Thousands of people move across the country year after year. This can be either for career, personal, or even health reasons. Regardless of what their reasons may be, there's one thing they have in common, interstate moving is NOT a simple endeavour. Interstate moves require thorough research and extensive preparation. In this article, we're going to help you prepare for this challenging yet perfectly doable event of moving across states.
What should a person know about when they move across state boundaries?
Your clothes and accessories: What do you need to pack? Jackets and scarves or tank tops and loose clothing?
Your car: Is it capable of treading snow? Does it have working air-conditioning for hot and humid climates?
Your daily commute: How will you go to work or school in that type of weather?
Your business: Will your business thrive given the new weather conditions?
Health: Are you prepared for the diseases that are often found in certain types of weather?
Safety: Is your area prone to tornadoes, floods or earthquakes?
What is the language most used here? What are some of the basic lingo and jargon?
What is the most commonly accepted religious or political beliefs in the area?
Answering these questions will allow you to adjust smoothly into your new city or neighborhood.
In order to successfully transition into your target career, or to continue your existing career track, you have to do a bit of research on the state's economics and development.
What are the most common types of industry here?
What is their main product?
Will my business or skill set fit with the state (and city's) current economy?
In California, they give you 10 days to obtain a new driver's license and 20 days to register your vehicle. Your vehicle needs to meet smog check qualifications and car insurance requirements before it can be registered. Some areas require a recheck every two years while other vehicles are exempt.
In New York, a lot more steps are needed. If you become a New York resident, you must get a NY license within 30 days. If you're from anywhere but Canada, you must attend a five-hour pre-licensing course, and pass a written and a road test. You must also satisfy New York's Six Points of Proof identification system. After receiving your New York driver's license, you must give up your foreign license to the road test examiner.
If you want to make the most out of your income, consider moving to a state that doesn't have income taxes. Some of these include Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas and Washington.
In Georgia, it is considered unlawful to bring in, take care of, sell or purchase a wild animal (e.g. snake, piranha, rabbit, sloth, owl, eagles, etc.) without a permit.
In Nevada, the following animals may be possessed, transported, imported and exported without a permit or license issued by the Department: canaries, hamsters, aquarium fish, elephants, camels, alpaca, zebra, etc.
Moving from one state to another can indeed be very tricky, but with some research and preparation, you'll be able to go through it unscathed. To find the necessary agencies that you need to contact per state, you can visit http://www.usa.gov/directory/stateconsumer/index.shtml.

Q: Gnu AS doesn't seem to preprocess #defines, but GCC does I have a potentially large number of constants which are used by an increasing number of source files. I need to be able to play around with its value, so it's convenient for it to be defined in one place.
An example of my situation as follows:
The header file where I define the variables, rmode_loc.h:
#define __ASSEMBLER__

#define BSEQ_HI 0xF000
#define BSEQ_LO 0x0000

An excerpt from some code where they (should) be used, myprog.S:
.code16

/* Include constants */
#include "rmode_loc.h"

_start:

    ...

    push    $BSEQ_HI

    ...

    mov $BSEQ_LO, %bx

However, upon attempting compilation the linker reports the following errors:
myprog.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x1b): undefined reference to `BSEQ_HI'
myprog.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x1f): undefined reference to `BSEQ_LO'

Evidently an attempt is being made to link against these 'symbols' - thus I conclude that the preprocessor did not replace the symbols to values as those indicated by rmode_loc.h.
I read on another SO post (can't find the link) where it was mentioned that if the extension of the source file was .s no preprocessing would occur, and the suggestion to define __ASSEMBLER__ was also given - However, this does not seem to be the issue here as all the sources have .S extensions and I added a #define __ASSEMBLY__ in the header.
However, when using GCC as the frontend for compilation, namely gcc myprog.S -o myprog, the BSEQ labels are correctly replaced, and everything compiles.
My question is, what difference in preprocessing is there when using as rather than gcc to yield these results, and are there any significant technical differences when using gcc to compile assembly code instead of as?

A: GNU as by itself never processes #define directives.
A special feature of the gcc command is that when given a filename ending in .S, it runs the C preprocessor cpp on it (which processes #define and #include and so forth), and then runs as on the resulting output.  But when given a filename ending in .s, it just runs as.
If you want to use C preprocessor directives, you can either name your files .S and use the gcc command, or name them whatever you want and manually do both passes:
cpp foo.s |as -o foo.o -

Sean Hannity Is Losing His Mind Over Jimmy Kimmel
He keeps egregiously comparing the late-night host to 'Harvey Weinstein' and digging up clips of his satirical television series 'The Man Show' as evidence.

