Source Data
My KMZ map is created from the Sudbury Valley Trustees map (with permission):
See version history below for more info.
This KMZ map is set to Draw Order 40 so it will show 'beneath' your primary map on your Garmin KMZ-compatible GPS. However, this KMZ map is designed to show 'above' my adjacent KMZ map of the Hazel Brook Reservation. If both maps are loaded on your GPSr, the only part of the Hazel Brook KMZ that is obscured by the Upper Mill Brook KMZ is the legend of the Hazel Brook map.
The images below are both from a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc. The image on the left is with no other maps displayed. The image on the right has the Garmin 24K NE series TOPO map displayed.

individual or a group that is verified as forcefully adverse or threatening
(Redirected from Foe)
Enemies are those who are seen as forcefully adverse or threatening. The term is usually used within the greater context of war, to denote an opposing group as a threat.
edit- His father was no man's friend but his owne, and he (saith the prouerbe) is no man's foe else.
- Thomas Adams, Diseases of the Soul (1616), p. 53.

- Aesop, The Eagle Wounded by an Arrow, Fables. (~ 600 BC)
- Your friends are three and your enemies are (also) three. Your friends are: your friend, your friend's friend and your enemy's enemy. And your enemies are: your enemy, your friend's enemy and your enemy's friend.
- There is only one thing more useful in politics than having the right friends, and that is having the right enemies.

- Julian Assange, quoted in Facebook Nation: Total Information Awareness by Newton Lee, (2014)

- Have you forgotten the story of "Lorna Doone"—how the Doones, men of high family, who had fallen under the displeasure of the Government, had betaken themselves to the Doone Valley, surrounded on all sides by precipitous mountains, and from this strongly fortified position levied their blackmail upon the surrounding country, killing and robbing and outraging the people of the land until the citizens were aroused and determined to extirpate them? Do you recall how the men of the eastern county gathered together on the eastern mountain, and the men from the western county gathered on the western mountain, with their arms and cannon ready to fall upon the Doones and destroy them, when by some untoward accident a cannon from the western ranks was trained across the valley and shot into the ranks of the men of the east, and how, inflamed by this accident, the men on the east trained their guns across the valley into the ranks of the men of the west, and while these foolish people were slaughtering one another, the Doones sallied forth and put both counties to flight and continued to rob and kill and outrage for years to come.
Let us heed the lesson, my countrymen! Let me say to Governor Kitchin and Senator Simmons and Chief Justice Clark: The Doones are in the valley. I pray you, gentlemen, train your guns a little lower.- Charles B. Aycock, governor of North Carolina, address prepared for delivery in Raleigh, North Carolina, April 12, 1912. R. D. W. Connor and Clarence Poe, The Life and Speeches of Charles Brantley Aycock, p. 361–62 (1912). Aycock did not give the address because he died while making a speech on April 4.

- Dwight D. Eisenhower, speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors "The Chance for Peace" (16 April 1953)
- Let us admit, then, quite frankly that the military profession was a means of making a living by taking the property of others. Its peculiarity was that it was the only means to that end that was—I suppose that I may say that is—reckoned honourable. The only essential point was that the person whose property was to be taken should be declared, or at any rate considered, to be an enemy. A penniless younger son who stole a sheep in England was liable to be hanged for his pains; but, if he joined some adventure overseas, or took service in the army of some foreign power, he could steal as many of the enemy's sheep as pleased him. Moreover, he was tolerably sure of a share of plunder, and he might, if lucky, capture some prisoner of high rank and obtain high ransom for him.

- Walt Kelly, the words of Pogo in an Earth Day, 1971, cartoon strip, The Best of Pogo, ed. Mrs. Walt Kelly and Bill Crouch, Jr., p. 163 (1982). This succinct expression was derived from a sentence in the Foreword of an earlier publication, The Pogo Papers (1953): Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.
- It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head.

- Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need—not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.

