There Are Many Ways To Be Distracted While Driving

While the topic of distracted driving may cause a problem, there are many types of distracted driving that could result in a disaster. There is texting and driving and drunk driving, as well as distractions from the back seat and driving after taking drugs/medications. They may not seem that bad, but turning away from the road even for one second can end terribly. The real question is why do we choose to be distracted?

Look At How Distracted Driving Can Affect One's Life

How Can We Prevent Distracted Driving?

11% of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash. Drivers under the age of 20 are the most common people to be distracted while driving. Many types of drugs are involved in 16% of all car crashes. The NSC reports that using your phone while driving leads to about 1.6 million crashes every year. Distracted driving has been a major aspect of life, however it is easy to prevent it.

There are many ways to prevent yourself from being distracted while driving. Certain technology can be used, as well as keeping mental notes to keep your attention on the road. The following solutions can be used to help prevent from distracted driving:

- Keep your phone on silent to avoid temptations

- Put your phone in places out of reach, such as the trunk, so you can't reach for it

- Use apps to block calls and texts from being received while driving

- Make a commitment to not use your phone while you're driving

There are also ways to prevent yourself or others from driving drunk.

- Set a designated driver that is sober to drive you

- Protect others by keeping them from driving if they are drunk

- If you don't feel safe to drive, ask for a ride

Overall, distracted driving is never the right thing to do. It causes many deaths and even more injuries. It may seem like a good choice at the time, but something could come out of nowhere and end it just like that. It may be texting and driving, or driving drunk, but driving while distracted may result in disaster. If you want to keep yourself and others around you safe, keep your eyes on the road. Doing so can save your life.

The problem

For several years, Flint, Michigan has been given nothing but polluted water that has led to many harmful diseases. This all happened because of a broken pipe that got contaminated with lead and progressively got worse over the years. The problem took years for the government to acknowledge it and when they supposedly fixed the pipe, residents thought differently. They didn't trust any of it and still kept using water bottles. Until Governor Snyder stopped giving out free water bottles after and dismissed the people of Flint and left the problem. Fact- There are nearly 100,000 residents living in Flint with dirty water.

Flint is being kept quiet.

The Flint water condition started with lead but got worse when other toxins got involved into the water pipe. When the pipe was told as considerably okay and the governor said the the water regulations were fine, residents didn't give in. People's kids were getting sick and infected with all types of problems. Residents were going to hospitals and still weren't able to drink the water. The government neglected the controversy even with people speaking up about it and did others things as if the Flint problem isn't existing.

Agriculture

Agriculture as you know it has been used in the earth for more than 1,000 years. It has provided you with the "yucky" but healthy vegetables that come to your dining table and it provides you with the soft cotton that you wear. As the years went on and people become more sophisticated, agriculture grew along with the humans and has shown us how humanity has grown from using horned cattle to modern tractors.

Agriculture and farming practices can both harm and protect environmental systems and processes. Groups that farm cooperatively feel a strong sense of stewardship and responsibility to the land, but farmers do face barriers when they choose to farm sustain-ably.

Positive Effects

Farming, even though it gives you much hard work when doing the job it provides you with products that are used to sustain and enhance life. Most of the people in the rural areas depend on farming as their source of food as well as their livelihood. When we farm we furnish the soil with nutrients as we are fertilizing the crops and equips the improvement of drainage along with preventing soil erosion.

negative effects

The fruits and vegetables that we get from husbandry (farming) these days have been all made using chemicals. Farmers use these chemicals to make the crops grow faster, bigger and for them to look fresh and tasty longer when they are transported. Using chemicals in the plants that we eat has become an everyday thing and is now known as "MODERN FARMING" .Not only does using fertilizers hurt us, it also creates a bad impact on the environment as it runs off and seeps underground to wells or canals, or joins a nearby river, polluting the water and the animals that feed and live in it.

Getting Back On Track

People generally equate modern farming with Genetically Modified crops /plants etc. - this is wrong.

Organic farming is about using non-chemical /natural /bio degradable /locally available /non - toxic inputs - the inputs generally are Seeds, Fertilizers and Pest control stuff.

