BRIGHTON, Mich - Battery-operated vehicles...where else can we go from there? Well, Ford Motor Company has an idea. It should come as no surprise when we tell you that Ford is onto the next "big thing" in technology that will make driving more efficient, intelligent and safer for customers. Currently in the works is Ford's Green Zone; an underlying mapping system that promises to improve energy efficiency of battery-based vehicles.
Now, you're probably wondering how can the "Green Zone" make Ford electric cars more efficient? Well this system, which happens to be a subsidiary of Nokia technology, will give drivers the ability to use their navigation screen, or a website, to set up "green zones" where their vehicle will automatically run on battery power. This will reduce the need for a manual transition from gas to battery as well as determine the most efficient time to use battery or gas power depending on traffic and road conditions.
Electric car drivers use their vehicles differently. Some find the battery is most efficient when operated at slower speeds as opposed to highway speeds. Others may choose to wait to use their battery power for specific roadways towards the end of a commute rather than from the moment they pull out of the driveway. With all of these factors in mind, Ford was in search of a more efficient solution. This is where Ford's Green Zone comes in, providing technology that is so precise, it will help motorists utilize their vehicle's battery-life to the best of its abilities.
Although the "Green Zone" for Ford electric cars is still a few years away from production, Ford is determined to have several of its products feature the up and coming technology.
If you are in the market for a "green" vehicle, check out the 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid today at Brighton Ford! We are located at 8240 Grand River Ave. just north of I-96 in Brighton. We are a family owned and operated business that strives for customer satisfaction. For more information on Brighton Ford visit BrightonFord.com or give us a call at (800) 836-7417.

I have recently purchased a Primare SC15 pre/network player/Dac, but I have a problem with it concerning gapless playback!
The problem occurs when I play files from my Synology NAS over wired ethernet connection. At the end of each track there is a noticeable pause and an audible click before the next track plays. I can live with this to certain extent, but not when I am listening to a classical piece with a continuous flow through the movements.
Previously I have used a Cyrus stream x2 (which incidentally, I still possess) with no problems. I have since read customer reviews on other network players/streamers where this has been a concern, most notably the Arcam rPlay. Researching reviews of various players, via web and HiFi publications, I have found no mention by the professional reviewer as to whether NAS playback is gapless or otherwise. My experience has me concerned. Am I missing something? My Cyrus (wired back into use today) still plays gapless.
I am interested in the Pro-ject Stream Box S2 Ultra for a second NAS based system. How should I know that it will play gapless or not?
What a very good question, I take it the Cyrus is accessing the same NAS ? How do you control the playback from an app ? If so the Primare and the Cyrus app may/must be playing a part in the gapless playback.
Is there an option for increasing the buffer time?
Gapless involves the player asking for some data from the next track ahead of time, if the player doesn't do that then it won't play gapless.
Yep, both were connected to my Synology Nas on the same wired network. The Cyrus sang successfully for a number of years until the recent purchase of the Primare SC15, which I believed to be a cost effective upgrade (higher spec playback) and also reducing my box count. The Cyrus acted the same, whether used via the Cadence app, the N remote, or via the manual controls on the unit. In fact, the Cyrus is an easy to use, faultlessly smooth operator, it"s only down fall being it's capabilities (24/192 res).
I did wonder whether or not it was an app issue (Prisma) or even a media server (compatibility) issue on the NAS. I tried other media server apps on the NAS, but other than prolonged reindexing, didn't achieve much. I use Jriver MC21 on my mac and that plays, as one would expect, faultlessly (gapless) via USB on both players.
Nope, the Primare app is pants as far as settings go!
You have confirmed my suspicions.
...and therefore I ask, how do we (users) know which players are capable of gapless playback? Surely professional reviewers should make a point of informing their readers, instead of just crowing about how good or bad it sounds or bleating on about it"s hi spec at a bargain several hundred squid or more?!!
looks like you have to use their app, although I don't know if the gapless has been implemented yet.
Thanx for that Bigfool1956, I missed that one! Is your handle a typo?
But surely you wouldn't release a product until it"s fully operational, unless you're Musical Fidelity?
It’s very disappointing, but I believe KEF did the same with the LS50 wireless. It’s such a fundamental flaw, I agree no product should be released in that state. I hope otherwise it’s a good product as I’m a user and admirer of Primare.
...and frustrating! But, with thanx to bigfool for the headsup, I have been in touch with Primare via email to enquire about future updates.
The reason I opted for Primare was on the back of recommendations and hearing a friends system a while back. Other than this glitch (I hope it's just a glitch), build quality is excellent and I am loving how it sounds, although I'm still 'burning' it in.
... I agree no product should be released in that state.
In fairness to Primare, I feel I must post this quick response I received from them early on Monday.
"Keith, gapless is on the list for the next update, but I cannot say exactly when that will be released, as there are a number of other items to be included, and then submitted for approval by the various license holders (Apple, Google, Spotify, etc.), which adds another variable outside of our control. We will do our best to get it out as soon as we possibly can, Terry"
...But, I still cannot get my head round the fact that a company can release for sale a product that they say, "...continues to deliver astonishing performance..." , but clearly does not? I await the "next update".
Yes, all the manufacturers with any digital or cinema functionality seem to need all this guff certified first. Makes me hanker for proper analogue amplifiers after all!

Colorado Oral Health: Are You Smiling?
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment tells us that in our state, kids miss nearly eight million hours of school each year because of oral pain.
It’s not surprising when you consider the most prevalent childhood disease in America is dental caries, or tooth decay.
Only ten percent of Americans have never had a cavity.
One out of three Americans didn’t visit the dentist last year.
Gum disease can lead to many overall health problems, including but not limited to: Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, stroke, heart attack, respiratory problems, osteoporosis, low-weight births, diabetes complications.
Oral cancer claims nearly eight thousand American lives annually, and most patients don’t live past five years. Early detection and treatment shows an 80% better survival rate. More men than women have oral cancer.
Fifty million Americans have no teeth.
Seventy percent of tooth loss is caused by gum disease.
When a missing tooth isn’t replaced, up to 20% of surrounding teeth will be lost within eight years.
Twenty-five million Americans avoid the dentist because of phobia, stress, or anxiety.
Oral diseases are completely preventable.
Twice-a-year checkups and cleanings allow Dr. Radz to find and treat oral problems early, before they spread or cause significant health problems.
Daily brushing and flossing will work wonders for your oral health.
Call Dr. Radz’s downtown Denver dental office today to reserve your checkup, consultation, or second-opinion visit.