- Oliver Hazard Perry, message to General William Henry Harrison (September 10, 1813). The earliest printed source for this is found in Robert B. McAfee, History of the Late War in the Western Country (1816), chapter 8, p. 354, and the message in its entirety as given here is reprinted in Messages and Letters of William Henry Harrison, ed. Logan Esarey (1922, reprinted 1975), vol. 2, p. 539. Benson J. Lossing, The Pictorial Field-Book of the War of 1812 (1868), p. 530, has a facsimile of the Perry message, with the introduction, "When Perry's eye perceived at a glance that victory was secure, he wrote, in pencil, on the back of an old letter, resting it upon his navy cap, that remarkable dispatch to General Harrison whose first clause has been so often quoted". No source for the original message is given. The circumstances under which the message was written have been told in many biographies of both Perry and Harrison.
- If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
- Proverbs 25:21-22, (King James Version)
- Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

- Inventé par le caloumnateur ennemy.
- Invented by the calumniating enemy.
- François Rabelais, Pantagruel (1532), Book III. 11.
- If this law of Karma, "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," is inevitable and exact justice, it by no means follows that we ourselves, personally, should attempt to fulfil it in this way. If we do so, we shall never emerge from the magic circle of karma. Indeed, we must forgive our personal enemies, as who knows but that the blow one receives is a return blow, well-deserved under the law of Karma? By returning such a blow with another and with a feeling of revenge in our heart, we do not outlive this karma, but we continue and even intensify it in the worst way for ourselves. Moreover, by forgiving our enemies we decrease the amount of evil in space and become immune against many blows. Similarly, let us understand the words "Love thine enemies." However, with all this, we must resist evil, if we do not want to be entirely overwhelmed by it. (26 May 1934)
- Helena Roerich, Letters of Helena Roerich Volume I: 1929-1935
- I have political enemies, of course—men who, influenced by party feeling, are not above attacking methods and possibly my official reputation; but personal ones—wretches willing to stab me in my homelife and affections, that I can not believe. My life has been as an open book. I have harmed no man knowingly and, as far as I know, no man has ever cherished a wish to injure me.
- Anna Katherine Rohlfs, The Mayor's Wife, p. 25 (1907).
- In cases of defence 'tis best to weigh
The enemy more mighty than he seems;

Doth, like a miser, spoil his coat with scanting
A little cloth.- William Shakespeare, Henry V (c. 1599), Act II, scene 4, line 43.
- Be advis'd;
Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot
That it do singe yourself: we may outrun,
By violent swiftness, that which we run at,
And lose by over-running.- William Shakespeare, Henry VIII (c. 1613), Act I, scene 1, line 139.
- I do believe,
Induced by potent circumstances, that
You are mine enemy; and make my challenge
You shall not be my judge.- William Shakespeare, Henry VIII (c. 1613), Act II, scene 4, line 76.

Why they are so, but, like to village-curs,
Bark when their fellows do.- William Shakespeare, Henry VIII (c. 1613), Act II, scene 4, line 158.
- O cunning enemy, that, to catch a saint,
With saints dost bait thy hook!- William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure (1603), Act II, scene 2, line 180.
- I do defy him, and I spit at him;
Call him a slanderous coward and a villain:
Which to maintain I would allow him odds,
And meet him, were I tied to run afoot
Even to the frozen ridges of the Alps.- William Shakespeare, Richard II (c. 1595), Act I, scene 1, line 60.
- A thing devised by the enemy.
- William Shakespeare, Richard III (c. 1591), Act V, scene 3, line 306.

- Haunani-Kay Trask, as quoted in "Loving and Hating America" (23 October 2013), by Walter Williams
- To mortify and even to injure an opponent, reproach him with the very defect or vice … you feel … in yourself.
- Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev, "The Rule of Life", Poems in Prose, in his A Reckless Character and Other Stories, trans. Isabel F. Hapgood (1904), p. 317. This appeared in Time, March 5, 1951, p. 31, in a different translation: "If you desire to put your enemy in the wrong or even to damage his reputation, blame him for the very vice which you feel in yourself."
- J'ai toujours fait une prière à Dieu, qui est fort courte. La voici: Mon Dieu, rendez nos ennemis bien ridicules! Dieu m'a exaucé.