The feud between Sean Hannity, Fox News' resident wannabe MMA fighter, and Jimmy Kimmel reached even greater levels of ridiculousness on Friday, with the self-proclaimed non-journalist repeatedly accusing the late-night host of being "Harvey Weinstein Jr."
In a series of unhinged tweets, Hannity pointed to clips of Kimmel's past satirical sketch-comedy series The Man Show, which ran from 1999 to 2004 on Comedy Central, as evidence of his being a "pervert" and "Harvey Weinstein Jr."
Late Thursday night, Hannity teased that he'd have "much more tomorrow" concerning Kimmel's so-called antics—which has thus far consisted of digging up more archival Man Show clips, browsing the show's Wikipedia page, and referencing a conversation about Kimmel with Disney honcho Bob Iger that may or may not have happened.
For those existing on this planet—and not whatever one Hannity is on—conflating Kimmel and Weinstein isn't just egregious, it's incredibly irresponsible. Weinstein, a disgraced film mogul, has been credibly accused of rape or sexual harassment by up to 100 women; Kimmel, who has a reputation of being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, has been accused of rape or sexual harassment by zero women.
And while The Man Show was no doubt problematic—Kimmel once boasted of it as "a joyous celebration of chauvinism"—it's harmful to compare a sketch-comedy show, where sketches are often staged, pre-recorded, and participants sign consent forms, with real-life sexual misconduct.
Kimmel indeed fired back on Friday afternoon, tweeting at Hannity, "I vote for whichever one best helps you trivialize the horrors of Harvey Weinstein by comparing them to televised comedy bits in which every woman was a willing participant who gladly signed a release."
Such behavior is particularly rich coming from Hannity, who repeatedly defended Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore after he was credibly accused of a rash of sexual misconduct; defended Fox News president Bill Shine for allegedly covering up Roger Ailes' sexual misconduct (Shine was eventually let go from the network); passionately defended Fox News chief Roger Ailes following several sexual-harassment allegations (Ailes was also let go); and hosted Bill O'Reilly on his show after it was revealed that O'Reilly had settled multiple sexual-harassment suits, with Hannity saying to his predatory pal, "I think you should come back [to Fox News]."
The dust-up between Hannity and Kimmel began when the staunch Trump defender took issue with a joke the comedian made on his Jimmy Kimmel Live! program about Melania Trump's accent while reading a children's story during the White House Easter Egg Roll.
"Liberal Jimmy Kimmel making fun of the first lady of the United States and her involvement in the White House Easter Egg Roll, even her accent. Jimmy, you're a despicable disgrace," Hannity said, adding that he's an "ass clown" and arguing that English is Melania's "fifth language. How many do you speak?"
Kimmel, as is his wont, fired back at Hannity during his Thursday night monologue, saying, "This is the guy who defended multiply alleged pedophile Roy Moore, and I'm the despicable disgrace? I'm the ass clown?! If I'm an ass clown, and I might very well be, you, Sean, are the whole ass circus."
He continued: "You're the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey of ass-clownsmanship, but I do wanna say, I appreciate how compassionate you've suddenly become to the plight of immigrants in this country over the last 24 hours. Do you know what I think is disrespectful to the first lady? Cheating on her with a porn star after she has a baby. Why don't you rant a little about that, Sean Hannity?"
The funnyman was, of course, referring to porn star Stormy Daniels, who's accusing the president of conducting an affair with her mere months after the first lady had their son, Barron.

