Visitors After the Baby? 10 Tips for New Parents

Do you feel special when you're pregnant? Well, step aside, Lady, because a baby is here and people love babies.

The dilemma that comes with having this little rock star in your home now is that billions of people will want to come visit it. Some will be helpful, some will not.

So here are a few handy tips I've picked up along the way so you're able to show your magnificent little miracle off to the world like Simba in The Lion King.

Don't let anyone stay with you that you can't cry in front of or you can't tell to "shut up" There may be a few people that offer to stay with you when the baby comes. This can be a Godsend or a sh!tshow. Really think about that person and how much you want them to see behind the curtain. You may be too tired to delicately say, "I know she's not latching properly, but I'm just trying to get the hang of it," and instead say, "See off? You need to f#ck right to it!" Decide carefully about who you want to be around 24/7 when your inner filter isn't working at full capacity.

Spread out the visitors.

People love to see the baby immediately. That, or they feel obliged to see the baby immediately. Either way, try to spread them out as much as you can so you can get settled and enjoy everyone's company long after the fanfare typically dies down. Try not to book too far in advance either, you seriously may feel great the day after you give birth and feel like a back alley crack whore by week two.

Go to people that you think will overstay their welcome -- don't have them come to you Sometimes, this really isn't their fault. I was one of these people before I had kids because I had no idea how tiring a newborn can be. I would sit there gabbing on about some new bar I'd been to while staring into the vacant doll-like eyes of my best friend holding her newborn. I'm sure she wanted to tell me to shut my cake hole and get the hell out of her house, but just didn't have the energy.

These are the people you should meet for a coffee or go to their place.

First of all, newborns are very portable because they eat, sleep and poop and that's about it, so take advantage of this window when you can cart them anywhere and they don't care. Secondly, it's all on your terms when to pull the chute and you won't have to drop the little hints that go unnoticed. By the way, some of these single people, elderly uncles, etc. are fantastic to be around because they are often just as self-absorbed as a newborn and it's strangely refreshing to talk about something other than babies sometimes.

Put them to work Some people are just itching to help when you have a baby and you know what? Let them. These people are like damn border collies and if you don't give them a task, they get destructive and are liable to chew the leg off a chair or worse, start throwing stuff out. Let them do dishes, tidy up, clean the bathroom, take out the garbage, take your other kids to the park, whatever. Don't want them seeing your gross underwear? Throw it in your closet and let them deal with the rest of the pile.

Just leave *your* to-do list out and if they ask if they can help, just point them to it and tell them to help themselves if they feel like it. Not everyone is comfortable around babies but really want to help, so give them the satisfaction of doing something for you and just enjoy it and thank them profusely so they don't start installing a sprinkler system.

Tag team Remember the first point? That kind of applies to visitors as well. If they aren't the kind of person you can lose it in front of, then have a buffer person with you to entertain or deflect if you need to pull a batsmoke. Just have these people over when your partner, close relative or friend is around in case you need to excuse yourself for an hour to cry on the bed for no particular reason (I did this... twice).

Partner plays the bad cop If you think you're second string to the baby, just imagine how your partner feels. This is his chance to shine because I can gua-ran-tee you that there will be some tricky situations when visitors come; like the cousin that announces he's just getting over the flu in passing conversation while holding your 3-day-old infant. Or the great aunt that insists that the baby needs to be brought out in a snow storm to meet her bridge club. Or the nephew that drops by and could "really go for a sandwich." Dad (or partner, or sidekick), it is your job to step up and say, "Oh, hell no." You know why? Because everybody thinks a protective father is cute and everybody thinks a protective mother is nuts, so do everybody a favour and unhinge.

This is also a perfect opportunity for an Al Pacino impression.

Have them bring food As my friend's Jamaican grandmother used to say, "Don't come wid you two long han". Which loosely translated to don't show up empty-handed. Most visitors like to bring something whether it's a gift, flowers, etc., but food is always such a great thing to receive when you're tired and just learning the ropes with a baby and people are usually more than happy to help. (If you're dealing with people who think you should be honoured with their presence -- see point 3.) Have them pop it over or sit down and share it with them, either way, they get a baby fix and you get some lasagna. I say win-win.

Treat it like an Out-of-Office Reply* Sometimes people think it's nice to pop in to see how a new mother is doing if they haven't had an immediate response to a message they left an hour ago. This actually isn't too bad for the people you can tell to "shut up" because you can tell them if it isn't a good time and their feelings won't get hurt. For the rest of the population, it is not cool to arrive unannounced at a new parents front door because there is no telling what kind of Stephen King nightmare is going on that day.