- March 27. Still they come in, with about fifty more of the rebels. They look starved and wild, but here they will have enough to eat, and will be cared for as our own men. How strange it seems to see them lying so close to those whom they met so lately with bloody intent—now all powerless to harm them, even if rage had not died out in their hearts.
- Sarah Palmer Young, The Story of Aunt Becky's Army-Life, Chapter XXV, p. 180. (1867)

And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.- Ahmad ibn Yusuf, Centiloquium (start of the tenth century CE)
Enemies from within
edit- At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
- Abraham Lincoln, address before the Young Men's Lyceum, Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838), in Roy P. Basler, ed., The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln (1953), vol. 1, p. 109.
- Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people, by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.
- James Madison, speech in the Virginia Convention, Richmond, Virginia (June 6, 1788), in Robert A. Rutland and Charles F. Hobson , eds., The Papers of James Madison (1977), vol. 11, p. 79.
- Again people are looking for scapegoats. But this time the attack comes not from the outside but from within, from extremist splinter groups of the New Left made up of students and—I am sorry to acknowledge—also of some faculty who would like to see our colleges and universities denigrated, maligned and even shut down. They insinuate, distort, accuse, their aim being not to identify and correct real abuses, but always rather by crying alarm intentionally to arouse and inflame passions in order to build support for "non-negotiable demands." Clearly the old McCarthy technique is at work again…. It is more difficult to maintain a realistic sense of human limitation, to refuse to become frustrated and angry; to analyze, to assess, to seek to understand and explain; to determine to be adult and fair; and thus to work patiently to improve while refusing to succumb to either cynicism or hopelessness. It is the long way around, but it is the civilized way, and the only way for those [who] have come truly to understand the role of humane learning.
- Nathan Marsh Pusey, speech at Harvard baccalaureate service, Cambridge, Massachusetts (June 9, 1970), reported in The New York Times (June 10, 1970), p. 1, 30.
- I have beheld no day since the commencement of hostilities that I have thought her liberties in such eminent danger as at present. Friends and foes seem now to combine to pull down the goodly fabric as we have hitherto been raising at the expence of so much time, blood, and treasure; and unless the bodies politick will exert themselves to bring things back to first principles, correct abuses, and punish our internal foes, inevitable ruin must follow.
- George Washington, letter to George Mason (March 27, 1779), in John C. Fitzpatrick, ed., The Writings of George Washington (1936), vol. 14, p. 300.

This weekend I helped celebrate my in-law's 40th
wedding anniversary. Hubby and I went to their church (also the church we
both grew up in and got married in), took them to lunch and spent some time
with them that afternoon. It was sweet and special and I'm grateful for
their 40 strong years together. While at church, however we had the privilege
of listening to the final sermon of the interim pastor, Brett Younger. He has been with First Baptist for the past
year while a huge transition was in the process. His sermon was funny and relatable but his benediction
was what left me challenged. So I
thought I'd share it with you today. It's
a simple prayer with big requests, and I hope to remember this each and every
Happy Monday!

