Think outside: 5 ways to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors

(BPT) - Life is hectic, full of demands at work and home. Add digital distractions like comput-ers, cell phones, tablets and more, and it’s no wonder many people are experiencing record-high levels of stress.

One simple solution is to shift your perspective by spending more time outdoors. When you do an enjoyable activity outside, stress begins to melt away as you bask in the fresh air, sunshine and beauty of nature.

This doesn’t mean you have to be a savvy out-door adventurer. There is a growing movement of people of all ages and walks of life embrac-ing nature by finding new ways to discover the world around them. If you feel the draw of the outdoors, consider these five ideas for discon-necting and enjoying activities outside:

1) Try something new

When you challenge yourself by trying a new outdoor activity, you gain confidence and build lasting memories. You might also find new connections with a shared perspective. Curi-ous about fishing? Look for local opportunities and guides. Want to learn how to rock climb? Research local classes and clubs. Interested in an experience of a lifetime? Explore the many options Polaris Adventures provides. These ex-pertly tailored trips throughout the country let you try new ride-and-drive experiences that you’re sure to never forget.

2) Take a hike

One of the easiest ways to explore the outdoors is something that virtually anyone can do: hik-

ing. Put on comfortable, sturdy athletic shoes and have fun discovering the parks and forests around you. Whether you opt for paved trails or a more challenging path through the forest, it’s a wonderful way to have fun by yourself or with others. Make a day of it by packing lunch or other snacks for mid-hike picnics where you can take in the grandeur of Mother Nature.

3) Explore the open road

There’s something freeing about the open road and exploring the nation’s highways, byways and hidden winding roadways. The fresh air and breeze in your face is second only to the sights and sounds of the new surroundings you experi-ence as you explore cities, towns and country sides. As you look for your next adventure, try an alternative to a car or motorcycle that pro-vides an exhilarating experience, such as a three-wheeled motor vehicle. These vehicles are as fun to drive as they look, plus most can comfortably seat two people for joint outdoor exploration.

4) Head off road

Find endless possibilities beyond the pavement. Few things can compare to traveling off road and discovering hidden spots and new places. With Polaris off-road vehicles, the options are only limited by your desire to explore. Pack up your gear and head out knowing you’re in a machine made to journey through the forests, deserts, mountains and beyond. Go at your own speed and see where it takes you.

5) Wander the water

Whether it’s a pond, lake, river or ocean, the

water is equal parts soothing and exhilarating. It provides countless opportunities to spend time outside, depending on your personal preferences. Fish from the shoreline. Rent a canoe or kayak to discover bays and sandbars. Kick back and explore on a Bennington Pontoon. Try your hand at paddle boarding. When in doubt, just plan a beach day with a group of friends or the whole family.

As life continues to pull people in every direction, it’s more important than ever to take a moment and spend time outside. With these ideas, it’s easier than ever to enjoy connecting with others and the outdoors. For more ideas about what to do outside, visit Polaris.

Protecting you from credit and debit card fraud with artificial intelligence(BPT) - Imagine a thief gets your credit or debit card and decides to go on a shopping spree.

You have no idea this is hap-pening, until you get a phone call from your bank or an alert from your mobile banking app. How did they know to flag these specific transactions as fraud instead of other things you have purchased?

Artificial intelligence.

How you stay protected while shopping

A sophisticated anti-fraud detection system from payment network Visa, called Advanced Authori-zation, uses artificial intelligence to look for pos-sible fraud every time you insert, tap, touch or click to make a payment. It doesn’t know your name or exactly what you’ve purchased, but assesses activi-ties and patterns to learn what typical purchase be-havior looks like.

How does this work?

The moment you pay at a store in person or on-line, the artificial intel-ligence gathers hundreds of pieces of information about the transaction, analyzing more than 500 factors that may indi-cate fraud. Some of the information analyzed includes:

* Has the account been used at this store before?

* What type of transac-

tion is it - in-app, contactless, chip or magnetic stripe?

* Is the spending pattern out of the ordinary for the account?

* If a purchase is being made in person, is the loca-tion of the store unreasonably far from the location of a recent in-store purchase?

In about a millisecond, this information is assessed for the probability of fraud and sent to the card-holder’s financial institution, where the decision is made to either approve or decline the transaction.

However, artificial intel-ligence is having a big impact in the effort to pre-vent credit and debit card fraud and is becoming more sophisticated every day. It’s fast, accurate and efficient, but also enables highly intelligent predic-tive analytics to help identify and prevent fraud be-fore it can happen.

For many, this is yet another example of technology continuing to play a larger role in our lives - per-haps this time for the better.

