Finest and Practical Ways to Heal From Hangover
Jan 6th
You wake up with an incredible case of cotton mouth and you are very irritable. The sun seems extremely bright and every sound seems heightened to a very uncomfortable degree. Your stomach feels quite queasy and even the thought of food could push you over the line, so that whatever is in your stomach probably won’t be for long. You are shaky and limp. Your muscles seem powerless and you have a headache of mammoth proportions. You have a hangover. The newest techniques for this self-inflicted condition involve using oxygen for hangovers.
Raw cabbage has the ability to detoxify the liver. It also has a protective effect on the lining of the stomach and intestines helping to counter the adverse effects of alcohol. Have a banana milkshake. Blend a banana in half a glass of milk and add two tablespoons of honey. This will replace lost potassium and raise your blood sugar level.
Don’t just drink. Eat something, preferably greasy. Stuff your stomach with food that fills you up. It will prolong the time needed for the alcohol to reach body organs. Choose only one drink and do not mix it with anything. Avoid cocktails and coolers. Clean drinks are known to cause less hangover symptoms. Ironically, they have fewer flavors which are exactly what people like alcohol for. Allot at least several hours for sleep. If you finish partying ar 4 a.m. and you have to get up at 7, not a single remedy in the whole world will help you.
Eggs contain cysteine, a substance that breaks down acetaldehyde, the toxin that causes hangovers. The liver contains glutathione that is easily depleted by acetaldehyde and eating eggs helps to absorb this toxin. Additionally, eggs give you energy in the morning.
Hangovers can be very annoying and painful. Drinking a lot of water is said to be very effective in curing a hangover. Some would even recommend eating a beaten raw egg. Other traditional cures are eating raw cabbage and rosemary.
Some doctors recommend that those who are susceptible to hangovers drink a large glass of milk before going out drinking. The milk is rumored to line one’s digestive bits and pieces. The more modern thinking is that milk really does little to help and that only a large dose of grease laden starch is going to be an effective remedy. Hence the popularity of the ever welcome kebab on the way home from the pub.
Honey, green tea, black tea, lemon juice, lots of water etc; concerned friends would shower you with advice. Though all these remedies are effective, unfortunately they take their own sweet time in evicting the discomfort of a hangover from your body. One can also take hangover pills and painkillers available in the market, but they come packed with the danger of side effects. So, is there a natural yet quick and effective way to get rid of a hangover? Yes, if you believe in the power of the mind you might find your cure in subliminal messages.
A Brief Introduction to DSA Practical Test
Jan 4th
After you have passed your theory test exam you need to pass practical driving test. The driving part of your test will last about 40 minutes. Throughout the practical test your examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving, including when you are carrying out the set exercises. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the practical test. The practical test will include an eyesight check (if you fail this, your test will not continue). The eyesight test requires you to read a number plate that is a certain distance away. After the eyesight test you will be asked two vehicle safety check questions. You will then be examined on your general driving and on two reversing exercises. The reversing exercises will be chosen from:
- Reversing around a corner
- Turning in the road
- Reverse parking
You may also be asked to carry out an emergency stop exercise. During the driving test the examiner will give you directions which you should follow. Test routes are designed to be as uniform as possible and will include a range of typical road and traffic conditions. During the practical test, the examiner will ask you to carry out set exercises. Throughout the test you should drive in the way your instructor has taught you. If you make a mistake, don’t worry about it, it might be a less serious driving fault and may not affect your result. The examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving. You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test. If at any time your examiner considers you to be a danger to other road users your test will be stopped. You are allowed to take someone with you on the test. This person must be over 16 years old and cannot take any part in the test. After the practical test When the practical test is over, the examiner will tell you whether you passed or failed. You can request feedback on your test from the examiner, who will then go through your performance during the test. If you pass…
If you pass and have a photo card driving license issued after 1 March 2004 the examiner will ask you if you want your full driving license issued to you automatically. If you want to use this service, the examiner will take your old license off you, scan the details and send them electronically to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). You will then be given a pass certificate to prove you passed your test. DVLA will then send you your new full license by post within three weeks of you passing your practical test. If you pass your test but do not want to use this automatic service, or have a license issued before 1 March 2004, you will be given a pass certificate by the examiner. On the back of the pass certificate it tells you what you need to do next. This involves sending your license and appropriate fee to DVLA who will then check your application and issue you with a new full license.
If you fail… If you fail the driving test you should ask the examiner for some feedback to help prepare yourself for your next test. Your driving report form will also show you where you made any mistakes. You can take another practical test 10 working days after your car or motorcycle test.
Driving test standards All examiners are trained to carry out the test to the same standard, they do not have pass or fail quotas. So as long as you demonstrate the standard required you will pass your driving test. Weather conditions/ mechanical problems etc DSA do not conduct practical tests in bad light or in adverse weather conditions for the safety of the candidate and the examiner. We will arrange another appointment at no further cost, but compensation is not payable. Candidates should call the telephone number quoted on the appointment letter to check whether their test will go ahead. If the driving test is not completed for reasons attributable to you or your vehicle, you will have to take another test at your own cost.

Choosing a driving instructor for your practical lessons –
One-in-eight driving instructors ‘not qualified’
According to recent telegraph news – one in eight driving instructors are not fully qualified, claimed the AA, which demanded the Government force driving schools to be more transparent.
The motoring group said the Government should intervene to insist learner drivers are told more clearly whether their instructor had yet to fully qualify or not. At present, the only legal requirement is for the trainee instructor to display an official pink badge in the windscreen.
The AA said that while trainee instructors have passed exams demonstrating advanced practical and theory driving knowledge, they have yet to sit a third exam testing their ability to instruct