Google just started rolling out the so-called "mobile-first" index. It's going to change the way that your site gets ranked in the search engine results pages (SERPs). Here are a things you need to know about the mobile-first index so that you can optimize your website accordingly.
What is the mobile-first index?
By now, you probably know that Google crawls your site to add pages to its index. That is, it uses a bot to surf around your site like a real visitor and follows links on your pages.
In the past, Google crawled your site as a desktop user. Now, however, Google will crawl your site as a mobile user. That's a distinction with a really big difference.
Keep in mind also that Google uses a number of ranking signals to determine where your site should land in the results list. If the bot finds that your site is hostile to mobile users or loads very slowly, you're definitely going to lose rank.
The bottom line — when performing search engine optimization (SEO) for your site, start with optimizing it for a mobile audience. That's the prime directive now.
Why is Google using a mobile-first index?
If you're wondering why Google is switching to a mobile-first index, the answer is simple. Mobile is everything. That's the short answer, anyway. The long answer is a little more involved.
For starters, the number of mobile users surpassed the number of desktop users a couple of years ago. If anything, Google is late to the game. In addition to that, Google says that there are more mobile searches than desktop searches. So it makes perfect sense that its bot should crawl pages as a mobile user.
What if you don't have a mobile site?
If you don't have a responsive website, you might be asking yourself: "What's going to happen to my site?" You can rest easy. The Googlebot will crawl the desktop version of your site just fine, even though it's using a mobile user agent. That means your site can still be indexed.
Free advice, though — you should definitely switch over to a responsive template. In this day and age, anyone who's serious about making a statement online needs a website that adapts to a mobile platform.
What about expandable content?
This is a new development. Putting content under a read more link used to result in that content not getting indexed by Google. With this mobile first index, things have changed.
According to Google's Gary Illyes, content hidden in tabs and accordions will have the same weight as content that's plainly displayed on the page. Google understands that expandable content makes much more sense on a mobile platform because of limited screen real estate. That's why the company won't punish webmasters who take advantage of those design features. That's a big win for UX and SEO!
Will mobile-first indexing change rankings significantly?
Will the change in crawling significantly impact rankings? In a word, no. As is usually the case, though, there's a caveat. Both Illyes and his cohort, Paul Haahr, said that mobile-first indexing shouldn't result in a significant change in the rankings. They added that it's too early to tell, though. Certainly, if your site isn't friendly to a mobile audience, you shouldn't expect it to rank well for certain keywords.
When does the mobile-first indexing begin?
Google has already started rolling out the mobile-first crawler. However, it will take months before full implementation is complete. Unfortunately, Google won't give a specific date about when the rollout will be completed. That's because the company is still testing the code.
Google did say, however, that it will roll out more and more searchers over time as it gains confidence that the mobile user agent crawl is working well.
How can you see what the mobile-first Google crawler sees?
If you own one or more websites, you might wonder how your sites "look" to the Googlebot that uses a mobile user agent. Fortunately, you don't have to speculate. Just head over to the Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmasters) and click on the "crawl" option on the left-hand sidebar. In the menu that appears, click on "Fetch as Google."
The screen that appears gives you the opportunity to crawl your site as the Googlebot and see what it sees. To see it as a Googlebot using a mobile user agent, you'll need to select "mobile smartphone" from the drop-down menu next to the "Fetch" button.
Click the "Fetch and Render" button and the tool will show you exactly what the crawler sees as it touches your website. That will give you a good idea about how mobile-friendly your site is.
Will there be two indexes going forward?
Eventually, Google will move to only one index. Unsurprisingly, that will be the mobile index. During the rollout period, though, there will be two indexes — the mobile index and the desktop index. A small subset of users will see results from the mobile index, while other users see results from the desktop index. The reality is that people will have no idea which index they're seeing results from.
As Google becomes more confident with the mobile-first results, the company will slowly phase out the desktop index. And we'll have further evidence that mobile is everything.

John Prigge told Sears, his employer, that he was absent for two days to receive radiation treatment for prostate cancer. In reality, Prigge suffered from bipolar disorder, which had been diagnosed several years earlier. Prigge was subsequenlty absent for seven days during which he was admitted to a medical clinic suffering from depression. On this occasion, Prigge advised Sears that his absence was due to incapacity and treatment for bipolar disorder. He also confessed that his prior absence was not due to prostate cancer, but to bipolar disorder.
Sears demanded that Prigge provide medical documentation substantiating his need for leave due to prostate cancer and bipolar disorder. Prigge provided medical documentation substantiating his need for leave due to bipolar disorder. He provided medical certification verifying that he did not suffer from prostate cancer. Sears fired for failure to substantiate his need for leave with medical documentation due to prostate cancer, and for lying about his need for prostate cancer.
The Third Circuit agreed with Sears. It found, essentially, that Sears had the right to terminate Prigge for lying about his need for leave, and because he failed to substantiate that need with supporting medical documentation.
Comment: However awkward or embarrassing, employees need to tell their employers the real reason for their need for FMLA leave. Courts have not allowed employees to tell their employer a false reason for the need for leave. In addition to being truthful, had Prigge told Sears the real reason for the prior leave it would have likely been covered by the FMLA. Courts have not excused employees from telling their employer the real reason for their need leave out of embarrassment or fear that the reason will be fodder for office gossip. Nor have they looked past the false reason to find FMLA coverage based on the real reason for the leave. Courts have consistently found that employers are entitled to the real reason animating the need for leave.
Prigge v. Sears Holding Corp., No. 10-3397 (3d Cir. June 23, 2011).

The Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum, an affiliate of the renowned Louvre Museum in Paris, is located on the Saadiyat Island. In November 2017 the museum opened its doors to the public after ten years of planning and construction time. Designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel, the museum building is a fitting venue for the world-class art collections to be hosted in the years to come.
The building's most striking feature is its roof, a beautifully designed dome with a diameter of 180 m and a weight of approximately 8000 tonnes. The web-patterned dome allows the sun to filter through, much like rays of sunlight passing through palm branches in an oasis.
mageba supplied four large RESTON-PENDULUM bearings (type Mono) to support the museum's enormous roof. These bearings are designed to carry vertical loads of up to 33,000 kN each and to allow horizontal sliding movements of up to +/- 315 mm.
The contract to supply the bearings included a provision for full-scale testing to be carried out prior to the use of the bearings in the structure. This testing was successfully completed in 2014, at the SRMD testing facility of the University of California, San Diego – one of the world's foremost institutes for testing of this kind.
Products: | RESTON-PENDULUM seismic isolators (type Mono) for loads of up to 33,000 kN |

- physical interaction (1) (remove)
Systems to simulate crowd-behavior are used to simulate the evacuation of a crowd in case of an emergency. These systems are limited to the moving-patterns of a crowd and are generally not considering psychological and/or physical conditions. Changing behaviors within the crowd (e.g. by a person falling down) are not considered.
For that reason, this thesis will examine the psychological behavior and the physical impact of a crowd- member on the crowd. In order to do so, this study develops a real-time simulation for a crowd of people, adapted from a system for video games. This system contains a behavior-AI for agents. In order to show physical interaction between the agents and their environment as well as their movements, the physical representation of each agent is realized by using rigid bodies from a physics-engine. The movements of the agents have an additional navigation mesh and an algorithm for collision avoidance.
By developing a behavior-AI a physical and psychological state is reached. This state contains a psychological stress-level as well as a physical condition. The developed simulation is able to show physical impacts such as crowding and crushing of agents, interaction of agents with their environment as well as factors of stress.
By evaluating several tests of the simulation, this thesis examines whether the combination of physical and psychological impacts is implementable successfully. If so, this thesis will be able to give indications of an agent- behavior in dangerous and/or stressful situations as well as a valuation of the complex physical representation.

Dumb Masochism: Give Yourself A Brazilian With These Handy Stencils
LatestThe May 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan is the "sexy" issue, much like every other issue every year. But there's a twist: This issue comes with guidelines for giving yourself a Brazilian wax… And four stencils for your pubic hair.
You'll need a mirror, hot wax, a razor, and anti-ingrown cream, naturally. But the text under "Step 2" reads: "Punch out your favorite shape, hold it up to the center of your V zone, and trace around it with an eyeliner pencil…"
That's right: On the very next page, perforated bikini-line stencils are tucked into the magazine:
Your choices: "Love Triangle," "Sweetheart," "This Way For Fun" (arrow), and the ever-popular "Landing Strip."
You know, mixing hot wax, paper stencils, and lady bits — while trying to read — seems like a painfully bad idea. It's understandable that the Cosmo editors want to get close to their readers, but if you want to get that intimate with our pubes, you're going to have to buy us dinner first.

[ Newsbits ] June 29, 2016
Wednesday, June 29th, 2016I've recently received a big influx of news, announcements, and press releases, so I thought I'd bring Newsbits out of cold storage and use it to share everything all at once.
Recent News
It's wonderful to see this stuff preserved, as always
A group of former employees from the Minnesota Educational Computing Corporation (MECC) recently donated an extensive collection of materials to The Strong museum documenting the history of the pioneering company from 1973 to 1996. The collection includes hundreds of pieces of software, internal documents, and press clippings.
Brock Kyle recently let me know that his essential Apple info site is turning 20 this Saturday. Quite an accomplistment!
Established in 1996, EveryMac.com is the complete guide to every Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad and Mac clone in the world, with technical specs, configuration details, system identifiers, performance benchmarks, and global pricing info.
They've assembled some incredible footage so far; would be a shame to see this disappear
This 100 minutes long documentary about the Atari story will feature a list of unreleased interviews with the key people of these events, including a very rare one with Warner VP Manny Gerard and a unique one with Atari CEO Ray Kassar, the man held responsible for Atari success and the video game industry crash at the same time, who never appeared in a documentary before.
Quite a project
My name is Gaming Jay. I'm a retro gamer who started a challenge this past year to play through a book called '1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die.' Each week I've been playing 2 games and recording my gaming sessions and uploading them to YouTube. I have also recently developed a new website to document my journey with written summaries to supplement my YouTube videos.
Neat iOS camera app that simulates vintage graphics
I created Famicam64, an 8bit RetroGaming style Camera app. Famicam64 lets you take photos with 40+ real-time filters that emulate the nostalgic look of retro computers (and games) of the 80s and 90s. CGA, EGA, VGA, Hercules and old PC graphic modes are all there, as well as style emulating home computers and handheld consoles (C64, Spectrum or Gameboy etc. etc.).
It's a niche subject, but a story worth telling
The Secret History of Mac Gaming is the story of those communities and the game developers who survived and thrived in an ecosystem that was serially ignored by the outside world. The work draws on archive materials as well as 60+ new interviews with key figures from Mac gaming's past.