Condolences…The Passing of William Paul Monsour

William Paul Monsour Margate City - Monsour, William Paul (“Bill”), 66, of Margate City, NJ, passed away on Au-gust 1, 2019. A loving and devoted husband to Kimberly (Fitzpatrick) and a wonderful brother to Bob, Bill was a friend to many and an inspiration to all. Bill was born in Brooklyn, NY to William and Eleanor Monsour on May 4, 1953. The family moved to Margate in 1963. Bill attend-ed Blessed Sacrament School and Holy Spirit High School, graduating in 1971. He served in the U.S. Navy for six years. Following his service, he went on to earn a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Florida. He worked as an electrical engineer at Motorola for five years and then as a systems engineer for the Federal Aviation Ad-ministration for 31 years. Bill and Kim loved to travel to tropical locations, including Florida, Punta Cana, the Ba-hamas, and Aruba. In addition to his technical skills, Bill enjoyed playing piano, playing chess with friends every week, and sitting with a cigar on the front porch. All who met Bill, connected with Bill. He was generous of spirit and

always ready with a smile. He had an incredible memory and enjoyed sharing jokes that he had heard over the years. Bill studied a wide range of subjects ranging from the great physicists to the great theologians, always seeking the truth. Bill is survived by his wife, Kim, of Margate City, his brother, Bob (Sandra), his nephew Daniel, mother-in-law, Lorraine Fitzpatrick, sister-in-law, Kelly Fitzpatrick-Brown, niece Madison, brother-in-law, Kevin Fitzpatrick (Janeen), nieces Alexis and Ava, and numerous cousins who he loved dearly. He is preceded in death by his mother, Eleanor, and his father, William.

Joyce C, Newton, - 77, of Linwood, passed peacefully on August 3, 2019, at the University of Pennsylvania Presbyterian hospital. Joyce was born and raised in Ocean City and graduated from Ocean City High Class of 1959. She was married 53 years and survived by her husband Richard Newton. She is predeceased by her mother Dorothy, and brothers Robert, James, and John and step son Kirk. She is survived by daughters Kara Pozza (John), and Kelly Bird (Mike) and 6 adoring grandchildren Kayla, Gabriella, Andrew, Christopher, Jayden, and Jayce. Always a Methodist, she was a member of Central United Methodist Church serving as mem-bership secretary as well on Administrative Council and other duties. She worked for the FAA NAFEC for 33 years, retiring in 1998. One of the greatest joys in Joyce’s life was the love of her grandchildren. Each time she spoke to them she ended the conversation with “Remember who you

are”. Appreciation is noted to the excellent care provided by the Heart/Vascular Intensive Care Unit medical staff and support personnel over the last 5 months of Joyce’s life. Of note is the great love and support received from the pastors and congregation during her hospitalization. Interment will be at Friends Central Cemetery in Linwood for immediate family members.

‘The inspiration is endless:’ An ingredient the world’s top chefs recommendPistachio Gazpacho with Watermelon and Cucumber(BPT) - Chefs Laurent Manrique, Roland Passot and Gerald Hirigoyen hold the most envied title of their profession: Maître Cuisinier de France or Master Chef of France. Chefs are chosen to join one of the world’s most prestigious culinary associations through an exhaustive six-month review process that dates to 1951.

For the three Bay Area residents and San Francisco restaurateurs, being named a Master Chef of France is a lifetime achievement, significant career milestone and distinct honor all in one. This year, they also play host to the organization’s annual Global Con-ference in San Francisco. They gathered to discuss what’s inspir-ing them and how local ingredients shape their dishes.

The common food item on their short lists? Pistachios, with which they are very familiar, having seen the pistachio orchards that line the landscape throughout central and northern Califor-nia.

“One of our duties as a Master Chef is to participate actively to promote products of ‘top quality,’” said Hirigoyen, owner of Piperade. “Pistachios grown here in California, not far from San Francisco, are superior in color and taste. I love to use pistachios because not only are they a great thing visually, they are healthy, too. They’re buttery in flavor, but the lowest in fat, actually. They can go in toppings, fillings and soups.”

The green nut’s versatility appeals to the proprietor of popular Café del la Presse, Manrique, as well. “When I came to Califor-nia, I discovered the greatness of cooking with pistachios. There are so many things you can do, from savory dishes to sweet. The inspiration is endless. Put them on salads and in pates. Even when you cook pistachios, they keep that wonderful texture and crunch.”

At La Folie on Russian Hill, Chef Passot’s cuisine blends French tradition with contemporary culinary creativity, and features sea-sonal, fresh, organic and sustainably harvested fare that is locally sourced whenever possible. “French cuisine doesn’t have to be rich to be delicious. I use pistachios because of their natural, healthy fats and oils. Plus they have great flavor and give you

energy, just eating them out of hand with an aperitif.”

Pistachio Gazpacho with Watermelon and CucumberBy Chef Gerald Hirigoyen, Piperade, San Francisco

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

2 cups pistachios, shelled

1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced in 1/2-inch cubes

1 cup celery stalk, diced

1 1/2 cups Pain de mie (or other soft white bread), chopped

2 small garlic cloves, degermed and finely chopped

4 cups cold water

Juice of one lemon

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 cup watermelon, 1/4-inch cubes

1 cup croutons

4 sprigs fresh tarragon

1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the pistachios, most of the diced cucum-ber (reserving a small amount for garnish), celery, pain de mie, garlic and water.

