Firefighters, rescue personnel and police officers descended upon the scene of a mock fatal accident behind Granville High School as students stood by and watched. One of their classmates was taken away in an ambulance, another in a hearse.
It was part of a simulation accident the district holds on a yearly basis just before prom, in order to drive it home to the students to think before they drink and drive.
After firefighters used the Jaws of Life to remove the students from the cars, and police officer Paul Zinn gave field sobriety tests to the 'driver,' Granville Fire Chief Ryan Pedone and Ed Parsons, Washington county coroner talked about the scenario to the group.
"See that? That's a foot tag so we can identify the body," Parsons said, pointing at the victim. He then went on to describe in detail what an autopsy consists of, and reminded the students that blood tests would reveal to their parents and the public what they had been drinking or smoking if they were in an accident.
"Would you want to be the one to go tell this girl's parent's what happened?" After he was done speaking, employees from King's Funeral Home zipped the body in a bag and drove it away in a hearse.
Pedone asked the students if the split-second decision to get behind the wheel after drinking would be worth it. He also pointed out that the driver's life would forever be impacted as well.
"It's a good learning experience for the kids to see what does happen," Pedone said after the exercise. "Hopefully it'll help them in making decisions, especially this weekend." Additionally, he said the simulation is a win-win situation for rescue personnel, because they use it as a training drill in a controlled environment.
Pedone said Tyler Williams, a high school senior who is a firefighter and rescue squad member, put a lot of time into setting up this year's event.
Granville Engine and Hose, Granville Hook and Ladder, the Granville Rescue Squad, the Granville police department, Kings Funeral Home and the county coroner all participated in the drill, and Monroe's Auto Salvage donated the two cars that were used.

As of today, I've spent three years with my best friend. Last year, I wrote about everything that happens when you date someone for two years. I was pretty thorough, including things like:
Having outdoor adventures, sharing your favorite music, tv, and movies, stealing half of their closet, having an abundance of gifts from them, becoming best friends, becoming part of their family, dealing with life together, and choosing them every day.
I am so happy to say from firsthand experience that the same can be said for three years.
We have continued to have outdoor adventures; boating, swimming, camping, and hiking near waterfalls and along the Great Lakes.
We have continued to share our favorite music, tv, and movies; we're seeing Maren Morris and Sam Hunt in a month! He'll probably yell at me for sharing this, but I got him to watch "Gilmore Girls," my all-time favorite show, all the way through with me. We've also seen some pretty good movies in theaters this past year, like "Finding Dory" and "Beauty and the Beast."
I can still look around my room, be it my dorm or bedroom at home, and easily find traces of him. It goes beyond clothes; there are pictures and pieces of jewelry and little things like water bottles, calendars, and fuzzy socks.
Half of those things also serve as reminders of his welcoming family; I have a framed picture with his sister, and his mom is the one who picks out my purple fuzzy socks and yearly Taylor Swift calendars. I'm looking forward to my fourth summer of adventures and "making memories" with them.
The last few things, I feel, go without saying; obviously, we're continuing to deal with life together, choosing each other, and remaining best friends.
That's how I started this, and that's how I always refer to him; he is, first and foremost, my best friend. He is someone I seek to laugh with, to hug me tight when I am overcome with tears, even when he has to do it with words because he is too far away to physically hold me, and someone whose love and support I never have to question. I can be the worst version of myself, and have been, and know he won't leave. He'll give me space or let me know that I am crossing a line, and I appreciate it because I need it sometimes. I am impulsively honest, pushing the limits of truth and perspective, and he tells me when I go too far. Sometimes he tells me without words, because he is such a genuine person that his emotions don't hide well. He's much easier to read than I am, and I give him so much credit for decoding many of my silences and other passive-aggressive bad habits. He knows me better than I think he does, and I can tell because he constantly surprises me in the best ways possible. That is something he's been doing for three years, something I could never get tired of.
Last year, I said that being with someone for two years gives you a good idea of what love is. Once again, that is even truer now. The thing that has amazed me time and again over the last three years is how easy it is to fall in love with the same person again, when you're choosing to see them and accept them and return their kindness and care. It is not always easy or necessarily what you feel like doing; sometimes it is easy to be critical or to focus on other things. I feel incredibly lucky that I am in a relationship that communicates well – constantly and without screaming matches – and so, we keep each other on track. We remind each other why we chose the other in the first place, and we do our best to be a little bit better than we were three years ago.

Q. My home router's wireless signal is rather spotty. In some locations my
mobile devices lose their connections completely and I can't get online.
What can I do to fix this problem?
A. Wireless (also known as Wi-Fi) signal problems can be difficult to track
down and may require the help of a professional with specialized equipment.
But the good news is that you can do a large part of the initial detective
and correction work on your own at little or no cost. Android users should
first obtain a Wi-Fi analyzer app. Most of these apps will give you a visual
indication of Wi-Fi signal strength at any location. This information may
help you determine the extent and source of your problem. I use WiFi
Analyzer which is available here.
In general, these apps will show you the signal strength and security
restrictions of any Wi-Fi signal in the area. Find the network that's yours
and walk around your house checking the areas where you normally lose
connection to your router. It may be that there's just too much distance for
your signal to travel or there's some obstruction in the way (such as a big
refrigerator). There could even be something such as a microwave oven or
wireless telephone which operates on the same signal band as your Wi-Fi.
Possible easy fixes include repositioning the router, modifying its antenna
or changing channels of the router's signals. While this may sound extremely
technical, it really doesn't have to be. Googling the phrase: "troubleshoot
wifi network" will bring up a multitude of free fixes you should try before
calling a pro to deal with your situation. An example of some basic fixes can be found
Try all the free or low-cost fixes suggested by different websites before
asking for professional help. It's possible that you will need additional
equipment (such as a Wi-Fi repeater) to get your signal to a remote or
shielded area. You might even need a new router which will be able to
penetrate multiple walls easier. But just try the easy fixes first!

