The Importance of Railroad Crossing Safety in Éclatant City

The Airport City Of Whittier, Ca 90602, And The Date I...
1. The place is at City of Whittier, the location is 13230 Penn Street Whittier, CA 90602, and the
date I went to go visit was Thursday August 6. It was my first time attending a local governmental
meeting. The meeting that was held was titled as The Parking and Transportation Commission. I was
glad the topic was on this because I felt keeping our society safe is the most important. So the City
Council would do its best to make sure that there would not be hassle while driving on the road way.
They try their best to prevent traffic and parking problems. Obviously there is still going to be traffic
on the freeways, but they try their best to cause fewer problems for people in the society. The
members that were in the meeting would give suggestions or feedback, and recommendations to
other board members. Everyone had their own point of view about the Parking and Transportation
issue. The Directive was taking a look at the transportation ecological impact reports, future
transportation expansion strategies, and school crossing guard sites. I feel like their thoughts were
all good, however in my opinion it is not a good idea to use all those recommendations regarding
about the issue. The reason for this is because then it would be too costly. I feel that it would be best
to just take the best recommendation and then use that as a strategy for traffic flow. In addition, I
like the idea of how they need of school crossing guard places is important, because sometimes
children do

The Roman Empire : The Causes For The Fall Of Rome
Fall of Rome
How could the once miniscule Roman Empire (once one of the largest empires to exist) be simply
reduced back to comparable dust to that of its former rank? Since Rome's humble beginnings, its
reign has lasted nearly 650 years. These years were filled with vast culture, advances in law,
medicine, and breakthroughs that would set the tone for Western Civilization. But this would all
collapse into the enemy's grasp, as all things must have an end. Primarily government corruption,
military issues, and foreign invasion caused the defeat of Rome.
For many others, now including Rome, corruption of government has been a cause of its own
downfall. In support, Document B relays that, "Although there were many disas
ters, which led to the
loss of great cities, no one tried to restore breastplates and helmets to the infantry." (Document B)
When this issue that is declining the Empire can easily be solved, but no action is taken, is the
ultimate sign of irresponsibility and corruption of the government. In agreement, Document B also
states that, "Hosts of senators, bureaucrats, and clergymen were entitled to avoid the draft."
(Document B) By giving certain privilege to its own, the government displays a lack of support in
their own nation. This lack of support is what causes Rome to lose key battles, and therefore
contributes to the downfall of the empire. In endorsement, Document E explains that, "... taxes are
very severe, and unprincipled men inflict injuries on others ...

An Brief Introduction Of Arduino
An brief introduction of Arduino
1. History of Arduino
Arduino, a relatively new prototyping platform, has gained great popularity all over the world in less
than a decade, over 700,000 official boards had been manufactured by 2013 [1], not to mention the
amount of unofficial clone boards which is very likely to surpass the official ones [2]. In this paper,
the basic concepts about Arduino, the underlying principles are shown briefly, also the reasons that
it's so prevalent among both industrial and individual user groups, as well as some of the common
applications of it.
It's in 2002 that Banzi Massimo, a software architect, was hired by IDII (Interaction Design Institute
Ivrea, a graduate school based in Ivrea, Italy) as an associate professor to promote novel means of
doing interactive design, which is also referred as physical computing. But with limited class time
and reduced budget Banzi can't do much, like others he had to rely on a microcontroller called
BASIC Stamp which is developed by a California company Parrallax. Banzi found that board has
inadequate computing capability for some projects and a little bit high–priced (around US$100),
also it can't run on Mac system which is widely used among IDII designers. It's since then that he
started to think about making a board himself that doesn't have these problems. Then in 2004, one of
Banzi's students Hernando Barragan developed a new prototyping platform called Wiring when
writing his thesis, it consisted of

Highway Project Review
Auckland, a highly populated city in New Zealand experiences traffic problems frequently. This
problems needs to be resolved through development of a road system that would tackle challenges
imposed by the population. Auckland Transport manages road projects in the city. One of the
projects in Auckland city that is underway by Auckland Transport (AT) is the upgrade of Dominion
Road project. AT inherited this project from the Auckland city council, which had earlier undertaken
public consultation for a proposed upgrade to Dominion Road. Key concerns from the earlier
consultation undertaken by the Auckland City Council included loss of on–street parking, and
concerns that use of bus lanes by other vehicles would create four–lane highway. AT in its design
includes the concerns raised and has engaged both the public, including the potentially affected
residents, and other key stakeholders from the government and the private sector. AT has opened a
feedback process in which views about the improvement of Dominion road are collected to be
examined and possibly to be approved and included in the final design.

Pros And Cons Of Railroad Crossing
Railroad crossings can be very dangerous. In my opinion, people don't really take them seriously,
but they can be very hazardous and sometimes fatal. Here are some tips from unit 5 lesson 7 for
railroad crossing safety: Always make sure to slow down and turn your radio down when
approaching a railroad crossing. This will give you time to assess whether or not there's a train
coming and you will also be able to read the warning signs and hear any horns sounding. In the
video "It's your choice" a young boy who was walking on the tracks had his headphones in and
didn't hear the train coming was killed. I feel like this was a dumb decision to wear headphones
while walking on the railroad tracks. You should never park closer than 50 feet froma railroad ...