Westchester County Legislator Judy Myers announced last week that a flood mitigation project at Gardens Lake in Mamaroneck is among the first projects to receive funding as part of Westchester’s Flood Action Plan. In a September 8 meeting, the County Board of Legislators approved the allocation of $4.5 million for four projects, including $1 million for Gardens Lake, known locally as the Duck Pond.
The project will both improve water quality and increase the ability of Gardens Lake to retain flood water. Approximately 11,000 cubic yards of sediment will be dredged from the pond and valves will be installed to allow the water level to be lowered in anticipation of a storm.
The total budget for the Gardens Lake project is estimated at $1.6 million, with an additional sum for disposal of some dredged materials and for restoration of the site after the main project is complete, said Town Administrator Steve Altieri. The Town of Mamaroneck’s total cash contribution will be $750,000. There are also some funds from a New York State grant obtained in 2005.
Ms. O’Keeffe also praised the Town administration for its timely efforts in gathering the necessary data and filling in all the paper work required to be considered in the first round of grant allocations.
For her part, Ms. Myers gave credit to her colleagues.
Westchester County plans to allocate $10 million a year for the next five years to reduce flooding. The Flood Action Task Force, formed after the Nor’easter of April 2007, studies and recommends steps to reduce flooding in Westchester.
Mamaroneck Town’s original application for funds under the current plan was submitted over a year ago. However, a collaboration between Mamaroneck Town and Westchester County to restore the Duck Pond was first proposed in 2003. (See: Town Considers: Time to Dredge the Duck Pond?) At that time, Ms. Myers was a member of the Mamaroneck Town Board.
This is such wonderful news!! Having grown up near the Duck Pond and spent many memorable days fishing for carp and ice skating on the frozen pond in years past – I cannot think of a better use of these funds. It has always been such a wonderful enclave that few really took advantage of unless you were lucky enough to live in the area. The weeping willow tree on the East side of the pond enveloped the lake in such a picturesque view that I often photographed it and used it as a model for my (amateurish) paintings.
I wish all the neighbors I knew living there growing up were around to see the beauty of the pond today and the upcoming capital improvement project – sometimes when I ride by their homes I can envision them still living there. They would be so proud to know that Larchmont and the Town of Mam’k have not forgotten about our beloved Duck Pond and is committed to retaining its natural beauty.

Netherlands shipyard DAMEN has sold its fourth support vessel, the 70-metre Game Changer.
It is not being shipped straight to its owner, however. It is heading back to DAMEN’s shipyard in Gorinchem, Holland, for unspecified modifications.
DAMEN’s subsidiary AMELS handled the sales and marketing of the vessel.
The yacht was designed in-house to free up space on a pleasure vessel, featuring a large amount of tender space, an LY3 certified Helipad and hanger storage (for up to 14 metre/five tonne helicopters), and a Helia 140-5S crane to lift equipment, toys and tenders on deck.
Game Changer has four main decks, housing some unique support vessel features such as a crew gym, workshop, cold storage and hospital. It is registered under the Marshall Islands flag and has accommodation for 18 crew members and five staff.
DAMEN has 12 support vessels either delivered or in build. The next vessel on the horizon is the the 55-metre Adventure, which is set for delivery to its owner in the summer.
This is the fourth support vessel DAMEN has built off of the SeaXplorer hull platform. It is one of the main shipbuilders throwing itself into the niche yacht support vessel market.

In the top right corner of Co. Louth, in Ireland’s Ancient East, lies the Cooley Peninsula. It’s relatively small area, but perfect for trail runners as it’s criss-crossed with trails and not crossed by any more roads than a runner needs to give them a good selection of routes and starting points.
On a sunny spring Saturday in April, we took on the Cooley Legends Half Marathon, a (mostly) trail race taking a great diagonal across the peninsula from Lumper’s Pub near Ravensdale, to Carlingford via The Long Woman’s Grave and Slieve Foy.
The race was superbly organised by local endurance racing legend Johnny McCabe and a great team, with slick transport to the start, well run aid stations, very good route marking and good marshalling. It’s also run in the right direction to make your last 5k the best of the views and a nice finish in the centre of town under some historic buildings. The race has a 10k edition too which shares the finish.
Besides being a great race, the trails it uses link together so that you could almost entirely eliminate the road, get on the open mountain, make it steeper, or make up whatever kind of route you fancy. You can link it with parts of the Tàin Way too, a waymarked trail that takes you around the peninsula and offers you a number of running options, great views and facilities at places like Lumper’s and the town of Carlingford.
Abouth the Authors: Kevin Duffy and Edel Kieran are runners and mountaineers based in the northeast of Ireland. They are currently undertaking a year of running and climbing challenges to raise funds and awareness for Pieta House, a charity combatting suicide and self-harm. The Cooley Legends was Challenge 6.

To maintain high standards of safety and professionalism, commercial drivers are subject to federal regulations outlined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which is a part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
One component of maintaining your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), is complying with the FMCSA’s drug testing regulations via your carrier or employer. Below is an overview of how and why carriers in the trucking industry may use drug and alcohol screening to ensure safety.
The federal government requires a driver test negative for drugs prior to employment. If a driver is involved in a certain type of accident, the carrier must screen the driver for drugs and alcohol. FMCSA requires random testing throughout the year and when a carrier has a reasonable suspicion that driver is using drugs or alcohol. If a driver tests positive or refuses testing, there are federal requirements for follow-up or return-to-duty tests.
What Substances Are Carriers Testing For?
In addition to alcohol, carriers are testing for the following controlled substances: marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and methamphetamines, and Phencyclidine.
DOT offers this handbook to explain drug screening in more detail. Basically, when a driver is notified of testing, he or she must report immediately to the designated testing or collection site. The collector will perform a test or take a sample from the driver. Urine testing is used for detecting controlled substances, and breath and saliva swab tests are used to detect alcohol.
The test or sample will be analyzed in a lab and reviewed by a Medical Review Officer to ensure the results are accurate and the sample is not adulterated. The employee will receive their confidential results and have a 72-hour time frame to request that a sample be retested if necessary.
To learn more about the requirements for becoming a commercial truck driver, contact HDS Truck Driving Institute. We help drivers obtain their CDLs and prepare for a career in trucking. Contact our Phoenix location by calling (602) 484-7901 or our Tucson location at (520) 622-0419.