Very, very creative electronics project from Star Simpson
Forrest M. Mims III is a trusted name in the electronics world for good reason: his charming and engaging texts have drawn millions of people into the world of electronics for the first time. I am bringing some of those hand-drawn circuits projects to life by creating an exquisitely designed series of finely crafted and highly detailed boards. These are the Circuit Classics.
VC&G reader Ben Winchester built a NES-shaped coffee table; it's up for sale on Etsy.com
I wanted to show this to you because I feel this piece is truly unique and original to me. I got my start by replicating your NES DVD player and then moving on to putting my own twist on the NES coffee table, and now I think I have created an original design.
Bob Alexander turns Tinney's train illustration into a photo composition
I've just completed an art project that was inspired by Robert Tinney's painting "Computer Engineering" for Byte magazine. That's the one with a train chugging around a printed circuit board. I made a printed circuit board that resembled the one in the painting, photographed it, and Photoshopped a picture of an HO scale model train onto it.

Smoke alarms save lives. That's why smoke detector checks are a necessary and effective way to protect your building and the people in it from smoke and fire emergencies. And it doesn't take a lot of effort to keep yours working properly. Use the tips below to ensure your smoke detectors are up to snuff. In a true fire emergency, working smoke detectors could mean the difference between life and death. Check your smoke detectors today to keep your home or business as safe as possible.
Why Check Smoke Detectors?
There aren't many items in your home or office that can actually save lives in a fire emergency, but smoke alarms are one of them. Providing as much time as possible to escape the premises is of paramount importance during a fire, whether it's a large commercial facility that takes extra time to evacuate or a small family home full of people who are fast asleep. In a fire emergency, working smoke alarms offer a critical early warning that can directly impact the survival of the people you care about.
Tips on Checking Smoke Alarms
While smoke detector technology is more advanced and reliable than ever, it's still important to inspect and test yours regularly. Follow these tips from the experts at ServiceMaster Restore to conduct a proper smoke detector check in your home or office. Enjoy everyday peace of mind knowing that you'll have essential, life-saving support when you need it most.
Test monthly - Check every smoke alarm in the building at least once a month using the integrated test button.
Change the batteries - If your smoke detectors include a removable battery, replace it at least once a year. Don't wait until your alarm starts chirping to install fresh batteries. Set a reminder, and always stay protected.
Replace alarms every 10 years - Replace the entire smoke detector apparatus every 10 years to ensure you have the latest technology and best protection available. Non-removable lithium batteries only have a 10-year guarantee, so even "long-life" smoke alarms need to be replaced after 10 years.
Follow the instructions - The manufacturer of your smoke detectors will provide model-specific instructions for maintaining and checking the smoke alarms in your home or business. Keep all documentation so you can refer to it as needed.
A fire can wreak havoc on any home or business. While the restoration professionals at ServiceMaster Restore are here to help you recover from smoke or fire damage to your home or business, it's up to you to ensure the proper safety procedures and equipment are in place to keep your family and co-workers safe in the midst of an emergency. Checking smoke alarms regularly and correctly is a critical, simple measure you can take to help save lives should the unexpected occur.

