...structure fires, 381,000 of which were residential structures. There were 2,405 deaths, 13,175 injuries and over 7 billion dollars’ worth of property loss… This means nearly 80% of structure fires occur in the home. So how do you prevent yourself from becoming one of these statistics? I’ll talk to you about smoking, cooking, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and dryers. And also some fire survival tips and fire planning that you should use. First I’ll talk about smoking and why you shouldn’t smoke in your home. Every year, almost 1,000 smokers and non-smokers are killed in home fires caused by cigarettes and other smoking materials. Fires caused by cigarettes and other smoking materials are preventable. Next is cooking, In 2010, cooking was involved in an estimated 156,400 home structure fires that were reported to U.S. fire departments. These fires caused 420 deaths, 5,310 injuries and $993 million in direct property damage. By following a few simple safety tips you can protect you and your family from a potential home fire. Why should you have smoke detectors? About two-thirds of home fire deaths occur when there are no working smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms increase the chance of surviving a home fire by 50 percent. * Placement * Battery replacement * Maintenance Another useful tool to have is a portable fire extinguisher. A portable fire extinguisher can save lives and property by...

...do some illegal things. For example, a couple of them smoked marijuana frequently, and constantly tried to pressure me into doing it as well. Additionally, they went to parties that often had alcohol; and they would drink as well. I offered them advice on several occasions that they should not be using these substances. When it comes to marijuana and alcohol, I am completely against it. I’ve never smoked or drank alcohol in my life, mostly because of religious reasons, even with all the pressure I received from some friends I had. It started to get more than I could handle when one of my friends invited some of us over to play some video games. Not even 20 minutes into being at his house, they began to pull out marijuana and started to smoke it, while I was in the room. I asked them to not do that right there, but they insisted on doing it there and then. So I left, and I am very glad I did. From that point on, I was stuck between remaining friends with these guys who I had known for quite some years, and putting up with their use of drugs around me, or saying so long and stop affiliating myself with them. So one of the most difficult decisions of my life, I had to completely cut off these friends from my life. At the time, I wanted to turn back, and find a way to resolve it, but I realized that I had already tried...

...Zubura Zubura etting high on marijuana has been happening for Centuries. Here we take a look at what we call the 3 Levels of HIGH on Cannabis. We specify marijuana for obvious reasons. Once you have read these descriptions, we hope you'll agree and see (in your own experience) how we have come to these accurate conclusions. Below you will find our description of basically what happens when you smoke marijuana, and what happens when you continue to indulge. Some believe there are more than 3 levels of getting high, and they have every reason as marijuana affects everyone a little differently. The apparatus you choose to smoke your pot in will vary. While this can influence the rate at which you attain these levels, it does not negate the fact that you go through each one to experience the next (no matter ho ractice: Limited to taking only two or possibly three hits (tokes, inhales, etc.) Effect: This is the first level experienced in getting high on pot. You catch a nice, calm, enjoyable, floaty, buzz. First time users may claim to be stoned. This buzz practice is good for the daily user who begins their day with a buzz (not to be confused with "wake & bake" - see Stoned). Catching a Buzz is not enough to get burnt out, and yet you have not truly reached the Level of High (so to speak). You can revisit your joint or pipe later and refresh your buzz by taking a couple more hits. This can be continued through-out the day with few (if any) ill effects. Explanation:...

...The Importance Of Fire Safety At Home Fires can be devastating. They can tear apart families and destroy homes. The worst thing about fires at home and within business is that most of them are entirely preventable. Over 72% of the recorded fatalities from fires occur in the home. Every day, people start fires by falling asleep with cigarettes in their hands, leaving candles burning in unattended rooms and by leaving discarded items in front of open fireplaces. The fires that are started are careless and completely avoidable. Also, we can't forget fireworks. It can seem like a good idea to celebrate a happy occasion with fireworks or by setting off a glowing lantern. If you do decide to release any of these items, consider the following: Can you insure that you will not be endangering anyone around you? Do you have enough room to set it out, unobstructed into the night? Accidents are all too common where these items are concerned and you wouldn’t want to be responsible for any devastating consequences. Perhaps consider going to a staged event or an area away from the home to enjoy fireworks or glowing lanterns. Also in recent days, there have been stories of debilitating fires, that have destroyed homes and taken lives all across our region, even in the Oxon Hill area. During October 2010, there was a fire in the Rosecroft Mews Apartment Complex, on the 2400 block of Corning Avenue in Fort Washington, MD, which is very close to the Oxon Hill/Fort Washington border...