Organic farming is not against modernization of agriculture. It is indeed necessary that we need to modernize agriculture as we grow . Various practices old or modern - those which are ecologically and economically suitable - without compromising on food safety, food sovereignty and food security are always welcome.

Fun Facts

* Agriculture is one of the United States' most important industries, employing more than 24 million workers or 17 percent of the country's total work force.

* Elevators in the Statue of Liberty use a soybean-based hydraulic fluid.

* The longest recorded flight of a chicken is 13 seconds.

* Soybeans are an important ingredient for the production of crayons. In fact, one acre of soybeans can produce 82,368 crayons.

The real problem...

The legal limit for drinking while driving is 0.8% alcohol in your blood stream this limit should be 0.0% or absolutely no alcohol.People are doing a lot but not enough to stop over 10 thousand deaths per year.This is a pressing problem and should be better assessed.

Is it preventable ?

Although more laws and more awareness have stopped some deaths from DRUNK DRIVING crashes by half since 1980, more than ten thousand people a year die in drunk driving related crashes. The problem is not the laws its the bars and restaurants that sell alcohol.The sale of alcohol should be illegal.

Frequently Asked Questions...

How serious is the problem? A: The problem is serious extremely tens of thousands of people die every year because of drunk driving.

What can I do to help? A: If you see something say something.

Failed Prevention Methods

There are things like in car breathalyzers that previously convicted people who had DUI's must breath into to start their car. The key word being previously witch means that person might have already hurt somebody or broken something. I think all car should have these special breathalyzers.

Report: Teen killed after unbuckling seat belt to take selfie
Friday, May 4th 2018, 7:34 pm CDT Friday, May 4th 2018, 7:34 pm CDT The display represents the 929 lives lost in Texas due to not wearing a seat belt. (Source: TxDOT)
By Mayra Monroy, Digital Content Producer

(KXXV) -

A family is trying to raise awareness about the importance of seatbelts through TxDOT's "Click It or Ticket Campaign."

The Mills family said that on Oct. 28, 2017, their daughter Kailee was traveling with friends when the car she was in went out of control and flipped just 400 yards from her home. Houston news station FOX 26 reported that Kailee had unbuckled her seatbelt to take a selfie.

"No family should have to grieve the loss of a loved one whose life was cut short," said Texas Department of Transportation Executive Director James Bass in a press release. "Last year, more than 900 people killed in traffic crashes were not buckled up, leaving countless families, friends and communities to deal with a tragic loss. Many of these deaths were preventable, but seat belts only work if you use them."

The "Click It or Ticket" display showcases 929 pairs of shoes in a variety of footwear that represent the victims of those traffic accidents.

"Our daughter would be here today if she had been wearing her seat belt," said Kailee's father to FOX 26.

Officers are expected to step up enforcement of seat belt laws from May 21 to June 3.

Choosing the correct size

When you rent or buy your skis the length depends on your level of skiing. If you've been skiing for years and can ski parallel down a mountain then the skis should reach from the ground to the top of your head. If you've just learned how to ski or can't ski parallel yet, then the skis should reach from the ground to your shoulder. Smaller skis are usually easier for beginners because, they go slower and are easier to do 'pizzas' with. Longer skis are steadier but you go faster and you'll have to ski parallel because if you don't your skis could get caught together and you could fall.

When you use poles you want them to be the correct size. The way you measure it is by turning the pole upside down and bending your elbow at a 90 degree angle. If you are deciding between shorter or longer poles, shorter is better. Longer poles will make you drag them around and you could get them caught under your ski and you could get injured.

football injuries

In 2011 there were 13 football players that were disabled because of concussions or injuries. I think there helmets should have a strap to keep them on because when they get tackled their helmets sometimes fall off causing the players to get concussions.

how to avoid a injury

-Maintain Fitness- when you are in off-season you should exercise and stay fit so you are ready for the season at the beginning of the season make sure your fit.

-Pre-season Physical- It is important for all players to have a physical before the season so they can make sure they are ready for the season and have no diseases

-Warm up and Stretch before the Game- It is important to warm up and stretch before a game because cold muscles are most likely to get an injury.

