I'm 5'11" and I had to duck while *walking* my bike several times. Two: there are a number of extremely low-clearance parts of this trail where it passes under the Bronx River Parkway. Gravel bikes and hybrids will likely have no problems, but folding bikes and skinny-tire road bikes may want to be cautious in this section - it's unfortunately too long to simply walk it. I took my Brompton since I was expecting asphalt the whole way, and while it performed surprisingly admirably on the gravel, it was still rough enough to give me a tire puncture. One: there is a small section of gravel between Hartsdale and White Plains. I do have two warnings, which I've also submitted as edits to the description of this trail, so hopefully they'll appear above this review in the future. While it's not exactly a quiet trail, running alongside the Bronx River Parkway for the majority of it, it is surprisingly secluded and peaceful. I took the Metro North out of the city up to Bronxville to cycle all the way to the north end of this trail, and had a very good time. On a positive note, I did see a bobcat! * The trail description of the trail on the national park web page, the official Rails to Trails book for PA and other sources need to be updated to reflect the true condition(s) of the trail. Until the trail condition is resolved, I sadly won't be returning to this trail again. I took my regular mountain bike (no suspension) and my body was shaken all over the place due to the trail condition. If I'm having issues with a trail, there's good reason. I had planned to do the entire trail out and back. It took me five hours to go 36 miles - 18 miles out and 18 miles back. Though I'm not any sort of professional biker, I am someone who takes 70 mile road bike day trips on a regular basis. Yes, there are sections that are flat, but there are also sections that are so steep that you're forced to get off your bike to get up it. which turned the trail into one that is only suitable for a mountain bike with suspension. It's HORRIBLE!! Someone got the bright idea to put very large gravel down on the trail. The trail gets five stars for these features. It's not due to the location, the scenery or lack of variety. I can't believe I'm forced to give this trail two stars. Typically, Dome Antennas are mounted on ceilings. How you plan to install an inside antenna will have a bearing on which antenna will work best for your installation. Just like outside antennas, inside antennas can be omni-directional or directional. Use a directional if your installation requires the strongest signal and your service provider(s) are located in one direction. And, each service providers tower is in different directions, an omni-directional antenna is best.ĭirectional antennas have higher gains because their radiation pattern focuses in one direction. For instance, use an omni-directional antenna if your repeater system installation goal is to obtain a signal from several service providers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile for example). Omni-directional building antennas are best for capturing a signal from several towers in the area. The outside antenna can be omni-directional (capturing a cellular signal from around its whip, or it can also be a directional antenna (sending and receiving the signal in one direction). Here is an excellent video by Wilson Electronics on how an In-Building Signal Booster. The signal is amplified and sent back to the tower via the outside antenna. The inside antenna captures the signal, and it travels to the amplifier. Sending a cellular signal works in reverse. The signal is then amplified and rebroadcast through the Inside antenna. The signal transfers to the Cellular Repeater Amplifier through a cable. The Basic SystemĪ cell repeater system is a system that takes the cellular signal from outside a building, amplifies it, then repeats (rebroadcasts) the signal inside of a building.Ī simple repeater system consists of 3 essential components:Ī cellular repeater system captures the signal using the Outside Antenna. If you need more help or have questions, please feel free to contact us. Remember, much of the following are generalizations and simplifications but enough information to select parts for a simple system. We explain the components and factors to consider when selecting each part of a system. We've put together a brief summary of the basics of an in-building cellular signal repeater system in nontechnical terms. However, sometimes it’s unavoidable, so, it’s important to know some effective de-escalation strategies as well.Īlthough some of these techniques may seem more like “what not to do”, sometimes our own responses and emotions do make things worse. The success rate of prevention is far greater than that of de-escalation. Ideally, you should aim to prevent meltdowns and outbursts. You can and certainly should set boundaries, tell your child “no” and discipline them you just need to wait until the forebrain is in control if you want those things to actually benefit your child. This is why during times where the hindbrain is in control it’s important to remain calm and ensure safety until the forebrain is back in control. (I have some free resources for helping kids (and parents) better understand fight or flight here. It’s like having an alarm system on your home to protect you from burglars but it’s so sensitive that it goes off any time a bird lands on your roof. When faced with true danger, if the thinking part of our brain was functioning we’d hesitate and/or try to use logic and it could cost us our lives.ĭuring a meltdown, often what happens is that ‘alarm’ goes off when there’s not a true threat. This is a primal survival instinct, known as fight or flight. It shuts down the thinking part of the brain and simply reacts to a threat (whether perceived or real). This diagram helps make it more clear.ĭuring a meltdown, the brain enters survival mode. A lot of parents question why I advise avoiding saying no, or trying to reason with a child during a meltdown. You might want to resize the mushroom of your choice so that it fits the plate or so that you can fit multiple mushrooms on the surface.Ĭolor them in and cut them out, and then you’re going to Mod Podge the mushroom(s) to the plate, applying a few coats at least.