...Senior Services and Chronic Fatigue According to the National Institute of Health, fatigue is a "common clinical complaint among older adults for which multiple definitions and measurement instruments exist. Fatigue is often a symptom of underlying medical or psychiatric illness." One of the greatest problems with chronic fatigue is that, while it is common, it is almost impossible to diagnose consistently. While the symptoms of fatigue typically include chronic tiredness and exhaustion, many seniors also complain of physical or cognitive decline or an inability to complete tasks. Measuring "tiredness", "decline", or slower performance is very difficult and relative, thus the complexity in diagnosing chronic fatigue. Many researchers have added "qualifiers" to help understand a senior's troubles. Examples are defining the condition as cognitive fatigue, muscular fatigue, or emotional fatigue. Further complicating matters, chronic fatigue syndrome is an ailment in which the symptoms of fatigue have no medical conditions to explain the problems. Yet, the fatigue could be caused by any number of medical problems including hypothyroidism, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, lung disease, or even rheumatoid arthritis or depression. Misdiagnosing the problem could lead to severe complications by missing an underlying condition. Many times seniors will have a hard time explaining the changes the are occurring. Senior services providers are often able to relate what they have seen...

...When working in the hospital setting, every health care worker has been exposed to many different types of sounds. Whether it is cardiac monitors, phone calls, patient call-lights, bed alarms, feeding pumps, or IV medication machines, nurses are exposed to an extraordinary amount of noises while at work. Being exposed to constant sounds can become exhausting over a 12 hour shift, and many nurses can develop alarm fatigue. Alarm fatigue is when clinicians can become overwhelmed due to the sheer number of alarms and therefore become desensitized (Joint Commission, 2013). Regardless if every alarm that sounds needs a clinical intervention, if nurses develop alarm fatigue, it can be hazardous to their patient’s safety. With alarm fatigue,...

...Hallana Paula Barbosa Fundamentals of College Writing Dr. June E. Dunn E 103.10 Teenager’s behaviors The 1938 movie, Reefer Madness, suggests that teenagers who smoke marijuana are problematic to society. Since the early 1900s, drugs have been one of parents’ worst enemies. Marijuana changes a person both mentally and physically. According to reefermadness.org, the film was intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale attempting to teach them about the dangers of marijuana. The movie was revolving around the tragic events that happened when high school students tried marijuana. The curse of marijuana abuse is spreading across the United States of America like a disease and must be stopped. Parents are instructed to learn what they can about the evils of this addiction and warn their children against it. Dr. Carroll talks about the dangers for the horrified parents of the students at the school. He tells them that marijuana is more addictive than they imagine and that it could lead to violence and sexual misconduct. To illustrate his point, he tells the parents about a recent case they may have heard about, one which happened in their city, near their school. Three innocent young people are drawn in by the promise of a party. First Jimmy and Bill attend the party, followed by two exemplary students, and later, Jimmy’s sister and Bill’s girlfriend, Mary. Smoking the weed makes you laugh uncontrollably, dance wildly, and indulge in promiscuous sexual behaviors...

...dangerous and harmful. It is important to education each other as much as possibe to help prevent injries or deadly accidents. There are four stages that happen in every fire. Those stages are Incipient, Growth, Fully Developed, and Decay. Each stage plays a role in every fire. Understanding each stage, and how to handle or prevent it is critical in becoming in control of a fire. Flameovers and backdrafts are not consider stages, but also are definitely factors of a fire. These factors sometimes can be prevented. Some methods of prevention are taugh at fire academies, or fire schools, to new firefighters, and are constistly being developed. Incipient, also know as the "ignition" stage, is the first stage of a fire. In this stage smoke may began before the fire actually flames up. This is the stage where heat, oxygen, and a fuel source combine to ignite the fire. At this stage it can be controlled by a household fire extinguinsher. Growth is the second stage of a fire. With the initial flame used as a heat sourse, more flames flare up. Flaring up makes the size of the fire increase and the plume reaches the ceiling. In a room hot gases meet at the celing of the roomwhich cause all fuels in that room to be closer to its ignition temperature. In which the fire will eventually spread. During this growth stage is when a flashover can happen. Flashovers occur when a room or other areas becomes heated to the point where flames flashover the entire surface. Temperatures...