-And make sure you Hydrate- It is important to hydrate for your practice or game throughout the day because it takes a couple hours for water to go through your body.

How to Live With a Concussion

173,285 people under the age of 19 have concussions so here is some ways you can live with it.

-you can relax and not do much.

-you can go to physical therapy.

-don't play any sports.

What are concussions and what causes them?

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that can result in permanent damage to the brain. It is caused by a hit or abrupt jolt to the head which results in a disruption to the part of the brain known as the reticular activating system also known as RAS. This is located in the middle section of your brain and it helps regulate your sense of awareness and consciousness. If your brain is disrupted when it isn't fully developed, a young child for example, the damage could end up being more severe.

youth concussion statistics

Symptoms of a Concussion

There are some key symptoms of a concussion that you should never ignore. These symptoms can occur directly following the injury or a few days after. Some of the symptoms are a headache, a feeling of pressure in your head, balance problems, nausea, vomiting, blurry vision, dizziness, sensitivity to light and noise, drowsiness, confusion and concentration problems. Some things for parents to watch out for is changes in behavior or their children having a hard time doing things that were easy before the injury. If you suspect your child has a concussion seek help from a medical professional immediately.

returning to school after a concussion

young children and contact sports

Young children are much more susceptible to concussions because their bodies are not fully developed. In a lot of sports, especially tackle football, the coaches and parents are not taking enough caution to prevent these injuries from happening. And you might think helmets help prevent concussions,but the brain can still move back and forth in the skull resulting in the brain getting bruised and injured when hit. Only recently have sports organizations started enforcing an age requirement, which helped reduce the amount of concussions in children. But even after implementing an age requirement there is still a very high rate of concussions in children. Concussions aren't only caused by sports though, they can be caused by simply falling and hitting your head. So if your child shows any signs of a concussions, regardless of how it happened you should always go get advice from a doctor.

Diagnosis of Obesity

To discover if an individual is scientifically overweight, or obese, you must calculate the BMI ( body mass index) of the person. BMI measures total body fat and is found by body mass (weight) divided by the square of body height. Obesity is defined as possessing a BMI of 30 or more. Severely obese people have a BMI of 40 or greater. These calculations are adjusted based on sex and age. A BMI of 18.5 or less is underweight, and 18.5 - 24.9 is a normal, healthy weight.

Disadvantages Caused by Obesity

People who have obesity are prone to dangerous health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes, cancer, gallbladder disease and gallstones, sleep apnea, artery diseases, arthritis, and early death. Obesity does not just effect physical condition, but also mental health. Obese individuals tend to feel left out and cannot participate in normal activities. It may be hard for them to travel, have confidence in themselves, sleep, or maintain energy levels. It can even be difficult to go on a simple walk if it gets severe.

How to Prevent Obesity

In order to prevent or get rid of obesity, it's important to exercise an hour a day, or 150 minutes spread out into the week (if you're older). Be sure to get rid of unhealthy foods high in sugars, sodiums, and fats. Instead, go for healthy food such as fruits and vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. A healthy lifestyle should be affordable and available to everyone, so try to plan out your meals and exercise periods ahead of time.

THE causes and reduction of Forest Fires

In April 15, 2018 Coachella experienced a wildfire. Wildfires are known that 90% of them are caused by humans. Wildfires are not only dangerous for people but are dangerous to the environment as well as we see less and less animals appear due to less vegetation. The fire department are still investigating to see if human hands created this fire or if it was dry winds running through the forests.

H. Michael Anderson approximated to about 36 million acres of land in the world has forest fires every year. He researches the needs of state parks to help the environment to stay as healthy as possible, this also includes the reduction of forest fires. He also studies the possibility's of forest fires happening, so far he says I've noticed that most causes come from human interactions with the environment. He says of course forest fires can be caused by other things such as Dry Winds, Lightning, and lava but the cause of most forest fires happening is the addiction of humans to nature.

Humans can reduce the amount of forest fires in the world by one of many things. Most forest fires start by the carelessness of humans. We can reduce forest fires by leaving camp fires unattended, shooting fire works, or leaving lit cigarette buds on the ground, even matches. So many things can be done to save our environment and the organisms that live in it. Things such as shooting fire works or lighting up cigarettes can be done but it is important to be aware of your surroundings, as of not doing these things near/in forests or by trees in the area. It is important to be safe so our world can stay young and beautiful again.