Self-esteem A positive sense of self and confidence in one’s strengths can stave off feelings of helplessness in the face of adversity.Social support Research shows that one’s supportive social systems, which can include immediate or extended family, community, friends, and organizations, foster one’s resilience in times of crisis or trauma and support resilience in the individual.RELATED: 20 Tips for Building and Cultivating Your ResilienceĪccording to resilience theory, other factors that help build resilience include: In a previous longitudinal study, factors that were protective for adolescents at risk of depression, such as family cohesion, positive self-appraisals, and good interpersonal relations, also led to more resilience in young adulthood. Resilience is also something that you develop over time. The availability and quality of social resourcesĪ combination of factors contributes to building resilience, and there isn’t a simple to-do list to work through adversity.The ways someone views and engages with the world.It involves a combination of inner strengths and outer resources, and there isn’t a universal formula for becoming more resilient.Īccording to APA, some of the key factors that contribute to one’s personal resilience include: Sood says resilience involves these five principles:ĭeveloping resilience is both complex and personal. Research shows that when students believe that both intellectual abilities and social attributes can be developed and improved they increase their own resilience, showing a lower stress response to adversity and improved performance. And it’s not constant, in that you might demonstrate a lot of resilience when it comes to one challenge you’re faced with, but struggle more with being resilient when it comes to another stressor you’re up against.įlexibility, adaptability, and perseverance can help people tap into their resilience by changing certain thoughts and behaviors. Resilience theory tells us that resilience isn’t a fixed trait (you can grow your capacity to practice resilience). Resilience theory has been studied across different fields, including psychiatry, human development, and change management. Resilience theory refers to the ideas surrounding how people are affected by and adapt to challenging things like adversity, change, loss, and risk. People have to learn to cope with and work through very challenging life experiences. There is the shared reality of tragic events in the news, such as terrorist attacks, mass shootings, natural disasters, a global pandemic, and war. There are personal crises, such as illness, loss of a loved one, abuse, bullying, job loss, and financial instability. People face all kinds of adversity in life. Demonstrating resilience includes working through emotional pain and suffering. It depends on personal behaviors and skills (like self-esteem and communication skills), as well as external things (like social support and resources available to you).īeing resilient does not mean that people don’t experience stress, emotional upheaval, and suffering. Building resilience takes time, strength, and help from people around you you’ll likely experience setbacks along the way. It’s important to note that being resilient requires a skill set that you can work on and grow over time. Sood is also a member of the Everyday Health Wellness Advisory Board.) “It’s your ability to withstand adversity and bounce back and grow despite life’s downturns,” says Amit Sood, MD, the executive director of the Global Center for Resiliency and Well-Being and the creator of the Resilient Option program. It’s having the mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and ability to adjust to both internal and external demands, per APA. Resilience refers to both the process and the outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, according to the definition from the American Psychological Association (APA). What is resilience, why is it so important, and how do you know if you’re resilient enough? “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz Video Performance Use the Ukulele Tricks chord library to look up these chords and get the chord diagrams. To help you find the right key for your voice, I’m going to first include the chart for the original key, and then, I’ll include