Good Morning Peeps and welcome on this Wednesday to our wonderful Community.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FOR CHILDREN DAY

We celebrate Emergency Medical Services for Children Day on Wednesday during Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week. Also known as EMS Day, we give special thanks to EMS providers for the way they respond to the needs of millions of Americans every year.

On Emergency Medical Services for Children Day, we raise awareness of the need improving specialized care for children. Emergency care often comes from parents, caregivers, trained EMS providers and hospital personnel. Together, they strive to meet the unique needs of critically ill or injured pediatric patients.

Emergency Medical Services are a combination of resources that make up a large system. The organizational structure of EMS not only provides medical services, it also provides financial and community services. Agencies in EMS services include fire departments, law enforcement, search and rescue and medical personnel. In its entirety, EMS services is massive.

The primary goal of any EMS service is to provide emergency medical care. All EMS service are members of a community that are first on scene of an emergency and can identify health problems. Whether an emergency includes a accident, hazard spills or a life threatening illness, EMS service providers are trained individuals who have one goal–provide emergency medical care.

The network of EMS consists of, but are not limited to:

Private and public agencies.
Hospitals and trauma centers.
Rehab facilities.
Trained professionals for emergency treatment.
911 networks.
Volunteers.
Federal, state, city and county government officials.

NATIONAL CRAFT DISTILLERY DAY | MAY 22

On May 22nd, National Craft Distillery Day adds spirits to the small-batch revolution. Recognizing the diversity of distilled spirits, the industry followed in the footsteps of the craft brewers and began creating a market for themselves.

History of Distilling

Spirit distillation has a long and influential history going back to the Greeks. Some scholars trace the earliest recorded wine distilling recipes back to Anaxilaus of Thessaly. Despite this, Rome expelled him for practicing magic in 28 B.C. The Greeks also took this idea and learned if they boiled wine in an open container, the hot alcohol vapor escaped first. Next, they captured the alcohol vapor.

When they slowly heated the wine in a vessel with a small mouth covered by a bowl, the alcohol collected as a condensed vapor inside the bowl. Then the Greeks discovered with the addition of a downward-slanted tube the vapor cooled and collected in the receiving vessel. Thus, the word “distill” comes from the Latin verb destillare, meaning “to drip down.”

Craft Distilleries

Years of invention and discovery led to the spirits we drink today. Much like the boom of craft breweries in the 90s, today’s small craft distilleries complement large distilleries with artisan-crafted spirits. From gin and whiskey to bourbon, rum, and vodka, craft distillers infuse unique qualities into their products while using locally sourced ingredients. Focusing on their craft and bringing a subtle character to their final spirit, distilleries set themselves apart from the competition. And the competition grows!

NATIONAL VANILLA PUDDING DAY | MAY 22

May 22nd is the day we recognize National Vanilla Pudding Day. Enjoy it with a delicious dish of cold, creamy vanilla pudding.

The puddings we enjoy as desserts today are not what was commonly known as pudding at ancient dinner tables. Most medieval puddings were meat-based and seasoned with herbs and spices. Even sweetened cooks usually served them hot. Toward the end of the 18th century, people more than likely made puddings from grains or day-old bread with nuts, fruit, or meats. They used these puddings to stretch meals for a large family.

The creamy pudding we are more familiar with today is related to the custard, minus the eggs.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but spouses who are chemists are the inventors. When you are Alfred Bird and your wife is allergic to eggs, that is very true. In 1837, Bird invented an egg-free custard powder using flavored cornstarch.

My-T-Fine produced the earliest packaged pudding in the United States in 1918. This and other puddings like them still required cooking on the stove. The instant version came along in the mid-1940s. On its own or as an ingredient in a larger recipe, pudding can be enjoyed in various flavors.

NATIONAL SOLITAIRE DAY | MAY 22
On May 22, National Solitaire Day recognizes a card game that has been around for more than 200 years.

Also known as Klondike, the classic version of the game uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The object of the game is to clear the board by creating a stack of cards from low to high in each suit. If the player completes each suit, the player wins the game of Solitaire.

It wasn’t until 1990 when Microsoft included Solitaire in Windows 3.0 that the game truly went viral.Microsoft Solitaire successfully helped teach computer users how to use a mouse and, in the process, ended up becoming one of the most played video games in history.

“…For the past 30 years,Microsoft Solitaire has been providing great entertainment to hundreds of millions of players in every corner of the world, and we’re happy to announce that May 22 of each calendar year will officially be designated as National Solitaire Day, recognizing the day Microsoft first included Solitaire in Windows,” says Paul Jensen, Studio Manager for Microsoft Casual Games.

In 2012, Microsoft evolved Solitaire into the Microsoft Solitaire Collection.These changes feature five of the top Solitaire games in one app. Since then, the game has been played by over 242 million people.