Working in two separate batches, pour half of the ingredients into a blender and puree on high speed until contents are smooth throughout, about 2 minutes, and then transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass bowl or airtight container, gently pushing all of the liquid through with a spatula or back of a ladle. Discard the solid ingredients.

Season the soup with salt; refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.

To serve, divide the soup into 4 shallow bowls and garnish even-ly with the reserved cucumber and diced watermelon. Scatter croutons and a sprig of tarragon on top of each bowl. Season with ground white pepper to taste and drizzle small dots of extra virgin olive oil over the top.

Serve immediately.

Rescanning your TV to pick up the new frequencies is the same process you used to find your local channels when you first set up your TV.

To rescan, on your TV remote control, press “menu” then look for “channel scan,” “program,” “rescan,” “auto tune” or “auto search” in the “setup” or “channel” function.

Even without these frequency changes, it is typically a good idea to periodically rescan your TV to update the channels you receive. While some TVs do this automatically, you may need to select “scan” or “auto-tune” from the TV’s menu to start the scanning process.

If you have difficulty, consult the TV owner's manual or the manufacturer’s customer service line for more detailed instructions on how to run a channel scan to find local TV channels. If you need to contact customer service, you can find that information in your TV instruction manual or on the manufacturer’s website.

Once the rescan is complete, you should receive all available digital TV channels through your antenna. Except in rare circumstances, no new equipment or services are required.

How to Rescan Your TV

FAMILY FEATURES

If you rely on an antenna for your TV viewing, changes may affect the reception of some of your local channels.

As part of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) effort to make more airwaves available for new, high-speed wireless services, some TV stations in cities across the United States are changing their over-the-air broadcast frequencies.

While the channel numbers you see on the TV are not changing, if you watch

TV using an antenna, you will need to rescan your television to update to the new frequencies so you can continue receiving the affected channels. You will not need to buy a new TV or purchase a converter box. Only people who use an antenna to watch local channels need to rescan their TVs. Cable and satellite subscribers are not affected by these changes.

Not all local channels are changing, and frequency changes are happening on a rolling basis through July 2020, meaning

that not all channels will change at the same time. You should be on the lookout for announcements on your local TV channels and rescan whenever the stations alert you to any changes taking place or you notice a channel you can normally see is missing. TV stations will give you at least 30 days’ notice their channels are changing frequencies.

For more information and tips on how to rescan, visit fcc.gov/TVrescan or call 1-888-CALLFCC (1-888-225-5322).

How will I know it’s time to rescan?Some local TV channels will change frequencies at various times through mid-2020. Your local TV stations will announce their specific “rescan days” on which you will need to rescan. You should be on the lookout for public service announcements and “crawls” running across your TV screen. Broadcasters will provide at least 30 days’ notice that their channel is changing frequency.

A good rule of thumb is to rescan your TV anytime you notice that a channel is missing. If you haven’t rescanned in a while, you may be surprised by how many other channels are now available.

Who will be affected by the transition? People who watch television for free with an antenna will be affected. Millions of consumers across the

country watch free, over-the-air TV using an antenna.

Will the TV stations change channel numbers?No, the channel numbers you see on your TV are not changing, but you will need to rescan your television to update to the new frequencies so you can con-tinue receiving those same channels.

How can I find out which TV stations are changing frequencies?The FCC website has an interactive map where you can insert your address to see which of your local TV channels will be changing and the dates you should be watching for the station to announce its “rescan day.” To access the map, visit fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps.

Once you enter your location information, you will see a list of TV stations in your area. Stations that are

changing frequencies will have an “R” in the last column (marked “IA”). Click on each station with an “R” to see the time period during which a particular station will make the change. To find out the specific “rescan day” for a particular station, watch for on-air announcements and notices or check the local TV channel website for information.

What is the advantage of making the frequency changes?The benefit is that more airwaves will be available to meet consumer demand for increased mobile broadband capacity, new 5G wireless and other advanced high-speed mobile services currently being developed.

How can I find more information?For more information and tips on how to rescan, visit fcc.gov/TVrescan or call 1-888-CALLFCC (1-888-225-5322).

Common Transition Questions

An Easy Solution to After-School Snacking(Family Features) The early morning chaos and activity-packed evenings of the back-to-school season can make finding time to connect chal-lenging. Throughout the day, there can be small windows of time that your family can make the most of - even if only for a few moments that matter.

“As a busy mom, I know how hard it can be to find time to slow down with the kids,” said Dr. Tanya Altmann, pediatrician and parenting expert. “After-school snack time is my secret weapon. It’s a time we can all pause for a few minutes before running out the door to soccer or starting homework. As a doctor, I’ll take any ex-tra opportunity to provide the nutrients my kids need. That’s why I focus on nutrient-rich snacks, which always include milk in our house.”