another chord chart for the key of Bb and A. I find it’s much easier to play and sing when it’s lowered a half step to the key of Bb major. This song is originally recorded in the key of B major but sometimes for live performances Mraz will lower the key a half step or two to make it easier to sing. Learn how to play Jason Mraz’s with the ukulele chord diagrams and chart below and get some tips on the strumming you can use to play this song. With laid back vibes that make you feel like you’re strumming on the beach somewhere in Hawaii, this song is fun to play. It’s simple and fun to play along to, and the laidback tempo makes it a good piece to practice chord changes to.If there’s one song every ukulele player needs to know, it’s Jason Mraz’s I’m Yours on ukulele. This simply involves playing on the up and downbeats, meaning you don’t have to think about more complex or irregular rhythms when playing:ĭespite not actually featuring any ukulele on the recording, we think “I’m Yours” is a fantastic choice for beginners to the instrument to learn. If you’d like a simplified strumming pattern, then you can use the one below. This isn’t necessary per se, but helps recreate the feel of the original recording.ġ & 2 & 3 & 4 & Strumming – Simplified/Easier Pattern Also, both of those first two notes are downstrokes. You’ll notice that there is a rest between the first and second note of this pattern. Ghost notes are an easy way of adding a percussive element to your ukulele playing and work especially well in songs with a strong, rhythmic feel like “I’m Yours”. Instead of playing a chord, you simply flatten your fretting hand across the strings and strum. If you want to make strumming along to “I’m Yours” even funkier, you can try adding a ghost note to the strumming pattern (denoted by x). If you want to get as close a sound as possible to the original recording, you can try palm-muting the chords represented by lowercase d/u.ġ & 2 & 3 & 4 & Strumming – Rhythmic Pattern In the chord diagram below, a lowercase d/u designates a normal downstroke or upstroke, while an uppercase d/u represents a stroke played with extra attack/emphasis. It’s important to listen to the recording and pay close attention to the guitar, because the instrumentation in “I’m Yours” is not recorded with a simple/straight feel. To really nail the feel that Mraz gets out of his guitar, try to attack or play the chords on the 2& and 4& beats harder than the others. Here’s a diagram for the ‘original’ strumming pattern. If you’re comfortable with playing slightly more complex rhythms, then this is a really fun way to play through the chords in “I’m Yours”. To us, it almost sounds like the guitar in the recording is mimicking the percussive effect you can get from a ukulele with extensive palm muting, so we thought it would only be fitting to play this pattern on the uke and see how it sounds. This strumming pattern is essentially the same as what the guitar plays in the original recording. This is a nice way to change the overall feel of the song and add some rhythmic complexity to your performance, if that’s what you’re going for. The fact that the chords for this song are fairly simple and repetitive means you have plenty of room for experimenting with the strumming pattern. View the complete ukulele chord chart for “I’m Yours” here. The interlude features the following chords in this order: Tuch-tu… ~ don’t you want to come on Īnd I will nibble your ear Interlude Chorusįor the first chorus, the chords are the same as the first verse:īut I won’t hesitate no more, no moreĪnd the second, extended chorus features a G/B chord, as well as that D7/F# again, before leading into the interlude: Listen to the music of the moment people dance and singĪnd it’s our godforsaken right to be loved, In the last line of the second verse, the progression changes slightly and a D7/F# is thrown into the mix for a bit of variation: I tried to be chill, but you’re so hot that I melted Well, you done done me an’ you bet I felt it It’s important to note that the chord doesn’t change at the beginning of each vocal phrase, but slightly after this is reflected in the chart below. This is the chord progression that repeats throughout the whole song and, when combined with the instrumental, gives “I’m Yours” its bouncy feel.