You should never drive under, through or around any barrier or crossing gate at a railroad crossing
because you never know when a train is going to come. Sometimes there aren't barriers or gates but
you need to slow down and watch for the flashing lights. Also it is important to not be closer than 15
feet to the nearest rail when coming to a stop. Warning signs are there to protect you and it defeats
thepurpose if you don't pay attention to them. Public railroad crossings are marked with warning
devices for our safety by highway departments and different railroad companies. You should know
what the warning devices are and watch for them. With these warning devices and being cautious,
you can avoid getting in a railroad–crossing crash. Pavement markings are X" and the letters "RR"
painted on the pavement in front of railroad crossings. These markings are there to warn you to be
aware and cautious of the crossing ahead and to pay close attention to the of a train. Railroad
crossbuck signs are located at all public crossings. If there are more than one set of tracks, a sign
below the crossbuck indicates the number of

Descriptive Essay On Eclatant City
Éclatant City Paris, France is truly an incredible city. While it is best known for its tourist
attractions, including the Eiffel Tower, Paris is so much more than this. Despite being relatively cold
all throughout the year, the warmest being in the high sixties, Paris has a population of around
2,241,400. Paris is a very historical city, founded in the 3rd century BC by the Gauls. Some tourist
attractions in Paris include the Louvre museum, Notre Dame, and Disneyland Paris. While Paris is
great, it did need improvements, and the end result was Éclatant City, our new and advanced city.
There are many infrastructures to choose from, but the most important ones that we have placed in
our city are modes of transportation, education, health, and safety. It is important to every citizen,
that they can get to places they want to be to enjoy the beautiful cityscape. It is also crucial that a
city is safe, which we have decided to improve in our city. Many new forms of transportation and
safety improving items will be placed in this city to make it even better than before! Éclatant City is
a place of the future. When remodeling the city, we added many futuristic elements, such as drones.
We used police drones to help keep our citizens safe. These drones fly around, and, if they spot
something out of the ordinary, a message is sent to the local police station, ensuring that the problem
would is taken care of. These drones can also spot fires in the city and alert the fire

Why Are Railroad Crossing Important
Railroad crossing is very important. It is always important to be aware of your surroundings and
what is going on around you. If you are at a train stop, you also need to be aware of what is going on
around you. You can never be too safe at a train stop and railroad crossing. Also you should never
walk on train tracks or cross between two different carts. The train could start moving and then you
wouldn't be able to go back. As I stated earlier, the understanding of railroad crossings and train
tracks are very important.
` When you are approaching a railroad, you always need to slow down. You need to slow down
because anything could happen. The railroad crossing gates could signal an oncoming train at
anytime. If you have headphones in, hood ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Put the distractions down and focus on what is important. It is never worst risking your life for a text
or your favorite song. When you stop at a railroad crossing you must be between 15–20 feet from
the nearest rail. You may not drive through, around, or under any crossing gate or barrier at a
railroad crossing while they are down or being opened or closed.
You should always look both ways when you are at a railroad crossing. If you look one way only,
you might not see something coming the other way. In the video "Utah Transit
Authority Operation Lifesaver" it explains that you always look both ways and even the other way
again. Something could come around the corner when you weren't looking and surprise you.
Walking on train track is also trespassing. you can get a big fine for being on them. when you cross
over between two carts, you are also trespassing. If you are crossing between two carts, the train
could start moving at anytime. If you get stuck or you don't cross fast enough, the train would go
with you on it. You could and would get extremely injured. A shortcut or faster way to get
somewhere, is never worth your life. Even if you are late for something, do not break the

A Brief Comparison Of Legs And Miller's Crossing
Legs, written by William Kennedy, and Miller's Crossing, produced by Ethan Coen and directed by
Joel Coen, portray the world of organized crime in America during Prohibition. Legs tells the story
of Marcus Gorman, a lawyer from Albany, New York, as he works for the notorious bootlegger, Jack
"Legs" Diamond. Miller's Crossing depicts the life of Tom Reagan, an Irish gangster, and his
struggle to secure Leo O'Bannon's supremacy over competing mob leader, Johnny Casper. In both
works, the jewelry, especially the rings, which Leo O'Bannon and Jack Diamond leaders wear allude
to their state within organized crime. When he is first introduced, Leo is pouring himself a glass of
whiskey wearing a grey suit and a large gold ring on his finger while Johnny Casper demands that
he forfeits Bernie Bernbaum. Whiskey means "water of life" (Class), referring to Leo's being the life
force behind organized crime. Grey is symbolic of "neutralization, egoism, depression, inertia and
indifference–meanings derived from the colour of ashes" (Cirlot 54). Thus, the grey suit which Leo
wears symbolizes his professionalism ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
"We [Marcus and Jack] found a jewelry store and bought her [Kiki] an eight–hundred–dollar
diamond, elaborately set ("A diamond from my Diamond," she quickly dubbed it)" (Kennedy 120).
Jack Diamond's name means "'luminous being'. It [A diamond] is a symbol of light and of brilliance.
Like all precious stones, it partakes of the general symbolism of treasures and riches, that is, moral
and intellectual knowledge" (Cirlot 81). The number eight is associated with regeneration (Class)
and the number one hundred is the square of the number ten, which is the perfect number (Class),
meaning that one hundred is also symbolic of perfection. Thus, the diamond ring which Jack bought
for Kiki signifies his rebirth into bootlegging and the beginning of a new

The Problem Of Car Accidents
Introduction and background Since the creation of automobiles in 1769, the number of cars on the
roads has drastically increased and with it the number of car accident. In the United Stated there
have been a total of 32,719 car accident; in the year 2013 that either did or did not involve
pedestrians or cyclist. The overcrowding of streets and large number of car accidents can be
attributed to the large influx of cars. While the number of accident in Texas is high standing at 3,382
as of 2013; a large amount; 10% of those accident took place in Harris County, in comparison to
other counties in Texas that have less than .1%. Car accidents have many causes such as running red
lights, drinking and driving, speeding, use of mobiles, lack of sleep and vigilance while preforming
the task of driving. These actions caused numerus deaths of the drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
Which is also why the leading cause of death in children is car accidents. Problem The problem at
its core of car accidents is the overcrowding of the roads; which is not only a social issue but a
financial issues due to the huge costs that are placed on the public and the government in order to
cover an accident; while cost is a term that is more than often used to discuss money, in this instance
it will also be used to not only describe money but also monetary gain through an occupation. While
the majority of the expenses are covered by the people that were involved in the incident there are

