some tips on how to pass the test. This article will attempt to answer many of these questions and put you in a much better place to receive your coveted license.

First thing you should know is that taking a driver’s physical exam is much like taking any other physical exam. We’ve all had them over the years. Whether for admittance to a special school or camp, or if we’ve been in the military or just as a yearly review of our health status-taking this driver’s physical is much the same. The exam will test your baseline health in a very general way. It is painless and quick and always worth the time and money.

Giving tips to pass a exam, even a driver’s physical exam, seems a tad silly at first glance. The fact is there are no questions being asked, and no studying to do. The way to pass a physical exam is to eat right, get some exercise, and keep your drinking and smoking to a minimum. This is not rocket science-it is basic common sense that we human beings sometimes find hard to practice.

A good tip is to know that there will be a vision portion of the driver’s physical exam. So if you wear glasses, do not forget to bring them with you to the doctor’s office. This is very important. Obviously there’s no way on Earth to pass a driver’s physical without scoring adequately on the sight portion of the exam.

Other things that will be reviewed by the doctor administering the driver’s physical exam will be an overview of what are called your vital signs. These are your respiratory system, your pulse, your blood pressure and your temperature. For those old enough to remember the very invasive temperature-taking experience fear not! As you must already know, a patient’s temperature has not been taken this old fashioned way for many, many years. These days you’re more likely to have your ear canal penetrated than your… well, you remember…

Another thing to remember that may help you pass this driver’s physical is to remember that the exam will include a urine test. It is administered to test for diabetes, but no matter what they are testing for it is important to remember to have some urine to pass when the time comes! If you need to use the bathroom before entering the doctor’s office, you may think again and save it, for going will only prolong the procedure. You’re not leaving the office without giving some up!

Perhaps you are unsure if you really need to take this driver’s physical exam in the first place. The following list clearly indicates the types of vehicles whose drivers will need to undergo the exam.

The following vehicle operator’s need to take the driver’s physical exam:

• Any vehicle used for commercial reasons that has a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight or a combination weight rating of over 10,000 lbs
• Any vehicle used to transport any hazardous materials
• Any vehicle built to carry 16 or more passengers, such as a bus or large van

Network security covers a multitude of issues. The last article referred to the security policy. This article discusses the threats posed by people – both from outside and inside – trying to steal your equipment and data and suggests some strategies to counter them.

Physical security

1. The first issue to address is physical access to your network.

If you’ve a wired network, don’t imagine that it’s necessarily proof against being broken/tapped into:

• Do you have a live network port in a publicly-accessible room or an unsecured garden shed?
• Do your childrens’ friends bring their laptops to visit?
• Do you have a network cable tacked to the outside of your building or passing through an unsecured lobby?

If so, or if you can think of any other way for unauthorised people to connect equipment to your network, you need to address these issues immediately. At the very least, someone may be using your resources without paying you. At worst, they could download all your confidential data or even erase it from your system…

• Secure the room/shed or, better, unplug the cable from the router when you’re not using it (a pain, but better than having your private data stolen or corrupted).
• Keep all cabling inside your secure perimeter.
• Lay down the law about connecting other people’s computers to your network (see a later article about wi-fi security).
• Make sure that your personal, private data is secured against being accessed from unauthorised computers connected to your network – most operating systems allow you to set usernames and passwords to control access to individual PCs and this should prevent illicitly connected computers reading your network shares.
• Ensure that really sensitive data (such as bank or password data) is NEVER kept on a network share: It is best stored on a removable disk/pen drive that’s kept locked away.
• If you’re really paranoid, set all your software to not remember your passwords to web sites etc. Of course, that means that you’ll have to…
2. Consider how to stop people walking off with your computers and peripherals

People worry about having TVs, DVD players and other domestic equipment stolen by burglars, but loss of your PC and all its stored data is much more serious, especially if you’ve got your bank or credit card details in a plain-text file on the hard disk! Most portable and desktop computers and many peripherals (such as routers and printers) come with a ‘Kensington lock’ slot: a small slot in the case that allows you to fit a security cable. Use it to attach your equipment to a solid fixing point:

• Make sure that the cable lock goes through a HOLE – not just round a leg.
• Make sure that the attached furniture item is HEAVY and LARGE. You can hide a laptop under your coat, but a desk is more obvious…
• Best of all, provide proper anchors set into the wall or floor.
• Since cables can be cut, consider using cable locks with alarms incorporated
• IMPORTANT: Number your locks and keep spare, numbered keys in a secure location, so when the PC user loses the key or quits, you can get your computer back…

Servers should be properly secured in a locked cabinet or cupboard. They can also be attached with cable locks or proprietary security devices, and the room/cupboard should be fitted with an alarm.

As a matter of interest, more and more domestic entertainment devices (such as games consoles and TVs) are also being fitted with security slots. A job lot of cable locks will make loss to burglars less likely (although they may trash them out of pique!).