It's important to know homeowners insurance is meant to cover unexpected damage, not routine maintenance. Ask us to talk about what's covered. Most importantly, ask us to review your policy with you, so you understand and know exactly what's included and what isn't.
Here are few things to discuss with us that will influence your decisions.
Q: How much will it cost to rebuild my house and replace my belongings if they are damaged or destroyed?
A: Every homeowner will have unique answers to this, but we will talk to you about your home's features, as well as the things you own. We will then create a policy that fits your needs, as well as your budget.
Q: Does the insurance company have a good reputation for customer service? Is it known for paying claims fairly and promptly?
A: Our agents have been in the insurance industry, collectively over 60 years. We're familiar with which insurance companies treat their policy holders well, and have excellent customer service. We're also familiar with the companies paying claims fairly, and within a reasonable amount of time. We do our best to match our clients to the right insurance companies based on their needs, as well as their budget.
Q: What discounts are available?
A: We'll go over all the discounts available to New York Homeowners. A few discounts available are multiple policy, security system, and fire resistance discounts.
Q: What's the process for filing and settling a claim?
A: Tango Agents will discuss who do call if there's a need to file a claim, as well as what to expect after you file the claim.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Flood losses are not covered by your homeowners insurance policy. Visit our FLOOD INSURANCE page to learn more and request a quote!

Aside from leaving that ingratiating KT Tunstall song in my head, "The Devil Wears Prada" left little for me to chew on. Critics have lauded Meryl Streep for her performance, though I fail to see how simply being a heinous bitch is that difficult makes for that difficult of a role. I've lived and worked with people who did as good of a job, and no one nominated them for any award. Anne Hathaway, as I suspected, played a likable, plucky heroine, though I secretly wished her character's transformation from a drab nobody to a fashionista could have included some wardrobe selections from her "Brokeback Mountain" character. In all, decent but not especially memorable.
However, as I often do after I see a movie, read a book, hear a name, think a thought or eat a sandwich, I eventually crawled over to the related Wikipedia entry. This gave me something wonderful for my English major brain to work with. The two main characters in the book and the film, Andrea Sachs and Miranda Priestly, both seem to be non-Jewish Jews. No, not in the George Constanza way, in which he and his family exhibit all the traits of a stereotypical Jew save for the fact that they are actually Italian Catholic. In a backstory thing that is apparently explained more in the novel The Devil Wears Prada, Andrea comes from a Jewish family. Her surname, after all, is "Sachs." Her family, however, does not apparently practice any Jewish traditions. Furthermore, one of the story elements dropped in the film version of the story indicated that Miranda Priestly was raised Jewish, with the last name "Princhek," but revised her personal history to fit in better with the WASPy types she'd be working alongside in the fashion industry. Most notably, her chosen surname is "Priestly," which has more Christian meaning than I initially thought about.
The Wikipedia article further states that, at one point in the novel, Andrea evokes her Jewish identity by considering walking backwards from Wintour's office in the manner that faithful Jews apparently move away from the Wailing Wall. Perhaps most provocatively, the article notes that the character who romances Andrea and threatens to lead her permanently into the world of high fashion — and thus, away from her roots — is named "Christian."
In the end, all this religious-themed speculation into the novel and the film yields a different reading of their shared title. Upon casual reading, "The Devil Wears Prada" — or, to be nitpicky, The Devil Wears Prada as well — seems to name a devil in the casual since, as in "Oh, you devil!" or something benign like that. The devil in question initially appears to be one that is only capitalized by virtue of being in a title. However, these Judeo-Christian elements combine to provide an alternate reading that may indicate the other kind: the devil with a capital "D."
This, to me, is very interesting, since I nearly dismissed this film as fluff. That's not to say that it isn't fluff, really, but it at least has a cleverly embedded theme that I did not pick up on my own. A little subversive, too. Does "The Devil Wears Prada" suggest a correlation between Christianity and commercialism? Or is it simply that becoming accepted by elite society forces you to abandon any non-mainstream qualities?
It's something, anyway.

So you are thinking about getting out of community service ordered by the court? Well, you do not have many options, but there have been cases and there's always an exception to the rule.
Are You In a COMA?
In one area an individual was in a terrible accident and was in a coma for three weeks. Through the help of his lawyer and much documentation by the hospital he was spared from doing community service because the judge accepted the doctors estimate on the time that it would take for that individual to recover from the accident; which happen to be two years of rehabilitation. In other words unless you had become physically unable to perform the service and have proof three times over you will be required to perform the community service. At some times even with becoming physically unable the courts have still been able to require the individual to perform duties that they are able to do and were made to do so.
Get Serving or Get Jailed
Getting out of community service ordered by the court is wishful thinking, you cannot more than often it's just a waste of time to try. Yet if you really want to you can write your governor and ask for pardon if you think it will work. This is not to say that you cannot try; this is America and you have a few options to plead your case but you have to do so in front of the judge and because it is not a trial your lawyer cannot speak for you. The burden falls on your shoulders and if you were to ask a lawyer most would inform you that an attempts to get out of community service ordered by the court can and will possibly get you jailed or more service hours mandated.
�Don't Even Think of Outsmarting the Judge
If you believe that you can get out of community service by outsmarting the judge you are mistaken. Don't leave the court thinking that you can come back with reasons why you couldn't do it. You having to work or being sick is no excuse, it hardly ever works and the judges were all types of excuses. If for any reason it is legitimate that you believe you cannot perform the court order community service is imperative that you contact your probation officer to inform them. They will inform you at that point if you have any grounds to stand on and what to do.
If of course you do not have a good relationship with your probation officer and you inform them that you will not or cannot do your community service they may say that is your choice. It is not your choice is up to the judge. Your probation officers job to watch you and make sure that you do not break the law anymore and you follow the orders of the court, giving the excuse that my probation officer did not inform me is a losing battle. It is your responsibility to follow the court order, is your probation officers responsibility to report to the court if you are not following the court order or have broken the law again in any way or form.
�You'd Be Lucky to Get Your Hours Reduced
In an attempt to get out of community service ordered by the court in having a proven legitimate reason if you are lucky you may get your hours reduced or get additional time to do your hours but this is a rarity. To do so you must inform your probation officer for you to speak in front of the judge. At that point a date will be set up the court system for you to speak to the judge to state their constraints that are documented by others with the qualifications to give their opinion on the constraints. Your case must be presented in a way without attitude that comes across as genuine and is based on facts and reality. Excuses not based on facts and reality may come across as disrespectful and should be avoided completely. If facts are found to be false it is considered to be misleading to the courts and considered a probation violation that will result in more fines and penalties including more service hours.
�Save Yourself the Trouble, and Just Do It!
An attempt of getting out of community service hours that is not a legitimate excuse is not a smart plan to undertake. Do not attempt to outsmart the courts they have heard every excuse and have seen many attempts by others that have failed. Community service is not hard to do; it is just putting in your time and effort. It is far better to do community service than it is to put your time in behind bars.