Western vs. Noir: An Exploration of Genre in True Grit
Even though the novel had already been adapted into a film once, in 2010, the Coen brothers
decided to take a swing at their own version of Charles Portis' classic western, True Grit.
Comparatively to the book and even Henry Hathaway's 1969 film adaptation, however, the Coens
have crafted the story into their own. Mattie's bildungsroman is more uncompromising and realistic,
the relationships Mattie forms with Cogburn and LeBeouf become more complex, and the almost
separated ending paints a different picture regarding this film's genre. The film no longer follows the
traditional recipe of what a classic western is but instead blends the praxes ... Show more content on

Not only is Cogburn describing how the whole hunt for Cheney is hopeless, but he also describes
Mattie as a harpy. Originating from Greek mythology, harpies are mythological beasts resembling a
bird with a woman's head. These creatures were attributed to stealing food and carrying off victims
when such things would go missing (Room). Cogburn's use of this mythology to describe Mattie
explains the femme fatale characteristics of her carrying off Cogburn onto her dangerous adventure.
This description helps explore how Mattie is embodying a femme fatale like character by seducing
Cogburn into this dangerous and hopeless "wild goose chase."
Mattie displays another characteristic of a femme fatale in the sense that she becomes a woman
where both males in the story are frequently fighting for her recognition. Instances such as LeBeouf
claiming that while he was "watching [Mattie], [he] gave some thought to stealing a kiss" (Coen).
The femme fatale is not often won over by love or lust of any characters. Mattie, even when
presented by these two beaus, stays very independent. This is reinforced by Portis' novel where
Mattie proclaims that she never really worried about marriage. "I never had the time to get married
but it is nobody's business if I am married or not married...A woman with brains and a frank tongue
and one sleeve pinned up and an invalid mother to care for is at

Public Manager 's Morals And Values
The 150 residents of Babcock Place are senior citizens who have gone to the city council to request
that a crosswalk of Constitution Avenue. Constitution Avenue is a four lane thoroughfare that leads
to the downtown district. The council asked the city planning department to send out an engineer to
determine if there was truly a need for a crosswalk. The engineer determined that there was no need
for a crosswalk, which upset the residents of Babcock Place along with the Neighborhood
Association that supported the residents. The council members were left to determine what measures
should be taken next, if any. This paper will look at how the residents of Babcock Place and the city
planning department can have influence over the city council's decision. Also, the paper will address
how a public manager's morals and values can have a direct influence over their decision making
process. Babcock Place Residents Babcock Place is an apartment building that offers subsidized rent
150 senior citizens. Babcock Place looks directly out to Constitution Avenue, which is a major
thoroughfare. Senior citizens residing at Babcock Place would like to be able to cross the street
safely. Unfortunately, this is not easy without a crosswalk. Residents of Babcock Place have
reported numerous instances where their friends and neighbors have had a very hard time crossing
Constitution Avenue. The reason many of them chose the area is that it is predominantly all
residential and it is close to

Cause and Effect Essay – The Right Of Way
In the state of Washington, pedestrians have always had the right of way. However, the recent
enforcement of this law is causing traffic problems citywide. Traffic tends to come to a screeching
halt without any warning. I was driving North on Nevada Street in Spokane, three of four lanes of
traffic had stopped to allow a man and a young child to cross the street, the fourth lane of traffic had
not stopped. Finally a car in that fourth lane of traffic stopped, causing the car behind it to slam on
the brakes, literally coming to a screeching halt. Had the man and child started across the street and
the screeching car not been able to stop, it would have hit the already stopped ... Show more content

The Washington Administrative Code (WAC 132G–116–090) states: "Pedestrians –– Right of way.
(1) The operator of a vehicle shall yield the right of way, slowing down or stopping, if need be, to so
yield to any pedestrian crossing any street, roadway, fire lane, or pathway with or without a marked
crosswalk." When a car has to stop for these pedestrians to cross, it can cause traffic problems. On
the other hand, Spokane City Municipal Code 16.61.240 states: Every pedestrian crossing a roadway
at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an
intersection shall yield the right of way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
Local law enforcement has stepped up their efforts to enforce the pedestrian crossing law. Recently
the Spokane County Sheriff's Department set up a traffic sting near Whitworth College; several
officers dressing in plain clothes posed as pedestrians crossing Hawthorne Road. The Whitworthian,
the campus newspaper, reported
Sophomore Meagan Schwartz slowed her car down when she saw a man step into the road at the
crosswalk. She saw that the man wasn't in a hurry to cross the street and assumed she was a safe
distance away, so she continued driving. Moments later, she was pulled to the side of the road by a
police officer on a motorcycle.
The result was a seventy–one dollar ticket for the

