[T829]The Worst Place To Live

by Ioan Margineanu, Ioa

A very unfortunately common problem that is found in the United States as well as the rest of the world it the problem of drunk driving. Driving under the influence or DUI as it is known in the U.S. is the act of driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or in inebriated condition. Driving under the influence is a fatal problem as well because 41 percent of total traffic deaths are caused by drunk drivers, and this is a very large number that should not exist at all.

And this is why DUI laws in the US have become extremely strict. For example, the California DUI offense laws have given way to approximately 200,000 DUI arrests every year. The California DUI offense law has enforced strict and stringent measures against people who have found to have a blood alcohol count of 0.08% or more.

California DUI offense laws are so strict that the state leads the nation in DUI arrests. These laws are meant to reduce the number of DUI cases. And victims and survivors of drunk-driving crashes have supported the California DUI offense law. It is crucial to have strict DUI Laws so that drunk drivers are not allowed to put the lives of others at risk
California DUI offense laws include specifics such as blood alcohol content level test, license suspension or revocation, checking of ignition interlocks device in the vehicle, field sobriety test to assess physical and mental alertness, and many others.
First time offenders charged under the DUI law could be sentenced to jail with minimum fine. However second offenses occurring within seven years of the first are dealt with more harsh law. It could be a minimum of ten days of jail and fines up to $10,000 and suspension of driving license for not less than three years. Similarly DUI schooling may also be recommended and this may range from 15 weeks to 18 months. And the state of California can also sale your vehicle or impound it with the proceeds going towards charity.

California DUI offense laws have severe criminal penalties based on the severity of the outcome of DUI related crash.
California DUI offense laws have changed over the years in order to curb the increasing number of deaths and injuries occurring due to DUI related accidents. California DUI offense laws have been argued to be unconstitutional in that by automatically finding drivers guilty, a person loses his or her right to have a trial by jury. However at the same time it has been argued to be 'legal per se'. It is a very unfortunate fact that DUI accidents take an innocent life every thirty minutes, so it is argued that DUI laws should allow for impartial jury trials.
Based on the California DUI offense law, a person under the influence of alcohol is charged on two counts, a Vehicle Code section 23152(a) count, driving impaired by alcohol and 23152(b), driving above 0.08% blood alcohol content

Statistics have proved that since the enactment of the 0.08% blood alcohol count law, the DUI arrests have decreased by an assenting rate of 45%. And also the number of deaths and injuries has shown a 50 percent decrease. These are positive indications, which prove that to an extent, the imposition of fines and punishments has shown affirmative results.

According to an ancient Chinese science of more than 4000 years, the position and orientation of the space being constructed and the placing of objects in the home will bring harmony not only to our home but to other aspects of our lives. The Chinese believe there's a reflection of our inner thinking and feelings in the interior design of our homes.
With the art and science of Feng Shui, we can make changes in our lives by simply making changes in our homes.

Nowadays, an increasing number of interior designers in Seattle, Miami, New York as well as other cities worldwide are considering and taking this science into account when it comes to decorating.

To achieve a harmonious, relaxed atmosphere, you must put your home in order and know where to place objects and which colors to use.

With these basics we can focus on some of the tips on how to obtain harmony in our everyday life:

Outside

The outside of your house should have a clear entrance. This means that you shouldn't have dead bushes, shrubs, and flowers. The address should be clearly visible. Keep the yard clean and clear as this will provide an organized area where you will feel harmony with clear and organized thoughts as you enter.

Family room

Everyone gathers in the family room which is the heart of the home. We consider this room a cheerful and comfortable place where we want to make sure our guests feel at home. We have to get rid of clutter; this will allow the Chi to flow naturally. Choose natural light and use a color scheme that reflects your personality. Use pastels, not strong colors. You may consult the symbolism of colors and the energy they release before choosing the ones you'll use.

Bedrooms

Do not place the bed with the foot of the bed facing a doorway. Make sure part of the bed always touches a wall; it promotes stability. Color is important in all rooms. In the bedroom, we want tranquility and relaxation so we should choose a color that encourages these feelings.

Dining room

Organize the seating comfortably so that everyone can talk to each other. When choosing a table, make sure it is round; this symbolizes stability. There should be plenty of free space near doorways; do not place any chairs or furniture where it would make it difficult for people to pass. If you don't have any windows in your dining room, put a chandelier or a ceiling fan, as this will permit the flow of the Chi.

Bathroom

Place bathrooms appropriately in the house because this represents the homeowner's finances. Keep them clean and well-ventilated. The bathroom should not be visible from the front door. Use a method of ventilation; this is necessary and very important, allowing the Sha energy to be eliminated quickly, and on the other hand the Chi to flow.

Kitchen

It is very important where you place the stove and the sink. Do not place the stove
facing the doorway as the chef should not be surprised but focused. Never place the sink next to the stove, as this represents water and the stove fire. There should be something
between these; you can always place a mirror if you have any design inconveniences.
Keep these clean to encourage family finances. Paint the kitchen white; this symbolizes
purity for good health.

With these Feng Shui principles we have a guide on how to decorate our homes and encourage a harmonious, balanced life.