We all know Tony MacAlpine can play – a careers' worth of flawlessly dazzling performances has seen to that, whether solo, with Planet X, Steve Vai, CAB, and PSMS with Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan and Derek Sherinian. But what makes Concrete Gardens stand so uniquely among MacAlpine's catalog is that he's managed to create an album that he flits in and out of modern progressive metal styles (yes, there's even a certain djentiness to some of the tracks) without sounding like he's trying to mimic the current crop of acts like Periphery and Scale The Summit, while also infusing his compositions with enough melody and song craft to keep non-guitar players happy.
MacAlpine's compositions have that same ever-evolving, compositionally vibrant feel that Steve Vai exploited so well on Passion & Warfare: if you're like me and you sometimes get 'guitar album fatigue' from one too many solos over one too many static backing tracks you'll be endlessly entertained by the little orchestrational flourishes scattered throughout tracks like "Exhibitionist Blvd.," "Poison Cookies" and "Confessions Of A Medieval Monument." MacApline understands that instrumental albums become compelling when there's a fine balance of power and restraint, speed and melody.
By the time you get to the title track you've been taken on a ride through all sorts of varied musical terrain, with the one constant being MacApline's fearless and flawless compositional spirit. Album closer "Maiden's Wish" is a curious choice, wrapping up the collection with a spirited piano piece rather than an electric guitar onslaught like the rest of the album. But as jarring as it might seem on first listen, it more than fits in as an example of virtuoso musicianship in an eclectic set.

Placenta Encapsulation
Ingesting the placenta has numerous benefit. and can he done in different ways. Encapsulation enables you to enjoy those benefits for a long time. Even though the process of encapusaltion does deter some of the nutrients, you have the advantage of having easy pill of important minerals and vitamins and you can even take them with you. Each placenta's hormonal and mineral make up is completely unique to the mother and cannot compare with any supplement or pill. Some of the benefits when taking encapsulated placenta are:
- Increases energy
- Helps return uterus to normal size
- Increases mental clarity
- Stabilizes hormones
- May help prevent PPD
- Increases breastmilk supply
- Helps milk supply come sooner
- Reduces postpartum bleeding duration
- Better sleep aid
The standard dosage of pills is one or two capsules, three times daily the first 2 weeks postpartum, then decrease to one or two pills per day, as needed. This is for the raw foods method, capsules should not be ingested in the evening, it they could keep you from sleeping. With this method, you'll take one capsule in the morning if you wake up feeling low enemy or blue, one more can be taken a few hours later if necessary.(2)
Encapsulation is not an exclusive method. The mother can still choose to first ingest a small piece raw (possibly in a Smoothie or a small piece under the tongue immediately after birth), reserve a part for a tincture – which can be saved for a longer an/or freeze small parts to add to Smoothics or other preparations over the days after birth would to be swallowed as is (since they are frozen, there is no smell or taste and you nearly have all the benefits of fresh placenta).

Our lips are important and we should treat them with such respect. Our lips are responsible for framing our smiles, and for some people it can be their most coveted feature on their face. As beloved as our lips are whether it be by us ourselves, admires, or significant others sometimes we forget to care about our lips thinking Chap Stick or lip-gloss will solve our lip problems. But sometimes that's just not going to cut it. Dealing with chapped, sun damaged, peeling, and dry lips can be torture. Over the years we have seen the beauty and cosmetic industry care more for our lips with products such as sugar based lip scrubs, lip stick bases, lip plumpers, and now we have lip masks.
Hearing the phrase lip mask can cause a double take, but a lip mask is packaged the same manner a facemask is packaged. Per usual, I found two lip masks at Sephora. There is a Shea lip mask for protecting and repairing. According to the packaging the mask is enriched with shea butter, protects the lips from everyday aggressions, and soothes every sensation of dryness. The other lip mask I picked up is the Rose lip mask for moisturizing and softening. The packaging notes the mask has natural rose extract, it immediately moisturizes lips, soften and soothes lips. Both masks are priced at three dollars a mask (A steal!).
I opted to use the Shea lip mask. The mask is oversaturated in product and is pretty easy to put on. There was no weird smells and most of all the lip mask seems to fit all lip sizes. It is instructed to keep the masks on for 15 minutes and as I patiently waited I noticed there was no tingling feeling on my lips, which is sometime expected from lip products. Once the 15 minutes were up I slowly peeled off the mask and rubbed in the excess product into my lips. My lips felt naturally soft and had a healthy amount of moisture to them. Using a lip mask may no be super important on your beauty routine but if you want soft healthy moisturized lips don't be hesitant to adding it to your beauty routine.What other lip masks are you using? How else are you caring for your lips?