Teenage Activities in Generations
General Teenage Changes
Felix has aged up to a teenager! Teenagers in Generations have the same general changes as children do. Teens and children can set pranks on various objects, such as rigging a shower to shoot out hair dye instead of just water!
Teens have a lot more interactions with each other now as well. It's not a social overhaul, but there are a few interactions that are exclusive to teens socializing with other teens. For example, any teen can do a "Shun" social interaction to any other, which basically causes the target to be ignored. It doesn't have a tremendous impact on gameplay, especially if the target is an AI-controlled Sim rather than yours.
Teen Parties
When you have a teen in your house, you're able to throw Teen Parties. They're basically the same as standard house parties, but teens usually care a lot less about the mess they leave behind.
There is a chance, even without World Adventures installed, that the parents will get a special pop-up box informing them that they've won a free vacation. Nikita and Saint won one, so they immediately left for it. This makes them leave our control, and their portraits gain the same gray backgrounds as Felicia's did after she left for Boarding School.
Felix decided to throw a party, which allowed him to gain a lot of relationship points with his friends and other classmates. However, he then got an alert that Nikita and Saint were coming home early. He wasn't able to clean the house fast enough, got grounded, and received a bunch of debuffs as you can see in the screenshot.
Getting grounded forces Felix to stay home. If he tries to leave the lot, the command auto-cancels if Nikita or Saint can see him. If his parents aren't around (such as being on other lots, or simply being in different rooms or different floors), Felix can tip-toe and sneak out of the house anyway.
If you're feeling generous, the parents can use the special social interaction "Let off the Hook," which immediately removes the "Grounded" debuff and allows the teen to come and go as he pleases. Of course, Felix tests Nikita's limits a little too much, and that simply isn't going to happen! He gets caught trying to sneak back in, and his grounding counter is reset!
Other Social Activities
Felix will be pretty lonely and upset for a little while. It's a shame, because Generations has added several other social activities. Teens can use a special social interaction called Ask On Date, which is self-explanatory. It's similar to social groups from Late Night, other than the fact that teens can't issue any "woo hoo" commands. It's a fast way to improve relationship with the target.
Teens can also ask their parents for driving lessons if they're not grounded. There's no real impact to doing this since a Young Adult will automatically know how to drive regardless of whether they were taught by their parents, but it can apply a buff and the teen can display his driver's license. Teens can no longer drive on their own until learn to do so from their parents, but taking taxis or bikes is always an option.
Finally, teens can also participate in other social events such as school dances or the prom. You'll get alerts by pop-up boxes when you have a chance to do any of these. They're great for improving relationships and will give teens a social advantage when they age up to Young Adult.

Are you suffering from lower back pain? If so, you know how debilitating it can be. It seems easy enough to take medication to ease the pain, but with over-dependence on prescription medication becoming a national epidemic, many people with lower back pain are looking for a simpler solution. According to a study published in BMC Health Services, physical therapy has been known to prevent habit-forming dependencies on prescription medication, and to reduce the overall health cost that a patient will have to pay for pain relief.
In fact, your physical therapist will not only help relieve your lower back pain during your sessions, but they can also provide simple pain-relief strategies that you can carry into your daily life. Some of the best pain-reducing techniques that you can undertake both at home and during physical therapy include:
1. Find a natural balance between your rest and activity.
Bed rest is a common initial prescription for lower back pain in some cases. It is especially true if your pain comes from an injury or re-injury. In fact, resting while applying ice packs is a time-honored way of reducing swelling in the first day or two. However, for chronic lower back pain, moving around is a much better medicine than lying around. Physical activity releases your natural endorphins, which have both mood-lifting and pain-killing properties.
Of course, it is important not to overdo your workouts before consulting with your physical therapist. Keep it simple by taking a light walk or getting some household chores done, in order to limber up your back and release those helpful endorphins. If a brace helps in relieving your pain, wear it to support your lower back as you move.
Physical therapy is an important exercise option. It delivers both the benefit of exercise and the watchful eye of a professional to make sure you are using proper technique and remaining sage. Your physical therapist can warn you about moves that risk re-injury and will work with you on both flexibility and strengthening moves. These exercises are meant to build up the muscles that support your spine, in order to ease pain on your lower back. They also help provide greater range-of-motion as you work through that back stiffness.
2. Focus on your hamstrings.
While it is not something that back pain sufferers always consider, your hamstring muscles can play a key role in whether or not your lower back joints become over-stressed. When the backs of your upper thighs are too tight, your lower back has to work in overtime, in order to compensate. Stretching your hamstrings helps to lengthen those muscles, which can help to soothe your lower back — especially when it's in spasm.
A physical therapy session can help you identify specific stretches for your hamstring muscles, and will help in explaining how the two muscles affect one another. In the meantime, try bending over and reaching for your toes twice a day. Don't strain as you reach down, and try not to lock your knees. If you feel any pain at the outset, discontinue the exercise, and talk to your physical therapist about alternative hamstring lengthening exercises.
3. Alternate between ice and heat remedies.
Alternating hot and cold compresses or packs on your lower back can help in providing significant pain relief. If you prefer one remedy over the other, it is not necessary to alternate every time, but often alternating the two extremes can help provide a fuller range of benefits.
Heat works to increase your circulation, and when your body experiences that extra blood flow, your healing properties are initiated in your bloodstream. Hot compresses and packs also ease pain by blocking the painful "signals" that run from the nerves in your lower back to your brain. However, cold packs can also come to the rescue with their ability to numb pain, halt spasms, and reduce swelling in the affected area.
During physical therapy, you'll receive expert applications of these ice and heat therapies. Your physical therapist can also recommend the best types of hot or cold remedies for your specific condition. As a general rule, ice packs and heating pads are good all-around options, as both are effective, inexpensive, and readily available.
Contact us for assistance:
If you are unsure where to begin when it comes to treating your lower back pain, contact our office today to schedule a consultation. During your first session, you can get started on learning how to make simple changes that will decrease the severity and frequency of your lower back pain episodes. Our dedicated physical therapists will be here to assist you every step of the way, and will help you reach each of your goals on your journey toward long-lasting pain relief!