When something’s not right and you want it to change, there are several ways to go about it. No doubt you want to tailor your actions, so they reflect the best way to effect change. While taking the initiative and acting may be the quickest and most efficient approach, there are some caveats to consider. You might not have all the facts, for example, or what you do know may be distorted by perception or long-held belief. It is also quite possible that your viewpoint is skewed, thus leading to erroneous conclusions and poor judgment.
Considering that there are always going to be situations and instances where change is desirable, as well as times when only you can do something about what needs changing, perhaps the best way to effect personal and situational change is by changing the way you look at things.
Granted, this isn’t easy to do, especially if you grew up in an atmosphere of rigid compliance where any testing of authority was not tolerated, and you were constrained to act within certain boundaries. Questioning the status quo may feel like anathema now that you’re an adult may feel like an impossible task, one that you’re loathe to entertain. A little-known yet very powerful way to begin to assert your independence is by thinking outside the box you were put in when growing up.
Suppose you were always called stupid and told you’d never amount to anything. Many well-meaning parents fall into the trap of being overly critical of their children, perhaps projecting their own insecurities while wanting in good faith to ensure their offspring have a better life. That their thoughtless remarks and labels have the opposite effect may never occur to them, at least without parenting counseling. That kind of cruelty on the part of parents, siblings or others is enough to stunt anyone’s growth. Finding your own path under such circumstances was likely difficult because you believed the criticism was right. Difficult, but not impossible.
Maybe you’ve attempted to change things in your life and failed repeatedly. This also tends to put a damper on any motivation to seek further change. Again, the prospects for self-change are difficult, yet not impossible.
It is important to note that there is no directive of human behavior that requires any individual to steadfastly accept their circumstance. You have the power to effect change for yourself above all else. It doesn’t matter if you grew up impoverished, in a dysfunctional family, with no support system, suffering childhood illness, mental health disorder or some other condition. Nor does an upbringing in an affluent household guarantee the ability to enact change, even if such changed is steadfastly desired. What is necessary, however, no matter the circumstances or conditions under which you grew up, is the willingness to put aside old beliefs and negativity and look at the world around you with open eyes and an unbiased heart.
Is there a wrong you seek to make amends for? What about an injustice you believe came about as the result of your actions? What avenues can you take to create a better life for yourself than that which you came into the world to? Can you find the path to follow to achieve greater success? Is it possible to mend your ways, repair your reputation, begin to love again, heal damaged relationships, find a way to balance work and home, explore your true potential and achieve almost any goal?
If you are willing to cast aside the barriers and suspend judgment so that you can take in the reality that is now, you may be surprised that what you thought was so, what seemed impossible to change, is false. What is available to you, what you can change, will not only astound but also invigorate you.
How to get started with a plan.
Expect the unexpected when proceeding to effect change. To the extent that you can bounce back from setbacks, learn from your mistakes and missteps and find the lesson that’s often hidden within seeming failure, you’ll be developing and enhancing resilience, a crucial self-strength that allows you to overcome life-changing situations and stressful circumstances.

It’s practically a universal fact that almost everyone wants to get ahead. If I’m being honest, I must confess that I do. Even though I’m no longer striving to achieve a lofty career goal at a large corporation, I still have goals and want to succeed at them. It’s just that striving for recognition, money and advancement is no longer at the top of my wish list. I used to want that more than anything. Now I prefer to live a life of abundance: of spirit, joy, surrounded by loving family and friends, healthy, content and curious, willing to go out of my way to help others, to rejoice in the goodness of others.
I also know that I’m not perfect. The fact that I can readily admit that alleviates a certain amount of tension.
Trying too hard to be perfect never gets you anywhere. I learned that a long time ago. Granted, you make mistakes. Everyone does. Some of mine have been colossal blunders, while others were the result of being too hasty or careless or skipping some steps in pursuit of a goal. After beating myself up about it, I finally figured out that such hyper self-criticism was a waste of time. It made more sense to determine the lesson from the failure, if for no other reason than to not repeat it again. But perfectionism, trying to be perfect? According to experts, that’s an impossibility and a losing strategy.
On the other hand, striving to do better is an effective approach. With a worthwhile goal providing motivation, healthy striving can lead to a richer and more fulfilling life. I’ve found that to be true with goals large and small, some more immediate and others requiring considerable time and effort to achieve.
Suppose you’re not very good at math and want to become more proficient. Or you want to train yourself to be better at differentiating differences and spotting changes, as in identifying what’s different in a field of changing icons and images in a brain teaser game online. With diligent practice and the belief that you can improve your skill, you do indeed get better. That’s not trying to be perfect but striving to improve. The former is a hopeless pursuit, the latter laudable and likely to succeed.
In an average day, most of us experience a few disappointments, make the wrong turn, put the wrong ingredient in a recipe, rush through a quiz and make a few mistakes, forget what we were going to say, say the right thing at the wrong time or the wrong thing at the right time. These are examples of what we’d consider a failure, blunder, mistake or stupid move. With the mindset that always demands perfectionism, we’re likely to continue to spiral down, never quite making the mark and sinking deeper into a less hopeful and more negative state of mind.
In contrast, by taking mistakes, disappointments and failures in stride and striving to do better, we’re bolstering our resilience, maintaining good balance and promoting a healthy way of living. Sure, it may take practice to overcome a tendency to get things right every time, as well as learning to ignore the comments from others about “Better luck next time.” This is especially true if perfectionism has become ingrained and those who know you expect you to be perfect all the time.
Having witnessed a few friends and acquaintances who’ve succumbed to the tantalizing and wrong siren song of perfectionism – and coming close myself on one or two occasions – I know that the preferred and much more effective and satisfying way to live is to engage in healthy pursuit of achievable goals.
If you tend to believe the same way I do, you’re not perfect – hooray! Neither am I, thankfully. Life is so much more enjoyable this way and that’s why it’s good that you’re not perfect. Keep in mind, though, that just because you’ve let go of pursuit of perfectionism does not mean you relinquish your goals. Adding incrementally to your strengths, skills and accomplishments boosts your self-confidence and self-esteem and intensifies your sense of purpose in life.