I can walk...!
I walked not only to the bus stop this morning but then on the way home I walked from where my first bus drops me off to our house. On the flats I felt okay but the last three blocks are down a steep hill and that smarts.
Today it felt like the biggest limiting issue was the blisters on my feet. Not sure why I get these on long runs but if that can be solved I will be able to finish these races stronger and not hold back so much.
I had to wear my Crocs today because my feet are still too swollen to fit into anything else. They make me feel like I'm in a nursing home. That said it felt great to get out and walk.

Falcon Heavy
Falcon Heavy is the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Falcon Heavy draws upon the proven heritage and reliability of Falcon 9.
Its first stage is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit. Falcon Heavy was designed from the outset to carry humans into space and restores the possibility of flying missions with crew to the Moon or Mars.
Falcon Heavy missions will deliver large payloads to orbit inside a composite fairing, but the rocket can also carry the Dragon spacecraft.
Composite Fairing
The composite payload fairing protects satellites during delivery to destinations in low Earth orbit (LEO), geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) and beyond.

Second Stage
Falcon Heavy draws upon Falcon 9's proven design, which minimizes stage separation events and maximizes reliability. The second-stage Merlin engine, identical to its counterpart on Falcon 9, delivers the rocket's payload to orbit after the main engines cut off and the first-stage cores separate. The engine can be restarted multiple times to place payloads into a variety of orbits including low Earth, geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) and geosynchronous orbit (GSO).

Falcon 9's second stage is powered by a single Merlin vacuum engine nearly identical to the first-stage engines, but modified to operate in the vacuum of space. Like the main Merlin engines, the vacuum engine is designed and manufactured in-house by SpaceX. The engine is designed to burn for about six minutes, and can be shut down and restarted multiple times as needed to deliver different payloads into different orbits. The engine is housed inside the rocket's interstage.
First Stage
Three cores make up the first stage of Falcon Heavy. The side cores, or boosters, are connected at the base and at the top of the center core's liquid oxygen tank. The three cores, with a total of 27 Merlin engines, generate 22,819 kilonewtons (5.13 million pounds) of thrust at liftoff. Shortly after liftoff the center core engines are throttled down. After the side cores separate, the center core engines throttle back up to full thrust.

- Thrust At Sea Level
- 22,819kN5,130,000 lbf
- Thrust In Vacuum
- 24,681kN5,548,500 lbf
Each of Falcon Heavy's side cores, or boosters, is equivalent to the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket with nine Merlin engines. At liftoff, the boosters and the center core all operate at full thrust. Shortly after liftoff, the center core engines are throttled down. After the side cores separate, the center core engines throttle back up.
Three Nine-Engine Cores
Inside each of Falcon Heavy's three cores is a cluster of nine Merlin engines. These same engines power Falcon 9, enabling efficiencies that make Falcon Heavy the most cost-effective heavy-lift launch vehicle in the world. With a total of 27 first-stage engines, Falcon Heavy has engine-out capability that no other launch vehicle can match—under most payload scenarios, it can sustain more than one unplanned engine shutdown at any point in flight and still successfully complete its mission.

What is deep water running?
Oh, it's only the best-kept secret in all of New York City! It's a most unique and effective venue for cross-training and rehabilitation for runners, or anyone looking for a zero impact, high-intensity workout. In this workout, we simulate land running, minus the impact. You will move your arms and legs as though you're running on land; the water and proper technique add another layer of challenge to the workout.
Cross train
R.J. Valentin's Deep Water Running provides a unique cross-training venue
Enhance your performance
The water has certain properties which lend itself to non-weight bearing resistance training. The most obvious is its buoyant effect. You can run in the water without any pounding on your feet or joints. Secondly, the water is viscous or thicker than air. As you move your arms and legs through the water you encounter a tremendous resistance. This resistance can be used to repair and strengthen muscles and joints.

This here is a little story about a boy and his cow.
They may not have won a ribbon at the Iowa State Fair, but Mitchell Miner and his heifer Audri won the internet after a photo of them taking a nap together went viral.
"She likes to lay down quite a bit," Miner told the Des Moines Register on Monday. "I don't really understand the bond with my animal either. She just enjoys my company."
Miner, 15, of Williamsburg, Iowa and Audri entered the Iowa State Fair's youth dairy cattle show. They prepared for weeks with Miner leading, clipping, walking and bathing Audri nonstop up to the competition. On the day of the show, Miner woke up at 3 a.m. his third straight early-morning rise putting the final touches on Audri.
The heifer ended up placing fifth out of seven contestants, but after hard-fought competition, the two took a nap together. Miners father, Jeremey snapped a few photos of the two and posted them on Facebook the next day.
By early afternoon, the photo racked up over 15,000 interactions and nearly 800 shares.
"I was asleep. I think she was, too," Mitchell said to the Register.
Miner's mother, Laura, told the newspaper that she believes people are usually won over when they see a bond between a kid and their animal.
"I think it's just when you spend that much time with them, they get really comfortable with you," she said.
Laura Miner added that the family borrows most of these animals for the summer. Audri will be heading back to a dairy farm in Blairstown later this fall after the family's final showing in September.

