Summarize the following:
U.S. roadways are littered with a variety of waste, with the most common trash items being tobacco products (cigarette butts), paper, and plastic. Highways, roadways, and side streets are all common litter sites because motorists tend to throw trash and waste out of vehicle windows. Litter on the streets can be a safety hazard, as waste can damage cars that drive over it, blow into motorists' windshields, or even catch fire. Always use extreme caution when picking up trash on roadwaysnever pick up litter in the middle of the street. Wear safety vests and only pick up in the daytime so that you are clearly visible to motorists. Transition points include entrances to businesses or public services that prohibit certain items, like movie theaters, stadiums, or buses. The most common trash found by transportation points are confections (candy and gum) and cigarette butts. Heavily populated retail areas by shopping centers and convenience stores also create a lot of opportunities for littering. Always ask permission from the store owner or manager before proceeding if picking up litter in front of a privately owned business. Places where people congregate for leisure, such as parks and beaches, accumulate litter very quickly. Choose to pick up litter in these recreational areas to keep them looking nice and welcoming for locals and tourists and to protect surrounding wildlife! Ocean trash is a serious problem that can not only affect that appearance of our public beaches but can also affect the health of people and wildlife. If you plan on taking a trip to the beach, be prepared by bringing a couple of trash bags along with you to pick up excess garbage. Storm drains are designed to drain excess rain from our streets. Excess litter can block the drains, causing streets to flood. When trash gets into the drains, it can end up washing up on beaches or in our oceans. The most common items found by storm drains are cigarette butts, food wrappers, and plastic bottles. Only remove surface debris from a storm drain using gloves or a rake. Never reach your hand in the catch basin or attempt to remove a grate. Do not attempt to clear the drain when there is standing water. It can carry disease and be a breeding ground for mosquitos. Conduct a Google search to find volunteer litter pickups in your area. Some cities conduct annual neighborhood cleanups in designated areas. You can also volunteer for roadway trash pickup programs such as Adopt-A-Highway or Sponsor-A-Highway. This is a great way to keep your city clean with the help of your neighbors and friends. Cleaning up litter in groups is recommended, and can ultimately accomplish a lot more cleaning. Advertise the event on social media to get more people involved.

summary: Pick up litter on the roadways to keep streets safe. Remove litter near transition points to keep businesses and public services tidy. Look for litter in recreational areas while camping or hiking. Prevent litter from polluting our oceans by picking up trash near storm drains. Join a volunteer organization to clean up litter in your neighborhood.

This is a new technique that involves a lab shooting a small laser beam inside of an egg about 3 days after incubation. The technicians then use the DNA contents of the egg to determine the future sex of the chick. These are chicks that are bred to exhibit a sex-specific color pattern at hatching. This means that you will be able to tell the sex of the chicks almost immediately with a high degree of accuracy. Red Stars, for example, are a sex link breed. Males are yellow golden, whereas females are reddish gold. Ask around with your local farm supplier or other poultry farmers to see which "chick sexer" they would recommend. These professionals usually have extensive experience in sexing chicks and travel from location to location doing exactly that. They will generally charge you a flat fee for accurately sexing a certain number of chicks. Some old wives' tales suggest that males come from pointed eggs and females from rounded ones. The idea is that just looking at the egg's shape can tell you the sex of the chick. However, this method has been discredited over time and has about the same accuracy as a guess. If you just guess the sex each time you select a chick, you would end up being right around half of the time. For that reason, if you want to consider a sexing method a success, then its accuracy odds must be higher than 50%. Keep track of the methods that you use, your guesses, and the final results to see what works best for you.

summary: Use laser spectroscopy for commercial purposes. Get a "sex link" chick. Hire a professional. Don't trust egg shape reading. Select a method with more than 50% accuracy.

Alcohol is very harmful to the liver and, with prolonged drinking, can shut the liver down entirely. When alcohol is ingested it goes directly to the bloodstream. All the blood is then received and filtered in the kidney. It is now the liver's job to filter all the toxic waste in the body, including toxins from alcohol. This, over time, can create serious liver damage. The more damaged your liver is, the more SGPT can leak out of its cells and into your blood. Alcohol consumption has been a major contributor to liver diseases such as fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, and hepatitis. Exercise self-discipline to avoid aggravating diseases caused by too much alcohol consumption. This will help in decreasing SGPT from leaking into your blood stream. Simple exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, and swimming can improve your overall health in addition to helping your liver stay healthy. Staying active excretes toxins in the body through sweating. It also helps burn fats, keeping you trim. Exercise will produce more lean muscles, healthy organs including your liver and keep your body in tip-top condition. The fewer toxins your liver has to clean up, the more energy it can dedicate to strengthening its cells. At least 30 minutes of daily exercise can make a difference in your liver's health. When toxins are excreted it reduces the amount of work that the liver will be doing, thus preventing increased SGPT levels. . Smoke from cigarettes contains toxins like nicotine and ammonia. When you are exposed to these toxins, they stick to your skin and will be absorbed, giving the liver another workload to filter, getting rid of all the toxins in your body. It's best to avoid secondhand smoke, too, as this has similar effects. Not only is it bad for your SGPT levels, but it's bad for your heart, lungs, kidneys, skin, hair and nails, too. It also causes those around you undue discomfort. If your SGPT levels aren't enough, do it for these reasons instead. Smoke from air pollution contains fumes, gasoline, and ammonia, amongst other harmful chemicals that have dissipated in the air. If you live or work around an environment where you are constantly exposed to these toxins, reduce your exposure as much as possible. These toxins may leak through your skin, causing liver damage and raising your SGPT levels. If you must be around toxic fumes, wear long sleeves, pants, a mask, and gloves at all times. The more precautions you take, the healthier you'll be especially in the long-term. If you struggle with weight issues, you may be at risk of developing fatty liver, which can lead to elevated SGPT levels. Talk to your doctor about safe and effective ways to manage your weight, or ask them to refer you to a registered dietitian. For most people, the safest and most effective way to lose weight is to exercise and eat reasonable portions of healthy, unprocessed foods. Talk to your doctor about what types of diet and exercise are healthy and appropriate for you.
summary: Stop drinking alcoholic beverages. Get daily exercise. Quit smoking Prevent exposure to other harmful chemicals, too. Work on losing weight if you are overweight or obese.