Anglow American School building The Anglo-American School of Moscow is a dynamic international school that was founded in 1949. The international student body of approximately 1200 students represents over 60 countries. With such a diverse population of learners, we embrace a culture that values various backgrounds, home languages and personal learning styles. Therefore, our mainstream teachers and support teachers work alongside each other to ensure that our support matches the learning needs of all our students. We believe the principles of good practice for children learning English are the principles of good practice for all children.
We began our journey with WIDA six years ago. For a long time we were using various language assessments for English Language Learners; however we wanted a tool designed with our international school diversity in mind. We were looking not just for an English language assessment, but for an integrated system that is connected to learning standards. We needed a system that would promote academic language development and academic achievement for students of a variety of language backgrounds. This is what we have found in WIDA. Besides using WIDA assessments for English Language Learners-including both the WIDA Access Placement Test (W-APT) for prospective students and the WIDA MODEL for current students-we are also able to use the Can Do Descriptors across all of our grade levels to plan English instruction that will meet students' needs where they are at.
Now that we have been implementing the WIDA system of standards and assessments for more than six years, we have begun looking into ways of continuing to promote the WIDA Can Do philosophy. Besides using just the WIDA assessments and Can Do Descriptors for instructional planning, we are creating personalized goals for and with our students based on their current levels of development, and reporting on student progress toward reaching their individual language goals. We have also begun looking for ways to integrate the WIDA standards and language instruction more seamlessly into the day-to-day classroom instruction, for as WIDA focuses attention on expanding students' academic language, we believe our role as support teachers is to equip all teachers, as well as parents, with resources and tools to support our linguistically and culturally diverse learners.
We have begun to empower the classroom teachers and all specialists who work with students to specifically target the academic language students must acquire to be successful at school. In the Elementary School, for example, we have begun looking into various ways of integrating WIDA standards and instruction into the Units of Inquiry, including developing language rubrics for the Units of Inquiry to support English Language Learners. We use WIDA Can Do Descriptors to create language targets for various levels of English language proficiency. An additional rubric provides teachers with various tools for differentiating the summative assessment task and gives various scaffolding tools based on students' English language proficiency. We are piloting this approach in Grade 2 and we have found it to be useful. Another way this rubric can be used is to communicate to parents of English language learners on not only the level of conceptual understanding their children have acquired but also on what was done during the Unit of Study to support their children's learning and promote their success.
While this is just the beginning of what we hope to accomplish by working more closely with classroom teachers, we are confident that we are on the right track to being able to provide students with the right amount of support to develop their success and independence with the English language, and WIDA has given us the tools to make this possible.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! news
ITV responds to reports that Holly Willoughby will be replaced on I'm A Celeb
Jeez. Give her a chance, guys…
By Anna Lewis
Poor ol' Holly Willoughby has only presented two episodes of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and already there are reports that she's set to be replaced.
Holly – who has teamed up with Declan Donnelly after it was announced that Ant McPartlin would be taking a break from TV – made her debut on Sunday to mixed reviews. But the idea of her being replaced seems a bit mad, right?
Well, yes, according to ITV actually…
After bookies cut the odds on Holly being replaced by Extra Camp's Scarlett Moffatt, a spokesperson told Digital Spy that any talk of Holly leaving the show or being replaced is "absolute rubbish".
The representative added: "We are very happy with Holly presenting alongside Dec."
Scarlett with her Extra Camp co-hosts, Joe Swash and Joel Dommett
Despite the mixed reviews, ITV ought to be pretty happy, seeing as the launch of this year's I'm A Celeb had the highest viewing figures in five years.
There's a good chance viewers aren't crazy about Holly's appearance as they're just still coming to terms with the lack of Ant. But the This Morning presenter has said in the past that she has no intention of stealing his jungle job – she's just keeping Dec company while Ant takes a break.
"I'm just looking after it until he gets back," she said when the news broke of her taking over. "It's lovely that he trusted me with it. It's totally unexpected to do this. You didn't really want to have to be asked to do the show, it's a weird one."
So let's all just cut her some slack, shall we?