Philippines Gov't Launches Portal To Transparently Handle Foreign Aid
BY Jessica McKenzie | Monday, November 25 2013
Foreign funds are flooding into the Philippines in the wake of Super-typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Yolanda. Three days ago the World Bank increased its aid package to nearly US$1 billion. The Asian Development Bank will provide up to US$523 million in assistance. To ensure the funds are used in a responsible manner, the Philippines Department of Budget and Management launched the Foreign Aid Transparency Hub, or FAiTH.Read More

Digital Humanitarian Response to Super-Typhoon Haiyan
BY Jessica McKenzie | Monday, November 11 2013
A devastating super-typhoon with gusts of 200-m.p.h. winds ravaged huge swaths of the Philippines this weekend. Super-typhoon Haiyan (known as Yolanda in the Philippines) is reported to be the strongest recorded storm to ever make landfall. Although the official death toll is now at 1,774, thousands are still missing and a Filipino Presidential spokesman has said they are praying it does not rise about 10,000. Humanitarian organizations have already begun the daunting task of bringing relief to the nearly 10 million people affected by the super storm. In addition to the emergency aid and military personnel flooding into the country, a team of digital humanitarians are also on the job. Patrick Meier reports on his blog iRevolution that for the first time humanitarian response to Typhoon Haiyan makes full use of both human computing and machine computing to understand the big data in the aftermath of disaster.Read More

Roadtrips are fun anytime of the year. They get you out of the house and can be a great opportunity to catch up with your travel companions, even if you normally live with them. Meanwhile, you get to play your favorite travel games, indulge in less than nutritious travel snacks and visit friends or family. Unfortunately, driving for extended periods of time can also be quite dangerous, and nearly 50,000 people die each year in car accidents in the USA alone[839]. If you're planning a road trip sometime soon, be sure to follow this essential driving safety trips to ensure you have an enjoyable journey.
Drowsy Driving is Like Drunk Driving
Many drivers don't like to admit this, but most seasoned motorists know it's true: if you're even drowsy behind the wheel you are dozens of times more likely to make a crucial error that could lead to a dangerous accident.
Studies have shown that sleepy drivers can enter brief periods of "microsleep" during which the brain shuts off and cannot receive new data or react to developing road situations. Worst of all, microsleep occurs so quickly that the driver doesn't even realize they are losing consciousness, making the situation all the more perilous.
If you are feeling sleepy, it's always better to pull off the road to a safe place like a rest stop or scenic overlook to take a nap in the car. Don't risk it, even for a few miles. All it takes is one little slip.
It's still possible to make it to your destination in great time so long as you plan ahead, take the appropriate maps or use a voice-guided GPS device to simplify navigation, and build in some buffer time for unexpected slow-downs like congested throughways and unforeseen inclement weather.
Clear the Cabin
This is often overlooked but nevertheless important. Before a long road trip it's a good idea to check underneath the driver's seat and around the gas and brake pedals to ensure there are no errant CD's, soda cans, or giant dust bunnies that could somehow impede the free operation of the controls. Getting a piece of junk stuck under your accelerator pedal is the last thing you want to do on a busy freeway. If it's been a while since you've done a good general clean out of the front seats, it's best done before you hit the road.
Two Sets of Eyes Are Better Than One
A travel companion can do far more for you than help you power through the final verses of "Ninety-Nine bottles of Beer on the Wall". They can spot things you might have missed, like the careless driver that just drifted into your blindspot. Additionally, they can keep an eye on you and monitor your fatigue levels as your journey progresses. Best of all, they can take over for you when you finally get too tired and need to doze off in the passenger's seat. Whenever possible, try to bring a buddy on long road trips.
Check Your Signals
Before pulling out of your home driveway for the long haul, make sure your basic signals are all functioning properly, including both turn indicators and your headlights. Also ensure that your hazard lights are working correctly before you head off. The last time you want to find out they're not working is when you finally need them for once.
Essential Top Offs and Double-Checks
It's always advisable to stop off at a local gas station for a quick pit-stop before you start the road trip in earnest. Safe driving starts with ensuring your vehicle is in good condition and that all replaceable fluids and resources have been checked and topped-off.
Don't skimp on this step or try to save time or money by ignoring low resources. Even re-filled windsheild wiper fluid can mean the difference between being able to quickly clear a dangerous obstruction from your windshield or being stuck behind an unexpected and blinding band of grime, oil or gunk from another driver's unsecured load.
Check your motor oil levels and your tire pressure along with the functionality of all your lights, both interior and exterior. Ensure that your high beams are working correctly and that none of your car's fuses need to be replaced. Finally, clean the front and rear windshields and check to make sure that you have good visibility through all the windows in the car - even the rear seat's windows are important for double-checking blindspots prior to a merge or lane change.
It Should Go Without Saying...
But accidents prove everyday that it needs to be said again. Driving while intoxicated is the best way to endanger your own life, the lives of your passengers, and the lives of all the innocent strangers in the vicinity of your car. It's never worth the risk to drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This inlcudes driving while heavily medicated or while taking a new prescription medication that is unfamiliar to your system. Pharmaceutical drugs have laundry lists of side effects and many commonly prescribed medications have psychoactive effects, which means they can impair your ability to make split-second decisions and react defensively to rapidly changing road conditions.
Distracted Driving is like Drunk Driving, Too.
Practicing safe driving involves keeping your full and uninterrupted attention on the road the entire time your vehicle is in motion. At the speeds we commonly travel in cars and on side streets or major highways, it only takes a second or two for a relatively safe driving situation to turn seriously dangerous. If you happen to take your eyes off the road for a moment to check your e-mail or toy with your cellphone, and it happens to be the same moment that another drive cuts in front of you or an animal, child or piece of debris happens to stray into your path, you will probably have a nasty accident.
Hands-free phone solutions can seriously reduce the risk of accidents while traveling with digital devices, but they cannot remove it entirely. In fact, many safe driving experts point to research that has demonstrated a driver using hands-free technology to have a phone conversation is just as distracted as a driver using one hand to dial and place calls. The fact of the matter is that the human brain can only keep effective levels of attention on so many tasks at once. Adding a smartphone to the mix while you are driving is asking for trouble. This is yet another good reason you should always make long road trips with a travel buddy. When your phone rings you can pass it off to them, or have them place your necessary calls for you.