To avoid these awkward moments, I like to treat it like a vacation notification. Change your voicemail and your email to let people know you're kind of off the grid. It may seem like a no-brainer to you, but some people feel the need to constantly "check in." Just have an auto-reply that says, "Thanks for your email (call). We're just getting the hang of parenthood so forgive us if it takes a little longer than usual to get back to you. Don't worry, we're just fine and loving every minute of it." I know this may be a little over the top and may feel like the equivalent of adding the dog's name to Christmas cards (I love that actually), but it's an easy way of letting them know they've been heard.

*Obviously, if you're alone and live in the woods in wolverine country, disregard this advice and be grateful someone is checking to make sure the cat isn't eating your corpse.

Pre-Prep Do you think Aunt Kelly is going to be a problem? Get your responses thought out NOW or start laying the groundwork NOW. If you think she's going to show up on your doorstep the day you give birth then start telling her the story of a co-worker's mother-in-law that showed up the day she gave birth and how awful it was and how you're so lucky that your family just gets that you need a couple of days to settle in. Get an email ready saying, "Aunt Kelly, we can't wait for you to see the new baby! I'm just getting the hang of it so can I give you a call when I come up for air so you can come over and meet her?" then hit *send* when she fires off the first email.

Go with the flow Does Aunt Kelly still show up? Does your Mother-in-Law that you've never met fly in from the Ukraine and set herself up on your couch? Does your sister drop in everyday to tell you about the disgusting brunch she had or everything about her wicked pilates instructor?

Roll with it and save your energy like a solar street light on a dimming switch. Ask Aunt Kelly to hold the baby while you go have a shower. Say "Diakuju" when your mother-in-law makes dinner, then go lie down with the baby. Tell your sister she needs a f#cking punch in the throat then apologize and blame it on your hormones while savoring the good vent.

The best thing you can do with visitors, a new baby, and I suppose life in general, is just roll with it.

Even though you are now regarded as the remaining husk that brought this precious, perfect gift into the world -- you will be asked how you feel as a courtesy but no one gives much of a sh!t how you are now, so try not to ramble -- it's still your show, honey. So remember, choose your visitors wisely and enjoy the little star that everyone wants to see shine.