...responsible. One instance of this was demonstrated by a dormitory fire at the University of Mary Washington. The blaze was started unintentionally by a malfunctioning single cup coffee maker. In blazes such as dorm fires, there has been temperature recordings of over to 800 degrees fahrenheit, that can cause the entire building to explode into flame or severely burn the residents of the building. Fortunately, the fire at University of Mary Washington was contained to one room thanks to an early detection by smoke alarms and fire sprinklers to help douse the flames. Students were evacuated from the building and allowed to return to their residences after the blaze was extinguished by the local fire department. However, “159 students living in Mason had to relocate temporarily because of the wet conditions caused by the sprinkler system. Many were either away for the weekend or moved in with friends.” (Cathy, 1) In this case in Washington, the building was apparently saved by the smoke detection and sprinkler system. According to an article, this system was improved with...

Perform the same actions as the fire team leader does in the designated position within the formation. Performance Steps 1. Fire team formations describe the relationship of the Soldiers in the fire team to each other. Standard fire team formations are the wedge (figure 071-326-0501-1), modified wedge (figure 071-326-0501-2), diamond (figure 071-326-0501-3), and file (figure 071-326-0501-4). a. Fire team wedge (figure 071-326-0501-1). This is the basic fire team formation which— (1) Is easy to control. (2) Is flexible. (3) Allows immediate fires in all directions. (4) Offers all round local security. Figure 071-326-0501-1. Fire team wedge STP 21-1-SMCT 18 June 2009 071-326-0501 3-165 Performance Steps b. Fire team modified wedge (figure 071-326-0501-2). When rough terrain, poor visibility, or other factors reduce control of the wedge formation, the sides are closed up to (almost) a single file. When moving in less rugged terrain and control becomes easier, resume your original positions. The modified wedge is also used for extended periods when traveling on roads or trails. The modified wedge— (1) Is easier to control in reduced visibility or rough terrain than are other formations. (2) Offers less flank security than a...

...Many people around the world smoke marijuana. Some people think it is right while others, like myself, think it is wrong. I believe that marijuana negatively affects teens, is dangerous, and costs way too much for what it is worth. The main ingredient of marijuana is THC, which quickly travels rom the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the organs and throughout the body. In about every high school 42% of teens have tried marijuana. When the teens smoke the marijuana it sends a chemical into the bloodstream that ends up going into the brain and makes the person act unusual. They lose concentration and are not motivated to do their schoolwork. Research’s show that students do not remember what they have learned while they are “high” on marijuana. This leads to them dropping out of high school. Teens are also affected by peer pressure from their peers to try marijuana. Most teens’ friends say, “smoke this and if you do not we are not friends,” so most of the time the teen will smoke it. After smoking the marijuana for a long period of time, the teen will become addicted. Students who smoke marijuana have twice the odds of being a dropout and have trouble finding jobs, getting involved in gangs and crime. Also, when teens smoke marijuana it usually leads them to trying heavier drugs. Marijuana leads to car accidents, fires, and murders. Research’s say that no one has died from the use of marijuana, but if the user of marijuana is driving he or she is most...

...lethal drug. Many movies, novels and celebrities were largely responsible for instilling in people such made up facts about marijuana. “Reefer Madness”, the 1936 cult hit, depicted marijuana as the primary cause for turning two teenagers into sex-crazed murderers. Novels such as “Badge of Evil”, “Casino Royale”, etc were used as strong propaganda against marijuana causing it to be considered as a violence inducing drug. Currently, marijuana does not have the lethal drug status anymore. If we happen to see someone smoking marijuana in a television program, we will definitely not get embarrassed. Although marijuana is illegal in many states of America, it is so popular and a recent study reveals that one in fifteen high school students smoke marijuana almost every day. The 21st Century considers marijuana as a medicine for many debilitating diseases and relief for chronic aches. No doubt, marijuana is a best remedy to increase appetite and thus resolve the weight loss problem in HIV patients. Similarly, marijuana is best to alleviate the intensity of pain in cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy. Marijuana as a means to get high For the majority of users, the primary purpose of using the drug is to get high. Marijuana provides the users with a feeling of elation, increase appetite and reduce inhibition. The smokers of the drug start experiencing the effect in 15 to 45 minutes after inhaling it. Studies point out that first time users of the drug may not experience these...