NPR's Jennifer Ludden recently traveled to the African nation of Malawi, one of many countries in the developing world where child marriage remains prevalent. She found girls like Christina Asima, who was married at 12 and became a mother at 13. She is now divorced and caring for her infant son on her own. You can read Jennifer's full report here. Below are a few more things she learned while
reporting onchild marriage.
1. One in 3 girls in the developing world is married by age 18; 1 in 9 by the time she's 15.
The United Nations Population Fund estimates that every year, more than 14 million adolescent and teen girls are married, almost always forced into the arrangement by their parents. The countries with the highest rates of child marriage are in sub-Saharan Africa, but those with the largest number of child brides are in South Asia.
2. The number of child brides is increasing.
Suzanne Petroni, of the International Center for Research on Women , says for much of the past half-century, the average age of marriage did increase in most countries, but that's stalled out over the past decade. Now, child marriage is most prevalent in countries with the fastest growing populations. In sub-Saharan Africa, for example, U.N. Population Fund reports that births to girls under 15 are projected to nearly double by 2030. Girls Not Brides shows the child marriage rate of each nation in this map, and also links to local groups working to end the practice.
3. In developing countries, the most common cause of death for girls age 15 to 19 is pregnancy and childbirth.
Child brides are almost always married to older men, and lack the standing or skills to negotiate over sex or birth control. That means many get pregnant soon after marriage, when their bodies are too underdeveloped or too small to handle it. Girls younger than 15 are five times more likely to die in childbirth than women in their 20s, according to the International Center for Research on Women.
UNICEF finds that the child of a mother under 18 also has a 60-percent greater chance of dying in its first year.
4. Parents often believe that by marrying off a young girl, they are doing what's best for her.
It's true that parents often receive a dowry for marrying off a young daughter. But there are strong links between poverty and child marriage.
In times of drought, when crops fail and families become desperate, rates of child marriage have gone up. In patriarchal cultures, where young girls are often the last ones fed at mealtime, ICRW's Petroni says some parents may feel a daughter's circumstances will improve if she's someone's wife.
In many places, adolescent girls are also at risk of rape, even while walking to school. Parents may offer a daughter's hand in the belief this will help protect her from a sexual assault that could leave her stigmatized in the community and unlikely to be married.
5 . Child marriage hurts developing economies.
OK, maybe that's not such a surprise. But the World Bank has calculated the cost of girls dropping out of school — as almost all child brides do — and reducing their future earning power, and the numbers are staggering. It finds billions in lost GDP and productivity for developing nations like India, Brazil and Kenya. And the report notes this does not include the broader social costs when half a nation's population is uneducated.
