Whether you own a boat, rent one, or tag along with friends for an afternoon of fun in the sun on the water, just like a car, you’re always running the risk of a potential accident. However, that shouldn’t ever deter you from boating — after all, it’s one of the best summertime activities! Here are some safety precautions to take to prevent accidents and injuries on the water! Invest in a boating safety course. Human error accounts for a vast majority of boating accidents, and one of the best ways to minimize the risk of human error is practice and education. There are many boating safety courses, many of which have online options for flexibility. These cover many aspects of operating, maintaining, and riding on a boat, including safety tips, reading the weather, and handling the boat. Don’t drink and boat. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, alcohol contributes to roughly one-third of all recreational boating fatalities. If you are operating a boat, to best ensure the safety of yourself, those on board, and others sharing the waterway, don’t consume alcohol! Invest in safety equipment. Having the proper safety equipment on board is essential! Some of the main items include flares, navigation lights, a fire Stay Safe on the Water HOW TO AVOID BOATING ACCIDENTS THIS SUMMER
Discover Your Ideal Seaside Retreat
One of the most important decisions anyone will make regarding their vacation is where they stay. This is especially true for summer vacations at the beach. Everyone has a different idea of their ideal vacation, and where you stay can make or break the trip. Here are a few things to consider before booking a beach rental for your vacation. Size Matters How many people are coming on your trip? Is it just you and your significant other, or are children coming? You will want to pick a rental to fit your family’s needs. If your traveling party is small, a condo or apartment overlooking the beach will likely work. If your family is large or you’re worried about the kids being too loud, consider a single-family beach house instead. Location, Location, Location You probably already know what beach to visit, but choosing a specific unit can be challenging. Is a rental with a grand view of the beach and the ocean worth the cost, or is one without quite the view (but less expensive) still acceptable? You’ll also need to examine the surrounding area to ensure it has everything you need. If you don’t want to drive much once you settle in, choose a rental within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants. The Extras You should consider a couple of other things when booking a beach rental. If you plan to bring your pets, ensure the rental you book is pet-friendly. It’s also worth investigating if the beach itself is dog-friendly, as bringing your furry friend to the beach can make the vacation even more enjoyable. Many rentals also provide beach toys, body boards, and more so you don’t have to spend money buying or renting them at shops. Read through the rental description, and don’t hesitate to ask the owner any questions. FIND THE PERFECT BEACH RENTAL

In the 19th century, Denmark and Prussia couldn’t agree on where to draw their border. Both countries refused to concede or couldn’t reach an agreement on which country would ultimately control Southern Jutland, which today is Germany’s northernmost state called Schleswig-Holstein. This refusal to compromise ultimately led to war, and in 1848, Denmark won control. However, their victory was short-lived, as roughly a decade later, the Second Schleswig War was underway. This time, though, Prussia was victorious. After their victory, the Prussian authorities slowly began to move into the peninsula, implementing new laws over the Danes living there. These new laws prohibited anything Danish, including all uses of the Danish flag. Needless to say, the Danes were not happy — especially the farmers. These Danish farmers knew they had to protest this oppressive Prussian government, but they couldn’t just publicly wave the Danish flag. So, they got crafty. Danish farmers began to crossbreed their pigs to create a new breed, one that had the same markings as the Danish flag. These pigs were red in color, with one white vertical stripe and one white horizontal stripe. The farmers named their new pigs Protestschwein, or the Danish Protest Pig. This protest pig quickly became the mascot of Danish cultural independence, and their efforts didn’t go unnoticed by Prussian authorities. In 1881, a local Prussian police station sent communications back to the government in Berlin that farmers were breeding strange-looking pigs. However, while they could not prove that farmers were knowingly breeding the pigs to look like the Danish flag, “it was believed that the farmers were well aware of this and that this pig represented an affront to the Prussians,” according to records from the Red Holstein Breeders Association. An Unconventional ‘Bacon’ of Hope THE STORY OF THE DANISH PROTEST PIG

boating, and it’s just as dangerous as it is in a car! While driving a boat, be sure to obey all speed limits and take weather, sharp turns, and obstacles into consideration.

• 4 cups broccoli • 1 lb penne pasta • 2 cups basil leaves
Today, the Danish Protest Pig is recognized as its own breed but has a different name: the Husum Red Pied. And, the now-German state of Schleswig-Holstein supports the protection of this pig due to the cultural significance it offered its Danish ancestors so many years ago.
