Trains, Trains, and Automobiles. This seems to be the world that we live in. We all have places to go and people to see and have to have some kind of transportation to get us there. As more and more people choose to use public transportation instead of driving an automobile the more and more trains are being put in. They are almost everywhere and the tracks that they run on seem to be right where people live. It is important that we learn the safety of trains and their tracks and teach them to the little kids so that everyone can be safe around them. Whenever you are around a train or track you need to make sure that you are paying one hundred percent on the train, tracks and whats going on. You should never be on your phone, texting or having your headphones in listening to your music. If everyone would do this people would be safe around the train and tracks. Once you get on the train then you can use your phone, text people and relax and listen to your music. …show more content…
There is a reason that the signs are there. They are not just for looks. They are there to keep you safe if you abide them. When you come to the signs and they are down stop and wait for the train to go by, never go around them and never try to out run a train. At night it is hard to see the train coming you need to remember that the crossing are your guide to a train approaching you so never assume that just because you can't see it doesn't mean that it's not coming. If you suspect that the flashing lights are not working properly, you may drive through the railroad crossing ONLY if you have a clear line of sight of at least one mile down the tracks in both directions, there is not evidence of an approaching train, and you can cross the tracks safely then you are okay to cross. But that usually never happens so treat the signs as they are directing
On that same thought you should always take off or take out distracting things like a hood or music or phone call. It can wait until you are on the train. If you are walking with you phone and texting not paying attention you can pushed accidentally and fall into the cross hairs of a train. Also when you have your hood on you can not fully see everything around you so you aren't fully aware of whats going on around you. If you have ear phones in and listening to music you can't hear the train coming and that is a very dangerous situation. People are warned with many kinds of different signs that trains are coming and train tracks are up ahead. So there should be no reason for an accident to happen when you follow the road signs and the cautions that you need to take. The roads that are called shared tracks lanes can be a hot spot for accidents to happen. In the video from the, "Utah Transit Authority Operation Lifesaver" It states, "Before you get in the lane check your mirrors and look at the light that tell when a train is coming." Always checking your mirrors in a lane like this is crucial and needs to happen every time. If you don't check your mirrors and only look at the light is not good because the lights may be wrong and a train could hit you from the rear end by not

These restrictions don’t only apply to people traveling in cars. Motorcyclists and pedestrians on bikes should also follow these precautions. School buses and trucks carrying heavy articles are required to stop at all railroad crossings no matter the situation for safety precautions. When following a vehicle that applies, prepare to stop behind them when they come upon a railroad crossing. A couple of tips that are also listed in the article in lesson 5 are to treat the situation (when coming to a train crossing intersection) and act as if a train is coming. Most train schedules are very inconsistent, be cautious around trains no matter the time of the day. Another tip is to make sure you never get trapped in the middle of a train crossing intersection. Don’t cross the train crossing intersection unless you are positive that it is safe to get all the way across. If your vehicle stalls, do not try and fix it in time of getting out of the way of the train, get out of your car and quickly let local authorities know of the situation and run towards the train limiting the likelihood of getting hit
You should never drive under, through or around any barrier or crossing gate at a railroad crossing because you never know when a train is going to come. Sometimes there aren't barriers or gates but you need to slow down and watch for the flashing lights. Also it is important to not be closer than 15 feet to the nearest rail when coming to a stop. Warning signs are there to protect you and it defeats thepurpose if you don’t pay attention to them. Public railroad crossings are marked with warning devices for our safety by highway departments and different railroad companies. You should know what the warning devices are and watch for them.

And for all of you fast drivers out there never try to race the train because it’s not going to turn out good for you. In the video It’s Your Choice it talks about many stories of people dying by being hit by a train. In one of these stories it’s about a young boy, this young boy was walking on the tracks with his ipod and had headphones in listening to music. By the time the train conductor saw the little boy on the tracks it was to late, he honked his horn and put the emergency brakes on but by the time he did this it was to late for the kid to realize there was a train behind him and the train struck the young boy and the end result was fatal. I hope that you will learn from this young boys mistake and will never even walk on the train tracks especially with earbuds or headphones on because you not even see or hear the train coming for you. In conclusion, I would like to remind you to obey all of the rules when it comes to railroad tracks. Always remember that you can never be to careful when it comes to
How to start running. If you are anything like me then you should try to start running. This has changed my life dramatically for the good. I am a 20 year old male that is not athletic. I am your typical 9-5 business man. I Had a job that was at a desk and I just had to edit videos. That sound a lot like an average american. I am not that average than you think I always had this burst of excitement that would give me the energy to do some jogging or some strength training like push ups or sit ups. Let me tell you that i wasn’t healthy so i got winded out by doing 10 push ups or 4-5 sit ups, or maybe even a jog to the nearest grocery store that was about a 10 min jog away. “I had to change” I said to myself. So the next morning I got up and
Most people never really think about it, but those in martial arts, police, military, fire/rescue or other high stress occupations may want to try to control the response that they experience due to the fact that some individuals will ‘freeze’ when startled, surprised or under extreme stress.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PreP) is a preventive measure against HIV for people that have a high risk of contracting the virus, not for people with the virus. In order to reduce the likelihood of catching HIV, PreP consists of taking the medication pill, Truvada, on a daily basis. Think of it as a birth control pill, in the sense of, if you miss a day the chances of getting pregnant are increased. Same goes with taking Truvada, effectiveness will definitely decrease if the medication isn’t taken on a strict daily regimen.
One of the many things that has really motivated me to apply for Trainee, is my constant urge to help people. I feel that Trainees have many responsibilities that I would be able to handle. I already fill some of the roles that a Trainee would and I'm willing to fulfill the other ones as well.
Exercise is an interesting topic. Too many people go with not enough or no exercise in their daily routine. Even though, many people know it’s good for you and that people should work out and exercise more often. But that may have to do with, people not knowing the full potential of working out and how it can help you much more in their everyday life. I think if more people knew about how it benefits someone’s strength, mood, anxiety, and overall health. It would change people’s opinions on exercising and working out.

Loving a sport means you have a passion for the sport. For me, my love is soccer.

When you love a sport you can’t wait to get out there and start playing. When you are playing the sport you love it’s like no other feeling in the world. When times are bad you can always turn to your sport and forget about the outside world and just play. Sports are a way to have fun, relieve stress, and to just get out there and