3. Stopping visitors and employees stealing your data

Businesses should remember that the greatest threat to your data is from your own employees. Carelessness and accident will be dealt with in a separate article, but employee or visitor theft or deliberate damage falls under the same heading as other break-ins. To reduce the risk of theft by staff or intruders:

• Keep your data servers locked away in a secure room or cabinet – an alarm is a useful addition
• Use security cables to secure devices, especially in areas accessible to the public
• Keep to a minimum the number of staff that have access to the servers
• Protect your data by using proxies (such as web services) between the front-end the users see and the data. Don’t allow ordinary users to log in to the servers that store your data and files. This helps to prevent wholesale downloads of valuable files and data.

Remember: Enforce your security policy…

Physical fitness can simply be defined as a general state of good physical health. In spite of an age, it can be described as a condition that majorly helps an individual look or feel mentally as well as physically better. In fact, in its simplest meaning, it is very similar to that of the fine tuning or of an engine. Like fine tuning helps in the proper functioning of an engine, a good physical fitness helps in the good functioning of a human body. As a result, it is very essential for a human body to stay physically fit.

A healthy and physically fit body runs the way it is supposed to. It helps in maintaining the muscle strength, body structure and overall functioning of various body parts. It also helps in controlling weight and even contributes to healthy joints and bones. A body without physical fitness can simply be compared to a machine that is kept inactive. Just as immobility results in the rusting of machine, same rule applies to the human body. Today if we look at the current scenario, the Japanese are considered to be the most physically fit people in the world. From a very young age the children of Japan are trained in physical fitness and so its result is absolutely fabulous. So by now if getting up off the couch seems like a major feat then this might be major signal for you to consider the importance of physical fitness and look for different ways to improve it.

For many, physical fitness majorly revolves around doing exercise on a regular basis, but there are many other physical fitness components that need to be taken proper care. While exercise is an extremely important component of fitness, diet and environment are other few elements that too play considerable roles. Apart from all these, there are few most important physical fitness components that are mainly used in health clubs these days to measure the fitness of a body, such as:

• Cardiovascular Endurance – It is the ability of the heart and lungs to work simultaneously and provide the much required oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads.
• Muscular Strength – It is the amount of force that a muscle can produce. The push up test is one of the most common tests used to examine the muscular strength.
• Muscular Endurance – It is generally defined as the capacity of the muscles to perform a task uninterrupted without fatiguing. Cycling and elliptical machines are few exercises that can be very effective for measuring the muscular endurance.
• Flexibility – It is an ability to move the joints or any group of joints through normal range of motion. The fact is the more flexible body one have the more physical fitness he or she can enjoy. The sit and reach test is most often used to test flexibility.
• Body composition – It can be defined as the percentage of body fat an individual has in contrast to his or her total body mass. This can be easily calculated by using underwater weighing or by bioelectrical impedance.

These five major physical fitness components actually represents how healthy and fit the body is as a whole. And, so when a person undergoes through different battery of tests, he or she receive information on the specific areas that he/she may require to work in. Therefore, it always advisable to take care of each of the above mentioned components of fitness as it can have a positive impact on body composition and may result in extra body fat loss and a great physically fit body.

Designing your physical therapy flooring can be a fun project when you are starting out or remodeling your place.

Most gyms have hardwood floors or concrete floors that are unsafe and uncomfortable for those who have physical limitations.

Here are a few tips to help design the best flooring for comfort when performing physical therapy for yourself or rehabilitation clients.

Tip #1

Physical therapy flooring should be thick to absorb impact from falls. Patients who are recovering may occasionally fall and need a cushioned surface that will prevent further injuries.

One option is rubber floor tiles that come in thicknesses of 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inches. Choosing a thicker density to lay under your work benches and around other equipment can prevent serious injuries from falls.

In bathrooms and areas where clients may have to change clothing, rubber flooring tiles will provide cushioning if a client accidentally falls.

Tip #2

Use rubber flooring mats. Commercial therapy gym flooring rubber mats have anti-slip properties. This helps keep sweat and spills from creating a slick spot which can very easily lead to a fall.

These mats are interlocking tiles that not only look great but provide safety as well. Extremely easy to install, the rubber mats are designed to be installed without adhesive and come in 5 standard colors: Solid Black, Grey, Blue, Tan or Red Speck.

You can even make your own design since the tiles are available in border tiles, center tiles can corner tiles.

Tip #3

Design your flooring so that it flows well. Place rubber floor mats underneath and around all equipment while leaving the walking area covered in smooth surfaces such as wood or laminate flooring.

Have rubber floor tiles in areas where floor therapy will be done. This provides a soft surface for clients to work out on. Create a smooth transition from the wood floor to the rubber flooring with tiles that gradually slope up.

Tip #4

Therapy often involves working with clients who are unstable or may have vision problems. Design your flooring with a unique color design to help them distinguish between areas.

Create a border around the workout stations by using a different color. You can even have custom logos printed into the rubber tiles. You can them have these tiles placed in prominent areas.

Designing your physical therapy rubber flooring should take in the needs and comfort of those who will be using the area. Safety and comfort will provide your clients a better sense of security during a time of recovery.

Believe it or not you can have a happy marriage after cheating. It might take a little time to get things on solid ground again for you and your spouse but there are things you can do to help the process along if you really want to save your marriage.