The end is near for dark stretches along a major thoroughfare in Uptown.
Carol Cocke and her dog Iris are looking forward to a brighter view along Carrollton Avenue.
The city plans to repair all street lights.
"I think that would be wonderful," Cocke said. "It'll help everybody out."
"You know, adding lights to people are a little bit more visible is certainly not a bad thing," neighbor Debbie Huntsman said.
For years, faulty or burned out street lights have been an issue.
Dark stretches along Carrollton created unsafe conditions.
"It was very dark, especially like in the neighborhoods," Tulane student Sadie Kanner said.
Sadie Kanner and her classmates remember when the lights were out.
"I was just like always nervous walking even in a group of people," Kanner said. "You just can't see what's in front of you; especially because the sidewalks here aren't really in the best of condition."
In preparation for the Super Bowl, the Department of Public Works installed temporary lights.
But neighbors complained even those were dim.
Now New Orleans City Councilwoman Susan Guidry has announced a more permanent fix.
Repairs will be made to approximately 105 lights along Carrollton Ave., between St. Charles and I-10.
In some cases work to the electrical infrastructure will be so extensive, that street car service will be temporarily suspended.
"What pleases me and I think should please the neighborhoods is that temporary lighting is up and it's going to remain up until the permanent lights are on," Guidry said.
Kanner says it's welcomed news.
"I'm always conscious when I'm walking around and really conscious of what's going on around me, but I think I would definitely be a lot more confident if I could see more of what's going on," said Kanner.
Guidry says repair work will begin in the next several days and will take 60 to 90 days to complete.
Meanwhile, street light repairs continue city-wide.

The bones of the forearm are the radius and the ulna. The radius is the larger of the two bones. The end toward the wrist is called the distal end. A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the radius near the wrist breaks.
Distal radius fractures are very common. The radius is the most commonly broken bone in the arm. Fracture usually occurs after a fall on an outstretched hand. It can also happen in a car accident, a bike accident, a skiing accident, and similar situations.
Sometimes, the ulna is also broken. When this happens, there is an associated distal ulna fracture.
A broken wrist usually causes immediate pain, tenderness, bruising, and swelling. Frequently, the wrist hangs in an odd or bent way (deformity).
Diagnosis is confirmed by X-ray of the wrist. This is important to understand the extent of the injury. Although the fracture almost always occurs about 1 inch from the end of the bone, there are a number of sub-classifications which are important to differentiate.
A fracture that extends into the joint, is called an intra-articular fracture. A fracture that does not extend into the joint is called an extra-articular fracture. When a fractured bone breaks the skin, it is called an open fracture and when a bone is broken into more than two pieces, it is called a comminuted fracture.
It is important to classify the type of fracture, because some fractures are more difficult to treat than others. Intra-articular fractures (fractures within the joints), open fractures (fractures that break through the skin), and comminuted fractures (fracture that shatter the bone into a lot of small pieces) are more difficult to treat than a simple closed fracture.
Risk Factors
Osteoporosis (decreased density of the bones) can make a relatively minor fall result in a broken wrist. Many distal radius fractures in people older than 60 years of age are caused by a fall from a standing position. Good bone health is important for prevention and wrist guards may have a place in helping prevent some fractures (but not all). Screening for osteoporosis after a wrist fracture should be discussed. In contrast, healthy bones can break if the force of the trauma is severe enough.
Nonsurgical Treatment
Treatment depends on many factors, such as the nature of the fracture, age and activity level of the patient, and the surgeon's preferences.
If the broken bone is in a good position, a plaster cast may be applied until the bone heals. If the position (alignment) of the bones is not good and likely to limit the future use of the arm, it is necessary to correct the deformity. This realignment procedure is called a reduction. This can sometimes be done without an operation (closed reduction) and sometimes requires an operation (open reduction) (see below).
After the bone is properly aligned, a splint or cast may be placed on your arm. A splint is usually used for the first few days, to allow for a small amount of normal swelling. A cast is usually added a few days to a week or so later, after the swelling goes down. The cast is changed again after two or three weeks as the swelling goes down more and the cast begins to loosen.
Further X-rays may be required particularly if the fracture required reduction or was thought to be unstable. The need for further xrays will be determined by the surgeon.
In general, the cast is removed approximately six weeks after the injury. At this point, physiotherapy will help improve the motion and function of the injured wrist.
Surgical Treatment
Open reduction of the fracture may use a variety of implements for holding the bone in the correct position, including metal pins (usually stainless steel or titanium), a plate and screws, an external fixator (a device for which most of the hardware remains outside of the body), or any combination of these techniques.
Regardless of the treatment required, most fractures hurt moderately for a few days to a couple of weeks. Many patients find that using ice, elevation (holding their arm up above their heart), and simple, non-prescription medications for pain relief (such as paracetamol and ibuprofen) are all that are needed.
Casts and splints must be kept dry. A plastic bag over the arm while showering should help. If the cast does become wet, it will not dry very easily. A hair dryer on the cool setting may be helpful.
Surgical incisions must be kept clean and dry for five days or until the sutures (stitches) are removed, whichever occurs later.
Most patients will be able to resume light activities, such as swimming or exercising the lower body in the gym, within a month or two after the cast is taken off or after within a month or two after surgery. Most patients can resume vigorous physical activities, such as skiing or football, between three and six months after the injury. Almost all patients will have some stiffness in the wrist, which will generally lessen in the month or two after the cast is taken off or after surgery. Improvement will continue for at least two years. Most patients do return to all their former activities.
Recovery can take at least one year. Some pain with vigorous activities may be expected for this length of time. Some residual stiffness or ache is to be expected for two years or possibly permanently, especially for high-energy injuries (such as motorcycle crashes, etc), in patients older than 50 years of age, or in patients who have some osteoarthritis. However, the stiffness is usually minor and may not affect the overall function of the arm.