A Push for Safer Crosswalks for RACC Students and Faculty...
In this modern day and age many drivers and pedestrians alike become easily distracted by: cell
phones, I–Pods, navigation systems, as well as many other distractions. These distractions can make
it quite dangerous to even cross the street. It is quite shocking how worn and faded some of the
crosswalks at RACC have become. Even without the distractions the crosswalks are rather difficult
to see and be able to stop if a pedestrian steps into it. The crosswalks at RACC connect the main
campus with the parking lots, as well as other buildings, and classes just off campus. Having a
student population of almost 5,000 undergraduate students in addition to its full faculty and staff, a
large majority of these people have no choice but to park ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
Therefore while they are distracted and driving their focus must alternate between whatever other
task is at hand and driving. This draws their attention away from the road, which can potentially lead
to an accident. A crosswalk is generally designed to provide a safe path for pedestrians to cross by
marking the designated path that people can cross and in which motorist should be able to see.
"Should" is the keyword, because as the paint fades, chips, and wears from traffic; the path becomes
harder for motorist to see. The consequence of this is a driver will be less aware that someone may
step into the road trying to cross at these points. Laws and legislation are beginning to crack down
on these drivers but the roads are still a dangerous place for a person to be.
There are a multitude of options to increase the safety at cross walks. "A pilot program in Virginia,
which is based off of similarly designed programs oversea, uses zigzagged lines painted on the road
at dangerous crossings"( Woodward, 2009). The idea is that the lines will draw a motorist's attention
to the road, the upcoming crosswalk, and they become aware of the potential for pedestrians to be
crossing. Placing a crossing guard at each crosswalk could serve the dual

Guy Vanderhaeghe 's The Last Crossing
Guy Vanderhaeghe's The Last Crossing is a Western of subtly crossed borders. Vanderhaeghe elicits
a sense of blurred lines between opposites, giving the illusion that boundaries are not so statically
fixed. The historical figure Jerry Potts illustrates that the division between Indigenous and white is
not so easily distinguished by ways of appearances, languages, and relations. The lines of health and
illness intertwine as the reader follows Addington's syphilis, Custis' mystery ailment, and the
Indigenous peoples' struggle with smallpox. Justice, punishment, and the law become subjective in
the novel with regards to Madge's death, Addington's military massacre, and Indigenous resistance
against unfair treatment. Distinctions between ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
His abilities with languages lead to his "[making] a living as an interpreter and guide" (105). In The
Last Crossing Potts is used as a guide primarily, but his gift with languages bridges the gap between
whites and Indigenous, as he is able to speak English to the Gaunt brothers. Without the
understanding of language, the relationship between the Metis man and the English brothers would
never have been established. PROOF COMMENT
Names create an identity, and Vanderhaeghe uses this convention to further confuse the division
between Indigenous and white. Jerry Potts is also referred to as Ky–yo–kosi and Bear Child
throughout the novel, mirroring his own inner conflict of being unsure of what he really is. He wants
to be "a Blackfoot, a Real Person" (Vanderhaeghe 106) but he is most commonly called by his white
name, reminding the reader of his positions on both sides. Another instance for confusion is when a
Metis brother is referred to with his white and Indigenous name together in a sentence. "Unborn
Calf...McKay's pony" (330).
Health and illness do not have concrete characteristics in The Last Crossing. Addington's battle
against syphilis, Custis' near–fatal ailment, and the Indigenouss' constant fight with smallpox show
that appearances are deceiving. Addington is battling with syphilis throughout the book and his
health fluctuates between well and unwell. Addington's health picks up from being "liverish and out
of sorts, complexion poor, teeth

Comparing Clothing in Knight's Tale and the Miller's Tale...
One of the striking differences between the Knyghts Tale and the Millers Tale (which is supposed to
"quit(e)" the Knyghts Tale) is that of clothing (the former tale) and lack of clothing (in the latter).
Upon an inspection of the General Prologue's description of the Knyght, I found that clothing is a
very signifcant part of the Knyght's Tale. Chaucer's decription of him may forshadow (or, since
Chaucer wrote the tales after they were told, color his perceptions of the Knyght) the importance of
clothing in the Knyght's Tale. Special attention is paid to the Knyght's coat of mail.
"He was a verray, parfit gentil knyght.
But for to tellen you of his array,
His hors were goode, but he was nat gay.
Of fustian he wered a gypon

But this ornament may in fact hinder the tale. When Chaucer began the Tales with the Knyght's Tale,
he was probably quite aware that he was going to borrow heavily from other tales. "...Scholarship
has uncovered and stressed his strong relationship to conventional rhetoric..." (Finlayson 133).
Chaucer probably felt as if he was about to be bound by the fact that he was borrowing from another
tale (from Boccaccio's Il Teseida delle nozze d'Emilia), and that he would have to change it to make
it his own. The characters that he uses are "bound by literary stereotypes and narrative function
which they fulfil rather than transcend or reject." (Finlayson 147). Chaucer transcends the Romantic
stereotype, but the characters don't. The characters are bound to convention and the ornament of
Romance, much like they are bound by thier clothes that define them, keep them from true human
(flesh) contact, and that ultimately destroys them.
The first significant mention of clothing is when, after Theseus has conquered Thebes, the soldiers
go through the pile of corpses.

The pilours diden bisynesse and cure

6.1.2.2 Xing_Access (Crossing Accessibility) Cross Accessibility is a new piece of data being
collected. Crossings classified according to the road class (grid, highway, or urban) and the crossing
class (public, private, or GS). Generally speaking, public crossings are inspected whereas private
crossings are not; they are not under MHI jurisdiction. However, if a private crossing is publicly
used, it can be deemed appropriate to inspect. Moreover, where there is public right of way crossing
a rail right of way, even if there is no developed roadway, it is technically a public crossing.
However, these undeveloped crossings are not inspected, as there is no road. However, RPP wished
to retain these data points. A crossing accessibility attribute's purpose is to further distinguish public
and private crossings so an inspector can know prior to visiting the site whether the grade crossing
should be inspected or not. A crossing's accessibility can be considered normal, publicly used (PU),
or undeveloped (UD). GS, normal–private, and UD–public crossings are not inspected. Normal–
public and PU–private crossings are inspected. PU–public and UD–private crossings are not
possible combinations. In the application, these accessibility options will be unable to be selected
once a crossing classification is chosen. For example, once a crossing is