Everyone has a favorite theory about what constitutes a happy life. Likely you know a few people who’ll readily tell you theirs. Allow me to share my five secrets to a happy and more productive life.
On any given day, we’re assailed with nonstop demands on our time, from the insatiable fount of hard-to-discern-what’s-valuable information on the Internet, to work, home, entertainment, invitations from friends and colleagues, junk mail, spoof robocalls and more. No wonder it’s become paralyzingly difficult to carve out chunks of time to devote to yourself. By prioritizing everything you must do, however, and giving weight only to what matters most to you, what you deem essential to accomplish today, you’ll find that you’re less distracted, cut down on daily stress, and find pleasure in completing task, projects and pursuits that are paramount.
Instead of letting others dictate what should matter to you, make sure you are the sole arbiter of this distinction. When you control what you feel is important, you’re taking the first proactive step to not only simplifying your life, you’re also enriching the precious 24 hours you have to live today.
No doubt many have found themselves in dead-end jobs, forced by economic circumstance to take and keep whatever gainful employment was available. By resigning yourself to forever being less-than-satisfied with your means of bringing income into the home, however, you’re likely to lose out on a priceless and crucial ingredient in living a happy and more productive life. When you love what you do, every day is filled with opportunity, hope, discovery and purpose. Even challenges, major or minor, will not dissuade you from your enthusiasm, diligence, willingness to take risks, or forego immediate gains for long-term progress.
Here’s what happened to me. When I was raising two small children myself, I took an entry-level job in the purchasing department of a major automaker. I did very well there, all the while earning two college degrees at night. My supervisors wanted to promote me to the position of buyer, but I declined. I heard about a job in the public relations department, interviewed for it and got the position. At last, I was able to make use of what I had learned in school and every day flew by. I received incremental promotions and eventually rose to the executive level, even though there were some disappointments along the way (losing a plum reporter’s job during a major financial downturn and being reassigned to financial analyst position, for example).
Granted, it takes some imagination and a well-thought-out plan to see past the pigeonhole job you may be in right now (like my stint doing budgets, paying bills, analyzing and forecasting how the department could afford a mid-year new-car press preview). You can get beyond this unsatisfying stint and leave depression behind, starting with an adjustment to your mindset. Do the best you can with everything you do, no matter how menial, whether it’s considered drudge work no one else wants, or beneath your talents. How you meet challenges is a testament to your creativity and problem-solving, two traits that will serve you well wherever you go in life. So, be the best barista ever. Welcome guests as you park their cars. Find satisfaction in creating an efficient filing system. Think how you’re instilling a sense of wonder in your small children as you distract them from sibling rivalry or engage their curiosity when they complain of boredom. Offer suggestions when asked in company meetings. Become an expert in your area, so that you’re looked to for answers.
It’s by loving your part in excellence that you widen your sphere of influence, expand your horizons, and go on to bigger and better things.
Think about what gets you excited, what you can’t wait to do. The origin of this excitement is your passion. And passion is what makes life extraordinarily rich and rewarding. How sad that so many people put off doing what they find pleasurable because of a sense of duty, citing lack of time, or that it’s not right to have fun when there’s so much work to do, or some other excuse that robs them of vitality and fulfillment.
What I love is a lengthy list of pursuits and hobbies. These include reading, writing, gardening, travel, trying out new recipes, mastering a difficult challenge, getting several degrees in my chosen fields. When I’ve deprived myself of my passions, I’ve suffered the consequences. There’s no point in telling yourself that you can do this another time or that you just shouldn’t waste time on this, for tomorrow may never come. You don’t have to take all day to do what you want for free or play time, just take a small amount of time for yourself. Watch that comedy. Stroll through the mall and check out interesting sales. Linger on the nature trail to notice what’s changed since last you were here. Engage in continuous learning so you’re always reaching for the next level, expanding your horizons, and making new friends.
Be true to yourself and your values.
When you live in accordance with your values, you are living in integrity. No one can take your values from you, although many people hide what they believe and are afraid to live according to their core values out of a mistaken idea that they’ll do better by going along with what others or the majority believe and do. Herd mentality never serves anyone well, least of all the person of integrity.
Granted, you may have to buck the trend to be true to yourself and your values, but isn’t living in harmony with what you believe worth it? It is so much more life-affirming to live what you believe than to exist in a discordant state. For my part, among the many instances where I was torn between my beliefs and values and doing what was considered appropriate for me (by others), was when I took the exam to get into law school. Attorneys make a very good living, and if I became a lawyer, I thought, all my money troubles would be over. I did well enough on the test and began to take law classes. I hated every minute of it. That career choice was short-lived. I did a deep soul search and realized I owed it to myself to believe in my talent to write, and to find a career that allowed me to make use of my gifts.
Share your joy with others.
Spreading your enthusiasm and showing your happiness and joy can be contagious. If you are happy and filled with enthusiasm, others cannot help noticing. Your positivity can at least cause them to rethink their outlook for today, to entertain the possibility that things may be better than they thought and potentially improve their mood, subsequent interpersonal exchanges and action.
I’ve always enjoyed people-watching when I get my morning latte at my favorite coffeeshop. Instead of standing in line like a robot, waiting to be assisted, I find something congenial to say to the person in front or behind me. I do so with a smile. Invariably, I both surprise and delight the individual, who generally reciprocates with a smile and pleasant banter. It’s nothing consequential, yet it spreads a positive emotion and embraces human connection.

