Eat a Few Hours Before Bed. In a health column in The Globe and Mail newspaper, dietitian Leslie Beck recommends eating your last large meal of the day no later than two to three hours before you go to bed.

Merchant Marine. Become a part of Americaâs âfourth arm of defenseâ â the Merchant Marine. The Merchant Marines lead civilian ships used to transport both imports and exports during peacetime and serves as an auxiliary to the Navy during times of war, delivering both troops and supplies. The United States Merchant Marine Academy is one of five United States service academies.
In an era of global trade and complex interdependency, Merchant Marine Officers ensure the free flow of goods vital to our national security. They serve in traditional positions on civilian ships everywhere from oceans and lakes to inland rivers. Youâll find the Merchant Marines anywhere maritime traffic is present. The Merchant Marines predate both the U.S. Coast Guard (1790) and the U.S. Navy (1797). In times of war, Merchant Marine Officers may be designated as military Officers by the Department of Defense.