Guardian Life Insurance's Simple Life: An Interview
By Michael ZagarisAlfred MabeyAlfredo Martinez-ValdesThe Guardian Life insurance company has revealed it has signed up more than 50,000 Australians for its simple life insurance policy, offering a "no-strings" guarantee that their lives will be secure.
The GuardianLife Insurance policy is aimed at individuals who are currently looking to save for their future, or who want to put their savings to good use by taking on an insurance policy in the future.
It provides no cash value to the policyholder and is not required to be paid off before the end of the policy term.
But in an interview with the Guardian Life website, Guardian Life chief executive Alfred Mabeysaid the company had signed up 50,007 Australians for the policy, which is available to anyone who has lived in Australia for a minimum of two years.
"We've signed up some Australians for life insurance.
That's the most that we've ever done in a year," Mr Mabeaysaid.
"We've had a lot of people who have been in Australia, in their 20s, 30s, 50s, 60s and beyond, and they've told us that their life has been in the red for a long time."
It's really good for the insurance company because it's the perfect solution for people who want a life insurance that will be there for them, when they need it.
"The Guardian life policy is similar to the life insurance policies offered by other insurers such as the Blue Cross Life, AIG Life and State Farm Life.
The difference is that the Guardian life offers a no-strings guarantee that the policyholders' lives will remain secure for life."
Mr Abelaesaid said the policy would offer a life-saving rate of 2 per cent on average for life, and 3 per cent for a one-off period of six months.""
If you don't meet the requirements for your policy, the life is not guaranteed."
"If you have any questions about your policy or want to talk about the benefits or benefits of this policy, we can be of assistance," Mr Abbott said.
"People are looking to buy life insurance to protect themselves from unexpected medical problems.
The Guardian Life life insurance is a fantastic policy for people wanting to protect their money."
The insurance company is currently offering the policy to people aged between 35 and 45.