The Advanced Guide To CONTENT WRITING | Bangla SEO Tutorial Part 5 | #CONTENT_WRITING
Why Technical SEO Is The Only Skill You Really Need
Shayaike Salvy
What is Technical SEO?
It covers following search engine requirements in order to improve crawling. These requirements are constantly changing and becoming more complex in order to keep up with the search engines.
Technical SEO elements
-Page Speed optimization,
-SEO Friendly Content Writing,
-Page Speed Analysis,
-Mobile Friendly Checking,
-Schema.org Markup
-NoFollow and DoFollow,
-Reputation Building,
-Competitor Site Analysis.
Page Speed optimization
Page speed is often confused with "site speed," which is actually the page speed for a sample of page views on a site. Page speed can be described in either "page load time" (the time it takes to fully display the content on a specific page)
SEO Friendly Content Writing
SEO content is any content created with the goal of attracting search engine traffic.
Page Speed Analysis
how well your site loads and provides actionable recommendations on how to optimize it.
Page Speed Analysis
-Enable compression
-Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML
-Reduce redirects
-Remove render-blocking JavaScript
-Leverage browser caching
-Improve server response time
-Use a content distribution network
-Optimize images
Mobile Friendly Checking
Test how easily a visitor can use your page on a mobile device.
Robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct web robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl pages on their website. The robots.txt file is part of the robots exclusion protocol (REP), a group of web standards that regulate how robots crawl the web, access and index content, and serve that content up to users.
Schema.org Markup
Schema.org (often called Schema) is a semantic vocabulary of tags (or microdata) that you can add to your HTML to improve the way search engines read and represent your page in SERPs.
A canonical tag (rel canonical) is a way of telling search engines that a specific URL represents the master copy of a page. Using the canonical tag prevents problems caused by identical or "duplicate" content appearing on multiple URLs. Practically speaking, the canonical tag tells search engines which version of a URL you want to appear in search results.
NoFollow and DoFollow
Nofollow links attributes do not allow search engine bots to follow the link.
Dofollow links allow all search engines to follow them and reach our website.
Reputation Building
A better reputation tends to result in more opportunity. Better PR, positive online content, and glowing earned reviews result in a line of defence against negative content.
Competitor Site Analysis
Competitor analysis in marketing and strategic management is an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current and potential competitors. This analysis provides both an offensive and defensive strategic context to identify opportunities and threats.

The First State Diversified Growth Fund (DGF) returned 5.6% during the quarter, as financial markets found renewed optimism towards growth assets. The equity rally can largely be attributed to the dovish nature of the US Federal Reserve, in conjunction with other central banks.
The Fund aims to protect against UK inflation and provide capital growth by achieving a positive return (gross of fees and charges) of 4% in excess of UK RPI over rolling five-year periods.
The First State Diversified Growth Fund (DGF) returned 5.6%1 during the quarter, as financial markets found renewed optimism towards growth assets. The equity rally can largely be attributed to the dovish nature of the US Federal Reserve, in conjunction with other central banks. The Neutral Asset Allocation ('NAA') provided strong performance contribution through equities, while the Dynamic Asset Allocation ('DAA') provided a small positive contribution. The UK Retail Price Index (RPI) fell by 0.4% over the same period.
The Fund has delivered 2.6% p.a. (net of fees and taxes) since the inception in June 2015, 0.3% p.a. above UK RPI, with a monthly volatility of 6.2%. For reference, over the same period the FTSE 100 delivered 5.8% p.a with a volatility of 10.5%.

Performance overview

These figures refer to the past. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. For investors based in countries with currencies other than the share class currency, the return may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations.
Performance figures have been calculated since the launch date. Performance data is calculated on a net basis by deducting fees incurred at fund level (e.g. the management and administration fee) and other costs charged to the fund (e.g. transaction and custody costs), save that it does not take account of initial charges or switching fees (if any). Income reinvested is included on a net of tax basis. Source: Lipper IM / First State Investments (UK) Limited.
Investment process
The investment process comprises two building blocks. The first, which we call Neutral Asset Allocation (NAA), sets longer-term, beta allocations on a long-only basis. The second part, which we call Dynamic Asset Allocation (DAA), allows us to exploit shorter-term alpha opportunities through proprietary strategies that aim to be uncorrelated to broader markets. Further, DAA strategies aim to help manage risk through protection strategies. We review the DAA on a weekly basis.
For a comprehensive description of the investment process, click here.
Market review
Financial markets dispelled concerns regarding slowing global growth and global trade disputes seen in Q4-18 as lower-for-longer interest rates in the US buoyed growth assets.
Developed and emerging market equities provided double digit returns, or close to, while global bonds were broadly flat and commodity indices fell. This is the strongest equity market start to a year in over twenty years.
Portfolio performance and attribution
The NAA drove performance, as shown in Figure 1, in Q1-19. This was primarily a result of equity exposures, whilst exposure to both government bonds and high yield credit provided a small contribution. DAA positions provided a slight positive return.

