There was a time when the page of a magazine or a section of a newspaper
page were all you were given to show the value of your project. While
that may not seem like much nowadays, Chevrolet still managed to make an
art of it. Here are 6 of our favorite examples:

Healthy Snacks For When On The Road
Nuts
Peanuts, pistachios, walnuts, almonds or seeds, such as
pumpkin or sunflower, are good combinations of healthy fats and protein.
Although nuts are packed full of protein, fiber and healthy fats, keep portions
small: Just 14 almonds or 20 pistachios equals 100 calories. Also keep sodium
levels in check by choosing unsalted varieties.
Energy
Bars
Consider replacing your favorite candy bar with an energy or
granola bar to boost your protein and fiber intake while avoiding the sugar
trap.
Trail
Mixes
Trail mix is a quick and easy make-at-home snack that will
keep well in a storage container with lid. Combine granola, raw nuts and seeds,
and dried fruits for a basic trail mix.
Sandwiches
Sandwiches can be a quick and easy way to keep hunger at bay
while adding some good protein and hearty grains to your daily nutrition. Sandwiches
prepared with lean meats may need to be placed in a cooler. Other options such
as peanut butter (or any other nut butter) and jelly on whole grain bread can
be kept at room temperature.

Quick Guide: How to avoid getting car dents
It usually happens when you least
expect it to. As you are walking up to your car you notice something that
wasn’t there before when you parked your car. For something that happens in
just seconds, car dents and scratches take a lot of time and money to get rid
of. Car dents and scratches are an inevitable part of parking in public spaces.
So we came up with a few different ways you can help avoid damages.
1.
Keep
a look out for slanted parking lots - Most drivers are able to
accurately park straight when the parking lines are slanted. This also helps avoid
tight squeezes between cars.
2.
Keep
your distance – Choose to park at the end of the
lot as much as you can. A little bit of walking never hurt anyone.
3.
Keep a
safety cushion – This is leaving enough amount of space between you and the
car in front of you while driving on the road. Many car dents that occur often
happen due to people driving on each other’s tail.
4.
Keep
your garage area clear – If you park in a garage at home, make
sure that the space is cleared so that nothing can fall over or scratch your
vehicle by rubbing against it as you pull in.
5.
Parallel
Parking – Believe it or not, parallel
parking is the safest way to park!
6.
Parking
under hardwood trees – This should be something you
should avoid. Sadly, trees can easily
dent and scratch your vehicle.
7.
Parking
next to larger vehicles – Trucks and SUV’s equal large
doors.
8.
Neglected
vehicles – When parking next to a vehicle
that doesn’t seem to be well maintained, think of it this way: If the owner
doesn’t care about their car, they won’t care about yours.
9.
Used
one space, one space only – Never park over two parking
spaces- people could vandalize your vehicle due to frustration.