Most Americans, including kids, fall short on the recommended three daily servings of real milk and milk products for kids ages 9 and up, accord-ing to the USDA Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Adding real dairy milk to afternoon snack time is an easy way to get kids nutrients they need to grow up strong, which is one less thing for parents to worry about.

“The great thing about milk is that kids already love it, so it’s an easy way to get protein and oth-er essential nutrients they need to fuel their after-school activities and meals,” pediatrician Dr. Ilan Shapiro said. “It’s not a battle to get them to drink it like so many foods can be.”

You can make the most of snack time with sim-ple, fun recipe ideas like Harvest Fruit and Oat Energy Bites, which are a quick way to fuel up. Pairing these with an 8-ounce glass of real milk provides protein and essential nutrients kids need to power through after-school homework or ac-tivities.

S n a c k i n g recipes are not only easy to make, but also easy to plan. For more tasty on-the-go rec-ipe ideas to try this back-to-school season, and to shop for ingredients, visit milklife.com.

TECH Center Announcements

This security awareness message is to remind all FAA personnel, contractors and military personnel assigned to FAA facilities that we must exercise continued vigilance and be on alert for all types of suspicious activity, to include suspicious packages. If you have any questions regarding safe mail handling procedures or the identification of suspicious packages, or as with any emergency situation, call the FAA Technical Center established emergency response contact by dialing 911, this will connect you with security. The recognition of suspicious letters and parcels is the first defense against their effectiveness. It is equally important to be prepared when a suspicious package/envelope has been identified. Some of the typical characteristics of suspicious packages and letters include the following:

· No return address or a return address is not consistent with the State where postmarked· Handwriting on envelope is distorted or typewritten· Envelope is uneven, rigid or appears to contain no correspondence · Excessive postage · Addressee’s name misspelled or title listed incorrectly · Oily stains, powdery substances, peculiar odors, or unusual sounds coming from the item· Packages marked “confidential”, “personal” or “rush”

· Delivered by unexplained or unusual means · Evidence of electrical wires or tin foil· Excessive wrapping materials, such as masking tape, strapping tape, or string

If you receive a package/envelope like this:· Do not open the package/envelope. Leave the package/envelope on a desk or in an area where it can be monitored and left undisturbed.· Call your established emergency response contact (ie., building guards, municipal police, airport police, etc.), per established facility procedures.

REMINDER EMERGENCIES & SUSPICIOUS PACKAGES!

Watch Your Step: Did you know that the Number 1 mishap that occurs on the Center is a slip, trip, or fall? The majority of the time the mishap is due to human error, the person was either not paying attention to their surroundings or to what they were doing. For instance, wearing high heels when there is ice/snow on the ground is not such a good idea. Another not so good idea is talking or texting while walking and thus not seeing the curb that sent you to the ground, or not paying attention to uneven walking surfaces and adjusting your stride accordingly. The Safety Office wishes to remind everyone to be mindful of their surroundings and avoid engaging in behavior such as talking or texting that can lead to a slip, trip, or fall.

Drive with Caution The second major mishap around the Center is driving accidents. There have been a number of fender benders resulting from backing into parked cars or side-swiping cars in the parking lots. A secondary problem is exces-sive speed on Center roadways that has resulted in a couple of single-car accidents. The majority of driving mishaps at the Center result from driver error. Safe driving includes situational awareness, recognizing road conditions, and applying defen-sive driving techniques. The bottom line is to slow down, take your time, and be cautious as you drive at the Center.

MISHAPS CAN BE REDUCED

BUT ONLY WITH YOUR HELP! BE PROACTIVE TO INCREASE YOUR SAFE-TY AWARENESS WHEN WALKING AND DRIVING.

Prepare Your Family for Hurricane Season(Family Features) Severe weather events, like hurricanes, are powerful and can come on quickly, often leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Because power outages are also common with strong storms and natural disas-ters, preparing your family ahead of time can help ensure safety.

Making a portable generator part of your plan ensures access to safe food storage and prepa-ration, hot water, lights and important radio or television updates in the aftermath of a storm when it can be difficult to predict when full power will be restored.

While portable generators can be valuable tools in helping protect your family during and after a hurricane, they must be used properly to avoid potentially deadly carbon monoxide buildup, which is emitted as toxic engine exhaust and cannot be seen, smelled or tasted.

Although it is impossible to completely elimi-nate the hazards associated with improper generator use, models that comply with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Portable Generator Manufacturers’ Associa-tion (PGMA) G300 Standard provide enhanced safety through carbon monoxide sensors and shutdown features that can help protect your family. Also consider these tips for safe opera-tion from PGMA:

* Keep the operator’s manual in a safe place so you can refer to it easily for further information about safe generator operation and potential hazards.

* To avoid dangerous carbon monoxide ac-cumulation, always “Take It Outside,” which means never running a portable generator in-

doors, such as in garages, basements, crawl spaces, breezeways, sheds or other partially en-closed spaces.