Traffic Congestion At Janta Crossing Essay
 For last four year, We are known about traffic congestion at Janta crossing which is at Vidhya
nagar to GIDC road and NH–48 (ANAND– SOJITRA HIGH WAY, which connect to SAURASTA).
 Reason behind it have many key features are there which are
1) Tirupati HP petrol pump
2) SBI bank (branch of GIDC)
3) ELECON group
4) Vegetable market
5) GIDC main entry road
6) AMAR Maruti car show room and service station
7) CNG gas station
8) Glossary and snack shops
9) Vidhyanagar railway station Therefore, Traffic problems occur at this junction. During peak hours
many times traffic conjunction problem occurs. It has being observed that time is getting wasted and
people don't reach on time to their destination to solve this problem we have selected this project.
Which cause many flow of vehicles in different direction at once.
 Traffic congestion is no fun for anyone, but it's deadly for public transport. When buses and trams
are stuck in traffic jams they fall behind schedule and, because this means that more people will be
waiting at the next stops, they fall even further behind schedule leading to bunching and
compounding delays. Bunched buses and delays make public transport unattractive for customers
and increase operational costs, so congestion impacts on public transport must be eliminated
whenever possible.
 Traffic Data Collection and projections thereof of traffic volumes are basic requirements for
planning of road development and management schemes.
 Traffic Data forms an

Theme Of Feminism In The Canterbury Tales
Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales as a way to portray satire and a lot of irony into his
view of Europe during the time period. While the tone can be taken as very sarcastic and mostly for
fun, there are some very serious scenes that in today's society would be disturbing, at least, to
unprepared young adult audiences today. This is already apparent in The Reeve's Tale, which
follows after The Miller's Tale, where he decides to tell a story about a dishonest miller. This tale
follows said miller and two university students who indulge in less than desirable activities.
Unfortunately, this tale focuses around the two university students getting into bed with the only
females at the miller's home by any means necessary, helping to bring about the themes of feminism
within the tale. Among these themes is the idea of "instrumentality", which is the view and treatment
of a person, in this case, women, as a sort of tool or instrument for men to use. These uses ... Show

When applied with the theme of feminism, it can be easy to see how the men in this story disregard
the wife and daughter's feelings when in search of a goal literally within their grasp. A large part of
this comes from Alain when he is in the process of raping the miller's daughter. He mentions how he
has to sneak up on the daughter while she's asleep and doesn't even offer her a chance to cry out.
(4192–4198) She is coerced into it and winds up just going with the flow since Chaucer could have
intended for her to be slightly okay with what's happening, playing on the idea that women could
secretly fantasize about rape. While this isn't necessarily directly disregarding women, the idea of
rape and the act of it is what shows the theme of denial of subjectivity, where the daughter had no
say and no chance to say anything, therefore being robbed of her

Crossing Within Polylingual Families With Contested Structure
Introduction
This research seeks to examine crossing within polylingual families with contested structure. I
analyzed a scene from the television show Trailer Park Boys in which a three member family
interact using the concepts of crossing, facework, and footing, in order to answer my research
question. I found that the central character uses crossing as a method of performing facework. As a
result of this, he also indicates preference and dispreference to his family members.
Theoretical Framework
Crossing involves someone speaking in another language, dialect, or pattern which feels distinctly
"other" (Rampton, 2000, p. 54). This can occur in a wide variety of contexts such as first generation
Americans using English in a non–English household in order to embrace one cultural system over
another. Or, using a different pattern of speech around a significant other's parents in order to convey
positive social values. In the case of the scene I analyzed, the central character's language is already
crossed as he is a white man speaking almost exclusively African American Vernacular English
(AAVE). He further uses crossing to interact with his Hispanic girlfriend. As a character, his crossed
language is one of his most defining qualities, making him an interesting case study. Because of the
character's use of AAVE as a white man, he can be juxtaposed with 'Mike', the person of interest in a
study of white teens and AAVE adoption (Cutler, 1999). Mike, like Jamie, the main

towards her car. As she was driving home with the music blaring loud as her raging voice sings to
the music, she gets a text message from her friends congratulating her on the win. And just like any
other teenager out there she looks at it and replies back to it. Going at least 65 on the highway with
the music still blaring loud, she replies. Not paying any attention to the road, she still looks at her
phone, little does she know she's coming up to a railroad crossing. She sets her phone down finally
and starts paying attention to the road again. But, once again, she gets a text from one of her
teammates. So again, she checks her phone, completely ignoring the road once again. Coming up
closer and closer to the train crossing, she doesn't' hear that a train is coming and is blaring its horn,
of course she doesn't hear because of her music. Still texting her friend she comes up within a fourth
a mile. Paying little attention to the road, she slowly presses the gas pedal a little more every second
not realizing it because she's on the phone. Coming within a couple hundred feet from the railroad,
the train still racing towards the same crossing she's coming up to. Inching towards the crossing,
now at a speed of 71, she's within 50 feet of the crossing, she looks up to realize that there's a train

Everything is going in slow motion for her, the train, her vision, everything. As she was realizing
she was trying to brake and turn her car into the ditch at the same time, but with the train going as
fast as it was, there would have to be a miracle to happen. And that's just what happened, a miracle
happened and Breanna missed the train. As she missed the train, she was still going at a speed of 55
mph, she turned the wheel so sharp

