Noted Ontario Lawyer’s New Book on Divorce and the Coronavirus Hit Shelves Russell Alexander delayed release to update the book with pandemic-related answers
LINDSAY, Ontario—Noted Ontario family lawyer Russell Alexander’s new book on divorce and the coronavirus is on sale now.
Alexander delayed publication of his second book, “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Divorce,” to update it with a special chapter, Divorce During a Pandemic, answering questions on how the current health crisis has affected divorce cases and changed the legal practice.
“I wrote this book around the most common questions I have faced as a divorce lawyer over the last twenty years,” said Alexander. “But since the pandemic, I’ve gotten some new ones, and I wanted to make sure I answered those as well.”
The book is available to purchase online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple Books, as well as through Bibliotheca, Rakuten Kobo, Tolino and Baker & Taylor. Russell Alexander Collaborative Family has also provided copies to local bookstores and mental health counselors in Ontario.
Readers may also pick up a copy at the list price of $22.12 at the firm’s six offices throughout Ontario. All proceeds will be donated to the Giving Fund in support of various community-based programs.
In the book, Alexander walks couples who are considering divorce through the process from their initial meeting with an attorney to the final settlement, giving advice on alternative dispute resolution as an alternative to brutal courtroom fights, among other subjects. In a special chapter on the pandemic, he answers questions about spousal support, custody and parenting handoffs that have been complicated by the health crisis.
“Divorce is one of the most stressful experiences you can go through, even more so during a pandemic,” added Alexander. “I hope that giving straightforward advice to couples considering it, I can reduce some of that stress so that they can focus on what matters to their family.”
Alexander’s previous book, “The Path to a Successful Divorce,” became a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon. He is a faculty member of the American Bar Association TECHSHOW and has spoken at conferences in Toronto and Chicago.
Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers is committed to practicing exclusively in the area of family law in Ontario dealing with all aspects, including separation and divorce, child custody and access, spousal support, child support, and division of family property.

Getting Back Your Full Range of Motion After a Workout Injury
After a workout injury, you're likely eager to return to your old exercise routine with a few mindful modifications, of course. One common mistake patients make is returning to their old habits too quickly and either reinjuring or worsening their existing injury. Pacing is key. As you work toward recovery, prioritizing your health, strength, and resilience will enable you to workout smarter and more safely in the future.
Start Small
Speak with your physician about when it's safe to start exercising again. The body will be less conditioned after even just a few days without working out, but that does not mean you can jump back in and try to prevent further deterioration. Depending on the severity of your injury, it's best to have a period of rest and then gradually reintroduce exercise into your daily routine.
A runner or athlete with a torn ligament, for example, cannot simply take off as soon as they start to feel they've healed. They'll have to work out systematically, beginning with walks and progressively increasing the speed and duration of their physical activity.
Break Up Your Workouts
Shorter periods of exercise will help prevent injury while building strength and preventing muscular strain. Rather than forcing your body to pull through a workout it isn't ready to handle yet, consider smaller 10- to 15-minute workouts that are easier on your body and can be implemented into your daily routine.
For those whose injuries required corrective surgical procedures, simple, small exercises will be key to maintaining physical fitness and preserving your mental health while optimizing your recovery outcomes.
Don't Overlook Warmups and Cooldowns
Many sports and exercise-related injuries are caused because people did not properly prepare their bodies for the challenge. Even physical exercise you practice with ease requires a tremendous amount of effort and coordination from your muscles, ligaments, and bones.
Consider adding a daily stretching routine when you wake up and before bed in addition to your workout warmup and cooldown. These steps will improve your flexibility, lowering your risk of reinjury and giving you an all-around more effective workout.
Consult a Professional
Consider speaking with a sports medicine doctor who can assist your recovery. Although your general physician is likely helpful, a sports medicine professional understands the unique challenges to recovery that athletes face. Even if you only frequent the gym and don't consider yourself an proper athlete, an expert in the field can help structure your recovery program in a way that retains your existing strength and helps you heal better and stronger.
Coordinating your recovery with a variety of professionals can be helpful as well. Sports massage therapists, physical therapists, and sports medicine doctors are all experts who can help educate you about exercise safety, injury prevention and recovery strategies.
Workout injuries are frustrating, but you shouldn’t skimp on caring for them. Taking proper care of the injury will ensure that your recovery goes well and holds up when you’re ready to start working out again. Talk to your physician and a sports medicine doctor for more advice on how to get back your full strength and range of motion after an injury.

Residents, care partners, families rightly expect action on long-term care, says Alzheimer Society
TORONTO, July 30, 2020 /CNW/ - While welcoming the recent announcement of a commission into long-term care, the Alzheimer Society of Ontario is urging swift progress on concerns long highlighted by residents, staff, care partners, and families.
"We don't need to wait for another report to start providing better care to long-term care residents", says Cathy Barrick, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of Ontario. "COVID-19 did not create the problems we're seeing now; it just drew attention to what has long been an overstretched system."
Barrick noted that nearly 90% of long-term care residents have some form of cognitive impairment, including over two-thirds who live with dementia. These residents have unique care needs—needs which are not being met in far too many homes. Instead, under-resourced homes have resorted to the dehumanising use of restraints and potentially inappropriate use of medication: residents living with dementia are three times as likely to be subjected to the daily use of physical restraints, and twice as likely to be prescribed antipsychotics without a diagnosis of psychosis. These issues long predate the current pandemic.
"Dementia and long-term care are inseparable", says Barrick. "The voices of residents, care partners, and families impacted by dementia must be given a prominent voice by the commission."