Bouncing back is a concept well understood in the context of recovering from a sports injury. Following favorite players’ comeback stories fills fans with inspiration, encourages perseverance in pursuit of personal goals, and fosters a sense of self-confidence, like we can do it if they can. Cultivating resilience in the face of all life’s challenges is a proactive way of dealing with the unexpected, the upsets and disappointments, the pitfalls and successes in life, including how to cope with trauma, chronic pain, adversity and tragedy.
A study in Health Psychology showed that the frequency and intensity of repeated or chronic everyday life strains is strongly associated with overall health and illness, even more so than major life events.
A 2013 study found that exposure to chronic frequent negative emotion and the inability to process daily stress exacts a long-term toll on mental health.
Resilience, say researchers in an article published in Trauma, Violence & Abuse, can manifest either as “prosocial behaviors or pathological adaptation depending on the quality of the environment.” If individuals suffering from lasting effects of trauma and adversity have access to resources that help them cope, they will be more likely to develop prosocial behaviors that may facilitate healing.
Rolbieki et al. (2017) explored resilience among patients living with chronic pain and found that they showed resiliency in four ways: developing a sense of control (actively seeking information and conferring with their doctor to confirm his/her recommendations; actively engaging in both medical and complementary treatment; making social connections and exhibiting acceptance of pain and positive effect.
One surprising finding is that chronic stress accelerates aging at the cellular level – in the body’s telomeres. These are the repeating segments of non-coding DNA at the end of chromosomes. Scientists have discovered that telomeres can be lengthened or shortened – so the goal is to have more days of renewal of cells than destruction or wear and tear on them.
Researchers suggest resilience should be regarded as an emotional muscle, one that can be strengthened and cultivated. Dr. Dennis Charney, co-author of “Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life’s Greatest Challenge,” says people can weather and recover from trauma by developing and incorporating 10 resilience skills, including facing fear, optimism and social support. Dr. Charney, resilience researcher and dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, was shot as he exited a deli. Following the shooting, Dr. Charney faced a long and difficult recovery. The resilience researcher himself had to employ strategies of coping he’d studied and taught.
Among the varied ways to develop and cultivate resilience, some are more self-evident than others, yet each is worth a try when attempting to weather life’s challenges.
Even small steps add to a sense of accomplishment, of being proactive instead of reactive. Start with something you feel confident you can do and ask for help if you need it. There’s a lot to be said about self-empowerment when you act in your own best interests. After all, no one else can act for you.
Everyone can benefit from having a toolkit of effective coping resources. Combat stress, depression, anxiety and other emotional, psychological and physical issues and conditions through meditation, mindful yoga, exercise and whatever helps you relax, including reading, music, doing puzzles, painting, writing and more.
Instead of regarding your situation as no-win, steer towards an attitude of flexibility. Learn the art of compromise, as in, “I may not be able to run a marathon, yet I can manage a walk in the neighborhood with friends.” In addition, when running into fatigue or pain that prevents you from continuing, congratulate yourself on your effort and the fact that you acted to improve your resilience. Over time, you’ll get stronger and be able to do more, thus adding to your resilience and helping to improve your overall physical and mental health.
Science says that some optimism is genetic, while some is learned. You can train yourself with practice in positive self-thinking to see opportunity instead of a dead-end, to view a glass as half full instead of half empty. There’s also truth in self-fulfilling attitudes. If you believe you’ll be successful in overcoming adversity, you’re more likely to succeed. The opposite is also true: If you think you’ll fail, you probably will.
When you need help, it’s OK to ask for it. In fact, when you know you have support available and are willing to use it, you’re exercising prosocial behavior. Similarly, when you can do so, offer your support to others who may need it.
There’s no point in engaging in blame or endlessly thinking about your situation. Besides being counter-productive, it makes you feel worse. Make use of some of the healthy coping measures you’ve successfully used before and stop ruminating about what happened to you.
Regard the setback/disappointment as temporary.
Nothing lasts forever, not even life-altering events, trauma, adversity and pain. You can navigate through this turbulent and emotionally trying time by realizing that this is temporary, and things will get better with your active involvement in your healing process.
Psychiatrists and psychologists call this “reframing” and it refers to changing your story to focus on the opportunities revealed. For example, say you’ve returned from active deployment in a war zone with extensive physical and psychological injuries. Instead of remaining steeped in the negative aspects of your experience, allow yourself to center on other senses, traits, skills and resources you have at your disposal – your empathy, understanding, ability to solve problems, a wide support network, loving family and close friends.
When you are grateful and actively cultivate gratitude, you are taking advantage of a basic part of resilience and in contentment in life. The more you develop gratitude, the more resilient you’ll become.
Remind yourself of other victories.
This may be an intensely challenging time for you, a time when failures and negativity seem paramount and inevitable. Now is when you must remind yourself of your past successes, examples of seemingly impossible hurdles you’ve overcome, victories you’ve scored. This serves as self-reminder that you’ve come back from adversity before. You can do it again.
Religion and spirituality have been shown as predictors of resilience in various populations studied, including returning war veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma sufferers, children and adults who experience abuse or violence, patients enduring chronic pain. Prayer, self-reflection, communicating with a Higher Power serves as a healing balm to many who otherwise may resort to negative coping behaviors, such as drinking and drug use.