Utilization Rates of Pedestrian Bridges in Kuala Lumpur
Introduction
Traffic congestion and air pollution are becoming growing problems in many cities in Malaysia. In
order to discourage automobile dependency, and increase pedestrian activities particularly for short
trips, the government has begun to promote non–motorized travel options by improving pedestrian
facilities that promote an assured level of convenience, comfort, and security for potential users.
One of the facilities that have been provided by the government is the pedestrian bridge.
A pedestrian bridge or footbridge is a bridge constructed for pedestrians and sometimes for cyclists
and bikers as well. It reduces the conflicts of traffic flow between the pedestrians and the vehicles
by separating them. Hence, it helps in overcoming accidents and offers safety.
However, due to the added travel distance, most of the pedestrians normally avoid using these
bridges. This in turn, adds to traffic congestion and accidents that involve pedestrians.
For the purposes of this research evaluation, the site selections are around the city of Kuala
Lumpur.¬¬
Background to the Study
Pedestrian bridges may offer safety and protection to the users but pedestrians often avoid using
these facilities. According to the survey that has been conducted by H. Rizati, Siti Zaharah Ishak,
Intan Rohani Endut (2013), this is due to several factors. They are the added travel distance, the
location of the facility, and the vehicle volume. Pedestrians prefer to utilize pedestrian

It is up to the reader to see these themes and take them to heart as they read on in the tales, since
Chaucer isn't afraid of using his satire of the times and people in order to tell a real tale on the
realities of how society functioned during the medieval times. While this is fiction, Chaucer
intended to put in as many subtle or or obvious views and ideals as possible with as little censoring
as he could. Thankfully, he succeeded in such a controversial book, but while still being amusing
and deep for fiction of the time. Going hand in hand with instrumentality, comes the denial of
subjectivity, which is the disregarding of emotions and experiences in a human being. When applied
with the theme of feminism, it can be easy to see how the men in this story disregard the wife and
daughter's feelings when in search of a goal literally within their grasp. A large part of this comes

The Effect Of Traffic On Major Cities By Running A Few...
Traffic Lab
ITEC 201 In this lab we will examine the impact of traffic on major cities by running a few test
simulations as well as examining data on the topic. Please answer the following questions in detail.
1. What are some major challenges you feel cities face when dealing with and handling large
amounts of traffic? What could be some potential solutions that could minimize some traffic
congestion?
When dealing with handling large amounts of traffic, cities may experience a higher incidence of
accidents or speeding cars due to road rage. Cities also deal with risking driver safety because some
drivers may be tired from long hours at work and do not have enough energy to stay awake
throughout the hours of traffic on the road home every day. Traffic congestion not only affects car
drivers, but it may also delay the trip of those who get to places on the bus and in taxi cabs as well.
On city roads, traffic congestion may lead to the death of many pedestrians by car accident because
drivers may become impatient and outrageously try to run red lights or not stop at the crosswalks.
Also, the running engine in the high traffic may lead to high rates of air pollution. Some potential
solution are to build bridges or streets around the city that are made mainly for public transportation
services such as the city bus or taxi cab in order to reduce the number of frustrated drivers on one
road. Also, cities may also arrange for road construction to be done at times when the

Essay about Analysis of "Alison" from the Millers Tale,...
Class: English 2010.105
Professor: Dr. Arnold
Student: Bob Jackson
Date: September 7, 1999
Title: Analysis of "Alison" from The Millers Tale, Canterbury Tales
In "The Miller's Tale," the character of Alison is introduced as the 18–year–old wife of a carpenter
who is much older than the woman. The author's description of the young wife seems to suggest that
she was so wild, beautiful, and desirable that the old man had a difficult time containing his
jealousy.
Chaucer uses a number of expressions to "paint" a picture of the young wife. The use of the term
"paint" is intentional here, since Chaucer seems to be "painting" (with words) the image of a picture
perfect young woman who resembles a "painted" porcelain doll.
It ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Up to this point, the reader might think the young wife was an innocent youth, singing and dancing
her way through life, wearing white dresses and driving her older husband crazy. But there is a dark
side to her personality too.
The reader is told that while the young wife is made up and dressed like a little doll, it wouldn't be
much of a stretch for men to see her as a prostitute or a slut. He even states in the last line of this
section that for some men, the young carpenter's wife looks like the kind of woman they'd like to
take to bed, others would see her as the kind they'd like to take home to meet their mother (she was
a flower "For any lord to leggen in his bedde, or yit for any good yeman to wedde.").
It is obvious that while the older carpenter has married a young lusty woman who is full of life, it
could be a difficult situation for him depending upon how other men are viewing his new wife. On
the one hand, people will see her as a lovely innocent woman, while on the other hand, because she
is too picture perfect and overly concerned about her appearance, she may (with her wanton eye) be
giving people the idea that is interested in more than the

Persuasive Essay On Crosswalks
Summary
Since moving into the neighborhood about seven months ago, there are a lot of activities for the
residents to partake in. The neighborhood has eleven playgrounds, (some which are for younger
children considered tot lots), four basketball courts, a pool, a recreational center, and mailboxes at
the end of each resident's street. Seems like a lot of places you are able to walk, right? One thing
missing in the neighborhood is crosswalks leading to each of these different places and more. What I
am proposing is to have cross walks put up throughout the neighborhood so residents are safe when
crossing the road.
Problem
A large circle is the main road for the neighborhood and has eight connecting streets leading to
where the resident's houses are located. Families each day walk around the neighborhood to
different activities such as the playgrounds, basketball courts, the pool, and other activities. The
problem is when residents have to walk to different places there are no safe places to cross the road.
Currently there are no painted crosswalks or even pedestrian crossing signs. This can cause a major
safety concern for residents and drivers. Children and teens can be affect largely by this due to the
school bus dropping them off at the entrance of the neighborhood. Also, as this being unsafe for
residents this is also an unsafe condition for others such as, the families of residents, maintenance
workers, delivery drivers, etc. However,