LAS VEGAS, NV -- July 30, 2020 – CrossRoads of Southern Nevada, NV’s top drug and alcohol addiction treatment center, recently organized and participated with the Freedom House, and Shine-a-Light Project, a morning of service to bring supplies and counseling to the many homeless living under the city of Las Vegas in the miles of flood tunnels.
CrossRoads CEO Dave Marlon participated with Paul Vautrinot, of Shine-a-Light, and Freedom House Sober Living.
Volunteers waded into the tunnel system, armed with backpacks full of granola bars, water bottles, Narcan, clean clothes, and canned foods. (Pictures available). They met with dozens of people who are living in the tunnels full time, many of them have been there for years.
“We were able to sit and talk and have good conversations with these people,” said Dave Marlon. “It’s important to remember they are still people and may be suffering from a mental illness. We want to help them. And we can help them with effective treatment.”
Marlon and his team of volunteers were able to convince one member of the homeless camp to take beds at CrossRoads and seek treatment – all paid for by Medicaid.

International cystic fibrosis study to investigate real-world effects of new triple combination drug
Dublin, Ireland, Thursday, 30 July 2020 – Researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences are leading a new €3m study to investigate the real-world effects of the newest cystic fibrosis medications as they become available for people with CF.
The research will look at how a new triple combination cystic fibrosis drug, Kaftrio, will affect people in their day to day lives, rather than in controlled clinical trial conditions. Kaftrio (known as TriKafta in the US) is a successor to Orkambi.
The project, called RECOVER, has been awarded €2.85 m from Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (US), €112 thousand from Cystic Fibrosis Trust (UK) and €100 thousand from Cystic Fibrosis Ireland.
In recent years, a number of promising new medications have been developed that treat the underlying genetic defect in cystic fibrosis. The most recent triple combination cystic fibrosis drug, Kaftrio, has demonstrated striking improvements in clinical trials of people with the most common form of cystic fibrosis.
Pending final European Medicines Agency approval, expected in the next number of weeks, these new medications will be provided for use in the majority of people with cystic fibrosis in Ireland and the UK as part of an existing agreement between the manufacturer and the respective states.
Starting in August 2020, the study will recruit patients and begin to examine clinical outcomes over a two year period across cystic fibrosis centres in Ireland and the UK. In addition to collecting routine health measurements, they will study detailed imaging, functional, biological and quality of life measurements that could not be collected in clinical trials.
“Our study will allow us to discover in detail how this powerful new treatment affects the health and everyday lives of people with cystic fibrosis, to understand why different people might respond differently to the drug and to gain insight into how this treatment might affect the very significant treatment burden that people with cystic fibrosis currently endure,” said Professor Paul McNally, Associate Professor of Paediatrics at RCSI, a Respiratory Consultant in Children’s Health Ireland and lead researcher on the RECOVER study.
“Clinical trials occur under very controlled conditions and exclude many sick people with cystic fibrosis. ‘Real-world’ studies, such as RECOVER, are essential to confirm the trial findings and examine in-depth effects on the everyday lives all people with cystic fibrosis.”
In partnership with the Irish and UK cystic fibrosis registries, RECOVER is led by an Irish research team collaborating with researchers in 16 clinical and university sites in the UK, Europe and North America.
Philip Watt, CEO, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland commented: “Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is proud to support this major research study that will provide much new detailed data on the impact of new and innovative CF medications across Europe and North America.”
Dr Lucy Allen, Director of Research at the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, said: “The data from the clinical trials have shown us that Kaftrio will make a significant difference to people’s lives. However, as CF is a complex condition affecting many parts of the body it is important to understand the full impact of this drug. In the short term the results of the RECOVER study may speed up access to Kaftrio around the world, in the longer term it will provide information on tailoring care for each individual with cystic fibrosis”.
Led by RCSI, the collaborating institutions include, Imperial College, London; Children’s Health Ireland (at Crumlin, Tallaght, Temple Street and Connolly); National Children’s Research Centre; St Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin; University Hospital Limerick; Belfast City Hospital; Royal Belfast Hospital for Children; Royal Brompton Hospital, London; CF Registry of Ireland, Dublin; UK CF Registry; The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Toronto; Eramsus MC, University Medical Centre, Rotterdam; Brandenburg Medical School, Germany; Queen’s University Belfast; Teagasc Food Research Centre, Cork; Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto.

About Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited chronic disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system. A defective gene causes the body to produce unusually thick sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and obstructs the pancreas, stopping natural enzymes from enabling the body to break down and absorb food.
Ireland has the highest incidence of cystic fibrosis in the world, with almost 1,400 people diagnosed with the disease here. Ireland also has some of the more severe forms of the disease.
Approximately one in 19 are thought to carry one copy of the altered gene that causes CF.
People with CF experience a range of symptoms including frequent lung infections, persistent coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath, along with poor growth and weight gain in spite of a good appetite. Over time people with CF accumulate significant damage and scar tissue in their lungs which leads to end-stage lung disease requiring a double lung transplant if possible.
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Ireland Annual Report 2018, between 2010 and 2018, an average of 40 individuals were diagnosed with CF each year.
In 2018, there were 140 individuals with CF aged 40 years or older.
In 2018, the median age of a person with CF was 21 years. In other words, half of the 1,239 individuals registered were under 21 years of age, and the other half were aged 21 years or older. However, survivability for a growing number is now predicted into their 30s and 40s and beyond.
The counties with the largest numbers of people with CF are Dublin (327), Cork (167), Limerick (73), Tipperary (60) and Galway (59). In 2018, there was a total of 1,129 hospitalisations for 529 people with CF.
