If zombies were to start roaming the streets – yes, we said zombies – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants you to be prepared.
In the midst of providing guidelines on an unprecedented pandemic, the CDC updated its tips to prepare for another extreme occurrence: A zombie apocalypse.
While the CDC says it began as a "tongue-in-cheek campaign," it actually is a practical guide for any emergency, like hurricanes, earthquakes or floods.
"You may laugh now, but when it happens, you'll be happy you read this," the CDC wrote on its website. "And hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."
So, what would happen if zombies were to start roaming the streets?
The CDC says it would conduct an investigation, as it would for any disease outbreak, and provide assistance to states. Until it could determine the cause of the outbreak and how it could be treated and stopped, the CDC listed guidelines to follow to be "safer than sorry."
The first step is to prepare for zombies – or any disaster: Create an emergency kit with essentials to last a few days.
The kit should include a gallon of water per day for each person; nonperishable food items; medications; tools and supplies; sanitation and hygiene products; clothing and bedding; important documents and first aid supplies, the CDC says.
Next, you should create an emergency plan for when a zombie, or a hurricane, is outside your door.
This includes identifying the types of emergencies possible in your area – such as a tornado or an earthquake – to prepare for that situation and make a list of your emergency contacts. You should also pick a place to evacuate to and make an evacuation plan, which includes a designated meeting place for you and those you live with to regroup.
This blog is especially relevant given the pandemic and last month's extreme winter weather in Texas that caused 4 million people to go without power for days. Texans – and the state's power grid – were unprepared for freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall, leaving many stranded and helpless without power and water.
The CDC blog, which was originally posted in 2011, received 1,450 comments, most of which praised the agency for its creative approach to disaster preparedness.
"It presents a disaster in a manner that I can actually entice my family into discussion; and it will provide some assistance for any potential disaster as well," wrote commenter Shellabella.
"While I have yet to meet a zombie, I have been through a couple of power outages," another comment read.
Disaster experts seem to agree about the effectiveness of this campaign.
"I think it's great," John Sellick, a professor in the Jacobs School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, told Yahoo Life. "As we've seen with coronavirus, disaster preparedness is crucial."

The custom of electronic payments began in 1860 when Western Union used the telegram for electronic fund transfer. In 1946, John Biggins, who worked for the Flatbush National Bank in Brooklyn, New York, tried an experiment. His bank issued cards, which customers then used to make purchases. The bank paid stores for the purchases and collected debts from card holders. Biggins’ “Charg-It” became the first credit card.

Deep in the Earth's crust, almost a mile beneath the ocean floor, a pool of superheated magma pushes against the surface layer of rock. At several thousand degrees Fahrenheit, the heat and pressure are awesome. The rock layer buckles, and a ridge on the ocean floor rises several meters before slamming downward and outward. The molten rock and superheated steam explode, and two huge rock plates, each thousands of miles wide, are pushed a few centimeters apart. A few centimeters doesn’t sound like much, but an entire continent has suddenly moved. The resulting earthquake sends an undersea shock wave across the ocean. Minutes later, thousands of miles away, that shock wave, called a tsunami, crashes into shore.The explanation for the forces that unleash killer tsunamis, massive earthquakes, and exploding volcanoes, lies in tectonic plates. These are the huge rock plates underneath the continents.
What can happen when tectonic plates move a few centimeters?
A. The atmosphere can become cooler.
B. Whole continents can move.
C. The ozone layer can thicken.
D. The moon can move closer to Earth.

The Earth's crust is made of rock, which is composed of minerals. Minerals are solid, naturally occurring non-living materials that have a structure of crystals. There are hundreds of different kinds of minerals, but about 90% of the ones on Earth are silicates. Silicate minerals include oxygen and silicon along with some other combination of elements like iron, aluminum or potassium. Since each mineral is made of different elements, each has a unique set of properties. For example, diamonds are very hard, iron is strong and halite (salt) tastes good on food.
Which of the following is not true about minerals?
A They always include oxygen and silicon.
B They are naturally occurring materials.
C They each have unique properties.
D They have a crystalline structure.

Pain By Natasha Hernandez

Pain gains like a train.
It takes so long to stop.
And it gains and gains on you like a train.
And you are too afraid to yell for help because you won’t be heard.
Because when you talk no one listens.
When you are in a room full of people you feel alone.
You scream for help but you will never make it out of that deep dark place.
The bluebird in your soul turned black like a crow and ate all of the flowers in your heart.
And stopped singing the beautiful song now all you hear are those voices in your head.
You pray for the end but it will never come.
Soon the pain runs you over it didn’t take your life but it took your voice and your love for the world.
You decide not to talk or enjoy life because it always lets you down.
You decide not to have feelings because you feel your feelings are what's causing you pain.
In that deep dark place, there is no door to escape.
You cant get help because the train took your voice.
All you can do is pray for the end because your pain gains and gains on you like a train.

Reread the excerpt from The Phantom Tollbooth, Act II. Then answer Question 1:

Milo. [He hugs Tock, and then faces everyone.] Well, goodbye. We all spent so much time together, I know I’m going to miss you. [To the Princesses.] I guess we would have reached you a lot sooner if I hadn’t made so many mistakes.

Reason. You must never feel badly about making mistakes, Milo, as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. Very often you learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong ones.

Milo. But there’s so much to learn.

Rhyme. That’s true, but it’s not just learning that’s important. It’s learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things that matters.