The Problem Of Traffic Lights
The idea for traffic lights began in the mid–1800s when a system was essential to sustain the
amassed flow of horse–drawn traffic flow. By 1868, a signal was put in by the intersection of
George St and Bridge St, which is close to the Parliament. The installment provided pedestrians a
safe crossing, and an answer to officials that need to sustain traffic.
The semaphore involves a signal of a tall post with movable arm. When the arm is aligned sideways,
it mean stop. After dark, a gas lamp was lit at the top. The green lenses means to go, and red means
stop. Originally, the signal is controlled by hand, and the officers decided when the signal to be
changed according to traffic flow. They would also whistle to remind drivers, when the signal will
change. However, this method turned out to be hazardous. In 1869, a leak in one of the gas lines led
to a traffic signal explosion. The incident severely wounding the policeman operating it, and led to
the semaphore project to be terminated in London.
In America, the semaphore were be rolled out to public because there were more motorists travelling
on the road. However, many problems arose due to officers finding it to be difficult to sustain the
traffic congestion. Some cities started to install traffic towers, which allowed officers to have a
clearer view to monitor the traffic in an elevated platform.
In the early 1900s, the automobiles just gain popularity throughout the world and traffic becomes
busier results. Car were

Rules Of Courtly Love : The Outcome Of William Shakespeare...
Rules of Courtly Love; the outcome In the Middle Ages it was very common for people to follow
the methods of Courtly Love. Courtly Love is the way they chose to find love, they worshiped the
woman to get her attention and they also did things such as show noble and heroic character by
doing deeds. This method of love came with a set of rules that some chose to follow while others
didn't. The lovers were knights and they were chivalrous men with noble standards. When dealing
with love we all want to know if its true or non existent. The two people of this story chose to follow
the rules of courtly love to find out. There are two stories that I am going to compare for the
outcome of following the rules. In "the Miller's Tale", they use the rules of courtly love in the
complete opposite of what it usually is used for. The narrative telling the story, well actually the
miller makes a total and complete joke of courtly love and everything it stands for. He made it seem
very worthless by the way he talked about the characters in a very impolite manner as well as the
deeds that the characters do throughout the story. Although he is drunk his story has a purpose. I
think this story was made just to show exactly how crazy the rules of love are or may be. Because
based on his tone the miller thinks that courtly love is just a waste of time and thinks it's just crazy
and foolish to believe that love is really happens like that. The miller talks about a parish clerk

Wildlife Cons And Cons Of The United State Department Of...
Wildlife Crossings Pros and Cons In 2015, the Washington State Department of Transportation
began construction on a series of improvement to I–90, a key interstate that connects eastern and
western Washington. The project includes many measures to improve traveler safety and efficiency
such as avalanche bridges, expanded lanes, straightened curves, and replacement bridges (WSDOT–
I–90–Snoqualmie Pass East, 2016). However, in addition to those changes, they are also adding
controversial wildlife crossing structures to the interstate that are intended to allow wildlife to get
across the roadway safely without entering traffic. There are several benefits like improved genetic
diversity of our wildlife, less injuries and death from collisions with them, and lower economic costs
as result, but also many drawbacks such as high initial costs, predators exploiting the crossing
structures, and the crossing structures not being used by the animals they were intended for. Some of
the major benefits of the I–90 crossing structures are the increased genetic diversity of our wildlife,
lowering our costs from collisions and less injuries and death from collisions. With fewer collisions
with animals and allowing animals a safe way to cross the roadway, they are able to move more
freely and safely between various populations of their species (Doughton, 2015). This allows them
to breed with those they are not closely related to and makes the population more genetically
diverse. Diversity in

Once a driver gets on their phone, they also may decrease in speed because they are not focusing on
the speedometer, which could lead to other drivers becoming agitated. Then the other drivers may
exhibit road rage which could become dangerous to others on the road. A driver's focus should
always remain on the road. If one is on their phone they cannot see or hear what is happening
around them. A driver being on the phone while driving is one of the biggest distractions drivers
today face. Lastly, cell phone use while driving should be banned because it can become dangerous
for oneself as well as others on the road. Not only does cell phone use for drivers endanger other
people, it endangers the life of the operator itself. Drivers can run off the road into trees, ditches, or
poles; they may also run into other cars or drift into oncoming traffic. Using a cell phone while
driving also puts other drivers on the road in danger; if a driver is texting, their eyes are on their
phone and they may not see the car in front of them stopping, which will lead into a wreck that
could injury someone. I believe all states should ban all use on cell phones while driving. I feel by
doing this, drivers may stay safer. There are already laws in some states prohibiting the use of
phones. A driver using the phone while driving will become distracted, which takes their attention
away from the road. If one is not focused on the road, then

Suburbanisation in Surbiton Essay
Surbition – London
Surbiton is a small borough in the South–West of London just South of Kingston–Upon–Thames. It
has a population of nearly 170,000 people and has been at the centre of suburbanisation for many
years now. Much of the growth is form the centre of London
Timeline
1830 – Train line between London and Southampton was built which ran near Surbiton.
1837 till 1952 – The population of Surbiton grew from 200 to 2800.
1887 – At this point the population was at just above 10000.
1930 – A large amount of houses were built along in the centre of the village that were large houses
and a series of smaller houses were built going towards the River Thames increasing the population
size further.
1950s/1960s – A lot more schools ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This causes a lot of congestion at peak times and larger vehicles such as buses and lorries cannot
pass through. Surbiton is in London travel zone 6 (zone 1 is centre of London and zone 6 covers the
edge of London), which means that train fares are quite expensive. This means that many people
(40% of Surbiton) choose to drive to work and this in turn increases the amount of traffic on the
roads and increases pollution along the roads connecting to the A3 (main road into London). The
house prices are quite high in Surbiton, the average selling price in Surbiton in 2012 was £406,000
compared to the national average of £226,000. This makes in increasingly difficult for people on
lower incomes to move to the area which could lead to economic segregation (people with high
incomes living in different areas to those with a lower income). Another problem that was a
recurring theme in the 1930's was that people were becoming extremely ill as they couldn't afford
medical attention because of the prices they were paying for their houses along with their food and
other essentials.
Management of the problems
'The improvement strategy for Surbiton town centre' was launched in the autumn of 2009. The
strategy involved widening a number of roads in the town, building a new access road to the station,
having set delivery times for shops so roads didn't get congested as badly and delivery bays could