* Always place a portable generator downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occu-pied spaces. Also avoid placing your generator near windows, doors or vents, as carbon mon-oxide gas can accumulate and potentially be drawn indoors.

* If you feel sick, dizzy or weak while using your portable generator, get to fresh air im-mediately and call 911 for emergency medical attention as you may be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Be prepared for the unexpected this hurricane season and find more information about safely operating a portable generator during severe weather at pgmaonline.com and takeyourgen-eratoroutside.com.

Are you getting enough protein in your diet?(BPT) - You may have noticed protein bars and shakes popping up at grocery stores or gyms. Coverage of the benefits of protein is all the rage. So it might be surprising to learn that almost half of older adults are not consuming enough protein, thus negatively impacting their health, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging.

What role should protein play in our diet?

“Protein can be thought of as one of the build-ing blocks to our muscles, bones and blood,” said Dr. James Metcalf, a medical director with UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement. “Not only does protein help keep our body strong, it helps promote good balance and mobility - all important factors to being able to live indepen-dently as we age.”

Additionally, protein helps combat common signs of aging, like declines in muscle mass, strength and function, which can put you at greater risk of falling and fracturing bones.

But before you grab the nearest protein bar, let’s discuss exactly how much protein you should consume each day.

How much protein do I need?

The National Academy of Medicine’s recom-mended dietary allowance for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. For an adult who weighs 195 pounds that’s 71 grams per day; for someone who weighs 170 pounds that’s 62 grams per day.

While it is helpful to know how many grams of protein you should aim to consume each day, knowing the amount of protein in the foods we eat can be a bit of a mystery. Below are some sources of high-quality protein and the corre-sponding amount of protein in each, according

to the U.S. Department of Agriculture FoodData Central database:

* Chicken breast (one): 54 grams of protein

* Salmon (0.5 fillet): 40 grams of protein

* Lentils (one cup cooked): 18 grams of protein

* Black beans (one cup cooked): 15 grams of protein

* Greek yogurt (one container; plain, nonfat): 10 grams of protein

* Egg (one): 6 grams of protein

Bottom line

If you feel you might benefit from adding some sources of protein into your diet, be sure to talk with your doctor before making any drastic changes.

Increasing your protein consumption will not be a silver bullet to keeping your body healthy as you age. Staying physically active is also impor-tant to help maintain your health and live your best life.

Improve Academic Outcomes through Access to Health Care Coverage

FAMILY FEATURES

W ith each school year, parents dust off theirannual checklists that help them organize theirneeds as their kids head back to the classroom. This school season, make sure one priority

at the top of your to-do list is ensuring your children havehealth insurance.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, studieshave shown that children who have health coverage missfewer classes and perform better in school than those whoare uninsured. With the proper health coverage, childrencan get the immunizations, check-ups, eye exams, dentalvisits and preventive care they may need to fully participatein school and remain engaged both in the classroom andextracurricular activities. Health coverage can also provebeneficial when a child is sick or injured.

In fact, millions of children and teens already qualify forfree or low-cost health coverage, including dental coverage,through Medicaid and the Children’s Health InsuranceProgram (CHIP). These programs can help those whoqualify get the coverage they need to excel in the classroom.

To help ensure their kids make the grade, parents needto first do their homework when it comes to health cover-age. To make sure you have assessed your coverage opt-ions, keep in mind these health care coverage questionsand answers:

What do Medicaid and CHIP cover? Medicaid and CHIP provide comprehensivecoverage for children and teens nationwide whoqualify. This includes routine check-ups, doctorvisits, prescriptions and immunizations, dentaland vision care, and emergency services, all atlittle or no cost to you or your family.

How do I know if my child is eligible? In most states, children and teens up to age19 are eligible to enroll. Depending on yourincome, many families qualify for free or low-cost health coverage.

Once enrolled, how long is my childeligible for coverage? Children and teens can stay covered for as long asthey qualify. You'll need to renew their coverage once a year.

How do I apply? You can apply online, over the phone, by mailor in-person with your state’s Medicaid or CHIPagency or visit the “Find Coverage for YourFamily” section on InsureKidsNow.gov. Formore information, call 1-877-KIDS-NOW (1-877-543-7669).

When can I apply for enrollment? Since there is no special open enrollment periodfor Medicaid or CHIP, you can enroll at any time.

Which is more important to recognize, emojis or road signs?(BPT) - If you were to take a quiz to test your ability to identify common emojis and road signs, how do you think you’d fare?

According to the results from a recent survey by Mercury Insur-ance, 1,890 respondents did not do so well. The meaning of the “yawning” emoji was correctly identified by 85% of the respon-dents, but only 31% of quiz-takers correctly identified the mean-ing of the “lane reduction” road sign. Additionally, 71% knew the “in love” emoji, but the “keep right” road sign was correctly identified by only 51% of quiz-takers.