What Do Solar Street Lamps Look Like?
What Do Solar Street Lamps Look Like?
For the evaluation of solar street lamps, it depends on whether the solar street lamp manufacturers strictly control the quality. Of course, we can also see the quality of solar street lamps from several aspects to see whether they meet the requirements we need. We can see from the number of days it resists cloudy and rainy days, the illuminance and service life of light sources, the service life of batteries and the technology of controllers, Judging from the overall system equipment, the solar street lamp is good or bad.The use of solar street lamps depends on the sun's light to provide energy. Therefore, in rainy days, it depends on whether the capacity of its solar battery can resist 3-5 rainy days. The amount of rain in many areas is not much. Solar street lamps that can resist 3-5 rainy days are very good. Of course, the service life of solar battery is also required to be better.In addition, its lighting brightness is bright enough to ensure people's safety and long service life. Don't turn off the light after using it for a period of time. What is more important is the use of solar controller, because it determines the number of days that solar street lamps resist rain, product stability and quality. Choosing a good solar street lamp saves the price of solar street lamps.
Solar Street Lamp Manufacturers Are Conducive to the Development Environment
Solar Street Lamp Manufacturers Are Conducive to the Development Environment
Solar street lamps can bring energy conservation and environmental protection, which is an advantage most valued by social development at present. Moreover, there is no mercury in the use of solar street lamps, which does no harm to human body. The brightness is also very suitable, making solar street lamps have a lot of room for development, At the same time, it also creates an extremely favorable development environment for solar street lamp manufacturers.With the extensive development of solar street lamps, people can see the profits that can be obtained. Therefore, solar street lamp manufacturers have a momentum of development, and the performance is quite rapid. After social development, road reform is very necessary. Moreover, it is necessary to promote energy conservation and environmental protection. Compared with alternative street lamps, solar street lamps occupy a great position.What's more, our country now needs to improve the gap between urban economy and rural construction, which is also to provide greater market development for the development of solar street lamps. Why don't solar street lamp manufacturers worry about development. All these reasons provide a very favorable development environment for solar street lamp manufacturers.
Development Direction of Solar Street Lamp Manufacturers
Development Direction of Solar Street Lamp Manufacturers
There are many solar street lamp manufacturers. In the face of fierce competition in the industry, solar street lamp manufacturers have to face some problems if they want to develop. If they want customers to find you or patronize you again, the premise is that you are a good manufacturer in all aspects, What kind of development direction should solar street lamp manufacturers have now?If the solar street lamp price has an impact on customers, it can only be that the solar street lamp manufacturer has not really succeeded. Because the price war is never an inevitable factor for the development of manufacturers. Today, you can give customers a very low price and reduce the street lamp price by reducing the Watts actually needed by customers. It may not be guaranteed that another manufacturer will use the same method to reduce the price and attract customers. You are lowering the price, and your opponent is also lowering the price. In this way, long-term development will only hurt both sides.Therefore, the price war is not the correct development direction of solar street lamp manufacturers. The correct direction should be to focus on product production, improve product quality and cost performance, and do a good job in after-sales service at the same time. It's like a 99 yuan smartphone and a Samsung phone with hundreds or even 3000 yuan. There is a big difference in price, but we still choose Samsung phone because of its high brand, good performance and cost performance in all aspects. Therefore, the development direction of solar street lamp manufacturers should not tangle in price, but do a good job in their products and improve their brand.
Industry: LED Industry Reshuffle Through Three Forces
Industry: LED Industry Reshuffle Through Three Forces
The collapse of small and micro led enterprises last year has opened the curtain of the reshuffle of China's LED industry. Since the beginning of this year, three major factors, such as the rising threshold of government procurement, the continuous tide of IPO listing and the introduction of industry standards, will accelerate the process of reshuffle in the LED industry.On March 20 this year, the "2012 financial subsidy promotion project for semiconductor lighting products" organized by the Ministry of finance, the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of science and technology held a domestic public bidding in Beijing, involving led downlights and reflective self ballasting LED lights for indoor lighting, LED street lights and led tunnel lights for outdoor lighting, Nearly 300 bidding representatives from 110 enterprises across the country participated in the bidding activities.The national development and Reform Commission made it clear that in 2012, the Chinese government will spend 40 billion yuan on the procurement of LED street lamps and provide 30% financial subsidies to LED street lamp users. Since March this year, all lighting projects and new planning areas invested by the provincial government have used LED electrodeless lamps in the field of public lighting, which is estimated to bring a market of hundreds of billions of yuan.Don't think that the government will "sprinkle pepper" again. An entrepreneur who participated in the bidding on March 20 revealed that the national bidding raised the threshold. For example, products should have energy-saving certification. The province also invited tenders for LED products entering the indoor lighting of public works this year. So far, downlights of 3 enterprises, spotlights of 3 enterprises, bulb lamps of 6 enterprises and fluorescent lamps of 22 enterprises have won the bid.Facing the industry pattern of "small and scattered", the government began to realize that it is necessary to support powerful enterprises to become bigger and stronger.More and more led enterprises are listed, which will become another important force for industry integration. After development in recent years, the total number of Listed Companies in the LED industry has been close to 40, and not a few are lining up for listing. It is expected to produce some industry leaders who can compete with international giants.According to the data of provincial Lighting Appliance Association, from 2010 to now, more than 100 LED projection lamp enterprises have completed the share reform, and the Pearl River delta accounts for 51.5%; The listed led enterprises account for about 61.5%, including Hongli optoelectronics, Zhouming technology, etc; There are also some ready to be listed, such as Shenzhen Jiawei Co., Ltd., which exports solar LED outdoor lights for 1 billion yuan a year, and will be listed soon.After the listing of led enterprises, it is not only conducive to establish their own good brand image in the chaotic market, but also can use capital means to acquire and merge, expand themselves and purify the market. Zhouming technology said that if it encounters a good project, it does not rule out the possibility of acquisition.The third force of integration comes from the continuous improvement of industry standards. The national standardization management committee recently held the first working meeting of the semiconductor lighting standard leading group, involving the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, the Ministry of Finance and other departments. This is the first time that the industry has uniformly planned and deployed the semiconductor lighting standardization work at the national level Light source and lamps, lighting application and energy efficiency.The Provincial Department of science and technology will also announce the progress in the formulation of semiconductor lighting standards this week. At present, 130 standard items have been listed, and led enterprises can participate in the revision of industry standards through bidding.It can be predicted that with the gradual improvement of industry standards, the LED metal halide lamp industry will bid farewell to the mixed situation. In the upcoming 12th Five Year Plan for semiconductor lighting, the state pointed out that by 2015, the scale of semiconductor lighting industry will reach 500 billion yuan, and cultivate 20 30 leading enterprises with independent brands and independent intellectual property rights, and 40 50 innovative high-tech enterprises
Can Solar Street Lamp Manufacturers Achieve Market Development at a Low Price?
Can Solar Street Lamp Manufacturers Achieve Market Development at a Low Price?
Many solar street lamp manufacturers try to obtain the market at a low price, and then do large-scale, so as to reduce the marginal cost and make money in the subsequent operation. However, the practice of solar street lamp manufacturers will lead to the greater the losses and the greater the accumulated risks. Finally, the funds will be cut off only because of logistics problems, the backlog of suppliers' payment will be sued by suppliers, resulting in bankruptcy.This mode of operation also shows that solar street lamp factories that only rely on low prices to obtain the market are not big or long-term. They should occupy the market at low prices. Only when they occupy the market can they do it and make money. This kind of thinking of solar street lamp manufacturers is really the idea and practice of many people in our solar industry.However, solar street lamp manufacturers want to occupy the market by improving the yield and making the concentration of the main color area stronger. This is what the current solar street lamp manufacturers need to optimize, and it is also the competitiveness of the subsequent concentration rising again. If these are achieved, then this wave of price rise shows that it is higher than the profits and sales of its peers.For more industry information or product prices, you can call toll free: 4000-760-286
I Would Like to Ask What Are the Ways to Improve the Brightness of Solar Street Lamps?
I Would Like to Ask What Are the Ways to Improve the Brightness of Solar Street Lamps?
I would like to ask what are the ways to improve the brightness of solar street lamps?1. Determine the brightness of LED solar street lamp before purchaseBefore purchasing solar street lamps, if it is a large number of recycling, the best thing is to choose manufacturers with industrial plants and drive to the processing plant to have a look. If you decide where to buy, you must talk to the other party about the regulations on chromaticity. If you don't have much definition of this chromaticity, you can let the other party make a sample to have a look.If the requirements for chromaticity are very high, the size of LED light source should be larger. Some manufacturers will choose the most suitable scheme for you out of your own consideration. If it is not particularly bright according to your specific situation, you can also listen to the manufacturer's suggestions.2. Lower the LED solar street lamp equipmentIf solar street lamps are to be installed on both sides of the road, we should fully consider whether there are green plants on both sides of the road. Because the solar street lamp is converted into electromagnetic energy by digesting and absorbing solar energy, if something blocks it, the actual effect is undoubtedly impossible to be very good. When such a situation does occur, why not reduce the height of the solar street lamp and not completely cover the solar panel.3. Query LED solar street lamps on timeMany solar street lamp projects are not easy to hold meetings after the equipment is good, which is naturally not very good. Although solar energy does not need maintenance or cleaning by full-time personnel, it must be queried on time. The damaged position should be repaired immediately. If the solar panel has not been removed for a long time, it also needs to be inadvertently scrubbed.