Source: First State Investments as of 31 March 2019. Month end data since inception.
Figure 2 provides a decomposition of ex-ante risk, as well as return contribution for the quarter and the last year. UK and Global (ex-UK) equities added 4.6% over the quarter, while exposure to government and corporate credit added to returns as yields moved lower.
Currency hedging of the US and European equity holdings helped offset the impact of a rising Sterling over the quarter.
Within the DAA positioning, equities detracted 1.8%, while bond and currency exposures offset the impact, providing a return of 1.7% and 0.4%, respectively.
Figure 2: DGF return contribution
Source: First State Investments. Gross performance contribution might differ from official performance, due to data source, pricing, and timing.
Key drivers of performance over the period:
• NAA positions added 5.8%, primarily driven by returns from US and UK equities.
– UK equities added 1.3% while global equities added 3.3%.
– Developed market government bonds and cash contributed 0.1%.
– Corporate bonds added 0.4%.
• DAA positions added 0.1%, with gains within bonds and currencies offsetting equity positioning.
– Positions informed by our equity signals detracted 1.8%. This was due to the preference to reduce exposure in favour of other asset classes in a rising market.
– Bond positioning added 1.7%; the bulk of performance came from emerging markets. Long positions in Mexico, India and South Africa were the largest contributors. Short duration positions in Hungary and Korea were small detractors.
– Currency positions added 0.4% to performance. This was due to a long position in JPY and short EUR position.
– We saw a modest loss from protection strategies. This position relates to ongoing Brexit-related uncertainty and is an insurance policy we will likely hold until we have more clarity.
Portfolio positioning
Neutral Asset Allocation ('NAA') positioning
There were no changes to the NAA during the quarter. The next NAA review will be conducted in May 2019.
Figure 3: DGF Neutral Asset Allocation
Source: First State Investments
Dynamic Asset Allocation ('DAA') positioning
We began the quarter with a preference to reduce equity exposure in the short-term. This provided a reduction in exposure of 24% from the NAA. Over the quarter we added 5% equity exposure, ending the quarter with a reduction of 19%. This was primarily through the unwinding of our short position in emerging markets.
Within fixed income we added 1.0 year of duration over the quarter. The Fund began the quarter with a duration exposure 3.0. During the quarter, our views pointed to a supportive environment for fixed income over the short-term. We added 1.0 year of duration in Japan, removing a short position in UK rates and reducing our long position in emerging markets.
We reduced foreign currency exposure in the lead up to the March 2019 Brexit deadline, by hedging some currency exposures in the US and UK. Within emerging markets we shifted our exposure from Asia to Europe, and added to Nordic exposures (SEK and NOK).
Combined NAA and DAA fund portfolio positioning
The Fund has an equity exposure of 33%; we prefer the UK, US and Europe over emerging markets. The duration (interest rate risk) of the Fund is focused on emerging markets where we see the best opportunities. Foreign currency of the Fund decreased over the quarter to 23%.
Figure 4: Asset allocation
Source: First State Investments
Given equity and bond valuations, we continue to believe the NAA will be unlikely to deliver the required return to meet the Fund's objective of RPI + 4% over a rolling 5 year period. To bridge this shortfall we have increased our risk budget to DAA (see figure 5 below).

Market outlook
Our market outlook remains unchanged from last quarter. We still expect that monetary and fiscal policies will continue to dominate, and trade tensions will periodically rattle the investment landscape.
Global growth appears to be slowing and nearing its final state. This is being led by the US; although we expect it to continue to outpace other developed markets. US fiscal stimulus is fading and signs that the economy is at the very late stages of the cycle may begin to appear.
Monetary policy shifts are expected to aid economic growth and be welcomed by financial markets. Central banks have turned dovish almost in unison. We expect this to weigh on the USD and benefit emerging market assets; especially bonds and currencies. Chinese efforts to stimulate growth should feed through to global growth and provide some respite from the late cycle US growth. Strong returns so far in 2019 make us cautious and we expect greater volatility for the rest of the year.
A summary of the Fund's positions, along with changes over the quarter, can be seen in Figure 6.

Holiday Decorating Part 1
I tend to go a little Christmas crazy when it comes to decorating the house. I have five large rubbermaid tubs of decorations, boxes of Willow Tree Nativity pieces, wreaths, lighted garlands, a Christmas train… and that's just for inside the house. And being this is the FIRST year in our FIRST house, and the FIRST year NavyGuy and I won't be going home to our parents for the holidays, we may reach a whole new level of insanity.
Step 1 in the decorating process should have been to inventory and take stock of what items I already have…. whoops. Instead, I carried four bags of Target holiday items home yesterday (which I blame on the fact that I spent half of Black-Friday working the seasonal department of the store… and thereby eyeing up all the new holiday decorations). But everything I got is sooooo fabulous! Check it out:
A decorative pillow and matching kitchen towels, from the "Birchwood Chalet" theme of decorations.Stocking holders for our mantle (NavyGuy vehemently stated that his stocking would hang from the reindeer… why he felt so strongly about it I haven't gained the courage to ask…)
An advent calendar with room for a little piece of candy as we count down the days to Christmas.
I also got some red and gold ball ornaments, and another strand of white lighted garland (it's my Christmas crack). Annoyingly, Target doesn't have most of these items available online, so sorry for the shoddy photographs. Everything was on sale (so no guilt trip Mom!), and I can't wait to bust out all of my other decorations and trim the house! Lots more photos and possibly some how-to's to come…

I love your decorations! I wish I had that much Christmas stuff, but I'm still trying to convince my husband that it's not overkill to put lights on the outside of the house… 🙂

''The more things change, the more they remain the same.''(904) There are many themes presented in the book A Separate Peace, But I think the most meaningful and bold theme in the book is the theme of transformation. The most obvious transformations were that of the main characters, Gene and Finny. Some other characters besides Gene and Finny also had transformations. For most people, transformations occur over a matter of years, or even decades. If you flip through a ten year old photo album I bet you would find out you are a whole different person now than you were ten years ago. In A Separate Peace the two main characters, Gene and Phineas (also called Finny), go through very obvious transformations over a matter of months.
In the beginning of the book, Gene Forrester was intelligent, thoughtful, competitive, and a mediocre athlete. He does not like big displays of emotion, just like most people at Devon, the prep school he attends.
He is also a follower and listens to Finny because he does not want to lose Finny's respect. Finny on the other hand, is almost a polar opposite of Gene. He is honest, handsome, self-confident, extremely likable, rebellious, and an excellent athlete. As a matter of fact, he is the best athlete at Devon. Finny likes to live life at its fullest, even if that means no work and all play. He is loyal to his friends and is best friends with gene.
Gene was a little bit Jealous of Finny's talents at the beginning of the book, but that small bit of jealousy soon escalated and Gene changed more and more as his envy for Finny inflated. In chapter 4, Gene and Finny get back from a forbidden trip to the beach (Gene is...