Emojis are continually being added to our texting and messag-ing vocabulary, and for the most part, we’re able to keep up with this ever-changing landscape. Fortunately for the more than 200 million licensed U.S. drivers, road signs are highly regulated and consistent, and are designed to help keep drivers safe and easily guide them to their destinations. The bad news, however, is that far more people are able to identify emojis than road signs. And what’s worse is that many times they’re looking at these cute little icons while they’re driving.

“Sure, emojis are a fun, modern-day form of shorthand, and may be more intuitive, but there’s a time and place to use them, and behind the wheel of a car isn’t one of them,” said Kevin Quinn,

vice president of claims and customer experience at Mercury Insurance. “A picture may be worth a thousand words in some cases, but it certainly isn’t worth getting into a collision and risk-ing someone’s life. Most colli-sions are avoidable if drivers fo-cus on their main task of safely operating a vehicle.”

Distracted driving - anything that takes a driver’s attention away from the road, including texting and talking on a phone - accounted for 3,166 fatalities in 2017, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Texting while driving is extremely dangerous, as it takes your eyes off the road for five seconds on average - whether you’re reading or sending the mes-sage.

The results of the quiz also highlight the importance of know-ing what each road sign means, so you and those around you

are safe. “These signs are instantly communicating to drivers what actions to take, much like emojis instantly com-municate what friends or family members might be trying to con-vey in a text,” said Quinn. “It’s OK to only somewhat understand an emoji, but it’s im-perative to know

exactly what a road sign is telling you; otherwise it could lead to disastrous results on the road where no one can afford a misun-derstanding. And being an attentive driver who knows the rules of the road and safely gets where they’re going might earn you a smiley face from your auto insurance company, just don’t read it while you’re operating a vehicle.”

Great classrooms don’t happen by accident. Teachers across the country work hard

to build vibrant, energizing learning environments for their students, which often means everything from microscopes to pipe cleaners, graphic novels to oboes, class pets to field trips and much more. As a result, teachers spend more than $1 billion from their own pockets each year on supplies.

However, parents and community members can lend a hand. Helping to offset teachers’ expenses can take many forms, from working directly with your child’s teacher to identify needs to participating in school-based fundraisers. Another option is sharing your assistance with a program like DonorsChoose.org, which makes it easy for any individual to address the inequity in schools, one classroom at a time.

Over the past 19 years, more than 3.8 million people have donated to classrooms through the program. Last year alone, nearly 145,000 teachers had

projects funded on the site and over 255,000 classroom requests were brought to life. These requests reveal some of the key things teachers across America need for success:

Books, Books and More BooksWhile books may seem “old school,” teachers know that a single book can change a student’s life. Year after year, teachers request books more than any other resource. Many elementary school teachers ask for leveled reading books to meet their students’ individual needs. Others want to diversify their libraries with books that reflect their students’ identities. “The Hate U Give” and “Wonder” are among the most popular books requested this year, and e-readers have become a popular way to expand libraries beyond what the classroom bookshelf can hold.

Flexible Seating and Classroom FurnitureMany teachers credit flexible seating with transforming

the classroom learning experience. Rather than rigid desks, students choose from comfy chairs, bouncy balls, bean bags or wobble stools, all designed to let students get those wiggles out so they can better focus on their work.

TechnologyBecause of rapidly evolving technology, 65% of children now entering primary school will hold jobs that don’t currently exist. Resources like laptops and tablets help students learn at their own pace and practice 21st century skills like coding. For example, coding robots and 3D printers are becoming some of the most popular items requested in high schools.

Back to the Basics Many teachers simply need basic supplies: paper, pencils and tissues top the list. Last year, teachers requested enough pens and pencils to write the complete works of William Shakespeare more than 2,000 times.

Life EssentialsAnother popular request is “hygiene closets,” which allow teachers to pro -vide students facing poverty with free toiletries to take home such as deodorant, toothbrushes and tooth-paste, as well as laundry supplies and clean undergarments.

An Appreciation for the ArtsThere are plenty of extracurricular activities at nearly every school that require care and compassion from the community. Drama teams, for example, require supplies to create music, perform plays and more. Donations often allow students to explore their artistic abilities while learning how to create sets, write their own scenes, use instruments and more while simultaneously building their management and teamwork skills.

Community Service Not all learning must take place in a classroom. In fact, teachers across the country often take aim at new ways to engage students, such as integrating practical life into the daily curriculum through an outdoor learning environment like a community vegetable garden. By requesting composters, rain barrels, seeds, gardening tools and more, educators can take their classrooms outside to help make the planet healthier while students learn how to be healthier themselves. It also gives students an opportunity to give back to their community by donating food to local families in need.

4 easy DIY projects to go back-to-school in style(BPT) - Parents spend over $500 per student for those in grades K-12 during the back-to-school season, ac-cording to a new survey from Deloitte. But back-to-school shopping doesn’t mean your wallet needs to take a heavy hit! With just a little extra time and effort, generic backpacks and supplies can be customized into a personality-reflecting fashion statement.