An Analyis of the Conventions of Courtly Love Within The Miller's Tale and Morte Darthur While
both "Morte Darthur" and "The Miller's Tale" display some characteristics of a satirical approach in
which human vices are attacked in a whimsical manner through irony, comedy, and folly, they are
actually quite different in their literary genre and style. "Morte Darthur", an adventurous tale with an
imaginary setting that perfectly idealizes the chivalrous knight–hero and his noble deeds done for
the love of his lady, is a classic example of a tragic medieval romance. A fabliau, of which "The

Within these works, neither female character feels a marital commitment, yet both feel a strong
commitment to their lovers: Guinevere to Sir Lancelot, and Alison to "Nicholas, this hende whom
she loveth so" (Chaucer 245). Sir Lancelot's commitment is also to his lover instead of his employer,
who also happens to be his lover's husband. It is important to note that "lovers" in both "Morte
Darttur" and "The Miller's Tale" did not necessarily refer to sexual partners, "for love at that time
was not as love is nowadays" (Malory 442), but to the emotional connection between two people. At
the time marriage was either an institution of convenience or a strategy used to increase familial ties
within the nobility and ruling classes; it almost never had anything to do with personal choice or
love. In fact, courtly love was typically not practiced within a marriage. Instead it provided a means
for people to feel and express the love that was missing in their marriages, while holding on to the
financial and social advantages that the marital relationship provided. Courtly lovers had secret,
lustful trysts which tended to escalate into a mental and sometimes physical affair. However, it was
expected that once an affair began, the lovers would be fully committed to one another, as Capellano
expressly stated, "No one can be bound by a double love." Malory especially uses commitment to

perceived as new by the receiving audience. According to author Everett Rogers, Diffusion of
Innovations offers three valuable insights into the process of social change which include: what
qualities make certain innovations spread rapidly than others, the value of peer–peer conversations
and peer networks during social changes, and assessing and understanding the needs of different
individuals in a specific population. In the book, Diffusion of Innovations, the focus is not on the
people who change, but the innovations themselves. The clip I chose to analyze for this assignment

He kept making points that society has already progressed enough to make things equal between
different people, and referring that a huge "call for diversity" already exists. The male actor in the
commercial is using "relative advantage" to refrain from making and choices or actions about
equality and privilege. From his perspective, he sees things as being pretty equally, so the idea to
initiate innovation and change around equality does not seem better than the current status quo. He
is using his own particular perception to showcase that action steps to achieve greater equality for
everyone is incompatible with his current values, norms and practices. From our text, Diffusion of
Innovations, new ideas that are "simpler to understand are adopted more rapidly than innovations
that require the adopter to develop new skills and understandings." Equality is a difficult, and often
at times, at taboo subject to address, so that leads people, like our make counterpart in the clip, to

Background:
Pedestrian spaces are becoming increasingly rare now–a–days. The increase in the vehicular
movement has moved the pedestrian into subways and over bridges. In most of the cities, a
pedestrian is not taken into consideration while planning and design of traffic and transportation
systems with the importance imparted to vehicular modes of travel.
It is frequently overlooked that almost every person is a pedestrian at some or the other point of
time. So serious thought should be given to various issues relevant to pedestrian safety, convenience
and amenities.
Pedestrian spaces have a long history, most of the olden towns in India, display a great respect
towards the pedestrians. The obvious reason for this is that, walking was the only and the most used
mode of transport.
Now–a–days, due to the bombastic growth of human population as well as vehicular population,
these older towns experience a huge problem related to traffic issues. As these towns were formed
with main intention of serving pedestrians, it raises a concern when it has to serve vehicles.
Providing accessibility to the transport network for all members of a community is vitally important.
For most members of the community severed from easy accessibility i.e. the very young, old, or
mobility impaired, walking provides the first, last and often the only mode of transport. Other
functions such as community involvement, health, recreation, meeting and

Tiverton Road and Wolverton Street Corridor Improvement
Introduction
We were asked by our Highway engineering lecturer to write a report about a current or previous
project listed on the Auckland transport site. After a research on the site, I have chosen to write
about Tiverton road Wolverton street corridor improvement.
Tiverton road and Wolverton Street, play a major role in linking the suburbs of New Lynn and New
Windsor. The 2.2km stretch of road carries an average of 31400 vehicles per day. And a two lane
addition was required to allow for the ease of travel and safer environment for both motorist and
pedestrian users. The project has been given less than 2 years to be completed starting in 2014.
Background
Back in 1920's, the work had started in developing an arterial road that helped link west Auckland
with its central suburbs. The 2.2km stretch of road added great commercial and residential benefits
in linking and intersecting with major roads in the area.
On September 2012, the road works started after a site blessing held by local iwi Ngāti Whātua
Ōrākei and Ngaitai–ki–tamaki in conjunction with Auckland Transport and Downer NZ.
Problem statement
With the increased traffic flow caused by the popularity of the road and the current motorway
extension to Maioro Street, the road required widening to lower traffic jams during rush hours.
Moreover, with the increase of residents in the area, the street required safer and better utilities such
as safer footpaths,