When it comes to physical fitness, every fire department's approach is different. Some have invested in a fitness initiative, others haven't. Some struggle to create culture change and an environment where physical fitness is a priority and not an afterthought. Other departments don't know where to begin, or they approach the issue of health and fitness randomly with approaches that may not be based on science. Firefighters physical health Worse, some departments embrace systems that are too strenuous or likely to cause injury. Using heavy weights can cause harm. Sometimes firefighters exercise beyond the point of fatigue. Basketball may be good exercise, but the risk of ankle sprains and other injuries outweighs the benefits. Any exercise program should be science-based and should "engineer out" the likelihood of injury" "Any exercise program should be science-based and should "engineer out" the likelihood of injury", says Bryan Fass, Founder and President of Injury Prevention Systems and the Fit Responder. He works nationally with departments to reduce injuries and improve fitness for first responders. Need for a fitness policy at fire stations "Some departments have a 'fitness policy' that says firemen should work out whenever they can," says Fass. "Others have no policy at all, and some have to deal with cities, command staff and unions – it's hard to have a focused goal because everybody wants something different." Some departments have built a centrally located fitness facility that crews from multiple firehouses can use on a rotating basis. Others may simply have an arrangement with a local health club that is agreeable to a fire truck being parked out front. A principal benefit of a physical fitness program is avoidance of on-the-job injuries Avoiding on-the-job physical injuries A principal benefit of a physical fitness program is avoidance of on-the-job injuries. The number one physical affliction for firefighters and EMTs is low-back injury. Firefighters also suffer shoulder injuries from pulling; or knee injuries from tripping, stepping in a hole, or climbing in and out of a truck. Injuries also tend to be less severe – and to heal more quickly – among physically fit patients. Fit firefighters are less likely to suffer from heart attacks in a high-stress/high-heat environment. Fitness also helps to offset fatigue. Research shows that a "fit but fatigued" firefighter will outperform, have less risk of injury and better cardiac health than an "unfit but fresh" firefighter in a high-stress/high-heat environment. In short, better fitness equates to better work capacity and fewer injuries. Addressing wide fitness level disparities When it comes to fitness, a concern is the wide disparity among fitness levels of firefighters When it comes to fitness, a concern is the wide disparity among fitness levels of firefighters. There are young firefighters who are relatively fit working out side-by-side with an aging workforce that isn't equipped for the same level of activity. In the middle are some motivated souls who are more health-conscious. An approach that works for all three groups is to introduce activities with a low-risk-high-reward ratio. Regularly scheduled exercises should cater to the lowest-common-denominator participants. Exercise programs should be risk-averse. Importance of physical fitness programs A big need for fire departments is to have more structure in their physical fitness programs. "The need for structure is there, but every department is different," says Fass. In fact, a misconception about firefighter fitness is that they have to train all the time. Rather, a balanced approach works best. When scheduling exercise routines for each shift, different kinds of workouts should be scheduled about two days apart. One day might be high intensity; another might be a mobility/recovery workout; a third might be primal lifting, squats and deadlifts; and a fourth might be stability/mild cardio (core training). The light schedule assumes that more fitness-conscious firefighters would work out more strenuously on their own time. A big need for fire departments is to have more structure in their physical fitness programs Incorporating high nutrition in firefighters' diet Some departments embrace the concepts of good nutrition and how they can impact everything from a firefighter's fatigue to their ability to survive on the fire ground; others revolt and won't even listen. There are geographical differences, too: The West Coast is more health-conscious than the Northwest or South. Eliminating pain, increasing mobility and fighting fatigue are prerequisites for an exercise program Eliminating pain, increasing mobility and fighting fatigue are prerequisites for an exercise program. Participants should be taught to self-treat pain in the 16 "trigger points" around the body using therapeutic tools, such as a foam roller or tennis ball. There are tools to target each area of pain. Adopting a "mobility program" involves stretching for greater flexibility and mobility. And combatting fatigue means ensuring that firefighters get enough sleep. Incentives for fit firefighters Fears for their job security may be an unspoken but real concern among firemen presented with a new fitness program: "Get fit, or else…." Fitness programs should allow plenty of time for participants to get back into shape," says Fass. Some departments offer incentives to employees who achieve better fitness, such as a cash award, gift card, or extra time off. Some offer incentives to do tests based on NFPA 1582, which outlines an occupational medical program to reduce risks and provide for the health, safety, and effectiveness of firefighters.
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is setting the standard for the use of drones in firefighting applications. As one of the first major metropolitan fire departments to have a significant drone program, LAFD has flown more than 175 missions in less than two years, including the Skirball fire that burned the Bel Air neighborhood in December 2017. Since Skyfire Consulting, a drone services and training company, helped LAFD secure a Certificate of Authorization (COA) for the drone program, the agency has established a training regimen, secured new products and equipment and grown their program to 17 licensed pilots and a fleet of nine drones. When privacy worries created a backlash in the community, the LAFD met the concerns head-on and ensured their standard operating procedures (SOPs) addressed any privacy issues. Incorporate Drone Technology LAFD started a Pilots Training and Ground School Course earlier in 2019 A report to the Board of Fire Commissioners in March from LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas outlined the program's progress. LAFD started a Pilots Training and Ground School Course earlier in 2019 to teach flight skills concepts and legal aspects. LAFD Battalion Chief Richard Fields told the commission the LAFD's drone program has become a national standard. "We are mentioned in literature, we are mentioned in conferences, we are mentioned across the city family as well as outside agencies," Fields commented, as reported by NBC4 in Los Angeles. In April, drone technology company DJI announced a Solution Development Partnership with the LAFD to create, test and deploy DJI drones as an emergency response and preparedness tool. The agreement will provide the LAFD with access to new technologies, training and support to incorporate drone technology in its operations. Thermal Imaging Cameras LAFD flies DJI Matrice 600 Series and DJI Phantom 4 Pro drones equipped with visual and thermal imaging cameras that provide real-time video and data transmission to incident commanders. LAFD will continue to use DJI drone technology across a variety of situations including hot-spot identification and aerial mapping to help manage wildfire response, as well as incident response for swiftwater rescues, hazmat operations, and urban search and rescue missions. LAFD will continue to use DJI drone technology across a variety of situations "The LAFD has been working through a pragmatic approach to adopting drone technology for several years, including developing policies and procedures that define clear use case scenarios and building awareness among the general public about the positive life- and property-saving benefits drone technology can provide," says Fields. "[The partnership with DJI] gives the Department access to developments such as drones equipped with thermal cameras that will give incident commanders a real-time bird's-eye perspective," he adds. Complex Urban Environments When considering the benefits of drones, departments of any size can be inspired by LAFD's example "Combining advanced drone technology with new software tools will help bridge the gap between [the capabilities of] helicopters and [those of] firefighters on the ground, allowing us to address life-threatening situations faster and more effectively than ever before." The LAFD's drone program is one of 910 public safety organizations in the U.S. deploying drones for life saving activities, according to the Bard Center for the Study of the Drone (May 2018). "While the LAFD program shows how drones can succeed when operated within expansive, urban areas by a large department, drone technology is valuable to municipalities of any size," says Romeo Durscher, Director of Public Safety Integration at DJI. "Through our two-way collaboration [with LAFD], we will receive valuable insight into the complexities of deploying drones for emergency situations in one of the most complex urban environments in the nation," says Bill Chen, Enterprise Partnerships Manager at DJI. When considering the benefits of drones, departments of any size can be inspired by LAFD's example.