This Can Be Done When the Solar Street Lamp Cannot Work (I)
This Can Be Done When the Solar Street Lamp Cannot Work (I)
1 Power loss of solar street lamp: the power loss of solar battery is due to the quality problem of the battery itself. The cheapest one is 2-3 yuan 1Ah. Generally, this is not very reliable. Problems continue to occur after using it for about a year. Therefore, to solve this problem, replace the solar battery and replace it with a better manufacturer, If it is a northern city, it should also be noted that the battery must be buried below the frozen soil layer, especially in cold places. Thermal insulation cotton should be added to the battery, because the capacity of solar energy storage battery has a great relationship with the external ambient temperature.2 The LED light source of solar street lamp is not on: it may be the most direct way for the performance of solar street lamp. The solar street lamp system is abnormal, that is, it is not on. One of the reasons why the solar street lamp is not on may also be the problem of LED light source. As a general purchaser, it is difficult to distinguish high-power LED light source. If the solar street lamp is not on, You can simply check the light source by yourself. If the system is small and the system voltage of the light source is 12V or 24V, the conventional configuration is used. The best way to detect the light source is to connect the battery directly to the light source. If the light is on, it proves to be normal.For more questions, please click the right figure to consult online customer service.

The Switch of Solar Street Lamp Is Like This, You Know?
At any time, solar street lamps have broad market prospects. Solar energy with unlimited potential is a clean, efficient and sustainable renewable energy. At the same time, using solar street lamps is also a wise financial choice.Generally, the solar LED street lamps installed use the intelligent waterproof controller of light control and time control. With this equipment, after the solar street lamps are installed, we can manually control the switching time of the street lamps.The solar street lamp controller is the core equipment in the street lamp. It is connected with the solar panel, battery and lighting source. When the controller senses that the voltage of the solar panel decreases to the set position, it drives the lighting source of the solar street lamp to work. When the time we set (assuming 8 hours) arrives, it turns off the lighting source.The solar controller also has many functions. For example, it can prevent overcharge and discharge of the battery and avoid damage to the battery.According to different requirements, the controller can design the street lamp as light control or time control. Not only the charging and discharging time of the battery can be controlled, but also the discharge intensity can be controlled.For more questions, please click the right figure to consult online customer service.
