- Emergency Lighting Systems say that the ‘owner’ or ‘person who has control’ over the premises is responsible for a number of actions and tests in respect to the building’s emergency lighting system, to ensure compliance in securing the Means of Escape under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Monthly and annual testing, combined with the routine maintenance must be carried out by a professional electrical contractor in respect to the building’s emergency system. An Emergency…
You get up in the morning with only ten minutes left, before, it’s time for you to walk out the door to begin your day. You haven’t a clue where to begin. The process of getting ready for work can be overwhelming if not planned correctly. Remarkably overwhelming that you desire to lay back down and go to sleep. Getting ready can be a difficult task, but, how you attack the situation; can forge the difference in your day. The key is planning ahead. Planning for a successful day begins the…
Faced against the alarm clock, people generally have two choices: to get up or to hit the snooze and go back to sleep. Adolescents often fall into the trap of just smacking the snooze button and catching a few more Z’s. Many other difficult decisions are present in teens’ days; descisions of whether to do their homework or not and whether to go to class or not are just a few teens may face. All these factors can accumulate on an adolescent and add stress to their lives. Teen stress is caused by…
as a senior this year I will say that I have gotten better at using my alarm clock to wake up on-time. I am quite proud of this accomplishment, but I truly owe it to the intricate system I put in place for my alarm clock in the morning: First, I set my alarm for 5:45 AM and allow myself to eight minutes for a “snooze” period. Then, I simply use the snooze mode approximately four to five more times after the initial alarm to allow my body to gradually wake up. By this time I am nearly fully…
The Shot Felt Around The World BEEP BEEP BEEP! My alarm clock stroke 7 A.M. I hit the snooze button just like I always do. UGGGHHHH I screech as I crawl out of bed. I walk to the living room and turn on the news. I walked to the kitchen to brew my daily coffee. As i’m making my coffee, I hear the reporter say, “Currently I am at Dealey Plaza and the weather is beautiful. We’ve just gotten that word that the POTUS will be attending the parade in an open motorcade.” I heard this and my mind felt…
“BEEP BEEP BEEP,” blared my alarm clock for the fifth time in 30 minutes. Initially, the morning began as any dreary December day would: cold, bleak, and lonely. Until now, I had spent a majority of my first high school semester tirelessly optimizing the basic act of waking up. How late could I awaken and casually stroll into class by the 8:00 bell? Indeed, I got a concrete answer: 7:34. As that final alarm sent me scampering into the shower, I noticed my glasses remained on. “No problem,” I…
“BEEP BEEP BEEP”. I raise my hand to shut off the annoyingly loud alarm clock. A few moments go by and I immediately jolt out of bed, almost tripping over my own two feet. July 25th, the day I get to head down to Texas for a month. As I head down my steps I can hear my dad and my Tio talking. I also can smell the eggs, bacon, lengua, and the refried beans being made for breakfast. After brushing my teeth, I grab a plate and pile on the food. As soon as I’m done eating I rush back upstairs to my…
Beep, beep, beep, beep. Instinctively, my arm reaches across the nightstand to press snooze on my alarm clock. My mind and body nearly begins to return to slumber before I remember the reason I needed to wake. I hastily climb out of bed and dress myself in my green and brown camo shirt and overalls. The excitement begins to flow through my veins as I prepare for a trip to my grandpa’s farm. Papa Tom’s farm happened to be the perfect place to build and set up our hunting hut. My hunting hut…
When coach handed me the list of workouts to do on the sheet of paper, I balled up the paper with anger growling inside of me. “I can't do all these workouts in one day! That's impossible!'' I said breathing hard and fast. I felt as if my head was about to explode; my hands form into a fist and my nails dug into my skin. I shut my eyes trying to calm myself down. How can someone do all of these workout in one day? My body was shaking like a rattle snake ready to attack. When I forced my eyes to…
Waking up has always been difficult for me. I never wake up at a specified time, but I try. It's the thought that counts right? After hitting snooze about 5 times, I finally wake up around 7 everyday. I usually end up late to work and school but I like to think of it as my signature. I always skip breakfast, I'll have a coffee but I don't think that counts. I eat sparsely throughout the day because I'm so occupied with school, not to mention dealing with the stress doesn't help. I've never been…