Take action, don't give a reaction By: Mahek Punjani

Bullying at school

Did you know that about 160,000 kids miss school everyday just to avoid bullying? A study showed that about 30%, or 5.7 million students were dealing with bullying, and other form of aggression. Bullying includes physical abuse, such as hitting or pushing, verbal abuse, such as name calling and insulting, and emotional abuse, such as putting someone down just because you don't like them. Bullying can lead to many conclusions, such as physical injury, social difficulties, emotional difficulties, and even death.

Bullying online

Bullying doesn't only occur in schools, or always involve physical contact. another major source for bullying is the World Wide Web. Being online where people can't see you or find out where you are is another perfect territory for cyberbullies. More than 1 in 3 people have gotten cyber threats online, and half of them don't inform trusted adults. Cyber bullying can include getting threats online, spreading rumors online about someone, posting hurtful comments/pictures of someone online, etc. Cyber bullying can have the same same effect on someone as physical bullying can, but there's only so much you can do about it if it's online.

An Inside Look on Slavery

There are several current problems in our lives that are happening all around us. One major example is Slavery. Contemporary Slavery, or modern-day slavery, is something that is happening all around the world. There are tens of millions of people globally, who are forced to work as servants or slaves. Among 40 million people, there are 5.5 million kids who are working involuntarily, and in my opinion, that is absolutely horrifying. Imagine having to work for food, water, and other necessities.

This picture gives an example of how slavery was back in the olden days

This picture shows men, women, and children, doing hard work.

Here is a link that takes you to a video showing modern slavery in Pakistan

Help Take Care of Yourself

With hundreds of muscles and bones in your body, its hard for dancers to escape getting injured at some point during their career. Even a little sprang can take weeks to heal because of a dancers stress level. Fatigue can also lead to injuries, with dancers back to back rehearsals its hard to get enough sleep.

Stress doesn't only worsen injuries, it can cause them. When your stressed you get dizzy and can't balance very well, which can put dancers in danger. Also when stressed we may forget to sleep or eat, which leads to injury as a dancer. If and when your stressed your brain sends a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol causes a decrease in bone formation which makes it really difficult for your bones to heal.

Its extreamly important to get enough sleep before rehearsals or class. If you're too tired for class you might hurt yourself and stress over the injury and cause your body to get overwhelmed and take longer to heal itself. Or worse you may hurt yourself to a point where you can't dance anymore. Thats why its crucial to get a good nights sleep before days you have class or rehearsal.

Drunk Driving

The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% and if you drive with a blood alcohol level above that, you are driving drunk. The police can tell if you are driving drunk because often, you will either be swerving on the road, driving too slow, or driving too fast. There are many tests to do to see if you are illegally drinking and driving and if you fail it, you will be put in jail.

Why It's good for us

Since about 13% of all American children are overweight, exercise and fitness would really help. Also playing sports is also externally fun, which as we all know, is what kids love to have! It can also help with physical skills and even social skills.

Benefits from playing sports

Kids usually get the benefits they seek from sports and more. Kids need attention and respect (in that order), but they have few ways to get them. What is unique about sports is that they offer kids an arena where they can earn attention and respect by exerting their natural abilities. Kids are good at sports because sports are essentially about speed, strength, coordination, vision, creativity, and responsiveness-the necessary physical attributes are the attributes of youth. Kids also get exercise in a fun way. Kids can also meet others with a variety of different backgrounds which can help with social skills.

parental involvement

Since the stakes are high and sports can impact a child's future, parental involvement has increased drastically. Parent volunteers can assist coaches can making running a team more smooth. Some parents are intense and view their kid's sports as profesional sports wich may lead to more presure form parents to see their kid win.

The Causes of Pollution

Water can be polluted in many ways. The most common pollution is chemical. When chemical runoff goes into lakes and streams. Also, when farm animal waste washes into water. Another huge one is oil. When oil spills occur thousands of gallons of oil can pollute not just the water but sea life.