Whether you are the person who cheated or the one who was cheated on, the event can have a major impact on you and how you feel about yourself, your marriage, and all things physical between you and your spouse.

For some people, being cheated on, is the most devastating thing that can happen within their marriages. For others, it isn’t quite as devastating as other issues in a marriage have the potential to be. But the loss of physical touch and casual affection on top of the marriage can take an even heavier toll on a particular group of people than may be expected.

Dr. Gary Chapman has 30 years of experience as a marriage counselor under his belt. During that time he has discovered that different people speak different “love languages.” There are five basic love languages that are commonly spoken. Physical touch is one of those languages and no, it’s not all about sex.

Some people express and experience love in a very physical manner. This is most commonly associated with men but it isn’t always about bedroom touching. Holding hands, back rubs, etc. make for casual intimacy that is vital for people like this to FEEL loved and confident that their marriages are sound.

Chances are you know people like this. You may be one yourself or you may very well be married to one. These are the touchy feely type of people who like to hug, cuddle, snuggle, and just touch the people they come in contact with. If your spouse is one who expresses and/or experiences love through physical touch then you are going to have to double your efforts to get back in the game when it comes to physical contact in your relationship.

That may be the last thing on your mind at the moment but for the sake of saving your marriage you need to start small and make sure you’re always pushing yourself to make a move towards increased physical touch rather than pulling away and withholding that important contact. You don’t want to rush or push but you need to make sure that you are both getting the proper reassurance of love and safety from the other partner.

Physical therapy as a profession is lucrative. With licensed practitioners earning a median base salary of $65,000 to $75,000, many people are dreaming of become physical therapists. However, many of these people do not have the time to focus on schooling and attaining this degree since they are working or are probably tasked to do other equally important assignments. The experts in the field very well understand this predicament and therefore better options have been created. There are now some quick ways to become a physical therapist.

One of the most popular methods available that can save you time is pursuing an online degree. There are a bunch of these degrees offered through the internet. Advantages of choosing this option include not being required to be physically present in classes and it allows one to work on school requirements at his own time.

However, here are a few tips to remember in order to become a Physical Therapist very quickly and surely.

1. Get an undergraduate degree and make sure that this particular degree is rich in science courses such as physics, biology, and chemistry. It is not really necessary to take up an undergraduate course in physical therapy; however, doing so will ensure a shorter time to fulfill the required coursework.

2. Right after graduating, it would be best to immediately pursue a master’s degree preferably in physical therapy since this is needed to get a license. One also has to make sure that the American Physical Therapy Association accredits the school chosen by them.

3. After finishing the online degree, waste no time. Complete residency immediately. This can be completed under doctors of various fields including physical therapy.

4. After this, get a license by completing the licensure or the certification requirements of the state. It has to be made sure that the right certification or licensure is taken so that practice of the profession will not be delayed.

5. Finally, one can choose an area of specialization. There are some who like to work with children and childhood-related injuries while others prefer working in the sports scene.

The ways mentioned are not only the quickest but are also the best ways. This is because being sure and careful ensures faster results. You need to ensure all the steps in the process are undertaken with respected and certified schools. But once in these programs you can increase your course load and power through the program. If you do not research your chosen school properly before you enroll, you will be increasing the risk of mistakes and so may end up repeating the whole process.

We must be careful not to follow the Jesus of our dreams, but follow and serve and obey the Jesus of the Bible. We have to see Jesus as He really is, and love the real Jesus, and not some dreamt up idol.

So many have illusions and false pictures and ideas of what Jesus Christ was like, but when we stay in the Word, we will not stray very far. Jesus goes up to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover and in the Temple he finds everything a bit of a sinful shambles.

The whole thing was a racket. There were corrupt and immoral practices going on. Many were on the make.

As Jesus cleanses the Temple, his use of physical force here is quite revealing.

When Jesus sees the situation in the Temple, he takes time to make a whip of small cords.

Jesus deliberately makes this, and uses this on all that was going on in the Temple, on animals and men.

When Jesus Christ is confronted with sin in His Father’s House, He deals with it.

Jesus is showing and demonstrating how angry He is. His Father had sent Him to deal with sin, and not just some sin, but with all sin.

With some things Jesus is intolerant.

People say at times, “We must be tolerant. Live and let live.” Tolerance is not a Christian virtue.

There are certain things Jesus Christ will not tolerate or permit, especially when they are disguised and paraded under a cloak of religion.

“Get these out of here” are the recorded words of Jesus in John Chapter 2 at verse 16.

Jesus saw the place of worship in this mess.

The church of the day had become like a market.

The disciples remembered what was written in the Psalms. “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

We too need something of that zeal and fire, because Jesus spews out lukewarm people.

Almighty God is very concerned about whatever might be going on the place of Worship and Prayer.

There is a very negative reaction from those whose interests Jesus had moved against.

By what authority do you do this? Who do you think you are? Why are you interfering?

When Jesus Christ acted in this bold and courageous manner there were those who did not like nor appreciate what the Son of God was doing.

These religious leaders had vested interests in the Temple and when you touch financial vested interests be prepared for strong negative reaction.