It’s normal to wonder what you want to accomplish with your life. Sometimes such thoughts occur only intermittently, typically at milestone events such as high school graduation, entering college, getting a first job, meeting someone who becomes a romantic interest. Other times, though, you might dismiss any focus on future goals due to a more immediate concentration on what’s happening now. Still, life goals are important, for nothing worthwhile can be achieved without having a plan and working to succeed. These 10 tips on reaching your life goals may be helpful to do just that.
View goals as growth and aim high.
Having a goal is part of the growth process in becoming an adult. What’s often underappreciated, however, is what it takes to achieve those goals. It is more than merely thinking of the goal, working on it and then succeeding. One point that’s both straightforward and can make the achievement of even the loftiest goal a bit less formidable is to aim high. There can be immense satisfaction in knowing that the process of goal attainment helps you grow. Another crucial aspect of successfully achieving important life goals is to put into place specific plans to help you realize the goals.
Why is aiming high recommended? For one thing, it always helps to have stretch goals. Like it sounds, a stretch goal is one that you know is beyond your current reach, yet it is highly desirable. A stretch goal will require you to put in a great deal of thought, time and effort to be successful. It’s not something easily attainable or a goal that you can do with barely any thought or effort. While some successes you have are accomplishments, most aren’t all that memorable. Stretch goals involve challenges, going beyond your comfort zone, entertaining the possibility that you may be in a little over your head – for now. On the other hand, when organizations set stretch goals for employees, it may serve to undermine organizational performance.
In line with regarding goals as growth is the recommendation to always maintain a list of several goals. These can consist of starter goals, which can be goals you’re just investigating or want to try to see if they hold your interest, intermediate goals, such as a stepped approach to landing a coveted career, or long-term goals that may include where you want to one day retire, how many children to have, whether a one-on-one relationship is what you want. The reason to have several goals is so that you always have something to work toward that you consider valuable and worthwhile. The more a goal interests you, even if it’s considerably far off, the more motivated you’ll be to put in the time and effort required to see it through.
Give careful consideration to goals when planning.
To be truly memorable, and worthy of intense concentration and effort, your goal should cause you to think long and hard about how to approach it, when, where and how to revise or adapt it to changing circumstances, and what to take away from it one you either succeed, stumble, or discard it. For there is always a lesson or two to learn. Those who are most successful in achieving their stretch goals are the ones who’ve taken the time to master the lessons they learned during mistakes.
When putting your goals into a list, make sure to include a rough timetable for completion. It’s also wise to space out more complex, difficult or time-consuming goals so that you’re not trying to work on more than one of these at once. That’s scattering your focus and depleting your physical, emotional and psychological resources. Besides, if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. Sure, you can chip away at some of the easier goals to get some successes to your credit, while still putting in appropriate time, effort and attention before or after the no-brainer goals working on your high-value goals.
Be realistic, yet adventurous in goal-setting.
Does aiming high include taking risks? You bet. When a goal is stimulating, gets you excited and eager to begin, it’s also likely to contain an element of risk. You might not achieve it, at least not at first try. On the other hand, the journey toward life goal completion is an adventure, as it should be. Do be realistic about the goals you set, while still seeing yourself successful in some seemingly unattainable goals you’d like to master. Besides, research shows that goals that retain your interest can both improve your work and help reduce burnout.
Take note of past goal successes.
No matter what your goal, you’ve likely had some experience already in something similar. If not in totality, at least directionally, by aspiration, training, skill or talent. Such successes are the reservoir you can draw from for inspiration, motivation, and lessons learned. They can and will serve you well in any goal you want to pursue in life. You succeeded because you had a plan, persevered despite obstacles, found the lesson in mistakes, and were flexible enough to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.
Be flexible in goal implementation and be sure to monitor progress.
Recognizing that you might not fully realize a goal the first time you attempt it, keep in mind that flexibility in how you proceed with goals is crucial to ultimate success. What appears to be a rock solid plan may turn out to be less than ideal. Revision is not only advisable, but necessary. If you’re locked in and refuse to adapt and adjust, you will not only increase your frustration and stress, but you’re also much more likely to abandon the goal altogether. It’s also good strategy to monitor your progress toward goal achievement, as such regular check-ups increase both motivation and likelihood of success.
You can’t know everything, nor can you anticipate every possible circumstance before working on your goals. Succeeding in important life goals involves acknowledging, allowing and even accepting that you’ll make errors, mistakes, fall short on some aspects, perhaps undershoot the mark. Seniors with cognitive impairment may find themselves making more errors and mistakes than they did when younger, yet they’re still able to work toward life goals and gain a measure of fulfillment from both the pursuit and completion of goals they deem worthwhile. Practice patience, both if you are older and have trouble with concentration, focus and follow-through, or if you are the adult child, sibling, co-worker, friend or neighbor of someone who’s having a tough time succeeding with their goals.
Recognize some goals may feel uncomfortable – and that’s good.
Perhaps the best advice on reaching your life goals is to go for goals that are a little disconcerting. That is, they give you a twinge of uncertainty, even feel a bit uncomfortable. Why is that good? You want to strive to achieve goals that are yet beyond your reach. If they’re too easy, or too quickly achieved, you may not gain as much satisfaction, wisdom or advancement from their completion. That’s not to say that quickly-accomplished goals shouldn’t be on your list, just that the ones you really need to work for may be more meaningful to your life goals.

Consider that what we consider normal one day may seem abnormal another time. What seems impossible can be viewed as possible. What never occurred to us before may suddenly pop into our thoughts as an idea that’s tantalizingly accessible and real. We didn’t have a house when I was an adolescent, yet I had school friends who lived in nice homes with big yards. Their life seemed normal, while mine did not. A few years later, however, my parents were able to buy a house and we did have a nice yard with roses and other flowers in neatly manicured gardens. This felt normal. Being able to help my Dad cultivate the roses and peonies (I learned how to graft various kinds of rose bushes together) instilled in me my love of gardening. Today, it’s still one of my passions.
Normal is not extreme or going to extremes to feel normal. To realize that you’re normal, that you feel normal, it helps to trust in the simplicity of being true to your feelings. Know that you’ll feel awkward and out of place at times, or disappointed, upset, angry, possibly in pain, depending on what’s happened recently, your physical condition, any undue stress or pressure at work, school or home. Know that it’s OK to feel bad sometimes. In fact, it’s a sign that you’re human if you feel emotion deeply during times of grief, tragedy, heartbreak and compassion, as well as happiness, joy, pride and more. Acknowledge what you feel, then go on about your day. In other words, be true to your feelings, yet not enslaved by them.
I didn’t receive the kind of recognition my brother did and somehow that made me feel like I might lack some innate ability or intelligence. It’s not that I felt stupid because I didn’t. It was more that my brother seemed to always know the right answer. Just ask him. The plus side of this is that I always knew I’d get an answer from him if I asked – and he felt like giving it to me. Still, I saw how he went after goals and I strived to do the same. Each success I earned, however small, boosted my self-confidence and added to my self-esteem. It’s a lesson that stuck with me.