“Personalized backpacks, binders or even lockers are a great way to show off individual personalities and styles,” said Kate Piche, Group Product Director at DAP. “And with the right adhesive, you can quickly liven up just about any school supply without spend-ing a fortune.”

Start the year off right by transforming your afford-able school supplies into fun, personalized pieces with these four simple projects:

Locker door décor

Take a school locker from drab to fab by using DAP RapidFuse All-Purpose Adhesive to glue magnets to the back of mirrors, pen cups, clothespins or other dec-orative objects for cute and practical locker door décor that can be hung without damaging the locker. Rapid-Fuse is water resistant and more durable than typical super glues, making it the best option for the job. Bo-nus project: to create a locker chandelier, start with an inexpensive push light (found at hardware stores) and adhere decorative ribbons or gem stones to the outside rim of the light.

Backpack zipper pull

For a backpack that won’t get lost in the crowd, ad-here a ring and clip to the back of a wooden ornament. Squeeze a bead of adhesive onto the metal ring and press onto the back of the ornament for 30 seconds. Once dry, clip onto backpack zippers to create stylish pulls that reflect your kid’s interests! But don’t stop there, liven up your pencil case while you’re at it so it doesn’t get mistaken for someone else’s.

Personalize binders and lunch boxes

Visit a craft store and allow kids to choose decorative patches, buttons, gemstones or even fabrics. The hard-to-bond plastic surfaces typical of binders and lunch-boxes are no match for DAP RapidFuse Plastic Primer Kit. Once you’ve decided on décor placement, use the primer pen, wait one minute, apply RapidFuse All-Purpose Adhesive and press together. Also great for quick fixes around the house, the RapidFuse Plastic Primer Kit ensures a strong, clear bond on all plastic surfaces, allowing you to keep your cherished items, instead of tossing them out.

Teacher appreciation gift

Introduce yourself to your new teacher with a small teacher appreciation gift, like a pen holder or desktop organizer. Glue on letter tiles and spell out their name or subject - or apply small beads of adhesive to fas-ten a fun note or name label to extra school supplies you’re donating to the classroom.

There’s Plenty To Watch On TV Without Having To Pay For Streaming, Cable Or Satellite

(NAPS)—When it comes to home entertainment, one of the latest innovations in TV viewing is really one of the oldest: the antenna—and budget-conscious consumers are thrilled.

How It WorksThese days, with a new smart TV or inexpensive

antenna, you can “cut the cord” and discover a vast array of shows and specials, new and nostalgic, via what’s called a diginet or digital subchannel. In 2009, the government changed the way that local stations broadcast their signals, moving them from old-fashioned “analog” signals to newer, more efficient “digital” signals.

That allowed every local broadcast channel to divide up its spectrum into multiple feeds—in the room that it used to take it to air just one channel, it can now air three or four additional digital channels (not just, say, Channel 4, but Channel 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and so on), while still maintaining high picture quality.

With all this new space available, many new “digital subchannels” or “diginets” formed—and have partnered with local broadcast stations to air across the country in local markets. As a result, shows and movies from across the history of TV are now available regularly.

The fun and economy they provide is increasingly popular. In fact, the number of U.S. households that get their TV signals via over-the-air antenna is now more than 24 million homes.

Why It’s PopularThe skyrocketing costs of cable and satellite TV,

the extra fees charged for channels you don’t want, streaming and over-the-top (OTT) platforms in this new golden age of content, have left consumers searching for the best choice and value. Today’s antennae hold the key to hundreds of channels waiting to be discovered and, unlike the old “rabbit ears,” the new compact indoor kind are really easy to set up and use. As one user put it: “It’s been awesome. It doesn’t log out and it doesn’t skip.”

The antennae cost only around $20 or less and are available at most major electronics or big-box stores and on Amazon—and you get to skip the monthly fee. Indoor antennae are small, powerful and discreet. They’re great for people living in apartments or crowded cities. Outdoor antennae are traditionally mounted on the roof and can get more than 150 TV signals. They’re a great option for those who live far from broadcast towers.

What To WatchEven though most of what’s shown on diginets

are classic movies and episodes of TV series from 1950–1990s, there’s something for everyone, from sitcoms to Westerns to crime dramas to variety shows. One of the most popular diginets, getTV, anchored by Sony Pictures Entertainment’s vast library, airs such programs as “The Unit,” “Married...With Children,” “Good Times,” “Amen,” “The Steve Harvey Show,” “Walker, Texas Ranger,” “The Johnny Cash Show,” “Hot in Cleveland” and “All in the Family.” Other major diginets include MeTV, Comet, Antenna TV, Cozi TV, Escape, Grit and Laff. No cable, satellite or Internet connection is necessary.

