The sustainable landscaping company TechniSoil partnered with the state to repave the 3-lane road, which is expected to be 2-3 times more durable than traditional asphalt pavement.

your flu shot as effective as possible.\u00a0 Before you get your shot, make sure to get a good night&#8217;s sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Studies have found that how much sleep you get makes a big difference in how well the flu vaccine works.\u00a0 Because being underslept takes a huge toll on our immune system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People who average less than seven hours a night are three times more likely to get sick with the common cold.\u00a0 And less than five hours almost doubles your chances for pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When your immune system isn&#8217;t at full strength, you don&#8217;t produce as many antibodies.\u00a0 And that&#8217;s why it matters for the flu vaccine too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bad sleep habits in the week leading up to your flu shot can cut your immune response by more than HALF.\u00a0 So you won&#8217;t create as many antibodies, and it might not