Who doesn’t enjoy a walk outdoors in nature? The fact that nature settings are less and less accessible to those who live in cities should be concerning, especially with respect to overall health and well-being. The fact is, however, that continuing research shows nature has multiple benefits for your well-being.
More than 50 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas and that proportion is projected to increase to 70 percent by 2050. Despite many benefits of urbanization, studies show that the mental health of urban dwellers is negatively affected by their city environment, with greater prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders and an increasing incidence of schizophrenia. Finding that bit of green space in cities or spending time in nature visiting rural areas may do more than provide a temporary escape from concrete, steel and glass.
Being in nature improves creativity and problem-solving.
Ever been stumped, hit a wall, unable to arrive at a well-reasoned decision? Most people have, at one time or another. It isn’t coincidence that talking time out to be in nature can result in a subsequent creativity surge and/or the sudden realization of a workable solution. Beyond that, according to 2012 research published in PLoS One, there is a cognitive advantage that accrues from spending time in a natural environment. Other research published in Landscape and Urban Planning found that complex working memory span improved and a decrease in anxiety and rumination resulted from exposure to natural green space.
Individuals with depression may benefit by interacting with nature.
Research published in the Journal of Affective Disorders in 2012 suggested that individuals with major depressive disorder who engaged in 50-minute walks in a natural setting showed significant memory span increases compared to study participants who walked in an urban setting. That participants also showed increases in mood was noted, the effects were not found to be correlated with memory, leading researchers to suggest that other mechanisms or replication of previous work may be involved.
Reductions in anxiety levels may result from green exercise.
While exercise is nearly universally recommended as a means of improving overall health and well-being, the benefits of green exercise have recently been studied relative to how such activity reduces levels of anxiety. Researchers found that green exercise produced moderate short-term reductions in anxiety, and found that for participants who believed they were exercising in more natural environments, the levels of reduction in anxiety were even greater.
Urban and rural green space may help mitigate stress for children and the elderly.
Relief of stress is an ongoing goal for millions of Americans living in urban areas, as well as for residents of cities across the globe. For children and the elderly, access to parks, playgrounds, gardens and other green areas in cities can help improve the health of these groups vulnerable to some of the challenges of urbanization.
Gardening can produce more than food for the table or aesthetically pleasing plants and landscaping. Working in the garden is also beneficial for reducing acute stress. So says the research from Van Den Berg and Custers (2011) who found reduced levels of salivary cortisol and improved mood following gardening.
A nature walk could help your heart.
Among the many health benefits ascribed to being in nature, say scientists, is the protective mechanism that nature exerts on cardiovascular function. This is due to the association between improved affect and heat reduction from natural environments in urban areas. Other research found that walks in nature reduce blood pressure, adrenaline and noradrenaline and that such protective effects remain after the nature walk concludes. Japanese researchers in a study published in 2011 suggested that habitual walks in a forest environment benefit cardiovascular and metabolic parameters. Another Japanese study of middle-aged males engaging in forest bathing found significantly reduced pulse rate and urinary adrenaline, as well as significantly increased scores for vigor and reduced scores for depression, anxiety, confusion and fatigue.
Mood and self-esteem improve after green exercise.
A 2012 study published in Perspectives in Public Health found that study participants, all of whom experienced mental health issues, engaging in exercise in nature activities showed significant improvements in self-esteem and mood levels. Researchers suggested that combining exercise, social components and nature in future programs may help promote mental healthcare. Research by Barton and Pretty (2010) found that both men and women experienced improvements in self-esteem following green exercise, with the greatest improvements among those with mental illness. The greatest changes in self-esteem occurred with youngest participants, with effects diminishing with age. Mood, on the other hand, showed the least amount of change with the young and the old.
Green space in a living environment increases residents’ general health perception.
Not everyone lives in a natural environment, where abundant trees and open space provide welcoming respite from everyday stress and a convenient outlet for beneficial exercise. However, the addition of thoughtfully-planned open spaces in urban environments can add to city dwellers’ perceptions of their general health. That’s according to 2006 research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
Nature can improve the quality of life for older adults.
As adults age, they often experience diminished quality of life due to medical issues and mental health concerns. In a 2015 study published in Health and Place, researchers found that nature exerts an influential and nuanced effect on the lives of older adults. They further suggested that a better understanding of how seniors experience both health and landscape will better inform methods to improve daily contact with nature that can lead to a higher quality of life for this population.
Natural environments promote women’s everyday emotional health and well-being.
Sedentary lifestyle in urban environments has been lined with poor mental health among women. Yet, it’s more than just getting up from the desk in an office environment and taking a quick walk that works best to augment overall emotional health and well-being. There’s increasing evidence that public access to natural environments helps women to alleviate stress and anxiety and facilitate clarity, reassurance and emotional perspective.

In a longitudinal study of a general population sample of 332 Dutch children, Judi Mesman and Hans Koot (2001) tested prediction of DSM-IV diagnoses at ages 10-11 from ages 2-3 CBCL ratings, physical health problems, stressful experiences, and family risk factors. When all the candidate predictors were tested in multiple logistic regressions, ages 2-3 Internalizing scores and physical health problems were the only significant predictors of ages 10-11 internalizing diagnoses (anxiety and mood disorders).
Ages 2-3 Externalizing scores, physical health problems, and stressful life events were the only significant predictors of externalizing diagnoses (ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder). The authors concluded that when preschool child characteristics (i.e., internalizing and externalizing problems and physical health problems) are accounted for, most environmental factors (i.e., harsh parenting, negative maternal attitude, family psychopathology, maternal absence, low SES) do not independently contribute to the prediction of preadolescent psychopathology” (p. 1034).

So once again, all too soon, summer exam season has crept up on us.
We’ve all been there, scribbling away furiously, with one eye on the clock (which seems to be ticking away at twice its normal speed) and the other on our question papers, making sure we’ve answered everything as clearly and in as much detail as possible.
I’ve definitely felt awful exam nerves before, as I’m sure many of you may have as well!
So without further ado – our Word of the Week, which is ‘avoir le trac’.
To have exam nerves, or to have butterflies in your stomach when you’re nervous. It can also be used to refer to having stage fright.
French language site L’Internaute claims that ‘avoir le trac’ only started becoming used from the middle of the nineteenth century onwards, and that the origins of the expression are unclear.
However, French Wiktionary suggests two other theories here to explain the root of the expression. One possibility is that the word ‘trac’ either comes from the Romany word ‘trach’, which means ‘fear’ or ‘anxiety’, or the Czech word ‘strach’, which also means ‘fear’.
Être traqueur/être traqueuse = to be a nervous wreck.
Être à bout de nerfs = to be on edge/very nervous.
Être angoissé/être angoissée = to be anxious.
Avoir peur = to be scared.
Être stressé/être stressée = to be stressed.