5 tips to make the most out of your workout routine(BPT) - Whether you’re hitting the gym to get healthy, tone up or improve your overall well-being, there’s no denying that seeing results can be one of the most satisfying feelings. Noticing even the smallest change in the way you feel or look is reason enough to lace up your sneakers for another sweat session. However, when re-sults seem to plateau or schedules get busy, you might begin to question your commitment to a fitness routine.

Whatever you do, don’t give up! Keep the be-low tips in mind to help maximize your fitness routine and stay on track.

1) Find a workout buddy

Instead of flying solo, bring along a friend so you can encourage each other during your workouts. Exercising with a buddy can breed a healthy form of competition, but it’s also a great way to hold you accountable. To help maximize the im-pact, try to pick a partner that is on the same fit-ness level as you and shares similar goals - you will want to be able to increase your intensity level and challenge each other as a team.

2) Fuel up

An active lifestyle requires proper nutrition - period. When regularly exercising, your body

needs fuel for optimal performance and proper recovery. Before a workout, opt for healthy and easily digestible carbohydrates like brown rice, quinoa, whole-grain bread and pasta, fruits and vegetables to give you energy. Afterward, try a protein-packed snack like Emergen-C Protein Fuel and Superfoods. With 15 grams of organic plant-based protein and two full servings of 14 superfoods, the protein and superfood powder blend can help you make the most of your active time by providing the wholesome nourishment you need, along with supporting your natural defenses with a high potency serving of vitamin C.

3) Head to the weights

If your fitness goals include improving body composition and losing weight, you may want to introduce strength training into your regimen. While exercises such as walking, running and

cycling can do wonders for your cardiovascular health and help burn calories, strength training with weights can elevate your metabolism for a longer period - meaning your body will contin-ue burning calories even after a workout. Plus, strength training can target and tone those hard-to-reach muscles, improve balance and help protect your bones.

4) Switch it up

After a while, bodies can grow accustomed to the same exercise routine, often leading to stalled results. If you find yourself breezing through a workout, it’s time to switch it up and push your limits. Varying your exercises can challenge your mind and body, help burn more calories and prevent boredom. If you like to run long distances, try implementing sprint in-tervals. At the gym? Try out new equipment or vary your reps. Challenge your body and you may be surprised by the results.

5) Take a break

The last way to maximize your fitness routine has nothing to do with the gym at all. In fact, it requires you to skip the gym. Exercise provides many health benefits, but too many high-inten-sity workouts can backfire, potentially causing injury from overuse and hindering your results.

Be sure to allow your body enough time to heal before hitting the gym again and try to work ac-tive rest days into your schedule, such as going for a light walk or bike ride.

Keeping these tips in mind can help you make the most of your fitness routine and magnify your efforts in the gym, on the track, in the pool or wherever you choose to exercise. Above all, don’t hesitate to ask fellow gym-goers for help or to make modifications when something feels off.

Boat SafeEnsure your boat is ready for the water with this checklist(eLivingtoday.com) No matter how much experience you have on the water, prepping your boat - and your passen-gers - before leaving the dock can make for a more enjoyable experience.

To prepare for a safe and comfortable trip, review this pre-departure checklist to ensure your vessel is in good working order and well-stocked for the adven-ture:

* Documentation - Have all required documentation for planned activities, in-cluding boat registration, fishing permits and boater education cards readily accessible. * Float Plan - File a float plan with a responsible party who will remain on land. Provide contact info, explain where you’re going, when you intend to return and what to do in case he or she doesn’t hear from you.* Weather Forecast - Always check the forecast before you head out on the water. To regularly monitor any changes, keep a handheld radio onboard.* Fuel - Before leaving, check that your fuel level is adequate for the trip and that other fluids, like oil and coolant, are at the proper levels.* Batteries - Check to make sure the boat’s battery, as well as battery-operated items like flashlights and handheld radios, are fully charged and operational.* Lights - Check to make sure you have properly functioning naviga-tion and instrument lights and pack a flashlight, as well.

* Life Jackets - Ensure you have at least one U.S. Coast Guard-ap-proved personal floatation device per passenger with a minimum of two onboard. If your boat is lon-ger than 16 feet, you’ll also need a throwable device.* Anchor - Keep at least one an-chor, attached to an anchor line, and at least two fenders for dock-ing onboard.* Bilge - Before launching your boat, ensure the bilge is dry, clear of waste and has a properly func-

tioning pump.* Fire Extinguisher - Keep a U.S. Coast Guard-approved fire extin-guisher securely mounted in an accessible place.* Distress Signals - Store flares and day signals in a dry, accessible location and ensure all passengers onboard know how to use them. Also have a noise-making device, such as an air horn, bell or whistle, capable of producing a 4-second blast audible for at least 1/2 mile readily available.* Tools - Keep a basic toolbox onboard with commonly used tools and spare parts like wrenches, screwdrivers, batteries, fuel filters, hull plugs and light bulbs.* First-Aid Kit - Keep a well-stocked first-aid kit - and extra sun-screen - in an accessible location in case of accidents.