"We essentially got fed up with the whole cat-and-mouse thing," says Konigsburg. "With new synthetic drugs being developed each week in national laboratories, it's become nearly impossible to sniff them all out. Many of the games have become nothing more than a test of who has the best chemistry set, rather than any kind of pure competition between athletes. We decided that the best way to level the playing field would be to simply remove all restrictions. Let them knock themselves out."
The IOC and WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, have been fighting a losing battle against performance enhancers almost since the early days of the East German women's bobsled teams, many of which were composed of semi-synthetic members weighing up to 240 kg, with 98% muscle mass and extensive five o'clock shadow. Over the years, the increasing sophistication of drug technology exceeded the pace of improvements in testing procedures, until it had become virtually impossible to successfully screen all athletes.
"Beijing 2008 was almost comical," said Maxine Yunus, assistant statistician at WADA. "Olympic records were broken in virtually every running, jumping, swimming and endurance event. The gold medal winner for the women's long jump, Julie Kearney, broke the previous Olympic record by nearly a meter. You don't get that kind of improvement through diet, exercise and better sneakers alone."
Kearney, while shattering the previous record, had in fact struggled to capture the gold, finishing only a few centimeters ahead of her closet rivals.
"It's absurd," continued Yunus. "The labs are churning out new variations on standard themes all the time, swapping a molecule here, snipping a bond there, and whammo, brand new drug. Our testing equipment won't flag it, because we don't know about it yet. Or even if we do catch it, it won't yet be on the list of proscribed medications, so there's no penalty until the next Olympics. But by then, of course, it's too late."
Konigsburg indicated that doping, while widespread, is by no means universal.
"But those poor un-juiced suckers have no shot. The division was pretty clear between the fields, drugged and not-drugged. In the 100 meter, the top five finishers came in at around 8.2 seconds. The other guys were still on their knees. It's not that hard to see who's doped to the gills."
The IOC also hopes that legalized doping will restore flagging international public and sponsor interest in the games.
"Let's face it, all the recent records were set using truckloads of pharmaceuticals," said Konigsburg. "Unmedicated humans will never come close. And who wants to look like a loser against the backdrop of history? We need the eyeballs. We need the sponsors. So bring on the drugs."

Why Adopt an Adult in California?
The relationship between parent and child is a powerful thing. Being a role model for your children as you watch them grow into adults can be hugely rewarding and meaningful to all parties involved. However, there are times when you meet someone as an adult and become a parental figure in his/her life, which can be just as meaningful and rewarding. Together you may decide to take on a more permanent role in one another’s lives by making your relationship legally formalized through an adoption. You might know that adult adoption is the best course of action, but some might ask, why would you want to adopt an adult? There are plenty of good reasons to adopt an adult in California, which we will explore below.
If you or a loved one are seeking information for an adult adoption, contact an experienced California Legal Document Assistant to discuss the unique details of your situation.
● Inheritance: An adult adoption allows for someone to leave property or financial assets to an adopted adult son or daughter more easily.
● Formalize a Relationship: Adult adoption allows parental figures to legally formalize their relationships with their children. For example, someone who has foster children who have grown up into adulthood might want to formalize that parent-child bond. Or, perhaps a stepparent seeks to adopt a stepchild who his over the age of 18.
● Long-Term Care: Adult adoption may provide perpetual care for an individual with a disability or who has diminished capacity. In this situation, adult adoption legally establishes the “parent” as a decision maker for the “child’s” medical and housing needs. This, in turn, provides for a lifetime of care for the adopted adult child.
An adult adoption may be the best option for a number of reasons, not limited to those listed above. If you have questions about an adult adoption, contact us for assistance with the process and paperwork.
Need Assistance with the Legal Paperwork to Adopt an Adult?
The process consists of complex legal documentation and other legal formalities that one must adhere to before finalizing the adoption. Do not let the intimidating adult adoption process stop you from reaping the benefits of an adult adoption! Hiring an experienced legal document assistant ensures the effective handling of your adult adoption.
If you or a loved one are seeking an adult adoption, contact IntegriDocs to help you with your paperwork.

Thanks to the off-road extras, including an enlarged fuel tank holding 100 litres, Touareg is almost up for any challenge. It climbs slopes with a gradient of 45 degrees, descends hills at 2-3 km/h thanks to an electronic assistance, and masters the lateral slope gradient of up to 35 degrees. The driver activates the off-road programme, reduction, both differential locks and the driving mode through a five-stage rotary switch. Area View is a global innovative solution which displays the whole area around Touareg to the driver on a display.
Move your cursor over the icons to learn more about the various stages of the Offroad Parcours.
The first offroad barricade out of 26! After this barricade the belts get tightened. There is no better start for this adrenalin filled adventure with the Volkswagen Touareg.
The driver surfs through the stones, not with a surfboard, but with the Touareg. With his technical assistance systems, like differential lock, the passing through is made very comfortable.
The driver gets the feeling of Dakar, when he laps in the sand bed.
Bricks, road coatings and stones. That’s the wall passage. What seems to be easy, makes you feel the pure offroad feeling after the first meters.
A range of 45° ordered trunk shows you what the Touareg can afford in this terrain.
No space for a change manoeuvre on this bridge. Three meters above the ground there’s a bridge made out of two U-forms.
A trunk-track is passed over. These corduroy roads were used during the snowmelt in North European countries, when the ground turned into an impassable bog.
This part is essential on every offroad track, because here you can freak out before the next attraction.
Touareg in lateral position and still steady on the ground. Hill with 35° lateral inclination.
A desiccated river bed, like those you find in the “Grand Canyon”. Big and small rock barricades are blocking the passing through, but the Touareg makes his job with bravura.
“Crushed stones are accruing by grinding stones”. The car drives through the stone ground, without showing any weakness.
An extreme offset passage must be passed. The trunks are ordered, so that minimum one tire is always in the air.
Two U-formed crossings must be managed. No, don’t drive around the attraction. You get the best result, if you pass the attraction through diagonally.
A mountain with 45° acclivity. This acclivity pledges dorsale. The surface is made out of broken stones in a cement bed.
A mountain with 26° acclivity. The surface is made out of concrete blocks.
A mountain with 24° acclivity. The surface is made out of tightened crushed stones.
70% acclivity followed by 80% fall shall be managed here. The driver has the feeling to float.
Die Auffahrt ist ein „Klacks“, denn der Touareg macht seinen Job im Offroad Gelände hervorragend. Um aber auf der Spitze mit Blick in den Himmel abbiegen zu können, wird Unterstützung nötig. Area View hilft, die Kurve zu sehen und auf der Strecke zu bleiben.
The driver conquers an old Roman road made out of stones and holes in the Touareg.
In the ground there are fixed trunks and there are only waiting to be passed over.
Er speit keine Lava mehr, sorgt aber trotzdem für Adrenalin. Umso höher man den Vulkan mit den Reifen erklimmt, umso besser wird das Gefühl der Schräglage im Auto.
This isn’t allowed in the city, but for the Touareg there’s no technical problem to manage these steps. It goes up and down on over a barricade made out of convrete.
The water is 50 cm deep. The Touareg passes through the water, the driver stays dry.
The last barricade of the offroad track. A part which is maimed with craters and little hills. Here the driver is brought back to reality again.
The Offroad Parcours track is open from April to October. For safety reasons, access for children under the age of 12 is denied.
